Chapter 97: Overcoming Thorns

After playing Sunderland and resting for only three days, Crystal Palace sat at home and welcomed the challenge of Ipswich Town, a team in the bottom half of the table.

With a neat squad and high morale, Crystal Palace didn't have to spend much effort to win the mediocre Ipswich East.

A 2-0, not a big one, but an absolutely affordable score, Crystal Palace got 4 consecutive wins after Li Yi joined.

In this game, Li Yi did not score or assist, but his performance was not bad.

A week later, the league continued, and Crystal Palace visited Leeds United and won Leeds United, which was hosted by the FA after bankruptcy, with the same score of 2-0!

So far, Crystal Palace has won five in a row.

It is worth mentioning that in this round of the league, the top teams in the standings, while most of them won their opponents, there was a very big upset.

As for this unpopular participant, it is very unfortunate that it is Li Yi's old club - Queen's Park Rangers!

Shortly after the start of the first half, after being sent off, with a QPR of 10 to 11, the away team lost to the league's vice-captain Shao Sende United with an exaggerated 0-5.

And the QPR lost one after another, which directly fulfilled Crystal Palace, and after this round, Crystal Palace quietly climbed to the height of the second place in the standings when the outside world was not aware -

First play Ipswich, who are ranked 20th in the league, and then Leeds United, who are at the bottom of the league, and after this wave of sweet schedules, the good days of Crystal Palace have finally come to an end.

At present, after 32 rounds of league games, Crystal Palace has 19 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses, ranking second in the standings with 63 points, and their opponents in the next round are 19 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses, only one point more than them, occupying the top spot - Birmingham!

Well, Birmingham again! In other words, Li Yi has not forgotten why he was processed by QPR to come to Crystal Palace, and the outside media have not forgotten either.

Therefore, it is a matter of course, before this game, about the story that had to be said between Li Yi and Birmingham, all the media in London were fried once, twice, and every day.

……

"Lee, how's it going, how many are you going to score in the next game?" Look at what the media said, entering the house is guaranteed! Ha ha! ”

"......" speechlessly glanced at Jobby who was holding today's newspaper and teasing me, the actual purpose was to relieve himself, Li Yi touched his head and replied, "Enter 3, I want to, but after that game, the players in Birmingham saw me as if they were watching the enemy who killed their father." I'm afraid it would be a little more likely to be kicked out three times by them. ”

"Haha!" Amused by Li Yi's expression and laughing out loud for a while, Jobby said solemnly, "Lee, no matter what the outside world says, you must not be pressured." Don't always think about who your opponent is. Our morale is high now, and it's the same to fight anyone!

Take 10,000 steps back, even if you can't score in this game, it doesn't matter if we draw with Birmingham. Anyway, we are now seven points ahead of West Bromwich Albion in third and Crystal Palace in sixth. The upgrade situation is great! ”――

After a day's training, he returned to his home and completed this week's routine low-level dungeon, from which he got a level 1 bicycle lv1, and Li Yi skillfully withdrew from the dungeon.

Idle, with a detached mood, look at his personal attributes that have been completely removed, and when Li Yi turns his gaze to the stunt column, a bold idea comes to Li Yi's mind.

In other words, I don't know if it's a coincidence, Li Yi only triggered the final word twice in the game, just once after learning stunts, and once after stunt upgrades.

After inadvertently thinking of this, Li Yi had a bold assumption! ――"Can I think that after the stunt is learned or upgraded, the system will give you a giveaway that will be successful?" ”

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, Li Yi couldn't help it, and called out Xiao 7.

However, after Li Yi finished asking this question, Xiao 7 did not respond positively to Li Yi's question.

Slightly disappointed, he despised Xiao 7 for a while, and withdrew from the system space, Li Yi decided to try it himself when he competed tomorrow!

What the? Li Yi can't upgrade his stunts now, how can he try?

Don't forget, Li Yi currently has a total of 4 stunts, not just the one that is the final word!

Li Yi's 4 stunts, I won't talk about it as soon as the final word is made, this one must not be tried.

Even the dragonfly has been used, and I can't try anything, but the other two, one is a bicycle and the other is a cow's tail, which Li Yi has not tried since Li Yi learned.

Therefore, as long as Li Yi goes to the competition with Birmingham tomorrow and uses these two stunts to see if he can succeed, then his conjecture should be verified.

As for saying that Li Yi has been learning these 2 stunts for more than a month, why hasn't he used them yet? Don't forget, whether it's pedaling a bicycle or a cow's tail, it's an active skill. In the previous competition, Li Yi has not tried this aspect, how to use it? ――

Before you know it, the time has come to February 17, the day of Crystal Palace vs Birmingham.

"Okay, dear viewers, today's battle for the top spot in the Championship is still explained by your old friend, Jack. Taking advantage of the players on both sides, who have not yet entered, I will first introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides in today's game.

Let's take a look at Birmingham.

4 midfielders: Anthony Doyle, Cameron Jerome, Clemensen, Bununo Goth,

The two forwards are: Nicholas Bendtner and Martin Taylor.

Well, okay, the game is on, let's turn our eyes to the arena. ”――

The game, as Jack said, has begun.

went to the competition field, Li Yi, who aimed to test whether the stunt was successful for the first time, after the opening, he was not in a hurry to play "flower work".

Stunts are definitely better used at critical moments, no matter whether they are useful or not, Li Yi will not fool around when it is completely unnecessary.

received a short pass from his teammates from the midfield, took the ball and turned around, glanced at the opponent's tight defense, and saw that there was really no good opportunity, Li Yi did not play strongly, turned around, and passed the ball back to his own half.

However, Li Yi, who returned the pass at this time, didn't know that his unintentional return at the beginning could be very coincidental and set a tone for this game.

Speaking of which, this game, after the opening just started, there was a small episode. And the starring role of this little episode is the two sides of the game on the field.

On the side of Crystal Palace, they pretended to be pigs and tigers and tasted the sweetness, and at the beginning, they wanted to repeat their old tricks, continued to pretend to be weak, stayed in the backfield, set up a formation, and waited for Birmingham to attack.

Who knows, after Crystal Palace fell at the back for 1 or 2 minutes, the pressing they were expecting still did not come.

Waiting for the audience on the sidelines to erupt in sporadic boos, after raising their heads, the Crystal Palace players realized that feelings, this game is not only them, Birmingham, who is fighting away, seems to be an acceptable gesture for a draw, you pass on to you, and my brother ignores you at all.

In any case, it is also their home stadium, and the fans are already dissatisfied at this time, and besides, although Crystal Palace can accept a draw in this game, it does not mean that they do not want to win at all. Seeing Birmingham's reluctance, after a moment of hesitation, with Friedman's gesture on the sidelines, Crystal Palace slowly forced out.

However, forcing out and forcing out, in the midfield of this side, the five defenders in Crystal Palace's 5-3-2 did not move at all, guarding their posts and waiting for the opponent to counterattack.

The front court is 6-9, the pressure is not deep, and the offensive effect of Crystal Palace is not known. Crystal Palace did not take the initiative, and Birmingham stopped moving forward, and in the first half of the game, under the cooperation of the "tacit understanding" between the two sides, unconsciously, more than half of it passed.

Seeing that the game time is about to go to 30 minutes, the combined shots of both sides in this game have not reached 5 times, not to mention the fans on the sidelines, Li Yi on the field couldn't sit still at first.

Receiving the pass from his teammates again, Li Yi first turned around and glanced at the formation in front of him, and then, the players on both sides thought that in the face of double defense, Li Yi would definitely transfer the ball, but Li Yi unexpectedly took the ball forward, and rushed towards the two defenders who focused on taking care of him today, and Birmingham arranged a special person to keep an eye on him.

"Scared!" Seeing that Li Yi suddenly started and rushed towards himself and his teammates, McShevre kicked his eyes, beckoned his teammates, and rushed towards Li Yi.

Made, the shame that Li Yi brought him last time, McSheffray still remembers it vividly, if Li Yi has the whole game, it is the same as the first 30 minutes of the game, honestly, McSheffrey will forget it, and at this time he dares to provoke again without knowing what to do, McShevray swears, he will never mind, give Li Yi a profound lesson.

Seeing that the distance between the three people was getting closer and closer, Li Yi, who knew how hard he was working under his feet, and had no hope of being hard, used the "secret weapon" that had been hidden for most of the game and finally had a place to go.

Waiting for the distance between the 2 defenders and himself, pulled to within one meter, and saw that McShevre made a starting gesture of bringing himself down with the ball, Li Yi's right instep was very abrupt, towards the inside of the ball, it was just such a knock!

"Want to break through?" What is Li Yi's foot skills, McShevre, with his teammates, studied it more than a hundred times before the game, knowing that Li Yi basically doesn't have any feints, and Li Yi has already used the outside instep to pull the ball away at this time, and if he wants to make a move, he must wait for him to catch up with the ball first, where will the two hesitate?

"I'm coming!" With a shout and a halt to his teammates to avoid accidental injury, McShevre made a sliding tackle on the ground and shoveled towards the ball that was "dialed out" by Li Yi.
