[108] round: Large-scale rotation of the Blues

6 December 2008, Birmingham, sunny weather.

Birmingham fans were preparing for the game early in the morning, packing up their gear and calling on their friends to support their home side, Birmingham City.

These days, the war of words between the Birmingham team and Watford has attracted a lot of attention, and the fans of the Birmingham team hate Watford to this group of shameless guys, and they must go to the scene to teach this group of guys who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky.

I got up early in the morning, had eaten, got ready, and then it was twelve o'clock. Then it's time to prepare lunch and have lunch. After lunch, the Birmingham fans were ready to head out and slowly head towards St Andrews' Stadium.

This is because Birmingham's home game against Watford was played at 16pm local time.

The street leading to St Andrews Stadium was overcrowded, as if everyone had walked out of their homes in an instant, used the streets, and walked to St Andrews Stadium.

If there was a helicopter looking down from the sky, the streets would no longer be streets, but like rivers, with the endless stream of people surging on them.

Birmingham City fans appeared outside St Andrews in blue home shirts as they waited for their tickets to be checked.

Of course, some fans did not flock to the wickets, but tasted the outside of the players' tunnel, where they were waiting for the arrival of the Birmingham team's player bus.

An hour and 20 minutes before the start of the game, the away Watford bus arrived first, and the Birmingham fans who were waiting at the scene immediately greeted the Watford players with vicious words and slogans.

Of course, the main thing they call for is Watford manager Rodgers, because this damn guy is really bad, bad guy.

Amid the angry shouts of the Birmingham fans, Rodgers led his players off the bus with a black face and towards the players' tunnel.

At this time, the security personnel on the scene were extremely nervous, handcuffing each other to form two human walls, blocking the excited Birmingham fans from attacking the Watford players.

Birmingham fans frantically slammed Watford manager Brendan Rodgers, and Brendan Rodgers disappeared from everyone's eyes with a grim face.

Shortly after the Watford bus arrived at the scene, the Birmingham team's bus also drove into St Andrews Stadium, and the Birmingham fans at the scene immediately became excited, excitedly shouting the names of the Birmingham players to welcome the team.

The first to get off the bus was Dongfang Chen, and the fans of the Birmingham team immediately burst into cheers, and now Dongfang Chen is very popular in the Birmingham team.

"Orient! We love you! Touhou, don't bother with such brainless guys, you're the best! You are the best! ”

"We love you, East! We want to sleep with you! We want to give you a baby! ”

"Come on, Dongfangchen! Dongfang Chen, we will always support you! ”

The Birmingham players excitedly shouted what they wanted to say and rushed forward in the hope of having an intimate encounter with their idol.

However, the security staff at the scene were very conscientious and did not give the Birmingham fans any chance.

Listening to the shouts of the fans of the Birmingham team, Dongfang Chen was very happy and very grateful, grateful to these fans for their support to him. Dongfang Chen waved to the fans of the Birmingham team as he walked to the players' tunnel.

This caused the fans of the Birmingham team to be even more excited, even more excited, they chanted Dongfang Chen's name without listening, and kept crowding forward, fortunately, the security personnel were qualified, otherwise there would really be a little problem.

Walking into the players' tunnel, Dongfang Chen immediately walked to the locker room. However, when he came to the door of the dressing room, he actually saw Rodgers walking out of the visiting team's dressing room, and the two met head-on, both of them were stunned, obviously, neither of them expected to see each other at this time and in this place.

Soon, Rogers reacted, staring at Dongfang Chen with sharp eyes, if his gaze could kill people, Dongfang Chen would be dead now.

Dongfang Chen didn't pay attention to Rodgers, just snorted coldly and walked into the home team's locker room.

Seeing Dongfang Chen snorting coldly into the home team's locker room, looking like he didn't take him Rogers in his eyes at all, Rodgers was angry and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Boy, you can't be crazy for long! Wait a minute, let's see how Lao Tzu cleans you up! ”

With that, Rogers immediately turned around and went back to the locker room.

"Hello everyone, fans! This is Sky Sports, I'm your old friend Andy Gray, and I'm my partner Martin Taylor. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

"Hello fans, fans, friends, I'm Martin Taylor!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor greets everyone.

'Today we bring you a match from the 21st round of this season's Championship against home Birmingham City and away Watford. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

"There was actually no deep grudge between these two pairs in the past. However, the grievances between the two teams this season are quite deep, mainly because of the Chinese striker Dongfang Chen in the Birmingham team, and the grievances between Dongfang Chen and Watford and Watford manager Rodgers do not need to be repeated, everyone knows very well. Martin Taylor said.

"Before the game, the two sides were so loud that they almost fought. This game has also attracted the attention of a lot of fans, and it is definitely a Mars collision with the Earth. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.

"Now let's see if this game is a victory for Rodgers or a victory for Birmingham's Chinese striker Dongfangchen." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.

"Okay, at this time, the players from both sides have already played, and now let's introduce you to the starting lists of both sides today." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

"First of all, let me give you an overview of the starting line-up for the visiting Watford team today," said Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor, "Brendan Rodgers lined up today in a 4231 formation, with Rezzi in the goalkeeper position, and the team's main goalkeeper, Ryan Lee, has not recovered from an injury and is not in the 18-man squad. ”

Martin Taylor continued: "In the back four are Doyle, Blombie, Demeritt and Halle. The team's main left wing-back, Sadler, was injured and missed the 18-man squad. ”

Martin Taylor looked at the information in his hand and continued: "In the midfield position, it is Williams and Williamson. ”

Martin Taylor continued: "In the front three it's Francis, McKanouf and Tommy Smith, nothing has changed. ”

Martin Taylor continued: "At the top of the pack is the big Polish centre-forward Rashak. ”

Martin Taylor added: "Polish centre-forward Rashak is now Watford's top scorer, he has scored 10 goals so far, and his goal efficiency is good, ranking fifth in the Championship. ”

Andy Gray excused: "Maybe it's because of such a tall center in the team that Rodgers didn't fancy Dongfang Chen in the first place." However, from the current point of view, Dongfang Chen is still slightly more powerful. ”

Andy Gray continued: "Okay, now let me give you a brief overview of the starting XI for Birmingham City, where McLeish is in a 4321 formation with Doyle in goalkeeper. ”

Andy Gray immediately explained: "Mike Taylor was suddenly injured in the pre-game warm-up, so substitute goalkeeper Doyle came in as the starting goalkeeper. ”

Hearing this, the fans of the Birmingham team were a little nervous, Doyle is a temporary substitute player, and it's really hard to say whether he is reliable or not.

Watford fans are delighted, this is their chance.

Andy Gray continued: "In the back four positions are David Murphy, Gaddy, Ridgewell and Quedru, and there is a lot of change in the back line, Martin Taylor and Pannaby are not starting, with Martin Taylor injured and Pannaby resting. ”

Andy Gray said: 'There was a lot of change at the back for Birmingham City today and it was an uncertain factor for them and this is an opportunity for Watford. ”

Andy Gray continued: "The three in front of the back four are Sebastian Larsson, Lee Carsley and David Johnson. McFadden didn't appear in the starting lineup today and sat on the bench. ”

Andy Gray took a look at the information and said: "The two in front of the midfield trio are Kevin Phillips and Marcus Bent, and Jemmro is also not in the starting line, so he is rested. ”

Andy Gray didn't need to look at the information now, and said directly: "Of course, the top one is the hottest striker in the Championship today, Dongfang Chen!" ”

Martin Taylor said: "Birmingham City have a lot of rotation today, it's a hidden danger for Birmingham and they have to pay attention to it, otherwise this game is really hanging. ”

Andy Gray also said: "Yes, the Birmingham team has had rotations before, but there has never been such a large rotation, McLeish is a little bold today, is he underestimating Rodgers?" ”

Brendan Rodgers had the same idea when he saw the Birmingham starting line-up, and he frowned and was furious.

He, Rogers, was underestimated, a bunch of damn guys, you're going to regret it!

At this point, players from both sides have already come out and taken their positions in the stadium, waiting for the game to begin.

Dongfang Chen and Kevin Phillips once again stood in the center circle, and today it was still the Birmingham team who got the ball, and they will be the first to kick off.

Fans on both sides waited with bated breath for the game to begin.

Honk!

With a whistle, Birmingham's home game against Watford officially began.

"The game started with Birmingham, who were wearing their traditional blue jerseys and scoring from the right side of the curtain to the left. Watford, on the other hand, wore yellow jerseys and attacked from the left side of the screen to the right. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray growled.

Dongfang Chen took the football a little and rushed into Watford's half by himself.

Kevin Phillips sent the ball back, and Sebastian Larsson received the ball and immediately sent a long ball towards Watford's half.

The football flew straight in the direction of Dongfang Chen's rapid forward, and the first attack of the Birmingham team came!
