fat man who can't play football

Chapter 41 Ups and downs
The defeat at home made the whole Leeds team aware of their own defensive shortcomings. Yevez and Redfern worked harder to polish the team's defense in daily training.Fatty is also determined to make great efforts to improve the team's set-piece defense in daily training.

After discussing with the coaching staff, the fat man decided to give up the zone marking in the corner kick defense.Leeds players are obviously not suitable for this defensive method, and the concentration and concentration of the defensive players cannot meet the requirements of zone-marking defense.

The improved corner kick defense method is man-to-man, leaving only Belotti in the frontcourt to contain the opponent's defender, and Ali stands on the penalty area line as the engine from defense to offense.

Wood, who has excellent header ability, returns to the penalty area and is responsible for marking the opponent's arrow figure.

Yevez and Redfern, after getting Fatty's instructions, took part in set-piece defensive training in their usual training, and constantly put forward more detailed requirements for the running and response of the players in man-to-man.

Overall, the defense works well with Coady on the floor.He talks a lot and has a loud voice to urge his teammates to keep up with his defenders all the time, and he can also remind his teammates to pay attention to the offensive players who plug in later.

What made Fatty vomit blood was that Cody had to stop for two games. Fatty felt that he needed to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Cody about tactics and discipline.In order to let this iron-blooded man have a long memory, Fat Brother doesn't mind fined him for a week or two of salary.

Former captain Pierce has been working harder in recent games and seems to feel that the opportunity has come after seeing Austin's poor performance.And in the corner kick defense drill, he didn't care about his embarrassing identity, shouted orders to his teammates, and organized the defense well.

This caused Fatty a headache. If Austin continues to play, he may perform worse. If he is taken out of the starting lineup, it may damage the self-confidence of the Jamaicans.

Just when the fat man struggled in his daily life, God helped him make a choice.The Swiss Berardi accidentally sprained his ankle during training and limped back to the locker room with the help of the team doctor.

The information from the medical team came back soon, and the ankle was slightly sprained. To be on the safe side, it was put on the daily observation list and recuperated for one to two weeks.

On November 11, in the No.1 round of the English Championship, Leeds United challenged Cardiff City as a guest.Fatty didn't have the habit of announcing the starters the day before the game. The players in the locker room didn't know who would start today until before the game.

Due to the team's recent player suspension and injury reduction, many players sat on the bench calmly on the surface, but they were actually full of expectations in their hearts.

After the assistant coach Yevez came in, he began to announce the starting list for today's game.

"Christopher Wood, Andrea Belotti, Dele Alli, Lewis Cook, Alex Mowat, Charlie Taylor, Sam Byram, Liam Cooper, William Austin, and . . . ”

"Jason Pierce, Pierluigi Gollini."

Pierce has been pretending to calmly tie the shoelaces of his sneakers. After Berardi retired from training with an injury, Pierce had a premonition that he would start.

But Pierce breathed a sigh of relief when his name was actually called.After the clash with the head coach, Jason (Pierce) didn't get another start.Coupled with the team's recent excellent performance, he was firmly pushed on the bench.

It is impossible to say that Pierce is not angry about this, after all, in his heart, he feels that he is no worse than any central defender in the team.But he understood that after the "sunglasses gate", he would not have much time to stay in Leeds United, unless that fat man dismissed get out of class.

At present, it seems that there is no hope left, but Pierce wants to prove his ability in front of the fat man, and then leave the team he has played for more than two years with dignity.

But it was another central defender Cooper who was stimulated first, and he made contributions to the team with the help of a corner kick in the 15th minute.

The ball was thanks to Wood's brilliant header up ahead, and Cooper simply had to slam it into the net after a slap from the far end.

In the 70th minute of the game, Ali ended the game through his personal ability. After getting the ball in midfield, he passed the opponent's three players and broke into the penalty area.

Pierce, Austin and Cooper's central defense didn't give Cardiff much chance.In particular, Pierce cherishes this rare opportunity to start the game very much. He is like an iron tower on the field.

The excellent state even infected Austin, and the Jamaican also played a wonderful game, contributing three clearances, four steals and seven interceptions, which was an airtight wall in front of Leeds. wall.

利兹联在客场2比0战胜卡迪夫城后，十五轮后的战绩来到了8胜4平3负，获得了28个联赛积分，进24球，丢20球。

The team has many offensive points, and a total of 11 players scored goals.Among them, Wood scored six goals and is the team's top scorer.

Belotti, Mowat, Cook, Yesil, Morrison, Austin and Ali scored two goals for the team.

Coady, Byram and Cooper all contributed a goal for the team, and Leeds also accepted an own gift with a smile.

Returning to Yorkshire victorious, Fatty decided to relax at the Yorkdale's.

After sitting down for a while, I saw Owen walking in alone.

"Hi, Owen. Why didn't you come with Cindy?"

"Steve, I managed to get her to cling to her mom. I gotta have some private time."

"Haha, I understand."

"It was a good game, coach."

"That's also because you supported us forever."

Unexpectedly, Owen seemed a little shy when he heard this.

Fatty suddenly remembered his Matrix-style poster, which was too secondary and did not fit his current elegant and modest style.

"By the way, Owen. I want to ask you something."

"what's up?"

"That is, can you change your cheering posters?"

"Any questions?"

"It's not a problem, brother. Look at me carefully now, do you think there is anything different?"

Owen took a sip of beer, looked up and down suspiciously, and said cautiously: "Fater? Steve, you need to exercise more. Now you're fatter like a ball."

The fat man's face was full of black lines, and he began to yearn for the reservedness of the oriental people - he would not hit the smiling face with his hand.

"No, Owen! You've got the wrong focus. Look at my current attire, do you feel elegant and easy-going?"

Unexpectedly, Owen laughed directly and heartily, "Please, Steve. Your joke is a bit cold."

The laughter made the fat man want to throw the beer bottle in front of the glasses man's head.

"Owen, I'm not joking with you. Before I'm drunk, I tell you very seriously, change the poster to what I am now."

Owen showed a sad expression, "Steve, you have to know how much effort it takes for fans to make a poster, and the cost of changing to a larger poster is not cheap."

Fatty's teeth started to itch, "I'll pay for it."

"Deal, Steve. Let me have a drink first."

The fat man drank a glass of beer passively, and suddenly felt that he was cheated by this man in glasses who pretended to be harmless to humans and animals.

"Steve, don't look at me like that. Although I am the leader of the fan organization, some things cannot be decided by me alone. If you pay the money, the change of the poster can be made very fast. I Guaranteed, you will be able to see your brand new image appearing in the Levi stand at the next home game."

"Okay, I'll wait."

As Leeds' record further improved, Fatty's exposure increased.Now in order to transport Xia Tian to and from get off work, Fatty has to wrap himself like a rice dumpling.And in order not to affect Xia Tian's life, Fatty can only make an agreement with Xiao Xia to reduce the number of times they meet.

Fatty now thinks back to the aggrieved look in the last summer, and feels that he is really a villain.

On November 11, Leeds United played against Charlton (Charlton Athletic).

Sure enough, the fat man saw the brand-new poster of himself wearing glasses without lenses in the Levi stands before the game, and instantly felt much more pleasing to the eye.

The fat man gave Owen a lewd look complacently, and whistled happily.

Owen only felt nausea after receiving this look.

But nine or ten minutes later, Fatty's good mood disappeared.

This game allowed the fat man to remember the names of three people, one of which was J. Gumundsson.The Icelander scored twice in the game, and he alone upset Leeds' defense.

The other two names are Gomez (J. Gomez) and Pope (N. Pope). The two young people who are not yet Charlton's regular main force directly locked Leeds' attack line in the game.

Charlton took away the victory [-]-[-] away.

The consecutive home defeats made Fatty lose face.After the game, Fatty hurried back to the locker room, not daring to look up the whole time, for fear that he would see the disappointed expressions of Irving and Newton in the stands.

Four days later, Fatty's team will welcome the next opponent Blackpool (Blackpool) at their home court.During the three days of training before this, the fat man had been worried that he would be booed by the fans before the game.

Ushered in the anxiety of Cody's comeback, the fat man made another difficult choice and decided to withdraw Pierce from the main lineup.

After all, risking the team vice-Austin out of the starting lineup will increase the instability in the locker room.

Fatty was very fortunate that he was not booed by the fans before the game, and he was also very fortunate that his disciples did not let him continue to embarrass himself.Leeds United beat Blackpool 4-2 at home.

Leeds' three heroes showed their prowess, Alli scored two goals in the game, Mowat scored a wonderful free kick, and Cook helped the team with a long-range shot in the final stage of the game.

The fat man was finally able to go to the Levi stand to say goodbye with arrogance.Owen yelled from the stands, "Steve, you're lucky! If you lose this game again, I'm going to spit on your poster."

Fat Brother yelled like an adulterer caught in bed, and the smile froze on his face instantly.
