Legendary godfather of green grass

Deepdale Stadium, Pireston, 2012 August 8.

What is held here today is the second round of the 2012-2013 English League Cup. The home team Preston played against Crystal Palace at home.

To be honest, there should be no suspense in this game.

Preston is currently in the third tier of England. There are currently three rounds of matches in League One. Preston has 2 draws, 1 loss, 2 points, 1 goal and 2 goals conceded, ranking 20th in League One. It can be said that it is a relegation team in the League One. Naturally, this strength is not very strong.

In fact, Preston was also very famous at the beginning. They were the founding members of the "Football League". They won the league championship in the first top league, and won the FA Cup and became the double champion.

But after that, they have been sinking, and even now they have never played in the Premier League.

In recent years, they have sunk into the League One.

This season's results in League One are also very unsatisfactory, and they are one of the favorites for relegation.

Judging from the current league progress, Preston is really not good at offense, nor at defense.At present, they have only scored one goal in three rounds. This attack power is really not good.

How could such a team win the Crystal Palace, which is currently ranked second in the English Championship and scored 8 goals in three rounds?

However, Preston manager Simon Grayson is confident.

Before the game, he uttered bold words that his team will definitely beat Crystal Palace.In his words: "Chinese people know shit about football, and it's easy for us Preston to beat them!"

I don't know where the confidence of the England coach comes from, or is it that the British are generally so proud and look down on foreigners?

At this time, Grayson in sportswear was very confident standing on the sidelines.

As the host, he had no intention of welcoming Tong Yi at all, and even pretended not to see Tong Yi, or in other words, he never saw Tong Yi in his eyes.Naturally, Tong Yi's extended right hand was also ignored by Grayson.

Sure enough, this Grayson was really too arrogant.

Both the commentator Mortensen and the guest commentator Shearer couldn't stand it anymore, and felt that Grayson was a bit too much.

Tong Yi smiled lightly, without feeling embarrassed, withdrew his right hand and touched his nose, then turned and left.

Back in front of his coaching bench, Tong Yi said coldly to the team captain Speroni: "Tell my players not to hold back, and score as many goals as they can. After the game, we Don't want to see a Prestonian put a smile on his face, understand?"

Speroni was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately nodded his head!

It was the first time he saw Tong Yi like this.

hiss!

It seems that Preston is going to be finished today, how did you provoke this big devil?

Speroni immediately walked into the stadium and conveyed Tong Yi's latest instructions to all the players in the stadium. The players in Crystal Palace were also taken aback for a moment, and then they all became serious. There was no laughter before.

Crystal Palace people must be serious!

The captain of Crystal Palace is actually Patrick McCarthy, but he is still recovering from a serious groin injury, so the vice-captain Speroni became the captain of Crystal Palace.

Looking at the expressions of the Crystal Palace players in the stadium, Preston's assistant coach Green S.Noting came to Grayson's side with a worried face, and said weakly: "Is it not good for us to provoke him with contempt?"

Si.Nordin has no prejudice against the Chinese, because he served as the head coach of the reserve team at Charlton Athletic from 2000 to 2006, and he led the team to two reserve team league championships in 2004 and 2005.

But Charlton Athletic is starting to pay attention to Huaxia Zheng, Si.Nuoding also provided a lot of opinions, and he is also very optimistic about Huaxia Zheng.Although, when Huaxia Zheng joined Charlton Athletic, he had already left Charlton to coach Southampton's first team, but later he often paid attention to Huaxia Zheng's performance.

Therefore, he has no prejudice against Chinese people.

Grayson immediately said: "So what if you irritate him? A Chinese man knows nothing about football, so why worry about it? Don't worry, we will win this game with Preston!"

Hey!

Si.Nordin also sighed, he didn't know where Grayson's self-confidence came from?

Crystal Palace is the second-ranked team in the British Championship and the only team to maintain a complete victory in the British Championship this season.How could our relegation team in League One go against Crystal Palace?Where does your confidence come from?

And s.Nordin didn't just make judgments from the rankings, he had studied the techniques and tactics of this Crystal Palace team.Now this Crystal Palace team is playing and blocking all the football that is completely different from the English Championship and League One teams. What's more, this set of tactics is very powerful, and it somewhat restrains teams with rough skills at their feet.

A team with poor skills at their feet will have many problems with passing and stopping the ball.

If they are under high pressure, they will make more passing mistakes.

Did you not see the first round of the English League Cup this season?The Exeter City team was completely manipulated because of this.

Si.Nordin is also a little worried now.

Because he knows very well that the skills of their Preston players are also very rough.

In this game, they are very suspenseful!

If you go to provoke Tong Yi again at this time, isn't this lighting a lantern in the latrine to seek death?

In the media press box in the stands, Harris stared at Mane in the stadium, his face was full of contempt and sneer, Tong Yi, a soft-hearted man, dared to let Mane start now, are you courting death or what?

Harris glanced at Webster, and then said contemptuously: "You should take a good look at this game, are you and Mane an idiot?"

Webster raised his eyebrows slightly, but said nothing.

Harris smugly smiled and said: "This Mane is a shit genius, and Tong Yi is also a shit super Bole, you are all deceived by him!"

Webster ignored it!

In his opinion, it should be easy for Crystal Palace to win this game.

Preston's strength is indeed not strong.

beep!

Soon the referee of the game blew the whistle to start the game. At the start of the game, Preston directly pressed out to attack, as if he wanted to take advantage of the advantage of the home court and give the Crystal Palace a head start. Get off your horse.

But it didn't take long for the Prestonians to realize something was wrong.

It was difficult for them to attack the hinterland of Crystal Palace's penalty area, and they were quickly intercepted by the highly oppressed Crystal Palace.

Sure enough, the roughness of their feet was too obvious.

It is difficult for them to stop the football precisely at the most comfortable position around them. Either the stop is large or the position is uncomfortable. They need to make redundant movements to adjust the football to control the football, and then make the next step. .

And the oppression intensity of the Crystal Palace people is very strong, and it comes very quickly.

Under such high pressure, the Preston people made more and more mistakes in passing and receiving, which easily intercepted the Crystal Palace people.

After stealing the ball, the Crystal Palace people immediately launched a quick counterattack.

The Crystal Palace counterattacked very quickly, often passing the ball directly into Preston's penalty area with two or three passes, and then completed the shot.

This made Grayson dumbfounded!

How is this possible?

He was completely intimidated by the strength shown by the Crystal Palace team, which was beyond his imagination.

Si.Nuo Ding was very speechless, telling you not to provoke others before the game, you have to provoke them, is this all right?

Harris' face in the stands is also very ugly!

The team led by Tong Yi, who was ridiculed by him, showed such strength, it really hit him in the face, his face was almost swollen.The only psychological consolation for Harris now is that Mane is indeed an idiot, and he has not performed much under such an advantage, which confirms that Mane is an idiot.

Harris is still a little bit proud.

Tong Yi, so what if you led Crystal Palace to win?You still lose!This guy Mane is the stain of your life, your biggest weakness up to now!

Tong Yi, your personality has collapsed!

Snapped!

A loud slap slapped Harris hard in the face, knocking him into a daze!

Goal!

That idiot Mane, who was ridiculed by his various taunts and jokes, scored a goal!

Mane's goal pierced into Harris' heart like a sharp dagger, causing Harris to turn pale instantly and his body tremble like chaff.

Harris' face was very ugly, because he saw pity in Webster's face and eyes!

Damn, when will I Harris need your mercy?

Do I, Harris, look so pitiful?

Does my great Harris need your pity?

On the court, Mane was very excited. He ran quickly to avoid the rushing teammates, and then rushed directly into Tong Yi's arms, hugged Tong Yi tightly, and thanked him very excitedly: "Thank you, boss Thank you for your trust, thank you thank you!"

Tong Yi hugged Mane tightly and said: "Good job Sadio, just kick like this!"

Mane's goal just now is very shocking.

Because Mane's forward speed is really too fast, Preston's defensive players can't keep up with him at all.And Preston's two central defenders, Chris Robertson and Paul Huntington, were like two wooden stakes in front of Mane, and they were passed by the dexterous Mane very easily.

Both Robertson and Huntington are tall players. Both of them are 191cm tall. They are really like wooden stakes in front of the very dexterous Mane.

Moreover, Mane's ability to continuously change directions in a small area is also very outstanding. Under high-speed conditions, the continuous smashing ball easily passed the two men, and then faced Preston's goalkeeper Thorsten Stucker. Mann pushed with ease, slapped the opponent's wicket and sent the football into Preston's goal.

This ball looks really easy!

But anyone who really understands football knows that it is not easy!

If it weren't for the little guy Mane's fast enough speed, flexible body, and excellent ability to change directions and break through at high speeds, he might not be able to score goals.

Although, this is the first goal scored by Mane!

However, anyone who understands football can see Mane's talents and characteristics from this goal.

At this moment, Webster looked at the bewildered Harris, and he really felt a little distressed.

Hey, why did you question Mane?

Since Tong Yi, a super bole, valued Mane, there must be something different about him in this Mane, and he must have some talent.

I said you still don't believe it.

What now?

Harris saw Webster's expression, and his heart was hurt even more. He immediately said: "It's a fluke! It's just a fluke! It doesn't mean anything, Mane is an idiot! He can't score again, absolutely impossible!"
