Football nukes: a pound buys a club

In the two games before New Year's Day, Bury won 2014-[-] and [-]-[-] economically at Scunthorpe and Bristol City respectively, ending [-] with a streak of victories.

And with second-placed Preston unexpectedly losing, Bury's lead extended to [-] points.

With the arrival of 2015, the winter transfer window has officially kicked off.

As always, Bury has received many requests to buy.

Zhang Chong refused all of them. The players in his hands are treasures now, and he will not sell them unless he has to.

The contracts of veterans Mills and Proctor expire in half a year, and Zhang Chong has already told them that they will not renew their contracts, and they can contact their favorite teams by themselves.

As cruel as it is, the team has no place for them now.

And captain Suarez's contract has only half a year left, but Zhang Chong offered to renew his contract.He needs his prestige in the locker room to intimidate these youngsters.

But Suarez refused to renew the contract.

He told Zhang Chong that he knew it would be difficult for him to get enough playing time, so for the sake of his future career, he still decided to find a club that could meet his playing time.

Although Zhang Chong was very reluctant, he also respected his ideas.

And next, the team will usher in the most difficult stage in the devil's schedule.

Five consecutive away games.

On January 1, the team ushered in the next opponent in the FA Cup, Skelmosdale United.

This is a semi-professional team, and the strength gap with Bury is still very large.

Zhang Chong sent a rotation player to play, and the three veterans were also on the field.

They know that their days in the team will be lost every day, so this game is extremely desperate.

The players of Skelmosdale United are a little depressed, why do you three old fritters fight so hard?

Now it's all right, mobilize your teammates, isn't it us who will suffer this time?

They are already stronger than us, but they are still working so hard, how can we play?

Thus, a one-sided game was born.

Five to zero, simply and neatly won the opponent.

The second game, on January 1, was away to Millwall.

The team brought up the main players who had rested for a game, and fought with them, and finally won [-]-[-].

However, in this game, Krause suffered a calf contusion and needed to be sidelined for a week.

This has also become a major hidden danger for the team.

The third game, January 1, away to Sheffield United.

Now it ranks third in the standings, one point behind No.2 Preston, and it is also eyeing the promotion place.

This is a tough battle, and from the perspective of promotion places, it is equivalent to a six-point battle.

The competition was also extremely fierce. The two sides started hand-to-hand combat at the beginning, and the physical confrontation was extremely fierce.

But Kanter was off with a groin strain in the No. 305 minute of the first half, which made Bury's midfield immediately lose ground, and Sheffield United also took the opportunity to organize several quite threatening attacks.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Zhang Chong quickly changed his style of play and made a long pass across the half without competing with his opponent for control of the midfield.

Then the game turned into a poke mode.

No.405 minutes, Antoine Hill opened the scoring for Bury.

But Sheffield United scored two goals in the second half to overtake the score.

However, Bury also equalized the score in the No.708 minute by Bowen.

In the end, the score was locked at two to two, with both sides scoring one point.

While the result is acceptable, it will be a huge loss for Bury that Kante will be sidelined for three weeks.

Affected by this, in the next game against Stevenage on January 1, Bury still did not win, and the two sides fought one to one.

In this game, both sides played very dull, especially Bury. Their entire team was not in a state of excitement, so it was difficult for them to perform at their own level in the face of opponents who were obviously weaker than themselves.

The successive away games have made the players exhausted, and they have been a little depressed because they have not been able to see their families for a long time.

Zhang Chong knows that this is the most hurtful part of consecutive away games.

But he has no good way to do this, after all, players are human beings, not machines.He can boost morale, but he can't cut off the negative emotions in his heart.

Fortunately, the road trip is coming to an end, and the last opponent is the old enemy, Notts County!

The Notts County manager first cost Bury last season with savage fouls.

In this season's home game, Zhang Chong made them suffer by retaliation.

Now that he is at Notts County's home court again, Zhang Chong felt that this game would be very difficult to play, so he sent three veterans up again, preparing to fight against them with fire.

Sure enough, the match soon turned into an amateur fight exchange meeting.

Both sides were very good in this battle, and each received four yellow cards in less than 10 minutes.

Before the end of the first half, Proctor had a conflict with the opponent's player, the limit was exchanged for one, and he was sent off.

The chaotic rhythm remained in the second half, and the game was also very fragmented. In the end, the two teams drew [-]-[-], with [-]-[-] red cards, and Bury lost [-]-[-] due to yellow cards.

The number of red and yellow cards in this game also reached an astonishing [-] yellow and two red cards, which can be said to be a model of civilized games.

And this game also cost Bury a painful price. Many main players will be suspended for accumulating yellow cards in the next game.

When the head coaches of both sides shook hands, they could see the anger in each other's eyes.

Bury players were booed strongly by the home fans when they left the field, and there were even many insults.

What's even more exaggerated is that Bury's team bus was attacked by fans of the home team after the game, and a piece of glass was smashed into a spider web, which almost hurt Mendy sitting there!

If the police hadn't arrived in time, they wouldn't have been able to leave at all!

There are no gentlemen in English football, only hooligans.

But Zhang Chong is not a person who suffers from being dumb. He immediately asked Weller to file a complaint with the FA about the smashing of the team bus.

In this way, Bury has drawn the last three games of the five consecutive games, and the points lead has been reduced to ten points.

Bain, who hadn't seen him for a long time, jumped out again: "Three consecutive draws! Bury's decline has been revealed! This shows that Zhang Chong has exhausted his talents and his tactics have been thoroughly studied! It can be expected that in the next game, Bury There will be a crash!"

Zhang Chong laughed angrily at this persistent guy.

But he is too lazy to fight back, the most important thing for him now is to rest!

After rushing back to Bury, Zhang Chong gave the team a day off.

Although he would like to let the players rest for a few days, the tight schedule does not allow them much respite.

Three days after Notts County, they host Milton Keynes!
