Football: Rejected by the national team, I flew to England

Chapter 031

Even fans in England can’t help but think so.

Darren was too bold to let a child who was only seventeen years old be the first captain of the team.

Even if Peterborough is just a relegation team that has just risen to the Championship.

It is not certain that it will not be possible to successfully relegate in the future.

But that’s also a Championship team.

Seriously, the competitiveness of the second division of the Championship is not less competitive than those of the top leagues in all but the five major leagues.

Lin Xu played a good game.

Just gave Darren so much courage?

But think about it.

Didn’t Southgate let the assistant coach watch Lin Xu’s game and call Lin Xu into the national team.

These two managers.

And really…

One is bigger than the other playing.

Even the Peterborough fans, who have always trusted Darren, didn’t know for a moment whether to praise Darren’s decisive decision-making and adventurous spirit, or to say that Darren was a little too pro-starter.

However, the players of Petersburg are obviously very convinced by Lin Xu.

Everyone on the field saw Lin Xu being replaced on the field.

They all breathed a sigh of relief.

The head has finally changed!

Then the spirit of everyone rose.

Lin Xu came up.

It’s time for them to fight back!

What is one goal behind.

Don’t say 1:0.

As long as Lin Xu is present, even if they lose five goals, they are confident that they can recover it.

This is the confidence that Lin Xu gave them.

It is also the reason why all of them agree that Darren made Lin Xu the captain.

Although Lin Xu is the youngest.

But from the last game, Lin Xu has given them a feeling that as long as he is present, they will definitely win.

Everyone in Petersburg rubbed their hands.

In an instant, it became imposing.

It doesn’t look like the side that is trailing away from home.

It’s like feeling like being ahead of their own home turf.

The Coventry team on the opposite side was stunned.

One by one, the home team players couldn’t help but look up at the big screen at Coventry Stadium.

1:0。

That’s right.

Home in front.

They’re ahead.

Why are these people excited as if it was them Coventry City who were going to lose?

When researching opponents before matches.

Coventry team actually did not miss Lin Xu, the MVP who played well in the last round of the league, and even made special tactical arrangements for him.

But as soon as Lin Xu did not start at the beginning of this game, the vigilance of the home team was reduced.

Even if Lin Xu is replaced now.

The players were also a little unimpressed.

They are ahead.

Lin Xu just came up this time, what use can it be?

Be.

Lin Xu was very good when he played Birmingham last time.

But they are not Birmingham.

Coventry City is now in the top six of the league standings, not comparable to Birmingham.

Their defensive level is also far better than Birmingham’s.

Lin Xu wanted to replicate the super-god play when he played Birmingham on them, which was simply impossible.

Coventry players are confident.

They will let Petersburg and Lin Xu understand.

Peterborough was able to reverse Birmingham only because Birmingham was too hot.

They Coventry will definitely not be the backdrop to Petersburg like Birmingham.

Coach Mark Robbins only reminded players to pay attention to defending Lin Xu.

Apparently.

The Coventry manager did not approve of Darren’s casual handover of the captain’s armband to a child under the age of eighteen.

In particular, they were the subjects tested.

This is even more unpleasant.

“After Lin Xu came on the field, the pace of Peterborough United’s attack has obviously accelerated.”

Ned explained the Petersburg and Birmingham match in the last game and is now familiar with the way Petersburg plays.

“You can see that Cornell has thrown more balls into the front court.”

“In the last match between Petersburg and Birmingham, Cornell’s hand throws were often the starting point of Petersburg’s attack, and as far as I know, the Petersburg second goalkeeper also deliberately increased the practice of hand throws in the training after the game.”

“This hand-tossing tactic should become a fixed tactic in Petersburg in the future.”

‘But Coventry City and Birmingham don’t defend the same way.’

Coventry City were able to secure relegation in their second year of promotion to the Championship and then move to the top of the Championship table the following season, relying on their solid backline.

Their backcourt is almost always big and tall.

Although it is a three-centre-back system, the central midfield can always achieve effective connection.

Coventry City also does not practice people-to-people tactics like Birmingham.

Instead, he kept his position.

As long as Petersburg has someone with the ball into the box.

They will have multiple people coming forward at the same time to help with the defense.

The defense is very tight.

Peterborough United’s ball was a little penetrating the defense for a while.

Even with a high ball, Coventry City can rely on the height of the player to control the ball first.

Lin Xu is useless even if he has a small penalty area full-level shooting card in the front court.

The ball simply couldn’t reach him.

But.

He doesn’t just have this trump card.

“Peterborough United possession of the ball.”

‘Once again, the midfield organised the attack.

“Knight and Hamilton worked together in the middle and the ball went into the box. However, he was still unable to get past Coventry City’s defence and was devastated off the touchline by left-back Hyam. ”

“It’s a pity.”

“The game is already in the 79th minute.”

“Although Lin Xu once ran out of space in the front court, it was difficult to pass the ball in the midfield.”

‘Coventry City did a really good defensive job.

“The tactics of playing Birmingham did not work very well with Coventry City, and there was not much time left for Petersburg.”

It had been almost seventy minutes when Lin Xu came off the bench.

After he came on, Petersburg’s offensive tempo increased.

But it never threatened Coventry’s goal.

Watch the time pass by minute by minute.

The narrator habitually said this sentence.

“Time is running out for Petersburg.”

Subsequently.
