Chapter 107 Farewell to the Past Battle (Part 2)

August 9th is the day when England's new season leagues begin. Two days before that, Preston's entire team has arrived in Bradford, central England, to prepare for the first round of the new season.

Bradford ranked 13th in the League One last season, and is a team in the middle and lower reaches. Fighting with this team is also an opportunity for Preston to test the quality of his team. Bradford represents the strength of most mid-range teams in the League One. What kind of performance does it have when facing this team can almost determine what position Preston's strength can lie in this league.

"This game will be a good opportunity for us to test our strength. Our team is very young and there are not many players with experience in League One. I hope that in this game, we can find our position. As for the victory or defeat, of course we must try our best to win. Any point is very important to us."

Moyes spoke very humbly in an interview, but his words have a double meaning - find your own position? It depends on whether we strive for relegation or promotion. Any point is important? Just kidding, whether it is relegation or promotion, points will be important...

After entering the League One, Preston received a lot of attention. After all, if no one applauded the League Two, then the major media would pay more attention to the League One, and Tiger began to see the ubiquitous English journalists...

"Tiger, I remember the first time you played in the first team for Preston, when you lost to Bradford in the Qualification Cup. In that game, Robert Tiger made you suffer, and then you were silent for more than a year, until last season when you became the main player of Preston again... Now when you meet Bradford and Robert Tiger again, what do you think?"

When Tiger heard a reporter ask him this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Not many people know about my past, unless those who have watched that game are now paying attention to Preston's game - but who would specifically watch a qualifying cup competition participated by England's third- and fourth-tier teams...

Tiger glanced at the reporter holding the microphone and full of excitement, and asked back: "What kind of newspaper reporter are you?"

The short, fat middle-aged reporter with a few freckles on his face replied: "I am Kevin Clement, a reporter from the Sun. Please give me some advice in the future."

"Mr. Clement, I'm curious why you knew about this. After all, I probably couldn't even find the video of that game." Tiger continued to ask.

"Oh, I happened to watch that game, and... I have a good memory." Clement, a reporter from the Sun, replied proudly. He did watch the game three years ago, but at that time he was just an intern at the Sun. He could be said to have been sent to the Qualification Cup to report the news. He remembered Tiger's miserable appearance when facing Taylor in that game, because there are few Chinese mixed-race players on the English court, and this guy lost very badly...

Of course, Clement would not be stupid enough to say, "Yes, I remember so deeply when I saw you being abused in the game." But Tiger took the initiative to mention that scene - "Then, Mr. Clement, you must have a deep memory of the scene where I lost a miserable loss on the court in that game."

Clement nodded unconsciously. This was indeed the most memorable thing he remembered. A rookie who had just debuted suffered a devastating blow in the first official first-team game in his life, which really made people remember it deeply.

At this time, Clement felt a little uncomfortable - he was clearly interviewing Tiger, but Tiger asked three questions in turn - is this the person I interviewed or was I interviewed...

"I waited for three years and it was for this game. How miserable I was at that time, I would make my opponent miserable in this game." After asking three questions, Tiger finally gave his own answer, and this answer made Clement overjoyed!

What is the reporter want? It is a powerful enough material! Although Tiger and Taylor can only be considered unknown in the entire English football world, this time the experience is explosive enough - three years ago, the fledgling young player suffered a serious blow in his first official game in his life, and three years later, he issued a powerful challenge to his former opponent. Judging from the matter itself alone, it is an excellent gimmick!

Clement is not a famous reporter. If the hype is good this time, it will be an opportunity for him to turn the tables.

After returning to the newspaper office, the excited Clement immediately wrote a sleek article "From the English C to the English C, Revenge Three Years Later". In the article, he described in detail how Tiger lost to Taylor in the Qualification Cup three years ago. Then he relied on his own imagination to describe the image of a player who was not too late to take revenge for three years. At the end of the article, "Let's look forward to the challenge again in three years, what ability does Tiger have to fulfill his promise that he announced to make his opponent more miserable than himself!"

The editor-in-chief praised Clement's report and immediately left a conspicuous page for him to publish this article in the sports section. To say that Clement's ability to render is really good, he wrote the whole article into a revenge novel. With the influence of the Sun, Tiger immediately gained a certain reputation throughout England...

Of course, more voices are: "Tig Lee? Who is that?"

Soon, Robert Taylor also knew about this. To say that Taylor had almost forgotten the confrontation three years ago. Although he was not very famous in England, he was also a fierce midfielder in the English League One. If this type of defensive midfielder was not short of England, he would have left Bradford to transfer to the Premier League team. How could he remember the young midfielder who was ravaged by himself three years ago...

However, Clement's article was written incredibly detailed, with all the time, place and people. After thinking about it, Taylor really remembered that something happened...

However, in an interview, Taylor showed the arrogance that a famous player in the League One should have. He answered very simply: "What happened three years ago? I don't remember it. Maybe only losers will remember it so clearly... It's just that young players are prone to impulsiveness. People as mature as me will not do such things... Bradford's goal this season is to enter the Premier League. I will perform well in the first game, so that Preston knows that the League Two and League One are two different worlds."

He did not mention the word Tiger in the whole article, and the contempt of him could be seen by individuals.

A reporter who had a good thing passed on Taylor's words to Tiger, but Tiger didn't answer anything this time. He just sneered and said nothing - nothing is useful now, the challenge has been issued, and what we need to look at next is his performance on the court.

As long as he can perform well on the court, all doubts will naturally shut up. If he continues to be blocked by Taylor in the game, he may become the target of ridicule. Tiger has already considered this, but he still challenged the media without hesitation.

For Tiger, he had to defeat Taylor in order to say goodbye to the past. In the words of Chinese cultivation novels, Taylor is his inner demon. Only by removing this inner demon can he continue to move forward without any scruples!

It would be fine if he didn't meet Taylor and defeat him. Now that he has this opportunity, Tiger must defeat this opponent who once brought him infinite pain on the court to be worthy of himself!
