Chapter 52: With Tiger Li as the core

Drake Shaw is not very optimistic about Tiger, but Moyes is extremely optimistic about Tiger. The reason is very simple. He did not only watch Tiger's performance in the half-time game. On the contrary, he has been paying attention to Tiger for more than a month. Tiger has been improving almost every day for more than a month. At the same time, the various abilities he showed, such as organization, passing, and breakthrough skills, are not available to any Preston player. Even in England, players of his type are rare!

Perhaps this kind of skilled player is out of place among the Premier League giants, but if a mid- and downstream team can tailor a set of tactics for him and allow him to fully play, he may be able to create some miracles!

So the first thing he did after taking office was not to buy a defender who could replace him, but to renew his contract with Tiger.

At this time, Tiger had not thought too much about his future. He just wanted to finish the season's game well and get a new contract so that he could complete the most basic tasks, get rewards and save his life. So when Moyes put the contract in front of him, Tiger just looked at the details and signed his name very happily.

Of course, players of his level do not have their own agent, so they can take effect as long as they sign the contract themselves. Tiger is not dissatisfied with this contract. His weekly salary was only 120 pounds, but now it is nearly eight times more. At the same time, if you play in the first team, you will also have various incomes. Compared to before, it is already one in the sky and one in the ground.

After signing the contract, Tiger also received a signing fee of 4,000 pounds. Although it was not much, it was enough for Tiger to satisfy it.

What makes him headache now is not whether he can play the main player. Obtaining this contract basically means that he can play the main player in the team, but he has encountered trouble again in the training in the main god space. If the difficulty of two-on-two is much higher than that of one-on-one, then the difficulty of three-on-three is doubled compared to the difficulty of two-on-two. After all, he is surrounded by two teammates who don’t help much in offense, but he is facing three extremely fierce midfielders. He has not been able to complete the task in the past two days of training and confrontation and has lost the opportunity to play.

With one more teammate, his mission doubled. Thinking about the fact that he might have to add more teammates and more teammates in the future, Tiger felt that his future was extremely dark and extremely miserable.

Fortunately, no matter how bad the game in the main god space was, it would not have much impact. If the task could not be completed, it would be just that it would not be rewarded and there would be no loss. On the contrary, it was a good opportunity to exercise. However, Tiger was a little depressed. After performing well in reality, his defeat in the main god space made him feel a little unhappy.

In fact, this kind of three-on-three confrontation should be easier and more skillful. One-on-one can only fight hard, and three-on-three can mobilize teammates to attack. The key is that the opponent has almost no gaps. Often when Tiger dribbles the ball to the end of the way, he can't find the route to pass the ball, and it's fleeting if he finds it.

Reaction and grasping the timing, these things are not something that can be achieved overnight. In that narrow range, there is no room for teammates to run out of space. They must pass the most suitable pass in the most suitable time, and at the same time, they must respond in time. All this makes Tiger seem to see a new world again.

However, the feeling of almost being cut off every pass made Tiger feel very painful. In the past few days, he even thought about how to break through the opponent's defense through passing and running positions in this situation. So much so that when signing the contract, Tiger still looked distracted, which made Moyes think he was dissatisfied with the contract.

Moyes also knew that a weekly salary of 1,000 pounds was not too much. The previous major midfielders even had two midfielders who received salary of about 1,500 pounds. As an offensive player, Tiger did get a little less. He could only keep comforting Tiger and told him that it was just the beginning. As long as he performed well in the future, a better contract was in front of him.

Tiger nodded repeatedly, Moyes was very satisfied with this - this young player does not seem to be the kind of greedy person. His fighting spirit and desire to win seem to be only displayed on the court, and players with such personality can often become great stars.

In fact, what Moyes said, Tiger didn't listen to it at all. All he was thinking about now was how to pass the most beautiful ball at the most suitable time under the attack of three fierce defensive midfielders. Short passes are difficult, but maybe long passes will be very effective? Especially the sharp long passes that are close to the ground. Since training changed from one-on-one to two people, the ball will not be considered a failure after one meter away from the foot, but there are still rules for offside.

If you have teammates who are in control of the ball, and if the opponent forms a siege, it seems that it should be more effective...

Tiger was thinking while leaving the head coach's office. Drake Shaw happened to walk in and saw the young player who had just renewed his contract walking out of the door. He was about to smile at him with a reserved smile, but found that Tiger didn't seem to see him, and just walked past him with no eyes, in a daze...

The Chairman's smile was condensed on his face, thinking that this young man would not be blind or super myopic...

Shaking his head, as the chairman of the club, Drake Shaw still has this kind of demeanor. He did not take this matter to heart, but walked into the office and then smiled on his face: "David, be ready to attend the press conference. As the head coach, I always have to talk about something."

Moyes nodded and stood up.

"Mr. David Moyes, will you take any measures after taking office? Preston's current performance is not good. Do you need to sign a player to strengthen your strength?" A reporter asked in the audience.

"We won't randomly and aimlessly sign, and I won't sign until we can't find a better player than the current players." Moyes shook his head: "Our players are excellent, but there are some problems before. Now what I have to do is to let them play to their own level."

"So, how are you going to do it?" the reporter continued to ask.

"Set up a new core and focus more on offense in the next game, which is what I need to do." Moyes answered simply.

"But Preston has been playing defensively counterattack for three years..."

"That's because we lack a good organizer. Fortunately, there is such a person on our team now." Moyes smiled and said loudly: "Tiger Lee, he has all the factors that are the core of the midfield. Next, I will attack around him and create a more energetic Preston!"

Tiger Lee?
