Chapter 53 Prejudice
"Tig Lee? Who is that?"
The day after the Preston Club held a press conference, the sports column headline of the Preston Morning News, the largest local newspaper in Preston, posted such a large title.
Preston's most famous football reporter and Preston's most loyal and famous fan, senior sports commentator Steve Taylor commented in his usual sharp tone: "Our recent results are very bad, but the problem is not the former head coach Gary Peters alone! It is the unimprovement and short-sightedness of the entire club management that makes us clearly possible to achieve better results but are deeply trapped in the relegation zone now! That's right, the team's performance is not good, and the head coach is the best scapegoat. Peters resigns and will also have some ideas for the current downturn team.
Exciting... But we obviously have a better choice of head coach, but the club management chose an inexperienced player to serve as head coach! I have no objection to David Moyes. He is the captain of Preston and the best player. However, a good player may not be able to become a good head coach. Mr. Moyes has been studying with Peters for a long time. Maybe he will become an extremely outstanding head coach in the future. But now Preston does not have the capital to let Moyes squander, nor does it have time to let Moyes grow slowly!"
"We can't talk about these, because we don't know what kind of performance Mr. Moyes will perform in the coaching process. Although perhaps Preston's management chose him just because it saves money and we shouldn't make a decision too early, what did Mr. Moyes say at the press conference? Although our club management is known for being stingy and stingy, a new head coach has the right to ask for some transfer funds and the board of directors will appear more generous than usual, but Moyes did not seize this opportunity and announced that there would be no signings, which proves that he did not have the courage to ask for anything from the club at all.
Is it! What makes people even more funny is that he actually announced that he would make a young player who is twenty-one-year-old with only 45 minutes of playing this season the core of offense! Tiger Lee did perform very well after he came on the bench in the last round of the league, but if he was really so outstanding, he would not have been in the reserve team at the age of twenty-one! With his performance in the last game, it might be reasonable to be the main player, but it would be too vague to attack around him! If Preston is now in the middle of the game, he might be able to pay a part of the results to pave the way for the future, but Preston now cannot pay such a price!"
Steve Taylor is worthy of being the most famous local savage and famous speaker in Preston. In just over a thousand words, the Preston club has scolded all the top to bottom. From management to the new head coach Moyes, from Moyes to the previously unknown Tiger Lee, none of them could escape his savage attack. In fact, his main spearhead was still on Preston's management. Moyes and Tiger were just suffering from unrestrained disasters. If Moyes had not announced that he would not buy people casually and announced that he would build a new offensive tactic around Tiger Lee, Taylor's spearhead would not have been on both of them.
For Moyes and Tiger, Tiger is questioning their strength, while for Preston, Taylor is venting his grievances as a Preston fan over the past year!
It is precisely for this reason that most of the Preston fans agree with Taylor's article in extreme and sharp tone. Of course, they agree with Taylor's view of Preston, but their approach puts extra pressure on Moyes and Tiger.
When Moyes held a press conference, Tiger was undergoing three-on-three training in the main god space.
Now he has vaguely grasped the trick of how to pass this kind of test, that is, the accuracy of passing and the judgment of the situation. No matter how tight the opponent's three players defend, they always have gaps and always have routes. What he has to do now is how to grasp this route and trick.
He dribbled the ball and attacked, Barrett protected behind him, and Milton was around him to respond. This was the way of training. This method could exert the greatest ability of the three people. Although there was no communication, Tiger did not need to communicate. As long as he wanted, Barrett and Milton around him would do it according to his ideas.
There are no such good conditions in reality. At least in reality, Milton will never do it according to his instructions.
Tiger brought the ball, and two opponents hit him, while the other player was making up for the position - being hit by two well-defended midfielders. Tiger struggled to carry the ball, hoping to find the route to pass.
Tiger thought to himself that he would definitely find the route to pass the ball.
When playing for the reserve team, the opponent was not a living person in his eyes, but countless backgrounds. He could find a clear pass route in the background. In the last League Two game, the route was not so clear, but most of the time, he was still able to find a suitable route from a complex background to pass the ball.
However, at this time, he could not see the route. Sometimes he could see Milton in the siege of the opponent's players, but it was fleeting. When he was about to pass the ball, he found that the route was blocked.
He moved left, stepped on the ball, turned around, and then pulled the ball from behind his support foot and turned around. Tiger did a very good job of getting rid of it in the same place, and he was very satisfied with it.
At this time, a defensive player had been blocked by him, and another defensive player could no longer block his sight. At this time, he saw Milton from afar that had inserted from the back of the right, if a diagonal pass was made...
Tiger raised his foot and passed the diagonally!
The ball suddenly flew to Tiger's right front, but Milton was stuck in the inside by the last defensive player. Milton's sprinting speed was about the same as the opponent. When the pass was about to fall under Milton's feet, the opponent broke the foot and failed.
"Damn it! It's a little worse!"
Tiger waved his hand violently, then stood there thinking with his lip biting.
Training is mastered by him, and he can start whenever he wants to start, so after every failure, he will stop and consider what links he has not done the best.
"It's still not enough to grasp the timing of the pass." Tiger recalled the scene just now. At the moment of passing the ball, Milton had just started to start, and was still close to one meter away from the opponent's last defensive back. When his ball was passed, the opponent's defender began to focus on Milton. This meter distance was enough for the opponent to react and intercept the ball.
If you can pass the ball a little late - the three opponents are all focused on themselves, and when Milton is almost parallel with the last defender, then when the last defender reacts, Milton can no longer stop Milton from receiving the ball.
However, if the ball is passed a little later, the opponent's second defensive player will entangle him. Will there be a chance to pass the ball at that time?
The previous ball control should also seize the right opportunity! Tiger clasped his fists tightly.
Chapter completed!
