Chapter 61: One-person battle

Shortly after the opening, they were attacked by their opponents, which did not cause much shock to Peterborough. After all, they were not too afraid of losing the ball. For this team, losing the ball in the game is common, what is the loss of the ball? Just catch it back!

After re-telection, Peterborough immediately launched a more fierce attack. Two strikers ranked in the top five in the scorer list immediately began to make trouble in Preston's penalty area. Faced with the opponent's fierce attack that seemed to not care about his defense, although Preston was good at defending, he began to get a little confused under the opponent's almost crazy attack.

Moyes has experienced big scenes, so he naturally knows that this situation is very unfavorable to the defense side - this also strengthens his determination to transform the team and make the team better offensively - Peterborough is just a team with more distinctive offensiveness. The defensive system that former coach Peters spent nearly three years to build cannot withstand the opponent's attack. If he changes to a better team, how can he rely solely on defense?

Only by ensuring the existing defensive system and leveraging all offensive capabilities can Preston's prospects be promising.

However, Tiger's assist before gave him confidence. A front midfielder who can control the ball and break through the assist in the frontcourt plays a huge role in counterattacks and positional battles. However, Preston now takes time.

Although Moyes emphasized before the game that he should pay more attention to offense, the habits over the past two years are not something that can be changed by changing. When encountering the opponent's fierce attack, the first thing that the Preston players think of is to return to defense, which has almost become their instinct. Both forwards, including Nogan and Grant, have begun to participate in the defense.

Perhaps only one person thinks of counterattack at this time, that is Tiger.

Tiger hates defense very much. Firstly, his defense itself is very poor, and secondly, his personality likes attacking. Although it is limited to football fields, his personality has been almost wiped out in the past two years. However, after regaining confidence recently, he has regained his personality that only attacks and does not defend.

When the opponent's attack suppresses his own attack, he cannot provide enough support to himself in the backcourt, and his teammates are tired of defense - what should he do at this time?

Run, return to defense, catch the ball, control the ball, use your own movements to reduce the pressure on your teammates, reduce the number of attacks on the opponent, and give your teammates a chance to breathe!

In the 1990 World Cup, Argentina played against Brazil, which has the most powerful midfielder in the world. The midfield led by Maradona completely lost power in the face of the opponent's strong overall strength. How did Maradona do it at that time?

Running, running constantly, this short figure was in all corners of the court. He kept receiving the ball, breaking through, passing the ball, and being knocked down. In this process, he helped the team withstand the strong offensive of the Brazilian national team, gained a chance to breathe, and successfully waited for the opportunity to counterattack!

Although I am far less outstanding than Maradona now, Peterborough is not the breathtakingly powerful Brazilian national team!

It seems that the method Maradona used can also be used.

Maybe I don’t have the most appropriate judgment like Maradona, but it will always be helpful if I do it.

Thinking of this, Tiger began his own battle.

He ran to his backcourt, and Moyes was stunned when he saw him running back from a distance - now both forwards have returned to defense, Tiger is the only fulcrum in the frontcourt. If he comes back, how can he launch a counterattack?

In a daze, Moyes relaxed his defense against Williams, and the striker got the ball. Williams immediately turned around and then took a shot!

Mims saved the ball and the ball fell to the feet of right back Spanore. He struggled to control the ball, not knowing what to do.

When he was about to kick the ball into the frontcourt with a big foot and breathe before talking, he heard Tiger's shout: "Here!"

Tiger's figure came into Spanore's eyes. Before he could think about it, Spanore immediately raised his foot and passed the ball over.

Tiger stopped the ball at his feet and did not rush to pass the ball forward - no one was in front of him anyway. As soon as he took the ball, he turned around when two opponents attacked him.

The left foot is the axis, and the right foot is constantly twitching back and forth around the ball, making the opponent's two players dazzled and did not dare to make a foot easily, for fear that it would be a free kick when it was poked up. Tiger kept controlling the ball until someone came up to receive it before passing the ball out. Grant, who was receiving the ball forcibly dribbled the ball forward, and was cut off by the opponent's defender.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Preston's formation was pressing up a little, and Peterborough began to organize an attack again.

"This guy is so sticky! Don't break through when it's time..." Taylor muttered.

At this time, no one paid attention to him. Peterborough attacked for a while and pressed Preston's defense back. However, during this period, Preston had reorganized the complete defense. Preston's defense was quite outstanding. Although Peterborough's attack was fierce, most of the attacks were initiated by two forwards and Howton on the flank. Now the two forwards were followed by two Preston's central defenders. Barrett made a place on the right to help defend Howton. Brian swept the ball at the front of the penalty area. Peterborough's attack was lively, but rarely did he get into Preston's penalty area.

Of course, even the teams that are good at defense in the top league rarely make mistakes without making mistakes when the opponent suppresses the offense. Of course, Preston is no exception. However, after Tiger kept retreating to get the ball, this situation began to slowly reverse.

Peterborough's pass was cut off by Bryson at the front of the penalty area. There were not many such interceptions, but Peterborough pressed fiercely in the frontcourt before. After intercepting the ball, he could only choose to rush to open his big foot, otherwise the opponent would intercept the ball. But now it's different, Tiger retreated.

He reached out and asked for it. Bryson passed the ball. After receiving the ball, Tiger walked towards the side. It was not until three opponents hit him and accidentally lost the ball. Peterborough launched the attack again.

"Oh, oh, I've lost the ball again. I can obviously fight back..." Taylor began to sigh again.

In Taylor's sigh, Tiger kept receiving the ball, protecting the ball, passing the ball, being cut off, receiving the ball again, passing the ball, protecting the ball... However, after this series of actions, everyone was surprised to find that although Peterborough still had an advantage, they could no longer suppress Preston so that they could no longer move. Preston's defense line was expanding, and even began to slowly suppress Peterborough!

"What's going on?" Taylor and the commentator stared at each other. Preston's defense did not change, and Peterborough's offense did not change. It took less than twenty minutes of the game and there would not be much physical decline. Why did the overall situation change drastically?
