Chapter 71 Desire and Ambition

In the 71st minute of the game, Tiger was replaced by Moyes, and McLaren was replaced at the same time as him. However, Tiger was replaced as a hero, and McLaren was a shameful loser.

When the two left the court, the score was 3-1, with the home team in front. Tiger completed his second assist shortly after the start of the second half, helping Brian score at a small angle. This assist was completed by Tiger through a forward insertion.

Although he was so tired that he could not walk when he ended up, McLaren's eyes were like fire-blowing, staring at Tiger's back, his heart full of bitterness.

Except for the first ten minutes, Tiger didn't get the ball, he couldn't stop the opponent. Tiger got the ball, but he still couldn't stop the opponent. Tiger couldn't stop the ball, and Tiger broke through, but he still couldn't stop him. Later, his physical fitness seemed to be consumed faster than Tiger. In short, this game was a complete failure for the young McLaren.

Tiger was also very tired when he left the game. Although he had more positions in the back and had fewer breakthroughs in this game, he had no running at all. At the same time, it was more difficult and more energy-consuming to play accurately long passes than short passes.

However, as the winner, Tiger feels much better.

Facing the thunderous applause in the stands, Tiger raised his hands high and applauded the stands. He is now becoming more and more accustomed to this feeling. On the court, he spread his sweat and hard work, and gained applause and honor - this kind of life is the life of a professional player!

"Son, here!"

A familiar shout reached Tiger's ears, he looked up at the stands, and then saw his father among a group of enthusiastic fans.

"Haha!" Tiger waved to the stands excitedly. Just as he was about to say something, Old Li turned his head excitedly and said to several fans around him: "How is it? I said he is my son, why would I lie!"

Tiger: "…"

In the end, Preston beat Luton three-to-one at home, and basically got rid of the relegation zone. At least for the time being, Preston does not need to be shrouded in the shadow of relegation.

Returning to the locker room was another crazy celebration. No matter what, getting out of the relegation zone is always a happy thing. Moyes was also very happy. After taking office, he won two consecutive victories and his position was also stable. The players have initially established confidence in him, which will be of great help to his next leadership.

After almost the celebration, Moyes coughed and the locker room immediately became quiet.

"Prepare to change clothes," Moyes said briefly, then glanced at Tiger: "Tiger, go to the press conference with me."

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone's eyes changed a little - in professional clubs, they would attend press conferences before and after the game began. Although the press conferences of the English League Two are not large in scale, many local reporters also attended the venue. Generally, the players who attended the press conferences were captain-level figures. In the past, Moyes followed Peters to attend the press conference the most. After the last game, Moyes brought Nogan, the captain-level opponent. In this game, he brought Tiger. In addition to rewarding his outstanding performance, it was also a recognition of Tiger's current status in the team!

This at least means that Tiger's position in the team can no longer be described by a main force, but at least it is above most of the main force!

After only two and a half games, Tiger was just a reserve player half a month ago, but now he has not only become the main player, but also immediately has a high enough position in the first team. This is simply incredible in ordinary teams. However, for Preston players, they do not have much objection. After Tiger became the main player, the team's offense changes were extremely obvious. At the same time, the offense was strong, which also reduced the pressure on defense a lot. With such a main player, it is beneficial to all main players, which also makes Moyes' decision not controversial!

Tiger, of course, understood what this meant, and a few slight excitement appeared on his face, but he quickly suppressed it, nodded, and walked out of the locker room with Moyes.

"Tiger."

After walking out of the locker room gate, Moyes stopped and said to Tiger: "You have performed well in these games! To be honest, I thought you had the talent to be the core of the midfield before, but I didn't expect you to be able to perform so well quickly! Originally, my idea was that it might take you a while to get familiar with your teammates before you can exert your strength... But you quickly showed the potential of the core of the midfield! To be honest, I was surprised."

Tiger smiled. Of course, he would not say that he had been cooperating with these teammates in the main god space for a long time. If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for him to quickly establish a tacit understanding with his teammates. When he was familiar with his teammates, his teammates' familiarity with him was more than just a double increase!

"Tiger, you and I are both newcomers. Many people are questioning me, the new head coach, and many people are questioning you, the new core, and there are also many people who are questioning us, whether it is Taylor, Waddock, or more people, they all doubt our abilities, so we must perform better and let those guys know the consequences of questioning us!" Moyes said in an unquestionable tone.

"Coach." Tiger took a deep breath: "After entering the first team, I stayed in the reserve team for nearly two years for a year and a half. During these two years, I have been ridiculed. Everyone thought I was about to finish and would be swept out by the team after the contract ended! Now that I stand up, I will never allow anyone to press on my head on the court!"

In the last sentence, Tiger almost lowered his throat and roared - now when I think back to the days a month or two ago, Tiger feels chilling - what kind of days is that! I was still living a confused life with that kind of life before!

Moyes saw the flame in Tiger's eyes, which was the flame of ambition and desire. Moyes was very familiar with this look, because he could sometimes see this look in the mirror - especially after becoming Preston's head coach.

At this time, Moyes suddenly felt that maybe Tiger would not stay in Preston for too long. People with such ambition and ability would not stay in the low league forever...

"Let's go, let's go to the press conference." Moyes spoke after a while of silence.
