If someone asks Moyes now, your focus will be on the FA Cup or the league next, Moyes will definitely have only one answer, that is, the league, not the FA Cup.

The reason is very simple. There are 21 rounds left in the league. Now Preston ranks 12th with 35 points, only six points away from Weicombe, who ranked sixth, and has entered the sprint stage. The remaining twenty-one rounds will be played in four months, and at least five games a month will have to be played, because the English League Two still has to leave time to play the playoffs. For Preston, who only has one main lineup, the schedule is already very close. It has been proven in the FA Cup. Even if Preston's character explodes and enters the semi-finals, it doesn't make much sense for the rest of the game. After all, playing Wimbledon, who is in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, is so difficult. When facing the top teams in the Premier League, Preston probably will never be able to win. Instead of wasting energy in the FA Cup, it would be better to attack the English League One with all his strength.

What's more, with the ability shown by Tiger now, if Preston remains in the League Two next season, it is probably impossible to keep Tiger. Most of the Premier League teams will come to poach people at that time, at most, they will be teams in the League One level. These teams will not be able to bring in Tiger. However, their attractiveness is much greater than that of Preston. Preston may lose the offensive core at that time, but he will not be able to get too much financial compensation...

If you can enter the League One, Preston will have much more room for maneuver.

This statement is naturally not something Moyes would tell the players, but he is not worried about the players' fighting spirit, which is more obvious after the FA Cup victory.

We can beat the Premier League team, so the English League Two is definitely not where we should stay!

So after returning to Preston, the team's training sentiment was high, and they began to trust Moyes more and Tiger more!

"No one will be able to stop us in the next game!" Moyes said confidently in an interview that his words were also the voice of all Preston players!

Some media think that they are saying this a little too big - just a cold game in the FA Cup, they start to ignore all the League Two teams? Except for the local media in Preston who firmly believe this, the media supporting other League Two teams basically laugh at them, believing that their pride will soon be smashed in the league.

However, Preston quickly proved to everyone with their performance that their confidence did not come from the victory of that game! Although the victory of that game is very important...

A week later, on January 11, Preston took the home court and welcomed his league opponents in this round, Watford, who ranked above them.

"We focus on defense in this game! Preston has performed very well recently. They even defeated Premier League team Wimbledon in the FA Cup. It is irrational to fight with them. As long as we keep the offensive ahead and launch a counterattack after their offensive momentum eases, there is still a great chance to win!"

The Watford coach said this in the locker room before the game began.

However, he still underestimated Preston's offensive wave and overestimated Watford's defensive ability.

Amid the shouts of 20,000 home fans, Preston launched wave after wave of attacks against Watford's gate.

Tiger is now on the target of public criticism on the court, but after experiencing the baptism of Premier League players, Tiger is able to be at ease in the defense of the English League Two!

He strolled on the court and controlled the ball, and then continued to use the pass to dispatch the entire team's offense. Similarly, after the baptism of the last game, the cooperation between his teammates and Tiger became closer!

Watford's heavy defense line lasted for only thirteen minutes before being pierced by Preston's attack. Tiger took the ball at the front of the penalty area and got rid of two defensive players and then sent a straight pass. Grant inserted at high speed and snatched the goalkeeper and poked it, then stabbed the ball into the goal!

In Tiger's eyes, although Watford's defense has many people, it is full of flaws. However, it is difficult for Preston's offensive players to appear in time in those passing routes, but there are many opportunities for offense. As long as you can seize it once, it can basically be considered a goal!

After taking the lead, Preston played more easily on the court. Before the end of the first half, Tiger passed the ball and assisted Spanore made a cross. Nogan beat the opponent's defender in front of the goal and added another point, 2-0.

After the second half began, Watford grabbed a mistake on Preston's defense line and scored a goal, but soon, Tiger passed three people in a row and then shot in the penalty area, extinguishing Watford's hope of a final comeback!

After the goal, Tiger waved his fists, and Preston fans also responded to Tiger with warm applause.

"Defeated Watford three-to-one, Preston jumped to the eleventh place in the standings and has completely gotten out of the relegation zone. After changing coaches, Preston won six wins, two draws and one loss in nine leagues, and grabbed twenty points in a row. Now they are only a few five points away from the playoffs area... There are twenty rounds left in the league. If Preston's momentum can be maintained like this, then no team will be their opponent! Be careful in the top six teams, and they may add a brand new opponent next!"

The 27th round of the league is a huge test for Preston.

Because they will challenge Millwall away - in addition to Millwall now ranks fourth and is the strong team that has won the entire English League Two, their home court in hell is also a place that scares all English League Two teams!

Millwall has the most brutal group of football hooligans in the whole of England. Their home fanatic atmosphere also made all the English League Two teams frightened - so far they have remained unbeaten at home with ten wins and three draws! If their away results were not for their hindrance, their current ranking would definitely have to go up a little!

Everyone thought Preston was very sad to beat Millwall away, and the form of Preston players also declined in this game. However, they still relied on Tiger's assist before the end of the game to grab a point from Millwall, saving their unbeaten record!

After returning from the Devils' home court, Preston's morale rose again, and the next one was to play against Burnley away, which could be regarded as a Lancashire derby, but there was no grudge between the two teams. In this game, Tiger helped the team beat Burnley two-to-one away, tied with tenth Chesterfield with 42 points and tied for tenth place.

Now from Berry, who ranked first to Kowts County, which ranked ninth, the points gap is only six points, and Preston is only three points behind Kowts County. This is also the biggest factor for Moyes to attack the League One - Berry's condition has declined recently and his advantage has become less large. There are not many teams with outstanding strength in the League Two now, and the teams in the first half are basically strangled together. In such a chaotic world, Preston's actual ability is not particularly outstanding, but because of some factors, it seems that the team that is very strong in a certain period of time is the best opportunity to take advantage of the chaos!

There are shortcuts in troubled times!

With eighteen rounds of league left, the first nine points away from the league - this is not a gap that cannot be caught up!

On February 1, Preston welcomed Chesterfield at home.

After Moyes took office, he only lost one game, which was to lose to Chesterfield away. Preston showed an extremely strong interest in having a chance to take revenge in less than two months - especially Tiger. In that game, Tiger was jointly guarded by two opponent's midfielders, and the number of passes in the whole game was reduced by nearly half. Preston also lost because he lacked his involvement and passing in the frontcourt. After improving his ability and his condition had gradually reached its peak, Tiger felt that he had reached the time to take revenge.

He did it.

After the ninety minutes of the game, the scoreboard above the Pdale field scored a 2-0 score, with the home team in front.

Tiger scored twice this season. He took over two goals from Preston, helping Preston defeat the opponent with the same points before, occupying the tenth position alone, and being four points away from the sixth place.

"Preston's form is unparalleled! They are the team that has won the most points in the entire English League Two in the past two months! The next game is the fourth round of the FA Cup facing Xie Zhou Wednesday, who is also a Premier League team. Can they continue to create miracles?"

After winning consecutive victories, Preston stopped his winning streak. Xie Wednesday was not as good as Wimbledon in terms of strength. He is now deeply involved in the Premier League relegation zone. However, in this game, Xie Wednesday suffered a huge pain to the confident Preston.

Tiger's performance in this game was still very good, but the other players' form declined. When facing Wimbledon, goalkeeper Mims, who performed bravely and with Premier League level, began to reveal his true face. His two low-level missteps in the game made Xie Zhousan lose two consecutive games in the first half and gained enough lead. After Xie Zhousan made up for defense, he kept strangling, which greatly reduced Tiger's breakthrough and pass-through power. Although Tiger still relied on a personal breakthrough in the second half, he still failed to turn around and lost the game one-two away and stopped in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

However, despite losing this game, the English media still praised Preston's performance - he finally lost one goal in the away game, which was already a close performance. A small English League Two team defeated Wimbledon before was shocking enough, and this time he supported him in front of a Premier League team to the last moment, which was indeed amazing.

"Preston's change is due to two people, one is the new coach and player, Scotsman David Moyes. It was under his command that Preston, who had been deeply trapped in the relegation zone, began to rise at an astonishing speed, and the other was the young midfielder, the Chinese mixed-race Tiger Lee. This young man began to become the core of Preston's offensive, and with his skills, fighting spirit, courage and unparalleled imagination, he became the key to Preston's score grabbing. Although the League Two game does not mean anything, Tiger Lee's skills are enough to move everyone who has paid attention to him. If this continues, we believe that Tiger Lee's stage will not be just in the League Two."

This is true. During this period, many scouts from the League One team have privately contacted Tiger. Tiger made excuses by "not considering any invitation before the end of the season". With Jones' invitation, he really doesn't take the League One team seriously. At the same time, many teams have proposed a proposal to buy Tiger for Preston. However, Drake Shaw is still very cautious in this regard. At this time, he will never sell Tiger, an increasingly important player. Everyone knows that it is completely different if Preston lacks Tiger now.

Football is not played by one person, but Tiger can make other teammates perform better. Such players are simply rare for the English League Two teams.

Moyes seemed calm, and after losing the FA Cup, he only said one sentence in the locker room.

"Now, it's time to start sprinting to the League One qualification with all your might."

In fact, for Moyes, the qualification to compete for the League One has already begun, but he cannot send all substitutes to deal with this FA Cup game - first, the FA Cup has a very high status in the minds of British fans, and second, the next schedule is not particularly intensive, so there is no need to rotate to save energy.

The current result is the best for Preston and Moyes. They lost the game in the FA Cup, but they did not lose badly. It is perfect to end the FA Cup journey in this way. The team does not need to continue to waste energy and time in the FA Cup game they are destined to not get, and the morale of the players will not decline because of this not-so-sighted defeat...

Moyes felt that he was lucky, so next, Preston would be lucky!

And his own luck and Preston's luck seem to be the one that has performed extremely well recently and is crazy.

My judgment is indeed correct! He is indeed the one who can make Preston go to glory!
Chapter completed!
