Chapter 92: Leader

Attack! What is Attack? Attack means that you just attacked, and then the opponent attacked, and they were coming and going, just like two undefensive boxers fighting each other, punching the flesh, and the sound of "bang bang" sounded randomly...

The game of Berry playing against Preston at home was a standard offensive game.

From the first second of the kickoff, the two sides were in the most intense battle.

Preston organized the attack after kicking off, but the ball passed by Tiger to Nogan was cut off by the opponent's defender Butel. After the interception, Berry quickly launched a counterattack. Mola pulled the side and passed the ball. Mims completed the first shot of the game. Mims flew to save the ball, and Berry got a corner kick.

The Berry fans in the stands began to cheer loudly, and they were also resentful of the game a few months ago. It was not that the draw made them feel dissatisfied, but that Berry was suppressed by Preston and was passively beaten near his penalty area, which made them feel extremely embarrassed.

After the draw, Berry once encountered great trouble in the league. He either tied or lost for several consecutive games, and almost fell out of the top two areas that directly advanced. Fortunately, they quickly adjusted their state and returned to the previous state of constantly using offense to destroy the opponent's defense. After winning consecutively, they returned to the top of the standings and expanded their lead advantage - although they did not get as many points as Preston during this period, they were also the team with the most points besides Preston.

But although they are ahead of Preston by ten points, since Preston had too few points before, many people think that the best-performing League Two team is Preston rather than them, which also made Berry hold his breath and show the style of the League Two leader.

In addition, Preston was just beaten 5-1 by Luton on the away game in the first two rounds, which invisibly increased Berry's confidence.

However, they seemed to have forgotten one thing. Preston, who was beaten by Luton, did not have Tiger. It was this Tiger who created a miracle from one to four to four in the first round of the game, and forced them to humiliately defend the whole game and took a point away!

Berry, who had forgotten the pain after healing his scar, seemed destined to suffer a big loss on Preston, who also had a breath.

After the opening, Berry launched a fierce attack, while Preston temporarily shrank the defense line. Preston's defense has always been good. Even Berry could not easily tear off Preston's defense. While defending, Preston's two forwards did not return to defend too deeply, but were waiting for a counterattack near the center circle. Instead, Tiger, who had not returned to defend much, returned to the front of the penalty area. He did not participate in the defense, but was running aimlessly.

However, at this location, as long as he can receive the ball, whether he dribbled the ball or passed it for a long time, it could bring great lethality to Berry - in Berry's halftime, there were blockbuster gaps.

It’s not that Berry doesn’t care too much about defense, but because of their tactical characteristics - using fierce offense to destroy the opponent’s defense, this is what Berry is best at. If he still takes into account the defense and lays out enough troops in the backcourt, the final result will be a four-way match. It is precisely because he puts most of his energy into the offense that Berry used offense to sweep almost all the League Two teams.

However, the English League Two teams are only English League Two teams after all. Even if Berry's current attack ability is the strongest in the entire English League Two, he cannot easily tear off Preston's defense.

After Jackson blocked his shot with his body, the rolling ball fell to Barrett's feet. Barrett didn't even think about it, almost subconsciously poked the ball to Tiger.

Although the cooperation between Preston's players and Tiger is quite tacit, no one is more familiar with Tiger than Barrett. Even though his passing ability is not particularly outstanding, few people in the team can do better than him by passing a pass to Tiger at the first time.

If it weren't for his skills, he still seemed rough, Moyes wanted him to be a single midfielder and add an attacking midfield to enhance his offensive ability.

Seeing that Tiger was about to catch the ball, two Berry players immediately crossed over. Berry, who wanted to take revenge, would not have any contempt for Tiger. After all, it was Tiger's outstanding performance in the first round of the game that made Berry suffer. Recently, Tiger's performance has already vaguely had the style of attacking the top midfielder in the English League Two. Faced with such a player, Berry naturally would not be despised at all.

However, they still looked down on Tiger's ability. Almost while receiving the ball, Tiger had already observed the situation in the frontcourt. After receiving the ball, Tiger turned around and immediately made a long pass when he blocked a Berry defender behind him!

The ball flew directly into the central circle, and the two strikers of Preston were ready to go!

Nogan jumped up near the center circle, overwhelmed the opponent's defender and headed the ball towards Berry's half. Grant, who was extremely fast, had already started at the same time, instantly left Berry's defender behind!

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh, the offense and defense momentum reversed instantly!"

With the commentator's shouting and the unbelievable eyes of Berry's fans, Grant quickly threw away the opponent's defender, then chased the ball and rushed directly into Berry's penalty area!

Long pass, ferry, forward insertion - a single sword is so easy!

In this counterattack, Grant did not make the previous frivolous shooting and wasting opportunities - while Tiger kept feeding the ball, Grant's ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal has also made great progress!

When the opponent's goalkeeper was halfway through, Grant decisively swung his right foot and shot it directly. The ball quickly flew past the goalkeeper and then flew into Berry's goal!

"One to zero! Young forward Thor Grant scored the first record for Preston! Preston's trident hit a beautiful counterattack this time. A simple long pass and ferry completed such a beautiful goal! Simple, but effective!"

Amid the cheers of hundreds of Preston fans, Tiger opened his arms and hugged Norgan and Grant tightly. They were excited, but not particularly excited. As the Preston players thought, we even killed the Premier League team Wimbledon. What is a mere English League Two team?

Shortly after the opening, Preston's premiere made Berry's home fans silent. However, Berry is the leader of the League Two after all. In the past half of the season, they have proved their ability with their devastating offense. At least on the three-point field in the League Two, they dare to say that their offense is the best!

In the following time, Berry launched a fierce attack, which once suppressed Preston and couldn't breathe. Preston's current defense is indeed not as good as before. After resisting for a while, he was finally shot in front of the opponent's top scorer Mora, and equalized the score.

"Berry is indeed a relatively difficult opponent." Moyes thought to himself, but he was not too worried. Even if Berry's offense was excellent, he could not keep it up like the kind of unstoppable high-intensity attack just now. Moreover, under such a fierce attack, although Preston was passively beaten, his physical strength was much less than the opponent.

You have the advantage during this period, and it will be my turn next.

After conceding the ball, Preston quickly launched a counterattack under the leadership of Tiger. Now Tiger is extremely confident in himself and plays freely on the court. Now he has vaguely felt that perhaps his true level is the top level in the English League Two, but when he is constantly undergoing high-intensity training and games in the main god space, the ability he can play on the court has far exceeded the ability that his own ability data can show. After all, there is not that big difference in football. The so-called performance of eleven superstars may not be a good match for ordinary players who are tacitly combined together. The ability of a player to play on the court is closely related to the team system, teammates' cooperation, and the adjustment of his own mentality.

Although Tiger's current ability value is only at the average level of the English League One, the data is dead after all. As strong as Maradona will perform very well after not having the desire to play and fighting spirit. Tiger is currently in an upward period, and at the same time, he always competes with opponents who do not make mistakes in the virtual space. While causing Tiger to suffer enough, it also gives him a nearly direct and keen observation ability to observe the flaws exposed by his opponent.

If a player can always seize the fleeting opportunity on the court, he will definitely be able to surpass his own abilities. Just as you can't say that someone is better than someone passing the ball, he will definitely create more opportunities on the court. Creating opportunities and grasping the level of opportunity can also surpass the obstacles between technical abilities.

Tiger hasn't figured this out yet, but it doesn't prevent him from using his outstanding performance on the court to kill one opponent after another who is actually not much worse than him.

Berry soon discovered that the opponents they faced were not only tough in defense, but also were definitely not much inferior to them in terms of their offense!

Berry's equalizer was completed in the 20th minute, and in the next twenty minutes, they created four shots, while Preston had a full six shots!

In a purely offensive battle, Preston suppressed Berry, who is known as the strongest offensive ability in the All-British League!

There is no doubt that there is only one person who brought all this, that is, Tiger Lee, who supported all the attacks in the midfield, organized by Preston!

His left foot passed over the ball, and then he gently stroked over again. After causing the opponent's center of gravity to shift, Tiger cleverly used his heel to hit the side of the ball, hitting the opponent's center of gravity to the opposite place, and then accelerated and left.

Darren West gasped heavily, looking at Tiger who had already gotten rid of himself with an incredible look, feeling depressed in his heart.

From the opening game to now, he has fought against Tiger for more than five times, and all of them have lost. Every time he is broken by Tiger, he can always feel that the other party is at least a level higher than himself. West has never felt such a frustrated feeling when facing other League Two offensive players before!

After getting rid of the opponent's only midfielder, Tiger successfully dribbled the ball through the midfield, and then passed the ball to Nogan in front of him. Nogan immediately hit the ball across. Tiger, who was in front of the chaotic Berry defense line, successfully received the ball in front of the already messy Berry defense line, and then followed the situation and broke into the penalty area!

While breaking through, Tiger sighed a little in his heart. In fact, he had the opportunity to shoot directly just now, but his shooting power is average, and it is probably difficult to score at this distance, so it is better to cut in.

But if you face a better defensive player, do you have this opportunity to cut in? It seems that you still have to practice shooting, especially long shots. For an attacking midfielder, your current goal is basically scored in the penalty area.

Although he was thinking about things in his heart, Tiger was not slow at all. After breaking into the penalty area, Tiger made a sudden stop, then quickly dunked the ball to the side, dodged the opponent's defender who came to block it, and then immediately took a kick!

This kind of shooting immediately after dodging in the penalty area has become a very important scoring method for Tiger, because if he slows a little in the penalty area in the virtual space, the shooting route may be blocked by the opponent's defender, which also makes him form a conditioned reflex way to immediately raise his foot to shoot at the penalty area and dodge the angle in the penalty area!

The advantage of this kind of shooting is that it has the greatest suddenness!

Despite the save, Berry's goalkeeper was still one step slower and watched the ball fly into the goal for the second time!

The entire stadium fell into silence again, and cheers from hundreds of Preston fans rang out again!

If the first goal was just to make Berry's players and fans feel dissatisfied, then this goal made Berry feel a huge blow!

After losing a ball, Preston once again tore Berry's defense with fierce and continuous attacks, and took the lead again!

Who said that Berry's offense is the first in the League Two? Our offense is the first in the League Two!

If we hadn't lost too many points before, Berry, you wouldn't have thought of occupying the first place in the League Two standings!

Even now... who will win to death is unknown!

Until the start of the second half, Berry still failed to recover from the second goal conceding.

When a team is proud of one aspect of themselves, if you hit them in this aspect and make them feel that the other party is even better than themselves in this aspect, this blow is more serious than anything else.

That's what Berry is now.

In the first round, Preston chased three goals in a row in the second half, and the three-pointer turned into one point. They could also be said to be relaxed when they were leading the score. They were the first to score by Preston in this game, and they could be said to be accidental, but the goal just now was Preston to tear Berry's defense line with a head-on and forcibly attack, and then took the lead again! In this case, even if Berry's players are hard, they will have to think of a question - is it because our defense is too poor or is Preston's offense really surpassing him?

This mood completely affected Berry's performance. Although losing this game was nothing for them, after all, they still had a great advantage in the league, but the fact that they lost in the offense seriously hit the confidence of Berry's players.

In the following game, Preston's offensive began to completely gain the upper hand. The dispatch and organization of Tiger's midfield allowed Preston's midfield to suppress Berry's midfield. After the midfield had the advantage, Preston's offensive times and efficiency seemed higher than Berry, and this fact began to further hit the confidence of Berry's players!

After all, Berry was just a mid-range team in the League Two before. Although they are strong this season, they lack some time to accumulate, and their main players are not old.

After a fierce attack, the defender Jackson, who assisted forward, received a corner kick from Brian and scored in the army. While facing the old master's goal, it also completely established the victory of Preston's game!

Three to one, Preston defeated the league leader!

After this victory, Preston's condition has undoubtedly reached its peak!

"The League Two is over, and the league is in trouble again!"

"In the highlight of the 35th round of the League Two, the sixth-placed preston, who recently performed well, overturned the league leader Berry 3-1 away, tied for fourth with the draw with Notts County in this round, and left Millwall, who also drew two points. After losing this game, the leader Berry only had five points ahead of the second-place Stoke Port. With eleven rounds left in the league, this is not an insurance number. Luton, who ranked third, also had 61 points. The gap before the top six in the league is only nine points. The gap between the second-place Stoke Port and the sixth-place Millwall is only four points. Which two lucky guys can get the qualification to directly advance to the League One has become the most concerned topic in the next two months!"

"There are eleven rounds of games, our goal? At this time, I have only one goal, that is, to attack the top two and advance to the League One directly!"

At the post-match press conference, Moyes said confidently.
Chapter completed!
