Chapter 019
More difficult to play than the headwind, that is, the lead is reversed.
Especially if you are ahead across the board.
This situation can often be a great test for the mentality of the players.
After being chased three goals in a row.
It’s obvious.
The mentality of the Birmingham players has broken down a bit.
Coach Bowyer’s face completely darkened.
Not even waiting for the whistle to end in injury time in the first half, he turned around and walked back to the dressing room with a gloomy face.
Fans could hear his roar in the away team’s dressing room from the stands.
Compared to Birmingham.
Peterborough United’s mentality is much better.
From falling behind to equalizing to reversal, for them, the morale improvement is undoubtedly huge.
Darren was also in a good mood.
He didn’t make substitutions at halftime.
Back in the dressing room, Darren did not criticize the team’s poor performance in the opening period, but praised every player who came on.
Especially Lin Xu.
“Well done!”
Mr. Coach patted Lin Xu’s shoulder, looked at the calm and firm eyes of the youth after the team’s reversal, and made a decision in his heart.
Then, as usual, he left the dressing room first.
Leave time to these young players.
Before closing the door.
Darren looked at the other players who were still in a state of excitement, did not deliberately fight their emotions, but just smiled.
“Keep it that way for me in the second half.”
His voice was neat and loud in answer.
“Okay head!”
This voice made Darren more convinced that he had not done anything wrong in his decision to start.
The team has been losing since it was promoted to the Championship.
He hadn’t seen a passionate, bloody and united locker room for a long time.
Players’ abilities can be adjusted, talents can be tapped, but the spirit of a team sometimes needs a leading player to give.
Lin Xu was the one he needed.
It is also the one who is most lacking in Petersburg.
……
Wait for Darren to leave.
A crowd of excited players went over one after another and surrounded Lin Xu.
Hamilton and Knight put their arms around Lin Xu’s shoulders on the left and right.
“Lin, how to kick later, we will listen to you.”
“Yes, listen to you!”
Before Ward’s injury, they had always passed the ball to Lin Xu.
Lin Xu was restrained, and it was difficult for them to play an effective attack.
By the time Ward was replaced, Lin Xu quietly communicated with the people in the midfield.
Changed tactics.
Lin Xu became the one who attracted the defense, and the others followed the attack.
Only then did the reverse break in the back.
Although Darren did not directly say that Lin Xu was the tactical core, everyone could see Lin Xu’s role on the field, and Lin Xu had unknowingly become their real core.
And inside these people.
Hamilton was originally Lin Xu’s roommate, and the relationship with Lin Xu goes without saying.
Knight was completely convinced of Lin Xu after this half.
He used to rotate and attack as a playmaker in the middle, but the strikers in front of him always made him feel a little bit less interesting.
During the training match, Lin Xu’s two balls really made Knight feel very amazing.
But he thought the training session might not be as intense.
Until today, this official game.
The team went from falling behind to reversing, and Lin Xu’s role in it made Knight completely convinced.
There is Lin Xu in the front court.
Their offense can be played.
Lin Xu receives the ball and can pose a threat to the opponent’s goal. Even if they can’t receive the ball, with Lin Xu there, the other party must divide at least two or three people to defend Lin Xu, which gives them the opportunity to attack the rest of them.
It gave Knight a feeling like he was back in Leicester City’s youth academy.
It’s like watching a first-team game when he was at Leicester City.
The role of a star in the front point is not exactly to score goals, but also to pull the opposing defense.
Lin Xu has faintly given him a feeling of stardom.
Although from the data.
Lin Xu only scored one goal today.
But the three goals that Peterborough United reversed today, Lin Xu played a key role in them.
They only need a dozen counter-attacks to score.
Lin Xu’s role in the front point is indispensable.
Just rush this, he also obeys Lin Xu.
Coupled with the fact that the Birmingham manager’s inept fury next door can be heard in the dressing room, they are even more comfortable.
Randall also came over and waved his fist, “Hit them for a tragic case!” ”
Randall and Ward, who was injured, live in the same dormitory in the first team of Petersburg.
The relationship between the two people has always been very good.
Ward was replaced by an elbow attack today, and the angriest one was Randall.
Everyone else also looked at Lin Xu, waiting for him to speak.
Even Thompson, the captain on the field today, was the same.
Lin Xu was not the captain, but they were willing to listen to him.
This is the prestige that belongs to the strong.
It has nothing to do with age.
They were willing to believe Lin Xu because they knew that Lin Xu could bring them victory.
Especially after a hellish start, these young players, who usually can only be used as substitutes, cherish the current lead and hope to win the final victory.
It doesn’t matter if it’s for the fans.
Or for the injured Ward.
Or.
A little more realistic.
In order for them to be able to win more starting and main positions in the future.
This game.
They all have to win.
Better to win beautifully!
Let Birmingham who has no end to fouling have nothing to say!
Looking at the trusting gazes around him, Lin Xu suddenly felt the pressure and responsibility on his body.
But he’s never been a personality who avoids stress.
Facing the gazes of his teammates, Lin Xu just nodded seriously and returned an affirmative look.
“Okay, then we’ll send them a tragedy!”
……
After halftime.
The two sides fought again.
Birmingham are probably scolded by the manager in the dressing room, and the emotions of playing football after playing are obviously mixed with anger.
Originally, they had a lot of fouls today.
Lin Xu could clearly feel that the people who followed him moved even more.
However, he has a bonus of attribute points.
The physical strength and movement have been added to the full score, and it is not easy for the opponent to foul him.
Several tackles failed to tackle Lin Xu, but Birmingham’s two central defenders collided together, and right-back Roberts was carried directly off the field.
Birmingham passively completed a substitution.
Plus substitutions in midfield.
Birmingham have run out of substitutions.
Roberts’ end made the visiting fans who came with the team very unhappy.
They thought the ball should at least blow Lin Xu a foul.
But this was originally Birmingham’s foul on Lin Xu first, and it was Lin Xu who dodged fast enough to cause the two Birmingham players to collide together.
The referee did not blow Birmingham’s foul, how could he blow Lin Xu.
The fans booed the indifference of the referee.
Boss Bowyer was also dissatisfied on the sidelines.
After complaining to the fourth official, the fourth official ignored it.
Bowyer couldn’t help but say a few dirty words to the referee.
The Birmingham manager was originally a temperament.
When he was a player, he could fight with his teammates in public on the field because his teammates did not pass the ball.
Swearing two dirty words is already a trifle for this famous Premier League villain.
But the referee on duty today is also a personality.
Forty-five minutes in the first half, plus almost ten minutes at the beginning of the second half, no matter how much the home fans booed him, in the face of Birmingham’s foul-style play, not to play is not to play.
Except for a yellow card given to Woods when he gave Peterborough a penalty in the first half, and a yellow card for Hamilton when the two sides clashed, the rest of the time, not a single card was played.
However, Bowyer was heard scolding him.
The referee didn’t even think about it.
Turning around is a red card.
