Chapter 484 Our Goal

With four goals at home, and the last round eliminated Perugia by 8-0 in two rounds, Leiden Oriental's consecutive wins in the League Cup surprised all Europe. Although Perugia and Mallorca are not strong teams, they are also teams with good results in the four major leagues. If Leiden Oriental should not have appeared in the League Cup, it would be better to say it, but there is no shortage of Leiden Oriental in the current League Cup teams, which is considered by the media to "a strong team that should not have appeared in the League Cup" - Inter Milan, Barcelona...

However, compared with Leiden Oriental's easy winning streak, the two strong men, Inter Milan and Barcelona, ​​seemed a little difficult to perform in the League Cup. In the sixteenth-final, Inter Milan only drew the French Ligue 1 mid-range team Socio and advanced with the advantage of scoring more away goals. In the same game, they also tied the Portuguese Benfica away in the away game. The situation in the second leg was not very favorable; and Barcelona only eliminated Denmark's Brownderby with a score of 3-1 in two rounds. In the first leg of the eighth-final, they were even defeated by Celtic Larson's sword away, and the situation back to home is worrying.

So in this case, Leiden Oriental became the biggest favorite in the League Cup, with the odds of winning the championship surpassing Inter Milan, Barcelona and Valencia - Valencia lost to Turkey's Gencileil Billiji zero-1 away game, and the odds of winning the championship have now dropped to fourth place.

The second leg of the League Cup was held on March 26, including two rounds of league games. It is a rare schedule for seven days to rest between two league games. This is also the reason why Xiao Ming used the tactic of competing with the opponent in his home game and consuming physical strength. They will have more rest time next, and even if they try their best in each game, it will not have much impact on them.

In terms of intensive schedules, the real test of Leiden Oriental is in April. In fact, the schedule of all third-line teams is the most intense in April. In April, Leiden Oriental will play five league games. If they can enter the semi-finals of the League Cup, then they will play three League Cup games, plus a FA Cup semi-finals, nine games in thirty days. Among the five opponents in the league, Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle, the opponent in the semi-finals of the FA Cup is also Arsenal. The intensive schedule and the value of strong teams are the real test of Leiden Oriental.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Ming took a little risk to use the tactic of fighting against Mallorca at home. Now his tactics have been successful. At least in this League Cup game, Leiden East can give more main players a rest for a while and prepare for the final sprint.

The remaining three league opponents of Leiden Orient in March are Southampton, Wolves and Leicester City. This will be the last easier installment in Leiden Oriental's league. Wolves and Leicester City are both deeply trapped in the relegation zone, while Southampton's situation is much better and there is no desire to play.

Valencia eliminated Turkey's Gencileil Billigi 2-0 in overtime, and passed the stern and his performance on thin ice also made European media not optimistic about Benitez's next leading performance.

The other two Premier League teams were full of joy and sorrow. Newcastle defeated Ligue 1's Ausserl with three-to-zero home court to advance, while Liverpool lost to another Ligue 1 team. Marseille's Ivorian scorer Drogba scored two goals in two rounds, helping Marseille eliminate Liverpool three-to-two in two rounds.

At the draw ceremony of the quarterfinals of the League Cup, Leiden Oriental finally met a truly strong team - the Celtics who eliminated Barcelona in the last round - in a sense, this is also a British civil war, although if you say to the English in the UK to the Scots are British and to the Scots are British, they will be beaten...

April is not here yet, but the devilish schedule of Leiden East has really begun.

On March 28, in the 30th round of the league, Leiden Oriental challenged Leicester City away.

On April 1st, the 31st round of the league will face Blackburn at home.

On April 4, the FA Cup semi-finals will challenge Arsenal away.

On April 7, in the 32nd round of the league, he challenged Arsenal again away.

On April 10, the first game of the League Cup quarterfinals was to challenge the Celtics away.

On April 14th, the 33rd round of the league will face Charlton at home.

On April 17, the second game of the League Cup quarterfinals will face the Celtics at home.

On April 20, the 34th round of the league will face Fulham at home.

On April 27, the 35th round of the league will challenge Manchester United away.

If Leiden Oriental enters the semi-finals of the League Cup, then on April 23, Leiden Oriental will have another first leg of the League Cup semi-finals, and the opponent will be the winner between Inter Milan and Marseille. No matter who it is, it will be a tough battle.

It is enough to have a game that cannot be missed every three or four days alone, not to mention that these opponents are not weak. At the same time, except for the two rounds of the League Cup, the league's home courts are facing weaker teams, both against Arsenal and Manchester United away. Although Leiden Oriental defeated Manchester United away before, Manchester United, which has been eliminated from the Champions League and the FA Cup, may all the injured players will come back at that time, and the difficulty will be greater than in the previous FA Cup games. It is even more unpleasant to face Arsenal in Hebbe twice in a row.

"Fortunately, both games against Blackburn and Arsenal were played in London. After returning from Scotland, we were all at home for three consecutive games. This kind of schedule is reasonable." Xiao Ming sighed and put down the schedule in his hand, shook his head and said.

"Yes, it's also a intensive schedule, and we're pretty lucky. At least the players don't need to fly around in the sky. And boss, we can actually give up a certain game, or let substitutes play, so that the main players face more important games." Wilkins suggested.

"Give up? Which one do you think you can give up?" Xiao Ming smiled bitterly: "The FA Cup has reached the semi-finals and can win the championship in two games. Is it a pity to give up at this time? And don't forget that our opponent is Arsenal, and we will play the life-and-death battle with them in the league next time. We must not show weakness in this game, otherwise we don't have to play in the league. The League Cup has also reached the quarterfinals. It would be a pity to give up at this time? Don't forget that our champion Curry lacks such a championship. We may not have the chance to play in the League Cup in the future... As for the league, do you still need to say? If you can win four consecutive championships, we are the number one person in Premier League history!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Ming waved his fist: "Even if it's just the League Cup, I will still win the triple crown this season! There are no more championships, let alone the unprecedented four consecutive championships in the top league in England! If we don't compete for this honor, who will compete for? We have won three consecutive games, why not win the fourth one? It's not easy to win four consecutive games next time!"

"If you want to do it, do things that our predecessors have not done before! We won two consecutive championships in the Champions League, but we cannot compare with Real Madrid's five consecutive championships. Let's not talk about that. After all, it is a special honor that can only be generated under special circumstances. In the history of the English top league, Aston Villa, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United have all been infinitely close to the honor of creating a miracle of four consecutive championships, but they all fell in the middle and finally could only achieve four championships in five years. Since we have achieved three consecutive championships, we have to fight for everything this season! The worst thing is that this season is nothing, but if our luck is better, even if we are eliminated in the Champions League group stage, our season will still be extremely brilliant!"

Xiao Ming's roar made the members of the coaching staff excited. Yes, to set records, they set records that their predecessors had never set. The longest history of winning consecutive championships in England in the top league is Huddersfield, Arsenal and Liverpool three consecutive championships. Leiden Oriental has now tied their records. The next thing to do is to surpass!

Since we have unified our minds, the next thing we need to do is nothing more than how to make the team perform better and how to keep the team in good shape in the third-line battle.

"After playing against Leicester City and Blackburn, we have to face Arsenal in a row, and Blackburn and Leicester City are now relegated. They will definitely fight fiercely in the game, so we should not have any luck. Even if we rotate, we can rotate one or two older people and have poor physical fitness. For example, Ronaldo and Figo, we can rotate a little to maintain their condition and physical fitness. Ronaldo, Darren Bent and Pirlo are all very suitable alternatives.

There were many games before, and there were not too many problems with their condition and cooperation, so in the next two league games, I decided to let Ronaldo and Figo take turns to rest, accumulate their physical fitness, and make their condition the best in the previous games against Arsenal! Of course, the premise is to win these two teams that need to be relegated - don't forget, the gap between us and Arsenal is now four points. If we don't get six points, then even if we win Arsenal away, we still have a gap with them."

"But what if Arsenal wins in a row?" McDonald shook his head and said.
