At New York Stadium, the home team Rotherham was scored two goals in just half an hour. The score of zero to two finally made Rotherham players realize something, but it was very difficult to make temporary adjustments.

The tactics formulated by the head coach have been finalized.

Even if the players on the Rotherham realize that they need to pay attention to the opponent's No. 13 and are two goals behind, Wigan Athletics is very conservative and plays a defensive counterattack and will not attack at all. In the situation of being behind, they can only attack.

They communicated with each other and didn't know what to do. The most important thing was that the head coach didn't speak and they didn't know how to adjust.

The opponent only defends, they must attack, and they can only face No. 13 and be careful.

That's all.

This way, he will be restrained when kicking the ball. The opponent's No. 13 is the back midfielder and has been running in the area in front of the penalty area. The area is very wide. Sometimes he will go to the side to make up for defense. If he passes the ball when he sees the opponent, he needs to cooperate with more short passes, and it is easy to make mistakes.

Rotherham's players on the court are still very strong.

Even if no one commanded them, they quickly realized what to do, which was to make a few long passes and attack from two sides. As soon as the opponent No. 13 came, they would pass the ball to the other side.

In this way, the opponent can no longer grab the ball.

However, there are obvious flaws in doing this, that is, the pass is inaccurate. After all, it is in the League One arena, and the players' strength is limited. Rotherham's two wing forwards have good footwork, but the passing of dozens of meters is not very accurate. If you accidentally get the football at the feet of the opponent's players.

Fortunately, the Wigan Athletics players did not play well in the rest of the first half and did not score again.

They held on until the end of the half.

...

Intermission.

The visiting team's locker room was relaxed. The players on the court were very tired, but they all had a smile on their faces. They were leading two goals, and they felt very relaxed. They didn't have to worry about anything at all. If they continued to play like this, they would win.

Ridell became the protagonist.

He scored both goals, and he should enjoy the main character treatment, so Brekin pushed Ridell into the middle and put a bottle of water on his head. "Look, our Andy! Baby Andy!"

"Hahaha……"

Many people were a little confused when they saw Brekin's approach, but many people still laughed. People who are familiar with Ridell know that there is a female bar owner who likes to call him like this.

Baby Andy, what a cute name!

Ridell was furious in shame. He pulled out the lid and splashed water on Brekin's face. The latter hugged his body miserably and murmured, "Look, baby Andy is angry. He looks so cute. It's my Andy..."

Zhang Tiehan hurriedly asked the teammates about the source of "Baby Andy" from his known teammates.

It was a sunny afternoon, but Wigan Town was very popular. Wigan Athletics won ten consecutive games in England's second division, and at the same time won the English League Two Championship four rounds ahead of schedule, and automatically upgraded to the English League One. This was the first time in Wigan Athletics' history.

Ridell took a few friends to the bar for a party.

They celebrated and danced with the fans they met in the bar. In the half-drunk and half-awake room, Ridell had some contact with the bar's female owner Dallie.

There were many fans and several players present at that time, and many people knew about this.

Ridell was born in Wigan, and he grew up here and everyone knew him, so things spread quickly. It was nothing, just a drunken night, in England, it was really normal.

But afterwards Darley announced that she was in love with Ridell.

The embarrassment is here.

Ridell is only twenty-five years old, while Dallie is already thirty-three years old. Dallie's mother is Ridell's grandfather's sister. In other words, Dallie is Ridell's cousin of Ridell's father. They have known each other since they were young, and Ridell has always been called Aunt Dallie.

This relationship is not far or near, and getting married does not violate the law.

But Wigan Town is not big after all, and it doesn’t matter if no one knows it, it’s embarrassing to everyone knows it.

But Dallie is a romantic woman. She always promotes her romantic love story with Ridal... Anyway, Ridal hasn't been to that bar since that time.

"A third-rate bloody love story with some color, this evaluation is not right. In short, Andy, you should face your love face. It is not wrong to like your aunt, everyone can understand..." Listening to the full story, Zhang Tiehan made a loud summary speech.

"Bastard! Who told him!" Reidel angrily searched for the man with a big mouth.

...

Compared to the lively dressing room of the visiting team, the atmosphere in the home team's dressing room is much more solemn. Many players remember that head coach Hallroyd didn't care about the opponent's No. 13 at all.

"That's just a newcomer. Newcomers are eager to perform. We just need to be more steady." Hallroyd said at the time.

But what is the result?

It is this newcomer's defense that makes the team so passive!

The players think so. This is the head coach's decision-making mistake, not their poor performance. As the person involved, no matter how thick-skinned Hallroyd is, he has to admit his mistake. He apologized to the players, "This is my mistake."

In one sentence, the players comforted a lot.

"We have a chance to play two balls, and the opponent has two balls advantage, and they will definitely defend, and what they are most not good at is defense. We still have to take the initiative to attack and play the team's momentum, and the tactics remain unchanged, but you need to pay attention to not let the No. 13 grab the ball."

"In addition, it is best to cooperate more on the side. We were stolen too many times in the first half, not only the opponent's No. 13, but the others are the same."

Hallroyd said that, in fact, it was just emphasizing that our tactics were fine, but we didn’t pay attention to the opponent’s No. 13. In addition, our performance today was not very good, which caused us to fall behind now. Everyone worked hard and continue to play like this in the second half. We still have a chance!

These words may have some effect.

Hallroyd was still very prestigious at Rotherham for several years, so the players stepped onto the field again with their continued efforts.

Few people question Hallroyd, but when the game starts again, some players start to question it.

If the tactics are not adjusted, then they will play no differently from the last stage of the first half. In such a game, the team did not have any advantage. It was just that the opponent did not score a few counterattacks, but the team still had no chance.

How to penetrate the opponent's defense line? The coach didn't say it.

How to pass on the opportunity? The coach didn't say.

Even how to stop the opponent from fighting back... the coach still didn't say anything.

So how do they fight?

Many Rotherham players were confused. They didn't know how to play. They were still playing football according to their previous style of play. They were the offensive side, but the situation was very dangerous. Every time the opponent's attack brought a threat, and they had the advantage of ball possession, but they could not find a good opportunity at all.

The only comforting thing is that in the second half, the opponent's No. 13 foul was made.

This is a normal steal.

Zhang Tiehan rushed very quickly. Before the opponent passed the ball, he fell to the ground and touched the ball with the tip of the sword, and also touched the opponent's player's feet. The opponent fell down, but he also received a yellow card from the referee.

"I didn't foul!" Zhang Tiehan explained to the referee depressed.

Ridell hurriedly pulled him away.

This ball said it was okay to have no foul, but the opponent flew out of the ball for more than one meter and fell to the ground. It was normal to judge a foul, and it would be a bit unfair to eat the yellow card. But this is the opponent's home court, and the referee is not a penalty machine. You cannot ask the referee to make the penalty accurate.

At the same time, the time has reached the 77th minute of the game.

Hallroyd has long been unable to sit still!

He sat steadily on the coach's seat from the beginning, and his temperament was fully demonstrated. But at this time, if he sits like that, fans will probably throw him to death with eggs. For the sake of life safety, Hallroyd stood bravely on the sidelines.

"Press up!Press up! Go forward!"

"Be careful! Idiot, this will make a mistake, go back to defend!"

"Stay calm! Don't worry... Bastard! At this time, why are you still slowing down? Pass the ball quickly!"

Hallroyd kept shouting to direct the game.

The winning balance has irreversibly tilted towards the Wigan Athletics side.

In the last ten minutes, amid Hallroyd's frequent shouts, Rotherham's offense was pretty good, but he failed to score. Instead, Brekin had a big foot in the backcourt, giving Ellington a chance. He took the ball to the right and passed it straight through the penalty area. Makaroci, who inserted it, scored with a low shot.

Zero to three.

Rotherham, who was three goals behind, had no hope anymore, and the remaining games became garbage time, and they didn't even want to score a goal to save face.

The game ended with the referee's whistle.
Chapter completed!
