Chapter 117: Those who underestimate me have paid the price!

After Preston took the advantage of two goals, the fans of Preston originally thought that the overall situation was decided. After all, Preston had not yet been turned around by his opponent while leading two goals, and often after falling behind two goals in the low-level game, the opponent gave up the game. However, in the next ten minutes of the first half, Swinton launched a fierce attack!

The entire formation almost exceeded halftime, and ignored the vast open space in the backcourt. All the players except the two central defenders had already pressed into Preston's halftime and kept attacking back and forth. They didn't have much offensive means. They just kept hitting two sides, creating opportunities for the forwards in the penalty area after forming an impact on the wing - most English League One teams have this tactic.

Since this offensive tactic is very common, Preston has a lot of experience in dealing with it. Preston's central defender combination is very suitable for this kind of offense. There is a Squires who is over 1.9 meters tall in the high altitude point. He is a typical British central defender. Although he turns slowly, he has a good ability to judge the landing point and compete for the first point. Jackson is more flexible. His courage also makes him never show weakness when competing for the first place.

Swinton made a lot of crosses, but most of them failed to form an attack. Some flew to the other side, some flew out of the baseline, and some returned to the front of Preston's penalty area.

Originally, this kind of ball would be the opportunity for Preston to launch a counterattack, but unlike before, whenever the ball flew out of the penalty area and fell at the feet of Preston's players, Swinton's players did not return to defense, but instead pressed wildly in the frontcourt!

At this time, Swinton had a blockbuster gap in the half, but their pressing left Preston's players without the time to pass the lead.

In this case, most of the Preston players chose to pass the ball directly to the more reliable Tiger, and Tiger did not disappoint them. Although they did not participate in the defense, Tiger always appeared in their field of vision when they took the ball.

However, this caused great trouble to Tiger. Although it was in his half, Tiger would always encounter at least two people's attacks and presses! Moreover, these guys were very active. As long as Tiger controlled the ball, they would immediately rush up and foul!

The whistle sounded frequently in Preston's half, but it was not them who fouled, but Swinton!

"Damn!" Tiger climbed up from the ground in depression. As soon as he got the ball, he was pushed by the opponent and chewed the mud. Although he got a free kick from the backcourt, he could not counterattack.

"Did these guys move the battlefield forward?" Tiger recalled what had just happened, and then he realized the other party's intentions.

"Just, can this stop our attack?"

Tiger's brain is indeed very flexible, but this may be related to the reason why he racked his brains to think about the opponent's flaws every moment in the main god space. He soon thought of the disadvantages of the opponent's oppressive tactics in the frontcourt.

The specific implementation of this front-field oppression is similar to the previous opponent's previous style of playing heavy troops in the backcourt, focusing on himself from having time to control the ball, but the battlefield has changed from the opponent's half to the original half. The opponents he encountered after two consecutive victories this season use this method to deal with him. Later, his solution was to quickly get out the ball to get rid of the opponent's attack, making the opponent's attack become useless.

Now this situation seems to be able to be cracked in this way.

It turns out that there are all kinds of beards and scissors to deal with them.

Thinking of this, Tiger laughed.

No matter how many people there are on the court, it is impossible to fill up such a huge field space. Even if the twenty-two people on both sides are all in the half, there is no possibility of crowding people. At most, this situation will happen in the local area. As long as you observe the position of your teammates before receiving the ball, it is entirely possible to shoot the ball with one kick.

Preston's next attack was resolved by Swinton, and Swinton took the opportunity to counterattack, but their cross from the wing was pushed out by Jackson. Barrett, who got the ball, passed it directly to Tiger without thinking.

Before receiving the ball, Tiger observed three pass routes. When two Swinton players hit him, Tiger had already poked the ball to Nogan in front of him with a toe!

Swinton's players were stunned at the same time, and took this opportunity to rush out from the two, then received a return pass from Nogan.

"Return to defense--" Swinton's head coach shouted loudly on the sidelines. Swinton's players ran desperately into the half-court as if they were awakened from a dream, which barely stopped Preston's attack with a significant acceleration in the pace of the pace.

After seeing that Tiger touched the ball with one kick and passed it out the next two times, Swinton's head coach knew that his tactical idea was ruined again.

The problem is... Moyes had previously considered that this situation occurred and formulated a policy to deal with it in advance, or was it a judgment made by Tiger on the court? He observed it off the court and finally came up with such a targeted tactic. Tiger played football on the court so quickly, which is too exaggerated!

Thinking of this, coach Swinton felt a little chilled - although it was not very cold now - in intense games, players often cannot think too much. They only do things based on instincts and the tactics formulated by the coach before the game. In this case, players who can still keep a calm mind and accurately judge are often players with leadership temperament on the court - because they can lead the team out of difficulties with the most direct sense!

Just like Maradona of the Napoli era, he was almost more important than the head coach in the locker room. Often, he discussed with several important players and the starting lineup came out. Being able to do this, in addition to his strong enough strength and prestige, being able to find the opponent's flaws on the court and lead the team to victory is one of the biggest factors for him to have this privileged position!

Being a head coach on the court is much more difficult than being an off-court head coach!

Do we still have a chance to win if such a player is in the opponent's team?

"They changed their tactics for a time and used the frontcourt pressing tactics to cause some trouble to us, but now I think their tactics can no longer pose too much threat to us, right?"

In the locker room, Moyes looked at the players with a smile. After hearing him say this, the other players looked at Tiger at the same time and nodded at the same time.

"If they continue to press the ball in the frontcourt, everyone should pay attention to Tiger's actions and strive to avoid making mistakes when receiving his pass! The essence of press ball in the frontcourt is to intercept the ball while the opponent is unstable in the situation of the opponent's foothold and launch an attack again. As long as we are not intercepted by them, even if we advance slowly, the advantage will be on our side!"

Moyes said firmly: "Since they want to compete with us whose offense is better, then we will compare with them! Let's see if they score more goals or more goals!"

Moyes' words were very confident and a little arrogant, but they were unusually in line with the appetites of Preston players...

Because of this sentence, the tone of this game was set.

Attack! Attack! Attack again!

Both sides almost gave up defense at the same time and focused more on offense. Needless to say, Preston's offense, since Moyes took office, they attacked the opponent's half-time more times than the opponent's own half-time. However, Swinton, who mainly targeted defensive counterattacks, also frequently pushed forward, which made the commentators shout "I can't understand"...

Swinton, who took the lead in the attack, scored two goals in the second half. However, in the game of comparative goals, they still lost. Preston scored three goals in the second half, Gott scored twice, and Ridell added icing on the cake. Tiger contributed two direct assists to complete the assist hat trick in this game.

Five-to-two! Preston beat Swinton at home! This game is also the second most goals Swinton has conceded so far this season. If it weren't for the fact that he had lost 0-6 away to Manchester City, this game would have nailed Swinton to the shameful post again!

After winning this game, Preston rose to fourth place with 34 points. Swindon, who lost this game, slipped to seventh place. Nottingham Forest is still the top spot. Although they lost 1-3 away to Manchester City, which has recovered from form, lost the first game of the season, the record of 14 wins, three draws and one loss still makes them stand out in the standings, leading second-ranked Middlesbrough by as many as six points, while Sunderland, third-ranked only one point ahead of Preston, and four points behind Middlesbrough.

Now that the season is approaching the mid-term, winning one game and losing one game may not have much impact on the ranking, but it is the best time to consolidate your position and make a forward-looking ranking.

Victory needs to be fought one by one. Preston encountered some troubles before, but they were solving these troubles one by one. When these troubles never happen again, they are truly mature!

"Maybe, we really have the ability to enter the Premier League this season!"

This thought flicked Moyes' mind as he watched the players cheering and celebrating this brilliant victory.

Although his idea is to accumulate a season and then compete for the Premier League next season, this is just an idea. Who knows what will happen in a year? Who knows whether a player will be seduced by Premier League teams? Besides, Preston's outstanding performance is basically based on Tiger's performance. He is the cornerstone of Preston's offensive and defensive rhythm, and the contract for this cornerstone is only two years left! He will only have a one-year contract before the start of next season! What should he do if he is unwilling to waste time in the League One? Do he need to spend another year or two to accumulate strength?

If you can enter the Premier League this season, then you will have the confidence to stay Tiger. At the same time, as long as you are more lucky, grab more points, and stay in the Premier League for one more year, you will attract some outstanding players and then use a few years of operation to attack higher goals. Isn’t that better?

Thinking of this, Moyes took a deep breath, successfully advanced to the Super League in one year and successfully advanced to the Super League in one year! I thought it was rash and thought it was whimsical, but looking at Preston's current appearance, wouldn't there be a chance? No!

The next game against Premier League team Crystal Palace is a good opportunity to test Preston’s quality!

Crystal Palace is one of the three new teams in the League One this season. They entered the Premier League through the playoffs. However, this season's Premier League is a nightmare for new teams. It has played for more than a dozen rounds, and Crystal Palace has only won four games. The results of Bolton and Barnsley are also ugly. Now their three teams are neatly ranked last three in the standings, and they are very stunning.

So Crystal Palace doesn't value this League Cup game at all. They sent most of the main players, one of the important signings this season, and former Italian international Lombardo, who was introduced from Italy Juventus, also sat on the bench.

However, although most of the substitutes came on the bench, Crystal Palace also felt that winning this game was not too difficult - Crystal Palace, whose energy was attracted by the Premier League relegation, had no intention of caring about the League One, even though they played in the League One last season.

The Crystal Palace, who has almost forgotten that there is still investigating opponent information, simply think that a team of new teams in the League One should not pose any threat to them. After all, they performed very well in the League One last season, and most of the mid- and lower-level teams were defeated by them. Even if they sent a lot of substitutes, they could defeat this team that was once brilliant but now declining...

Thinking of this, Crystal Palace quickly paid a heavy price.

Just three minutes into the opening game, Tiger left Selhurst Park Stadium silent!

When Tiger got the ball in the middle, only one player forced him up. Seeing this, Tiger laughed in his heart.

It has been a long time since he met his ball when he was holding the ball on the court, and there was only a defensive player who was three meters away around him. In the late stage of the League Two, he became a nightmare for the League Two players as soon as he got the ball. In the League One field, he was also a dangerous person who scared everyone as soon as he got the ball. The opponent tried every means to reduce the number of times he took the ball to reduce the threat to his side...

And now, there is only a casual guy running up to defend himself! The Premier League team is really cool...

Tiger decided to use his performance to teach the opponent a lesson, so he did not pass the ball, but drove the ball up.

Seeing Tiger breaking forward, Brian and Ridell immediately left and right, stretched the distance between themselves and Tiger a little, and also pulled the opponent's personnel a little apart. Now, except for one player who rushed up, there was only another player left in front of Tiger.

As for the two central defenders in the penalty area, there are naturally two forwards to restrain them.

With the ball under his feet, Tiger approached the Crystal Palace player. Seeing his movements, the opponent's expression became solemn. At least he could see that Tiger was very skilled in ball control.

But he also realized that Tiger's movements were not fast and he could have enough reaction time.

After approaching the opponent, Tiger's right shoulder sank, and he pushed the ball under his feet, breaking through from the left!

At this time, the frequency of Tiger's breakthrough was the same as before. The opponent's center of gravity shifted to his right, but he was still wary of Tiger's sudden change of direction.

Tiger indeed changed direction, but despite his mental preparation, he still couldn't react, because Tiger's rhythm suddenly doubled compared to before, and quickly dribbled the ball back with one stroke and one dribble, and then dribbled the ball through the right side!

In just a moment, Tiger broke through a defensive player!

When the second player came to fill the position, Tiger's speed slowed down without warning, and the opponent slowed down unconsciously. Then he encountered the same situation as the previous defensive player. When Tiger suddenly accelerated, he also watched Tiger rush past him!

"Damn, this simple action can actually surpass two people!"

The impatient Crystal Palace fans in the stands cursed. If the two Crystal Palace fans who were shook by Tiger heard the shouts, they would definitely die unjustly...

Originally, Crystal Palace's defensive power was attracted by other Preston players. Now the two were broken through by Tiger in one breath, and there was a huge gap in their defense line!

When everyone was not aware of it, Gott and Nogan let go, and the two big guys immediately blocked the two central defenders of Crystal Palace on the outside and kept the middle lane out.

Tiger naturally would not miss such an excellent opportunity. He accelerated and rushed directly into the penalty area from the middle. Then, facing the hasty Crystal Palace goalkeeper, he leisurely pushed a far corner.

"goal! Tiger - Lee! One to zero! Preston led the Premier League team Crystal Palace away!"

After scoring this goal, Tiger raised his right hand high, then clenched his fist and waved it down hard!

Do you underestimate me? Those who underestimate me have paid the price! In the future, I will not let anyone underestimate you!
