Chapter 122: Same characteristics, different environments

At the player channel, Tiger immediately saw the object Moyes said he wanted to focus on, Manchester City's offensive core, Georgian Jozell Kinklaze.

Jinklaze is not tall, a little shorter than Tiger, about 1.72 meters, seventy-three, three or four years older than Tiger, and only twenty-five or six years old this year, but he looks very tired and does not have the spirit of Tiger.

Could such a player with a hint of decadence and fatigue be the dangerous person Moyes mentioned?

Of course, Tiger knew that people should not behave like this. After all, he looked so safe and harmless. But now he believed that only players with fighting spirit can perform better on the court, and Maradona, who had no fighting spirit, would be beaten by his opponent on the court so that he would not even lose his scum.

Even if he is very powerful, he can show up to what extent he can do on the court when he is weak and exhausted? What can he learn from him?

Just as Tiger was thinking this way, Jinklaze seemed to notice his gaze, and turned his head and happened to meet Tiger. After feeling the hot fighting spirit in Tiger's eyes, Jinklaze laughed.

When I joined Manchester City, I was probably the age of the young man in front of me? I should have had such a passionate fighting spirit at that time, right?

Before the game, Jin Clarze also watched the Preston game video played by the coach. He did find that the young man has good personal skills and is very similar to himself in many places, which made Jin Clarze start to look forward to this game.

Young man, your team is very outstanding, but it is not that easy to defeat my team...

When the players from both sides entered the court, huge cheers rang out over the Pdale Stadium.

This half season was fantastic for Preston fans, whose team performed well as they expected, which also gave them greater enthusiasm to treat all Preston games.

The on-site commentator reported the names of Preston players one by one in a passionate voice. Whenever he reported the name of a player, he would stop. Then the fans of the court would shout out the player's surname in a thunderous voice. When the last Tiger appeared, the atmosphere in the field had reached its highest point.

"Below, let's welcome our Prince of Preston, the best dancer on the court, Tiger—"

“lee!”

Tiger raised his hands high and signaled to the stands. He enjoyed this feeling very much. The cheers from the audience towards him made him feel that he was the king!

Jin Clazemi raised his eyes. The information he got was that Tiger became the main player of Preston midway last season. Now, judging from the reactions of Preston fans, he is the most popular player - is it just because of his good skills?

"Maybe, this will be a very interesting game!"

Manchester City, who had the kick-off right, launched an attack at the beginning. After two or three passes, the ball was passed to Jin Klaze on the left.

Tiger ran back, he would not participate in the defense, but he could observe Jinklaze's movements.

Thinking of this, Tiger soon realized that he had blamed Jin Kraze wrongly.

Two minutes later, Manchester City launched another attack, and Jinklaze dribbled the ball from the middle and broke through continuously. Finally, with Barrett's interference, he passed a very exquisite pass directly to the unguarded striker Rossler. However, the forward did not shoot directly, but brought it again. This made the original shooting angle blocked, and the hasty shot was finally blocked by two defenders of Preston and blocked it with his body.

Jinklaze waved helplessly, looking at him with unanimous eyes but seemed helpless. Tiger knew why his pass just now was a little careless...

If your beautiful passes are always wasted by your teammates, you will also seem careless when passing the ball...

Tiger couldn't help but feel a little lucky at this time. Although Nogan's strength is not very outstanding, he is a simple shooter, and he can usually score goals that should be scored, and Gott is also such a striker.

"Okay, let's fight back!" Tiger clapped his hands and shouted loudly. Kidd, who was holding the ball, immediately passed the ball to Barrett in the middle, and then Barrett passed it directly to Tiger at the first time!

Tiger stopped the ball at his feet, paused against a midfielder who was forced by Manchester City, then pulled the ball back and dodged the opponent's outstretched foot, then pushed the ball horizontally from behind his left foot, and then wading through the opponent's body with his left heel, and then rushed over from the opponent's side!

Jinklaze, who was slowly running back, saw this scene, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.

This kid...the way of breaking through is exactly the same as that of himself!

After getting rid of the midfielder who was forced by the opponent, Tiger continued to dribble the ball forward, and Manchester City's overall defense line fought and retreated. However, Tiger did not continue to lead the ball, but passed the ball to Ridell in the front right, and then stepped forward by himself.

Tiger's sprint speed increased again when he passed another defensive player. When he passed by another defensive player, Ridell had already passed the ball back to his feet in due time.

Tiger did not stop the ball, but directly passed the ball to Brian who was a little behind on the left. Brian stopped the ball and saw no one coming to defend. He immediately took a cross from the left foot at a forty-five-degree angle and sent the ball into the penalty area!

Nogan accelerated and threw away the central defender who was guarding him and rushed to the top!

Amid the cheers of Preston fans, the ball flew into Manchester City's penalty area, then hit the crossbar heavily and flew out of the baseline.

A sigh of disappointment rang out from the stands, and then applause rang out.

Nogan shook his head regretfully, then turned around and gave Brian and Tiger thumbs up respectively. Tiger ran back while laughing relaxedly.

Jinklaze looked at this scene from afar and suddenly became a little envious of Tiger.

I envy his youth, his vitality, and most importantly, I envy him for having these teammates...

"goal! Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! Gorge! Gorge! Gorge! Tenth league goal this season! He has scored a double-digit goal before half of the league! He can assist and score, and he is the symbol of victory! Gentlemen and ladies, what else can we say when facing such an excellent Tiger?"

The commentator on the scene gave all the praises to Tiger, and the Preston fans in the stands even cheered from the bottom of their hearts!

Time goes back to a minute ago.

"Stop that guy!" Manchester City's head coach shouted loudly off the court. He was looking at the figure who was rushing left and right on the court and bleeding was about to drip in his eyes - when was there such a breakthrough crazy in the League One who was not inferior to Jin Klaze?

Tiger still controls the ball easily among the double-teams of three Manchester City players. He not only controls the ball on the spot, but also conflicts everywhere aggressively, finding a way to break through.

It has been a long time since he broke through under so many teams. Most of the time, when the opponent's superior forces have not yet formed an encirclement, he will pass the ball to his teammates who are receiving it. However, today, perhaps because of Jin Kraze's breakthrough, he began to show his personal skills on the court!

Perhaps because he has not made every effort to break through during this period, Tiger didn't know that his breakthrough skills have reached a level that is better than before - it seems that the ball control value increased before the season has begun to be gradually exerted!

Among the three-person double-team, Tiger still found a breakthrough route and rushed through two Manchester City players who had not had time to close!

"He broke through!" the live commentator shouted in a voice comparable to Pavarotti.

After the breakthrough, Tiger did not continue to dribble the ball, but directly passed the ball to Gott at the front of the penalty area. Then he stepped forward. Gott did not hesitate anymore, turned around and raised his foot and stuffed the ball into the penalty area!

Tiger inserted, received the ball, and faced the goalkeeper directly!

Tiger's shooting ability is indeed not as good as Jin Kraze, but his shot in the penalty area is quite good...

Facing the goalkeeper who was attacking, Tiger suddenly shot while running. The Manchester City goalkeeper's save rhythm was completely interrupted by Tiger. When he fell to the ground in a hurry, the ball had already flew past his armpit and flew directly into the goal!

One to zero, Tiger helped Preston score the first record!

Jinklaze took a deep breath.

Breakthrough from the three-man double-team, Jin Kraze believed that he had the same ability! But after breaking through, he passed the ball out, then inserted it himself, and then his teammates were able to send a good ball as soon as possible... Jin Kraze never enjoyed this environment.

Most of the time, he passed the ball forward after breaking through, but his teammates did not pass the ball back, but shot it out or dribbled it. He missed it like this...

Manchester City has also been in frequent personnel flow in recent seasons. Jin Klaze does not have the kind of teammates who can play together for a long time. In this regard, Jin Klaze has received not as much help as Tiger has received!

Although Preston is just a small team, the first thing Moyes did after taking office was to establish Tiger's core position and persisted. Over the past year, Tiger and his teammates have cooperated well. Most of the time, he is willing to sacrifice his data to create opportunities for his teammates, and his teammates naturally reciprocate, which gives Preston's current harmonious atmosphere and fluent offensive and defensive rhythm!

As Moyes said, maybe Jin Clazer is better than Tiger now, but the team he is in is not a whole! No matter how outstanding he is, can he get rid of all his opponents and score? Even if he can, can he always do this?

Passing is always wasted, so Jin Klaze has to take more and more solo work. More and more, it is easier to be targeted by the opponent with the number of players, and Manchester City's scoring ability is greatly reduced... This has become a vicious cycle. The more outstanding Jin Klaze's personal performance, the worse Manchester City's performance is!

What about Tiger? When his performance is bleak, the entire team's offense is not too bad, because he uses his passes to make his teammates perform better, and when he breaks out, Preston's performance will become better!

Jin Kraze was a little envious of Tiger, who was two or three years younger than him, which made sense.

In Manchester City's first season, Jin Klaze conquered the entire Premier League with his own skills, but Manchester City was relegated. In Manchester City's second season, Jin Klaze scored the most goals in a single season in his career, but Manchester City was in the middle. Now it's his third season at Manchester City. Jin Klaze was injured for a while, but Manchester City fell into the relegation zone...

Some players seem to be born with a hint of tragic color - character determines destiny.

If it were Tiger now, in an environment like Manchester City, he would definitely yell at his teammates who had wasted opportunities and scolded his teammates who were not playing well - because he must win now! He is almost victorious and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even if the coach said that this season is mainly about training the team, he was thinking, "Since we have the opportunity to enter the Premier League, why not enter?"

But now, Jin Kraze will only smile helplessly when his teammates waste his pass, and when he is in a siege and no one is receiving the ball, and when he is considered a cancer of the team and is put on the bench...

Character determines destiny.

In the remaining time of the first half, although Jin Klaze rushed left and right to help equalize the score, he was closely defended by Preston players. On the left, Barrett made a place to assist Tagat in defense. In the middle, Barrett and Brian Ridell who returned to defense defended together. On the right, Kidd and two midfielders attacked him...not giving him a breakthrough route and cutting off the connection between him and his teammates. Even if he dodged a long shot at the front of the penalty area, Preston players would block his shot with their chests regardless of their own efforts...

Just like a tiger falling into a trap, despite roaring and struggling, he could only sink deeper and deeper in this quagmire and struggle powerlessly.

Tiger sometimes retreats to help defend. As a player whose extraordinary characteristics are quite close to Jinklaze, although his defensive ability is average, he can better understand Jinklaze's ideas. His existence also poses a great threat to Jinklaze's breakthrough.
