The first tumor in football

Chapter 47 I think his ball protection ability is a little bit lacking
2 month 9 day.

Noon.

The sky above Norfolk was foggy and not a single ray of sunshine could penetrate.

There was a heavy snowfall last night, but although the temperature is still very low, there is no snow on the main roads.

Fans of Norwich City in Norfolk have arrived on the streets early, ready to welcome their arch-rivals from the next town!
Six days of verbal battles have really aroused the anger of Norwich fans.

When the Ipswich team bus pulled into Norwich, there were tons of eggs.

This is despite the local police already struggling to maintain order, and they even just confiscated a homemade Molotov cocktail.

"Norwich fans are so passionate."

Song Wen was sitting in the bus, waving and smiling at the fans outside through the window glass, which attracted an even more intense wave of rotten egg attacks.

McGoldrick stood up, switched seats with Song Wen, and sat by the window.

"Be careful Song, this glass is not bulletproof."

Douglas, who was sitting in the last row, looked gloomy and said sarcastically:
"Hey McGoldrick, is this guy your master?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Song Wen could attack, McCarthy stood up and pointed at Douglas' nose and cursed:
"If you say another word, get off this car now!"

Douglas's face twisted, but in the end he didn't dare to challenge the coach in person and turned his head away.

It’s not that Douglas was scared, but his good friend Pittman found him two days ago and said that he heard that the top management had already drafted a contract with him, and the renewal salary did not seem to be affected by the conflict between him and Song Wen, so he asked him to be patient for a few more days.

Although Douglas' agent had communicated with other teams before, he did not get an offer that satisfied Douglas.

The winter transfer window will close in a few days, and if Pittman does not deceive himself, then staying in Ipswich seems to be a good choice.

As for whether Pittman would deceive himself?

of course not.

They have been best friends since they arrived in Ipswich.

Douglas kept muttering to himself that as long as the contract was signed, he would sooner or later teach McCarthy, the ungrateful old man, a lesson.

He originally just wanted to earn more money without doing anything. After all, he is already at that age. Even if he is benched for two years because of a conflict with his coach, it is a paid vacation, which will make him happier.

The team bus slowly drove into Carrow Road Stadium. At this time, in the conference room of Carrow Road Stadium, the Norwich team was holding the final meeting before the game.

Head coach Neil attached great importance to this game and even made a special video, analyzing and explaining the game at the same time, appearing extremely serious.

"Holahan, what did you find from Song Wen's passing and shooting just now?"

Hoolahan is the captain of Norwich and, like Song Wen, plays as an attacking midfielder.

This player from Ireland is an Irish international with superb footwork. He is also the team's most valuable player at the moment.

Hearing Neil's question, Holahan spoke directly:

"He is a right-footed player. He uses his left foot to pass and shoot zero times. And when he breaks through, he also likes to break through from the right side."

Holahan paused, thought for a moment and added: "He has a very unbalanced ability with his left and right feet."

In football, players use different feet to kick, pass, shoot, and so on according to their personal habits.

Right-footed players are those who mainly use their right foot for these actions, while left-footed players are those who mainly use their left foot for these actions. This classification is based on the player's personal kicking habits and skills, because most people develop the habit of using one foot as their primary kicking foot during their growth. Knowing the opponent's dominant foot can make it easier to defend.

In addition to these, there are two very rare types of athletes.

One type is players without a weak foot. They can pass the ball and shoot with both feet very easily. This not only allows them to have more room to move, but also causes great trouble to defensive players.

Another type is the double reverse football player.

This type of player is even rarer than a player without any defensive skills. It seems as if their two legs are not their own, and the ball is out of control whether it is with their left foot or right foot.

For example, the famous domestic player Gao Lin is a typical player with two inverse feet and a non-dominant head.

Hearing Holahan's answer, Neil nodded and continued:

"Song Wen's physical fitness is very poor. In this game, he will definitely be replaced by old man McCarthy as a surprise player. All of Ipswich's offensive capabilities now come from Song Wen. There is no need to be afraid of him in the first half. So Murphy, I will let you come on as a substitute in this game and keep your physical strength where it is most useful!"

Murphy is also a midfielder, and in the Norwich lineup, apart from Hoolahan, Murphy is the player that coach Neil values ​​most, especially his performance on the defensive end, which has been very eye-catching recently.

As Neil's direct player, Murphy naturally had no objection to Holahan's arrangement.

Neil looked at the other players again and said:

"Song Wen is a very cunning player, but his body is his fatal flaw! As long as you see him dribbling the ball, two people will rush forward to press him. If he wants to break through, you can foul him without hesitation! His body can't stand too strong a confrontation! We must win this game today, at all costs!"

Amid the players' excited cheers, Neil put his hands in his pockets, exuding confidence.

This state continued until the 90th minute before the start of the game.

When Neil saw Win song's name appearing directly in the starting lineup, he finally pulled his hand out of his pocket.

And on the other side is the Celestial Empire.

Fan Zhiyi has also opened the live broadcast room.

"Brothers, we meet again! Today we are still going to have a game in the English Championship. Those who understand will understand, so I won't say much."

Fans flocked into the live broadcast room, and soon they discovered that today's guest was not Zhan Jun from the previous game.

But it’s Li Yi!

[Fuck? Emperor Li Yi is here? ]

【It’s hard to stretch. 】

[Just a joke, I actually met Li Yi in a place other than Li Yi Bar! ]

[What? Pass it on, Fan Zhiyi invited Henry to live stream! ]

Fan Zhiyi asked Li Yi with a smile: "Hey, have you paid attention to Song Wen recently? What do you think of this young man's football playing?"

Li Yi thought about it and replied:
"His speed, jumping and passing are all pretty good. Many people say that his physical fitness is not good enough, but I actually have a different opinion."

Fan Zhiyi became interested: "Oh? What do you think?"

Li Yi pursed his lips and said:

"I think his ability to protect the ball is a little bit lacking."
