Chapter 28 Skills Explosion, Team Flaws (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

This shit is not even small change, how can it be called gold?
After a closer look, it turned out to be the media from Westfield.

Not only did he break the rules by finding bounty players, but he also filed a complaint first?

If we meet this kind of team again next time, we must let Barton perform well.

But what this media said is actually not wrong.

Although Lu Kai tried his best to control expenses, the team barely made a profit this season, but it will definitely be in deficit next season.

Even if we can get sponsorship in the summer, it won’t be enough.

unless……

Get the FA Cup!

As an important event under the English Football Association, although it is only the lowest level cup among the three cups, the prize money is as high as 30,000 pounds!
This is definitely a huge sum of money for a ninth-level team!
Enough to help them achieve class transition.

Statistics show that the probability of a team winning the FA Cup being promoted to the next level in the next three years is 95%, and the probability of being promoted to the next level is 23%!
There have been cases of three consecutive promotions!
"Oh my god! So your initial goal was to win the FA Cup?" Jiang Mengyun realized belatedly why Lu Kai wanted to strengthen the team during the winter break.

The championship bonus is the real key to the team's survival!

Alfred was also shocked, but he soon laughed: "Okay, that's good! A player who doesn't want to win the championship is not a good chairman!"

"I told Ferguson back then that our goal shouldn't just be to finish in the league, but to knock Liverpool off their damn throne!"

Lu Kai suddenly looked up at Alfred.

This……

This famous quote... Did Ferguson copy Ah Pang, or did Ah Pang copy Ferguson?
It's impossible that Sir Alex Ferguson is actually your Alfred's F?

Big bang, big bang!

Skills of different levels will add different attribute points when they are first acquired, but only one point will be added when they are acquired the second time.

Level 5 is the highest.

Lu Kai's [Basic Steal] has reached the highest level.

As for [Basic Confrontation], this improvement is applicable to players in any position.

Whether in basketball or football, many low-level star players fail once they go to high-level leagues because their competitive ability is too poor.

If you don't face any competition, you are the king of football; if you face any competition, you become a caddy.

Three days later, it was Kent Premier League match day.

Dartford host Littlehampton.

Ashley Young returned from injury, Lu Kai returned to the attacking midfielder position, with Barton and Kailo as double defensive midfielders.

Eastwood continued to perform well in this game. He first created chaos with a header during a corner attack, leading to Barton's volley and goal.

Then at the last moment, he received a cross from Lu Kai in the penalty area and pushed the ball into the goal, completing his pass and scoring in consecutive games.

In addition, Eastwood's header was saved, but was then scored by Lu Kai.

Ashley Young cut in and shot, and also scored on his own.

The team eventually defeated their opponents 4-2. After this round of matches, Dartford moved up one step further in the standings, ranking fifth in the league and officially entering the promotion zone!

A week later, it’s still the Kent Premier League.

Dartford beat their opponents Farnham City 3-2. Their firepower was fierce, but their defensive weaknesses were also exposed.

The Green Guns once led by two goals, but were equalized by the opponent within five minutes.

In the final moments, thanks to To Madera's counterattack cross and Lu Kai's header at the back post, the team won three points, the same as the fourth place in the league.

The good news is that the points difference from first to fifth in the league is very small.

With four rounds left in the league, the fourth and fifth place teams may also win the championship.

The bad news is that Dartford's opponents in the final four rounds include Horndean and Metropolitan Police, who are ranked first and fourth in the league respectively.

Meanwhile, Dartford's weaknesses are being studied by the remaining four teams.

The Kent Post published a professional tactical analysis, which detailed several major problems in Dartford's defense.

You're right, you hit the nail on the head.

Emily heard from a friend in the same industry that this analysis was done by the head coaching team of Westfield's first team in the sixth tier.

The purpose is to stop Dartford.

It is said that their three first-team players were injured in the match against Dartford, which affected the next few rounds of games. They are currently lagging behind in points and are at risk of being relegated from the sixth-tier league.

This was not beyond Lu Kai's expectations. After all, the players needed to find their confidence at the ninth level. How strong could they be?

Only those who are unhappy with their lives like to bully weaker opponents. The real strong ones are always climbing to the top and challenging stronger opponents!

[The team is on a winning streak, and you've gained... a critical hit...]

阔气！

Two bronze skills were revealed at once, and both were new.

In football matches, long passes mainly serve a scheduling purpose, because the field is so large that it is difficult for players to be evenly distributed in front, behind, left and right.

Dartford's tactics took full advantage of this.

Ashley Young drew his opponent on the left before passing the ball to Tomas Madeira on the right.

But the problem is that long passes are generally high and slow.

By the time the ball fell to To Madera's feet, all the opposing players had moved over, making the tactical purpose of the surprise attack impossible.

The same applies to launching surprise attacks with long passes from the backfield.

But [Low-altitude long pass] solves this problem.

This type of pass is extremely fast and can fully utilize the advantages of the speed players in the frontcourt.

Of course, this kind of pass also has its disadvantages... low altitude means the flight trajectory is relatively low, and the football can be easily destroyed by the opponent during the first half of the flight.

The overhead kick is the most popular and coolest shooting action in football, no doubt about it.

Once it is completed, it becomes a classic.

However, this type of shot carries certain risks, with many people injuring themselves after hitting the ball with a hook. There have even been horrific cases of cervical fractures.

For non-professional players, it means death if you try it.
