37 temple can not hold a big Buddha

After Christmas, New Manchester United's schedule is full.

First ushered in a Northwest Division B league at home, then went away to challenge Gran Forest, then played away, and then ushered in the first round of the Northwest League Challenger Cup quarterfinals in the middle of the week. In the game, the opponent was an amateur team from the Northwest Super Group.

It was a one-week double match throughout January, which was a test of the physical strength and will of New Manchester United players.

Since Christmas is on Friday, the next Serie B league is scheduled to be held on Sunday. After two days of vacation, New Manchester United's players are still disciplined, and once they return to the team, they do not fall directly. Played the opponent at home 2: 0.

Although they are all amateur teams, New Manchester United has a great advantage in the Northwest Division B, even more than Real Madrid and Barcelona in the La Liga. After all, they are all a group of higher-level players Composition of the team.

New Manchester United, who got a good start after Christmas, went to Nelsworth the next day. This small town in southern England has a population of less than 10,000, plus the first round of the FA Cup is not a big draw. It is noticed that the audience of the whole game was less than a thousand, breaking the lowest attendance since the establishment of New Manchester United.

Moreover, we must know that among the more than 900 spectators, there are 300 people who followed the team from Manchester and traveled south on the bus of the Manchester City Travel Agency.

Due to the small number of local spectators, although there are only three hundred people, the fans of New Manchester United are still showing the masterpieces of enthusiastic fans, turning the entire stadium into a world of New Manchester United.

In the cheers of fans, New Manchester United will beat Glen Forest 3-1 away.

In fact, if purely from the perspective of the player's personal ability, New Manchester United's advantage is not great, or even no advantage, but New Manchester United is very organized in terms of team tactics and play. In contrast, Gran Forest The characteristics of the full amateur team are mainly based on personal performance, and there is no technical or tactical at all.

The gap between the two teams is more reflected in the gap between professional and amateur, so after watching this game, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be complacent. At the beginning of the season, he decided to sign full-time contracts with several main players. What a wise decision!

It is also this game that strengthens Xiao Yu's determination to turn the team into a professional team this year!

After winning, New Manchester United went straight north to Cohen, a town near Burnley, where they faced the Cohen team, ranked No. 4 in the Northwest Division B. This is an amateur team founded in 1996 and has been in the Northwest for two years. The results of the second league are also ups and downs. In the first year, they almost upgraded, but last year they almost relegated. This year's results are good, and there is great hope for upgrading.

According to Cohen's vision, they hope to grab a point at home from New Manchester United so that they can climb to third in the league and reduce the gap to second in the league to two points.

However, despite the long journey, New Manchester United has just experienced a confrontation with a high-level team, but still eliminated Cohen cleanly on the road. The score of 4: 0 showed ruthlessly the gap between the two teams.

However, in the following Northwest League Challenger Cup away game, New Manchester United was beaten by the home team. Finally, relying on the team's tenacious defense, they took away a draw from the away game. The score was as flat as the process. 0 : 0!

Although Bruce and Cassell have formulated a detailed rotation plan, taking into account all factors such as the physical fitness of the players, in fact, New Manchester United has only 19 players, leaving only 17 goalkeepers after deducting two goalkeepers, and then Nothing can take into account all the rotation.

Physically powerful low-back players like Karl Marginson, who lacked rotation players, played three games at a stretch. As a result, in the fourth game, he could hardly run, and cramped before halftime. Substituting him for wasting a substitution quota.

Because of the frequent matches and the excessive physical energy consumption of the players, New Manchester United failed to win the first round of the Northwest League Challenger Cup away game. If the team played in the best form, it would have been the second. The home game of the round is completely meaningless.

Because of this, New Manchester United also began to discuss internally whether it is necessary to abandon certain games, such as the FA Cup, which is impossible to achieve good results, so that players can focus more on the league.

Some people may think that the FA Cup is a single-round knockout match, and chances of winning the strong teams are not small, but in fact, even if New Manchester United passes the second round and enters the third round, it is necessary to face the Premier League and the Premier League. What can the team do?

Contingency can only happen once, it is not accidental!

No one can expect a semi-professional team from the tenth level in England to beat professional teams from the English C, the English B, and even the English Premier League and the English Premier League one after another. That is simply not realistic!

But Steve Bruce apparently didn't see it that way.

"Although it is impossible for us to achieve good results in the FA Cup this year, but I cannot tell my players, as outsiders say, ah, guys, we must keep our strength in the league and the challenger cup. We've given up the FA Cup, we're not kicking, that won't work, what's that? "

Bruce seemed thrilled when Cassel put forward his own opinions when they met at the senior level within New Manchester United.

Since this time, his pressure is also very great, especially he has to take care of the players' emotions.

"Xiao Yu, you told me that you think I can bring something special to your team, remember?" Bruce asked, pointing to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu nodded, of course he could not forget!

"Then I want to say, what I can bring to your team is never give up!"

"My team can be defeated, but we must be defeated standing. We can't admit defeat before the enemy comes. That's not my style, nor the team I lead. style!"

Xiao Yu, Walsh and Casselton were all silent.

Yes, their decision to give up the FA Cup is sane, and should even be said to be very wise, but sometimes football does not need to be wise, let alone sensible!

"My players are in pain now. I know. Look at Carl. He was in a good physical condition before, but he was still trying to get cramps on the field and still insisting. And Jonathan McTen, almost every game. At the end of the game, he may not even have the strength to raise his leg, but he still insists, why? "

Bruce punched his chest with a strong fist. "Just for the faith and love we have for the club in our hearts, we will not give up, and I can't tell my players when they want to persist, tell them that we For some reason, which games we want to give up, in my opinion, that is not wise, that is betrayal, a kind of betrayal to the players! "

"Now, tell me, Xiao Yu, what do you decide to do?"

Xiao Yu stood up, patted Bruce's shoulder, and then laid one hand on Kassel's shoulder, nodding.

"Steve is right, I should reflect, but through today ’s events, I am more certain of one thing, that is, I originally chose you to be the head coach of our club, which is definitely my most wisest Decided, Steve, the club and I will definitely support you! "

Kassel also stood up, looked at Bruce with a smile, and said, "You're right, Steve, that's why I can't be a head coach in my life!"

"Andy, I heard that there is a very famous Chinese medicine practitioner on Faulkner Street. Acupuncture and massage are very good. I think you can take a trip and see if you can invite him to serve our club players ! "

The power of acupuncture and massage in traditional Chinese medicine is something Xiao Yu learned from some Milan laboratories who have seen it in future generations. Including acupuncture and massage, it is just westernized after absorbing the essence of this area.

Today, Xiao Yu cannot set up a large-scale medical research institute such as the Milan Lab. Even the team doctors are only fan doctors at a nearby hospital, so they can only help the team with this headache.

After introducing the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine in traditional physical rehabilitation to the people present, Xiao Yu's proposal to hire a masseur was supported by Bruce and Kassel, and they all held a try mentality.

When Bruce, Kassel, and Walsh all went out, and Xiao Yu was left in the entire office, Xiao Yu's relaxed expression immediately became sad.

In fact, he understands why Bruce is angry. In addition to the reasons he said before, but also because the club has limited his performance whether it is hardware or software, I believe that if he is given sufficient resources, he can Bring better results for the team.

There are only 19 players, many of whom are still part-time, which makes Bruce feel very depressed and ambitious!

In fact, from the moment Xiao Yu first hired Bruce, he already knew that he would not stay with New Manchester United for long, because of his qualifications, his ability, and his proud personality, making He will never be willing to be mediocre.

In other words, even if he is really optimistic about the development prospects of New Manchester United, it will take many years. He can't wait that long. If he is given a choice, I believe that he is more willing to coach an English B or The Premier League team leads them to the Premier League in one or two years.

In addition, Bruce has also started to disclose that this year is his last season as a player. Next season he will concentrate on being his head coach. Of course, the previous question is if he will stay at New Manchester United then!

The temple can't hold a big Buddha!

Although it was only halfway through the season, Xiao Yu had to start to have headaches for things next season! 2k novel reading network
