Chapter 12 Friendly Match and Six Middle Fingers
On July 16, Jig Lane Stadium ushered in its debut after Burley's relegation. There were only more than 1,000 people watching the game in the stadium, which could accommodate more than 10,000 people, but there was nothing to do with it. The friendly match with the British and African League teams was indeed nothing to watch.
As a die-hard fan of Burleigh for decades, Kowell still serves as Burleigh's voluntary commentator, but he found that his enthusiasm for Burleigh was declining, relegated, replaced the chairman, fired the head coach, and signed up a group of children and Gaza, who was ridiculed by the media. These factors prevent him from maintaining his original passion. Football is an exciting competitive sports event. Without passion, who would still insist on watching the game?
Sitting on the commentary stage, the sun was still hot at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Cowell's fat body, more than 300 pounds, kept sweating under the sunlight, like a lump of fat meat emitting oil sitting on the commentary stage, which made people disgusting...
"This is Burleigh's first friendly match since the new season. We should... try to look forward to Burleigh returning to Class B." The weak and passionate commentary did not drive the atmosphere of the fans at the scene. In the hot weather, the fans looked even more lazy.
"Our new president this season did not bring any surprises. On the contrary, his signings worried us, Ashley, Moodsack, Lass, Nasri, Vermullen, none of the five players joining Burleigh over 20 years old, which made me feel that Burleigh began to become less like a team with determination to upgrade..."
"To be honest, I don't want to hit our own team at all, but look at the starting lineup after Mr. Chairman fired Andy, which makes us have to think about some bad things that might happen... Goalkeeper Greengarner, left back Tom Kennedy, center back Sworth and Vermullen, right back Simon Wheelley, midfielder Gardelli Cornell and Martin Forrest, left side is Ashley, right side is Harpal Singer from Leeds, and our genius on the front line is still ours, David Nugent and George Clegg."
"To be honest with this lineup... there is no difference between Andy's starting lineup, the only difference is that this transfer has joined, and Vermullen and Ashley have joined."
On the court, Burleigh player who had just stood in his position suddenly began to turn his head and stare at Cowell. Such voluntary commentary for fans is generally very biased. Why did he suddenly start to belittle Burleigh today?
"Young guys, don't stare at me, I have no objection to you, I just doubt whether Burley Club still has ambitions..."
Richard really wanted to kick Cowell down from the commentary stage, but he couldn't do this. Fans need a process to accept the new team, and accepting the new boss requires a process. This process is to keep winning games.
"Hey! What are you doing? The competition is about to begin. Where are you bastards looking? Are there any girl who is not wearing clothes on the commentary stage? Even if that girl is, can you do this tonnage? Let me be serious!!!"
Richard's roar immediately dispelled the players' anger and began to show relaxed smiles one by one. Ashley, who was approaching the commentary station, raised his middle finger at the fat Cowell and said firmly: "Your mouth cannot determine our destiny!"
They must be used to playing in different voices, otherwise how can they play away in the future?
As the whistle sounded, Burley, who had not won the ball, immediately started to defend, which was a routine they had practiced countless times.
Mercambi's player had just passed the ball to the front of the penalty area. Gardli immediately fell to the ground and snatched it with a fierce shovel. Mercambi player Danip Rescott, who got the ball, never thought of protecting the ball. He was just an amateur player, and his main business was a pastry chef. He quickly gave up football with such a fierce shovel. He didn't want to sit in a wheelchair and make cakes in the second half of the year... What's more, what's the amateur team fighting with a professional team that has just been relegated to the English League Two? Is it useful?
After breaking the ball, Gardli quickly transferred the football. After Martin received the ball, he quickly divided the side. The whole process ended. When the ball reached Ashley's feet, fifteen seconds had passed, and the game was just fifteen seconds!
Cowell was like a deadly commentator: "Our Burley team defended passively under the attack of Mercambi. Can defense win the game? I really don't... intercept the ball? I intercepted the ball so quickly?"
"It was Ashley who received the ball. Ashley, who was only eighteen years old, was busy dribbling the ball forward, and the opponent's full-back quickly posted it up..."
bump!
A muffled sound came from the court, and the football was passed high by Ashley. At that moment, David Nugent, who had been close to the central defender of Mercambi, jumped up like a habitual reaction, and headed heavily towards his eleven o'clock. He knew that someone would definitely be waiting there.
George!!!
"It's George, the former captain of Manchester United's youth team, appeared in the right place, single shot!"
George Clegg had only one sentence in his mind, and Richard's sarcastic voice shook his mind: "If you want Ferguson to regret letting you go, you can only score goals continuously!! Scoring goals is the only way to get Ferguson's regretful gaze!"
When he dribbled the ball at the front of the penalty area, his eyes were wide, and the defender who was chasing him was at least five meters away. The goalkeeper in front of him had already abandoned the goal and attacked!
George kicked the ball in the penalty area when the goalkeeper of Mercampby was about to rush towards him.
Without the sound of heavy guns, he was born in Manchester United and not only shot vigorously, but also shot with a way to shoot. The moment the football was raised high, Cowell finally became passionate: "Shoot!!!"
The football drew a rainbow and bounced over the goalkeeper's head to the net!
Beep!!!!!!
The goal is valid!!!
"The ball is in!!!" Kewell shouted loudly. He had never seen such a fast counterattack. Almost all Burleigh players practiced this tactic to their core, otherwise it would not have been possible to perform so happily: "Twenty-seven seconds, just 27 seconds into the game, Burleigh led 1:0! Who can tell me what the fastest goal record of the English CPC? Is it a friendly match considered the fastest goal record?"
George did not celebrate wildly, but ran all the way to the stands. At this time, Cowell was still admiring him: "The magical George, it was him who allowed us to see hope again..."
Middle finger!
George raised his middle finger to the commentary stand again...
Cowell did not make any sound as if he had eaten a fly.
Then George began to celebrate, jumped up wildly, and gave Richard two thumbs up at the coach's seat.
Richard praised without hesitation: "George, you are the one who should make Ferguson regret the most. Let the whole of Manchester cry because of losing you!"
...
The ball was kicked out again, this time Mercambi learned to be smart. They began to divide the ball into the side and dribbled from the side to the bottom line. Jon Sand appeared on the side position. After receiving the ball, he kicked the ball with a big foot. The Mercambi forward in the penalty area was already waiting to get the ball to the top.
bump!
Vermall jumped fiercely, and the opponent's forward Stephen Grant broke out of the small penalty area with the ball.
Grant stopped when he was hit near the penalty spot. He was about to find the referee to argue that when he was fouled, Vermullen shouted in bad English: "This is my chassis, my territory!!"
"For the strong point grabbing, Vermullen is actually experienced and ruthless who is not in line with age. The competition just now can only remind me of one sentence, that is, the 'no-fly zone'. Vermullen will definitely be able to build the penalty area into a no-fly zone without any aerial threat!"
Hapal received the ball on the sideline and did not let the ball go out of the sideline. Then he ran forward non-stop along the sideline.
Leeds' youth training is definitely the top in England. Hapar has developed a speed that others cannot catch up with under the Leeds youth training. At the moment when he grabs the opponent's fullback, he almost changes direction and then unscrupulously penetrates the bottom line.
In one second, two seconds, he was waiting for his teammates to receive the support. The central defender's backup defense made him unable to enter the penalty area calmly. He didn't want to force the central defender to foul near the corner flag. When the full-back did not run back and there was only one central defender in the penalty area, as long as one person came to receive the support, it would be a good chance to score.
David!
Nugent appeared at the front of the penalty area, and he even came faster than George.
That's now!
Hapal quickly shook away the central defender in front of him and made a cross.
bump!
The strong David jumped like an elephant jumping in the air. His speed and his own weight made Nugent unstoppable under such an impact.
The football was hit hard by him and penetrated into the lower left corner. Then it bounced into the net, and the goalkeeper was stunned.
“2:0”
This time Cowell learned from his experience, and there was no extra word.
Unexpectedly, David actually came to the sidelines surrounded by everyone, and also raised a middle finger to the commentator on the left...
Richard smiled bitterly and shook his head. These unruly boys: "Slow down and slow down the ball!" He shouted loudly at the stadium. In fact, the result was destined before the start of the friendly match. The relegated English League Two teams and the English League Non-Lian League teams were not on the same level, which was no different from bullying. Richard did not want to bully the other party and destroy his players. This was a friendly match after all.
As a result, these kids carried out Richard's orders well. Before the half-time, Ashley Young snatched a high-speed arc ball near the corner of the penalty area and entered the dead corner of the net, bringing a 3:0 score to enter the intermission.
The second half changed the lineup of 433, Diyala, Mudesack and Nasri all replaced them. When Mercambi watched a group of children walk out of the player channel, he thought he could finally take a breath. Who knew that the second half was even more crazy.
In the 51st minute, Nasri scored a pass and directly broke through the opponent's defense line, pulling Ashley at No. 9 and a halfway point to score twice.
In the 70th minute, the score of 4:0 allowed Las Diarra to show a long pass. The long pass accurately found Nasri who successfully counter-offside. He had become a shadow striker and hit the front of the penalty area. He shot hard near the penalty area and rewrited the score to 5:0.
In the 87th minute, Nasri was substituted and Gaza came on the court. Gaza, who had already started training with the team, was obviously more control than Nasri. She played at this time just to make him adapt to the rhythm of the game. Unexpectedly, Gaza was a little excited just now. After getting the ball in the midfield, she played "hi". She ran through three people in a row to the opponent's penalty area and shot and changed the score to 6:0.
Of course, none of them forgot to give Cowell a middle finger. Of course, the fans who arrived at the court have started to cheer crazy since the first goal in the first half!
The stadium with more than a thousand people actually started to roar, and the long-lost team song was actually sung!!
Richard looked in the stands and smiled slightly, "Did I have a good start?"
After returning with victory, Richard did not break his promise. He led the entire Burley team to a nearby bar for a drink, and then sang a triumphant song.
Conanquey, Hyde United was hit back by 3:0 and 4:1 respectively. One goal from Hyde United was due to their rough players' style, which caused Virmulen to foul in the penalty area. However, this is not important, winning is the key.
In the match against the English League Two team Port Vier, Richard frowned. His team seemed to be blinded by the victory. He actually felt proud after three consecutive wins. Nasri, who showed off his fun on the court, began to get applause, and Diyala also began to pass frequently, but was seized by the opponent and sneak attacked, and he persisted 1:0 until the end of the half.
In the locker room, Richard held his ears and scolded him. No matter how ugly the words he said, it would automatically increase by 30%: "Are you all the Premier League champions? Now it is already 7:0 in the Champions League final. Have we determined the victory? Look at what you look like, who still remembers what the tactics you have been practicing this summer? You are all soft eggs, a group of soft eggs, Port Vier. Do you have to reach the English New Year and play football after being beaten back to the original form? Tell me, do you have any of you who want to be from the English New Year or the Premier League? Don't raise your hands, you are not worthy!" Richard said angrily before walking out of the locker room and closing the door: "I won't show up in the second half. I feel ashamed of your behavior!"
The boss is unhappy...
In Burley, the head coach is not important, and the boss is unhappy that is a big deal!
So, at the beginning of the second half, the entire Burleigh team started to become fierce one by one, and Port Virgin even thought he was fighting with a group of madmen in the FA Cup final.
These guys are fierce and their movements are dirty. When they are dribbling against people, when they are raising their feet and raising their feet, they will step on the edge of your toes and use the intense pain to quickly shake off their opponents... Who is the team led by this? Why are they dirtyer than Millwall's group of football hooligans?
So, Port Vier, who was unwilling to be injured in a friendly match, began to cowardly. David Nugent smashed the ball hard after the corner kick was taken, 1:1!
Five minutes later, Hapal passed the full-back and entered the penalty area, attracting the central defender to leave room and then pass directly. George Clegg appeared again like a ghost, 2:1.
Seven minutes later, Las Diyala took advantage of the corner kick and scored with a volley outside the penalty area, 3:1.
The head coach of Port Vier was so angry that he only scolded him on the court. Is this his own team? Why did he soften in an instant?
Richard was not on the court, and Padrew did not dare to substitute casually. Finally, the score scored after Nasri was tripped in the penalty area and scored a penalty kick to the 4:1 figure.
On the way back to the training base, Richard was always gloomy, and supper turned into fried fish and chips that were not eaten in England. Everyone knew that the boss was really angry.
In the next few days of training, no matter how good or bad the weather is, everyone feels that the training ground is shrouded in dark clouds. The laughter on weekdays has disappeared, the boss's enthusiasm is also fading, and the massages these days have disappeared. The key is that they have been eating fried fish and chips for three consecutive days.
When Grisby City stepped into the Giger Lane Stadium, they would never think about what kind of players they were facing. When the whistle was blown, Grisby City even felt that they were playing against the Premier League team!
Perhaps the opponent does not have the strength of the Premier League, but whether it is the control of the rhythm or the determination of the counterattack at the moment, even the dirty little movements make people feel that this team is extremely powerful, and they have the determination to kill themselves...
4:0, this was a crazy game. The strong defensive style made Burley's defense solid. Grisby City only had three effective shots in the whole game.
At the end of the game, Richard walked back to the locker room with a whistle. All the players felt completely relaxed because in the locker room, the boss said: "I'll give you extra meals tonight and reward my guys!"
In the last friendly match, Burleigh defeated his opponent 2:0, and ushered in the first league in the British Cliff with a record of winning all the friendly matches, which is about to kick off.
At the same time, Richard received a news that Ligan from the youth team knew that after Gaza played for the first team, he immediately left the team and did not even apply for termination. He was taken away by his mother and disappeared without a trace...
As for Gaza, he went to the hospital to visit the child every day, perhaps he hoped that one day, he could listen to the long-lost "dad" in front of his children like the father of this child.
PS: Sorry, I really don’t want to break a chapter into several chapters to update it, as it will destroy the original feeling, otherwise I can update Gascoin’s chapter three times. I am a stupid person, I would rather write more than write more than have only two thousand words in a chapter. There is a fatal disadvantage of doing this, that is, the chances of appearing on the homepage are greatly reduced, and the chances of others seeing this book will also be reduced, and the recommendation votes and clicks will be reduced. But Wude has no regrets. Everyone, seeing that Wude is so affordable at the starting point of the 2KKR rampant, can you give more collections and recommendation votes?
Chapter completed!
