Chapter 138
Chapter 0138 – Assist Scored Twice! Isn’t he a center forward in Temeow!!!
Everyone knows that the current Petersburg is very good at playing against the wind.
With the bitter experience of Championship powerhouses such as Bournemouth and Coventry, every fan who has watched Petersburg know that playing against Petersburg, even if it is one goal or two goals ahead at the beginning, is not safe.
As long as Lin Xu is present, even a two-goal lead is likely to be reversed in just ten minutes.
Petersburg’s attack was terrifyingly strong.
As for the teams that were not as offensive as Bournemouth and were scored by Petersburg early in the first half of the game, let alone those teams.
Petersburg in the headwind is strong.
And Petersburg under the tailwind can be called invincible.
At least in the Championship.
Basically, as long as the goal is scored first by Petersburg, it will be difficult for the opponent to score again.
Because often as long as you lose the ball first, you will be directly hit by Petersburg to collapse, if you do not have a strong psychological quality, it is difficult to organize an effective attack.
The team of the Championship, where can the psychological quality be strong.
It was only a matter of time before it was broken.
These have been verified in the past few Championship games.
Therefore, as soon as Lin Xu assisted Randall to score in less than five minutes into the opening five minutes, Stoke City’s goal puzzle panicked.
I’m fucking good poisoned milk buff! Guan Zeyuan, can you do it!
Or is your poisoned milk buff only effective in the electric circle!
Stoke City fans don’t think they are better than Bournemouth or Coventry Hudders, the top 10 teams, and even those teams can be reversed and collapsed when they lead Petersburg, and their opening game is hell mode…
The few Stoke City fans in the Dragon Kingdom began to panic.
Their own coach O’Neill’s tactics of swinging the bus, they have also watched a lot of games.
This is how the team played with Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United before.
It’s okay to be ugly on the scene, but consequentially, it’s barely acceptable.
At least against Nottingham Forest and against Sheffield United, they both got a draw and each took a point.
Playing against such a strong team, you can get at least one point, which is also a good result.
Before the game they also felt.
Such a swinging bus tactic should logically be quite able to restrain a team like Petersburg that is good at playing defensive counterattacks.
Didn’t Petersburg always like to fight anti-rebellion before!
In the impression of many fans, Petersburg’s main tactical system is to defend and counterattack, and many of their goals are directly launched after being attacked, and then a fatal blow, no problem!
The midfielder passed the ball to Lin Xu, and Lin Xu went to score.
Isn’t Darren Ferguson just that!
Why did the tactics change today!
Stoke City fans watching the game couldn’t figure it out.
But no matter what they think, Stoke City, sitting at home, are the first to concede the ball, and in this clash with Petersburg, they have already fallen below
What was originally a hardmode match directly turned into hell mode.
A Petersburg who scored in the opening game terrifies everyone.
Stoke City boss Michael O’Neill’s expression on the sidelines has also changed.
He clenched his fists unconsciously.
The Northern Irish coach looked at Britannia Stadium with a calm face.
The heart is like turning over the river and the sea.
Substitution? No way.
Not to mention how much substitution in the first five minutes will affect the psychology of the players.
Let’s just say who he can change people for.
The main players of the team are already on the pitch, is he going to come on the bench? He simply had no other candidate to replace.
And.
O’Neill knew very well that the goal he had just conceded was not the fault of any player on the field.
Goalkeeper Davis has reacted quickly.
In other words, it’s him.
He will also go to the direction of Lin Xu’s door at the first time.
There were no Petersburg players in the small penalty area at that time, and Davis’s prediction was actually no problem.
It’s just that no one could have thought that Lin Xu’s full moon scimitar was actually a pass, not a direct shot, obviously he could hit the door directly.
Such a distance.
O’Neill didn’t believe Lin Xu couldn’t score on his own.
But Lin Xu just passed it on.
As for the others.
In O’Neill’s tactical arrangement, although he asked defenders Bart and Fox to keep an eye on Lin Xu’s movements in front of the small penalty area, he did not let them keep a close eye on the defense.
When Lin Xu runs without the ball, it is normal that Bart and Fox do not follow to the midfield.
These defenders and goalkeepers at Stoke City did not make any big mistakes.
Their only problem may not be that they did not expect Lin Xu to care whether his data brushed goals or assists, and Lin Xu was able to accurately predict Randall’s position at such a distance, and pass such a world-class full moon scimitar assist.
But it’s not a problem for the players either.
Even O’Neill himself didn’t expect Lin Xu’s passing level to be so amazing!
Isn’t he a center striker!
Shouldn’t he be a center forward and honestly stay in the front court waiting for others to feed the pie!
Why is he still running around to feed others bread! Feed the pie and forget it.
It’s also a good ball that only this kind of world-class midfielder can give.
Let them not be able to prevent it!
O’Neill felt very irritable now.
Lin Xu’s assist for Randall’s goal disrupted all his pre-match plans
The original intention of the Stoke City manager was only to let the team put the bus on the bus, like the previous rigid stick to Nottingham Forest and Sheffield United, until Lin Xu came down, and after the exhaustion of Petersburg’s attack, he won another 0-0 draw from Petersburg.
Now pour well.
It took a few minutes.
Just lose the ball!
How else to keep this!
If this continues to be held according to the original plan, even if Petersburg does not score a goal, will Stoke City still be a loss?
The scene was ugly, and he didn’t get points, O’Neill could think of what he would be complained about by the fans after the game.
But if you let go, go and fight Petersburg
O’Neill always had the impression that he would be the second Birmingham manager Bowyer.
The famous bad boy Bowyer of the Premier League that year, after being fired by Birmingham, did not lack the yin and yang weird Petersburg in front of the news media, but no matter how yin and yang weird, everyone knows that Petersburg did not play yin, and people used their strength to beat Birmingham 7:2.
Again.
Birmingham was left because his condition had not adjusted after playing Petersburg, and Bowyer left class.
The match with Petersburg was just the fuse.
Not a direct cause.
Bowyer is just unwilling.
But now there’s a Bowyer ahead.
Every manager who played against Petersburg began to worry faintly about his position.
It doesn’t matter if you lose a game, but like Bowyer, losing a game and directly causing yourself to be out of class is a bit too unlucky.
Stoke City boss O’Neill also does not want to become a second Bowyer himself.
Swing the bus or play offense.
For a moment he was a little hesitant.
And on the pitch.
Randall was so excited that he slipped to his knees.
Looking at Randall’s excited look, several other strikers in the Peterborough team, Kanu, Dembele and these people all stared at Lin Xu with grievances.
“Captain.”
“Your ball is simply passed to Randall!”
“Where can we run past him!”
Randall’s speed, except for Lin Xu in the Peterborough team, there is no opponent at all.
Wrong.
Lin Xu…
Lin Xu’s speed can only be said to be Schrödinger’s speed.
Their captain seems to have played Bournemouth on the day, a corner overtaking showed a terrifying speed beyond ordinary people, but except for that day, whether it was the usual training session or the next few races, the speed did not look very fast.
At least Dembele and Kanu can run past Lin Xu.
However, these people in the Peterborough team will not doubt Lin Xu.
Those who doubted Lin Xu’s strength did not end well.
This is a well-known thing.
Like the unlucky bastards in Birmingham.
In the eyes of the Petersburg players, their captain must have saved the speed to play on the winger as a killing move.
After all, Lin Xu’s height and weight are here, if he often runs like Bell when he was at his peak, he will definitely hurt his body.
The whole team of Petersburg looked at Lin Xu’s speed that was not as fast as the defenders, and they all thought so in their hearts.
Well.
The captain is definitely staying power! That’s right!
Playing in the Championship is simply not worth the full effort of the captain! You can win casually.
If Lin Xu knew that his teammates had given him the reason why he wasn’t fast enough, it is estimated that he might not have complained about the results of the last card draw for so long.
Randall is still training, and he will be tortured by Lin Xu with his skills from time to time.
Looking at the aggrieved Kanu and Dembele.
Lin Xu was silent for a moment.
“Okay, I see.”
Isn’t it just two goals?
Come back later!
Wait a minute, he will definitely not pass in the direction of Randall! But it turns out.
Someone must have gone out with shooting boots.
The foot feel is so good that it bursts.
Luck is not generally good either.
Eighteenth minute of the game.
Lin Xu hit another full-moon scimitar arc ball that the defenders of Stoke City could not defend against, and accurately circled to the front point of the goal and found Kanu who ran in place.
The ball was given.
As a result, under the interference of the Stoke City defenders, Kanu’s first kick was croaked.
Didn’t score the goal.
Instead, it smashed on the goal post.
Bounced out.
Stoke City goalkeeper Davis was unable to hold the football, and the defender did not grab the first drop point, but instead rolled to the feet of Randall, who did not intend to steal the ball with Kanu.
The balls are all delivered to the door.
Randall certainly can’t do without. He made up for it with a crisp kick.
Hit the near corner of the goal.
Football goes straight to the net.
Stoke City’s goal was once again broken.
The Peterborough winger, who is far ahead in the assists table, scored twice in this game to score his fourth goal of the season.
Lin Xu also received his second assist of the game.
Petersburg led by two goals away from home.
Only Kanu’s injured world was achieved.
Kanu: “…”
Kanu: Mader is so angry!
