I am a giant in football

Chapter 184 The Second Group Match
The joy of victory allowed Sheffield United to enter the fourth round of the UEFA Cup.

This is also the second time they have completed this great task after last season.

If he wins again, he will enter the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. If he does make it to the semi-finals, Ye Fei may have to consider whether to give up this event.

After all, the UEFA Cup prize money is more than 100 million pounds, which is also a lot of income.

Maybe it can also bring Ye Fei a powerful player in the free market!

Although there are signs of this now, it is unbelievable to say anything before all this has been realized.

As soon as the game ended, Ye Fei immediately came to Salah's side, "Muhammad, I plan to let you be the second striker, responsible for sorting out the entire frontcourt."

As soon as he came up, Ye Fei told him his plan without talking nonsense.

"Head, can I really do it? The second striker's requirements are so high that I'm afraid I won't be able to meet them."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Salah was a bit submissive. He understood the meaning of the second striker too well, especially the object he wanted to serve.

Since the end of last season, Salah has always thought that he is not as good as Zhang Yuning.

Especially every time he saw Zhang Yuning's unreasonable shots, he was shocked too much.

He swears that even if he is as strong as Ronaldo, he does not have this kind of shooting ability beyond the limit.

But in other respects, Zhang Yuning is still a bit far behind Ronaldo.

When Salah heard that Ye Fei was going to arrange himself behind Zhang Yuning as his guard, he really hesitated. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he felt that he might not be able to complete this task.

In addition, he and Zhang Yuning usually have the best relationship in the team, so of course he really wants to play this role.

"Muhammad, do you think your shot is better than Zhang?" Ye Fei asked, and Salah shook his head.

"Then do you think your passing ability is more accurate than Alberto's?" Salah shook his head again.

"Then do you think your defense is better than Basham's?"

Another shake of the head in response!
"So, since you don't have an ability to rank first in the team, why don't you try this role?"

"I have considered this matter since last year. At that time, I felt that you were not mature enough in handling the ball, and your skills still needed to be polished, so I didn't talk to you about this matter."

"But now you have changed. When the ball is at your feet, you know how to consider the people around you. This is what a leader should do. You are walking this way now!"

"Compared to becoming a pure shooter, I prefer to believe that you can become a 20+10 all-around striker."

"It should be said that he is a qualified leader like Messi!"

After Ye Fei finished speaking, he quietly stared at his black beard covering both sides of his mouth.

"Head, I'm willing to give it a try...I think as long as we have you by our side, we can overcome all difficulties."

In the end Salah said with determination.

Then Salah gave Ye Fei a big hug.

This is the relationship that Sheffield United players and Ye Fei have cultivated during this period of time.

In addition, there is not much age difference between Ye Fei and Salah, and Ye Fei usually does not pretend to be his boss.

An approachable coach which is very likable.

No player likes an oppressive environment.

There is a good saying: "If you give your sincerity to others, others will also treat you with sincerity."

So today's Sheffield United players are very convinced of Ye Fei.

Not to mention the wild Sheffield United fans, they worship Ye Fei like crazy.

The power of idols is very terrifying, and he can make many people lose their right way of thinking.

On the second day after the end of the UEFA Cup, the English Championship hit, and this time Sheffield United's opponent was Blackburn.

They have won one game so far this season, and other teams say "only a few games", but for Blackburn, when introducing them, they say "only one game".

This is the power gap!
At 03:30 in the afternoon, the game started on time at the Paramore Lane Stadium.

The first is to explain and introduce the two teams!

"Friends from the audience, the two sides of this game are Sheffield United and Blackburn. Now in terms of league record, Sheffield United ranks first in the Championship standings with 8 consecutive victories and 24 points."

“而布莱克本现在是1胜4平3负积7分，排在英冠积分榜第19位。”

"Judging from the record, this is a game without any suspense!"

After introducing these, the commentator stopped talking about news related to Blackburn and kept talking about Sheffield, especially when it came to their next European game.

The commentator realized that he had strayed off topic while talking, and quickly returned to the theme of the game.

After 90 minutes, there was no suspense in the game. Sheffield United's semi-main lineup scored 4 goals.

And also zero opponents, this is the scariest place.

It should be said that as long as Alisson is on the field, basically no team in the English Championship can break through their gate.

This kind of phenomenal dominance is really not bragging.

Nine consecutive victories, this is another season that starts and peaks, and there is no team that can even compete with them in the British Championship.

At the end of the game, the media all over the UK clamored that Sheffield United had secured the Championship this season and the Premier League next season.

Under this kind of public opinion, the Sheffield United team has become very dangerous. After all, there are many teams who don't look good at them.

In particular, they have such rich media resources, which makes the English Championship teams very jealous.

Take this year's British Championship team as an example. Burnley and Wolves, which Ye Fei is familiar with in later generations, are still in the British Championship.

It can be said that if there is a sudden wave of injuries at Sheffield United, it is not impossible to be caught up quickly.

The British Championship, League One and the Premier League are completely different. Strong teams will be particularly strong, and weak teams will be particularly weak.

It is basically impossible for an upset to happen. Unlike the Premier League, the last place may overthrow No.1.

If a team is too high-profile, it will be easy to be targeted. For example, if someone directly injures your players, you will lose your combat effectiveness.

You know, in Sheffield United's main lineup, anyone who gets injured will be fatal, and it will easily cause a rapid decline in the record.

So Ye Fei was very worried that they would be targeted after they became famous!

For this reason, he can only play more young players in the league in the future, and score fewer goals when he wins, and reduce his hatred.

The end of this round of the league means that Sheffield United has officially entered the preparation time for the second match of the European group stage.

As Sheffield United's biggest stadium this year, it is also everyone's hope.Ye Fei will study and analyze his opponent very carefully before every game.

None of the teams they played against was not a strong team in their own league, and they couldn't make any mistakes.

Once there is a mistake, it means that it is basically impossible for Sheffield Lenovo to advance.

Especially those who are in Group B of the Europa League. All experts analyze that this is the group of death, and it is difficult for Sheffield United to qualify.

In addition, they did not win Bordeaux in the first game, and they ranked No.3 in the standings of the group stage.

The first place is Sion, who won the first game, the second place is Bordeaux, and the last place is Rubin Kazan, a super Russian team.

Sheffield United has been active in the UEFA Europa League in recent seasons. In the new forecast of experts, Sheffield United ranks last in terms of strength.

Especially in the next game, no betting agency is optimistic about Sheffield United's win, because their opponent is Sion, who is known as the strongest in this group.

In the tactical room of Sheffield United, several people were discussing: "Wilder, Sion is not easy to play! Judging from the video of their games, this team is very good at playing against offense, especially the ability to catch mistakes and counterattack. This is something we can't achieve now."

"Osborne, you are right, but you only see their advantages, not ours. You forget that we have an extremely solid defense line."

"Not to mention a Swiss team like Sion, even a giant team from La Liga will probably encounter bad luck on our defense line."

The two who were talking were the two assistant coaches of Sheffield United, and Ye Fei was also beside them, but he was communicating with the technical staff and did not join the discussion between the two.

After Ye Fei finished talking with the technicians, Osborn, who had already discussed the results, couldn't help but asked Ye Fei:

"Ye, I think we have no problem playing against them in this game. Our front trident is definitely better than their striker."

"Hahaha! You are wrong about Osborne. In this game, I am going to play a defensive counterattack. Let the opponent hit the wall to calm down first, and then we will give them a fatal blow."

"Also, I don't plan to use the three-arrow attack formation in the next game......"

Just as Ye Fei finished speaking, Wilder beside him rushed ahead of Osborn and asked:

"Could it be that you are going to use shadow strike tactics, did Salah agree?"

"Well... there is no problem anymore, Salah's biggest worry has been taken care of by me."

Ye Fei's answer immediately put the two into a state of excitement, because they had discussed this tactical arrangement for a long time.

It has also been deduced on the tactical board countless times, and all the results are "once there is a tacit cooperation, Sheffield United will point to the Europa League champion."

This is not bragging at all. Once arranged in this way, Zhang Yuning and Gnabry in the frontcourt will have a wider offensive space.

And Salah behind them will become an epoch-making all-round striker, or Salah will redefine the task of an all-round striker.

People used to think that Messi is very comprehensive, but in Ye Fei's view, Salah has the possibility of surpassing him.

What I'm talking about here is of course not the surpassing of abilities, but that the diversified functions on the court can surpass the current Messi.

After the tactics are decided, it is time to adjust them. After all, no one can tell how powerful such a personnel position can actually be exerted.

What if it doesn't work out?This arrangement was a failure, and now Ye Fei only had 4 days of training time, whether it would be successful or not would depend on these 4 days.

October 10nd………………

At 2 p.m. UK time, the arena in the Palamo Lane Stadium, which accommodates more than 30000 people, is already full.

And there are more than 20000 people watching the big screen outside the stadium in the team's square. These people are the most loyal fans of Sheffield United.

Since the addition of Sheffield United's double crown last season, the number of fans in Sheffield City has firmly suppressed Sheffield Wednesday in the same city.

However, Sheffield United's home stadium, Paramore Lane, can only accommodate more than 30000 people, and there is no way for extra people to come in.

Ye Fei's arena construction plan has reached the point of no delay.

Now all the funds of 4.5 million pounds have been put in place, and all the planning has been completed. It is just waiting for the approval from the Sheffield City Government to be in place, and then the construction can start.

Also, the name of the new arena has been determined, called "Li-Ning International Arena", which is also a clause required in the Li-Ning sports contract.Ye Fei can't change anything, who asked him to take money!

And their purpose is to enhance the popularity of Li Ning Sports overseas, especially now that Britain has become the center of football.

With the Premier League, the largest football league, why Li Ning Sports dared to give Ye Fei 3 million pounds to build an arena is mainly because of their future.

I saw the bright prospect of Sheffield United being promoted to the Premier League and competing in Europe.This is the biggest reason why capitalists are willing to invest in Sheffield United.

"Friends from the audience, here is the second match of Group B of the Europa League in the 2015-2016 season, Sheffield United VS Sion."

"First of all, welcome Sion to our beautiful England. I am Smith, the commentator for this game."

"I'm everyone's old friend Dawson. I believe this game will definitely feast your eyes."

When the two commentators introduced themselves, the players on both sides also began to enter the field.

Five minutes later, the personnel on both sides were ready.

"Dick........................................................."

Still a long whistle to start the game!
When Smith saw the formation of Sheffield United, he shouted in surprise:

“道森，谢菲尔德联竟然不是他们传统的3-4-3阵型，这场比赛竟然变成了3-4-1-2，这可是偏向防守的阵型呀！”

"Could it be that their purpose in this game is to ensure that they don't lose?"

"Hahaha…………Smith, don't jump to conclusions so quickly, maybe this is coach Ye Fei's big move?"

"Er..." After listening to Dawson's words, Smith was silent for a while and said:
"Then I have to look forward to it, I hope this is really Coach Ye Fei's big move!"

Smith was in no hurry to refute Dawson because the game was a European one.It is related to the honor of the United Kingdom. In this case, Smith, who is a British, still knows who the home team is.

At this time, Van Dijk of Sheffield United is holding the ball on the field. As a defender with a knife, Van Dijk is very good in both physical confrontation and ball handling.
