The Coventry players were very angry at Jamie's provocation.

Everyone vowed to win the game even if they broke their legs.

Shen Xiao was not a person who liked to make enemies, but when the other party extended his face, it would be unreasonable not to fight him.

But Shen Xiao also has a helplessness, that is, he is just a substitute in this game.

Whether or not to be substituted during the game depends entirely on the head coach's decision.

Shen Xiao needs a chance to become famous!

Even if you don't have it now, you still have to try to play in this game.

After all, Shen Xiao deeply despised Jamie's arrogance and character.

Shen Xiao really wanted to tell head coach Robins that he was very strong and could be invincible in English League One.

But as a new player on the team, with no game record, how can Shen Xiao convince the head coach?

Thinking of this, Shen Xiao could only smile helplessly.

If the teammates can beat Sunderland directly, that will definitely be the best.

If the team is at a disadvantage, Shen Xiao decides to ask head coach Robbins for a fight!

After all, it would be a waste of resources to let a "super master" with all abilities of 110+ sit on the bench!

As the head coach of Coventry, Robins is also under a lot of pressure.

First, the club's owner requires the coaching staff to bring the team into the English Championship.

But who can say for sure what happens on the court?

Unless they have the absolute strength to crush other teams in the same league, can Coventry currently do that?

The second is that although the winter transfer period is not over yet, the team has not signed anyone.

The coaching staff actually submitted the list of signing targets to the club's senior management.

But until now, the decision-making leaders above have not given any reply.

Robins actually understands that this is also the club leaders putting pressure and inspection on their coaching staff.

If Robins can achieve excellent performance in recent games and show his coaching ability, then everything will be easy to say.

If you want to buy players, that is also feasible. After all, the transfer winter window is still a long time away.

However, if there are consecutive defeats, then not only the signings will be denied, but the coaching staff is also likely to leave at any time.

After all, British teams love to fire coaches.

Therefore, today’s game is very important!

The result of this game is likely to be related to the fate of the team.

Of course, it's also about Robbins.

At this time, he stared blankly at the players on the court who were warming up, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Robin, long time no see!"

A silver-haired British man came to Robbins and said to him.

"Hey, Blaise, please show mercy to your Sunderland team in today's game..."

Robbins said humbly to the visitor.

The silver-haired old man is Sunderland coach Brees.

Although he was the head coach of both teams, Robbins gave Brees full respect as his senior.

"Losing and winning on the court all depend on each other's ability. Don't belittle yourself too much..."

Blaise nodded to Robbins, and then continued:

"Robin, your team's tactics are very good. As a young coach of this generation, you are really outstanding!"

Robbins was stunned for a moment, and then immediately asked: "The tactics are very good? What do you mean, do you know?"

"Yes, I know all your team's offensive and defensive strategies, and I took corresponding countermeasures in today's game!"

Blaise replied seriously.

"What's going on? If you know our tactics, why do you come to tell me?"

Robbins asked eagerly.

"First of all, I hope there can be fair competition between our teams. After all, we all love football..."

"A former player on your team revealed the tactics to us. I am telling you this in the hope that you can change the tactics temporarily!"

Brace explained to Robbins.

Temporary change of tactics?

The game is about to start in ten minutes. Are you going to tell me to ask the team to temporarily change tactics?

Robbins was very depressed about this.

"Brace, we are all head coaches, do you think it is too late to change tactics at this moment?"

Robbins said helplessly.

Brees said: "That's your business... I just want to win this game!"

"If you don't change your tactics, then I will directly use the loopholes in your tactics as attack points!"

Robbins said angrily: "Brace, where is your professional ethics?"

"There is no way. The boss of Sunderland told me that I must bring the team into the Championship, otherwise I will be fired directly by the club!"

Blaise replied seriously.

Is it another hard target to enter the English Championship?

It seems many club owners have issued the same directive to their teams' coaching staffs.

There are 24 teams in English League One, and Coventry and Sunderland, as the top ten teams in the league, are very promising to enter the second league.

However, there are only three promotion places!

The top three in the league should be the main targets for all the mid- and upper-tier teams in English League One in the second half of the season.

Robbins understood Blaise for a moment, and then said to him: "Thank you for informing him in advance, this is very gentlemanly..."

"However, even if you know our tactics in advance, it will be difficult to defeat us reliably!"

Blaise nodded and said with a smile: "Then we will see the result on the field later!"

"good!"

…

League games rarely have player entrance ceremonies like cup games.

After the referee guessed the coins for the captains of both sides, the players from both sides immediately lined up and stood in their positions.

Just waiting for the referee's whistle.

Outside the boundaries of the stadium, the substitute players from both sides were sitting on their respective benches.

Robbins and Brees stood on the sidelines of both sides of the court, ready to give on-the-spot command.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle and the game officially started.

Coventry still has a starting eleven with Gordon as captain.

But in Sunderland's starting midfield, there is a newcomer, Jamie Allen!

Jamie used to be the main executor under Robins tactics.

However, today, he will become the destroyer of this tactic.

Coventry kicked off first.

Robins still put the team in a 4-4-2 formation, with parallel midfield positions.

Brees looked at the Coventry team's formation on the field and smiled softly.

As expected, Robbins is still prepared to use the "fly on both sides" strategy.

With the two centers Gordon and Beamon as the fulcrum, the two midfielders Jones and Kelly made breakthroughs from the wing.

Typical English football style.

It is relatively easy to see through the formation and style of play, but execution is the most critical.

This involves relevant details and the personal characteristics of players playing football.

Just like playing the League of Legends game, when you are facing off against your opponent, you must not only understand your own hero, but also be familiar with the opponent's hero role.

The current situation is that Sunderland is a new game character, and you don't know him thoroughly.

Sunderland, on the other hand, has a complete grasp of the "skills" of every player in Coventry.

Brees waved towards the pitch, and Sunderland instantly switched to a 4321 formation.
Chapter completed!
