Xie Zhousan is a professional club registered with the English Football Association. It was founded in 1867 and is also a well-established club with heritage. Although it is a veteran team, Xie Zhousan's development journey is enough to be described as rugged. They only won the runner-up in the English top league in 1937, won the FA Cup championship in 1947 and won the runner-up. In addition, Xie Zhousan has never achieved any outstanding results. For a veteran team with a century-old history, such results are a bit shabby.

Although Xie Zhoushu has been in the low-level league for many years, they have quite enthusiastic fans. Even if the team has encountered an unprecedented worst start this season, those loyal fans of Xie Zhoushu are not stingy with their enthusiasm. One hour before the start of the game, Hillsburg Stadium, which can accommodate more than 27,000 people, has already been packed. The enthusiastic fans are even shirtless and slogans, shouting loudly for their beloved team.

When Ouyang Ao stepped into the stadium, he was really shocked.

Although Sheffield was a little cold in July, and although Ouyang Ao was mentally prepared before stepping onto the stadium, when he really stepped onto the stadium, the enthusiasm exuded by the fans and the strong atmosphere of the Hillsborough Stadium were far beyond his expectations. This is completely different from TV broadcasts. The sense of shock brought by this sense is hard to describe in words.

The fans' singing is like the sound of nature, so real and so moving. This is professional football!

This is the first time that Ouyang Ao has visited the football scene in a real sense, and he is also the head coach.

Ouyang Ao is an absolute fan. As long as conditions allow, almost all the games that can be broadcasted on TV will not fall. However, in his 23-year life, this is the first time that he has come to the stadium to watch the game in a true sense. It is not that Ouyang Ao does not want to watch the game on site, but that the conditions do not allow it. Not to mention that there is no professional team in the city where Ouyang Ao is located. The most important thing is that since his parents passed away, Ouyang Ao has been living with the help of relatives, and his monthly living expenses are only a few hundred yuan. If he wants to watch the game on site, he will save money for several months without eating or drinking.

But at this moment, the real touch came from his feet, telling Ouyang Ao that this was true! This was not a dream! He found that the tension in his heart had subsided without knowing it, and what was left was his expectations for the future. He looked at the green field and the furnace-like stands, and Ouyang Ao shouted in his heart - professional football! I am here!

I have never eaten pork and seen pig run. Although it was my first time to visit the scene, Ouyang Ao easily found his coaching seat, and his assistant Alex sat next to him.

"John, according to the analysis of the opponent's lineup, we have reason to believe that the Rochdal team will continue to attack with the strong momentum today. Their core figure Will Atkinson is the object of defense that we need to focus on. His performance will be the key to determining the direction of this game." As soon as Ouyang Ao sat down, Alex next to him said worriedly.

Before the game, Ouyang Ao also made targeted analysis with Alex and analyzed the opponent's game video. Ouyang Ao was also a little embarrassed about the opponent in this game, so before the game, he decided to shrink the midfield and limit the opponent's chances of getting the ball in the midfield to the greatest extent. As for the others, he could only leave it to fate.

After playing FM for so many years, Ouyang Ao has also studied tactics. Although FM is just a game, its simulation is actually the highest among all football games and the most realistic and comprehensive information. Although Ouyang Ao, who is addicted to the FM series, can only be said to be a paper talk in terms of tactics, the tactics used on FM are actually also applicable in reality.

What Ouyang Ao learned the most in college was not his major, but his tactical deployment of FM. He even developed an invincible 4-2-3-1 formation in the game based on the characteristics of the players and the position on the field. However, this is what he can do without understanding the characteristics of the players.

While the commentator announced the list of starting personnel, Ouyang Ao simply checked the opponent's strength. Sure enough, Rochdal and Xie Zhousan were not on the same level at all!

There were as many as seven people on the field with a strength value of over 60. What surprised Ouyang Ao even more was that the guy named Will Atkinson's strength value actually reached 72, which is the highest strength value that Ouyang Ao has seen so far.

No wonder he is the core figure of the team. It seems that this number does represent the player's strength.

It seems that this game is incredible...

At 17:00 local time in England, amid the whistle of referee Anderhe Buche, Sheikh's home match against Rochdal began on Wednesday.

From the beginning of the game, Xie Zhousan, wearing a blue and white shirt, kept cheering for the home team, and fans hoped to use this method to encourage the team to get out of the predicament.

But their expectations are destined to be disappointed today.

As Alex expected before the game, the visiting team Rochdal held high the offensive banner at the beginning of the game, and opened the gate and released the floodgates and attacked Xie Zhousan's defense line one after another.

Before Ouyang Ao could enter the head coach's form, Rochdal's first wave of offensive shocked him into a cold sweat.

Rochdal is the team with the most speed advantage among the entire English League Two teams, and today Rochdal's main playing style is also focused on two wings.

The 20-year-old local young player Joe Thompson on the right is only 61, but when he faces him, the strength value is only 56, Xie Zhou San fullback Federico Bessoni is enough.

The full-back who came from Leeds United couldn't defend against Thompson at all. He made a rash move and easily passed by Thompson with a simple change of direction. Then Rochdal's right wing rushed into the bottom line quickly and made a cross from the bottom!

The ball drew a strange arc and fell into Xie Zhousan's penalty area. The team's players ranked first in strength. Daley, who also captained Xie Zhousan's game, had good air control ability. He jumped high and beat Rochdal forward Klis Grady to compete for the first point.

However, due to Chris Grady's interference, Daly failed to push the ball out of the dangerous area, and the ball fell at Kennedy's feet who were wandering at the front of the penalty area.

The 24-year-old Rochdal midfielder Kennedy has a good strength value, 66! He skillfully stopped the ball, then did not make adjustments, aimed at the ball and shot with a shot. The ball was very accurate. With a touch, the ball flew towards Xie Zhousan's goal like a shell that was out of the box.

Xie Zhousan seemed to have good luck today. Kennedy's shot flew out of the baseline by the post. If he shifted to the left a few centimeters, he would be able to make contributions to the team. Xie Zhousan's goalkeeper Robert Elliott had no reaction at all.

Kennedy's shot scared tens of thousands of home team fans on the scene and sweated. Ouyang Ao was no exception. He even jumped out of the coach's seat when the ball slipped out of the goal.

"Man, relax, this is not like you normally do." Alex glanced at Ouyang Ao strangely and said.

Ouyang Aocancan returned to the seat and exhaled: "Sorry, I'm a little out of my composure."

Alex looked at Ouyang Ao a few times and said in his heart: Oh, after all, he is still too young. The worst start in history and the FA Cup was eliminated. It is really difficult for a 27-year-old man to face such pressure. However, the club's senior management seems to have some news. If the team's record continues to be bad, then John's position will not be able to be saved sooner or later.

God, I am John's right-hand man, and the team's record is poor. As an assistant coach, I also have some responsibility. If John really gets off get out of class, I have to get out of here. No, it seems that I have to find my next boss in advance.

Alex secretly thought about his future prospects, but he did not expect that after just two seasons, he really left Xie Zhou Wednesday, but the way he left was to follow John to be poached by a larger club rather than seeking a way out on his own.

The application of tactics is of course very important in a football game, which is also the main reason why some coaches who are good at tactical deployment can become famous coaches. However, what determines the direction of a game is often more important than tactics.

The tactical policy deployed by Ouyang Ao before the game has indeed achieved some results. At least in the first twenty minutes of the first half, Rochdal was not so comfortable in the midfield. Ouyang Ao's tactical policy in this game is very clear. He compressed the midfield to limit the number of times the opponent took the ball in the midfield to the greatest extent. Although the contraction of the midfield will make the two sides more empty, compared to long passes and rushes, short pass penetration is more threatening.

However, this can only be called perseverance. The huge gap in strength still allowed Rochdal to score a goal near the end of the first half.

It was still launched an attack through the wing. Today, Rochdal's two wingers were like two sharp sharp knives, repeatedly cutting through Xie Zhoushu's two wings. The game was thirty-eight minutes, and Thompson made a cross from the bottom again. Xie Zhoushu's penalty area was suddenly in chaos. In the melee, Atkinson, the soul of Rochdal's soul, stabbed the ball into Xie Zhoushu's goal, and the score became 1:0 amid the commentator's hysterical shouts!

Atkinson! This hope star, who came from Hull City, proved his worth with a goal!

Ouyang Ao closed his eyes in pain. At this moment, he finally understood why those coaches on TV used to show their expressions of being dead when the team was scored by the opponent. He finally felt this painful mood.

Real professional football is indeed not as simple as in the football game world!
