Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 231 Martinez Is Ruthless Enough (Third Update, Please Vote for Me!)

The Wigan Athletic players looked very confident when they came out, which made the commentator find it strange.

Because everyone has already analyzed it during the halftime break, the situation in the second half will gradually go against Wigan Athletic, and the balance of victory will gradually shift towards Chen Yingxiong's Liverpool.

Because their physical strength will not be able to guarantee that the team will last until the end of the game.

As time goes by, Liverpool will regain control of the game, and Chen Yingxiong's goal will naturally come when the time comes. The premise is that before then, Chen Yingxiong will not be exploded by his temper and pressure.

The TV broadcast also knew this, so when the players came on the field, the TV broadcast specialist gave Chen Yingxiong a close-up shot, trying to get some clues from his face.

When a close-up of Chen Yingxiong appeared on the screen, everyone squinted their eyes intently, trying to see if there was any expression on Chen Yingxiong's face.

They were disappointed. Chen Yingxiong had no expression on his face. There was neither the anger nor the confident smile that marked the end of the first half. It's just that you can tell absolutely nothing from his face.

The commentator and TV audience are observing Chen Yingxiong, and Caldwell is also observing Chen Yingxiong.

If Chen Yingxiong showed anger like he did in the first half, he knew he would be more relaxed in the second half. Unfortunately not.

He frowned.

In fact, he is not the kind of player who likes to look for trouble, and he is not Chen Yingxiong. In the first half, he took the initiative to provoke Chen Yingxiong, just to anger Chen Yingxiong and make him lose his cool. Of course he knew that the outcome of angry Chen Yingxiong would not be good, but he felt that this game might be different, because Chen Yingxiong was burdened with the task of scoring goals, and the pressure was already very high. If he gets angry again in this situation, If you do, I'm afraid you will completely lose your cool, and then you might still have a chance.

He also knew that if it was a head-to-head confrontation, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long. He knew coach Martinez's plan. He had to compete with Chen Yingxiong on the court for a full ninety minutes. I'm afraid I won't be able to last ninety minutes.

Looking now, Chen Yingxiong is completely different from the end of the first half. He thought Martin O'Neill must have said something to him at half-time to soothe him.

This is not possible!

Cardwell felt that it would be dangerous if this continued. You have to find a way to continue irritating him!

If you don’t give me one fire, I will light two fires for you. If two fires are not enough, let’s light three fires!

He noticed that Chen Yingxiong also looked at him - there were two layers of teammates between him and Chen Yingxiong, but he was sure that when Chen Yingxiong looked over, he was looking at him and not others.

He gave Chen Yingxiong a thumbs up, then turned it over with his thumbs down!

This is a pretty obviously insulting gesture.

That means just a small sample! You can not!

The most unbearable thing for a man is for others to tell him that he can't do it!

Chen Yingxiong clenched his fist. If he could, he really wanted to go up and punch the opponent on the nose, guaranteed to make his face split.

However, he knew that this was not the best way. The best way was to score a goal and then go up and beat him until his face blossomed.

But this is not the most perfect way.

The most perfect way is to score a goal for him and then use a celebration to make him blush.

Apart from clenching his fists, he didn't make any other movement, he just stared at him.

You wait for me, Guawazi!

Cardwell saw the change in the expression on Chen Yingxiong's face, waiting for him, and finally reacted with joy! That’s great if you get a reaction!

Come on, burn your anger a little brighter!

Better burn yourself to ashes!

After the game started, the commentators explained to the TV audience why they were not optimistic about Wigan Athletic.

"Now there are five players with yellow cards at Wigan Arena, four defenders and one midfielder. It can be said that in order to prevent Liverpool from scoring in the first half, they have paid a very heavy price. In this way, The forty-five minutes of the second half were a torment for their defenders. Because Liverpool could attack any point and continue to put pressure on Wigan Athletic to collapse! Their defenders had yellow cards on their backs. You will definitely be timid at times, and the defensive effect will be compromised. I dare say that within ten minutes of the second half, Wigan Athletic’s defense will have problems!”

Before ten minutes had passed, Wigan Athletic's defense had problems.

Suarez made a forced breakthrough and passed Gouri. At that time, Gouri had a chance to stop Suarez, as long as he inserted one of his own legs into Suarez's running legs...

But if he does this, he will definitely commit a foul.

If it was the first half, he would have done so without hesitation.

In the second half, he didn't dare because he had a yellow card on him. He didn't know whether the foul would get him a card. The card seemed to depend entirely on the referee's mood. What if my foul causes me to get a second yellow card? When he comes off the field, it is a trivial matter. As soon as he comes off the field, the overall nature of the team's defense will definitely be destroyed. There will be a hole in one defense line, and Liverpool will definitely take advantage of it.

With Liverpool's ability, it might only take three or four minutes to seize this opportunity, and Wigan Athletic might not have enough time to complete the substitutions in this world.

So he chose to protect himself wisely and let Suarez go.

Fortunately, captain Caldwell was very focused and quickly made up for it. Taking advantage of Suarez's slight chance, he kicked the football out of the sideline with a fierce, beautiful and clean sliding tackle.

After getting up, Cardwell yelled at Gouri: "How could you let him go like this! You have to act decisively!"

"But I got a yellow card!" Gouri also felt that he was wronged. The team's tactics were inherently walking a tightrope, but he didn't want to be the first to fall off the tightrope.

Cardwell can't continue to complain about his teammates, because this is indeed a very real problem.

So he turned his attention to the coaching bench off the field. Although the second half had only started for less than ten minutes, judging from the current situation, it was time to implement the plan!

Martinez also knew this, so he made decisive substitutions.

He also responded to a question that the commentator frequently asked in the first half. Wigan Athletic worked so hard and committed so many fouls. Are they not afraid that the players will lose their energy in the second half, and they will be tied up in defense with yellow cards on their backs?

Martinez's substitution told the commentators that of course he was also afraid, but he had a way to deal with it, and that was...substitution!

Yes, using substitutions can kill two birds with one stone and solve the problem of players' physical exhaustion and yellow cards.

Defender with a yellow card? Substitute!

Lack of energy? Substitute!

The players who were replaced were full of energy and at the same time, they were clean. You can do it with confidence and boldness.

Gouri, who made a mistake, was replaced.

Some smart commentators have guessed Martinez's thoughts, but they still have doubts: "Wigan Athletic is not preparing to attack by doing this? This is their home court! If he changes three If all the manpower quota is used on the back line, what will happen to the offense?

In the first half, Wigan Athletic had very few offenses that could threaten Liverpool's goal. If they don't strengthen their offense in the second half, it will be even worse..."

These commentators still didn't see it. Martinez didn't send the team's main shooter Scott Sinclair in this game.

Instead, the physically fit Callum McMaraman was deployed. The most outstanding feature of this young player born in the 1990s is his running ability. His running ability is even comparable to that of a defensive midfielder.

Isn't this tactical intention obvious enough?

Wigan Athletic simply sacrificed their offense! Make every effort to ensure that there are no problems with the back line.

What they shouted before the game, "We want to beat Liverpool" was actually to prevent Liverpool from scoring. Even if it was a draw, it would be considered a victory for Wigan Athletic. They sacrificed the offense in exchange for absolute stability in defense, and successfully blocked Chen Yingxiong's consecutive goals. The pace of the ball completely shattered his dream of setting a new record with Wigan Athletic!

In order to prevent Chen Yingxiong from scoring, Wigan Athletic has gone to this point and did everything possible.

They believe they can do it.

When Martin O'Neill saw Martinez's substitution, he realized that Wigan Athletic was sacrificing its offense to strengthen its defense...

Completely giving up the ability to score goals in exchange for extremely solid defense for ninety minutes...

He turned to look at Martinez.

How cruel!

No wonder he can lead Wigan Athletic to successfully avoid relegation at the last minute for several consecutive years. Maybe it's due to this fierceness and the team's meticulous execution ability?

He has been running Wigan Athletic for five seasons. Through his outstanding performance, he has won the respect and trust of Wigan Athletic and has built Wigan Athletic into a strong fortress. He only listens to his words.

This person should not be underestimated... He is currently limited by the strength of Wigan Athletic. If he is given a stronger team, I believe he will quickly become an excellent coach.

Facing such a ruthless Martinez, what can Martin O'Neal do?

He can only strengthen the attack, ask the full-backs to press for assists, and continue to put pressure on Wigan Athletic's defense.

He could tell that if one side was under great pressure and could no longer hold on, Martinez would quickly replace that player.

In the substitute list for this game, I believe Martinez has brought the entire Wigan defenders...

But he only has two substitutions left. He can't possibly replace all eleven players on the field, right?

Martin O'Neill now has to be more patient than Martinez. It depends on who is more patient and who can wait until the end.

Martinez's team really gritted their teeth and persisted, but he was waiting for Wigan Athletic to make mistakes.

He is worried about one problem now...

He cast his eyes on the court and landed on the big man.

Chen Yingxiong, don’t collapse before the opportunity comes! ! .
