I am a giant in football

Chapter 173
Ye Fei didn't make them wait for this kind of worry about the position, and announced the next day that he would not occupy the main position.

And all starting positions are won by the players themselves.

That is to say, from now to the first game on August 8th, during this period of time, only those who train well in training matches and friendly matches can get a chance.

The team will not take care of anyone just because he is an old man. Both new and old players are treated with the same standard.

As soon as Ye Fei's rule was announced, the four players introduced during the offseason, plus Ye Fei's transfer from the second team, Victor Osimhen, finally had a huge stone in his heart.

Every day after that, the training ground was very lively, and the enthusiasm of both the players and the coaches continued to rise.

As the time comes and the league is approaching, it is time for the teams to register their players for the competition.

When Sheffield United reported Ye Fei's name to the FA and UEFA, everyone was shocked.

Not because it can't be done, or because it hasn't been done before.

But when people did it before, they did it at the end of their careers.

This is definitely the first time in history that he is a coach first and then a player.

After the news broke out, groups of reporters kept digging for the inside story like eating honey.

But the final result is that there is no inside story just to play football, which is fun now.

None of the big stories that journalists wanted were available.

After completing the player qualification registration, Ye Fei and his Sheffield United entered the final preparation period.

They also experienced several friendly matches during this period, and Ye Fei played only 15 minutes on average.

There is no sense of existence!

August 8th... Balamore Lane Stadium, tonight, the attention of the whole of the UK is focused here.

Because this is the first stop of the dark horse, Sheffield United, who won the FA Cup last season, will usher in their first match in the English Championship.

"Guys, outside is the arena you are about to compete in. There are many people who think that all our achievements last season were due to good luck."

"Do you agree with such statements? How will you counter them?"

Ye Fei gathered the players in the locker room and shouted to them loudly.

"I don't agree... I don't agree..."

"Victory... Victory..."

The roar of the players represented their mood at this moment.

Although they knew that Ye Fei was motivating them, it didn't affect their inner reaction.

Especially the champions who won the championship last season, no one knows how much they paid for the championship.

No one knows how much sweat has flowed behind the success.

So after hearing what Ye Fei said that some people didn't believe in their strength, everyone was angry, and they vowed to make those who didn't believe in them regret it.

In this way, they walked towards the player tunnel with anger.

"Come out... last season's FA Cup defending champion Sheffield United players walked out of the tunnel."

"It can be said that this game is a test for them, because their opponent is the old British team Nottingham Forest,"

"Although this is a traditional strong team that has declined, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse."

"So I think in this game, Sheffield United still can't be careless, otherwise they will definitely pay the price for their carelessness."

The commentators this time were old friends Smith and Dawson of Sheffield United.

Smith, the old pair, was not too happy about Sheffield United winning the FA Cup last season.

The reason is that Sheffield United beat the team he supported.

So at the beginning of the commentary, he didn't give Sheffield United any good looks.

But Dawson beside him couldn't listen anymore. As a loyal fan of Xie Jiaye, Dawson hastily retorted:
"Smith, I don't think you're right. In my opinion, Sheffield United deserved the FA Cup last season."

"Also, I think they will definitely be more dominant in the Championship this season than they were in League One last season."

"Because they left Ali in the team this season, the core lineup has a higher degree of integration. This is more than a hundred times better than when Coach Ye Fei just accepted Sheffield United."

"If there are no accidents, I guess this game will definitely be a massacre...and it will be a massacre without any suspense."

When Dawson finished speaking, he looked at Sheffield United's 18-man roster with his eyes, and found that there was a name named Ye Fei, which completely confused him.

"How is this possible? Are the rumors true?"

"What...?" Smith said suddenly after hearing his old partner's analysis, and was immediately a little confused.

"Smith, look at the rosters of the two sides for this game."

While talking, Dawson pointed to Ye Fei's name on the computer.

"NO! NO! NO......... Isn't this messing around? What is he trying to do!"

Smith looked at the name on the screen in disbelief, then turned his head to look Dawson in the eyes.

"NO... I don't know either! I thought that the news that the reporter broke the news a while ago was just for traffic! Who knew it was true."

In the shock of the two, the two big screens at the scene also released the list of the two sides for this match.

The fans started talking after seeing Ye Fei's name.

"Grandpa Miranda, is this true? Our coach Ye Fei is actually going to play football! He really knows how to play football, can he play well?"

"Yes! This news is indeed too surprising. I think we should believe him! I always firmly believe that success is not accidental. He can be a good coach, and he can also be a good player."

Miranda looked at Xenia who was still innocent beside her, and said comfortingly to her.

After hearing what Grandpa Miranda she trusted most said, Xenia soon showed a happy smile.

"Ye... It seems that there are many people who don't believe in you! This game is not easy!"

On the sidelines, Wilder watched the fans on the stage pointing at Ye Fei, and suddenly felt dizzy.

In fact, when Ye Fei told him this amazing news, he was really frightened at that time.

What made him even more puzzled was that Ye Fei was not a good coach, so why did he have to suffer.

Being with the players every day, he knows very well how difficult it is to be a professional player,

This also reminded him of the years when he played football, which can be said to be the most unforgettable period of his life.

For this reason, both he and Osborne persuaded Ye Fei many times, but they were defeated by his skills in the end.

Neither of them dreamed that Ye Fei would have the ability not much weaker than Ali.
