Football nukes: a pound buys a club

After defeating Notts County, Bury defeated Peterborough United [-]-[-] in the away game, continuing to top the standings.

Next, Bury ushered in the League Cup game.

This time it was against Championship side Barnsley.

Compared with Southampton before, Barnsley's natural strength is far inferior.If he had to fight hard, Zhang Chong would naturally not be afraid of them.But Zhang Chong still rotated the lineup and sent a large number of substitute players.

After all, the recent schedule is too dense. In the fifteen days from September 9 to September 13, Bury will play a total of five games, and this is the fourth game.

However, Barnsley on the opposite side obviously also sent a large number of substitute players, so the scene of this game cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said to be extremely dull.

The zero-to-zero score was maintained until the No. 70 minute of the second half, and Zhang Chong decided to take the lead in making changes.

He replaced Mesias and replaced Chen Ming.

Zhang Chong wanted to use these 10 minutes to fight for a promotion spot.

However, this substitution became a decision he regretted very much.

Mesias made several threats shortly after he came on the field, and Barnsley's players also began to focus on him.

But in one of his breakthroughs with the ball, Barnsley's players shoveled the ball first, but brought him down at the same time.

It was a normal physical confrontation in itself, but it was a coincidence that Mesias fell to the ground and just brought down the Barnsley midfielder Frimpang who was chasing after him!

The young man from Ghana was caught off guard, and his whole body was pressed on Messias' ankle!

Mesias screamed, clutching his ankle, in excruciating pain.

Zhang Chong's heart tightened, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

But there must be nothing wrong!

The team doctor came in and gave Mesias emergency treatment.

Frimpang stood beside him in bewilderment, rubbing his forehead with one hand, annoyed.

However, the ball was not his responsibility, and Mesias could only be blamed for his bad luck.

After a while, the team doctor carried Mesias out of the field on a stretcher. His injury was serious and he would definitely not be able to participate in this game.

Zhang Chong replaced Ali on the field, and then came to the team doctor: "How is it?"

The team doctor looked solemn: "It is in line with the performance of an ankle fracture, and the severity needs further examination."

Zhang Chong's heart suddenly became cold.

He now regrets his decision to replace him just now.

But it's too late to say anything now, I can only pray that the test results are not so bad.

But the game is not over yet, he can only continue to complete his mission.

Because of this episode, Zhang Chong has no intention of letting the team attack aggressively again, and only hopes that it can end safely and there will be no more attrition.

After nine 10 minutes of the game, the score was still zero to zero.

The extra time between the two sides was still extremely dull. Bury's players seemed a little uninterested in fighting, and the same was true for Barnsley's players.

At the end of the 120-minute game, the two sides entered a penalty shootout.

After a penalty shootout, Bury beat Barnsley to advance to the next round.

But Zhang Chong couldn't be happy at all. For such a tasteless game, Mesias suffered a serious injury, which may have an impact on the progress of this season!

The next day, the results of Mesias' examination came out. Fortunately, it was only a fractured ankle, which would take about two months to recover.

At this time, Bain of the Manchester Evening News jumped out again: "Bad news! The offensive core of the local team Bury Mesias injured his ankle and will miss the game for two months. This is obviously difficult for Bury. The pain. Since the beginning of this season, Mesias has contributed more than one-third of the team's goals and assists. It can be said that Bury will be struggling without him! Although Bury is now at the top of the standings, But in the past two months, they will experience a sharp decline in their grades!"

Zhang Chong tore up the newspaper expressionlessly: "Isn't this old guy's face swollen? Although Mesias is very important, we haven't reached the point of difficulty!"

He turned his head and told Blass: "Old Bu, it's time for us to change!"

The next game is a home game against Oxford United.

Since Grimes has left the team, Zhang Chong no longer has any obsession with this brother team that was also promoted from the second division.

In this game, Zhang Chong promoted Ali to the starting lineup, and at the same time changed to 4231, and Ali played as the shadow striker behind Antoine Hill.

Today's Ali, under the transformation of Zhang Chong, has greatly improved his ability and is already enough to be the main force.

Zhang Chong wants to make use of his forward offensive expertise to make up for the absence of Mesias.

This position is exactly where Ali shines in Tottenham.

And Oxford United obviously didn't expect Bury to change suddenly, and they were a little uncomfortable with Bury's new formation for a while.

Ali is like a fish in water, taking advantage of the space that Hill has created for himself, showing off his offensive talent to his heart's content.

In the 5th minute, he tried to cooperate with his teammates to hit the wall at the front of the penalty area, but it was a pity that he was stabbed by the defender in the end and failed to form a shot.

No. In the 13th minute, he took a shot against the ball from the penalty area line, and the football went slightly wide of the goal.

No. In the 201st minute, Ali dribbled the ball into the front of the penalty area, and a slanted plug was thrown to Greg Jones who was plugging in. Jones made an inverted triangle pass after the bottom. Ali rushed to the horse and pushed and shot!

The football goes through the gap between the defenders and goes straight into the bottom right corner of the goal!

The goalkeeper didn't respond and could only watch the football hit the net!

One to zero!

No. In 30 minutes, it was Ali again. After receiving Hill's reply, he took a long shot in front of the penalty area!

The ball was thrown by the goalkeeper, but Aubadei, who rushed to the goal, made a follow-up shot, two to zero!

No.403 minutes, Ali took advantage of the gap between the defensive lines, inserted obliquely into the penalty area, and made a cross pass. Antoine Hill's shovel shot from the small penalty area line extended the score to [-]-[-]!

Bury almost sealed the victory in the first half!

Weller in the stands finally understood why Zhang Chong spent a lot of money to buy Ali.

This is simply a rising star!

The boss is indeed the boss, there is almost no time to miss it!

In the second half, Bury took the initiative to shrink, and Oxford United also scored a consolation goal in the final stage of the game.

In the end, Bury won Oxford United [-]-[-] at home!

At the post-match press conference, Zhang Chong said meaningfully: "Although the absence of Mesias has hurt us a lot, those who look down on us because of this, I can only say that your vision is too bad!"

He paused, and then said again: "Of course, I also have to thank you for your underestimation, which can motivate us to move forward again and again, thank you!"

In a certain office of a certain newspaper in Manchester, someone slammed the keyboard angrily: "This Oriental is too deceitful!"
