Football: My coaches are all world-class stars

There is really nothing to say about Zhang Bo's treat, anyway, the relationship between the brothers has become more harmonious.

Especially Xu Erle, from the beginning of "social terror", to now Zhang Bo's good brother, can be said to be Zhang Bo's hardcore.

I don't know if Zhang Bo's departure will have some impact on Xu Erle.

...

Leaving is always a matter of next season, and the goals of this season must be completed.

Zhang Bo followed his teammates to Middlesbrough.

As a city in the northeast of England, Middlesbrough is quite far from London.

But no matter how far away, England only has this area in total, and it won't go much if you drive more.

In fact, Zhang Bo has always believed that the domestic league has not been able to develop and distance is a big problem.

It was too much effort to fly for two hours.

Although there are many games in the Premier League, taking Millwall as an example, there are more than ten derbies played in a year without leaving London.

The other Liverpool, Manchester City, and Leicester are not far away, so the journey is much easier.

Like the Italian region, the Spanish region, and the French region, it's all like this.

But this is only a very small reason. The essential reason why the league is not doing well is that it is fundamentally rotten.

...

Speaking of which, the history of Middlesbrough is also quite funny.

Middlesbrough Football Club was established in 1876 by a group of members of the Middlesbrough Woodball Club.

The purpose of establishment is to maintain state.

At that time, football was a sport for wooden players to keep in shape during the winter off-season, and football clubs organized by wooden clubs were very common at that time.

In history, Middlesbrough also has some glorious history.

For example, in 1949, Middlesbrough bought Andy Dunson from Newcastle with the world's first five-figure transfer fee, creating a transfer fee record at the time.

Another example is that in the 92-93 season, it was also one of the founding members of the Premier League.

They won the English League Cup in the 03-04 season and the UEFA Cup runner-up in the 05-06 season. In the final, they unfortunately lost to Seville in Spain.

However, although Middlesbrough has some glory compared to Millwall in history, the current situation is far from Millwall.

In the lineup, the more famous ones include the veteran Stewart Downing born in 1984, the old Spanish striker Alvaro Negredo born in 1985, and the defensive backbone Daniel Ayala who was selected into the PFA Team of the Year.

Originally they also had the legendary Spanish goalkeeper Victor Valdes, but in January last year, the 36-year-old Valdes announced his retirement.

Generally speaking, the famous players are a bit old, and the young players have not yet had a superstar like Zhang Bo. If they want to return to the Premier League, they need a little luck and a little opportunity.

...

Stuart Downing, born in 84, and Alvaro Negredo, born in 85, were both too old to start.

Middlesbrough's lineup is still dominated by the Mesozoic.

The combination of central defenders is Bernardo Espinosa and Daniel Ayala, the midfielder includes Martin De Roon from the Netherlands, England's native player Adam Forshaw, etc., and the striker made his debut in Patrick Bamford of Nottingham.

Among them, the one with the best future development may be Martin De Roon from the Netherlands. He went to Atlanta in the future and was selected for the Dutch national team.

But well...

The Dutch team in the future will be top-heavy. The defense has a bunch of talents, but it is a pity that the midfield is withered.

The specific strength of Martin de Roon is still far from those of his outstanding predecessors.

...

With the completion of a series of entering ceremonies, Zhang Bo's League Cup quarter-finals began soon.

After the game started, it was obviously Millwall who took the initiative at the Riverside Stadium.

Zhang Bo, who had suffocated all his energy during the suspension of the last game, had a complete advantage in the face of Bernardo Espinosa and Daniel Ayala.

The main target is Bernardo Espinosa.

Although the Colombian central defender is tall and big, his turning speed is very slow, which is very similar to the French defender Le Marchand that Zhang Bo met in the British Championship.

It's just that he was able to handle Le Marchand back then, how can Espinosa stop him now?

Xu Erle made a deft back ball, and Zhang Bo got Espinoza behind him.

Then the step point didn't go through too much adjustment, just one step with the left foot, lift the leg and shoot!

Espinosa from behind can only look at the ball and sigh, there is nothing he can do!

He watched Zhang Bo make a beautiful arc with his left foot, breaking the deadlock on the field.

...

"1-0!"

"Only 8 minutes into the game, Zhang Bo abused Middlesbrough's defense!"

"Espinosa turned around like an aircraft carrier, and was seized by Zhang Bo. This talented player who was unable to play in the previous game did not miss the opportunity and directly blasted a high-quality shot!"

"He has evolved too fast. He was just able to play as a substitute in the British Championship last season, and he is no longer an opponent at all."

Just like throwing Messi into the major leagues of the United States, it is purely a dimensionality reduction blow.Now Zhang Bo is completely abusive in the British Championship.

After Zhang Bo scored a goal, he also celebrated a little, but he was not very excited.

Now he can also choose an opponent. For an opponent like Middlesbrough, there is really no need to be very excited.

Only 10 minutes later, Zhang Bo scored another high-quality long shot at a distance of 30 meters from the goal, helping the team open the score.

With 0-2 behind, Middlesbrough almost lost its combat effectiveness.

Originally, Middlesbrough's focus was entirely on competing for promotion opportunities. The League Cup can only be said to depend on luck, and it counts wherever it goes.

So although this will be behind and it is a home game, it is not a full-scale counterattack.

To put it bluntly, I still didn't take this game to heart.

...

Seeing that the game was going so smoothly and the opponent had no chance to counterattack, Ranieri replaced Zhang Bo at halftime.

In the end, Millwall defeated Middlesbrough very easily in the quarter-finals of the League Cup, approaching the semi-finals of the League Cup.

But there is no good luck in the semi-finals. They will face the Premier League overlord, Manchester City.

Of course, the Chelsea VS Arsenal game on the other side was also very exciting, but the semi-finals finally had no upsets, and the rest were more difficult to play than the other.

Fortunately, Manchester City is fighting on multiple fronts. Compared with the league, the Champions League, and even the FA Cup, the League Cup is not their focus...
