Chapter 365 Murphy's Attack

It cannot be denied that Aston Villa has made progress in the past two years.

They should at least be able to stay in the lower half of the Premier League.

However, his progress was clearly not as great as Burton's.

They used to drive their opponents crazy, but now they're kicking them with no power.

Grealish is very intelligent; the Villa's rising star was quite active and tried to break through Burton's defense.

But his teammates are not able to provide him with any further assistance for the time being.

This means he always faces two defenders at the same time.

Perhaps one day he will grow to the level of Dybala, who can single-handedly change the course of a battle, but he is clearly not capable of that now.

However, what reassured him somewhat was that his team had Terry in defense.

This veteran is highly experienced and has made outstanding contributions.

Throughout the first half, they prevented the opposing striker from even touching the goal.

But at the start of the second half, the situation seemed to change, with the opposing team's short striker appearing to be very resentful.

As for Murphy himself...

Of course he was resentful.

In the first half, they were completely shut down by Terry's three-pronged attack, and at halftime, they were given a good scolding by their own coach.

Then, he had to suppress these emotions and humbly ask his seniors for advice...

Thank goodness it was him; if it were someone with a bad temper, they would have started tanking on the court by now.

"Leverage the ball... turn... sprint..."

“Remember that my strength is speed, and Terry definitely can’t keep up with me.”

Murphy observed the situation on the field, muttering to himself.

Ibrahimovic and Dybala talked to him quite a bit during those ten-odd minutes.

But in general, it means the same thing.

The opponent was old and frail, and his physical strength and reaction speed were inferior to his. He was able to defend against him entirely by relying on experience.

In that case, we should either use speed to overwhelm the opponent.

Or you could come up with some weird tricks that the opponent has never seen before...

Of course, this refers to moves that Murphy himself hasn't used. You have to force the other party to use moves other than those three basic attacks.

Maybe if the other party is careless, I'll get through!

It turns out that holding your breath can be beneficial.

Because his condition had changed from "good" to "excellent".

Furthermore, based on Li Yanqing's observation, it is highly likely to trigger an [off-the-charts] event!

It will have some impact in the short term, but if it can help players improve their skills, it will be a very profitable deal.

opportunity!

Just then, Kvaradona on the wing passed him another through ball.

However, this kid's passing skills need improvement, because he seems to leave a bit too much space.

The opposing goalkeeper is coming out!

Seeing this, Murphy did not hesitate.

Just run a little faster!

He has a chance to get past the goalkeeper directly!

[Passing the goalkeeper], that's what he's best at!

Of course, Terry, standing to the side, wouldn't let him have his way.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he chose to crash into her head.

Murphy fell to the ground with a swift and decisive motion.

Li Yanqing covered his eyes, unable to bear watching. He had originally thought this kid might put on some kind of unexpected show.

result......

That's it?

Terry, however, pulled Murphy up with a grin.

He felt that this kid still needed to be trained and planned to show him what a top-class defender really is.

Now, not only the players on the field, but even the fans have noticed the problem.

"Murphy is playing terribly today! Why haven't you substituted him yet?"

"Let him rest for two days before he plays again!"

"Hey, Li! Listen to us..."

Thanks to his youth training background and status as a young player, no one attacked Murphy.

They still have high expectations for him.

The fans unanimously chose to point the finger at their head coach.

Even they could see that they needed to change their striker!

Of course, Li Yanqing chose to ignore these voices.

What's wrong with his players' performance?

It's perfectly fine...

In the 50th minute, Dybala delivered another through ball.

The location was pretty good this time!

Murphy had been waiting for a long time because Li Yanqing had given him a sixty-minute time limit, so every minute felt unbearable.

Time is running out!

He reacted immediately when he saw the ball rolling towards him.

The action I had rehearsed in my mind for a long time.

He turned around, and then, as Terry turned around, he suddenly accelerated!

It's still a little slow...

Murphy's heart sank, because Terry had already grabbed his sleeve.

On two previous occasions, he pulled me down directly.

Just when everyone thought nothing would change this time, something unexpected happened.

Murphy finally gave up his brute force approach and instead slowed down, positioned himself, and passed the ball to Kvaradona on the wing.

Then they ran all the way into the opponent's penalty area!

"Did you teach him this trick?"

“He’s not usually capable of this kind of support work.”

Li Yanqing glanced back at Ibrahimovic sitting on the bench. Only he could unlock this skill tree. Murphy, on the other hand, usually just charged forward without thinking about anything else.

“Of course, you can’t be a starting striker if you’re not versatile.” Ibrahimovic nodded with a smile.

This trick works very well, doesn't it?

On the wing, Cvalardona understood what Murphy meant; he was now about ten meters behind his opponent.

By passing the ball back, Murphy was actually creating an opportunity for himself to break through.

After Terry made one defensive play, he couldn't be stopped from continuing his sprint.

Kvalardona contentedly played the role of a tool, passing the ball back without any hesitation.

During this time, Murphy sprinted again and successfully got rid of Terry's defense!

Good, no offside!

[Single-handed expert] activated!

[Pass the goalkeeper] Initiation!

“goooooooooooal!”

"Burton's young player finally got a shot on goal in the second half!"

"No matter how badly they've performed before, that's just how players are sometimes; they need opportunities, even if it's just one..."

The score is now 1-0!

"Ha!" Murphy finally succeeded, but this time it was a different goal than before.

This time, they are facing a top-tier defensive player, Terry, who possesses master-level man-to-man marking skills.

There's nothing more exciting than beating a defender who used to mark him so closely and scoring a goal!

Murphy excitedly ran towards the cheering fans, took off his shirt, and threw it at them!

The fans who received the jerseys were very understanding; they grabbed the jerseys and started waving them around.

"I got a little too excited!"

"What's there to be happy about scoring just one goal!"

Li Yanqing said this aloud, but he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

This kid finally lived up to my expectations.

Unfortunately, the referee quickly came over.

He pointed to Murphy's discarded jersey and then gave him a yellow card...

No taking off your clothes to celebrate!
