Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

At 6 pm on April 28, the Brentford Community Stadium was brightly lit.

The 44th round of the English Championship, Brentford and Rotherham are about to start!

Brentford Community Stadium is also known as the Geffen Stadium. This stadium can only accommodate 13,000 spectators at most.

As a small town, it is understandable that there are few seats.

However, in the future, after being promoted to the Premier League, Brentford has adjusted the stadium seats.

The adjusted Brentford Community Stadium can accommodate more than 17,000 people.

This is definitely not comparable to Old Trafford, White Hart Lane and Wembley, but it is also the Wembley in the minds of local fans!

At the pre-match press conference a day ago, Rotherham coach Paul Vaughan answered questions of concern to the media reporters, and at the same time, he showed the reporters the team's determination to win!

"It's hard for me to judge whether Chen's performance was a flash of inspiration or a sudden enlightenment, but I can guarantee that my players will not give him any chance to show himself!"

"We will limit him at Geffen Park!"

"Tell me about the defensive arrangement for Chen Chen? Sorry, no comment. Maybe you can pay attention to the tactical arrangement on the field, if you can see it."

"Yes! It will be difficult to play here, especially when both sides have reasons to win."

"Okay, don't ask questions about Chen Chen anymore. He is not Messi, nor C Ronaldo, nor De Bruyne, Josep (Guardiola)'s favorite. He just happened to be Just a player who suddenly performed well in a game. "

"Maybe we can talk about Ivan Toni and Matthias Jensen. I think they are the key to the game."

"Victor Johansson still needs to recover from his injury. Blackman will continue to play in this game."

"I am extremely optimistic about winning. Although it is not good to say this, Brentford has four injured players, all of whom are main players. This is good news for us."

"Yes, here, at Geffen Park, we will get those three damn points!"

Frank attended the pre-match press conference one after another.

A reporter asked him what he thought of Paul Vaughan's words "Chen Chen is just a player who happened to suddenly perform well in a game."

Frank just shook his head and replied,

"Suddenly? Well, after playing 90 minutes, I hope he can still stick to this statement."

"Chen Chen is the most talented player I have ever seen! In the future, his name will be remembered by everyone!"

"The injuries of Da Silva and others? It's not ideal. I told my players that maybe we have to adapt to the games without them at the end of the league."

"Yes! It's difficult! Rotherham wants to stay in the league, and we want to be promoted to the Premier League! Compared with the big win over Bournemouth, this will be a completely different game."

"Will Chen Chen start? I don't know, but in my team, whoever is in good shape can start!"

"If Watford beats Norwich, will they be promoted to the Premier League in advance?"

Frank raised his eyebrows,

"There is nothing we can do about it, after all, the initiative is in their hands."

"But we will try our best to do our best and leave no regrets!"

"...."

The key battle for the team's promotion, the tickets for the Little Bees game have been sold out long ago.

However, outside the stadium, there were still many fans who didn't buy tickets gathered here in twos and threes, drinking beer and looking at the big screen set up by the club.

On the big screen, the starting players of both teams have already stepped onto the field!

Chen Chen was among them!

The media reporters on the sidelines of the stadium quickly pointed the camera at Chen Chen.

As a young player who has become famous in recent days, all media people and fans have become interested in him.

In addition, the offers of Chen Chen by many teams disclosed by the media are also very topical.

After all, there are too few stories of becoming famous with one ball!

Everyone began to speculate why this young player who has only 14 starts this season, including only 15 starts in this game, has been favored by so many teams?

Is it just because of a super performance?

What if he is forgotten by everyone later?

No one knows. . .

Because the team captain and main right back Jansen suddenly felt unwell during training earlier, Frank arranged a 3412 formation today.

The right back is England defender Goode, the left is Pinnock, and the center is Danish defender Maas Sorensen.

The 4 midfielders, from left to right, are Canos, Yanert, Gudos and Rollslev.

Rollslev is the defender.

When defending, heHe can retreat to Goode and assist Goode in sweeping the right side.

Correspondingly, when attacking, Canos can move forward and play as a left winger. The player who plays as a front midfielder retreats and plays as a central midfielder, and Brentford can change to 433.

Who is the front midfielder?

It is Chen Chen.

The two forwards are Ivan Toni and midfielder Marcondes.

The goalkeeper is David Raya.

When the starting lineup came out, Brentford fans were really puzzled.

You took off Matthias Jensen and let Chen Chen, who performed well in the last game, replace him as a front midfielder, which is naturally possible.

But what the hell is Marcondes starting!

There are Fosu Henry and Forsh, but why not?

Good, good, good! Learning from Guardiola, right!

In the Champions League quarter-finals a week ago, Guardiola creatively used De Bruyne as a center forward!

It really shocked everyone!

You know, although Akun was injured, Manchester City's bench was filled with Sterling, Jesus, and Ferran Torres, who transferred in the last summer window for 33.5 million euros!

Let Dingding start? Why so!

In the end, it was a close call. Manchester City completed the reversal at the Westfalen Stadium, won the game 2-1, and entered the Champions League semi-finals 4-2 in two rounds!

Let's get back to the point.

No matter how unhappy the Little Bees fans are, the team's starting lineup has been determined, and it cannot be changed except for sudden injuries.

They can only pray that Frank must have a reason to use such people!

Rotherham also arranged a 3412 formation.

Their starting striker is a real striker.

They are Michael Smith, who scored 9 goals this season,

and Obenet, who scored zero goals!

Well, what's the difference between this zero-goal striker and the previous midfielder?

Marcondes at least scored two goals.

With this comparison, Brentford fans feel a little relieved.

The attacking midfielder is Scottish Lindsay.

This guy came from the Celtic youth training. His entire career was either on loan or on the way to loan.

The four midfielders are Giles, Wiles, Lewis Wing and Wes Harding.

The most worth mentioning among these people is Giles.

Born in Wolves U18, he never played in the Wolves first team. During the 7 years at Wolves, except for the offseason, he spent the rest of the time in other teams.

The most interesting is the 2021 winter window.

The young English midfielder returned to the team after the loan from Coventry expired, but before he arrived at the Wolves base, he was sent to Rotherham. . .

On the back line, the two fullbacks are McDonald and Ihiekou.

In the center is Richard Wood.

The goalkeeper is Blazeman.
