Football: Rejected by the national football team, I will fly to England

“Petersburg side-”

“Peterborough United, who are sitting at home today, gave a 3331 formation, as always, a standard attacking formation, a three-back system.”

“But what’s different from the past is…”

Senior Colonel Guan looked at the screen and skillfully introduced, “Today, Petersburg’s lineup has changed a little. ”

“Marriott and Norburn are both in the starting line-up in Petersburg.”

“Of course it’s not a signing, but I think if you watch the first two rounds of the game between Petersburg and West Brom, you should be familiar with these two players.”

“Speaking of…”

“Marriott and Norburn, in the first two seasons, were the absolute main players in Petersburg during the League One period, and the kind of “060” starters in the league were almost full-time, and they were also the main contributors to Petersburg’s successful promotion to the Championship last season…”

“The reason why I didn’t play in the starting position this season…”

“One is because Darren used this main lineup for League One upgrades at the beginning of the season, but we can also see the results,”

“These main players who play very well in the League One, in the Championship, it can be said that they have not been able to adapt to the intensity of the Championship game, and Peterborg at the beginning of the season has also lost consecutive games, and the points ranking has been in the bottom of the relegation zone, and even became the deputy captain of the league for a while, together with the current Barnsley, holding the bottom two ranking.”

“Of course, it’s not surprising.”

‘Whether it’s last season’s League One Golden Boot winner Harris, Mariott or Norburn, these guys have played most of their careers in the third tier of the English league.

“Including before going to Petersburg.”

“The vast majority of them are also playing in League One, or even a lower level of League Two.”

“Petersburg also has no money to bring in after the upgrade, just such a squad, playing League A is okay, to play the Championship, it will definitely be unadaptable.”

“…… Second, it is Lin Xu’s outbreak, Randall, Kanu, Dembele, these younger and more dynamic players, obviously have a more tacit understanding with Lin Xu. ”

‘That’s the main reason why we haven’t seen Marriott and Norburn guys play during the past St. Petersburg’s winning streak.

‘But Marriott has shown in the last three games that he can improve and adapt to Petersburg’s current attacking formation, and he has scored in all three of his last three big wins, and the goals in three games are already much more than the seven starting goals he played at the beginning of the season.”

‘He can change a little and I think Darren would be happy to give him a chance, which is why Peterberg changed formation today and brought Marriott up front on the right wing.

“As for Norburn—”

‘Norburn has actually been the heart of Peterborough’s midfield in the past…’

“But within this Petersburg team now.”

‘The priority in midfield was given to Dembele, Hamilton and Knight.

“And when it comes to substitution.”

“Usually Lin Xu, who is not physically good enough, will occupy a fixed substitution quota.”

“Petersburg most often plays a three-back system, which also allows Darren Ferguson, in addition to Lin Xu’s substitutions, more will be given to the players with greater physical consumption in the backcourt, so that even Beevers, Thompson, these substitute defenders have a lot more rotations during this time, and Norburn, the former midfield core, has never been given the opportunity to play…”

“But I mentioned it just now.”

Senior Colonel Guan changed his tone and continued, “The last match between Petersburg and West Bromwich Albion happened to encounter several main players, including the core of the backcourt Edwards, who were shuffled and suspended, and Petersburg had no one available at the back, so Norburn went to make a cameo appearance as a defender and got a long-lost starting opportunity. ”

“You all remember, right?”

“In that game, although Lin Xu and Randall performed very well, Norburn’s cameo as a left-back was also amazing enough… Not only is the success rate in interception and steals the highest in the game, but several of Petersburg’s goals were initiated by Norborn in the backcourt, in addition, he also rode alone in the final stoppage time and completed a very wonderful and beautiful goal…” ）

“If it weren’t for the performance of Lin Xu and Randall who were so good, I even think that the best of the game was given to Norburn, who played as a guest defender, it would have been completely possible——”

“I think it’s precisely for this reason: 0”

“It gave Darren the idea of transforming Norburn, having Norburn go straight from midfield to defender.”

“After all, as we all know, Petersburg’s guard line is actually not too stable except for Edwards, the main defenders Butler and Kent, although the performance is quite good, but it is only good, whether in the defensive end or the offensive end, the contribution is far less than Norborn’s guest guard performance…”

“And their former captains, Beavers, and Thompson, to be honest, can no longer keep up with the speed of the team’s progress, and when they are on the field, they will always be the breakthrough point for the other side.”

“Under such conditions.”

“If Norburn can play as the main defender and partner with Edwards, it will definitely be much more stable than their original backline.”

“So.”

“Norburn is once again in the starting line-up in Petersburg today.”

“In the 1.4 series of the three defenders, to play such a role as a left-back.”

“This is also the best change that Petersburg can make without a signing in the winter window this year, and if Norburn can keep performing as well as when he played West Brom, it will definitely be good for Petersburg’s road to the title…”

“After all, Petersburg has always been more offensive than defensive.”

“But Norburn’s attributes allow him to be helpful both in attack and more consistent in defence…”

Colonel Guan talked eloquently.

Zhan Jun finally found an opportunity to interject.

“In fact, the starting of these two former main players, I think the main thing is that there is a change in mentality.”
