The team's second match will be played on 10 August, with Sheffield United taking on League One side Hartlepool United in the first round of the League Cup.

The English League Cup is a knock-out football competition organized by the English Football League, and the League Cup is only open to members of the Premier League and English Football League (Championship, League One, League Two).

There are 92 members of the League Cup, and the winner can participate in the Europa League qualifying round.

The League Cup is played in seven rounds, with the exception of the semi-finals, all of which are determined by a single knockout match.

The first round of teams includes all Championship, League One and League B teams, with the exception of the European teams participating in the third round, and all other Premier League teams participating in the second round.

For lower-level teams, the League Cup is definitely a good opportunity to make a name for themselves.

They can even get the opportunity to play against strong teams, and in addition to being able to hone the team, they can also get a large amount of ticket money.

Strong teams often like to send young teammates to the League Cup, so there are often unpopular results in which lower-level teams eliminate strong teams.

According to the club's goal, Sheffield United will at least reach the third round of the Carabao Cup this season.

So Hetin Pathom still tried his best to rotate at all.

The day before the match day, the team announced the squad, and Jiang Chen was prominently listed.

This was the last training session before the game, mainly for physical recovery.

After completing his training program, Jiang Chen found Hechinboxum alone, and he wanted to secure a starting position for himself.

After listening to Jiang Chen's request, Hejingbertom fell into silence.

In the past few days, Jiang Chen's hard training has naturally been seen by him, and he also appreciates this Chinese teenager very much.

But he also has his own struggles as a head coach.

"Jiang, you know, Slaif's contract has a very overbearing clause."

"As long as his physical condition allows, he must be the starter."

"And he can only play on the left wing, so your request embarrasses me."

There was a little helplessness in Hekingbertom's tone, but more regretful.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen also nodded lightly to show understanding.

It's a game between the club's top brass and the manager can't intervene at all.

Unless Jiang Chen shoveled Slaif in a training match, but he asked himself, he couldn't do it.

"Good!"

"I understand you!"

Facing the slightly disappointed Hejingbertom, Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and did not have any emotions because of this.

Looking at Jiang Chen's sad departing back, Hejingbertom fell into deep thought.

Just listen to him mutter, in a voice that he can only hear himself:

"Maybe there is another way!"

......

On the day of the match, Jiang Chen still maintained a normal routine and appeared on the training ground at six o'clock in the morning.

On the plastic track, Jiang Chen ran desperately in training clothes.

One lap, two laps, three laps....

He was tireless and frantically released his physical strength, as if this was the only way to relieve the bitterness in his heart.

After running for more than ten kilometers, Jiang Chen finally lay down on the lawn and completely emptied his brain.

"Why?"

"Why?!"

"It's not fair! It's not fair!

Jiang Chen pounded the grass angrily, letting out a low roar like a beast, his eyes covered with blood.

He played so well, but he couldn't get a starting spot.

He couldn't figure it out, why the hell was this?!

At this moment, a cold feeling flowed through his body, which finally eased his mood.

"Nope! I can't do this!

"I must not beat myself up!"

"As long as I persevere, I will definitely have a chance!"

Jiang Chen sat up abruptly, his eyes regained clarity, and he seemed to have found his goal.

In the virtual recovery space, Jiang Chen seriously completed every recovery training and restored his body to the best state.

Even if he doesn't start, he still has a chance to come off the bench.

As long as you have a good performance, you will definitely be able to make the club change its mind and make a difference.

Ten thousand steps back, even if he is looking for a transfer or loan, he will have more bargaining chips!

"Open Properties panel!"

As soon as his mind moved, a green light curtain was projected in front of him.

...

"It's still a little close, the comprehensive ability value can reach 70!"

Looking at his attribute panel, Jiang Chen finally felt a trace of relief, this is his greatest capital!

It's a pity that the current speed of improvement in ability values is slow to be visible to the naked eye.

According to his estimates, it will take at least a month or two!

After leaving the training ground, Jiang Chen had breakfast and came to the tactical analysis room early.

"Hi, Lin, good morning!"

After a while, Potter walked in and sat directly next to Jiang Chen.

"Hi, good morning!"

Jiang Chen nodded politely and greeted as well.

"Jiang, the ball you passed me last game was simply amazing!"

"You can obviously knock on the door yourself, why are you so selfless?"

"I guess there should be no temptation to refuse to score a shot, right?"

Porter is still obsessed with Jiang Chen's assist, but he is still a little confused.

"Thank you for the compliment, because assisting teammates is also a very happy thing!"

Hearing this, Potter was slightly startled, and Jiang Chen's words brought him a great impact.

He has always made it his mission to score goals and only want to be a red flower, not a green leaf for his teammates.

So regardless of whether his teammate's chances are better or not, as long as he gets the opportunity, he will not hesitate to get up and shoot.

"Is it really my mistake...?"

Potter murmured softly, then fell into deep thought.

"Hi, Jiang, you actually came so early?"

"Hahaha, I went to a nightclub with Jesse last night, it's very hi!"

"The girls there are in great shape and have good skills, which will make you explode!"

"Do you want to go together next time??"

"Huh??"
