“Middlesbrough and Gao Yundili face off in Premier League promotion play-off semi-final”

Middlesbrough is ranked 4th in the English Championship this season, and has the opportunity to fight for a place in the Premier League through the promotion play-offs. The first hurdle is the high cloud location, and then the opponent is the winner of Luton or Sunderland (Sunderland won 1:0 in the first round ). The performance of the leader of the Mibao team, Karik, was well received. In the current battle, one sentence highlights his fighting spirit to win the wave. Even though the team has achieved good results, Carrick was asked if he could compare with the achievements of his player era. He said bluntly: “It is not yet an achievement. Everyone’s attention is on the play-offs. Let’s comment later!”

The former Manchester United midfielder won all the local championships as a player and was also a contributor to the Europa League. It is generally believed that if Middlesbrough fails to be promoted, he may also be poached by the Premier League.

Compared with Carrick, the younger generation of fans may not know Robbins (Mark Robins). He is a product of Manchester United’s youth training. He played for the Red Devils for four years in the late 1980s and early 1990s. His representative work is definitely the 1990 FA. In the rematch of the top 4 of the Cup, he helped Manchester United get tickets to the final with his extra time. There is no doubt that if Manchester United hadn’t won the cup, Ferguson might have lost his favor. How could there be prosperity after that? Therefore, Robbins actually played an important role in the history of Manchester United.

The battle against Middlesbrough is imminent, and Robbins threatened to fight with his life: “We have nothing to fear. Players come to the play-offs and have to go all out and fight to the end.” He continued: “I am proud of the players, and I believe that we will be able to go one step further.”

“If there is no effort, there will be no return. Players have to fight with their lives. We have played 46 wonderful league games, and there are at most 3 games left. It may also be the most important stage of some players’ careers.” Gao Yun is in a good place. In the 1-1 tie between Ke Zhan and Middlesbrough, Robbins praised the strength of the opponent: “They have the quality of the Premier League. You can see their ability to move the ball, so we have to take the initiative and create opportunities to score goals.”

Robbins returned to the nest in 2017 and coached Gao Yundi for the second time. He was brought back to the British Championship from the second division. Now he is expected to return to the Premier League stage after more than 20 years.
