Fox in the Penalty Area

Leeds City, who made tactical adjustments through substitutions, launched a fierce attack on the Catalan United goal in the remaining ten minutes.

The Leeds City fans who were much quieter in the stands also shouted again, singing constantly, cheering for the team, being the most solid backing for the players on the field, and fighting side by side with them as the best twelfth man.

Before this game, Leeds City fans basically walked into the Flanders Stadium with a "holiday" mood.

But now, they have put the idea of ​​​​"appreciating the performance of Catalan superstars" behind them, and they no longer have the arrogance to want to beat Catalan at home.

Now they hope that Leeds City can score in the game.

It doesn't matter how many goals... how many goals, as long as it can be scored.

And judging from the head coach's substitution adjustment, he really thinks so.

There is nothing to say, just do your best to cheer for the team in the stands.

That's the only thing a fan can do.

Amidst the cheers from the Leeds City fans, Salado, who was sitting on the bench, looked nervous.

He was substituted in the 67th minute.

His performance in this game was not as good as in the previous game against Vesuvius.

Although very active and hardworking, he neither assisted nor scored.

So when Barcelona led by three goals, their coach Jose Bernal made adjustments, and the first one to be replaced was Mario Salado.

When he was substituted, the Spanish commentator also commented: "... Salado played very positively in this game, but obviously the energy was not in the right place. To be honest, the three goals of the Catalan United It has nothing to do with him. But this is the characteristic of young players. It is normal to have a good game and a bad game... There is no need to worry about the performance of a game..."

He was comforting Salado's fans, as well as Salado himself.

Because it can be seen that the expression on Salado's face, who was replaced, is not good-looking, and he doesn't seem to want to be replaced.

It is normal not to want to be replaced. No young player is willing to be replaced early. They always have more fighting spirit and motivation to play,

After all, young players have fewer chances to play than older players.

But with Salado's performance, it's really hard not to be replaced...

But seeing Salado, who was still frowning and dignified after being replaced, many people couldn't understand why he still had this expression...

After all, the Catalan United have already led Leeds City by three goals.

To say that the start of the second half was a bit dangerous, it is easy to think of the embarrassing situation in the last round of the Champions League group stage where they led by three goals and were chased by Vesuvius for two consecutive goals. So after Paterson scored twice, the Catalan United has obviously stabilized.

Even if Leeds City can score, it will be difficult to chase three goals in such a short time...

Antonio Valero, who sat next to Salado, knew why his good friend was unwilling to be substituted and why he was so nervous after being substituted.

He was worried about Hu Lai's goal.

In this game, Salado himself did not score or assist. If Hu Lai also scored, wouldn't he be temporarily behind?

So he especially didn't want Hu Lai to score.

Valero didn't know how to comfort Salado, he couldn't say "don't worry, Hu will definitely not score", right?

Who can guarantee this?

If Hu Lai scored a goal just after talking about it, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

Leeds City, who replaced Lorenzo and put on a desperate posture, continued to attack amidst waves of cheers from the home fans.

Their offensive was so fierce that the Catalan United had to shrink their defense and choose to avoid the edge temporarily.

Leeds City finally managed to break through the Catalan United goal in the 83rd minute!

It's just that it wasn't Hu Lai who scored the goal, but Jay Adams.

Liberated from his defensive duties, he was pressed into the penalty area. Lorenzo competed with Fortune in front of the goal. After fighting for the football, he fell right in front of Adams, while another Catalan central defender Jimen Nice was firmly nailed a little farther away by Hou Lai, and Adams was under little defensive pressure. He didn't stop the ball and volleyed directly!

The football flew into the goal guarded by Catalan goalkeeper Carlos Cordero!

When the football flew into the goal, the entire Flemish stadium erupted into a huge cheer, as if they had won the game...

The Leeds City fans in the stands vented all their emotions. At this time, they no longer think about those wild dreams before. Even if they lose the game, this ball is enough to comfort their restless hearts.

Only the Chinese fans are sorry, after all, they still hope that Hu Lai will score the goal.

This is Catalan! If Hu Lai can score for Catalan United, he will be the first Chinese player to score against a European giant!

Qin Lin had never done this before...

But there is no way, it is impossible to guarantee that Hu Lai will score in every game, and it is impossible for him to sweep the goals of the Leeds City team.

Otherwise, this may not be a good thing for Hu Lai, because it means that the team he plays for is rubbish-the whole team can only count on Hu Lai to score goals alone, it is almost like Hu Lai is working alone, Everyone else stood by and watched...

In the end, Leeds City lost to Catalan United at home with a score of 1:3. They did not beat the powerful Catalan United at home as some hoped. But a desperate counterattack at the last moment brought them a goal, which can also comfort many people.

After all, this was a goal against Catalan United.

In the first round of the group stage, they scored two goals against the Bay Lighthouse in an away game. In this game, they played against the stronger Catalan United, and they could still score.

It fully demonstrates how powerful their attack firepower is.

Although everyone knew before that Leeds City is good at offense and is the team with the most goals in the Premier League.

But that was only in the Premier League after all. Some people think that this is not the case when they go to Europe.

The level of the Champions League is still higher than that of the Premier League.

Being able to score goals in the Premier League does not mean that you can also score goals in the Champions League.

Now that the two rounds of the Champions League group stage are over, although Leeds conceded four goals, they also scored three goals.

Before this season's Champions League game, the fans of Leeds City once clamored to let the whole of Europe know Leeds City.

Now it seems that after the two rounds of the Champions League group stage, Europe has indeed begun to notice Leeds City and realize what kind of team this is-it can score goals and concede goals, which is indeed very characteristic of Leeds City... …

Although Leeds City lost the game, they still ranked second in this group after two rounds of group matches.

Catalan United, which has won two games and two games, topped the list with six points.

In the other group game, Vesuvius played at home against the Beacon of the Gulf.

It is somewhat surprising that Vesuvius, who performed well in the first round of the group stage, failed to break through the goal of the Gulf Beacon after returning home.

They drew 0-0 with the Turkish Super League champions.

Through this game, we can also see how difficult it was for Leeds City to beat the Bay Lighthouse in an away game.

Because the two teams were tied, Vesuvius ranked third with one point after two games.

The Gulf Lighthouse has one point, although the goal difference is the same as Vesuvius, both -1, but the number of goals is one less than Vesuvius, so they rank at the bottom.

"We won and Hu didn't score yet, it was perfect for me..."

Mario Salado spoke excitedly to his good friend Antonio Valero on the flight back to Barcelona from Leeds.

With a smile on his face, it can be seen that he is really happy and relaxed, and the dissatisfaction when he was replaced in advance has long since dissipated.

"Of course, it would be more perfect if I could score... But it doesn't matter, we have another chance to play against Leeds City. That will be our home game then! I will definitely use goals to prove that I am Merry's opponent!"

In the roar of the cabin, Salado's rhetoric was only heard by Valero beside him.

"Come on, Mario." My good friend encouraged me, "I will cheer you on from the stands!"

"Why is it in the stands?" Salado keenly noticed the key words.

Valero said with a wry smile: "The new season has started for more than a month, and I have only played 21 minutes in the first team. Mr. Bernal talked to me yesterday and will let me continue to stay in the first team for training, but the game If so... let me go back to Team B to play. So I should not be selected for the squad again..."

Salado's eyes widened. He was completely immersed in challenging Hu Lai these days, and he didn't notice the loss of his companions at all.

"But it's okay, I'll cheer you on from the stands, and that's the same, Mario."

Seeing his friend with a forced smile, Salado opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

I'm just secretly ruthless in my heart-when I return to our home court, I must score a goal against Leeds City, and then I will dedicate this goal to Antonio!
