Fox in the Penalty Area

When Catalan fans were celebrating wildly, Zhang Qinghuan and Yong Jun in front of the TV sighed at the same time, and leaned back on the back of the sofa.

They were all lamenting that Leeds were only seven minutes ahead.

In their view, Leeds City unexpectedly chose to take the initiative after the opening game. They were very brave and played very well, so they scored a goal, which is a compliment for all their efforts.

But in just seven minutes, this award was brutally taken away.

It seems that the score of 1:1 is to bring the two sides of the game back to the same starting line.

But neither Zhang Qinghuan nor Yong Jun thought so.

For Leeds City, whose lead was equalized, this is not returning to the same starting line, it is being kicked down the cloud.

After the initial regret, Yong Jun said to himself: "It's okay, at least Hu Lai scored a goal, it's not a loss..."

Zhang Qinghuan beside him also nodded, agreeing to Uncle Yong's words.

Can Leeds beat Catalan away?

I am afraid that many people will not seriously think about this question, because the ending is almost certain. It is as strong as the King of Madrid coming here, so why can Leeds beat Catalan here?

So it is normal to be equalized.

The key is that Hu Lai scored at the Holy Family Stadium, so even if Leeds City loses the game, it doesn't matter.

Looking at Leeds City's performance in the Champions League this season, many Hu Lai supporters actually have this mentality-no matter what Leeds City's performance is, as long as Hu Lai can score goals, they think it is something worth celebrating matter.

After all, with the overall strength of Leeds City, it is too difficult to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.

The performance of players and teams can be viewed separately.

Chinese fans are Hu Lai fans first, and Leeds City fans second.

As long as Hu Lai can score every game, even if Leeds City is relegated, Chinese fans don't care. Anyway, with Hu Lai's performance, he can be transferred to a more powerful team-in the past two months or so, because Leeds City's performance in the two-lane battle in the Champions League and the league is not very good , There have been voices among Chinese fans asking Hu Lai to leave the "garbage team" of Leeds City as soon as possible.

The dignified Premier League champions have been reduced to a "garbage team" in just a few months...

This is professional football,

When you perform well, countless people praise you, praise you, and mold you into a sports miracle. And once you perform badly, so many praises are unlikely to save your reputation and destiny.

The Catalan United, which equalized the score in just seven minutes, boosted their morale and continued to attack the goal of Leeds City amidst the crazy cheers of the fans.

And Leeds City, which was not good at defending, could not attack such a rapid offensive from the Catalan United.

Although their coach Clark didn't ask them to shrink their defense, they all shrank in their 30-meter zone and defended passively.

On the sidelines, Leeds City head coach Tony Clark and assistant coach Sam Randyll watched the field nervously, not daring to take a breath.

It seems that the louder breathing on their side will affect the performance of the Leeds City players on the field...

Not to mention the Leeds City fans in front of the TV.

In the big and small bars in Leeds, it was full of people, and they were all paying attention to this game.

In fact, they did not have any expectations for the result of this game before the game. I just hope that Leeds City can play their own style in the away game, at least they can score a goal, and don't "disgrace" Leeds City's reputation for being extremely good at attacking.

As a result, seeing the team playing so well after the opening game, many people's minds became alive.

This kind of lively thinking reached its peak after Hu Lai opened the scoring for Leeds City and helped the team take the lead-many people couldn't help but fantasize while cheering:

It would be great if we could beat Catalan in the away game!

The illusion lasted just seven minutes before a header from Swedish centre-forward Edmund Pettersson was shattered.

Next, Catalan United's fierce offensive brought these overthinking Leeds City fans back to reality.

Tell them that in the face of the stark difference in strength, it would be considered an upset for Leeds City to keep a draw. How dare they imagine beating Catalonia in an away game?

What do they think of Catalan?

When Mario Salado received the ball, his back was facing the attacking direction. Behind him, Leeds City right-back Josh Lawler was close to him, holding him and preventing him from turning easily.

Faced with such a defense, Salado directly rubbed the passed ball, and then picked it behind him!

Withdraw at the same time and turn around!

Caught Lawler off guard!

When Salado turned around and sprinted behind him, he still maintained the posture of resisting the opponent just now, and couldn't turn around... It was as if the Internet speed of the whole person was delayed.

"Oh! Beautiful! Super Mario!!" The Spanish TV commentator cheered Mario Salado with a drawn out voice.

The cheers in the stands were even louder, like thunder that suddenly exploded.

As soon as Salado, who had thrown off Lawler, caught up with the football, he picked up the football again with his left foot.

"Two people in a row! Salado is in excellent condition! Be careful!" British commentator Matthew Cox exclaimed again and again.

If this were at Leeds City's home court, I'm afraid the boos would have given people a heart attack...

After picking the ball twice in a row, Salado was still at the end of his battle. He tried to control the football for the third time, but was disturbed by Charlie Potter who was catching up. He couldn't stop the ball. Center back Teddy Bradford cleared Football Bigfoot.

Although he failed in the end, Salado's performance still won him cheers and applause from the Catalan fans in the stands.

Among them, Valero yelled the loudest and clapped the hardest, and his palms turned red.

He could see that after Hu Lai scored, his good friend was completely activated.

Unlike before, who always yelled "I want to defeat Hu", this time Mario actually put it into action.

Valero is happy for his friend from the bottom of his heart.

"Mario!"

Salado heard Captain Rosas yelling, he turned his head and saw the captain giving him a thumbs up, so a smile bloomed on his face, which was still somewhat regretful and annoyed before.

In the next game, Salado clearly felt that there were more balls coming from the captain.

Obviously this is because his two consecutive outstanding performances made the captain decide to temporarily adjust the team's main attack direction.

This is the captain's regard for himself, but it also means huge responsibility and pressure.

But Salado is not afraid of pressure.

His whole body is like a roaring sports car on the track, and he can't wait to step on the accelerator to the bottom.

He feels as if he has become the protagonist of this game. He can do whatever he wants on the court and do whatever he wants.

If he wants to surpass others, he can surpass others.

At first Leeds had only one right back, Josh Lawler, guarding him, and then the full-backs Charlie Potter and Josh Lawler guarded him together.

But even in the face of two people, Salado did not flinch and bravely went forward.

As for Leeds City, even though there are two people, it is difficult to defend...

Charlie Potter saw that Lawler had blocked Salado, so he wanted to steal the ball from the side.

As a result, the opponent stepped on the football with his right foot and pulled it back, and the person stepped on the sideline and used the instep of his left foot to quickly turn the pulled football to the left, and the football passed between Lawler's legs like this!

Followed by Salado, he jumped up to avoid Lawler's sweeping leg, and when he landed, he made a sudden effort, started on the spot with astonishing explosive power, bypassed Lawler and Charlie Potter, and chased after the football .

The football rolled forward close to the sideline, and when it was about to roll out of the sideline, it was brought back by Salado's left foot. Then he cuts in!

Then blocked Potter who was chasing back, forcing him not to make a mistake.

In this way, he headed towards the penalty area against Charlie Potter.

But this time when he faced Teddy Bradford's defense, he didn't continue to fight alone like the previous few times. He passed an inverted triangle and passed the football to the captain Luo who was responding on the ribs outside the penalty area. SARS.

After passing the ball, he didn't stay in place to watch the show, but continued to run laterally, running from Bradford's side into the penalty area.

Bradford didn't care about him, and quickly retreated to the middle to help Ben Grist defend.

Rosas had his sights set on the box before receiving the ball, so even though Pete Williams pounced on him, he failed to interfere.

He kicked a pass directly and kicked the football into the penalty area again!

The goal of the pass is not the team's center Paterson, but Salado's ribs!

Salado, who was originally running sideways, suddenly changed direction and went straight in while he was kicking!

"Rosas' pick pass...beautiful! Salado!!"

The decibels of cheers at the Holy Family Stadium climbed to a peak.

Because everyone saw that Mario Salado had appeared behind Leeds City's defense line. Although the position was a bit off, there was no Leeds City player beside him!

"Salado—!"

Amid the protracted roar of the Spanish commentator, Mario Salado glanced back at the football and began to adjust his pace as the football fell. Come out, then swing your right leg... and draw the flying football directly towards the goal!

Boom!

A muffled sound was drowned in the even louder din.

The football turned into a white light and flew towards the far corner of the Leeds City goal!

The goalkeeper van der Ven swung his left hand reflexively, but failed to touch the ball. The football flew past his fingertips and hit the far side net!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! 'Super Mario'!! He took the lead for Catalan United!! This is his first goal in the Champions League! The first goal helped Catalan United complete the comeback! Really memorable! In the 36th minute, Catalan United led Leeds City 2:1!"

After completing the shot, Salado confirmed that the football was in the goal of Leeds City, turned around and ran towards the stands.

Along the way, there were Catalan players on and off the field who wanted to hug him and celebrate, but he got rid of them with his dexterous body shape and change of direction.

He didn't stop until he reached the bottom of the stands where Valero was, raised his arms and pointed to the area where Valero was, shouting at the same time: "This ball is for you, Antonio!"

Then he was overwhelmed by the swarming Catalan teammates...

Valero in the stands saw Salado pointing at himself, and he blushed with excitement: "Well done, Mario!! Well done! I'm proud of you!!"

The Catalan fans around him cheered and waved their arms, echoing the players below.

The stands up and down turned into a sea of ​​joy.
