Fox in the Penalty Area

"Great job you guys! Guys!"

Once in the locker room, Clark closed the door and couldn't wait to praise his players.

"Although we conceded two goals after leading, it doesn't matter. Let's forget about these two goals. The second half continues to play like we did at the beginning of the first half. Pete, you and Jay will continue to take turns hitting them. Insua..."

Both Williams and Adams nodded.

"After the first half of the game, you should have this kind of confidence - Catalan United is not so strong that they are invincible. Even in their home court, didn't we also score their goals? And not only goals, we The scene is always dominant before the goal. Some people always say that Leeds City is the weakest seeded team in this Champions League, and some people say that we are the weakest Premier League champion in history... Do you like these statements?" Clarke With his hands on his hips, he leaned slightly and asked the team members sitting in front of him.

"No, we don't like it!" Captain Lorenzo and Pete Williams expressed their position on behalf of the team.

"That's right, I don't like the fact that I have put in so much effort to win the championship and qualify for the Champions League, but it is considered shit luck!" Clark waved his fist. "This game is our last chance to prove it! Prove to the whole of Europe at the Sagrada Familia Stadium that we are not the weakest seeded team, nor are we the weakest Premier League champions. Our championship and Champions League qualification are based on strength Fighting! And we... really have such strength! Just like in the first half, we can completely suppress their midfielder! In addition, Catalan United should also continue to attack, so that there will be a lot of space behind them, In the second half, we will try to pass the ball from behind more, and Hu You also need to attack the blind spot behind the opponent's central defender more!"

Hu Lai patted his chest and assured the head coach Clark: "Don't worry, boss, I'm very good at this!"

In the Catalan dressing room, manager José Bernal was also praising his players for their performance, while encouraging them to keep pressing on Leeds' defense in the second half:

"...This is our home stadium. There are more than 80,000 fans supporting us in the stands. You don't need to think about anything else, just think about how to beat your opponent here. It's still like the first half, We must continue to put pressure on the opponent. As long as we can score another goal, we can completely control the initiative of the game. Wait until then to slow down appropriately... But before the goal, don't stop! Don't slow down Come down!"

No team can attack non-stop and maintain a fast-paced offense all the time.

The reason why Bernal said this is because he firmly believes that his team will not take too long to break the goal of Leeds City again.

※※※

The coaches of the two teams both emphasized the importance of continuing to attack during the intermission.

They all want to overwhelm their opponents with offense.

So when the second half of the game started, Leeds City and Catalan United collided without reservation.

"Campsano! He dribbles on the edge of the box for Leeds... beautiful! Swing past Vieira and shoot! Oops - a little over the bar!"

This was Catalan's offensive. In response, Kamara quickly created a wave of threats on the wing, and he successfully broke into the Catalan penalty area. The ball was shoveled out of the baseline by Catalan central defender Fortune, who also fell to the ground.

Many Leeds City fans shouted excitedly in front of the TV: "Penalty!!"

Of course, judging from the slow motion, Fortune's tackle is still clean and there is no foul. He tackled the ball first, and then because of inertia, he couldn't hold his feet and brought Kamara down.

Kamara himself didn't lie on the ground and couldn't get up.

Leeds City took a corner kick, and when the penalty area was full of people, Hu Lai grabbed the spot and hit the goal with a powerful head shake.

It was just a little bit upright, and was held in the arms of Catalan goalkeeper Cordero.

Cordero, who threw the ball, did not lie on the ground to waste time, but directly bypassed the people in front of him, threw the football forward vigorously, and threw it to Mario Salado who was on the side to respond!

"Salado - Catalan United's chance to fight back!"

"Be careful, don't let him pick up the speed!"

Amidst the exclamations of the commentators, Josh Lawler did not rush directly to clear the football before Salado. Instead, he chose to withdraw from the inside and always maintain an inside posture, preventing Salado from giving him a chance, and fighting and retreating to wait for his teammates to return to defense.

When Salado saw this, he dribbled the ball to meet him and killed him - if the mountain is not coming towards me, then I will walk towards the mountain.

Seeing Salado coming towards Lawler, the Catalan fans in the stands cheered excitedly.

Obviously preparing to see what pleasing way Salado can get past Lawler this time.

But Salado didn't make any fancy moves this time. His speed had already been raised, and he just changed direction and accelerated, throwing away Lawler!

In the face of absolute speed advantage, Josh Lawler is completely powerless and can only sigh.

"Dangerous, dangerous!!" He Feng exclaimed.

Fortunately, Salado's shot was higher than the crossbar. After he shot the goal, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

It should be that the continuous dribbling and breakthrough consumed too much physical strength before, which caused the support foot to be not stable enough for the last shot and failed to maintain the center of gravity of the body.

Salado, who fell to the ground, looked very regretful, covering his face with his hands.

The Catalan fans in the stands gave him warm applause and encouraged him.

"Mario Salado is in really good form today. He is also a talented player who was selected into the ten-man list of the best young players in Europe this year. His speed and technology are his greatest strengths... The second half of the game has just started. Minutes, the two sides just came and went, the game was very lively, and both teams created very threatening offensive opportunities. At present, Leeds City did not choose to shrink their defense just because it was an away game, but like the first half The Cathay-Thailand United also did not want to be outdone and took the offensive. Going on like this will definitely lead to goals in the second half..."

"However, He Feng, I just don't know which side scored the goal." Yan Kang said beside him, "It's very dangerous for Leeds City to play like this. If they lose the ball again, there will be no suspense in this game!"

"Yan Kang, you are right, but apart from this method, Leeds City actually has no better choice."

When He Feng said that, Yan Kang remained silent.

It is not the first time for them to explain the game of Leeds City, and they are very clear about the tone of Leeds City.

For this team, don't expect their defense to be so good. Thank God if they can pass. Winning games and championships all depend on offense.

Originally, at the beginning of the season, the defensive midfielder Salif Seydoux, who had been selected to the best team of the Bundesliga season, was introduced, hoping to strengthen the defense of the midfield.

As a result, this dude seemed dissatisfied after he came to the Premier League, his performance was up and down, and he was very unstable.

And stability is the most important requirement for a defensive player.

A month ago, Clark took Seydoux out of the team's starting lineup, and he was obviously disappointed with the transfer bid king of Leeds City this season.

Leeds City's poor performance in two-line combat this season is also related to their poor defense in the midfield.

Since it is difficult to improve the defense for a while, it is better to simply strengthen the offense and replace the defense with a more violent offensive.

This is also a no-brainer.

※※※

"After the start of the second half, both sides held high the banner of attacking. However, judging from the few minutes of the game, the Catalan United's offensive is more threatening. Leeds City chose to attack Catalan United in the away game. There is no way. It's brave to do so, but I'm afraid the result won't be much better..."

In the bar, Matthew Cox's voice plays over the speakers.

In front of the TV, many Leeds City fans raised their middle fingers and spat: "Bah!"

Then they continued to sing to the broadcast screen:

"Go on, Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!"

"We love you, Liz! Liz! Liz!"

"We went through it together, through those ups and downs!"

"We'll walk together until the earth stops spinning!"

The uniform movements are accompanied by their singing, as if they were standing in the stands of the stadium.

Amidst their singing, Leeds City attacked.

Goalkeeper van der Ven did not kick the football forward with a big foot, but passed it to the left back Quinn who pulled the side to respond.

Seeing Quinn catch the ball, Charlie Porter on the other side went to the sideline and raised his arms high, motioning for Quinn to transfer the football over.

But it was too far away, and Quinn didn't do that.

Because of Catalan's high-position pressing tactics, he couldn't pass the football to Kamara or someone else who was close to him. He chose to pass the football back to the goalkeeper Van der Ven.

Van der Ven then transferred the football to the full-back Lawler on the other side.

Salado rushed forward and wanted to fight back directly in the frontcourt.

Lawler didn't bother him too much, and directly passed the football to Charlie Potter, who was pulling side to support him.

No sooner had Charlie Porter received the ball than Catalan left-back Francisco Calderon pressed forward, giving him no time to adjust his observations, and Porter crossed the ball to Jay Adams, who was closest to him. .

Adams helped him divert the football to the left.

After the football kicked off from van der Ven, it circled around and came to Kamara's side.

But Kamara was also followed - Catalan right-back Osquey ran with Kamara and prevented him from receiving the ball.

Kamara was completely unable to hold the football under Osquel's close press, but it didn't bother him. When he ran to the outside, he directly knocked the football behind with his heel, where Pete Williams led Then Insua came up to catch the ball.

After passing the ball, Kamara accelerated to bypass Osquel, overtook from the outside lane, and ran forward.

Under the defense of Insua, Williams directly sent a through ball and passed the football to Kamara who was going forward!

"Beautiful! Leeds City finally opened a breakthrough through continuous passing! Kamara brought up the speed!"

From the moment Kamara passed the football to Williams with his heel, Hou Lai rushed forward with him in sync. He was not as fast as Kamara, and he could only keep up with Kamara's rhythm in this way.

At the far end behind him, Polish striker Dominic Laski also sprints.

Leeds City's three arrows rushed towards the Catalan United penalty area!

The Catalan fans in the stands disturbed them with huge boos, but their boos were more like the whistling wind in front of the speed-up Leeds United attack.

This kind of wind has no effect on the Leeds City players. It can only stimulate them to move forward!

Because Osquey was broken by Kamara, Fortune, the faster of the two Catalan central defenders, rushed to the side to make up the defense.

Jimenez is left alone to guard the middle.

Hu Lai did not run obliquely to the front point, but ran behind Jimenez to the penalty area, following the request of coach Clark, attacking the opponent's blind spot and inserting behind.

Kamara did not entangle Fortune on the wing, and he kicked a cross directly after running to the 30-meter area.

The football was kicked high by him and flew towards the back of the goal.

And Hu Lai, who has been attacking the blind spot behind Jimenez, has also run to the back point at this time!

Because Jimenez is the only one in the middle, he has to pay attention to both football and Hu Lai, which is a bit lacking. Although he knew that Hu Lai went to the back, he didn't follow directly, because Laski had already completed the cross-position with Hu Lai and was rushing towards him. If he went to follow Hu Lai by himself, he missed it. What about Lasky?

Jimenez chose to jump up and head the ball to make a clearance!

As long as the football can be pushed out before Hu Lai, wouldn't the crisis be resolved?

But he made a mistake in judging where the football landed, and he didn't hit the ball!

"Crash! Jimenez has fallen!"

Accompanied by the ecstatic roar of the Chinese commentator He Feng, Hu Lai, who was behind Jimenez, jumped up and shook his head to attack the goal!

Yan Kang shouted: "Hu Lai!!"

Goalkeeper Cordero, who followed the football back, saw Hou Lai jumping up behind Jimenez, and his whole body was like a spring compressed to the limit, ready to be ejected at any time.

He fixed his eyes on Hu Lai.

Hu Lai also saw him.

Seeing him jumping back, Hu Lai didn't shake his head, but pushed the football back and rubbed it towards the far end of the goal!

A contrarian!

"Pretty--!"

In the process of running back, Cordero still made a wonderful save. He abruptly stopped the inertia of his body, and then rushed back!

His whole body was in the air, stretching his body as far as possible, swinging his left arm to drive his body back a little bit, and then... the tip of his left finger touched the football!

The person was still in the air, and Kudlow's eyes were firmly locked on the football. He saw the football being poked by him, changed its direction slightly, and flew towards the baseline outside the goal post.

If nothing else, the ball should fly directly out of the baseline.

Although Leeds City was given a corner kick, it's better than losing the ball, right?

Cordero felt relieved...

But at this moment, a figure wearing a yellow jersey and blue shorts suddenly broke into his field of vision, chasing the football!

"Laski—!"

Matthew Cox screaming in a Leeds pub.

The fans of Leeds City couldn't wait to raise their arms and shout.

Amid the shouts, the Polish striker slapped the horse and rushed to the goal. Before Oskui returned to the defense, he kicked the football with the outside of his right foot and kicked it into the goal!

Only eight minutes into the second half, Leeds City scored another goal and they equalized the score!

PS, the third shift is over, and it will still be the third shift tomorrow, asking for a monthly pass! ! !
