Fox in the Penalty Area

When Hou Lai pushed the football to the far end, many Catalan fans were filled with despair.

After all, they all knew that Hu Lai's shots were accurate.

But then they saw their goalkeeper Codello jumping up as if he was on the hook, counterattacked back under extremely unfavorable circumstances, and rubbed the football with his fingertips!

Just like that, the football changed its final flight trajectory and rushed out of the goal...

Everyone's hearts fell back again.

But before their hearts fell back to their original positions, they were grabbed again!

Because they saw another striker from Leeds City running at high speed.

At the same time, the Catalan right-back Oskui also returned to the goal. After being thrown off by Kamara, he didn't chase Kamara, but smartly returned to the penalty area.

His choice allows him to appear in the most critical place now, as long as he can clear the football before Lasky...

Catalan fans hope again.

Just when Osquick kicked the football, Laski got ahead of him and blocked the ball with one foot!

Osqui's kick could only hit his leg.

Despite Osqui's interference, Laski still kicked the football into the Catalan goal!

After scoring the goal, the Pole staggered, lost his balance and fell to the ground. He still kept turning his head to look at the goal.

After confirming that the football had really entered the goal, he completely ignored the kick just now, struggled to get up from the ground, ran excitedly to the corner flag area, and celebrated his first goal in the Champions League!

"Laski——!! Lasky!! Dominic Lasky!!" Matthew Cox repeatedly shouted the name of the scorer. "He appeared where he should appear! And he gave a fatal blow! In the second half, I didn't expect that it was Leeds City who scored the first goal! They evened the score! 2:2!"

Countless Leeds City fans were cheering, jumping and hugging in pubs, big and small, all over Leeds.

On the TV, the players of Leeds City also flocked to hold Laski in the center.

They slapped the young Polish man on the shoulders, back and head,

Rubbing his hair, screaming and cheering, happy for Laski's first Champions League goal.

Although after joining Leeds City, he scored very few goals and only scored two goals in the league so far.

However, as long as he can play in every game, Lasky will show his professionalism and work hard to complete the tasks given to him by the head coach.

As a forward, his main task in Leeds City is actually not to score goals, but to use his running position and foot skills to connect the team's offense and provide support and cover for Hu Lai.

He did all these things well.

In addition, he never complains, tries his best to do his job well, and does not only care about himself on the court and ignore other teammates... The Polish character makes him popular in the team. No one thinks that he has scored fewer goals. He is a parallel importer.

He is indeed not good at water, and the lack of goals is not entirely his problem. From the tactical position of the team, his performance has passed.

This is not the same as Sedu.

Seydoux has been named by the English media as one of the top ten parallel imports signed by the Premier League this season...

But as a striker, there is still a lot of pressure not to score goals.

So now that he finally scored a goal in the Champions League, his teammates are also happy for Lasky from the bottom of their hearts.

"OK!"

"Congratulations Dominique!"

Laski was also very happy, especially after seeing Hu Lai, he pointed his thumb at himself and happily said to Hu Lai: "I moved ahead of time this time!"

In order not to miss any chance to score, Lasky, who was originally behind Hou Lai, suddenly changed his running position when he saw Hou Lai inserting into the blind spot behind Jimenez, and ran forward diagonally.

It was precisely because of this run that put Jimenez in a dilemma, which finally made him make a wrong decision.

Kamara's pass went to the back point, but Lasky continued to resolutely run to the front point, where he thought he should appear. In this way, if there is a chance to make a supplementary shot, he will not miss the goal.

And he was right.

Hou Lai's header was saved by Cordero, which just gave him a chance to make a supplementary shot.

But if he didn't run ahead of time, then the ball would have been taken by Oskui who returned to the goal.

Laski has not always been able to appear in the right place so quickly. When he was in Leeds City, he also had an embarrassing experience of missing good scoring opportunities.

For example, in the league game against Stan Park Rangers, Hou Lai shot after coming off the bench and caused Stan Park Rangers goalkeeper Victor Lemos to drop. At that time, Lasky was actually very close to the landing point of the football, but because he was not prepared, he could only watch the scoring opportunity miss him.

Let his first goal in the Premier League be postponed for almost two months.

As a striker, when he played in Poland, Laski didn't pay much attention to catching opportunities in front of the goal. He was good at scoring by passing defenders through his dribbling and skills, and then kicked and shot.

If you enter, you will enter, and if you don't enter, he will have nothing to do.

Much like a one-shot deal.

After coming to Leeds City, the Premier League defenders caused him a lot of resistance, and his tried-and-true scoring methods in Poland were not very effective in the Premier League. Facing a Premier League-level defense, it is not easy for him to keep the ball without losing it. He has no chance to score a goal at all, and even if he shoots, he will miss it due to the opponent's defensive interference.

Lasky is not an idiot who doesn't know how to adapt. He knows that his own style is getting more and more difficult to use in the Premier League, so when he was training and playing with Hu Lai, he began to learn from the Premier League Golden Boot consciously or unconsciously.

Predict where the football will fall and the next trend during the game, and think proactively instead of passively waiting for the ball.

His hard work paid off, and he had his first goal in the Champions League!

When Hu Lai heard Laski's words, he laughed and patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "Come on! Keep working hard!"

It wasn't until the Leeds City players finished celebrating and returned to their own half that the Catalan side recovered from the incredible.

Boos thundered from above the Sagrada Familia as Laski ran towards the football, but it didn't stop Leeds from leveling.

Jimenez, who fell off the top, saw Lasky kick the football towards the goal after landing. He couldn't help opening his mouth, and couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes.

At the same time, a sense of self-blame rose in his heart-this conceded goal came from his header error!

Cordero, who was lying on the ground, punched hard on the turf.

As a goalkeeper, he has done his best in this defense. It is not easy for him to touch the football and get the ball out under the condition of continuously changing the center of gravity.

But his excellent performances also failed to save his own goal...

This makes him a goalkeeper very unwilling.

If you make a mistake, don't say it. But I did a good job in this defense... I still lost the ball!

Damn it!

At half-time all the Catalan players thought it would be to their advantage to play against each other in the second half.

After all, the Catalan United are known for their offense, and the teams that played against them at the Sagrada Familia basically had no good end.

Unexpectedly, in the second half of the attack, it was not them who scored the first goal, but Leeds City, which was weaker than them!

Jose Bernal was very dissatisfied with Jimenez's jump on the sidelines. He asked his assistant coach repeatedly: "How could he miss it?"

Unable to answer, and now was not the time to be concerned, the assistant coach asked Bernal: "Is there any adjustment needed?"

Bernal took a deep breath to calm himself down from his rage: "No, don't make any adjustments and continue to attack!"

He believes that the goal was due to a mistake in the team's defense. It is not surprising that Leeds City's counterattack can hit the 30-meter area, but Jimenez's fall is too terrible.

If he didn't take off the top, Hu Lai would never have a chance to head the goal, and Lasky would not have the possibility of a supplementary shot.

So this conceded goal is not a problem of the team's tactics and strategy, it is purely a pot of the player's personal performance.

That being the case, of course there is no need to adjust tactics, just let the team continue to attack.

The ball lost now, rely on a strong offense to get it back!

"Aha! We made the right bet!" Clark slapped happily, and Lasky's equalizer gave him confidence.

It fully shows that Leeds City's offensive strength is not weak, and they are fully capable of confronting Catal United at home.

He knows that many teams have nothing to gain against Catalan in this stadium, but he doesn't care.

Anyway, this is the only way for Leeds City to go now. If they don't attack, don't they wait for death?

Switching to an ordinary coach, he might be very satisfied with the result of the 2:2 away draw with Cathay-Thailand United. After the equalizer, he would choose to shrink the defensive strategy in time, first to stabilize the defense line, and to withstand the Cathay-Thailand United’s subsequent rapid counterattack.

Clark is no "average coach."

So when the Leeds City players finished celebrating and returned to their own half, they all received the latest instructions from the boss from the sidelines:

Go on the offensive.

No one was surprised by this.

Even if they turned their heads and found that the boss asked them to set up a bus at the door, then they would think that the boss was kidnapped...

Continue to attack is the right way!

After more than two seasons of Clarke's training, the team has become accustomed to accepting his football style and philosophy.

When encountering difficulties, the first thing I think about is how to improve my offensive efficiency and how to score more goals, rather than how to withstand the opponent's fierce attack...

Isn't football essentially a sport of scoring more goals against your opponent, so is it wrong to pursue offense?

Is there something wrong?

This goal greatly boosted the morale and confidence of the players in the team, and reminded them of what the boss said during the intermission.

The boss was right.

Our Premier League champions and Champions League seed qualifications are all based on our strength!

We scored two Catalan goals in this game, so why can't we continue to attack?

Attack, Leeds City!

Go on the offensive!

After running across the halfway line, ten Leeds City players went their separate ways and went to their positions.

But each of them has a confident light in their eyes.

Leeds City, like a country bumpkin, this is their first season in the Champions League.

This arena that they didn't even dare to think about before, when they stood up, they were beaten badly by traditional powerhouses like Catalan and Vesuvius.

It's just that after surviving the punches and kicks of the opponent, even though he was already teetering on the edge of the ring, he might fall down at any time. This is when they put aside their distracting thoughts and punched forward recklessly, only to find that their invincible opponent was actually shaken by this punch!

So we do have the ability to compete with those giants in continental Europe in the top arena of European football.

Every Leeds City player thinks so, and his heart is hot.
