Fox in the Penalty Area

The latest website: The Flanders stadium was full of voices and boos.

Almost no one in the stands could still sit and watch the game. Leeds City fans were standing in front of their seats, some were pointing at the pitch and shouting, and some were dumbstruck with their heads in their hands.

The few London Bridge fans were cheering.

The score on the big screen revealed the reason for this scene:

0:1

Leeds City, who played at home, fell behind.

Game time: 27 minutes.

Just a minute earlier, the London Bridge players had just scored the equalizer goal, and now the London Bridge players are celebrating wildly.

"Stodd is a really good manager..."

In a box above the west stand of the Flanders Stadium, an obviously elderly man expressed such emotion.

He is Pier Brent, the head coach of the Sevilla Navigators.

A middle-aged man sitting next to him is his assistant coach Jorge Renault.

Renault nodded when he heard the words: "He moved De Heli from the side to the center, which really surprised Leeds City. As a result, Grist faced the agile and fast De Heli, and he was extremely embarrassed..."

Contrary to what people expected, London Bridge, which fell behind in total, did not launch a fierce offensive against Leeds City at the beginning of the game, but played steadily, without appearing in a hurry.

The second thing that people didn't expect was that London Bridge coach Julian Stoud changed to 442 in this game, allowing De Heli to partner with Aiken. De Heli, who was originally a winger, came to the center and faced Leeds City defender Ben Grist. Park Chun-tae, who scored in the first round, did not start and sat on the bench to watch the show.

Leeds City's main central defender Ben Grist is tall, with excellent header ability and good frontal defense ability. But because of his tall stature, he is a little clumsy, turning slowly and at a slow speed.

So Todd made a fuss about this, allowing De Heli, who is not tall, but nimble and fast, to hit Grist.

At the same time, let Aiken retreat frequently to make a "wall" for De Heli and cooperate with him.

So while London Bridge didn't rush and hit as soon as it came up, the quality of the attack was high.

Grist received a yellow card in the 19th minute because of his excessive defensive action against De Heli.

This yellow card is very fatal. As a central defender with a yellow card so early, it will be a great instability factor for him in the next game.

After that, Grist appeared very cautious during the game, and now he dare not do the usual casual sitting.

Not long after he received a yellow card, in the 26th minute, De Heli successfully broke through Grist, causing Leeds City goalkeeper Van De Ven to abandon the goal. Ken scored with an easy shot against an empty goal.

The total score was tied at 3:3.

"But this is also very good, this game is much better." Voyagers coach Brent said.

His assistant Renault couldn't help complaining: "We are not neutral fans, what does the game have to do with us?"

Brent laughed and asked, "So who do you hope to meet in the final?"

The second round of another UEFA Europa League semi-final match has ended. The Sevilla Voyagers defeated Fosse 4:2 in an away game and reached the final with a total score of 7:3.

From this amazing score, it can be seen how dominant the Sevilla Navigator is in the Europa League.

Foss participated in the Europa League as the French Cup champion last season. Many French media and fans believe that their victory this time is a sign of the revival of the former giants Foss.

Especially this season, they reached the semi-finals in the Europa League and performed very well, which seems to prove this view even more.

As a result, such a former giant that "wanted to revive" was kicked 3:7 by the Sevilla Navigator in the semifinals...

It's okay to lose to Navigator 1:3 away in the first round, it's an away game after all.

As a result, when they returned to their home court, Foss also lost 2:4, conceding more goals than in the away game...

Sevilla Voyagers performed so strongly in the semi-finals that everyone thought they were the favorites to win the championship.

"I hope Leeds can reach the final," Renault said.

Brent nodded. He didn't ask why, because he knew why.

Leeds City is a very distinctive team with strong offensive firepower.

But at the same time, their shortcomings are also obvious, that is, their offense is strong and their defense is weak.

In the first round of the semi-finals, Leeds City mainly played defensive counterattacks and conceded two goals.

In this game, they still wanted to defend and counterattack at the beginning, but they still failed to defend.

Playing against such a team in the final is obviously better than playing against a team like London Bridge that has no obvious shortcomings.

※※※

After London Bridge equalized the total score, they did not take advantage of the victory and pursued it, thinking about taking the lead in the total score.

Instead, continue to deal with Leeds City steadily.

In other words, they instead launched a defensive counterattack, hoping that Leeds City can attack under pressure, and London Bridge can use the counterattack to attack them.

Leeds City have indeed stepped up their offensive.

After watching the game for a while, Brent and Renault in the box in the stands looked at each other.

"Leeds City's offensive focus is not on Hu..." Renault said.

Brent nodded: "Obviously, the players in Leeds City have passed the football to Lasky."

Renault lowered his head and took out his mobile phone to look through it and said: "Lasky is really in good form recently. He scored four goals in four games."

As the two managers have observed, when Leeds are attacking, everyone is more willing to pass the football to Laski than Houlai.

Even Hu Lai himself actively used his running positions to tear up the London Bridge's defense in order to create opportunities for Lasky to score goals.

The defensive focus of London Bridge was originally on Hu Lai.

After all, Hu Lai's recent form is also very good, scoring three goals in three games, and his efficiency is the same as that of Laski.

Especially in the first round of the confrontation between the two sides, Hu Lai scored twice and scored the winning goal.

And even if London Bridge sees that the Leeds City players are passing the ball more to Laski, they will never dare to let go of Hu Lai to attack Laski.

Their defensive focus is still on Hu Lai.

In comparison, any London Bridge player would think that Hu Lai's threat is higher.

Because Hu Lai is more capable of seizing opportunities.

Also to score a goal, Lasky may need five chances, while Hu Lai may only use three or even two chances.

How dare the London Bridge players change their defensive strategy so easily?

※※※

Although Leeds City has strengthened its offensive, London Bridge responded appropriately, so the score has not changed. For a period of time, it is still 0:1, and Leeds City, which is playing at home, is behind.

The game time passed by every minute and every second. Seeing that there were only five or six minutes left before the end of the first half, Leeds City launched an offensive again and hit the front of the penalty area of ​​London Bridge.

Pete Williams had just turned and got rid of the defense of London Bridge captain Montgomery. He passed the football to Hou Lai who was pulled outside the penalty area to meet him.

At the same time, after passing the ball, he rushed straight from Hu Lai's left side, as if he wanted to play two passes and one hit the wall with Hu Lai.

Unexpectedly, Hu Lai just pretended to catch the ball, but cleverly slipped the football between his legs!

Laski entered the penalty area in front of the ribs, just in time to receive the ball that was missed by Hou Lai!

"Lasky—!!"

Accompanied by the shout of Matthew Cox, the stands of the Flanders Stadium roared with cheers!

The London Bridge defense was first distracted by Pete Williams' movement and then by Hou Lai.

After passing the football, Hu Lai did not stop to watch the show, but quickly turned around and advanced from the middle. His run prevented London Bridge's central defender Tim Martin from dropping him to defend Laski. ——He was afraid that Laski would pass the football across to Hu Lai. After all, the threat of Hu Lai in front of the goal was greater than that of Laski holding the ball!

So when Laski ran to catch the ball, there were no London Bridge players around him!

"Lasky catches the ball behind the London Bridge defense! One-handed!"

Since he decided to try to score 20 goals and let the players of the whole team eat "red peppers" after the end of the season, Lasky has been training himself on shooting to improve his shooting skills. I just hope that at this time, the golden opportunity will not be wasted.

Now he faced the attacking London Bridge goalkeeper Alberto Bueno, and he took a very calm shot!

Although Bueno quickly fell to the ground to make a save, the football still stuck to the turf and ran past his armpit!

He didn't catch it!

"Laski——!! The goal has been scored!! A wonderful cooperation! Before the end of the first half, Leeds City regained a goal! The total score was 4:3 and regained the lead!"

Lasky, who scored the goal, ran over and hugged Hu Lai who missed the ball to him, and the two ran shoulder to shoulder to Pete Williams, who passed the ball.

The three of them huddled together in the restricted area of ​​London Bridge.

Then more Leeds City players rushed in, squeezed away the London Bridge players, and celebrated right under their noses!

The Leeds City fans in the stands jumped up from their seats, raising their arms and chanting.

The entire Flanders stadium roared with cheers, like a volcano erupting!
