Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 103 of the Fox in the Zone text volume lets you see how powerful we are. "Soulberg moved laterally and had a wide field of vision... Kamara received the ball, and Quinn moved forward beside him... Kamara made a forward move next to him..." Cut! Cross pass! Williams protects the ball, okay! Williams passes the ball forward, and Lasky passes the ball directly behind him without stopping! Beautiful!"

Accompanied by the explanation of British commentator Matthew Cox, Leeds City's attack entered the Madrid Pirates' penalty area like a smooth flow.

"Kamara! Kamara!! Good goal! Kamara... passed the ball! Lasky scored the goal! What a wonderful frontcourt cooperation! What a beautiful goal! Leeds City only scored 12 points in the opening In minutes, they took the lead! They planned a perfect blitz!"

Lasky, who scored the goal, pointed to Kamara who passed the ball to him and happily ran over for a hug.

Kamala had opened her arms and was waiting there.

The stands on all sides of them at the Flanders Stadium were filled with cheers.

These fans, who had been cheering for a Pirates player before, now celebrated their team's goal.

Facts have proved that no matter how attached and fond they are to Hu Lai, they still want Leeds City to win the game.

Perhaps it’s like what Han Shuyu once said in an interview with CCTV:

"Hu scored but Leeds won."

When the Leeds City players celebrated the goal, the Madrid Pirates players stood stunned. They seemed to have not recovered from the blow of conceding the ball so early. They couldn't believe this was true.

Madrid Pirates, one of the thirteen top giants, has just defeated its city rival, the "giant among the giants" Kings of Madrid, 3:1 in the Madrid derby.

Encountering the weakest seeded team in this Champions League, they actually conceded the goal in the first 12 minutes of the game? !

Where can I go to reason with you?

Not to mention the Madrid Pirates players, even the Madrid Pirates coaches on the sidelines were stunned and expressed complete disbelief.

It shouldn’t be!

The recent form of Leeds City players is quite average. Why did they break out in this game?

Parotti's eyes widened and he turned to look at his assistant coach Valentin in surprise.

Only then did he realize that the latter was looking at him with the same eyes and expression.

They all saw "doubt" in each other's eyes.

It can be clearly seen that at the beginning of this game, the Leeds City players entered the game very quickly.

It's as if a car revs its engine to 7,200 rpm when starting, and then launches off.

While Parotti and his coaches were puzzled, in front of the Leeds City coaching bench next door, head coach Tony Clark was high-fiving his assistant coach Sam Landill.

"Aha! Well done! Well done to the boys! We did it, Tony!"

Randhir was extremely excited.

They started preparing for today's game as early as after the game against Burley.

They know what this game means for Hulay, who will be returning to Flanders for the first time since his transfer.

Leeds City fans will welcome Hulay with the utmost enthusiasm, and this enthusiasm should also fool the Pirates players into thinking that this will be a very easy game.

Even just letting them have this idea in their hearts can kill the morale and fighting spirit of the Pirates players.

Then the Leeds City fans gave them another great assist.

The event they held was spectacular, attracting everyone's attention and diverting most people's attention from the game itself.

During that time, the media was full of news about how Leeds City fans welcomed Hu Lai, but news about Leeds City's preparations was brushed down.

But Clark doesn't think there's anything wrong with this. He wishes no one would pay attention to his team.

It develops in a low-key manner.

From the beginning, Clark told his players to go all out in this game and aim to defeat the Pirates at home.

To do this, they must maximize their fast breaks.

From the first second of the game it was like a pirate attack, trying to take the lead.

In order to get the players into the game as soon as possible, he also spent a lot of time providing psychological counseling to the players, allowing them to recall the past, and at the same time told them that even without Hu Lai, they are still very strong...

He even took advantage of the memory and love Leeds City fans now have for Hulay to further stimulate his players.

"...You must use this game to explain to everyone: It is you who are fighting for Leeds City now!! It's time for Leeds City's history to open a new page. There is no Hu in the new content, only you. !”

Now this 12th-minute goal tells Clark how effective he is in doing so.

It couldn't be better.

The wealthy Madrid Pirates were caught off guard!

What's even better is that this goal will make the Leeds City players on the field more and more recognize their previous rhetoric and arrangements. In short, they will have more confidence to confront the Madrid Pirates.

It's really them who are fighting for Leeds now.

Just listen to the cheers from the stands.

Leeds fans agree.

Although they were enthusiastic about Hu Lai before, when the game started, they would still cheer and applaud their players without reservation.

The excessive enthusiasm of Leeds City fans seemed to have caused some people to misunderstand that Leeds City fans did not care about winning or losing this game.

But how could you not care?

Does anyone want their team to lose?

"Speaking of which, we should thank Hu." Clark said to Randall with a smile. "He helped us activate the players. Everyone was in good condition in this game."

The presence of Hulay really activated Leeds City players.

Although they had a good relationship with Hu Lai before, this could not change their efforts to prove that they were strong in front of Hu Lai.

Whether it's Pete Williams or Kamara, or Lasky, who directly benefited from Hulay, they all have this mentality:

When we meet again, we will show you how powerful we are!

※※※

When Hulay kicked the football out, the game restarted.

This time the Pirates used their advantage in passing and control to control the football and were in no rush to attack forward.

This is one of the ways to deal with those fast break teams, which is the drag tactic.

Deliberately slow down the pace of the game if your opponent wants to go fast and is good at going fast. Then you should try every means to slow down the speed so that the other party cannot speed up.

This is common sense.

The Pirates, who are good at passing and controlling, seem to be suitable for dealing with this kind of fast team.

They pass the ball back and forth in the midfield and backcourt.

This made Leeds City's fast break, which originally planned to take advantage of the momentum of the goal, score another goal, seem to have hit a piece of memory foam.

No matter how hard they attack, the sponge slowly returns to its original shape.

But Clark did not change his tactics, he still let the team continue to attack.

This is not because he is stupid or underestimates the enemy.

But that's all he can do now.

Leeds City is indeed weaker than Madrid Pirates. Although it has the advantage of playing at home, the morale of the players is also quite usable.

But if you want to defeat Madrid Pirates at home, you still need to pay a huge price and effort, and you also need luck.

They successfully blitzed the Pirates right from the start, leaving the Pirates players a little stunned and emotionally affected.

This is the opportunity Leeds must seize and exploit.

If they can score another goal while the Madrid Pirates suddenly lose the ball and lose a firm foothold, Leeds City will have much more room for maneuver.

Not to mention winning the game 100%, but the chance of winning will also be greatly increased.

Because the panic of the Madrid Pirates players after losing the ball did not last long, it was impossible for Leeds City to take back and adjust the rhythm and slowly deal with the Pirates.

As the game time progresses, the Pirates can always adjust themselves.

Clark was also ready. If the goal cannot be scored within ten minutes after the goal is scored, it is necessary to slow down the pace, stabilize the defense first, and withstand the pirates' counterattack.

Seeing Hu Laidu retreating to participate in the team's passing and control system, constantly using moves and passes to mobilize Leeds City players, Matt Dawn, who was videotaping at the top of the stands, sighed to himself:

"Although I have only been here for more than two months, it seems that I have adapted well to the pirates, Hu..."

Matt Downe knows exactly what it's like to be a Hulay at Leeds City.

He is the sharpest knife in Clark's hand, the blade always pointing forward.

Clark does not need Hu Lai to frequently drop back to help his teammates move the football. That is not the job he should do.

He only did one thing at Leeds City, and that was score goals.

So most of the time he must ensure that he is in the place where he can best threaten the opponent's goal.

Coupled with Leeds City's forward-thinking football style, passing the ball back and forth simply doesn't work.

He would never see Hulay wearing a Leeds City jersey like he is doing now, running back and forth, receiving the ball from his teammates, then passing the football out, and then running to the next receiving point.

In addition, he also has a lot of fake runs and off-ball moves that at first glance seem meaningless.

Matt Down once thought that Hulay would need a lot of time to adapt to a completely different tactical system if he went to a passing team.

But I didn't expect that Hu Lai not only adapted quickly, but also adapted well.

"I should write another email to Sports Rangers and tell them to appropriately increase Hu's adaptability in the next version... But looking at it now, he made the right choice to leave Leeds City. Continuing to stay here will not bring any consequences. Give him any promotion..."

Matt Dawn sighed.

Since Hulay left Leeds City, he has not coached Leeds City in "The Godfather of Champions" for a long time. He has opened a new Leeds City game. Because "The Godfather of Champions 2028" has not been released yet, the data in the game is not the latest.

Hulay is still in Leeds City.

This is really good news.

For this reason, Matt doesn't even plan to continue buying the new generation of "The Godfather of Champions."

※※※

While Matt Downe was videotaping the game from the top of the stand, Leeds City were doing their best to score another victory in a short period of time.

But they failed.

Parotti's Madrid Pirates have great tenacity.

Although they were caught off guard by Leeds City's blitzkrieg, this blow was not enough for the battle-experienced wealthy pirates to completely panic them.

After seven or eight minutes, they recovered.

Clark also made temporary adjustments and had the team switch to defense in less than ten minutes.

But no matter what, Leeds City is now ahead, the players are in good condition and their morale is high.

Their chances of winning this game at home are still very high.
