Fox in the Penalty Area

Not long after the start of the second half, the coaches of Madrid Pirates noticed the changes in Leeds City.

"Their offense was faster...it really caused us a lot of trouble."

Valentine said solemnly.

The entire Leeds City team is like a madman on the field. After getting the ball, the first choice is always to move forward, rather than passing the ball across or back to organize.

Because Pete Williams was frozen out by Ramirez, Leeds City doesn't need to carry out those more elaborate organizations now.

Jay Adams is like a ruthless ball machine. As long as he can get the ball, he will immediately move forward to make various medium and long-distance passes.

This kind of forward long pass requires high accuracy.

Of course, Adams is not really a machine strictly controlled by a program, and its accuracy is not high. It is impossible to accurately pass the ball to the feet of his teammates every time.

Sometimes he would pass big passes, and sometimes the passes would be intercepted by Pirates players.

Then in turn, it created huge pressure on Leeds City's defense.

But Leeds City did not change their style of play because of this.

They still insisted on using the sharpest through balls and speed to threaten the Madrid Pirates' goal.

This desperate style of play did bring a lot of trouble to the Madrid Pirates' defense.

Because Leeds City can fail seven or eight times, but as long as it succeeds two or three times, it can directly threaten the Pirates' goal.

This prevented the Pirates from pressing forward easily and leaving the huge space behind them for the Leeds City players to sprint.

The Pirates emphasize overall pass control. If the players on the back line dare not press forward, the distance between them and the midfielders will be lengthened. This lengthening of the distance will greatly increase the difficulty of passing and reduce the accuracy of passing. This is the so-called "disjoint".

Parotti's passing requirement is to keep the team's three lines as a whole, moving forward together and retreating together. The distance between two adjacent players should not exceed fifteen meters, because once it exceeds fifteen meters, the passing accuracy will drop significantly.

The close enough distance and multiple ball release points at this distance are important reasons why the Pirates can pass and control without Maxi Carey.

Therefore, Parotti has particularly high requirements for the team's ability to maintain formation.

Even if his scoring ability is as strong as Hu Lai's, he does not have special privileges and must operate within the overall framework of the team.

What Leeds City has to do now is to use a fearless momentum to pin the Madrid Pirates' defense behind them, so that they don't dare to press easily. Given the characteristics of the Madrid Pirates, as long as their defense is left in the backcourt, the players on the frontcourt and midfield cannot be too far away, otherwise they will be out of touch.

As a result, the entire Madrid Pirates team was forced to stay away from Leeds City's goal.

Even if they intercept the ball and want to launch an attack, they have to advance from behind, which takes a long time and a long distance.

Leeds City will continue to harass and counter-attack in the midfield and frontcourt, preventing the Madrid Pirates from successfully delivering the football to the frontcourt.

As long as the Leeds City players can grab the ball, they will pass forward again as soon as possible.

It's like a muscle that only knows how to move forward, but doesn't know how to move back.

But this kind of single-minded behavior puts a lot of pressure on the pirates.

Not long after the start of the second half, Kamara cut in from the wing and took a shot. The ball was deflected out of the baseline by Pirates goalkeeper Haywell with his fingertips!

Although they didn't make it in, the Pirates fans in front of the TV and on the scene were shocked.

In the subsequent corner kick, Ben Grist headed the ball slightly higher than the goal.

After the start of the second half, Leeds City's indomitable attack made the Leeds City fans in the stands cheer and cheer for them.

In turn, with their shouts, Leeds City's offensive became more fierce.

This is the first time that the Madrid Pirates have played against Leeds City. They have learned about the characteristics of Leeds City from many ways before.

It's this kind of offense that looks like crazy, without even considering the sequelae of such a heavy attack.

For Leeds City, the best defense is not to concede the ball at all, but to knock down the opponent before being knocked down yourself.

As long as there are no opponents, isn't your goal safe?

If you win the game, don't you have to worry about defense?

For example, Kamara's arrangement can well reflect Clark's tactical thinking.

Kamara is an offensive player who can play on both sides of the ball.

The Madrid Pirates have a strong attack on the left. It stands to reason that if Kamara goes to the right, he can use his personal ability to contain Ion's forward assists and help Leeds City defend on the right.

But Clark did not do this and continued to let Kamara move on the left wing.

Because compared with the Pirates' left wing, their right wing is weaker. Irazusta only joined the team this summer, and his cooperation with the team is not tacit enough. Silverio is also stronger in offense than defense. At the same time, players whose performance is still unstable.

Rather than thinking about containing the Pirates' attack from the left, it is better to concentrate on the other side, focus on attacking the weak side of the Madrid Pirates, and open up the situation here.

And Kamara is in really good shape for this game.

Not long after the first half began, he used his personal skills to disrupt the Pirates' defense, and then assisted Lasky for a goal.

After the start of the second half, he was more active.

As long as you get the ball, go and duel with Irazusta.

His activity forced the Pirates to divide their forces to defend him.

If one Errazusta is not enough, add Silverio.

But one-on-two Kamara was even more energetic.

He turned the Madrid Pirates' right-side defense upside down on the left wing.

The pirates have to focus more attention here.

So an opportunity appeared in the middle.

※※※

Daniel Dikunzo dropped back into midfield to receive the ball, his back to the attacking direction and beckoning for the ball.

The football was passed by Joaquin Vela.

But just after Bella passed the ball, he saw a figure suddenly appear behind Dikunzo!

He was trying to get around DiCunzo.

Bella shouted: "Be careful, Dani..."

DiQuinzo also felt a sudden gust of wind passing by him, and he understood what was happening.

So he quickly accelerated and started, trying to catch the ball first.

But he was already too late...

Like a civet, Junpei Morikawa suddenly sprang out from his side and stabbed the football away with his first kick!

At this time, we have to talk about the disadvantage brought by Di Kunzo's height of less than 1.7 meters. If the ball is replaced by Maxi Carey, it may not be so easy for Morikawa Junpei to steal the ball, because Carey only needs By stretching out his long legs, he can pull the football back one step ahead of Junpei Morikawa.

"Junpei Morikawa! Nice attack!"

Matthew Cox shouted.

Leeds City fans in the stands cheered.

After stealing the ball, Junpei Morikawa passed the football to Jay Adams who was diagonally in front of him.

But this time he did not retreat to Di Kunzo's side. Instead, seeing the opponent's center door wide open, he suddenly moved and ran forward, rushing forward.

When Joaquin Vela ran to cover Adams and Ramirez was next to Pete Williams, there was a real vacuum in the middle of Madrid Pirates' midfield.

It is this vacuum zone that Morikawa Junpei inserted!

He is undefended!

Jay Adams, who originally wanted to directly pass the ball diagonally to Kamara, suddenly changed his mind after seeing this. The Pirates have obviously strengthened their defense against Kamara getting the ball on the wing and in the ribs, so why don't I pass the football? To Junpei Morikawa?

Does Junpei Morikawa have the ability to organize an offense?

nothing now.

But whether it's passing or shooting, his basic skills are still there.

And he doesn't need to do a complicated job. He just needs to be able to attract the attention of the Pirates' defense and then pass the football to others... For example, if I am forward, wouldn't that be enough?

Thinking of this, Adams quickly passed the football diagonally to Morikawa Junpei, who jumped in. After passing the ball, he also ran forward.

But Junpei Morikawa didn't see Jay Adams, maybe because he was not a professional organizer, or because he was nervous, his vision was not that broad. In short, he didn't see Adams.

He only saw Lasky who was pulling out of the penalty area directly in front of him.

So he passed the football.

To be honest this was not a good choice as Lasky was followed by Moreno.

Moreno is not tall but very flexible.

And because Morikawa Junpei's passing intention was too obvious, Moreno guessed his pass.

As Laski caught the ball, Moreno pushed hard.

Taking advantage of Lasky's unstable control of the ball, he quickly moved forward to defend and directly knocked the ball away from the Polish forward's feet!

After passing the ball, Junpei Morikawa found that he had not passed the ball well. Lasky was definitely not the best passing choice.

However, at this time, Morikawa Junpei did not retreat but advanced, he accelerated and rushed forward.

So Moreno, who had just poked the football down, saw a figure appear in front of him before he could control the ball...

In a hurry, he wanted to pass the football, but the ball hit the figure's feet and was intercepted!

"Junpei Morikawa! The counterattack was successful!"

After seeing Junpei Morikawa steal the ball, Lasky turned around quickly and gestured to Junpei Morikawa to pass the ball to him.

And another central defender of the Pirates, Amantegui, came up to defend him.

Junpei Morikawa did not pass the ball to Lasky. As soon as he looked up and saw the Madrid Pirates goal, a thought suddenly popped into his mind:

Why don't I try to take a shot?

The thought was fleeting, but Morikawa Junpei had already made his decision.

After stealing the ball from Moreno, he raised his right leg... and shot directly!

The football was hit by the front of the instep of his right foot, and flew towards the Madrid Pirates goal like a cannonball!

From successfully intercepting the ball to shooting, the time in between was very short. In the blink of an eye, Haywell saw the football flying over.

He rose into the air, stretched out his arms, and tried to hit the football.

But he didn't touch the ball!

The football... crashed straight into the goal behind him!
