Fox in the Penalty Area

"Leeds City, which equalized the score, is still continuing to attack. Obviously, coach Tony Clark is not reconciled to scoring a point at home..."

Li Qingqing was sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the apartment with her furry doll in her arms.

There are only 12 teams in the Ligue 1 women's football team, and there are only 22 rounds in the league. At this time, the new season of the Ligue 1 women's football league has not yet started.

So even on weekends, she still stayed in her rented apartment and didn't go anywhere. She had enough leisure time to watch Hu Lai's game through TV broadcast.

When Hu Lai scored the first goal, she jumped up from her seat immediately, and the doll in her arms was thrown into the sky by her, almost hitting the ceiling fan with lights on the ceiling.

Ten minutes had passed since Hu Lai's goal, and she was quietly and obediently sitting on the sofa watching the live broadcast.

Even if the commentator on French TV didn't say it, she could see that the head coach of Leeds City was not willing to score a point at home.

So now the team is being asked to attack with all its strength, but there are also huge risks in it.

The French TV commentator is evaluating the pros and cons of the Leeds City coach's approach:

"...If Leeds City can't score again, the situation will be very dangerous for them... This kind of offensive cannot continue forever. Don't look at Tramed's current scene being passive, but in fact they A counterattack is brewing. As long as the offensive momentum of Leeds City weakens, they will play the most violent counterattack...I think Coach Clark should consider slowing down the pace and taking the initiative to recover the defense. This is better than suddenly launching an attack after being intercepted by the opponent. Leading the team into a passive..."

Li Qingqing admitted that the French commentator was right, Leeds City does have great hidden dangers now.

But she also understands that head coach.

Because this is Leeds City's home court, and their strength is weaker than their opponents, if they don't take advantage of the momentum just to equalize the score and try to score another goal, how else can they beat Tramed?

Although it can be tied with a giant team like Tramed, it should be a very cost-effective result for Leeds City.

But there will always be people who are not willing to accept this result.

The head coach of Leeds City should be such a person.

Since Hu Lai joined Leeds City, as long as there is no conflict in time, Li Qingqing has watched almost every game.

After watching so many Leeds games, Li Qingqing is already familiar with the characteristics of this team.

Knowing that the head coach of this team is the kind of person who gambles a lot, whenever there is a chance, he absolutely only wants to win in his mind, and he doesn't think about anything else.

Although from outsiders' point of view, this is really a bit stupid. After all, when you don't have the strength to match it, but you still want to win something that doesn't belong to you, it's called "not knowing what's good or bad" to put it bluntly.

Li Qingqing understood Clark very well, because she also hoped that Leeds City would win.

After Hu Lai joined the team, he couldn't keep relegation every year, right?

What's the point of staying with a team that keeps relegation every year?

She hopes that the team's performance will be better, so that Hu Lai can be recognized by more people.

At least to be able to participate in the European war!

So now even if the French TV commentator's analysis is clear and logical, Li Qingqing doesn't want to listen.

It makes sense, but if everything in this world ends up with a logical and reasonable result... how boring it would be!

Li Qingqing on the sofa frowned slightly, focusing on the figure on the screen.

I know, you are the most disobedient to those reasons... right, Hu Lai?

"Is it time to slow down?" Assistant coach Sam Randyll raised his wrist to glance at the time displayed on the dial. "It's been seventy minutes, our physical fitness..."

"Our physical fitness can last a little longer." Clarke, who was looking at the field, interrupted him, "Wait a minute. We spent so much time in pre-season training to torture them so that they can withstand it at this time .We're having a hard time right now, but believe me, Sam, the people in Tramed are having a hard time too."

Generally speaking, when a football game lasts for 70 minutes to 75 minutes, it enters the bottleneck period of the physical fitness of the players on the field. Most teams will encounter physical problems at this stage, performance will decline, and teams will actively choose to slow down in order to avoid problems.

But Clark didn't do this, because of a very simple reason-when everyone can't stand it, if his team can survive this time, will it be able to gain an advantage that others don't have?

This is why Clark attaches so much importance to physical fitness.

Modern football has much higher physical requirements for players than before, and he has to be higher on this basis.

He just hopes to use his team's abundant physical fitness to wear down the opponent. When the opponent is exhausted, he will give the opponent a fatal blow at this time!

This set of ideas is quite good, but whether it can be realized or not, Clark can't decide.

He can still control the previous physical training, but football games are not like long-distance running, whoever has better physical strength will definitely win.

After all, there must be a fatal blow in the end.

This problem was difficult for Clark to solve before. But when he brought in Hou Lai, he found a solution.

Who is best at delivering a fatal blow?

Holly of course!

With Hou Lai an effective killer, the final piece of Clark's tactical puzzle is in place, and he can try his own ideas.

For the current Leeds City, Tramed is a good opponent, strong enough, but not as strong as the defending champion Stan Park Rangers and the runner-up Manchester Athletic. At the same time, Leeds City is still playing at home in this game, and has the advantage of a favorable location and harmony.

Using such an opponent to test one's own ideas can not only ensure that there is enough difficulty, but also really have a test effect. It is not because it is too difficult that no matter how hard the experiment is, it will not be successful, and in the end it will hit the confidence of myself and the team for no reason.

Now judging from the running of the players on both sides, the Leeds City players have already surpassed Tramed in terms of physical strength. It is feasible for him to use his physical advantage to gain an advantage at key time points on the field.

The next step is to see if Hu Lai, whom he has placed high hopes on, can make a final decision!

He turned his gaze to the figure on the field.

※※※

The figure that was watched by everyone just almost completed a shot. If it wasn't for Tramed's captain Connor Kirk who recovered into the penalty area in time and cleared the football before Hu Lai...

Tramed's goal is really dangerous!

So there was a loud exhale from the stands at the Flanders Stadium, a collective utterance from the sorry Leeds fans.

In fact, the problems seen by the French TV commentators can also be seen by ordinary fans like them. Everyone knows that Leeds City's offensive cannot last forever. What if you can't maintain it and let your opponent come back?

Everyone is worried, and naturally hopes that their team can score another goal.

Their thinking was simple: just one more goal and we'll be ahead. Then shrink back to defend and hold on to the win.

Even if you are unlucky and the opponent scores, you can still get a draw. It won't be all in vain in the end, and the one point you get becomes zero.

The football that was cleared by Kirk eventually fell outside the right touchline, and Leeds City won a throw-in.

When everyone was preparing for the throw-in, Hu Lai found Kamara and said to him: "When you get the ball from the wing, pass it to the back of the penalty area. Try to pass as big as possible, Ismail."

"Later? Okay." Kamala nodded, without asking why in detail.

Why are there so many?

Anyway, Hu Lai needs him to pass the ball, so he just passes it.

The kick was thrown straight to Kamara by Leeds City right-back Toby Isherwood.

Because of the previous assist, even if Kamara switched to the right, he was marked by Tramed players.

Barea stood in front of him at this time, lowered his center of gravity, and assumed a posture of guarding against death.

After being robbed of the football in front of his face by the opponent, and then assisted with a goal, Barea now pays special attention to this No. 22 and will never let him go because of carelessness.

Kamara took the ball to face Barea, and didn't step on a bicycle on the spot and play tricks or something.

Instead, use the outer instep of the right foot to wade the football towards the bottom line!

His start was so sudden that even Barea was a little stunned for half a second before he realized it and hurriedly followed.

This place is relatively close to the bottom line, and there is very little room for sprinting. He believes that he will have a chance to block this kid here.

But at this moment, he saw Leeds City's No. 22 pass directly!

At first, he thought it was a fake move to disrupt his rhythm, but he never thought that the opponent would pass in such a simple and rude way.

He quickly stretched out his foot to block it, only in time to touch the football with his toe!

Barea turned his head to watch the football leap high and fly towards the goal, wondering if his kick was a successful defense...

"Camara made a direct pass! The ball seemed to be blocked by Balia, and there was a slight change of direction..."

Because Kamara passed the ball with great power, even if it was blocked by Barea, the football still rushed to the back point.

But after letting Barea block it, the flight trajectory of the football changed. Instead of turning back successfully, it flew straight to the baseline behind the goal, and it seemed that it was going to fly directly out of bounds...

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Barea's face——I finally succeeded in destroying the attack of Leeds City!

※※※

Hu Lai, who was already in ambush at the back point, saw Kamara's pass, so he accelerated and rushed to the back point, ready to grab the point.

Meanwhile Tramed centre-back Joseba Iglesias followed suit.

In the process, he glanced back at the football and realized that something was wrong.

The ball seems... to go out of bounds?

He observed again and found that the football was indeed going out of bounds!

Seeing this, he slowed down and breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was only half relieved when he saw a foot suddenly appear in the air, with its toes pointing up, stretching towards the flying football!

"It's Hu Lai!!" He Feng's voice and spirit were lifted.

Everyone thought that Leeds City's attack failed again, but they didn't expect that Hu Lai hadn't given up yet!

Seeing the football flying to the bottom line, he didn't slow down like Iglesias beside him, but raised his left foot vigorously, trying to save the ball that was about to fly out of the bottom line!

Everyone turned their attention to the figure near the bottom line, and saw that his right foot was supporting his body, and his left foot was lifted up. In order to increase the height, he also struggled to stand on tiptoe of his right foot, with his arms spread out to maintain his balance...

I don't know why, but this obviously forced movement has a stretched aesthetic feeling in the eyes of many people at this moment.

Under the eyes of everyone, it seems that the flow of time has slowed down many times!

Li Qingqing sitting in front of the TV did not know when she sat up straight, and the doll she was holding also fell to the floor.

Seeing this scene reminded her of the distant high school days, the trials that decided whether Hu Lai could enter the school team.

How similar is his third goal to this one?

It is also struggling to reach the ball in the air.

But at that time, Hu Lai couldn't stop the ball at all. In the end, he hooked the football back and hit it hard on the face, knocking out the nosebleed.

And now...

※※※

No way, this kid can really...

Iglesias stared wide-eyed at the foot of Hou Lai who was close at hand was approaching the football a little bit, or the football and his feet were getting closer to each other.

Then he was really stopped by the instep of his left foot!

"Hu Lai! When the ball was about to fly off the baseline, he successfully saved the football back!"

Iglesias started to rush forward again at this time, trying to destroy the ball.

The football was blocked by the instep of Hu Lai's left foot, flew back, flew right over his head, and landed on the edge of the small penalty area behind him.

Connor Kirk rushed forward with a stride, intending to clear the football again.

Charlie Potter, who was by Kirk's side, looked left and right before realizing that he was unmarked!

So he yelled: "Huh!!"

At the same time, he opened his arms to signal Hu Lai to pass the ball to himself.

Pete Williams was also yelling: "Be careful!"

He was reminding Holly to pay attention to Kirk who was rushing towards him.

But Hu Lai acted as if he didn't hear these voices at all, or he didn't care about them.

He held Iglesias' body with one hand, stopped the inertia of his body rushing forward, and at the same time completed his turn, ready to throw back at the football.

Iglesias' hand tugged at his arm too, and that was the only thing he could do.

The two were entangled like this.

There are fans in the stands who can't wait to boo, they think Tramed's central defender fouled.

At Tramed's home court last season, the referee blew a penalty for us, so now the referee, do you dare to return us a penalty? !

The referee did raise the whistle and put it near his mouth, his eyes widened, as if he was ready to blow it at any time.

On the other side, Kirk finally arrived. He swung his right foot and kicked the football!

Almost at the same time, Hu Lai grabbed Iglesias with both hands, and after using him to stabilize his body and center of gravity, he also swung his right leg!

The two legs are drawn towards the football from different directions, one left and one right!

Boom!

Hou Lai felt his instep touch the football as his leg was pushed back by a noticeable counterforce.

On the other side, Kirk kicked the air!

What about football?

Everyone is looking.

Finally they saw Tramed goalkeeper Walker kneeling in the near corner of the goal, his hands still in the motion of catching the ball.

But the football is not in his hands, nor in his arms.

but...

In the next goal!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'" screamed Leeds broadcaster Ryan Hynes. "75th minute! We're ahead! We're ahead of Tramed at home!!"

After a brief silence at the Flanders Stadium, there was a violent explosion of sound waves, and the sound waves blasted everything into the sky!

Even the roof of the stadium seems to be able to be overturned!

The fans above the stands jumped out of their seats and poured down, layer upon layer. Across the LED billboard, and the police security, they stretched their arms towards the field, as if they wanted to get as close as possible to Hu Lai who scored the goal...

Holly is running towards them!
