Fox in the Penalty Area

"Tony, I actually think you were a little... harsh in the locker room today."

In a bar with not many families, Matt Dawn said to Tony Clark, who was drinking with him.

After the game, it's not just the players who need to relax, but also the coaches.

Since coaching Leeds City, Clark has gradually developed such a habit-if the team's performance is unsatisfactory, such as losing a game, he will come to this relatively quiet bar and Matt grabs a drink and chats.

In this way, I can vent my depression and release pressure, and at the same time discuss with Matt what to do next.

Although Matt was not in the locker room today, he knew what happened.

"You must know that although Sydenham is ranked 14th, their recent performance is actually not bad. In the last round, they drew 2:2 away with Manchester Athletic. In the next round, they drew 1:1 with Warship at home. port……"

"Of course I know, Matt. But it's not a reason. They should be able to do better, instead of being satisfied with 'not losing the game'." Clark picked up his glass and took a sip, "The team is a little slack after relegation. It's also true."

"This may be our responsibility. To be honest, let alone them, I am a little confused now. All our preparations are for relegation, but we did not expect that we played so well this season and completed it in only half a season The goal of relegation. What to do next? I didn’t even think about it. Of course, it doesn’t matter if I think about it. But as the head coach of the team, you can’t think about it.” Matt turned to Clark, “Tony, you How do you feel about what the media and fans are talking about?"

Tony Clark fell silent, his eyes out of focus as he fiddled with his stout whiskey glass.

Obviously, he didn't know what the answer was.

Seeing his friend like this, Matt Dawn didn't bother him. Instead, he took a sip of his wine and looked up at the TV hanging above the bar.

That is the news of the media interviewing Leeds City fans.

"...I am very happy with Mr Clarke's work. I think the club made the right decision by signing him...I now hope that the club can sign Clarke with a long-term contract to ensure that we have a long-term plan...Clark's tactics It is indeed a bit of a risk, but it also allows us to have our own characteristics in Leeds. To be honest, I like watching Leeds games very much now, just because I can see the passion, and at this time the previous Leeds could not bring me a new experience..."

"...John Law played very well today, he managed to freeze Leeds City's formerly in-form left-winger Ismael Kamara... Law did it again! Beautiful tackle! Oh hoo Kamara, who fell to the ground, was still signaling to the referee, as if he thought the opponent was fouled... But the ball was indeed not a foul, this was a clean defense! This level of physical contact is far from being a foul! French boy, this is the Premier League, welcome to the Premier League!"

Back at the apartment, Kamara sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a tablet in his hand, staring carefully at the screen, which was playing a video of the game.

Manager Archie Fataki heard the voice coming from the tablet, looked at the screen curiously, and then exclaimed: "Damn, buddy! Are you masochistic?"

"You are M, Archie!" Kamala glanced at the agent with an exaggerated expression.

"You're not M, so why are you watching this?" Archie pointed to the ongoing game on the screen and said, "If I remember correctly, this is the video of the second round of the league game, right? Do you want me to give you a spoiler? What? In this game, you lost 0:2 to the Stan Park Rangers."

"Thank you, Archie." Kamala gave him a blank look. "Not only did I know that we lost, but I also knew that I had a terrible performance in this game. I was like a clown in front of Johnson Law."

"Uh... there's no need to say that about yourself,

Bros. In fact, your performance...is normal. After all, it was only your second Premier League game against the defending champions. "Archie was a little surprised and a little uneasy when he heard that Kamala belittled himself so much, and quickly comforted him.

"You're right, Archie. But I did lose to him," Kamara said, pointing to Johnson Law, who happened to appear in close-up on the screen.

"Don't worry, that's the only way for you to grow up. Don't you see that you are going to perform much better than before? You have completely established your foothold in Leeds City and are the main force that cannot be shaken. Now Leeds City is in the league. The ranking is also very high, next...we should re-negotiate a new contract with Leeds City, whether it is your annual salary or bonus, it must be greatly increased, this is worthy of your performance..."

Kamala waved her hand indifferently: "That's your job, Archie, you can figure it out. I believe you won't let me suffer."

After speaking, he continued to stare intently at the tablet screen.

"Of course, of course I won't let you suffer... But what are you still looking at? Could it be that you are really M?"

"Let me ask you, Archie, who is our opponent in the next league round?"

"O Stan Park Rangers..."

"After this game, I swore that the next time I see him, I will make him look good." Kamara said, staring at the figure on the screen.

Hearing what he said, Archie fell silent. It is absolutely impossible for him to persuade Kamala to "forget it" at this time.

There is no such thing as "forgetting" the grievances between professional players. In that game, Kamara was really embarrassed by Johnson Law, and it can basically be said to be a complete defeat.

So now after Kamala performed well, it is normal to want revenge.

He not only understood why Kamala wanted to watch the video, but also supported him.

They tied in the Premier League alone. If you don't show others how powerful they are, they will think you are easy to bully!

How many of us who came out of the streets are easy to bully?

"Ismail Kamara. Apart from Hu, he is the most threatening player on Leeds City's offensive line. His breakthrough on the wing is very sharp. Here I will play two videos..."

After speaking, Stan Park Rangers head coach Scott Brooks nodded to the video coach next to him, and then a video appeared on the projection screen.

In the video, Ismail Kamara is facing Johnson Law's defense. He is quickly moving around the football with his feet, trying to trick Law with this fancy fake move.

But Lao was unmoved, lowered his center of gravity, and stared at the football.

In the end, when Kamara wanted to push the football away, he took the first kick and stopped the football.

The screen turned again, and Kamara tried to speed up and break through the sideline, but was stuck on the body at the right time, blocking him and the football, and just broke the ball.

In the third picture, Johnson Law cleanly tackled and kicked the football out of the sideline. Kamara, who was brought down, lay on the ground and raised his hands, protesting to the referee. But the referee did not call a foul on Law, but signaled Leeds City to take a throw-in. Kamala looked very angry about this.

"Hey, boss, do you want to show us Johnson's one-on-one defense highlights?" Someone in the audio-visual room raised his hand and teased.

He caused a roar of laughter from the audience.

In the midst of laughter, Lao looked back at the booing teammate. It was the team's Brazilian goalkeeper Victor Lemos.

The Brazilian is usually quite funny, and his lively personality forms a strong contrast with his goalkeeper position.

He gave Remos the middle finger, and Remos spread his hands at him, grimacing.

Brooks laughed too, but soon he scowled, turned to the video coach and nodded again.

The latter starts playing the second video.

This video is full of highlights of Kamara successfully breaking through defensive players. It is not a game, but a collection of many games. Because the defenders opposite Kamara were all wearing different jerseys.

After watching the clip, Brooks motioned the video coach to pause, then asked the players, "What do you see in that?"

Captain Harry Bernard raised his hand and said: "His movements are more concise and practical, and many technical movements that are useless and fancy have been discarded."

Brooks nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, that's it. When he started to pursue a more concise way of playing, his threat level increased linearly. This small change made him go from an unremarkable winger Players become a huge threat. So we have to pay special attention to this when we defend."

Speaking of this, Brooks looked at the other players: "Not only Law needs to pay attention, but everyone else also needs to pay attention. Because Kamara is a player with both left and right feet, he can change positions back and forth on both sides. The tactic of allowing Kamara and Porter to switch positions frequently in the game, Clark has used it a lot this season, we must be more vigilant to prevent them from suddenly changing positions and disrupting our defensive deployment."

"The last is the restriction on Hu. No matter how Leeds change positions on the two sides, they will always play the football in the middle. So you have to keep an eye on Hu, don't let him take the ball in the penalty area and shoot. Opportunity. I don't think I need to stress this enough."

Goalkeeper Lemos yelled back: "Don't worry, boss. I won't let him score in front of me!"

Since Hu Lai joined Leeds City, he has played against the Stan Park Rangers twice, but has not yet scored a goal.

Especially the last time the two faced each other, Hu Lai had a total of five shots in the game, three of which were within the range of the goal frame, and all three of them were saved by Lemos.

So of course Remos had the confidence to say that.

After hearing what Remos said, Brooks nodded and didn't give any further instructions.

It's not the first time they've played against Hu Lai, so they naturally know what to do, so they don't need him as the head coach to waste their words.
