Fox in the Penalty Area

Tony Clark stood nervously on the sidelines, raising his wrist to look at his watch from time to time.

The game has progressed to the seventy-seventh minute, and the score is still 2:2.

Leeds City temporarily tied with Warship Harbor at home.

He has already used all three of his substitutions, the last of which was right-back Josh Lawler, in favor of back-up forward Lloyd Kerry.

In this way, Leeds City scored 244 from the previous 442.

Yes, you read that right, it's 244, not 442 - the original left-back Farreck Quinn didn't receive a central back three with Ben Grist and Teddy Bradford, while He was pushed into the midfield by Clark and turned into a full-back. At the same time, Ismail Kamara's position is further premised, forming a four-forward lineup with Hu Lai, Lorenzo, and Lloyd Kerry who has just been replaced.

Kerry and Lorenzo played centers, while Kamara and Hou Lai played inside forwards, cruising around the two centers, looking for opportunities.

At the same time, on the two wings, Quinn, who has strong assist ability, took over Kamara's original job on the left, and Charlie Potter was still on the right. Make full use of the characteristics that these two people are good at crossing, and pass the football to the restricted area of ​​​​Warship Port. Then Lorenzo and Kerry will compete for the first point, and Hou Lai and Kamara will control the second point.

At the same time, Williams and Adams, the two central midfielders, must keep up in time, shorten the distance from the striker, control the third point, prepare for the second attack, and shoot long shots directly when they see the opportunity.

This is the desperate adjustment made by "Madman" Clark in the last ten minutes of the game.

"Except for the goalkeeper and the defenders, almost all the other Leeds United players have crossed the half-time. Even the two central defenders are standing on the center line. Such a scene looks really spectacular... Ha!" commentator Ma Hugh Cox laughed, "But this is really an adjustment that Tony Clark can make! So crazy, so desperate..."

※※ ※

"As expected of 'Madman' Clark..."

Nicolas Dufresne, the head coach of France at Port of War, expressed such emotion while watching the ongoing game on the pitch.

"It's a complete win-or-lose attitude... I suspect that in the football rules Clark understands, there are only two outcomes of a game." Peter O'Connor, the assistant coach next to him, shook his head. "I know why he wants to win so much, but he doesn't think about it. What if he loses instead of winning? Should we take advantage of their opportunity to fight back?"

Leeds City's current backcourt space is as large as the endless African savannah, and they come out to attack, and it is normal to want to hit their backs.

But Dufresne shook his head: "No, Peter. At least not now. If we try to play their counterattack now instead of concentrating on defense. Then maybe we may be scored by Leeds City before the counterattack succeeds." ...trust me, they have the ability."

After hearing the words, O'Connor also felt that Dufresne's words made sense, so he stopped mentioning the counterattack.

Leeds City last season did not give him such an impression, but this season's Leeds City has proved that they have this ability with the second most goals in the Premier League.

Although he verbally rejected the assistant coach's opinion, Dufresne began to seriously consider the possibility of attacking Leeds City.

This season, Warship Harbor performed poorly. It played 30 rounds in the league and only ranked ninth with 43 points.

With seven rounds left in the league, it is basically impossible to qualify for the Champions League next season, that is to say, to get the top four in the league. Tramed is currently fourth in the league, with five eighteen points. The difference between the two teams was 15 points, and there were so many teams in between. It was impossible for Warship Harbor to finish fourth.

But to compete for fifth in the league, there is still a chance to qualify for the Europa League next season.

Because the fourth and fifth points in the league are almost two orders of magnitude-the fifth North London Rangers have 49 points,

Only six points more than Warship Harbor.

So why not give it a try?

Of course, this requires Warship Harbor to beat Leeds City in this game first.

Thinking of this, Dufresne glanced at the game time, and then said to O'Connor: "Resist the attack of Leeds City first, and we will try to counterattack in the last five minutes of the game."

O'Connor nodded.

Now the game is almost 80 minutes, in fact, it can't wait for long.

Warship Harbor is not a team that is good at defense, but it is still no problem for five or six minutes.

※※ ※

"Clark chose a very radical approach. He hoped to defeat Warship Harbor. But it also planted hidden dangers. If he was attacked by Warship Harbor and lost the game, it would be troublesome..." Seeing the stalemate in the battle, He Feng said, Leeds City attacked with all its strength, and Warship Harbor shrank in its own penalty area to set up a bus, so he said.

He was really worried about it.

The Stan Park Rangers were tied yesterday by Liverpool United. If Leeds City can beat Warship Harbor, the point difference between the two teams will be reduced from the previous six points to four points.

But if they lost the game because they were determined to win... The point difference is actually a trivial matter. After all, even if they lose the game, the point difference is only from six points to seven points.

It's just that the feeling of watching opportunities slip through his fingers is not good, and it is also a blow to the morale of the team.

With only seven rounds left in the league, if there is a drop in morale, it is entirely possible that the team's performance will collapse...

"Clark, the head coach, has his crazy side. It can be said that Leeds City is currently ranked second in the league, which has a lot to do with his style. But this kind of madness is also a double-edged sword..." Yan Kang also analyzed beside him. "Of course, people who can achieve great things have a crazy side. But we must also be mentally prepared. When enjoying the benefits of madness, we must be prepared to bear the price of madness..."

"Crow's mouth!" Xie Lan in front of the TV couldn't help cursing when she heard Yan Kang's words.

She could only use this method to relieve her tension a little.

She hopes that her son can follow the team to win the Premier League championship, because that is such an amazing thing!

With the possibility of winning the championship, the second place in the league, which was thought to be pretty good, has become unsatisfactory.

She has never been the cool-headed fan of her husband and TV commentators. She always sits on her son's side and cheers for him.

That's why she doesn't care what the facts are or what it should be. Anyway, she just wants her son to win.

But during this period of time, she was actually very unhappy watching the game.

Since Houlai scored his first Premier League hat-trick of the season against Stan Park Rangers, he has encountered more and more defensive resistance in the game.

Leeds have won six more rounds since then, with Hou Lai scoring only one goal.

So much so that some media said that this was the period of time when Hu Lai's scoring efficiency was the lowest after joining Leeds City.

Few goals are on the one hand, and on the other hand, Hu Lai is always heavily defended by the opponent in the game, and he plays very badly. As Hu Lai's number one fan, Xie Lan didn't feel the same "coolness" when watching his son's game.

After watching my son return without success again and again, I was anxious and heartbroken.

In order to keep his wife calm, Hu Lixin also analyzed for her that his son has performed so well in the Premier League this season, and all the "treatments" he has received now are normal. Besides, this kind of treatment is not necessarily a bad thing for Hu Lai, on the contrary, he can learn a lot from it and continue to improve.

Intellectually, Xie Lan felt that her husband was right, but emotionally, she would still be upset.

Originally leading the league scorer list, he is now being caught up by his opponents - last season's league golden boot, Marvin Stones, has scored 19 goals in the league so far, only three away from Hu Lai. ball.

This makes the ownership of the League Golden Boot suspense again.

There have been four goals in the game so far, but none of them were scored by her son.

So Xie Lan was still unhappy.

When Hou Lai assisted Kamara to score Leeds City's second goal, the commentator was still cheering there: "This is Hou Lai's second assist in the Premier League this season! Beautiful assist!"

Sheilan had no idea what to cheer about an assist—why would my son pass it on if he could score?

Hu Lixin glanced at his wife, and seeing her expression, he knew that he must still be upset that Hu Lai didn't score a goal.

But he told his wife what he should say, and he didn't care what his wife thought.

I won't persuade you any more, lest the couple's life will be difficult...

Hu Lixin thought so in his heart, turned his eyes back, and continued to watch the game.

The game is about to enter the final ten minutes, but his son is still on the pitch after two national team games, and has been playing in the starting lineup until now without being replaced.

It can be seen that the head coach Clark still trusts Hu Lai, and at the same time, Hu Lai can indeed restrain the opponent's more defensive attention on the court and create opportunities for his teammates.

What his wife values ​​is that his son's goals help the team win, but Hu Lixin doesn't care so much about whether Hu Lai scores or not, as long as the team wins in the end.

In the live TV broadcast, Hu Lai seemed to think the same way. He just took the ball with his back to the goal in the penalty area and passed the football back to Williams who was pressing up. The latter completed a shot.

It's a pity that the penalty area was full of people. The football shot by Williams hit the leg of defender Timo Brandon of Warship Harbor and bounced to the other side.

His wife's dissatisfied sigh sounded in his ears, but Hu Lixin nodded approvingly.

His son is not a "lone wolf" who only has goals in his mind.

As a point-grabbing shooter, Hu Lixin still hopes that his son will learn to share opportunities with his teammates. Even if it is not for some tactical needs, doing so can actually share his defensive pressure.

He glanced at the game time in the upper left corner of the TV screen.

80:48

The game officially entered the last ten minutes.

The score was still tied at 2:2.
