Fox in the Penalty Area

Hu Lai's goal was like a charge. Leeds City, who had a one-goal lead, boosted their morale and continued to attack Manchester City's goal.

The heavy rain was heavy and the field was muddy and slippery, so Leeds City adopted the simplest and roughest style of play - a long pass from the midfield to find Hu Lai and Lorenzo in front, or a high ball directly from the two wings to Manchester In front of the athletics gate.

Using Lorenzo's ability to control the air with Hou Lai's excellent judgment on the second landing point, he threatened Manchester Athletic's goal.

This style of play is not technically content, and it can even be regarded as one of the most hated styles of play by Manchester Athletic coach Gutierrez-the Spanish coach once said after he came to Manchester Athletic to coach. Letting footballs fly around in the air is a "blasphemy" against the sport of football. He also issued a question of the soul:

"If God wanted us to pass footballs up and down the air, why didn't he take the football field up to the sky?"

Therefore, everyone knows how much Gutierrez hates this kind of football. The Manchester Athletic he coached is also based on delicate pass and control cooperation. When he first came to the Premier League to coach, he even banned his players from making aerial passes over 30 meters.

Just to correct some "bad problems" of the team.

After his transformation, Athletic Manchester is one of the few teams in the Premier League with a very entertaining style of play. Even though today's Premier League is no longer the "rogue" that was prevalent in the early years, Athletic Manchester is still a very special team in the Premier League. A British reporter once ridiculed Gutierrez's The team should go to La Liga, not the Premier League.

Of course, Gutierrez is not always stubborn. After four seasons in the Premier League, he and his team have gradually adapted to the Premier League, and there has been a fusion of styles-now he has not complained about the main team for a long time. The referee was indifferent to his players being violated, and he hadn't criticized those who used their physical advantages to attack Manchester's athletic defense for a long time. He only occasionally complained about those opponents who barely came out to attack.

At the beginning, the playing style of Manchester Athletic under him was soft. The English media commented that the players of Manchester Athletic only knew to complain to the referee on the court. They could complain about anything, just like aggrieved children. But doing so often does not allow them to get the care of the referee during the game, because the law enforcement habits and standards of the Premier League referees have been developed for many years, and they will not easily make changes for a team.

Now Manchester Athletic has maintained a delicate footing and pays attention to pass control, and its style of play is also tougher.

But overall, Gutierrez's Manchester Athletic is still a continental style team.

When encountering the kind of unreasonable team that uses physical advantages, Athletic Manchester will fall into a passive position.

It's just that if the opponent is much weaker than Athletic Manchester, Athletic Manchester can still use their strength to win, of course, the scene will not be so good.

But if you meet an evenly matched opponent...

That's what it is now.

Gutierrez was pacing back and forth impatiently on the sidelines, the originally straight suit was drenched by the rain, wrinkled and stuck to his body. At this moment, there is no image at all.

It stands to reason that Athletic Manchester, which is one goal behind, should launch a counterattack, but now they are beaten by Leeds City's simple and rude offensive tactics.

In fact, with the current points of Athletic Manchester, even if they lose this game, it will not affect their final qualification for the Champions League next season. After all, they have already locked the Champions League places in advance.

But as a qualified head coach, who would like to see his team lose?

That's why Gutierrez is so restless.

"This rain really helped us a lot!" Assistant coach Sam Landier couldn't help laughing in front of the home team coach on the sidelines.

Clark said with a stern face: "Now is not the time to say this, Sam. The game is not over yet, and we are only one goal ahead!"

Randyll reacted: Don't look at the situation where Leeds City has the upper hand, but the current score is indeed the most unsafe score for Clark. It would be strange if he could feel safe...

So he nodded quickly: "Yes, you are right, Tony."

The assistant coach walked up to the frowning Gutierrez and asked, "Should I replace Kabanka?"

Gutierrez looked back at the bench and saw the Brazilian genius sitting on a chair with a dignified expression.

He shook his head: "Kabanka has just recovered from his injury, and today's field conditions and weather are not suitable for his characteristics. There is no need to take this risk. Besides, there will be a World Cup after the end of the season, and he should also be considered."

One of the main reasons why Athletic Manchester's performance is so hip this season is the absolute main force. The core player Kendor Kabunka suffered a serious injury at the end of November. He rested for more than three months and did not come back until recently.

After his comeback, he has not played in the team's first game.

Although Gutierrez put Kabanka in the squad for this game, he didn't let him start. It's still safe.

Kabanka's injury had a great impact on Athletic Manchester, because Kabanka with excellent skills is the core of the team's midfielder. He can pass and lead, and can shoot suddenly.

After the midfield engine was injured, the quality of Manchester Athletic's offense was greatly reduced.

The team's performance also began to decline.

At the beginning of the season, he was able to wrestle with the Stan Park Rangers, and later it became able to play against Leeds City.

As a result, the difference between Athletic Manchester and Leeds City has reached 12 points, and the taillights are almost invisible.

If it weren't for Kabanka's injury, it would not be so easy for Leeds City to easily occupy the second place in the league.

So for Leeds City this season, if they want to win the championship, it is really a golden opportunity.

Except for the stable performance of Stan Park in BIG6, the results of other teams this season are very bad, and there is no way to threaten Leeds City from the beginning. Now London Bridge and North London Wanderers are fighting badly, and they are only competing for a qualification for the Europa League.

Warship Harbor even dropped to ninth place.

And Stan Park, which has always been stable, seems to be plagued by bad luck since it was defeated by Leeds City at home. The main players were injured one after another, and the team's performance fluctuated. This gave Leeds City a chance to catch up.

In fact, it is not Athletic Manchester that should feel most unwilling now, but the Stan Park Rangers. Because if it weren't for the sudden emergence of Leeds City, and the performance of the other BIG6 this season, there is really no suspense for them to defend the league championship...

As a result, now because of the sudden emergence of Leeds City, the dream of the Stan Park Rangers' two consecutive championships may be shattered.

In their defending season, they met the biggest BIG6, but they also met the best Leeds City...

Instead of Kabanka, Gutierrez replaced Ramon Cantero with Belgian forward Reggie Lacrosse.

Cantero looked very frustrated when he was taken off the field covered in dirt.

Back on the bench, he also smashed the mineral water bottle to the ground.

This is the second time he has lost to Hu Lai!

No...it's the third time!

What the hell! Why? I just want to avenge my revenge at the Olympics... Why do I always add new hatreds without avenging the old ones! ?

Cantero sat on the bench, covering his face with his hands.

Meli, who was watching the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV, felt sad when he saw this scene.

Although the game wasn't over yet, Meli suddenly lost interest in watching.

He originally only wanted to watch Athletic Manchester stop Leeds City. Now that Leeds City is about to win, and his friend Cantero has also been replaced, why should he watch it any longer?

Although Hu Lai made a penalty kick and stopped the ball, he was really amazed, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes, feeling like an eye-opener...but this was the only highlight of the game.

Thinking of this, Mei turned off the TV with the remote control, got up and left the living room.

At the same time, he picked up his phone, thinking that he should leave a message to comfort his friend.

Ramon can't see it now, but after the game is over, he should be able to see his message.

I hope that my encouragement and comfort can make Ramon feel better...

In the last ten minutes of the game, Athletic Manchester also fought hard.

But helplessly, the right time, place and people were not on their side in this game, and they failed to score until the final whistle.

The one-goal lead, which made Clark feel very unsafe, turned into an insurmountable moat in this game.

"The game is over! Leeds City beat Manchester Athletic 1-0 at home and scored a precious three points! Now they kick the football to the Rangers at Stan Park, and it's the Rangers' turn to handle the ball!"

Amid the heavy rain and cheers at the Flanders Stadium, the Manchester Athletic players quickly left dejectedly and returned to the dressing room. They use towels to dry off the rain and sweat on their bodies, take a hot shower, and change into dry clothes.

Cantero didn't do this, he picked up the phone immediately.

After unlocking the phone, he saw Melly's comforting message:

"It's okay, Ramon. There are too many objective factors in the failure of this game, you don't have to blame yourself for it. Remember, the important thing is always the next game!"

Seeing this sentence, Cantero's eyes became hot.

He felt guilty and frustrated that he failed to fulfill his pre-match promise to Meli. But at the same time, after seeing Meili's message, a warm current surged in my heart:

Mellie is such a nice guy! He is clearly the strongest genius in the world, yet he is so understanding and gentle...

Cantero pursed his lips tightly, trying to control his emotions.

He took a deep breath, gradually calmed down, and then...he suddenly noticed that Mellie's message was twenty minutes ago...

twenty minutes ago?

Cantero felt a little strange, the game hadn't ended 20 minutes ago!

This... so Meli had already decided that we would lose before the game was over?

Cantero was stunned for a long time looking at the sending time of the message on his phone.

Finally, he put down his phone and slowly leaned against the wall.
