Fox in the Penalty Area

After Leeds City equalized the score, Tramed did panic for a while, and their suppression of Leeds City was not as strong as before.

So Leeds City attacked more, hoping to score again.

But they failed to score again until the end of the first half.

Of course, they didn't allow Tramed to score either.

In this way, the two teams entered the halftime with a score of 11.

"Actually, we were able to equalize the score before the end of the first half. This result is already very good for Leeds City..." He Feng and Yan Kang made a simple comparison of the first half of the game with the players on both sides leaving the field. Summarize.

Yan Kang nodded and said: "Yes, this score can make Leeds City more calm in the second half. But we still have to be careful not to be too calm. After all, if there is a tie, they will be squeezed out of the league by Stan Park Rangers. ..."

If Leeds City draws with Tramed, Leeds City will only have 91 points in points, while Stan Park Rangers currently have 92 points because they defeated London Bridge.

Leeds City will become second in the league again.

In this way, as long as the Stan Park Rangers beat the Highlanders away in the last round, no matter what the game between Leeds City and Northumbria looks like, they will not be able to change the final league ranking.

So in today's game, Leeds City can only accept the result of victory.

A draw is a defeat for them.

"You guys did a great job, guys." Back in the locker room, Clark praised his team's performance in the first half, "Although we conceded the ball, we got it back quickly. So now You see, can we beat Tramed in the away game? They are not as strong as they are rumored to be... otherwise, why not them in our place?"

He teased Trammed so much that the Leeds City players in the dressing room burst into laughter.

At this time, Clark is not worried that the players will become complacent after hearing his words, because at this moment, this team will never let up because of pride, but will completely break the halo of Tramed at the Red Roof Stadium , Let your players know that they are not facing an invincible enemy.

Speaking of which, Leeds City has defeated the Stan Park Rangers at the "Undefeated Stadium" Stan Park Stadium that has been undefeated in four years and eight months. What is so terrible about the former "Devil Stadium" Red Top Stadium?

"So in the second half we will continue to stick to our style of play. The tighter they defend against Hu, the more chances the rest of you will have!" After everyone finished laughing, Clark continued to make some specific tactical arrangements. "On the other hand, if they are attracted by your active performance, Hu will also be liberated. In short, when attacking in the frontcourt, you must play thoroughly to increase the difficulty of the opponent's defense..."

"Obviously Leeds were trying to use Holley to get us defensively and create chances for the rest of them... We made a mistake in the first half but I'm happy to see that was the only time we did. As long as we Always pay attention to maintaining the overall formation in defense, and they will not find space so easily." Tramed coach Kevin Locke marked the positions of his players with chess pieces on the tactical board.

It can be seen that when defending, each piece is very close to each other, but this will lead to relatively empty space on the side.

But Locke pulled two pawns back from midfield and straight down to the full-backs.

"Barea, Payne, you two must fall into this position to assist the defense when defending."

He said to the team's two wide players, Ricardo Balia and George Payne.

Both of them nodded to show that they heard.

"Leeds City will definitely attack with all their strength in the second half, but their offensive cannot last for too long. All we have to do is be patient, more patient than them. Because it is they who are competing for the league title, not us..."

Speaking of which,

Kevin Locke paused, because it was a bit sad to say this sentence as the head coach of Tramed.

We in Tramed aren't fighting for the league title...although we can decide who is the champion, it's a damned bad feeling!

Locke didn't let his absence affect the players, he quickly withdrew from this indescribably bad mood, and continued: "...when they become more and more impatient, the space behind them will become more and more Well, that time is our chance! Now, after a short rest, wait to play."

After he finished speaking, he stepped back to stay with his coaching staff colleagues, leaving time and space for the players themselves.

Leaning against the wall, he thought of his emotion just now.

In fact, without the sudden emergence of Leeds City this season, Tramed would not be able to win the championship this season. And counting this season, their season, they have missed the league championship for five consecutive seasons. For the former Premier League overlord, the window period is really long...

When Kevin Locke played in Tramed, Tramed was the overlord of the Premier League and a well-known giant in Europe. Today, being able to qualify for the Champions League is enough to be called a "success".

Now facing Leeds City, who is ambitious to hit the league championship at home, this contrast makes Locke a little embarrassed.

Back then... We were also the protagonists of this kind of game!

After the start of the second half of the game, it was exactly the same as the adjustments made by the two coaches during the intermission.

Leeds City, who were obviously playing away, rushed to attack Tramed's goal at the beginning of the second half, trying to score as soon as possible.

In the face of Leeds City's rapid offensive, Tramed shrunk his defense, and even wingers like Ricardo Balia retreated to the backcourt, almost becoming a full-back.

When Matthew Cox saw this scene in the commentary booth, he couldn't help but sighed: "Audience friends, maybe you just turned on the TV and saw this scene... I must remind you that this game is Tramed's home court! Yes, you read that right, Tramed is in their red-roofed stadium, shrinking their defense. Leeds City, who is a guest, is attacking fiercely... Leeds City has completely given up in order to compete for the championship. But this may also be due to the emptiness of the defense, and Tramed seized the opportunity to counterattack and score... In fact, Locke may have played this idea!"

Following his words, the TV broadcast cut to a close-up shot of Kevin Locke.

In the camera, Locke has a calm expression, sitting in his seat, looking at the court intently.

"Locke wants to fight us back." Randyll said to Clark.

"Normal operation." Clark was noncommittal, "Almost every team facing our offense thinks this way: After their offensive slows down, it's time for us to counterattack. This is why physical fitness is so important. It is our offensive first. Unsustainable, or their line of defense was penetrated first."

When he said these words, his eyes did not move away from the court, and he was paying close attention to the situation of the game.

Because Tramed consciously shrank the defense, Leeds City pressed their 30-meter area to organize the attack and seek opportunities.

Pete Williams used a pick pass to hoist the ball directly behind Tramed's defense, but his pass was pushed out by Tramed's central defender Wilson. This time Wilson did not follow Hou Lai back. , but chose to take a risk and let Hu Lai get behind him. He himself boldly jumped up and headed directly.

This time, he accurately judged the point of the match, pushed the football out before Hu Lai caught the ball, and successfully cleared the siege.

But the football pushed out by him eventually fell to the feet of the Leeds City players.

Because Tramed recovered relatively deep, Tramed almost controlled all places outside the 30-meter area of ​​Tramed. As long as football flies here, it is basically controlled by Leeds City players.

Now controlling the football is Leeds City midfielder Jay Adams.

After receiving the ball, he made a gesture to pass it diagonally to the side, but suddenly kicked the football back to the middle, opened the space and then suddenly shot a long shot!

Tramed's England goalkeeper Tom Walker flew sideways and blocked Adams' long shot!

But he failed to save the football out of the penalty area, so the football fell back into the penalty area!

A figure rushed towards the football landing point!

It's Hu Lai!

I saw him stretching his foot to shoot!

Wilson squeezed desperately, and successfully pushed the football away while pushing away from Hu Lai.

Then he and Hu Lai fell to the ground at the same time.

Leeds City fans and Chinese fans in front of the TV shouted in unison:

"foul!!"

"Penalty!!"

But the referee did not blow his whistle, and the fans of Tramed who had already booed in the stands of the Red Roof Stadium thought that Hu Lai was diving to cheat a penalty.

Of course, the referee would not think that Hu Lai was diving, he just stared at the football, the ball did not go out of bounds, nor did it fly out of the penalty area, but was still in front of Tramed's goal!

In other words, the alarm in Tramed's restricted area has not been lifted...

In the melee, Pete Williams, who was inserted from outside the penalty area, kicked the football before Connor Kirk and shot the ball towards the goal!

At this time, the goalkeeper Walker just got up, but it was too late to turn over and throw himself back...

The football rolled into the goal in chaos!

Leeds City overtook the score by 21!
