Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 191: Equalize

Latest website: The Flanders Stadium is full of voices and boos.

Almost no one in the stands can still sit and watch the football. Leeds City fans are standing in front of the seats, some are pointing at the stadium and shouting, some are stunned with their heads in their hands.

The few London Bridge fans are cheering.

The score on the big screen reveals the reason for this scene:

0:1

Leeds, who played at home, fell behind.

Game time: 27 minutes.

Just a minute ago, the London Bridge players just scored an equalizer goal, and now the London Bridge players are celebrating wildly.

"Stodd is indeed a very competent head coach..."

In a box above the west stand of the Flanders Stadium, an obviously elderly man expressed such emotion.

He is the head coach of the Seville Navigator Pierre Brent.

A middle-aged man sitting next to him is his assistant coach Jorge Renault.

Renault nodded when he heard the words: "He moved Dheli from the side to the middle, which really made Leeds completely unexpected. As a result, Grist was very embarrassed when facing the agile and fast Deheli..."

Contrary to what people expected, London Bridge, which was behind in total, did not launch a fierce offensive against Leeds at the beginning of the game.

The second thing that people did not expect was that London Bridge coach Julian Stodd changed to 442 in this game, letting Dehli and Aiken partner. De Heli, who was originally a winger, came to the center and confronted Leeds city defender Ben Grist. Park Chun-tae, who scored in the first round, did not start and sat on the bench to watch the show.

Leeds City’s main central defender Ben Grist is tall, has excellent header ability and good frontal defensive ability. But because of his tall stature, he was a little clumsy, turning around slowly and at a slow speed.

So Stodd made a fuss on this point, making Deherli, who is not tall, but flexible, and fast hits Grist.

At the same time, Aiken frequently retreats to make a "wall" for Deheli to cooperate with him.

So even though London Bridge didn't rush as soon as it came up, the quality of the offense was very high.

Grist received a yellow card in the nineteenth minute because of excessive defensive action against Dehli.

This yellow card is very deadly. As a central defender, he has been carrying a yellow card so early, which is a great unstable factor for him in the next game.

Then Grist appeared very restrained in the game, and now he dare not do the usual sitting movements.

Not long after he received the yellow card, in the twenty-sixth minute, De Heli succeeded in breaking through Grist. After Leeds goalkeeper Van Deven had to abandon the goal, he crossed the football to the center and followed up with center Ai. Ken easily scored in the face of an empty goal.

The total score was tied at 3:3.

"But this is also good, this game is much better." Voyager coach Brent said.

His assistant Renault couldn't help but complain: "We are not neutral fans. How does the game have anything to do with us?"

Brent laughed and asked, "Then who do you want to meet in the final?"

Another Europa League semi-final second round match has ended. The Sevilla Navigator defeated Foss 4:2 in the away game and reached the final with a total score of 7:3.

From this amazing score, it can be seen how dominant the Sevilla Navigator is in the Europa League.

Foss participated in the Europa League as the champions of the French Cup last season. Many French media and fans thought that their victory was a sign of the revival of the former giants Foss.

Especially after reaching the semi-finals in the Europa League this season, his performance is very good, and it seems to prove this view.

As a result, such a former giant that "will be revived" was kicked 3:7 by the Sevilla Navigator in the semifinals...

Even if it lost to the Voyager 1:3 away in the first round, it was an away game after all.

As a result, returning to his home court, Foss also lost 2:4, conceding more goals than in the away game...

The Sevilla Navigator's strong performance in the semifinals made everyone think that they are the favorites to win the championship.

"I hope Leeds can reach the final." Renault said.

Brun Feature nodded, he didn't ask why, because he knew the reason.

Leeds City is a very distinctive team with strong offensive firepower.

But at the same time, their shortcomings are also very obvious, that is, offense is strong and weak.

In the first leg of the semi-final, Leeds City played a defensive counterattack and both lost two goals.

In this game, they still wanted to defend and counterattack at the beginning, but they still didn't defend.

It is obviously better to play a team like this in the final than to play a team like London Bridge that has no obvious shortcomings.

※※※

After London Bridge equalized the total score, it did not pursue the victory, thinking about taking the lead in the total score.

Instead, he continued to fight steadily and dealt with Leeds City.

In other words, they fought a defensive counterattack instead, hoping that Leeds City could attack them under pressure, and London Bridge could use counterattack to attack them.

Leeds City has indeed stepped up its offensive.

After watching the game for a while, Brent and Renault in the stand box looked at each other.

"Leeds' attack is not focused on Hu..." Renault said.

Brun characteristic head: "It is obvious that the players in Leeds City passed the football to Laski."

Renault lowered his head and took out his phone and doubled it and said, "Lasky has been in a really good state recently. He scored four goals in four games."

As the two coaches have observed, when Leeds is attacking, everyone is more willing to pass the football to Laski, rather than Hulay.

Even Hu Lai himself actively used his own running position to tear the back of the London Bridge defensive line, in order to create a chance for Laski to score.

The defensive focus of London Bridge was originally on Hulai.

After all, Hu Lai's recent state is also very good, scoring three goals in three games, the efficiency is the same as Laski.

Especially in the first round confrontation between the two sides, Hu Lai scored twice and scored the winning goal.

And even if London Bridge sees that the Leeds City players pass the ball more to Lasky, they will definitely not let Houle go to beat Lasky.

Their defensive focus is still on Hu Lai.

In comparison, any London Bridge player would think that Hulay's threat is higher.

Because Hu Lai is more capable of seizing opportunities.

For the same goal, Laski may need five opportunities, while Hulay may only use three or even two opportunities.

How can London Bridge players dare to easily change their defensive strategy?

※※※

Although Leeds City stepped up their offensive, London Bridge responded appropriately, so the score did not change. For a period of time, it was still 0:1, and Leeds City, which played at home, fell behind.

The game time passed by one minute and one second. Seeing that there were only five or six minutes left before the end of the first half, Leeds again launched an offensive and hit the penalty area of ​​London Bridge.

Pete Williams just turned around and got rid of the defense of London Bridge captain Montgomery. He passed the football to Hulay, who was pulled out of the penalty area to meet him.

At the same time, after passing the ball, he rushed straight from Hu Lai's left side, seeming to want to hit the wall with Hu Lai two-by-one.

How can I think that Hu Lai just pretended to catch the ball, but cleverly leaked the football from between his legs!

Laski penetrated into the penalty area in front of his ribs and just received the ball missed by Hu Lai!

"Lasky--!!!"

Accompanied by the shout of Matthew Cox, cheers were thunderous in the stands of the Flanders Stadium!

The London Bridge defensive line was first attracted by Pete Williams' running position, and then by Hu Lai.

After leaking the football, Hu Lai did not stop in place to watch the play, but quickly turned around and jumped in from the center. His run made London Bridge’s central defender Tim Martin dare not leave him to defend Laski. ——He is afraid that Lasky will pass the football to Hu Lai again, after all, the threat of Hu Lai in front of the goal is greater than that of Lasky with the ball!

So when Laski was running to catch the ball, there was no London Bridge player by his side!

"Laski received the ball behind the defensive line of London Bridge! Single-handed!"

Since determining the goal of scoring 20 goals and letting the team's players eat the "red pepper" after the end of the season, Lasky has been practicing shooting and improving his shooting skills. I just hope that at this time, the perfect opportunity will not be wasted.

Now he is facing the attacking London Bridge goalkeeper Alberto Bueno, very calm kicking shot!

Although Bueno quickly fell to the ground to save ~lightnovelpub.net~ the football was still sticking to the turf and rushed past his armpit!

He didn't stop!

"Laski——!!! The goal is in!!! A wonderful match! Before the end of the first half, Leeds regained one city! The total score was 4:3 to regain the lead!"

Laski, who scored a goal, ran over and hugged the Houlee who had leaked the ball to him, and then the two ran to the passing Pete Williams.

The three people huddled together in the restricted area of ​​London Bridge.

Then more Leeds City players poured in, squeezed away the London Bridge players, and celebrated under their noses!

The Leeds City fans in the stands jumped from their seats and shouted.

The entire Flemish stadium was cheering and thunderous, like a volcanic eruption!
