Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 197: They may be against us

The latest website: "The Premier League this season has come to an end, and the suspense is over... In the final round of the league, the third-ranked Vijayston accidentally lost to the North London Rangers 2:4 at home, and finally lost the Champions League. Qualifications. Tramed, who was originally ranked fifth, successfully landed ashore and ranked among the top four in the league with a 2:1 victory over Waldhampton in the away game. It is worth mentioning that last season's league champion Leeds City , Played poorly this season, and ended up only ninth in the league and missed the European theater. But they have not completely lost hope-if they can defeat Sevey in the Europa League final on May 27 Leah Navigator, if you win the championship, you can also participate in the Champions League next season..."

The news is summarizing the just-concluded Premier League, but Pierre Brent doesn't care very much. He only glanced up when he mentioned his team's name.

But the assistant coach Jorge Renault next to him couldn't help but complain: "Beat us to win the championship? Participate in the Champions League next season? They want to be beautiful!"

The performance of the Sevilla Navigator in La Liga this season is not satisfactory. There is only one round left in the league, and they have 56 points, ranking sixth.

If they want to get fourth in the league and qualify for the Champions League, they not only have to beat Barcelona Sarria in the final round of the league, but also count on Valentia to lose to Real Card in the fourth place. Steele, the fifth-ranked Getafe 1326, also had to lose to Real Carterhorn at home. Only when these three conditions are met at the same time, the Navigator can successfully land and get fourth in the league.

This is too difficult for the Seville navigator. It is not as easy to win the Europa League and participate in the Champions League as a Europa League champion...

"Jorre, you watched the last two Leeds City games, did you see anything coming?" Brent asked.

"There is one thing that makes me a little concerned..."

Renault then explained what he had observed.

That's about Dominique Laski.

After the game between Leeds City and Sandwell, English media was discussing how the Leeds City team created opportunities for Laski.

They were puzzled during the game. After the game, they wanted to find out the answers from the Leeds City players, but they all felt ashamed.

All the Leeds City players who appeared in front of the camera kept a close eye on this issue!

Either prevaricate, or simply refuse to mention it.

It was originally a very common thing, and this reaction of the Leeds City players suddenly made this thing unusual...

It's like telling reporters: "We have absolutely nothing to hide from you."

So the reporters went to ask the team coach Clark.

As a result, Clark said at a post-match press conference that he did not know what happened, and he did not arrange the tactics for the team to assist Laski. In other words, this is completely self-proclaimed by the players.

But it seems that Clarke is not very disgusted with the small private actions of the players-he smiled at the press conference and said that this shows that Laski has been well integrated into the team, and he is happy for it.

This answer made the reporters even more puzzled.

"I always feel that there is a taste of conspiracy..." Renault analyzed after speaking. "Obviously Clark knew what was going on inside the team, but he said that he didn't know, and he seemed to be covering up...If the players didn't say it, it might be that the coaching staff gave them a command to not publicize it. That is. What needs to be kept secret by the players? I think it may have something to do with Leeds City and our Europa League final..."

Speaking of which, Renault glanced at Brent, and if the other party thought his thoughts were too nonsense, he would not say anything.

But Brent waved his hand: "Go on."

"It's like this... I found that the situation in the last league didn't happen only once. In the last round of the league, Leeds played away to Sopton. There was also such a situation, but it was not so exaggerated. That game. The Leeds City players also deliberately passed a lot of **** to Laski, but Laski didn't grasp it, so he didn't score... I think this should be a rehearsal of our Europa League final tactics. After all, everyone knows that Hu is the top scorer in Leeds, and Clark knows that we must know that too, so we should make special defensive arrangements for this..."

Bren has a characteristic head. He is indeed considering targeted defensive tactics against Hulai. In his opinion, as long as Hulai can be frozen, the so-called powerful offensive firepower threat of Leeds can be directly reduced by half.

If he could know this, how could Leeds coach Tony Clark not think of this?

He will also try his best to avoid the situation where Hu Lai is frozen and Leeds City's attack is misfired.

"...And finding a'backup' for Hu should be the only feasible approach in a short time." Renault continued to analyze, "Lasky has also been in a very good state recently. Since joining Leeds City, he has made rapid progress, so let He came to back up Hu, and it was logical. At the same time, I also noticed that in the league, Laski’s last goal was a through ball sent by Hu La after leaving the penalty area. You must know that Hu is not a player who likes to assist his teammates. Such a through pass is even more unheard of for Hu. Another thing may also confirm my speculation-in the second leg of the Europa League semi-final, Laski scored twice. And he scored the victory. The ball was passed by Hu Ji...it was Hu’s first assist in the Europa League."

After Renault finished his analysis, he was watching Brent quietly next to him.

Brent was lost in thought.

After thinking about it for a long time, he nodded and agreed with Renault’s analysis: “Laski has also scored 20 goals in all competitions this season. He is the second scorer in the Leeds City team. He is a forward that cannot be ignored...In this way, when defensive, Laski is also considered as a key target."

"Okay." Renault nodded and noted the incident.

"But don't relax the emphasis on Hu. He is still our priority defensive object in the game." Brent added.

"Understood. No one can let him go."

"Hmm... after doing a good defense, all that is left is to wait for Leeds to lose patience a little bit. Their tactics lack changes, except for offense, they lack other means. Such opponents really have to deal with some better..."

Renault smiled.

In the semifinals, he said that rather than meet Leeds City in the Champions League final, he does not want to meet London Bridge.

Leeds City helped the Navigator to solve the London Bridge, in fact, it can be regarded as helping the Seville Navigator to solve the biggest obstacle to winning the championship.

"Okay, let's put the Europa League aside and consider playing the final round of the league. Sarria wants to qualify for the Europa League on us, and we absolutely cannot let them do so." Lunt waved his hand.

"To be honest, I still feel magical..."

Yong Jun shook his head and said with emotion to Zhang Qinghuan.

"What magic?" Zhang Qinghuan asked.

"A team that was still fighting for relegation in the first half of the season now has a chance to qualify for the UEFA Europa League next season... I seem to have seen this story somewhere... Leeds was like this last season. The goal is to stay in the league, and in the end, I stayed and became the league champion. Oh, yes, Shining Star! Shining Star is like this. Relegation to staying champion..."

Zhang Qinghuan laughed: "Hu Lai still said in the group that this is the glorious tradition of Shining Star. I used to think he was talking nonsense in a serious way, but now I think it might be true!"

"Sevilla Navigator is not easy to deal with, even if it is your home court."

"Go all out, do everything in peace." Zhang Qinghuan's mentality is okay.

"But if you win the Seville Navigator, Hulay will be in danger."

"why?"

"If the Voyager loses to you~lightnovelpub.net~, there is only one way left to win the Europa League. This is not good news for Leeds..."

"Uncle Yong, you think too much. Regardless of whether you lose to us or not, the pressure on Hu Lai will not be less. Even if you qualify for the Champions League next season in advance, the Voyager will definitely win the Europa League. After all, this is what is called the'Seville Voyagers Cup'...Since they have all reached the finals, if they didn't win in the end, wouldn't they be sorry for the nickname?"

With a word, Zhang Qinghuan woke up the troubled Yong Jun, he froze for a moment, then nodded, realizing that Zhang Qinghuan was right.

"So... Since our results won't affect the other side, why don't we give it a go? If you qualify for the Europa League, it's not bad..."

Yong Jun laughed: "If you can really participate in the Europa League, it must be of great benefit to your career!"

Zhang Qinghuan shook his head: "I didn't think so far, Uncle Yong. I just want to go to the Europa League to see and see, just like Hu Lai."
