"Tramed has stepped up his use of the space behind our two full-backs..." Sam Landier reminded.
Clark nodded: "I saw it, Sam. But at the same time, there was space behind their wing, which we can also use in turn. If Locke thinks his team can open up the situation through the wing, that's fine, I hope
He does this."
Randhir grinned, this was really Clark's style.
What to do when the opponent's attack is too fierce? We attack too!
What should we do when the opponent tries to exploit the loopholes in our defense? We also try to exploit the loopholes in their defense!
In short, no matter what problem you encounter, there is a solution, and that is offense.
After Leeds City encountered problems this season, more than one person has written articles in the media criticizing Clark's low tactical level. He believes that the reason why he won the league championship last season was due to luck and the players' hard work.
Extraordinary performance.
They don't think Hulay's 32 Premier League goals are "extraordinary performances". They mean that other Leeds City players are extraordinary performers. For example, Charlie Potter, who had more than ten assists in the league last season
As a player, his performance before that was very mediocre and did not reflect any outstanding qualities.
There are many players like Charlie Potter who suddenly broke out last season in the Leeds City team.
It was precisely because of the sudden burst of the whole that Leeds City was able to win the league championship even when their performance in the Premier League G6 last season dropped.
They studied Leeds City's tactics and found them to be ordinary and commonplace. There was nothing mysterious about them and they could easily be studied thoroughly.
Therefore, Leeds City's results this season are not satisfactory.
Sam Landill disagrees.
To say that Tony is not a master tactician is something he agrees with. But to say that Leeds City's championship relies on luck is nonsense.
There are also different types of coaches.
Some coaches are masters of tactics. They have all kinds of tactics at their fingertips, can master them, and can make good use of limited personnel choices. Watching the games of such coaches, you can often feel the breadth and depth of football tactics.
Just because Tony Clark is not a master tactician does not mean that he is useless as a head coach and can only rely on luck.
He's just not that proficient in various tactics.
But his level in the field he is good at is not low.
Besides, he is very good at coaching players.
So it seems that a player like Charlie Porter, who was mediocre before a season, was able to suddenly break out last season. In fact, it was Clark's hard work in training.
It only takes Hulay less than a month to adapt to the rhythm of Premier League games and training. In addition to Hulay's own hard work, the plan Clark made for Hulay is also very important.
The head coaches of some teams are not that kind of training coaches. They often leave the daily training to the coaching staff, and they are only responsible for the general direction or tactical formulation.
But what some head coaches are good at is training the team.
In Randall's opinion, Clark is this type of head coach.
He knows what he is good at and what he needs, so he consciously strengthens training in this area during daily training. In the end, he can build the team into what he wants.
Strictly speaking, Tony Clark is indeed not a particularly top head coach, but he is the most suitable head coach for the current Leeds City team.
After Randall conveyed Clark's instructions, Clark took a step forward, stood on the sidelines, crossed his arms and stared at the field.
He seemed to want to use this method to express his determination to fight side by side with his players, so that the Leeds City players could see him as long as they turned their heads and know that he was watching them.
There are only twenty minutes left in the game, let’s fight Tramed!
Also standing on the sidelines with serious faces were Tramed head coach Kevin Locke and his assistant coach Cohen Melburni.
They also know very well that the competition has reached its most intense stage, and the moment that determines the outcome may appear at any time. The more this happens, the more they cannot relax.
※※※
Ricardo Barea, who has always been active on the wing, suddenly crossed into the penalty area while running without the ball and went straight to the center.
At just this moment, Tramed's left back Joseph Rogers sent a cross.
Bonet pulled away Leeds City's centre-back Ben Riegerst, while the other centre-back Teddy Bradford stood still waiting for a header to clear the ball.
"Rogers' cross... is dangerous!" He Feng exclaimed in fright when he saw Barea suddenly coming up from behind Bradford and leaping forward.
By the time Bradford caught a glimpse of Barea and tried to jump up and head the ball to save the ball, it was too late!
He could only watch helplessly as Baria climbed to the top before his eyes!
Leeds City goalkeeper Van der Ven jumped up and waved his arm almost reflexively, and his fingertips touched the football!
The football was so touched by him that it jumped up and hit the crossbar directly!
"Ahhhhh!!" Matthew Cox screamed directly, scaring the Leeds City fans in front of the TV to tremble collectively.
Of course, I don’t know whether they were frightened by Cox’s voice or by Barea’s header...
Many people patted their hearts and murmured to themselves: "God bless, God bless, God bless..."
How lucky Leeds City fans are, how upset Tramed's fans are.
"Damn it! Whose goal is this?"
"Why does our home goal help Leeds City?!"
Barea, who failed to score, also held his head with his hands and looked shocked with his eyes wide open. When he was flying in the air, he was full of confidence in the ball. He thought he could definitely push the football in.
The result...was rejected by the crossbar!
Clark, who was on the sidelines, made a gesture to the players on the field and told them:
"Don't panic! Keep attacking!"
※※※
Leeds City made a long pass from the backcourt, and Lorenzo jumped high in the frontcourt to fight for the top.
He successfully tipped the football back to Pete Williams.
Before Tramed's defense could surround him, Williams decisively dribbled the ball forward!
Hu Lai has been running in front, so that the two central defenders of Tramed did not dare to step forward to defend Williams.
In this way, the opponent quickly dribbled the ball to the 30-meter line, and Scott Wilson rushed forward to block it.
When Wilson rushed forward, Williams volleyed with great force!
After he finished shooting, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. This shows how powerful this shot was...
The football flew low against the turf and flew towards the goal!
Tramed's goalkeeper Tom Walker fell to the ground and dove sideways, blocking the football!
It's just that Williams' shot was so powerful that Walker could only block the football but couldn't control it.
After the football was saved by him, it bounced back.
Hu Lai, who was ambushing in the penalty area, rushed towards the football!
Luis Payson, who had been sticking close to him, stepped forward and squeezed Hulay with his body, and at the same time stretched his feet to block Hulay's shot.
Hu Lai raised his right foot...but it wasn't a shot!
The inside of his foot gently hooked the football behind him!
Payson scooped it up!
He slid out and waved his arms to catch Hu Lai. At this time, even if it was a foul, he would never be able to complete the shot!
But Hu Lai was as slippery as a loach. He shrank his head and turned around to get away, but Payson didn't catch it!
He lost his defensive goal!
"Hu Lai! Opportunity!!"
However, goalkeeper Tom Walker reacted very quickly. He had already gotten up from the ground and rushed towards the football.
Hu Lai, who had dodged Payson, turned around, adjusted his steps, swung his feet and shot!
Walker jumped out!
But the football is nowhere to be seen!
Not only was the goalkeeper shaken, but the commentator was also shaken!
"Hu Lai shoots! Eh?!"
After He Feng shouted "shoot", he realized that the football was not kicked out and Hu Lai feinted!
Hu Lai's right foot crossed over the football, and then he flicked his ankle in the opposite direction, using his outer instep to bounce the football to the other side.
There is a huge void there!
Dominic Lasky came in with a long stride, and at the same time he began to adjust his pace while running. Facing the rolling football, he did not stop to adjust, but directly raised his right foot, straightened his instep... and volleyed!
The football is like a white meteor, crashing into the goal!
"Huh...he passed the ball! Beautiful Laski! Beautiful!! An unexpected goal! In the 74th minute of the game, Leeds City took the lead again!" Cox shouted excitedly.
Laski, who scored the goal, turned and ran towards the corner flag area, then jumped up and spun in the air, crossed his arms and swung them down from his chest, and finally landed!
Although he was a little unsteady when he finally landed and took several steps back to stop himself, everyone could see that this was Hu Lai's celebration!
Lasky used this celebration to express his gratitude to Hulay who assisted him!
This is Hule's second assist in this game, and the beneficiaries of these two assists are Polish forward Lasky!
