After the game continued, everyone quickly saw the difference in the division of labor between Junpei Morikawa and Jay Adams.
Jay Adams became the man covering midfield, with Junpei Morikawa marking Woldhampton playmaker Roy McCardley.
Upon seeing this, Matthew Cox said: "Clark probably wanted Morikawa to freeze McCadley. But McCadley is not the kind of organizer who will control the football at his feet. He will always come out quickly.
The ball...will this arrangement make Morikawa lose his advantages of large coverage and good running? Let us wait and see..."
Woldhampton's Spanish head coach Javier Tobera told his assistant coach on the sidelines: "Clark is a little anxious. He seems to want to cut off our offense directly from the source. But this is stupid.
Yes, McCadry is not Williams, he doesn't need to control the ball more."
"Isn't this great?" The assistant coach covered his mouth and said with a smile, "Originally, the Japanese and Adams could cover both sides of their midfield, but now they let the Japanese guard our McCadry.
How can there be only one Adams left to take care of it? They want to prevent us from launching an attack, so that we can have more offensives."
Tobera nodded in agreement.
So he didn't make any adjustments and just watched from the sidelines, planning to watch Tony Clark fall into his hands.

After Roy McCardley received the ball from the backcourt in midfield, he wanted to turn around.
Before turning around, he also made a special fake move, as if he wanted to turn to his dominant foot, that is, to the right - generally players with low inverse foot skills will do this, this is human nature.
In this way, when the defensive player follows him to prevent him from turning right, and he suddenly turns left, he can catch the defender off guard!
As a result, when he turned from the left, he bumped into Morikawa Junpei.
The opponent didn't catch him at all, he only pounced on him when he turned left!
Damn it!
McCadry felt that the ball at his feet was blocked by the opponent, and when he tried to reach out to hook it, it was already too late...
The football was poked away by the opponent!
"Morikawa came up very fast!" Matthew Cox shouted. "He jumped up and attacked McCardley's weak foot. McCardley couldn't control the football. He lost the ball!"
When Hu Lai in front saw Morikawa Junpei's defense, he thought of what Morikawa Junpei said to him just now, so he quickly observed the positional relationship between himself and the Woldhampton defenders to ensure that he was not in an offside position.
Junpei Morikawa intercepted the ball, bypassed McCadley who had not yet reacted, caught up with the ball and passed it directly to Pete Williams next to him.
Even before Junpei Morikawa passed the ball to him, Williams looked up at Hu Lai with a feeling, and found Hu Lai looking left and right, so he knew what the opponent was going to do.
So when the football was passed, he immediately sent an overhead pass!
He Feng shouted: "Williams passed the ball without stopping! Leeds City's chance!"
Williams accurately sent the football behind the Woldhampton back line, and at the same time Hulay also moved forward decisively!
When he appeared behind the back line, Woldhampton players were still raising their hands to indicate that he was offside...
It wasn't until they discovered that neither the referee nor the linesman gave any indication, but just ran forward, that they realized - this ball is not offside!
It's too late for them to chase after him!
When Hu Lai was charging forward, he raised his foot and the football flying from behind stopped steadily about one meter in front of him. The distance was just right - stopping the football too close did not affect the connection of his next move.
Because of his speed, he didn't stop the football too far, so he couldn't catch up.
"Well parked!"
Because of this stoppage, Woldhampton center back Orlande Zanzara, who was struggling to chase back, was unable to catch up with Hulay. His hand was stretched out, but the opponent slipped away and only caught it.
A ball of air...
When Williams passed the ball, Woldhampton's Portuguese goalkeeper Rodrigo Martins decisively abandoned the goal.
It is meaningless to stay on the goal line at this time. You must shorten the distance with Hu Lai as soon as possible and block his shooting angle as much as possible.
Therefore, Hu Lai's stop was very important. If he had not stopped the ball well, he might have stopped it directly to the attacking goalkeeper Martins.
But now, after stopping the ball, he still had time to observe Martins attacking.
Then he took a shot from outside the penalty area!
He swung his leg high, lowered it gently, flicked his ankle, raised his toes, and launched a spoon lob from outside the penalty area!
Martins, who struck a little ahead of the penalty spot, saw Hulay swinging his leg and lowered his center of gravity in preparation for the save.
As a result, when he saw the football flying high, he felt bad...
I tried to force myself to jump up, but I couldn't resist the inertia. My body swayed and I fell to the ground, completely out of luck.
He could only look up and watch the football fly over his head and towards the goal behind him.
At this time, the only thing Martins could do was to pray to God, praying that Hu Lai's ball was not accurate and his strength control was not good, and it flew directly from the top of the crossbar and out of the baseline...
But God said: I have said it many times, this atheist is not under my control!
The football fell steadily, scraped the lower edge of the crossbar, and crashed into the goal!
Like the sun rising and setting.
"Hu - aha! It's indeed Hu! It's indeed Hu! He scored twice in the first half!" Matthew Cox said excitedly, "After being absent from the club for fifty-seven days, he
It seems that I want to repay all the goal debt I owe during this period!"
After scoring, Hulay ran towards the corner flag and made his signature celebration in front of the Woldhampton fans.
"When I had seen this action before, I felt it was a bit lacking in novelty after seeing it too much... But after not seeing it for a while, I missed it so much... Yes, that man, he is back! It's a little bit of a pity.
Yes, his return will not be at Leeds City’s home ground, otherwise the sky would be filled with thunder at this time!”
Leeds City fans are also very sorry, they can't wait to sing "Hu Zhi Song".
Although the Leeds City fans in the away game also sang, they were covered up by the boos of the Woldhampton fans and could not be heard at all.
But it doesn't matter, Leeds City will return to their home court in the next round of the league, and they will face Holt.
Until then, Leeds City fans will let everyone know how much they love Hulay!

When returning to his own half after the celebration, Hu Lai specifically hugged Morikawa Junpei and ran back to the half with him.
The Japanese commentator saw this scene and said: "Junpei Morikawa performed well in his first Premier League game. This Leeds City goal has a lot to do with him - it was his success against McCadry in the midfield
The steal created such an opportunity for Leeds City to counterattack. Junpei Morikawa accurately judged the direction of McCadry's turn, and was not missed by the opponent... I think if in this Asian Cup, Motegi Hirohito recruited Morikawa
If Chunping were the best, maybe our midfield wouldn't be penetrated by Zhang Qinghuan again and again!"
Mitsui Takahiro, who had returned to Japan, was watching the live broadcast of the game. When he heard the commentator's words, he shouted: "That's right! That's it! Let Motegi Hiroto know how stupid it is not to recruit you!"
Then he looked at the two people running back to the half court side by side in the camera and smiled very happily.

With these two goals, Leeds City took a two-goal lead in the first half.
Neither side made any adjustments during the halftime break. Leeds City's Clark still asked Junpei Morikawa to keep an eye on McCadry.
He gave full play to his candy-like characteristics and stuck to McCadry, making the latter miserable and playing very hard.
In the 66th minute, he even pulled Morikawa Junpei down from behind because he stole the ball from him, and took the initiative to apply for a yellow card for himself.
McCardley was completely frozen by Junpei Morikawa, and Tobera had to replace him. Therefore, most of Woldhampton's offense was launched through long passes from the centre-back.
Offensive efficiency and threat plummeted.
Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Woldhampton failed to score at home.
Of course, Leeds City didn't score again in the second half.
The score was fixed at 2:0, and Leeds City took all three points.
"Aha! The game is over! Leeds City defeated Woldhampton!" Cox shouted excitedly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the victory of this game is of great significance to Leeds City! Of course this is not because
They won. After all, they also won in the last round of the league. Victory is not a great thing for Leeds City... What is remarkable is that this is their sixth round of the league on September 20 last year.
:0 After defeating Holt, it was the first time he kept a clean sheet in the game! Not just in the league, but in all competitions, including the League, League Cup, FA Cup, Champions League... all games, it was the first time he was not in the game.
Lost the ball!"
Finally, Cox said: "It's so gratifying! It's not easy! It's amazing! An epic victory! Congratulations to Tony Clark and his Leeds City!"
