Chapter 170 Who would have thought of this?

 "They are slowly regaining their confidence."

Assistant coach Sam Landill leaned close to Tony Clark and whispered.

Clark nodded: "I see it. But it doesn't matter, let us continue to put pressure on them."

After he finished speaking, Randil came to the sidelines, first whistled and then gestured to the Leeds City players on the field to continue to strengthen their attack on Ferenc and not to slow down the rhythm.

Leeds City's players on the field can also feel that Ferenc's players are gradually recovering from the goal conceded in the first half.

They seemed to feel that Leeds City had nothing to do with them again.

In the plan of Ferenc's players, they would first withstand Leeds City's attack, and then take advantage of their opportunity to attack and launch a sneak attack to catch them off guard. Left midfielder Simon Lessorio has speed and skills.

The threat in the counterattack is huge. With center Hogg acting as the offensive fulcrum in front, the hope of stealing one is still high.

Their head coach Brolly has studied Leeds City. This is a team that will never accept a 1:0 result. Whenever there is an opportunity, they will continue to attack and try to score more goals.

This was Ferenc's chance.

If Leeds City closes in when things get better at this time and shift their focus to defense. With Ferenc's offensive ability, there may not be much that can be done against Leeds City who have shrunk their defense.

As for now...

Broly stood on the sidelines, looking at the court, but his heart felt a lot more peaceful.

There is still hope.

We still have hope!

Thanks to Albertazzi, his saves saved us hope!

Seeing that Leeds City had obviously stepped up their offensive after their assistant coach made the gesture, Broly felt that God had not abandoned him yet and Ferenc still had a chance. He now wished Leeds City could continue to attack and strengthen their offense!

Leeds City seemed to have heard Broly's wishes and came to fulfill his wish.

After strengthening the offensive, Ferenc's defense felt tremendous pressure.

Broly became excited on the sidelines. He kept waving his arms to signal his players:

"Withstand! Withstand their attack! We will have a chance!"

Goalkeeper Albertazzi was also ready for every Leeds City attack.

Kamara gets the ball on the wing.

In previous games with Ferenc, including the first round, he played very awkwardly.

Mainly because Ferenc's bus tactic is not suitable for his performance. After getting the ball, he will always fall into the opponent's intensive defense, making it difficult to perform to his own level.

He is the kind of player who has both speed and skill.

Personal ability is also one of the main weapons to break through intensive defense, but Ferenc's players have a high level of defensive tactics. It's like a chain is tied to Kamara, making him kick the ball everywhere.

The same is true for this game, but not entirely.

Because since Ferenc lost a ball, Kamara could feel that the chains binding him were obviously loose.

The opponent's mentality has changed from before they lost the ball. They want to attack. Even if they think about counterattacking after holding firmly, they are still thinking about attacking.

It is completely different from the previous one where the only thing was to drag the game into a penalty shootout.

As long as a team has the intention to attack, they will never be the same as before. There will always be some flaws and loopholes to exploit.

And this gap does not need to be big, so Kamara can have more room to play.

When he picked up the ball on the left wing, he first made a very conventional bicycle fake move. Ferenc's right midfielder Fabio Montesano was unmoved.

As an experienced Italian player, he doesn't accept fake moves of this level at all.

Kamara didn't expect the opponent to be deceived by his simple fake move. He was waiting for Ferenc's right back Manderly.

He only had a chance when Manderley came up and guarded him with Montesano.

This sounds very strange. Generally speaking, when attacking, it is always easier to break through one-on-one than one-on-two. Why does Kamara still want the opponent to fight two against one?

That's because in Kamara's view, having two people defending him makes it easier for him to create some opportunities and find loopholes.

Because no matter how tacitly understood two people are, they cannot be as good as one person, and there will always be some coordination problems.

It is this opportunity that Kamara wants to take advantage of. It would be a bit troublesome for him to face the experienced Montesano alone.

Sure enough, as soon as he waited, Manderley caught up with Montesano and formed a flanking defense, hoping to completely strangle Camara to death.

Facing the defense of two people, Kamara was still riding a bicycle, but the rhythm was completely different from the slow pace before.

Just after the left foot crossed the football, the right foot followed the football. It was not a fake shot, but a real move of the football!

Seeing the football rolling towards his defense zone, Manderley, who came up behind, did not immediately step up to steal the ball, but chose to take a step back. This is a normal reaction. After all, it is easy to be deceived when taking the ball. Instead, he opened the ball appropriately.

The distance can prevent the opponent from breaking through.

But Mandelli forgot that he was not defending Camara alone, but with Montesano.

His retreat created a gap between himself and Montesano...

This is the opportunity Kamala has been waiting for!

His right foot just pushed the football over, and immediately threw it back, using the inside of his right foot to dunk the football to the left again!

The football rolled past between Manderley and Montesano. At the same time, Kamara himself was like a loach, chasing the football into the penalty area through the gap!

Manderly did not expect that his step back would be used by Camara. He and Montesano did not cooperate together, allowing Camara to get in!

"Ox tail! Kamala! Well done!" Matthew Cox's voice boomed.

When Manderley and Montesano saw Camara getting in, they quickly turned around and chased after them, but they were already stuck behind them.

Because they were afraid of a foul and a penalty kick, they did not dare to take any action. They could only raise their arms and follow behind to slow down. They were afraid that their feet would accidentally touch the opponent during normal running, which would create a problem for the opponent.

The chance of a fall in the box...

Kamara's breakthrough opened a hole in Ferenc's defense.

The originally stable Ferenc defense line experienced drastic changes. Due to Kamara's breakthrough, Ferenc players in other positions came to help defend.

Even goalkeeper Albertazzi moved here to block Kamara's shot angle.

Although Hulay scored many goals, no one stipulated that Leeds City's offense can only be completed by Hulay.

Or will Leeds City in turn use Hulay to contain Ferenc's defensive strength?

Therefore, whoever has the ball is the biggest threat. This is the biggest principle on the football field and must be followed.

From God's perspective, fans always say, "Why is there no one to guard Hu Lai? Why is there no one to guard such a big open space?"

That's because they can view all the details of the field from the sofa in their living room through the televised cameras from above.

However, the players on the field are in a highly tense mood, in the rapidly changing rhythm of the game, and there is no God's perspective. They only observe from their own perspective, and there are indeed many visual and psychological blind spots.

For example, now everyone is attracted by Kamara's successful breakthrough, but no one pays attention to Hu Lai at the back...

Xie Lan, who was in front of the TV, saw this, and she screamed excitedly. But she quickly held it back without saying anything. It was as if she was afraid that her scream in her living room would remind Feilun, who was thousands of miles away.

The same goes for the players.

Xie Lan saw that his son did not run directly to the goal to respond. Instead, he took a step back and deliberately distanced himself from the Ferenc players who came to support... Xie Lan, who was already very familiar with his son's playing style,

He immediately guessed what his son was thinking.

So she stared at the TV screen expectantly.

※※※

Kamara broke into the penalty area and stirred up the muddy water in the penalty area. He did not choose to shoot by himself, but... suddenly sent a cross pass, giving Hu Lai space to meet him at the back point!

As a goalkeeper with excellent quality, Albertazzi once again made amazing predictions and reactions. When his teammates could only watch the football being passed, he turned around and pounced back.

After turning around in one step and kicking off the ground in two steps, he flew forward, turned his body sideways, stretched one arm forward and raised the other high, using this slightly strange posture to maximize his defensive area...

This is the reason why Albertazzi always saves so many shots. He always tries his best to save a ball.

As he rushed back, he saw Hu Lai swinging his left foot while running!

He was overjoyed. Everyone knew that Hu Lai's left foot was far inferior to his right foot, so if the ball was shot with his left foot, the chance of missing it would be greatly increased!

In fact, Hu Lai didn't want to shoot with his left foot, but he had no choice but to adjust his footwork.

Players are always required to follow the prescribed actions in training, and shooting must have designated shooting actions. But in fact, in the game, not many shots are completely in compliance with the standard actions required by the textbook.

All those dogmas, in actual combat, have been simplified into one sentence: "No matter what, as long as the ball can hit the goal!"

If the steps were correct, Hu Lai hoped to use the outside instep of his right foot to bounce the football towards the goal. But the situation on the scene was not so perfect. When the football was passed, Hu Lai found that he could not wait to use his right foot to shoot.

It must be the left foot, and only the left foot.

He knew that his left foot was not very good, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

He kicked the football with his left foot!

Albertazi flew back!

The football kicked by Hu Lai flew... not to the goal, but to Hu Lai's face!

His left foot is still not very proficient after all...

Hu Lai felt his eyes go dark and there was a bang!

The football hit him hard in the face!

Albertazzi, who was flying in the air and stretching his body to the limit, watched with wide eyes as the football was kicked into his face by Hulay, then refracted and rebounded, flying towards the goal on the other side... just in time with Albert in the air.

Betazi "passed by"!

He turned his head following the football, and his widened eyes registered all this scene on his retina:

The football flew into the goal!

In this way that no one expected, it flew into Albertazzi's goal in a weird and funny way.

This is the second act of the game!
