Perhaps few people can understand the mentality of the players on the Leeds City field now, because it is too unbelievable to say it out loud.
It's not a good thing to concede the ball during the game, but Leeds City players don't see it that way.
Of course it is not good to lose the ball, but after seeing London Bridge continue to attack after conceding the ball, many Leeds City players were happy in their hearts.
After playing two games against Ferenc, being able to see London Bridge who was both offensive and defensive in the game simply brought tears to their eyes. God! This is a normal team!
Look, London Bridge is not the kind of team that shrinks into its own thirty-meter zone from the first second of the game until the final whistle!
They actually continued to attack after taking the lead! Instead of setting up a bus in front of their own goal!
Oh my gosh!
Is there such an angelic team in this world?!
I wonder what the London Bridge players and fans would think if they knew the mental activities of the Leeds City players at this moment.
But this is really not the Leeds City players showing off, but their real thoughts.
After playing two rounds of the quarter-finals with Ferenc, Leeds City players even had some PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).
They are really afraid that London Bridge will imitate Ferenc's tactics when they meet in the Europa League.
Fortunately, London Bridge is still one of the Premier League's G6 players, so it still deserves some respect.
This is at their home court, and there is no way they can achieve what Ferenc did. Even the previous head coach Miguel Tavares couldn't do it.
Ferenc's tactic of setting up a bus was to tell his opponent clearly from the beginning of the game: I will not attack in this game, I will defend. You can go ahead boldly. If you have the ability, you can kill me! But if you don't have the ability, then
I'll kill you in the penalty shootout!
There are really not many teams that do this, even Tavares has never been so extreme. They believe in "1:0 doctrine", not "0:0 doctrine"...
So when Kamara got the ball and threw Sosa away, Montgomery, who came to defend him, shoveled the ball out of the sideline. The Frenchman who was also knocked to the ground was not angry, let alone sad.
On the contrary, there was a happy smile on his face.
Because there is finally room for him to run!
This feeling is so good!
※※※
The morale of London Bridge, which was leading, was high, and with the cheering of the home team fans on site, the whole team launched an attack on the Leeds City goal.
Their two full-backs press across the center line to support the team's attack.
This is also a normal strategy for all teams when strengthening their offense.
In the eyes of Leeds City players, this is already considered "cute".
Because there is a large space behind the two full-backs at London Bridge.
After Fan Dewen held Park Suntae's shot in his arms, he did not lie on the ground and waste time. Instead, he quickly got up, passed over the Korean forward who had his head in his hands and regretted that he could not score, and threw the football to the winger.
Mala.
Kamara received the ball with his back to the attacking direction. Before he received the ball, he could feel that there were London Bridge players behind him coming up to defend him.
He quickly turned his head and glanced. The person guarding him was James Montgomery, the captain of London Bridge.
At the same time, London Bridge right back Ricardo Sosa, who was supposed to be here, just went up to participate in the attack. He didn't have time to return to defense, but he was rushing back.
So Kamala can't waste too much time on Montgomery.
He must get rid of the opponent quickly.
He followed the flying football and ran towards the wing.
Montgomery followed him.
After Kamara slowed down, he raised his arms with his back to Montgomery and raised his right foot as if to stop the ball.
Montgomery is ready to stick to him and hold him up. Without trying to steal his ball, as long as he can entangle him, he can give other London Bridge players, such as full-back Sosa, time to return to defense...
As he thought this, the football fell down and was blocked by Kamara's body, temporarily out of his sight and out of sight.
But he still pressed forward.
At this moment, Kamara's raised right leg did not stop the ball, but directly knocked the football behind him with his heel!
The football suddenly reappeared in Montgomery's eyes, but he had no time to react... he could only watch the football slip past him!
Then Kamala suddenly stopped and turned around!
Montgomery stretched out his hand reflexively but did not pull him!
Kamala slipped through his fingers like a gust of wind!
"Wow!" Matthew Cox screamed excitedly, "Kamala! Beautiful!"
In the stands of Southfield Stadium, the London Bridge fans who were still cheering started screaming, but their screaming did not mean excitement...
But panic!
Because London Bridge was very offensive just now, most of the players overwhelmed the frontcourt.
Apart from goalkeeper Alberto Bueno, there were only two center backs left in the backcourt.
Captain Montgomery was originally protecting the central defender from the front, but he was so easily thrown away by Kamara...
Now that Kamara has picked up the speed, the London Bridge goal is facing a huge threat!
The two central defenders at London Bridge, Tim Martin and George Birx, have worked together for many years and have a good understanding. They did not confirm each other's eyes and acted directly.
Martin, who was close to Kamara, moved laterally in a diagonal direction, trying to get stuck in Kamara's dribbling path, forcing him to slow down.
Birx turned around and went back to defend. At the same time, he did not forget to pay attention to Hulay's position. He saw that Hulay was also accelerating from the ribs to the middle, probably to meet Kamara.
So he leaned closer to Hu Lai while returning to defense.
Facing Tim Martin who came up to intercept him, Kamara did not continue dribbling. After looking up and observing the situation in the middle, he directly raised his left foot and sent a long diagonal pass just past the center line.
!
The football flew forward quickly against the turf, bypassing Martin and heading straight to the middle!
Hulay and Birx ran towards the path of the football together. The former wanted to catch the ball, and the latter wanted to interfere with the former getting the ball.
Birx's efforts seemed to be successful. Under his interference, Hu Lai did not catch the ball!
The football was missed from under his feet!
But Birx was not happy because he realized that there was no man's land behind him!
If there are still Leeds City players there, they will be killed!
He held Hu Lai's jersey with one hand and looked back at the same time.
really!
There, another forward of Leeds City, Dominic Lasky, was raising his foot to catch the ball!
Oops!
"Hu Lai missed it! Oh, it's so beautiful!" Shen Lang yelled.
The screams above Southfield Stadium turned to boos.
The Polish forward used the inside of his right foot to stop the ball from Kamara, so that he did not have to slow down and took the football into the penalty area!
London Bridge goalkeeper Alberto Bueno gives up the goal!
Laski glanced up at the goal and shot into the far corner with his left foot!
Bueno fought hard and didn't touch the ball!
The football drew an arc, bypassed Bueno's fingers, and turned into the goal as all the London Bridge fans watched in horror!
※※※
"Beautiful!!!" Shen Lang roared, "Beautiful!!! Beautiful Lasky!! Leeds City successfully launched a quick counterattack. It started with goalkeeper Van Der Ven throwing the ball into the counterattack. The front three trident passed and ran through tacit understanding.
The cooperation created a murderous opportunity! And Lasky did not waste this opportunity! His shot was very stable! In the 40th minute of the first half, Leeds City equalized the score!!"
"Kamara! Direct pass! Hu... missed it! Laski!!! Laski Laski Laski!!!" In the continuous roar of Matthew Cox, the football flew in
The goal of London Bridge. "The ball has been scored!! Lasky has scored in three consecutive games! Four goals in three games! His condition is red and purple!"
In the visiting team's stand at Southfield Stadium, 4,000 Leeds City fans raised their arms and cheered.
In front of the visiting team's coaching bench on the sidelines, assistant coach Sam Landill, who was originally sitting on the coaching bench, suddenly jumped up from his seat and rushed to the sidelines.
Head coach Clark, who was standing on the sidelines directing the game, turned around and rushed to the coaching bench. The two collided and then hugged each other.
"That's right! That's right! Aha! This is a normal game!" Randhir laughed. "This is what a football game should be like!"
Behind them on the bench, Leeds City players were also celebrating wildly.
Charlie Potter waved a towel and shouted: "Sixteenth ball! Sixteenth ball! Four more balls to go. Well done, Dominic! Come on, Polish boy!!"
Leeds City players on the field swarmed towards Laski who scored the goal.
They laughed and surrounded Lasky, pushed him down, and pounced on him to suppress him.
Celebrate this goal with loud boos.
As assistant coach Randall said, this is the "normal game" that Leeds City players like.
You enter one, I enter another, you come and I go, how nice it is!
