"Historically, Sevilla Navigators have reached the Europa League finals six times before, and they won all six of them. This data can fully illustrate the dominance of Navigators in this competition..."
Xie Lan listened to Shen Lang's announcement and complained: "What's the point of talking about past data? The game is about the present!"
Shen Lang continued: "So it is not easy for Leeds City to defeat such an opponent. After the start of the second half, Sevilla Navigator really slowed down the pace and played steadily... while Leeds City obviously speeded up...
"
Shi Wuyin said from the side: "Clark's response is to force Sevilla Navigator to increase his speed. But whether this force will work is hard to say... I think it still depends on whether he can score. If Leeds City can't score, it's hard to say.
If you hit the ball, then no matter how fierce the attack is, it will be nothing more than 'big thunder but little rain'."
"You want to score? Of course it depends on my son!" Xie Lan answered like the second commentator.
But Shen Lang retorted on the spot: "It is a pity that Hulay has been targeted by the opponent since he scored the first goal, and it is difficult to get opportunities. It seems that in the eyes of Sevilla Navigator, Hulay is still a threat
The biggest, so I don’t dare to relax..."
Xie Lan rolled his eyes, feeling as if he was being targeted.
At this moment, in the ongoing game, Hu Lai was indeed being closely guarded by the opponent.
When Jule is in the penalty area, there will always be a Sevilla Navigator defensive player next to him. Sometimes it is centre-back Arthur, and sometimes it is another centre-back Victor Poyatos.
.
And if he withdraws from the penalty area, then Sevilla midfielders like Montero or Becker will appear next to him to prevent him from long-range shots. It seems that the Sevilla Navigator was kicked by Hulay.
The long shot was frightening, for fear that he would score twice with another long shot.
In response to this situation, after the start of the second half, Hu Lai played very concisely. After receiving the ball, he would always quickly pass it to others to avoid getting entangled with the opponent.
After passing the ball, he can give full play to his ability to run without the ball, move to find gaps, and look for opportunities while also disrupting Sevilla Navigator's defense.
In order to speed up the pace, Leeds City does not look for Hu Lai every time they attack, but gives the ball to whoever has the opportunity.
And follow the instructions of head coach Clark, shoot directly when there is a chance to shoot, instead of passing the ball around outside the opponent's penalty area and finally losing the ball...
Now Jay Adams takes the ball just outside the penalty area, while Hulay, Kamara, and Lasky are all at the forefront, especially Hulay.
He firmly suppressed the opponent's two central defenders in the penalty area, making them afraid to defend Adams. In addition, Pete Williams restrained the opponent's midfielder Montero, so Adams instead was at the top of the opponent's penalty arc.
Gained space with the ball where no one came up to press him...
"Jay Adams!"
With commentator Matthew Cox yelling, Adams finally hit the goal with a long shot directly outside the penalty area!
This kick was of high quality and hit the goal frame, allowing Sevilla Navigator goalkeeper Dulic to fly into the air and save the football from the bottom line.
In the next corner kick, Ben Grist grabbed the spot again and headed the goal!
This time Dulic was beyond his reach and could do nothing.
But the football was headed out by right back Federico Nogues who was standing next to the goal post!
"Nogues! Ah! A crucial clearance! He saved Sevilla Navigator's goal in front of the goal post!" the Spanish commentator exclaimed, "Leeds City's offensive is very fierce during this period! Be careful.
!”
※※ ※
"They want to force us to speed up, so we can't fall into their trap!"
Brent gave instructions to his assistant coach Leno.
Then Renault walked to the sidelines and made a "steady" gesture to the players on the court. He raised his hands and then lowered them.
Use this time to remind the players on the field not to be anxious. If we get the ball, slow down the pace and don't rush to play. If there is no chance, we would rather pass the ball back and forth in the midfield than forward.
In this way, Leeds City's rhythm of the game was interrupted.
If the ball is lost in the frontcourt, foul the ball immediately and do everything possible to prevent Leeds City from successfully playing the football.
This did have an effect. As soon as Leeds City's offense took off, it was dragged into the quagmire by Sevilla Navigator and could not smoothly pick up the speed.
After Clark stood on the sidelines and watched the game for a few minutes, he made a decision: "We still need to further strengthen the offensive and continue to increase the speed."
Randhir knew it was a gamble, but he didn't dissuade him. Because Clark had done similar gambles many times, and although he didn't win every time, it was indeed the only feasible way at the moment.
This is like two people competing in a boxing ring. They know that if they attack, they may be attacked by the other side, and they can knock out with one punch. But if they hold their heads and don't attack, sooner or later they will be defeated by the opponent with points.
At this time, it is better to attack, and then keep attacking until you are exhausted and knocked down by the opponent, or in turn, knock the opponent to the ground.
Randhir made a gesture to signal the players to speed up the pace and continue to speed up.
Leeds City was even crazier on the field.
※※ ※
"If we continue to play like this, we have to be extra careful behind our defense. It was too dangerous just now..."
In the stands, Levin said worriedly.
Leeds City looked like they were going crazy at the end, completely ignoring the space behind them and constantly attacking the Sevilla Navigator goal.
And the Navigators did launch several attacks to hit Leeds City behind.
One of them almost scored a goal.
If it weren't for goalkeeper Van Der Ven's heroic performance, Dani's single-handed goal might have ended the suspense of this game...
"There is no other way, we can only do this now. In fact, the Seville Navigators are not having a good time now, and they are also under tremendous pressure..." John said.
David Miller agreed: "John is right. Now it's really about who of the two teams can grit their teeth and persevere better. If the Navigators can't persevere, they will lose the ball. If we can't persevere, there will be no hope of winning the championship. So this
At this time we should support the team more! Come on guys, sing our song loudly!"
Almost at the same time, in every corner of the stands where the Leeds City fans were, there were people saying hello to their companions:
“Let’s sing our song!”
Then the singing of Leeds City fans rang out over the World Cup Stadium:
"We love you, Liz! Liz! Liz!"
"We go through it together, through the ups and downs!"
"We will walk together until the earth stops spinning!"
"Go ahead, Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!!"
They don't just sing it once.
They sang this song over and over again, and their singing completely suppressed the cheers of the Sevilla Navigators fans.
※※ ※
Leeds City's players indeed seemed to gain strength from the fans' singing. As the Leeds City fans sang over and over again, Leeds City's offensive became even more fierce, like a gust of wind and rain.
During this period, Sevilla Navigator was so suppressed that they could not even make it past halftime...
This made the Navigators fans in the stands very unhappy.
"We are the overlord of the Europa League. When have we ever been so frustrated?"
"That's right! We were beaten by a team that made it to the Europa League final for the first time!"
"Is Leeds City that good? Aren't they not very good in the Premier League?"
…
Brent, who was sitting on the coach's bench watching the game, turned his attention to the Leeds City coach's bench next to him. Their head coach Clark was standing on the sidelines, waving his hand from time to time to signal the team to attack.
"It's really crazy... I really want to find a way to the dark side! In this situation, I have to continue to attack... Isn't he afraid that we will seize the space behind him?" he said with emotion.
Assistant coach Leno said: "Why else would the English media call him a 'madman'? This is indeed not what a normal-thinking person can do."
"Football does require risks, but having a gambler's mentality all the time is not what a head coach should have..." Brent commented.
For Brent, letting the team press out and attack Leeds City like he did in the first half was a "last resort" and a "contingency". After the team took the lead, he immediately changed the team's tactics and restarted
Returning to a state of stability, this is Brent's favorite stage.
He doesn't like gambling, and if he wants to gamble, he has to do it as a last resort. Once he wins a small amount, he will stop immediately. This is what Brent thinks is the mentality of a normal person, and only in this way can he escape from the casino unscathed.
But in Leeds City head coach Tony Clark, what he saw was the state of a red-eyed gambler. This is wrong and very dangerous. Sooner or later, the team will be ruined...
※※ ※
Under the fierce offensive, Leeds City shot one shot after another.
Hulay grabbed a shooting opportunity in front of the goal, but his header was slightly on target and was saved by Sevilla Navigator goalkeeper Dulic in time.
After the football was saved, it was again controlled by Leeds City players outside the penalty area and quickly passed to Kamara's feet.
After Kamara got the ball in the ribs, he passed the football to Peter in the middle. After passing the ball, he moved forward.
Williams was obviously looking at Lasky on the other side, but a reverse diagonal pass came from his feet.
Passed the ball back to Kamara who moved forward!
This caught the Sevilla Navigators players off guard!
"Good shot, chance!"
While Kamara caught the ball, he knocked the football in the opposite direction with the outside of his right foot. At the same time, he made an emergency stop and passed the Sevilla Navigator right back Federico Nogues who was returning to defense.
Then he dribbled the ball straight into the goal!
Navigator centre-back Victor Poyatos ran to defend him.
Goalkeeper Marco Duric also moved quickly to the front post to block his shot.
However, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Hulay coming towards the goal, making a gesture to ask Kamara to pass the ball.
Although Hulay is followed by another central defender, Arthur, but Arthur has been blocked by Hulay. If the football is really passed, he can directly complete the shot...
Thinking of this, Dulic slowed down his pace to block the front point, and fixed his eyes on Hu Lai from the corner of his eye.
Although Hulay, who rushed towards the goal, made an obvious passing gesture, he shouted in French: "Shoot directly!"
He is not afraid that others will find out that the goalkeeper Duric is a Serbian international, the center back Arthur who follows him is a Brazilian player, and the guy who defends Camara, Poiatos, is Spanish.
They should be less sensitive to French.
Hearing Hu Lai's voice, Kamara twisted his body, opened his hips, and made a gesture to pass the ball, but then raised his right foot and swept the football to the near corner!
Goalkeeper Duric was unable to completely seal the front goal due to Hulay's involvement. When he saw Kamara raising his foot, he thought he was going to pass the ball. When he found out that it was a shot, it was too late to make any further moves and had to condition
Reflexively, he fell to the ground and stretched out his legs to block it. But the football rubbed against his calf, changed direction slightly, and still flew into the goal behind him!
Eighteen minutes after the second half started, Leeds City finally equalized the score!
