Chapter 110 Top strikers often only need simple attacking methods
In two attacks in a short period of time, Hu Lai failed to score a goal.
But Pete Williams knows that doesn't mean Leeds can feel safe.
On the contrary, when the score is deadlocked, it is the most dangerous.
Because it only takes one goal to break this fragile balance.
So during the attack, he kept calling his teammates, asking them to press forward and attack, constantly putting pressure on the Madrid Pirates' defense, striving to score first.
As long as Leeds City can score first, it will be much safer.
He looked up at the big screen in the stands.
There is game time on it.
The game lasted seventy-two minutes.
The physical fitness of both parties will reach a bottleneck.
Whichever side can make good use of this opportunity may score a goal...
※※※
DiCunzo finally faced the offensive direction and got the ball.
This was a very rare opportunity for him in the second half.
Now he was facing none other than Leeds City defensive midfielder Junpei Morikawa, who had troubled him in the second half.
The opponent's yellow jersey was covered with green and brown stains. There was also mud and grass clippings on his arms, face and thighs. The jersey, which was wet with sweat and rain, clung to his body, making him look even more embarrassed than him.
.
But such an embarrassed figure made it impossible for him to make any achievements in the second half - Clark's adjustments at halftime worked. After curbing Di Kunzo's performance, Hulay got many fewer opportunities.
Facing Junpei Morikawa's defense, Di Kunzo wanted to break through with the ball.
But because the field was slippery, he did not dare to move the football too far when he started, for fear of losing control. So Morikawa Junpei caught him, and he was forced to slow down and turn around to protect the football.
Just like that, he once again turned his back to the direction of attack...
Pirates assistant coach Valentine, who saw this scene on the sidelines, said to Parotti: "We should replace Dikunzo. The field conditions and the opponent's tactical arrangements have restricted his performance."
Parotti nodded: "Go and call Ruiz back."
Sanabria Ruiz is a Mexican forward, but he is different from those compatriot forwards who have delicate skills and are not tall.
He is 1.9 meters tall, tall and strong, but his foot skills are quite average.
He is a stand-up center.
He has good header ability and can also help others with the ball.
The role is similar to Zhou Zijing who was replaced by Clark before.
Last season, he was the rotation forward of the Madrid Pirates. When he plays, he is mainly responsible for covering and cooperating with Di Kunzo.
This season he still plays this role, but there is one more person who needs his cover and cooperation, Hu Lai.
Replacing Ruiz means that the Pirates have to adjust their tactics, restore their usual wing attack tactics, and give up passing and controlling.
After all, this situation is not suitable for passing control now.
The Pirates need to play simpler and more direct, which will create more opportunities.
※※※
After Ruiz came on the field, Madrid Pirates really changed their style of play.
Just keep attacking from both sides.
The offensive methods are also very simple. Most of the time, the high ball is directly played from the wing to find Ruiz.
Let him compete with Leeds City's central defenders for the top position, while Hulay is responsible for the second position.
It has to be said that the 31-year-old Ruiz, who is also a high center forward and has been in Europe for many years, is better than Zhou Zijing in all aspects. Compared with him, the fledgling Zhou Zijing looks immature. He may only have
In terms of speed, the young Zhou Zijing still has an advantage.
Ruiz did cause a lot of trouble for Leeds City's defense.
Of course, the most important difference is that Hulay's ability to capture opportunities is better than Lasky...
Assuming that Zhou Zijing can create five opportunities in a game, Lasky can seize one and complete the score.
Ruiz may only need to create three chances for Hulay to score.
Tonini sent a cross from the left, and Ruiz jumped up under Ben Grist's defense to fight for the top.
Two people bumped into each other.
Although Grist pushed the ball, he was unable to push the football out of the dangerous area due to Ruiz's collision.
Hu Lai pounced on the landing point of the football, swung the ball and shot directly without stopping!
At the same time, Morikawa Junpei also rushed over.
He put his hands behind his back and used his body to block the eye-catching person.
Bang!
The football hit his chest solidly and bounced off.
"Junpei Morikawa! Oh - it was so dangerous! He blocked Hu's shot with a bullet-blocking defense!"
Hu Lai glanced at Morikawa Junpei, who was lying on his back, but did not go up to pull him, because the football was ejected from the penalty area, but did not fly out of the sideline, and the game continued.
He turned and ran.
Behind him, Morikawa Junpei also gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, then rubbed his chest while running towards his defensive position.
There were Leeds City fans in the stands cheering for Junpei Morikawa. They chanted the Roman pinyin of Junpei Morikawa's last name: "Morikava! Morikava!"
※※※
Leeds City was not passively beaten, they quickly responded in kind.
It was still Kamara, but this time he and Pete Williams changed positions, taking advantage of the opportunity when Madrid Pirates left back Ion Martinez stepped up to participate in the attack, and threatened the Madrid Pirates goal with the ball.
He first made a move on the left wing to pass the ball to Zhou Zijing. He tricked Joaquin Vela, who was coming back to cover, to jump up, then dunked the football into the penalty area, and followed suit.
Then facing Amantegui who rushed to defend, he used a fake move to get out of the way and shot from the outside of his right foot!
The football draws an arc and goes straight to the back of the goal!
It was Pirates goalkeeper Hywell who made another wonderful save. He flew across the body and saved Kamara's weird arcing shot with his fingertips!
"Havel! Well done!" Spanish commentator Sanchez cheered for the Belgian national goalkeeper.
Hywell's innate conditions are very good, with a height of nearly two meters and a wingspan of more than two meters. When he stands in front of the goal with his arms spread out, he seems to be blocking most of the goal.
In addition, his movements are very flexible, unlike some goalkeepers with such a tall stature who are a bit clumsy.
It's no wonder that in last year's World Cup, although Belgium did not reach the finals, he also won the honor of the best goalkeeper of that World Cup with his performance.
In seven games, Belgium conceded two goals during regular playing time - one goal was scored by Portugal in the quarter-finals and one goal was scored by Brazil in the semi-finals.
In the quarter-final match against defending champion Italy, the two sides tied 0:0 in 120 minutes. Hewel saved two Italian penalty kicks in the penalty shootout, helping Belgium win 3:1.
The penalty shootout sent the defending champion home.
Leeds City's attacking lineup was in good shape in this game. If it hadn't been for Hywell's high ball and low block in front of the goal, how could the Madrid Pirates and Leeds City have tied at 2:2?
Hywell's outstanding performance made Kamara even better. After all, he has forced Hywell to make many wonderful saves.
The stands of Flanders Stadium were filled with cheers for Kamara:
"We have a Frenchman who is as nimble as a cat and as fast as the wind. He is our Kamala!"
"Kamala Kamala! La la la la la!"
"Kamala Kamala! La la la la la!"
"He is our Kamala!"
※※※
Listening to the singing of the fans at the scene, Parotti said to Valentine: "This Frenchman has really caused us a lot of trouble."
Although Kamara did not score a single goal in this game, the second goal was also scored by Junpei Morikawa.
But Kamara is Leeds City's biggest threat so far in this game.
His activity put the Pirates' defense under constant pressure.
"I have a question. Since we have always been dissatisfied with Silverio's performance, why didn't we pursue Camara this summer? He can play on both sides and can be qualified as a right midfielder..." Valentin
Ask Parotti.
"Because we cannot recruit two core players from Leeds City at the same time. If we recruit Hu and Kamara at the same time, it is very likely that we will not be able to recruit either." Parotti replied.
When Valentin thought about it, it was indeed the case. Letting Hu Lai go would have severely damaged Leeds City's vitality. If Kamara was let go again... this team would really have to fight to avoid relegation.
He still sighed: "What a pity..."
Of course, the Pirates can wait until next season to try again, but there are not many teams in Europe who are eyeing the French international.
Getting Kamala is probably not much easier than getting Hulay.
※※※
"Kamala is in really good shape today." Sam Landill said with emotion on the sidelines.
"Thank you Hu." Clark covered his mouth and smiled.
As the team's head coach, of course he knew that Kamara and Hulay had a tacit cooperation in the past, but Kamara also wanted to prove in front of Hulay that he could still lead the team forward without him.
So Kamala is in extremely good condition today.
It feels like there is only one ball left to complete the game.
If that's the case, then give him a push.
After speaking, he walked to the sidelines and made a gesture to signal the Leeds City players to press forward further.
There were only fifteen minutes left in the game, and Leeds City had a physical advantage. Clark believed that the sudden pressure at this time could catch the Madrid Pirates off guard and cause the opponent's defense to collapse.
In addition to putting pressure on the lineup, he also shouted Zhou Zijing's surname, and then used his special tactical gestures to tell Zhou Zijing to bravely seek physical confrontation with opponents inside and outside the Madrid Pirates penalty area to disrupt their defense.
It also attracts defensive firepower.
Zhou Zijing understood this gesture, and when Leeds City attacked, he took the initiative to raise his arm and ask for the ball from his teammates.
Pete Williams saw this and passed the football diagonally.
Zhou Zijing had his back to the goal, one hand supporting Amantegui behind him, and the other hand open to maintain balance and prevent the opponent from coming around from the side to steal the ball.
Amanteji bumped into him unceremoniously.
Zhou Zijing was hit and staggered a little, but he still stopped the ball!
Then he hit him back!
He and Amantegui collided hard, but the ball was still at his feet.
Amantegui stretched out his foot to steal the ball again, but Zhou Zijing was one step ahead of him and knocked the football behind him with his heel!
Next to him Kamala passed like the wind.
"Good shot, wonderful pass from Zhou Zijing!"
"Kamala—!"
As the commentators roared, Kamara ran toward the football.
At the same time, Madrid Pirates goalkeeper Hewel decisively abandoned the goal and also rushed towards the football!
Kamara still touched the ball first, he stretched out his kick... and shot it!
The football was rubbed over Hewel's head and headed straight for the goal behind him!
The Leeds City fans in the stands couldn't wait to cheer.
But a figure came to the door!
"Ramirez!!"
The captain of the Madrid Pirates jumped up and just as the football was about to fly over the goal line, he pushed it out with his head!
When Zhou Zijing received the ball and passed the ball with his heel, Ramirez went straight to the goal, just in time to make a key clearance!
"Ah! Ramirez appeared in the most dangerous place and made a wonderful defense with his head!"
After the ball was pushed out by Ramirez, it fell to Ion Martinez.
The left back of the Madrid Pirates did not stop the ball directly, but pushed the football forward with his head, and then accelerated forward!
Jay Adams quickly crossed over, trying to stop Ion, or... a tactical foul.
Ion didn't wait for Adams to approach, and directly passed the football diagonally forward with his big foot!
Just now it was Leeds City's attack, now it's Madrid Pirates' turn to counterattack!
The Madrid Pirates want to play simple. What is a simpler offensive tactic than direct long passes from the backcourt?
Ion was looking for center Ruiz who was in front.
He is also rushing forward.
Then he jumped high at the landing point and competed with Leeds City center back Acheson for the top.
He headed the ball in the air and swung the football diagonally forward.
There, Hu Lai passed in front of Ben Grist, and Ben didn't even react. He could only watch Hu Lai rush past him and behind him.
He was shocked.
Fortunately, he saw Morikawa Junpei chasing after Hu Lai!
"Ruiz's header went back, Hu Lai moved forward and was not offside! Pirates' counterattack!"
Facing the ball passed by Ruiz, Hulay raised his right leg while running and stopped the football firmly in front with the inside of his foot.
At this time, there was only Leeds City goalkeeper Mikael van de Ven in front of him. This was a single shot!
He just needed to control the football and stay calm... At this moment, he felt someone approaching him quickly from behind.
Junpei Morikawa took advantage of Hu Lai stopping the ball and accelerated to close the distance with Hu Lai.
He reached out his hand, trying to grab Hu Lai's shoulders.
At the same time, Hu Lai waved back and opened his hand.
But he wasn't trying to push away Junpei Morikawa. This waving movement was actually a "forward swing" to maintain body balance before shooting.
At the same time, his right leg also swung back, and it was indeed a shot!
Junpei Morikawa didn't care whether a tackle from behind would result in a red card, he tackled it!
But he didn't tackle the ball because the football was pulled back by Hu Lai's right foot!
Fake cum!
Morikawa Junpei, who was shoveled to the ground, completely lost his center of gravity and could only watch Hu Lai shake himself away with this fake move.
Hu Lai, who knocked down Junpei Morikawa, pulled the football in front of him with his right foot and took a cross step at the same time.
At this time, he had already rushed to the penalty arc and was only one step away from the penalty area.
Leeds City goalkeeper Van der Ven had already abandoned the goal and was almost at the edge of the penalty area.
Hu Lai's shot just now not only knocked down Junpei Morikawa, but also made Van der Ven pause.
So now he and Hu Lai are still a few meters apart...
This is a bit embarrassing.
He could only open his arms and try to increase his defensive area.
Such an opportunity was not difficult for Hu Lai. He started... and shot!
The football flew over the body of Van de Ven, who had lowered his center of gravity, drew a parabola over the Leeds City penalty area, and fell into the empty goal!
