At the training ground of the Leeds City first team, a group match is going on.
The players shouted loudly to alert their teammates.
Various shouts and whistles, as well as the muffled sound of the football being hit, made the training ground lively.
Head coach Tony Clark was standing on the sidelines, paying close attention to the performance of every player on the field and keeping it in his mind.
The performance of some players in this game will determine whether they can participate in the second round of the League Cup in midweek.
In the second round of the League Cup, Leeds City's opponent was Helmer, who had just been relegated from the Premier League to the English Championship.
In this game, Clark does not plan to use all his main players, but decides to rotate.
Players who have not had many playing opportunities in the previous three league games may be able to play in the league. Of course, the premise is that they must work hard in training and impress the head coach with their performance.
Kamara got the ball on the left wing. He first made a gesture of breaking through in a straight line. After deceiving Dixon, who was guarding him, to take a step back, he suddenly moved the football to the middle and cut inside!
The defensive players judged that he would continue to dribble laterally, or cut inside and then shoot into the far corner from outside the penalty area. Everyone came up to block him.
Kamara did exactly this. He raised his right leg while dribbling laterally. This is a standard kick-off for shooting.
But then he didn't actually shoot the ball. His swung right foot made a false shot from the side of the football, and then swung it back suddenly.
In the process of swinging back, his heel forcefully knocked the football behind him!
The football rolled quickly from Dixon's side to the wing!
He actually passed the ball!
And it is a heel pass that is more difficult than the ordinary heel pass!
Quinn, who was running forward according to the tactical requirements, originally saw Kamara cutting inside and gave up hope on him passing the ball. So he did not continue running forward, but stopped and entered the drama mode. :(
/
Who would have thought that the football would roll towards me...
He was stunned for a moment and did not start immediately. When he ran up again, he could no longer catch up with the football. He could only watch the football roll out of the bottom line...
There were sighs of regret both on and off the field.
To be honest, Kamara's pass was really beautiful. If Quinn could react in time and move forward resolutely in advance, he could even bring the football into the opponent's penalty area and directly disrupt the defense.
Quinn obviously knew this. Although he was surprised, he turned around and gave Kamara a thumbs up to indicate that he had passed the ball well.
Kamara was not unhappy that such an exquisite pass was wasted.
"I always feel that Kamara is a little different from before..." Assistant coach Randall beside Clark frowned and muttered. "This pass is like this, and his breakthrough was also the same before. His feet are obviously more concise."
“I heard that Williams and Hu came to him specifically after training, and the three of them had a private conversation,” Clark said.
“They actually talked about Kamala?” Randhir was surprised.
"The two of them have a good personal relationship with Kamala, and it's normal that Kamala is willing to listen to them. But I think the most important thing is that the poor performance in two consecutive games should also make Kamala reflect on many... many aspects.
It’s a combination of factors. In any case, it’s a good thing that he’s willing to change.”
“Then…should he still be allowed to play in the League Cup against Helmer?”
Clark shook his head: "No. The League Cup must give other players opportunities."
Landhir nodded and had no opinion.
For Leeds City now, the League Cup is a competition for substitute players to maintain their match fitness. The team will not invest too much energy in it. After all, their goal this season is to avoid league relegation.
In order to successfully avoid relegation, even if Leeds City gives up both the FA Cup and the League Cup.
After all, whether it is the league or the FA Cup, it is very difficult to win the championship. If you cannot win the championship, it is meaningless. Relegation in the league is more realistic...
Although Leeds City did not field all their main players, they still defeated Helmer 2:0 away from home.
After being relegated, Helmer lost several important main players and its strength dropped seriously. Therefore, even in home games, it could not withstand Leeds City's rapid offensive.
Hu Lai went to the away game with the team, but sat on the sidelines throughout the game and did not get a single minute of playing time.
Because he also has to prepare for the fourth round of the league on Sunday.
It was a tough battle.
Leeds City will welcome traditional giant Tramed at home.
Hulai went with the team to challenge this team at the Red Roof Stadium last season and scored a goal in that game.
The entire Leeds City team performed very well in that game.
Unfortunately, they were awarded a penalty kick in the 89th minute and ended up losing bitterly.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, even if they lose the game, Leeds City players should not have any regrets or unwillingness. After all, the strength gap between the two teams is huge and they are not at the same level at all.
It is remarkable enough that Leeds City can only lose one goal in the away game and make it so difficult for Tramed to win.
No one knows what the Leeds City players went through in the dressing room after losing that game.
No one knows that this defeat was actually a turning point in Leeds City's relegation.
In fact, from this perspective, Leeds City must have a place on the list of thanks for avoiding relegation last season.
They can’t wait to welcome Tramed at their home court, and express to them the joy of successfully relegating last season, while once again drawing strength from Tramed to help them successfully avoid relegation this season.
When Tony Clark was preparing for the midweek League Cup, his eyes had already been set on the weekend league. He didn't care at all about the result of the League Cup. It didn't matter whether he won or lost.
Of course the final result was not bad. Leeds City, who came on as a substitute, were able to beat Helmer away from home.
Jay Adams played in this game and performed well. He and Pete Williams created sparks as a midfield partner in the game. This allowed Clark to see what the team's future midfield combination will look like.
“I decided to let Adams play in the next league game.” After returning to Leeds, Clark informed the coaching staff of his decision and no one objected.
After transferring from London Bridge, Jay Adams has not played in the league yet. After all, he has changed his position and has to adapt to many things again, and his training tasks are also very heavy.
Through the test of the League Cup, Adams' performance left all coaches speechless and said that this performance was truly worthy.
“In addition, Kamara will not play in the next game and will continue to sit on the bench.”
This decision surprised everyone, and Sam Randhir even took an extra look at Clark.
After all, it can be seen from recent training that Kamara has indeed changed. He is working hard to reverse his past playing habits and make his style of play more suitable for the Premier League.
"The young man needs to be beaten. Having him sit on the bench for two consecutive games is a wake-up call for him." In front of everyone, Clark explained why he did this. "He has to apologize for his poor form in two consecutive games.
Better to pay some price."
No one disputed this explanation.
To deal with an eighteen-year-old young man like Kamala, it is indeed necessary to use both grace and force.
It was a "favor" for him to play three consecutive games before, so now it is a "wei" for him to sit on the bench for two consecutive games.
Kamara was sitting on the bench wearing a training T-shirt, looking at the court with his eyes closed in the afternoon sunshine.
Leeds City’s home match against Tramed is ongoing.
Just now, Hu Lai in the penalty area completed a goal.
Although there was no goal and it did not even hit the goal frame, there was a burst of warm applause from the stands, encouraging and praising Hulay's performance.
This is Hulay's status in Leeds City today.
Kamara thought of what happened on the way to the competition today:
When he, Williams and Hulay walked through the air corridor and walked towards the stadium, huge cheers broke out from the Leeds City fans waiting below the corridor.
He is not so narcissistic as to think that these cheers are for him.
Obviously, Pete Williams and Hu Lai beside him are currently the two most popular people in the hearts of Leeds City fans.
Now both of these two men are on the court, only he is sitting on the bench.
Including the League Cup last week, he has failed to play in two consecutive games...
Kamara suddenly smiled.
Isn't this a normal situation for a player who jumps directly from France C to the Premier League?
It is unusual for him to have played in three consecutive league games before.
He knows that the coach's patience with him has run out. After a wonderful performance in the first round, he failed to seize the opportunity. So the current situation is entirely his own fault, and he deserves it.
There is nothing to say, just wait patiently for the opportunity on the bench.
As long as you give me one more chance...give me another chance, I will definitely seize it!
Ismail's stubborn young man Kamala sat on the bench and swore secretly in his heart.
Leeds City, playing at home, followed Tony Clark's habit of taking the initiative and started a confrontation with Tramed.
But it was the visiting team Tramed who scored first.
In the 31st minute of the first half, Tramed intercepted Leeds City's attack and launched a quick counterattack.
The team's French international player Papbonet sent a cross from the right wing. The young Portuguese international player who just joined the team this summer, the talented winger Ricardo Barea, headed the ball into Leeds City's goal.
goal!
"Balia!!! Beautiful! He scored the first goal after joining Tramed! After playing in three consecutive games without scoring, he finally broke the goal drought!" Sky
TV commentator Cox said loudly, "After moving to England from Portugal for 65 million pounds, he failed to score in three consecutive games. This has put Barea under tremendous pressure... Now
, he can take the burden off his shoulders and breathe a sigh of relief!"
After scoring the goal, Barea was very excited. He was like a monkey liberated from the Wuzhi Mountain by Tang Monk. He ran and jumped on the court. One change of direction to avoid his teammates, and then another change of direction and come up.
He passed by his teammates who were hugging him, and finally ran to the corner flag area, stretched out his hand to support the corner flag pole, faced the Leeds City fans in the stands, and looked up into the distance.
It’s just that in the eyes of Leeds City fans, this is naked arrogance. His high chin is a symbol of arrogance.
The stands were filled with harsh boos from Leeds City fans.
David Miller stood in the north stand, raised his middle finger at Beria below, and cursed: "Fuk! What a fart! He is worth 65 million and only scored a goal in the fourth game.
You still have the nerve to celebrate? I wish he had hit a wall and died!"
The son next to him, Matthew, nodded repeatedly and echoed his father: "That's right! Hu only spent us 12 million, and he scored five goals in the first three games!"
David turned his head and glanced at him after hearing this, and Matthew looked back: "What? Is what I said wrong?"
The father slapped his son hard on the back: "You are right!"
Little Matthew was so photographed that he grinned and felt that his father was taking the opportunity to retaliate...
But as a son, he didn’t dare to say this.
He had no choice but to follow other Leeds City fans in the stands and send sincere "malice" to the Tramed players below.
Boos and curses mixed together became the main theme in the Flanders stadium.
