Text Volume Chapter 95 Do you still need me? After taking the lead, every time Tramed attacks, he can cause boos from the Leeds City fans in the stands.
In the past, Leeds City fans didn’t have much opinion of Tramed. After all, when Tramed dominated English and European football, Leeds City was still playing in the English League Two. At that time, the biggest wish of Leeds City fans
The team can be promoted to League One.
The two teams have only met once in history, and that was in the English FA Cup 60 years ago. At that time, Tramed was already a well-known team in English football, while Leeds City was still an unknown.
Tramed didn’t even field the main lineup in that FA Cup match. He only used youth players and substitute players to defeat Leeds City 4:0.
The failure of this game did not make Leeds City fans hate Tramed.
After all, the two teams can't compete with each other for eight lifetimes, so they want to hate others just because of a defeat? Then the Leeds City fans are too small-minded...
So after Leeds City was promoted to the Premier League, the two teams played against each other many times, but there was no story to tell.
Every game is an ordinary game. Even if Leeds City loses them all due to lack of strength, there is nothing to say.
This "peaceful" situation was not finally broken until the second half of last season.
It was because of the away game where Leeds City lost 2:3 to Tramed.
After the game, all Leeds City fans believed that Tramed had used the referee's help to defeat them, and that the penalty kick in the 89th minute was completely unwarranted. Just because Tramed is a wealthy team, he always
Being able to receive some care from the referee on the pitch.
And their Leeds City team is a small team, not loved by their parents. When playing against wealthy teams, the interests of small grassroots teams have to be sacrificed. After all, the Premier League does not dare to offend topical superstars.
The wealthy teams that want to enhance the image and popularity of the league can only offend the small teams...
To be honest, although this is a conspiracy theory among Leeds City fans, it is not completely unreasonable nonsense.
The Premier League has been making noises like this from time to time for decades.
Small teams will always complain about big teams and wealthy teams infringing on their interests.
This kind of complaining will never stop.
The former Leeds City were not even qualified to complain, because they were not players at the poker table at all.
Based on this mentality, Leeds City fans are very unhappy with Tramed.
This kind of emotion accumulated in this game, and the opponent scored first, and the celebration after the goal of Tramed player Barea was so... arrogant.
In the eyes of sensitive Leeds City fans, this is a provocation!
How can you endure this?
Those who didn’t have any grudges before now have grudges.
But in fact, the boos from the Leeds City fans did not have a great impact on Tramed. As a player from a wealthy club, none of these people have seen big storms. Let’s talk about how many of the opponents from the European continent in the European War are known as
The devil's home field?
Which one have we not been to?
A mere 30,000 people want to cause some trouble in front of us?
After taking the lead, Tramed's entire team got into better shape, and they played better and better despite the boos from Leeds City fans.
For a time, Leeds City's defense was in constant danger.
Clark also had to let his team temporarily focus on defense and first withstand Tramed's attack in the little time left in the first half.
This made the commentator Cox couldn't help but applaud Leeds City: "It's amazing. Leeds City's defense has made huge progress this season. Their head coach Tony Clark finally knows that he should shrink the defense when the opponent attacks.
, instead of pressing out and attacking!"
With "the biggest improvement in defense this season", Leeds City really defended its goal in the remaining ten minutes and did not let Tramed take a two-goal lead in the first half.

Tony Clark did not take the lead to walk back to the dressing room, but stayed on the sidelines, patting the shoulders of every Leeds City player who came off the field, giving encouragement and comfort.
When he was the last one to return to the locker room, he closed the door, clapped his hands and said loudly: "You did a good job in the first half. Although we lost a goal, but considering who our opponent is in this game, I
I feel that conceding a goal is not a big deal. Not to mention that we still have forty-five minutes to counterattack. After the first half of the game, we have roughly figured out their offensive mode... Vandelft's game
The game was missed due to injury, so they lacked transition in the midfield. Locke's solution was to go directly to the two wings, so in the first half of this game, Barea was very active..."
Clark was writing and drawing on the white tactical board while explaining it constantly, which made it easier for the players to understand the tactics of both sides.
"Balia is Tramed's left winger. He is mainly active on the left wing, but sometimes he will switch to the right. But he is a left-footed player, so when he switches to the right, you have to
Pay attention to guarding his inward shots, and you can let him pass appropriately. I would rather let him cross than let him cut in and shoot. His right foot is really bad."
Leeds City players were sitting in the dressing room, looking at the tactical board and listening intently to the coach's words, for fear that they would miss some important key information because of their distraction.
“…In terms of offense, we must also put pressure on them on the wing and push back their wing attack…”
At this point, Clark suddenly stopped, and then he looked at Kamara, who had just been called back by assistant coach Randall: "I need your speed in the second half, Kamara. But I don't need you to do it three times in a row.
When riding a bicycle, you don’t have to play tricks when you can obviously pass the ball directly..."
In order for Kamala to better understand what he meant, he also imitated Kamala's bicycle riding action, and then crossed his hands and made a "NO" gesture to indicate that this was not possible.
Seeing the boss's actions, there was a burst of laughter in the locker room.
These are all actions Kamara has done in previous training and competitions. At that time, he seemed to especially like to show off his skills like this.
Everyone admits that Kamala's fancy moves are really pretty to look at, but the actual effect... is far from good. Maybe in some cases, his unexpected moves can have very good effects. But in
Most of the time, it's just a wasted opportunity.
Amidst the laughter, Kamala nodded vigorously to Clark and said in very simple English: "I can't do it, boss."
After speaking, he added: "I promise."
Clark waved his hand for everyone to quiet down.
After the laughter in the locker room disappeared, he continued: "I still remember the time when we challenged Tramed in an away game last season. Although we did not win that game, I still remember it.
I saw your courage in that game. It's still true today. Although we are currently behind, I never thought we would lose this game at our home court. The reason is simple: we were the same as we were last season.
Their away game made them so embarrassed. We have become stronger this season, but we are still at our own home court, so how can we lose to them?"
Hearing his words, many Leeds City players who had experienced the game last season had thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Kamara doesn’t know what the grudge was between Leeds City and Tramed last season, and he doesn’t care about it.
He only knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come!
In fact, when assistant coach Randyll suddenly called him back while he was warming up on the court, he guessed that he would be substituted in the second half.
In the first half, he even vowed on the bench not to waste any more opportunities.
The opportunity is now in front of him so quickly, allowing him to fulfill his promise.
When the opportunity comes, I must seize it!

After the halftime break, players from both sides returned to the court one after another.
As Pete Williams walked out of the tunnel side by side with Kamara, he was still encouraging the latter: "Come on, Ismail. Just like you did in training, you have taken the first step towards changing your style.
.Your speed coupled with your simple and direct kicking style, I personally think you are not inferior to your opponent Barea at all. You are both on the left, but your speed is faster than him!"
Hu Lai, who was walking in front of them, also turned around and said to him: "Remember to protect yourself, Ismail."
Kamara looked at Hu Lai and suddenly asked: "Hu Lai, do you still need me now?"
Hulai did not expect that Kamala would ask this, but he responded quickly and said with a smile: "Of course, I always need you, Ismail."
After hearing Hulay's answer, Kamala didn't speak anymore and just nodded.
Following the two people, he walked onto the court.
Commentator Cox, who saw this scene, said: "Leeds City made substitutions at halftime. It could be seen that Clark was not satisfied with the team's offense in the first half. So he replaced Is.
Mel Kamara. But the problem is that Kamara's previous performance was not satisfactory... In the last League Cup game, he did not get a minute of playing time, and he also lost this league... But this
It's the dilemma of a small team. There is no way to have many big-name players to choose from even on the bench like Tramed. Apart from Kamara, there is probably no one available for Clark now... At least Kamara still has some speed.
and technology, may be able to create some threats... Let’s wait and see!”
