The first half of the game ended not long after Hulay scored.
So He Feng is right, this ball is very important and of great significance.
If Leeds City goes into the halftime break with a score of 0:1, coach Clark will consider the premise of being behind when considering tactics. But now he only needs to think about how to overtake the score instead of equalizing the score.
Different starting points lead to different requirements for the team.
But one thing will not change, that is, after the Leeds City players returned to the dressing room, they were severely scolded by head coach Clark.
"...What are you doing? Do you really think you have won the league championship? Let's not say that the league is not over yet, let's just say that we are still behind Stan Park Rangers! Damn it! You are performing like this
What's the difference from the Stan Park Rangers who were sleepwalking all over the game when they heard we won in the last round?! And what reason do you have to look down on them?!"
Clark walked around the locker room, yelling at the players.
The players lowered their heads after being scolded by him, not even daring to look at him.
Through last season's final success in relegation and the ranking he led the team to this season, Tony Clark has gained a high reputation among the players. It is no longer like when he just took over the team. Now everyone
They are all willing to listen to him, and they won’t feel unhappy even if they are scolded...
"You have to know! What we are challenging is the giant in this national league! They are a giant team with more than a hundred years of excellent tradition! When we compete with such an opponent, if we cannot go all out, we will have the best intentions.
If you are lucky, you will definitely die without a burial! Why do you think that in the past thirty-four years, all the Premier League championships have been forced to be won by G6? Just because they have money and can afford the best players? Stupid! That’s because
They are a wealthy family, and they have enough experience and tradition to support them in the most dangerous moments! Are wealthy families a wealthy family from the beginning? Of course not! A wealthy family uses one championship after another to win in adversity again and again.
It’s the accumulation of experience in paving a bloody path!”
“We are going to challenge such a team. If we can’t do better than them, why should we win the championship? Just think about it with your brains?!”
Clark glared at the players in the locker room, showing no mercy for Hulay's equalizer.
After all, Hulay's goal cannot change the fact that the team played poorly in the first half. It can only show that Leeds City is pretty lucky.
"Stan Park Rangers made a mistake after we won the game against Boscombe, so we have to make the same mistake to pay it back? This is a football match, not a fucking duel of medieval knights! Give me a fight!
Come on, I won't allow you to be so confused in the second half! You are just so far away from making history... But if you miss the opportunity to make history because of your stupidity, you will regret it in this life! I promise you!
You will definitely regret it!"
After scolding all the players, Clark began to arrange the team's tactics for the second half.
In fact, there are not many tactical adjustments. The biggest problem in this game is that the mentality of Leeds City players is not right, so the tactics in the first half did not work well at all.
As long as they adjust their mentality and play according to the tactics arranged before the game, Leeds City still has a high chance of winning the game.
After all, there is a big gap between Abion's strength and Leeds City's.
The last time the two teams met, Leeds City beat Abion 2:0 away from home. It was just the beginning of the season, and Leeds City was not yet at its strongest.
Now, after a season of running-in, Kamara, Adams and Grist have basically fully integrated into the team, and the team's strength has been greatly strengthened. Otherwise, how could they compete with Stan Park Rangers?
If they can't beat Abion at home despite trying their best, then forget about the league title...
Of course, considering that Abion may shrink its defense, Clark still made some targeted adjustments.
※※※
“Although you lost the ball at the end of the first half, your performance was very good!”
Unlike Clark who went into "hairdryer mode" at half-time, Abion's head coach Kian Schiery was not shy about praising his players in the dressing room.
Originally, after Abion avoided relegation early, they had no desire for anything. But now they have found a brand new goal.
"Guys, we may not have thought before this game that we actually have the opportunity to become a key figure in determining the ownership of the league championship this season. As long as we can defeat or draw with Leeds City away from home, then they will most likely not win it.
To the league title this season!”
After this round of league matches, there are still two rounds left in the Premier League.
Stane Park Rangers will face London Bridge at home in the next round of the league. This game is not easy to play. But Leeds City's schedule is not much better. They will challenge Tramed away in the next round.
So if Leeds City wants to surpass Stan Park Rangers, today's game is the best chance.
After all, it seems that Abion is much easier to deal with than Tramed.
If Leeds City can't even win against Abion, don't expect them to beat Tramed away from home.
Hence, Sqiri was right when he said that Abion is the key figure in determining the league title.
"Years from now, when people look back on this season's Premier League title race, our name will be mentioned. But how they evaluate it depends on how you perform in the game. If Leeds beat us, they will
Reaching the top...the glory belongs to Leeds City, and we at Abion are just a stepping stone! Which of you wants to be a stepping stone?!"
He asked loudly, looking around with wide eyes.
The Abion players in the dressing room gasped and shouted: "No! We don't want to be a stepping stone!"
“Then hold on to the goal in the second half and don’t let Leeds City score! Especially don’t let Hu score! Otherwise we will not only be a stepping stone for Leeds City to win the championship, but also a stepping stone for Hu to win the Premier League Golden Boot!”
In Manchester Athletic's 2:1 victory over Boscombe that ended yesterday, Malvin Stones scored a goal.
But Hulay also scored in today's game, so he is still four goals ahead of Stones.
With two rounds left in the league, the gap of four goals is already huge. If Hulay scores in the second half and widens the goal gap to five goals or more... then this season's
The battle for the Golden Boot will also completely lose its suspense.
Whether it is the league title or the golden boot competition, it all falls on the ordinary team of Abion.
It seems to be destiny that allows them to choose where history will go.
※※※
After the start of the second half, everyone discovered that Abion had changed their tactics.
"They contracted their defense..." Stan Park Rangers assistant coach Brown said in front of the TV after watching for a while, "Does Abion want to directly defend the 1:1 score to the end? This is for us
What a great news!”
Regarding Brown's surprise, Brooks was noncommittal: "If they can really do it...of course."
But he was not sure whether Abion could really withstand Leeds City's crazy offensive in the second half.
This team is not good at defending, and they certainly have not done any defensive training specifically for Leeds City's offense before.
From the tactical difference between the first and second halves, it can also be seen that Abion wanted to defend the 1:1 score on a temporary basis.
So Brooks was not sure whether Abion could withstand Leeds City's attack.
※※※
"Abion adjusted their tactics and started to defend more. The players also played very concisely in the backcourt. If they get the ball, they will kick the football forward more. It is good to be able to counterattack. But if it cannot be played, it will be better."
, and will never let the football stay in their half, even if it gives Leeds City a throw-in in the backcourt..."
He Feng and Yan Kang analyzed.
"This is not good news for Leeds City. Abion voluntarily gave up the ball, which seemed like a suicidal move. But in fact, for Abion, who is not as strong as Leeds City, this may be a
The right choice. The team can focus on setting up the bus in front of the goal and concentrate all their energy on defense. It is much better than looking forward and backward to maintain a draw and win..."
After hearing the analysis of the two commentators, Xie Lan turned to her husband and asked: "Is that so?"
Hu Lixin nodded with a stern expression: "That's right."
“But isn’t Leeds City famous for its fierce offensive firepower?”
Leeds City, which has scored 77 goals in the league so far, is the team with the most goals in the Premier League this season, and its offensive firepower ranks first in the Premier League.
"Actually, Abion only need to be able to withstand half an hour, and they really hope to get a point away from home... As the game time becomes less and less, Leeds City will definitely panic if they fail to score. The mentality of the players will happen.
After the change, it will be even harder to score goals..." Hu Lixin explained to his wife.
“Leeds City couldn’t even score a goal for half an hour?” Xie Lan’s eyes widened, feeling incredible.
“It’s hard to say. Some things are difficult to explain clearly. It’s just like who would have thought that Stan Park Rangers would only lead by one point after leading Leeds City by seven points. This is..."
Xie Lan interrupted her husband: "I know, 'football is round'..."
After saying that, she curled her lips and continued to watch the game.

Huraira came out of the penalty area, received a pass from his teammate, and tried to shoot from a long distance. But this time, as soon as he received the ball, he was approached from behind by an Abion player. Let alone a long shot, he could not even turn around.
You can only pass the football with your back to the direction of attack, otherwise you might lose the ball to him...
After he scored with a long shot in the first half, in the second half, Abion stepped up its defense against his long shot.
And because of the recycling of all players, Abien now has more people to defend inside and outside the penalty area, and there will be no situation where he gets the ball outside the penalty area and the defensive players cannot be in place.
Unless he can retreat to the center circle and shoot from a long distance... But the problem is that Hu Lai can't shoot from that distance!
“We also talked about allowing Hu to take more long-range shots... Now it seems that Skelly has taken this into consideration for us.” Sam Randill shook his head and sighed.
“Since we are going to set up a bus, of course we have to block our most threatening offensive player.” Clark was not surprised.
“Now there are people in the penalty area and people outside the penalty area. It’s not easy to get an opening..."
"Space changes all the time, Sam." Clark said, staring at Abion's penalty area. "If we just pass the football step by step, it will be really difficult to gain new space... But we still have
As for Kamara, his breakthrough and dribbling can create space."
Landhir didn’t say anything, but just looked at Ismael Kamara on the court.
※※※
When Kamara was still playing in French Ligue 3, he never imagined that he would have the opportunity to touch the Premier League championship trophy after just one season.
His life has undergone earth-shaking changes in this season. He has gone from an unknown to a superstar...well, there is no "super" or "giant", but he can barely be regarded as a "star"
"Yes.
Although he is still not as good as those real superstars, it is still a leap for him.
In fact, he still doesn’t know how he, who was unknown in the French third league, was noticed by a Premier League team.
But that’s not important.
The important thing is that his performance deserves the attention of the team.
You have to stand up when the team encounters difficulties, just like Hulay, who always stands up when the team is in crisis and leads us to victory with goals.
That was the case with that goal in the first half.
Without his ball, our situation would only be worse now.
But precisely because of that ball, Hu Lai is now trapped in the opponent's muscle jungle, with almost no room to display.
He knows that players like Hulay will always be targeted by defensive players and trapped in tight siege.
That’s why I need to stand up at this time!
It's your turn, Ismail!
※※※
When Kamara received the ball on the wing, there were people in front of him.
Except for one Abion player who directly defended him, there were people inside and outside the penalty area, including those from Abion and Leeds City.
Because Abion has set up a bus, there is basically no room for Kamara to use his speed.
If he wants to do what he usually does, suddenly accelerating and relying on speed to get rid of his opponents, he can only throw the football into the crowd.
Looking at the dense crowd in front of him, Kamala sneered in his heart: Who said my only weapon is speed?
Kamara, who first came to the Premier League, was very flashy with his feet and was once ridiculed on the Internet as a "juggling player". His fancy moves were not only redundant, but also had no good effect.
Hence his performance was not good.
Later, after painful adaptation and adjustment, he finally found his own rhythm little by little: reducing redundant fancy moves, combining his own speed, choosing more concise and practical technical moves, and transforming himself into a fast horse on the wing.
But this does not mean that Ismael Kamara, a person with a background in street football, cannot play tricks!
