Lasky watched the football fly out of the baseline. He put his head in his hands and yelled with regret.
Hu Lai, who was in front, turned around and saw the Pole's annoyed look, so he gave him a thumbs up: "It doesn't matter, Dominic, just play like this, have confidence!"
Lasky did not choose to stop the ball just now, but shot directly. It is very difficult to shoot like this. You must have confidence in yourself to play like this.
Hu Lai saw the positive aspects of this - as a forward, you really need to have this kind of confidence. Otherwise, even if you really get a good opportunity, you will not be able to seize it.
Having the courage to make moves, even if you kick the football away, is better than being timid.
Furthermore, judging from Lasky's shot, the quality is quite high. If it was slightly inside, the goal would have gone in, because it was a theoretical blind spot.
Lasky, who was encouraged and praised by Hulay, took a deep breath. He also felt from this shot that he was in good condition today.
In fact, it was not just this shot, he also had two shots before, both of which hit the goal frame.
In this game, Hulay, who had just scored a hat-trick in the Champions League, was heavily targeted by Tramed and did not get many opportunities.
But his extensive movement in the midfield created opportunities for Laski to score.
Just like the attack just now.
All Lasky has to do is seize these opportunities and be worthy of Hulay's "sacrifice".

When Connor Kirk's long shot was caught by Van der Ven, he quickly got up from the ground and chose to throw the football to Kamara in front.
As the most skilled player on the team, Kamara did not turn around to catch the ball, but directly used his heel to knock the ball in the air to Hulay in front.
Hulay was pressed tightly against Payson, and he could only use his chest to knock the football back, allowing Williams to connect.
Williams observed Kamara's movement before catching the ball - the latter knocked the football out with his heel, did not stop, and went straight forward - but he did not pass the football.
Because he found that on Camara's running route, Tramed's defense was already in place, and it would be useless to pass the ball to Camara himself. Instead, there was a risk of the opponent stealing the ball and then counterattacking.
So he just made a gesture to pass the ball, took a feint with his feet, and went around the football.
Connor Kirk, who was tricked into returning to defense, retreated quickly, just widening the distance between him and himself.
Now Williams can get the ball more calmly.
He holds the football under his feet and brings it forward along his ribs.
After attracting Tramed's defense, he passed the ball across to Jay Adams who had come up to meet him.
At this time, Leeds City players had created new openings in the frontcourt. Adams made a long diagonal pass and passed the football to the right wing.
There were two men there, Charlie Potter and Lasky.
After receiving the ball, Porter actively sought cooperation with Laski. He pointed in the direction of the baseline to signal the Pole to move forward. Then, after Laski took away Tramed's left back Joseph Rogers, he did not pass the football to Laski.
Ski, instead he kicked the ball directly and made a pass!
He did not pass a high ball for Hulay to compete with the two central defenders Louis Payson and Scott Wilson, but a half-high ball.
The ball is very fast, and as long as someone touches the ball, it can easily cause chaos in front of the goal.
Hulai really relied on his more accurate judgment of the ball’s placement to kick the ball first!
He almost kicked the football towards the goal through Payson!
“Hulai shoots!”
Amidst the boos, Tramed goalkeeper Tom Walker made a wonderful save and hit the ball with one palm. The football hit the goal post and missed the baseline...
"What a pity!" He Feng yelled regretfully, and then added, "Leeds City's offense is still very threatening, and Tramed's one-goal lead is not safe!"
“Tramed should also be aware of this, so they were not satisfied with the score after taking the lead, but continued to attack aggressively, hoping to score another goal.” Yan Kang said.
He Feng joked with a smile: "I guess when facing this Leeds City team, I'm afraid they won't think that a one-goal lead is safe... But there is a contradiction here - if you don't continue to attack, you won't be able to take a one-goal lead.
A ball lead is not safe. But if you continue to attack... When you play against Leeds City, you will also face the risk of conceding the ball... It is said that Leeds City's defense is unstable, which is a fatal flaw. But now it seems... when you
Doing something to the extreme can also be daunting. Leeds City is like this..."

Kevin Locke on the sidelines had a sullen face. If you just looked at his expression, you would have thought that his team was lagging behind in terms of score.
“We can’t continue to attack Leeds City like this, as this will allow the game to enter the rhythm that Leeds City is accustomed to.” Next to him, assistant coach Mel Burnie suggested.
Locke was a little reluctant: "But it's obvious that we just scored a goal..."
Generally speaking, the team that scores the goal will have high morale in the following games, perform well, and have a more advantageous situation, and may be able to score again in a short period of time.
Even if you can't score a goal, you can still suppress your opponent on the field.
This kind of suppression can boost everyone's morale and make them look better.
But now the situation is reversed. Leeds City, who lost the ball, went on the offensive aggressively, which made Tramed unbearable and had to shrink his defense...
Assistant coach Mel Burnie saw Locke still hesitating and was a little anxious: "Think about Catalonia, Kevin!"
Locke heard this, took a deep breath, and finally gave in: "Okay, let the team recover their defense and push their damn offense first!"
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the coaching bench, still a little angry, and handed over the task of conveying instructions to assistant coach Mel Burnie.
Deep in his heart, he was unwilling to make such an arrangement, but his reason told him that this arrangement was correct. Otherwise, if he continued to attack Leeds City like this, he might really lose the ball.
After all, he knew very well that his Tramed was not as good as Catalonia in terms of offensive firepower.
The advantage of Tramed is that they will not underestimate their opponents in the game...
Then the question comes:
After Catalonia started attacking Leeds City, they still chose to attack Leeds City. Is this considered an underestimation of the enemy?
Locke thought of this and shook his head slightly to suppress the unwillingness and anger in his heart.
He cannot let the team repeat the mistakes of Catalonia United, otherwise he will be the biggest sinner of the team!

“Tramed actually shrank his defense!”
In front of the visiting team’s coaching bench, assistant coach Sam Landill let out a low-pitched exclamation.
"They are just ahead of us..."
Tony Clark laughed: "I guess they must have studied the video of our game against Catalonia well before the game, so they knew very well what the outcome would be when they played against us."
Landil frowned: "I really hope they continue to attack. Now that they are shrinking like this, we will have fewer opportunities in the frontcourt..."
"It's okay, Sam. It's okay." Clark comforted him, "Let the team continue to attack. Even if the opponent shrinks, we still have to attack. I think our players will definitely understand Tramei when they see this scene on the court.
Virtue lies in fear, which is more effective for them than any encouragement!"
When the Leeds City players on the field were attacking, they found that Tramed did not actively counterattack in the frontcourt like just now, but quickly retreated to his own half to prepare for the attack.
As Clark said, when Leeds City players discovered this scene, their first reaction was not to feel distressed and frustrated.
On the contrary, our morale has been boosted - Tramed, who is playing at home, is actually afraid of us!
This shows that our way of playing is correct, let’s keep playing like this!
So they launched a more fierce attack on Tramed's goal.
The boos in the stands were very harsh. I don’t know if they were booing them or Tramed, who was retreating.
The battle between these two teams is looking more and more like a feud...
※※※
"Adams made a steal in the frontcourt! Leeds City launched an attack! Kirk had no choice but to foul, and Leeds City got a free kick in the frontcourt... During this period, Tramed played a bit awkwardly. They were clearly in the lead.
, but now they are overtaken by Leeds City... No wonder the Tramed fans in the stands are very dissatisfied..."
Leeds City's free kick was not shot directly towards the goal. Instead, Williams passed the ball out and reorganized the attack.
They must take advantage of their fierce attack and take advantage of this opportunity to continue to put pressure on Tramed's goal.
After some passing, Kamara received the ball in the penalty area. Although his shot was destroyed by Tramed players, Hulay still grabbed the second shot in the penalty area and swung his feet to make a shot!
“Hu Lai! It’s dangerous!”
The Tramed fans in the stands exclaimed again and again, as if they were reminded of very bad memories...
Two central defenders, Luis Payson and Scott Wilson, rushed up at the same time, shoveling the football from the left to the right, like two goalkeepers, completely blocking the angle of Hulay's shot!
But Hu Lai did not shoot. He swung his foot and obviously lost strength. At the same time, he flicked his ankle and gently pushed the football aside.
There, Polish striker Dominik Laski shot!
“Lasky!!!”
The football flies forward quickly against the turf!
Tramed's England goalkeeper Walker fell to the ground and jumped sideways. His reaction was not unpleasant, and his fingertips also touched the football!
But that didn't change anything...the football that was poked by his fingertips hit the inside of the near post and bounced into the goal!
At the 37th minute of the game, Leeds City equalized the score!
