Ricardo Barea's goal lit up the red-roofed stadium.
When the game restarted, the Tramed fans never stopped singing.
Various songs sounded in the stands, creating a dreamlike home atmosphere.
This scene even made some Tramed fans in the stands feel a little distracted, and they thought they were dreaming back to the glorious days when Tramed swept across Europe.
At that time, almost every home game in the red-top stadium would have such an atmosphere. From the players to the fans, there was an extremely strong confidence that their team was the best in the world. Kings of Madrid, Catalonia, etc.
Spirit Bull, Insubre, Munich Blue and White... they were all defeated by the "Red Witch" and are not worth mentioning!
Tramed can defeat all incoming enemies in the red room!
People with poor psychological quality may have weak legs as soon as they step onto the field.
That was Tramed’s golden age…
Now... I don't know how many Tramed fans have tears in their eyes, believing that the team is really going to revive this time!
If there were Tramed fans standing in the stands of the red-roofed stadium at this time, looking up at the sky, and saying, "I'm back, I feel everything is back!", there would really be no sense of violation at all.
Leeds City played really hard during this period. They were suppressed by Tramed.
But despite this, head coach Tony Clark still discussed with assistant coach Sam Landill on the sidelines how to continue the offense.
"Charlie's speed is not good enough. When we fight back, we only have Kamala on our side..." Randhir said solemnly.
"I plan to replace Charlie and let Lorenzo come up to strengthen our ability to compete for headers in the opponent's midfield," Clark said.
Landier agreed: "This allows Lasky to go to the right, and he can also play as a winger... I'll bring Lorenzo back!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran to the warm-up area to call the team's captain, the 1.9-meter-tall high center Lorenzo Esposito, to come back.

"Leeds City took the lead in making substitution adjustments. They replaced right midfielder Charlie Porter with high center forward Lorenzo... Clark hopes to use this substitution to strengthen the team's ball-taking ability in the midfield. After all,
Lorenzo has a body and can hold the ball..."
After removing Charlie Potter, Leeds City changed their tactics slightly. Although they still focused on offense, their offense was simpler and rougher. They mainly used two wings and relied on the personal skills of Kamara and Laski.
Ability to open up situations on the wing.
At the same time, Lorenzo's playing also ensures that Leeds City has an important offensive fulcrum in the frontcourt.
In this way, Leeds City's offense does not have to hit very deep every time. They can directly cross the ball to find Lorenzo as soon as they enter the thirty-meter area.
Then rely on Lorenzo's header to ferry over and create offensive opportunities.
In this way, the number of offenses that Leeds City can launch is significantly increased.
This kind of offensive tactic actually has no technical content, but it is indeed the most suitable style of play for Leeds City at the moment.
After all, Tramed, who equalized the score, was in high morale and their offensive was even more intense.
In order to avoid being completely suppressed by them, Leeds City had to quickly pass through the midfield when attacking, or even abandon the midfield, and directly pass the ball from the backcourt to the two wings, or find Lorenzo.
Jay Adams' position is further back, giving full play to his characteristics of good long passing and wide vision.
Pete Adams, on the other hand, actively pushed forward and worked hard with Hu Lai to control the second landing point.
This is Clark's adjustment in response to Tramed's aggressive offense.
This adjustment also means that Leeds City did not choose to shrink their defense in the face of Tramed's offensive. They were still looking for every opportunity to attack, trying to use offense to push back Tramed's aggressive offensive.
"Adams made a long pass from the backcourt! He looked for Lorenzo! Lorenzo jumped up and fought for the top! He grabbed the spot! He gave the ball to Hu! Payson! He pushed the football away before Hu...
…What a pity, it was so close!”
"Tramed launched a counterattack and the football was handed to Barea. The Portuguese genius had very good footwork today! He dribbled the ball from the wing. Josh Lawler did not dare to take a shot easily, so he could only wait and play.
Back! Barea cut in! Adams came up to block his inward route... Barea shot directly! The football was drawn in an arc and went around the far post... What a danger!"
"Lorenzo once again won the first place. Although he is older, his judgment of football placement and the use of top fighting skills allow Lorenzo to still create threats in the frontcourt and stir up trouble! Hu Lai
Controlling the ball that was contested by Lorenzo...Kamara asked for the ball from the wing, but he didn't give it...but...directly took a long shot!! Oh!! Beautiful!! Tom Walker made it
A wonderful save! He lifted the football over the crossbar with one hand!!"
The Red Roof Stadium is constantly noisy. Most of the time these noises are cheers for the home team, but occasionally there will be sighs and screams after heart palpitations - that is when Leeds City's attack threatens Tramed's goal.
The game was not as Tramed fans expected, the home team was able to completely suppress Leeds City.
Although Leeds City did not have many offensive opportunities in the face of Tramed's aggressive offensive, they could create a threat every time they attacked!
The Tramed fans in the stands never dared to relax completely. Even when their team was besieging Leeds City, they were worried that Leeds City would lose the ball in a counterattack.
Of course, the experience of Leeds City fans is not much better than theirs.
While watching the game, they were always on tenterhooks, fearing that the team's weak defense would be blown away by the opponent again.
The back-and-forth fight between the two sides lasted for nearly 20 minutes, and no one was able to score.
The score of 2:2 seemed to be frozen.
When the game entered the last twenty minutes, the physical fitness of both sides gradually reached a bottleneck.
The Champions League match in midweek still had some impact on them.
Especially Leeds City. They went to play Catalonia away from home in midweek. They tried their best in that game. They won the game, but their physical exertion was also very high.
A few days after returning from Barcelona, we played against Tramed in an away game.
Two consecutive tough battles will test their physical fitness and will even more.
From this aspect, Leeds City is at a disadvantage.
Tramed clearly understood this, so Kevin Locke waved his hand, telling the team to bite the bullet and speed up the pace, trying to completely defeat Leeds City at this time.
He believes that as long as Tramed can score another goal, Leeds City's offensive firepower will be powerless.
Because physical fitness and mentality collapsed together!

"Let the two full-backs press up!"
When Sam Randall heard Clark say this, he turned to look at him in surprise.
"It's not enough to just rely on Kamara and Lasky on the wing. It's too easy to be restricted by the opponent's defense. We need to make the offense more layered and varied..." Clark explained to him.
Randhir shook his head: "I know, Tony. But this way, the gap behind us will be even bigger."
"It doesn't matter, Sam. As long as we can score before Tramed scores, it doesn't matter how big the gap is. Otherwise, even if there is no gap now, as the game progresses, our defense will be unable to withstand it sooner or later.
Now take a gamble and maybe you can win."
Randhir shook his head and did not refute, and went to the sidelines to deliver Clark's latest instructions.
After receiving the instruction, Leeds City's two full-backs really increased their investment in offense.
But in this way, the space behind them was also exposed.
Tramed didn't even wait for the coach's instructions. They made corresponding adjustments on the field and consciously strengthened the use of the space behind Leeds City's two full-backs.
Barea, who was in excellent form, switched to the right wing. Taking advantage of Leeds City left back Quinn's opportunity to join the attack, he cut in from the wing and entered the penalty area. After attracting the attention of Leeds City's defense, he passed the football across.
Vandelft fucked from behind.
As a result, Vandelft failed to stop the ball properly. He made one more adjustment and allowed Adams and Grist to work together to block his shot.
It's just that the two of them failed to successfully rescue the siege.
The football is still in Leeds City's penalty area.
There was a scuffle in front of the door!
In the end, Connor Kirk's shot slid out of the door, and Leeds City's crisis in front of the goal was resolved...
Kirk, who failed to score, put his head in his hands and looked very regretful.
The Tramed fans in the stands had the same movements and expressions as Kirk - when Barilla succeeded in cutting inside, they had already half-raised their hands, ready to cheer at any time.
As a result, the wait lasted for nearly a minute. In the end, he did not wait for Tramed to score. He could only put his hands on the back of his head and sighed regretfully for the missed opportunity of captain Kirk.
"It doesn't matter!!" Tramed head coach Locke shouted to the players on the sidelines, "Just play like this!"
Although there was no goal in this attack, he already saw the hope of scoring.
As long as Leeds City continues to use the two full-backs to attack, Tramed will definitely have a chance to score!
He really wants to thank Clark, this "madman" now...
At this time, the two full-backs were also pressed into attack. This was because they were afraid that the gaps and holes in their defense were not big enough!
