Chapter 676 Whose stage is this? !

"For Leeds City's goal just now, seven of their players rushed forward. In contrast, North London Wanderers only had five players to defend... It can be said that there were spaces everywhere in their penalty area. So losing the ball is really normal... Hu was as free and easy in the penalty area in North London as if he was a fish released into the sea. In Battersby When he went up to defend Williams, Hu who was running diagonally was not hit by a North London Wanderers player. It was not until he was almost catching the pass that Menaye went up to defend, but it was too late. It's too late... North London Rangers' defense is terrible, and Leeds City's offense is so beautiful!"

Matthew Cox commented on the offensive and defensive performance of the two teams after the goal. He mercilessly criticized the defensive performance of North London Wanderers, while Leeds City's overall offensive made him dissatisfied. Absolutely.

"Although Coach Clark's tactical style is controversial, he still insists on this style of play. As Leeds City players become familiar with and master his tactics, Leeds City's offense in the game is now better than that in the first half of the season. More threats! Of course, we cannot ignore another factor in this change, which is the arrival of Hu. Since joining the team in the winter transfer window, he has played 13 games for Leeds City and scored eight goals. , such a performance is really incredible..."

"With this goal, Hu Lai surpassed captain Lorenzo Esposito and officially became the top scorer in the Leeds City team!" He Feng announced excitedly.

Yan Kang smiled and said: "It only took him thirteen games in less than half a season to accomplish this achievement! In terms of scoring efficiency, Hu Lai is not targeting anyone..."

The two burst out laughing in a studio in the capital.

※※※

After finishing celebrating with his teammates, Hulay slowly ran back to his own half. In the process, he did not forget to applaud the Leeds City fans in the stands.

Matthew Miller saw him applauding and shouted: "Well done, Hu! You are the best!!"

When the father heard his son shouting, he took a deep breath. In the end, he couldn't say anything, so he had no choice but to spit it out again.

Levin in front looked back at their boss and signaled to him with his eyes: When are you going to boo?

David frowned and shook his head: What the hell!

It's already the fourteenth minute now... When the game restarts, everyone's attention is finally withdrawn from Hu Lai's goal, maybe it will be three or five minutes later. What’s the point of booing then?

The reason why they had to boo in the 13th minute has a special meaning, otherwise they could have booed at any time. But that would be completely inconsistent with their purpose...

It's nice to have Leeds ahead and David Miller is no exception. But why did this ball happen in the 13th minute... even if you were one minute later?

He looked up at the sky, feeling helpless.

※※※

Also looking up at the sky was Sean Barnett.

He didn't expect that he was in such good condition today. He was holding back his energy to score, but it was his opponent who scored first, and it was the Chinese forward who made such nonsense in front of him before the game!

When I go home today, Flanders should be my stage. I am the protagonist of this stadium!

Even though I have left, I am still a hero here and a superstar in the eyes of Leeds City fans! Look at the warm welcome they gave me back. Which Leeds City player could enjoy such treatment? !

Why did such a bastard appear on my territory!

Originally, Sean had no dislike for Hu Lai. After all, he and Hu Lai were incompatible with each other. Even if Hulay scored five goals in three games as soon as he came to Leeds City, he didn't take it to heart.

In any case, he firmly believes that a foreign player cannot shake his status in the hearts of Leeds City fans.

But the conversation between Hu Lai and him before today's game made him very unhappy.

An unknown person who just came to the Premier League and didn't even understand the situation dared to point fingers at me!

Who does he think he is? !

Sean finally looked away from the sky, but when he just looked back, he saw Hu Lai smiling at him in the opponent's half!

Not just a smile, but a wink!

A wave of hot blood surged to the top of Sean Barnett's head, and he almost broke through the Tianling Gai and burst out.

He tried to take a deep breath to calm down, and then stared at the other party.

Good, you pissed me off.

You'll soon find out what happens if you piss me off!

※※※

"North London Wanderers launched an attack from halfway and passed the ball to the center...Sean! Oops! He hit it high! This goal shouldn't be! It was ridiculously high! He used too much force when shooting..."


The football flew high over the crossbar and landed in the upper part of the north stand behind the goal.

Although his kick was substandard, the Leeds City fans in the stands did not boo or gloat. Some fans even applauded him and comforted him.

If it were anyone else, there would be no chance of receiving such treatment.

When Sean turned around and ran past Pete Williams in frustration, the latter snorted at him: "You don't deserve such treatment!"

Sean turned to look at Williams and ran away.

※※※

After taking the lead in the opening thirteen minutes, Tony Clark did not slow down and stood on the sidelines to let his players continue to attack.

Leading by one goal is too dangerous. We must strengthen our offense and strive to score more goals to further expand our lead.

So Clark, who appeared on the broadcast screen at this time, looked solemn and even a little nervous.

If there are new fans watching a Leeds City game for the first time, who know nothing about this team before, and don’t recognize the face of Tony Clark. Seeing this, you will definitely think that Clark must be the head coach of North London Wanderers.

No matter how you think about it, it is difficult to imagine that this is the performance that the head coach of the leading team should have...

In comparison, Sky TV's Premier League commentator Cox is much more used to it, and he also understands why Clark behaved like this.

After all, before this, Leeds City had indeed led by one goal several times and was equalized by opponents' goals.

So based on Leeds City's tactical style, it is completely understandable that their head coach would be worried when he was only leading by one goal.

"Clarke asked his team to continue attacking. With nearly seventy minutes left in the game, anything is possible. A one-goal lead is far from safe... The North London Wanderers side have clearly stepped up their attack. From Manchester There is bad news. London Bridge is one goal ahead of Tramed in the away game. With the current score, London Bridge will be tied with the Rangers in points, although it will still be ranked behind the Rangers with a goal difference. Later, but there are still two rounds left in the league, who knows what will happen?”

As Cox's voice sounded, the broadcast gave Allman another close-up.

The Swede in the camera was waving his arms on the sidelines and shouting anxiously into the court.

This is what a lagging head coach should do...

※※※

Aumann asked his players to press forward and use their stronger overall strength to overwhelm Leeds City, especially to start a faster fight in the midfield and regain the dominance.

In response, Tony Clark asked his players to make full use of the width of the court and perform various cross-pass transfers instead of fighting with the opponent in the middle of the midfield.

At the same time, North London Wanderers' midfield formation can be flattened, allowing their players to be spread across the width of the pitch, increasing the distance between players and preventing them from effectively contacting each other.

In this way, it not only broke the North London Wanderers' midfield pursuit and interception, but also created more offensive opportunities.

But one person needs to be connected, otherwise it will become simply passing the football from one side to the other. Everyone only saw the football flying sideways, but it could not be converted into a forward attack.

Fortunately, Leeds City have Pete Williams.

This talented player, who is four years younger than Sean Barnett, showed composure and calmness far beyond his years in the game.

As the team's midfield commander, he constantly moves to support and sort out the midfield.

"Williams' performance in this game was also very active. I don't know if it was because of his reunion with his former teammate Sean. After Sean left the team, Peter is currently the only pride of Leeds City fans. His performance has lived up to the expectations of the fans. After a difficult first half of the season, he has emerged from a sluggish state and is now only one win away from relegation. Excellent performance goes hand in hand! ”

When Pete Williams got the ball in midfield again, Sean Barnett, who was retreating to defend, suddenly rushed up and tried to use his speed advantage to catch Williams off guard.

He did quickly stick to Williams, forcing the opponent to turn around and protect the ball.

"Ah! This is a direct conversation between two generations of talented players from Leeds City! But I think this will only make Leeds City fans more sad! Because these two people once wore the same jersey and fought side by side at the Flanders Stadium. . Now they are each their own, fighting for the ball..."

The Leeds City fans in the stands were shouting like crazy for this scene.

"Listen to those cheers, Pete!" Sean, standing behind Williams, whispered through gritted teeth. "When one day you leave the team, how many people cheer for you now, how many people will scold you then... So you have to make them think that your leaving is the club's fault..."

As he spoke, he kept moving his hands and feet, grabbing Williams' arms and shoulders, and kept kicking from behind, trying to steal the football that Williams was protecting.

Williams didn't answer, or he was focused on protecting the football and didn't have the energy to argue with Sean.

He controlled the football and tried to turn around - he first turned slightly sideways and looked at Charlie Potter who was approaching him on the left wing.

After making Sean behind him think that he was going to pass the football, he suddenly used the outside instep of his left foot to move the football to the left side of his body and turned to the left at the same time!

When he turned around, he did not move forward directly with the ball, but suddenly stopped for a moment while stepping on the football.

Almost immediately Sean Barnett came in from the side.

It was during this meal that Williams passed Barnett who was sliding in the tackle.

Barnett was completely on the ground, helpless against the football that was so close at hand.

After passing Barnett, Williams took the ball forward and charged forward!

At the same time, the Leeds City fans in the stands cheered loudly.

"Nice turn! Williams got rid of Sean!"

In the excited voice of the commentator, Williams did not distribute the ball to both sides, but directly broke through with the ball and quickly reached the 30-meter area of ​​the North London Wanderers.

"Get up there!!!" Orman pointed at Williams in the coaching area and roared.

North London Wanderers central midfielder Andy Waterfield took the lead and left.

Facing this international player who had long been selected for the England national team, Williams was not timid. He swung his right foot and tried to shoot, but he just made a weak tap behind the football! Then, while Waterfield was blocking his raised foot, he moved the football to the right and continued to break through!

Waterfield quickly caught up after reacting and reached out to pull Williams.

Williams raised his hand to hold the opponent, resisted his interference, and then raised his right foot again!

This is no longer a fake move!

With a muffled bang, the football flew towards the North London Wanderers goal amidst the roar of the fans!

"Pete Williams——!"

※※※

Almost as soon as Williams shot the football out, Hu Lai, who was originally standing on the line of the penalty area and staying on the same line as the North London Wanderers defenders, suddenly came forward and rushed towards the goal.

The football flew low against the turf just a little ahead of him.

Rangers goalkeeper Lame made a save simultaneously with Williams when he shot. He fell to the ground and dived sideways!

And then successfully blocked the football!

But Lame was not happy about it because he failed to catch the football!

He felt the football hit his palm and bounce out again!

After falling to the ground, he struggled to get up and control the football...but right after him, a figure filled his eyes from far to near!

As he watched in horror, the figure rushed towards him and raised his foot to touch him!

The football flew past Lame's fingertips and flew into the... goal behind him!

"Oh oh oh oh oh!! Huh!!! He scored twice! Unbelievable! This is his third brace in the Premier League this season!! It was only twenty-seven minutes into the game, half Within the hour, he had already helped Leeds City gain a two-goal lead at home!”

Cox exclaimed at the game broadcast in the studio.

The Flanders Stadium is like an active volcano erupting!

Especially when Hu Lai turned 180 degrees in the air and landed in front of the corner flag area, countless magma turned into cheers and soared into the sky!

Sean Barnett looked at this scene from a distance and was a little lost: Whose stage is this? !
