Chapter 679 HUUUUU!
Quinn, who was sent off, did not return to the locker room.
Not qualified to sit on the bench, he chose to stand at the players' corridor and continue to pay attention to the game on the court.
At that time, the TV broadcast also gave him a special shot. It was obvious that he was very concerned about the impact of his red card on the team.
He punched the tunnel wall in anger when he saw Alan Woodiwiss swoop past Dixon, burst into the penalty area from the wing and then score.
Because of his impulsiveness, he eventually caused the team to concede a goal...
If he had not been sent off, the side he was guarding would not have become a breakthrough point for Woody Weiss, and naturally there would be no subsequent goals conceded.
Now we have one less person, and there is only one ball left to be chased by the opponent...
How will this game develop?
Quinn didn't dare to think any further.
Originally, a two-goal lead was a good situation. Leeds City had a great chance of defeating North London Wanderers, who were third in the league, at home.
Now they are all ruined by themselves!

While the North London Wanderers players were celebrating, Leeds City coach Tony Clark quickly walked to the sidelines and shouted to the players who were upset about conceding the ball: "Don't shrink! Don't think about not being able to keep conceding the ball." This kind of thing! Attack it if you need to!”
Pete Williams, who has already put on the captain's armband, is also slapping his hands to encourage his teammates: "Don't panic! We are still one goal ahead!"
Sky Sports commentator Cox joked: "Tony Clark is right, a one-goal lead is the most dangerous score in the world, and a two-goal lead is not safe. Look, no, Leeds City is in the blink of an eye." From a two-goal lead to a one-goal lead!”
"Honestly, Leeds City's offense under Clark's coaching is indeed more threatening and they play more passionately. But even the efficiency of conceding goals is too high... I think even if Leeds City succeeds in staying in the Premier League, they will not be able to win in the new season. You should improve your defensive performance... You can't always expect to score more goals than your opponents. How can such good things happen so easily? ”
※※※
North London Wanderers' celebration did not last long. After all, they were still one goal behind and they had to win this game if they wanted to retain their qualification for the Champions League.
That meant they had to score two more goals.
After the game restarted, they took advantage of the momentum they had just scored to launch a fierce attack on Leeds City's goal.
He looked like he would keep up his efforts and equalize the score in a short time.
Many Leeds City fans became nervous.
During the halftime break, they were chatting and laughing, talking about the pride of successfully avoiding relegation two rounds in advance, but everything was forgotten.
This is football. When you have the advantage, you feel that the whole world is no match for you. When you play against the wind, you feel that the whole world is against you.
Leeds City fans don't even think about relegation two rounds in advance, as long as they can not lose to North London Wanderers at home.
The fan organizations in the North Stand no longer care about competing with the club's top management at this time.
Their emotions follow the rhythm of the game, sometimes excited, sometimes frightened, sometimes nervous, sometimes irritable...
"FUCK!! Menaye pushed our player, this should be a free kick!" David Miller yelled in the North Stand, pointing to the pitch just below.
Next to him, other "White Rose" fans cursed worse than him.
After the two sides changed places to play again in the second half, the North London Wanderers' penalty area was right in the North Stand. They could see every Leeds City attack at close range, and they could also use their voices to influence the players who interfered with the North London Wanderers.
In a bit of irony, their shouting seemed to affect Sean Barnett's performance.
Not long ago, he missed a shot.
This is actually a good opportunity. Sean only needs to stop the football and shoot again, and his chances will be much greater. As a result, he shot the ball without stopping. Under the defensive interference of the Leeds City defender, he directly hit the anti-aircraft gun.
Rangers coach Auman on the sidelines frowned slightly after seeing this.
"No, Joseph." Orman was shaking his head at assistant coach Olson in front of the visiting team's coaching bench on the sidelines. "Barnett's situation is wrong. He is too impatient."
"I can see it, Ludwig. I suggest replacing him. He has wasted several opportunities for us... When we counterattacked, it was really demoralizing for him to squander the opportunity like this."
< br>
Auman thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Although he didn't want to overturn his pre-game arrangements, it was obvious that his arrangements had failed. He who is good at leveraging strength made a mistake this time...
I don’t know why, but Sean Barnett, who was in good form before the game, got worse and worse after he came on the field.
Could it be that I made a mistake this time?
Was it because he wanted to show off in front of his hometown elders so much that he was so eager for success that he couldn't show it off?
Auman set his sights on Sean on the court. He was running very aggressively and was trying to catch up.
If he were not a forward, but a midfielder, just looking at his game attitude, it would be really good.
But no matter how hard you work and waste opportunities, it won’t work if you can’t score a goal...
※※※
Although Sean wasted several opportunities, in general, the Rangers' offense was indeed more threatening and was infinitely close to scoring.
The Leeds City fans in the stands could only use boos and yells to disturb the Rangers players.
Beyond that, they can't do much more.
"We won't lose the ball again..." Levin, who was worried about the team's prospects in the North Stand, muttered to himself.
"Shut up!" John next to him yelled, "Just watch the game!"
David Miller glanced at his son beside him and noticed that little Matthew was so nervous that his body was shaking slightly, so he snorted: "Relax, son. You are going to become a professional player, your mental quality is too poor No. ”
After Matthew heard his father's ridicule, his body no longer trembled, but retorted: "That's better than your indifference, Dad."
"I have a normal mind. Regardless of victory or defeat, I must maintain a normal mind. Anyway, things like being ahead by two goals and then being tied by others have happened to Leeds City this season..."
Before he finished speaking, David Miller suddenly pointed at the court and yelled: "Fuck you Rangers, you still want to foul our people?! Go to hell!!"
Little Matthew stood nearby and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
※※※
On the court, Pete Williams made a deft turn to avoid Waterfield's collision with him. Then, while dribbling the ball forward, he looked up to observe the situation ahead.
The first thing he looked for was Hu Lai, who was running from the center to the right rib of the penalty area.
There is an opening there.
But Rangers center back Battersby is also following him. In addition, Rangers full-back Kyle Hawkins is also moving towards that place, and the two intend to flank Hulay - who scored twice After that, his danger level in the hearts of the Rangers center backs also skyrocketed.
At the same time, because after Lorenzo came off the field, Hulay played as a lone forward, and no one else could help him share the defensive pressure. He naturally became the focus of the Rangers defenders.
It stands to reason that in this case it is best not to pass the football to Hulay, but Williams thought of the conversation between Hulay and him during the halftime break, and he decided to take the risk.
After all, it was really a gap!
So he sent a through ball from a distance of more than fifteen meters and found Hu Lai accurately!
Hu Lai in the penalty area sideways passed the football while blocking Battersby behind him. Although Battersby is stronger, he is still in the penalty area and does not dare to use too much force. The body was pushed up, but he still had to raise his hands to signal to the referee that his hands were not moving.
If Hu Lai falls in the penalty area soon, you have to be aware of it...
At the same time, Hawkins continued to pounce on Hu Lai, intending to attack Battersby from both sides.
They will soon complete the encirclement of Hu Lai...
In that case, the best result of Leeds City's attack is nothing more than Hu Lai passing the football horizontally to the wing, and then passing the ball from the wing back to the center.
But at this moment, Hu Lai, who had passed the football, suddenly turned around and shot!
At an unfavorable angle and in a bad position, he actually shot directly!
Battersby's attention was still concentrated. When he saw Hu Lai turning around, he quickly stretched out his feet to block it.
Then he felt the football hit his calf. After rubbing it for a while, he got through!
He left nothing behind except the heat caused by friction...
Instead, the football had a small break line after passing through his calf. Instead of flying directly towards the goal, it hit the turf of the small penalty area downwards and then bounced upwards!
It just passed over the arm of goalkeeper Lame and jumped into... the goal!
※※※
Hu Lai, who turned around to increase the power of his shot, lost all balance after finishing the shot, turned his body in a circle and then lay on the turf in the penalty area.
His eyes were glued to the football.
When he saw the football crossing North London Rangers goalkeeper Lame's arm like a hurdle and flying into the goal, he hit the turf hard, jumped up from the ground and ran towards the corner flag area under the North Stand!
Amid huge cheers from the scene, he jumped high for the third time in the game, crossed his arms in front of his chest in the air, and then turned 180 degrees. Then with the powerful movement of his arms, he landed steadily on the turf.
At the same time, a loud roar came from the north stand: "HUUUUUU!!!"
As he landed, the sound echoed over the court. It was like a god descending from the sky with a huge roar when it hit the ground with flames!
