Chapter 1030 They are afraid
Lasky watched the football fly out of the baseline. He put his head in his hands and yelled in regret.
Hu Lai, who was in front, turned around and saw the Pole's annoyed look, and gave him a thumbs up: "It doesn't matter, Dominic, just play like this, have confidence!"
Just now, Lasky did not choose to stop the ball, but shot directly. It was very difficult to shoot like this. You must have confidence in yourself to play like this.
Hu Lai saw the positive aspects of it - as a forward, you really need to have this kind of confidence. Otherwise, even if you do get a good opportunity, you won't be able to seize it.
Dare to make moves, even if you kick the football away, it is better than being timid.
Moreover, from the perspective of Lasky's shot, the quality is quite high. If it was a little closer, the goal would have gone in, because it was a theoretical blind spot.
Lasky, who was encouraged and praised by Hu Lai, 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 had also shot twice 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 running in the midfield created opportunities for Laski to score.
Just like the attack just now.
All Laski 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 Hu Lai in front.
Hu Lai was stuck tightly to Payson, and he could only knock the football back with his chest, allowing Williams to connect.
Williams observed Kamara's movement before catching the ball - the latter knocked the football out with his heel, then ran forward without stopping - but he did not pass the football.
Because he found that Tramed's defense was already in place on Kamara's running route, and it would be useless to pass the ball to Kamara 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, feinted 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, the cross was passed to Jay Adams who had come up to meet him.
At this time, Leeds City players had a new opening in the frontcourt. Adams passed the ball diagonally to the right.
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.
Sure enough, Hu Lai 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!"
Amid 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 said, "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 again." 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 in this - if you don't continue to attack, you will lose one goal." A ball lead is not safe if we can continue to attack... and Leeds. When the city plays against each other, they also face the risk of conceding goals... It is said that Leeds City's unstable defense is a fatal flaw. But now it seems... when you do something to the extreme, it can also be daunting. . Leeds City is like that..."

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.
"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 next game, 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, are attacking aggressively, which makes Tramed unbearable and has to shrink the defense...
Seeing that Locke was still hesitating, assistant coach Mel Burnie 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 speaking, he turned back to the coaching bench, still a little angry, and handed over the task of conveying instructions to assistant coach Mel Burnie.
Deep down 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, in terms of offensive firepower, he knows very well that his Tramed is actually not as good as Catalonia United.
The advantage of Tramed is that they will not underestimate their opponents in the game...
So here comes the question:
After Catalonia United started attacking Leeds City, they still chose to attack Leeds City. Is this considered an underestimation of the enemy?
Locke thought of this, shook his head slightly, and suppressed the unwillingness and anger in his heart.
He cannot let the team repeat the mistakes of Catalonia United, otherwise he will be the team's biggest sinner!

"Tramed actually shrank his defense!"
In front of the visiting team's dugout, assistant coach Sam Landill let out a muffled 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 know very well what will happen when they attack us."
Randhir 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 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.
As Clark said, when the Leeds players discovered this scene, their first reaction was not to feel distressed and frustrated.
On the contrary, our morale was boosted - Tramed, who was playing at home, was actually afraid of us!
This shows that our way of playing is correct, let’s keep playing like this!
So they launched a more violent 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 looks 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 football 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's 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 Hu Lai's shot!
But Hu Lai didn't 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 Lasky shot!
"Lasky!!!"
The football moves 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!
In the 37th minute of the game, Leeds City equalized the score! (End of chapter)
