Chapter 1033 This is our home ground
"Julai!! Beautiful!! He finally scored! After two rounds of league games without scoring, he once again scored a league goal! And this was one goal ahead of Tramed! Luis Payson scored against him He was distracted in defense, as if he didn't expect Kamara's shot to be related to Hulay... It seems that Hulay's hat trick against Brazil in the World Cup still failed to leave a deep impact on Payson. Ah..."
"This is called healing the scar and forgetting the pain!"
He Feng and Yan Kang looked at each other and laughed.
Leeds City took the lead, and this lead was a goal scored by Hu Lai, and their mood was extremely good.
"But in fact, you can't blame Payson..." After calming down a little, Yan Kang explained, "After all, most defensive players will be attracted to Kamara when he shoots... Payson is in this game. China's defense against Hu Lai is successful most of the time, but it's just impossible There are players who can truly make no mistakes throughout the game and not give the opponent's offensive players any opportunities... Strictly speaking, this is the first time that Payson has lost Hu Lai in this game. But there is no way, who let Hu Lai. Is he such a striker with great ability to seize opportunities? ”
"That's right, Yan Kang. From the replay of the goal, we can see that when Williams passed the football to Kamara, Hulay had already turned around and inserted into the penalty area. But he did not run directly to the goal. , but slowed down and kept observing Kamara's movements. It was not until Kamara stepped into the penalty area that he suddenly accelerated and hit the goal. At that time, Payson was completely distracted by Kamara's movement. Attracted... I can only say that Hu Lai’s movement without the ball is really strong!”
The two commentators started the "fixed segment" of Xie Lanxie praising her son again.
Xie Lan was smiling happily in front of the TV.

Kevin Locke was in a red-top stadium filled with boos. Based on his experience of playing and coaching here, such violent boos are extremely rare.
Perhaps only rivals Stan Park Rangers could match the boos when they beat Tramed to win the league title at the Red Roof.
So just in terms of the level of boos, in the minds of Tramed fans, Leeds City at this time can already be compared with Stan Park Rangers.
At this time, Locke couldn't think about how the hatred value of one or two seasons could be compared with the feud that lasted for hundreds of years. He was cursing:
"What the hell! Our defense can't be that bad, right?! How can we let Leeds City score two goals in five minutes?! Damn it! Damn it!!!"
Assistant coach Mel Burnie remained silent beside him. He didn't know what to say at this moment and could only let Locke vent his emotions.
Judging from the scene, Tramed was indeed a little flustered after the equalizer, but this is normal.
It's not that if they panic, they will definitely lose the ball. Under normal circumstances, the situation would be a bit awkward at best. As long as you pay attention to shrinking your defense, you can still survive for a few minutes.
But in the face of Leeds City's offensive, Tramed couldn't even hold on for a few minutes...
He knew that Leeds City's offense was very fierce, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce!
When he conceded the first goal, he also told himself that he would make adjustments to the team's style of play during the halftime break to boost the team's low morale. He has even begun to mentally draft what he should say and how to say it in the locker room...
Fortunately, now, all his manuscripts have become waste paper.
Because all his ideas and rhetoric are based on the 1:1 score.
And now, Tramed is trailing 1:2 at his home court!
※※※
Next door, Kevin Locke was in a frenzy. In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Clark was hugging his colleagues on the coaching staff to celebrate this somewhat unexpected goal - yes, even Leeds City's own The head coach felt that the second goal came as a surprise.
Being able to equalize the score in the first half already made Clark very satisfied and happy.
After equalizing the score, his thoughts were similar to Locke's next door. They both felt that the first half would end with a score of 1:1.
So he is thinking about how to make midfield adjustments.
As a result, at this moment, Leeds City actually scored another goal!
So much so that Clark himself was stunned for a moment, but it was Sam Randall who hugged him from behind and bumped into him, which brought him back to his senses.
"Tony! We are ahead! Hahahahaha!!"
"Yes, we are ahead! But don't be happy too early, Sam. We will face an even crazier Tramed in the second half!"
"I know, of course I know, Tony. But I just want to cheer for the team right now, so why don't you ruin the fun at this time?"
Clark laughed, hugged Randhir with his back, cheered and laughed with him.
Yes, whatever problems and difficulties we may encounter in the second half are a matter of the second half. Now... let’s cheer for the team’s performance first.
Their performance is indeed worth cheering for.
※※※
Leeds City's players ended their celebrations and ran back to their own half.
In the process, they also shook their fists into the stands.
It seems to be a thank you to the few Leeds City fans who came to support.
But it seemed like a demonstration to the Tramed fans.
After all, they weren't just pumping their fists in the direction of the stands where Leeds City fans were gathering.
So the boos in the red-top stadium were even louder.
This kind of booing continued until the game restarted, even when Tramed's players were in possession of the ball, the booing did not dissipate.
It even beat the whistle that ended the first half.
If you didn't look at the referee's gestures, you wouldn't know the first half was over...
"What a surprising first half. After Tramed scored one goal first, he was chased by Leeds City for two goals in a row! Now I wonder if Tramed had a collision with Leeds City..." He Feng joked road. "Last season they were double beaten by Leeds City. For the first time this season, they were aiming for revenge, but Leeds City scored two goals in five minutes..."
Yan Kang next to him laughed out loud after hearing this.
Leeds City reversed the lead, which made many Chinese fans, including him, feel very good.
Watching the TV broadcast, Leeds City's players were also in a good mood. When they came off the field, they all had relaxed smiles on their faces and walked briskly.
Tramed's players, on the other hand, don't seem to have recovered from their dazed state.
They appeared in close-ups after the game, with confused expressions on their faces - until now, they still haven't figured out why they conceded two goals in just five minutes...
※※※
Every Tramed player who returned to the locker room felt anxious. After all, their performance in conceding two goals in a row before the end of the first half was really...too bad.
What they lost wasn't the ball, it was the person!
Many players saw head coach Kevin Locke getting furious on the sidelines after losing the ball. It can be seen from his exaggerated body movements that he must be in a bad mood...
So of course, they were worried that the boss would turn on the "hair dryer" in the locker room.
As a result, when Locke closed the door to the locker room, he did not roar angrily at the players, but apologized to the players first:
"The responsibility lies with me. As the head coach, I misjudged the situation and made wrong decisions, which resulted in the team being passive on the field...So the current situation and score are all my responsibility."< br>
This surprised many Tramed players, who did not expect their leader to apologize to them.
As a legendary player who once scored the winning goal in the Champions League final and helped Tramed win the Champions League trophy, Kevin Locke enjoys supreme status and authority in this team, plus Tramed is indeed Under his leadership, it has re-emerged bit by bit, so even active captains like Connor Kirk have to give Locke face.
Unexpectedly, such a legendary figure would bow his head and apologize in front of them!
Locke didn't care what the players thought of him, he continued:
"The mistake I made was that I shouldn't let you retract the defense in front of Leeds City's offensive. Because I completely ignored your desire for revenge. In fact...at that time, although Leeds City's offensive was very fierce, you should be I can withstand it completely, and I can even sneak up on them when their offensive is fierce and expand the lead... But I damnably chickened out at this time!"
Assistant coach Cohen Melburni, who was also in the locker room, lowered his head after hearing this.
In fact, it was not Lock who retreated, but his own fear, because it was he who gave the suggestion to the team to shrink its defense.
But now Locke puts all the responsibility on him alone...
Melburni felt a little guilty, but he didn't stand up to interrupt Locke.
Locke's words made Melburni lower his head, but made the Tramed players raise their heads and look at him.
They thought the boss would scold them bloody, but it didn't happen. The leader not only apologized to them, but also took all the responsibility on himself.
This surprised the players but also deeply moved them.
"Of course we lost the ball at the last moment of the first half, which wiped out our lead. But that's fine. At least we don't have to worry about gains and losses anymore!" Locke continued.
"This is our home court. How can we let Leeds City sit on our necks? Do we not even have the courage to attack our opponents in our own home court?"
During Lock's rhetorical question, the eyes of every Tramed player changed.
They woke up from the pain and confusion at the end of the first half.
The head coach's words were like a drumbeat, shaking their hearts.
Yes, this is our home ground, how can we be afraid of Leeds City here?
Fight them in the second half!
They say Leeds City are good at attacking?
Then let us find out!
※※※
"I know that if we fall behind, it will be easier for everyone to concentrate and put aside distracting thoughts. Because we only need to attack. But once we are ahead, we will become a little overwhelmed..."
In the visiting team's locker room, head coach Tony Clark spread his hands and said to his players.
"But it's actually the same. You just need to remember, whether we are leading, trailing, or drawing... we only need to do the same thing, and that is to attack! Because offense is what we are best at, and we are also the most mature. So remember, when you don’t know what to do on the court, attack!”
"...Tramed will definitely press forward to attack in the second half. We have to withstand their offensive while constantly hitting their backs! Tramed believes that they have reasons to beat us at home, but we also have to. Reasons to beat them here!”
Clark punched the palm of his hand.
If you want to compete for the Europa League championship, then Tramed, who is currently ranked second in the Champions League group stage, is a perfect touchstone.
Through the game with Tramed, we can see whether his team can win the Europa League and fulfill the biggest ambition in the team's history. (End of chapter)
