Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 182 Smecta

"Don't think about the goal lost in the first half. We can't stop attacking because we are afraid of their counterattack?"

London Bridge coach Todd speaks English with a German accent and is encouraging his players.

Leeds equalized in the 40th minute of the first half.

Five minutes later, the first half was over.

Because the time was too short, the players at London Bridge obviously did not recover from the blow of conceding the ball.

After the game restarted, they didn't dare to press the offense...for fear of being scored by Leeds in the same way.

Stord is to dispel this concern in the hearts of the players.

"Leeds City is a team that is good at attacking, and we didn't just know it today. In response to their attacking on the wing, in the second half, Park and De Heli had to come back to participate in the defense while attacking, to curb their attacking on the wing ..."

Pu Chuntai nodded upon hearing this.

Although he didn't score in the first half, he created a lot of threats to Leeds City in front of the goal. The goal at London Bridge also came from Park Chun-tae's shot which caused Leeds City goalkeeper van der Ven to drop.

The head coach's arrangement in the second half, coupled with the decline in physical fitness, means that the 31-year-old Park Chuntai may have fewer opportunities to perform on the offensive end.

But he didn't complain, and he didn't look unhappy at all.

Because he knows that for the team's victory, it is only right to sacrifice an individual.

What he said to the South Korean media was more than words. He really intends to practice this point of view - it doesn't matter who is the "Light of Asia" between him and Hu Lai, and he, who has entered the end of his career, doesn't have the heart to compete with Hu Lai anymore.

Now he only hopes that London Bridge can eliminate Leeds City and add another Europa League trophy to his career.

He still has some affection for this event-his peak period of playing football in Europe was marked by his winning the Europa League championship with the Seville Voyagers.

Now it seems that it is very difficult to achieve a breakthrough for Asian players if they want to win the Champions League.

It would be nice to be able to win the Europa League again.

Not far from Park Chun-tae, another London Bridge player with a young face also nodded vigorously, and at the same time replied loudly: "Don't worry, sir!"

He is the talented new star introduced by London Bridge from the traditional Ligue 1 giants Foss last summer, the young Tunisian international, Mohamed De Heli. The 23-year-old contributed seven goals and 11 assists in Ligue 1 last season, making him one of the hottest players on the transfer market.

In the end, London Bridge defeated Lyon Lions, Paris Eger, Catalan United and many other strong teams, and signed the new star with 48 million pounds.

De Hely's performance after arriving at London Bridge did not disappoint.

He has currently scored five goals and provided seven assists in the Premier League.

Considering the difference in difficulty between Ligue 1 and the Premier League, it can be said that London Bridge's 48 million pounds is not in vain if they can have such a performance.

De Heli is fast, skilled, and a fast winger.

And he is young and physically strong. Even if he sprints back and forth to participate in offense and defense in the second half, it is not difficult for him.

"On offense, Aiken, you have to keep dropping back to the midfield area, help you get the ball, and then use your ability to hold the ball and make the ball to instigate the offense. It is difficult for their Japanese midfielder to deal with you and Feeney alone. Personal, so you have to get closer to Finny..."

Stoder said this sentence in German, because he was speaking to a fellow German, Rudolf Aiken. The 25-year-old German international was still working with Julian Stodd in the Bundesliga's Saxenstadt last season-yes, Aiken is Stodd's "old team".

The two helped Saxenstadt win the third place in the Bundesliga last season. After qualifying for the Champions League, Stodd was poached by London Bridge.

After becoming London Bridge manager, Stodd pushed for the club to sign Rudolf Aiken, his favorite student in Saxonstadt.

Aiken is tall,

But he is not the kind of powerful center. He has excellent skills and has good ball handling and passing skills. The ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal is slightly poor, but his presence can revitalize London Bridge's frontcourt attack.

Park Chun-tae, who has performed unsatisfactorily for two seasons after transferring to London Bridge, was also reborn because of Aiken's arrival. This season, he has scored 13 goals in the Premier League and five goals in the Europa League, which has created a single-season scoring record after he moved to London Bridge. And you must know that Park Chuntai was injured in the middle of this season and missed the game for two months.

Aiken nodded, expressing his understanding. The experience of cooperating in Saxonstadt made him listen to Stord very much.

Robin Feeney is the attacking midfielder of London Bridge. He is a Dutch international. He is not outstanding in stature, but he has an outstanding long-range shot and pass, and he is also good at free kicks. However, because of his style and poor defensive ability, he was not very popular under Tavares, and it was only after Stroud came that he became the main force of London Bridge again.

Stord brought Aiken and Feeney closer together in the hope that the two would strengthen their relationship with each other and disintegrate Junpei Morikawa's sweep and interception in the midfield.

After the arrangement was almost complete, Stord gave a speech to the team players in English with a German accent:

"Okay guys. Forty-five minutes to go, remember it's our home ground, we're confident we can beat them here, that goal in the first half was just a blip. Don't let them mess you up Positioning. Played like the first half in the second half, put enough pressure on them to force their defense to make mistakes - although Leeds City's defense has strengthened now, it is not too strong... If they shrink If they pull out, then hit their back; If we don’t make mistakes, victory should belong to us!”

※※※

After the start of the second half, center Aiken retreated more and participated in the midfield. In this way, London Bridge formed a four-on-three numerical advantage in the midfield.

London Bridge therefore seized the upper hand and continued to launch an onslaught like Leeds City at the beginning of the second half.

Frequent threats to Leeds City's goal.

Both teams play 4-3-3 with exactly the same formation, but they play completely differently.

Leeds City's 433 emphasizes active offense. The three forwards, Hu Lai, are in the center and play center forward. The task is to rush forward to grab points. Kamara and Laski cooperate with him on the left and right to deliver shells for him.

This was the case for Leeds City's equalizer in the first half-precisely because London Bridge's central defender George Birx knew the importance of Hou Lai in Leeds City's attack, he desperately stuck to Hou Lai, resulting in a miss Lasky behind.

The 433 in London Bridge emphasizes control.

Although Aiken, who is in the middle of the three forwards, is a center forward, his main task is not to score goals, but to organize the ball and connect the frontcourt.

The retracement formed a numerical advantage in the midfield. At the same time, Park Chuntai and De Heli gathered from the side to the center, creating a murderous opportunity.

Stord's setup worked.

Not long after the start of the second half, London Bridge took advantage of the home court advantage and strong overall strength to once again take the lead!

This time it was Aiken who retreated and formed a two-on-one with Feeney, and Feeney passed the football to Aiken.

Morikawa Junpei finally lost sight of one another and was left behind by Aiken.

However, after attracting the attention of Leeds City's central defenders, Aiken did not continue to dribble forward, but sent a through kick.

The ball passed between the two Leeds centre-backs, Ben Grist and Teddy Bradford, while Park Sun-tae burst into the box from the right rib, hitting Leeds left-back Farek Quinn was caught off guard!

When Pu Chuntai received the ball, he was already behind Leeds City's defense!

One-handed!

Facing the attacking goalkeeper Van Deven, Pu Chuntai calmly pushed the shot from a close angle!

"Pu Chuntai——!!" The Korean TV commentator roared impatiently, followed by a long hiss, "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Pu Chuntai Smecta!! He finally broke the deadlock first in this Asian showdown against Simi Da!! He helped London Bridge take the lead again Smecta!"

Although Pu Chuntai said in an interview with Korean media that he doesn't care about the title of "Asia's No. 1 person", not all Koreans have that kind of ideological awareness. Many people still hope that Pu Chuntai can overwhelm Hu Lai in the game and perform better.

So now that Park Chun-tae finally scored a goal, the South Korean commentator was very excited.

The same thing happened to the Chinese. Even if Hu Lai expressed the same attitude, the masses would not be able to stop the people from wanting to compare him with Pu Chuntai.

So Pu Chuntai's goal disappointed the Chinese fans...

Shen Lang let out a long sigh: "Be careful...be careful! Hey! Hey——!"

When Aiken suddenly sent a through ball, he screamed, but obviously his screams in distant China could not really remind the Leeds City players on the field.

So he could only watch helplessly as the football penetrated Leeds City's defense, giving Park Chun-tae an excellent single-handed chance.

The helpless Shen Lang could only complain like this:

"...Should I say it or not, the defensive level of Leeds City is really not on the same level as their offensive level... The two central defenders, Grist and Bradford, just stood there watching the ball. It's as if Aiken didn't expect Aiken to pass the football from among them to behind... Now it's alright, Park Chun-tae scored a goal... Dude, I can already imagine how happy the fans in our neighboring countries are now... "
