Fox in the Penalty Area

Latest website: "You guys did a good job in the first half. Although you conceded a goal, it's no big deal...Big Ben, don't take conceding a goal to heart!"

Not long after Laski's goal, the first half was over.

After entering the dressing room, Tony Clark comforted the team's central defender Ben Grist.

Because it was his poor performance in the first half that gave London Bridge the chance to score.

"No one will not make mistakes, anyone can make mistakes. The important thing is not the mistakes that have been made, but what to do next. Do you want to be suppressed by that De Heli in the second half?"

Grist shook his head, but then showed a embarrassed look: "I don't want it, but the boss..."

After Lasky scored a goal, he also ran to the frontcourt to hug and celebrate with his teammates.

It seems that he wants to use this method to vent all the pressure accumulated in his heart.

But he is also very clear that as long as he still has that yellow card on him, the pressure cannot be truly released.

Wait until the second half, because of this yellow card and his own characteristics, he will still be the focus of London Bridge's attack.

"It's okay, Big Ben. You can play normally in the second half." After Clark comforted him again, he turned his head to look at Junpei Morikawa, and said to him in English:

"Morikawa, in the second half, when De Heli went to find Big Ben to make trouble, you have to go over and help, use your flexibility and anticipation to stop him!"

Morikawa Junpei didn't speak when he heard the words, but he nodded to show that he knew.

"Next, Jay."

Jay Adams puffed out his chest.

"When Morikawa goes to help Daben, you have to take on more tasks and be responsible for the defense in the middle. In addition, Pete, you have to come back to help..."

Williams also nodded: "No problem, boss."

After making adjustments to the defense, Clark turned to Hou Lai: "Dominic has been in very good form recently, but you have been closely marked by the opponent in the game. London Bridge has a tighter defense against you, which means that they have a better defense against Dominic. The defense is not so strict.

So you need to sacrifice yourself a little bit in the game to create opportunities for Dominic. Like in the first half when you conceded the ball, can you do it, huh? "

Hu Lai nodded quickly: "Yes, boss, I can! Don't talk about missing the ball, let me pass the ball directly to Dominic for an assist, I can do it!"

The other team members also echoed: "Don't worry, boss, we will pass the ball to Dominic more!"

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Clark pretended not to know why they were acting like this, and pretended not to see the winks at Dominic Laski from the rest of the locker room...

He just said with satisfaction: "That's good. We have the advantage in the total score, but we are only leading by one goal, which is not safe. So in the second half, if there is a chance, we still have to try to score more goals!"

※※※

On the way back from the locker room to the pitch after the half-time break, Ben Grist walked with his good friend Jay Adams, hesitating a few times.

Adams noticed this detail and asked, "If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly, Big Ben."

Only then did Grist say: "I feel very embarrassed that I have increased the burden on you, Morikawa, and Pete..."

Adams patted him on the back after hearing this: "What are you talking about? We are a team, Big Ben. When I am not in my defensive position, don't you often come forward to help me fill the position? You Do you think that is a burden?"

Grist shook his head quickly: "No, that's what I should do, Jay..."

"So, this is what we should do, Big Ben! As a team, we have a clear division of labor in order to win. But it doesn't mean that I can only be responsible for my part of the work. Don't think about those who have and don't, Focus on the game..."

Mohamed de Heli came out of the locker room and walked to the court, just in time to see Jay Adams walking out of the tunnel with his arms.

So he stared at the back, like a hunter watching his prey.

He remembered what his head coach Stoud said to him at halftime:

"...He already has a yellow card on his body now, and he continued to put pressure on him in the second half. Then he will either make a bigger move against you, get a second yellow card and be sent off. Or he will not dare to play and can only watch Come on, let you break through! So you have to dare to make moves, dare to break through, and don't be afraid of losing the ball..."

Recalling the coach's instructions, De Heli smiled.

He couldn't wait to get the second half started.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something, and turned his head to look back.

Just behind him, the Japanese midfielder from Leeds City was looking at him.

After seeing him turn back, she bowed slightly and bowed to him.

De Heli frowned, not understanding what the other party was doing.

※※※

Boosed at Flanders Stadium.

On the pitch, London Bridge launched an attack and De Hely was dribbling towards Ben Grist.

Leeds City fans all know how the ball was conceded in the first half, and they naturally know what De Heli is going to do.

They were booing De Hely and expressing their displeasure.

De Heli is not only sprinkling salt on the wounds of Leeds City, but also means that Leeds City's defense will once again be in a dangerous situation...

After all, Grist has a yellow card!

De Hely heard the boos, but instead of scaring or shrinking him, it excited him.

Because he knew that Leeds City was scared!

Those boos are the best proof!

Although he didn't look up, he believed that Ben Grist who was in front of him should also be scared.

He has a yellow card on him!

Thinking of this, De He used the outer instep of his right foot to push the football forward slightly, and approached Grist further.

Grist was indeed a little nervous. He took a step back and put a distance between Dehley and him.

But he can't go back indefinitely.

Because behind him is the restricted area of ​​Leeds City, and if he retreats again, it is tantamount to putting De Heli into the restricted area... Once he is allowed to enter the restricted area, he will really be afraid of making a move and dare not make any moves.

De Heli's right foot nudged the football again, Grist gritted his teeth and stretched his foot to try to steal the ball, but his kick speed was far behind De Heli!

He had just stretched out his foot, and De Heli's right foot, who should have not dialed the ball again so quickly, hit the ball again in front of him!

In this way, before Grist arrived, the ball was dialed out!

Grist kicked in the air!

De Heli was overjoyed—a breakthrough!

He was about to catch up and get the ball.

But he had just started, when a figure suddenly cut across from him... separated him from the football!

Because there was no room for speeding up, De Heli watched the football being intercepted by the opponent halfway!

"Morikawa!" Matthew Cox exclaimed excitedly.

The violent boos in the stands of the Flanders Stadium suddenly turned into cheers.

Junpei Morikawa, who rushed in, didn't slow down, just walked the football away, and at the same time, he didn't forget to quickly look back to observe the situation behind him.

He saw that De Heli did not catch up, but was in a daze.

After confirming it was safe, Junpei Morikawa crossed the football to the full-back Farrek Quinn on the wide side.

Quinn directly passed the football forward to Kamara who retreated to respond.

Seeing that the football was far away from the dangerous area, Junpei Morikawa turned his head to look at De Heli again. This time the other party was not in a daze, but was also looking at Junpei Morikawa.

The eyes of the two people collided in the air.

De Heli's eyes were clearly tinged with gunpowder, but Morikawa Junpei did not meet his gaze, but immediately turned his gaze away and ran back to his position.

"Junpei Morikawa made a key defense! If he hadn't arrived in time, Grist might have been passed by De Heli again!" Shen Lang said.

Just now when he saw De Heli dribbling the ball towards Grist, he was exclaiming "be careful".

Grist also gave Morikawa Junpei a thumbs up, praising his performance just now——Morikawa Junpei saved Grist just now.

But Junpei Morikawa didn't care about this, whether it was De Heli's glare or Grist's thumb...he just returned to his position and prepared for the next defense.

De Heli still stared at Junpei Morikawa, his eyes moved with his movement.

I didn't notice the Japanese at all just now, and he stole the ball... Deheli felt very humiliated.

Next time he's going to pass that big elephant with this little guy!

※※※

De Heli quickly got the opportunity he wanted.

When he faced Grist with the ball again, he didn't rush into the penalty area, but deliberately slowed down.

He was waiting for Junpei Morikawa.

The reason why it failed last time was because it was completely unexpected.

And this time he is prepared, I believe it is impossible to lose the ball...

Sure enough, Morikawa Junpei rushed over.

De Heli is still the main attack on Grist, first throwing off Grist, and then dealing with Morikawa Junpei.

Facing De Heli, who is more flexible at his feet, it is indeed difficult for Grist, who has a yellow card, to play 100% of his level.

But with the experience from last time, Grist can safely leave behind him to Junpei Morikawa.

So he acted decisively and quickly.

De Heli danced with his feet and pushed the football away, while twisting his body to dodge.

As soon as he avoided Grist, Junpei Morikawa posted it.

Waiting for this is it!

Shouting wildly in his heart, De Heli suddenly buckled the football back, and at the same time blocked the bucked football forward with his left foot.

The others are going to get between Grist and Junpei Morikawa!

Fried meatballs!

But just as he started, he was hit horizontally by Grist, which made him unable to increase his speed smoothly.

At the same time, Junpei Morikawa also seized this opportunity and directly shoveled it!

The football that knocked Dehly over was shoveled directly to the side and was intercepted by another central defender Teddy Bradford next to him.

Defense done!

After Junpei Morikawa scooped the football out, De Heli bumped up and fell in the penalty area.

The Moroccan genius raised his hands and signaled to the referee that the Leeds City player tackled him in the penalty area, which was a foul.

But the referee hooked him and signaled him to get up, and at the same time turned around and ran forward-Leeds City had already hit the football to the front.

De Heli beat his hands on the ground angrily, then turned to look at Junpei Morikawa who got up.

Morikawa Junpei also glanced at him, and found that when he was looking at himself, he quickly averted his eyes.

Don't dare to look at me at all...

De Heli couldn't understand why he fell under the feet of this timid Japanese twice in a row.
