Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 208 Double-Edged Sword

"Damn it!"

"Oh shit!"

"Damn it!"

Most of the Leeds City fans were in the stands behind the Leeds City goal in the first half, so they witnessed the whole process of Becker's free kick goal up close.

When they saw the football flying into the goal, many fans couldn't help exhaling.

Sporadic people are complaining that Junpei Morikawa should not have given the Sevilla navigator that free kick.

But many more put their heads in their hands and fell into painful silence.

After Leeds took the lead at the beginning of the game, they sang non-stop, cheering for the team and expressing their inner joy.

As a result, the joyful mood only lasted fifteen minutes.

Leeds City's lead was gone.

After the goal, Becker was celebrating the goal with his teammates, and the singing and cheers of the Sevilla Navigator fans sounded from the opposite stand.

This is football, some people are happy, some people are sad.

※※ ※

Looking at the Sevilla Voyager players who were celebrating, Junpei Morikawa showed a painful expression, and he slowly lowered his head, like a child who has done something wrong and is at a loss.

Until someone gave him a slap, a heavy slap on his back.

He looked back.

It was Captain Pete Williams.

"Don't take it to heart, this ball is not your responsibility." Williams told him in English.

In fact, there is some responsibility to some extent, but Williams, as the current captain on the field, of course cannot say that.

"Clean up your mood and get back into the game."

He patted Morikawa Junpei on the shoulder again.

Junpei Morikawa nodded vigorously, and said in Japanese English: "I will, captain, please rest assured!"

Pete smiled at him.

Then he turned around and shouted to the other teammates: "We were just tied! Come on!"

The England coach Jason Riley in the box saw this scene,

Nodding with satisfaction: "Compared to last year, Williams is more mature...I think even if Harry quits the national team, we will have an excellent successor..."

Brent said to his assistant coach Reno on the sidelines: "That's right! It should be played like this!"

Renault asked him: "Are we going to slow down now?"

Brent shook his head: "How is it possible? Of course we must continue to put pressure on them at this time, and we must not let them slow down!"

Renault nodded, walked to the sidelines, and gestured to the Sevilla Voyager players who had finished celebrating on the field, telling them to keep playing like this, keep attacking, and don't let the pace of the game slow down.

On the field, the team captain Becker also took the opportunity to run back with his teammates and said to them: "Keep this rhythm and feeling, let us continue to put pressure on them! Let them know whose territory this is!"

He pointed hard at his feet.

This is the World Cup stadium in Paris, which is actually the home of Paris-Egerres.

But now, as the final venue of the "Seville Navigator Cup", there is nothing wrong with saying that this is the site of the Seville Navigator...

Forward El Gurez also encouraged everyone: "Hu touched the trophy before the game, good luck is on our side!"

※※ ※

Many Chinese fans sighed in front of the TV.

Xie Lan also frowned again.

After all, I still don't feel at ease, and there is some panic.

Ever since I saw my son touching the trophy, I always feel that anything that happens on the field that is not conducive to Leeds City seems to be a hint of some mysterious power...

Just like this ball, this is the first free kick of the game for the Sevilla Navigators...

How did you score the first free kick?

In Chu Yifan's rented house, Yan Yan said calmly: "Don't worry about it. With Leeds City's defensive level, if they don't concede a goal against Sevilla Navigator, then it's hell! So conceding a goal is It's normal, anyway, Leeds City will definitely win in the end!"

Everyone didn't speak, they all looked at the TV screen.

Is it really like what the "leader" Yan Yan said, just wait and see.

※※ ※

After the game restarted, the Sevilla Navigators, who equalized the score, had high morale and continued to maintain the rhythm before the goal. Continue to attack Leeds City goal.

After Leeds City lost the ball, they were not completely overwhelmed by the opponent's offensive.

They are still fighting back tenaciously.

"This is the characteristic of the Leeds City team..." Shen Lang introduced to everyone. "This team always gives priority to attacking, as if they don't know how to defend. Most people think that doing so will lead to them conceding more goals... But in fact, Leeds City can always rely on such This method wins the game. From last season's Premier League champions to this season's Europa League, they all rely on offense to fight all the way to the end. So if Leeds City is beaten by the Voyagers and the whole team shrinks back and defends, that's right. It is more dangerous for them, it is better to press out and attack."

Shi Wuyin nodded in agreement: "That's right. Know what you are good at, and then give full play to your advantages, and finally reach the peak in this one, which is enough to cover up other problems. Leeds City's thinking is very smart. They also succeeded because of it…”

But then he changed the subject again: "However, there are problems with this, that is, you have to bear huge risks. It is easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity to score. This is to transfer the pressure of defense into offensive pressure. Once the ball is lost , offense requires more effort to get back... so it's a double-edged sword."

Shen Lang laughed and said: "Otherwise, why do Leeds City fans say that watching Leeds City games is not heart-friendly, but neutral fans like to watch Leeds City games? Because it is really exciting, and their games will never be boring."

"That's the reason. Whether it's good or not depends on whose standpoint you stand on."

"Leeds counterattacked, Adams went straight to Kamara with a long ball! Kamara's beautiful stop...he dribbled the ball in... shot! Oops, just wide!"

"Jensen came up the wing and got a pass from Becker...he tried to break through but couldn't. Leeds City right-back Lawler blocked the inside and didn't let him get into the box easily...Becker came up Catch him...Becker cuts in laterally...he gets past Junpei Morikawa! Shot before Adams! High!"

"Williams got the ball from outside the box... straight from long range! Dulic saves it! But Leeds' attack is not over yet... Huh! Wow! Arthur tackles in time! No way for Hu to get a follow-up shot Chance!"

"Hel Gurez header - van der Ven! He made a crucial save!"

...

In the commentary booth, commentators from all over the world yelled, and the constant exclamation showed how fierce the game was.

Everyone says that "the final has no name since ancient times". This is because the teams that reach the final will inevitably suffer from gains and losses, so seeking stability has become their common choice.

Conservative tactics prevail in various finals.

Such a game is naturally not good-looking.

In the previous finals, there may not have been a single goal, and in the end it had to rely on penalty shootouts to decide the winner.

However, such unspoken rules do not exist in this Europa League final.

Because one of the participating teams is Leeds City, which plays cards unreasonably.

Hu Lai's ball speeded up the game and set the tone.

So far, neither team has any intention of slowing down.

You come and I go, the fight is very lively.

It's not that they like this, but when the overall rhythm is accelerated, no one dares to let go of the tone they mentioned, for fear that they will not be able to keep up if they slow down, and they will be thrown out of the car.

In this mutual speed-up confrontation, the Seville Navigator's offensive is more threatening, after all, their overall strength is stronger.

At the same time, the rich experience in the finals also played a key role.

When the first half was about to end in two minutes, the attention of the Leeds City players declined, and they might have begun to think about the second half.

This slack was keenly noticed by the Sevilla Navigators, and their captain Becker immediately acted upon seeing this-he suddenly retreated and cut off the ball from Pete Williams, and then quickly passed the football to the midfielder Monte. Ro.

Montero directly passed the football diagonally to the left. The left back Jermaine Laclampe advanced at high speed. When the football was about to fly out of the sideline, he jumped high and headed the football back to the field.

It was the team's left midfielder Josepe Jensen who responded to him.

After Laclanpe saved the ball, he didn't slack off. When Leeds City's defensive players were not paying attention to him, he accelerated from outside the pitch.

After receiving the ball, Jensen saw Laclampe's advance and quickly passed the football.

"Jensen's through! Dangerous!"

Seeing this scene, Shen Lang exclaimed in the commentary booth.

When Laclanpe received the ball, he pushed the football forward again, and he increased his speed to forcefully overtake Leeds City's right back Josh Lawler.

Lawler took the challenge passively and turned around hastily, half a body away from Laclanpe.

He could only follow and chase... but it was obvious that he couldn't catch up.

After Laclanpe broke through Leeds City's side defense, he looked up and observed the penalty area.

Leeds City's defenders are still in a complete formation, and if they pass directly, they may not have good results.

So he dribbled the ball further forward, closer to the baseline, and at the same time pushed Leeds City's back line further back.

Then he sent an inverted triangle pass and passed the ball near the penalty area line!

Becker rushed up!

"careful!"

"Junpei Morikawa!"

Amidst the roar of the Japanese commentator, Junpei Morikawa saw Becker swung his right leg to make a shot, and hurriedly shoveled it, intending to block the shot with his body.

But Becker, with his bow fully drawn, came to a sudden stop at the most critical moment!

The right foot he kicked out was not a shot, but crossed his ankle and pushed the football diagonally to the right.

There is an opening there, and Dani, another striker of the Sevilla Navigators, is here!

And unmarked!

Seeing the football pass, he adjusted his steps, did not stop the ball, and shot directly!

Although Leeds goalkeeper van der Ven rushed back quickly and actually touched the ball, the football was only pounced by him, and it rushed into the net from the near corner...

"Ah! Not good! Leeds City conceded another goal near the end of the first half!"

The Japanese commentator wailed.
