Fox in the Penalty Area

Chapter 33: Precious courage

Although Hulai's goal allowed Leeds City fans to see the hope of drawing Tramed on the away game and even winning the opponent.

But such things did not really happen.

Tramed won a penalty in the 89th minute of the game.

The VAR video assistant referee determined that Leeds city defender Luke Davis made a push when defending, and reminded the referee.

After watching the video replay, the referee also awarded a penalty kick.

This penalty made Leeds players very upset, but it didn't change anything.

In the end, Tramed's captain Connor Kirk made a penalty shot and rewritten the score to 3:2.

Take advantage of a goal to win Zizcheng at home.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the continued cheers of the Red Roof Stadium suddenly increased.

"...The hearts of Tramed fans can finally fall back to their stomachs." Matthew Cox said, "It's just that they didn't expect that it would be so difficult to win at home... Leeds City players The performance is very tenacious, and their fighting spirit deserves to be respected! Even though they are defeated!

In the broadcast screen, the Leeds City players did not feel "a glorious defeat".

Farek Quinn tried to communicate with the referee after the final whistle. He believed that his teammate Davis’s push was not a foul, and at least the force of the push would not be so great that Bonnet could do it. Falling to the ground like that and rolling a few laps...

The referee didn't want to listen to his complaints, smiling and treating Quinn as air. Captain Lorenzo hurried up and pulled Quinn away, for fear that this straight-tempered person would insult the referee on impulse, and the opponent would not be as simple as treating him as air with a smile...

The other Leeds City players also looked very disappointed and frustrated.

They tried their best in this game. After equalizing the score, they played proactively and played a five-to-five open against Tramed at home.

In the end, he lost.

This makes many people suffer and feels unfair.

Hu Lai, who scored a goal in the game, also had his hands on his hips and looked up at the sky. After playing for ninety minutes, he was helpless with such a result.

"It's okay, Hu Lai. Your performance is good enough. You didn't win this time. Maybe you can do it next time?" He Feng comforted after seeing this.

"Yes, there is luck in losing the game. It cannot be said that Leeds City's performance today is not as good as Tramed." Yan Kang echoed from the side. "There is a big gap between the strengths of the two sides, and it is reasonable to lose. The performance of this team still gives us hope. He Feng, I now think that Leeds can really succeed in relegation..."

Although in the game, Tony Clark kept the players on the offensive and confronted Tramed, a posture of "never accept defeat". But after he really lost the game, he was the first person to calm down.

He even turned around and walked towards Tramed's coach Kevin Locke after the final whistle sounded.

"You played well and were brave." Locke praised after holding Clark's hand.

"Thank you. Congratulations on your victory." Clark maintained enough demeanor and did not entangle the opponent with the final penalty.

Then he turned around and walked into the player tunnel, first back to the locker room.

After waiting for a while, the players from Leeds returned to the locker room one after another.

Clark can still hear them talking about penalty kicks outside.

"Bonet must have flopped, he fell too exaggerated!"

"I don't know what's the use of VAR referees. If you don't do the correct judgment, it will add chaos! I feel that the existence of VAR has ruined football!

"At the very least we can draw Tramed on the road and take away one point... Damn it!"

When these Leeds City players came in yelling, they saw Clark, suddenly closed their mouths, bowed their heads and returned to their seats.

Then more Leeds City players returned to the locker room, their heads down, looking very depressed.

When the last players all returned to the locker room, assistant coach Sam Randy closed the door, and the noise outside was completely isolated.

Looking at the silent players with their heads down, Tony Clark spoke:

"Some people may regret that we didn't get a tie, but honestly I didn't. On the contrary, I am now in a happy mood, not regret or anger. Believe it or not." The face raised up and looked at him. Looking at him, Tony Clark spread his hands and shrugged.

"The important thing is not one point or three points. What is important is our performance against a team that is stronger than us. When we played in the'Red House', we did not back down. Every one of you We have tried our best to show our courage. I believe that having such courage is the most valuable on the road to relegation. I am not comforting you, but telling the truth-when we meet in the future For those strong opponents, think about your performance against Tramed at the Red Top Stadium, and you will know that no opponent can scare us. We can play our football without being scared by the opponent. At a loss."

Clark watched everyone gradually straighten up in his speech and raised their heads.

He smiled and said: "This is all I want to say to everyone. Next, I pack my things and prepare to leave. And I'm going to the post-match press conference. I will praise your performance again on that, and I will let Everyone knows that I am very satisfied with your performance."

After he said he turned and left, leaving Assistant Coach Sam slapped and shouted: "Go ahead, boys! Take a shower and change clothes, ready to go home!"

※※※

"...At the post-match press conference, Tony Clark refused to talk about the penalty kick at the last minute. On the contrary, he praised the performance of his players in the game, saying that although he failed to draw with Tramed, But he saw the courage of the players from this game. He was proud and proud of his team's performance..."

Watching the news being broadcast on the TV, Yong Jun said to Hu Lai, who had just returned home from the away game, "Hu Lai, your coach is very good."

"Well, the boss is really good. I heard that when he first came, everyone didn't convince him, but now he is quite convinced."

"How does it feel to score in the'Red House'?" Yong Jun asked again.

Hu Lai thought for a while: "It was really cool to pour cold water on them when they were the most powerful. But unfortunately they still didn't win. Looking at the way the Tramed fans cheered when they won the penalty, I just want them to fail to score this penalty, and then we take the opportunity to fight back and let me kill them. Wouldn’t it be cool..."

"It's okay, next time, next time. I also agree with Coach Clarke. With your current strength, it is not easy to push Tramed in such a rush on the road. As long as you can finally succeed in relegation, With a firm foothold in the Premier League, with his ability, Leeds City can definitely be reborn in the new season. Your choice to come to Leeds City is really the right step."

Hu Lai turned his head and grinned: "Matt told me that the boss is a very serious and responsible head coach, but he is not that old and stubborn. He is very good at listening to other people's opinions. Matt also said that I will definitely meet the boss. I like him. I really like this boss now, and he promised to invite me to'Red Pepper' for dinner when the season is over!"

"Your kid likes him because he invited you to dinner, right?"

"Uncle Yong, how can you say that? He doesn't invite me, and I like it too!" Hu Lai said righteously.

Yong Jun looked at Hu Lai and shook his head with a smile.

Then he talked about another matter: "In the next round of the league, I will go to the away game with you. After playing West Hertz, we will go directly to London and fly to the UAE instead of Leeds."

Hu Lai nodded after hearing this.

After the thirty-first round of the league, the Premier League was temporarily suspended. The next two games are national team games, and the top twelve matches will reignite.

As a member of the Chinese national team, of course he has to go back to participate in the game.

"It now appears that the Football Association's global coaching plan is about to fail..." Yong Jun sighed. So far the Football Association has not announced the results of their coaching selection.

"Isn't that good? Our best result in the World Series was achieved by coaching the Olympic team. Why can't we give Shi coaching a chance?" Hu Lai pouted.

"Foreign monks are good at reciting scriptures. Anyway, the Football Association is still looking for it, and it is not certain that Shi Wuyin will lead the team."

"At this time, I'm still looking for a fart... Even if I can find it, there are still a few top twelve games left. He is still a foreigner who has no knowledge of Chinese football. How can I get to know the team? Have time to adapt to him? Unless... Is it possible that the Football Association is looking for Lechman from the South China Tigers?" Hu Lai asked.

Yong Jun shook his head: "No, Lechman has clearly refused to coach the national team. Even if the South China Tigers is willing, he is not willing. Or do you think this change of head coach can take so long?"

Frederick Lechman, who has coached the South China Tigers for more than four years, is indeed the most famous and high-level foreign coach in China, and at the same time knows Chinese football best. He almost perfectly meets the requirements of the Football Association. After Wilson dismissed get out of class, the media and fans hoped that Lechman could take over the national team. Shi Wuyin is really treated as a transitional candidate, thinking that he is temporarily occupying the pit of the handsome position and will soon be handed over to Lechman.

The attitude of the South China Tigers Club has always been ambiguous, feeling that if the Football Association really wants it, they will not refuse.

But Lechman soon publicly stated that he came to work in China and had no intention of coaching the national team. He enjoyed his work at the South China Tigers and he just wanted to lead the club team. Due to personal physical reasons, lack of energy, unable to take care of the coaching work of the national team, so will not leave the South China Tigers Club.

Since they are unwilling, the Football Association cannot force it.

Then began the "Global Selection" campaign, which sounded domineering but was actually a big pie for Chinese fans.

Choose to choose, until now, the second half of the top twelve is about to start, and the head coach has not been decided yet...no, or there is no sign at all.

Those famous and competent foreigners can't come to China to take risks. That's right, the Chinese Football Association can pay high salaries, but people really don't look down on the Chinese team, and they are not happy to let them get high salaries.

As for the local head coach, on the one hand, the Football Association can't look down on it. On the other hand, they themselves feel that the current situation of the national team is a hot potato, and no one wants to get caught. After all, if you bring the national team to the top of the twelve, and get **** by the fans, it may affect them to coach in the club in the future...

So now, Shi Wuyin has made it clear that he is willing to continue coaching the Chinese team to the top twelve.

"I think that the coaching is a coach who is really good for Chinese football and really considers the Chinese team. At this point, everyone knows that if the Chinese team can't participate in the World Cup, then who is the head coach and who will take the blame? , A lot of infamy." Hu Lai pouted. "Guiding Shi is very enthusiastic, and I want to take the initiative to carry this pot. I also support coach Shi to continue coaching the national team."

Yong Jun sighed: "How can you say it so easily? The next two games against the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia ~ www.ltnovel.com~ If the results still don't improve, it doesn't matter how enthusiastic he is. Class is over when it's time."

Hu Lai also knew that Uncle Yong was right. In the world of competitive sports, performance is the root of everything. It's useless to say anything if the grades are not good.

Given the current situation of the Chinese team in this group, if there is another mistake in these two games, it is really unlikely that even the third place in the group will happen. There is no need to wait for the end of the top twelve, the Chinese team can start preparing for the 2030 World Cup.

The UAE is not strong, and it has yet to win a match in the top twelve. Although the Chinese team is away, it may not be impossible to fight if it is one-sided.

But what about Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia is now ranked third in the group. If the Chinese team loses to Saudi Arabia again, it is equal to losing to a direct competitor, allowing Saudi Arabia to score six points in a game. Saudi Arabia must also know this, so they will definitely do their best to fight the Chinese team.

Hu Lai just thought about it, and felt a headache. I'm afraid it will be even more headache to give guidance...
