Fox in the Penalty Area

David Miller, John Falkingham and Levin, the "White Rose" fan organization, stood on the north stand of the Flanders Stadium, staring at the field dumbfounded.

　　 It's not just them, in fact, the fans in the stands on all sides of the stadium also behaved like this.

　　 Only the Vijayston fans in the southwest corner of the stands pointed at the stadium, with a smile on their faces.

　　 Matthew Cox is a well-informed and experienced narrator, but he is facing this scene now, and he is also a bit poor.

He said in an uncertain tone: "The Leeds City vs. Wiggerston match is about to begin, and the players from both sides are already in place... Uh, it should be that the Wiggerston players are already in place. I don't know the Leeds City players. Do you think we are in place now..."

　　 In the TV broadcast, the players of Vijayston are all standing in their respective positions. The striker is at the forefront, but they did not enter the center circle because they were not kicking off. The midfielder was some distance behind the striker, and behind the four defenders lined up in a line. Finally the goalkeeper stood in the penalty area, but not in front of the goal, but went a little outside and walked to the large penalty area line.

　　 This is the standard player position before the kick-off of a game. Through this position, it is often possible to see at a glance what formation the team adopts.

　　 Unlike Wiggiston, the Leeds City players did not stand as a normal team, but all stood on the center line...not "all", but it's not much different.

　　 There are a total of eight Leeds City players concentrated on the center line near the center circle.

　　 In the middle circle stands the kick-off Hulay, and the left and right sides outside the middle circle occupy the other seven Leeds City players, of which there are as many as four on the left and three on the right.

　　 Behind the center line, in addition to goalkeeper Van Devin, there are only two players, one is central defender Teddy Bradford, and the other is midfielder Jay Adams.

　　 "What kind of formation is this...? 118?"

　　 "What crazy idea did Clark this ‘mad man’ come up with?"

　　 The reporters in the media booth issued this question after looking at each other, and some people had already lowered their heads to record on their mobile phones:

"... Tony Clark, the head coach of Leeds City, is called a "lunatic". In the game against Wiggerston, he once again broke through our expectations of him, showing an even crazier side: his The team focused on the midline before the game started. This scene not only stunned the reporters in the media booth, but also shocked the opponent Vijayston..."

　　 There is a close-up of Roger Biller, the head coach of Vijayston, who frowns and looks at the field with a puzzled and puzzled face.

　　 Obviously, the 66-year-old man can't understand the operation of the baby next door.

Then the TV broadcast screen cut to the front of the home team coaching bench. Standing on the sidelines waiting for the game to start, the home team coach Tony Clark was talking to his assistant coach, but because the two people covered their mouths when they talked. So everyone didn't know what they said.

　　※※※

　　 "Tony, sometimes I really wonder if you are Hu's distant relative..."

　　 "Why do you say that, Sam?"

　　 "Because Hu just said this casually, you actually let the whole team practice such a tactic. If you weren't related to him, why do you spoil him so much?" Randy covered his mouth with one hand and shrugged his shoulders.

　　 Clark covered his mouth and smiled: "You have already seen the specific effects of this tactic in training. It is indeed effective."

　　 From the results, Hu Lai’s whimsical kick-off tactics are really useful.

　　 Although everyone thought he was playing around when he proposed it at first, few people took it seriously.

　　 Only Tony Clark and Matt Dawn thought they could try as Hulai said.

　　 So the whole team actually cooperated with Hu Lai to realize the tactics he said casually on the training ground...

　　 "The question is not whether it is effective or not, the question is that you believe what he says, Tony..."

"Anyway, even if he is wrong, we don't have much to lose. This tactic is not complicated to train, even if it is used as an adjustment in training." Clark covered his mouth and shook his head, with a smile on his face. .

　　※※※

　　 "The game hasn't started yet, the players on both sides are already in place. But the situation here in Leeds is a bit different..."

　　 He Feng’s voice came from the speakers, but Wang Guangwei and Zhang Qinghuan sitting in front of the projection screen had a strong sense of sight.

　　 That is the scene of deja vu, as if I have seen it somewhere...

　　 "This kid Hu Lai..." Qin Lin shook his head and sighed beside him.

　　Zhang Qinghuan remembered, he slapped his thigh: "Isn't this the scene when we played the FA Cup with Poseidon when we were in the middle class? It's just that we were corner kicks at the time, and now Leeds is kicking off..."

　　 "'Goddess scattered flowers' kick-off?" Wang Guangwei also recalled.

　　 Zhang Qinghuan nodded: "I guess it must be Hu Lai's idea!"

　　Wang Guangwei covered his face and smiled: "At first, I thought he was just fooling around with Xingxing, because Director Zhao is his godfather. Now it seems that he also has a godfather in the UK..."

　　※※※

　　 After the initial astonishment, the Wiggiston players all stared mockingly at the Leeds City players in front.

　　 It seems that they are not playing against a professional team of players, but a group of clowns who usually play in the circus.

　　 What is this going to do? Get together and wait for the whistle to sound, then people climb up and stand up ladders?

　　 fools can see that Leeds wants to rush forward after the kick-off, and then take advantage of the chaos to win.

　　 Isn't it all empty behind them?

　　 As long as they can cut off their pass and directly counterattack, Leeds City will only have to kick-off twice in one minute...

　　 This kind of kick-off method is simply nonsense!

　　 Someone turned their eyes to Tony Clark on the sidelines.

　　 Someone on the Internet said that this man is a "crazy". Many Wigston players are still a little puzzled. Now they all agree that Clark is indeed a "crazy".

　　Because normal people can't think of such a stupid "tactic".

At this moment, Hu Lai, who was standing in the middle circle stepping on the football and preparing to kick-off, shouted at a group of Vijayston players who couldn't hide their smiles: "Guys, I advise you to drive for a while. Do not move the ball. Because you will be back here to kick-off soon, why waste your energy?"

　　 Hearing what Hu Lai said, after several Vigerston players looked at each other, they couldn't help but laugh.

　　 is like hearing a funny joke.

　　 When they look at Hu Lai, they are no longer watching a clown, but an idiot—don’t think we don’t know what your kid wants to do? Don’t you just want us to stand still and let you attack?

　　 But you thought that just saying a few words would make us stand still?

　　 How stupid this is!

　　 They just laughed, when they heard a clear whistle!

Game start!

　　※※※

　　 Hu Lai turned around and passed the football back as the whistle sounded.

　　 And when he passed the ball, the Leeds City player who was originally standing on the center line was like a 100-meter player who heard the starting gun, and rushed to the penalty area of ​​Wigerston!

　　 Hu Lai also quickly turned around to keep up after passing the ball.

Wiggerston’s forward John Joe brushed past him, rushing to the Leeds city defender Teddy Bradford who received the ball behind Hulay, who had just stepped on the football and let it go. Go aside.

　　 Jay Adams next to him stepped forward and kicked out the football that was stepped on by Bradford.

　　 a long pass!

　　 Almost as soon as the football flew out, John Joe flew in the air, stretched his feet to block, and didn't touch it!

　　 The football flew high and went straight to the left side of the field.

　　 There, Leeds City’s starter centre-back Ben Grist turned around, turned his back to the offensive direction, and jumped up!

　　 Grist is the tallest player on the field in Leeds, with a height of 1.95 meters and outstanding header ability.

The most important thing is that Leeds rushed in such a swarm, which disrupted Widgerston’s defense. They watched Grist jump up and head the ball, but there was no Widgerston player around to interfere. Contend for the top.

　　 Grist touched the ball easily and rubbed the football back.

　　 After rubbing the ball, Grist looked back and saw that in the direction of the football flight, Camara had rushed into the penalty area.

　　 He knew that he had completed the task assigned to him by the boss, and he laughed while he was still in the air.

　　 The first difficulty of this tactic is to allow the football to be accurately passed to Grist’s head and make full use of his height to head the ball.

　　 So the long pass is given to Adams, who has a good long pass ability.

　　 But if Grist can't smoothly put the football to his teammates, the tactic will fail.

　Griste certainly didn't want everyone's elaborate tactics to die because of him. Seeing that he did not live up to everyone's trust, this honest central defender exhaled in his heart.

　　 "Grist-back! Leeds scored the football into Wiggiston's penalty area! Ismail Camara ran in afterwards!"

　　 Accompanied by Cox's exclamation and the louder and louder cheers from the stands, Camara caught up with the football that bounced forward after landing.

　　 Vijayston’s centre-back Paul Godric quickly rushed forward, intending to block Camara.

　　 At the same time, goalkeeper Karen Nugent quickly moved to the near corner of the goal, lowered his center of gravity, opened his arms, and tried to block Camara's shooting angle.

　　 Camara, who caught up with the football, did not shoot, but used the outer instep of his right foot to pick the ball from the air directly to the center!

　　 Godric tried to jump up and head the ball to make a clearance, but he didn't have enough take-off height to touch the ball...In other words, he was headed!

"Eh? Opportunity--!" He Feng was excited when he saw this scene in the studio, because he also saw the Hu who was already in front of Godric who was just behind the jump. Lai!

　　 Hu Lai also took off. UU reading www.uukanshu.com faced the football that Godric had missed, and a lion shook his head!

　　 Behind him, another Vijayston central defender, Liam Feni, did not take off at all, but watched as Hu Lai, who was close at hand, completed the header. Perhaps he himself didn't expect this ball to actually hit the goal!

　　 Goalkeeper Nugent had no time to pounce back at this time. He could only turn around in embarrassment, watch the football fly into the goal he was guarding, and then sighed in annoyance.

　　 The entire Flemish stadium is boiling!

Cox roared in huge cheers: "What an incredible goal! Leeds City scored in just ten seconds! This is the fastest Premier League goal so far this season! Unbelievable! Leeds City The tactics like the mischief have actually achieved miraculous results! The Wiggiston players seem to be shocked by Leeds’s all-over attack. Almost everyone doesn’t know how to deal with it..."

Hu Lai, who scored a goal, did not go to the corner flag area to make his signature celebration this time, but flew to Camara who passed the ball to him and celebrated the goal with him.

　　 It's not just him, other Leeds City players also flocked to hug them.

　　 They don't have to run too far, because they have gone all the way to the front court after the kick-off, and they haven't gone back yet.

　　 Everyone worked together to turn Hu Lai’s whimsical idea into reality, and really used this joking tactic to score goals and take the lead!
