Fox in the Penalty Area

Hu Lai’s goal was like a Charger. Leeds, who led by one goal, boosted their morale and continued to attack Manchester Athletic’s goal.

The rain was heavy and the ground was muddy and slippery. Leeds adopted the simplest and rude style of play-a long pass from the center and back to find Hulay and Lorenzo in front, or a high pass from the two sides directly to Manchester. In front of the competition.

Using Lorenzo's ability to dominate the air with Hu Lai's excellent judgment on the second drop point, threatening Manchester Athletic's goal.

This style of play has nothing to say about any technical content, and it can even be regarded as one of the most hated styles of Manchester Athletic coach Gutierrez. After coming to Manchester Athletic to coach, the Spanish coach once said that he believed that To allow football to fly around in the air is a "blasphemy" to the sport of football. He also issued a soul question:

"If God wants us to pass the football back and forth in the air, then why doesn't he move the football field to the sky?"

Therefore, everyone knows how much Gutierrez hates this kind of football. The Manchester Athletic that he coached is also based on the delicate passing and control of the feet. When he first came to coach in the Premier League, he even banned his players from passing over thirty meters in the air.

Just to correct some of the team's "bad problems."

After his transformation, Manchester Athletic is a rare team in the Premier League with a very interesting play style. Even if today’s Premier League is not the “British rough” that was popular in the early years, Manchester Athletic is still a very special team in the Premier League. Some British reporters once ridiculed Gutierrez. The team should play La Liga, not the Premier League.

Of course, Gutierrez is not static and stubborn. After coming to the Premier League for four seasons, he and his team have gradually adapted to the Premier League, and there has been a fusion of styles-now he has not complained about the master for a long time. The referee was indifferent to his players being violated, and for a long time he has not criticized those who used his physical advantage to attack the Manchester Athletic defense line. He only occasionally complained about opponents who hardly come out with the bus.

His Manchester Athletic played softly at first. The English media commented on Manchester Athletic players only knowing that they complained to the referee on the pitch, they could complain about anything, it was like a very wronged kid. But doing so often does not allow them to be taken care of by the referee in the game, because the law enforcement habits and standards of the Premier League referees have been cultivated for many years, and they will not easily change for a team.

Now Manchester Athletic maintains the fineness of the feet and pays attention to passing control, and the style of the game is also tougher.

But overall, Gutierrez's Manchester Athletic is still a continental style team. When encountering the kind of unreasonable team that uses physical advantage, Manchester Sports will fall into a passive position.

It's just that if the opponent is too weaker than Manchester Athletic, Manchester Athletic can still use their strength advantages to win, of course, the scene will not be so good-looking.

But if you run into evenly matched opponents...

That's as it is now.

Gutierrez paced back and forth impatiently on the sidelines. The original straight suit was soaked by rain and wrinkled on his body. The whole person was like a "frozen chicken"... This Spanish coach who is very particular about image, this There is no image at this moment.

It stands to reason that Manchester Sports, which is one goal behind, should launch a counterattack, but now they are being beaten by Leeds City's simple and crude attacking tactics.

In fact, with the current points of Manchester Athletic, even if they lose this game, it will not affect their final qualification for the Champions League next season. After all, they have also locked in the Champions League ahead of time.

But as a qualified head coach, who would like to see his team lose?

That's why Gutierrez was so restless.

"This rain really helped us a lot!" The assistant coach Sam Randyll couldn't help laughing in front of the coach on the sidelines.

Clark was stern: "It's not the time to say this, Sam. The game is not over yet, and we are only ahead by one goal!"

Randyll reacted: Don’t look at Leeds dominating the scene, but the current score is indeed the most insecure score for Clark. It would be strange if he could feel safe...

So he nodded quickly: "Yes, you are right, Tony."

The assistant coach walked to the frowning Gutierrez and asked, "Should I change Kabangka?"

Gutierrez looked back at the bench and saw the Brazilian genius sitting in the chair with a solemn expression.

He shook his head: "Kabangka has just recovered from his injury. Today's field conditions and weather are not suitable for his characteristics. There is no need to take this risk. Besides, there will be a World Cup after the end of the season, so he must be considered."

One of the most important reasons for Manchester Athletic's performance this season is the absolute main force. The core player Kendall Kabangka suffered a serious injury at the end of November and rested for more than three months. It was only recently that he returned.

After his comeback, he has never played a starter on the team.

Although Gutierrez put Kabangka on the squad in this game, he didn't let him start, so it is safe to do so.

Kabangka's injury has a great impact on Manchester Athletic, because the skilled Kabangka is the core of the team's midfield. He can pass energy, can shoot sharply, and can be described as omnipotent in the midfield.

After the midfielder's engine was injured, Manchester Athletic's offensive quality was greatly reduced.

The team's performance has also begun to decline.

At the beginning of the season, he was able to break his wrists with the Stan Park Rangers, and later became inextricably capable of playing against Leeds.

As a result, the difference between Manchester Sport and Leeds City is now 12 points, and the taillights are almost invisible.

If it were not for Kabangka's injury, Leeds wanted to easily occupy the second place in the league.

So this season for Leeds, if they want to win, it is really a golden opportunity.

Except for the stable performance of Stan Park in BIG6, the other teams' performances this season are very bad, and there was no way to threaten Leeds from the beginning. Now London Bridge and the North London Wanderers are fighting badly, and they are only vying for a Europa League qualification.

The Warship Harbor dropped to ninth place.

Stan Park, which has always been stable, seems to have been in bad luck since being defeated by Leeds at home. The main generals were injured one after another, and the team's performance was ups and downs. This gave Leeds a chance to catch up.

In fact, it is not Manchester Athletic that should feel reconciled most now, but Stan Park Rangers. Because if it hadn’t been for the sudden emergence of Leeds, the other BIG6’s performances this season would have no suspense when they defended the league title...

As a result, now because of the sudden emergence of Leeds, the two consecutive championship dreams of the Stan Park Rangers may be shattered.

In their defending season, they met the most lax BIG6, but they also met the best Leeds...

Gutierrez did not replace Kabonka in the end, but replaced Ramon Cantero with Belgian striker Reggie Lacrosse.

Cantero was replaced with mud all over, looking very frustrated.

Back on the bench, he smashed the mineral water bottle to the ground.

This is the second time he has lost to Hu Lai!

No... the third time!

Damn it! why? I just want to avenge my grievances at the Olympics... Why do I always keep the old grudges unreported and add new grudges! ?

Cantero sat on the bench, covering his face with his hands.

Meli, who was watching the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV, saw this scene, and felt sad.

Although the game was not over yet, Melly suddenly lost his interest in continuing to watch.

He just wanted to see Manchester Athletic blocking Leeds City. Now Leeds City is about to win, and his friend Cantero has also been replaced. So what else does he need to watch?

Although Hu Lai made a penalty kick that even stopped the ball, he really surprised him, and he couldn't help his eyes widening, with a sense of eye-opening... But this was the only highlight of the game.

Thinking of this, May used the remote control to turn off the TV, got up and left the living room.

At the same time, he picked up the phone and felt that he should leave a message to comfort his friend.

Ramon can't see it yet. After the game is over, he should be able to see his message.

I hope my encouragement and comfort can make Ramon feel better...

In the last ten minutes of the game, Manchester Athletic also struggled.

But the match was frustrating and the people were not on their side, until the final whistle, they also failed to score.

One goal lead, which made Clark feel very insecure, turned into an insurmountable moat in this game.

"The game is over! Leeds beat Manchester Athletic 1-0 at home and scored a valuable three-pointer! Now they kick the football to the Stan Park Rangers, and it's the Rangers' turn to handle the ball!"

In the heavy rain and cheers at the Flanders Stadium, the Manchester Athletic players dejectedly left quickly and returned to the locker room. They dry the rain and sweat on their bodies with towels, take a hot bath, and then put on dry clothes.

Cantero didn't do this, he picked up the phone for the first time.

After unlocking the phone, I saw Melly's comforting message:

"It's okay, Ramon. There are too many objective factors for the failure of this game, you don't have to blame yourself for it. Remember, the next game is always the most important thing!"

Seeing these words, Cantero's eyes became hot.

He felt guilty and frustrated for not fulfilling his pre-match promise to Melly. But after seeing Melly’s message at the same time, a warm current surged in my heart:

Melly is such a good person! Obviously the world's strongest genius ~www.novelmt.com~ but so understanding, so gentle...

Cantero pressed his lips tightly, trying to control his emotions.

He took a deep breath and gradually calmed down, and then... he suddenly noticed that the time of Melly's message was twenty minutes ago...

Twenty minutes ago?

Cantero found it strange that the game was not over twenty minutes ago!

This... So Meli had preliminarily determined that we would lose before the game was over?

Cantero stared at the time the message was sent on the phone for a long time.

Finally he put down the phone and slowly leaned against the wall.
