Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 46 Tactics arranged by Dave?
Although for the players of the two teams, the verbal battle before the game is as boring as two shrews scolding the street, but this kind of scolding can indeed inspire the players' confidence in the game and irritate the opponent. , It also allows them to vent their emotions and pay more attention to the game.

A few hours before the game, Wang Li was like a paladin of the Holy See. On the territory of the Young Guards, he uttered the "declaration of victory" very disrespectfully to the host, which angered almost all Leeds fans and the media. But in their view, this was just the bragging of this clown-like oriental, and it did not arouse their strong rebuttal.

'After the game, our players will give the little guy a taste and tell him that the Premier League is not the place for a wretch who just shows off his feet! ' They all thought so.

Even so, all the Leeds fans have cursed Wang Li countless times in their hearts, while the Wolverhampton fans are rejoicing and cheering for their 'dancing master', although they only have more than 2000 just people...

……

There were a few figures in the player tunnel one after another, and the closer the match started, the louder the shouts at Elland Road Stadium became.

"Reid formed a standard 442 formation, full backs Kelly, Gil Gallon, center backs Dubelle and Hart, midfielders Mateo, McPhail, and our... Alan Smith!!! Jay Mayne Pennant!!! Our superstars Viduka and Barker are on the forward line. It seems that Coach Reed is bound to win this game. All the stars are almost out. Let's mourn for Wolverhampton... "

As the on-site commentator Williams burst out the names of the players of the team, Elland Road Stadium remembered the cheers again and again.

Viduka, Alan Smith and teenager Jermaine Pennant are the three stars of Leeds United!

"Eh? Coach Dave Jones' arrangement of players is very strange, Ruzny, Butler, Nairol, Cameron, Kennedy, Newton, Kamara, Miller, Iverson and... Arrogant Allen, this formation, three defenders, four midfielders, and three forwards including Allen, could it be that Dave suddenly became a warrior and wanted to fight against our great youth army? Unbelievable."

The fans in the auditorium booed unanimously after hearing Wang Li’s name announced by the commentator. Although the Wolverhampton fans tried their best to cheer and cheer, their number was too small...

……

Amid the deafening cheers, the players took their positions, Leeds United won the kick-off, and the ball rolled back and forth at Viduka's feet.

Standing behind Miller, Wang Li looked a little excited at the excited fans in the auditorium, saying, "I will use my legs to prove what I said!" 'He said silently and firmly in his heart.

The referee Deurso looked at his watch, put the whistle in his mouth, and blew the whistle to start the game.

After the game started, the Leeds United players pressed towards Wolverhampton's half.

Their nickname 'Young Guards' is by no means just talking. The players of Leeds United are generally relatively young. If the game goes well, they can score several goals in a row. If they encounter obstacles, sometimes they are not as good as a team. Championship team.

Reed's coaching philosophy is in line with Leeds United's consistent style, mainly focusing on offense. He just wants these young people to give full play to their strengths and overwhelm opponents one after another to win the game. Before this season, the game, They also played well and are now No.9 in the league.

On the right side, McPhail got the ball. He took two steps forward and saw a Wolverhampton player intercepting in front of him. He passed it back to the young player Pennant who inserted in the back.

After getting the ball, Pennant did not pass the ball immediately, but looked left and right after securing the ball, looking for opportunities.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the veteran Iverson rushed forward to snatch it. Unfortunately, he is only a forward player, but his defensive level is really not that good. past him.

At this time, he was on the left line of the penalty area. This position is already very dangerous. Many players can shoot long shots here, so Naral and Kamara immediately ran over to defend.

Pennant did not panic, he directly passed the ball to the left.

Mateo, who was on the left sideline, stretched out his foot to catch the ball, but the ball stopped a little too big, and the ball rolled forward. Butler in front of him quickly ran towards the ball when he saw the opportunity, but it was still a little bit It was too late, and Mateo reacted and fell to the ground with a sliding tackle on the ball, and the ball happened to be delivered to the feet of Alan Smith in the middle.

Alan Smith didn't stop the ball, just rubbed his toes against the rolling ball, and the ball flew towards Viduka in the small penalty area of ​​Wolverhampton.

Viduka squeezed Ruzny who was close to the defense, waited for the ball to fall in front of him, put the ball with his left foot, and took a step forward. After the ball hit the ground, he came up with his right heel and hit the goal directly!
"Alan... jump up... Viduka, shoot!!!... Hey, the ball is hitting Wolverhampton goalkeeper Oakes, and Buck can't keep up with the ball. Oakes just let go, but still I was firmly caught by him..."

In just 2 minutes of the opening, Leeds United played a very threatening attack. From Matteo to Alan Smith, and then to Viduka, the three cooperated very tacitly, and a few passes directly penetrated the entire Wool Verhampton's defense, although it is also related to Dave's offensive formation today, but it more reflects the strength of Leeds United. They are now ranked ninth in the Premier League, and it is by no means due to luck.

Seeing the ball being held by Oakes, the Leeds United players immediately ran towards their own half.

Oaks threw the ball to Naral immediately before Leeds United returned to the defense.Nairol directly passed a big kick to Kennedy who had already run near the center line.

After Kennedy got the ball, he almost didn't think about it, and passed the ball to Wang Li, who was a little ahead.

Wang Li kicked his left foot a bit, and when the ball slowed down a little, he made a long pass, and the ball flew to Miller who had already run into the Leeds United penalty area.

At this time, there were two defensive players next to Miller. When he saw Wang Li pass the ball to him, he ran forward desperately. However, none of the Leeds United defensive players were stumps. They squeezed Miller desperately. Make him unbalanced, and after the ball falls, he is a little far away from Miller. When he is in a hurry, he falls to the ground and shoots a tackle!
It's a pity that the shot was too impatient, and there was no strength at all. The goalkeeper Robinson took two steps and picked up the ball directly from the ground.

Although the speed of this counterattack was so fast that the Leeds United players were completely helpless, but the last kick made people shake their heads secretly, but it was just the beginning, and the two teams could play such a fierce confrontation. The fans were hooked. Although they wanted to see Leeds United killing all sides, they could also satisfy their appetite by playing such beautiful offensive football. Of course, it would be even better if Leeds United could take the lead.

……

After Robinson kicked off the ball with a big kick, the ball moved back and forth near the center line. Players from both sides competed for each other in the middle. The scene was fierce and tense.

At this time, Cameron, who had grabbed the ball, suddenly stabbed the ball to the left. After Newton received the ball, he did not pass the ball back to the defender as usual, or passed it to Yi in front. Forsun, he rarely dribbled the ball forward by himself.

Seeing that Newton was about to dribble the ball, Hart immediately ran over to grab the ball from the right side of Leeds United.However, Newton failed to satisfy him. When Hart was about one meter away from Newton, Newton passed the ball to Wang Li, who was a few meters behind the right side of the Leeds United penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Wang Li smiled inwardly, but he walked forward with the ball.This made the players of Leeds United stunned. In such a position with dense defensive players, isn't he afraid of losing the ball?

Wang Li had no intention of continuing to pass the ball without doubt. At this time, he remembered the tactics that coach Dave had arranged before the game: "Alan, you are near the penalty area. Dribble to attract Leeds players and then..."
