Chapter 141: Inevitable Disaster

Westlake, who was sitting in the midfield position in this game, once again received the opponent's "tacit understanding" long pass, this time, he did not pass the ball to Hughes in front of him as before, but ran forward with the ball after looking at the situation in front of the field, and the sudden forward insertion surprised the midfielder of Calisle United.

This attack is all about speed, and Westlake, who stopped, passed the ball to Hughes before Paul Murray got entangled, and after receiving a pass from a teammate, Hughes did not hesitate to move the ball to the right side, and in a matter of seconds, Carrot's speed allowed him to instantly surpass his opponent who was also chasing the ball.

After running to a position almost parallel to the line of the big penalty area, Carro, who was on the edge of the ball, ran directly and crossed at 45 degrees, and the ball flew straight to the point in front of the goal.

Flo once again dominated the aerial battle, timing his opponent with his head high and the ball flying straight into the top right corner.

Flo's header was just five metres from the goal, and as the ball flew over the lethal distance as if it was about to fly into the next moment, a goalkeeper's glove suddenly appeared in the bottom right corner of the ball, and the ball snapped and was dragged high off the crossbar.

"Alas......" The Leeds United fans in the stands collectively let out a sigh, while the Carlisle United fans who occupied a corner stood up frantically, dancing and cheering for the goalkeeper's world-class save just now.

"Goa......" Just as the ball was saved, the commentator of the game also stopped his voice in time, and then shouted: "OH-MY-GOD!" Goalkeeper Westwood made a brilliant save to redeem himself! ”

Watching Westwood unbelievably lift the ball off the crossbar, Flo was still a little disappointed after landing, after all, his partners had already successfully won a point, and he should work harder as a senior.

Although a little disappointed, Flo quickly adjusted his mentality, even if this time he missed the goal, but Flo believes that there will be a chance in the second half, the only question is whether he can grasp it.

With goalkeeper Westwood's extraordinary performance before the end, Calisle United managed to hold on to a two-goal disadvantage, although it seemed a bit demoralizing to say so, but the Callisle United players really let go of their baggage when the referee blew the whistle at half-time. Even though they would have to pick it up again after fifteen minutes, it would be nice to have this precious break.

At half-time, the dressing room of Leeds United was sunny, and coach Wise affirmed the performance of the players, hoping that they could keep it until the end of the second half, and then briefly told the players a few precautions, and then did not say anything, leaving enough time for the players to rest and fart.

On the other hand, the manager of Calisle United is anxious right now, although he can understand the happiness of his players, but the fact that the team is behind easily, so after returning to the dressing room, he began to talk about various problems. The already exhausted players were not only physically exhausted but mentally tired after receiving the voice bombardment in their ears, and as for the manager's explanation, they could only smile bitterly.

Maybe this is the gap in the ability of the head coach, when dealing with various disadvantages, he can't choose the right method, and he still blindly continues the past, and he doesn't know how to change.

The break passed quickly and the players from both teams were back on the pitch and, as at half-time, the Leeds players were still at ease, while the Calisle side were still tired.

After the referee's opening whistle, the game resumed, and Calisle United originally wanted to rely on the opening breath to fight, but unfortunately after a short five-minute scramble, they still became the passive beaten side, and the situation was once again dominated by Leeds United.

In the 53rd minute, the hard-fought Carlisle United performed even more unbearable, Hughes made a one-two with Westlake to easily get rid of Murray, who came forward to block him, and then began to gradually approach the left side of the running route.

Hughes, who was dribbling the ball, saw his right front, and another midfielder of Carlisle United, David Nobel, had run towards him, and the running route approached the left again, and at the same time made a hidden gesture in his hand, Plutton, who was running on the left side and was ready to respond at any time, suddenly cut diagonally to the middle after seeing the gesture, and the two completed the switch in an instant.

Leeds United's sudden change of position suddenly caught the opponent off guard, and David Nobel was a little hesitant about what he should choose for a while, but it was the fatal hesitation of about three seconds, not only Pluton who ran without the ball easily erased Nobel, but even David LaVine, the right-back of Calisle United who was near the baseline, had to adjust his position.

Switching to the left, Hughes strode forward, by which time the recovered Nobel had turned and chased Plutton, and the direction of the movement of right-back LaVine also indicated that he wanted to cut off Plutton's receiving route.

The opportunity was fleeting, and with Pluton having his back to him, Hughes shouted at the same time as passing the ball, and the ball flew past the double tackles of LaVine and Nobel to Pluton one step ahead.

Plutton, who was already prepared, unloaded the ball with his left foot in the run, and then continued to move towards the penalty area at a steady pace. At this time, the midfield of Calisle United has been left behind, and only two of their own forward teammates and two central defenders of the opposing side are left in the big penalty area, and the original one-on-one situation is unbalanced the moment Pluton steps into the big penalty area.

As Pluton moved closer to the Carlisle goal, the pressure was also on goalkeeper Westwood and centre-back Kevin Gray, who was closer to Plutton, and Pluton deliberately moved to Gree's position on the run, clearly forcing the opposition to make a decision.

Gray knew that he couldn't wait for the opponent to shoot before making a decision, and he could only hope that Pluton was a lone player, and after trying to jam Flo's receiving route behind him, Gray began to move towards Plutton.

After Flo was freed, although he didn't know if his teammates would pass the ball, he still ran in front of the goal to answer, ready at any time. Plutton, who dribbled the ball, has always been a team player, and seeing that his goal has been achieved, he knocked the ball in front of the goal with his left foot without hesitation.

The ball flew all the way to Flo, facing the ****/naked empty goal, Flo stretched out the inside of his right foot towards the goal, and the ball accurately smashed on the instep of the inside and refracted into the goal.
