Chapter 46: Reverie (1st Update)
Leeds United's surprise defeat, coupled with Wise's excuse not attending the press conference after the game, completely gave these journalists the opportunity to go crazy hype.
The next day, various large and small newspaper networks appeared detailed reports of the last game, for Leeds United, especially Constantine's performance, a large article was used to describe his "exploits", just for a moment, Constantine's name once again resounded in the lower leagues of England.
The Leeds Post's sports section was unrelenting in its commentary, arguing that Konstantin's strength would be more suitable for the second division than to stay at Leeds United. And under the headline, there is a picture of the combination of Konstantin and a condom - "No matter how you shoot, you just can't!" 》
As for Konstantin himself, he was able to train with the first team this time, and he was finally "relieved". On the day he returned to the training base, Wise announced the indefinite decentralization of the youth team and informed his agent that he was preparing for the winter transfer.
The West Yorkshire Post published a news: According to a Leeds United insider, the team's head coach Wise went to the church to pray the day after returning to Leeds, and after returning to the training base, he poured holy water into the reservoir of the training ground's water sprinkler system, causing the staff to sprinkle it everywhere. It's safe to say that in Wise's mind, Constantine is as dangerous and poisonous as the legendary vampire.
It has to be said that Konstantin is now on the rise like a legend. His prestige spread throughout the lower leagues, and the managers of other teams were completely respectful of him. And Wise's winter sale plan was doomed before it even began.
Although he lost the game, he finally let go of the burden in his heart, and Wise felt that he finally didn't have to worry about it anymore, but for the problem of the media slapping his face, Wise remembered it deeply, and he must fight back if he has the opportunity.
A day later, apart from most of the starters from the previous game, Wise continued to take on Northampton City away with the Leeds United main players who vowed to be disgraced.
Northampton City, as the midstream team of this season's League One, faced Leeds United, which hid all the main forces in the last game, the whole team of Northampton City was a little depressed. Being picked up cheaply, especially by the league's competitors, I believe that no matter who it is on, I will feel extremely depressed.
Although the opponent lost the last game, Northampton City, who recognize themselves, definitely does not want to become the background wall of the opponent's prestige, so Northampton City manager Cass Adams's tactical arrangement before the game is to put the whole team on the bus, as long as one point.
However, Leeds United will not be so polite, Wise, who was sprayed by the media for a day yesterday, is determined to win this game, and it must be a big score, otherwise how to slap the reporter in the face after the game, so Northampton City can only be a doomed tragedy.
In order to achieve maximum effect in this game, Wise has been the strongest Leeds United at this stage. goalkeeper Ankel Glenn; defenders Richardson, Tang Fei, Marquis, Parker; Midfielders Hughes, Da Costa, Sean, Howson and captain Thompson, while the lone forward is Beckford. Especially Da Costa, who has just been lifted, before the last game, Wise, who had decided to give up one game, directly hid Da Costa together, in order to raise his eyebrows for a while in this game; As for Hausen, relying on his excellent performance in the recent period, he finally beat other competitors to get the main position.
For this reason, Haosen was also going to invite Tang Fei to a meal to thank him for his previous guidance, but Tang Fei, who had already experienced it once, resolutely rejected Haosen's suggestion. Looking at Haosen's regretful expression after being rejected, Tang Fei really didn't know how shameless Haosen could be.
Haosen's so-called treat is that he went to Tang Fei's house to wait for Tang Fei to cook for him after buying his own vegetables, and Tang Fei, who had already been fooled once, resolutely resisted this kind of lazy behavior, especially Haosen's posture of wanting to move the entire supermarket away, which opened Tang Fei's eyes!
Time flew by, the game officially began, and remembering the advice of coach Wise before the game, Leeds United vowed to bloody their opponents in this game, so they launched a round of onslaught at the beginning.
In the 17th minute, Hausen, who stabilized his main position, was in a good state, after attracting two midfielders from Northampton City to chase and intercept, he suddenly picked up at his feet, and the ball flew through the entire back line in a flash of inspiration from Hausen, and in the face of such a good opportunity, Beckford, who played his strengths, took the ball and stabbed it alone, and faced the goalkeeper who was attacking with a light pick, and the ball crossed a parabola and fell into the goal.
1:0, Leeds United, which had just finished warming up, got off to a good start and caught Northampton City off guard.
In the 33rd minute, Hughes faced the left wing-back of Northampton City after a very tacit two-one-one cooperation with Richardson on the right side, and his heel suddenly knocked down, and the ball passed back to the feet of Richardson behind him.
In the face of the flying ball, Beckford knew that he was not Flo and could not have scored the ball under the interference of his opponent. However, Beckford, who tried his best, still jumped with all his strength, and Beckford, who wanted to make the ball to the front of the big penalty area, lost his balance in the scramble with his opponent, and the ball changed direction and flew to the left.
However, it was also a mistake, originally under the influence of Beckford, most of the people on both teams ran to the middle, and both sides were empty in an instant. At this time, in front of the left side of the penalty area, Thompson, who was unmarked, faced the ball with a volley, and the ball flew straight into the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball after being vigorously applied, and the goalkeeper of Northampton City had not even jumped, which showed how fast the ball was.
scored this domineering volley, the excited Thompson turned around and ran to the camera on the sidelines, loudly coaxing to vent the frustration of the last game, and the fans in the stands cheered loudly, shaking everything in their hands for the team's crazy "like", and the atmosphere on the court was pushed to a peak again.
After the start of the game, seeing that the remaining time was running out, Leeds United temporarily slowed down the intensity of their attack.
Ten minutes later, as the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the Northampton City players ran into the tunnel with their heads down, leaving behind the smiling Leeds United players, who raised their hands to signal the fans in the stands and walked off the pitch smiling and talking to each other.
Fifteen minutes of half-time passed quickly, and the two teams changed sides again. Back on the field, Cass Adams directly replaced an attacking midfielder and a striker, replaced two defensive players, and left only one striker in the frontcourt, making it clear that he wanted to defend to the end, only to lose two, as for the counterattack, it is estimated that he will not have much hope for himself.
However, Leeds United, who have already played a tailwind, are not so easy to resist. In the 57th minute, Hausen dribbled past a man in the middle and was brought down by a defender, and Leeds United won a free kick from 26 yards.
At Leeds United, there are no free-kick players, and they usually pass into the box and rely on their teammates to score goals, so the Northampton City players, who had done their pre-match preparations, leaned in unnaturally when they were in the wall.
Standing in front of the ball, Da Costa and Thompson discussed each other for a moment before parting. A whistle blew, Thompson ran directly to the ball first and pretended to shoot, seeing that the human wall of Northampton City had jumped, Thompson jumped over the ball with a smile, and behind him Dacosta had trotted close to the ball, with a right leg, the ball grazed the falling human wall and flew to the near point of the goal, at this time the goalkeeper who was at the far point was powerless, watching the ball fly into the net of the two.
3:0, relying on an excellent free kick after Da Costa's return, Leeds United once again extended the score.
Once again, Northampton City, who are playing at home, have been completely unable to hold the game, and their confidence is already crumbling.
On the pitch at this time, the Leeds United players hugged together to celebrate, Tang Fei in the crowd congratulated his teammates, but he was still thinking about the free kick just now, how good it would be if he could have a free kick!
There are many free kick masters flashing in his mind, and the first thing Tang Fei thinks of in the central defender position is Mihajlovic, a master who once created the miracle of free kicks.
