Chapter 94: Turning on the Leader Aura
Statistically, goals have peaks and troughs, with the highest efficiency at the start of the game and towards the end of the game. This is not only because of the relaxation of the defenders, but also because of the high physical exertion.
Watching the opportunity pass by again and again, the mood of the Tottenham players on the field also became impatient with the rotation of the minute hand on the big screen. One of the most typical is Keane, in the first half of Tottenham's shots, Keane alone accounted for more than half, shot so many feet and did not score, Keane's mind is a little hot, but he is still constantly raising his hand to ask for the ball.
However, those who have brain fever are sensible, as the brains and organizational core of the team, Murphy's years of playing experience have taught him that he can't be in a hurry, and sometimes the more anxious he is, the harder it is to succeed, so Murphy ignores Keane.
And Murphy also found that Keane's role didn't stop there. As Keane kept raising his hand, the attention of Leeds United's defense was more distributed to him, unknowingly interfering with the opponent's defense, and the opportunity for others came.
In the 42nd minute, Lennon on the right received a pass from Murphy in the ribs of the Leeds United penalty area. As Leeds United's left-back, Parker is also very conscientious to step forward to mark the opponent, facing his former friend, Parker is ruthless, constantly using his body to collide with Lennon, who is back to him, hoping to snatch the ball with a reasonable collision.
As an eighteen-year-old player, Parker has a height of 1.8 meters and a weight of 72 kilograms, so at this glance, he is actually not very strong. But I'm afraid of a comparison, compared to Lennon's height of 1.66 meters plus a weight of 62 kilograms, Parker can definitely be regarded as a monster.
At this time, Lennon had personal experience, and because he was too familiar with each other, Lennon had already thought of Parker's defensive method. Only then did he stabilize his footing at the first time, feeling the huge pressure coming from behind him, Lennon barely controlled the ball with his clever foot skills. And Parker also knew that his friend's foot skills were outstanding, but he didn't dare to grab the ball easily, so he could only continue to stick to Lennon to put pressure on him.
As he was already close to the Leeds United penalty area, watching Parker unable to attack for a long time, Marquis remembered the advice of manager Wise before the game, and then went around to Lennon from the other side to try to snatch the ball.
It's a pity that good intentions do bad things, but the seemingly shaky Lennon seized the second when the two were misplaced, and the genius gently knocked the ball back with his heel in a flash of inspiration, and then quickly turned around, and his thin figure instantly drilled through the gap between the two tall defenders.
"Genius idea! Lennon broke through the combined defence of two Leeds United players with a very skillful and imaginative dribble! At this time, Gary in the stands was very excited, and shouted desperately at the top of his voice, the baboon that looked like he had learned enough to estrus on the land of Africa, was howling desperately in order to snatch the female baboon in the group.
was wiped out so suddenly, Parker and Marquis on the field were both slightly stunned, and then turned around directly to try to catch up with Lennon. Fighting Lennon is not the opponent of the two, but when it comes to speed, Parker and Marquis are simply out of reach, and the two who can never catch up with Lennon can only watch the distance get bigger and bigger.
At this time, Lennon, who easily brought the ball to the bottom line, even had time to carefully observe the movement of other opponents in the penalty area.
Heaven and hell are always on the line, and seeing that he was about to intercept Lennon who stopped, Parker, who was exhausted from chasing, threw his body against the ground when he was still a short distance away from Lennon, hoping to force Lennon to hesitate for a second and give him a chance to make amends, but reality gave Parker a heavy blow.
Lennon wouldn't give him such a chance, and before Parker's foot could touch the ball, Lennon dodged it with a gentle slam. And just when everyone thought he would get a high ball into the penalty area, Lennon looked at the crowded Leeds United penalty area and suddenly smiled slightly. With a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, Lennon directly passed a low-altitude half-high ball to the front of the big penalty area.
"Unexpected passing route! Danny Murphy, who was inserted in the back row, appeared at the landing point of the ball, and unguarded, he directly picked up his right foot and volleyed it into the corner of the Leeds United goal! ”
Seeing that the half game was about to end, Tottenham played a wonderful combination, and in the face of this powerful shot, Ankel Gren, who was blocked by many people, did not even make a save, just watched the ball fly into the net.
"Perfect long shot! Precise guidance of the ball suit is generally hung in the dead end! But we can't forget Lennon's brilliant performance, and it was his brilliant big-picture vision that led to this wonderful goal, and we congratulate Tottenham on their equaliser! ”
Wise, who has been standing on the sidelines since the beginning, has a somewhat dignified face, and was equalized by the opponent near the end of the half, especially in the face of a strong opponent like Tottenham, I believe that no matter who it is, it will be a little lost, and morale will inevitably decline a little, but fortunately, the game is about to end, and with Tang Fei's command ability, the opponent should not let the opponent score again.
At the critical moment, what Wise believes most is Tang Fei, who has always been calm!
In the stands, contrary to the elated Tottenham fans, the Leeds United fans were clearly a little surprised that their team had been equalised so quickly, and they were all stunned in their seats for a moment. Soon, however, they rekindled their motivation to cheer on the players on the pitch and hope that they can continue in the rest of the game. But their voices were quickly drowned out by the sea of Tottenham, after all, this is at White Hart Lane, and Tottenham's number of fans dominates.
After a hard half, he finally scored a goal, and at this time, Lennon, as the team's heroes, hugged Murphy tightly, which was really bittersweet.
But Leeds don't think so. Parker, who fell to the ground at this time, slammed the turf a few times, and the young Parker was obviously annoyed that he had just been broken by Lennon and eventually led to the goal, and the lack of success was his biggest portrayal now.
As the leader of the team's backline, Tang Fei pays attention not only to the defense but also to the psychological condition of his teammates, watching Parker pounding the lawn in frustration, Tang Fei walked over and pulled his teammates up, patted the grass clippings on his clothes and said: "It's okay, it's just a lost goal." Don't think too much about the irreparable, adjust your mentality for the next game is the most important thing you should do. ”
Parker looked at Tang Fei, who was only two years older than him, comforting himself like a big brother. As the team's anchor, Tang Fei's calmness and resoluteness, iron-blooded strength have a huge impact on Parker, and today, Tang Fei has become Parker's future target.
But in the face of such a big mistake, Parker still said with some self-blame: "But because of me, the team's good situation was lost like this, and we are still ,...... away"
"Don't beat yourself up too much because of that ball!" Tang Fei patted Parker's right shoulder and said, "Remember what Coach Wise said before the game?" Play your own hero! ”
"But......" But Parker was interrupted just as he was about to open his mouth.
'It's nothing, we're a unit, defending is everyone's business, so it's not your responsibility to concede the ball alone. Tang Fei said unswervingly: "The next thing you have to do is to cheer up and continue to keep an eye on Lennon." Don't have too many distractions, as long as you do your best, that's the best reward for yourself, for everyone, and for Coach Wise! ”
"Yes!" Thunder! Parker was suddenly shocked, and his eyes, which had been a little self-reproachful, also shone again, and he nodded firmly.
Compared to these, Wise on the sidelines is the most satisfied person. Originally, he was still a little worried, but Tang Fei's performance made up for himself in advance, and it seemed that his trust in him was very correct. At this time, Wise had already begun to think about whether to add some more burdens to Tang Fei, such as the vice captain or something!
