Chapter 8: A good start

In the stadium, as time went on, the players on both sides had slowly moved to their positions. The Oldheim players, who are visiting Elland Road for the first time, are gearing up and are clearly looking to upset League One promotion favourites Leeds United at home. However, the supporting role will always be a supporting role, and it is destined to be a stepping stone for Leeds to ride the wind and waves.

At the beginning of the game, Leeds United, who kicked off first, showed high momentum at the beginning, Douglas ran to the midfield with the ball, waved his teammates to plug in, and Westlake made a one-two past Odenheim A midfielder, seeing that the two players in the middle were waiting for him, Douglas did not hesitate at all, and passed the ball directly to the left. At this point, captain Alan Thompson, who was operating on the left flank, unloaded the ball with ease and saw that the young right-back had already pounced.

"This kid also wants to trouble me, it's really beyond my strength, so let me, an old man, teach you the truth of being a man." Thompson pretended to take the ball forward, and sure enough, there was a sliding tackle on the opposite side that tried to break the ball. Thompson saw that the opponent really hit the move, made a beautiful emergency stop, and flicked the ball to the right with the instep of his foot, and the opponent's sliding tackle directly missed. Thompson then got close with the ball quickly, flicked his left foot on the run and sent the ball straight into the box with a 45-degree cross.

At this time, Flo in the penalty area first ran to the outside of the penalty area when Thompson dribbled the ball, directly pulling a marking central defender on the other side, and then suddenly went straight into the penalty area at the moment of Thompson's pass, and Flo in the running directly pushed away another central defender who tried to clear the siege, and directly hit the ball with a header to the far corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper was caught off guard and could not make any save, and the ball went straight into the net. 1:0。

Leeds scored on the first attack and the players were all over the pitch. At this time, in the coach's bench, even Wise, who had a serious face, waved his arms vigorously, his face was very excited, and it was obvious that this opening goal had a good effect on his coaching pressure.

Although Tang Fei did not play, he was also very happy to see his teammates score a goal in the first attack, and happily hugged Haosen next to him excitedly.

At the end of the celebration, the head coach announced the resumption of the game. A few minutes later, Wise noticed that the Odenheim players were clearly focusing more on the team's defence, and the two midfielders were starting to move around the midline and no longer easily stepped forward to assist. Seeing such a powerful performance by Odenheim, Wise directly waved his hand, indicating that he would continue to strengthen the attack and strive for another guaranteed victory. In the first half of the next half, Leeds United achieved a comprehensive advantage on the field, and the attack was like a wave, but Odenheim also directly shrunk the formation after seeing the whole Leeds United attack, and Flo was focused on by two central defenders. In the end, with the referee's whistle, the first half ended, and with a header from Flo in the opening game, Leeds temporarily led 1:0.

In the away team's dressing room, the atmosphere in the Oderheim team was very tense and oppressive.

"What about your offense, are you showing me half-court defense, or are you playing stupid and forgetting about offense, I really want to knock your brains open now to see if it's all slurry. If you're playing like this in the second half, get out of here! The Oldheim head coach slapped the tactics board and shouted at the players who were still sleepwalking.

In the home team's dressing room, the atmosphere at Leeds United was harmonious and lively.

Wise was pleased with the first half, "Well done lads, you made me proud, but it wasn't over. ”

"Alain, as captain, apart from that cross, I only saw you blind passing again and again in the first half. Play to your strengths, observe and pass on. ”

"Yes, boss." Thompson said with a blushing face.

"And the two of you, Ian and Jonathan, how do you feel about your performance, you have to play a little efficiently, I saw the excitement on your two faces after scoring in the first half, why did you eat Brother Wei?" Apparently Coach Wise has learned badly.

"Yes, sir."

The halftime break ended quickly, and the two teams met again in the players' tunnel, looking at the gnashing teeth of the Oldheim players, Hausen jumped out directly, "Brothers, let's speed through and let them eat farts behind us forever." ”

"Poof." Everyone couldn't help laughing, Haosen's kid's mouth was really damaged.

And the murderous gaze of the Oldheim players turned directly to Hausen, which is really a good target.

At the start of the second half, the Odenheim team was obviously scolded a little harshly by the manager at half-time, and launched an attack at the beginning, in a vain attempt to learn from Leeds United to score a goal. However, it is clear that temporary cramming is not encouraged.

In the 23rd minute of the second half, Sean Deley cut off the pass directly, and then a big foot was driven to Thompson on the left again. Seeing Thompson get the ball again, the Oldheim right-back decided to learn from the experience of the last time, and this time he didn't attack easily. Thompson took the ball forward, saw the opposite right-back look nervously at the ball at his feet, the old fritters smiled, looked at the front position, left foot calmly kicked the ball at the bottom left, the ball fell into the penalty area with an obvious arc, seeing the arc and rotation of the ball, the Odenheim goalkeeper obviously did not dare to attack at will, and the two central defenders did not dare to easily compete for the header, because this kind of ball will become an own goal if it is not handled well.

Two centre-backs caught Flo in an attempt to get the ball flying off the line. Flo saw that he was obviously unable to attack the goal, and after more than ten years of experience, he instantly had a way to deal with it. After Flo jumped up to attract the attention of the three, the header flicked lightly, and the ball obediently flew to the back of the goal, where Westlake had already inserted and hit the empty goal directly.

2:0, Leeds United scored another goal. At this time, more than 30,000 Leeds United fans waved their scarves wildly at the Elland Road stadium and sang their team song "Forward Together".

PS: Suifeng feels that the team song is one of the souls of a team, everyone sings the team song when the team scores, and sings the team song when the team is behind to motivate the players on the field. The team song is the culture of the team, so the wind has written down the general idea of the team song of Leeds United. Of course, only this once, only one or two sentences will appear in future articles, to prevent water.

The voices of 30,000 people resounded at the Elland Road stadium in the same tone, and in the midst of this majestic song, Flo scored a brace in the 87th minute to give Leeds United a 3-0 win in the first game.

At the post-game press conference, Wise was full of spring breeze and humorous to reporters' questions, and by the way, the head coach of Odenheim was unable to appear at the press conference due to physical reasons, and was replaced by an assistant coach.

"Your team are the favourites to win League One this season and are clearly superior to each other, do you have any thoughts on whether or not they can win the title in the future?" A journalist is clearly digging a hole waiting for Wise, and as long as Wise is slightly misworded, the journalist will definitely misinterpret it without a lower limit, and Leeds United will then be the public enemy of All League One.

'Of course, everybody wants the title, every team has a chance to win it, so it's too early for me to talk about it. Wise had been prepared for this kind of problem for a long time, and deftly avoided the trap.

"You won the first game you received the team, is there any secret?"

"Every coach has a way of motivating the team and I'm no exception." Wise smiled mysteriously and said, "As for my method, it's better to keep it secret for the time being." ”

"Is there anything you would like to say about the team's performance today?" A blonde beauty reporter asked.

"I'm very satisfied and I hope the team will play like this every game in the future."

At the end of the press conference, Wise led the team back to the training base and gave the team a day off. However, before disbanding, Wise summoned everyone to give an explanation, "Tomorrow's newspaper will definitely praise you, what do I want to say, the older team members know, but for you young people, I still have to say it again, especially you, Hausen." ”

"Oh." Seeing the head coach mention himself by name, Hausen immediately pretended to be respectful and listened to the speech at any time.

Wise nodded with satisfaction with Hausen's attitude, and said: "I've seen too many young people as big as you, emotional, very easy to be swayed by those messy reports, and the state fluctuates, if a player like this can't adjust his mentality in time, I won't say much about the result, I believe you also know." ”

"Don't worry, coach, we all know the urine of those newspapers." Tang Fei said that the situation that the coach said, he had seen too much in his previous life, and the history of blood and tears of so many people was in front of him, Tang Fei believed that he would never have that kind of situation. Tang Fei turned his head to look at his friend Haosen, although he kept nodding, but he was still excited, for the sake of friendship, it seems that it is necessary for him to guide Haosen in the near future, and his 1.88 meter physique can teach him how to "behave" at any time.

"Okay, that's good. Disband. With that, Wise turned around and walked towards the office.

Leeds United Raise Ridge Road

The next day, the Yorkshire Post and Leeds Morning News, the largest local circulation, both reported extensively on yesterday's game in their sports sections, with images of Wise waving his arms as he scored his first goal. Even the players sitting on the bench were mentioned, and I have to say that Tang Fei's first time in the newspaper was actually stained with Wise's light.
