Chapter 148 - Interactive Mode of Direct Free Kicks

On 7 February, the Leeds United squad arrived at Brentford to begin preparations for the seventh-and-a-half p.m. game, which had been beaten by three goals at Elland Road in the first half of the season, and their greatest achievement was to complete Flo's first hat-trick of the season. Therefore, although Brentford has the home advantage this time, the goal of the team's head coach is very clear, that is, to succeed in relegation, so whether it is in the pre-game war of words or in the press conference, he has put himself in the right position and has a very humble attitude.

Since Wise became the head coach of the team, his original temper has slowly converged unconsciously, or hidden, and he has begun to learn the etiquette norms of civilized people, so Wise has also played the trick of hello, hello, hello, everyone.

At this time, the game has gone through more than ten minutes, Tang Fei, who is standing in the backfield command, has a clear understanding of the opponent's arrangement and strategic intentions, Brentford in this game completely put themselves in the position of the weak opponent, which can be seen from the formation of five defenders and two backs from their start, and they set up an iron fence within 20 meters of the penalty area after the opening, and even the forwards will retreat to the front waist position from time to time to interfere with the cooperation of the Leeds United midfield, obviously their goal is very clear, They are happy to get a valuable point on their home turf.

However, after all, the attacking side has the advantage in the football game, and in terms of overall strength, Leeds United's attack is already stronger than Brentford's defense.

When the game reached the 28th minute, Brentford suffered a strong blow from Leeds United, Thompson, who had been fully rested, played the captaincy again, and the left side and Parker's one-two successfully played a low cross, and Flo, who followed up in the middle, also reproduced his high state, under the almost embracing defense of the opposing two defenders, he broke through the barrier and jumped up, smashing the ball into the Brentford goal. At the same time, this goal also declared that Brentford's previous efforts were wasted after nearly half an hour of stubborn defense, and many of the pre-game plans were useless.

Seeing the opponent push the ball into the ball strongly, the Brentford manager, who has been paying attention to the game on the sidelines, can only lament, simply left and right are dead, it is better to choose to fight, even if he knows in his heart that the hope of success is very slim.

With a big wave of the coach on the sidelines, the Brentford players on the field had no choice but to strengthen the attack, but the team's starting formation was for defensive considerations, and now the attack is completely more than enough and not enough. Instead of giving them hope, the nondescript attack distracted Brentford's defence, leaving them even more porous at the back and completely unable to defend themselves against Leeds' attacking prowess.

When the time of the game came to 84 minutes, the game on the field had become 0-3, and it was extremely coincidental that these three goals completed Flo's hat trick, I really don't know if Brentford was unlucky or Flo was lucky, this seems to be the legendary killing.

At this time, the players on the field were preparing for the next set-piece, after Da Costa broke through the middle and was pulled by Brentford's midfield, and the referee awarded a direct free kick of about 22 meters.

In fact, although Leeds United has a strong attack and solid defense in League One, it also has a big shortcoming, that is, in free kicks, many players hoist the ball into the penalty area for teammates to fight for the top, unlike other teams that have free kicks to score directly. Leeds have scored two or three direct free-kicks throughout the season, and there is no such thing as a League One leader.

Leeds United team up and down, the best free kick footwork is Da Costa, so this time he is still standing in front of the ball, and there are no teammates who cover left and right, because anyone who has seen this data knows that he will never choose to shoot directly.

Originally, Tang Fei was running towards the Brentford penalty area from the backfield, ready to fight for the top according to tactics, but when he saw the opponent's wall at close range, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, Tang Fei immediately ran to Da Costa's side, and whispered: "Felipe, wait a minute, don't pass the ball in, try to score from a free kick." ”

"Huh?" Da Costa was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Don, it's not that you don't know my free kick skills, and I'm not sure." ”

"I know." Although the opponent is weak, Tang Fei will not let his teammates waste casually, Tang Fei smiled mysteriously at the corner of his mouth, and said: "You look at the back of the opponent's wall, obviously think that you will not kick a direct free kick." ”

Da Costa glanced at the human wall, it was indeed as Tang Fei said, and the opposing players still looked back from time to time, after thinking for a while, Da Costa was still a little unconfident, and said: "But I'm really not sure." ”

"It's okay, anyway, we don't want to rely on your ball to win the game, you should practice your footwork, because this direct free kick has a better chance, so I asked you to try it, and the hit is a surprise." Tang Fei explained.

"Okay." Da Costa thought about it and responded, just like Tang Fei said, anyway, if you can win the opponent, why not give it a try.

"Come on!" The preparation time for the free kick was still very short, and Tang Fei finally encouraged Da Costa and ran towards the back of the goal.

may also be destined for Brentford to suffer this catastrophe, as Tang Fei is fixed at the back point, the Brentford players in the penalty area all move a few steps inward with Tang Fei as the center, and even the goalkeeper is approaching the back point of the goal, it is obvious that the Brentford players are thinking too much after seeing Tang Fei and Da Costa just now, thinking that Tang Fei will be the first point of attack.

And at the same time as the Brentford players moved, the teammates in the penalty area were also moving towards the periphery with Tang Fei as the center, according to the usual arrangement, Tang Fei was the first point of attack from Leeds United's set-pieces, so they should have pulled out the offensive space for Tang Fei.

The actions of the players on both sides were carried out in such a tacit understanding without any rehearsal, Tang Fei, who saw the intentions of both sides clearly, is also drunk now, but this is okay, at least everyone has focused their attention on themselves, and the chances of Da Costa are even greater.

The referee has long been accustomed to the small movements of the players on both sides in the penalty area, and after seeing Da Costa signal to him that he is ready, the referee blew the whistle.

"Beep......!" A few seconds after da Costa helped run, you pushed me in the penalty area, and they all wanted to jam the opponent to seize the advantageous position, and Tang Fei, the "gold medal supporting actor" standing at the back point, played with all his might, while grabbing the position, he also raised his right hand and shouted here and here, as if signaling Da Costa to pass the ball over, and his realistic acting skills attracted the attention of all the Brentford players around, especially the goalkeeper.
