Chapter 43: The Illusion of the Beginning

As a senior in the English League, Leeds United did not hesitate to educate Odenheim on how to be a "four-haves youth", and after the game, manager Wise slapped the faces of those reporters who had previously sung about themselves with the team's performance at the press conference. Finally, after a breath of depression, a refreshed Wise left the venue with light steps.

Within days of returning to Leeds, the unscrupulous English media began to praise Leeds again. However, Wise is still deeply aware of the team's predicament, and the lack of strikers is still the biggest problem for Leeds United at this stage. As for the big win in the last game, it was just an accident caused by the opponent's arrogance and his own attack, and he will not meet such a good person every time.

Picking up the schedule on the table, Wise's frowning brows were even deeper, the December game is coming to an end, but the last two games are so sad that Wise just wants to curse the FA a few words, what kind of schedule is this row!

On the 30th, Leeds United played Tranmere at home; The next day, Leeds United will travel to Northampton City.

What kind of **** thing is this, one day, this is not enough time to rest, not to mention going away, which is completely forcing Leeds United to give up a game.

Looking at the information of the two opponents, Wise was still a little difficult to give up. Both teams are about the same quality and both hovering in the middle of the league standings, so it doesn't matter which one you choose. After thinking about it for half an hour, Wise finally made his choice.

The sun rises and sets, the sun sets and the sun rises, and the time is the next day in a blink of an eye. At this time, in the training ground, Wise was preparing to announce the roster for the next game.

Looking at the team that was already standing, Wise coughed lightly and said, "Boys, we'll face Tranmere on Elland Road in a few days, and we'll be away to Northampton City the next day. The dates for these two games are so close, so I'll be using all the substitutes at home and I hope you won't let me down! ”

Hearing the news, the overjoyed substitutes were all excited, and replied loudly, "Boss, we will not let you down!" ”

Looking at the high-morale players, Wise nodded with satisfaction, but became a little worried. These two games are definitely going to use Konstantin in one game, the problem is that Konstantin is completely a tragedy now, and the goal has nothing to do with him, which is really sad, but now there are no soldiers available Wise, and he can only pray that Konstantin can score goals with the popularity of the home team and the character he has saved for so long.

On 30 December, Leeds officially welcomed Tranmere at Elland Road. At the press conference before the game, Wise was uncharacteristically modest, everyone was confused, and in the face of reporters' provocative questions, Wise was sure that he had not forgotten to praise his opponent, in short, hello, hello, everyone. Finally, after hearing Wise announce the starting list for this game, everyone suddenly realized.

"Hello friends, this is West Yorkshire Television Sports, I'm your old friend Anders, after a long absence, today I will once again bring you the broadcast of League One, today's game will be Leeds United at home to Tranmere." Anders, who hasn't commented on Leeds United for a while, returned to Elland Road today. At this time, the audience should be able to feel his love for Leeds United by looking at him with a hungry and thirsty face.

"I'd like to take a moment before the start of the tournament to give you a brief overview of the two teams. First of all, let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams for this game. As soon as the words fell, the starting list appeared on the big screen of the stadium, "We were surprised to find that all the starters of Leeds United in this game were substitute players, and many of the team's core players did not even enter the substitute list, but we can see that the manager Wise is obviously hiding the main force in the snow and preparing for the next game." ”

Just as Anders continued to introduce the situation of the two teams, the camera suddenly hit the stands behind the Leeds United dugout, "Oh! We can now see that Leeds United captain Thompson, defensive core Tang Fei, main goalkeeper Angel Gren and other players on the bench have appeared in the stands, and they are constantly interacting with the fans in the stands, obviously ready to cheer for their teammates. ”

Then, as time went on, the players of both teams had followed the three referees into the Elland Road Stadium, and after the captains of the two teams chose sides, the referee officially blew the whistle for the game.

At the beginning of the game, although it was a little surprising that Leeds United started all the substitutes, but in the face of the Devil's Stadium in League One this season, the Tranmere players still fulfilled the tactical arrangements of the manager before the game, solid defense and then attack. On the Leeds United side, it was finally their turn to prove themselves, and the Leeds United players were already waiting for a long time, and under the tactics of the opponent's contraction at the beginning, the whole Leeds United team directly started a round of onslaught. Just after the opening, Leeds United already had the upper hand in the game.

Opportunities always come very suddenly, and as soon as the Tranmere players settle into the pitch, Leeds have already had their first golden chance. In the 7th minute, Pluton on the left flank shook off Tranmere's right midfield after a one-two with Ben Parker, and when facing the opponent who was about to go forward, he directly crossed from a 45-degree angle, and the ball flew straight to Konstantin in the penalty area.

As the starter of this game, Konstantin was originally in the cold palace before, but now he suddenly got this opportunity, vowed to prove that Konstantin would never allow himself to waste another opportunity.

Looking at the incoming ball, Konstantin on the run finally showed his strength. Seeing that Tranmere's central defender was about to run in front of him, Konstantin slightly diagonally touched the flying ball with his right foot, as if calculated, the ball bounced up again and flew directly past the Tranmere central defender who came forward.

In the face of such an indescribable moment, the Tranmere players, who could no longer stop in an instant, could only watch Konstantin trot past him with the ball.

Passing past an opponent and unloading the ball again with ease, Konstantin saw another Tranmere centre-back ready to step forward to block, and he suddenly shot with his feet on the run, and the powerful volley made the ball fly straight to the top right of the goal.

Looking at the sudden shot, the Tranmere goalkeeper, who was completely unprepared, could only reach out instinctively. It was also fate, the ball in flight was still touched by the goalkeeper's fingertips, changed the flight path slightly, and unfortunately hit the bottom line on the outside of the goalpost, a corner kick.

"Ah......" Seeing that it was finally time to prove himself, he didn't expect that he would fall short, and in the face of the gap between heaven falling from hell, Konstantin in the forbidden area directly covered his head and knelt on the ground screaming. 、

At the same time, there was a cry of regret in the stands, although they hated Konstantin before, but as a loyal supporter of Leeds United, the fans still applauded without hesitation.

On the sidelines, Wise in the coach's seat also nodded slightly, but he who has already been injured once will not be like last time, so he will watch the finale first.

Despite missing out on such a great opportunity, the Leeds United players on the pitch were back in the game after adjusting their emotions a bit, and they were confident that the opportunity would come.

On the Tranmere side, after experiencing such a shocking scene, Tranmere's players were a little more cautious, and sure enough, even the substitute lineup could burst out with amazing power.

For the next 20 minutes, Leeds United, who had been attacking for most of the time, also created a couple of chances, but unfortunately failed to score.
