Chapter 14: A Fatal Flaw

The game continued, and after Leeds United saw the hope of scoring, they continued to strengthen their attack, and even the two full-backs unconsciously increased the number of forward insertions and reduced the number of return visits; Attacking centre-back Rui Marquis is even close to the centre circle.

In the 36th minute, Leeds again set off a good chance to attack. Sean Deley took the ball in front of the back, and Douglas took the ball and then distributed it again to the right wing. Da Costa faced Krees Cummons, who stepped forward to defend, and directly shook the opponent with a very beautiful high-speed change of direction, and Nottingham Forest defender James Page came to help defend, seeing that Da Costa was about to break through, he directly tackled the ball to the ground.

"Beep" The referee's whistle sounded, and he walked directly in front of Page and pulled out a yellow card as a warning. Leeds United won an indirect free-kick from 40 yards on the right flank.

Da Costa raised four fingers and instructed the No. 4 tactic, in fact, in addition to his teammates on the field, it is really impossible for the opponent to guess what the tactic is, even if you have just used it, but it may be that the tactics of the same number have changed greatly after changing a serving player, so the Nottingham Forest players can only stare at the players they want to watch.

The big foot drove out, the ball flew straight into the penalty area, and there was chaos in the penalty area for an instant, you pushed me. Flo jumped up to fight for the top but was pulled off the corner by a Nottingham Forest player, and the ball flew directly over Flo's head and fell to the back post, before being cleared by centre-back Alan Bracken.

Flo ran directly to the referee after falling, and angrily signaled with his hand that he had just been pulled by the corner of his shirt and that a penalty should be awarded. The referee obviously didn't pay much attention to Flo's actions, and instructed Flo to leave and not to hinder his own law enforcement, because there are too many such small actions in League One, and if a penalty is awarded, then don't be a referee. But obviously, Flo, who was well-guarded in this game, finally got this opportunity and slipped away like this, unwilling he reached out and grabbed the referee who was about to leave, ready to reason again, but he didn't want the referee to sit on the ground directly under the guard.

As soon as he saw the referee sitting directly on the ground, the players on both sides were stunned, and the perpetrator Flo was even more stiff. The referee sat on the ground for two seconds and sprang up, but apparently he still remembered his "professional ethics", like the X-Men Iceman possessed, he directly hit the "Ice Palm", and a shiny ruby God of War card was distributed to knock out his own Flo, and then pointed straight to the sidelines.

After receiving such a cold slap, Flo instantly calmed down, looked at the expressionless referee, and then looked at Wise who was like a ghoul crawling out of hell not far away, Flo could only walk to the player tunnel with his head down. If Wise knew that Flo was thinking of him as a ghoul, he would have really behaved like a corpse eater on the spot.

Billy Davis was directly happy on the sidelines, God really wants me to win. Originally, I wanted to wait for Leeds United's physical strength to decline in the second half before playing my own offensive tactics, but I didn't expect this God-given opportunity, Davies directly called the captain on the field to explain.

When the game resumed, the ten-man Leeds United did not wait to slow down the tempo of the attack, trying to drag it out until the end of the half-time, but it was clear that Nottingham Forest, who had just changed their tactics, would not think so.

In the 40th minute, Nottingham Forest launched their first attack. On the left, Krees-Commons took the ball to the side, and Da Costa, who faced the defense, made a beautiful emergency stop, and turned his left foot again, shaking Da Costa directly. Left fullback Ben Parker just stood up and lowered his center of gravity to reduce the opponent's speed, not wanting Commons to make a trip with his left foot, an instant acceleration, and directly ate Parker with speed, and Parker at this time was still standing still, and could only watch the opponent run past him.

Commons made a run of two on the left and the Leeds defence opened a big gap, with Rui Marquis getting slightly closer to the right to prevent the opposition from cutting inside and not wanting Commons to pass the ball directly behind him. Wise, who was on the sidelines, jumped straight from the coach's seat, and his own Danyou finally came; On the other side, Billy Davis clasped his hands and looked nervously at the court.

Sure enough, Nottingham Forest striker Chris Brown rushed straight past Matt Heath and easily dribbled past the onrushing Ankel Gren to smash the ball into the back of the net. At the moment of the goal, the Leeds United fans, who had cheered the entire half, fell silent. On the other side, Nottingham Forest fans sang the team anthem loudly and waved scarves with the team logo in their hands, forming a strong contrast at the City Square Stadium.

1:0, Leeds United, who dominated most of the half, fell behind.

The Nottingham Forest coach shouted directly on the sidelines and waved his arms, and each swing was like a hammer to Wise's heart. Wise, who was full of anger, directly kicked the mineral water bottle at his feet, and the mineral water bottle flew all the way and smashed on the leg of the fourth referee on the sidelines, directly splashing the trouser legs, Tang Fei sat on the bench and thought: It seems that Wise, who has just retired not long ago, has not forgotten his footwork, and it is really a fight with Ferguson's kick. But thinking about Xiaobei, Tang Fei remembers that it seems that he transferred to the major leagues after this season.

The camera turned back to the field, Wise looked at Billy Davis who was standing next to the fourth referee at this time, he was persuading the fourth referee to send himself off the court, what a cheap and well-behaved bastard, Wise angrily turned back to the bench, for the fourth referee on the sidelines, that is to be angry with the head coaches of the two teams, no matter what he does.

"Wise, our weaknesses have been exposed, do you want to replace them now." Assistant coach David Kitis, who was sitting on the sidelines, suggested with a worried look on his face.

Coach Wise looked at the field, gritted his teeth and said, "Wait, let's drag on the first half first." ”

But sometimes, things just turn out so unexpectedly.

In stoppage time, Nottingham Forest found another chance. It's the same trick again, but the difference is that it's just a different side. Striker Chris Brown received a behind-the-back ball from the right and once again made a one-on-one shot, and the ball flew past the onrushing Ankel Gren into the far corner.

At 2:0, Leeds United suffered another heavy blow.

Half-time in the Leeds United team's dressing room. The atmosphere was solemn as if it was going to rain, and even Haosen, who was usually playing treasure, obediently turned the ostrich.

Wise looked at the player next to him who was bowing his head and was silent, and kicked directly on the tactical board with a bang, and the tactical board flew out painfully and smashed on the player's closet. After venting, Wise sat directly on the bench, took a few deep breaths, and said: "You can't blame all the goals in the first half, and I also have part of the responsibility, after all, how to start is decided by me." Wise was the first to admit his mistake.

The players below raised their heads directly, especially Haosen's eyes as if looking at aliens, Tang Fei was sure that he was dying again.

Sure enough, "Johnny, what kind of eyes are you, am I an arrogant and domineering image in your hearts?" Wise glanced at the crowd and aimed his fire directly at Howson, "Go back and train 15 laps a day until the next race." After speaking, he didn't look at Hausen and continued: "Although there are my reasons, but in the last moments of the first half, what happened to your midfielders, the old ones can't run anymore, and the protection of the front of the big penalty area is completely gone." ”

Hearing Wise's criticism by name, the four players in the midfield directly lowered their heads in shame.

"And your backline, what, do you feel like the game is over, there's no motivation at all." After the midfield, Wise continued to criticise the backline.

"In the second half, if you're playing like this, then leave me." As he spoke, he glanced at it again.

"Yes," the Leeds United player replied loudly.

Wise nodded in satisfaction, and the team's morale went up, and then the substitutions began. "In the second half, Don you come on for Matt, and then you play as a trailing centre-back, paying special attention to the ball behind you."

Tang Fei nodded quickly when he heard that he was finally on the field.

At this time, to the south of the audience, the commentator Anders was explaining the situation of the two teams in the first half.

"It was a really surprising game, maybe some of the viewers who had just turned on the TV didn't understand what was going on, Leeds United who were in the limelight were going to score two goals, which was completely different from the pre-match predictions. But we can see from the replays of the two goals in the first half why they were two goals behind, with centre-back Matt Heath's rock-stiff turn and snail-like pace being the biggest colander. I think even if I go to play, I can be faster than him. Anders went straight into taunt mode.

……………………………………………………

At the start of the second half, it was discovered that Leeds United manager Wise had made a substitution. Billy Davis looked at the court and sighed regretfully, what a pity, it would have been nice if it had been a little longer. If Wise had heard Davis's shameless words, he would have staged an all-out martial arts on the spot.

"Hello to the audience in front of the TV, it's Nottingham Forest vs Leeds United in the 10th round of League One, and it's the second half. Obviously, for the two fatal mistakes on the Leeds United back line in the first half, manager Wise made a direct substitution. We can see that the 19-year-old Tang Fei is now on the field, Tang has just joined Leeds United this year, and has often come off the bench in previous games, and is the focus of Leeds United's training. ”

Tang Fei stood in the central defender position and thought about the situation on the field. Regarding the current situation of the team, Tang Fei had a detailed understanding before he went on the field. Now that Nottingham Forest has played with momentum, the attack in the second half must be more intense, plus their side is ten to eleven, basically Leeds United's second half is a defensive counterattack. He is now tantamount to being ordered in danger, Leeds United's goal has been completely exposed in this game, coach Wise must make adjustments in the back line, and now he is replaced on the field itself is a signal, I believe that as long as he plays well, he should be the main starter in the future. As for how it is outstanding, Tang Fei looked at the Nottingham Forest players who were about to attack in the midfield, and licked his lips evilly, Come on, you are destined to be just a pebble on my way forward.
