With a solid defense, it's natural to chase goals. The Bristol City players at home began to play more and more freely, and they also created chances in a row as a team, completely overpowering Leeds United on the pitch for a while.

"Cole Scus, who was in defense in this game, cut off Da Costa's through ball, dodged the counter-attack and passed the ball to Scott Brown in front."

"Oh! Brown showed us a wonderful dribble, facing Sean Deley who stepped forward to mark the defense, Brown completed the turn and breakthrough at the moment of receiving the ball, and cleverly shared the ball! Scott Brown shoots straight at goal! ”

"Wow! A thrilling scene, fortunately, Leeds United central defender Tang Fei made up the defense in time, and the ball hit the thigh and flew out of the bottom line, a corner kick. ”

……

Brown got the ball on the edge of the box again, but this time Sean defended tightly and Brown, who couldn't break through for a while, opted to pass back.

'What will Skus, who is in the back row, get the ball on the verge and now that the other two team-mates have pulled the other Leeds players away for him? Do you keep dribbling or shoot straight at goal? ”

"Danger! Skus received the ball and fired a shot straight to the right side of the goal! ”

"Wonderful save, Leeds United goalkeeper Ankel Gren played his strength as the number one goalkeeper in League One and struggled to drag the ball off the crossbar and try to keep the goal intact!"

……

'Johnson picked up the ball on the right and faced Leeds captain Thompson again, what choice would he make?'

"Beautiful! Johnson used his speed to get rid of his opponent's entanglement after a direct change of direction acceleration breakthrough, and he cut inside again. ”

"Oh! Wonderful feints, Johnson once again turned to the bottom. The pass was made, Johnson kicked too much, and the ball flew towards the goal with a strong spin! Anyone who touches it can score a goal or an own goal! ”

"It's Tang Fei again, as the backbone of Leeds United's defense, he stood up again, and the ball flew out of the bottom line by grazing the post in a thrilling way."

After successfully breaking the siege again, Tang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his head, but he was lucky in his heart. The ball flew out of the post against the post, which was almost an own goal, but as the core of the team's defense, who didn't go up? Fortunately, the results were thrilling.

Turning his head to look at the Bristol City players who had retreated to the midfield, Tang Fei was full of worry, the situation on the field was too passive now, and the opponent hit the ball too hard, and he had no scruples. Now the teammates in the midfield are completely unable to attack or defend, and there is no effect at all, and Tang Fei has no effective way for a while. Look at the time on the big screen in the stadium, fortunately, after defending so many times, it won't be long before the end of the half, hold on to the draw first, and then talk about the rest of the halftime. Glancing at coach Wise on the sidelines, he was also signaling to recycle the formation.

In the time that followed, the commentator's exclamations sounded again and again, and the nerves of Leeds United fans were also teased again and again, as if testing everyone's heart endurance.

Fortunately, there was no big mistake in being careful, and Leeds United, who were dedicated to defense, finally held on to the 0:0 score with unwavering belief and waited until halftime.

Throughout the first half, Bristol City had the upper hand, while Leeds could only parry and could not fight back, and the number of shots on target was also 7:1. And the only chance was when Tang Fei cleared the siege in the backfield, the ball flew straight to Flo who was running by mistake, but unfortunately the 34-year-old Flo had no speed at all, and was squeezed all the way by the opponent McCampie, and the ball that did not hit the strength was easily confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper.

In the face of such a situation, the Leeds United fans who came from afar were somewhat disappointed, and they were a little silent when they were originally full of enthusiasm. However, as long as they don't lose, there is hope, and they were even more impressed by the defenders who saved the ball many times in the first half. Especially Tang Fei, who defended very beautifully several one-on-one, did not leave the opponent a single chance, coupled with his calm command, which perfectly interpreted the core value of a defense commander.

In the away dressing room, Leeds United's starters were all gasping for breath, and even the usually funny and amusing Hausen was unable to move, and was rehydrating while receiving a massage from the team doctor to relieve the soreness.

Seeing that most of the starters were tired like dogs, even Tang Fei, who was usually strong-willed, frowned worriedly, and at this time, Wise was already screaming in his heart that he had made a mistake.

Underestimating the strength of the opponent, or rather the belief in revenge, led to such a passive situation in the first half, the scene was completely unbalanced, and the pre-match tactics did not play a role.

In the face of the opponent's tsunami-like attack, the tired players have obviously consumed too much physical strength. In particular, captain Thompson, the 33-year-old veteran, was particularly physically exhausted in the first half when he faced the opponent's speed after breaking through with various tricks. After some examination by the team doctor, it was said that Thompson's physical strength was no longer able to support the following games.

Although Wise is already a little anxious now, there are only 15 minutes of halftime, and the most important thing is to develop a new tactical plan.

"Boys, do you think you'll be able to finish this game?"

"Of course, we are Leeds United, the top team in the English League, even if we lose today, we have to play with our momentum and put two holes in the opponent to make him remember!" As Wise's henchman, Tang Fei was the first to stand up and shout.

"That is, I'd rather die standing than be a turtle with a shrunken head!" Haosen, a good friend, was the first to respond to Tang Fei's call.

And people are all group animals, at this time, with Tang Fei and Haosen taking the lead, the other players also raised their heads again, looking like they were going to bite two pieces of meat on the opponent if they lost.

I'm not afraid that your strength is insufficient, I'm afraid that you won't act, watching the team's morale finally pick up to a certain extent, Wise finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, I was also secretly glad in my heart that the team was fortunate to have Tang Fei, a firm-minded defensive commander, who could also lead by example in adversity and boost everyone's morale with actions.

"Excellent! Boys, although we played more passively in the first half and had a lot of physical exertion, the opponents attacked non-stop for half the game, and there is no doubt that their physical strength will definitely not be much better than yours. As long as we hold out longer than the other party, the balance of victory will definitely tilt in our favor! Wise hit the nail on the head as soon as he opened his mouth, encouraging everyone to persevere from the most realistic physical point of view.

And after listening to the words of head coach Wise, everyone nodded their heads. Indeed, before only thinking about his fatigue, there was no hope in the second half; But the opponent is also a human being, and now I don't think it's much better than myself. After thinking about it, the flame of hope was once again ignited in everyone's hearts.

Looking at the eyes of his teammates full of fighting spirit, Tang Fei was both happy and speechless. The happy thing is that football is always a united sport, after everyone reinvigorates, there is hope for this game again, and what is speechless is Wise's way of encouragement, which can be summed up in one sentence - as long as you are not as good as me!

It seems that no matter what time it is, this is a worse world than bad, as long as you are not as good as me, I am happy. Just like now, as long as the players of the Bristol City team are physically similar to their own, or even not as good as themselves, then their teammates can rekindle the flame and fight again.

"Okay, there's not much time left, so I'll talk briefly about the tactical arrangements for the second half." Wise glanced at Thompson as he spoke, "Alain, I won't say much more polite words. I'll put Ian on the field as a substitute for you. ”

"It's nothing, I know my own business, and now I'm running out of energy. Ian, I'm going to give you the task of teaching Johnson a lesson for me. As captain of the team, Thompson understands that everything starts with the big picture, and with the fact that he can't afford to fight anymore, substitutions are a natural thing.

"Okay, you have a good rest first, and then there will be a game." Then Wise explained to Westlake, "Ian, you must suppress the opponent's breakthrough after you get on the court, that Johnson is relatively fast, but the technique is rough, I believe you know how to do it." ”

"Well, I understand." Ian, who was on the side, nodded.

"In terms of tactics, the midfielder increased the range of running and tackles, pushed the defense line back to 30 meters in front of the big penalty area, as long as the ball entered this range, he would give me a desperate block, and the foot should be ruthless, and I would be scared to death!" Wise said viciously, "Remember, as long as we hold on better than the other party, victory will get closer and closer to us, come on!" ”

"Come on!" The reinvigorated players responded loudly.
