Chapter 11: Curve Revenge
As the saying goes, it's a shame to waste, and Leeds United, who have wasted nearly 70 minutes, have finally received their biggest crisis. The Bristol Rovers players continued to carry the ball forward, with Paul Huntington as a trailing centre-back as the last defender. With a one-on-two, Huntington saw that his opponent was about to step into the penalty area, so he had no choice but to step forward to block the opponent's dribbling player, and the result could only be resigned to fate.
Huntington's move didn't affect the Rangers' attack in the slightest, as the ball was already on the side as Huntington stepped forward, and the unguarded Rangers player picked up his long legs and struck the goal with a powerful kick.
Anker Gren looked at the ball calmly, and the moment the ball flew out, his body rose up like lightning, and he stretched out one palm to the ball flying in the upper right corner of the whole box.
"Bang" and "bang", two consecutive sounds, the ball first hit Anchor Gren's finger, and then slightly changed the flight path and smashed on the goal crossbar and bounced back into the penalty area. All three men in the box rushed towards the bouncing ball for a moment, but it was clear that Huntington, as a defender, was clearly inferior to the two Rangers strikers in terms of shooting instinct, and it was clear that the ball was about to fly over Leeds again, and this time without Ankel Gren standing in front of the goal again.
Just as the Bristol Rovers striker raised his hands in celebration and a long leg suddenly flew to the side of the ball, the ball smashed directly into the thigh and flew upward.
"Bang", hearing the sound from behind him, Tang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief when he lay on the ground, and was almost scored, but fortunately, Huntington and Anchor Gren blocked it, or he wouldn't have been able to intercept it in the end.
Tang Fei, who was sitting on the ground, frowned and rubbed his thighs, that kick just now really hurt. Raising his head, Tang Fei suddenly found a bitter look on his teammate Paul's face, huh? Why such an expression?
Tang Fei was about to stand up, when he suddenly heard a long whistle from the head coach, and the two strikers of the Bristol Rovers waved their arms in ecstasy and ran towards the midfield, and the whole stadium instantly remembered loud cheers.
Tang Fei didn't know where he was scored, and when he looked back, sure enough, the black and white ball was lying motionless in the goal. How so? It's useless to get the interception just now, I clearly heard the sound of smashing on the beam?
Tang Fei slowly stood up, at this time, the big screen in the stadium was replaying the offensive process just now, after watching the whole process, Tang Fei was completely speechless, turned his head to look at Ankel Gren, you said that it is not good for you to lie there, you have to lie there. The ball hit the crossbar and hit the back of Ankelgren's head, which had just stood up, and bounced straight into the goal, which is why the referee blew the whistle so long later.
At this moment, Tang Fei could only look up to the sky and sigh: The baby is bitter!
Wise, who was still preparing to take advantage of the dead ball opportunity to replace on the sidelines, sat directly in the coach's seat, which was scored, or in such a helpless way, who should he blame, who can he blame?
At this moment, Wise must find a reason, or he would have died too unjustly. As for him, in an instant, Wise's gaze turned ferociously towards Constantine. It's him, this guy who has been losing character the whole game, it's all his fault. Wise, who was caught in the horns, decided from this moment that for the safety of the team in the future, Konstantin must be sent away, even if he had a tearful sale during the winter break, and as for the games before the winter break, Konstantin could wash and sleep.
Replacing Konstantin, Wise stood on the sidelines without looking at it, and kept waving his big hand to signal the team to strengthen the attack, and he must advance a goal at the end of the game, or he will lose in the first round, and he will not be laughed at without being laughed at.
What Wise didn't expect was that God was absolutely going to punish him today, why did he pray there without washing his hands after going to the toilet, and kept touching the Bible in his hand.
Leeds United did not equalise until the end of the game, and Bristol Rangers, who were all on the bus, saw off God-punished Leeds United in the first round of the Carabao Cup with a determined character.
The next day, newspapers in Yorkshire and Leeds scrambled to cover yesterday's game.
""Shenfeng" Konstantin "shines" on Elland Road - Leeds Morning Post
"Naughty "God" - York Sports Newspaper
Wise, Are You Cursed? - York Weekly
Looking at the newspaper of the day, Wise was even more convinced of his decision and directly sent Konstantin into the cold palace.
At the Leeds United training base, the whole team is doing all kinds of training under the supervision of the coaching staff. Haosen looked at the coaching staff in the distance, secretly ran to Tang Fei's side, and said, "Tang, have you read today's newspaper?" ”
"Hmm." Tang Fei nodded, in fact, even if he didn't look at Tang Fei, he could predict what the situation would be.
"What the hell do you say about Konstantin, it's really like the newspaper said that he was a 'god' yesterday." After speaking, he also pointed to Konstantin, who was also training in the distance.
"Who knows. I'm speechless. Tang Fei was also depressed after returning home yesterday, his first start was still in charge of the rear command, and finally let the opponent score a goal. However, Tang Fei read the newspaper in the morning, and he still had a positive attitude towards his last active defensive media, and basically turned all his firepower to Coach Wise and Konstantin.
"Do you think it's really like the newspapers say that Coach Wise is cursed, and if it's true, what will we do?" Hausen was obviously still restless, and in less than three sentences he showed his nature of death.
Looking at Coach Wise, who was standing not far behind Hausen, Tang Fei nodded affirmatively and said, "Johnny, I don't know if the boss is cursed; But I know you're cursed. After speaking, Tang Fei continued to train without looking back.
Haosen stopped and looked at Tang Fei strangely, how did you call me cursed, when, why don't I know. Then in an instant, he was cursed.
"Johnny, how do you think I can thank you?" Wise's icy voice suddenly sounded behind Hausen.
"Hiss......" Hausen turned around stiffly, looked at the expressionless Coach Wise, and was about to speak.
But apparently, Wise, who was furious at this point, would not listen to any explanation, and Howson should not blame him since he hit his own gun, "Well said, Johnny. Congratulations, 30 extra laps. ”
"Yes......" Hausen, who was drooping his head, replied weakly, and then ran to the sidelines.
Wise glanced at Howson, then turned to the others, "Whoever dares to be lazy today, let me go and accompany Howson." All speed me up. As he spoke, his cold eyes swept over everyone, as if he could directly freeze the air.
Therefore, as soon as the person heard the words of the head coach, he instantly sped up like a motor. Tang Fei glanced at Wise secretly, as if he had really just come out of the cold hell, he unconsciously shook his body, and his pace sped up a little, Tang Fei didn't want to become cannon fodder like Haosen, but with him as cannon fodder and Constantine, the rest of the people should have a much better life.
In the next two days, Tang Fei finally realized how the devil was refined, and there were countless kinds of additional training, as if he was going to exhaust everyone to death on the training ground. Fortunately, the number 26 is about to start the fifth round of League One, and the opponent is still Bristol City from the same region as the previous opponent.
Bristol City, nicknamed "The Mockingbirds", are on par with the Bristol Rovers in the Bristol area, but for the current Wise, as long as you're from Bristol. This season, Bristol City is close behind Leeds United with 3 wins and 1 draw and 10 points, so in the pre-match coach conversation, the Bristol City manager directly ridiculed Wise's last loss to Rangers, and let out a big word that this game must be a big score for those Leeds United and taste the top of the league. To this, Wise simply nodded and did not respond. However, the Leeds United players know that Wise must have a grudge against his opponent, or he has trained too much.
Saturday, August 26.
Leeds United changed the formation to 442 in this game, and Wise only said one sentence after announcing the starting line-up, if there is no slaughter of opponents in this game, I will sit on the bench.
In the south stand of the Elland Road stadium, Leeds United's full-time commentator Anders is carefully checking the machine. After a while, the director next to him handed over the starting lists of the two teams, Anders took the list and began to study it, the commentary work is not just a lip service, rich football knowledge and understanding every player on the field is essential.
At the start of the game, Bristol City came up and took a hit. In the 4th minute, captain Alan Thompson faced the defender with his right foot and flashed the ball to the right, and a straight kick was given to Flo in the front, and Flo made a header to attract the attention of the central defender and the goalkeeper.
1:0, Leeds United opened the bloody slaughter of the game.
In the 13th minute, Andy Hughes and Ian Westleck on the left made a one-two, and the corner kick went directly to the gap at the edge of the big penalty area, and midfielder Dacosta shot directly and vigorously from a distance, and the ball went over the goalkeeper like a white light and into the net.
2:0, just 15 minutes into the game, Bristol City was caught off guard.
In the 36th minute, Leeds United found another chance. Sean Deley also fired a long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area, the goalkeeper made a direct save, and the Bristol City defenders failed to clear the ball in the confusion, and Beckford fell to the ground and tackled the ball into the net.
At 3:0, the Bristol City players were completely blinded. Leeds created a couple of chances for the remainder of the first half, but all came up close to missing the goal. The first half ended.
In the Leeds United dressing room, Wise was still frosty, as if he had scored three goals in the first half. The player looked at the manager carefully, and it seemed that the coach was still not satisfied, and he had to score a few more goals in the second half.
Wise looked at the players next to him with a cautious look, and thought: Sure enough, there is still a bit of a high-pressure policy, or these boys don't know how to work hard. Tang Fei then came on for Matt, David Pluton for Felipe Da Costa, and Andy Hughes moved to the middle.
The break ended and the second half began. After the half-time break, the Bristol City players recovered a lot, and the two sides kept entanglement in the midfield. But soon, Bristol City was hit again.
In the 68th minute, Flora received the ball outside the penalty area, leaned on the defender, and suddenly passed the ball to the side, and Sean Delee, who was inserted in the back row, hit the goal vigorously, this time the goalkeeper directly clenched his fist and knocked the ball out of the bottom line. Corner kick, Tang Fei rushed to the front court to prepare to participate in the attack, because Tang Fei's header was not good, so he was asked to pull the players at 1.88 meters to create opportunities for others.
Captain Thompson held three fingers high - the number three tactic. The corner kick was taken, and Tang Fei suddenly ran towards the back of the goal; The ball suddenly falls as it flies to a high place, and it flies straight to the near point. Flo inserted a header in the back row, and seeing that he couldn't hit the goal directly, Flo rubbed it again, and the ball flew directly past the attacking goalkeeper and flew to the back of the goal. At this time, Tang Fei, who was at the back of the goal, saw a godsend, ignored the pull of the defenders next to him, and rushed directly to the ball with all his strength. In order to ensure the goal, Tang Fei directly hit the ball and flew into the goal with the ball.
At 4:0, the Bristol City players, who had just improved a little, were once again beaten into the trough.
Near the end of the game, Tang Fei cut off the ball in the backfield, passed to the right side with a big foot, and Hausen who came on as a substitute took the ball and directly made a straight stopper, and Beckford successfully countered offside again and easily scored the goal.
In the end, Leeds United bloodied Bristol City 5:0 and avenged the "revenge with one arrow" in the last game.
