Chapter 229: Cooperation from Santos
Since they didn't come up, Silva moved forward.
It wasn't until Silva dribbled past the centre circle that Bristol City defenders pressed on Silva.
At this time, everyone can see that in the second half of the game, Bristol City seems to be a little relaxed, and there is no high-intensity pressing like the first half.
Of course, as the Bristol defenders approached, Silva was quick to pass the ball away.
He then continued to pass with his teammates. After a lap, Silva went to the left, middle and right areas of the midfield, and now Bristol City's defense is indeed quite sloppy in the midfield.
Lu Feng stood in the front court, seeing Silva's performance, his face was still expressionless, but his heart was full of fluctuations.
It seems that Bristol City is careless, sure enough. In that case, soon, my chance will come.
It's just that when will this opportunity come?
Lu Feng's eyes were staring at Silva, he believed that Silva would give him a subtle pass.
Like, at Santos, like, the previous game.
......
Silva didn't know that Lu Feng was counting on him all his thoughts, and he was busy now. As the heart of Leeds United's midfield, he is actually more important to Leeds United than Landwind.
It's just that because Lu Feng is a striker and has attracted a lot of attention, many people ignore Silva's role, but in fact, Silva's role in this Leeds United team is irreplaceable.
On many occasions, Silva was able to catch the ball with ease and then adjust it calmly.
It was a very difficult treatment in the first half.
And it's not just Silva himself, but the rest of the Leeds players are facing a lot less defensive pressure.
It's just that so far, Bristol City's defense in the 30-metre zone has been decent, and he only tried a little bit to find out about it, so he reversed the ball. Make sure the ball is on your side.
Then find a way to find a gap and catch loopholes.
If there weren't any good chances for a while, Silva commanded the ball to be passed back, back and forth, even to goalkeeper Lan Reina, and then up.
But he doesn't always have to catch and pass the ball, and sometimes the pass doesn't have to go through him.
At this time, he ran straight forward and observed the situation at the same time. He found that Bristol City had no intention of strengthening their defence against him.
Maybe they think they're running around?
Leeds made another round of passes but couldn't find a good chance, by which time Silva had run up front but he didn't ask for the ball from his team-mates. Instead, he pointed straight back, shouting the name of Hernandez, the player who held the ball, and motioned for him to pass the football directly back and stop passing it to himself.
Hernandez turned and passed the ball back to captain Adiyak.
Bristol City's formation followed suit.
Adiyak originally wanted to pass the football to Silva, but now Silva is still in front of him and has not returned, too far away from him. And with him and the Bristol City players between him, he can't guarantee that the football will not be cut off after passing it.
And if he were to pass the ball to Silva, Silva would have to receive the ball with his back to the attack, and he would probably pass the ball back to him after receiving the ball, which would not make much sense.
At this time he saw Asensio on the wing.
So he played a long ball straight away and the ball went over the head of the Bristol City midfielder in the middle and fell to the wing.
Asensio received the ball on the flank and the Bristol City full-back stood in front of him. The experienced Bristol City full-back didn't get up and stuck in position, keeping a proper distance from him.
Don't give him a chance to break through.
Sure enough, in the face of the defense of the Bristol City fullbacks, Asensio was completely unable to break through. And the Bristol City midfielder who rushed up just now also turned and ran towards him.
At this moment, Lu Feng, who was originally at the front, suddenly ran back.
Silva, who remained in the front, also moved laterally from the right flank to the middle.
Both men were followed by Bristol City players in their runs.
Lu Feng and Silva were followed by two central defenders from Bristol City.
After discovering that Silva and Lu Feng had led the opposing two central defenders, Asensio decisively made a diagonal long pass to Lu Feng.
Instead of passing to Silva, he chose to pass the football to Lu Feng.
However, in order to prevent the ball from being broken on the ground, Asensio opted for a high cross. The soccer ball is in the air, although it is not so easy to be destroyed, but it invisibly increases the difficulty of Lu Feng catching the ball.
If he stops the ball with his chest, the Bristol defender will immediately stick to it, so he will never have a chance to turn again.
However, Lu Feng did not stop the ball, and he clearly knew how to cooperate with Silva.
He directly hit the top of his head and gently pointed the flying ball at Silva.
And at this time, Silva ran right in front of him.
The two men were so close that it was almost difficult for Silva to stop Lu Feng's sudden onslaught. And even if he stopped, the opposing centre-back was in place.
This time, in front of everyone, Silva showed his imagination and why he is at the heart of Leeds.
Silva has a good look, imitates the landing wind, and uses his head to push the football back on!
The ball went over the head of the Bristol City centre-back!
The Bristol City defender who was keeping an eye on Silva never thought that Silva would choose to handle the ball like this, and when he saw the football flying over, he was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Lu Feng, the Leeds United No. 10 player in front of him just now, seemed to turn around and run behind him!
Finished!
This is an anti-offside straight plug with the top of the head!
When Hernandez passed the football to Lu Feng, everyone felt that it was difficult for Lu Feng to stop the ball, he ran to the football, the football flew towards him, and the two forces would become a greater force when they met, so it was difficult to stop the ball.
But Lu Feng used a header to block the football directly towards Silva, which was very surprising.
What's even more unexpected is still to come, in the face of this very difficult ball, Silva actually pushed the football back directly with his head, and even played with a match, turning a difficult ball into a killer through ball!
And it flew over the heads of the Bristol City defenders!
This made him have no choice but to watch the football fall from the top of his head to his back, and the Lu Feng who was in front of him was gone, and he could guess with his knees that he must have turned around behind him!
"Land Breeze!" Wang Kai stood up excitedly in the studio.
It's no wonder he's excited, it's because it's so imaginative, and what didn't seem like a chance is a pass that turns into a great attacking opportunity with the practice of Lu Feng and Silva.
When Silva pushed the ball past the Bristol City centre-back, Lu Feng ran just right to get around the centre-back, run behind him and catch the ball.
No one is staring at all!
Now, the land breeze is almost facing the empty door!
Lu Feng easily took the football and took a step into the penalty area.
The Bristol City goalkeeper dropped out and pounced on him.
Lu Feng seemed very calm, and was not intimidated by the momentum of the opponent's goalkeeper's attack, and did not even look at the opponent more, and calmly shot a low shot.
The Bristol goalkeeper swooped down as he attacked, but he was a little slower and the ball slipped past his feet.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the football, watching it bounce forward on the turf and finally slowly roll into the goal!
"Beautiful goal, Landbreeze! Shot from Landwind! Wang Kai shouted excitedly.
"Leeds have scored! Land Breeze! After three goals down, he pulled one back for Leeds! At a time when everyone thought that Leeds United was going to lose this game, Lu Feng's goal undoubtedly gave all Leeds United fans a glimmer of hope! ”
"Beautiful goal, beautiful combination! Lu Feng and Silva, two former Santos players, have an unparalleled tacit understanding.
Needless to say, two people can understand what they mean to each other. Look at this goal, the moment Silva passed, Lu Feng had already completed the run, this is a top striker's nose, and the Bristol City defender next to him did not react at all.
This goal reminds me of the cooperation between the two men at Santos, and during the time when the two played for Santos, there were many wonderful combinations between Lu Feng and Silva. This cooperation is a wonderful performance.
After falling behind by three goals, Leeds United did not choose to give up, but continued to look for attacking opportunities. After Bristol City took the lead in the first half, they were a little slackened in the second half.
If so, Leeds may still have a chance. Although Leeds United has one less game, but the strength of Leeds United is stronger than Bristol City, plus the home game, once this goal makes Leeds United players regain confidence, then Bristol City may get the three points, will fly! ”
The British commentator also praised the goal mercilessly.
The credit for this goal belongs entirely to Lu Feng and Silva. No matter who is missing the wonderful performance, it will not be possible to have this goal.
At the same time, as a commentator, what I like to see most is a wonderful game. Leeds United trailed by three goals and played one less, but still did not give up. Plus this is a team that advocates offense, how to make people dislike.
......
After the goal, Lu Feng turned and ran back, colliding with Silva with open arms waiting to hug him.
Behind them, other Leeds players rushed up and hugged them.
"Well done!"
"You guys are amazing!"
"It's a beautiful fit"
They slapped Silva and Lu Feng on the shoulders, on the top of their heads, on their backs.
Next to them were some Bristol City players who had not yet recovered their senses.
The Bristol City defender, who was passed, was explaining to his partner and goalkeeper what he had just defended.
However, to the cheers of the Leeds United fans in the stadium, his remarks seemed to the Bristol City players to shirk responsibility.
However, no one blames him, after all, this ball, it is Lu Feng and Silva who cooperate with him beautifully, and it is not his responsibility.
Sometimes, conceding goals isn't just a defender's defense.
What's more, on the pitch now, they are still ahead, and they have one more than Leeds United. I can't blame my teammates, and it's not time to lose.
......
Leeds celebrated wildly after the goal, but no one went to the net to pick up the football, which seemed to show that Leeds were happy with the face-saving goal.
The Bristol City players were simply amazed by the process of the goal, but did not take the conceded goal to heart.
After the game resumed, the Bristol City players behaved no different than they did before conceding the goal.
The commentators are still talking about the tacit cooperation between Lu Feng and Silva in the ball just now, and it seems that it is the most shining moment of Leeds United's game.
Off the pitch, Jurgen Klopp was on the sidelines. Keep an eye on Silva and Lu Feng, even though they don't have the ball at all, it's Bristol City who are attacking.
These two boys really have a tacit understanding, it seems that the team's reinforcements this time have really earned.
With these two men working together so well and Bristol City now showing such laxity, Leeds United have no chance.
Klopp's words in midfield are actually his inner thoughts. At heart, he is a man who does not admit defeat, and now that he sees Bristol City's slackness and the hope of this game, then Klopp is willing to give it a try.
Thinking of this, Klopp turned and walked towards his assistant Boucot.
"Tell Anthony to warm up!"
Boisko hurriedly got up and went to the bench to call Anthony to warm up.
Hearing that Anthony was asked to warm up, on the bench, Robert on the side was depressed. Looking at Anthony with a happy face, Robert didn't know what to say.
Now I'm going to change the striker, why did I go there earlier, why did I replace myself?
That young boy, is as strong as himself?
No matter what Robert thought in his heart, Anthony was excited, he didn't expect that as a striker, in such a situation, he would still have his own chance to play.
He quickly put on his vest and ran to the warm-up area, he knew what the coach was doing when he asked him to warm up at this time, and he must have changed himself to the court.
At this time, when you go on the field, you will naturally go up to score goals, so you must move your body well.
With this in mind, Anthony buried himself in a serious warm-up.
Soon Leantoni finished his warm-up and returned to the sidelines, where Klopp pulled him to explain the tactics to him.
Anthony came on the court as a center of course, and then let Lu Feng drop back a little bit, hide behind Anthony and look like a nine-and-a-half, or shadow forward, who can shoot on his own or play for his teammates.
This position is also the most comfortable and familiar position for Lu Feng to play, which can maximize Lu Feng's strength.
In this way, the central axis becomes complete, making up for the problem that the frontcourt attack is still a breath away.
But if Robert comes on, who will he replace? On the bench, many people are speculating.
Land breeze? Silva? No way, the two of them are in just the right state.
