Chapter 267: It's Time to Show Technique

After a moment of staggering, the Blackburn manager quickly recovered from the blow of conceding the ball and realised that now was not the time to be stunned.

He realistically glanced up at the big screen.

There is time for the game on the big screen.

The fifty-ninth minute of the game.

Thirty-one minutes to go, and if you count stoppage time or something, there may be thirty-five minutes left.

In nearly 35 minutes, at least two goals have to be scored, which is enough time.

It's not time to give up despair completely! There's still hope for Blackburn!

He made up his mind and quickly called Alicha, the Blackburn Rovers player closest to him.

"That's... Instructor... I—" Alicha didn't know what to say, and wanted to explain it to the manager, but he didn't know how to speak.

He stopped the other party.

"Now is not the time to talk about other issues.

The game is not over yet, and who says we are going to lose? You go up and tell them we're going to attack, but we can't keep pressing like that, otherwise they're going to use their speed to score more of our goals.

We're going to attack on the basis of a solid defense! Do you understand? ā€

Alicha nodded hurriedly.

After seeing Alicha return to the pitch to speak to the Blackburn players, he turned his attention to the bench.

At this point, Blackburn needed something to change.

......

When the game resumed, Blackburn Rovers quickly made a substitution, which was a counter-substitution, an offensive adjustment.

Blackburn replaced a defensive midfielder with a playmaking midfielder.

Although the Blackburn head coach verbally told his players to defend solidly, he had no intention of giving up on attack.

It's just that Leeds United have just scored and their morale is high, so we must watch out for their counterattack at this time.

Let's take the time that followed Leeds' goal, and when they were running out of fitness, it was Blackburn Rovers who counter-attacked.

He firmly believes that moment will come soon. Because Leeds United's fitness is very problematic!

It's more than 60 minutes now, about another 10 minutes at most, after all, by the time we enter 70 minutes, Leeds United's fitness will be exhausted.

At that time, Blackburn will launch a series of attacks fiercely, as long as they can take a goal in a short time.

Then Leeds United will fall into a physical and psychological meltdown.

Then Blackburn's third goal of the reversal game was a logical and natural one, and in this way, Blackburn would have won the decisive battle for the title. That's what the Blackburn head coach is thinking.

So after conceding the ball, Blackburn did not choose to fight back at the first time, but chose to shrink the defense.

Leeds were indeed as he expected, with morale high and attacking momentum after the goal.

It's actually a common scene in many games – when a team scores a goal, their morale is high, the whole team is in better shape, and an attack that doesn't usually look like a chance can threaten the opponent's goal.

So unless manager Schaaf strictly forbids his players to come forward to attack, Leeds United will inevitably come with a wave of intensive attacks. If you can score, you earn it.

If they don't score, then they will quickly retreat before the physical exhaustion, no longer entangle with Blackburn, and hold on until the end of the game, anyway, even if they are equalised, it will still be considered an early title.

Jurgen Klopp didn't stop his players from doing so, because he wasn't worried about anything.

The team's offensive is very strong, which does not mean that all the players are pressing on the attack, leaving a large area of space in the backline.

The tacit cooperation between a few people can also disturb the opponent's defense line.

With Land Breeze, Robert, Silva, Leeds United's core attacking players enough to put pressure on the Blackburn backline.

Coupled with whether Gomez and Hernandez are inserted into the attack, it is like a cold gun, so Blackburn will never dare to take it lightly.

This psychological pressure was enough for Blackburn to dare not attack.

Besides, even if it was really bad luck and allowed Blackburn to score a goal, it would have been a draw. Jurgen Klopp can immediately adjust his tactics to keep the team to hold on to the end of the game with this draw, and Leeds United can firmly hold the initiative in the title race.

So he has nothing to fear, and the current situation is very good for Leeds.

However, if the team does score a goal, they can directly seal the win, kill the game completely, and lock up the league title at Blackburn's home stadium one round earlier.

Winning on a rival's home turf is exciting to think about.

......

Blackburn Rovers tightened their defence and Leeds stepped forward to attack.

Land Breeze was much closer to the goal than before. He had been almost always in midfield, even at the back.

Now, he can move around 40 to 30 meters from the goal, looking for opportunities.

It's good and it's not good to be close to goal.

Because here he has to face more defensive pressure, the opposing defenders are more dense, almost airtight, and there is no more space for him to use his speed, let alone drop back to catch the ball.

But that doesn't mean there aren't chances to score.

Lu Feng also wants to score.

He wasn't satisfied with a brace.

He knew that the ball was not going to bring the team to safety.

Then he's going to make Blackburn completely lose all hope of winning the championship now!

He wants to make the other party completely dead!

People are too dense to exert speed?

It doesn't matter, I still have the skills! Brother is an all-round striker, proficient in all eighteen martial arts,

Lu Feng had already scored twice in the game, and he was naturally closely watched by Blackburn Rovers in the following games.

This time, Alicha finally has a helper.

Because of the shrinking defense, Blackburn's players are not far apart.

They can support Alicha at any time.

So the pressure on Alicha is a lot less.

In three minutes, Lu Feng did not have a single successful take, let alone shot.

As soon as he received the football, he would be stabbed by Alicha or someone else, and he would not foul him.

Lu Feng realized that he couldn't continue to stay in the middle lane, so there was no chance at all.

The middle is Blackburn's most densely defended place, and he has to go to a place where the defense is relatively less tight and the personnel are more relaxed.

The wing is a good opportunity.

So Lu Feng came to the side.

He was already on fire in the midfield, and Klopp never stipulated that he had to play in the middle, so he often came back to the wings.

This is a normal transposition and does not cause any fuss.

Lu Feng came to the side, and he was followed by Alicha.

But it's a lot less stressful.

Rushing in from the side road is no stranger to Lu Feng. He used to play on the wing when he was in Brazil.

......

Lu Feng went to the wing, and Robert did not choose to stay in the middle of the lane, but also went to another wing.

The pair of guys, one right and one left, pulled Blackburn's defenders to the flank, and the rest of the Leeds players could take advantage of it, right?

It's not that simple!

Blackburn's defenders didn't follow the two strikers down the flanks – fools know they're trying to tear a hole in Blackburn's defence.

If Blackburn Rovers had been ripped off their defenders so easily, they wouldn't have conceded the fewest goals in the league.

In defence, the middle is always more important than the wings.

What's more, the two strikers have gone to the wing, who will play in the middle, and Silva can't be allowed to come up by himself.

Silva's physical confrontation is not even as good as Lu Feng.

After all, Silva is a playmaker midfielder and physical confrontation has never been his strong suit.

......

After running to the side, Lu Feng quickly got the ball.

There are only a few people who can participate in the attack in the front court, and they don't give it to anyone, so the football will always come to his feet.

As soon as Lu Feng received the ball, Alicha rushed up from the front.

It's different from before, this time Alicha didn't come up from behind, but stood in front of Lu Feng, blocking Lu Feng's forward artery.

Blackburn full-backs, meanwhile, came back from front to help.

The two of them were one after the other, forming a flanking attack on Lu Feng.

The Land Breeze did not give the Blackburn full-backs a chance to defend closely.

In the face of Alicha, he directly took the football from the middle, and after Alicha was attracted by him and went to the middle, he made a sudden stop, flicked the football to the outside of the instep of his right foot, made an emergency stop, and wiped it past Alicha.

The Blackburn full-backs were late at this point.

I can only watch Lu Feng dribble the ball and kill it.

Alicha didn't give up so easily, he turned around and went around the inside line, continuing to block in front of Lu Feng.

This time, no matter how Lu Feng used his feints, he was unmoved, just to keep a safe and reasonable distance and keep Lu Feng out.

"Alicha has a lot of experience defensively. He didn't want to cut off the football now, he just stopped Lu Feng from breaking through into the penalty area.

That's the right idea. From the current point of view, it is almost impossible to directly break the ball at Lu Feng's feet. So as long as he doesn't let him break through, his crosses are much less dangerous than other breakthrough shots. ā€

The British commentator praised Arica's defensive options.

The space in this area is relatively narrow, as long as Ali Cha stabilizes and forces Lu Feng to a place close to the bottom line, he will have no way.

Speed needs space to exert it, and it is impossible for Lu Feng to create space out of nothing where there is no space, right?

Sure enough, Lu Feng couldn't help Alicha, who was unmoved, and was finally forced by Alicha to a place close to the bottom line.

Lu Feng finally stopped.

There was a cheer from Blackburn Rovers in the stands.

The head coach of Blackburn, who was standing on the sidelines, also had a smile on his face.

"Lu Feng has finally been forced to stop! It's not easy!

Arica's defense was very successful!

Now his teammates are rushing towards Lu Feng, and under the interference of his teammates, Lu Feng will either lose the ball or go out of bounds, and the best thing for Lu Feng to do now is to cross directly.

It's just that if you pass the ball from this angle, there is a high probability that the passing route will be blocked by Blackburn players. ā€

In everyone's opinion, Alicha was a successful defense.

In fact, it is true that the land breeze that was forced to stop was a last resort.

He actually wanted to break through directly, but the space in the box was very small, and if he forced his way past Alicha with his speed, then the football he went out of the box would definitely be cut off by Salihamidzic who was guarding the box.

Surrendering possession so easily, Lu Feng didn't do it.

But now that everyone else has stopped, what else can be done?

What Lu Feng is best at is passing people in high-speed sports, whether it is a feint or eating raw by speed, it has to be when others are exercising.

Now that his whole body is in a static state, how can he get rid of Alicha's sophisticated and calm defense?

Lu Feng looked at his split legs.

The opponent lowered the center of gravity on defense.

A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and he found a way.

At this time, the Blackburn fullback had quickly rushed towards Lu Feng, this time even if it was a foul, he had to cut off the ball at Lu Feng's feet, he didn't want to let Lu Feng be in the limelight again.

But in the process of rushing towards Lu Feng, he saw that the land wind that was originally stationary had changed.

I saw that the left shoulder of his body was slightly heavy, he raised his right foot, and then gently plucked the football with the outside of his right foot.

Alicha also reacted, quickly shifted the center, moved to the bottom line, did not force up, and still maintained a relatively reasonable distance.

But what happened next left the Blackburn full-backs' eyes wide!

It's not just him.

Alicha, the audience in front of the TV, and the narrator were stunned by what happened next, and forgot to react.

Everyone originally thought that football would be pushed to the bottom line by Lu Feng, and they believed in this very much.

No one would think it's a feint.

Feints are generally the movement of the football and the body.

Or even if the football moves, there must be a back hand, such as a feint like croquettes, the football goes in one direction, and there must be feet waiting there.

Now Lu Feng's pluck does not meet the above two points.

Lu Feng's right foot is to turn the football outward, and there is no left foot there.

So the football will definitely fly to the bottom line, Lu Feng must have been forced by Alicha to be unable to do it, and seeing the opponent's fullback pounce, he simply made a desperate bet, intending to take the bottom line and force a breakthrough.

No one doubts such a judgment.

And the distance the football flew out was not close, which is definitely not a feint!

But at this moment, everyone's eyes widened and they watched football like ghosts!

The soccer ball, which was supposed to fly to the bottom line, suddenly folded in the air!

Behind the soccer ball is Lu Feng's right foot!

The football, which was supposed to fly to the bottom line, turned back and flew back and flew to the penalty area!

Lu Feng actually used his right foot to get back the football he kicked out!

The moment Lu Feng pulled the football out again, a layer of sweat instantly appeared on his back, because he dialed it up!

It stands to reason that the three toes on the outside of the toe of the right foot should gently sweep towards the football and make the football jump.

But he used too much force, and the football really flew over the bottom line!

However, Lu Feng did not give up, he threw out his right leg violently, and stretched it as long as he could.

His left foot was bent as if it were in the turf, and his balance was supported by this leg, while his arms were spread out to help him maintain his balance.

It was a very awkward move, but Lu Feng really succeeded, and his right foot really took the lead and hooked the football back!

The soccer ball that was hooked back by Lu Feng happened to drill between Alicha's legs......
