At half-time, Jurgen Klopp criticised his team's performance in the first half.

"The referee's penalty is strict, so you don't dare to defend and let them attack? It really doesn't make sense. You don't know how to defend except for fouls? In the second half, show me some real skills. ”

With that, he turned to look at Silva.

'Silva, you were cut off from the rest of the world in the first half and you have to change that in the second half.

He didn't say how he wanted Silva to improve, he thought Silva could solve the problem, and that was still there.

Silva also nodded, there is no question of what the manager should do, he thinks there is no need to ask the coach for such a problem.

Klopp looked at Lu Feng again.

"In the second half, take out your impact and constantly impact the opponent's midfield and backfield defense, I allow you to break through with the ball, understand?"

Lu Feng also nodded.

On the other side, in the dressing room of the visiting team.

The Stoke City players were in a good mood as they equalised just before half-time and are now back on the same page with 45 minutes to go, with plenty of hopes of winning the game.

At the same time, Stoke City's attacking performance in the final stages of the first half allowed them to regain their confidence.

This season in the Premier League, Stoke City has not had a good time, so it has received ridicule from Leeds United.

But now, against Leeds United, Stoke City showed their dignity and strength as a Premier League team, and in the second half of the first half, Leeds United were overwhelmed.

The happy Stoke City manager also praised the performance of the Stoke City players.

'Well done, boys, everybody was questioning us before the game. And your performance in this game is a testament to the quality of Stoke City, we are a Premier League team and there is no problem with winning against a Championship team like Leeds United.

Even if they win the Championship, they are only a Championship team, we are a Premier League team. Keep up the form for the second half of the first half and we'll win the game and advance to the next round with ease. ”

The words of the Stoke City coach waited for the approval of the players, and in the dressing room of Stoke City, there were talking and laughing, as if the game was over and Stoke City had won the final victory.

Well, at this time, if you open champagne, it is estimated that it will be more perfect.

......

In the stands of the stadium, many Leeds United fans were dejected.

They were a little disappointed with the result in the first half.

After Leeds took the lead, they were looking to extend their lead, but in the end, Stoke equalised.

Doesn't it mean that Stoke City is no longer good, why is Stoke City in this game so similar to Stoke City that won the championship and was promoted last season.

Isn't it hard for them to get a win this season?

Originally, Leeds United fans were still looking forward to the team's return to the Premier League, but now facing Stoke City, which is about to be relegated from the Premier League, Leeds United's performance is not flattering.

In this case, after returning to the Premier League, maybe Leeds United will be relegated again.

At that time, could the team still retain talents like Silva and Land Breeze? And the team owner, will he continue to invest like this?

Many Leeds United fans have a shadow over their hearts.

......

The fifteen-minute half-time break was soon over and the players from both sides were back on the pitch.

For Stoke City's players, they probably felt that 15 minutes was too long and couldn't wait to get the second half started.

They feel that the state of this game is better than ever, and they want to teach Leeds United a hard lesson in the game, let them know, and mock the fate of Stoke City.

After the players of both sides stood still, the referee blew the whistle. The second half began.

In the second half, as in the final stages of the first half, Stoke City pounced hard as soon as the game began, trying to overtake the score as soon as possible.

And Leeds United did not panic in the face of Stoke City's onslaught, but contracted the defense first and played steadily as in the first half.

The two sides are at a stalemate.

Ten minutes passed in a stalemate.

Ten minutes into the second half, neither side had a better chance on goal.

The only slightly threatening attack came from a pass after Lu Feng's breakthrough, and the football was passed into the box by Lu Feng, but Robert was still half a beat slow and the ball was confiscated by the Stoke City goalkeeper.

In the 64th minute, Leeds United won possession and the ball was passed to the feet of Lu Feng.

This time, Lu Feng did not choose to break through again, but directly passed the football out to avoid being surrounded by Stoke City players.

In the second half, he had already played several breakaways, and the Stoke players were on guard, and as soon as he broke through, someone was in place immediately.

His long pass, although a little rushed, was in the general direction and found Robert.

Robert stretched out his foot to stop the ball and dribbled forward.

Stoke City's defenders quickly pressed in and squeezed him to the outside.

Robert naturally had to respond, making a sharp stop and kicking the ball back in order to change direction and shake off his Stoke defenders.

He did get rid of the Stoke City defender, and then he kicked the ground, caught up with the football, looked in the direction of the goal, picked up his right leg and fired a powerful shot!

"Robert's shot! A pass from the land breeze! ”

Wang Kai hurriedly shouted, startling the Chinese fans who were about to fall asleep watching the live broadcast.

These fans hurriedly opened their eyes and looked at the live camera, just in time, they saw the scene of the football flying over the crossbar and flying towards the stands.

"Oops, alas! It was probably the best chance Leeds United had so far in the second half! ”

"Robert, oops!" Wang Kai said with a sigh.

"What a great long pass Lu Feng is! He didn't even grasp it! Robert didn't receive the cross after Lu Feng's breakthrough before, otherwise, maybe Leeds United would have led 2-1!

After Lu Feng returned to midfield, Robert could not take advantage of the opportunity to finish the game, and perhaps, after this game, Klopp will reconsider whether Lu Feng should stay in midfield.

After all, there is still Silva in midfield who can deliver exquisite passes, and Lu Feng is not indispensable, but the lack of finishing ability is vividly reflected in this game for Leeds United. ”

Wang Kai's tone was very unhappy, otherwise Lu Feng would have successfully swiped another assist with this pass.

Leeds fans in the stands let out a long sigh, as if complaining about Robert's shot.

Robert, who finished shooting, saw that the football did not go in, and after scolding in a low voice, he gave a thumbs up to Lu Feng and praised Lu Feng for passing well.

Now that Lu Feng has no competition with him, he can't embarrass Lu Feng anymore, and he is counting on Lu Feng to pass him a few more good balls.

You must know that in the first few games, Lu Feng also had assists.

As a striker, you shouldn't offend a midfielder.

......

Stoke City's attack in the second half was fierce all the time, almost forming a siege.

Not only did they bombard Leeds United's penalty area, but they also pressed and defended all Leeds United players with the ball in midfield.

Land Breeze and Silva are the top priorities for their defence.

Because Land Breeze and Silva are the heart of Leeds United's attack, their choices when they take the ball determine the direction and quality of Leeds' attack.

Just being able to contain two people could paralyze Leeds United's attack by half.

While Stoke City continued to besiege the Leeds United goal, Lu Feng turned his head to look forward.

He found that Robert was playing as a center forward, but he didn't go to the front.

Instead, it retreated.

Lu Feng smiled, he couldn't see that although this Robert was not very good, he still had a good IQ in football.

That's fine, and I hope you don't waste any more of my passing opportunities.

So when Stoke City's attack was stopped by a Leeds United defender and passed the football to Lu Feng. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and passed the ball forward to Robert.

Then he didn't stop where he was, but ran forward desperately.

When Robert received the ball, there was not a single Stoke City player around him, because no one could have imagined that Robert, as a center forward, would not be in the front, but retreated to the area where the midfielder should have been.

'Leeds counter-attack, Lu Feng's pass found Robert.'

Robert's sudden appearance in this position and receiving the ball was a big surprise to the Stoke City players. But they reacted quickly, and someone pounced on him.

The Stoke City defender pounced on Robert.

Robert, however, didn't show the slightest stickiness. When he received the ball, he turned around and passed the ball again!

He didn't pass the ball back to Lu Feng, but forward!

"Hernandez! Robert passes the ball to Hernandez! ”

Wang Kai shouted excitedly.

The Leeds United fans in the stands also began to cheer, as if they were cheering for Hernandez.

Hernandez was not on the wing when he received the ball, but in the middle, at the top of the penalty arc in the middle of the box!

He received the ball in a center position!

It turned out that when everyone was focused on Robert. Hernandez suddenly cut inside from the wing and ran into the space left by the Stoke defenders!

Hernandez did not hesitate and, after receiving the ball, continued to rush forward.

At this time, the goalkeeper of Stoke City could no longer sit still, and without the Stoke City defenders by his side, he chose to attack.

At the same time, Stoke City's players are also coming back quickly.

Faced with the onrushing goalkeeper, Hernandez opted for a direct volley and the ball flew towards Stoke City's goal.

"Hernandez shoots..."

The British narrator looked excited.

The Stoke goalkeeper didn't expect Hernandez to suddenly get up and make a hasty save.

As a result, Hernandez's shot was full of power, but the angle was too positive, and it was really saved by the goalkeeper of Stoke City.

"Oops! Hernandez's shot was too good and was saved by the Stoke goalkeeper. ”

This cry of regret was from Wang Kai, a commentator from China.

The Stoke City defenders, who reacted, touched the football before the Leeds United players and cleared the ball with big feet.

"Alas!"

The whole stadium seemed to be filled with the sighs of Leeds United fans.

The British commentator didn't know what to say, and after a moment of silence, he spoke.

"It seems that Leeds United's luck is a little bad today, and they missed countless good opportunities to score, otherwise, there would have been no suspense in this game."

......

Although Hernandez didn't score, it scared the Stoke City players enough.

This goal, it was completely their mistake and missed the defense of Robert, which led to Hernandez having such a one-on-one chance.

Fortunately, Hernandez couldn't grasp it, if it had been replaced by Land Breeze or Robert, it is estimated that Stoke City would have conceded the goal a long time ago.

The Stoke City players on the pitch thought it was an accident, a defensive accident, and as long as there was no similar situation at the back, it could have been completely avoided.

However, they really didn't take this foot too seriously. Quite simply, everyone has good luck. That kick was just a stroke of Leeds luck.

Next time, they won't get such a good opportunity.

And there are many Stoke City players who will subconsciously think that Leeds United did not take such a good opportunity just now. Then they will never have a chance to beat us again!

On the pitch, wasting opportunities is a luxury, and there is retribution.

The Stoke City players believe Leeds United will be punished for Götze's kick.

And retribution comes from Stoke City!

In fact, it is not only the Stoke City players who think this way, but also many Leeds United fans and some Leeds United players.

After Hernandez lost the ball. Fans can directly show their inner regrets, and even scold Hernandez for being too reckless, and they can continue to dribble the ball in and then face the goalkeeper and play him one-on-one. Get past him, shoot again, and then the goal will be 100 per cent.

There are also some Leeds United players who can't directly criticize their teammates for wasting opportunities on the surface, but they must have beaten their chests for a long time in their hearts, and I am afraid that there is still a great sense of loss in their hearts.

In their opinion, Hernandez is a good chance in the top three, if not the best chance of Leeds United in this game.

But now, this opportunity has been squandered.

Many people have some thoughts in their hearts.

If you want to say that you have no ideas at all, I'm afraid the only ones are Lu Feng and Silva.

Because as the playmaker of the team, they are often faced with the time when their teammates can't score after passing a good ball. If they complained about every ball, they probably wouldn't have complained anymore.

On the pitch, many times scoring goals is not only a reflection of skill, sometimes it is also a reflection of luck.

Leeds United failed to score on so many good chances, and they can only blame the bad luck and not the players.

Even if it's Lu Feng, there's no guarantee that every opportunity can be seized.
