Unfortunately, Klopp's hair dryer for this game failed.

In other words, there is a clear gap between the Leeds United players and the Middlesbrough players who played in this game, both in terms of mentality and strength.

Leeds United, no matter what the result is, it is acceptable, after all, Blackburn have dropped points. Middlesbrough, on the other hand, can't afford to miss a point if they want to get into the promotion play-offs.

In such a mentality, the hard work of the two teams is naturally very different.

Middlesbrough started the second half and launched wave after wave of attacks towards Leeds United's goal.

Finally, Leeds United conceded the third goal of the game in the 59th minute.

After being poured three goals at home, even if Klopp didn't care about the win, his face was still a little ugly.

In the 63rd minute, Klopp made a substitution and replaced three main players in one go.

Klopp's tweaks were very effective.

With 75 minutes played, Silva provided the assist and Robert scored to pull Leeds back, but it was nothing to say about the outcome of the game.

Neither team was on the scoresheet for the rest of the game,

In the end, Leeds United lost 3-1 to Middlesbrough at their home stadium, and at the same time, it also ended Leeds United's 16-game unbeaten run in all competitions.

However, neither Leeds fans nor the media have made much criticism of this result.

Middlesbrough's weak strength, coupled with the struggle for promotion, naturally did their best.

Leeds United, on the other hand, is clearly trying to stay in the FA Cup.

Leeds United, who are mostly substitutes, are understandably losing this game.

No, Leeds United's substitutes have shown extraordinary quality in every game.

Naleeds United, which is not a Championship team, has long become a Premier League giant.

In fact, the Leeds players and coaches didn't take it seriously.

In fact, Klopp still deliberately lost this game, if Klopp sent Lu Feng, Silva and other semi-main players on the field, not to mention that he would definitely be able to beat Middlesbrough, but it is not difficult to keep the draw.

However, with Leeds United already unbeaten in more than 10 games in all competitions, continuing their unbeaten run will put unnecessary pressure on the team considering they are competing for two titles at the same time.

Therefore, Klopp strategically abandoned the game in order to reduce the pressure on the team.

However, Klopp's luck was too good.

Leeds have just given up a league win, and Blackburn have dropped another point.

Blackburn Rovers challenged Aston Villa away, and Blackburn, who had already scored three goals and two lines in the first half, was actually scored three goals in a row in the second half, and finally became a 3-3 draw.

With Leeds United dropping points, Blackburn didn't get much better either, earning just one.

This means that Leeds are still a full five points ahead of Blackburn, which also reduces the pressure on Klopp.

......

Three days later, in midweek, the fifth round of the FA Cup was played.

Queens Park Rangers host Leeds United.

It's not the first time the two teams have met each other, with Leeds United having beaten Queens Park Rangers twice in the league this season.

However, due to the good performance of Queens Park Rangers in the FA Cup, the last round was unexpectedly eliminated by the Premier League powerhouse Wolves, so Klopp had to pay attention to Queens Park Rangers.

It's an FA Cup game, it's not like the league, you don't have a chance to play again if you lose.

He was very cautious before the game.

However, Leeds United players have a different view and feel their manager has overstepped his caution.

This season's successful double win over Queens Park Rangers has given them a lot of confidence. In addition, Queens Park Rangers have been in a disappointing league performance in addition to their FA Cup performances.

Queens Park Rangers have been in really poor form lately, with three defeats, one draw and one win in their last five games as proof of that.

In this game, it is estimated that it is difficult to see signs that they may suddenly burst into small universes in the game.

Ahead of the game against Queens Park Rangers, the whole Leeds United squad looked very relaxed.

They didn't see it as a difficult game, and the facts proved everyone's judgment.

After the start of the game, Leeds United, who are bent on qualifying, is simply not something Queens Park Rangers can beat.

At the start of the first half, Queens Park Rangers were able to compete with Leeds United with their tenacious fighting spirit.

By the time we reached the end of the first half, Queens Park Rangers began to have problems at the back.

"Queens Park Rangers have leaked in the backline, it's dangerous! Robert almost scored! ”

Wang Kai exclaimed.

"This leak is really terrible. However, this does not seem to come as a surprise to us, as this is the current state of the Queens Park Rangers backline, who are not only weak in attack, but also poor in defence. God knows how they eliminated Wolves in the last round of the FA Cup!

Such a Queens Park Rangers is probably not a match for Leeds United at all. ”

Wang Kai's words were like a prophecy, and the Queens Park Rangers soon had problems.

In first-half stoppage time, Leeds United had a corner opportunity, and the Queens Park Rangers centre-back grabbed the first spot before the Land Breeze.

However, instead of clearing the ball, he headed the ball into his own goal.

Own goal!

In the 46th minute of the first half, Queens Park Rangers scored an own goal of their own!

With this own goal, the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

In the stands, Queens Park Rangers fans were depressed.

Originally, in the first half, Queens Park Rangers had barely stood up to Leeds United and held on to the draw.

They are also fantasizing about whether Queens Park Rangers can cause another upset at home, like they did against Wolves, Leeds United.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the first half, his own defender actually scored an own goal.

This ball can't be completely blamed on his own central defender, if he can't top it, it is Lu Feng who has reached it, and the result is the same.

It can only be said that the luck of the Queens Park Rangers is not too good.

......

The luck of this game, Queens Park Rangers, is indeed not good.

Less than five minutes into the second half, Queens Park Rangers' main centre-back fell to the ground injured in a scramble with Robert, clutching his ankle in pain.

"Ah, the Queens Park Rangers centre-back is injured, and judging by the way he looks in pain, it's likely that he won't be able to hold on any longer. For Queens Park Rangers, the news is just too bad.

In the final stages of the first half, it was his own goal that led to Queens Park Rangers falling behind by one goal, and now, he is injured in defence again.

I don't know what the head coach of Queens Park Rangers will feel when he sees this scene. ”

The British commentator said with a smile,

The television broadcast immediately cut to a close-up of the Queens Park Ranger Bishop on the sidelines, who was shown frowning and gloomy.

It's no wonder that he scored an own goal and then got injured. Even if the opposition is the team's main central defender, it is no wonder that the Queens Park Rangers manager can be happy.

As a last resort, the Queens Park Rangers manager had to be replaced by a substitute.

However, this substitution may be a complete aggravation for many Queens Park Rangers players.

Originally, the strength of the Queens Park Rangers back line this season was not good, but now the main team has been replaced and the last substitute has greatly reduced the strength of the defensive line.

Leeds United, there's no reason why they can't take this opportunity.

Sure enough, taking advantage of the chance of a dead ball, Klopp also made adjustments.

The game then resumed. Leeds United clearly saw Queens Park Rangers' backup centre-back as a breakthrough and consciously started to play here.

Silva has been passing the ball to this side again and again, while Lu Feng and Robert have also taken turns attacking his defensive zone, hoping to make him busy and make mistakes.

Such continuous pressure is effective.

In the 57th minute, Silva once again passed the football to the defense area where the Queens Park Rangers substitute central defender was located, Lu Feng went up to receive the ball, and the Queens Park Rangers substitute central defender also leaned in.

Unexpectedly, Lu Feng didn't stop the ball at all, but directly knocked the football back with his heel, and the football went behind the opponent.

At this time, Robert took advantage of the situation and threw the football into the penalty area!

Then facing another Queens Park Rangers defender who came up, Robert made a move to shoot.

The opposing central defender didn't dare not stop, and fell to the ground and stretched out his foot to intercept, but Robert kicked the ball back and dodged the opponent's defense.

He then fired a quick shot and the ball flew past the Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper's fingertips and into the back of the net.

"The ball is in! Wonderful collaboration between Landbreeze and Robert! ”

Wang Kai shouted excitedly.

In the 57th minute, Lu Feng assisted Robert's shot to give Leeds United a 2-0 lead at Queens Park Rangers on the road, and there was basically no shooting suspense in this game. Leeds United will certainly be able to beat Queens Park Rangers and qualify for the next round of the FA Cup.

The only suspense is, Lu Feng, this game, when will the goal be scored. ”

As a Chinese commentator and a fan of Lu Feng, all he cares about is Lu Feng's performance.

......

Following Robert's goal, Leeds continued to pounce on Queens Park Rangers' goal.

In fact, this Queens Park Rangers squad is very good, but unfortunately, the record is not good, which leads to a great drop in the confidence of the players.

Just like now, Leeds United are so reckless in pressing on the attack, but the counterattack of Queens Park Rangers is as good as Xiang, and there is no threat at all.

As a result, Leeds United's players are also playing more and more easily, and they are playing more and more highly.

In this game, Queens Park Rangers did not have a player in midfield who was quick and had outstanding individual skills.

Even if you know that Leeds are open behind you, the ball can be passed, but no one can run up.

However, Leeds United got a lot of chances after continuous pressure.

Eight minutes after Robert's goal, he had another chance in the box.

This time, however, his shot was saved by the Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper.

The ball flew out of the box behind him.

Lu Feng appeared on the spot where the ball landed, then stopped the ball, and then made a gesture to shoot from a distance, but it was just a feint, and after deceiving the opponent's back, he passed the ball to Silva on the other side.

He then continued to charge into the box.

Silva understood what he meant, and then passed the ball between the two Queens Park Rangers players, and Lu Feng happened to run to that position, and after receiving the ball again, he turned towards the goal.

This time, he picked up his feet again, but no one could interfere with him again!

Shot!

Lu Feng made an arc with the instep of his right foot, and the football rushed forward against the turf, bypassing goalkeeper Bout, who fell to the ground to save, and finally rolled into the goal by grazing the far goalpost!

The ball is in again!

Leeds United have a three-goal lead over Queens Park Rangers on the road.

"Land Breeze! Beautiful goal! Wang Kai was in China, jumping excitedly. He had just said before that he didn't know when Lu Feng would be able to score, but he didn't expect Lu Feng to score so quickly, which made him very happy.

'An assist from Silva, a shot from Lu Feng in front of the goal. This season, Silva is firmly in the top spot in the Championship assists charts. And Lu Feng is even more amazing in scoring goals.

These two talented players from Santos have led Leeds United closer to the title. ”

After seeing Lu Feng score, the Chinese fans who watched the live broadcast suddenly felt comfortable. They watched the ball in order to watch Lu Feng score, and in this game, it can be said that the three goals were related to Lu Feng.

The first goal was scored by Lu Feng for the top to make the opponent's central defender make a mistake, the second was assisted by Lu Feng, and the last one was scored by Lu Feng himself.

Such a performance naturally made Chinese fans rejoice.

After the goal, Lu Feng ran to Silva, who passed the ball to him, and the two hugged each other.

Other teammates also pounced on them and surrounded them.

With that goal, Leeds United, who lead by three goals, are almost certain to progress to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

This goal also killed the unrealistic fantasy in the hearts of Queens Park Rangers fans.

So, as the Leeds United players celebrated, the Queens Park Rangers fans erupted in huge boos.

However, such boos, Leeds United players, are almost immune.

There were only happy smiles on their faces, unaffected by the boos.

After Lu Feng's goal, Klopp raised his arms and chanted from the sidelines, and this season, with Leeds United set to upgrade, his best hope is to lead Leeds United to FA Cup glory.

At the moment, everything is going as he expected, how can he not be excited.

This Leeds United, since the arrival of Silva and Landwind, has seen the growth of strength. Add to that the upsets in the FA Cup this season. Judging from the current strength and form of Leeds United, this season, maybe Leeds United really has a chance to win the FA Cup.

Then, next season, Leeds United can play in the Europa League, and Klopp is a little excited when he thinks about it.
