When Lu Feng scored, the originally noisy Birmingham home stadium became silent, and the fans of Birmingham seemed to be frightened by Lu Feng's wonderful goal.

Moments later, though, the Birmingham fans came back to their senses and let out a loud boo at Lu Feng.

The British commentator was playing a replay for the people watching the live broadcast, passionately commenting on the goal.

Lu Feng didn't seem to care at all about the boos of the Birmingham fans.

After the goal, Lu Feng turned to run to celebrate, but was stopped by the excited Silva halfway, and then pulled to the ground and pressed again.

The rest of his teammates also ran over from other places, even the central defenders, and everyone except the goalkeeper flocked to the front and pressed on Lu Feng's body like a stack of arhats.

Goalkeeper Reina also watched the Leeds United players celebrate, waving his fists wildly, as if the ball was scored by him.

The Leeds United players celebrated as if they had already killed the game!

"This ball is very crucial! When the score was behind and one person was sent off, Lu Feng used this goal to show everyone the tenacity of Leeds United! He kept hope alive for the team! Now Leeds United and Birmingham are back on the same page! ”

Wang Kai said excitedly.

Wang Kai is not a Leeds United fan, but with Lu Feng at Leeds United, he actually hopes that Leeds United will win the championship.

"But I don't think it's optimistic. Although the equaliser was achieved, Leeds United still had one man to spare, they were already at a physical disadvantage, and as the game time progressed, they would lose a lot of energy.

It's hard to say whether it will be able to survive at that time. Hopefully, in the coming time, Landbreeze will surprise Leeds United. ”

For Lu Feng, Wang Kai's heart is full of trust.

This goal is such a genius goal, how can it not impress him.

.....

After Lu Feng's goal, the Birmingham players looked at each other.

They were also a little surprised to be scored by Lu Feng for such a goal.

They knew that Lu Feng's personal ability was outstanding, but they didn't want to be able to stand out to this extent.

Under the close marking of two people, you can still turn around and get rid of it, and then run all the way to the long distance and hit the football into your own goal.

How should such a player defend well?

Why, such a player is opposite, his opponent, and not his teammate?

Many Birmingham players have such an idea in their hearts.

......

Lu Feng's goal sent the Leeds players a little frenzied with celebration, and it wasn't until the referee stepped in to let them clear up and return to their own half.

The game restarted at the end.

Birmingham are fighting for survival after all and were not simply knocked down by such a goal.

They didn't panic after conceding the goal, but continued to hold on to the box while picking up the tempo and using their fitness advantage to bring down Leeds.

Forcing Leeds United to be exhausted.

In response to this situation, Klopp immediately made adjustments.

He signaled the players not to follow the rhythm of the opponent, although the goal has just been scored at this time, the morale has improved, but don't think about scoring goals, it is better to hold the defense first and not lose the ball.

Everything will be further adjusted at halftime.

At this time, as long as you don't keep conceding goals.

Otherwise, if you concede another goal before the end of the first half, then there will be no adjustment at halftime.

In such a situation, the game was deadlocked, and no one scored again.

Birmingham could see that they wanted to score, but at this time Leeds United were all shrinking their defence, and in the face of such a bucket formation, they didn't have much to do for a while, except for wide crosses and long-range shots.

Wide crosses, Leeds United's two central defenders, the air defense is not weak, Birmingham almost difficult to grab the first place.

Long-range shots, because Leeds United pay attention to protection and interference in front of the penalty area, so long-range shots are not too effective.

Until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score remained unchanged, it was still 1-1.

Birmingham City are at home, drawing with Leeds United with a game in hand.

......

At the end of the first half, judging by the expressions on the faces of the players, Leeds United looked much better than when they had just conceded the penalty.

Lu Feng's goal gave them some confidence.

Overall, however, the situation has not been reversed.

Because they are still few people, fitness is still a big problem.

They don't know if they'll be able to make it to the end of the race.

Is there only one land breeze in the attack? No matter how strong Lu Feng is, can such a person pass the opponent's line of defense again?

The players at Birmingham are not fools, and next time, they may rather foul than let Lu Feng pass.

They also want to help Lu Feng, but they don't have enough power.

In the frontcourt, there is only one striker Lu Feng, and the midfielders don't dare to press too casually, you must know that when there is one less, all the players are under a lot of pressure. It is easy to step forward, in case the opponent breaks the ball and counterattacks, and after losing the ball, it is simply a difficult task to equalize.

When I returned to the locker room, under the influence of such emotions, although no one was depressed, no one was talking and laughing, and the mood was not high overall.

That's when manager Jurgen Klopp walked in.

He swept the locker room.

Then walked to the center of the locker room.

"I know it's harder than we thought. Although we equalised with a goal from Lu Feng, it didn't end there.

There are forty-five minutes left in the game, and in those forty-five minutes, anything can happen. Even if we are drawn now, we could end up losing this game due to lack of energy. ”

The assistant coach next to him, Bouak, turned his head to look at Schaaf, not quite understanding why he said this, specifically highlighting the team's difficulties, is he still afraid that the players are not under pressure enough. At this time, you shouldn't give the players pressure off and let them relax, right?

"I know that the team in front of me is very young and none of you have the experience to compete for the title. Even, before I didn't coach Leeds United, Leeds United's record made everyone wonder, and at the same time, there are still many voices in the media who are not optimistic about us, and I know all this.

But..."

At this, Klopp paused and smiled.

He turned his head to look at the players, who were already looking up at their manager, wanting to hear what was behind the "but".

"But, you don't have experience, I have. Can't you win this game? Upgrading as league champions and competing for the FA Cup, can't you do it? ”

Klopp asked rhetorically.

"Answer me, are you unable to do all this, if you can't do it, then this Leeds United, you are not welcome, I will replace you with players who can do all this.

Isn't it just one person behind? When I was in charge of Liverpool, I faced this kind of situation, but no one in that team gave up, and now, tell me, are you ready to give up? ”

After asking, he stared at his players.

Boisko on the side sighed imperceptibly, and Klopp turned on his "hair dryer" mode again.

The players, some looked at Jurgen Klopp, some looked at their teammates, they looked at each other.

Lu Feng suddenly stood up from his seat and looked at Klopp.

"Nope! Absolutely no giving up! We will win this game! ”

Lu Feng's enthusiasm and simplicity led the other teammates, and they all roared one after another: "We didn't give up!" ”

"We won't give up, we can do it!"

"Fight with them, we must win this game!"

Everyone's howls rang out in the locker room.

Seeing everyone's emotions rising, Klopp struck while the iron was hot, he waved his arms and shouted.

"So now, go back to the arena, show me your strength, prove to me, prove that you are not worse than others, prove your desire for the championship, and win this match!"

"We're going to win!" A group of people players echoed each other.

Of course, it is not enough to just shout slogans, and it is always necessary to make practical tactical adjustments, otherwise the mental strength will not last long.

So after shouting the slogan, Klopp made tactical adjustments to the team.

'We had one less man on the pitch than our opponents and from the final stages of the first half, you could see that Birmingham were aiming to speed up the pace and force us to expend more energy.

So we can't go with them. They have to be fast, we have to be slow, shrink the defence and not give them a chance to score. ”

The players were a little surprised, Klopp said this, everyone thought that Klopp would let everyone attack with all their might in the second half, but Klopp actually contracted the defense when everyone, what was going on?

Captain Adiyak asked with a brow of puzzled eyes.

"But coach, what about the goal? After shrinking the defence, how do we score? We were going to win, no goals were just draws. ”

Klopp smiled and nodded.

"That's right, of course we have to win, but shrinking the defence doesn't mean we give up attacking. In the second half, we counter-attacked, and as for the goal..."

With that, he turned his head and set his eyes on Lu Feng.

"I'll leave it to Lu Feng."

He pointed to the land breeze.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Lu Feng.

Lu Feng pointed at himself and asked in disbelief.

"Give it to me?"

Klopp nodded.

"Yes, that's you.

But unfortunately, for the rest of the game, your team-mates may not be able to provide you with much support, you have to face the entire defence of the opposition alone. Everyone else has to defend at the back, and even if we have an opportunity to attack, they basically won't go up.

You're going to score in a situation like this, I'm sure you can do it, use your speed, break down the Birmingham defence, you understand? ”

Lu Feng is very happy, the head coach fully recognizes my ability and has high hopes for me. I didn't expect that I had only joined Leeds United not long ago, and I was recognized by Jurgen Klopp, which is a great thing.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is embarrassing Lu Feng and asking Lu Feng to complete a task that is almost impossible to complete.

But for Lu Feng, this is the head coach's recognition of his strength. What is the happiest thing for Lu Feng, that is, to be recognized and praised by others, he enjoys this feeling immensely.

So Lu Feng stood up directly, raised his head with his chest straight, and replied in a loud voice.

"No problem! It's up to me in the second half, I promise to score! ”

Klopp smiled and looked at Lu Feng with appreciation.

He really didn't look at the wrong person, Lu Feng is the kind of player who has a big heart and will never admit defeat. Every head coach likes such a player, not to mention that Lu Feng's skills are so outstanding.

In today's Leeds United, someone like Lu Feng is simply too precious and we need his spirit so much.

No difficulties can defeat him, nor can they affect him, he will always face those incredible difficulties with the most vigorous fighting spirit.

"Good!" Klopp nodded. "I'm looking forward to your performance."

The atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became weird, although everyone recognized Lu Feng's strength, but it was really difficult to attack alone.

If it weren't for Lu Feng's goal in the first half, the players would have wondered if there was something wrong with Lu Feng and Klopp's heads.

However, after seeing Lu Feng complete such a beautiful goal, the Leeds United players did not dare to make up their minds easily.

In the first half, Lu Feng was able to score such a beautiful goal, who can guarantee that in the second half, Lu Feng will not score another goal.

Since the head coach chose to believe in Lu Feng, everyone had to do it.

I hope Lu Feng won't let everyone down.

Don't dare, it seems that since joining Leeds United, Lu Feng's performance has never disappointed.

.....

After the start of the second half, assistant coach Bouák asked Jurgen Klopp off the pitch.

"I admit that Lu Feng is very strong and combative, and the goal in the first half is also beautiful, but it will be a little too reckless to pin your hopes on him alone.

Lu Feng has scored such a goal in the first half, and Birmingham will definitely focus on Lu Feng in the second half, and his room to play will definitely not be too big. ”

Klopp laughed and shook his head.

"I don't know if Lu Feng can finish it, and even if it can't be done, it's not unacceptable that this game ended in a draw.

I just want to see the potential of this Leeds team, I want to see the desire of these players to win, a small Championship title, it's not my goal at all, you know. ”

Klopp's answer made Boisko stunned for a moment, and after a long time, Bouko nodded heavily.

"Well, you're right, it's true that we're not aiming for the Championship title."

Klopp put his arms around Boucot's neck and whispered.

"Don't worry, old man. The Championship title is of no use to me, just a second-tier title. As long as Leeds United can secure promotion this season, my real goal is to win the FA Cup. ”

Boisko was taken aback by Klopp, even though he had a guess in his mind.

"The FA Cup is the winner, but there are Premier League giants, and it is not so easy to win the championship."

"So what."

Klopp let go of the other man and looked at the field.

"The strength of this Leeds United team, even in the Premier League, is not weak, and it is fully capable of competing for the FA Cup title. Those giants also have the problem of multi-front battles, and they will not send the whole main force, and the hope of winning the championship is still not small. ”

"Okay!"

Boisko thought for a moment and admitted that Klopp had a point.

"However, what will happen to the next game if the players' fitness is squeezed so much?"
