Chapter 260: Lu Feng's Defense
Remember [Literature Bus] in one second, and read it for free without pop-ups!
Diego had already rushed to the edge of the penalty area and at the moment, there was not a single Leeds United player by his side.
The huge void in Leeds United's defence was undoubtedly exposed at this time.
Diego didn't hesitate in the slightest, and before the Leeds United players could react and make up for it, he sprinted towards the six-yard box.
As almost anyone can imagine, Diego will easily face Leeds United goalkeeper Reina.
Then, whether he can score or not depends on Reina's heroic performance.
Reina's gloved palms were already soaked with sweat at the moment.
It was an instinctive reaction to his body due to the intense pressure and tension, and at this time, Reyna was very hesitant to choose which direction to block.
Whether it's near or far, whether it's going to strike, or waiting in front of goal.
Just when Reina hadn't thought clearly and didn't make a decision at the first time, Diego, who had entered the penalty area, had already made adjustments to the football at his feet, and then, he slammed his right leg and wanted to shoot.
But when he pulled his right leg up and pulled it down, he found that the sensation coming from his foot was not right, it was not the familiar feeling of playing a football, but a strong pain, as if he was not playing a football, but an iron plate.
Diego then fell to the ground.
At the moment of falling, Diego was very puzzled, looked down at his side, but saw Lu Feng lying on the ground, covering his left leg, his face slightly distorted because of pain, but with a confident smile.
W, what the fuck is going on?
When did this damn Chinese kid appear here.
Diego had been focused on Reina's movements before, not noticing when Lu Feng appeared.
But Reina, who was opposite him, could see it clearly.
The moment when Diego adjusts the ball at his feet and prepares to shoot.
To the right behind Diego, a white lightning bolt was rushing towards himβit was Lu Feng who was sprinting at high speed.
Lu Feng was like a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, he returned from the midfield to the defense, and his speed was terrifying!
And just between the lightning and flint of Diego's feet, Lu Feng, who had already rushed towards Diego at high speed, directly came with a sliding shovel.
At that time, Lu Feng didn't know if he could tackle the football accurately, if he hadn't touched the football, but first touched Diego, not only would he get a yellow card or even a red card, but also give Ipswich a penalty.
But at that time, Lu Feng couldn't take care of so much.
Even if you don't tackle the football, the most you can do is give the opponent a penalty, and if you don't make a kick, the opponent is very likely to score at this time.
Diego had no idea that someone would be able to tackle the ball so quickly from behind to his side in the closing stages of the game, and when he entered the box, he already knew what the Leeds United players were defending.
In his opinion, at this time, it is simply impossible for a Leeds player to stop his shot.
Even at the moment when Lu Feng just appeared, there was wind behind him because of running, and he thought it was a teammate who was following up, so he didn't be vigilant.
Unexpectedly, behind him was not a teammate, but Lu Feng.
"Diego... Shoot, Land Breeze! Pretty! Nice tackle!
Oh my gosh, unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable! β
Seeing the scene of Lu Feng snatching the football away before Diego shot, Wang Kai suddenly had no way to calm down, and he could show his excitement at this time from the fact that he used three unbelievable in a row.
As a commentator, it is their professionalism that Taishan collapses in front of him without moving, but at this moment, his emotions are obviously a little out of control, and he is a little incoherent.
Under normal explanations, it is impossible for him to say a word three times, which would make him appear to be unskilled. But at the moment, no one cares about any of this.
"Land Breeze! Lu Feng grabbed Diego before he shoveled the football! β
Not only Wang Kai, but anyone who witnessed this scene was a little incredulous, and many spectators watching the game unconsciously widened their eyes and their jaws were about to fall to the ground.
They couldn't figure out how Lu Feng could appear at this time at this time, and he just happened to stop Diego's shot.
On the field, the players on both sides were also surprised by the sudden appearance of Lu Feng.
But soon, they recovered, because the game wasn't over yet, and it wasn't their turn to be surprised.
The first to recover was Eisenmond, who immediately rushed to the ball that was stabbed away by Lu Feng, and then kicked the ball off the sideline of midfield.
At this time, the Ipswich players who saw their teammates fall also reacted, some rushed to Diego, but more rushed to the referee.
"Foul! Land Breeze foul! Ipswich Town exclaimed.
"Back tackle! It's a foul, sir, and it should be a red card! β
"Penalty! It was an undisputed penalty! β
β......β
Ipswich players gathered around the referee in an attempt to influence his decision.
At the moment when Lu Feng kicked the ball away, Ipswich's players were not sure whether Lu Feng touched the ball first, but whether Lu Feng fouled or not, at this time, putting pressure on the referee was the most correct choice.
Seeing the actions of the Ipswich players, the Leeds United players also rushed up and explained to the referee.
"Sir, this is definitely not a foul move."
β......β
Faced with the excited expressions of the players on both sides, the referee made a gesture to signal the players on both sides to disperse, and then said.
"Gentlemen, please don't affect my decision, I need to watch the VCR to make a decision."
He was a little far away from Diego just now, and he didn't see Lu Feng's actions clearly for a while.
However, as the referee, he is well aware of the importance of a penalty in this final moment. Without seeing whether Lu Feng has fouled or not, it is always wrong to watch the replay before making a decision.
Hearing the referee say this, the players on both sides no longer dare to surround the referee, the referee has to judge according to the replay, they are blocking, but will be for colliding with the referee or interfering with the penalty to eat the card.
Just when the referee ran to the sidelines and was about to watch the replay, in the live broadcast of the game, Lu Feng ran back from the very beginning, and then to the scene of the successful tackle, which was completely displayed in the eyes of the audience.
"Oh, God!"
The British commentator couldn't help but marvel as he watched the replay.
Lu Feng's speed was simply too fast, and when he ran to Diego's side, the other party didn't react at all.
And, it was a nice tackle without a single foul! β
As he spoke, the slow motion of the Land Breeze tackle had been replayed twice in slow motion in the game footage.
Any fan can clearly see that at the moment when Diego was about to shoot, Lu Feng first touched the football and stabbed the football away, and then Diego kicked Lu Feng, lost his balance and fell to the ground, Lu Feng, no foul at all.
Similarly, after watching the replay, the referee also made his own decision, Lu Feng did not foul, and the game continued.
Diego and Lu Feng had already gotten up from the ground when the referee watched the replay.
As the parties, the two of them know very well whether there is a foul on this ball. Lu Feng's tackle is very beautiful, and it is not a foul at all.
At least, although he knew that the opponent was not a foul, Diego was still very unhappy, on the one hand, because the opponent prevented his chance to score, so that he could not equalize for Ipswich.
On the other hand, it was the nonchastic smile on Lu Feng's face that made Diego look as if he was mocking him.
"Hey... Brat. Diego stopped Lu Feng, who was limping and about to walk to the midfield.
Lu Feng turned his head and looked at the other party puzzled.
"You... Where did you come from? Diego looked at Lu Feng with a serious face.
Lu Feng laughed, he originally thought that Diego stopped him and wanted to say something threatening or scolding, but he didn't expect that what the other party cared about was actually this.
Lu Feng shrugged, pointed to the midfield, and said softly.
"From there!"
Diego looked in the direction of Lu Feng's finger and found that Lu Feng was pointing to a position near the midfield, and then, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief.
"You're coming back from midfield?"
"yes!" Lu Feng had a natural expression. "I saw you dribble the ball into the air, so I returned from the midfield, but I didn't expect it to be in time..."
Speaking of this, Lu Feng's face showed an expression of palpitation, obviously feeling the danger of the situation just now.
It's just that Diego is in no mood to pay attention to Lu Feng's expression at all, he is already stupid.
Diego heard the important information in Lu Feng's words, Lu Feng only returned from the midfield when he was about to enter the penalty area, and he only took a few seconds from entering the penalty area to preparing to shoot, in such a short time, Lu Feng actually caught up and stopped his shot?
Is this still human speed?
He didn't suspect that Lu Feng was lying at all, because there was no need for Lu Feng to lie, and after the game, the truth of the matter would be clear to everyone.
What's more, the voices of the two of them were not deliberately lowered, and many players on both sides heard their conversation, but when Lu Feng said this, none of them said anything to refute.
That can only mean that what Lu Feng said is true!
Oh, my God! Is there really anyone who can be so fast?
Diego suddenly fell into confusion, and stood in place in a daze, not coming back to his senses for a long time.
......
It didn't take long for the referee to blow the whistle again, and when the whistle sounded to mean the end of the game, many Leeds fans in the stands hugged each other excitedly in celebration.
After Lu Feng's beautiful return to defense, the morale of Ipswich players also fell to the bottom, and they had no intention of attacking, so naturally it was impossible to score again.
It was originally in the final stage of the game, and the players on both sides were equivalent to continuing to work hard with the last obsession and one breath.
But Lu Feng's successful return to defense this time completely made the breath of the Ipswich players disappear.
Without the blessing of faith, the lack of fitness in the final stage of the game was exposed to the Ipswich players.
They gasped one by one, even in the final stage, they still had time to organize another attack, maybe equaliser, but they didn't do it, just a perfunctory attack.
After Diego couldn't score, it was as if they had already decided to lose the game.
At the same time as the whistle sounded at the end of the game, many players on both sides sat on the ground due to physical exhaustion.
Of course, this does not include the land breeze.
Because, in the final stage of the game, Lu Feng had already been treated by the team doctor on the sidelines early.
Although he blocked Diego's shot, he was also kicked hard by Diego.
However, fortunately, after being examined by the team doctor, it was found that they were all minor injuries and there were not too many hidden dangers.
Lu Feng only got a big bruise on his left leg, and as for the rest, there was no more.
When the team doctor gave Lu Feng a simple treatment and suggested to Klopp that Lu Feng should have a good examination, the whistle at the end of the game had already sounded.
Hearing the whistle, Lu Feng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
This game is finally over.
Klopp had already walked up to Lu Feng and patted Lu Feng on the shoulder.
"Well done, Lu Feng, you've done a very nice job!
If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have won this game. β
"No!" Unexpectedly, Lu Feng shook his head very seriously. "Coach, you're wrong, this game is not my credit alone, it's everyone's credit, without my teammates working so hard, I wouldn't have been able to win the game alone."
"I'm glad you think so." Klopp smiled. "However, I'm curious, why are you involved in defense in this game, I remember, didn't I allow you not to participate in defense? Moreover, when did you actually improve your defensive ability so much, it was a beautiful tackle! β
Hearing this, Lu Feng touched his nose embarrassedly and said.
"This... Coach, in your tactics, every player is required to be involved in attack and defense, and I have been in the team for so long, and naturally I have learned how to defend.
If you want to integrate into the team and the team's tactical system, you naturally have to learn to defend and participate in defense. It's just that I've always been lazy, and I think that if I participate in defense, I will be more physically exhausted, and when it comes to the critical moment of the game, maybe I won't be able to run.
So, all this time, I didn't get involved in defense, and in this game, I was involved in defending when I needed to defend.
Coach, to be honest, though, I really don't like defending. β
"I see," Klopp nodded earnestly. Since you have your thoughts, then, I have decided that you can still not participate in defense in the future. β
"Really?" Lu Feng couldn't believe it.
"Really, as long as you can guarantee a goal, I'll give you this privilege!" Klopp laughed even more.
"Then it's a deal!" Lu Feng grinned happily. "I will definitely live up to the trust of the coach and try to score more goals."
