Chapter 277: The Final Counterattack
Remember [Literature Bus] in one second, and read it for free without pop-ups!
In Newcastle manager Paul's view, the land breeze is the plug-in that Klopp opened, and it is not reasonable at all.
Originally, the overall strength of the two teams is about the same, and Newcastle has taken the initiative in tactics, it stands to reason that the current situation on the field should be Newcastle occupy a firm initiative, and Newcastle should be the one who leads the score.
But no matter how good Paul's tactical arrangements are, the key is that an unreasonable Lu Feng came to him, and with his super personal strength, he stubbornly completed the hat trick, which directly made all his tactical arrangements come to naught.
It's excessive!
It seems that when Huashan was talking about swords, the other party was not holding a sword, but a pistol... Nima's, how are you going to kick this!
......
After Leeds took the lead again, morale was higher and the players seemed to relax.
It was the goal that made them realise that they were all but sealed in the FA Cup, with less than ten minutes left and it was almost impossible for Newcastle to score two goals to equalise.
You know, it is not difficult for Newcastle to score two goals, the difficulty is to prevent Leeds United from scoring when they score.
This, what are you kidding, didn't you see Lu Feng in such a brave state?
Any team, any player, as long as they relax, tends to play at a better level than usual.
Not to mention these professional players at Leeds United.
After seeing the hopes of winning the title, the Leeds United players were enjoying their football as if they were entertaining in the game.
Of course, that's not the point, the point is that Leeds are now two goals ahead of Newcastle!
A two-goal lead has made Leeds more comfortable and it looks like Newcastle have no chances left.
They are firmly in control of the situation on the field.
Newcastle's players also seem to be a bit discouraged.
Originally, when the goal was pulled back, the whole Newcastle team seemed to see hope.
But Lu Feng's third goal, like a demon, killed their hope with his own hands.
Of course, although the Newcastle players already felt that the chances of winning this game were slim, they were still playing the game diligently, and by the way, it will be interesting to see if they can wait for the opportunity.
Waiting for Leeds to relax.
In case Leeds themselves make a mistake at the last minute, because they are too excited to make a mistake, who can say clearly.
From the 85th minute, Jurgen Klopp also began to make substitutions, and he used up two substitutions in succession.
The big picture is set, and getting the substitutes on the pitch to enjoy such an important moment is a way to motivate the team. Young players can also come out and accumulate some experience points to prepare for becoming the main player of the team in the future.
Anthony was full of energy when he came on the pitch – he wanted to do well in such an important game, and if he could score in such an important game, Anthony felt like he would have made a lot of money.
And Anthony, who replaced the next game, was Lu Feng.
Seeing that this game was coming to an end and Leeds United still had a two-goal lead, Klopp thought about it and simply replaced Lu Feng in advance, so that Lu Feng could enjoy the applause and cheers of the fans.
Sure enough, when Lu Feng trotted to Anthony, the Leeds United fans in the entire stadium applauded Lu Feng.
Not only Leeds United fans, but even some Newcastle fans also applauded Lu Feng.
Although it was because of the Land Breeze that Newcastle were going to lose this game and lose this FA Cup title.
But Newcastle fans also have to admit that Lu Feng's performance in this game is very good, and it is completely worthy of their applause.
Newcastle fans still have this demeanor.
It's a pity that this is the FA Cup final after all, and if it was just an ordinary league, there would have been more Newcastle fans applauding Land Breeze.
Fans also appreciate players who have played well, not to mention that there is no deep hatred between Newcastle and Leeds United, which is also normal.
......
When he saw Lu Feng being replaced by Klopp, Newcastle coach Paul's eyes suddenly lit up!
Klopp's substitution of Land Breeze at this time means something, it means that Leeds United are starting to slacken and think they have won.
But the game is not over yet, and Leeds United celebrated too early.
It's indeed a good thing to let Lu Feng enjoy the applause and cheers of the fans, but did Klopp ever think that after Lu Feng is gone, Leeds United's attacking threat will be much less?
This, perhaps, is Newcastle's chance!
Thinking of this, Paul couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly gave orders to his team and made new tactical arrangements.
......
Leeds did slack up a bit, they were already two goals ahead and they won the game.
They were somewhat carelessly upside down at the back.
In the 88th minute, Gomez was a little lighter when he passed the ball from the wing to the middle.
Originally, it wasn't a big deal, and Hernandez, who received the ball, just ran two steps back.
Hernandez did run back – after seeing that Gomez's pass was running low, he dropped back to catch the ball.
However, at this time, the problem of Leeds United players relaxing came.
Because of the early two-goal lead, and Enniucastle did not have any decent attack in the final stage, the whole Leeds United team was thinking about how to celebrate the championship at this time, and they were a little absent-minded.
Hernandez, too.
Originally, at this time, Hernandez should have accelerated to catch up with the football and control the football in advance, but Hernandez was unhurried, as if he was walking on the field.
He felt that he could get the ball by himself anyway, so why run so fast.
Just as Hernandez thought so, and had just taken two steps, a figure passed by him, followed by a gust of wind.
It was Newcastle's striker, the striker Mika, who equalized for Newcastle, who didn't know when he appeared, and ran directly past Hernandez, and the target was football.
Hernandez realized that he was still playing, and hurriedly accelerated, trying to catch up with Mika, but it was too late at this time, Mika's speed had already rushed, and now he received the football again, how could it be that Hernandez was chasing him.
......
"Mika! This ball is beautiful! Hernandez didn't expect Mika's speed to be so fast!
Newcastle made a beautiful break up front, come and see this opportunity! ”
Like Hernandez, when Mika first got the football, the Leeds players didn't react at all.
Didn't Newcastle give up in this game, and the rest of the time, isn't everyone just going through the motions and wasting time, is it already garbage time?
Why, by this time, Newcastle had also completed a steal in frontcourt, was there a mistake.
Immediately, they came to their senses and hurriedly pounced on Mika, who won the ball in his own half and was still a threat to the Leeds United goal.
In the final stages of the race, don't capsize in the gutter.
Seeing Newcastle actually complete the ball in front, Leeds United fans were in an uproar - as Leeds United players thought, they didn't expect Newcastle to be so desperate at the last minute.
Why did you go earlier, why did everyone think you gave up, and then you started to work hard again, it's really troublesome.
It's only a few minutes, is it still too late?
Although they felt disdain for Newcastle's desperate posture, they still had some faint worries.
Mika scored a goal for Newcastle last time out, and now, he won't score again.
Don't say it, it's really possible, Lu Feng's state in this game is very good, and this Mika's state doesn't seem to be bad.
Could it be that at the last minute, your own team still has to concede a goal?
That's so unpleasant, isn't it?
......
Clarke and Eisenmond, the two central defenders, saw Mika break the ball, and their first reaction was to retreat, not giving Mika space to sprint - countless land wind encounters in training, about how to deal with speed forwards, Leeds United's central defenders, still a little excited.
However, the somewhat panicked Leeds defenders stepped back too quickly, giving Mika a big enough gap.
Mika didn't continue to dribble forward, but took the opportunity to shoot with his feet!
Although it was about 344 meters away from the goal, Mika felt that if he kicked it in this place, he was likely to score a goal.
I don't know where the confidence comes from, but as a striker, he still trusts his feelings.
So, with a bang, the football deformed under Mika's force and then released its energy, and then flew towards the goal!
Eisenmond knew something was wrong when he saw Mika round his right leg, but it was too late for him to pounce forward, and he could only watch as Mika's football flew past him in an instant!
......
Hernandez was still chasing back after being cut off by Mika, and when he saw that both Clarke and Eisenmond had chosen to drop back in the first place, he felt bad.
He was wondering if the opponent would take advantage of this opportunity to shoot from a distance when he saw the opponent's striker Mika kick the football, and then the football flew straight towards the goal!
I'll go... Hernandez is so depressed, he is really afraid of something, so he will come to anything.
......
Reina took to the air to keep out Lu Feng's shot.
But his movements were still too slow in front of the football that Lu Feng shot out with all his might!
By the time he got up and stretched out his hand, the ball had hit the net behind him!
"Oh! Oh, my God!
Unbelievable, Mika scored another goal for Newcastle!
In the final stage of the game, the gap between Newcastle and Leeds United became a goal again, and everything became suspenseful again. ”
The British commentator's voice instantly became louder.
Although the goal is not yet enough to help Newcastle win, it is not good news for Leeds United to turn the deficit into a goal before the game is over.
Maybe, if the other party does equalize, it will be embarrassing.
Because Leeds United is here, but Lu Feng has been replaced.
"Hell!" Seeing the goal on the sidelines, Klopp cursed in a low voice.
Seeing that the game was about to end, Newcastle chased back a goal.
With only one goal left and who knows what's going to happen in the next few minutes!
He had such concerns.
At this time, he regretted a little that he replaced Lu Feng, if Lu Feng is still there, he doesn't need to worry at all at this time, the rest of the time, as long as Newcastle dares to press out to attack, then Leeds United can guarantee that they can score before Newcastle.
But now, Lu Feng, sitting on the bench.
Klopp glanced at Lu Feng, and saw Lu Feng frowning tightly, with a serious face, thinking that he was also aware of the seriousness of the problem.
It's just that Lu Feng can't do anything now.
......
After seeing Mika's shot score, the Newcastle manager excitedly stood up from the dugout and danced with his hands.
He succeeded, and Leeds relented.
Now, with only one goal left between the two sides, Newcastle have a big chance to equalise in the final minute and send the game to extra-time or even a penalty shootout.
Unexpectedly, he waited for a whole opportunity, and it was only when the game was about to end that he waited for such an opportunity.
......
After Mika's goal, he did not celebrate, but ran into the Leeds United goal, and in the stunned eyes of the Leeds United players, he scooped up the football and ran to the center circle, signaling the Leeds United players to hurry up and kick off.
It can be seen that Newcastle are not satisfied with scoring a goal in the face of the party, but really want to equalize.
They wanted to send the game to extra time in the final stages of the game.
At the same time, Paul's attitude of changing two attacking players in one breath is even more suspicious, and Newcastle even wants to reverse Leeds United in regular time!
This sudden change in the situation on the field made everyone who watched this game feel dumbfounded.
No one thought that the game, which thought that there was no suspense, actually made the suspense alive in the last few minutes of the game.
And the most critical reason for the suspense is not that Newcastle are too tenacious or anything.
Rather, Leeds United themselves were careless.
Thinking that after taking a two-goal lead, the opponent will give up resistance and begin to relax. As a result, the opportunity was seized by the other party, which can only be blamed on Leeds United themselves.
The second goal just conceded was caused by Leeds United's own backfield passing error, otherwise, even if Newcastle is strong and wants to score, it will not be so easy.
As for now, Newcastle's morale is up, it's really hard to say.
Wang Kai shook his head and commented on everything that was happening now.
'After a two-goal lead, Leeds were too careless and the players were too relaxed.
You know, Leeds United is only a two-goal lead, and when the referee doesn't blow the whistle for the end of the game, the lead is just a lead, and it doesn't mean the final score.
Now, in the final stretch, Leeds United will be in a tough position.
With the Land Breeze out of the pitch and no one to worry about Newcastle at the back when they attack, they will be able to spare most of their energy to attack.
Newcastle, who are attacking with all their might, can be blocked by Leeds United's defence, which is a question.
If Leeds couldn't stop it, they were really equalized by Newcastle, and in extra time, maybe they would really be reversed by Newcastle.
I don't know, at that time, Klopp will regret replacing Lu Feng in advance.
Of course, it's too early to say this, everything depends on whether Leeds can stop Newcastle's attack in the remaining minutes. ”
