Chapter 232: Lu Feng Can Also Defend?
Klopp stood on the sidelines with a sad expression.
He was thinking about whether to replace the main force and rest.
Leeds were able to match Bristol City with the number of people on the pitch and score two goals, which was entirely the result of the players' hard work.
However, the result of such hard work is that the physical fitness of the players has declined greatly.
The defensive pressure of several people in the front field is relatively small, and the physical fitness seems to be quite abundant, but the few people in the back line and the midfield seem to have been physically exhausted.
Especially the captain Adiyak, with Leeds United missing a defender, Adiyak, as a midfielder, has undoubtedly increased his defensive responsibilities a lot.
In addition, he has to participate in the attack again, and he is a little older, and his physical problems are the most serious.
Just now, he was already cramping, which is not a good sign.
Although after this round of league games, it will be the national team break, and Leeds United does not have many internationals to take a good rest, but such a tiring game is bound to have a different degree of impact on the players' next schedule.
Is it worth it to fight this game like this?
In the previous games, Klopp did not make any substitutions because he still had hopes and hopes.
But now there are only 10 minutes left in the game, and no amount of hope and hope can be contained in these 10 minutes.
Even if Leeds could score another goal, the score would be 3-3, and they could still only win one point.
This point is really dispensable for the current Leeds United.
Even with that one less point, Leeds still hold on to their lead at the top of the table.
And that extra point, not three, makes no difference to Blackburn. Originally, they were behind on goal difference, even if it was the same point, Leeds United won the championship, and all of them, only three points can affect the championship situation of the two teams.
Then it is better to replace the main players, let them rest well, save their physical energy, and prepare for the next games.
But if we replace the main team at this time, it is equivalent to sending a signal to the team - we admit defeat in advance and don't fight anymore.
Yes, an early replacement of the main forces is tantamount to an early surrender. So, wouldn't it be in vain that he had worked so hard to say so much in the locker room before?
The thought of this made Klopp unhappy.
In the first half, he was beaten so badly, he lost so aggrieved, and in the second half, he finally got a little better, the blood was boiling, and he saw a little hope, but he still had to admit defeat in the end?
Klopp was not reconciled.
The assistant coach next to him, Boucot, asked softly, "Do you want to make a substitution, the players' physical strength seems to be a little overwhelmed." ”
Klopp shook his head and made a decision in his mind.
"Change, replace Adiyak, and then put on an attacking midfielder, this game, even if you lose, you have to lose by standing!"
......
Lu Feng on the pitch did not know how the manager off the pitch judged the situation of the team, but he also knew that the current situation was not good for Leeds United.
Teammates, it seems that some of them can't run.
With one less person and a lack of physical strength, this situation means that Leeds United is likely to have no way to reverse it.
In Lu Feng's heart, he was very unwilling.
With ten minutes left and the team trailing by one goal, do we have to watch the Bristol City players celebrate their victory at Leeds United's home stadium?
This can't work, Lu Feng will never allow such a scene to happen. There are still ten minutes left in the game, and there is still enough time for him to find a way to score.
It doesn't matter if he scores, or if he assists someone else's goal.
Thinking of this, he looked at the Bristol City players and paid close attention to the situation on the field.
.....
With ten minutes left in the game, Bristol City seemed to be even less focused on defense, and these Bristol City players actually wanted to score.
Perhaps they feel that Leeds United's attack is no longer a threat at this time, or perhaps they have also noticed a decline in the fitness of Leeds United players.
The two goals scored by Leeds United before were a great insult to them, so in the final stage of the game, Bristol City launched a frantic attack on the Leeds United goal as in the first half.
Since they could score in the first half, there's no reason why they couldn't score in the second half. Aren't Leeds United able to score, they have to tell Leeds United players that Bristol City can naturally score goals too.
Seeing such a scene, Lu Feng was very happy. For Lu Feng, he wants Bristol City to continue to think like this, because that means they will have room to attack.
But when Bristol City have the ball, they have to wait for their time.
But time was running out. Lu Feng didn't have much patience to wait.
Although Bristol City has a few more defenders, these people are also pressing, and behind them is also a large area of vacancy.
At this time, if you can cut off the football directly, isn't it the best opportunity to counterattack?
Lu Feng looked around, relying on his teammates to help? So when to go, in case, in case Bristol City score again? There is still some hope for one goal behind, two goals behind, and there is little game time left, so there is really no way to chase.
It's not up to your teammates to decide what they do on defense.
What if you could cut off the ball and attack? This thought popped into Lu Feng's mind.
In fact, Lu Feng has always felt that he is not a person who is good at defense. So he can run hard in defense and block, but in practice he can play a very limited role.
Because of this, Lu Feng has the privilege of not having to participate in defense,
Of course, in fact, many times, Lu Feng will also force the opponent's midfield and backfield players, but that is just to complete the task.
You can't let him, just watch the other party, easily take the ball to organize and pass it.
He never thought that he should be very good at defense, because he has a specialization in the art industry, and what he is best at is organizing offense, defending this kind of thing, just trust his teammates.
Football is a team game, if Lu Feng can do everything in advance, then what do other players do.
But now, Lu Feng hopes that his defense can be better, at least to be able to let him cut the ball directly from the opponent's feet, and then counterattack.
Generally speaking, if he wants to fight back, he has to wait for his teammates to cut off the ball. Then pass the ball to yourself, pass it out yourself, or dribble the ball to the opponent's penalty area.
But in this way, there will be a lot more passes, and it may not be successful. The opposing players are not stupid and will defend and intercept.
However, if you can cut off the football directly, you can save several processes and improve the success rate of counterattacks. Whether it's a one-stop show by yourself or handing over the football to Anthony in front, it's a good choice.
So what if the ball is broken? Can you do it yourself?
Although his body has been honed for a long time and there is special training arranged by the team, he is still not a very good strength player, he is good at speed.
So it's impossible for him to wrestle with each other like those defenders.
But defense shouldn't be defense only when it's physical contact, right? Lu Feng suddenly remembered his friend Lin Hai, that kid's body is not strong, but his defensive ability is much stronger than his own.
How did he do it?
Lu Feng hurriedly thought in his heart.
......
After thinking for a moment, Lu Feng had an answer in his heart.
Lu Feng looked left and right, imprinted all the situation around him in his mind, and now it was Bristol City in possession, ready to attack.
Lu Feng felt the overlook in his mind, and suddenly thought that at this time, if he was a Bristol City player. Now that you're getting the ball, how are you going to organise your attack?
It's clear that Leeds are very tight in the middle of the pitch right now. So basically they move the football to the side. However, if you also encounter Leeds United on the wing, you will have to pass the ball to the middle and then move to the other wing.
Thinking so, Lu Feng saw that the Bristol City midfielder really passed the football to the full-backs on the wing.
Leeds immediately had a player step up and stand in front of him.
The Bristol City midfielder ran to the full-back, although he was also flanked by a Leeds United player.
If the Bristol City full-back had passed the ball back to the midfielder, there was a good chance that the ball would have been cut off by a Leeds United player.
So if it's yourself at this time, how do you deal with it?
Lu Feng looked at this scene and asked himself in his mind.
Of course, I will not pass the football back, but will pass it to a team in the air.
He turned his head to look for it, and sure enough, he saw a Bristol City player in the gap in the ribs, a retreating Bristol City striker!
However, the Bristol City full-back did not pass the football immediately, he seemed to be hesitating, wondering if he still wanted to pass the football back to the midfielder, after all, the Bristol City midfielder was raising his hand to ask for the ball.
Lu Feng suddenly realized that this was an opportunity for himself.
If the Bristol City full-back ends up passing the ball to a dropping striker, wouldn't he be able to stop it if he was in his passing lane?
Thinking of this, Lu Feng slammed into the gap between the Bristol City full-backs and forwards.
Sure enough, Bristol City found it difficult to get the ball back to the midfielder and saw his own striker team-mate 10 metres away, so he turned around and pushed the ball over.
But the ball didn't fall at the feet of the Bristol City striker, but was stopped by a foot that suddenly stretched out!
Then Lu Feng appeared in the field of vision of the Bristol City striker, and Lu Feng was like a fast horse, cutting off the pass horizontally!
"It's Lu Feng! Nice break! ”
Before the Bristol City striker could react, Lu Feng immediately turned around and brought the football forward, and Leeds United switched from defense to attack!
At this time, the players of Bristol City woke up like a dream and turned to the land breeze.
Bristol City's midfielders and strikers, one after the other, wrapped Lu Feng, and they didn't expect that Lu Feng, who had never been involved in defense, would retreat to this place to break the ball.
The position that Lu Feng is now retreating from is even further back than Silva's position, which is simply too surprising to them.
The Bristol City striker behind Lu Feng naturally has only the life of eating ashes.
Although the Bristol City striker is not slow and can be regarded as a fast striker in the Championship, compared to the Land Wind that has already been launched, his speed is like the speed comparison between a Wuling Hongguang and a Ferrari, which is completely incomparable.
As for the Bristol City midfielder who pounced on Lu Feng, Lu Feng also used a very simple method - the ball was divided.
Lu Feng's speed was too fast, so fast that the Bristol City midfielder knew what tricks Lu Feng used, but he couldn't stop Lu Feng.
When he reacted and could use a foul to stop Lu Feng, he stretched out his hand, but instead of grabbing Lu Feng's jersey, he grabbed a handful of air.
After Lu Feng passed the midfield of Bristol City, the defenders of Bristol City also hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to get the football before Lu Feng.
It seems that he is much closer to the football that Lu Feng is walking than Lu Feng.
However, no one is sure that the Bristol City defenders can get the football before the land breeze.
When it comes to the speed of the Land Breeze, the Leeds United players naturally know better than the Bristol City players.
After they saw Lu Feng pass the Bristol City midfielders who were blocking him, the midfielders of Leeds United also moved, and one by one they showed their last strength and ran forward desperately.
They knew that Lu Feng would definitely get the football before the opposing defender, and at that time, whether Lu Feng wanted to pass the ball or pass someone, someone needed to answer him.
For a moment, the whole stadium seemed to be silent, and only the rapid breathing of Leeds United fans and the footsteps of Lu Feng running could be heard.
Lu Feng did not disappoint all those who supported him, his speed was still the fastest, and Lu Feng managed to get the football before the Bristol City defenders.
The scene of the previous Bristol City backfield players being passed away appeared in front of the eyes of the Bristol City defenders, and he already knew that he would not be able to stop Lu Feng with such a defense alone, so after approaching Lu Feng, he slammed into Lu Feng fiercely.
Don't you like speed, then I won't give you this chance!
The Bristol City defender thought very clearly, this place is far from the goal and penalty area of Bristol City, and it doesn't matter if he is fouled here, even if he is awarded a free kick by the referee and receives a yellow card, but he can't let Lu Feng pass him.
Once he's passed, there's a big open field behind him, and he doesn't feel like his teammates can quickly get in place.
How is it possible to fight speed with Land Breeze?
As a result, Lu Feng only received the football one second, and the next second, he was knocked to the ground by a Bristol City defender.
The two men rolled on the ground twice, and the Bristol City defenders heard the referee's whistle with great anticipation, but it didn't sound for half a day.
Could it be that the referee thinks this is a reasonable collision? There's no reason why, even if it's in the UK, it's a real foul.
He couldn't help but wonder, and quickly looked up, he was not only looking at the referee, but also looking for football.
He saw that the referee had put the whistle in his mouth, but made a favorable gesture to signal the game to continue.
What's going on, balls?
