Chapter 248: Half Time Ends

"Oh, Lu Feng and Robert's relationship is back to normal?" Seeing a scene not far away on the field, Klopp asked softly.

"I don't know, but they have stayed at the training ground together many times after training, and it is estimated that the relationship eased at that time." Boisko thought for a moment and replied.

"That's a good thing!" Klopp nodded. "Robert and Lu Feng are both very good strikers, and if there is a tacit understanding between the two of them, like the tacit understanding between Lu Feng and Silva, we will undoubtedly be more threatening in the Premier League next season."

Bouko smiled, "This season is not over yet, you are thinking about next season, don't you think it's a little early?" โ€

"Is there one?" Klopp shrugged. "Do you think we can't get promoted this season?"

Bouรกk was stunned and thought about the current Championship standings, unless Leeds United lose all in the next league games, otherwise they have firmly locked up the promotion spot.

Klopp was not too wrong to think so.

'However, the problems in the middle and back are the most important problems compared to the front field, and this back line is really shaky. Boisko thought for a moment and added.

"Of course I know that." Klopp shrugged, Bouco could see the problem, he naturally saw it a long time ago. 'I've asked the club to keep an eye on the centre-backs, Adiyak can play in midfield, but the centre-backs need to be changed.

However, you also know that in these days, a good defender is more difficult to find than a good striker. โ€

Hearing this, Boisko could only sigh. Yes, in world football, it is really difficult to find good defenders, especially for teams like Leeds United, and the possibility of buying a good defender is too small.

The team's reputation is not enough, it's a hard injury.

Thinking of this, Boisko didn't have the strength to speak, just stared at the court.

Perhaps, Leeds United won the FA Cup, and if they can participate in the Europa League, the recruitment work will be much easier.

I don't know who will win the next game, Liverpool or Newcastle, if nothing else, Liverpool has the best chance of winning the game.

If you meet Liverpool, this Leeds United team is really a bit hanging. The difference in strength between the two sides is still not small.

......

After a three-goal lead for Leeds United thanks to Robert's goal.

Wolves manager Camais on the sidelines couldn't sit still, trailing by three goals in the first half, and it doesn't need to be said much about what that means for anyone who knows the ball.

He kept signaling from the sidelines, signaling his players to press boldly and attack and try to score a goal.

There are chances to be two goals down, but with three goals down, it will be a little too difficult to equalise.

It's just that Leeds United's three goals seemed to make Wolves stupid, and until the end of the first half, Wolves did not have a decent comeback.

On the contrary, Leeds United, with the morale of the players, almost penetrated the Wolves goal again.

Had it not been for the fact that the goalframe had denied Silva's long-range shot, the spectators watching the game would have gone straight to sleep.

But in fact, the three-goal lead score can also make Leeds United fans go to sleep with peace of mind.

"The first half is over! With a brace from a free-kick by Land Breeze and a header from Robert, Leeds led Wolves 3-0.

This score has almost announced that Leeds United has half of the threshold for the final. In the second half of the game, as long as Leeds don't make mistakes themselves, then we can see Leeds United in the final.

It's hard to imagine that a Championship team actually played Wolves, who are at the top of the Premier League, like this.

Leeds United is worthy of being the biggest dark horse in this FA Cup, and the strength of the dark horse is undoubted.

I'm looking forward to Leeds United's performance in the final. โ€

The British commentator simply ignored that the game was not over and was already sure that Leeds United would qualify for the final.

In fact, anyone who has watched the game, thinks so.

The reason why this FA Cup semi-final is such an unexpected score is not that Leeds United played well, but that Wolves played too badly.

With Wolves' own form, it is simply impossible to win Leeds United.

Unless, in the second half, they can make a noticeable difference.

And even if Wolves are at their best, who can guarantee that Leeds will not score again? Leeds United are not in bad form.

A three-goal lead would have been the end of a game in a normal game. Considering that this game is an FA Cup semi-final, the importance is self-evident, and at the same time, Wolves are stronger than Leeds United, the commentator is more conservative, otherwise, he would have pronounced the death sentence of Wolves.

......

Accompanied by the voice of the commentator and the cheers and applause of the Leeds United fans in the stadium, the players from both sides walked off the pitch.

Lu Feng and Silva walked side by side, the two were talking and laughing, and they didn't know what they were talking about, but judging by the relaxed expressions on their faces, they were in a good mood.

Of course, whoever leads the opponent by three goals in the first half will be in a good mood.

Lu Feng is talking to Silva about the opponent for the next match.

"Who do you think we're going to meet in the next round? Liverpool or Newcastle? I'd like to meet Liverpool, I haven't played against a big team yet, so I really want to experience that feeling. โ€

Silva smiled and shook his head. 'I'd like to meet Newcastle, not that I'm scared of Liverpool, but we have a better chance of winning the title with Newcastle.

That means we can play in the Europa League, the Europa League, the European competition, against teams from other countries, aren't you excited?

But against Liverpool, maybe we won't win the title. โ€

"yes." Lu Feng scratched his head, looking confused. "It's better to meet Newcastle, Liverpool, you can play as you like next season.

The FA Cup winner is also good! โ€

Silva was speechless, Lu Feng's big heart was really unexpected.

......

In the dressing room, Jurgen Klopp first praised the performance of the Leeds United players, saying that they had done very well in the first half.

Just when the Leeds United players were all smiles on their faces, ready to receive more praise from Klopp, Klopp's face sank, and his voice changed, and he talked about other things.

'It's a joy to have a three-goal lead in the first half, but don't think it's a win if you have a three-goal lead. It is not uncommon in football history to lead by three goals and then lose a game. โ€

Jurgen Klopp's expression was very serious, and a stern gaze swept over the faces of the Leeds United players, and only a few players dared to look at him in the face of his gaze.

"I won't talk about other teams' three-goal comebacks, we have done a three-goal comeback ourselves, and that game against Bristol City, I'm sure you all still have the impression.

In that game, we were one person behind and we were able to come back in the end. As for the Wolves team, there is no numerical disadvantage, once the opponent finds the form, the result of the game is difficult to say.

Even if we are leading now, you must not forget that the strength of the other side is far stronger than ours.

Remember, at any given time, the game is only over when the referee blows the final whistle.

So, in the second half, I hope you can continue the form of the first half and give your all to the game, and whoever dares to be careless will not have to play for the rest of the season. โ€

Klopp's words made the hearts of the Leeds United players present jump slightly, and at the same time, they also heard from Klopp's words that he attached importance to this game.

In fact, there was no need for Klopp to remind them that the Leeds United players knew what the game meant.

It's an FA Cup semi-final, and the winner will advance to the final, and there will be only one and a half games left before lifting the trophy.

Everyone worked so hard, what is it for, isn't it just to win the championship, at this time, if it falls short because of negligence, these Leeds United players will not forgive themselves in their hearts.

On Leeds' side, Jurgen Klopp was reminding his players to be careful in the second half, while the Wolves dressing room, not far from the Leeds United dressing room, was a different story.

If the atmosphere in the Leeds dressing room is one of joy and excitement.

And in the Wolves dressing room, it was a gloomy cloud.

Wolves manager Camais looked a little helpless in the face of the players whose morale had fallen to the bottom, watching them hang their heads and have a confused expression on their faces.

He had a lot of plans before the game, but none of them matched what happened today.

He knew about the war of words between Lu Feng and many players in the team before the game, and he also knew that the war of words between Lu Feng and the players would affect the mentality of the players, but he didn't care at all.

Before the game, he also guessed that Lu Feng might score in this game, after all, after the opponent joined Leeds United and when he was in Santos, the goal efficiency was simply terrifying.

With such a striker, there is simply no possibility for the opponent to score, unless the opponent is not in good shape, or the opposing team is not in good shape.

But obviously, in this game, Leeds United is in full form, and Lu Feng's form is even hotter.

Even if they guessed before the game that Lu Feng would score, when Lu Feng did score twice with a free kick, and at the same time attracted the attention of the Wolves defenders and allowed teammate Robert to score.

Camais had to admit that he still underestimated the strength of Lu Feng, and at the same time, he also overestimated the mental capacity of the Wolves players.

Initially, when Lu Feng scored the first goal, Carmay was still calm, thinking that Lu Feng's goal would make the Wolves players become alert and win the game seriously.

But unexpectedly, Lu Feng's first goal was not the end, but only the beginning, and then, Leeds United used two more goals to completely crush the will of the Wolves players to resist.

This, even him, was unexpected.

Moreover, there is also a deep sense of powerlessness in Camais's heart.

Even if Wolves are indeed better than Leeds United, three goals down is really enough to kill the scoreline.

Camais didn't know how to sum up the first half, and in his opinion, Wolves had a good performance except for Diego's two free-kicks that gave Land Breeze chances at the beginning, but that's it, three goals behind.

How do you explain this to the players?

When Camay was in the middle of a tangle, the Wolves players were no better than their coaches, and Lu Feng's first two free-kicks were a bit of a surprise, but Robert's goal completely stunned them.

Only then did they find out that Leeds United was not the only one with Lu Feng, and their previous focus was on Lu Feng, ignoring other Leeds United players.

And now, Robert's goal is undoubtedly telling the Wolves players that Leeds are not just the Land Breeze who is playing well, but anyone else.

The 3-0 score was not just luck.

At this time, the players of the Wolves team were dumbfounded, it was already very difficult to prevent Lu Feng, plus a Robert who was in excellent condition, this difficulty was also a little too high.

What's more, now that Leeds have a three-goal lead, can they really equalise or even overtake the score in the second half?

As far as the current scenario goes, the mentality of this team, from the manager to the players, is all broken. They didn't expect that the opponent who didn't pay attention to it before the game would perform so well and so unexpectedly.

After a brief silence, Camaise opened his mouth and tried to speak.

Although everyone's mentality is a little broken now, it is obviously not okay to do nothing.

After all, the game is not over yet, and Wolves still have hope of advancing to the final, even if it seems that there is little hope now, but, as a professional team, you can't give up before the game is over, just admit defeat.

What's more, although there is little hope, it is not completely absent, even if there is a little hope, you must go all out to grasp it.

But first, you have to boost the morale of the players. Otherwise, in their current state, there is no difference between surrendering and surrendering.

Thinking of this, Camaise cleared his throat, coughed, and spoke slowly.

"What are you all looking like, did you give up on this game and decide to watch Leeds step on your corpse to reach the final?"

Hearing the head coach speak, the Wolves players subconsciously all looked at Camais, and found that Camaise had a very serious expression and was looking at them coldly.

In the face of the manager's gaze and inquiry, the Wolves players replied weakly.

"Nope."

"How is that possible?"

However, it is obviously a word of denial, but it sounds like there is no morale at all.

"I think you've given up completely." Camais's voice grew colder. "Are you still the Wolves team I know, the Wolves team that is fearless in the face of strong teams, brave to fight, and finally win?

Look at you, do you deserve the Wolves shirt on your body, worthy of the tens of thousands of Wolves fans on the field?

They have come thousands of miles to cheer you on, and they have never given up, and you, are you going to give up? โ€
