Chapter 95: Hit Your Jaw
More than 100 Millwall fans learned of Leeds United's route out of nowhere and organized early to block the bus. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Leeds United bus was caught between the traffic behind and the crowd in front, and it was impossible to advance or retreat.
Crazy home fans banged beer bottles on the window panes of the bus, and several huge holes soon formed.
The scene was in chaos, and the nearby traffic police rushed over to no avail. Their only role is to stand on the wall and block the crazy attacks of the fans.
A young policeman was hit in the forehead with a beer bottle and fainted on the spot, bleeding profusely.
If the police hadn't sent helicopters to reinforce it, it would have caused a tragedy.
It was only after the gunshots were fired that the grumpy fans were ejected from the main road.
Leeds United's big bus was expected to be 25 minutes late, with the players missing out on valuable warm-up and familiarisation opportunities.
After hurriedly changing his jersey in the locker room, Xu Yifei led his teammates directly to the Lion's Den Stadium.
When passing by the entrance of the passage, Xu Yifei suddenly felt a tingling pain in his ear drums, and the noise of the home team's fans made him a little dizzy.
"Smack!" A banana peel fell on his head, and Xu Yifei forced himself to calm down, without looking back to look for the attacker in the stands.
When shaking hands with the home team's players, Xu Yifei obviously felt the other party's unkind looks, and the strength of their handshake was also very heavy, as if they wanted to give the away team a disadvantage in this way.
However, they obviously made a big mistake: Xu Yifei, who didn't seem to be very strong, had ridiculously large strength in his hands, and when they wanted to bargain on Xu Yifei, they all showed pain, anger and unwilling expressions.
Of course, it can't just be over.
From the start of the game, the home team played to their usual strengths: frequent fouls to get the opposition in trouble.
In the 2nd minute, Luke. Murphy controlled the ball in the centre circle and was unprepared to suffer the black feet of opposition midfielder Woolford.
Murphy fell to the ground in pain, the referee said nothing, and the home fans responded with loud applause.
McDermott complained to no avail, and he was furious.
Leeds United won a free kick, Xu Yifei walked up to Murphy's side and whispered: "Next, you try to dribble as little as possible and leave it to me." “
"But I'm afraid that bringing is not your strong point!" Murphy wondered, "If they steal too much, won't our midfield be all handed over to them?" “
"Don't worry about this, let's watch a few good shows first!"
The free-kick was too far from the goal for Keben to pose any threat, so Xu Yifei passed directly back to the centre-back Pierce behind him.
"Xu Yifei is taking the initiative to ask for the ball, which is rare. See what he wants to do! “
Pierce and Wooton symbolically poured down, and sure enough, handed the ball to Xu Yifei's feet.
Xu Yifei adjusted slightly, glanced at the front court, shook his ankle, and directly sent a long pass!"
The long ball went straight to the back of the Millwall defence, but Diouf was a little slow to start and was beaten by goalkeeper David Murphy. Forde confiscated the ball.
"If Diouf had been a little more decisive in his charge, this attack would have been done."
"Yes, Xu Yifei's long pass is his specialty, and Millwall's defenders should be careful."
"Yes, the midfielders also have to cheer up, they can't let Xu Yifei send cannonballs so comfortably!"
Once Millwall got possession of the ball, they didn't control too much at the back, quickly pushing the attack into central midfield and putting pressure on Leeds.
In this campaign, Leeds United gave up the 343 formation and played 442 instead, with parallel positions in the midfield, and two wing-backs were specially set up to protect the wings.
At this moment, this change of formation has had an effect. Under the attack of Xu Yifei and the wing-back, Millwall's attack struggled to advance to the heart of Leeds United.
With 10 minutes to play, Millwall had the absolute advantage in possession, but still had no shots on goal.
Leeds United got several sporadic counter-attack opportunities, but they were also "squandered" by Xu Yifei's long pass.
"Huh? What's going on with Leeds United today? In the first few games they played pass control, how did it suddenly change today? Doesn't that make sense? The commentators were confused, and they didn't know what kind of medicine Xu Yifei was selling in the gourd, "And Xu Yifei, he was too impatient today, right?" Getting the ball is a long pass! Where is the general style of the past? Could it be that they were intimidated by the madness of the home team's fans? “
"That's not right! Xu Yifei is not such a person, his courage and even his cunning we have long known. There must be a deeper reason why he did this. “
"A deeper reason? What could be the reason? Now Leeds United are very passive. If it continues like this, it will be difficult for Leeds United to get out of the way! “
Soon, the game time came to the 20th minute.
At this time, after nearly half an hour of yelling and shouting, the home team fans were a little silent, and the sound was no longer as noisy as it was at the beginning. Millwall's players have been attacking for 20 minutes, and their physical fitness has also reached the first low point, and their running is obviously not as active as before.
"Oh, Xu Yifei takes the ball. However, this time he did not make a long pass, but organized a reverse foot in the backfield. It seems that Leeds United are going to take the initiative to change their tactics and see how Millwall dismantles it? “
The Millwall players saw that the opposition began to try to control the game, and suddenly stepped up the press, and the pressure on Leeds United at the back suddenly increased.
"Do you still want to control it?" Pierce asked Xu Yifei tentatively.
"Of course you have to control!" Xu Yifei affirmed, "But you try to minimize the time you have to control the ball, don't stick to the ball, let me come!" “
"Okay!" Pierce nodded slightly.
In the 22nd minute, Leeds United won the ball, and Pierce passed the ball to Xu Yifei.
Millwall striker Huster had long seen the passing pattern of Leeds United's backfield, and was ambushing around Xu Yifei at this time, and when he saw Xu Yifei preparing to take the ball, he suddenly rushed out like a dormant cheetah, trying to break the ball.
"Xiuster rushed over from behind Xu Yifei's side, and there was a chance to open up five or five."
Xu Yifei didn't seem to know that there was a thief behind him, and his movements were a little careless. However, Pierce made a gesture to him, which was supposed to remind him. “
"Oh, Xu Yifei suddenly accelerated, pulled the ball with his right foot, and turned around suddenly!"
"Nope! Oh, my God! Xu Yifei, who turned around suddenly, slammed his left shoulder into Xiuster's chin violently! Shuster fell straight to the ground, his hands on his chin, and a howl came out of his throat! “
"The referee is around, but Xu Yifei can't be blamed for this ball, he has no eyes in the back of his head, and it is impossible to see Xiuster. Sure enough, the referee only gave him a verbal warning. “
"Schust had a dislocated jaw and was carried to the sidelines for emergency treatment."
