In the 2nd minute, Xu Yifei went straight to the ball, Murphy took the ball and shifted his big foot to the left, Mowatt crossed from the bottom, and McCormack's header was slightly over the crossbar. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the 5th minute, Xu Yifei and Mowatt made a kick to the wall on the left side, and then suddenly a long pass hit behind the left back of the Forest team, Bairam shook off the opponent and cut the edge of the penalty area to cross the middle, Hunt pushed and shot, and was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper with his legs.

Three minutes later, Mowatt made a long-distance run on the left side, attracted the defense and then passed back to the middle, Murphy met the ball and shot vigorously from a distance, which was blocked by the opposing defender, Xu Yifei took control of the ball and picked up the penalty area, but unfortunately McCormack was offside first, and the goal was ruled invalid.

Fifteen minutes later, Leeds United's onslaught failed to work and began to slow down the pace of the game.

The Forest team had a respite and the formation was able to spread out a little.

"Leeds United played very smartly, and after a bombardment, they brought the opponent out a little bit so that they would have more chances!"

Sure enough, the commentator's voice did not fall, and the score on the field has been rewritten!

In the 16th minute, Murphy passed back, and Xu Yifei suddenly passed a long pass over the top in the middle and hit the top of the Forest team's penalty area. McCormack scrambled to start the first and calmly fired into the far corner in the face of the goalkeeper.

"Oh! After taking the lead, Leeds United did not shrink in defense, nor did they play a 532 formation, but still a serious 442, a diamond-shaped position in the midfield. ”

"Forest did have two attacks on both flanks, but it was difficult for them to penetrate the defence against Leeds United's front and back lines.

"Don't forget, there is also the ruthless character Xu Yifei on the sidelines, and he may go up and take a bite at any time!"

"Yes. We see that Xu Yifei plays very smartly, he is not impatient, he will not run around with the players, but always guard the weakest link of his own defense. ”

"That's the big picture. And his defensive coverage is very large, and he was almost omnipresent in the second half. ”

"Pay attention to Xu Yifei's running timing, he always runs in a wide range when the opponent passes the ball, and moves in small steps when the opponent stops the ball and adjusts."

'It's true that the way he plays is very similar to Claude Makelle, who anticipates the development of the ball in advance, and often does it right.

"It's the ability to read the game and be able to grasp the key points in a fast-changing situation on the pitch. For example, which enemy may be unmarked, where there may be vacancy, how the opponent will pass the ball, these need to be considered in a very short period of time, and then respond. ”

Nottingham Forest played quite tenaciously and had a very clear tactical idea: resolutely play behind the two full-backs of Leeds United, once not twice, twice not three times!

Fortunately, Leeds United remained compact in formation, the distance between the three lines was not large, and they did a good job of protecting each other, and Bayram and Taylor were also young and had good sprinting ability, and they were able to turn around and chase back at the first time.

It was Nottingham Forest's attack that did not pose a real threat to Leeds United.

The score was held at 1-0 until halftime. In the other game that just ended, Leicester City unexpectedly lost at home to Sheffield Wednesday. If Leeds can take all three points in this game, they will be level on points with Leicester City, only in second place on goal difference.

McDermott, of course, shared the good news with the team.

"Boys, what a chance for us to hit the top of the table! As long as you win this match, I will personally pay you a prize of £50,000 each! If you score a goal, you will be rewarded with another 50,000 pounds! ”

McDermott had good intentions, but he did a bad thing with good intentions.

Leeds United were originally playing passing, and the most important thing was to keep the ball at their feet. But in the second half, everyone was stimulated by the bonus, no longer honestly controlled the ball, and the first reaction after getting the ball was to bring forward!

As a result, the pass success rate is greatly reduced, the time of possession is greatly reduced, and the threat is greatly reduced.

Xu Yifei yelled at everyone: "Steady! Don't rush, keep the ball! "But to no avail, no one listened to him anymore, everyone only had the goal in their eyes.

The TV commentator was also puzzled by the change at Leeds: "Huh? How did Leeds play so impatiently when they were ahead? That's not their style! Isn't this self-defeating martial arts? ”

In the 59th minute, Murphy won the ball, and instead of waiting for his partners to plug in, he took the ball to the edge of the box and shot with his feet.

"It's too sloppy, McCormack's location is obviously better!"

McCormack didn't react, but Hunter was a little emotional: "Luke, why didn't you pass that ball just now?" For £50,000, you're desperate? ”

Murphy countered: "I can shoot and I finish it, what's wrong?" ”

"Shut up! Don't talk about it all! Xu Yifei stopped both sides in time.

After 60 minutes, Xu Yifei was surprised to find that the frontcourt players were no longer actively returning to defense! They all stayed on each other, waiting to get the ball! It seems that the defense has nothing to do with them!

"Damn! Defend yourself! Taking advantage of the opponent's throw-in opportunity, Xu Yifei yelled at the frontcourt.

Money finally showed great power, no one listened to Xu Yifei, and Leeds United's defensive formation was self-defeating.

Without the harassment of the front line and the protection of the attacking line, Leeds United's backline was in a tough battle and the situation took a turn for the worse.

In the 68th minute, Nottingham Forest won the second corner of the game.

"Oh, what's wrong with Leeds?" The commentator exclaimed: "There are only six people on defense, and the opposing side has a full seven players in the box!" ”

"The corner kick came out, it landed at the back point, it missed!"

"Forest's No. 11 lion shook his head and the ball went in! The score became 1-1! ”

"It was Red who scored the goal! He's so easy with the ball, completely unguarded! Leeds United paid a terrible price for their carelessness. ”

"You know, this is the first time Nottingham Forest have hit the target in this game, and they have scored a goal."

Xu Yifei seemed to be very unhappy with the performance of his teammates, and he was loudly scolding the midfielders. He believes that it is precisely because they did not return to defense in time that the scene was so passive and was finally scored by the opponent. ”

Unfortunately, a conceded goal didn't wake them up. After the restart, Leeds still had a serious disconnect between the front and back, with the front field not defending and the back field exhausted.

Head coach McDermott is too late to regret it now, and after yelling at the field, he has to let it go.

"God willing, let time go faster!" McDermott folded his hands on his chest and prayed secretly, "Damn the game is over soon, let's get out of here with a point!" ”

It's a pity, I'm afraid of what's coming.
