Chapter 27: Failed steals
In the first few minutes of the game, Xu Yifei felt very uncomfortable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, Xu Yifei has long known that England's style of play is relatively rough and likes to play high, but when he actually plays, what he has experienced is still very different from what he heard before.
Leeds United and Birmingham are both Championship teams, and although they are not as strong as Premier League teams, their basic style of play is very close.
The biggest feature of this style of play is: fast, concise and efficient.
Birmingham didn't even need to make any one-on-one breakthroughs to have three shots on goal, which shows how efficient they are.
I have to say that the opponent does not break through and pass the ball directly or even shoot directly, this kind of play is the last thing Xu Yifei wants to face, because the opponent does not give him the opportunity to steal at all, and the number of times his [precision steal] can be used is greatly reduced.
And without the blessing of [Precise Steal], Xu Yifei would be very embarrassed when facing opponents who were twenty or thirty levels higher than him.
But there was no way, he had to grit his teeth and insist, and at the same time he was struggling to think about countermeasures.
Xu Yafei, who was cheering for her brother in the stands, is also frowning now, and she obviously sees that the third brother is in a lot of trouble today.
Birmingham City win a corner.
Since he couldn't gain the upper hand in a one-on-one confrontation, Xu Yifei simply stood at the back post and helped Ashtang handle the door together.
"Force!"
A whistle blows and a corner kick is taken.
Serbian and Montenegro striker Zikic, who is 2.02 meters tall, grabbed the first landing point and smashed the ball heavily in the direction of the back post.
In the face of the flying football, Xu Yifei's Ferdinand header stunt, which Xu Yifei practiced hard every day, finally came in handy at this time.
Xu Yifei kicked the ground with both feet, his waist was forced, and he shook his head and pushed the header out.
"Bang!"
After a crisp sound, the ball crossed the Leeds United penalty area in an almost straight line!
"Good!" Xu Yafei saw the third brother's beautiful header cleared, and finally smiled for the first time.
Seeing Xu Yifei's clean header, his teammates also looked sideways.
In the midst of the electric light and flint, he was able to eat the top ball so accurately, if it wasn't for the coincidence, then Xu Yifei's header ability would definitely be able to rank average in the Leeds first team.
in the hospital.
After the call with Jones, the old coach Warnock immediately opened a radio software on his phone and began to listen to the Leeds United vs Birmingham match. He wants to find out how the game is going now, and whether Xu Yifei is really as unbearable as Jones said.
Entering the set channel with ease, the old coach soon heard the sound of commenting on the game.
Xu, who had just entered the first team, seemed to have gradually regained his confidence through a beautiful header clearance just now...... Leeds United fell in the backfield, Pierce passed the football to Xu Yifei, and in the face of Elliott's pressing, Xu Yifei calmly passed back to the central defender Pierce behind him......"
Leeds United attacked, left-back Drury drove forward with the ball past midfield, Birmingham youngster Vale. Parkwood came up to stop him. Drury tried to use his speed advantage to shake off his opponent, but unfortunately it didn't work, and the ball was poked off the sideline by Parkwood, delaying the attack. ”
Leeds United throw-in on the left, Drury threw the ball and Morris and Elliott fought for the ball. Oh! Let's see, the 16-year-old Asian player Xu Yifei came up to answer and got the football! Xu Yifei did not dribble the ball, observed the situation in the front court, and passed the football straight to Beccio 15 yards in front. ”
Bezio dribbled the ball down the left and tried to break through the 19-year-old American youngster Vir. Parkwood. The latter was inexperienced and pulled Beccio in a panic. Direct free kick, no doubt! ”
"Let's take a look at the whole process of this foul. Leeds United's No. 36 teenager Xu Yifei went straight through, Bezio broke through with the ball, Parkwood lost his position and chose a tactical foul. We can see that Xu Yifei's pass is very exquisite, and if Beccio is not fouled, a 3-on-2 situation will be formed in the front court! ”
Hearing this, Warnock's eyes suddenly rolled rapidly, and he said, "Huh? This Xu Yifei can still send exquisite passes? Isn't he a defensive midfielder? ”
"Listeners, in the 14th minute of the game, Leeds United won a well-positioned free kick in front, although this free kick was directly made by Argentine striker Beccio, but Xu Yifei's pass also contributed to it.
Four Birmingham players lined up on the right side of the penalty area. Leeds United centre-back Pierce also stepped into the box, ready to make a difference.
Leeds United's top scorer last season, McMacroke, took the free-kick. The ball flew over the wall and into the middle of the penalty area. Oooh! Pierce tops the ball, the post! The ball hits the post!
Let's take a look at slow motion. Pierce jumped high and flicked his head at goal, Birmingham goalkeeper Colin Brown. Doyle couldn't do anything about it, but unfortunately the goal was blocked by the goalpost!
Leeds United's first shot on goal almost changed the scoreline! ”
Although the goal was not scored, the Elland Road stadium was already boiling. The 30,000 fans in the stadium sang the Leeds United anthem in unison to cheer on the players.
Encouraged by the fans, Xu Yifei gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game, and Leeds United played better and better, and gradually had more offensives. In the 20th minute, Norris scored a goal on the right flank, past Birmingham left wing-back Hanks, and then burst into the box to shoot. Doyle came in time to block the shot.
After two dangerous attempts, Birmingham suddenly launched an even more violent attack.
In the 32nd minute, Redmond passed the ball on the left. Elliott pushed forward after taking the ball in the middle, Xu Yifei made a [precision steal], but due to the big gap between the two levels, Xu Yifei failed to steal!
Norris scrambled to chase back, but Elliott didn't give him any chance and suddenly pulled his foot and fired a fierce shot from the top of the box.
"World waves! Best Goal of the FA Cup! No doubt! The ball grazed the angle between the right post and the crossbar and drilled into the net! 1-0, away team Birmingham take the lead! ”
"This goal is so beautiful, dead corner! A real dead end! Although there was a certain element of luck in this ball, Xu Yifei must be responsible for the lost ball, and it was his rash steal that caused himself to be completely broken through, allowing Elliott to calmly get up without interference.
Xu Yifei paid the price for his youth! However, Leeds United right-back Lees is also to blame for the goal, and he has no way to do anything about Redmond's passes, like an amateur player, allowing the opponent to behave in his own defensive area! ”
At this time, Warnock's cell phone rang again.
"Neil, this can't go on, we have to change people! Xu must be replaced! Jones said hurriedly.
"Yes, it's time for us to change, but it's not now, and it's not Xu who should be replaced!"
