Chapter 046: Dave's Tactics?

Although for the players of the two teams, the pre-match war of words is as boring as two shrews scolding the street, but this kind of scolding can indeed inspire the players' confidence in the game, irritate the opponent, and for the fans, it can let them vent their emotions and pay more attention to the game.

A few hours before the game, Wang Li, like a paladin of the Holy See, made a 'declaration of victory' on the territory of the Young Guards, which angered almost all Leeds fans and the media, but in their opinion, it was just the boast of this clown-like Oriental, and it did not arouse their strong rebuttal.

'After the game, our players will give this little guy a taste of it and show him that the Premier League is not the place for a poor creature like him who only shows off his footwork!' That's what they all think.

Despite this, all the Leeds fans have cursed Wang Li in their hearts I don't know how many times, while Wolverhampton fans are rejoicing and cheering for their 'dance masters', even though they are only more than 2,000 people...

……

There were a few figures in the tunnel one after another, and the closer to the start of the game, the more enthusiastic the shouts at Elland Road Stadium became.

'Reid lined up in a standard 442 formation, with full-backs Kelly and Gilgaron, centre-backs Dubeley and Hart, midfielders Mateo and McPhail, and our ...... Alan. Smith!!! !! Jamaine Pennant Up front, we're our superstars Viduka and Buck, and it seems that Coach Reid is going to be ready for this game, and all the stars are almost out of the nest to pay a moment of silence for Wolverhampton..."

As the on-site commentator Williams revealed the names of his team's players one by one, the Elland Road Stadium remembered cheers again and again.

Viduka, Alain. Smith and youngster Jermaine Pennant are the three stars of Leeds United!

"Huh? Dave. Coach Jones has a strange number of players, Ruzney, Butler, Nairell, Cameron, Kennedy, Newton, Kamara, Miller, Iverson and ...... The arrogant Allen, this formation, three defenders, four midfielders, and three forwards including Allen, is Dave suddenly a warrior to fight against our great youth army? It's hard to imagine. ”

The fans in the audience booed unanimously when they heard the commentator announce Wang Li's name, and although the Wolverhampton fans did their best to cheer and cheer, they were too few in number...

……

Amid deafening cheers, the players took their positions and Leeds were given the kick-off, the ball rolling back and forth at Viduka's feet.

Wang Li stood behind Miller, looking at the excited fans in the audience around him, slightly excited, "I will use my legs to prove what I said!" He said silently and firmly in his heart.

Referee Deurso looked at his watch, put the whistle to his mouth and blew the whistle for the start of the game.

As soon as the game began, the Leeds United players pressed towards Wolverhampton's half.

Their nickname 'Young Guards' is not just words, Leeds United players are generally younger, and when the game is smooth, they can score a few goals in a row, and if they get in the way, sometimes they are not as good as a Championship team.

Reid's coaching philosophy is very much in line with Leeds' usual style, which is mainly attacking, and he wants to get these youngsters to play to their strengths, overwhelm one opponent after another, and they have played well in the previous games this season and are now ninth in the league.

On the right, McPhail got on the ball and he took two steps forward to see a Wolverhampton player in front of him intercepting it, and then passed it back to the young Pennant who was cutting in behind.

After getting the ball, Pennant didn't pass the ball immediately, but after fixing the ball, he looked left and right, looking for opportunities. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the veteran Iverson immediately rushed up to snatch it, but unfortunately, he is only a striker player, but his defensive level is really not very good, and Pennant just casually took the ball to the left, and an acceleration shook him.

At this time, he was on the left touchline of the penalty area, which was already dangerous, and many players could shoot from distance here, so Neroel and Kamara immediately ran over to pick up the defence.

Pennant didn't panic and he played the ball straight to the left.

Mateo, who was on the left sideline, stretched out his foot to receive the ball, but the ball stopped a little too big, the ball rolled forward a little, and Butler in front of him saw the opportunity and quickly ran to the ball, but it was still a little late, Mateo reacted and fell directly to the ball with a sliding tackle, and the ball was handed over to Alan in the middle. Smith's feet.

Alan. Smith didn't stop the ball, just rubbed his toe against the rolling ball and the ball flew towards Viduka in Wolverhampton's six-yard box.

Viduka squeezed away Ruzny, who was close to the defense, waited for the ball to fall in front of him, cushioned the ball with his left foot, took a step forward, and after the ball hit the ground, his right heel came up and hit the goal directly!

"Alain...... Jump ...... Viduka, shot !! …… Hey, the ball is hitting Wolverhampton goalkeeper Oakes, this ball Buck couldn't keep up, just now Oakes got rid of it, but he still saved it steadily..."

Just two minutes into the game, Leeds United produced a dangerous attack, from Mateo to Allan. Smith, and then Viduka, the three of them worked together very tacitly, and a few passes directly penetrated the entire Wolverhampton defence, although this is also related to Dave's attacking formation today, but it is more a reflection of the strength of Leeds United, they are now ranked ninth in the Premier League, and it is by no means due to luck.

Seeing the ball in Oakes' hands, the Leeds United players immediately ran towards their own half.

Oakes took advantage of Leeds United's lack of full defence and immediately threw the ball to Nairor. Neroel made a direct pass to Kennedy, who had already run to the halfway line.

After Kennedy got the ball, he almost didn't think about it, and passed the ball to Wang Li a little ahead.

Wang Li left a little with his left foot, and after the ball slowed down a little, it was a long pass, and the ball flew towards Miller, who had already run into the Leeds United penalty area.

At this time, there were two defenders next to Miller, and when he saw Wang Li passing the ball to him, he ran forward desperately, but the defenders of Leeds United were by no means stakes, they desperately squeezed Miller, making him unbalanced, and after the ball fell, he was a little far away from Miller, and he was in a hurry, and he fell to the ground with a tackle shot!

Unfortunately, the shot was too impatient and didn't have any power at all, and goalkeeper Robinson took two steps and scooped the ball directly from the ground.

Although the speed of this counterattack was very fast, so that the Leeds United players were completely helpless, but the last kick made people secretly shake their heads, but it was just the beginning, the two teams were able to play such a fierce confrontation, so that the fans in the stands were addicted, although they would love to see Leeds United slaughter the scene, but to play such a beautiful attacking football can also satisfy their appetite, of course, if Leeds United can take the lead, it would be better.

……

After Robinson kicked the ball, the ball was moving back and forth near the halfway line, and the players on both sides fought for each other in the middle, and the scene was fierce and tense.

At this time, Cameron, who grabbed the ball, suddenly stabbed the ball to the left, and after Newton received the ball, he did not pass the ball back to the defender as usual, or to Iverson in front, and he rarely rushed forward with the ball.

Seeing Newton about to burst forward with the ball, Hart, who was on the right side of Leeds United, immediately ran over to grab the ball. However, Newton couldn't let him go, and when Hart got close to Newton about a metre away, Newton kicked the ball to Wang Li, who was a few metres back on the right side of the Leeds United penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Wang Li smiled in his heart, but he walked forward to the ball. This made the Leeds United players stunned, in such a position with a dense number of defensive players, is he not afraid of conceding goals?

Wang Li didn't intend to continue such an undoubted pass, but at this time, he remembered the tactics arranged by head coach Dave before the game: "Allen, you are near the penalty area, use the dribble to attract Leeds United players, and then ......";
