Chapter 124: Losing is not unjust

The last counterattack of the "Red Army" in the first half was Zack? Thompson was ruined at the cost of a yellow card, which was quite unsatisfactory for Leeds United, but Liverpool did not feel that there was anything wrong with their team's last comeback being destroyed by Shaq.

Not to mention a yellow card, in fact, the referee can not play a card at all, after all, this penalty is really reluctant, the position of Shaq tripping Cardoso is in the center circle, far away from the Leeds United goal, Cardoso has Leeds United's three central defenders in front of him, which can be said to be no threat to Leeds United's goal at all.

Speaking of which, Shaq just tripped Cardoso from behind, and this card was eaten...... It's a little wronged!

Although KOPs are die-hard supporters of the "Red Army", they are also fans of England, and Shaq, who has a good performance in the "Three Lions", is also their favorite, and his all-round is quite similar to the captain of the "Red Army" Gerrard, but it seems to be more capable than Gerrard, and even a little perverted, so fans all over England generally like this young man, even if it is a mortal enemy like Manchester United and Chelsea.

When the game entered halftime, the KOPs were still talking about Zach? Thompson's continuous pressing just now can make Gerrard, Suarez, Cardoso, the three stars all scramble, and this ability seems to be really unique.

In the away team's dressing room, Leeds United's players and coaches have confident smiles on their faces, although the team's 2:0 lead is not very big, but after all, it is still a two-goal lead, even if it concedes a goal, it is still the leader, and this initiative will not be lost for a while.

But what doubled their confidence the most was Shaq's brave state today!

Just that round of scramble. It's just too scary, Liverpool's three stars were all stunned by one person, and in the end, if Cardoso hadn't tripped Shaq from behind when he changed direction, as long as Shaq chased after him, most of them would have been able to snatch the ball down.

With such a man here, it is not unusual for the Young Guards to be confident of beating their opponents away from home.

Simon? Grayson looked at Zach? Thompson's eyes were full of smiles: this kid ...... Damn it! This kid is a pervert! Hahahaha!

"Lads. You guys had a great first half! I am very satisfied! In the second half, let's play defensive counterattack, remember, the most important thing is defense, I allow you to use fouls in non-dangerous places to delay the opponent's attack, don't move too much, but don't be afraid even if you eat the cards, you ask Shaq to see if he is afraid of being sent off! ”

"Hahahaha............"

The players all laughed and turned their heads to look at Zach one by one? Thompson. It's all trusting eyes, even Tevez, Ameobi and others, this kid's round of pressing is really a morale booster, it is estimated that there are still people in the dressing room of the Liverpool team who are being scolded!

In the home team's dressing room on the other side of the tunnel, Steve? Although Bruce did not scold his players, he was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half, and he was disgraced by Shaq. That kid is a pervert!

However, a veteran like Ameobi scored twice in the first half. This shows how fragile your team's defense is!

Steve? Bruce's decision was to make a substitution, and he used the young Scottish centre-back Danny, who was only 21 years old. Wilson replaced Coates, a young player who was already a member of the Scottish national team and was known for his flexibility and awareness of the position when defending.

Liverpool, who play at home, were mainly tasked with scoring goals in the second half, and it was not easy to score three goals in a row in 45 minutes. But it's not too difficult to score two goals to equalise, Steve? Bruce also anticipated that his opponent might continue to play defensive counter-attacks in the second half, so he also made some adjustments to his team's offensive tactics.

But when the second half of the game began, Steve? Bruce found out that the problem was that Leeds United had completely shrunk back. Pivkowski and Tevez are both on the verge of becoming central midfielders, while the monster Shaq has completely become a midfielder, and Leeds United has contracted ...... It's not a contraction anymore, it's a fucking bucket array!

Although it is an iron bucket formation, the "Young Guards" are extremely resolute when they counterattack, once they get the ball, at least three players will immediately rush into Liverpool's half to participate in the attack, the speed of the "black big man" Ameobi is indeed not fast, and he is old and can't run, but Tevez, Nelson? Oliveira and Pivkowski are not slow, especially Shaq hidden behind them, which makes Liverpool feel a headache when dealing with the opponent's counterattack.

As the game passed minute by minute, under the clever foul tactics of Leeds United, the "Reds" Liverpool never posed a real threat to Leeds United, and they only made the opponent pay some price, Pivkowski ate a yellow card in the 51st minute, pink? Vrsarrico also received a yellow card at 62 minutes.

It wasn't until the 78th minute that Liverpool's left-back Jose? Enrique cut off Tevez's ball, and then the 'Reds' hit the ball all the way from the left to the right on the counter-attack, and Torge burst forward with the ball on the right. Parker was already in the penalty area when he quickly returned to Torge, and the foul tactic was ineffective.

"Bang!"

Torge crossed, but instead of crossing the ball to goal, he sent it back to the penalty spot!

"Boom!"

Suarez, who ran up diagonally from the left, didn't jump, and a lion shook his head on the spot and sent the ball to the ground in the far corner......

“GOALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!! The ball is in! The ball is in! Louis? Suarez! A beautiful lion flicked his head and the ball bounced back to break the Leeds United goal! 1:2！ We're only one goal behind! There should be about fifteen minutes to go, we still have a chance to score again, we have a chance to equalise! ”

Amid the deafening cheers at Anfield, Uruguayan striker Suarez did not celebrate his goal after the goal, but ran to the goal, picked up the ball and ran back. He knows exactly what his team needs most right now............ It's time!

The fighting spirit and morale of the previous Liverpool team have become more and more sluggish with time, and even they have shaken their confidence, but Suarez's goal really made the "Red Army" see hope again!

Twelve minutes of play, plus stoppage time, should be about fifteen minutes. It's impossible to win the game on a comeback, but another goal is not out of the question, and an equaliser is the goal of the team now.

Leeds United, Zach? Thompson had already called his teammates together: "Brothers, we've been fighting for eighty minutes, and we only have ten minutes left in the game, we just have to grit our teeth and get through, if you don't want to show up in the newspaper tomorrow and say that we got the cooked ducks flying." Let's work together! Remember, our goal is not to score again, but to keep the win! So, strikers, don't shoot after you get the ball, you have to control it, you have to pass the ball back, we control it continuously. When it's time to win, we'll win! Do you understand? ”

This moment, Zach? Thompson's expression was solemn. With a serious expression on his immature face, he doesn't look ridiculous at all, his position in the team determines his majesty, and at this time on the field, Pivkowski, Nelson? Oliveira, Ben? Parker, prunes? Vrsarico, Dawson, Red, Ronegan, these people are all members of the "Swordsman Regiment", what do they do to Zack? Thompson, the interim captain, had no objection at all. Ameobi, Tevez, and Odi are all veterans of the battle, and they naturally know what to do at this time, right to Zack? Thompson's arrangement was also fully agreed.

So when the score became 1:2 on the field, and Leeds United, who were playing away, only led by one goal, the "Young Guards" did not show any panic. Or in Zack? Thompson's team twisted into a rope and marched firmly towards victory.

So, the next game has become the time for Leeds United to brush up the data, they are basically only half the time, but as soon as they get the ball, they continue to penetrate the front court little by little through passing, passing, and passing, and once they find that the opponent is pressing fiercely, they will immediately pass the ball back.

There is not much time left for Liverpool, although they are also desperately trying to grab the ball, but Leeds United is originally pursuing a controlled style of play, as long as the ball is at their feet, even goalkeeper Ronedan will be involved in the possession, always able to delay as much time as possible, and the shrill boos from the KOPs on the scene cannot affect them.

Once Liverpool have the chance to attack, they will first have to face Leeds United's foul tactics and then face the bucket formation that makes them feel helpless.

Time passed little by little, and when the halftime whistle blew, the score on the pitch was still 1:2, and the "Red Army" Liverpool, who was fighting at home, lost by one goal.

At the end of the game, the live director began to broadcast the technical statistics of the players on both sides of the game. Bruce turned around and walked away after watching it, he felt that he was really unjust in losing this game, but he was very unwilling in his heart.

In the statistics, the Liverpool team has the most passes with Brazilian defender Lucas 34 times, but Leeds United has brushed the data quite amazingly, and one Shaq has 84 passes and 76 successful passes.

But Steve? Bruce also has to admit that Leeds United's defense is indeed in place, because just one Shaq himself has 17 steals and 12 successes, in addition to 10 headers and 5 interceptions, and this is just a Shaq statistic, and the rest of Leeds United is also very desperate when defending.

Liverpool had more shots on goal than Leeds and three more set-pieces than their opponents, but they were completely behind at 41%:59%, while Leeds United's 15 fouls and three yellow cards were rewarded for their toughness in defence.

Therefore, the "Reds" really didn't lose at all this time, because they wanted to win the other side from the beginning of the home game, and if they put themselves on the weak side to play a defensive counterattack like when the two sides met in the first leg, Steve? Bruce believes the outcome of the game could have been very different.

You are really mighty, 10+1, come again! (To be continued......)
