Chapter 14 Merit

After the resumption of the game, Wang Tiezhu officially stepped into his role, and he was tasked with strengthening his team's defensive ability in midfield and providing Leeds United with midfield hardness, which is also the original intention of Simon Grayson to transfer him to the first team.

But I don't know what's wrong, with the arrival of Wang Tiezhu, Leeds United's defense has not seen any improvement, but the offensive momentum has become rapid, pressing Millwall to launch a siege for three consecutive minutes, but unfortunately it failed to threaten the opponent's goal.

In fact, this is also directly related to Wang Tiezhu's play, originally Leeds United's attacking players are always a little worried about their team's defense, and they are not so decisive when attacking, but now with Wang Tiezhu on the field, they have confidence in their team's defense all of a sudden, and they can go all out when attacking, and it is normal to completely suppress Milwall, who is weaker than themselves, in a short period of time.

Wang Tiezhu really played his part for the first time after coming on the pitch, and the game was already 29 minutes old, and he and right-back Connolli combined to complete a brilliant defence.

When Milwall's No. 8 left midfielder attacked along the wing, Connolli clung to it, and then Wang Tiezhu was in place in time to cut off the opponent's passing route, and Connoli saw the opportunity to poke the ball at Wang's feet with a tackle.

Catch the ball, turn around......

"Bang!"

Wang Tiezhu performed quite skillfully, and kicked the ball directly to the feet of Andrew Keogh in front of him, but unfortunately the Leeds United scorer was not very good at passing, and when he kicked the ball to the small penalty area on the left side of Milwall, the power was greater, and the ball flew directly out of the bottom line.

"Yes, yes, little Zach just performed very well in the help defense and passing this time, and we almost formed a chance to counterattack! For a lad who has just landed in the professional league, his performance is already passing. But I still don't understand, isn't Zach Jr. a striker, why did he suddenly become a defensive midfielder? I think that's a question that should be on the minds of many of us, but we're only going to ask it after the game, Simon! ”

A minute later, the Milwall goalkeeper kicked the ball straight into the middle circle of the Leeds United half, and Wang Tiezhu showed his header in front of the 36,000 spectators, and directly headed the ball back, but this time his teammates failed to receive the ball, and the ball fell to the feet of the Millwall defender.

On 32 minutes, Leeds United attacked again when Ben Parker assisted a 45-degree diagonal pass to get the ball in front of the Milwall goal, and Andrew Keoch headed it into the arms of the Milwall goalkeeper.

"Oh――――――"

In a voice of regret, the commentator began to comment: "The situation is a little weird! Our team's offense has improved significantly since Zach Jr. came on the field, but we didn't see him in the team's attack, he only ran to the midfield at most to intercept the opponent's ball, but our offense has really improved! ”

Simon Grayson, who was standing on the sidelines of the pitch, has sat back in his position, he knows that the card he played has begun to play a role, the layman may not be able to see clearly, but he knows clearly, the reason why Leeds United's offense has improved, mainly because Millwall's attack has not threatened the team's door, and now Leeds United's midfield three are in the shape of an inverted triangle, although Jonny Hausen and Michael Brown's defensive ability is a little worse, But they can help Wang Tiezhu interfere with the opponent's attack, and can also increase the defensive thickness of Leeds United's midfield, squeezing the opponent's offensive space, so that Millwall can only go to the side, Leeds United's two fullbacks are really good, Ben Parker and Paul Connoli are not weak in defense, and it is impossible for Millwall to attack casually like at the beginning of the game.

In the 34th minute of the game, Millwall got a chance to take a corner kick, but the ball was kicked into the top of the arc of the penalty area and was stopped by Wang Tiezhu, and then Wang Tiezhu kicked the ball in front of him with a long pass to find Andrew Keogh, the ball was directly off the right sideline, and Andrew Keoh couldn't catch up with his desperate pursuit.

Seeing this scene, Green Snowing couldn't help but hold back a smile and turned his head: "Hahaha, Simon, it's really laughing at me, Shaq's pass is really a big problem!" We still need to strengthen his training in this area! ”

Simon Grayson also nodded with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, I am already very satisfied with Shaq's current performance, his appearance has completely stabilized the situation of the game, even if we are still one goal behind, but I have a hunch that if we continue to play like this, we will be able to tie the score in the first half, and we will have a chance to overtake the opponent in the second half." ”

Green Snowing smiled and nodded, he agreed with Simon Grayson's opinion, Wang Tiezhu did change the situation of the game after he came on the field, Leeds United has fully recovered from the previous hectic, like Wang Tiezhu, a midfielder with almost no offensive ability, should be like this, he is not visible on the field, there is almost no brilliance, but it is the kind of thing that if he is not on the field, you will find that the team is missing something.

It can be said that in the ten minutes after Wang Tiezhu appeared on the stage, his performance was still very good, and he had exceeded the passing line.

With 38 minutes played, Simon Grayson's expectations were finally fulfilled when Leeds United cut off the ball in their own half through captain Jonny Hausen and slotted a through ball to right winger Snodgrass.

The Scottish winger took the ball to the middle and suddenly rubbed the ball over the top with the outside of his right foot and sent it directly to the onrushing centre-forward Andrew Keogh.

Andrew Keogh's pass was not good, but his ability to protect the ball was quite good, and after slowly taking the ball sideways and taking two steps into the top of Milwall's arc, he suddenly got up with his right foot and pulled the ball out under the defense of the opponent's two central defenders!

"Tom!"

A muffled sound!

The ball didn't fly, but it flew between the two centre-backs on the turf!

By the time Millwall's goalkeeper fell to the ground to make a save, it was too late, and the ball bounced twice in the six-yard box before flying into Millwall's goal!

“goal！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

In the Elland Road Stadium, countless arms were raised high, and the emotions that the fans had suppressed for a full thirty-eight minutes were completely vented, and the small stadium exploded!

"The ball is in! The ball is in! The ball is in! Andrew Keogh! Andrew Keogh! He received an assist from Snodgrass and completed the task of equalising for the team! Pretty! Well done! ”

After seeing this goal, Simon Grayson waved his fist hard, he felt that he had found the key to solve the problem of Leeds United, if it was Wang Tiezhu who was replaced by him, it was because of Wang Tiezhu in the back to stabilize the team, Leeds United reversed the unfavorable situation of the game, and the appearance of this goal is definitely due to Wang Tiezhu.

In the stadium, the Leeds United players hugged each other amid cheers, and Wang Tiezhu also leaned in and ravaged Andrew Keogh, who had scored the goal, before running back to his position with a grin.

Milwall's head coach Kenny Jackett pouted in his chair in disappointment, he originally thought that his team could beat Leeds United away, after all, the "Young Guards" has exposed the lack of defensive ability in the middle in the past games, Kenny Jackett made a very targeted tactical arrangement according to this, using the assault of the two wings as a cover, and finally launched a fatal blow from the middle, this move did bring a goal to the away Milwall at the beginning of the game, Unexpectedly, the young No.29 actually filled this hole after coming on the field, and Leeds United, who had stabilized their position, also used this as a cornerstone to tie the score in the final stage of the first half.

Now, it's time to think about how to play the second half.

After the game restarted, the morale of Leeds United was completely boosted by this goal, while Millwall, who was playing away, looked a little depressed, obviously the situation of the game was in their favor, but suddenly the opponent scored, which was a real blow to morale.

Leeds United had the upper hand for the remainder of the first half, but Millwall, who had been reincarnated, did not give the home side more chances, and they held the score 1-1 until half-time.

"The first half is over, the score is 1:1! Our squad made timely adjustments after a poor start and equalised late in the first half, and now we have every reason to expect a better performance in the second half. ”

Leeds United manager Simon Grayson, who returned to the home team's dressing room, did not hesitate to praise his team's performance: "Boys, good play! We had a rough start, but now we've equalised! If we keep playing like this in the second half, we will definitely win! ”

"Also, Shaq, you're doing very well, but in the second half you have to do your job at the same time, you also have to give us some support for our attack, pass the ball to the feet of Jonny and Michael as much as possible, let them organize the team's attack, if the situation is more stable, you can press a little more!"

After seeing Wang Tiezhu nodding, Simon Grayson continued: "The guard line is the same, as long as Shaq presses up, you will follow up for me!" Remember, this is Elland Road, and we're the masters! Whoever comes here, we're going to make them feel that! Got it? ”

"Understood!"

Hearing the players shouting in unison, seeing that Green Snowting, Ian Miller, Matt Pearce, and Alex Davis had already handed out bananas and sports drinks to the players, Simon Grayson shouted: "Alright, take the victory for me in the second half!" Now let's take a break! ”
