0225 Mature youngster
The game went on and Reading's foul didn't affect Charlotte Black's mentality.
The young man continued to defend and attack on the right side, which helped Leeds United maintain the lead in the first half.
Even around the 28th minute mark, he contributed a dangerous shot that almost beat Reading.
At that time, Leeds United pressed all over the line, basically compressing most of Reading's players into the box, and there was no way to pass the ball in for a while.
Barry received a pass from Bynes from the left to the edge of the box, when Reading's two midfielders, J Haber and Gunnersson, saved from the line and tried to press Barry.
Seeing this, Barry could only play the ball backwards and pass it to his midfield partner Parker.
Parker didn't stop the ball much and immediately passed it to Bale on the right.
At this time, Reading's defensive focus immediately shifted from the right to the left, which is the direction of Leeds' attack on the right.
Bale saw that there were more defenders in front of Reading, and the speed could not be played, so he passed back to Black.
Blake has already pressed more at this time, at least for a central defender, this position is relatively high.
Charlotte Black took the ball and pushed some distance forward.
Not far from the big penalty area, when Reading's swing bus was just a little loose and the defense was not so dense, Blake was cold enough to shoot from a distance.
The quality of this ball is very high, and it is a defoliating ball.
It went over the heads of the Reading defenders and goalkeepers, then made a quick descent towards goal.
It's just a little bit worse at the end, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back into the six-yard box, where it was held in the arms of the turning Reading goalkeeper Hahnemann.
"Whew!"
The fans in the stadium broke out in a cold sweat and exclaimed in unison.
And several Leeds United players also hugged their heads to express pity after seeing this high-quality shot.
Only Charlotte Black saw that the ball didn't go in, and turned his head back to defend.
Off the field, George Li couldn't help but feel sorry for the future brother-in-law after he saw that his future brother-in-law didn't score this shot. It's just that he came back to his senses right away, after all, not everything is so wishy-washy.
Leeds can't score with every shot, they can't defend every time.
Black's brilliant performance didn't end there, though.
In the 43rd minute of the game, when the fourth official raised the injury time sign.
It was Leeds who scored a goal on the counter-attack.
Charlotte Black snatched the ball directly from Kitson, who had fouled him before, in the backcourt, and when he saw Kitson who fell to the ground, he didn't care and started to dribble forward.
Reading's midfielder was the first to stop, but Blake played a clever one-two to link up with Bale to get past the opposition.
He dribbles at high speed against the opposition's defence, something that was uncommon before.
In the past, Blake mostly played right full-back, although there was also this kind of dribbling breakthrough, but most of them were dribbling breakthroughs on the side, and it is very good to have this kind of counterattack now directly with the ball to impact the opponent's middle.
In front of him was Reading's entire backline, as well as two of his team-mates, Kuyt and Arneson.
Kuyt moved up a little and Arneson was a little slower, following behind Kuyt's right.
Running and running, Kuyt and Arneson crossed and ran to the right.
Arneson saw Kuyt's movements and began to change direction and head to the left.
As soon as the two finished switching positions, Blake passed the ball.
The ball passed behind Kuyt and also through the Reading defence, past the two centre-backs and behind them.
Velocity! Velocity! Velocity!
Today's young Leeds players tore through the Reading defence with their speed time and time again.
Arneson!
The Norwegian was able to complete the acceleration on the run and received this diagonal plug from Blake.
In the face of the attacking goalkeeper, Arneson sideways and right-footed slotted into the far corner.
2 to 0.
After the goal, Arneson found Blake, who had passed the ball to him, jumped directly on top of Blake, and ran past the team's bench with his hands raised.
Several players on the bench also came to the sidelines and patted the two of them on the side.
This seemingly only a few passes after the goal, although relatively simple and crude, but the victory is extremely practical.
It's about breaking through the opponent's defense with speed and simple coordination.
Reading's head coach Koper has not managed a development squad in England in recent years, otherwise he would have felt the way he scored would have been so familiar.
This combination of Charlotte Black and Jan Arneson has been done countless times in the reserves.
When to pass, when to step forward, how hard to pass, how much advance to pass the ball is.
Off the court, Danny Rose was even on his feet ready to celebrate after seeing Blake pass the ball.
When George Lee saw the goal, he wondered if he could move Charlotte Black to the centre-back position.
It's not without examples of switching from full-back to centre-back.
He knows that the defender Ramos, who Real Madrid bought through 27 million euros in 05, changed from full-back to central defender, and now although the Spaniard is more on the right side, Ramos will be generous in the central defender position in the future.
Compared with Ramos, George Lee feels that Blake is no worse than Ramos in all aspects, and even more outstanding in terms of speed.
The development trend of the future central defender is to play the ball type of central defender, and most of the tactics are based on high pressing. Therefore, the central defenders are required to have excellent recovery ability, and speed has become a key point in the selection of central defenders.
It's just that George Lee also wants Blake to develop in the position of a wide midfielder.
"It's really distressing, if only Helen had two younger brothers."
He patted his forehead gently.
^^^
"Good shot!"
"It's a pity ......"
Danny Rose sat on the bench and slapped his leg hard, feeling sorry to see Leeds United's attack miss the goal again.
Because the voice was a little loud, George Li, who was standing in front, looked back at him.
When Rose saw the head coach looking over, he could only shut up and sit down.
"Danny, come here."
George Lee shouted at Rose, and the young left-back, who had only been reporting for the first team for a few days, immediately stood up and came to the manager's side.
"Give you 5 minutes, warm up, and then go up and change to Leyton."
Rose listened to the manager's instructions, but did not move.
"Do you hear that?"
"What?"
"Warm up, then play."
"Okay, okay......" Rose rushed to warm up.
Because Baines has just returned, George Lee didn't dare to let him play more, so he was ready to let Rose go up and feel the intensity of the Premier League game.
After all, it's not easy to be in the first team once.
Five minutes passed quickly, and Rose was soon back.
"There are no too many requirements, just go up and feel it, don't be afraid to make mistakes......"
George Lee kept watching Danny Rose, and Rose was listening carefully to the head coach's deployment.
The ball went out of bounds and Leeds made the final substitution.
Bynes down, Ross up.
With less than 10 minutes left, the score was 3-0.
When Baines high-five Rose off the court, he remembered the first time he played, when the team's two big brothers, Smith and Van Persie, took him out to see the world after that game.
"Time flies."
