Jose Benal has some doubts and hesitations about his previous decision, but this does not prevent him from making a decision now.
attack.
Still have to attack.
And it's a fiercer attack!
There is no need to hesitate.
Because Catalonia has fallen behind on their home court, what else can they do if they don’t attack?
Should we shrink the defense instead to avoid throwing more balls?
For Catalonia today, there is no difference between conceding one goal and conceding more goals.
If they can't get it back, they still lose.
And Cathay United can't afford to lose!
Regardless of whether it is in terms of face or actual results, they cannot afford to lose.
The Catalan United, who had been leading the group by a large margin, didn't want to give up the group first.
So after the game restarted, Catalonia continued to attack Leeds.
But what surprised everyone, including Benal and assistant coach Vazquez, was...
"Damn it! Why are they still attacking?!"
Benal widened his eyes and asked his assistant.
Vazquez stared at the stadium blankly, unable to give any answer.
Because he didn't even think about it.
For them, Leeds City, who has managed to take the lead, has completed their biggest goal. Then they must shrink the defense and try to keep the advantage of the ball.
As a result, when the game restarted, the morale of Leeds, who had just scored a goal, was greatly boosted. They even took advantage of this momentum to continue to attack Cathay United's goal!
They... are not yet satisfied with the lead by one goal? !
The Catalan United players on the field were also very surprised.
They are all ready to besiege Leeds at halftime-for the strong midfielder Catalonia, the siege is the best offensive method that can give full play to their strengths.
As long as Leeds shrinks the defense and surrenders possession of the ball outside the 30-meter area, they can use the organization of Rosas and Campsano in the midfield and the cooperation of the two wings to reach Leeds' goal. Launch a continuous offensive.
At that time, it would be like cutting meat with a blunt knife, grinding Leeds to death.
But after the start of the game, with this idea, they slammed into the offensive frenzy set off by Leeds City-Catalonia rushed so hard that the empty space behind them made Leeds a threat to catch and fight. Counterattack.
"Camara-Camara! Leeds City launched an offensive on the wing, he directly drove the ball to the Catalan United goal!"
In the deafening boos and exclamations of the Sagrada Familia Stadium, after Camarane cut into the penalty area, he waited a while and passed the football horizontally, trying to find Hu Lai who had outflanked the middle.
Fuqiong, who was chasing back, quickly tackled and destroyed!
The football did not fly out of the bottom line after being shoveled up by him. Instead, it drew a somewhat strange arc, and went in the back corner of the goal, scaring the goalkeeper Codlow who was in the front point into a cold sweat, rolling and crawling on all fours. And use the land to turn around and go back to the point.
It wasn't until he saw the football that the football had crossed the bottom line, that he was relieved, and he slipped to the ground...
The entire grandstand of the Sagrada Familia stadium burst out again cheering for Hu Lai: "Huh!!!"
"Fuqiong!! Good risk! He almost kicked an own goal!" The Spanish TV commentator had a lingering fear.
Fuqiong was half lying and half sitting on the ground, watching the direction of the football flying out of the bottom line, his mouth was slightly open and panting, the whole person was stunned, as if he hadn't recovered yet.
Just by looking at him like this, he knew that he was terribly scared.
After all, he almost completely lost the hope of bringing Catalonia back...

On the sidelines, Clark regretfully jumped up. He held his head in his hands when he landed, looking like a child whose wish was not fulfilled.
No wonder he was so excited.
If this goal is scored, the game will completely lose suspense...
Leeds can retreat from the away game and take away three points.
You know, this is at the Holy Family Stadium!
There are not many teams that can beat Catalonia in this stadium, and even if other European giants come here, they may not be able to get a bargain.
If Leeds could do it... he admitted that he would wake up with a smile at night.
He, the loser who was swept out in the second division of England three years ago, will have today!
Assistant coach Sam Landier knew what Clark was thinking, and he patted the latter on the shoulder to comfort him: "It's okay, Tony, it's okay!"
As he talked, he laughed himself-I would comfort the team's coach just because I didn't score the goal. It seems like this is a regrettable thing... How bloated am I?
※※※
The Catalan United players are now a little bit waxing-they need to attack, even full attack. But the opponent's performance made them realize that if they really come out, maybe Leeds can score another goal...
This is not alarmist, combined with the previous performance of Leeds City, every Catalan player believes in this.
They want to attack, but they dare not attack completely.
This ambivalence was reflected in the game, and the Catalan fans in the stands were able to see it.
Someone in the audience sipped: "Damn it! They are not afraid to attack like this, are they missing a goal?! That is the lead that was finally won..."
He is complaining about Leeds City, which is still attacking. He hopes that Leeds City can shrink the defense and give up space and ball rights to Catalonia.
Antonio Valero, who was standing next to him, glanced at him, saying that maybe the Leeds City players didn't care if they could win. Looking at them, it seems that Leeds City is just enjoying the fun of attacking Catalonia...
This game can finally be played like this, Valero really did not expect.
This is not the first time Catalonia has played against Leeds. The last time they beat Leeds 3:1 away, they were still a normal opponent. Even if it was the same desperate attack at the end of the game, it was because it was already three goals behind that it was decided to give it a go, not to mention that it was Leeds’ own home court.
Any team would probably choose to attack in that situation...
Today's Leeds city is like a group of lunatics who have no reason or can't think at all. They are acting entirely on their own instincts.
Their instinct is...offensive.
As if bloodthirsty, the smell of blood emanating from the torn wounds of Catalonia spurred them to be fierce!

"Oh... why don't you defend?"
Xie Lan complained about gains and losses in front of the TV.
She watched so many Leeds City games, how could she not know the style of Leeds City football?
But she still made such a complaint, simply because she is very nervous now, for fear that when Leeds is desperately attacking, the Catalan will seize the opportunity and fall short. The three points in your hand become one point...
In fact, if you think about it carefully, even one point is a good result. Because before the start of the game, not many people believed the result of a tie.
But Xie Lan doesn't think so now. Since you can get three points, who wants to take only one point?
Hu Lixin comforted her: "In fact, it was the right choice to play against the Catalan United. Now it is obvious that the Catalan United is unstable, but it is a good opportunity to score again. It is to take advantage of their low morale and hesitate. If you increase your offensive force, you might be able to score another goal. If you score another goal, you will be locked in the victory. And even if you can't score any more goals, you can successfully consume the game time with very little left..."
"That's how it is said, but they really don't worry about being scored by Catalonia?"
While talking, the TV broadcast happened to cut a close-up shot of Tony Clark. Hu Lixin looked at Clark standing on the sidelines and waving his hands to keep the players high-pressure and said: "Maybe... Clark doesn't care about himself at all. Can the team beat Catalonia away on the road..."
"Ah? Don't pursue victory? What else can you pursue if you don't pursue victory?" Xie Lan was surprised.
"I just want to find a suitable opponent to play a game happily..." Hu Lixin murmured, but he quickly shook his head: "I'm just talking nonsense, you don't have to go to your heart. Anyway, for the current situation. In terms of the situation, the offense seems risky, but it is indeed Leeds’ best coping strategy. If they shrink the defense, they will be 100% unable to defend the last ten minutes of the game."
These words didn't let Xie Lan relax, but she became even more nervous, and the tremor of her body was visible to the naked eye.
Seeing his wife like this, Hu Lixin stopped talking, just smiled and shook his head slightly, and continued to watch his game.
In the TV broadcast, the narrator He Feng said: "For Coach Clark, a one-goal lead is probably the most dangerous score in the world. Therefore, he clearly took the lead, and Leeds’ offensive has become stronger than before... If it weren't for booing, who could believe that Leeds was actually fighting away!"
※※※
The boos were loud and thunderous.
If before this game, the Catalan fans had no opinion on Leeds City's opponent, didn't like it or hated it, or even had no impression. So after playing this game, no matter what the result is, Leeds City will probably leave a very deep impression on these Catalan fans.
For a long time, they will not forget this team that can play against Catalonia at the Sagrada Familia and still lead.
It is not that Catalonia has not lost at their home court, nor has it ever lost to a team that is not as strong as theirs here.
But those opponents who are not as strong as theirs, even if they can win at the Sagrada Familia Stadium, either rely on luck or rely on the bus.
In the memory of many Catalan United fans, at least after entering the 21st century, they have not seen a team that can win here relying on more fierce offensive firepower than Catalan United...

When Mario Salado faced Josh Lawler's defense, he tried to sway his opponent with continuous changes.
But this time he failed to succeed.
Because when he changed direction for the first time, he slipped, lost his balance, and sat down on the ground.
The ball was naturally lost, and Leeds right-back Lawler, who was blocked in front, got it easily.
"...Salado made a mistake without any physical contact, and his stamina is close to the limit..." the Spanish commentator said in a very regretful tone, "Salado did very well in this game. Very active. But the price of being active is that his stamina is consumed faster than usual..."
It seems to be to prove that the commentator is correct. After losing the ball, Salado didn't even get up from the ground as quickly as before, but instead sat on the ground and watched Lawler pass the football out.
Benal raised his wrist to look at his watch, the 84th minute of the game.
"Mario's stamina is exhausted, he can no longer hold on to the game, we must replace him..." assistant coach Alberto Vazquez suggested in a low voice next to him.
"Well, take him down and rest." Benal sighed.
He originally wanted Salado to play the entire game, because Salado's personal assault ability is very important for the current Catalan United. When Leeds was heavily pressured, Salado could often solve the problem alone.
But now it seems that it is difficult for Salado to stick to it, and it makes no sense for him to stay on the court when he is exhausted.
Fortunately, Benal has left a substitution spot in his hands. Otherwise, in the last ten minutes of the game, the Catalan United will be able to challenge with ten players.
When assistant coach Vazquez ran away from the warm-up and called back the players to be replaced, Benal continued to focus on the game.
Leeds City's attack once again advanced to the front of Catalonia.
Their counterattack started when Mario Salado lost the ball.
Hulay was so attracted to Jiménez in the penalty area that the Catalan back line failed to put pressure on Pete Williams who took the ball in time, but instead followed and retreated.
This made Benal smell dangerous.
His eyes widened~EbookFREE.me~ he couldn't help waving his arms and roaring loudly: "Don't go back, press up!!"
It's a pity that the Catalan United players on the field couldn't hear him in the extremely noisy environment.
He just watched Peter Williams suddenly take a cold shot at the front of the big penalty area!
Fortunately, goalkeeper Codlow made a wonderful save, holding the football out of the crossbar with a single palm, and did not let the football fly into the goal.
Benal only exhaled.
Although a corner kick was given to Leeds City, it was better than being scored directly.
It was really too dangerous for Catalonia just now...
Jose Benal only felt his heart beating in his chest.
