Chapter 123: pour cold water on

Ricardo Moya's adjustments during the intermission still played a role.
At the same time, Alvara's players also know that they have had a lasting fight and there is no way out.
The head coach repeatedly mentioned "this is our home court" during the intermission. It is definitely not only to boost their confidence, but more importantly, to tell them:
This is our home court. If we can't win the opponent at home, then this season's Europa League will be completely over!
So if you still want to fight for the championship, do your best for Lao Tzu!
So after the start of the second half, Alvara launched a fierce offensive towards the restricted area of ​​Leeds City.
Their center, Serbian international Dejord Igor frequently pulls out of the penalty area to bring out the Leeds defenders and create opportunities for other teammates to advance.
In the 61st minute, it was Igor who took Ben Gristella out of the penalty area. Alvara’s Brazilian midfielder Eri accurately passed the football to the empty space behind Grist. Lesinho was very fast. Speed ​​into the gap, and then rushed the football into the goal of Leeds City before the attacking goalkeeper Van Deven!
"Pretty-!! Lesinho! Lesinho! He got back a goal for Alvara!" The Portuguese commentator shouted excitedly.
Cheers were also thunderous in the stands of the Lisbon Arena, and the fans of the home team were cheering for Lesinho.
In the first half of the stand, which was still a little silent, all Alvara fans seemed to come alive.
After the goal, Lesinho was very happy. He ran to the sidelines and jumped for a samba with the teammates who came up.
Moya on the sidelines also let out a sigh of relief.
Although he only pulled back a goal, Alvara was still behind in the score.
But this goal is a good start.
Helped the team to restore morale at the most critical time, and also hit the opponent hard.
Next, Alvara only needs to continue to play like this, take advantage of the victory and pursue, maybe he will be able to tie the score in a short time.
There is still time for the team to turn defeat into victory.
Yes, just kick it!
After the initial cheers and excitement, Moya walked to the sidelines to gesture to the players.
He waved his hand to Leeds City at halftime to signal the players to continue their attack after the game began.
Maintain this rhythm and intensity, and also maintain this strategy, use center Igor to call out the opponent's defender, and then attack players such as Lesignio from the back row and quickly insert into the penalty area.
Create chaos in front of Leeds City’s gates and let their already unbearable line of defense lose sight of one another.
Thinking of this, he also cast a glance at the visiting coach's bench by the way.
Tony Clark, the head coach of Leeds City, sat in his seat and did not get up.
He didn't give any instructions, as if he was frightened and dumbfounded.
Seeing this scene, Moya was relieved-it seemed that the opponent was only strong outside. In fact, they are like walking a tightrope, and they may fall off the cliff with a little carelessness.
If I didn’t go all out and fight Leeds, I might be really bluffed by their compulsive composure...
Now that the deadlock has been broken, the next game will return to Alvara's favorite rhythm!
As if to confirm Moya's idea, fans in the stands of the Lisbon Arena are singing Alvara's team song in unison to cheer for the team.
The home field that allows people to draw strength is back!
※※※
Alvara regained his morale and continued to move towards Leeds City's goal after the game restarted.
Joao Valente yelled excitedly in the stands: "Come on, Alvara! Go ahead, Alvara!"
After following the other fans to shout slogans, he also slammed his fists to the stadium alone and shouted: "The counterattack begins now!"
On the court, Lesinio took the ball to face Junpei Morikawa's interception, and resolutely used speed to break through. Although Junpei Morikawa was good at card position, his speed was really not fast enough in front of Lesinho and was easily thrown away by the opponent. open.
Alvara fans cheered over the Lisbon Arena.
Amidst the cheers, Lesignio stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward at high speed.
Even Camara, who is facing back defense, is not at all shocked. Keep in mind coach Moya's advice to him during the intermission-don't be afraid, just fight the opponent for speed!
He buried his head and took the ball, then caught up before the football was about to roll out of the baseline, and passed to the goal.
Igor jumped up in the middle to compete with Ben Grist.
The two people collided with each other, the football was still pushed by Grist and thrown out of the penalty area.
However, Alvara controlled the second point again, and Eri volleyed directly against the flying football outside the penalty area!
The football goes forward against the turf!
There are people everywhere in the penalty area. As long as you can meet anyone, you may be able to change the line and fly into the goal!
In fact, it was indeed a line change-Van Devin rushed to the left, and in the penalty area the football hit the foot of Leeds city defender Bradford who was stretched out to intercept, refracted and flew to the other side.
Fortunately, the angle of refraction was relatively large, and the football went straight to the bottom line.
Otherwise, once it is within the goal range, the ball may be scored...
The Leeds City fans were frightened, and the Alvara fans thumped their chests, but soon they re-energized and continued to cheer for the team.
From this series of offenses, they really saw the team's hope of equalizing the score.
Unfortunately for the next corner kick, Alvara failed to threaten Leeds’ goal. Instead, Leeds took the opportunity to fight back and almost threatened their own goal.
Had it not been for their left back Nathan Shay to chase back tenaciously and break the football out of the sideline in the 30-meter area, Alvara's goal would be really dangerous.
Therefore, when Shay completed the tackle and destruction, he received applause from the Alvara fans.
Everyone is grateful for his successful defense this time, for the team to gain time to return to defense.
The other Alvara players returned to their defenses and built two lines of defense in the 30-meter area to deal with Leeds’ attack. The outermost line of defense is composed of forwards, and the second line of defense is a mix of defenders and midfielders, ensuring that there is not much space at the front of their penalty zone.
This is also one of Alvara's changes in the second half-when they face Leeds offensive, they are no longer thinking about offense all the time like in the first half, so they will inevitably be a little impetuous when defensive.
Now their defense is defense, tighten the fence, defend Leeds City's offense first, and then consider other things. When defending, he was calm and did not give Leeds more opportunities and opportunities.
The offense has improved and the defense is solid, which will naturally make the Alvara fans in the stands full of hope for the next game.
Even the Portuguese TV commentator praised the team’s performance:
Alvara was in the first half of the game. Although the head coach Moya made a mistake in his tactics at the beginning of the game, his adjustments during the intermission were still very good. Timely and very useful... After all, this is the first time Alvara has played against Leeds City. Before, I didn’t know enough about their strength and style, and it was normal... The important thing is the future. After adapting to Leeds City’s offensive style , Alvara is about to launch a counterattack at home!"
Speaking of this, the commentator looked at the Alvara players who were on defense and did not add: "Of course, the premise is to defend Leeds City's attack first."
※※※
Leeds throws the ball out of the city boundary, facing the two lines of defense formed by Alvara inside and outside the penalty area, there is no good way.
At first, they tried to organize an offense on the right and broke into the penalty area.
But under the overall movement of Alvara's defense line, he did not get a chance.
And he almost lost possession of the ball and allowed the opponent to counterattack. At that time, Pete Williams was intercepted by Alvara midfielder Eri while he was in possession of the ball.
Seeing that Eri was about to bypass Williams and poke the football to Lesinho.
The latter leaned forward, ready to accelerate and rush forward.
At this time, even the central defender of Leeds City is pressed to the center line. If Eri is allowed to pass the football and Lesignio can play the speed advantage again, Leeds' goal will be dangerous.
At this critical moment, Morikawa Junpei once again demonstrated his value.
Jump in front of Eri, with his legs close together, and block Eri's ball!
Eric still wanted to keep possession of the ball, but was snatched by Junpei Morikawa, and then he split the football to Jay Adams.
Adams quickly shifted and crossed the football to the left side of Leeds City to Camara.
After Camara received the ball, Leeds left-back Farek Quinn ran forward from behind him, attracting Alvara right-back Ibrahimba, and Camara took the opportunity to cut inside and develop horizontally.
He took a step laterally and saw that the Alvara midfielder Luca Bloom, who was recovered into the penalty area for defense, didn't mean to come up and pounce on him, but to defend his own defense zone firmly. It should be to prevent himself from breaking into the penalty zone. .
When Camara saw this, he simply kicked a long shot.
He lifted his right foot and shot the football towards the goal!
Just as the football just left the foot, Hulay, who was guarding the back point, suddenly shot out from behind Alvara's central defender Bruno Pinto and ran to the goal!
At this time, Pinto's entire attention was on football, and he didn't even notice what was happening behind him.
Don’t talk about him, even Alvara’s other central defender, Matthew Kefir, didn’t notice Hulai, even though Hulai rushed out in front of him, he still stared at Camara’s shot. ...
Bloom saw Camara kick off the goal, and reflexively stretched his foot to block it.
He stopped the football, but didn't stop it completely-the football hit his calf slightly deflected and still flew towards the goal!
Alvara goalkeeper Ferreira, who had fallen to the ground to save, became a victim of his stretched leg... Facing the changing direction of football, he could only change his hand shape hastily, but failed to grasp the football. The ball flew out of his chest!
"Get off!"
Pinto saw the football get rid of ~EbookFREE.me~ so he wanted to start the rescue, but he got a flower!
The 14th of Leeds City has appeared in front of him, blocking his back in front of him, and showing off his face with his back number and name by the way.
"Hu Lai!!"
Ferreira's second reaction was very fast. He had no time to get up again, so he reached out and shoveled towards the football, trying to interfere with Hulai's shot.
But Hu Lai was the first to stretch out his foot and gently stabbed the football that came over!
The football flew into Alvara's goal just before Ferreira's foot shoveled!
At this moment, the three people on Alvara's back line, except Pinto, all maintained the posture they had when Camara shot the goal just now-with their legs crossed, they turned their heads to watch the play.
Time seems to have been pressed by Hu Lai by pressing the pause button, only he can freely shuttle in this still time and space!
