Chapter 202: Goals are gone


When Hu Lai lost his balance in the air and fell to the ground, there was already a huge boo in the stands of the Flanders Stadium.
When seeing the referee decisively pointing his hand to the penalty spot, the Leeds City fans turned around and turned their heads into cheers.
"Penalty!!" He Feng was also shouting excitedly, "There is nothing wrong with this penalty! Menayer jumped to Hu Lai without catching the ball and knocked him down. There is no doubt that this is a foul. !"
Cox needs to be a little more rigorous. After all, he is a British commentator. In addition to Leeds City fans and North London Rangers fans, he must not be too biased in his commentary.
So he waited until he returned after watching the slow motion and said: "Menayer really committed a foul, he knocked Hu. If he didn't, Hu might have pushed the ball into Lame's goal! "
Menayer, like Camara just now, ran to the referee and kept explaining to him: "He fell too exaggerated, sir! I don't have that great effort!"
The referee ignored the strong Menaye, but continued to stand on the penalty spot and signaled Leeds to come up for a penalty kick.
Hu Lai was hugged by Captain Lorenzo to celebrate the penalty, and more players rushed to surround them both.
Camara didn't go up, he stood outside and stared at Hu Lai, who had been submerged in the crowd of teammates.
He saw Hu Lai jumping up to fight for the top, and he also saw Hu Lai being knocked down like a rag.
The whole process was very simple, nothing fancy, he didn't even scream.
But the referee gave a penalty without hesitation!
Camara originally thought that after half a season of continuous hard training and careful consideration, he could already be a teacher in this regard.
Only now did I know that I was still far from Hu Lai...
The players of the North London Rangers surrounded the referee and pointed to the Leeds City players who were celebrating, yelling: "He's a flop! A flop!"
The referee waved to disperse them.
Is it a flop, can't I see it? I want you guys to say it!
Besides, the VAR video referee team did not remind him through headphones, indicating that there was no problem with his sentence.
It is true that Menaye knocked down Hulay, and he jumped to Hulay-this is a very important evidence, enough to prove that Menaye subjectively wanted to prevent Hulay from scoring a foul.
Football does not oppose physical contact and confrontation, but there must be a degree. It's all here. Saying Hu Lai is a fake throw, is it really blind to be the referee?
※※※
The penalty has not changed, and the players of both sides withdrew from the penalty area.
Although this penalty was created by Hu Lai, he was not the one who took the penalty.
Captain Lorenzo Esposito, who is also the team’s number one penalty shooter, stood in front of the penalty spot with a football already placed under his feet.
The Flanders Stadium was quiet for an instant, and all the fans looked at the door of the Wanderers in North London with breathlessness.
Off the court Sean Barnett is also staring there, but he is different from the teammates around him who expect Lorenzo to not score. He prays to God deep in his heart that Leeds can break the deadlock.
The crisp whistle broke the silence, Lorenzo stepped to start in the eyes of all kinds of attention, and then shot the football to the goal!
Although Lorenzo's physical condition has declined with age this season, there is still no difficulty in penalty kicks for his team's top penalty shooter.
Lame, the French national goal of the North London Rangers, jumped to the right, but the football flew to the left!
"Goal scored!!" Cox raised his arms and shouted, "The deadlock was finally broken! Lorenzo Esposito! He opened the scoring for Leeds with a penalty kick! At the end of the first half, Leeds Take the lead!"
After the goal, Lorenzo did not rush to celebrate, but turned to find Hulay outside the penalty area and hug him.
Hu Lai earned this ball for him.
It's a pity that now in the Premier League, penalties are no longer counted as assists. Otherwise, Hu Lai will complete his first assist in the league this season.

Sean Barnett resisted the urge to cheer for Leeds City's goal on the bench for the North London Rangers with great willpower.
Just waved his fist in his heart.
Leeds City is ahead!
He began to look forward to being called back from the court by the head coach during the intermission and entrusting him with a heavy responsibility.
But this scene did not appear.
During the intermission, he and other substitutes warmed up outside until the second half was about to start, and he was not called to the locker room.
Head coach Oman did not make substitution adjustments.
Sean Barnett, who was sitting on the bench, did not expect that one goal behind would not be enough to remind the coach of himself.
Then he can only hope that Leeds City will score another goal...
If two goals are behind, there will always be a chance to play, right?
※※※
It is difficult for the North London Rangers, who are one goal behind, to continue the tactic of putting the bus in front of the goal in the first half, but their aggressive tactics have not changed in general, and are even more aggressive than the first half.
They put the pressure on the premise, and also launched crazy interceptions in the midfield.
Hunting for two Leeds city midfield organizers, Jay Adams and Pete Williams.
This style of play is actually very risky, because once Leeds is pulled out, everything behind him is empty.
However, with one goal behind, the North London Rangers have few tactics to choose from.
Oman still decided to take a gamble.
The bet that Leeds City will be rushed by the siege of North London Wanderers.
Betting that the North London Rangers can seize the limited opportunity to equalize.
Once the two sides return to the same starting line, he will naturally return the team to the state of the first half.
In fact, Oman's tactics were quite successful. Leeds attacked so fiercely in the first half. In the end, it was the penalty earned by Hulay in the penalty area to break the deadlock.
If there were no penalty kicks, Leeds would still be able to take the North London Rangers' bus.
This gave Oman the confidence to play so-as long as we can equalize the score, then with the style of Leeds, they will definitely play more and more impatient in the second half, and then it will be our chance!
Of course, there is a prerequisite for such a kick, that is, you cannot be scored by the opponent before the equalizer. Once two goals are behind, it's over, and the basis for tactical execution will no longer exist.
※※※
The tactics of the North London Rangers can see the problem, so Clark did not start to shrink the defense line because of the opponent's siege, but continued to maintain the offensive, hoping to break the opponent's pressure with a sharp attack.
At this time, it's like two people fighting to the death. Defense is useless. You huddled together all over, it just delays the time when you are killed, and cannot change the result of being killed. It's better to fight back bravely, maybe you can give the opponent a fatal blow first.
Just as the best way to sneak in is to kill all enemies, the best way to save your life is to kill the opponent one step ahead.
The best defense is offense.
In response to the siege tactics of the North London Rangers, Leeds City's strategy is to avoid the transition in midfield, pass directly forward, and pass more adventurous through balls.
Although the success rate is lower, even if it is not attacked, it will have little impact on Leeds' defense.
But once the fight is completed... it will kill the Rangers!
※※※
"The North London Rangers attacked forward, but their forward pass was cut off by Adams. Now it's Leeds City's turn to fight back!"
Accompanied by the sudden increase in cheers from the Flanders Stadium, Jay Adams, who succeeded in stealing the ball, kicked the football to the right and gave it to Charlie Porter.
With his back facing the offensive direction, Porter directly returned the football to Pete Williams, who came up with it.
Williams looked up before catching the ball and saw a huge gap on the left.
So he didn't stop the ball and swiped the ball from Charlie Porter!
The football was flew close to the ground by him, and rushed to the empty space on the left at a very fast speed!
There, Kamara has already ran forward at high speed to the open space. If Williams's pass is weak, maybe Kamara will run past...
But it's just right now!
"Chance of Leeds City!"
Camara raised his left foot on the touchline and stopped the football at the same time ~EbookFREE.me~ went forward!
It was like a gust of wind passing by the North London Rangers right back Hayes, and the opponent's hands and feet went up and stopped. This time he really wanted to foul Kamala, but Kamala did not give him this opportunity!
He threw himself away!
After running through Hayes, Camara caught up with the football and leaned the football directly into the penalty area. After attracting the defensive forces of North London to pounce on him, he pushed the football sideways with his left foot!
The football passed to the middle.
Central defender Rollin Menayer rushed towards the football, intending to clear the ball.
At this time, he can't pay attention to observe the surrounding situation at all, because there is no time!
And don’t care about the surroundings, as long as he can kick the football out, even if he completes a successful defense...
But just as he stretched his foot towards the football, a leg appeared abruptly in front of his eyes!
Then he watched as he kicked the football first!
"HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!" Cox began to accumulate energy.
Hu Lai's ghostly blow not only made Menaye unresponsive, but also surprised Lame, the French national of the North London Rangers. For this close shot, his subconscious action was still half a beat...
The football flew into the goal!
The "goal shortage" of not scoring goals in three consecutive league rounds is broken!
"LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI!!!" Cox yelled when he was fully charged, "Smart running, decisive shooting! Hu Lai finished the shot before Menaye! Beautiful! Leeds took a two-goal lead! For Oman, the North London Rangers are in the most difficult situation! They are two goals behind in the away game!"
