Chapter 266: There is only 1 way to go

Even Xie Lan can see the hidden dangers in Leeds, so this is no secret at all.
After Leeds took the lead, they couldn't relax because they were still facing a very serious situation. How to keep the lead to the end?
If the lead at this time is a team that is extremely good at defensively like London Bridge, they will definitely not say anything, shrink the defense and wait for the final whistle.
But Leeds is not London Bridge, they are not good at defending, and they have not made targeted arrangements.
Although in the game they thought Tramed's offensive was too fierce, they shrank to their third defensive zone and defended.
But that was only temporary, and Leeds didn't defend for too long before trying to attack it.
And still rely on offense to regain the upper hand.
The performance of temporarily defending for a few minutes cannot be used as evidence. It is determined that Leeds City can not hold on for more than 30 minutes of competition.
Clark really didn't think about putting the bus on guard after leading a goal.
He kept the team at their usual pace and continued to deal with Tramed.
When attacking, the two full-backs actively advanced to increase the number of attackers and create a greater threat to suppress Tramed's counterattack.
When defensive, including Hu Lai, they must retreat to their own half-court defense, even if he is not good at defensively.
Everyone tried their best.
Even with the excellent physical strength of Leeds, at this point in a season, no matter how good the physical strength is, it is close to exhaustion. Not to mention that their style of play needs more physical support.
The tremendous pressure of the front runners seemed to be turned into entities, clasped on their shoulders, and they were a little breathless.
After the initial excitement of scoring the lead passed, the performance of Leeds City players began to decline.
Although they are still pursuing goals, if they want to be completely safe, at least they have to lead two goals to be safe.
But Tramed, who was prepared for a long time, responded calmly and not only withstood their offensive, but also used a counterattack to beat the Leeds defensive line.
Here, Ricardo Vallia, the young Portuguese player, took full advantage of his fast speed and good skills to become a sharp knife for Tramed's counterattack, frequently stabbing the vital parts of Leeds!
"Valjanecchi! Beautiful! He shot! Oh so dangerous! Slid out!"
"Baria is really fast! He used his speed to overtake forcibly and sent a pass on the side! The football was pushed out by Grist, but it didn't go far! Van Delft shot long! He hit high under interference. !"
Seeing the danger in front of Leeds from the sidelines, Randyll was a little anxious: "During this period, it is obvious that Tramed's offense is more threatening and more efficient. Tony, you must make a change, shrink the defense. Whether we are good at it or not, there is only one way to go now."
Clark did not respond to the assistant coach's suggestion. He just looked at the court with a solemn expression, not knowing what was thinking.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Clark, Randy had to step back and stand aside and watch the game with Clark.
He is just an assistant coach, no matter what, he can't go on his behalf, bypass the head coach and directly give orders to the players. Since the head coach has not made a decision, he is on standby.
Anyway, if you really lose in the end, that is also the responsibility of the coach. But if he arbitrarily gives orders and causes the team to lose, then this cauldron will be on his head without any suspense.
Clark is indeed hesitating, wondering if he should be determined to shrink the defense.
In the immediate situation, it is clear that Tramed is gradually gaining the upper hand. If Leeds does not shrink, it is really possible to lose the ball.
But if the defense shrinks, Clark doesn't know how long his team can stand.
He always hopes to advance the opponent one goal before conceding the ball.
As long as he can score another goal, he will definitely order the defense immediately without hesitation. This time he will never think that a two-goal lead is not safe
But reason told him that if he continued playing like this, he might lose the ball before Leeds scored.
After thinking about it, Clark finally made a decision that went against his heart. He turned to Randyll and said, "Sam."
Randyll seemed to keep the listener locked on him, turning his head and looking over as soon as Clark opened his mouth.
Clark opened his mouth. But at this moment, his eyes saw that at the edge of the Leeds penalty area, the very active Portuguese genius Valia used a speed to force a breakthrough, leaping the football to the bottom line and catching up. It was just a flimsy shot to make a pass, and he got it back before the football was about to roll out of the bottom line. The Leeds right-back Josh Lawler, who defended him, lost his balance and slipped out of the bottom line to prevent him from crossing
Clark shut his mouth immediately.
Randyle also looked back at the penalty area of ​​Leeds City amidst the huge cheers of the Red Top Stadium.
After Baria rescued the football again, he didn't make any adjustments, but when the Leeds defense reacted, he directly used a flower foot to pass the football to the goal!
Papbonnet competed for the top spot. He and Grist were entangled with each other, and no one could get the ball.
The football flies to the middle.
Tramed's captain Connor Kirk shot out and headed the door!
"Kirk!!"
The football was pushed solidly by Kirk and flew straight to the goal.
For this close header, Leeds goalkeeper Van Deven can only reflexively raise his hand, it is not an effective save at all.
The football hit the edge of his palm, and despite a line change, he jumped into the goal!
Randyle stared in the direction of the goal stunned, and Clark's voice sounded beside him: "Sam, it looks like we have no other way to go except to continue the attack."
"Beautiful! Beautiful goal! Tramed equalized the score! In the 66th minute of the game, Connor Kirk scored a header! Sure enough! This is the championship game we want to see. Come on! Use whatever tricks you have!"
Matthew Cox, the neutral commentator who is not too troublesome to watch the excitement, laughed excitedly.
When Leeds became a little weaker, Tramed's ball was like a shot in the arm. If Leeds still wants to compete for the league title, then they must regain their energy and go all out.
Although this is a bit tormenting Leeds, for all those who want to see a thrilling championship race, it is indeed the key to make them full of expectations.
If Leeds was hit too hard after this loss, and was directly fatal, there would be no more waves. That means they are not qualified to win the championship, smile and accept the league runner-up with peace of mind. For their team that has been "relegated" in the first half of the season, the runner-up is actually a very good result.
But if Leeds is not reconciled, they will do their best to fight Tramed to the last second in this game, and entangle the Stan Park Rangers in the entire league to the final round.
The cheers of the Stan Park Rangers players were all in the ears, and Brooks finally showed a little smile on his face this time.
He was not only because Tramede equalized, but also because he saw Leeds' lack of strength in the game before Tramed equalized.
This made him realize that Leeds may be exhausted, to the point where it is unsustainable.
The league has played 37 rounds so far, fighting intensively, and they are the team that ran the most distance in each game.
In this way they can continue to fight till the end, which is actually quite remarkable.
But the team that makes up Leeds City is after all humans, not machines, so their bodies will get tired and their spirits will relax.
If this continues, it will collapse.
Seeing the possibility of his opponent's collapse, Scott Brooks's heart, which had been hanging all the time, could finally be lowered a little.
In the bar, David Miller and his friends put their heads in their hands and looked up at the picture on the TV screen.
The Tramed players, who are celebrating happily, are pulling their hearts down and out, making them breathless.
They don't have any thoughts in their minds at this moment, and they don't know what to say.
So I can only stay silent and look at the TV in silence, but in fact I can’t see the picture on the screen clearly.
Unknowingly, tears welled up from their eye sockets and muzzled their eyes.
"Oh!" Lilith Raza let out a long sigh, and lay down on the sofa. "It's over, it's troublesome now!"
After speaking, she sat up on the sofa again and turned her gaze to Li Qingqing, wanting to see how the girl would react.
She saw Li Qingqing stand up.
"Eh, what are you doing?"
"Go to the toilet."
Under Lilith's gaze, Li Qingqing really walked into the toilet, then closed the door, and there was a sound of locking from inside.
I really want to go to the bathroom
Is it so calm?
Lilith frowned and looked in the direction of the bathroom.
Li Qingqing stood in front of the bathroom sink, looking at herself in the mirror, frowning and biting her teeth.
She was worried about Hu Lai, but she was helpless.
If she was the only one watching the ball in the apartment as usual, then she would definitely shout out to vent this depressed mood.
But now she didn't want to do that in front of Lilith.
Even if Lilith was already her best friend in Paris Hergère, she didn't want to.
So she could only lock herself in the toilet, trying to calm herself down.
I don't know how long it has passed until she heard a knock on the door outside: "Qingqing, are you okay?"
Only then did Li Qingqing woke up, and then looked in the mirror again to confirm that there was no problem with her appearance, pressed the toilet flush button, and pretended that she had actually gone to the toilet just now.
Then he opened the door and came out: "It's okay, why do you ask, Lilith?"
"Uh, I think you haven't come out in a while," Lilith said while looking at Li Qingqing carefully, as if she wanted to find some clues on her face.
Li Qingqing quickly glanced at the TV screen and found that the game had restarted, and the time had passed by three minutes.
"It didn't take long, I just don't want to watch Tramed celebrate."
"Are you worried about Hu?"
Li Qingqing nodded and hummed softly.
Lilith patted her on the shoulder, and comforted: "Look at the open point, Qingqing. Actually, it's good to be the runner-up!"
Li Qingqing didn't answer, because she didn't think it was a good thing to be runner-up.
