Chapter 49: A counterattack to fight back!
The first appearance means to describe a good start at the beginning. This word is quite suitable for Leeds. Leeds has developed from the initial locker room crisis to the head coach and the chairman firing, and the head coach changed hands, and Song Shiwan took the stage. There was no good news. Song Shiwan himself is not the kind of guy who is full of turtle aura and needs pads to survive. A person who is not good at speaking and looks a little natural and stupid to subdue a group of thorns in the locker room can only rely on one victory after another. Now, Song Shiwan has finally accumulated a certain degree of trust. The three consecutive wins of the Premier League and the FA Cup and the good momentum in the UEFA Cup made the players begin to feel that it might be good to change to such a head coach who is used to slapping the face with data.
After the second half of the game started again, the players finally had a sense of confidence, which was a dependence on the head coach. Just like when Ferguson, Ancelotti, and Mourinho's players appeared, their faces were filled with incomprehensible confidence. This confidence would appear before the game started, and even appeared very nonsensical. If you study it carefully, you will find that a large part of the reason why the players have this natural confidence rather than a shameful expression comes from the head coach's winning rate.
For example, Benitez during Liverpool's period, Benitez won 114 victories in the first 200 games, which is no weaker than the top coaches of the same league, Ferguson and Wenger. The winning rate is as high as 57%, even higher than Hollier's 50.5% and Paisley's 56.6%, second only to Darglish's 60%. Behind Liverpool's players are head coaches with such results. Will they not be confident? Impossible!
Song Shiwan, who cannot lead the player in words, can only accumulate one victory after another. Only by proving himself right in practice can he allow players to have a natural confidence when standing on the court without saying anything. This is football.
After the start of the second half, Feyenoord did not rush to attack. Leeds instantly increased the ball possession rate of 57.6% to 61%, which made Feyenoord fans even more unbearable. In the second half, booed almost from the beginning of the game. Interestingly, the booed was not given to Leeds who came from afar, but to Feyenoord's own players.
Van Marvik was crazy. He watched Cowell, a elves-like player, rampaging on the wing, but there was no way. Camoranesi rushed around the right side. The winger who could not run at all disappeared in the first half, and replaced it with a super winger as strong as Figo! Thomason and Hoydonk were waiting in the frontcourt after appearing in the second half. If they could not stop the ball, how could they fight this counterattack?
"Press! Just do what I told you during the break, and I will be responsible after losing the ball!!!"
Van Marvik can only improve the team's field disadvantage by easeing the pressure on the players. When a head coach who plays a defensive counterattack begins to worry about his opponent's possession, the result is long ago destined.
Bosway, who received the command of the coach, turned around and rushed towards Kowell. Kowell, who was playing in a high way, was fighting with Shinoji Ono. After shaking his feet twice in a row, he suddenly pushed the ball to the right. He originally planned to turn around and throw his back to Shinoji Ono, but at the moment of plucking the ball, he saw a back first!
Boswitt's back was stuck between Cowell and the football, and even if Cowell pretended to be too fast and couldn't stop hitting him, it was still useless!
The opponent actually chose to snatch around this time instead of defending in the same area as before. He had long been mentally prepared to be hit. How could Kewell have hit?
Boswit, who had been suppressed and finally got the ball, saw Pauwei running out just after getting the ball. At the same time, he also saw Bati who was rushing over to him. At this time, he had no choice but to send the ball out.
Cowell showed a smile on the court helplessly, and then tried hard to run to the left. It was too normal to be intercepted as a winger, and there was nothing to be discouraged. Contributing his own strength to preserve the situation on the court is the best way to make up for the failure.
Pawuwei played a fancy gun. After getting the ball, he should have faced Bati who changed direction as soon as possible. But at this moment, he dunked the ball back and spiked the ball towards Bati. In this way, Bati could only pass by Pawuwei. At the same time, Pawuwei suddenly raised his thigh and kicked it directly on the football - touch!
A low flat ball passes directly with 25 meters!!!
Potential players can often perform better under heavy pressure. This is also the reason why Song Shiwan often formulates values between X and Y instead of fixed values when formulating player data. At this moment, Pauwei's 25-meter straight pass is definitely the result of the explosion.
Football shuttled through the Leeds players. When the power gradually removed, a sneaker that was not stained with soil was stepped on it. The football was instantly stopped on the court - Hoydonk! He didn't show his face in front of the camera in this game!
Wading and turning around, Hoydonk exploded quickly at the beginning of the second half. Kowell had just returned to the full-back position and was about to entangle Hoydonk, but Hoydonk ignored his quick cut.
Feyenoord finally saw the opportunity. Now Leeds has only one midfielder in the half, except for the neat central defender. If he doesn't seize this opportunity and wait for the opponent's midfielder to come back, he will fail. Unexpectedly, Feyenoord actually went to the front of the game with a heart-to-heart relationship, and quickly completed a fast attack in a counterattack!
This is a sense of rhythm that is forced out. Not to mention this offensive speed in the UEFA Cup, even in the entire football circle today!
The moment Hoydonk cut was entangled by Dakot, his talent was fully demonstrated. He understood that Feyenoord needed only time at this time, and time needed the fastest shot to control...passing the ball.
The football was transmitted by Hoydonk as if it had eyes. Boswitt in the midfield just rushed up. In that second, he didn't have to choose. He picked the football with his toes in the countryside. The football flew up about ten meters in front of the center circle, crossed the Leeds half of the defense line and flew towards the other side. Van Persie was waiting there!
How to attack is no longer a problem. Feyenoord's others have set an example. Van Persie did not dare to stop the ball and shook his head directly. When the football fell just now, it suddenly changed direction and flew to the penalty area at a not-so-fast speed.
Woodgate was rushing back frantically, Deselli was not in the defensive position, Dacott had just turned around, and in the penalty area, Feyenoord's Thomason succeeded in offside like a wild horse!
"Feyenoord's cooperation and beautiful counterattack, let's see how Van Persie handles this ball... Beautiful way of handling it, Van Persie showed such strong football wisdom on the field at a young age. Sooner or later, he will become a superstar! Thomason succeeded in the offside, can he score!!!"
Song Shiwan ignored the backcourt at this time and shouted suddenly at the frontcourt: "Robi, get ready!!!"
Swish!!!
When the camera lens swayed to Song Shiwan when he returned to Leeds goal, Leeds' goal was empty and there was no Leeds goalkeeper Martin there. At this time, the camera was looking for the front of the penalty area and suddenly saw a running figure hedging with Thomason. The football happened to fall between them. At this moment, Martin jumped high on the penalty spot and reached out and punched it out in one box. Although Thomason jumped up, the length of an arm could only make him sigh!!!
The last line of defense in Song Shiwan's entire set of equations is Martin. The last move to suppress the opponent's forward's single shot is naturally the goalkeeper's one-on-one attack!!!
As long as the ball is in the air and lands in the penalty area, the goalkeeper will have endless advantages. Even a 170CM goalkeeper can grab the ball from the 180CM striker because he can use his hands.
"Strike back!!!"
Song Shiwan howled, and then immediately rolled up his sleeves and stared at the watch. Over the past week, Song Shiwan has focused all his attention on counterattacks in addition to contacting his previous tactics. The easiest tactic in the world to succeed is counterattacks, especially when the opponent's players are pressing up. As long as the speed is fast, a single sword can easily be used.
The moment the football rolled in front of Hart, Hart kept passing the ball with a straight pass to Bati. Bati quickly inserted the ball into the right side, and Camoranesi directly rubbed the outside of the football on the right side. The football surrounded the opponent's fullback in an arc in a low flat ball. At that moment, a figure quickly emerged.
Robbie!!!!!! Keane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Robbie Keane was crazy. Of course, he could not give up the opportunity to take the lead. The moment he received the ball, he rushed forward with force, and then he rushed out like an arrow.
He would not turn back even if there were many people chasing him. As long as the other party was still behind him, it would be meaningless to turn back.
In his eyes, there was only the goal, and the opponent's goalkeeper who was holding the goal.
"It's too fast. I thought Feyenoord's counterattack was already fast enough. I didn't expect Leeds, which is known for offensive football, could also make such a fast counterattack. However, the line of this counterattack seems to have been tested countless times, and it doesn't look flexible at all."
Can you not be rigid? Song Shiwan doesn't have much time to train. He can only follow his own equation. After suppressing his opponent on the left side, he handed the ball to the right side in the counterattack and returned to the middle side, because at this time there will be enough space on the right side, and he has no time to experiment with other lines.
"But it doesn't matter. Robbie Keane has stepped into the penalty area. The passing of the low-flat ball is more safe than the high-ball. At least the goalkeeper dares not attack rashly. Robbie Keane began to slow down. He rushed to the front of the goalkeeper and shot... Feyenoord's goalkeeper's hard save... He was deceived. The shot just now was just a fake move. Robbie Keane trolled the ball in the direction of the opponent's save, avoided the opponent's interception, and picked the ball!"
Song Shiwan's eyes moved away from his watch, and the entire attack did not exceed three seconds. The last pass was just about five meters away from the penalty area. Robbie Keane stepped into the penalty area in a few steps, from entering the penalty area to shooting, a total of two seconds. In other words, from the first pass to Robbie Keane running out, successfully counter-offside, entering the goal, and drifting past the goalkeeper, it only took a little more than five seconds in total!
Enter!!!
Seeing this time, Song Shiwan knew that he had entered, because all the goalkeeper Feyenoord could only do subconsciously, and there was no time to think about it.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!”
"The ball is in!!!"
"I seem to see Leeds in the semi-finals of the European Champions League last year again, Leeds 2:0 Feyenoord!!!"
