Chapter 636
"Guys? Are we behind by a big score now?" The immediate equalization of the goal was still quite a blow to these young players from Leeds United.
Of course, the biggest reason for this is because this game is the Champions League. If it were placed in the league, players like Leeds United would definitely not perform so badly.
"After the first half, I think you should know the strength of the opponent better than this bystander." After everyone looked at him, Li Yi continued.
Immediately, the players also realized that after the first half, they did have a clear understanding of the opponent's strength.
"Don't you think you are inferior to them?" Li Yi asked.
"No" as the captain, Beckham immediately stood up and said.
"That's it? The score is not behind, and the opponent's strength is not necessarily stronger than ours. Why do you still look like you have lost the game?" Following Li Yi's words, the performance of the Leeds United players began to change slowly.
"As I said, the necessary tension can make you better, but tension will prevent you from displaying your true strength," Li Yi finally emphasized.
In fact, the importance of this game to Leeds United is self-evident. Leeds United will not do nothing to prepare, but it did not start in the first half.
The intermission passed quickly, and Leeds United did not make any adjustments, and the same was true for Marseille. After all, Marseille took the initiative at the end of the first half.
However, after the start of the second half, the situation was completely different. Leeds United, who had the right to kick off in the second half, launched an attack immediately. Rakitic rushed into the Marseille half with the ball and then split Lennon again.
Lennon hit Marseille's defense again with the ball, but this time Lennon did not choose to cut inside. He made a low pass and sent the ball to the goalkeeper. Owen followed up in the middle.
"It's high" Irving, who followed up in the middle, lifted his foot and shot, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Turning from defense to offense, Mandanda sent the ball to Kana's feet. As the hero of the goal in the first half, Kana seemed to have become confident, and actually dribbled the ball across the half.
Fortunately, Cana was not overconfident. When facing Matic, Cana sent the ball to Ben Alpha's feet, but Leeds United seemed to be prepared. After Cana passed the ball, Baines rushed up quickly, and then shoveled to the end, grabbing the ball before Ben Alpha.
Baines tackled the ball and landed directly at the feet of Bell who retreated, and when Bell took control of the ball, he immediately turned and rushed towards Marseille's half.
"OhQuickQuickQuickGareth BaleThe speed of the people in Wales is unimaginably fast." Bale's speed can be called No. 1 in Leeds United, and Lennon's lack of control is different.
Talent is like this sometimes, or God is so unfair.
"Can't stop Marseille can't stop Gareth Bale at all." Facing such Bell, Marseille has only one way to really stop him.
"Oh noFoulMarseille fouledInside the penalty areaZubal His foul is still a little slower, just slower
A little bit" Zubal still has Hilton behind him, so as long as he fouls outside the penalty area, it will be a yellow card and a free kick at most.
But now, the referee pointed directly at the penalty spot, and at the same time did not forget to give Zubal a yellow card, because Bell was faster. When Zubal fouled, Bell had already entered the Marseille penalty area.
Boos, boos all over the sky, obviously, some Marseille fans can't accept the changes in the situation on the field. You know, Marseille had a posture of reversing the score before, but now they are awarded a penalty.
Bale came up, and as Bale stood on the penalty spot, the boos in the stands became louder, and the Marseille fans tried to use this method to put pressure on Bale.
Pressure, in fact, there is a lot of pressure on Bale without the pressure from the Marseille fans, because this penalty Li Yi named him to take the penalty.
Since leaving Li Yi's office that time, Bell trained harder and took more initiative on the court, but in his heart, he kept asking himself, do he really have enough strength to become the core of the team?Are you really ready to carry the burden of a team?
Bell knows why the head coach named him to take the penalty himself. As a core player, you must have a strong enough ability to resist pressure, and you must always maintain enough self-confidence, because the team needs you to stand up at critical moments.
One step, two steps, three steps, under the referee's whistle, Bell began to step by step, and every step of the run-up, Bell kept asking himself?
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLThe ball has been scoredLeeds United have taken the lead againGareth Bell" When the cheers on the scene and the boos in the stands broke out again, Bell looked at the ball that was already lying in the Marseille goal.
He scored goals, he did not disappoint the fans, nor did he disappoint the team-mates, let alone the manager.
On the sidelines, Li Yi was also celebrating Bell's goal. Li Yi is not a god, he can't really understand Bell's inner thoughts, but he knows that Bell needs this kind of pressure.
Leeds United's celebration ended quickly and the game restarted. Marseille immediately launched a counterattack, but Marseille's counterattack was strongly blocked by Leeds United.
Leeds United needs a victory to build their confidence. The Champions League is a brand new arena, which is the dream of all players. Most of the players in the Leeds United team are participating for the first time. They need a victory more than any other team.
In terms of the personal abilities of the players on both sides, Marseille is definitely not as good as Leeds United, so soon, Marseille's counterattack was suppressed by Leeds United.
No. 603 minutes, Leeds United almost expanded their lead. Bell once again broke into the Marseille penalty area with the ball from the side.
No.70 minutes, Beckham made a long pass to Owen, who headed back to Rakitic, who was higher in the middle, and the latter sent the ball into the penalty area with a diagonal pass. Lennon threw off the defender and inserted at high speed.
Unfortunately, the final shot was destroyed by Mandanda. The Marseille goalkeeper made a world-class save to keep the goal and Marseille's hope.
But in fact, the goalkeeper's excellence can only guarantee not to lose at most, not to mention that Marseille is still behind Leeds United at this moment, so the advantage is still on Leeds United's side.
In this regard, the Marseille side is also very clear, substitutions, substitutions again, at 65 minutes, Marseilles used up the first substitution quota, and at this moment, Marseilles changed two more.
