Guys? Are we behind by a big score now? The immediate equalization of the goal was still quite a blow to the young players of Leeds United.
Of course, the biggest reason for this is because this game is the Champions League. If it is placed in the league, Leeds United players will definitely not perform so badly.
After a first half, I think you should know the strength of your opponent better than this bystander. After everyone looked at him, Li Yi continued.
Immediately, the players also reacted. After the first half, they did have a clear understanding of the opponent's strength.
Do you think you are not as good as them? Li Yi asked.
No~~~ Beckham, the captain, immediately stood up and said.
That's it? The score is not behind, and the opponents are not necessarily stronger than us. Why do you still look like you have already lost the game? Following Li Yi's words, the performance of Leeds United players began to change slowly.
I said, necessary tension can make you better, but tension will make you unable to exert your true strength, Li Yi emphasized at the end.
In fact, the importance of this game to Leeds United is self-evident. Leeds United will not do nothing at all, but it did not start in the first half.
The half-time break passed quickly, and Leeds United did not make any adjustments, and Marseille did the same. After all, Marseille took the initiative at the last moment 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 the second half, launched the attack in the first time. Rakitic rushed into Marseille's half with the ball and then divided Lennon again.
Lennon took the ball and attacked the Marseille defense again, but this time Lennon did not choose to cut inside, made a cross from the bottom, and sent the ball to the goalkeeper with a low pass.
High~~~ Owen, who followed up in the middle, raised his foot and shot, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Turning from defense to attack, Mandanda sent the ball to Cana's feet. As the hero of the goal in the first half, Cana seemed to become confident and actually dribbled the ball across the half.
Fortunately, Cana didn't overconfidence. When facing Matic, Cana sent the ball to Ben Alfa's feet, but Leeds United seemed to be ready. After Cana passed the ball, Bynes accelerated. Come up, and then shovel at the end, grabbing the ball before Ben Alpha.
The ball that Baines shoveled fell directly at the feet of Bell, who was retreating, and when Bell took control of the ball, he immediately turned and rushed to Marseille's half.
Oh oh~~~ fast~~~ fast~~~ fast~~~ Gareth Bell~~~ The speed of Welsh people is unimaginable Bell's speed can be regarded as the first person in Leeds United, and Lennon rushes a little The lack of control is different. Bell can still firmly control the ball under your feet when he is fully accelerating the sprint.
Innate talent is sometimes like this, or God is so unfair.
I can't stop~~~ Marseille can't stop Gareth Bell at all Facing such Bell, Marseille has only one way to truly stop him.
Oh no~~ Foul~~~ Marseille has fouled~~~ Inside the penalty area~~~ Zubal~~~ His foul is still a little slow, just slow that.
What a little bit There was Hilton behind Zubal,
So as long as the foul is committed outside the penalty area, it will be a yellow card and a free kick at most.
But now, the referee pointed directly to the penalty spot, and at the same time did not forget to give Zubal a yellow card, because Bell was faster, and when Zubal fouled, Bell had entered the Marseille penalty area.
Boos, boos all over the sky, it is obvious that some Marseille fans can't accept the changes in the situation on the field. You must know that Marseille was in a posture of reversing the score before, and now he has been awarded a penalty kick.
Bell came up, and as Bell 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 Bell.
Pressure, in fact, without the Marseille fans putting pressure on Bell, there is a lot of pressure, because Li Yi named him a penalty for this penalty.
Since he came out of Li Yi's office that time, Bell has trained harder and taken more initiative on the court, but in his heart, he kept asking himself, is he really strong enough to be the core of the team? Are you really ready to carry the burden of a team?
Bell knows why the coach called him to take the penalty himself. As a core, you must be able to withstand pressure enough, 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 whistle of the referee, Bell began to step by step, and for each step of the approach, Bell kept asking himself?
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL~~~ Goal scored~~~ Leeds United took the lead again~~~ Gareth Bell When the cheers at 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, he did not disappoint the fans, nor his teammates, nor the manager.
On the sidelines, Li Yi was also celebrating Bell's goal. Li Yi was not a god. He couldn't really understand Bell's inner thoughts, but he knew that Bell needed this kind of pressure.
