Chapter 224 Forge ahead
After the start of the second half, Leeds United launched a fierce attack on Leicester City's goal. Faced with this situation, the experienced Leicester City was naturally prepared. It is one of the best in League One, but it does not show weakness in physical confrontation.

Under the onslaught of Leeds United, Leicester's defense was open to action. The 1.9-meter-six Australian Kisnobo followed closely beside Long Bisheng. The Australian international was also extremely strong. Unlike other defenders, he used other methods to make up for the height gap. When he and Long Bisheng were so tall, the six-centimeter gap was nothing at all. After several confrontations, he still had the upper hand.

"Tarzan the Ape? Doesn't look good. Even though he's taller than me, he's not as strong as me... This kind of confrontation ability is worthy of the name Tarzan? It's nothing more than a good performance in the first few games, and he was blown up by the media a few times."

After several confrontations, Kisnobo looked down on Long Bisheng a little bit, and he basically won the several confrontations in the first half, and Long Bisheng often pulled out of the penalty area in the second half of the first half, which made him feel that Long Bisheng was afraid of himself.

It is precisely because he controlled the highest point of Leeds United, Long Bisheng, that despite the fierce attack of Leeds United during this period, it did not pose too much threat to Leicester's gate.

"This guy is really in good shape."

Long Bisheng was running in the penalty area, observing the movements of his team's players, and thinking, he would not be afraid before he was injured, but after all, the injury has only healed for less than a week, and his hands and feet are still a little weak. At this time, it is really difficult to beat the opponent in physical confrontation.

Since you can't beat your opponent in physical confrontation, then it's better to use another method.

Many people have been deceived by Long Bisheng's size and simple appearance, especially when they met for the first time. In fact, although Long Bisheng is honest, he is not rigid at all on the court. Although physical confrontation is the biggest reliance on his football team, he does not only rely on this.

The injury during this period temporarily reduced his body's ability to resist. After resuming training, he did not dare to do too much confrontation training, especially in confrontation. What he was originally good at was relying on his back to rely on strength to oppress. Now that the wound on his back has healed not long ago, he is also afraid that the wound will burst again.

So in the past few days, what he has practiced the most is moving his feet quickly in the penalty area. Although his speed is not fast, he is better because of his long legs.

Thinking of this, as soon as Long Bisheng looked up, he saw Hao Sen starting to force a breakthrough along the right. He was already familiar with this winger's habit, and knew that he would not wait until he broke through the bottom line before making a cross, so he immediately moved his foot and took a step forward.

Although he had already underestimated Long Bisheng, Kisnobo would not miss the opponent's highest point in the penalty area, and followed up immediately.

Unexpectedly, just after he followed, Long Bisheng had already made an emergency stop, then turned around and walked past him.

Kisnobo didn't expect that although Long Bisheng was taller than him, he was a little more flexible than him. When he turned around, Long Bisheng had already reached the middle of the penalty area, and at this time, Howson's cross had already arrived!
Seeing that Long Bisheng was unguarded in the middle and the ball was about to jump up, Tonchev immediately dropped Beckford and moved to the middle to defend Long Bisheng. Tonchev was four centimeters shorter than Kisnobo, and a full ten centimeters shorter than Long Bisheng—this gap was quite large, not to mention that he rushed over in a hurry?
He only had time to stick to Long Bisheng from behind, ready to interfere with him, just as he stuck on Long Bisheng, Long Bisheng felt a strong attack on his back, and the wound on his back felt a little dull pain.

Long Bisheng knew that he might not be able to successfully head the goal under the opponent's interference. Without being able to see behind him, Long Bisheng keenly sensed the possible flaws in the opponent's defense, and immediately swung the header back, throwing the ball to the back point!
He made the right bet—or it should be said that his judgment was correct—Kisnobo had already been thrown away by himself, and the one defending behind him was most likely another central defender because he was the closest to him; and the other central defender was defending Beckford. Now that he has come over, does it mean that Beckford is no longer defended?

However, his judgment cannot be said to be completely correct, only half of the judgment is correct-there is indeed a Leeds player who is unguarded at the back point, but it is not Beckford, but Delph who penetrates from the rib of the penalty area!
Beckford, as the top scorer of Leeds United, even if Tonchev left him to defend Long Bisheng, someone would come up to fill his position immediately, but Delph, who came in from the back row, was firmly ignored by the Leicester defenders!

As soon as Delph inserted near the small penalty area line, he saw Long Bisheng swung the header backwards, and the ball flew over and landed right in front of him. Delph almost subconsciously raised his left foot while running, and directly kicked the ball—this kick was so cool!

Such a cool kick will naturally lead to goals. Faced with this close-range shot, Leicester's goalkeeper only had time to raise his hand, and the ball quickly hit the net behind him!

The Elland Road Stadium, which was still quiet just now, was immediately overwhelmed by the cheers of more than 3 people at the same time. The Leeds fans who had been silent for a long time finally had reason to cheer-the performance of Leeds United just now had made them vaguely see the shadow of the invincible young guards. At the moment of this goal, their dissatisfaction with Leeds United has all disappeared!

Loyal fans sometimes ask for so much...

"Fabian-Delf!" The live commentator at Elland Road roared hoarsely: "The midfielder's sixth goal this season! He is our biggest discovery this season! He may be the next Lennon, the next Milner!"

Milner and Lennon are two young talents trained by the Leeds United youth team who once broke the record of the youngest players in the Premier League. Compared with them, Delph, who has only played steadily in League One this season, still has some gaps. However, his outstanding performance this season has reminded Leeds United fans of that glorious moment.

************************************
McAllister heaved a sigh of relief. Although Leeds United's offense was aggressive just now, it will not last long. If there is no equalizer, when this momentum is released, I am afraid that it will fall into a bad situation in the first half.

Well now, with this equalizer, it means that Leeds United are starting to bottom out!
After scoring the equalizer, Leeds United became more imposing and began to scramble in the frontcourt without hesitation. Leeds United is now a veritable youth army. The frontcourt players are quite young and have excellent physical fitness. There is a momentum to support it. Even Leicester seems to have some difficulties in organizing passes.

In addition to Long Bisheng running around in the frontcourt to help defend as always, even Beckford, who has always seemed a bit "lazy" on the field, began to fight actively in the frontcourt. Leicester's Championship-level midfielder was so embarrassed by the young midfielders of Leeds United that he couldn't even hold the ball.

Under such circumstances, the backcourt became dominated by Wintington. He has excellent height, good jumping ability, strong frontal interception ability, and accurate judgment of the placement. This kind of long pass is almost completely under his control. Whenever he pushes the ball down, the second landing point is also firmly controlled by the Leeds United players, and then immediately pass the ball to the frontcourt to attack again.

No.703 minutes, McAllister replaced midfielder Robinson. This 29-year-old midfielder came on a free transfer before the start of the season. Originally, McAllister planned to let him take on the heavy responsibility of organizing the attack in the middle. However, Delph's unexpectedly outstanding performance firmly occupied the position of the main attacking midfielder, and Robinson could only get the chance to play in a few times.

At this time, McAllister replaced the left midfielder Kilkenny with him, and moved Delph to the left, just to give full play to his ability to distribute the ball in the middle, so as to make the attack of the two wings more violent!
This substitution allowed Leeds United to completely take advantage of the field. The Leicester players were almost stunned by Leeds United's fierce attack and could only struggle in the half-court.

The singing of "Go Forward" has gathered into a torrent in the Elland Road Stadium, and all the Leeds fans stood up, beat the time neatly, and kept singing.

The fans of Leeds United are already familiar with singing this team song, especially when they sing "Every day we say, we love you--", several fans with loud voices from all corners of the audience sang together, and then the audience followed up at the same time: "Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!"

"We're everywhere, we love you—"

"Liz! Liz! Liz!"

"We shout out, we love you—"

"Liz! Liz! Liz!"

"We walk together forever, until the world-stop-stop-turn-moves!"

The singing of more than 3 people made the entire Elland Road Stadium seem to start to tremble, and Leeds United's opponent, the leader of the League One, Leicester City, also began to tremble under the crazy attack of Leeds United.
