Chapter 241 The Decisive Battle Is In The Second Half
Kisnobo looked at Long Bisheng's back, gritted his teeth with hatred!

Long Bisheng defeated him in the strength confrontation, and then showed him his strength - this is obviously a naked provocation!It's unbearable for a guy who looks so loyal to expose other people's scars on the court like this!

But what can be done?Long Bisheng indeed won him in a real strength confrontation, and also scored the first goal for Leeds United!Be arrogant, it seems that it should be...

No.303 minutes, Long Bisheng No.20 six league goals this season, Leeds United lead [-]-[-] away!

This goal also made Long Bisheng surpass Beckford in the number of goals for the first time this season, tying Leicester City striker Fayette!

But for Long Bisheng and Leeds United, the significance of this goal is far more than that!If this game is finally won by relying on this goal, it means that Leeds United's League One championship this season has basically been won!
But can Leicester City easily allow Leeds United to achieve this goal?The answer is of course no!You must know that these two teams have basically been able to lock the top two-the opponents of the two sides in the last three rounds are not strong, and No.3 Peterborough has been difficult to surpass them after falling behind them by four points-but for Leicester City, they are simply unwilling to give up the top spot in the league that they have occupied for a long time in the final stage of the league!
What's more, now that the game has only passed half an hour, Leicester City still has an hour to tie the score or even overtake!

After the re-kick-off, Leicester City launched a fierce attack. Originally, Leicester City was quite afraid of Leeds United's recent fierce offensive play, but Leeds United also had a deep fear of Leicester's overall strength and home court advantage. Instead, they adopted a defensive counterattack tactic in this game. The goal just now was obtained through a counterattack!
This also made Leicester City a little hairy from top to bottom, didn't you defend and counterattack, then I will use offense to beat you so that you can't even use it to counterattack!
After leading by a goal, Leeds United also began to shrink their defense appropriately to avoid the opponent's limelight, but this was self-defeating. The two forwards in front were not speedy.

In normal counterattacks, Long Bisheng and Beckford took turns to stand in front as a support point for the counterattack. Although Beckford is not good at confrontation, his technique is better. After taking the ball, he can pass one or two people. Helping defend near the penalty area, how could it be possible to respond so quickly!Once the support of teammates is lost, whether it is Long Bisheng or Beckford, after holding the ball for too long, they can only be intercepted by the opposing defender who has the numerical advantage.

"Hold it! Hold it! Strengthen your defense and strengthen your marking in the penalty area!" The joy on McAllister's face has long since disappeared. He kept yelling loudly on the sidelines to ask the players to strengthen their defense-he knew he had made a mistake. It was obviously wrong to retreat so soon after taking the lead, which allowed the opponent to attack through the midfield unscrupulously.

But the current situation is naturally very clear to Dawy. A negligence of Leeds United after taking the lead gave Leicester City such a good opportunity. If they fail to seize this opportunity before the end of the first half, it will be a bit bad for Leeds United to recover in the second half!If you and Leeds United are so strict that you attack and I attack, Doy is really not sure that he can win. You must know that Leeds United's forward offensive ability is better than that of Leicester City!

"Attack! Attack! Pull, pull, suppress! Give me a goal!" Doy also jumped and shouted from the sidelines. At this moment, the two head coaches in suits and leather shoes rolled up their sleeves and hopped around on the sidelines, forming a unique landscape. The TV cameras kept showing them close-ups, and even the fans in the stands were often attracted by them...

The ball that came out of the siege had just rolled down to Delphi's feet, and Delphi was about to turn around and break through with the ball, when the opponent's midfielder came over aggressively with a shovel, Delphi had to turn around and pass the ball to Douglas behind him to stabilize, but the ball was cut off by another Leicester player just in the middle!
"Damn it!" Delphi cursed in his heart. It's not good to be suppressed in the midfield. Too many players are pushed in his own half. No matter how good the technique is, it is difficult to attack individually, and the pass is more likely to be intercepted by the opponent.

Long Bisheng has already returned to the penalty area to help defend. His height and header ability are still quite advantageous in this situation. As long as the general high-altitude ball is within his control range, he will definitely push it out. After the most effective high-altitude ball is controlled, Leeds United can still not concede the ball even after being pressed by the opponent for more than ten minutes.

Long Bisheng won another header, and Mister Xie immediately sent the ball out with all his might. The ball flew far across the half-court, and then went out of the touchline.

"Beckford! Howson! Go up and steal them!" McAllister saw the opportunity and immediately shouted to let the two players closest to the center circle go up to the frontcourt to intercept and try to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm. However, Leicester City's players are all experienced. After the ball flew out of the sideline, the nearest player rushed to the sidelines with almost sprint speed to ask for the ball from the ball boy, and then quickly threw the ball to his teammates. To within half of Leeds United.

"If it's our home court, if the caddy delays the time, we might be able to reorganize..." A funny thought suddenly turned in McAllister's mind, but soon, he became nervous again.

Leicester City's left midfielder Adams sprinted along the wing with the ball, and Howson chased after him, but he still couldn't catch up with his opponent in a short time.

"Dragon, go to the back to defend, and I will defend from the front!" Huntington commanded Long Bisheng. Although Long Bisheng had an excellent ability to defend high-altitude balls, he had no tacit understanding with the defenders on the back line.

Huntington's command this time should also be extremely correct. Although the veteran Howard, the tallest of the two Leicester City forwards, rushed to the front point, Huntington thought he could still keep an eye on him, and there were two or three Leicester City players in the back point, including Kisnobo who rushed forward for revenge!
But no one thought that Adams made a pass when he broke through to the penalty area line, and instead of passing the ball to the back point with a large number of people, he cleverly passed a pick pass and picked the ball to the front point!
Huntington, who was distracted by commanding the entire defense line, was a step slower, and Howard successfully stopped the ball with his chest!
Huntington immediately rushed out and blocked Howard with his body - the Scottish veteran had already put on a shooting posture.

Huntington, who was eager to make up for his mistakes, jumped a little bit. Although Howard is a typical British center forward with excellent headers and rough feet, his skills have gradually improved with experience in the professional league. Seeing Huntington pounced, Howard suddenly slammed the ball in the opposite direction, dodged Huntington's defense, and then shot vigorously before Mister Xie came to make up for it!
The ball flew past Ankerlenger's fingertips and flew straight into the net!
The Leicester fans, who had held back for the entire first half, finally had a chance to vent. The cheers they erupted at that moment could lift the roof of the stadium!

"Damn it!"

McAllister thumped the lawn fiercely, panting angrily—it was already the stoppage time of the first half, and the score was evened by the opponent at this time!

When Leeds United kicked off again, Long Bisheng had just kicked the ball to Beckford when the referee blew the whistle to end the first half!
********************************
"I made a mistake that made us passive after leading."

After entering the locker room, McAllister, who was flushed with anger, did not criticize the players, but made positive self-criticism: "This mistake also caused us to be overtaken by the opponent... Our situation in the opponent's game was not very bad, it was just a draw. In the second half, we must actively launch a counterattack, take three points from the Pacers Stadium, and become the undisputed champion! Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" The Leeds United players, who were already very dissatisfied with the one-to-one draw, waved their fists collectively and roared like a rainbow!

"Okay, then we will return to our best style in the second half!" McAllister also waved his fist and shouted loudly: "Flying on both wings, we will use a steady stream of crosses to create opportunities for our forwards! Leicester City has one [-]-goal shooter, and we have two. This is our strongest point!"

"The decisive battle will be in the second half!" McAllister glanced at the players, his eyes flashing with determination.
