Chapter 292 Make waves again
After receiving the pass from Delphi, Howson intends to continue to pass the ball to Delphi who is plugging in. He glanced to the side but did not see Delphi coming up. He was surprised for a moment, and then planned to pass the ball to Long Bisheng in front of him. When he looked up, he saw Long Bisheng looking behind him, and the expression on his face suddenly became full of panic!
Howson's heart moved, and he turned around to look, just in time to see Delphine fall forward violently. When he fell, his face was already full of pain!
The referee's whistle blew, and he was just beside him, so although the crisp sound from Delphi's ankle was slight, he heard it clearly.

The referee knew what this meant, but he also saw that Digard just subconsciously moved a step sideways, and did not step on it intentionally. At that moment, Delphi's foot took a step forward and was about to sprint. One upward force and one downward force were pulled by two forces. Delphi's left foot...

Jimmy, who quickly ran into the field, took a look at Delphi who was lying on the ground rolling, his expression changed immediately, and then he made two moves off the field, one was to ask for a stretcher to go on the field, and the other was to ask McAllister to prepare for a substitution!

McAllister's heart sank, and he turned to Robinson and shouted, "Go warm up!"

Robinson was startled, took off his coat and ran out, while McAllister stared at the field without saying a word.

Soon Delphi was carried off the court. When McAllister went to watch, the beloved general was already sweating profusely from the pain and could not speak.

After an emergency inspection, Jimmy stood up and sighed: "Get ready to call an ambulance, there is no cure here."

"What injury?" McAllister asked in a low voice.

"Probably a torn Achilles tendon." Jimmy also answered in a low voice.

Hearing these words, McAllister immediately knew that the game was over, and Delph might not want to play in the rest of the season.

On the field, Digard only received a yellow card for the foul, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the Leeds players-our main midfielder was injured and replaced, and the foul was only a yellow card!
Especially when they saw that Delphi was sent to the ambulance, they were even more reluctant, but the referee did not change his meaning of the penalty. He did not see that Digard had intentional elements. If it did not cause serious consequences, he would not even reach the bottom line of the yellow card.

The end of the main midfielder left Leeds completely passive in the midfield. The lack of Delphi's breakthrough is of course a big loss, and Robinson, who came on as a substitute, did not have the ability to quickly and accurately distribute the ball to the two wings. When the attack in the center weakened, the power of the attack in the wing was also greatly reduced. Middlesbrough immediately gained the upper hand in the midfield.

Hooper also had to return to the midfield to help defend. Long Bisheng was running hard in the frontcourt, but White still kept a close eye on him, and few balls could reach his feet in the backcourt. Middlesbrough's advantage on the field became more and more obvious.

In the No.70 minute of the game, Middlesbrough, under the onslaught, finally tore apart Leeds' tenacious defense. Downing passed the ball to Alves. The Brazilian swayed past Mistche in the penalty area and then shot.

The defense line that lasted for nearly half an hour was finally broken by the opponent. This was a huge blow to Leeds. Five minutes later, Middlesbrough once again relied on a quick counterattack to break through the Leeds gate. 5 to [-], Leeds is gone.

McAllister shook his head helplessly. At the beginning of the second half, Leeds still had a chance to win, at least they could get a point in the away game, but Delphi's injury completely changed everything. Losing today's game is fine, but in the next game, without Delphi's dispatching in the midfield, how will Leeds' offense play?
After leading by two goals, Middlesbrough slowed down their offensive rhythm. Seeing that Leeds had no strength to fight back, they were unwilling to waste too much energy.

The Leeds players are basically about to give up the game. There are less than 10 to [-] minutes left before the end of the game. It is obviously difficult to chase two goals without Delphi. What's more, the players struggled with their opponents for half an hour just now.

Under such circumstances, Long Bisheng did not give up yet. Relying on his excellent physical fitness, he kept running in the frontcourt trying to intercept the opponent's ball, but his speed was not fast. Although he ran hard, he could not intercept the back and forth passes of the Boro players.

On such a huge stadium, Middlesbrough players in red jerseys were passing the ball back and forth, while a big man in white jersey was running back and forth, being transferred back and forth like a gorilla. The scene was quite funny at first. At first, there were laughter from the stands of the Riverside Stadium, but then the laughter gradually subsided. Everyone couldn't help but be moved by this stubborn big man...

McDonald couldn't bear it, shook his head and said to McAllister: "Replace the dragon... We lost this game."

McAllister nodded sadly, he couldn't bear to see Long Bisheng being played like this again, and was about to turn around and let Suo Wenmi warm up, when McDonald's suddenly shouted: "Gary! Wait first!"

McAllister hurriedly turned his head to look at the field, just in time to see Howson striding forward, stretching out his foot and breaking the ball halfway!
**************************************
White took the ball at his feet and saw Long Bisheng running towards him. Although White had been thinking of defeating Long Bisheng, he couldn't help admiring Long Bisheng when he saw that Long Bisheng was running almost meaninglessly without any discouragement.

Admiration is nothing but admiration, White could not have deliberately let Long Bisheng grab the ball, and immediately passed the ball to Huth with a cross. Long Bisheng ran towards Huth without stopping.

At this time, Howson did not know when he ran up, just stopped in the middle and stretched his foot to break the ball!During this period of time, Huth has lost his inertia by walking back and forth, and he didn't observe the situation around him!
After breaking the ball, Howson immediately dribbled forward and broke through, but Middlesbrough had a lot of players in the backcourt. Soon, Howson was blocked near the corner flag by two defenders.

Howson, who tried his best, finally found a gap, raised his foot and passed the ball to the penalty area.

The ball flew high into the penalty area. Long Bisheng and White, who rushed into the penalty area, were vying for positions. White desperately blocked Long Bisheng behind him. Long Bisheng suddenly retreated, causing White to stagger, and then immediately made a circle, squeezing White behind him!

At this time the ball has arrived, Long Bisheng jumped high, and White also jumped up from behind, but Long Bisheng did not directly shake his head to attack the goal, but tapped the ball, and immediately turned around and volleyed after landing!

White struggled to stretch out his foot but failed to block the ball. As soon as Jones stretched out his hand, he felt a gust of wind passing by his face, and then there was a "swish" from the goal behind him!
"Long Bisheng scored twice! Leeds recovered a point! Can they escape with 10 minutes left?"

After scoring the goal, Long Bisheng did not celebrate, but rushed into the net to hold the ball out, and then ran towards his own half.

After running to the middle circle, Long Bisheng put the ball on the kick-off point, and then turned to face Middlesbrough's half.

"Should there be a replacement?" McAllister suddenly turned around and asked McDonald's.

"It's only a fool," McDonald replied.

**************************************
Long Bisheng’s move gave the Leeds players great confidence. Now they are only one goal behind, which is much easier to chase after all than two goals behind. Long Bisheng’s refusal to give up just now made many players face fever.

In this unfavorable situation, Middlesbrough showed the temperament of a strong team they now have. Although they were suppressed by Leeds at home, they did not appear too flustered, and the defense was extremely tight.

"When Middlesbrough led [-]-[-], everyone thought the game was over! Who knew that in the final stage of the game, the game became tense again!" the commentator of Sky TV said with emotion.

Time passed slowly, and the fourth official played an electronic card for 5 minutes of stoppage time on the sidelines. Because Delphi's injury delayed a lot of time, the stoppage time was relatively increased a lot.

Kilkenny made a pass from the side, but Huth pushed the ball out. The ball landed at Tangning's feet. Tangning, who had been cruising along the side, immediately moved the ball forward and started to counterattack!
The Leeds players returned to defend one after another, but Tangning's speed was extremely fast. After halftime, Howson quickly chased back. His speed was no worse than Tangning's, and he was about to catch up. However, Tangning made a beautiful change of direction and once again evaded his defense.

As soon as he got rid of Howson, Faye rushed over from the side, stretched out his foot to poke the ball away from Tang Ning's feet, and then immediately passed the ball diagonally to Long Bisheng who was pulled to the side.

"Do you have any skills on the side?" White rushed up confidently. He knew that although Long Bisheng had solid basic skills in ball control, he was not good at dribbling the ball.

Long Bisheng dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area, and White came up to meet him. The distance between the two kept getting closer. Suddenly, the stands became quiet.
