Chapter 145 Draw the leader

Winning the Blackburn team finally gave the Rangers team a sigh of relief.But they were only temporarily relieved.Because in the future, they will face greater challenges.

The opponent in the No.19 round of League One is very strong, and it is Sheffield United, which is currently ranked first.

On the day of the game, Yang Daye found that the Sheffield United team was really strong.At least in terms of overall strength, it is nearly a level stronger than the Rangers.The Rangers and Yang Daye himself have only five blue-level players.But Sheffield United actually had three more than them, reaching eight.

One more player with a higher level of strength can already bring a great advantage to the team.Now that there are three more, the advantage is even more obvious.This is equivalent to three more advantageous positions in the game.If used well, it will often become a bargaining chip to win the game.

It's a pity that such an advantage does not belong to the Rangers.When it comes to the game, it can easily be transformed into a specific situational gap.

The Rangers, who played away, fell short not long after the start of the game.In almost all matchup positions, the Rangers have no advantage.The only thing that can be regarded as an advantage is Yang Daye.It's just that the Sheffield United team seems to understand this, and they have made targeted arrangements for Yang Daye.Fortunately, when Yang Daye arrived in this match, his body had fully recovered, so he was not restricted to death.

There is no doubt that the Rangers are at a big disadvantage in this game.Fortunately, the victory in the last game gave them a lot of confidence.And with Yang Daye around, they felt that no matter how strong their opponent was, they still had a chance.

Unknowingly, since Yang Daye joined the Rangers for nearly a year, he has used his performance to make the team rely on him to a certain extent.As long as they see Yang Daye on the field, they have the confidence to kill any opponent.

Bristol City got it all done, Liverpool almost got it too.Facing so many powerful opponents, Yang Daye was able to bring them hope with goals.What about the first name in League One?They also did not lose confidence.

With the mentality of not being afraid of any League One opponent, the Rangers did not lose morale easily when the team was at a disadvantage.With morale and hope, it is natural to play one by one very positively.

Under the tenacious fighting of the Rangers, Sheffield United had all kinds of favorable conditions, but failed to turn their advantages into goals.With Yang Daye also actively participating in the defense, even though the Rangers fell behind half of the shooting data throughout the first half, they did not allow their opponents to score.

The first half ended with 0:0.

This is an acceptable result for the Rangers.After all, what Mike Markey meant was to take away a point from Sheffield United at home, and that was victory.

The Sheffield United team is obviously very dissatisfied with this result.Therefore, at the beginning of the second half, they made substitutions and stepped up their attack.

Mike Markey is also prepared for this.He made the Rangers play on the counter-attack to deal with it.

Under Sheffield United's full attack, the Rangers fought tenaciously, but they still put the goal in danger several times.If it weren't for Yang Daye's resolute attack in the counterattack, and successfully hit the ball into the penalty area to pose a threat.Rangers could have been overwhelmed in the first 10 minutes of the second half.

Knowing that if one's own side can't kick an effective counterattack, it is very likely that they will be pressed in the backcourt and besieged until they collapse.Therefore, apart from the necessary defensive assistance, Yang Daye is always ready to launch a quick counterattack.

Yang Daye is the only player on the Rangers side who has an advantage in the matchup.Under Yang Daye's resolute attack whenever he had a chance, it really played a good role in restraining him.This made the Sheffield United team finally dare not make a big push under the advantage.

Tenacious defense, coupled with effective counter-attacks, allowed Sheffield United to keep the ball in excess of 65% without breaking the Rangers goal.For a while, the game continued to consume time under the stalemate of the home team gaining momentum and not scoring.

Seeing that although the opponent has the advantage, they are still unable to score goals, and slowly the Rangers are playing more and more confident.They believe that as long as this continues, even if they can't score a goal, they can definitely drag the game to a draw.

With such confidence, it really took the Rangers through 70 minutes.But after 70 minutes, the players on both sides had physical problems to varying degrees.

The game has reached this point, so it is natural to make substitutions and adjustments.

Mike Markey had to replace a central defender who had bottomed out and a full-back behind Yang Daye.

I thought that if I changed to a new force, I would have more physical fitness to defend.But who knew that it was the central defender who had just been replaced. Because he hadn't entered the game yet, he made a mistake in a cooperation with the blue-level central defender Clegg.The striker of Sheffield United took the opportunity to break into the penalty area from between the two, and then succeeded with a low shot.

0:1.
Rangers fell behind.

This conceded goal came a little suddenly, and even more low-level.This was a blow to everyone in the Rangers team who had fought for more than [-] minutes.

Yang Daye also felt a little frustrated.It's just that he never gave up easily, so he didn't give up the game.He can only find a way to encourage his teammates with Chris Lins, and at the same time try to carry the team's offensive banner, hoping to equalize the score before the end of the game.

However, affected by the loss of the ball, the morale of the Rangers team has dropped a lot.And under the fierce attack of Sheffield United's high morale after the goal, it was always difficult to cheer up.

The situation on the field for Rangers is becoming more and more dangerous.Not only did they fail to organize an effective offense to score goals, but they made Sheffield United almost score the goal in several subsequent offenses.This made Yang Daye have to retreat to the penalty area to participate in defense.

Under the onslaught of Sheffield United, the Rangers' goal seemed to be in jeopardy.The last dangerous time was in the No. 801 minute of the game, when the defense leaked, allowing Sheffield United's full-back Wilson to get the ball twelve yards from the penalty area.If Yang Daye hadn't gone all out to block the opponent's shot with his body, it might have been 2:0.

Yang Daye was hit by a heavy cannon and was almost out of breath. He lay on the ground for a long time before getting up.

It hurt like a punch to him.Still, his unrelenting behavior inspired his teammates.This cheered up the teammates a little bit.He also became brave in the defensive fight.

And these just kept the Rangers from conceding the ball easily.Not much has changed for the likely losing situation.As time goes by, there is less and less time left for them.

After 85 minutes of the game, the Rangers, who were still at a disadvantage, became even more disadvantaged.Seeing that there is no hope of an equalizer at all.Even Mike Markey, the head coach, accepted his impending failure.He began to think about how to explain the loss to the fans and the executives.

Just when everyone thought there was no suspense in the game, Yang Daye, who hadn't given up, finally waited for a counterattack.He and Chris Collins completed a defense on the front edge of the penalty area.

After successfully stealing the ball, Yang Daye took the ball and walked desperately to the side, and rushed forward from near the sideline.Leng he couldn't go all the way to the end. As soon as he crossed the center line, the opponent's defensive player scooped the ball out of bounds.

The sideline kick, in everyone's eyes, means that the Rangers missed the opportunity to attack.Because the staff of Sheffield United have regained their defensive positions.In head-to-head games, Rangers have little hope of scoring goals.

It was this thought that made Sheffield United slacken a bit when defending Rangers throw-ins.They didn't stare at Yang Daye and let him get the ball easily.

It's not a big mistake to let Yang Daye get the ball easily.And their biggest mistake was that after Yang Daye completed his turn, they didn't step up to press in time.This gave Yang Daye enough space to start dribbling.

Yang Daye seized this opportunity and quickly walked towards the middle.After encountering a defender who came up in a hurry and wanted to steal, Yang Daye made a "Chinese Fried Meatball" and passed by in a flash.

After being passed by Yang Daye, the other defenders of the Sheffield United team did not immediately become vigilant.When Yang Daye rushed to the front of the penalty area, less than 40 meters away from the goal, he woke up and prepared to intercept.

With a distance of more than 30 meters, this has entered Yang Daye's effective range.Just when the two central defenders of the Sheffield United team were about to rush forward to close the door with double ghosts, Yang Daye directly kicked the football.

"Bang!" In the muffled sound, the football left Yang Daye's feet like an arrow off the string.After passing through the gap between the two central defenders, he flew straight to the goal.

Sheffield United's goalkeeper, after most of the game, the business in front of the goal is deserted.The goalkeeper's hands and feet were already a little cold in the cold wind.Although the goalkeeper reacted to Yang Daye's sudden long-range shot, the saving action he made was not fully stretched.The goalkeeper's hand was only ten centimeters away from touching the ball.And it was only ten centimeters away that sentenced him to death.

"GOAL!!!!"

"Yang!!!!"

This goal came a little suddenly, a little unexpected.The people on the Rangers team were quiet for several seconds before cheering.

The Rangers equalized.

Being equalized just two or three minutes from the end of the game, it was tantamount to Sheffield United's duck that was on the verge of dying suddenly coming to life.

The Sheffield team naturally cannot accept such a situation.After the re-kick-off, he frantically attacked the Rangers again.

However, the morale of the Rangers team, which equalized the score, was boosted, and there was not much time left.In the end, Sheffield United did not score again.

1:1. This became the final outcome of the game.
