964 The Importance of Winning at Home
Pa!
With a crisp sound, Mandanda suddenly jumped up as if she had lost her gravity and soared into the air.
At this moment, Mandanda only had one conviction:
“I believe I am me,
I believe tomorrow
I believe that I can reach out and touch the sky! ”
Yes, Mandanda. He believes he can hit the sky with a shooter.
Then, Mandanda gave the football a single palm and pushed it out of the baseline!
Countless people at the scene let out shocking sighs. This is too fake. Mandanda, this guy is hanging up, isn’t he? Even this ball can be pounced on?
After landing on the ground, Mandanda jumped up and waved her fist excitedly, shouting, “Ah!”
The Marseille players ran over and surrounded Mandanda, hugging him tightly. This was no less than a goal.
At this moment, Mandanda was the hero of the Marseille team.
“Beautiful!” On the sidelines, Eric Gerets jumped up high and roared excitedly.
Mandanda was awesome. Eric Gerets, a knowledgeable man, was so excited that he jumped up. This was truly unbelievable.
“Wow! Now we should know what kind of goalkeeper Mandela is. She is such a neurotic goalkeeper. She always has such a miraculous and unbelievable performance.” Mark Lawrenson exclaimed.
The scene was full of applause from Marseille fans for Mandela.
Zhong Cheng couldn’t help but applaud for Mandanda. This ball was indeed a good save. It was very exciting.
Now, the Marseille’s aura had risen, and it was extremely red.
Now Eric Gerets is very anxious, anxious about the first half of the game is really not much time. The Marseille team’s morale had risen at a bad time. The first half of the match was almost over.
Yes, Eric Gerets had been complaining about how the time was so slow, and the game was not over yet? Right now, he was complaining about how this time was so fast, how did this match end?
A little more time!
Corner kicks, Leeds United or corner kicks.
Luka Modric curved the football out, but it was hugged tightly by Mandela who rushed out.
At this moment, Mandanda was extremely excited and in a good state. It was as if he had just come online. Previously, he had hosted and hung up the phone.
Mandanda held the football in her arms and quickly ran out in an attempt to throw the ball with great force and launch a quick counterattack.
Just as the football was thrown out, the referee, Clark Ploates, blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
Eric Gerets jumped up from the sidelines. Roaring Business: “Frank, why is our opportunity over?”
Eric Gerets believes his Marseille team will be able to level the score if the referee gives them a little more time. Unfortunately, the referee didn’t impose it on them!
Eric Gerets shook his head uncontrollably, feeling very unhappy in his heart.
Zhong Cheng shook his head indifferently, then turned around and slowly walked towards the dressing room.
After the first half of the game, Leeds United led Marseille 1-0. That wasn’t a big advantage, but it was a road trip. Leeds United fans should still be very satisfied.
After returning to the dressing room, Zhong Cheng praised the Leeds United players for their excellent performance. However, this was not enough. The second half of the match was a tough one.
Zhong Cheng guessed that the Marseille team would definitely beat Leeds United in the second half.
The advantage of a ball was not big, Marseille used the advantage of the home court to attack crazily, and a ball could change the situation. Moreover, this group was very crazy. Every match was very crucial, and no team could afford to lose.
This was especially true for the Marseille team. For the teams that had always wanted to advance, they had to keep their home court. They absolutely could not lose.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng knew very well what the Marseille team would do in the second half.
Zhong Cheng reminded the Leeds United players that they had to defend carefully in the second half, especially to strengthen the control of the midfield, strengthen the oppressiveness of the team’s defense, increase physical contact, and directly kill the Marseille team.
The Leeds United players nodded in understanding.
The Leeds United players also knew that the second half was going to be very difficult and they were going to clench their teeth and hold on.
On the other side, Marseille head coach Eric Gerets was very serious.
In Eric Gerets’s words, the Marseille team was at its most dangerous now, and the Marseilles were going to put down all their baggage and attack crazily, because only by attacking would they be able to save themselves.
Think about this group match, the Marseille team only has three home games. Losing any home game is a disaster for the Marseille team, because none of their opponents, Leeds United, Atletico Madrid and PSV Eindhoven, are easy to play at home.
In other words, it is very difficult for Marseille to obtain a victory away from home, or even not, so to ensure their victory at home will be the key to breaking out of this group.
Eric Gerets stressed seriously, “This game is our Marseille team’s life and death match, the outcome of this game is to watch our Marseille team get out of this group, now we have been pushed to the edge of the cliff, we have no retreat, offense, only offense, you know?”
The Marseille players became serious all of a sudden. They understood the importance of this match.
The Marseille players were ready to fight to the death!
Very quickly, the players from both sides walked out of the players’ passageway and entered the stadium.
The fans on both sides were very excited, shouting crazily, cheering for their team.
Zhong Cheng walked out. He was still wearing a white suit.
Zhong Cheng’s expression was very calm and composed. On the contrary, Eric Gerets’s expression was gloomy and his gaze fierce. From the expressions of these two people, it could be seen that the style of the two teams in the second half of the match, the Marseille people were going crazy.
“Attack, Marseille attack! Kill Leeds United, we want victory!” The Marseille fans shouted enthusiastically and even cheered for their team by singing team songs.
The Marseille team is in the most dangerous moment. Attack!
Du!
Referee Clare Plautz immediately whistled at the start of the second half.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Marseille, the home team wearing a white shirt, launched a crazy attack. Just as the midfield squeezed into the football, a long kick went straight for Nyon, who was inserted forward.
Nyon jumped up high and headed the ball,
As soon as the football landed, Ben Alpha, who was following behind him, shot a kick into the air and shook the tiger. With a bang, the football flew towards Leeds United’s goal.
The ball was really fast, like lightning.
But football is directly above Leeds United’s goal.
“Wow, Ben Alpha’s kick didn’t stop him. The football flew out of the bar. However, it was very dangerous for the Leeds to give the Marseille such a chance so easily!” Eddie Gray was a little worried.
Zhong Cheng was also unable to stabilize himself. He immediately walked out and shouted loudly at the field, “Hey! Focus! The final battle has already begun!”
Zhong Cheng did not give much warning. He trusted his players.
When the Leeds United players heard Zhong Cheng’s words, they all nodded and became serious.
Leeds United did not open the door and did not have a big foot. Instead, they passed the ball to the full-back. Leeds United were not in a hurry to attack, but they were here to reverse the ball and control the pace of the game.
It wasn’t Leeds United who were in a hurry. Leeds United’s pace was not to give Marseille any chance to ease the defensive pressure, but to slowly provoke the Marseilles and provoke them. Drive them crazy.
Because the Marseilles are very anxious now, the more they are like this, the more crazy the Marseilles are.
Now the Marseilles were frantically rushing forward like hungry wolves, pouncing on the football as if they were pouncing on food.
On the sidelines, Eric Gerets kept shouting, directing the Marseille players on the pitch to press Leeds United.
“Wow, in the second half of the game, the two teams started to hang in the middle again. Apparently, Marseille were unwilling to do so. They wanted to pass through the midfield quickly and then directly threaten Leeds United’s goal. However, Leeds United’s defense was too formidable, and they were too difficult to deal with. They directly wrapped Marseille in midfield and dragged Marseille to Zhong Cheng to tremble with them. “Mark Lawrenson immediately said.
“This is where Leeds United’s defense is strong. They will stick to you like a dog skin plaster, making you unable to shake off. At the same time, it is very uncomfortable and very unpleasant to smell. Leeds United’s defense is really too strong. Marseille doesn’t seem to have much choice right now!” Eddie Gray said.
When the Marseille fans saw this, they were extremely anxious. This match could not continue like this. Otherwise, their Marseille team would not have any chance in this match.
Eric Gerets was more anxious on the sidelines than they were.
Eric Gerets roared from the sidelines, “Don’t get too bothered with them. Run through the midfield as soon as possible, speed up the passing and increase the distance!”
Yes, this is the only way Marseille can threaten Leeds United’s goal through midfield.
However, this way, the Marseille players’ physical fitness consumption will be faster. They used more running to pull open space and tear apart Leeds United’s defenses.
At this moment, Marseille midfielder Ben Alpha suddenly threw a straight shot.
‘”Nice! Nice straight ball! That was a great pass, Ben Alpha deserves to be a master …” Then there was no follow-up, because Ben Alpha did pass the ball very well, and it was very unexpected, passing it to the most threatening place.
Unfortunately, Marseille striker Nyon did not grasp Ben Alpha’s intentions and did not run on the same route, so Marseille missed an excellent opportunity.
Seeing that the opportunity had been missed, Nian himself was extremely annoyed. How could he have such a good reputation at that time? He really regretted that he hadn’t run the most dangerous route at that time.
Unfortunately, it was truly too unfortunate.
On the sidelines, Eric Gerets didn’t know what to say anymore. How could he miss such a good opportunity? How many chances could Marseille have in the second half?
Eric Gerets couldn’t help but turn around and kick the water bottle beside him. The bottle flew out in an instant, and water splashed everywhere …
Zhong Chengshi immediately came to the side of the field and shouted, “Pay attention to Ben Alpha, who is stuck. His body is weak. Stay close to him and stick to him. Do you understand?”
The Leeds United defenders nodded in agreement that they knew what to do.
