Anyway, after a week of rest, Leeds United ushered in a game against Birmingham.

The Birmingham home court, which is rarely filled this season, is full in this game.

Although Birmingham has performed poorly this season, the home attendance rate has rebounded as the end is approaching. Because everyone has to cheer for the team's relegation.

When the team is in the most difficult time, they naturally have to support their team.

Leeds United players had already experienced this when they warmed up before the game. When they showed up, the whole field was booed, overwhelming, and they were attacking them.

It almost suffocated them.

Klopp looked at his players and frowned slightly.

He knew the situation was not good, not because he was worried about the pressure brought by Birmingham fans, but because of the physical strength of Leeds United players.

Although I have been practicing every two days during this period, I have added physical training content to daily training.

However, physical recovery is not a matter of one or two days, it is a very long process.

It always takes time.

"In this game, try to slow down the pace and deal with the opponent."

This is Klopp's solution to the problem of the game in front of him.

If Birmingham is going to be fast, Leeds United should be slow, slow down the pace and try to control the football at your feet. At the same time, when the opponent is attacking, do not get in the frontcourt and retreat quickly and then shrink the defense, so that the physical fitness requirements should be lower.

After talking about the tactical requirements, Klopp began to inspire the morale of the players.

"The opponents' strength in this game is far inferior to us. As long as you perform normally, you can win this game. There is no need to pay attention to the criticism of the media. They are all people who only know how to create gimmicks. I have seen through it for so many years."

As the champion coach, Klopp is well aware of the importance of morale at this time. Although the English Champions League championship does not represent anything, such experience in winning the championship is very valuable for Leeds United.

In his mind, Leeds United's goal is far from just about being promoted to the Premier League.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand.

"Go on the field, boys! Show your performances to those who question you!"

......

When Leeds United players walked out of the player's passage and walked onto the stadium, the booing of the entire stadium was almost suffocating.

Fortunately, the boo only lasted for a very short period of time.

If it continues, it may really cause heart disease.

However, this brief booing has also shown the attitude of Birmingham fans to the Leeds United players - this game is definitely more difficult than the Leeds United players imagine!

When the game started, the game seemed to be really moving in this direction.

Just 11 minutes into the game, Leeds United was sent off - central defender Clark made a mistake in the penalty area. Not only was he sent off with a red card, but the referee also gave Birmingham a penalty!

“This is a really double blow!”

The British commentator couldn't help but sigh.

"The game just started, Leeds United fell behind, and there was one less player in the number.

Originally, Leeds United's physical fitness has begun to have problems now, and they have to persist in playing the game under such circumstances. I think it would be great if I can not lose.

If Leeds United loses or draws this game, that's great news for Blackburn!"

When the head coach Klopp saw this scene, his eyebrows were almost twisted into a rope.

He cursed lowly, damn it! There is nothing worse than this!

What he thought was not just the backward caused by this goal loss, but the tactical changes between the two sides after the backward.

He wanted to use his knees to fight, so he would definitely shrink his defense.

In this way, my pace will be slower, but it will become more difficult to score goals.

If Birmingham's intensive defense cannot be broken, this game will definitely lose!

Moreover, once you lose this game and are overtaken by Blackburn in the standings, the mentality of the players may be problematic, after all, there are too many young players on this team.

Once the team collapses as a whole due to mentality problems, maybe Leeds United may miss the opportunity to upgrade like he took over the team's previous season.

Therefore, Leeds United must not lose in this game. But how can we win?

Klopp's eyes looked at Lu Feng. Can this Chinese boy still bring surprises to himself?

.....

The Birmingham striker, who created the penalty kick, took the penalty himself, kicked the football into the goal of Leeds United and scored his thirteenth goal of the season.

1-0, Birmingham temporarily led Leeds United at home.

In fact, when Clark committed a foul, the Leeds United players did not surround him excitedly and protested to the referee.

They were a little confused and stared blankly at the referee pointing at the penalty spot, watching the players in Birmingham cheer and celebrate.

In a game where I can't lose, they all felt a little incredible - is this true? Is this true? It's really a penalty and a red card?

By the time they realized it, the Birmingham striker had already bent down to place the football on the penalty spot.

Hell!

They clenched their fists unwillingly.

But what if you are unwilling to give up?

This game was not easy to play, but now the score is behind. How to play the next game?

Can we still win the game?

Will we still win the league championship? Could it be that the previous Leeds United tragedy will still happen to us? Damn it!

The players on the court looked at Klopp involuntarily, who was the soul of this team.

......

When the Birmingham striker kicked the football into the goal, he opened his arms and turned to celebrate. He scored a goal for the team at the beginning of the game. He wanted to celebrate it with all his heart, and other Birmingham players rushed towards him.

At this critical moment of relegation, this goal gave them hope of winning. They were naturally very happy at this time.

The Birmingham fans in the stands also jumped up and cheered with the players to score goals.

The other Leeds United players stood there, stunned.

Even goalkeeper Reina's move to get up was much slower than usual.

He was hit as he slowly got up from the ground and was about to go to the football in the net.

"Sorry, Reina, but I'm in a hurry." He heard Lu Feng's voice.

By the time he turned around, the ball in the goal was gone.

He turned his head and saw Lu Feng running towards the middle circle with the football in his arms.

"It seems that some people haven't given up yet."

Bouvaco, who was on the sidelines, straightened his back straight after seeing Lu Feng do this. His voice was full of anticipation.

"But he is the only one..."

Klopp frowned and said, "How big a blow did this penalty and red card have caused to the team."

"One person is worth looking forward to!"

Bouvaco said stubbornly.

"Birmingham has a very tight defense against him. It's been ten minutes since the game. So far, he hasn't even shot. I'm looking forward to him being able to surprise me again, but you know, football is not a matter of one person."

"There is always a way, and not just Lu Feng, isn't there anyone else who hasn't given up?"

Bouvaco smiled and joked, looking at several midfielders.

"Very good, this is my team."

Klopp quickly understood what Bouvaco meant, smiled, and his brows stretched out again.

"Then, I'm looking forward to them surprise me! Tell the players to attack with all their might and even if they lose, they will score a goal in this game!"

......

In order to ensure the defense, Klopp replaced Robert and replaced the substitute centre-back Ramiro.

When Robert was replaced, he seemed helpless.

Of course, he didn't want to be replaced so early, but there was no way. The team had fewer individuals when they came up? In order to ensure the integrity of the defense line, the striker had to sacrifice.

Robert glanced at Lu Feng's back and felt a little unwilling. Damn boy, the head coach trusted him, and it turns out that more than me.

Klopp took the initiative to step forward, shook hands with Robert, and comforted him.

Robert shook his head, his face full of unhappiness.

Back at the bench, he sat down and did not communicate with his teammates next to him. If he was replaced after winning the ball, he would definitely be celebrating one by one.

Now, they are not in the mood to say anything.

He just stared at the stadium, frowned, and looked worried.
