Chapter 228 Do you still want to win?(1/2)

"This score is enough to kill the game. The next forty-five minutes is just a process that must be carried out for Bristol City, and it will be a painful torture for Leeds United!"

The British narrator continued.

"Even if this game is destined to lose, I hope that the Leeds United boys will not give up the game in the second half. Even if they can score one or two goals, it is good. At home, if they are defeated by the weak Bristol City, a big score, it will be a disaster for Leeds United to compete for the championship."

During the intermission, reporters in the media seats were analyzing the first half, and almost everyone's reaction was "unbelievable".

Because judging from the previous state and strength shown by Leeds United, their condition is very outstanding. Not only did they make great progress in the league, they also advanced smoothly in the FA Cup.

Before this game, everyone thought that even if Bristol City could pose a certain threat to Leeds United because of its good condition, Leeds United could still win the game.

But who would have thought that Leeds United had collapsed in just one first half.

In the end, everyone can only think that this may be attributed to Leeds United being overly optimistic after winning consecutive league victories, and Blackburn next door lost points, causing the players to relax from their hearts.

"The previous consecutive wins of Leeds United have caused problems in their mentality. In the final analysis, this Leeds United has not upgraded for a long time and has no experience in winning the championship.

In order to win the Championship and even go further in the Premier League, they actually have a lot of work to do and a long way to go.”

At the same time, in China, many people are also discussing the first half.

"The problem with Leeds United is quite obvious, that is, their defense line is not worthy of the offensive line's strength.

This Leeds United's offensive line can be said to be at the level of the Premier League powerhouse, but their defense line is a bit polite to them, saying that it is the middle of the Championship. Don't forget that Leeds United has lost so many goals this season."

"Yes, Leeds United's strong offensive ability before has covered up the team's problems. But, in fact, almost every game Leeds United wins, Leeds United concedes the goal.

In fact, if Land Feng and Silva had not joined the team to significantly improve Leeds United's offensive ability, Leeds United would probably not have performed like this this season."

"Lu Feng is indeed very strong, but there is no room for performance in this game. I don't know if Lu Feng can perform well in the second half."

"It must be, that's Lu Feng. Who doesn't know Lu Feng's strength?"

"But football is not a game for one person after all. If teammates don't provide support to Lu Feng, no matter how strong Lu Feng is, it will be useless."

“…”

......

Just across the ocean, fans were having a heated discussion, Leeds United's locker room was silent.

Almost every Leeds United player who entered the locker room lowered his head and remained silent without saying a word.

This is probably the worst first half they have ever experienced. Even if the defender made a mistake and was sent off, Leeds United was not kicked so miserably.

They only had two shots in the first half, but they didn't hit the goal frame yet.

Team head coach Klopp was the last one to come in. After he came in, he closed the door to the locker room.

The players from the last game all appeared in the locker room. The remaining substitutes were warmed up on the court under the guidance of the assistant coach.

Klopp looked at them silent for a minute, and he didn't say a word, and in the locker room he could only hear everyone's ups and downs.

While Klopp didn't say anything, he also looked at every player.

Almost all players were looking down. But when he saw Lu Feng, he saw Lu Feng was also looking at him.

A pair of eyes reflected the lights in the locker room, bright.

He was the only player who dared to look at him even though he lost like this. Klopp felt his heart moved and suddenly asked him: "Lu Feng, do you have anything to say?"

"Ah?" Lu Feng seemed very surprised. He didn't expect the head coach to ask him suddenly.

"Come on, stand up." Klopp made up his mind to listen to Zhou Yi's words. He raised his hand and said, "Tell me what you think of this first half. What do you think? How do you feel?"

The players next to them secretly swallowed, then buried their heads a little lowered.

The other players were even more silent, and they all felt that the head coach level was unhappy, so they treated Lu Feng as a punching bag and wanted to kill the chicken for them to show them.

The smartest way to do this is to lower your head and be honest.

But unexpectedly, Silva felt that Zhou Yi around him actually stood up!

Is he crazy?

Could it be that Zhou Yi couldn't hear the anger in the head coach's tone?

He really wanted to raise his hand to pull Lu Feng's clothes and let him sit down, but he was afraid that his move would be seen by the head coach and would become his target for diverting his firepower.

Just when Silva was extremely anxious, he heard Lu Feng say, "Well, I actually have no opinion. Just play well in the second half!"

"Don't have any opinions?" Klopp was surprised and asked back.

Not to mention others, the teammates in the locker room looked up at him with surprise.

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Feng nodded and repeated: "Yes, I don't have any special opinions. In my opinion, we were just not lucky enough in this game, and we were not without hope in the second half of the game."

"Speak lightly." Someone muttered softly.

Klopp looked in the direction of the sound and saw only his lowered head.

Klopp cleared his throat and looked at Lu Feng.

"Okay, since you said you'd just have a good kick, then do you have any good suggestions?"

Now, Lu Feng was stopped.

Although he is not afraid of heaven or earth, he still has hope for victory, but it does not mean that he has a way.

Lu Feng scratched his head and said softly. "Just play well on the court, you can't give up hope."

"Well said!" Unexpectedly, Klopp applauded.

"Don't give up hope, what a simple word, but I see that you have given up hope and we have decided to lose this game."

Klopp looked around the players and said slowly.

"I have coached a team before, and that team once created the most exciting game in Champions League history. They were also, three goals behind in the first half, but they finally won the Champions League trophy."

"What the head coach said is the miracle of Istanbul." A player asked.

Everyone knows Klopp's coaching experience very well. Everyone knows the miracle of Istanbul of the Reds Liverpool.

"That's right, it's Liverpool." Klopp nodded.

"But, they didn't have one person sent off with a red card in the first half," another player said.

"Yes, yes, we are worse than that Liverpool team, and we have one less person." The player who originally thought he was going to be unlucky heard what Klopp said.

"But this is at our home court, the fans are the twelfth player of the team, and our opponent is not the strong AC Milan, but the strength is far inferior to ours.

Bristol City is far less powerful than us, and even if we are one less person, we shouldn't be playing so miserable.

Didn’t we ever competed one less player in the previous game, but we still won. Why is this game not possible?”

After Klopp said that, everyone looked at Clark. What Klopp said was Clark's red card.

Seeing the players' appearance, Klopp continued to talk.

"I don't mean to blame one of you players, but your performance in this game really disappointed me.

Facing the weak Bristol City, your performance is not like a team that wants to win the championship.

In the previous game, you could win one by one, but you could win in a reverse way. Why did you all admit defeat in this game?”

That's because we were only one goal behind in that game, and three goals behind in this game.

Some players muttered in their hearts.

Klopp seemed to see through the players' thoughts. "Three goals behind doesn't mean anything. You have a complete second half. So, I want to ask you now, do you want to win this game?"

"Think!" Lu Feng was the first to stand up.

The others quickly turned their heads and looked at him.

After a while, the players also said "I want to!" in a verbal way.

"Very good!" Klopp nodded in satisfaction.

“Since everyone wants to win, let’s talk about the second half now.

I don't know what result we will get in the end. It seems that it's already difficult for us to win this game, but I hope you will still show fighting spirit in the second half. My requirements are very practical, and even if you can score a goal, it will be a good result. At least, we won't be shaved by them at home!"

He began to make some adjustments to the team's tactics.

He asked Lu Feng to be more active and to retreat more, get close to Silva, and connect with others.

Others should also make corresponding adjustments. Especially when Silva is moving forward to organize an offense, the back line should pay attention to maintaining the formation, and then take the initiative. When defending, you should be decisive and resolute and consistent.

Perhaps it was the function of Klopp's hair dryer. When everyone listened to the coach's arrangements, they all raised their heads and were very focused.

No one lowered his head and said nothing.

......

The halftime break ended soon and the game started again.

Although Leeds United's performance was not good in the first half, when the players appeared again, Leeds United fans still gave applause to the team.

"Let's hear the applause of the fans. Men, although there is one missing person on the field, these fans are our best teammates.

Now, let’s play and show them your performance.”

In the player channel, Klopp is saying the last words of motivation.
