Chapter 105 Too Violent, Too Fierce!
Chapter 105 Too violent and cruel!
After Captain Leeds scored a goal, everyone had already guessed the result of this game. Fulham is not a powerful man like Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, etc. They are just professional relegation players. They conceded the goal at the beginning of the away game, and there is no suspense in the outcome of this game.
However, everyone guessed the result, but no one guessed the process!
After Jonny Hausen scored a lightning goal, Leeds United played more casually, and opportunities came one by one. Tevez got three shots in the first half, Bentley also shot two anti-aircraft guns, and Zach Thompson also completed three long shots, but unfortunately the score on the field was still motionless, and the score of 1:0 seemed to be locked. Leeds United's goal to secure the victory was never arrived. Instead, Fulham got three chances to counterattack. Their Belgian striker Moussa Dembele threatened Leeds United's goal twice.
When the half-time ended at the end of the first half, Simon Grayson walked into the player channel with a serious expression. He had discovered a very bad sign... Fulham's morale seemed to have recovered!
The fact is indeed this. Fulham was a little afraid of the "Youth Guards" who competed in the Super League as a newly promoted player this season. After the game started, Jonny Hausen caught their mistake and scored the goal. All signs indicate that they were facing a very combat-ready team.
But the more I played in this game, the more dull the home team's performance became. The fierce momentum seemed to be dispersed at the beginning. They were indeed under a lot of pressure when defending, but they still kept the goal from losing the ball. It seems that... Leeds United is just like this!
After having such an idea, why is Fulham still timid?
Especially when Fulham players implemented the head coach's defensive counterattack tactics on the court, they found that they seemed not far from scoring the goal. If they were lucky, they might have tied the score now. From this point of view, it seems that it is not impossible to get points from Elland Road Stadium away!
The Fulham players went back to the locker room with a relaxed expression. However, the Leeds United players all seemed a little serious. After returning to the locker room, they also looked at their head coach nervously. They also realized a problem. They seemed to play too casually in the first half, and... Although the new tactic of 4-2-3-1 can create many opportunities in the actual application process, the threat seems to be much smaller. Now it depends on what method the head coach will use to change this situation.
Originally, Simon Grayson wanted to scold him, but when he saw his players staring at him nervously. The expectant eyes seemed to be waiting for him to lead them out of the fog, he couldn't bear to scold him, for fear that the counterproductiveness would make the players lose confidence in the team's new tactics.
"Hahaha, you guys seem to be very nervous?"
Simon Grayson laughed and continued before the players answered: "Young guys, you performed quite well in the first half. Aren't we still leading the ball now? And although you missed some opportunities, the facts prove that our new tactics are still very powerful! We make some adjustments in the second half. Scoring another goal will win the game, no problem!"
After hearing what Simon Grayson said, the Leeds United players were relieved and their somewhat shaken confidence became firmer again. The head coach was right, they still performed very well in the first half!
But the head coach changed his mind next, which scared the players one by one!
"Here, I'm going to criticize someone... Shaq!"
ah!?
Everyone in the room looked at Simon Grayson in surprise. Then they looked at Zach Thompson again, and they all had an inexplicable feeling. Everyone knew that "Shack" was the number one favorite under the head coach, and his position in the head coach's heart was even above the captain Jonny Hausen. Now "Shack" has been criticized. Could it be that he really did not perform well in the first half?
It seems...it's OK!
After being criticized, Zach Thompson felt inconscience. To be honest, although he did not score a goal in the first half, he still performed very actively, responding to teammates' passing, heading, pressing in the frontcourt, chasing and interception, etc., every job was done well, so why did he get criticized?
In fact, Simon Grayson was quite satisfied with Zach Thompson's performance in the first half, but now he deliberately said with a stern face: "Shake, do you remember what I told you in the first place? What is your most important task in this position?"
Well!
Zach Thompson immediately understood what the head coach meant. The head coach said that when he played as a front midfielder, the task was not just as simple as the front midfielder last season. His most important task was... to score goals!
Sure enough, Simon Grayson waved his fist: "Did you forget? Did you forget how I told you? I said that your most important task is to score goals! Scoring goals! Only goals can bring us victory! Do you understand?"
"Yes, boss, I understand!"
Zach Thompson nodded without saying a word. His team had a completely advantage in the first half. He did play too well and forgot his mission.
"Well! Shaq, change your mind. I believe you will be able to be competent for this position. You have this strength! Also, Shaq, you must use your brain when playing on the court. You cannot just play based on your feelings, then you can only become an excellent player and not the best one! Just like in the first half, we all had an absolute advantage. You don't want to score a goal quickly to secure the victory for the team, and you are still slowly looking for opportunities to pass the ball. Our defense line is very stable and can completely block the opponent's attack. Even if our defenders cannot completely block the opponent's attack, you don't need to go back to defense every time. You must remember that you are playing front midfielder now, not back midfielder. You have to feel the rhythm of the game. Then decide what you should do! Remember?"
"Yes, boss!"
Zach Thompson agreed loudly, not feeling embarrassed at all. He still respected Simon Grayson, the mentor, and he was only one year older than Pivkovsky, so being said by the head coach was nothing.
And other players would not think that Simon Grayson is criticizing Zach Thompson. What the hell is this criticism, this is just a small matter!
Seeing Zach Thompson being taught humbly, Simon Grayson was very satisfied and nodded and said, "But your performance in the first half was still good and performed well in organizing offense. But this is not your task in today's game. Scoring goals is your task. Let me score a goal in the second half! Okay, everyone rest. We will strive to win the game in one fell swoop in the second half!"
At this time, Simon Grayson just assigned tasks to Zach Thompson, but after the second half of the game began, he was completely stunned.
At 48 minutes of the game, Zach Thompson received a straight pass from Glenn Welan from the top of the penalty area. Two Fulham players were preparing to block the defense, but Zach Thompson stopped the ball with his left foot, then turned around and directly knocked the ball out on the spot with his right foot!
"Dong!"
Even if he shot on the spot, Zach Thompson's amazing physique after being modified by the "Black Feet" system still made him kick a powerful and heavy shot!
"call--"
The ball whistled through the crowd, and when Fulham goalkeeper Mark made a save, the ball had already flew into the goal... This ball was too sudden!
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shaq's cold shot! This is Shaq's signature long shot! Fulham's players are completely unpredictable! The ball flew into Fulham's goal again! 2:0! At the beginning of the second half, Shaq used a goal to secure the victory. The advantage in the first half has been transformed into a victory. We will win this game!"
The fans of Leeds United at Elland Road Stadium all jumped up and cheered. They believed they could win this game. But Zach Thompson's goal made them completely relieved.
However, just four minutes later, Leeds United had another chance to counterattack. Right back Conorri directly passed the ball to the right rib. Zach Thompson ran up diagonally and rushed forward, forcing the ball with speed, and threw away Fulham's central defender. Then he dribbled the ball and leaned into the middle, which directly formed a single shot.
Recently, Zach Thompson is shooting sharply, and there are already 15 points, which means that he no longer only has two scoring methods: long shots and headers. His shooting skills are even more superb than many forwards.
"Bang!"
Zach Thompson suddenly shot the ball with his left foot while running. The goalkeeper's reaction was slower again, and the ball flew into Fulham's left goal without any suspense... 3:0!
"Cold shot! It's cold shot again! Scored twice! Hahaha, Shaq can shoot wonderful long shots with both feet, and naturally he can use his two feet to complete the shot while running! I think Shaq can use cold shots as one of his iconic shooting methods for a little training. I believe this will definitely increase his scoring rate!"
After leading three goals, Elland Road Stadium was still cheering, but the fans were completely relieved. There was really no suspense in this game, and even the commentator seemed very relaxed.
However, Simon Grayson off the court was very excited and hugged Eric Black: "Hahaha, Eric, I knew this kid would definitely do it! Look! It's a brace! It's a second time! Hahahaha..."
Eric Black was completely conquered by Zach Thompson's performance and kept grinning. As a football coach, there may be nothing more exciting than seeing a future superstar rising.
Just when everyone was satisfied with Shaq's performance, Zach Thompson himself still felt that he was not very satisfied. He always felt that his condition was really brave today, and it seemed... he could score a goal, and score another one!
The way...of course it is long shot!
Long-range shot is the first scoring method that Zach Thompson masters, and it is also the scoring method he practices the most, is most familiar and feels the most. Even if he heads the ball in front of the goal when serving a corner kick, he feels not as sure as long-range shot.
then--
Zach Thompson started... "Shots"!
At 56 minutes of the game, Zach Thompson kicked the ball that Tevez made for him high... In 57 minutes, Jonny Hausen's return pass after cutting in the baseline was also high again.
Again and again, no more!
When the game was 59 minutes old, Glenn Veran saw Zach Thompson's running position and gave him a straight pass. Near the right side of the top of the Fulham penalty area, Zach Thompson ran up the diagonally and knocked the ball out with a "bang" kick...
Zach Thompson's long shot after running will be very perverted, and even it will hurt when hitting someone. If you hit the head, you can kick someone with a slight concussion. However, when this force is fully opened, the shooting angle is not easy to control, but... this time he will control it.
"call--"
The ball instantly arrived in front of the goal!
The goal is...the inside of Fulham's right post!
Fulham goalkeeper Mark stood very well this time, and he was already preparing when he saw the perverted guy "Shake" catch the ball. No other players are like him. He scored strongly after getting the ball n times in a game. I guess he would have to bear a heavy burden on his waist and legs if he changed his body.
really--
It's a long shot again!
Mark fell to the left and hit the ball with his fist. He didn't dare to use his palm at all, as he would definitely lose his hand.
"Bang!"
Mark's actions and ideas are correct, but unfortunately - he is still slow!
After the ball was rubbed by Mark's left fist, it bounced into the goal...
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!! Shaq! Shaq! It's Shaq again! Hat trick! Shaq scored a hat trick! It's amazing! It's amazing! It's amazing! It's so incredible! 14 minutes! In just fourteen minutes in the second half, Shaq completed the hat trick! It's incredible efficiency! It's surprisingly violent! It's so cruel!"
Amid the crazy roars and jumps of Leeds United fans, Elland Road Stadium seemed to be coming alive, jumping around there!
Simon Grayson was completely stunned off the court. He didn't run out to celebrate like everyone else, and just muttered to himself: "Damn... so fucking... **... I knew... I knew... this kid... this kid..."
On the court, Zach Thompson was surrounded by his teammates. The "Beast" Tevez strangled his neck with surprise: "Damn it! Shaq! You kid are so perverted! You are just a big pervert!"
Teves has scored 29 league goals this season. Of course, his efficiency is much higher than that of Zach Thompson, but even so, he has to sincerely admire this 19-year-old boy. As a midfielder, he was pointed by the head coach during the break, but in the end he completed a hat trick in just fourteen minutes. Although he was facing a weak team like Fulham, even so, it was too violent and too cruel, right?
Chapter completed!
