Chapter 21 The Top 8 Battle 2

After taking the lead, Leyton Orient played more calmly on the field. The two wingers frequently advanced forward, which made Fulham's wing defense exhausted. Coupled with the central scheduling of Lu Deke, the kick became smoother. Leyton Orient made Fulham's coach anxiously yelling towards the field from the sidelines.

The sharp offensive Leyton Orient found a good opportunity again in the 43rd minute of the game.

This time it was a cross from Alves on the right after breaking through the bottom. Ibrahimovic's header was blocked by the Fulham goalkeeper, but the goalkeeper who fell to the ground was a little desperate after finding out where the ball had landed, because it appeared in front of the football It was a player from Leyton Orient. It turned out that Deco stretched out his left foot in front of the defensive player, and with a light poke, the football rolled into the goal from the side of the fallen Fulham goalkeeper.

2-0, Leyton Orient extended their lead towards the end of the first half.

After Deke scored, he ran to the sidelines and hugged Jiang Feng.

"Boss, thank you!"

"Come on! You will be the best player on the planet."

The embrace of the master and the apprentice made the Leyton fans in the stands very excited. One is the savior of Leyton Orient in their minds, and the other is the core of the midfielder of Leyton. This season so far, it is a great achievement to achieve such results. All Leighton fans could not imagine before the start of the season. Although Deco cannot be compared with the striker in terms of goals, Leighton's entire midfield offensive scheduling depends on him to sort out, the conversion of offense and defense, fast and The slow transition made Layton's midfield very organized.It can be said that Deco's role in the entire tactical system designed by Jiang Feng is the most important in the team, which is why Deco ran to the sidelines to hug Jiang Feng after scoring a goal, because it is a kind of trust.

After leading 2-0, the first half of the game ended with the referee's whistle within a few minutes, and the two sides returned to the locker room to prepare for the second half of the game.

The rest time passed quickly and the game resumed.

The current Fulham is obviously unwilling to admit defeat. During the intermission, they immediately made adjustments to the game situation in the first half, especially for the two wing attacks of Leyton Orient. Fulham replaced a The offensive midfielder was replaced by a defensive midfielder, and the formation was adjusted to a 451 defensive counterattack formation, hoarding heavy troops in the midfield.

But after the game started, Fulham's head coach discovered Jiang Feng's difficulty. In the second half, Leyton Orient also changed their tactics. In the second half of the first half, the aggressive Leyton Orient also began to retreat. The formation played a defensive counterattack. Anyway, it gave Fulham the feeling that if you don't come out, I won't come out. It looks like a rogue. For Jiang Feng, the result of 2-0 and 8-0 is the same. Now that he is already ahead There is no need to fight to the death, after all, the thickness of the bench on my side is a bit weak.

After the start of the second half of the game, everyone who watched the game found this weird scene. No matter who gets the ball from the two teams on the field, they will fall in the backcourt first, and the side without the ball will not step forward. Pressing and interfering, but as soon as the ball passes halftime, it will be turned on its back. The only result of such a scene is that the process of the game makes people drowsy, without any technical content, but this kind of consumption is very important for the two teams. are quite different.

The head coach of Fulham stood on the sidelines and felt that he couldn't go on like this. If he went on like this, he would commit suicide slowly. After all, he is now behind. If he can't score goals quickly, then the game will be farther and farther away from him.

Thinking of this, he immediately yelled at the field to attract the players' attention, and then made gestures to ask the players to strengthen the frontcourt press, in an attempt to prevent the Leyton Orient players from passing the ball easily on the field.

But he never thought that this adjustment would completely overthrow all his arrangements in the midfield.

Jiang Feng, who was sitting firmly on the coach's bench, saw that the opponent changed his tactical arrangement, and immediately asked Ai Xing to warm up, and asked the players to shrink some formations again, just like the first half, Fulham stormed, Lai Dayton defended and counterattacked.

Fulham's desperate and crazy attack in the second half still caused Leyton Orient a lot of trouble.

In the 68th minute of the game, Fulham's crazy attack paid off. The Fulham midfielder hit Wald's arm with a shot from outside the penalty area, and then the referee blew the signal of the game. Whistle, finger pointing to the penalty spot.

Fulham's penalty kick, 2 to 1,.

Seeing such a conceded goal, Jiang Feng couldn't help but shook his head standing on the sidelines. The ball was not the responsibility of anyone, so Jiang Feng called Ai Xing to his side.

"Michael, remember, don't let the opponent handle the ball easily after you go on the field. Your task is to make the connection between their midfielders difficult, and then tell Daniele that you can try more long shots, OK ?”

"Understood, boss."

Leighton Orient chose to make a substitution, and Kleberson went down to Aixin, a standard matchup substitution.

However, Ai Xing's playing represented that Leyton Orient began to increase the intensity of pressing in the midfield. Jiang Feng's substitution soon paid off. Flying all over the field, and his movements were very tough, he was forced to speed up the passing of the ball, and as a result, more mistakes were made.

In the 76th minute of the game, it was less than 10 minutes before Fulham got back a goal.

Ai Xing's full-court pressing finally brought the team a good chance to counterattack. A Xing's pressing in the backcourt caused the opponent's pass to go wrong, and he passed the ball directly to De Rossi. De Rossi lobbed the ball to Deco then began to move forward, passed the ball to the right near the center circle, and Malouda began to accelerate along the wing.

When he was about to reach the penalty area, a sudden inward cut caused the defensive player to lose his position. Then he found Ibrahimovic who was following up in the middle with a half-high ball on the penalty area line. Ibrahimovic faced the football without waiting for the ball to land, and went straight The foot volleys the football into the net.

3 to 1, Ibrahimovic's goal completely sealed the victory for Leyton Orient.

In the end, the score was maintained until the end of the game.
