Chapter 380 Intense
Chapter 380 Intense
"It's halftime now..."
"Both teams launched very aggressive attacks in the first half, and it seemed that both sides had completely abandoned defense!"
"This is a game that will get the fans excited!"
"Judging from the environment at the scene, the shouts from both sides were evenly matched..."
The commentators were using this time to interact with the fans in the audience, but they had been excited for so long that they were starting to lose their energy.
Everyone is resting.
Apart from the coaches.
"If we really had 'home advantage' in this game, we would have won already!"
"Look how inspired their players were in the last game!"
Lyman wasn't usually one to complain, but once he started deciding on tactics, he immediately became a different person.
After all, many details can determine the outcome of a match.
Previously, Li Yanqing made all the decisions, so he couldn't understand this feeling.
Sometimes you really can't blame the head coach for liking to complain...
"Fortunately, we still have the upper hand."
"There's still time."
Li Yanqing patted Lyman on the shoulder.
They all stayed on the coaching bench to participate in the discussion and did not go to the locker room to disturb the players.
Several team captains will do a good job of motivating their teammates.
"If Robinson Crusoe had done that, I'm sure you would have kicked down his office door by now!"
“I don’t understand, Li.”
"Why are you silent about what Little Fleck did?"
Lehmann still couldn't quite understand why the stadium had to accommodate so many fans.
The main issue is that almost all the extra people are fans of the opposing team.
This completely negated their home advantage.
"Because he is ignorant."
"As for Robinson, don't worry, he would never do that."
Li Yanqing shrugged, looking equally helpless.
If he were to point out something wrong with the small business owner now, it would do nothing but provoke him.
Right now, Little Fleck is just doing some stupid things.
If he continues to act irrationally, he may not be able to bear the consequences...
"Alright, Jens, forget about it."
"You know, most of the time we can't actually make those decisions."
Li Yanqing felt that Lehmann was at a disadvantage because he had never been to other clubs.
Previously, Professor Wenger was able to completely control the locker room and had the greatest support from the management. When he came to Burton, Li Yanqing's situation was similar.
But in reality, almost no head coach can achieve this level of performance nowadays.
Owners will inevitably interfere in some aspects of team affairs.
As for whether they'll do something stupid, that depends on who the boss is...
"Once I find the club, I will definitely demand full control!" Lyman glanced at the scoreboard on the field.
Although the team is currently leading by one goal, the opponent is in surprisingly good form, so it's not surprising that they equalized the score right from the start.
This made him constantly worried about the final outcome of the competition.
In fact, Li Yanqing's attitude wasn't entirely optimistic.
However, his concerns were somewhat different.
Their own players, especially Ibrahimovic, are exhausted.
Although Dybala and Ogradi could be substituted in for the second half, they had just come on and were certainly not as hot as the players who had played the full half.
It would be bad if the substitution time became disconnected from the game.
One player who doesn't adapt can make a difference of one or two goals.
"In short, we will definitely have to change our tactics in the second half."
"What we need to do now is to determine the time."
"Navie, remember to keep an eye on the opponent's formation. If the pace slows down, we'll seize the opportunity to make substitutions immediately..."
As Li Yanqing had predicted, the situation unfolded exactly as he had envisioned.
At the start of the second half, Roma continued their strong offensive.
Their players are generally in excellent form right now, better than Burton's players.
They felt the encouragement from the fans even when playing away from home, which boosted their confidence.
They played even more recklessly.
As for Burton's players, they were somewhat frustrated.
Is this still their home turf?
The cheers were barely audible!
What sustains their good form is their unwavering determination.
This is their home ground, how can they let the opposing players show off?
Therefore, in a normal match, both sides are running, dribbling, intercepting, and shooting with all their might...
Burton took a one-goal lead in the first half thanks to their strength, but if the intensity remains this high in the second half, it could be dangerous for them.
Don't be fooled by the relatively low transfer fees of Roma's players; most of them are young, and they have far fewer fragile players than Burton!
Ibrahimovic and Sun Yan both engaged in a lot of physical contact in the first half, and Li Yanqing's biggest worry now is that they won't be able to keep going.
He even hesitated, wondering whether he should switch on Dybala later.
“gooooooooooooal!”
"Another goal!"
"The sixth goal of the match!"
"From Rome! They've equalized!"
As fate would have it, in the 53rd minute of the match, the opponent successfully tied the score.
"Oh!"
"Cheer up, Hart!"
"You didn't even make any effective saves in this game!"
"And the guards, have they forgotten everything they learned in training today?"
Lehmann had rushed to the sidelines and started yelling; he was extremely dissatisfied with the players' performance.
In particular, he usually trains these guards himself.
“I…” Joe Hart, who was called out, looked over innocently and then shrugged.
Indeed, most of the goals conceded were not his fault.
The opposing team either had two players standing in front of the goal, or they would shoot directly into the corner from a distance; almost every goal they scored was a sure thing.
Unless he's possessed by God, it would be really difficult for him to keep them all out.
As for the defense...
Their performance wasn't bad either.
The main problem was that both sides were fighting so hard that the forwards often couldn't get back to defend in time after rushing forward, and then they were outnumbered.
Compared to the defense, they felt the midfield was a bigger problem.
It seems the barrier didn't function as a barrier?
But looking at David Lewis and Lars Bender, who were grimacing and rubbing their chests, they couldn't bring themselves to say such a thing.
As for the forwards...
Don't even mention it, just being able to score a goal is really great.
This is a competition where they want to shift the blame but don't know where to shift it.
The unfortunate defensive leader, Joe Hart, had to bear the coach's wrath alone.
So he had no choice but to shout at his teammates as well.
"Stay close to the defense!"
"At worst, we can use some more aggressive tactics, as long as we don't give them a penalty!"
"It's like there's no referee in this game; he hasn't given out a single card yet!"
