Halftime, in the home team's locker room.
The players were a little uneasy.
They knew that Steve Adams usually looked amiable, like Santa Claus.
However, if the team did not perform well, he would become Satan!
But this time, Steve Adams did not curse. Instead, she bowed to everyone.
Eh?
What was going on?
"You guys actually performed well. Everyone was very active in running, and the tactical play was also reflected.
Conceding two goals in the first half was actually my fault.”
Indeed, the head coach Adam carefully reviewed the first half.
This time, it was not the players who underestimated the enemy, but he himself.
Mansfield, like the previous Torquay United, was a fifth tier English Parliament team.
However, their strength was much weaker, equivalent to 0.5 Tuo Kui Lian.
According to the data of the British Parliament, Mansfield ranked fifth from the bottom in terms of goals scored per game and third from the bottom in terms of goals conceded per game.
Basically, they were jumping around repeatedly in the relegation zone.
Steve Adams believed that if he could attack at the start of the game and take advantage of the opponent's underestimation of the enemy to steal one or two goals.
It was much more stable to play defensive counterattack.
Therefore, he made a lot of arrangements and planned to use the home advantage to attack in the first five minutes.
There was nothing wrong with this strategy. It was very reasonable.
But the manager on the other side thought the same!
The Mansfield commander had already witnessed the strength of the opposing two forwards, Xuan and Waldi.
Therefore, he also planned to attack first and then play defensive counterattack.
Using defensive counterattack against an amateur league that was three levels lower than him?
The other party's commander had already given him enough respect!
After the match began, the two sides actually formed a few rounds of attacks! Let the fans shout to their hearts 'content!
Xuan completed two high-quality shots, but unfortunately, he couldn't hit the right spot due to the interference of the opposing defenders, missing the goal by a hair.
Then, Mansfield United's goal came.
They used a blitzkrieg to break through the gates of Stokes Bridge.
The home team was trailing 0:1!
Just three minutes later, the opponent used a corner kick again and headed the ball into the net!
0:2！
Stokes Bridge was beaten and temporarily withdrew their defense until the end of the first half.
"It was my mistake in the first half, but don't be discouraged. We still have a way to win.”
Coach Adams looked at Xuan and Waldy.
"Because we have the strongest forward combination!”
"That's right!"
“F**k-Yeah！”
"So…" The head coach paused and waited for everyone to quiet down before continuing,""We'll continue to attack in the second half!"
"What?"
……
In the second half of the game, the fans were surprised to find that the home team, which was two goals behind, actually pressed forward in formation and prepared to attack!
"Are they crazy? Do they think they haven't conceded enough goals?”
"He probably went all out and used this match to train his soldiers.”
"Indeed, the last time we defeated Tuo Kui Lian, we were already very strong. It really wasn't easy for us to reach this point.”
"We can play against a team from the United Kingdom. What else do we ask for?”
The fans thought that their team was fighting for glory and had already ignored the outcome.
The opposing manager thought so too.
"Hmph, being behind by two goals and defending to the death is also a loss. It's better to come out and fight.
Choosing to die standing up, you're a tough guy!"
In his opinion, as long as the other party was willing to attack, he could enter a few more, which would be safer.
Of course, before the 65th minute, they still had to stabilize their defense.
After that, their stamina decreased and they launched a large-scale counterattack.
As a result, a magical scene appeared on the field. The amateur team actually suppressed the semi-professional team!
In the eyes of others, Stokes Bridge was courting death.
The opponent's position was tight, and even if they surrounded him, they would not have any chance.
But in Xuan's eyes…tight formation?
Was this a joke? So many loopholes!
Even without the Fox of the Forbidden Zone prosthetic eye, he could still find plenty of openings.
Now that he had the shadow, the divine skill of positioning, the opponent's 'solid' direction was like a sieve in Xuan's eyes!
It was only two minutes into the second half when the opportunity came!
Xuan first ran diagonally to trick the opponent into shifting his center of gravity, then quickly changed directions and instantly shook off the opponent!
At the same time, Waldi's pass came knocking over!
Shoot!
Bang!
Xuan aimed at the far corner and fired a powerful shot!
He thought he had it, but the ball actually felt pretty good.
Even the opposing goalkeeper had given up!
In the end, near the far corner, there was a fullback who stretched his leg and blocked the ball out of the end line!
Corner kick!
Commander Mansfield heaved a sigh of relief.
It was too exciting!
"Damn, that striker is so f * cking flexible!”
Although the ball was blocked, Xuan wasn't disappointed.
Instead, he would become more and more confident!
Causality Shot (3/5)
The corner kick came out, and Xuan used the shadow to grab the best landing spot in the crowd and headed the ball!
Unfortunately, the opposing defender also jumped up to try to head, slightly interfering with Xuan and the ball was headed high.
Causality Shot (4/5)
Next ball!
Definitely!
