Chapter 166 Bentley’s Heart of a Strong Man!

Leeds United are lucky. In the draw of the quarterfinals, they drew CSKA Moscow, and they played away in the first leg, which is quite a bargain in the two-round elimination game. As long as the "Youth Guards" can draw or lose less away games, they have a great chance of reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

As soon as the draw result came out, the tall German chairman Bierkhov smiled. He was so satisfied with the draw result this time. In the Champions League quarterfinals, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, AC Milan, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Manchester United, Galatasaray, Inter Milan and other strong teams, but his team drew the weaker CSKA Moscow, which is very lucky.

But...will this be related to Leeds United's insistence on playing offensive football?

Bierkhov felt a vague feeling in his heart that Leeds United's ability to draw CSKA, a relatively weak opponent, is it related to Platini's preference for offensive football?

Simon Grayson was cautious in an interview with reporters: "We have not played in the Champions League for a long time, especially after the team entered the quarterfinals, the two-round elimination system is very unfamiliar to us, and the opponent's strength is not weak, and the weather in Moscow is also something we need to overcome, so... Well, the result of the game is really difficult to predict, I can only guarantee that my team and I will do our best... Champions League? Haha, I think this year's Champions League championship should be fought for by Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​and Real Madrid. The strength of these three teams is obviously stronger than that of other teams. Although we doubled Barcelona in the group stage, it can only prove that we are not a bottom team. Their lineup was not neat at the time."

During the entire interview, Simon Grayson seemed very clear-headed, cautious in his words and did not underestimate himself. The current "Youth Guards" are one of the most powerful European football teams. Although they are not yet a giant team, they also have their own pride and confidence.

Don't look at Simon Grayson being cautious in UEFA, but when he returned to England, he immediately became domineering. In the 16th round of the Premier League away game against Norwich City, Simon Grayson conducted a large-scale rotation again.

John Flake, Bentley, "Little Ben" and Vogt were rotated into the starting lineup, and the "Young Guards" obviously saved their strength again in this game.

There must be a gap in strength between the main players and the substitute players of any team, and the commonly used main lineup must have a higher tacit understanding. If you get involved in the substitute players, it will affect the overall combat effectiveness of the team. What's more, Simon Grayson sent four substitutes in one breath, and this time it was a away game, so... Leeds United encountered a little danger in the game. It was just a little bit.

After the game started, Leeds United, who played away, did not play their traditional tactical style. The ball control seemed a bit slow and the pass was not sharp enough. Therefore, Norwich City, who played at home, played fiercely. When the game reached 26 minutes, the corner kick was taken from their No. 12 American midfielder Bradley Johnson, shot a small angle in the penalty area on the left, and the score became 1:0.

After falling behind in the score, Leeds United's morale still seemed a little low. Norwich City is currently ranked 14th in the league. Even if Simon Grayson kept reminding the team not to underestimate the enemy before the game, the players still had the mood to underestimate the enemy, and they were not ready to fall behind at all.

At the critical moment, Shaq, who had the captain's armband on his arm, spoke: "Guys, we beat Barcelona's team at home and away. It's a big deal to be led by Norwich City!? Everyone ran faster and passed more accurately. We can definitely reverse the game!"

Shaq is quite prestigious in Leeds United, not to mention that he is the leader of the "Swordsman Group". No matter when Leeds United's players are members of the "Swordsman Group", they naturally followed suit after Shaq spoke.

After the game started again, Leeds United immediately launched a counterattack. After some possession, Shaq made a long shot at about 40 meters away from the opponent's goal. The ball roared towards Norwich City's goal, but because the angle was relatively blocked by the goalkeeper, the "black big man" Ameo was slower than when he went to make a follow-up shot, and was kicked out of the sideline by Norwich City defender.

Although Leeds United's counterattack failed to score, they gained confidence. Everyone, including "Beast" Tevez and Ameobi, once again had a strange feeling, that is, as long as the team has Shaq, a big pervert on the court, this game...it's hard to lose!

Ten minutes after Norwich City scored, that is, 36 minutes later, Leeds United got a chance to counterattack. Shaq took the ball in the middle and distributed it to Tevez on the left.

Although the "Beast" is twenty-nine years old, under the bonus of Shaq's teammates, he still runs like a gust of wind. When he dribbles the ball on the left and attacks wildly, Norwich City's defensive players could not intercept them at all. He could only run back after he had sex.

Teves is fast, and Leeds United's follow-up in the middle is a bit problematic. In addition to being a Shaq, the "black big man" Ameobi can only run to the point in the penalty area on the right. Shaq adds strength, ball protection and other attributes to Ameobi. In terms of speed, Ameobi uses too few places.

So... in this attack, Shaq was the only one who surrounded the middle!

But although there are few people, the threat is not low at all, because Norwich City players return to defense are not enough, and Shaq's current running ability is also the strongest in the world football world. The level of full attributes is really not something that ordinary people can imagine. Shaq completely chose the fastest and safest route to the penalty area of ​​Norwich City.

Then... Shaq suddenly stopped urgently, and the Norwich City players ran over him, and Tevez's cross was also sent!

"Bang!"

Shaq stood in front of the small penalty area facing the goal, swept his left foot and the ball flew into the Norwich City goal 5 meters away... At such a close distance, the goalkeeper could not react at all.

"goallllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The Leeds United Service Help Sanqian irons in the stands yelled wildly. Shaq ran over with a giggle, and at the same time turned around and pointed at Tevez who gave him an assist... and gave him another thumbs up!

The "Young Guards" ran wildly together, with Shaq's targets. Everyone saw the confident smile on Shaq's face, and suddenly they had no doubts about winning the game.

Leeds United has indeed performed unstoppable this season, but the level gap between substitute players and main players is quite large. There are young players such as Vogt, Chris Farley, who have a lot of experience in game. Of course, the most depressing one is Ashley Hood on the bench. This young man is obviously another genius midfielder, but Shaq's existence makes him have very few opportunities to play, but no one can do it. The "Young Guards" has no problem leaving captain Jonny Hausen, and even head coach Simon Grayson, but Shaq cannot do without Shaq. Otherwise, the team's combat effectiveness will soon drop by at least 30%. Shaq is using one top two or three on the court.

Shaq's goal made the morale of the "Young Guards", but the players in Norwich City were greatly affected. This time they finally fully understood why Leeds United ranked first in the standings. They tried hard to make a goal, but Shaq scored a goal casually and scored. The gap... is really big!

Four minutes later, Leeds United got the opportunity to serve a corner kick on the right. After the tactical corner kick was taken, it was sent to the space in the penalty area on the left after a round of passes. "Xiao Ben"'s game experience was really poor, the follow-up time was a little slower, and the shooting skills were far inferior to Ben Parker. As a result, the ball escaped the defensive player and finally rose above the crossbar.

Although the ball did not enter, Leeds United's momentum was completely overwhelmed. In the 43 minutes, Metres launched an attack from the right and dribbled the ball all the way to the penalty area along the baseline. In the chaos in front of the goal, he sent the ball to Bentley outside the small penalty area on the right. The 29-year-old England's right wing calmly gave a light shot, and the ball was steadily sent into the left goal of Norwich City... 2:1, Leeds United overtakes!

During the halftime break, Simon Grayson asked his team that a 2:1 score was not safe, and the second half should be scored as early as possible so that the victory could be secured.

But Simon Grayson did not expect that his request was completed just three minutes into the second half.

In the 48th minute of the game, young player John Fleck made a cross from the bottom on the left. Although he did not see the situation in the middle, the quality of the pass was very high, and there was a significant drop in the air. Then Shaq who surrounded the front point and Ameobi who surrounded the back point both became covers, and they both restrained their opponent's attention.

Bentley, who followed up in the middle, got a bargain. Without any defense, he shot three meters in front of the goal and directly sent the ball into the empty goal in front of him... 3:1!

Bentley, who finished the second score, was extremely excited. He even pulled down his clothes and threw them on the ground. He was not afraid of the referee's yellow card. The feeling of sitting on the bench... It was really sad!

This season, including today's game, Bentley only played three games for Leeds United. He only received one assist in the first two games. It's not that he is not at the level. He is really the Swedish kid who is only 19 years old and has outstanding talent. No matter how you look at it, Pivkowski is more valuable for training. In addition, Snowdgras will also grab this position, so Bentley's chances of playing are too few.

But even so, Bentley scored two goals in a row today, which still showed that he had the heart of a strong man. Even though he was just a substitute in the team, he never relaxed his requirements.
Chapter completed!
