Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

After five minutes, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

After hearing the whistle, Adebayor, who was standing in the center circle to kick off, immediately passed the ball back to Sneijder behind him.

Sneijder did not stop the ball, and before the Reading players approached him, he passed the ball to Caldwell on the right.

But the first attack after the opening ended as Caldwell advanced to Reading's bottom line and was intercepted.

In the following 20 minutes, Leeds United did not adopt the usual high-pressure strategy in defense, so they were basically pressed in their own half by the fierce offensive Reading.

All of this was seen by Reading coach Coppell, who had been directing the team on the sidelines. As expected, Leeds United had a big problem with their physical fitness.

Looking at Li Shiguang, who was writing and drawing on the board next to him, Coppell couldn't help but sneer.

After all, they are still young and lack tactical reserves. How can they cope with the long league?

At the same time, in a villa in London, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger was also chatting with his assistant coach about his views on the game.

Last week, Arsenal's scouts sent a scouting report to his mailbox. The protagonist in the report was Adebayor on TV now.

Just now, the assistant coach asked Wenger a question: "Professor, Leeds United has not organized a threatening attack so far in the game. Could it be that Sir Ferguson is right, and Leeds United has problems with its physical reserve?"

Wenger frowned slightly, and did not answer immediately, but looked at the calm Li Shiguang on the screen.

In fact, since he saw the scout report last week, he has taken time to watch Leeds United's games.

Of course, it is mainly to see Adebayo, who is highly praised by his own scouts.

But after watching a few games.

From a certain perspective, he also admires Li Shiguang.

On the one hand, he thinks that Li Shiguang, like him, is a coach who is good at discovering and using young players.

And the tactics he uses are also his favorite offensive football, unlike Mourinho, the manic patient, who just comes up and parks the bus with you.

As for the others, he doesn't feel much. After all, in Wenger's mind, he has only one opponent, that is Ferguson.

However, he also saw Ferguson's evaluation of Leeds United this morning.

People who are familiar with Wenger know that as long as Ferguson likes something, he doesn't like it. And what Ferguson doesn't like, he must like it.

So after a little thought, Wenger slowly said: "He is completely talking nonsense! Since Li can come up with a tactical system that is different from the mainstream of British football, he must have a backhand!"

Seeing that Wenger directly refuted Ferguson's statement, the assistant coach no longer extended this topic, but turned his attention back to the game.

At this time, the game has reached the 39th minute and the first half is about to end.

This round is Reading's offensive round. Perhaps they are used to the bombardment of more than 30 minutes. Now Reading's players have all pressed to Leeds United's half, and even the two central defenders have crossed the center circle.

Copper was shouting wildly on the sidelines, directing his players to press forward. In his field of vision, Leeds United, which has been defending for nearly 40 minutes, should not be able to hold on. If they work harder, they must enter the halftime break with a score of 1:0.

On the other side, Li Shiguang had quietly walked to the sidelines, and his left hand quietly pointed in the direction of Reading's half.

Sneijder, who was standing outside the penalty area, saw Li Shiguang's gesture, and immediately understood it, and signaled to Milner with his eyes.

Reading's striker Kevin Doyle was waving for the ball, and he ran to an empty position.

The big bald head who had been entangled with him for almost the entire first half was now at least 6 or 7 meters away from him.

His teammates also saw his position and passed the ball to him without hesitation.

Seeing his teammates pass the ball, Doyle immediately prepared to run forward two steps to catch the ball.

Suddenly, there was a white figure wearing a No. 15 jersey in his eyes, and then the football passed to him was intercepted.

At the moment Milner intercepted the ball, a roar was heard in the ears of the Leeds United players at the same time.

"Press forward! Counterattack quickly! Quick! Quick! Quick!" On the big screen, Li Shiguang, who had just been as quiet as a stone sculpture, was heading towards Reading.

Waving hands frantically in the direction of the half court!

While Li Shiguang was roaring, the players who were just in the defensive position ran to Reading's half court at the same time.

Milner, who had intercepted the ball, did not hesitate at all and passed the ball directly to McKenna on the left.

McKenna passed the ball to Sneijder who had already run to the center circle before the Reading defenders rushed over.

It took only 2 seconds from Milner's interception to Sneijder's receiving the ball.

Seeing Sneijder receiving the ball, Reading's players realized that they had changed from the offensive side to the defensive side, and began to run desperately to their own half court.

Sneijder, who received the ball, had already crossed the half court with the ball.

In front of him, there were Adebayor and Tevez.

On the left and right were McLean and Caldwell.

Milner followed behind him.

And Reading, including the goalkeeper, only had 3 players still in their own half court.

In just 2 or 3 seconds, the situation on the field changed completely, and Leeds United had formed a 6-on-3 situation.

The final shot was made by Adebayo.

Because they were afraid that he would pass the ball to Adebayo and Tevez, the two Reading defenders did not come up to press.

As Sneijder continued to advance, the defender following Tevez finally couldn't help it and rushed over to try to steal Sneijder, but before he ran to the defensive distance, Sneijder easily passed the ball to Tevez who was unguarded.

When the other defender saw Tevez got the ball, he had no choice but to rush up to defend, and the goalkeeper also attacked, trying to block the angle of Tevez's shot.

But Tevez did not take credit, but knocked the ball to Adebayo on the other side.

Facing the empty goal, Adebayo, who was in good form, scored in one fell swoop.

1:0, Leeds United leads Reading at home!

From Milner's steal to Adebayor's shot, the entire counterattack took only 6.3 seconds.

They showed the media and fans at the scene and in front of the TV what a textbook-like quick counterattack is.

Li Shiguang on the sidelines was also excited and ran with his hands open, and then used the farmer's three punches that have become his signature move, and the fans in the stands also responded enthusiastically.

In the villa in London, watching Li Shiguang celebrating wildly, Wenger winked at the assistant coach next to him, and then teased: "Look, what did I just say? Ferguson called this unable to run?"

Hearing Wenger ask this.

The assistant coach just smiled and said nothing, thinking to himself: "Damn, you gods are fighting, don't bring me along."
