After Leeds scored a goal in the first half, it did not cause much trouble. It almost ended under Leeds' forced pressure. When the second half began again, Song Shiwan once again proved a truth, that is, tactics + data, which can spread a game on paper. If there is a coach who is good at adjusting, then this tactics + data addition question will have an answer, tactics + data = victory.

After the second half, Middlesbrough also churned twice in the Leeds' offensive tide, but they didn't know that this was a sign of their complete death, because they didn't know why they were touched through in an instant.

Song Shiwan said while calculating on the court: "Head, Kewell's breakthrough success rate has begun to decline, and even the threatening ball sent after the breakthrough has been frequently blocked. Hart has also begun to be restricted, and the threat of offense on the left side has decreased by 13%.

Ollillie stood on the sidelines and listening to the data behind him and what was happening in front of him, which made him understand the current situation. McLaren changed his playing style, from trying to get points from Leeds at the beginning to having to stabilize the defense. McLaren is not a fool, and the impatientness that the players are oppressed requires time to digest. How can he squeeze out time to calm down on the court? Is there any other way besides defense?

Middlesbrough’s defense has been solid, and the players will have time to calm down. Then, they will still have the entire second half. As long as the players are enough, they may have a chance to turn the tables at home. After all, they have only been scored a goal. This is the most unsafe score in the world!

"Remember what I said to you, hold on, we can win!!!" McLaren exerted spiritual motivation on the side of the court, hoping to create a prospect of victory through illusory words. Unfortunately, this prospect is too empty.

Fans seemed to have noticed this at this moment, so Middlesbrough's team songs rang at the Riverside Stadium, and the powerful shouts of home fans also appeared. They wanted to use this form of support to help the team fill the void, but this became pale and powerless before the data in the two-digit decimal places were specifically measured.

Song Shiwan has been watching the situation on the court, and he is also thinking about the problem from the perspective of the head coach. If he is Leeds' head coach, what should he do at this time? Increase breakthroughs to create opportunities for set pieces? Rely on long shots? Use these conventional methods to break through Middlesbrough's intensive defense after being scored a goal?

It was consumed in 10 minutes, and Middlesbrough's defense improved a little. Kewell's left road was completely silent by Ince and Middlesbrough's right forward guard. There was indeed no reason to eat everything on the court!

"Head, Ince's defensive success rate is increasing, Middlesbrough's midfield interception is improving, and if the opponent's defensive counterattack tactics are just being routed under the pressure we put in, our players may have doubts about the tactics formulated by the coaching staff, resulting in insufficient self-confidence."

When Song Shiwan kept saying various data, it was equivalent to adding a layer of psychological pressure to Olilai. In fact, he hoped to use his own data reminders to let Olilai come up with a way to crack the iron barrel array. He knew that in this case, he wanted to find a way to crack the iron barrel array based on the conclusions he had drawn from studying the data in front of the TV and the implementation of tactics. Because this required the inspiration that was squeezed out by standing in the head coach's position many times and being surrounded by pressure many times. In other words, this was the experience that was exchanged for many failures.

How can you accumulate these experiences without being in the scene?

Watching the players’ game in front of the TV, the coaches are directing on the spot, and they will never be able to feel their mood at that time.

"Head, midfield control is being recovered bit by bit by bit by bit by Middlesbrough, and they have successfully organized a second line of defense in the hinterland."

Middlesbrough's total score in the 2001-2002 season was 12th in the Premier League standings, scoring 35 goals and conceding 47 goals. This seems to be a very rubbish result, but in the entire Premier League, Middlesbrough ranks seventh in the ranking with the least conceded goals!

What does this mean? It shows that after McLaren entered the Riverside Stadium, he first rectified the defense line with limited resources, which is an improvement for a team like Middlesbrough.

Now, how difficult is it to break the opponent's progress?

"Calm down, Song, as a coach, you can never lose your clear mind on the court!"

Oliley stared at the stadium. Now is the real moment of the game between the two sides. Even that goal is no longer important. What is important is that whoever can score the next goal can control all the psychological advantages.

"Boss, since their midfield defense success rate is improving, why don't we avoid it?" A bold assumption suddenly appeared in the depths of Song Shiwan's mind, but he had not thought about the specific ideas yet. How to avoid it? He had not figured out yet. This was the result of insufficient experience.

But Ollillie seemed to be completely awakened, avoid it, yes, why not?

bump!

Buck's long shot on the court created a goal for Middlesbrough, but Oliley shouted at the court: "Batty!"

The midfielder organized Barty slowly leaned over on the court. Olirei grabbed his shoulder with both hands and said, "Listen to every word I say. When the opponent's goal kicks out, don't show any change of tactical intentions, and then..."

Beep!

The referee's whistle sounded, Schwarzer kicked the ball out with his big foot, Dubery pushed the ball back to the opponent's half in the middle after the half, and Leeds pressed over again.

McLaren smiled. In the 5 minutes that had just passed, he did not see any change from Leeds, and he still played hard in the middle and left cooperation. This obviously could not pose a threat to his defense. Perhaps now is the best time to counterattack!

60 minutes passed quickly, with only half an hour left in the normal game, and the fight between the players on the court became more and more intense...

Kewell was knocked down by Stockdale when he dribbled the ball forward. As a result, the football stopped the ball before the football rolled to Ince. At this time, Middlesbrough midfielders hoarded in the hinterland and organized into the second line of defense. Even former South veteran Boksic on the front line pulled back to defend. McLaren shouted in the same second: "Steal, counterattack!!!"

At the same moment, Barty, who was in front of the central circle, raised her hand and asked: "Hart, here!"

Hart turned around and passed back under the opponent's press. Barty ran out against the football before the ball arrived, and swung his thigh when he was about to come into contact with the football... The football was just being pulled by the falling thigh while rolling - empty!

McLaren was stunned in an instant. He didn't understand what Barty was going to do. He adjusted the goal in the middle of the opponent's halftime position? What a joke, Schwarzer stood on the goal line!

The football began to fall in the heart of Middlesbrough's halftime, which was not a goal at all. The football's fall point was completely an empty space between the two lines of defense.

Long-term rushing?

"Oliley, you crazy man, actually played a long pass in the opponent's halftime and broke through the dense defense!!!" McLaren was completely speechless. With his brain, he couldn't think of how this idea was formed!

It was Viduka who successfully competed for the top of the penalty area with his strong body, but this time he did not head the ball, but ferry!

Football appeared a very small jumping arc above Viduka's head. This time, the jump completely crossed Middlesbrough's second defense line. There was no Premier League center who could not do the ball for his teammates. This is the characteristic of Premier League centers in this era. For example, Hiller, Crouch, and Husky were once the best!

Fowler's agility was revealed at once. With Barty's first long pass, Viduca could inertially make a ball for his teammates, and was made a god by Anfield's KOP stands. Even in the hearts of Liverpool fans, Fowler, who surpassed Ian Rush, would certainly go in with the situation!

In an instant, Fowler threw away the opponent's defender, and the moment Fowler inserted in, the football fell just now. At the same time, Fowler didn't wait for the football to land completely, and raised his foot and shot directly!

This is the inspiration for the forward. When the football lands, it is necessary to wait for the football to bounce up. If Schwarzer reflects it, the opportunity will completely disappear. It is definitely not easy to continue to find such an opportunity in intensive defense... Touch!

Swish!

The football flew directly into the upper right corner under Fowler's mat. The entire Middlesbrough defense line ran symbolically for a few steps back at the moment of Barty's long pass, and did not respond to the sudden attack.

Beep!!!

The referee blew the whistle and scored the goal, effective!!!

After scoring the goal, Fowler ran wildly on the court. When he was running to the sidelines, he dived and glided along the turf!

“YE!!!”

Ollillie yelled at the side of the court, hugged Song Shiwan, let go, and patted Song Shiwan on the shoulder and said, "What does it feel like to change the game through your own efforts?"

Song Shiwan listened to the few thousand Leeds fans suppressing tens of thousands of Middlesbrough fans with shouts, and listened to the 'God', 'God', 'God', and 'God' shouts coming from the stadium were like he scored a goal: "It's great!!!"

...

The remaining game time is basically meaningless. Middlesbrough was completely beaten without fighting spirit. In the end, Ollillie replaced Fowler with Robbie Keane. Keane scored the icing goal on the cake in the 89th minute. Leeds scored a valuable three-pointer on the road to the championship with a score of 3:0 at the Riverside Stadium.

However, Ollillie said at the post-match press conference: "For me, the most important thing in this game is definitely not three-pointers, but our assistant coach!"
Chapter completed!
