After a fifteen-minute intermission, players from both sides returned to the court to continue the second half.
Bielsa did not make specific adjustments, but made arrangements on how to restrict Traore, and the Wolves personnel did not change.
But a few minutes into the game, Mo Yang discovered that the Wolves, which played 352 in the first half, had made great changes in their offensive and defensive formations.
Mo Yang didn't have time to observe the specific changes because he was almost too busy right now.
When the Wolves lose the ball in the frontcourt, they will block their ball release point through linkage with the midfield, making it a bit difficult for them to play the ball in the backcourt.
"Frank, we are in trouble!" Bielsa squatted on the sidelines and watched for a few minutes, then stood up and returned to the coaching bench, picking up the tactical board with a sullen face.
During the attack, Moutinho will appear behind the two forwards and in the attacking midfielder position, while the two wing-backs, Doherty and Traore, will also penetrate forward to form an attack formation similar to 325.
Forward Jota relies on the quickness and flexibility of his feet to provide support in the penalty area. Moutinho shares the task of organizing the ball and holding the ball. He and the other three people form a siege position, take turns to attack, change positions freely, and have rich attack methods.
Once the Wolves lose the ball in the frontcourt, the two wingers Doherty and Traore will not hesitate to retreat to the midfield and stand parallel to the two Wolves midfielders to form a 343 formation.
Immediately implement a high-pressure press.
In this way, their backcourt ball release point will be locked to the maximum extent. Even if it cannot be locked, it will slow down their counterattack speed to the maximum extent, giving Doherty and Traore enough time to retreat.
When Moutinho retreats to the midfield, the Wolves will be in a 532 defensive formation. By the time they get to the Wolves goal, there is already an iron wall.
But this places very high demands on the ability of the two wing players, Doherty and Traore. Once these two have physical problems, the Wolves' two wings will directly become their Achilles' heel, and the entire tactical system will collapse.
"Marcelo, if you continue to play like this, you will lose the ball. How about you use your new tactics?" Frank made a suggestion.
Bielsa frowned and was silent for a while, then shook his head and said: "Wait a little longer!"
On the professional court, it is not only the overall strength of the team that must be competed, but also the tactical ability and on-the-spot adaptability of the head coaches of both sides. Excellent head coaches react extremely quickly on the spot and can quickly make tactical adjustments according to the changes of the opponent.
In this regard, Bielsa is actually not very good, because the old man is sometimes very stubborn and loves to get into trouble. He knows that the team needs to make adjustments but he refuses to do so. Even Frank sometimes cannot understand this kind of paranoia.
At 55 minutes and 21 seconds, Aylin made a sliding tackle on the wing and kicked the ball out of the sideline.
"Yang! Think of a way, sooner or later we won't be able to defend if this continues!" Taking advantage of the dead ball time, Phillips came to Mo Yang's side and panted.
Mo Yang nodded. He already had some ideas, but he had to wait and see if Bielsa would make adjustments.
Doherty served a sideline ball and threw it directly to Jota near the baseline.
After receiving the ball, Jota faced Ayling's defense and rushed forward, directly attracting Leeds United's defensive focus to shift to the left wing, and passed back to Doherty with his heel.
Doherty directly passed the long ball to the right wing. Although Traore was marked by Dallas, his body was buggy. He savagely squeezed out of Dallas in one move. After stopping the ball in his chest, he broke through Dallas with explosive starting speed.
But this time he hit the gun. Mo Yang, who was well prepared, rushed over and slid to the ground. He directly shoveled the ball away and Dallas got it.
Bielsa's strategy against Traore is to compress his breakthrough space.
In Bielsa's words, this guy's brain is full of muscles. As long as his breakthrough space is compressed, even if he is allowed to break through the first person and the second person defends, compressing his space will break his rhythm.
It now appears that this defensive strategy is very effective and Traore's threat is halved.
After getting the ball, Mo Yang was not in a hurry to attack. After looking up and observing the Wolves formation, he grinned and thought of a stupid way to deal with these hungry wolves.
It's a bit dangerous and time-consuming, but if Bielsa doesn't make adjustments, he can only do this, otherwise they will lose the ball sooner or later.
Taking advantage of a dead ball time, Mo Yang quickly communicated with captain Cooper, passing the ball one to another. They all raised their hands towards Mo Yang, expressing their support for Mo Yang's idea.
Then Leeds United saw very obvious changes in their offense.
Mo Yang connected Leeds United's midfield and backfield through a lot of off-the-ball movement and frequent position changes, simply and brutally breaking the Wolves' blockade of their ball release point.
The fans at the scene were very happy when they discovered this, but the offense still failed to improve. Whenever the offense advanced to the front of the Wolves penalty area, they faced an iron wall.
And their hero Mo Yang also behaved very abnormally. If Yang was faced with this situation in the past, he would use gorgeous breakthroughs, precise passes, etc. to try to break through the defense and create space and time to hit the goal.
But now Mo Yang has directly reversed the situation, and has become procrastinating when attacking. Even if he successfully attacks the Wolves penalty area, he is kicking the ball around in front of the penalty area like a headless chicken, unable to find a chance.
Don't force it.
As long as the Wolves press for a moment, the ball is immediately passed back to the midfielder under Mo Yang's command, sometimes even all the way back to the goalkeeper for reorganization.
Time is passing. Although the two sides are playing back and forth, Leeds fans are lethargic. Even if there are beautiful attacks sometimes, they are played by Wolves.
Leeds United, on the other hand, will only defend and defend again. When they get the ball, they will pass it all the way from the backcourt to the midfield, and attack in front of the Wolves goal. If there is any slight disturbance, they will pass it back. They will never force it. If they lose the ball, they will continue to defend. There is no end.
.
"Eh!"
To be honest, Bielsa didn't understand Mo Yang's sudden move at first, but after squatting and watching for four or five minutes, his eyes fell on Traore and Doherty, and he suddenly understood.
I laughed outright.
"The method is a bit clumsy, but the effect is good!" Bielsa said to himself.
In his opinion, this method is a bit dangerous. Once Mo Yang fails to control the rhythm, both sides will suffer, but it turns out that Mo Yang did a very good job.
Glancing at Wolves coach Nuno, who was sitting calmly on the bench, Bielsa smiled again. The guy didn't seem to notice yet. This is the shortcoming of the young coach.
At the 80th minute of the game, Mo Yang saw that the number of forward penetrations of Wolves' Doherty and Traore decreased significantly, and he planned to give the Wolves a serious boost.
Dallas faced Traore again on the left wing, and he directly reached out to grab the ball. He bumped into Traore, and Traore was knocked away.
"This kid has a physical problem!" Dallas, who successfully grabbed the ball, was overjoyed.
Wolves players saw Traore lose the ball and immediately pressed.
Neves rushed directly to Mo Yang in front of him, Jimenez and Jota targeted Cooper and Koch, and Moutinho followed Phillips.
The division of labor is very clear, and all the ball exit points that Dallas can see are blocked in an instant.
Although Dallas grabbed the ball, he was unable to pass the ball immediately and was caught up by Traore again.
"Hey!"
Just when he was fighting with Traore, he suddenly heard Mo Yang's roar. He rolled his eyes and found that Mo Yang was running over. He immediately hit Traore hard and then quickly took the ball from Traore's crotch.
Poke it out.
Mo Yang ran towards the ball, but Neves was following closely behind him. He knew that in this situation, he would not be able to turn around even if he caught the ball.
So he waited for the ball to roll in front of him, stretched out his right toe and poked directly at the bottom of the ball.
Suddenly the ball flew high and flew over his head and Neves behind him. At the same time, Mo Yang quickly completed his turn and the ball just fell.
Mo Yang raised his thigh, knocked the ball forward with his knee, and then rushed up quickly.
Immediately, the three central defenders left behind by the Wolves appeared to be dead. Bennett gave up Harrison directly and quickly moved to Mo Yang's path to force Mo Yang to split. Once the ball was given to Harrison, he could buy time to wait.
Traore is back.
But when he looked at the frontcourt, his heart suddenly dropped. Traore couldn't run anymore and couldn't come back.
As a result, he didn't expect Mo Yang to rush over directly. As soon as he got in front of him, his left and right feet began to swing rapidly behind the ball, and his body swayed left and right.
Bennett, who was tall and powerful, was completely unshakable. He was knocked down by Mo Yang in just a few breaths. Then he sat on the ground and stared at Mo Yang as he walked away. He looked like he had seen a ghost. He would never have thought that he would be able to do this in his life.
Meet the pendulum passing person.
"I bought it!"
"I bought it!"
"Ronaldo's pendulum dribble! There are other dribbling moves that Yang can't do!" In the studio, Andy Gray and Hudson stood up in shock.
"boom!"
At this moment, the fans at the scene were like a volcano suddenly erupting with lava, and their cheers surged and spread instantly.
Mo Yang's pendulum is very similar to Ronaldo's, but the frequency is faster and the swing range of the body is also large. It is highly deceptive and highly entertaining.
After passing Bennett, Mo Yang had no defensive players in front of him, but Cody and Boley on his right were retreating quickly, and Bamford and the others had no one to care about.
"Three against two, this is not difficult for Bamford and Mo Yang, who have a very good understanding of each other. The difference lies in how the ball will be sent into the goal by Yang!" Andy Gray commented a little naughtily.
Mo Yang brought the ball to the left side of the top of the arc, and was about to wait for Bamford and Costa to come up on the other side, but suddenly he saw that the goalkeeper was standing a little forward.
Mo Yang only hesitated for a second before deciding to do it. He pushed the ball forward with his right foot, then quickly ran to catch up. He raised his right foot and hit the middle left part of the ball hard with the outside instep.
Patricio never expected that Mo Yang would shoot from this distance.
He quickly retreated and found that the ball was not very fast and was a bit straight. He thought he should be able to catch it.
But the next second, the trajectory of the ball that was flying straight suddenly changed and turned directly to the left. It was neither high nor low, and just went through the upper left corner of the goal.
"What an exaggerated arc!" Patricio had no reaction and didn't even move!
"boom!"
The birth of the goal set off the whole Elland Road. No one could have imagined that Mo Yang would shoot directly from that point and hit such an exaggerated arc with the outside of the instep.
The Leeds United fans were all crazy with joy, waving the white cloth strips in their hands wildly, cheering and hugging each other in celebration with the fans around them.
Mo Yang was also a little confused. He didn't use shooting kicks, but he didn't expect that he actually scored.
"World wave!"
"World wave!"
"Yang played an exaggerated world wave. This exaggerated arc reminded me of Quaresma, but Yang's arc is even more exaggerated!"
Andy Gray and Hudson in the studio were also excited by the ball. It was so beautiful that people couldn't help but marvel.
In the press area, Wei Bowen was not far from Mo Yang. He watched the ball all the way. Standing in front of the camera, his lips were trembling with excitement.
Bai Lele and others in the stands were completely integrated into this ocean of joy.
Xiao Di and Yang Ying held hands and danced non-stop, while Bai Lele, Lu Han and Chen He put their arms around each other's shoulders and swayed left and right to follow the Leeds United fans singing the Leeds United anthem.
At the urging of the referee, the game quickly restarted.
Although the Wolves players really wanted to equalize the score, especially Traore, he can no longer run.
Leeds United, on the other hand, can still run around and have fun. No one is afraid of them in terms of physical fitness. Bielsa's devilish physical training that makes him vomit again and again is not a joke.
In the following moments, Mo Yang took over the game. He constantly used the Wolves' two flanks to send precise through balls. However, Traore and Doherty simply couldn't keep up and could only watch Harrison and Costa.
Having fun on the street.
In the Wolves coaching area, Nuno took advantage of a dead ball opportunity and quickly replaced Traore and Doherty.
Nuno, who realized it later, looked extremely gloomy. Now that he thought about it, he realized that he had been deceived.
Leeds United's weak offense just now was just for show.
That cunning Chinese kept using that weak offensive rhythm to control their offensive and defensive rhythm, which not only caused Traore and Doherty to frequently switch positions up and down to consume their energy, but also other Wolves players.
But there is no way. The tactical system he designed is to achieve rich attack lines through frequent changes of positions. The Chinese has such a keen tactical awareness.
That goal just now was because Traore was exhausted and could not come back at all, causing the team's formation to collapse instantly.
Nuno lamented in his heart that he still underestimated this Chinese boy and fell short of success.
In the 85th minute, Mo Yang's physical strength reached the limit and his feet cramped. Bielsa immediately replaced him.
When the limping Mo Yang walked off the field, he received warm applause from the fans.
Seeing that this kid was finally replaced, Nuno breathed a sigh of relief!
During this period of time, this kid almost suffocated them. The wave after wave of attacks was so terrifying!
In the 95th minute, Oliver blew the whistle to end the game, and Leeds United won Wolves, a team with Premier League strength, with a score of 2-1.
