Episode [161]: The Power of Super Kevin

Brighton Football Club was established in 1901, starting from a low-level league. From 1979 to 1983, their club was in England's top league. In 1983, they also reached the final of the FA Cup, but eventually 0 :4 lost to Manchester United and they were relegated that season.

After relegation, the Brighton club has never been promoted to the top league in England. After entering the millennium, Brighton has been promoted three times in a row and promoted to the second tier league. But the season they were promoted to the second tier, they were quickly relegated.

Just relegated this season, that is, last season, they finished fourth in the third division and qualified for the promotion play-offs. In the second round of the play-offs, they defeated the Bristol City Club 1-0 and successfully promoted to the second tier of England.

This season, England's second-tier league has officially changed its name to the Championship, so they are newly promoted from the Championship.

The Brighton football team is really not strong. They are now ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the English Championship and are a relegation team.

However, it is precisely because of the entry of Kevin Blackwell that the team's recent results have been very good and they have barely escaped the relegation zone, but they still have not completely escaped the danger of relegation. The only task of the Leyton team is to fight for relegation.

Brighton is a famous lifter, such a team should be difficult to threaten Leeds United.

But the more it gets to this time, the harder it is for the relegation team to play, and the most important thing is that the head coach of Brighton is Kevin Blackwell.

Many people are full of confidence in Kevin Blackwell.

On February 22, 2005, on this very second day, Leeds United ushered in a challenge from Brighton at home.

A lot of people came to Leeds United's home court today. Leeds United fans waved the team's flags and scarves to cheer for the team, and their voices were extremely loud.

Amidst the cheers of the Leeds United fans, the game started.

At the beginning of the game, Leeds United still played according to their own tactics, defending and counterattacking!

Zhong Cheng stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, quietly watching the stadium. Zhong Cheng knew very well that in this game, Kevin Blackwell would definitely attack, because Kevin Blackwell wanted to prove himself.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the Brighton team launched a fierce attack like Leeds United.

Not to mention, Kevin Blackwell has really paid off in training the team. This Brighton team is already very different from the previous Brighton team. In terms of offense, they It is more structured, and of course it is more of a long pass.

And Kevin Blackwell's tactics are somewhat consistent with the previous tactics of Leeds United, that is, when they play, they move a lot, are very brutal, press very aggressively and quickly, and after stealing the ball, they usually directly kick Go forward and find the front center forward.

Then rely on the savage impact of the center, or make the ball, to complete the offense.

Many Leeds United fans in the stands are very familiar with this tactic, and it seems that they have seen the Leeds United team many years ago.

Of course, the strength of the Brighton team cannot be compared with that of Leeds United many years ago!

In the stands, Brighton fans who came from afar cheered for the Brighton team: "Seagulls, seagulls, soaring in the most beautiful sky! Seagulls, seagulls, victory is waving to us! Seagulls, go forward and welcome that day." The fiercest storm, embrace the most beautiful rainbow!" The Brighton team is located in Brighton & Hove, on the coast of southeast England, where the seagull is a typical representative. And there is a seagull on the emblem of the Brighton club, so "Seagull" is the nickname of the Brighton team.

Amid the cheers of the Brighton fans, Brighton's defensive midfielder Simon Roger directly kicked the ball to the front No. 9 center Gary Hart.

Gary Hart spotted the ball, jumped high, chested the ball, and brought the ball under control.

Vermaelen, who stretched out his hand, defended very tightly. Gary Hart squeezed back with his strong body, and then passed the football across, and the football rolled towards No. 7 striker Leon Knight who came up diagonally. .

Zhong Cheng still has some impressions of Leon Knight. This guy's career was not brilliant, and the brightest moment of his career was in the Brighton team. The reason why Zhong Cheng has some impressions of him is because this guy has played for 15 football clubs in his career, and his footprints have spanned five countries: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Greece.

He came from Chelsea's youth training, but he has been on loan all year round, and has not played any games for Chelsea's first team. After Russian rich man Abramovich took over Chelsea, he started the gold dollar offensive and introduced powerful players like him. There is no way out for the young players. Therefore, in the season that Abramovich entered Chelsea, he was loaned to Brighton and then bought out by Brighton.

Leon Knight is not tall, only 166cm, but he is very fast. He is a speed forward, and he happens to be partnered with Gary Hart, a big center, one tall and one fast.

Many teams in England now have this kind of striker configuration, and Brighton is no exception.

And Leon Knight used to be a member of England U19 and U20, and now he is only 22 years old, but Kevin Blackwell trusts him very much. Under the guidance of Kevin Blackwell, this guy has scored Scored 5 goals, and the efficiency is not bad.

Now Leon Knight rushed up, gently sent the football forward towards the ball, and slipped past Pique like a loach.

Single-handedly, Leon Knight faced Zhong Zheng single-handedly!

Fortunately, Zhong Zheng reacted quickly and attacked in time, blocking Leon Knight's shooting angle. Leon Knight took a strong kick and shot low, trying to get a crotch.

Although Zhong Zheng's figure is very tall, his ability to get off the ground is also very good, and his speed is very fast. Stretch your legs directly and block the football out of the bottom line!

The Brighton team's offense is eye-catching!

The Brighton fans who came from afar applauded enthusiastically and cheered wildly. They were going to give Leeds United a blow.

━━━Separation line━━━

In the audience of media reporters, Gary Arnoldsis kept applauding. Brighton did not let him down, and Kevin Blackwell did not let him down. If the goal hadn't been for the luck of the Leeds United, the goal would have been scored!

Gary Arnoldsis looked at Zhong Cheng's back and smiled contemptuously: "Crazy Loya, let's see how you die this time?"

If Zhong Cheng really lost to Kevin Blackwell in this game, then these media reporters and fans would have something to say after the game, all kinds of satire and humiliation, all kinds of abuse and ridicule, and more Belittling and ridicule will flock to Zhong Cheng.

And Zhong Cheng's notoriety of jealousy, arbitrariness, etc. will resound throughout the entire British continent.

And Kevin Blackwell will be promoted to the altar and become the sword of Damocles hanging above Zhong Cheng's head!

No wonder Gary Arnoldsis was very happy and excited at this time.

Kelly Fox, who was not far away, frowned slightly, and she was faintly worried about Zhong Cheng and Leeds United. At this moment, she really didn't want to see Leeds United in crisis again, and now they have reached the top of the league. It's time to shut down, and Leeds United can no longer have any crises.

"Loya, you must stand up! For Leeds United!" Kelly Fox prayed for Zhong Cheng and Leeds United in her heart.

━━━Separation line━━━

In the stands, a young oriental man frowned slightly, and his heart tightened.

To be honest, this is the first time he has appeared in the stands of a professional football game in England, and he has never been a football fan.

However, he is sitting in this stand today.

Moreover, his heart was also affected by this game at this time. I don't know when did he start to care about the situation of Leeds United?

He can't figure it out himself!

And beside this young oriental man, sat a fashionable blonde beauty. Even if she is sitting, it is difficult to conceal the beauty's proud figure and perfect figure. What's more, she is very temperamental, and she is a super beauty at first glance.

But at this time, this big beauty is wearing our rose-red Daha sunglasses, which almost cover half of her handsome face, so that people can't see what she looks like?

"How is it? Football games are much more interesting than your beloved photography!" The ethereal voice of the blond beauty sounded.

The young man from the east was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Each has its own merits, each has its own merits!"

━━━Separation line━━━

Corner, Brighton in the pitch won a corner!

Brighton's high center Gary Hart poured into Leeds United's restricted area, while Leon Knight turned around and walked out of the restricted area, ambush outside the restricted area. In this way, Leeds United had to send someone out to follow Leon Knight.

Brighton's tall central defenders Guy Butters and Adam Virgo both came to the Leeds United penalty area. Guy Butters is 34 years old, with a height of 191cm, and Adam Virgo is 22 years old, with a height of 188cm. Both of them are tall, and the old and the young are experienced and aggressive.

Adam Virgo was promoted by Kevin Blackwell, and he has secured the position of the team's main central defender.

At this time, Brighton's midfielder No. 10 Charlie Otway drove the football into the Leeds United penalty area with an arc. The defender was taken away, and Guy Butters in the center jumped high and smashed his head hard into the football.

"Guy Butters headed the goal!" BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson exclaimed immediately!

With a bang, the speed of the ball was very fast, just like a bolt of lightning.

The Brighton fans at the scene rubbed up one after another, leaned forward, stretched their necks, stared at the flying football with their eyes, and their hearts were filled with incomparable excitement.

With a snap, Zhong Zheng flew sideways, like a soaring Kunpeng covering the sky and covering the sun, holding the football out of the baseline with one palm.

"Beautiful! A beautiful save. Aldrich's saving action is extremely stretched. It looks like he is dancing. It's perfect!" Mark Lawrenson cheered excitedly.

The fans of Leeds United gave Zhong Zheng another thunderous applause, and now countless people are chanting his name.

The young oriental man sitting in the crowd nodded frequently and said: "Well, that Chinese gatekeeper is very good. I think if he goes to play basketball, he will definitely be a good guy!"

The blond beauty froze for a moment, staring at the young oriental man with dull eyes, then let out a snort, couldn't help laughing coquettishly, and suddenly there was a wave of waves rolling!
