Chapter 415: You Must Go Again!
Eto'o covered his face with his hands, wiped the sweat on the back of his head, and shook it hard, exhaling heavily. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I turned my head and looked at the time on the scoreboard, and it was already seventy minutes.
Damn, he hasn't scored yet!
At 4-0, Chelsea have the upper hand at home, but he seems to be getting further and further away from the goal.
It's not that the manager and his team-mates don't support him, on the contrary, everyone is doing everything they can to help him, and even missed at least two very good chances to score for it, but he always has a chance to score.
Leeds United's performance this season has not been ideal, interim manager Eddie Gray took over in November last year, but he has not been able to stop the team's decline, having already booked a relegation place in advance, and the team is also like a plate of scattered sand, lacking in fighting power.
But in this game, in order to be able to limit Chelsea's attack, Eddie Gray even did not hesitate to arrange a 541 formation and arranged three defenders in front of the defensive line, which caused considerable trouble for Chelsea's attacking players.
Samuel Eto'o bore the brunt of the problem.
As the game time went by, the Cameroonian striker became more and more agitated.
After a hurried kick-up shot that missed the ball, he took advantage of the dead ball time to retreat, walked to the sidelines, asked the team staff for a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and poured it directly on top of his bare head.
He wanted to be a little more sober.
"The most important thing for you now is to stay calm, Samuel. Head coach Gao Han walked over and reminded.
Eto'o wiped the water from his face and lowered his head and spat out, "I understand. ”
But his appearance didn't look like he understood at all, but a bit like he wanted to go all the way to the dark.
"The opponent has laid heavy troops in the big penalty area, and the defense is very tight, you can withdraw. ”
When Eto'o heard this, he jerked his head up and looked at the manager in disbelief, "Withdraw...... Withdraw?"
Since the start of this game, he has been very far up front, a bit like a double striker with Ibrahimovic, and even more advanced than Ibrahimovic in many cases.
The purpose of this is to make it easier for him to score.
Including stoppage time, there are only about 20 minutes left, and when you withdraw at this time, how can you score?
But Gao Han's attitude was very resolute, "Believe me, Samuel, you withdraw and let Zlatan take the front." ”
Eto'o looked at Gao Han deeply for a long time, and finally nodded, "I understand. ”
He still believes in his manager.
If it weren't for Gao Han, he wouldn't have been able to perform so well this season, so he believes in Gao Han and believes unconditionally.
"Go, Samuel, you can do it. Gao Han gave Eto'o a heavy tap on the shoulder and sent him back to the pitch.
…………
…………
By the time the game resumed, Eto'o had dropped back a bit, as Gao Han had arranged.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was up front, while Ronaldinho was still roaming the left and centre, but he was positioned a little further back than the two strikers, playing to his strengths in possession, possession and passing.
The whole attack on the right flank was handed over to the youngster Glen Johnson, the England right-back is fast and has a strong attacking ability, but the defense is weaker, but playing Leeds United is the main attack, so he comes in handy and performs well.
Chelsea's strong attacking prowess and excellent midfield passing control still kept the tempo and situation firmly in control of the pitch.
Gao Han glanced at the court, knew everything well, and immediately entered the coaching system.
"Start with a five-star attacking card, target: Samuel Eto'o. ”
"Start with a five-star assault card, target: Ronaldinho. ”
"Successfully activated the combo card effect, and it improved by leaps and bounds. ”
"Start using a five-star confrontation card, target: Ibrahimovic. ”
"Start using a five-star defensive card, target: Veron. ”
"Successfully activated the combo card effect, Iron Wall Steel Wall. ”
But after the arrangement was completed, Gao Han hesitated again, thought about it, and decided to adjust it.
Glenn Johnson fought for more than an hour and his energy was almost exhausted, and Gao Han decided to replace him with Robben, shifting the role of the assault card to Ronaldo himself on the right flank, while using two pass cards and assist cards that have been upgraded to four stars this season, targeting Deco and Ronaldinho respectively.
The two four-star skill cards immediately form the effect of a combo card that is worthy of the ball.
After that, Gao Han quit the coaching system and returned to the court.
"Fight hard, whether you succeed or not depends on your own creation!"
…………
…………
Eddie Gray was shocked.
He could not have imagined that Chelsea, with a 4-0 lead, would intensify their attack even more after 70 minutes, and that the Chelsea players would also show a wolf-like desire to attack.
Such a team, such a player, is terrible!
On the other hand, Leeds United, which he coaches......
Eddie Gray let out a long sigh of helplessness, the hearts of the people were scattered, and the team was not easy to lead.
As a former legend of Leeds United, Eddie Gray has always coached the youth team, producing many young players for the team, including Harry Colwill, but this season he has been called in charge of the first team, but he still can't change the nightmare of relegation.
It will be his last game in charge of Leeds United and he may not even get the chance again, so he hopes he can walk a little more decently.
Unexpectedly, I met such a Chelsea team.
On the pitch, Leeds United was forced to defend to the death, and even ten players in the whole team had retreated to the vicinity of the penalty area, leaving only striker Viduka in front of him to support and cruise, but even so, it was still forced to be very embarrassed and full of flaws.
Turning his head sideways and glancing at Gao Han in front of the home team's coach's box, Eddie Gray had a complicated expression.
This is a man who aspires to build his own football dynasty in the Premier League!
The last person to give him this feeling was Alex Ferguson, both of whom were full of desire to win and were deeply influencing the team, the difference is that Ferguson's Premier League start was not ideal, but the cold was very smooth.
"The Premier League has really changed!" muttered Eddie Gray, 56.
No one could tell if he was talking about the cold, or the Premier League, or Leeds United.
…………
…………
With the continuous adjustment of the high cold, Chelsea's attack was once again unleashed.
Especially when I felt that the game was approaching, every player gave their best and did their best.
Robben was a new force and was very active after coming on the pitch under the effect of the five-star assault card, and he staged a wonderful scene of connecting two people with the ball for the first time, winning the applause of the Stamford Bridge stadium.
After that, the Dutchman's performances became sharper and sharper, and gradually attracted the attention of Leeds United defenders.
Clearly, they realized the difference between Robben and Glenn Johnson.
The latter is more of a bottom cross, but Robben is the more threatening insider.
Every time the Dutchman gets the ball down the right, he is able to draw Leeds United's defensive centre of gravity.
But Leeds are not a fuel-efficient lamp, as soon as Robben gets the ball, Alan Smith and James Milner immediately pounce on him and form a joint defensive momentum.
Robben broke through the inside cut and immediately crossed to Veron.
Veron then passed to Deco next to him, and Deco didn't think twice and sent the ball directly to Ronaldinho's feet.
The Brazil international didn't wait for the defender to get closer, and slammed his right foot into the ball.
The ball seemed to be full of spirit, penetrating through the narrow gap between the two defenders and going straight to the top of the arc of the penalty area, and it was just right in terms of strength and position.
Samuel Eto'o grabbed the ball with his right foot before the defender cleared the ball, allowing Ronaldinho's pass to turn in the opposite direction, avoiding the defender, and then moving with his left foot to the middle, shaking past the defender, and the whole person sped up to catch up.
The Cameroonian player started very quickly, and as soon as he moved, he immediately left the defenders behind.
After catching up with the ball, although the person was still on the periphery of the penalty area, he was already facing the goal directly.
Samuel Eto'o looked up, his eyes fixed on the small penalty area.
Leeds United goalkeeper is 18-year-old Scott Carson, who is young, inexperienced, and stands slightly outside to the left.
As a goalscorer with more than 30 goals in a single season, Samuel Eto'o knows exactly what that means.
"The more critical the moment, the more you have to calm yourself down!" Gao Han's reminder is still in his ears.
At this moment, Eto'o was surprisingly calm, staring at Carson with both eyes, but his feet skillfully adjusted, standing with his right foot, picking up his left foot, and directly volleying hard.
The ball was like a cannonball coming out of its disembowel, and after cutting through an arc with lightning speed, it crashed directly into the upper right corner of the goal.
The whole process did not have the slightest dragging mud and water, without the slightest hesitation, it happened in an instant, and no one had the slightest chance to react.
By the time everyone, even Leeds goalkeeper Carson reacted, the ball had already hit the back of the net!
It wasn't until that crisp whistle that everyone in the stadium woke up.
In an instant, cheers thundered.
Eto'o couldn't contain his excitement and let out a loud roar, turning and running out.
It's a goal!
Finally a goal!!!
Behind him, the Chelsea players pounced on him one by one.
It was thanks to their contribution that even Ibrahimovic opened up the defender for him, otherwise Eto'o would not have been able to get an easy chance to get his feet.
Everyone caught up with the Cameroonian striker on the sidelines, and the group surrounded him in the middle.
Eto'o was so excited that he fell to his knees, lifted Ronaldinho's right foot, bent his head and kissed the boots on the skew.
The whole stadium at Stamford Bridge was in revelry, as if Samuel Eto'o's goal had made them even more happy and ecstatic than the 5-0 victory.
In the midst of this jubilation, Sergio Garcia in the coach's seat suddenly came out, leaned into Gao Han's ear and muttered a few words, Gao Han's face changed after hearing this, and he scolded indignantly, "I'm going to it!"
It turned out that in the Highbury Stadium in the north, Henry had scored.
And, even a penalty!
If it was a dignified goal, then Gao Han couldn't say more, but it was a penalty!
But the fire was on fire, Gao Han quickly suppressed the anger in his heart, turned and walked to the place where the players were celebrating, let them all gather around, and then looked deeply at Eto'o.
"Samuel, you have to score another goal!"
