After Leeds United's celebration, the game continued.
Just over ten minutes into the game, Leeds United had a one-goal lead.
This start is something that many people didn't expect.
In any case, Newcastle is also a Premier League team, and they have also passed the test to reach the final along the way, even a giant like Liverpool is not their opponent, how can they fall behind so quickly when facing Leeds United?
Everyone originally thought that this would be a fierce battle, Leeds United are in good form and morale is high after winning the league title, while Newcastle are experienced and strong, and how the two sides look at it, how to play a five-to-five game.
Unexpectedly, Leeds United's first shot on goal in this game, Lu Feng blasted away Newcastle's goal.
It was such a beautiful goal, and it was done in the best way of the opposition's core players, so it was a huge morale boost for Leeds United.
Newcastle were disrupted until the end of the first half, when they were pressed by Leeds United.
Newcastle players, including Callejon, have been playing a little bit abnormally.
Callejon's performance was not sluggish, he did languid for more than ten minutes, and then he regained his fighting spirit and had to compete with Lu Feng.
But this time he pushed too hard.
The more I want to express myself, the more I can't show it.
When the football reaches his feet, he will bury his head and belt until he can no longer take it, and then either force it directly or pass it out in a hurry. But either way, it doesn't work well.
None of them conceded another goal at the end of the first half, which only showed that Paul made the right choice.
After the team fell behind, Paul chose to play it safe and chose to let the team defend first and keep the score.
It is precisely because of this that after Newcastle's poor attack, Leeds United did not extend the lead of the score, and the gap between the two sides was only one goal.
Moreover, Leeds United is also more afraid of Newcastle's counterattack, so they did not press the attack in the big picture, after all, they are ahead, Newcastle is not in a hurry, they are in a hurry.
And just like that, the first half was over, with Leeds temporarily leading Newcastle 1-0 at home thanks to a 13th-minute goal from Land Breeze.
As they left, the television broadcast gave a close-up of Lu Feng and Callejon.
In the close-up, Callejon has a gloomy expression as a man walks briskly towards the passage with his head down.
Lu Feng was walking with Silva, and the two were talking and laughing.
This scene, falling in the eyes of the narrator, made them can't help but joke.
"The facial expressions and mood of Lu Feng and Callejon at the moment are just like the performance of the two teams in the first half.
Judging from the first half of the game, Lu Feng played better than Callejon, and Leeds United played better than Newcastle.
From the score, this can also be fully illustrated.
At the moment, it is Leeds United who are leading by one goal. ”
'Newcastle had a terrible first half, not at all like the Newcastle side that had knocked out Liverpool.
I have to say that in this game, Callejon's performance was really bad, which greatly affected the performance of the entire Newcastle.
If Callejon still performs like this in the second half, Newcastle manager Paul could consider replacing him.
This is an FA Cup final, not an ordinary league game, and the importance cannot be overstated. ”
......
The half-time break was nothing short of torture for Callejon. ^
Because head coach Pineapple criticized Callejon's performance in the first half.
"I don't understand what personal vendetta you have with Rong, Callejon.
I don't care about that either. I'm the manager of the team and I only care about the results of the team now.
We are a Premier League team and we are playing like this against a Championship team.
It's a big FA Cup final and we're here for the title and if someone doesn't want to win it, he can leave. ”
He sounded like he was asking everyone, but in fact his eyes were fixed on Callejon.
"In the second half, I don't want to see a football that doesn't get out when it gets to your feet. On the basis of the team winning, how you want to go head-to-head with Lu Feng, that's your business. But if the team can't win, then I'll replace you. I don't care if you're core or not. ”
Paul's words are hard to hear.
So Callejon's face was ugly.
To be honest, it was a surprise to him.
He didn't expect the head coach to simply blame himself for the team's passivity in the first half, as if the whole team was behind and it was his own responsibility.
If you lose, won't you have to bear the blame for this manager?
The more I thought about Callejon, the more unhappy I became.
At the same time, he also made up his mind in his heart that he would score goals in the second half no matter what, to equalize, and to let the manager see that it was not his problem that the team was behind, but he had the ability to save the team!
As for what the manager said later, he didn't listen to it at all.
......
At the start of the second half, Newcastle were finally back to normal – except for Callejon.
Callejon is still trying to get past all the Leeds United players in front of him.
He can do get past one or two, but it doesn't happen every time.
Sometimes, he couldn't even get over one.
The most serious thing is the shooting.
He is now particularly paranoid about cutting inside from the right and then shooting with the outside of his right foot.
Normally he would have passed the ball, but now when he shoots, he doesn't think about anything, he just wants to shoot, and he shoots this way.
He seems to have to prove in front of everyone that he is the real master of the arc shot with the outside of the right foot, this is his trick, there is no reason for the cottage to score, but he can't get in.
But so far, he really hasn't scored a goal!
The shot with the outside of the right foot is actually able to score because of a certain suddenness.
Normally, when he cuts inside with the ball, the goalkeeper will focus on the near corner. At this time, he suddenly got up and shot at the goal, and the ball went to the far corner, and the goalkeeper was often caught off guard, and it was too far away from the far corner, which also caused them to be unable to prevent it.
But now Callejon is going to fight in this way, so it's too easy to defend.
While Callejon was competing with the Leeds United players, Lu Feng was on the other side of the pitch, opening up his own pathway.
He combines his speed and technique very well, and Newcastle's defenders are also very embarrassed when facing the breakthrough of the Land Breeze.
While Callejon was still obsessed with simply wanting to score, Lu Feng had already put the entire Newcastle backline in a mess.
......
Seventeen minutes into the second half, Lu Feng broke through the inside cut again on the right flank.
This time, all fears were on him to shoot with the outside of his right foot, with the Newcastle goalkeeper moving slightly into the back corner to pounce on the Land Breeze in the same way that Reyna had saved Callejon.
All of them shot in the back corner of the anti-land wind.
At this time, Lu Feng's advantage of mastering a scoring skill is reflected.
As he was running, he suddenly flicked the ball outward with the outside of his right foot. The ball rolled into the box from the ribs between the Newcastle centre-backs and left-backs.
At the same time, Lu Feng stopped and changed direction, cut inward sharply, and squeezed in through this gap with the football!
"Lu Feng has rushed into the forbidden area!"
The British commentator suddenly became excited, and he once again saw Lu Feng's sharp breakthrough.
On the sidelines, Newcastle manager Paul's eyes widened suddenly.
Through this half-more game, he has fully realized what kind of strength Lu Feng is. The strength that Lu Feng actually showed was far more powerful than the data.
No, maybe it's because the speed at which Land Breeze is growing faster than the speed at which the data is being updated.
Although I don't want to admit it, but the performance on the field will not deceive people, and fools can see that Lu Feng's performance is better than Callejon's, and Lu Feng's way of playing football takes into account both pleasing the audience and practicality.
Now seeing Lu Feng burst into the forbidden area, he couldn't help but get nervous again.
Is this kid still going to score? No way...
He guessed right.
Lu Feng, who had just changed direction and entered the penalty area, did not continue to dribble the ball and give the Newcastle defenders the opportunity to compress their shooting angles, but quickly picked up his right foot and shot!
The ball rolled against the turf to the near corner.
The Newcastle goalkeeper, who had moved to the back corner early, suffered at this time, and it was too late to pounce, and the ball rolled into the goal before his hand arrived!
"Land Breeze scored twice! What a beautiful goal! ”
Wang Kai shouted unwillingly.
Chinese journalists in the media table also jumped up, raising their arms and chanting.
Lu Feng scored twice, basically announcing the tone of this game.
With a two-goal lead, Leeds are close to touching the FA Cup trophy.
With the current situation on the pitch, it will be too difficult for Newcastle to pull two goals back and keep Leeds from scoring.
Everyone can see that Lu Feng is in very good shape in this game, and once Leeds United plays a defensive counterattack, according to Lu Feng's state, it is very normal to score again.
For a while, the Newcastle fans in the stands fell into deep worry.
......
After the goal, Lu Feng waved his arm past the Newcastle players before being stopped by team-mate Silva and the two sides rolled to the ground in a huddle.
Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, at the moment, was overshadowed by the cheers of Leeds United fans.
The boos from some sporadic Newcastle fans were easily drowned out in cheers, and there was no wave at all.
Against the backdrop of the revelry Leeds United fans, Callejon stood on the pitch, his eyes narrowed slightly, panting heavily.
He looked at the land breeze in the distance.
I can't figure out why, Lu Feng, this kid is so powerful. Why?
He was once known as a genius boy, but recently, the entire British media has been overwhelmingly promoting Lu Feng's genius.
This made him, who used to be the darling of the media, very unhappy.
In his opinion, doing well in the lower leagues like the Championship doesn't prove anything.
As for FA Cup matches, there are more surprises.
He didn't believe that Lu Feng's strength was mostly touted by the media.
And before the game, criticizing the opponent can easily make such a young player impetuous, and then play poorly.
But he never thought that Lu Feng was really so strong, it seemed, even stronger than him?
What the fuck, how is that possible?
......
The Newcastle manager sighed as Leeds United fans cheered.
He had to admit that Callejon's performance in this match was a disaster.
Moreover, against Leeds United, Newcastle's players seemed to lack fighting spirit and were a little underweight, which led to such a result.
However, although she was two goals behind, Pineapple still didn't want to admit defeat.
He's going to make adjustments.
Just two goals down, Newcastle still have a chance!
We can even beat a Premier League giant like Liverpool, there is no reason why we will lose to a Championship team in the final!
So he wanted to be replaced.
.......
When the game resumed, just a minute later, the ball went out of bounds and the fourth official held up a substitution sign on the sidelines.
No. 10 Callejon is replaced!
Callejon seemed to have been prepared for a long time, so when he saw this substitution, he didn't say a word, and he didn't make any incredible movements or expressions.
Just keep your head down and walk off the field.
That doesn't mean he accepts the result with peace of mind.
From the face he occasionally raised, you could still tell that he was unhappy.
'Callejon was substituted, it was the right decision. Because he didn't play a central role on the pitch at all. In the duel with Rong, he was also defeated! ”
'There were no dangerous breaks, no dangerous passes, just a dangerous shot.
That's the list of achievements that Callejon has delivered in his 65 minutes on the field. It's normal for such results to be replaced early. ”
"For Callejon, this game is simply a shame for him. Before the game, he was arrogant and said that Lu Feng should be more restrained and low-key.
But in the game, he was completely blown up by Lu Feng! I guess he should know who should be more restrained and low-key by now, right? ”
When the commentators saw Callejon fall, they also mocked him mercilessly.
This is so realistic with normal, on the football field, winning and losing.
If it was Callejon who scored two goals, then now the media is touting him, not Lu Feng.
......
When Callejon was substituted, Newcastle were much more normal and had an attack that could threaten the goal of Reina.
After the substitutions, Newcastle launched a ferocious attack against Leeds United, and although they did not score, they came close to scoring.
Seeing the team return to positive performances, Newcastle fans regained confidence and were full of anticipation for Newcastle to equalise.
At the same time, they also broke out into loud cheers to cheer for the team they supported.
Newcastle's comeback was so strong that Leeds United were a little tired and worried that they would be scored.
So when it was Leeds' turn to attack, their attack was far less threatening than Newcastle's. They seemed a little fearless and didn't dare to step forward.
Now that Leeds are ahead, there is no need for them to take such a big risk to attack, in case they are counterattacked, it will be more than worth the loss.
