0032 Fierce battle against the Blues

'Welcome to Sky TV's 12th round of the Premier League, when Chelsea host Leeds United. Hi everyone, I'm Martin Taylor."

"Hi, I'm Ian Dark."

'The first kick-off was Chelsea, who were playing at home in the blue shirt, attacking from left to right. Today they started with Cech, Barbaroa, Terry, Carvalho, Ferreira, Makelele, Thiago...... Oh, and it was a foul in midfield on Leeds United, Leeds United's number 19, and a foul on Frank Lampard, who started today, knocked down Chelsea's number eight Frank Lampard in the back. 'Martin Taylor was halfway through the introduction of the Chelsea players and began to explain the game on the pitch.

'We continue to introduce Chelsea's starting XI, with Claude Makelele, Thiago and Frank Lampard in midfield and Arjen Robben, Duff and Gudjohnsen up front.

"Let's talk about Leeds United, the starting goalkeeper is Robinson, the back four from left to right are Baines, Mathieson, Albucheson and Kelly, the midfield three are different from the past, they are Gravison, Barker and Smith, and the front is Davies, Romerdal and Robin van Persie.

After listening to Taylor's introduction, Duck immediately took it.

'Leeds squad today is very different from what we used to and not what we expected. Davies came on the left and did not play the same midfield he had been playing in the past, while Mills, who had been playing at right wing-back, did not play today and was replaced by Kelly. ”

The director was also very cooperative, and gave the camera to Danny Mills who was in the stands with the team.

Mills, with gauze wrapped around his head, watched the game there in a strange look.

"Uh, I think I have a head injury." Duck said.

"And the left flank also sent the young Baines ......"

Darker was in the middle of his sentence when he was immediately interrupted by Taylor.

"Graveson, grab Tiago's ball and fight back."

"Romedal takes the ball, picks up, wants to pass...... Pulled down. ”

"It was Makelele who committed the foul, and Makelele's supplemental defense, in order to prevent Romedahl from raising this speed, could only use foul tactics. Romedahl is still very fast. Taylor said.

"Yes, once Romerdal is up at this speed, he can't pull it." Darker said.

"It's a pity today. The Danish winger who played for Chelsea last season, Glen Schal, was unable to play due to injury, otherwise this game would have been very meaningful. Taylor said.

"Yes, the two Danes have played very well this season as the two wings of Leeds United...... Van Persie took the ball, Smith brought a cross two steps later, to Van Persie, and Van Persie hit the goal...... It was blocked by Terry and Cech was able to get it. Duck commented that Leeds were halfway through the line-up change, and Leeds immediately launched a dangerous attack here on the pitch.

'The two Danish wingers have been in excellent form for Leeds this season, and together with Dutch striker Robin van Persie, who also brought in this summer, and Smith, who has dropped back this season, the four have been responsible for most of Leeds' goals...... Ferreira's long pass found Gudjohnsen directly and the header of Albuchesen was headed over to Frank Lampard in the back...... Frank Lampard passed to Robben, who had been plugged in on the wing, and Robben was quick to ...... Over Kelly, over ...... Robben fell, was there a foul ......"

On the field, Robben used a change of pace after taking the ball on the left side, deceived Kelly's center of gravity, and was about to pass Kelly into the penalty area, and was tackled by Kelly, the ball came out of the bottom line, and Robben fell to the ground.

Corner kick.

Arjen Robben went down in the box, but referee Rillly did not award a penalty to Chelsea, but instead awarded a corner.

Arjen Robben was complaining on the ground, while Chelsea captain John Terry was on his way from the back to the front, talking to the referee.

The referee insisted on blowing for a corner.

A Chelsea corner is taken and the ball is confiscated by Robinson.

Robinson threw the ball directly with a strong hand and threw the ball out.

Baines picked up the ball on the left and went through a one-two with Graveson to head into the Chelsea half. As soon as he stepped into the Chelsea half, he knocked someone from behind and rolled on the ground twice.

"du~" the referee blew the whistle.

It was another foul by Makellele, and referee Riley ran over and kept warning Makellele.

In just a few minutes of the opening game, there were two fouls, and Riley kept saying that he should make a small move, and next time he would have to draw his cards.

For the next ten minutes, the two sides went back and forth, constantly fighting in the midfield.

There are almost no good offensive opportunities, the two sides are basically grabbing, after grabbing the ball, it is a counterattack, and then the other side is a counter-robbery, and if the anti-robbery is not good, it is a foul.

In the opening 20 minutes, referee Riley had already shown four yellow cards, two for each side. On Chelsea's side, it was Claude Makelele and Frank Lampard, who received a yellow card after a foul after being cautioned in the opening period, albeit with some restraint.

Leeds United here is Buck and Mathieson, after Buck came on the field today, he stood parallel to Graveson when defending, playing a double-back configuration, and when attacking, he stood a little ahead of Graveson, and the backfield of the main team still relied on Graveson. Buck was mainly a cushion in front of Graveson when dealing with Chelsea's counter-attack, and the previous yellow card was when he brought Robben down early after being broken by Robben and seeing that Robben was about to face Graveson directly. Because he compared to Gavison, it was good that he received a yellow card, and if Gavison ate it, then in the next few dozen minutes, Gavison's defense may not be able to let go.

Although the two sides on the field are in full swing, the two coaches off the field are not the same.

Jose Mourinho kept yelling, making his team attack, defending, and sometimes dancing and jumping up and down.

George Lee doesn't have that much reaction here, there are some temporary tactical arrangements, he will call out a player's name, and then when he sees the player looking back at him, he will make a gesture, and finally after the player understands, he will give a thumbs up or nod.

The game lasted 34 minutes.

Leeds had a chance here when Chelsea's right-back Pacos Ferreira dribbled the ball at the back and played a pass to Thiago only to be cut off by Davies.

Davies took the ball and played a through ball to Van Persie, who appeared behind Terry, and Van Persie took a step before making a left-footed gesture to shoot, but Cech fell to the ground on one side.

But I didn't expect Van Persie to be a feint, and with a buckle of his left foot, he buckled past Cech.

Then he pushed the empty net into the net.

1 to 0.

Van Persie excitedly ran to the corner flag to celebrate, and turned to greet his teammates.

His teammates came to a halt halfway through the run and looked behind Van Persie.

Van Persie turned around and saw the linesman holding his flag to signal that the goal had been offside.

Mourinho, who had been jumping on the sidelines, also applauded excitedly after seeing the goal canceled.

George Li had just hugged Casper, and after hugging and seeing the goal canceled, he pushed Casper away.

"Both coaches gave us a show of what it means to change faces." Sky TV's live commentator Duck said.

'Yes, it was Van Persie's second shot in the first half, but unfortunately it was offside. Dark's partner Taylor said.

"There aren't really any good chances on either side, it's all about defense."

'Yes, here at Chelsea, we can't see the first two mercury attacks. On Leeds United's side, the frontcourt pressing they have been insisting on this season is not too fierce, and the number and intensity of the pressure are different from before. ”

"Both sides are afraid of the counterattack on the other side, because the counterattack on both sides is very sharp."

'Yes, if we look at the possession ratio, Leeds are 55 per cent here, 10 per cent higher than Chelsea's 45.

'These were mostly passes between Graveson and the two centre-backs.

"Yes, because Leeds know that he is the one who grabs up front, so when attacking in the position, we will add some transmission at the back to allow the front court to rest properly, or let the front court run out of space."

'The two Leeds full-backs were also very little involved today and as soon as the ball got to midfield, Chelsea started to scramble here.

"Both sides were fierce in midfield...... Frank Lampard ...... ...... long-range shot" Taylor shouted as soon as he saw Lampard picking up the ball outside the box.

Unfortunately, Lampard hit the ball high.

It was also the last shot of the first half for both sides, and for almost 10 minutes there was no shot on goal for either side.

Leeds are here at the back, and Chelsea don't take it, but once the ball is in midfield, Chelsea start to press harder.

Here, Chelsea, on the defensive foot, then look for opportunities to counter-attack. But Leeds United invested a lot of force in their own half of the defence today, so Chelsea's counter-attack was also thunderous and rainy.

In the final minute of first-half stoppage time, Gudjohnsen won the ball on Chelsea's counter-attack and pushed it back to Frank Lampard, and Leeds did not dare to give Lampard a chance to shoot with his feet up.

Buck seized the moment to block it, but was deceived by Frank Lampard's feint shot, and Lampard saw Buck stretch his leg and buckled.

Frank Lampard got past Buck and put his leg on Buck's foot before falling to the ground.

“du~”

"Fake fall, he fake fall." Buck was the first to defend himself.

The referee shows Buck a yellow card.

Two yellows turned into one red, and Barker was sent off late in the first half.

"Referee, he faked a fall, he fell to the ground by himself." Today, Leeds United captain Kelly stepped forward to argue with the referee.

The rest of the Leeds players gathered around and two people approached Frank Lampard on the ground.

"You liar, you fake fall, you go and talk to the referee yourself." Van Persie stared at Frank Lampard.

Lampard ignored him and straightened his socks on the ground.

"You wait for me." Smith looked at Lampard viciously.

The referee did not change the decision, but insisted that Barker be sent off the field.

Frank Lampard put the ball in position and prepared himself to take the set-piece.

Frank Lampard may have been weak on his own, smashing the ball into the stands behind the Leeds United goal with an anti-aircraft cannon.

Then the referee blew the whistle for half-time.
