0052 Speed up
'The goal went in, it was Diouf from Bolton Wanderers, and the Senegalese got on the end of a pass from Kevin Davies, saw it unguarded, and scored. Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor said:
"Kevin Davis played a key role in this conceded goal, and the steals, the catches, the confrontations, and the passes were all impeccable." Ian Darker added.
"Now in this battle for five, Bolton has the upper hand."
"Next, we'll see how George Lee responds to Leeds United."
The broadcast camera was given to George Lee on the sidelines, who was gesturing, two fingers constantly swinging forward.
Then the camera showed Edgar Davis on the field, and the Dutchman in sunglasses nodded, then gave a thumbs up.
George Lee now has to hand over the task of controlling the pace of the game to Davis. Because Gavison was not there, Davis had to ask for a little quicker.
Bolton's team is known as the "Premier League retirement home", and most of the players in the team are veterans over 30 years old, and George Lee wants to take advantage of this to speed up the pace a little bit to increase the physical consumption of the Bolton team.
At the beginning, the two sides were still in the tentative stage, George Li let the team control the rhythm, and now he is lagging behind, so he can only use the planned routine.
Sure enough, as soon as the game started again, Leeds United picked up the tempo.
In the front field, he continued to press Bolton's back and central defenders, making Bolton's backfield a little tired to deal with, especially Hierro, as the former captain of the Spanish national team and Real Madrid, tall, running actively, tackling fiercely, excellent headers, in addition to defense, the most valuable thing is that he has a good sense of attack, when the two armies are deadlocked, he often suddenly plugs in, surprisingly winning.
But today Hierro couldn't do it, there was no chance to get forward at all, and Van Persie and Smith kept showing up in his receiving route, making him uncomfortable receiving the ball. Once the ball is received, De Jong and Davies on the side will always come up as soon as possible and press him.
Hierro was uncomfortable, when the game was more than 30 minutes into the game, he was already gasping for breath, and the physical exertion was too great, because of Ivan Campo's injury, Hierro had to be pushed to the back position.
Finally, in the 37th minute, Leeds United responded to Bolton Wanderers with the way Bolton had just scored.
Hierro received a pass from Rad Jaydi, and this pass was easy because Van Persie did not block the pass between Jaidi and Hierro.
But Hierro was careless after receiving the ball, and didn't notice that Van Persie was chasing after him, but just saw Davies in front of him, and then knocked Van Persie from behind, and Hierro, who was already physically exhausted, stumbled and wanted to protect the ball.
It was found that Davis had already stretched his foot over, and the two touched their feet, and the ball rolled to the other side.
Leeds United's Smith grabbed the ball from Jennerkopoulos and played a pass to Glen Charles on the wing, who got the ball and began to move into the middle, with Bolton's left wing-back Tal Benhaim following Glenschal down the middle, leaving the wing empty.
Glen Schal took two steps before Benhaim followed, and the ball stopped and went to the left.
Bynes plugged in, and it was decisive.
There was no one around Baines, and he took the ball all the way into the box before Ben Haim gave up on Glen Schal to make up for it.
Baines made a pass feint with his left foot, tricking Benhaim into blocking the ball with his hands behind his back.
Then he went down with his right foot, and Benhaim followed with an acceleration to catch up.
Just as he was about to reach the baseline, Baines raised his left foot again to cross, but Ben Haim had no choice but to go down to the ground to tackle.
Who knew it was still a feint, Bynes didn't get up, but stepped on the football with his left foot on the baseline, and the man went out of the baseline, and Ben Haim also slid out of the baseline. The difference is that Baines is standing on the bottom line, Benhaim is falling to the ground and sliding out, and Baines must be faster than Benhaim when he turns around.
Baines touched the ball with his left foot and then passed an inverted triangle ball with his right foot towards the penalty spot.
Smith ran to the ball in front of Hierro and opted to hit the goal with his left foot.
The ball was powerful and flew towards the goal.
Jascolainen touched his hand and changed the direction of the ball a little. But the team was so strong that Jascolenen had little effect and couldn't stop the ball from flying into the goal.
1 to 1.
Leeds equalised in the final minutes of the first half.
After the goal, Smith raced to the corner and celebrated with the Leeds United fans who arrived around the corner of the pitch.
The camera also showed Leeds United fans.
Commentator Martin Taylor also showed off his wealth of knowledge.
"The camera showed the Leeds United fans and we saw that the Leeds fans here were very excited after the equaliser. The two young men we see in the camera are the two adopted sons of the Leeds United manager, Carl Olsen and Sean Wallace, both of whom play in Leeds United's youth team, and I have seen them perform before, and they are both very talented players. However, none of them can be selected for the England youth team because one of them is Norwegian and the other is Scotland. ”
"That's a shame." Ian Darker obviously didn't know Wallace and them, so he could only sing and cheer.
And then Martin Taylor is not over yet, and continues to introduce to the audience.
"It's even more a pity that Coach Lee's biological son, whose nationality is Dutch, cannot play for England. They are now joined by Charlotte Black of Leeds United's youth team, a young player with great potential, having previously played for Cardiff's youth team. ”
"Where did you hear all this?" Ian Darker asks Martin Taylor.
"There was a report before, that is, what are the underage talents in the various clubs in the Premier League, and several of them are among them. Maybe in a few years, Leeds will have a few talented players like Wayne Rooney. ”
"Then look at Leeds United, the Young Guard, and the future is promising."
"The young woman who was talking to them next to her seemed to know them well, maybe their girlfriend or something."
Helen and Wendy appear on the broadcast screen along with Wallace.
Fortunately, George Li was on the sidelines, and he couldn't hear what these two commentators said, otherwise Li would definitely scold them severely.
If you don't know how to explain, don't talk nonsense.
Back in the game, after Alan Smith celebrated, Bolton kicked off for side.
Now the score is 1-1 draw, and if such a score is maintained until the end, Leeds United will still finish fifth in the league on goal difference, which is what Bolton does not want to see.
Bolton's manager Sam Allardyce was in a hurry, and he wanted to control the pace of the game, drag the game until half-time, and then rearrange it in the dressing room, because at this pace, Bolton will definitely not win.
But George Lee clearly didn't want to give Allardyce that chance, so he shouted Davies again, and then two fingers forward, continuing to get Leeds to pick up the pace.
Take advantage of your illness and kill you.
Leeds United didn't give Bolton a breather at all, and a few people up front stared at Bolton's back to the back of the siege, especially Glen Shire.
Glen Schal had been informed by the head coach before the game that he would not play the whole game and that he would be substituted in the second half. So Glen Charles ran desperately, constantly pressing Bolton's Benhaim and Ngotty, including Hierro.
A couple of Bolton defenders could only kick the ball up front to ease Leeds' high press.
However, Bolton's forward Kevin Davies is indeed not an advantage in height, although Kevin Davies is physically strong and good at grabbing points, but he still suffers in the process of competing with Albucheson.
Grabbing points in front of the goal is more about running position and jumping timing, but in the face of the long pass from the back of the side that is not of high quality, Davis is beyond the whip.
In the final stage of the game, the fourth official raised his card and made three minutes of stoppage time.
Albchesten got ahead of Davis, got the ball on the top and gave it to Mathieson.
As soon as Mathieson got the ball, Bolton's men began to retreat, and no one cared about Mathieson.
Mattieson took the ball to midfield and it wasn't until just over the halfway line that Bolton's Gary Speed came up to grab it.
Mattieson then sent a perfect through ball from several men behind the Bolton defence on the left.
Glen Schal appeared behind the Bolton defence, and Ben Haim, who was not performing well today, completely missed Glen Char, and Glen Charles stopped and went straight to the Bolton penalty area.
On the edge of the penalty area, Bolton centre-back Bruno Ngotty, who was being chased back, took down a tactical foul.
Referee Barry chased him all the way with a red card, obviously for Ngoti, who committed a foul.
"Penalty! Penalty kick! George Lee kept shouting from the sidelines after seeing Ngotti foul.
Sam Allardyce ran to the fourth officer, telling him that the foul was on the outside of the box.
The foul was seen by all, as Ngoti was a knock-down Glen Charles with an outstretched leg from behind. It's just up to the referee to decide whether it's in the penalty area or not.
However, the referee came directly with a red card, and generally such a penalty is basically a set-piece outside the penalty area. Because in the penalty area, it is usually a yellow card and a penalty.
Sure enough, the referee decided it was a free kick on the line of the penalty area.
N'Gotty continued to grind down the pitch, trying to delay as long as possible and try to go into the break after Leeds United's set-piece.
At the urging of the referee and Lee, Ngoti finally walked off the field.
When Ngotty walked to the sidelines, George Lee had already appeared on the side of the fourth official to complain, and now Leeds United had the advantage in the situation, George Lee obviously entered the break with a lead, and Ngotti's friction must have made Lee dissatisfied.
"Can you hurry up, the children are all gone." Lee George shouted towards the Bolton bench.
"Coach Li, please go back to your own area." The fourth officer drove Lee back.
As George Lee walked back, the Bolton fans at Reebok Stadium began to boo.
I don't know if this boo is for George Lee or for Van Persie, who is laying out the football.
Because Pederson and Hart were not on the pitch, the ball was taken by Van Persie.
Previously, Van Persie asked Baines if he needed to give him a penalty, and Byrne said that he wanted to stay at the back to prevent Bolton from counter-attacking, so Van Persie took the penalty.
Van Persie's set-piece was of considerable quality in the end, bypassing the wall. It's a pity that it hit the outside of the column and flew out of the bottom line.
Leeds United and Bolton eventually went into the break with a 1-1 scoreline.
Leeds United had the upper hand as the draw remained until the end and it was they who were leading the table. At the same time, they will play with one more man in the second half.
