"Damn!"

Seeing that the referee blew to stop the game, George Li was angry and kept jumping on the sidelines.

If the referee hadn't blown this foul, Davis would have slashed directly at the goalkeeper.

'Kevin Davies is really the most defensive striker in the Premier League, and that's what I admire, and I saw it in the Bolton Wanderers game last season. Lee George said to his assistant coach, Brian Kidd.

"In fact, spending 2 million is still a benefit, at least our defenders will not be injured, and they can also let the opponent's defenders go off." Kidd pointed to the field.

Mate'o limped two steps before falling to the ground.

The team doctor began to enter, Matteo was often injured before, with countless major and minor injuries on his body, and when he collided just now, he should have been injured again.

After Matteo went off, the game continued, with Blackburn Rovers dropping a midfielder to the back line, and Blackburn were now basically just beaten.

But football is such a magical game, although Leeds United are pressing Blackburn Rovers to play, but it is Blackburn Rovers who score first.

In the 18th minute, Blackburn Rovers won a set-piece in front of the Leeds United penalty area.

It was Blackburn's full-back Andy Todd who took the set-piece, and although the set-piece was not very well positioned, there was still an angle from which it could be hit directly. Leeds United also pays more attention to the defense of this ball, Van der Sar, who has just arrived in the team, keeps directing the team's players to line up the human wall, and there are 5 players in the human wall, and even Kevin Davies is lined up in the human wall, leaving Van Persie alone in the front court to prepare for the attack.

But it was this well-prepared defense and a large number of people who went wrong, and Andy Todd was not known for his footwork in the first place, and his free-kick hit Alan Smith in the wall and deflected off the head.

Van der Sar was moving to the right and suddenly the ball was going to the left, and it was going to the top left corner.

Although Van der Sar has a lot of experience, he can only kick the ground with his right foot and touch it with his left hand in this situation, but there is really no way to touch the football, so he can only watch the ball fly in.

"Ah~" Smith, who had just jumped up and was about to block the football, cried out in pain after being hit by the ball on the head, and then held his head after landing on the ground, and when he looked up again, he saw that Blackburn's players were already celebrating the goal.

1 to 0.

Blackburn took the lead at a disadvantage.

Smith scored Leeds' first goal of the new season, but it was an own goal.

"Todd hit the goal, hit the Leeds United player, wow~, the ball went in...... The ball went in, Van der Sar didn't have time to touch it, and it was Andy Todd from Blackburn Rovers who scored......"

Commentator Taylor was stunned for a moment, and then he called out, and the goal came too suddenly.

The Leeds United coach's box on the sidelines was also stunned, and the TMD ball went in, which was too easy.

I'm here to press you for 20 minutes, and there is no movement at all, you just have a kick, what is this.

"Alain, Alain......" George Lee shouted to Smith on the field.

Smith rubbed his hair, which looked like blonde and white, as he looked at George Lee.

"It's okay, keep fighting me like this, put more pressure on them, don't give them a little room to fight back......

Smith nodded, then approached Graveson and Davis and spoke to them.

Originally, after Van der Sar came, the captain should have been given to Van der Sar, because Van der Sar is not only experienced, but also does not play as a goalkeeper, so it is relatively stable for the team. You might find a player who can only play 45 minutes to be the captain, and after half the time the captain of the team will be changed.

But Van der Sar voluntarily gave up the captain's armband and insisted that Smith be the captain of the team, because everyone knew that George Lee valued Smith.

The game restarted and Leeds continued to press harder.

Mark Hughes, who was standing on the sidelines at Blackburn, was stunned.

You've seen the team's left-back chase the ball, all the way from his left to the far right, and then back to the left.

That's right, that's what Leeds left-back Baines did just now, chasing the ball from Blackburn's right midfielder Emerton to left wing-back Nel, and then chasing the ball to Emerton.

Leeds United is the whole team pressed up, to keep compressing Blackburn's space.

Finally, the hard work paid off.

In the 39th minute of the game, Scott Parker's sudden up-and-comb, combined with Smith's snatching of Blackburn's ball, directly launched a counterattack.

Glenschal counter-attacked with the ball, constantly changing the direction of the side, to confuse the opposing full-back Todd, leaving him in a dilemma of turning and not turning, and at the moment when Todd made up his mind, Glenschal passed the ball out and wanted to cross in front of the penalty area to the forward Smith.

Smith gritted his teeth and sprinted desperately, trying to distance his former teammate Matteo, but Matteo knew Smith too well, and he kept making small moves all the way, just not giving a chance.

Smith got the ball, but he stopped the ball with his left foot, didn't face the goal when he got the ball, and wanted to flick it with his right foot to get rid of the defense.

But as soon as Smith cleared the ball away, Mateo stretched out his leg and poked the ball, and the ball rolled out of the box.

Mateo had just caught his breath when he noticed that the ball was again next to a man passing a white jersey.

The white jersey with the number 16 written on the trouser leg, and the most obvious thing further up is the shiny bald head, shining golden in the afternoon sunset.

Gravison!

The Danes, who usually don't move forward, appeared here.

Last season, because of playing at the back, Graveson generally did not press too much when counterattacking, and stood a little in front of the two central defenders to help the team transition and change positions when the counterattack was not completed.

But today is different, today the team was replaced by Parker because of the injury of "Boar" Davis, and the task that Gravison received changed, and he could go deep.

So when the team counterattacked, Gravison also began to cut forward, although he was not fast, but Gravison was also an old man, always looking for a vacancy, and finally got the ball in front of the penalty area. This is also due to his performances last season, when Blackburn Rovers set up their defensive tactics without specifying his defense.

Gravison gave a hard kick and all the force was used on the shot.

Blackburn goalkeeper Friedel didn't have time to react, the ball went to the right side of the goal, because Leeds United's attacks just now were on the left wing, so he stood on the left, and he couldn't do anything in the face of this shot.

The shot was so powerful that the ball seemed to penetrate the net.

After the goal, Gravison stood in place, holding his hands aloft, waiting for his team-mates to come and hug and celebrate.

1 to 1.

Leeds equalised or was not quite the right word to use the word 'equaliser' as it was always Leeds United who had the upper hand.

But no matter what, it's good to score goals.

"Go ahead and don't let them breathe!"

After scoring the goal, George Lee continued to keep his team in check, hoping to score another before half-time to take the lead.
