0072 Overtake

Leeds' second goal didn't keep George Lee waiting long, as the fourth official held up the sign for four minutes of stoppage time.

This time it was again Leeds United counter-attack, first through a steal from Albuchesen, cut off Bellamy's ball, and then immediately passed the ball to the retreating Kevin Davies, who picked up the ball near his own half near the centre circle, and after taking the ball, he did not choose to counterattack directly, but observed the position of his team-mate.

Parker and Graveson were not close to the middle, and the two centre-backs were pushing forward in front of the box, and Van der Sar saw his team-mates start to counter-attack and even found themselves outside the box.

Davies sent a straight pass back to Van der Sar, who stopped the ball and headed to the left wing for the rest of the Blackburn defence.

The ball was given behind Andy Todd and Glen Charles sprinted into the opposition half and chased the football.

Blackburn's half was almost empty, with two centre-backs staring at Davies and one near Smith, with only two full-backs defending.

Glen Charles didn't stop the ball either, taking a header and continuing to push in the direction of Blackburn's goal, which was quite fast, leaving Todd behind.

On the other side, when Glen Schal began to counter-attack, Van Persie also started to start, running towards Blackburn's goal, and Blackburn defender Nel chased after Van Persie.

But Van Persie was clever enough to get stuck in position first, keeping Nel on his right at all times, and keeping himself free of defenders between him and Glen Schal.

Blackburn's goalkeeper Friedel was embarrassed, he didn't know whether to attack or not, if he attacked, Glen Schal's pass to Van Persie would be an empty goal, and if he didn't attack, then he would probably only be able to watch Glen Schal hit the goal.

The main reason is that his two teammates and fullbacks are not as fast as others, and they can't catch up with others.

Although the two central defenders are also rushing back, it is estimated that they will not be able to fly back for a while.

Friedel couldn't wait any longer, so he had to choose to attack, hoping that Glen Charles would be able to knock down the ball when he passed the ball, or that the ball was not passed well and let Nell on his side destroy the ball first.

But Glenschal and Robin van Persie didn't give Friedel a chance, with Glenschal crossing and Van Persie gently pushing into the empty net.

2 to 1.

No mistakes, no offsides, no surprises.

It's as simple as that, one hit is deadly.

Although there were only two people on the Leeds counter-attack, it was actually the result of the team's efforts.

The forward movement of the overall defensive line has given Van der Sar more room to move.

The two midfielders were able to pull the ball directly to Van der Sar.

Davies' pullback took away one of Blackburn's centre-backs.

Smith's movement attracted another centre-back.

This goal is different from the dazzling one-touch touch, multi-player combination.

Very concise, but very deadly.

In the end, Leeds United reversed two goals after falling behind by one goal in the first half and temporarily led 2-1 into the second half.

When entering the players' tunnel and walking to the locker room, whether it is the old players who stayed in the team this year or the new players who have just joined this year, they all walked together in twos and threes, chatting about the situation in the first half, which was a relatively relaxed expression.

Smith is still walking with Van Persie, and then there is another frontcourt player, Kevin Davis, and Smith is constantly talking to Davis about the timing and strength of the frontcourt pressing.

And Glen Schal gave a thumbs up to the indirect assist from Edwin van der Sar.

Parker and Gravison are walking with "Wild Boar" Davis, although these people are competing for positions, but this does not affect the former two to care about the latter's injury situation.

Leeds United are now on the path to becoming a strong team, and through last season's hard work, confidence has been able to contag everyone in the team.

In the locker room, George Li did not talk about tactics first, but asked the players to rest and drink water to finish chatting before starting to arrange tactics.

In fact, I didn't say much, just gave a few small precautions to a few new players who started today, to strengthen the cooperation between the teams.

For example, Kevin Davis should not blindly pull when attacking, but should attack appropriately forward. You are a "striker" first, and then you can play tricks to be a "defensive striker".

Another example is not to worry too much about the opponent's counterattack when attacking, and when Matthison or Albuchestson comes up, you can appropriately move forward to help the attack.

Then Van der Sar had nothing to set up, he was told before that he could counterattack at the first time and expand his range of activities, and he did a good job today, and he also initiated the second goal. In the warm-up matches in the Netherlands and back in England, Van der Sar often used long-distance hand-tosses to launch counter-attacks.

This made George Li sigh that there is really an old family and a treasure. More mature and experienced than Robinson, with a more technical and professional technical understanding and a deeper tactical understanding, he no longer thinks about Robinson.

By the way, Paul Robinson has not played in the first round of the Premier League after moving to Manchester United because of an injury last season and is still recovering from an injury.

'We saw that after the start of the second half, Blackburn Rovers still didn't change anything, and there was nothing Leeds could do.

"That's right, or the difference in strength is here, the two teams push forward a season, both are relegation teams, and even Leeds United succeeded in relegation at the last minute. But after the last season, Leeds United gave people the feeling of being reborn, and they rose into a strong team in an instant, although they couldn't play at the level of Arsenal and Manchester United, but they also slowly became a team that could compete with them. ”

'Martin, did you forget to mention a team, our Premier League champion last year was Chelsea.'

'Ian, Chelsea is different, how much money Chelsea spends, how much Leeds spend and I think if George Lee had been given the same transfer funds, George Lee might have done better.'

'If you say that, Chelsea's Mr Mourinho will be angry.'

"It doesn't matter, some people like a mad coach like Jose Mourinho, and some people like a gentleman coach like Lee."

"Then I'm looking forward to the next time that madman fights our gentleman, and the gentleman may not be able to take advantage."

"Not necessarily, our gentleman's players are not gentlemen...... We see, Leeds United attacked here, Davies fought for a point, and it was given to Smith in the back, Smith's favorite position...... Gooooooal! ”

'Alan Smith, unstoppable, Leeds doubled the score.

Two commentators, Martin Taylor and Ian Dark, scored again five minutes into the second half.

Mills received Van Persie's return pass and sent in a 45-degree cross from the right, and Kevin Davies, although not tall, still grabbed a little bit with his strong body and bounce, and gave the ball to Smith next to him.

Smith is already familiar with this kind of shooting after insertion.

No surprise, Friedel's goal was breached for the third time.

3 to 1.

Leeds United's first win of the new season is within reach.
