0097 AGAINST ROMAN 2

Fearing Romedahl's low cross, Roma's Brazilian goalkeeper Doni stood a little forward and stood on the line of the small penalty area, ready to block Romedahl's pass.

But who knew that Romedahl crossed the ball to the middle in advance, and Smith in the middle shot at goal.

This shot was different from Smith's previous shots, and Smith paid attention to Dhoni's position when he got up, so he had a foot lift when shooting.

The ball flew over Doni's head and then plunged past him and into the Roma goal.

1 to 0.

Leeds quickly broke through Roma's defence with a textbook quick counter-attack.

Smith used this shot to tell the Romans, what is the quality of a shot, you don't score a goal with three shots, and I can score a goal with just one shot.

After scoring, Smith ran near the corner kick spot, flew up and kicked the corner kick on the corner kick flag, and almost kicked the flag away.

Leeds United fans erupted in earth-shattering shouts from the stands.

After the players and fans had celebrated, the Leeds coaching staff dispersed and returned to their seats, before Brian Kidd, who was sitting on a stool, asked Lee about George Lee after his league day in Manchester City.

"You really went to ask Alex Ferguson how to play in Italy."

"I went, but the old man didn't say anything, it was all nonsense."

"Nothing useful?"

"A little bit."

George Lee can only say that in Ferguson's tirade, only the use of speed to pull out space mentioned is a little inspiring.

That's why he made up this starting line today, which was to make up his mind to play Roma's counterattack, use speed to end the battle, and even prepare to give Roma coach Spalletti a big gift in the second half.

Leeds did not go up after the goal, but continued to maintain the priority of defending and then waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. From this point of view, Leeds United is more of an Italian team today than Roma.

"Go up, go up."

After the restart, Spalletti motioned for his midfielders to lean forward, otherwise the connection between his two midfielders and the frontcourt players would be completely severed.

"Danielle, protect Simeone's back." Spalletti asked De Rossi to step forward to protect his team's striker Perrotta, as he found that all three players in Leeds United's midfield were capable of grabbing, including the returning striker, who had been harassing his own midfielders and preventing them from getting the ball out of the way.

However, it backfired.

Roma advanced at the back, but they suffered from behind them.

In the 33rd minute of the game, it was Leeds United's counterattack again, and Baines teamed up with Parker to steal the ball from Taddei on the right side of Roma. This steal directly opened Leeds United's counter-attacking mode.

Today, the Leeds United players found out that after two seasons of pressing and control, it turned out that it was so cool to play counter-attack.

After Baines grabbed the ball, he found Glen Charles on the wing as George Lee requested.

Glen Charles started his show, first with a feint to the left, tricking Roma's right-back Christian Panucci away, and then facing Aquilani to scramble away and go straight down the middle.

At this time, according to the usual Aquilani to go up and rob, then De Rossi should come to fill in the back and help defend.

But just now De Rossi also went up, and when Glen Schal counterattacked, he hadn't retreated yet.

So Glen Schal got past Aquilani and was left with the entire Roma defence.

After pushing some distance, Glen Charles split the ball down the right.

Now, Romedale is almost running along the sideline in order to pull out space.

So when he got the ball, Zivo had to give up his original position and run over to defend.

This leaves a certain distance between Zivo and the centre-back.

Smith, who has already scored a goal, will not let go of this opportunity and desperately wants to get through this gap.

And Romedahl also spotted this opening, and directly pushed a through ball in front of Smith.

Smith went into the box from that rib and a cross followed.

This time Doni learned to be obedient and did not stand up. But it was because of his position that Roma conceded again.

A quick-moving cross came to the front post where Kevin Davies quickly appeared and shoveled the ball into the net before the Roma defender and goalkeeper.

2 to 0.

Another quick, sharp counter-attack broke through Roma's defence.

Leeds were a bit of a big opener in attack today.

The wings have a crazy impact, the strikers are able to drop back to defend and then attack again, and the frontcourt players can spot the opposition's defensive openings through space passes and runs.

The most important thing is that Leeds United counterattacked today very decisively, and of course it was also an organized forward. There is a division of labor, there are levels, and there is a rhythm.

Everyone's running position was like a knife, running to the weakest point of the Roma team. Or by running and exposing Rome's weakest points.

"When counterattacking, don't hold back, you must rush up, so that you can tear the Roman defense to pieces."

"Scott, Thomas, you pay attention when you step forward, you can choose to stand in a position, so that you can either play the side or attract the center of gravity of the Roma defense."

"I'll make early substitutions in the second half, so don't be afraid to get tired."

"Be decisive at the back, don't pass today, and have the opportunity to find two wings directly."

"You can play like Arsenal and touch the ball a little bit more."

"In a word."

"Run! Rush up! ”

Before the game, George Li made full preparations in the locker room, asking the players to rush up, dare to run, dare to rush.

When Roma kicked off again, George Lee, who had already led by two goals, still kept shouting from the sidelines.

It's okay when defending, and generally in the case of a dead ball, I will make gestures and say a few words of request and focus.

But when it came time for Leeds to counterattack.

“Go,Go,Go! Run,Run,Run! ”

"Tear them up for me!"

After shouting, he even pulled off his tie, and then loosened the collar in two.

Under the influence of George Lee, the whole Leeds United team frantically brought up the rhythm, dragging the Roma players on the field out of breath, where have they usually played this kind of game.

I can't help but ask, is the pace of Premier League games so fast?

Romerdal was a bit of a kick crazy today, and in the process of dribbling the ball together, he was tackled to the ground by Mancini Jr. viciously.

When the referee stopped the game, Romerdal seemed to get up desperately and continued to take the ball forward as if he hadn't heard it, until he found that everyone was not moving.

In the end, I found that my calves were all cut, and the blood was flowing onto the white socks.

After a brief treatment, he returned to the field again and continued to play.

"Dudu~"

The referee blew the half-time whistle and Leeds led Roma 2-0 at home.

George Lee watched as Romedalard was walking down the pitch, but was already limping a little.

I realized that I couldn't do it without changing people.
