0124 Europa League Final 5
The Leeds United players were excited to return to the dressing room for a break.
During the break, I was also more relaxed, all chatting, and the main content of the chat was Navarro's mistake just now, which led to Robin van Persie's second goal for Leeds United.
George Li didn't deliberately interrupt them, but let them talk for a while before arranging tactics.
"Okay, are you done talking, we'll open the champagne after talking."
"Don't don't, boss, hurry up and set up tactics, let's listen."
The disgraceful affair of opening champagne in the middle of the game has become a bad behavior under the hype of the media. Not only does this represent disrespect for the opponent, but it also creates the possibility of being overturned by someone else in the second half.
Although he knew that George Lee was watching a joke, Smith still offered to ask George Lee not to leave.
The main thing is a matter of attitude, which means that we are ready to listen to your tactics, you say, we listen.
'We're two goals ahead now and they definitely thought we'd be going to be tougher defensively, but I'm not going to do that, I'm going to keep going.' Lee made a new tactical request, and with two goals in hand, he didn't think it was enough, and he wanted to expand the score and kill the game completely.
Then he went back to arranging.
"In the second half, Glen Charles asked you to go straight on the pitch, replace Milner, and play the 433 we are most familiar with."
“OK。” Milner didn't say anything about his departure, he was a Leeds Academy player, and he could make sacrifices for the sake of the team's victory, as long as the team won in the end.
'In the first half, we scored two goals, one on the left and one in the middle, although the second goal was a bit of luck.
"Haha~" Everyone looked at Van Persie, the second goal was indeed helped by Navarro, otherwise it would not have been so easy.
Of course, Van Persie's last kick did hit a good shot.
'Actually, when I scored the first goal, I found that their left wing-back was a relatively weak position, so we can play this point properly.
'Scott, in the second half you drop back a little bit and help the two centre-backs so that our two full-backs can plug in.
"Okay." Parker took the initiative to accept the task.
"Kevin, help the midfielders, both offensively and defensively."
"No problem, sir."
The team's recruitment for the summer has already begun, and George Lee has informed Kevin Davis that the team may add a quality forward next season, and Davis' main position does not guarantee him.
But the England striker, who is not known for scoring goals, faced a sincere manager, and he took the initiative to choose to stay, after all, he can stay in a team that has been fighting on multiple fronts and can play in the Champions League, even if he is not the main team, there will be no shortage of playing opportunities.
Therefore, Kevin Davis's tactical arrangement for George Lee will not be discounted at all.
"Jespe, Edgar, Nigel, hurry up and warm up, you might all have to play. And you, Dennis. ”
Glen Char, Davies, De Jong and Romedahl, who were called by name, all went to warm up, and the rest of the players were hurrying to rest.
With the exception of Milner, he had already taken off his soaked shirt and put on other short sleeves and a vest as he didn't have to play in the second half.
However, when Milner changed his clothes, he almost took the wrong clothes and almost put on the championship short sleeves that Leeds United were going to wear after winning the championship, but fortunately Pedersen on the side found it in time and stopped him on the spot.
^^^
As soon as the second half began, George Lee found that Sevilla on the opposite side had also made changes, replacing Canoute, who had just returned from injury, and replacing Saviola, who had not performed well in the first half.
Juan de Ramos found that the "rabbit" did play in this kind of fast-paced team in the Premier League, and he was not very adaptable, and there was no opportunity and space to get the ball at his feet.
After switching sides, both sides made changes at the same time.
It's just that after the start of the second half, Sevilla's changes here were immediately effective.
In the 52nd minute of the game, the impact of the two forwards finally came to fruition.
Leeds United have dropped a wing-back here and sent Mills to play right wing-back, leaving only two centre-backs, while Parker did not execute Lee's midfield set-up well and did not return to a position parallel to the two centre-backs in defence.
Here Sevilla found Fabiano, who was fighting for Mathieson's position through Adriano's 45-degree cross from the left, and the Brazilian finally won Mathieson in the aerial battle, reaching the first point in the penalty area, and comfortably headed it to Canout, who had just come on.
Kanute, who was near the penalty spot, fired a straight right-footed shot with a small swing of the leg, which was sudden.
Van der Sar fell to the ground in time and pounced on the first blow.
However, he didn't hold the ball, and Maresca, who was inserted, shot into the net.
2 to 1.
Sevilla see hope again.
George Lee stood on the sidelines and was very angry, and then stared at Parker, who had made a mistake just now, and Parker also knew that he had made a mistake and didn't dare to look up at Lee.
"Edgar, come here."
George Lee called in Davies, who was warming up, and asked the Dutchman to replace Scott Parker.
Parker has a lot of responsibility for the goal just now, first of all, there are obviously two forwards on the opposite side, and he only has two central defenders here, but Parker did not retreat to the back line to participate in the defense together. The second is that he didn't look at Maresca, who was inserted, and let him complete the follow-up shot.
However, George Li is also to blame for this lost goal, George Li found the changes after the substitution on the opposite side, but he did not follow up here to make changes at the first time.
"Playing like we did in our first season, you know?"
Before Edgar David came on the field, George Lee laid out this sentence.
George Lee discovered that Parker can play at the back and can be a barrier in front of the team's backline, but you can't let him drop back.
Lack of positional sense of playing defenders, when to go up and when to go down, this is not good, let alone retreat to the position of central defender, and comb the ball at the back with two central defenders.
Gravison did this very well, and in the 04/05 season, Gravison, a single midfielder, worked well with Albuchesen and Mathieson.
That's why Lee is now bringing in Edgar Davies, and that season it was Davies, Smith and Gravison who propped up Leeds' 433 midfield.
Now George Lee needs this effect.
Sure enough, when Edgar Davis came on the court, it had an immediate effect.
It's just that it's not letting go, it's the "wild boar" Davis who scored.
Just five minutes after Sevilla's goal, Leeds United attacked through the right in an attack. Initiated by Robin van Persie, after the break, Lee George said Sevilla left-back David. Then complete the bottom cross.
It's just that Van Persie's cross is too poor in quality, and he still uses his right foot.
Straight from the right baseline to the left outside the penalty area.
Just when everyone thought Leeds were going to fail in this attack, Edgar Davies appeared there and volleyed a left-footed volley.
The ball passed through the slit in the box and bounced off the ground in the six-yard box.
The opposing goalkeeper moved from side to side again, and his vision was blocked by the people in the penalty area, and when he saw the ball, the ball had already landed in the small penalty area and bounced up.
He couldn't make a complete save and watched the ball fly into his own gate for the third time.
3 to 1.
The joy of the Sevilla fans lasted only five minutes.
