0182 Attack on Eddie Howe 3
Middlesbrough took the lead shortly after the break.
In the 6th minute of the game, Middlesbrough took advantage of Leeds United's unstable foothold in the opening away game and launched an attack from the right side.
Middlesbrough's own Academy player, right midfielder Morrison, combined with midfielder Roshenbach to steal Pedersen's ball, and Morrison took the ball and advanced directly down the right flank.
The Middlesbrough fans at the scene have already started to get excited, and they keep cheering for the home team.
It was in the cheering and shouting of the fans that Morrison burst out with intense energy. Squeezed away young Danny Rose with his body, squeezing Rose unsteady on his feet and falling to the ground.
Morrison is now unguarded on the right side, and in order not to let him get up calmly, Granquist gave up Yakubu, who was supposed to defend, and pounced on Morrison.
Morrison played the ball down the middle just as Glenqvist was about to put it in place.
There, Albchestenson is scrambling for a place with Viduka.
After a physical duel, Viduka squeezed past Albchesen with his strong body and managed to get the ball on the head.
It's just that he didn't choose to hit the goal directly, but gave the ball to Yakubu on the side.
Yakubu, who had no one around him, pushed the bottom right corner of the goal.
Thankfully, Schmeichel struggled to block the first shot with his hands.
"Whew~" All the home fans regretted that this shot did not score.
"Aha~" But immediately they began to surprise again.
Because the ball was blocked by Schmeichel Jr. after the first shot, it rolled to the feet of Viduka.
George Li in the audience saw this scene and was ready to stand up, but as soon as he made a move, he was pulled by Kidd on the side and let him sit back in his seat.
Viduka easily pushed the ball into the empty net.
1 to 0.
After the goal, Viduka ran defiantly towards the Leeds United bench and kept shouting at the Leeds United bench.
"Coward!"
George Lee almost couldn't swallow this breath again, and wanted to stand up and trouble Viduka.
"Sit down." Kidd pulled George Lee back into his seat, "You want to be like this yourself, all the substitutes, and you have to change the coach." What are you excited about here now? ”
"I just can't swallow this breath, anyone can enter, but I can't let Viduka in."
"You've made people ugly so many times, and they're retaliating against you." Kidd began to persuade him.
"No, I'll let Eddie figure out a way to give that kid a little color."
"Okay."
With that, Kidd was ready to get up and go to say hello to Eddie Howe.
"Forget it, Eddie can do it, don't put any more pressure on him."
George Lee called Kidd back and motioned for Eddie Howe to be given some freedom.
Now that it's all in the hands of Eddie Howe, trust him.
As everyone knows, Eddie Howe is also anxious now, and he scored a goal against the opponent in the opening game, and he has no way back now.
"Danny, it's okay, be bold next time."
Eddie Howe first encouraged Rose, who had just been knocked to the ground, and the young Leeds youngster had been hanging his head and looking very depressed as he passed in front of him.
For the rest, Howe didn't say much. The game has just begun, and the attack of his own team has not yet been launched, so there is no need to emphasize anything, but I have to talk about it separately when I lost the ball just now.
"Don't stick to the ball, over-...... fast"
Clapping his hands as he spoke.
Seeing the reaction of Eddie Howe after conceding the goal, Lee George and Kidd and others began to chat.
The main talk is about Eddie Howe's abilities, such as the severity of the usual training team players, whether there are new ideas during tactical meetings, etc.
In fact, George Li has no opinion on losing in this game, that is, he mainly focuses on training, training is coaching, and practicing is substitutes. It's just that he was very upset about letting Viduka score just now, and it will be over and I feel much better.
But if Viduka goes in a little bit more, George Lee will be angry again.
With around 20 minutes into the first half, Leeds had begun to settle into the rhythm of the game and slowly put some of Eddie Howe's pre-game stuff out.
In the 21st minute of the game, Charlotte Black on the right side of Leeds United was stuck in advance and prevented Downing, who wanted to break through.
On 23 minutes, Joey Barton helped Rose to make up for the defense, brought down Morrison, and received a yellow card.
In the 30th minute of the game, Pedersen received a cross pass from Lennon on the right and shot directly in front of the penalty area. The ball was tipped out of the line by Middlesbrough goalkeeper Schwarzer.
Pedersen's corner was then met by Albuchesen at the front post, only to hit the side-netting.
And Eddie Howe on the sidelines is also getting more and more into the state of a head coach.
The whole person was like glued to the sidelines, and was reminded many times by the fourth official before returning to his area.
For the last 20 minutes of 30 minutes, Eddie Howe has been setting tasks for the team. One will limit Downing on the wing, and the other will strengthen the defense of Viduka.
"Why don't you give him that bottle of water?"
George Lee said a word to John Sheridan next to him, and Sheridan immediately took a bottle of water and sent it to Eddie Howe.
George Lee also found out that Sheridan is more suitable to be an assistant coach, while Eddie Howe will leave Leeds United sooner or later to become a good manager in other teams.
After Howe got the mineral water, he thanked Sheridan for a moment, and then unscrewed the water.
After shouting for nearly half an hour, he was indeed thirsty.
As soon as the mouth of the bottle was put to his mouth, he noticed that something had changed on the field.
Lee Bowyer received a pass from Barton and, when he didn't have a chance to get out of defence, opted to distribute the ball to Sigurdson next to him.
The still very young "Icelandic Sniper" looked directly at the left side of the team and made a long pass.
Andy Gray received the ball there.
That's the subtle tactical difference between Howe and George Lee, who doesn't usually let the center pull too far to the side, while Eddie Howe lets Andy Gray get the ball on the wing.
As a result, Middlesbrough's two centre-backs calmly stood in the box and waited for the defence to be present.
Pogaertz and Andrew Davies stood in front of goalkeeper Schwarzer to prevent other Leeds attacking players from breaking into the box.
But this time they miscalculated.
Leeds didn't get into the box after the centre-forward pulled the side, but came to the front of the box.
Pederson, Bowyer, Sigurdsson and even two full-backs, Charlotte and Rose, have also come to the flanks to pose a threat.
As a result, Middlesbrough's defence was a bit understaffed in front of the penalty area.
The ball was crossed by Gray in front of the penalty area, and Roshenbach, the Brazilian, had no physical advantage in front of a group of Nordic and British strong men.
The ball was headed over to Bowyer by Sigurdsson.
After Bowyer won the ball at the top of the arc, Myburgh's two centre-backs couldn't sit still anymore and stepped forward to block.
That created opportunities for the rest of the Leeds players to get into the box.
It's just that everyone didn't expect this person to step forward.
Charlotte Black, who usually behaves quite mature and steady, unexpectedly entered the box from the ribs. Because Myburgh's left-back Taylor is focused on Lennon.
Charlotte receives a through ball from Bowyer in the box and volleys hard into the far corner.
There was no response, and Schwarzer watched the ball go into the net.
1 to 1.
Charlotte spread her hands and slowly turned to meet the earth-shattering boos of the Middlesbrough fans.
"Shh~"
Tilt your head, close your eyes, and signal that the boos are coming a little more violently.
It's time for George Lee's brother-in-law to pretend again.
