0221 Unlucky Viduka

Elland Road, Leeds United's home match against Newcastle United reached the 85th minute.

Viduka finally got the best chance of the day.

Newcastle snatched the ball from Scott Parker with one of the few good defences of the day.

A sudden steal from Graimi cut off Parker's ball. In fact, Parker was a little careless and didn't protect the football, so that Geremi grabbed the ball.

Of course, this loss of possession also made George Lee very dissatisfied with the field, and loudly reprimanded the Leeds United players on the field.

After all, the game went perfectly and Leeds are now far ahead. If a goal is conceded at this time, it is the biggest disrespect for this game, after all, George Lee and the Leeds United coaching staff have been preparing for this game for a long time.

Among them, there must be "special" reasons.

The first thing that came to mind when Geremi got the ball was a counter-attack, and he saw Martins, who replaced Owen in the second half, running forward, and it was already a good opportunity.

Without further thought, Grami played the ball quickly and was ready to pass it to Martins.

But when the ball was passed to Martins, Albchesten, who was chasing back, touched it slightly and changed direction.

The ball, which had changed direction, suddenly rolled to the feet of Viduka, who was unguarded on the other side.

Because the entire Leeds defence was focused on Martins, there was no one to take care of Viduka on the right.

Viduka got the ball with his back and started turning.

The turn wasn't quick, but fortunately there was no one to defend him, and he eventually got him in front of the goal.

"Damn it!" George Li on the sidelines scolded.

Seeing Viduka get the ball in front of the penalty area and prepare to enter the box, his mood suddenly did not look good. But who can say more about such a ball?

God TM knew that the ball would change direction after being touched by Albuchesen, God TM knew that it would be given to Viduka, and God TM knew that Viduka would be unguarded nearby.

In short, one can only hope that Viduka is not in form, and the ball is sent flying or too far into the game and is saved by Van der Sar.

And Viduka on the field didn't think so, he held his breath today. Every time Leeds scored a goal today, someone came up and taunted him and everyone was targeting him. He wasn't given the ball, he wasn't given a chance to hit the ball, and even he felt like the physical contact today was the most of his career.

It's not because the competition is fierce, but someone has always come over and touch him and bump him.

Now that he's finally got the ball, he's ready to play a good and serious offense, without the clowns in the white jersey to interfere with him.

Just shoot with all your might and hit the ball into the goal of the Dutchman in the yellow goalkeeper's shirt.

Everything else, it doesn't matter.

Viduka pushes the ball forward, first into the box and then he prepares to enter the box himself.

Once in the box he was ready to shoot straight at goal, and he had to hit the Leeds goal.

Just as he raised his leg to enter the restricted area, he suddenly felt the supporting foot trip over something, and then a force passed from his right foot.

The force quickly turned into a feeling of pain, and the force and pain made him unable to maintain his balance any longer, and he had to fall to the ground.

"du~" The referee's whistle sounded as soon as possible.

And Viduka, who fell to the ground, finally realized what had happened.

Someone fouled him behind him, and now the pain in his foot is gone, more of the pain when he falls.

"Despicable!"

Viduka took a look at his position, still outside the box. Just now I pushed the football into the penalty area, and I was put down before I could go in.

Thinking he was smart, he hurriedly rolled into the penalty area with his ankle in his arms.

It's just that I just turned over half of my body and found that I couldn't roll.

Because Van der Sar came to the line of the penalty area and blocked his progress.

Or rather, the tumbling route.

Red!!!

The referee didn't make any extra moves and showed the red card directly to Lee Bowyer.

Viduka faced the goal and was already a one-on-one goal. Bowyer puts a tackle behind his back, and it's a tackle with both legs.

In this case, there is no need to say anything, the referee will definitely show a red card.

It may even be possible to add a ban to the original ban.

Bowyer didn't argue with the referee after the foul, just raised his hands and waited for the referee's decision.

After the red card was revealed, he silently began to walk off the field.

As he was about to walk to the sidelines, there was a round of applause in the Elland Road stadium.

The applause began to grow louder and louder, and almost all the home fans began to give a standing ovation.

When Bowyer heard this, he also began to raise his hands and applaud the moment he stepped out of the sideline.

The camera of the live broadcast was first shown to Bowyer, then began to move up to the Leeds United fans in the stadium, and finally stopped on the scoreboard at the scene.

6 to 0. The home team is in the front, the away team is in the back.

"We saw that Bowyer, who had just been on the field for six minutes, completed a tactical foul and brought down Viduka, who had already made a single cut, and the referee decisively showed a red card."

"Normally, the referee will look at the foul. If it's inside the box, it's a penalty plus a yellow card, and if it's outside the box, it's a set-piece plus a red card. ”

"Since it is a red card, there is a high probability that the referee will determine that this ball is a foul outside the penalty area."

"Sure enough, the referee signaled that it was a foul from outside the box."

'The Newcastle players kept signaling to the referee that it should be a penalty.

"It's just that the referee insists on his decision, let's take a look at the replay ......"

“......”

"It was a foul outside the box, it was decisive."

The BBC commentator is constantly explaining the Leeds United foul.

Lee Bowyer, who returned to the bench, was greeted like a hero.

Several young assistant coaches, unused substitutes, and substituted starters all hugged Bowyer.

Bowyer sat on the bench and refused the water offered to him by his teammates.

"I've only been up for a few minutes, and I'm coming down before I can move."

"Hehe......" everyone around laughed.

"It's supposed to be done by Alain, and I was just about to tell him that I was going to switch places with him, and I went to the wing to let him play in the middle, and that's what happened. If he had changed positions earlier, he would have been the one with the red card. ”

At this time, Brian Kidd poured a basin of cold water on him and said: "That's different, it's okay for you to be suspended for a few games as a substitute, and the impact of Alain's suspension is greater." ”

Although Kidd is telling the truth, it still hurts a little bit.

But Bowyer wasn't angry, if it had been him, he would have been on the bench and Kidd.

My teammates have played on the field, and it's not impossible to play coaching.

"I can't say that, if the head coach had been replaced by George, instead of you and Eddie, maybe I would have won the Ballon d'Or a long time ago."

The bickering between the two drew cheers from Leeds United's bench.

"When the game is over, don't bother Viduka."

After seeing Viduka knock the set-piece away, George Lee also returned to his seat and said to several other people.

Everyone was puzzled, and they all thought that this was a good opportunity for Viduka to fall into the ground.

"There's no need, I think if I go and pull him this time, he'll have to stand up and talk trash next time."

George Lee spread his hands.

After the game, Viduka thought he would flee back to the dressing room for fear of being stopped by the Leeds United players and sneering.

But the generous George Lee didn't care about it, and was taking the Leeds United players to signal to the home crowd.
