0269 The one who broke the ice
"Oops~"
Seeing that the goal was not scored, George Lee and other Leeds United coaches expressed their pity, because although Leeds United played this goal very concisely, it was this extremely simple combination that played a very good effect, and it was almost scored to help Leeds United take the lead.
If you can score first at this time, it will create a favorable situation for the whole game.
However, even if it is so little, it is really a matter of more than ten centimeters.
"Oops~"
It was also a pity that all the Leeds United fans in the stands, especially the area where Leeds United captain Alan Smith was located, was simply a large number of falls.
Wallace pushed Smith away as he fell on top of him, and then slammed Olson, who was pressing on the other side of his body, away with his shoulder.
"This ball ......"
"If this ball were you, it would have gone straight in, right?"
Olsen had heard Smith's stinky farts boast many times, so he took the initiative to say what Smith wanted to say this time without waiting for him to finish.
"That's right, you're so smart." Smith angrily rubbed Olsen's hair with his hand.
"Let it go! Let go! Olsen's hair was about to smoke from Smith's hair, and he quickly begged for mercy, "I'm wrong Captain, let me go." ”
Smith also rubbed it a few times before letting go of his head coach's son.
As soon as they let go, they saw that here Chelsea had begun to launch a counterattack.
I saw Cudicini send the goal kick directly to full-back Bridge, and then the full-back, who has a lot of "connections" with Terry, took advantage of Leeds United's still immersed in Arneson's shot to find Joe Cole, who was already in place.
Cole is also looking to create a threat from Leeds' ribs. When he was about to go to the middle, he found that the road had been blocked by Parker and Black, and then Bridge, who was about to plug in on the wing, was also followed by Robben who was back in defense.
However, the spirited England midfielder spotted a gap here for Leeds.
Because Parker came to press Cole and Barton didn't shorten the distance between him and Parker in the first place, this gave Lampard space and opportunity to step forward.
Man to ball to.
Frank Lampard received a pass from Cole and was already making his way through Leeds United midfield to face the Leeds United defence.
In front of him, in addition to Leeds' two centre-backs, there is also his team-mate Drogba.
The Africans are pulling Lampadla, a combination they have done countless times in previous seasons.
Drogba first pretended to run to the left, attracting the attention of Albuchesen's defence, forcing the Danish defender to keep retreating to his right back. Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Drogba began to move away again and then accelerated to the other side, trying to focus on Granqvist's defense as well.
Finally, thanks to Didier Drogba's tireless efforts, the gap between Leeds' two centre-backs became a bit wider.
Frank Lampard had been waiting for that opportunity for a long time, and he pulled out his leg and fired a shot that flew like a cannonball towards the Leeds United goal.
The quality of the ball was very high, although it wasn't played at a tricky angle, but because Lampard shot with a lot of force, it was very fast, and the ball flew towards the left side of the goal.
Van der Sar is also very experienced, and he knows that he can't save the ball himself, so he just chooses to hit the ball out.
In the end, the ball was held up by the Dutch goalkeeper with both hands.
As soon as he got up, he yelled at the two central defenders: "Why did he drag two people by himself, why don't you interfere with the one who got the ball." ”
Albchesten and Granquist looked at each other, and they also knew that the defense just now was a problem with the coordination between the two, so the opponent caught the hole.
Among them, Albuchesen is also a little more experienced, and immediately reached out to Van der Sar to signal that he will definitely pay attention next time. At the same time, he took the initiative to find Granquist and whispered something in the latter's ear.
The corner was taken, and this one was also very threatening. Chelsea's Drogba at the front of the point rubbed against John Terry who was waiting there at the back point. Ignoring the interference of the Leeds United players behind him, Terry tried to push the ball into the Leeds United goal with his forehead.
The ball was less powerful because of the interference that Terry received, and was blocked by Van der Sar's hand. Immediately after the ball landed, a group of people rushed to come up, among which Carvalho was the closest to the ball, so he was very clever and ready to fall to the ground and poke the ball in.
Fortunately, Van der Sar, who reacted again, pressed the ball to the ground with his hand in time, and then the whole person fell on the ball.
After completing a series of actions, the people around them gradually dispersed after seeing that the ball was under control. In particular, the Chelsea players hurriedly started to defend back, they knew that Leeds United would be terrible if they fought back here, and they had to defend against it.
However, this time Van der Sar did not rush to counter-attack, but waited for everyone to go away before slowly getting up to his feet, and now he needs to slow down the pace of the game, otherwise Chelsea, who have just picked up some attack, may find their senses.
Albuchesen patted Van der Sar on the shoulder, paid tribute to the veteran goalkeeper's outstanding performance, and then stepped back into his defence.
After a few attacks and defenses between the two sides, they slowed down the tempo again and began to continue to fight in the midfield, and at this time someone needed to be able to step up and score first to open up the situation.
People on each side want the person who stands up is their own place, but no matter what, there will only be one person who can stand up, and it can't be a white dress or a blue dress.
^^^
Towards the end of the first half, this key figure appeared without warning.
Just when everyone thought it would go into the break with a score of 0-0, Arjen Robben scored an unimaginable goal.
At that time, some fans had already started to go to the toilet and buy food to leave their seats, and as soon as they were halfway through, they heard the sound in the stadium gradually getting louder, and the fans who had not left their seats stood up one by one.
Robben cooperated with Blake on the right flank, completely blocking Joe Cole's way, and in a hurry, Joe Cole's pass actually kicked at Robben's feet.
Robben turned straight to get the ball and started pushing down the wing.
In the face of Bridge, who came out to defend, a change of center of gravity and small broken steps directly got rid of the opponent, and cut inside to the middle of Chelsea.
Terry found that his team-mate was out of position and also left his defensive position to block Robben's lane. But Arjen Robben struck a left-footed smash past the Chelsea captain and into the box.
When Cudicini attacked, he was already a step late and did not block all the angles in time. Robben, who was on the verge of losing his balance after being brought into the box, finished with a shot before reaching the ground.
Near Angle!
The ball went in, and the time ran out.
Leeds United entered the second half with a 1-0 lead thanks to Arjen Robben's goal.
