0270 Bloody Battle

After scoring the goal, Robben ran directly to the front of Leeds United's coach's box with his fingers, and jumped on George Lee, who was already waiting for him.

At the same time, Robben, who was picked up by George Lee, also stretched out his hand and waved to the stands. Because he had seen his team-mates in the stands behind the dugout and started to celebrate with them.

"Go ahead, halftime will be the kick-off kick-off." George Lee motioned for Arjen Robben to hurry back to the pitch and wait for Chelsea to kick off before entering the break.

As soon as Chelsea kick-off was seen from the sidelines, the referee blew the whistle. George Lee also entered the dressing room early to prepare for the set-up of tactics, and what awaited them was a more intense second half of the game.

^^^

After the start of the second half, as George Lee expected, the competition between the two sides was more intense. This time there is no way to have the kind of first-half shot that Robben had after two consecutive shots into the box, because first of all, more frequent and tougher physical contact and scrambling will not make you comfortable passing, and secondly, once you succeed in passing, you will be taken down by the opponent at any cost.

That's right, just after 15 minutes of the second half, and about 60 minutes into the game, the referee had already pulled out his cards and got soft. Chelsea's John Terry, Bridge, Frank Lampard and Joe Cole all led the way in the second half, and with the addition of Kalou and Claude Makelele, who had already picked up cards in the first half, there are six Chelsea with yellow cards here.

Leeds were no better here, with Kuyt being booked for an outstretched leg shortly after the start of the second half.

At the back, Bale was beaten in the back by Chelsea because he was too aggressive in front. When he was chasing back, he pulled down Kalou, who had already started in the back, and also received a yellow card.

In short, the two teams are now bayonet-wise, and there is no retreat to speak of.

Most of the time, the ball flies in the sky, because as soon as it hits the ground, the game will be blown off without a few passes.

After taking the lead, Leeds are no longer playing as aggressively as in the first half, and are starting to play with the tempo. It's just that the effect is not so good, because the starters in the team are either good at defending players, or good at breaking through, and can really control the rhythm of the game, and they are all watching the game off the field.

After seeing the poor results, George Lee was ready to try a different way to break down Chelsea's iron bucket formation.

Just when he was once again struggling with tactics, something happened on the field that could change the situation on both sides.

In the 64th minute, Chelsea's Kalou won the ball on the right and then chose to pass it to Drogba, who was on the sideline of the penalty area.

Drogba stealthily pushed Glenqvist with his hand and took advantage of the time difference to stop the ball firmly at his feet. Then the African actually made a clever feint, first to the left and then immediately to the right and a half to deceive the Leeds United centre-back who was defending him, and then flashed half a body to enter the box.

However, just after he completed a set of movements, he was accidentally kicked in the foot by Leeds United defender Parker, who had just come to make up for the defense, which looked like a leg trip, and looked like a leg kick, which actually knocked Drogba down.

Didier Drogba opted hard to fall into the box and try to exchange a penalty.

“du~”

The referee did not hesitate and blew the whistle directly.

Then he made a gesture that was puzzling to all the Leeds United fans, players and coaches in the room, and he actually pointed his finger at the penalty spot.

"Ah!!h

There was an uproar in the audience, because people saw that when the foul was made, Drogba's one foot was on the line, and the other foot did not enter the penalty area, and now it was judged by the referee to be a foul in the penalty area.

George Lee rushed directly to the sidelines to protest with the referee, and then went to appeal to the fourth official after not being punished.

That's not all, what is even more infuriating is that the referee also showed Parker the second yellow card of the game to the fouled Parker.

The yellow card was put away, and the referee immediately raised the red card and sent Parker off the field.

This made George Lee, who was already crazy, even more angry, and he continued to protest the referee's decision to the fourth official, and even used some words that sounded like a sound many times, so that his original image of "humble gentleman" disappeared.

George Lee can't care about the image anymore, because this one penalty could bring a lot of ripple effects to this game, the two games in this series.

First of all, this red card will affect Parker's inability to play in the next game, making George Lee's already weak squad even more stretched; Secondly, if this penalty is scored, Leeds United's original lead will become a draw between the two sides for the next game; In the end, it was this goal that would have given Chelsea a valuable away goal.

All things considered, the referee's decision could ruin Leeds United's entire Champions League game this season.

But the referee must have the authority he deserves, saying that a red card is a red card, saying that a penalty is a penalty, and it will not be changed.

Parker reluctantly walked off the court, and when he came to the sideline, he was comforted by George Lee, but this did not help.

Parker, who returned to his seat, angrily threw the water bottle to the ground, then went up and kicked it again.

George Lee immediately returned to the court after glancing at Parker behind him, he had no time to worry about other people's feelings, and he believed that the others in the seat would comfort the player who had been sent off.

He is now more concerned about whether Chelsea's penalty will go in.

“Fxxk!”

It was not known how many times George Lee had uttered the phrase today, as Van der Sar on the pitch failed to judge the direction of the penalty against Frank Lampard and was converted by a Chelsea player.

Do you want to make a substitution?

This is a problem that George Lee is facing now, the team is now sent off a midfielder, and he may have to send another midfielder, otherwise he may not be able to hold the opposite side in the midfield.

But if he replaces a striker named Kuyt, then the team will not even have anyone to organize the attack.

It is even more impossible to replace the wide players because he also wants to take advantage of the lack of attacking ability on the wings of Chelsea today and use his wingers and full-backs to cause damage on the wings.

Looking at the players who were warming up, Li Qiaozhi was ready to call back Davis and let him go on the court to strengthen the attack, and George Li would definitely not be satisfied with the 1-1 score.

"Kevin ......"

Before he could finish shouting, one of the Leeds United players fell to the ground due to a scramble with Ballack.

There was an injury substitution in the first half after a scramble between the two players, and it was Chelsea's Essien who went down at the time, and this time it was the turn of the Leeds United players.

Joey Barton, the former Premier League villain, is now rolling on the ground with his ankles so desperately that his team-mates can't help him.

"Morten!"

George Lee can't let Davis play now, he needs to strengthen his midfield, otherwise the situation may collapse.

"I want you to play a little further back and use the long pass to find the two wings and find the back of the opposing player."

At this time, in this situation, George Li's high-level oppression and local advantages can no longer be used, and he can only use the long pass that he once looked down on the most.

It's just that his long pass is not looking for the striker in front, but two wings.
