"Welcome to watch the 12th round of the Premier League broadcast for you by Sky TV, Chelsea vs. Leeds United at home. Hello everyone, I am Martin Taylor."
"Hello everyone, I'm Ian Dark."
"The first to kick off is Chelsea, who are wearing blue jerseys and playing at home. They attack from left to right. Today their starting lineup is Cech, Barbaroa, Terry, Carvalho, Ferreira, Makele Lay, Thiago... Oh, just at the beginning, Leeds United committed a foul in the midfield. It was Leeds United's No. 19. Eric Buck, who started today, committed a foul on Lampard. Knocked down Chelsea’s No. 8 Frank Lampard from behind.” Halfway through the introduction of the Chelsea players, Martin Taylor began to explain the game on the field.
"We continue to introduce Chelsea's starting lineup, with Makelele, Thiago and Lampard in the midfield, and Robben, Duff and Gudjohnsen in the frontcourt."
"Let's introduce the Leeds United team again. The starting goalkeeper is Robinson. The four defenders from left to right are Baines, Matthijssen, Albuchesson and Kelly. The three midfielders are different from the past. They are Graveson. , Buck and Smith, with Davies, Romedal and Robin van Persie in the frontcourt.”
After listening to Taylor's introduction, Dak immediately took it.
"Today's Leeds United lineup has changed a lot from the past, and it is different from what we expected. Davis appeared on the left and did not play the midfielder he has always played in the past, while Mills, who has been playing as a right back today, He didn't play either and was replaced by Kelly."
The director also cooperated very well and showed the camera to Danny Mills who was traveling with the team and was in the stands.
Mills had his head wrapped in gauze and was watching the game in a strange shape.
"Uh, it's probably a head injury," Duck said.
"And the young Bynes was also deployed on the left..."
Dak was interrupted by Taylor mid-sentence.
"Gravesen, steal the ball from Tiago and counterattack."
"Romedal got the ball, picked up speed, and was about to go over...and got pulled down."
"It was Makelele who committed the foul. Makelele's defense was in order to prevent Romedal from increasing his speed, so we had to use foul tactics. Romedal's speed is still very fast," Taylor said.
"Yes, once Romedal gets up to speed, he can't hold him back." Duck said.
"Today, it's a pity. The Danish winger who played for Chelsea last season, Grenjaer, was unable to play due to injury. Otherwise, this game would be very meaningful." Taylor said.
"Yes, the two Danes, as the two wingers of Leeds United, have performed quite well this season... Van Persie got the ball, and Smith passed the ball two steps later to Van Persie. Van Persie The shot... was blocked by Terry, and Cech got it securely." Dak explained that Leeds United's lineup was changing halfway, and Leeds United immediately launched a threatening attack on the field.
"The two Danish wingers have performed well for Leeds United this season. Together with the Dutch forward Robin van Persie, who was also introduced this summer, and Smith, who has retreated in the team this season, the four of them have managed most of Leeds United's goals... ... Ferreira's long pass directly found Gudjohnsen, and Albucherson competed for the top, and passed it to Lampard who was behind... Lampard passed the ball to the wing and inserted it. Robben, Robben was very fast... He had to pass Kelly, passed... Robben fell down, was there a foul..."
On the court, Robben got the ball on the left wing and used a change of rhythm to deceive Kelly's center of gravity. He was about to pass Kelly and enter the penalty area. Kelly made a tackle and the ball came out of the baseline. Robben fell to the ground.
Corner kick.
Robben fell in the penalty area, but referee Lilly did not give Chelsea a penalty kick, but gave a corner kick.
Robben kept complaining on the ground, and Chelsea captain Terry also kept talking to the referee on his way from the backcourt to the frontcourt.
The referee insisted on blowing the corner kick.
Chelsea took a corner kick and the ball was confiscated by Robinson.
Robinson directly threw the ball with a strong hand and threw it out.
Baines took the ball on the left, and after a one-two with Graveson, he entered the Chelsea half. As soon as he took a step into Chelsea's half, he was hit from behind and fell to the ground rolling twice.
"Du~" the referee blew the whistle.
It was Makelele's foul again. The referee Lilly ran over and kept warning Makelele.
In just a few minutes of the game, there were two fouls. Lilly kept telling him to be smaller and he would have to take out the card next time.
For the next ten minutes or so, the two sides went back and forth, constantly competing in the midfield.
There are almost no good offensive opportunities. The two sides basically grab the ball. After grabbing the ball, they counterattack, and then the other side counterattacks. If the counterattack fails, it is a foul.
In the first 20 minutes, referee Lilly had already shown 4 yellow cards, 2 for each side. Chelsea's side is Makelele and Lampard. After Makelele was warned at the beginning, although his movements were somewhat restrained, he still received a yellow card after a foul.
Here at Leeds United are Buck and Mattison. After Buck came on the field today, he stood parallel to Gravesson when defending, playing a double midfielder configuration. When attacking, he stood a little ahead of Gravesson. The main team's The backcourt conduction still relies on Graveson. Buck was mainly used as a buffer in front of Gravesen when dealing with Chelsea's counterattack. The previous yellow card was when he saw Robben break through and saw Robben facing Gravesen directly. Ben got it when he was down. Because compared to Graveson, it is okay that he received a yellow card. If Graveson received it, Graveson's defense may not be able to let go in the next few dozen minutes.
Although the two teams were fighting passionately on the court, the two coaches behaved differently off the court.
Mourinho kept shouting, asking the team to attack and defend, and sometimes danced and jumped up and down.
However, George Li did not react so much here. There were some temporary tactical arrangements. He would call out the name of a certain player, and then when he saw the player looking back at him, he would make a gesture. Finally, after the player understood, he Give another thumbs up or nod.
The game lasted 34 minutes.
Leeds United got a chance here. Chelsea's right back Ferreira dribbled the ball in the backcourt and passed the ball to Thiago. Davis suddenly broke out and intercepted the ball.
After Davis got the ball, he made a through pass and passed it to Van Persie who appeared behind Terry. Van Persie took a step forward and tried to shoot with his left foot. Cech fell to the ground with a side jump.
But unexpectedly, Van Persie faked a move and dunked past Cech with his left foot.
Then he pushed into the empty net.
1 to 0.
Van Persie excitedly ran to the corner flag to celebrate, then turned around to greet his teammates who were running towards him.
His teammates stopped halfway and looked behind Van Persie.
Van Persie turned around and saw the linesman holding the flag in his hand, indicating that the goal just now was offside.
Mourinho, who had been jumping on the sidelines, applauded excitedly after seeing the goal cancelled.
And George Li had just hugged Casper. After the hug, he saw that the goal was cancelled, and pushed Casper away.
"Both coaches gave us a demonstration of what it means to change faces," said Dak, the on-site commentator for Sky TV.
"Yes, so far in the first half, this is Van Persie's second shot, but unfortunately it was offside." Dak's partner Taylor said.
"Both sides actually didn't have any great opportunities, and they both focused on defense."
"Yes, here at Chelsea, we couldn't see the first two mercury-filled attacks. On Leeds United's side, the frontcourt pressure they have insisted on this season is not too fierce. There is a gap between the number of people and the intensity of the pressure before."
"Both sides are afraid of the other side's counterattack, because the counterattacks on both sides are very sharp."
"Yes, let's look at the ball possession ratio. Leeds United's is 55%, which is ten percentage points higher than Chelsea's 45%."
"These were mostly passes between Gravesen and the two centre-backs."
"Yes, because we know at Leeds United that he is fierce in the frontcourt, so when attacking in position, we will add some conduction in the backcourt to give the frontcourt a proper rest, or let the frontcourt run out of space."
"Leeds United's two full-backs rarely intervened today. As soon as the ball reached the midfield, Chelsea started to attack."
"Both sides competed fiercely in the midfield...Lampard...long shot..." Taylor suddenly saw Lampard getting the ball outside the penalty area and immediately shouted out.
It's a pity that Lampard hit the ball high.
This was also the last shot of the first half for both sides. For nearly 10 minutes, neither side had a chance to shoot.
Leeds United was conducting the ball from the backcourt and Chelsea didn't grab it, but once the ball reached the midfield, Chelsea began to tighten the press.
Chelsea, on the other hand, first focuses on defense and then looks for opportunities to counterattack. But today, Leeds United invested a lot of force in their own half defense, so Chelsea's counterattacks were loud and clear.
In the last minute of stoppage time in the first half, Gudjohnsen got the ball during Chelsea's counterattack and pushed the ball back to Lampard. With the previous lesson, Leeds United did not dare to let Lampard take a shot. Opportunity.
Buck seized the opportunity to block it, but was fooled by Lampard's fake shot. Lampard saw Buck stretching his leg and buckled it.
After Lampard dunked Buck, he directly put his legs to Buck's feet and then fell to the ground.
"du~"
"Fall, he fell." Buck defended himself immediately.
The referee showed Buck a yellow card.
Two yellows turned into one red, and Buck was sent off at the end of the first half.
"Referee, he dived, he fell to the ground on his own." Today, Leeds United captain Kelly stepped forward to argue with the referee.
Other Leeds United players gathered around him, and two people came to Lampard who was on the ground.
"You liar, you flopped, go tell the referee yourself." Van Persie stared at Lampard.
Lampard ignored him and adjusted his socks on the ground.
"Wait for me." Smith looked at Lampard fiercely.
The referee did not change the decision, but insisted on ejecting Buck.
Lampard put the ball in position and prepared to take the set kick himself.
Lampard may have felt guilty and hit the ball with an anti-aircraft cannon into the stands behind the Leeds United goal.
Then the referee blew the whistle for halftime.
