Leeds United made their second substitution at the 59th minute of the game, replacing Grenchar with Dervish.
When Glenchar came to the sidelines, he hugged George Lee. He played equally well today.
"Boss, you are serious. I thought you were joking with me during halftime."
"Yes, I'm just kidding you, it's not 15 minutes, it's 14 minutes."
Today, George Li made up his mind to play on the wing of Roma.
In the first half, Romedal and Grencia were played, and Spalletti will definitely make adjustments to target these two wingers in the midfield.
But Li was also prepared. Aren't you going to defend my two wings? I will continue to play on the wings, but I put on two different players. Through half-time adaptation, you understand the characteristics of my players. , I will give you two different ones to let you experience it again.
After Derwig came on the field, Leeds United decisively focused their attack on the left. Derwig switched to the left only after Derwig came back. He had been playing on the right before.
But Leeds United's right wing is really overcrowded. Even Robin van Persie switched to the right wing, and Lee George even loaned Lennon out. Therefore, Derwig tried to start playing on the left wing at Lee George's suggestion.
The Roma team made another passing error in the midfield. Scott Parker just grabbed the football, and then his teammate Gravesen took the ball away directly.
Graveson took the ball two steps to near the center circle, then crossed it to Smith on the right.
At this time, Roma's defense began to retreat, and De Rossi began to press Smith.
Smith flicked the ball to the right before De Rossi stretched out his foot, and then passed it to Milner who came in.
Chivu immediately stopped retreating and teamed up with De Rossi to surround Milner. But Milner was smart and did not use his speed to try to break through Chivu. The Romanian had already suffered a loss on the wing today. He deliberately stayed to the left to defend. If Milner wanted to pass from his left, he could completely use the sideline to block it. The position was stuck, preventing Milner from passing through this small space. On his right is De Rossi to help defend, and Mancini in front is also retreating.
Milner moved the ball directly across the entire football field to Derwig on the left.
There, Panucci completely retreated to a position parallel to the center back, so Derwig unloaded the ball calmly.
Then Derwig's next move shocked everyone. He moved the ball forward, faced Panucci who came up to defend, pedaled three bicycles in a row, and then tried to use his speed to wipe it from the left.
But he underestimated Panucci. After the football passed by, Panucci blocked Derwig's path with his body and knocked Derwig off the sideline.
Derwig staggered forward two steps, and finally fell. After he fell, the ball he passed Panucci also rolled out of the baseline because it did not touch.
The linesman raised his flag to signal Roma's throw-in, but the referee blew his whistle to signal Panucci for a foul.
"Fxxk you! Did you do this on purpose?" Derwig immediately got up and went to find Panucci who had knocked him away. He had clearly felt that Panucci had raised his butt and nudged him when he was stuck in his position.
When Panucci heard Derwig scolding him in the first sentence, he didn't care about it. Anyway, he was a native Italian and couldn't understand this English with a Norwegian accent, but the previous sentence was a universal language in the world. If you understand, then follow Derwig over to argue with the cow chest to chest.
Today's referee is also aware of the habits of Leeds United players. Before the game, the superiors specifically mentioned that the players here at Leeds United have quite aggressive tempers. Most of the German referees on duty quickly pulled the two people away before other players came over.
Then he warned Panucci not to take any additional actions, and warned Derwig not to cause conflicts and to restrain his temper.
"Nas, Nas."
George Li stood on the sidelines and called Derwig, and Derwig looked up at him.
"Stop riding the bicycle, just click on it and use your speed to pass him."
Derwig knew that the coach was angry. During midfield, he heard his head coach talking about riding a bicycle when he was young, and he wanted to give it a try. He used to use speed to break through opponents, but after a serious injury last season, he felt that his speed was not as fast as before. Others may not feel it, but he can feel it himself, because when he breaks through He couldn't concentrate all his energy on sprinting, so he had to save some energy to pay attention to his surroundings.
Or to put it simply, I have some concerns after returning from injury.
Derwig quickly signaled to the coach that he would not do this, and then ran away.
"What happened to him?" Brian Kidd asked Colin McGee.
"After the injury, his speed dropped, not as fast as before." McGee told Kidd.
"What does this have to do with him riding a bicycle?"
"He is originally a very traditional winger, but a winger is no longer a traditional winger without speed. Maybe after hearing the words at halftime, he should be looking for changes."
"He's over the top. He just started riding a bicycle when he was 21 years old. He didn't know that when he was 21 years old, George realized that riding a bicycle was useless and stopped riding."
On the field, Leeds United still used the wings to launch offense, but due to the lack of cooperation between Davis, Milner and Derwig, the offense was hindered.
Rome also took advantage of this opportunity and launched a counterattack.
Chivu got the ball in the backcourt and made a long pass to Mancini in front.
Mancini seemed to be provoked by Derwig's previous actions, and began to pedal his bicycle facing Mills. Although the Brazilian's bike was faster and more dazzling than Derwig's, it was completely destroyed by Mills.
After stepping on the last bicycle, Mancini used his right foot to move horizontally, trying to create space to hit the door with his right foot, but Mills stretched out his left foot to destroy it.
But Mills used too much force, so the ball rolled far away and was caught by De Rossi, who was following up with Roma.
De Rossi, who was wearing the captain's armband today, made a through ball with his left foot and found the gap between Albchesson and Mills, where Montella successfully countered offside.
Montella didn't even stop the ball and just flicked it with his left foot. The ball passed between Van der Sar's legs and rolled slowly into the goal.
3 to 1.
Roma got a goal back. After scoring the goal, Montella stopped making glider movements and quickly took the ball out of the goal, wondering if he could score another goal.
George Li looked at Montella running back and shouted to the people warming up in the distance.
"Robin."
^^^
In the 73rd minute of the game, Robin van Persie came on, replacing Kevin Davis.
In the 84th minute of the game, Robin van Persie scored and the score was 4-1.
Van Persie became Lee's last card against Roma. Mexes and Bovo followed Kevin Davis and ran straight up and down for the whole game. They never expected that the forwards coming up from behind would come out from the side.
Before the goal, Milner took the ball from the right and cut in, leading Chivu towards the center. Then Milner passed the ball to Smith in front of the penalty area, and Smith passed it to the position where Chivu was supposed to be defending.
Van Persie appeared there by accident, and then faced the goalkeeper directly from a small angle on the right side.
In the end, Van Persie scratched the ball with his left foot, stepped on a bicycle, and deceived Doni. Then use your right foot to go to the baseline, and finally send the ball into the goal when there is almost no angle.
George Li was also a little helpless, blaming himself for being too talkative and mentioning riding bicycles. Now everyone has to pedal one or two, and the ball almost didn't kick in.
In the end, Leeds United won the first round of the Europa League with a big score of 4-1 at home.
Poor Roma only managed one away goal from Elland Road and a couple of potentially disappointing cycling highlights.
