After the start of the second half, Leeds United regained a little feeling.
At least the offense can be played, but it always feels like it's just a little bit behind.
When the game reached the 61st minute, Parker once again passed the ball to Smith. After Smith got the ball, he started to look up and look around, trying to find someone nearby to take the ball.
But the Chelsea player Lampard behind him suddenly bumped into Smith from behind, and then Smith staggered, rushed forward two steps, and finally fell to the ground.
This is a physical contact. Generally speaking, whether or not the call is made depends on the mood of the referee on duty today.
Today's referee Foye chose not to call the call and signaled the game to continue.
At this time, Lampard had already taken the ball and continued to attack, leaving Smith sitting on the ground and spreading his hands.
After seeing that the referee made no comment, Smith dropped to the ground.
Then at this time, I heard the referee blow the whistle.
"What?"
After hearing this, Smith looked up.
Seeing Lampard fall to the ground, Leeds United No. 5 on the side was raising his hands, looking very innocent.
And a bald man was explaining something to the referee.
Then, today's starters Grenchar and Romedal ran over to see Smith's condition. When they saw that there was no problem, they pulled Smith up.
However, just when Smith stood up, he immediately felt someone push him behind him.
"What are you thinking about?" The visitor looked very angry.
Smith was about to get angry when he immediately recognized that the speaker was his good brother Robin van Persie and pushed him.
"Robin, what are you doing!"
"What are you doing!" Van Persie was obviously more angry than Smith. "Look what you are doing. Everyone wants to play well, but what about you? What are you doing?"
"I..." Smith was asked, "What am I doing?"
"In normal times, if that naughty No. 8 dared to do this, you would have rushed up to him." Van Persie pointed to Lampard who was lying on the ground over there.
Maybe Van Persie wasn't relieved yet, so he picked up his hand and patted Smith's face, but it wasn't as hard as a slap.
"Look there, Comrade Captain!" Van Persie pointed to Parker again.
Leeds United's No. 5 was just shown a yellow card by the referee for a foul on Lampard.
"Wake up, Alan."
Smith looked at Van Persie and thought of the days when his good brothers walked with him after his breakup last season. At that time, Van Persie kept hanging out with him and even took him on vacation in the Netherlands.
He saw Graveson still arguing with the referee, and thought of the two seasons they had played together since they became midfield partners, and the two had a tacit understanding of each other. Graveson also taught him how to play cards, but Smith didn't learn it.
He saw Parker walking away in despair after receiving the yellow card, the Leeds United No. 5 who agreed to go to Germany with him to represent England in the World Cup in the summer. Just now, he helped himself to defend, so he received a yellow card.
He saw Kelly sitting on the bench again. It was the usually funny and humorous former captain who solemnly handed the captain's armband to his hand.
Finally, he saw the head coach on the sidelines, the head coach who trusted him and tolerated him. Just now during midfield, he was scolded, but it seemed that all his teammates listened, except for him, although he knew that most of the coach's words were meant for him.
Players, captains, and spiritual leaders were fighting outside the stadium, which had a bad impact on the team. Faced with the media's massive reports and hype, Smith was lost.
"If you had known it would be like today, you wouldn't have poured that bucket of water on me then."
This sentence was like the bucket of water being poured on Smith, completely waking him up.
At this time, the referee who had finished handling the matter over there ran over because he also discovered the situation here. The other players around were looking at Smith and Van Persie.
They even saw Van Persie hitting Smith in the face.
"You two, I wonder if you can change places if you want to quarrel."
The referee today has a good temper, otherwise he might have given other rewards to these two people.
It's not like it hasn't happened before.
Just last season, during Newcastle's match against Aston Villa, former Leeds United player Lee Bowyer was dissatisfied with his teammate Kieron Dale for not passing the ball to him. The two had a dispute on the pitch, and then the teammates There was a big fight. In the end both received a red card and were sent off.
The other members of the Leeds United coaching staff and substitute players on the sidelines were all worried.
Fights between teammates are generally difficult to occur, because the two sides are teammates who look up and cannot lower their heads. Once a fight breaks out, generally speaking, it cannot be resolved without one of the parties leaving the team. Moreover, fighting among teammates is equivalent to showing the conflicts within the team in front of everyone. They all say that family scandals should not be made public, which clearly tells everyone that we are a disunited team.
"Is anything going to happen?" Kidd asked worriedly.
"No." George Li replied affirmatively.
At midfield just now, George Li noticed that after he finished speaking, the morale of the other players increased, but Smith was still like that, so he thought that Smith might not have come out yet.
At this time, the best solution is to let Smith score a goal and vent. For example, Leeds United gets a penalty kick and asks Smith to take it. After the penalty is scored, the problem can basically be solved.
However, the problem now is that Leeds United has no way to cause damage in Chelsea's penalty area, let alone penalty kicks.
Therefore, when scoring a goal, it is up to Smith himself.
When the game resumed, Chelsea took a set kick in the frontcourt. After Lampard took the ball, the ball flew into the penalty area. Albuchesson grabbed the opportunity before Drogba and headed the ball away.
After seeing this, George Lee nodded with satisfaction. If Albuchesson loses again in the confrontation with Drogba, George Lee will probably seriously consider whether Albuchesson will stay after the end of the season. It's not a matter of contract renewal.
Now there are many players in Leeds United who were introduced after George Lee became the head coach. The two seasons are about to end, and it is time to start renewing their contracts. Most of these players will receive salary increases due to their outstanding performance and team's record.
Returning to the game, after the ball was pushed away, it came to the feet of Gravesen. Gravesen seized the opportunity and found the team's winger Glenchar.
The Dane didn't stop the ball and went straight past Gremi who was on the ball and into the opponent's half.
Then I saw Smith moving forward.
The ball was inserted between Chelsea's two central defenders.
At that time, Gallas was preparing to cover up Glenchard, while Terry was attracted by Robin van Persie, so the middle position was left relatively large, which created an opportunity for Smith to intervene.
Facing the incoming ball, Smith began to adjust his pace and prepare to hit the goal.
At this time, Terry had given up on Van Persie and rushed over to defend Smith.
Smith saw that if he hit the goal at this time, he would definitely be blocked by Terry, so he prepared to lean against Terry with his body and then hit the goal.
Terry rushed up and bumped into Smith solidly, harder than Lampard had just hit him.
But Smith didn't fall.
In fact, if Smith falls into the penalty area at this time, the referee will most likely choose to award a penalty kick.
However, Smith gritted his teeth and instead of falling down, he hit Terry back, knocking Terry out of his feet.
Smith adjusted again, faced the attacking Cech, and fired a full shot with his left foot.
Because it was too close, Cech could not react no matter how powerful he was. He could only take a gamble and chose to block the near corner.
The ball flew past Cech's scalp.
Cech was not wearing a helmet at this time, so he could clearly see the feeling of the ball flying over his head, like a strong wind blowing, at least a strong wind of level 8 or above.
2 to 1.
After scoring the goal, Smith didn't even look at the referee. He ran directly to the corner and came to the Leeds United fans, looking up to the sky and roaring.
"Roar!"
The Leeds United captain is back.
