In this way, several times after the opening, Sevilla seized Leeds United's left wing Baines and attacked their right wing.
Navas made many breakthroughs and sometimes made passes.
Then, due to the interference from the defender, the cross would be pushed out by the Leeds United center back or confiscated by Edwin van der Sar. In short, the effect was not very good.
However, Navas is more likely to cut inside. Although he is not very good at this, because Baines was defending his right side today, the space would be a bit large, so Navas cut inside. However, the effect was not obvious, because today Leeds United's two midfielders kept going back to defend Navas, preventing him from going to the center.
Just when Sevilla head coach Juande Ramos was considering whether to switch to the left and look for Adriano.
The situation on the field suddenly changed.
Navas once again chose to cut inside, but was immediately bumped by Matteisson who came up from the edge. The thin Spanish winger was staggered by the bump.
Seeing that the football was about to lose control, it was snatched away by Graveson in front, so he quickly knocked the ball away without letting the football get away from him.
Realizing that he was about to be double-teamed, Navas could only choose to pass the ball to Alves who was on the right. However, he did not choose the intensity of the pass well. His intention was too obvious and he was beaten by Bayern who had been waiting for a long time. Enns intercepted the ball.
After stealing the ball, Baines directly moved the ball forward, one position ahead of Alves behind him.
At this time, Sevilla's right wing was empty.
Bynes can go straight in.
However, after catching up with the ball, Baynes deliberately did not speed up again, but slowed down. When Marty in the middle came over to defend, he used his left foot directly behind Marty.
Leeds United captain Alan Smith suddenly burst out from the center to the left and received the football.
At the same time, it attracted Sevilla's defense in the middle to fill the hole on the right.
"I want you to deliberately let Sevilla's right wing attack. Jesus Navas is a very traditional winger. You can't let him get too comfortable or cross. If you can, Leyton You can put him in the middle. In this case, first of all, he is not good at cutting inside, so our defense can be simpler; secondly, if he cuts inside, then Alves will move forward and occupy their right side. Road. It will be much easier for us to fight back at this time."
This was requested by George Li when he arranged tactics for the players before the game, and was also the result of discussion by the coaching staff.
After the start, the players on the Leeds United field executed this plan very well. Except for the first two times when Baines' acting was too obvious and Lee George felt a bit fake, everything else was executed very well.
When Leeds United attacks, they mainly control the rhythm and wait for opportunities.
Although there was constant pressure in the frontcourt, the defense on the left was really on high alert and did not rush forward rashly.
It was also at the 27th minute of the game that I seized an opportunity.
After Smith got the ball on the left, he quickly broke through with the ball and attracted the defense of the opponent's center back Navarro.
Leeds United's two forwards went to Sevilla's penalty area to create threats.
At this time, Sevilla only had one central defender, Escud, in the penalty area.
"Come back, come back." Goalkeeper Palop loudly called other players to come back and defend.
"Back off and go to the penalty area." This was the voice of Sevilla's head coach.
Leeds players are pushing forward and Sevilla players are tracking back.
The difference is that Sevilla's retreat is blind, while Leeds United's advance here is organized, disciplined, and even premeditated.
Parker was not very fast when he pushed forward. After seeing Mills and Matteisen behind him in place, he speeded up and pushed forward. Then he saw Milner moving from the right to the center with his peripheral vision, so he started to move a little to the left.
Gravesen was running and stopping, trying to contain the opponent's midfielder's retreat speed.
However, Smith, who was on the wing, couldn't wait any longer. Seeing the Sevilla players rushing back, he started to pass.
In the penalty area, when Smith started to kick, Van Persie came to the front point from the day after tomorrow and looked like he was going to grab the front point.
Escud hurried to the defense.
It's just that they were all deceived. Smith's cross with the inside of his right foot arced around the right. Instead of flying towards the goal, it passed through the penalty spot and flew to the back point.
Kevin Davis, who is strong and has good ability to grab points, firmly held Sevilla's left back David with his elbow and took off first.
When the ball flew in front of him, hit him with his forehead.
By the time Palop rushed from the front point to the back point, it was already too late.
He could only watch the ball fly into his own door.
"Goooooooal!!! Perfect counterattack from Leeds United, Kevin Davis scored a goal."
"Leeds United scored the first goal and led 1-0."
Commentator Lee Dixon shouted excitedly that although he was an Arsenal player before, at this time, he was standing on the side of the England team and kept praising and praising this attack.
"Let's take a look at this wonderful goal return..."
While the commentator was explaining the goal in slow motion, Kevin Davis was celebrating the goal with his teammates.
Although his number of goals has not increased significantly since coming to Leeds United, his role is irreplaceable.
"NICE!!!"
"Well done, Kevin."
Davis came to the Leeds United fans, raised his hands, greeted the cheers of the fans, and then waited for other teammates to come over to celebrate.
The Leeds United coaches and substitute players on the sidelines also embraced and celebrated.
Van der Sar also high-fived Albucheson, who stayed in the backcourt.
Instead, here in Sevilla, Juande Ramos called the team's midfielder, Maresca, to start arranging tactics.
After the game restarted, Sevilla indeed changed the focus of their offense. They no longer attacked the right and began to attack the left and center.
Especially the attack in the middle, several times I tried to find Saviola to penetrate the middle through the passes of Maresca and Marty.
George Li smiled softly when he saw that the pass to Saviola was either intercepted or double-teamed immediately after receiving the ball.
Just standing on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, looking at the inside of the court for a while, and looking at Juande Ramos on the side.
Man, I have been preparing for this game for a whole year. I have already prepared ways to deal with your ideas. If Alves is used like this, not only will he not be able to use his offensive talents, but he will also be easily out of position defensively. As for Saviola, Li George used two defensive midfielders and three central defenders in the first half. Even if you, the "rabbit", can jump, you can't escape.
Li George thought that after scoring a goal by counterattacking from the left in the first half, he would shrink his defense and try to maintain the lead in the first half, so that the players would be more relaxed after the halftime break. Based on the situation in the first half, make some arrangements and try to score another goal in the second half to end the game.
However, things did not go according to George Li's script, and someone stole the show.
