The FA Cup match between Middlesbrough and Leeds United has entered the second half.
The score on the court was 2 to 1.
The two sides were tied in the first half, and then at the start of the second half, Middlesbrough attacked through the middle and scored a goal from Jakub in an offside attack, taking the lead again.
After taking the lead, Middlesbrough began to shrink their formation and no longer chose to attack. They waited for Leeds United to take the initiative to attack but failed to counterattack.
"It's good to play like this. Eddie is really good. He played like this against Middlesbrough in just 5 days with a lineup that was not the main player."
Brian Kidd couldn't contain his admiration for Eddie Howe in his words.
"At least I didn't dare to offer to coach the game. You all looked at me and I wanted to hide." Sheridan also told the truth. He was indeed not suitable to be a head coach.
The remaining people all said that Eddie Howe was very capable.
"You really think Eddie can't win?"
George Li, the only one who continued to wear a mask in the second half, spoke. Several other people who accompanied him for half the performance couldn't continue anymore and took off their masks during the intermission.
Everyone started to look at him suspiciously.
George Li rolled his eyes at a few people and continued.
"He has already replaced Kuyt just now. He must have his own considerations, right?"
10 minutes ago, Eddie Howe made two substitutions, replacing Andy Gray with Kuyt and replacing Danny Rose with Baynes.
Although they are using substitute players, it is impossible not to let Eddie Howe be substituted, right? And the coaching staff agreed with Eddie Howe's understanding requirements.
Even after 45 minutes, if Eddie Howe wanted to remove the three starters today and replace them with the main players of the three teams, George Lee and the others would not have any objection.
Not to mention Eddie, you can't afford to lose or anything like that.
"JR!"
Eddie Howe shouted to Jan Arnesen who was warming up.
Finally, the cards he had hidden for almost an entire game were about to be played.
What Eddie Howe wants is not just to casually direct a game and be done with it.
He wants to win, he wants to win this game so bad. Through recent tactical arrangements and team training, he has found that he likes this feeling.
When I was a player, I played as a defender and had to endure the impact of the opposing forwards. Now that I am a coach, I can constantly change methods to let my players attack the opponent's defender and cause them trouble.
"After a while, you go up, play on the left, and let me blow their left. Then pass the ball to the following player in the middle, or Kuyt. Do you understand?"
"Understood, I'll score one for you. Coach Eddie, thank you for the pizza."
"Go quickly. If you win, I'll treat you to food."
Eddie Howe patted Arneson and told him to come on quickly and make good use of the last 10 minutes.
After Arneson came on, he was replaced by Bowyer. Howe pulled Pedersen back to the center and cooperated with Sigurdsson to continue to create threats in front of the penalty area.
The players on both sides, who had played the whole game, were almost exhausted. At this time, the three new players Leeds United replaced in the second half all had very clear purposes.
Baynes came on to fill Danny Rose's defensive holes. The 17-year-old Rose did not perform well at the left back position today, and he was largely responsible for the first goal conceded.
But no one will blame him. After all, just being able to play is a success.
Maybe Ben Thatcher wouldn't be as good as Danny Rose.
Replacing Kuyt is to strengthen the offense. Whether it is on the wing or in the middle, whether it is overhead or kicking, whether with or without the ball, Kuyt can do it well.
As for Jan Arnesen.
Eddie Howe just means, I'm going to use him to penetrate you. Cooperate with Baines behind him, Kuyt in front of him, Pedersen and Sigurdsson beside him.
In a word, Eddie Howe told you, it's clear.
I'm going to attack, I'm going to attack from the left.
Can you Middlesbrough catch it? Can Southgate catch it?
the answer is negative.
Middlesbrough's defense collapsed in the final moments of the game.
In the 84th minute of the game, Arnesen went one-on-one with Taylor, completed a breakthrough and entered the penalty area.
Then rush to distribute the ball to the center before the central defender can defend.
After Pederson got the ball, he made a shot.
Middlesbrough's defense was all attracted to the left side of the center, while there were no Middlesbrough defensive players at all in the area a little to the right in front of the penalty area.
After Pederson saw that everyone was being tricked, he pushed the ball to the right again.
A man wearing a white No. 30 jersey can hit a powerful long-range shot.
The ball passed between Schwarzer's hands and flew into the goal, setting off a wave of white waves on the net.
2 to 2.
The home fans in the stadium saw the feeling of Chelsea No. 8 and Liverpool No. 8 from this shot.
In fact, there is one person in the Premier League who can give people this feeling, and that is Alan Smith, who is currently hugging others on the Leeds United bench.
It's just that Smith's position changes frequently this season, so it's relatively rare this season to hit the target from behind.
After scoring the goal, Sigurdsson was extremely excited and took off his jersey to reveal a vest with writing on it.
"Edmondson, I scored before you."
Although Sigurdsson has only been at Leeds United for more than a month and has spent most of his time playing in the reserve team, this does not prevent Sigurdsson from making good friends in the reserve team.
An Icelander, a Faroe Islander. The two of them had no other fellow players on the team, so they naturally played together.
So this time Sigurdsson was called up to the first team, he was already ready to write this sentence. If he scores a goal, he can show it generously. What does a yellow card mean?
This is not only a show off to friends, but also an encouragement to friends.
After the goal, Leeds United became excited again, completely forgetting their fatigue, and kept harassing the Middlesbrough ball-carrying players.
In the 89th minute of the game, there was another midfield scramble. Three Leeds United midfielders blocked Middlesbrough's Argentinian midfielder Alka in a small area and completed the steal.
Patton didn't think much after getting the ball, he looked up and looked for Arnesen.
After seeing the person, he passed it directly to Arnesen.
Middlesbrough's right midfielder Morrison discovered the passing intention and wanted to stop it. But his feet were weak and he really didn't have the energy to sprint for the ball.
Arneson got the ball and found Taylor again one-on-one. There was no extra movement, just trying to use speed to pass Taylor.
Taylor wanted to defend, but he had no strength. In the end, because of the deformation of his defensive movements, he tripped Arneson in the penalty area while stretching his legs.
"NICE! Win!" George Li jumped up from his stool and took off his mask.
Show your cards, stop pretending.
Killer!
All the Middlesbrough players signaled Arnesen to dive.
Only Taylor sat on the ground like an idiot, burying his head between his knees.
He knew that he had indeed tripped Arnesen. He wanted to defend well, but he really had no strength.
The opponent was too fast and passed by in one step, and this was already the third time in ten minutes. There is absolutely no way, either a foul or a pass.
Kuyt already had the ball in his hands, waiting for the referee's final decision.
Although everyone in Middlesbrough was protesting and trying to get the referee to take back the penalty, it was almost impossible.
Southgate had already turned away, not daring to look at the referee's final decision.
The penalty kick at this time basically sentenced Middlesbrough to death.
11 teams with all substitutes as starters, and one team led by an assistant coach who has just been an assistant coach for a few months. In this way, Middlesbrough won. This blow was a big blow to Southgate.
Although there is still a slight possibility that the referee will withdraw the penalty or the opponent misses the penalty kick, Southgate no longer wants to think about it.
Lost, completely lost.
Kuyt waited until all the Middlesbrough team had dispersed before putting the ball on the penalty spot.
Schwarzer kept shaking his hands, trying to interfere with Kuyt.
But the Dutch forward was completely unaffected and steadily pushed the ball to the center.
Schwarzer made the wrong judgment and pounced to the right. When he realized that the direction was wrong, it was too late to change his center of gravity.
3 to 2.
Leeds United finally completed the victory.
"Go and shake hands later, and ask Viduka if he would like me to give him two occlusive injections for injection?"
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, George Lee came to Eddie Howe to take care of him.
In the second half, during a scramble, Joey Barton kicked Viduka in the calf, and Viduka was subsequently substituted.
How could George Lee miss this opportunity to taunt Viduka after the game? After all, although he was not the winner today, Leeds United was the winner.
