"Oops~"
Seeing that the goal did not go in, George Lee and other Leeds United coaches expressed regret, because although Leeds United played this goal very simply, this extremely simple cooperation produced a very good effect. It was just a matter of seconds that he scored and helped Leeds United take the lead.
If we can score first at this time, it will create a favorable situation for the entire game.
However, even if it is such a small difference, it is really only a matter of ten centimeters.
"Oops~"
It was also a pity that all the Leeds United fans in the stands, especially the area where Leeds United captain Alan Smith was, simply fell down.
Wallace pushed Smith away from him, then shouldered Olson away from him.
"This ball..."
"If it had been you, this ball would have gone straight in, right?"
Olson had heard Smith's stinky self-praise many times, so this time he took the initiative to say what Smith wanted to say before he could finish.
"Yes, you are so smart." Smith angrily rubbed Olsen's hair with his hands.
"Let go! Let go!" Olson's hair was about to smoke because of Smith, and he quickly begged for mercy, "I was wrong captain, let me go."
Smith also let go of his head coach's son after rubbing him a few times.
As soon as he let go, he saw that Chelsea had already started to launch a counterattack.
I saw Cudicini directly send the goal kick to the full-back Bridge, and then the full-back who had a "connection" with Terry took advantage of Leeds United while he was still immersed in Arnesen's shot. , found Joe Cole who was already in place.
Cole also followed suit and wanted to create a threat from Leeds United's ribs. When he was just about to go to the center, he found that the way had been blocked by Parker and Black. Then Bridge, who was about to intervene from the wing, was constantly followed by Robben who returned to defend.
However, this clever English midfielder still found the gap here in Leeds United.
Because Parker came to press Cole, but Button did not shorten the distance between him and Parker immediately, which gave Lampard the space and opportunity to move forward.
People come and balls come.
After receiving Cole's pass, Lampard had already passed through Leeds United's midfield and faced Leeds United's defense.
In front of him, in addition to the two central defenders of Leeds United, there is also his teammate Drogba.
The African is working hard to support Lampard. They have cooperated with each other countless times in the previous seasons.
Drogba first pretended to run to the left, attracting Albcheson's defensive attention, forcing the Danish defender to keep retreating to his right rear. After seeing that his plan was successful, Drogba started to break free and then accelerated to move to the other side, trying to draw Granqvist's defensive attention to himself.
Finally, with Drogba's unremitting efforts, the gap between Leeds United's two central defenders became a little wider.
Lampard had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. He fired angrily and the ball flew towards Leeds United's goal like a shell.
The quality of this ball was very high. Although the angle was not very tricky, because Lampard shot with great force, the ball was very fast and flew towards the left side of the goal.
Van der Sar is also experienced. He knew that it was impossible for him to save the ball, so he directly chose to hit the ball.
In the end, the ball was held out of the baseline by the Dutch goalkeeper with both hands.
After getting up, he immediately yelled at the two central defenders: "Why is he holding two people back by himself? Why don't you interfere with the one holding the ball."
Albchesson and Granqvist looked at each other. They also knew that the defense just now was caused by a problem with the cooperation between the two, and thus the opponent took advantage of the loophole.
Among them, Albuchesson also has more experience. He immediately reached out to Van der Sar to indicate that he would pay attention next time. At the same time, he took the initiative to find Granquist and whispered something into the latter's ear.
A corner kick was taken, and this time the corner kick was equally threatening. At Chelsea, Drogba, who was in the forward position, rubbed against Terry, who was waiting at the back position. Terry ignored the interference from the Leeds United players behind him and directly tried to push the ball towards the Leeds United goal with his forehead.
Because Terry was greatly disturbed by this ball, the header was not very strong and was blocked by Van der Sar's hand. Immediately after the ball hit the ground, a group of people rushed to get up. Among them, Carvalho was the closest to the ball, so he cleverly prepared to fall to the ground and poke the ball in.
Fortunately, Van der Sar, who reacted again, pressed the ball to the ground with his hand in time, and then threw himself on the ball.
After completing a series of actions, people around him gradually dispersed after seeing that the ball was under control. Especially the Chelsea players quickly started to defend. They knew that a counterattack from Leeds United would be very scary and they had to defend.
However, this time, Van der Sar did not rush to counterattack. Instead, he waited until everyone had gone away before slowly getting up. He had just made several key saves in a row with experience. Now he needs to slow down the pace of the game. Otherwise, Chelsea, whose offense has just improved, may take advantage of the situation to find a feeling.
Albcheson patted Van der Sar on the shoulder, paid tribute to the veteran goalkeeper for his outstanding performance, and then moved forward to return to his defense line.
After several attacks and defenses against each other, the two sides slowed down the rhythm again and began to fight in the midfield. At this time, someone needed to step up and score the first goal to open up the situation.
People on each side hope that the person who stands up is from their own country, but no matter what, there will only be one person who can stand up, and it cannot be one who passes on white clothes and the other who passes on blue clothes.
^^^
At the end of the first half, this key figure appeared without any warning.
Just when everyone thought it would go into halftime with a score of 0-0, Robben scored an unimaginable goal.
At that time, some fans had already started to go to the toilet, buy things and leave their seats. Just halfway through, they heard the sound in the stadium gradually getting louder, and the fans who had not left their seats stood up one by one.
Robben cooperated with Blake on the right, completely blocking Joe Cole's path. In desperation, Joe Cole's pass actually hit Robben's feet.
Robben turned around immediately, got the ball and started pushing towards the wing.
Facing Bridge who came out to defend, he changed his focus and took small steps to get rid of the opponent directly, cutting inside towards Chelsea's center.
Terry found that his teammate was out of position and left his defensive position to cover up and block Robben's cutting route. But Robben dunked with the inside of his left foot, past the Chelsea captain and into the penalty area.
When Cudicini struck, it was already a step too late and he failed to block all angles in time. Robben, who was about to lose his balance after being entered into the penalty area, completed the shot before reaching the ground.
Near corner!
The ball went in and time just ran out.
Leeds United entered the second half with a 1-0 lead thanks to Robben's goal.
