After scoring the goal, Robben waggled his finger and ran directly to the front of the Leeds United coaching bench, and suddenly jumped on George Lee, who was already waiting for him.
At the same time, Robben, who was held high by George Lee, reached out and waved to the stands. Because he had already seen his teammates in the stands behind the coaching bench and began to celebrate with them.
"Hurry up, there will be halftime right after kick-off." Li George signaled Robben to quickly return to the field and prepare to wait for Chelsea to kick-off before entering the halftime break.
After seeing Chelsea kick off from the sidelines, the referee immediately blew the whistle. Li George also entered the locker room in advance to prepare tactics. What awaits them is an even more intense second half of the game.
^^^
After the second half of the game started, as George Li expected, the competition between the two sides became more intense. This time it is impossible to have a shot like the one in the first half where Robben passed two people and then entered the penalty area, because first of all, more frequent and tougher physical contact and fighting will not allow you to pass comfortably, and secondly, once If you succeed in passing, the opponent will immediately knock you down without hesitation to foul you.
That's right, just 15 minutes into the second half, and around 60 minutes into the game, the referee had already taken out his cards and found himself soft. Chelsea's Terry, Bridge, Lampard, and Joe Cole all received yellow cards during the second half. In addition, Kalou and Makelele, who had already received cards in the first half, Chelsea's here Six people received yellow cards.
Leeds United was not much better here. Kuyt received a yellow card shortly after the start of the second half for stretching his leg to trip someone up.
At the back, Bell was beaten behind by Chelsea because he pushed forward too aggressively. When he was chasing back, he pulled down Kalou who had already started to start, and also received a yellow card.
In short, the two teams have now seen their bayonets see red, and there is no way to retreat.
The ball was flying in the air most of the time, because as soon as it hit the ground and the game was stopped after a few passes.
After taking the lead, Leeds United no longer played as aggressively as they did in the first half, and began to tend to control the rhythm. It's just that the effect is not that good, because the starting players in the team are either good at defense or good at breakthroughs. Those who can really control the rhythm of the game are all watching the ball off the court.
After seeing the poor results, George Li was ready to try another way to break Chelsea's iron barrel formation.
Just when he was struggling with tactics again, something happened on the field that could change the situation for both parties.
In the 64th minute, Chelsea's Kalou took the ball from the right and then passed the ball to Drogba, who was backing up on the edge of the penalty area.
Drogba used his hand to push Granqvist, who was guarding him, and used the time difference to stop the ball firmly at his feet. Then the African cleverly made a fake move, turning first to the left and then immediately to the right to deceive the Leeds United center back who was defending him, and then half-stepped out to enter the penalty area.
However, just after he completed a set of moves, Leeds United midfielder Parker, who had just come over to defend, accidentally kicked his foot. This action looked like a leg-stretching trip and a leg-stretching kick. Drogba was stunned. Knocked over.
Drogba desperately chose to fall into the penalty area, trying to get a penalty kick.
"du~"
The referee didn't hesitate and blew the whistle directly.
Then he made a gesture that was confusing to all Leeds United fans, players, and coaches at the scene. He actually pointed at the penalty spot with his finger.
"ah!!!"
The whole court was in an uproar, because everyone saw that when the foul was committed, one of Drogba's feet was on the line and the other foot did not enter the penalty area. Now the referee ruled that it was a foul in the penalty area.
George Li rushed directly to the sidelines to protest with the referee. After being ignored, he went to appeal to the fourth official.
This is not the most important thing. What is even more irritating is that the referee also showed Parker the second yellow card he received in the game for the foul.
After putting away the yellow card, the referee immediately raised the red card and sent Parker off the field.
This made George Li, who was already going crazy, even more angry. He continuously protested to the fourth official about the referee's penalty, and even used some unflattering words many times, which completely destroyed his original image of a "modesty gentleman".
George Li no longer cares about his image, because this penalty may have many chain reactions on this game and the two games in this series.
First of all, this red card will affect Parker's inability to play in the next game, making George Lee's already weak lineup even more stretched; secondly, if this penalty kick is scored, Leeds United's original lead will become a draw between the two sides. Come to the next game; if this goal is scored in the end, Chelsea will get a valuable away goal.
To sum up, this referee's penalty may ruin all Leeds United's Champions League games this season.
But the referee must have the authority he deserves. If a red card is a red card, it is a red card, if a penalty kick is a penalty kick, it will not be changed.
Parker walked helplessly down the court, and was comforted by George Lee when he came to the sidelines, but this did not have any effect.
Parker returned to his seat, angrily threw the water bottle to the ground, and then went up and kicked it again.
After George Lee glanced at Parker behind him, he immediately returned his attention to the court. He had no time to worry about other people's feelings. He believed that other people in the seats would comfort the player who was sent off.
What he is more concerned about now is whether Chelsea can score the penalty kick.
"Fxxk!"
This is the first time George Lee has said this word today, because Van der Sar did not judge the direction of Lampard's penalty kick on the court, and the Chelsea player scored the penalty kick.
Do you want to replace someone?
This is a problem that George Li is facing now. The team is now sent off to a midfielder, and he may have to send another midfielder. Otherwise, he may not be able to suppress the opponent in the midfield.
But if he replaces Kuyt, a forward, then the team will not even have anyone to organize the offense.
It is even more impossible to replace the wing players, because he also wants to take advantage of Chelsea's weak offensive ability on the wing today and let his wingers and full-backs cause damage from the wing.
Looking at the players who were warming up, Li Qiaozhi was going to call Davis back and let him come on to strengthen the offense. Li George would definitely not be satisfied with the 1-1 score.
"Kevin..."
Before he finished shouting, a Leeds United player fell to the ground because of the fight with Ballack.
In the first half, there was an injury substitution after a scramble between players from both sides. At that time, Chelsea's Essien was substituted. This time it was the turn of Leeds United's players.
Joey Barton, the former Premier League villain, is now rolling on the ground desperately holding his ankles, so that the teammates surrounding him can't do anything to help him.
"Morten!"
George Lee can't let Davis play now. He needs to strengthen his midfield, otherwise the situation may collapse.
"I want you to play deeper and use long passes to find the two wings and behind the opponent's players."
At this time and in this situation, George Li can no longer use his high-position pressure and local advantages, and can only use the long pass that he once despised.
It's just that his long pass is not looking for the forward in front, but the two wingers.
