Belletti is really old.
He was born in 1976 and is now 32 years old. The attacking right back who was full of energy, decisive tackles and extremely efficient in Barcelona, today he has been defending Bale and Arnesen on the right side of Chelsea for more than 80 minutes, even if He didn't attack frequently today, but constantly dealing with Arnesen's cuts and Bale's cuts exhausted all his energy.
This time, he watched Arnesen reach out to Van der Sar for the ball, and then began to accelerate and break through with the ball in front of him. Belletti wanted to defend, but his heavy legs prevented him from starting again.
In the blink of an eye, Arnesen used his last bit of physical strength to launch Leeds United's final counterattack.
Although Arnesen is relatively young, he also ran almost a whole game. The intensive schedule and high-intensity competition made him, who is not known for his endurance, feel that he is at the end of his strength.
But even so, he still wanted to try his best.
"Asshole, go after him."
Belletti heard his coach's loud shout on the sidelines and once again tried to chase Arneson who was getting further and further away from him.
But in Belletti's eyes, Arnesen's figure became smaller and smaller, and the distance from him gradually grew.
Even Bale, who was behind Arnesen, caught up with and overtook Belletti after cutting in from behind.
On the other side, after passing Belletti, Arnesen chose to go to the center towards the opposite direction of Chelsea's penalty area. At this time, he no longer chooses to go down. At this time, he cannot pin his hopes on his teammates' penalty area, but must use his last strength to hit the goal.
Arnesen felt tired, but he knew that the opposite Chelsea players were also tired.
After making a diagonal breakthrough to the middle, Arnesen was faced with Makelele's defense.
The French defensive midfielder came to defend Arnesen from the other side, and the two almost collided with each other.
After the physical contact, Arneson was only hit and his center of gravity was unstable. Instead, Makelele fell to the ground. This is not because Arnesen is too strong, but because Makelele was afraid of a foul and deliberately stopped his force before the collision. This could not only stop Arnesen's attack, but also avoid fouls.
Unexpectedly, after a whole game of fighting and running, Makelele failed to control his body well. When he finally retracted his strength, he was a little too strong. Instead, he made an emergency stop and knocked himself to the ground.
After adjusting his center of gravity, Arnesen continued to break through. After getting rid of two defensive players in a row, he completely took action and never looked back. He was already red-eyed. Facing Chelsea's back line was in a state of non-stop.
But no matter how excited Arnesen was at this time, he still made an oversight.
If it were Arnesen who had just started the game, he would have passed the ball directly past Chelsea's central defender, and then accelerated past himself. Even if he can't get past Terry and Carvalho, he can create a set piece in front of the opponent's penalty area.
In that case, the team's set-piece experts such as Pedersen and Bell will have a chance to hit the goal.
But after Arneson took the ball out, he found that he could no longer get up to speed. The ball was kicked to the right by Terry who was sideways in front of him, which was the direction of Carvalho.
Finally, his legs gave out and he slid forward on his knees.
Carvalho on the side was also uncomfortable. The ball rolled towards him, but Kuyt, who had just responded to the team's attack from the left, had been pushing forward. Finally, when Terry kicked the ball away, he also We rushed to the vicinity of Carvalho to fight for the ball.
Don't dare to be careless at all. This is the only thing that the Portuguese central defender can think of at this time. He must choose a safe way to deal with the ball.
He wouldn't dare to think about protecting the ball by himself. It would be a sin if Kuyt couldn't protect the ball.
It is unthinkable to pass the ball back to Cudicini. This will also cause danger. If the goalkeeper is still far away from his position, there is also the risk of Kuyt snatching the ball away.
At the same time, there was no time left for him to look behind him.
Carvalho could only choose to pass the ball back to Terry, because by this time Arnesen had slipped to the ground.
So when Carvalho passed the ball back to Terry, he used a little too much force, thinking of passing it to Terry's right side, the side without Arnesen. This is a safer way.
Terry only needs to move a little to the right to control the ball and avoid Leeds United's attack.
Is the situation really what Carvalho thinks?
Arnesen, who had slipped to the ground, tried to get up again to grab the ball, but the weakness in his calves made him lie on the ground again and again without getting up.
He watched the ball roll past him and past Terry, who then turned right to chase the ball.
"Damn it!"
Arneson lamented that it would have been better if he had not fallen to the ground.
In this way, he can still try to grab the ball and prevent Terry from chasing the ball.
However, Arnesen immediately saw an unbelievable scene.
Bell, who was behind him before, also reached the football position and brought the ball into the penalty area one step ahead. Terry did not get the ball.
Not only Arnesen is running forward, but also Kuyt who has just come forward, Robben and Black on the right, and Pedersen in the middle who has reached the top of the penalty area.
All Leeds United players were running forward for this last attack.
Even though the team now has one less player, they still use a wider range of running to make up for this shortcoming.
Of course, Bell is also forward.
Leeds United's No. 3, after bringing the ball into the penalty area, came to the small penalty area.
At this time, Bell could no longer see Cudicini attacking, only the goal.
In his eyes, the goal is as broad as the sea, without a trace of waves.
Swing your legs.
Hit the door.
The ball was kicked by Bell's left foot and flew to the lower right corner of the goal.
And Bell fell to the ground after using up his last bit of strength.
He wanted to see if the ball went in, but after rolling forward on the ground, he lay on his back. After turning his body to the right again, he raised his left hand and looked at the football again.
But the angle at which Cudicini was sitting on the ground just blocked his view of the football, and he couldn't see clearly whether the ball went in or not.
However, it didn't matter that he couldn't see it. He saw Kuyt running to the goal and leaping high with his hands outstretched in surprise. At the same time, the Elland Road stadium erupted with a shocking sound.
"It should be in." Bell thought.
Then he lay weakly on the grass and looked at the sky on the court.
Immediately, apart from the gray sky, the faces of teammates began to appear one after another.
Leeds United players began to jump on Bale one by one, pinning him down.
^^^
"du~dudu~"
After the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, most of the players from both teams chose to fall directly to the ground. They were too tired.
After George Lee and Grant shook hands on the sidelines, they began to enter the court to care about the team members.
There is another game like this at Stamford Bridge.
There was another handshake like this at Stamford Bridge.
