Leeds United made some changes today to face Chelsea.

beep!

The game officially begins as soon as the whistle blows.

Chelsea was the first to kick off, and Chelsea took advantage of their home court to launch a crazy attack.

Leeds United's tactics today are still the same as usual. The defense line retreats very deep to ensure that there are people from their own team in the effective area near the defense line.

Moreover, the Leeds United team's defense is very tight, and the distance between the players is also very close. This defense looks very tight.

Leeds United's defense was very pragmatic and even gave up the fight for the midfield.

It can be seen from here that Zhong Cheng respects and values ​​​​the Chelsea team, and the Leeds United man keeps his posture very low.

Scolari kept shaking his head when he saw this.

No wonder Leeds United can succeed, look at Zhong Cheng's attitude!

Most people would not be able to maintain such a humble and low profile as Zhong Cheng after Leeds United's current achievements. Although some successful people will not get carried away, they will still have some small prides and small ups and downs in their hearts. The accompanying small prides It makes them unable to lower their stature anymore.

The so-called status makes them proud, and they can no longer calm down!

Therefore, when Leeds United is so successful, Zhong Cheng can still lower his profile and do this wholeheartedly, which shows that Zhong Cheng is not simple.

Awesome, really awesome.

Scolari gave Zhong Cheng a thumbs up in his heart!

Of course, Zhong Cheng also gave Scolari a thumbs up!

It is very, very difficult to take over Chelsea now. No wonder so many good coaches still refuse Abramovich's sky-high contract. Because they know that Chelsea is a mess now, and more importantly, there is a bossy Abramovich behind them.

Not anyone dares to accept Chelsea at this time!

However, Scolari is here and is now doing well for Chelsea. Zhong Cheng admires Scolari very much.

Of course, Zhong Cheng also knows that Scolari has not completely defeated Chelsea now, because it is really too difficult.

With a bang, midfielder Chelsea directly passed the ball diagonally to the wing, and Malouda on the wing almost passed by. The Chelsea man was in some trouble as the ball was cleared by Leeds United's full-back.

Leeds United's defense was too tight and there were too many people in the defense. It was difficult for Chelsea to advance from the center to near Leeds United's penalty area. No matter where you advance, you will still face layers of people, with almost no chance.

Chelsea just kept throwing the football back and forth to the two wings. Moreover, this kick cannot be converted into a direct hit, and it has to pass through the central defender.

Yes, Chelsea are very uncomfortable right now.

Every time Chelsea attacks, they have to pass the ball back and forth in a "U" shape, passing it up from the wing. If there is no chance, it will fall back to the feet of the central defender, and then the central defender will pass the football to Another side road...

Football is flowing at the feet of Chelsea players like this!

Scolari frowned, Leeds United's frontal defense was really amazing!

At this time, Chelsea firmly controlled the football at their feet and had a long time of possession, but there was no real threat to Leeds United's offense yet.

At this point in the game, Chelsea had only one shot. Four crosses.

Yes, Chelsea are now forced to cross from the wing, but with Drogba in the air, this passing tactic is still feasible.

However, firstly, there are too many people in the penalty area of ​​Leeds United. Secondly, Leeds United's central defender is tall and has good jumping ability. Thirdly, Leeds United's defense on the wing is also very tight, and it is not easy for the Chelsea people. Crossing opportunity.

Chelsea players can pass the ball, but they are very awkward when passing the ball, and it is difficult to place the ball in the right place. It is either too short or too long, which makes Drogba very uncomfortable.

Leeds United's current tactic is defensive counterattack. It seems that they are not in a hurry.

Now is their time to defend desperately!

Scolari really kept shaking his head. Leeds United was too well prepared for this game. It was very difficult for Chelsea. Because the Leeds United people are really very tight on the Chelsea people, it is really difficult for Chelsea to make a difference.

The Chelsea fans at the scene also gasped when they saw this.

At this moment, the Leeds United team suddenly intercepted the ball in the backcourt. Center defender Kompany immediately sent the football forward, and the football rolled to the feet of midfielder Steve Mbia.

Under the pressure of Chelsea players, Steve Mbia sent the ball forward, and the ball rolled to the feet of Edinson Cavani.

Before Edinson Cavani could stop the ball, Chelsea's Frank Lampard rushed forward to intercept it.

Edinson Cavani had no chance to stop the ball. He also swept the ball forward because he saw Diego Milito who was about to move forward.

With a bang, the football hit Frank Lampard directly in the chest, and quickly shot out to the side.

Frank Lampard didn't feel any pain at all as he raced towards the ball.

But Leeds United's full-back Lichtsteiner was faster. Seeing the football rolling toward him, he gently tipped the football forward and passed it directly behind the Chelsea defense.

Diego Milito, who was lurking in the Chelsea defense, understood what he was doing and quickly turned around and accelerated towards the football.

Ricardo Carvalho, who was supposed to stick to Diego Milito's side, turned around half a beat too late and was instantly thrown away by Diego Milito.

Solo, Diego Milito scored solo.

Behind Ricardo Carvalho, Chelsea's defensive linemen John Terry and Bosingwa immediately raised their hands to indicate that Diego Milito was offside.

At this time, Ricardo Carvalho is the top central defender, and the teammates behind him should use him as a standard, fight in a straight line, and cause offside.

Just now, Ricardo Carvalho did not stick to Diego Milito, but put Diego Milito behind him. He had the intention of causing offside!

Therefore, when Diego Milito rushed out, he didn't work hard to catch up, so he was shaken off instantly and couldn't catch up.

Ricardo Carvalho thought this was an offside, a real offside.

John Terry and Bosingwa both raised their right hands, signaling to referee Diego Milito that he was offside. But Bosingwa himself felt a little guilty.

When he was offside just now, he took a slow shot. In fact, he realized that his position was a bit far back, and he immediately took a step forward, but it was still not enough.

In this way, Bosingwa was delayed at the end and was not offside!

Diego Milito ignored these, and he didn't know whether he was offside. He just chases the football crazily and sends the football into the opponent's goal first.

In fact, Diego Milito's shooter felt that he was not offside.

So he pursued football without hesitation.

"Single shot! Leeds United has gone alone, chance!" Eddie Gray roared excitedly, his voice extremely loud.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech rushed up quickly and pounced on Diego Milito crazily. All Chelsea people pinned their hopes on Petr Cech and prayed for him.

Diego Milito, who had just caught up with the football, saw Petr Cech save. He took advantage of the situation and dunked the football to the center, directly past Petr Cech!

It wasn’t that Petr Cech was slow to strike, but that Diego Milito was too fast.

Although it was just a simple dunk, but with the right time difference, Diego Milito easily dunked past Petr Cech, and then pushed the ball towards the empty goal.

After the football rolled out from Diego Milito's feet, John Terry chased it back. John Terry, who was chasing after him, didn't know whether he couldn't close his legs or had no intention of closing his legs at all. He directly landed on Diego Milito, knocking Diego Milito to the ground.

Both of them fell on the turf, and everyone in the penalty area was on their backs!

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal..." Eddie Gray immediately roared crazily, his voice reaching into the sky. Countless Leeds United fans at the scene jumped with excitement and shouted wildly.

The Leeds United fans were excited, and Stamford Bridge instantly felt like the Crown Stadium.

The Chelsea fans were a little confused, and then they reacted and shouted loudly: "Offside, this is an offside kick, offside!"

The referee pointed directly to the center circle, and the goal was valid.

In fact, the ball was not offside. The linesman saw it very clearly. Chelsea's right back Bosingwa was delayed at the end, and Chelsea made an offside error.

Yes, Bosingwa's mistake gave Leeds United a big gift!

Scolari saw the atmosphere here was very tense. He had emphasized many times before the game that he must pay attention, especially when causing offside, to be unified, to be unified, to be careful and careful, but these guys are still There was a mistake, damn it.

Of course, Leeds United played very well this time, especially Lichtsteiner's pass was the finishing touch. Perhaps Bosingwa did not expect that Lichtsteiner would directly pass the ball behind him.

Chelsea's defense just now partially surrounded the Leeds United players. It was difficult for the Leeds United players to get the ball out, so Bosingwa was a little unexpected.

Bosingwa had to bear a lot of responsibility for this goal. When he was offside, he was inconsistent with his teammates, and Leeds United seized the opportunity.

Zero to one, just eleven minutes into the game, the away team Leeds United scored. What looked like a somewhat lucky goal, Chelsea made a mistake of their own and scored a goal!

This start was really good for Zhong Cheng. Zhong Cheng himself did not expect that this start would be so smooth, even a little simple. This is really a big gift from Chelsea, otherwise this game will definitely be a very difficult game.

Zhong Cheng reminded the Leeds United players to calm down and continue to defend!

The Leeds United people cannot make the same mistakes as the Chelsea people, and they absolutely cannot give the Chelsea people such an opportunity. The Leeds United players retreated again and defended head-on. This made the Chelsea players feel very painful. The game was very awkward!
