Episode [157]: Hope Seems to Be Right in Front of You

The game was awkward and Scolari stood on the sidelines with a frown.

Chelsea's substitute Brazilian center back Alex is already standing on the sidelines, and Chelsea is about to make a substitution.

The Chelsea fans at the scene were a little shocked!

At this time, does Scolari really want to make a substitution? Moreover, Alex was replaced. Is this to replace Ricardo Carvalho?

Ricardo Carvalho did have some problems in this game!

The most important thing is that the header just now gave Leeds United their second goal, which almost ruined the game.

There is also the fact that Ricardo Carvalho was really not in good shape in this game. He didn't know what to do on the court. This was something Scolari didn't figure out.

Scolari also thought that if Ricardo Carvalho was replaced at this time, it would be a very big and psychological blow to Ricardo Carvalho.

Will this affect his relationship with Ricardo Carvalho?

Will this worsen the relationship between you and your players?

Scolari thought about it a lot, but now he has made up his mind. Just now, Ricardo Carvalho suddenly made a bold move and almost allowed Edinson Cavani to score.

Ricardo Carvalho is no longer suitable to stay on the court, substitution!

Dead ball, Chelsea requested a substitution.

Scolari replaced Ricardo Carvalho with Brazilian center back Alex. When Ricardo Carvalho saw that he was replaced, his face was very ugly.

He was replaced after only playing for about thirty minutes in this game. This is a shame for a player!

Ricardo Carvalho is okay, very professional!

Although he was very angry and had countless MMP words that he wanted to blurt out, he still hugged Alex on the sidelines, then ignored Scolari on the sidelines and went directly to the bench!

Yes, Ricardo Carvalho didn't go back to the locker room, he looked very professional!

However, everyone now knows that Ricardo Carvalho is very angry. If they were Ricardo Carvalho, they would also feel very uncomfortable at this time. Many people think that Scolari was too unethical. How could he replace Ricardo Carvalho at this time?

However, Chelsea fans soon discovered that after replacing Ricardo Carvalho, Chelsea's defense became much more stable, and Leeds United's counterattack was not so sharp, making it difficult to threaten Chelsea. goal.

Many people know that Scolari did the right thing, but many people do not agree with Scolari emotionally!

So many times, the first impression is very important!

Scolari has no audience popularity at Chelsea at all, and his stay at Chelsea is very awkward.

At this moment, inside the stadium, Chelsea suddenly sent a long pass from the backcourt. With a bang, the football flew directly towards the Leeds United half.

Moreover, the football happened to fall in front of Drogba who was advancing forward. Drogba who rushed up was very terrifying, and his impact was very strong.

Drogba was like a bulldozer, carrying David Luiz on his back, dribbling the ball into the penalty area, taking one step inside the penalty area, and shooting directly.

Yes, Drogba shot a blast!

The football flew past Zhong Zheng like a shell and flew quickly into the Leeds United goal. Zhong Zheng's face was a little sore from being scratched. The speed of the ball was really too fast.

One to two, Chelsea got a goal back.

The Chelsea fans at the scene immediately became excited, waving their fists wildly, shouting loudly, and they were all very excited.

"It's back, the suspense of the game is back!" Mark Lawrenson said immediately.

"What a wonderful substitution. Scolari's substitution played a vital role!" Eddie Gray couldn't help but marvel. This substitution was really amazing.

Zhong Cheng shook his head slightly on the sidelines. The Leeds United players still took this ball a little lightly.

Or after taking a two-goal lead, and continuously suppressing Chelsea, Leeds United's defenders pressed a little higher, and at the same time they became a little relaxed mentally. This gives the Chelsea people a chance. Generally speaking, this is a problem for the Leeds United people themselves.

But I have to say that Drogba is very powerful. This impact is really unparalleled!

In fact, this opportunity for Chelsea is not a good opportunity at all. This long pass from Chelsea's backcourt was more like a clearance, a bit like an accidental hit.

However, when Chelsea people score goals, Chelsea people score goals.

Regardless of the process, the result is good, Chelsea got a goal back!

The Chelsea people at the scene all knew that Scolari was of a certain level. Many Chelsea fans still supported Scolari and hoped that Scolari would stay.

Yes, Chelsea fans are not united in their opinions.

Scolari nodded firmly on the sidelines, and the suspense of the game finally returned. Being able to pull a goal before the end of the first half was crucial for Chelsea.

Now we are only one goal behind, which is not a big gap. Chelsea still have the entire second half to play!

There is plenty of time!

At this time, the Chelsea players in the stadium were very excited, and they pressed forward crazily one by one. They wanted to score again and try to equalize the score before half-time.

With a bang, Drogba suddenly knocked the football horizontally, and Frank Lampard, who followed him, hit the football hard with a kick. The football flew quickly towards the Leeds United goal.

Fortunately, Zhong Zheng reacted quickly and turned sideways to slap the football away with one palm.

Corner kick, Chelsea got a corner kick opportunity, Chelsea players rushed up, and Leeds United's penalty area was filled.

The corner kick area was Chelsea's Ashley Cole. Ashley Cole glanced at the Leeds United penalty area, and then kicked the ball out in an arc. The football flew quickly into the Leeds United penalty area. restricted area.

In the penalty area, Drogba jumped up high and shook his head to attack the goal.

However, Zhong Zheng rushed out quickly and punched Drogba on the head to knock the football out. The football quickly flew out of the penalty area.

"Defend! Get back on defense!" Scolari on the sidelines immediately exclaimed and roared loudly.

Very nervous, very anxious, very worried!

Leeds United's counterattack came again, very quickly. This time it was still on the wing. Cristiano Ronaldo on the wing received a pass from midfielder Mbia. He immediately pulled the ball and turned and ran forward crazily.

Danger, Chelsea fans gasped!

The Chelsea players are worried. Many people are thinking, why isn't this game over? The time has come, the first half of the game should be over.

But Cristiano Ronaldo is very fast and too dangerous!

The Chelsea fans were so nervous that they were almost speechless. They must not let the Leeds United people continue to be so arrogant.

If Leeds United scores another goal at this time, it will be terrible for Chelsea.

With a bang, Cristiano Ronaldo was directly pushed to the ground by Chelsea full-back Bosingwa, fouling! Yes, Bosingwa chose to foul to resolve this crisis.

The referee immediately rushed over and showed Bosingwa a yellow card!

Leeds United fans were very unhappy, this should have been a red card. If Cristiano Ronaldo is allowed to pass, the ball will be a one-shot, which is definitely a red card!

However, the referee still held back and did not give Bosingwa a red card. Bosingwa's foul was worth it. If Cristiano Ronaldo was allowed to pass, the Portuguese winger would have done it alone.

Bosingwa did not quibble, but made a gesture to the referee. He only wanted to use his wrist to signal the referee that the injury time of the first half of the game was up, and the first half of the game was over.

But the referee ignored it and asked Bosingwa to exit directly behind him!

The referee's face was very serious, and Bosingwa felt a sudden fear in his heart that the referee would give him another yellow card. If that was the case, it would be more of a loss than a gain.

Frank Lampard immediately came over and pulled Bosingwa behind him. He went to the referee to argue and reminded the referee of this game that the injury time of the first half was up.

The referee also reached out to signal Frank Lampard to step back, and he also said that this was the last offensive opportunity in the first half.

The position of this ball is a little to the side, not suitable for direct shooting!

Therefore, Frank Lampard nodded and didn't care anymore. If he continues to worry about it, he might have to apply for a yellow card himself.

Now, except for Leeds United goalkeeper Zhong Zheng in his own half, all other players are used in Chelsea's penalty area. Standing in front of the football is Yaya Toure. Yes, this direct free kick was taken by Yaya Toure.

Now Chelsea fans hope that Yaya Toure will deliver the ball quickly so that the referee can immediately blow the whistle to end the game.

Yaya Toure took a deep breath and glanced at the back of Chelsea's penalty area.

Yaya Toure suddenly accelerated his run-up and hit the football hard with one kick. The football flew quickly towards the back of Chelsea's penalty area.

The Leeds United players sprinted forward towards where the ball would land.

At this moment, John Terry directly grabbed the best position, jumped up high, suddenly shook his head, and released the football out of the penalty area.

oops!

Throwing the football out, John Terry didn't react well. The first half of the game was almost over. The ball should have gone directly over the baseline. The referee wouldn't have given a corner kick anyway. If he pushed the ball out of the baseline, it would be over, but this time he pushed the football out of the penalty area. It's hard to say what happened outside the penalty area.

At this moment, John Terry saw Mbia stop the ball on his chest on the penalty area line, then directly swung his leg and hit the football hard with one kick.

With a bang, the football immediately flew towards the upper left corner of Chelsea's goal like a cannonball.

The ball was going so fast that John Terry could hardly see the trajectory of the ball.

In front of the goal, Petr Cech jumped out crazily for the first time, with his hands stretched straight out. But he knew it was over.

Dead spot!

The football flew directly into Chelsea's top left corner, then immediately bounced out, hit Petr Cech hard on the back of the head and bounced into the goal.

Three to one, Leeds United once again expanded their lead at the end of the first half!

All the Chelsea fans in the audience were stunned and their faces were full of disbelief!
