Episode【470】: Don’t Underestimate Leeds United’s Attacking Power

Corner kick, Leeds United corner kick.

With a bang, Mesut Ozil sent the football into the Arsenal penalty area with a curved kick.

In the penalty area, Lewandowski quickly stepped back, rushed in crazily, jumped high, and slammed his head hard into the Arsenal goal.

Toot toot!

Referee Howard Webb's whistle sounded, and Lewandowski raised his hand to press.

Vermaelen turned his head and glared at Lewandowski angrily. This damn guy had just pressed his elbow on his neck, making him very uncomfortable. Vermaelen was furious and very unhappy. .

Lewandowski immediately raised his hands to show that he didn't mean it.

Of course, Lewandowski did not say what Vermaelen said, but what referee Howard Webb said.

Howard Webb ignored Lewandowski and signaled Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia to prepare for the kick and not to waste time.

The players on both sides walked out of the penalty area, and Almunia kicked the football out.

"Wow, it's really different, completely different from what everyone expected!" Eddie Gray immediately exclaimed.

The fans of both teams at the scene were very surprised!

Yes, before the game everyone thought that Leeds United would defend and counterattack in this game. After all, their offensive power has dropped a lot. But what I didn't expect was that Leeds United actually played against Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger was also slightly stunned, a little surprised.

Arsene Wenger immediately turned his head and glanced at the Leeds United coaching bench to see what kind of reaction Zhong Cheng had now?

Zhong Cheng was sitting very calmly on the coaching bench and watching quietly.

Yes, just watch it quietly.

Arsene Wenger frowned slightly. Zhong Cheng is too calm. Is he the stone Buddha in the football coaching world? No expression at all during the entire game?

What's going on in Zhong Cheng's mind?

Arsene Wenger couldn't figure it out, and of course he wouldn't guess.

Now as long as the Arsenal team follows his ideas and implements his tactics, their Arsenal team will definitely win this game.

Therefore, at this time, Arsene Wenger is not in a hurry. Now they just remain unchanged in response to all changes.

Arsene Wenger would like to see what kind of medicine is sold in your crazy Loya gourd?

In the stadium, the two sides were really coming and going, it was so lively.

The fans of both teams at the scene were very nervous. Because both teams have opportunities and both threaten the opponent's goal. But now both teams have failed to score the other's goal. The emotions of the fans of both teams have been adjusted and they are very anxious.

Just now, Leeds United got a very good opportunity.

Mesut Ozil actually broke through under the defense of two people. Then he easily pushed the football into the space with a diagonal kick.

Jamie Vardy even had a solo chance, but his shot went over goalkeeper Almunia and slightly over the crossbar.

This was the closest either team had to scoring a goal.

This shocked Arsene Wenger, it was very dangerous!

Arsene Wenger instantly understood that he could not underestimate the current offensive strength of Leeds United. These players are still very capable of attacking.

Arsene Wenger also took a breath, such Leeds United's offensive power is not bad. What if Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale were both there? What will this look like?

Arsene Wenger is really lucky that Cristiano Ronaldo is suspended and Gareth Bale is injured. This is really a good thing for their Arsenal team, a huge good thing.

The Arsenal fans were also taken aback. They immediately shouted loudly to cheer for Leeds United.

The Leeds United fans are very excited and happy. This opportunity is really good. If we seize it, we will lead 1-0.

In addition, today's Chelsea game kicked off at the same time as this game. At this time, good news came from another venue. Chelsea, who played away from home, actually trailed Blackburn Rovers 0-1.

This was something that no one at the scene expected. How could this happen? Is Chelsea about to capsize?

No matter what, this news is good news for Leeds United and Arsenal now.

Arsenal is very motivated now. If they defeat Leeds United and Chelsea lose at the same time, they really hope to reach the top of the Premier League in this round of games, so Arsenal The players are attacking like crazy at this time.

Now Van Persie is the hardest working. As long as he meets Zhong Cheng, Van Persie will have endless energy.

Previously, Van Persie had some grudges with Zhong Cheng because of Huntelaar's incident. Almost whenever he faces Zhong Cheng's team, Van Persie will use 200% of his strength and attack like crazy.

Today is no exception.

Van Persie had performed very well before. He had already completed four shots on his own and hit the door frame three times, but there was no Zhongzheng to resolve them. Another time it was slightly over the crossbar. Van Persie was really amazing.

Zhong Cheng also reminded the Leeds United players to pay attention to their defense against Robin Persie.

Although there is some disagreement with Van Persie, Zhong Cheng still believes that Van Persie is very strong and is a figure that Leeds United must be careful about, otherwise Leeds United will suffer.

Leeds United's defensive players also listened to Zhong Cheng's words and stared at Van Persie seriously, otherwise Van Persie would have scored by now.

Van Persie is really, really good.

Just now, Van Persie rushed into the penalty area and pretended to swing his leg and shoot. In fact, he gently moved the football horizontally, and Cesc Fabregas, who followed him, was unguarded and directly hit the goal with great force. The football missed the crossbar of the goal and flew out of the baseline.

Hanging, really hanging.

When Fabregas shot, there was no defensive player in front of him, only Zhong Zheng. The goal was really almost scored by Arsenal.

Van Persie is really difficult to guard against. This guy can shoot by himself, he can also dribble the ball to break through and create opportunities. More importantly, he can also play with the ball. This is very difficult for Leeds United's defensive players.

However, for now, Leeds United's defensive players are still doing a good job.

The threat of Van Persie is there, but it is definitely not maximized. Zhong Cheng is very satisfied with this. For now, Leeds United's defense looks very solid.

Of course, now Arsenal has nothing to do against Leeds United's defense, and Leeds United also has nothing to do against Arsenal's defense. Leeds United also had many chances, but they were unable to break through Arsenal's goal.

Therefore, it seems that the two teams are attacking very fiercely now, but in fact it is not particularly dangerous.

The two teams are in a tug-of-war to see who can't keep up with the other's rhythm first. Then whose defense will have problems, this is quite exciting.

At this time, the players on both sides knew this, but they did not stop.

Players on both sides were charging madly towards the opponent's penalty area. Everyone wants to win this game and will do their best to do so.

Fans from both sides at the scene also supported their teams and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to cheering for their favorite teams.

At this time, Leeds United's attack came again. This is a short, flat and fast attack. Patrick Evra in the backcourt directly launches the attack with a long pass, and Lewandowski in the frontcourt beat Vermaelen to pass the header. Jamie Vardy, who followed up, stopped the ball with his chest. Before the football landed, he hit the football hard with a kick. The football flew quickly towards the Arsenal goal.

The speed of the ball is super fast, like lightning.

Moreover, the ball still fell with a strong arc, which looked very dangerous.

The Arsenal fans at the scene were distraught and in a very, very bad mood.

At this moment, Almunia jumped up as if a god descended from heaven, and pushed the football over the bottom line with one palm. The Arsenal fans immediately burst into thunderous applause.

Of course, Arsenal fans were also shocked. Leeds United's offense is very simple, but full of threats. If Almunia had been half an inch shorter than Almunia, the goal would have been scored. It would have been very, very dangerous.

The Arsenal players were also shocked, and then quickly returned to defense. We really can't let Leeds United play like this anymore, and we really can't underestimate Leeds United's defense. They are getting stronger now, so they have to be more careful.

Also, Chelsea is now 0-1 behind, and Arsenal must win this game.

Corner kick, Leeds United corner kick.

Mesut Ozil quickly drove the football away, and the ball immediately flew into the Arsenal penalty area. Vermaelen and Kompany, who were at the front, jumped high and competed for the header.

With a bang, Kompany hit the football with his head, and the football hit Vermaelen's head. It immediately changed direction and flew out of the baseline again.

Leeds United are continuing the corner kick.

Leeds United's offense in this period was very fierce. Arsenal fans were very anxious and nervous.

At this moment, Mesut Ozil lightly glanced at the football.

The football quickly rolled to the feet of Patrick Evra who was following. Patrick Evra directly passed the ball. The football rolled quickly and sideways close to the ground.

The football came to the forefront of the penalty area. The Arsenal players were startled and rushed out crazily to intercept.

Sami Khedira rushed up quickly and kicked his legs hard, about to take a violent long shot.

Arsenal's defensive players immediately jumped up, twisted, and used their bodies to block the flying football.

Who knew that Sami Khedira did not take a violent long-range shot at all, but gently lifted the football upwards, and the football flew directly over the heads of the jumping Arsenal players. All the Arsenal players turned around and looked shocked.

The ball fell directly to David Luiz, who was unguarded.

Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia rushed out and rushed towards the falling football.

With a bang, David Luiz jumped up and shook his head directly to attack the goal.

The football flew towards Almunia rapidly. Almunia immediately jumped up, opened his teeth and claws, expanded his defensive area, and intercepted the football.

Unfortunately, the football flew past him like a gust of wind and quickly flew into the goal behind him.

All the Arsenal fans at the scene were stunned, and their faces became very ugly.

How come Almunia didn't touch this ball? The football flew right in front of his eyes. This is a ball coming towards you. Why didn’t Almunia save it? Isn’t this unscientific?

The ball was too fast and Almunia couldn't react.

Moreover, the ball is too close to Almunia. Almunia cannot make precise predictions and saves at all. He can only open his body as much as possible, expand the defensive area, and use his body to block the football. . Unfortunately, he was unlucky. The football went straight through his body and flew into the goal behind him.
