Episode [541]: Still Lost to a Mistake
One to zero!
In the 39th minute of the first half, Chelsea broke through Leeds United's goal and took the lead!
The Chelsea fans at the scene were howling with excitement as if they had won the championship.
The atmosphere at the scene was very lively, and everyone in Chelsea went crazy.
On the sidelines, Chelsea head coach Carlo Ancelotti was so excited that he jumped on the back of assistant coach Paul Clement and waved his fists excitedly.
At this time, Carlo Ancelotti seemed to suddenly be twenty or thirty years younger.
Chelsea people celebrated wildly, but Leeds United people were secretly sad on the side.
Who is to blame for this goal?
No one is to blame except Didier Drogba for being so weird!
Who would have thought that this brave and fierce guy would have such a delicate side? Everyone was deceived by this guy's image.
Of course, Didier Roa also evolved.
This guy used to be an out-and-out rough guy, and it was terrible to stop and dribble the ball. However, this guy is much better now, and he is still able to perform as he is now. It has to be said that Didier Drogba has made great progress.
Now that Didier Drogba is more comprehensive, this guy will be even more terrifying.
Zhong Cheng stared at Didier Drogba. This guy now really feels like an African monster. This guy has grown up and will be one of Leeds United's biggest enemies in the future.
Didier Drogba really performed very well today.
Zhong Cheng turned his head and glanced at the big screen. It was now six or seven minutes before the end of the first half, including injury time.
There is not much time left for Leeds United to equalize the score!
Zhong Cheng immediately reminded the Leeds United players to attack quickly and try to equalize the score before the end of the first half. Otherwise, Leeds United will be even more miserable in the second half of the game.
The Leeds United players are also a little unconvinced. Why are they lagging behind?
Generally speaking, they threatened the goal more often in the first half of the game. How come at the end, Chelsea is the leader?
After the Leeds United players saw Zhong Cheng's gesture, they immediately attacked crazily, trying to score a goal in the first half.
With a bang, midfielder Patrick Evra directly passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo in front with a long diagonal pass.
Cristiano Ronaldo immediately jumped up and blocked the football to Mesut Ozil in the center. Mesut Ozil did not stop the ball, but swept the ball towards the left side of Chelsea's penalty area.
Gareth Bale sprinted forward and chased the football.
"Beautiful diagonal ball, Mesut Ozil sent a wonderful pass, chance, Gareth Bale chance!" Eddie Gray roared excitedly.
In front of the goal, Petr Cech immediately and quickly moved laterally towards the corner, blocking the angle of Gareth Bale's shot.
Little did he know that Gareth Bale's kick was a fake shot, but he suddenly passed the football across the middle.
The football quickly rolled towards Lewandowski and Edinson Cavani in the center, and the faces of the Chelsea fans changed drastically.
"Oh! What a pity! Lewandowski and Edinson Cavani were both a little too anxious, and the ball actually ran past. It's really a pity, a real pity!" Eddie ·Gray didn't even know what to say.
Yes, this is a really good opportunity.
If these two people reach the starting point, they will face a big empty goal. With a slight stretch of their legs, they can put the football into the empty goal.
Unfortunately, these two people ran past them, and the football rolled past them and directly rolled out of the sideline on the other side.
Cristiano Ronaldo rushed forward, but still could not save the football.
The Leeds United fans at the scene shook their heads and lamented, what a great opportunity this is. It's just too bad that Leeds missed out.
Zhong Cheng also found it incredible on the sidelines. How could such a mistake happen?
This route from winger Gareth Bale is no problem and should be the best route. Better than the one Lewandowski and Edinson Cavani fought so hard for.
However, Lewandowski and Edinson Cavani both rushed to the same line.
Leeds United had no sense of hierarchy in grabbing points in the middle, and there were some problems with position selection, which led to them missing such a good opportunity.
In this goal, there was a slight mistake in the cooperation between Lewandowski and Edinson Cavani.
These two should not share the same line, they should make Leeds United's offense more three-dimensional.
It's a pity, this is really a pity.
Zhong Cheng came to the sidelines to remind Lewandowski and Edinson Cavani to have more communication between them and not to kick themselves.
Lewandowski and Edinson Cavani nodded slightly, indicating that they understood.
The Chelsea team here was not in a hurry after getting the ball. They controlled the football in the backcourt, and they wanted to maintain this lead until the end of the half. So at this time, they are not in a hurry, but are wasting time.
In fact, it can also be said that they are attracting Leeds United players and want to attract Leeds United players. This then led to Leeds United's rear being empty, and they also had opportunities to take advantage of.
The Leeds United fans were very anxious. They immediately roared crazily and cheered for the Leeds United players. At the same time, he was also cursing the damn Chelsea people crazily. The guys in Chelsea are really rubbish and such a waste of time.
The Leeds United players all attacked and pounced on the Chelsea players.
Chelsea's players did not attack immediately, but were avoiding Leeds' pressing. Passing the ball over quickly, allowing the Leeds United players to move higher, preferably in a disjointed scene.
On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng naturally saw the intention of the Chelsea people.
Zhong Cheng immediately shouted loudly, reminding the Leeds United players not to be too anxious. Although we need to score goals, we don’t have to pay the price of conceding goals. If you are behind by one goal in the first half, you can still play in the second half, but if you are behind by two goals, the second half will be very dangerous.
Lewandowski rushed forward madly and pounced on John Terry who had the ball.
John Terry took advantage of the situation and turned around, then quickly passed the football back to goalkeeper Petr Cech. Seeing Lewandowski rushing up quickly, Petr Cech quickly passed the football diagonally to the wing, and Ashley Cole received the ball from the wing.
Ashley Cole sent the football forward directly, and the football rolled to the feet of Malouda on the wing.
As soon as Malouda got the ball, the Leeds United full-back pounced on him. He did not rush, but immediately turned around and passed the football back to the full-back.
Ink marks, this is how Chelsea waste time.
Kyle Walker is still a little young and a little anxious. He rushed out quickly and pounced crazily on Ashley Cole who was holding the ball, ignoring Malouda's defense.
Ashley Cole saw the opportunity, but he did not take action immediately. Instead, he attracted Kyle Walker to continue to put it on. When he saw Kyle Walker was about to come to him, he suddenly passed the ball straight and passed the football to Malouda behind Kyle Walker.
Kyle Walker was shocked: "Damn, I've been fooled!"
Yes, Kyle Walker reacted at this time, and he was a little rash. Giving the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it is really dangerous now.
On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng frowned, and he was really about to collapse this time.
Because Leeds United's formation has been stretched very far by Chelsea and is somewhat scattered. The defense is not compact either, and the gaps are relatively large. What's more important is that the Chelsea man has been waiting for such a counterattack opportunity, and his attacking players suddenly got a little higher.
Seeing the opportunity coming, they pressed forward in a swarm. For a period of time, their offensive numbers were even greater than Leeds United's defensive numbers.
All Leeds United fans at the scene exclaimed: "Danger!"
This is really dangerous, Leeds United's defense is empty, and Chelsea's attack is already coming.
This should be the last attack of the first half. If Chelsea really scores a goal, this will be a very, very bad thing for Leeds United. It will be no less than a thunderbolt.
After Malouda got the football on the wing, he quickly dribbled the ball forward, and then quickly headed towards the Leeds United penalty area, coming menacingly.
Zhong Cheng was on the sidelines reminding the Leeds United players not to be anxious or panic. Preventing more with less may not be impossible. As long as the Leeds United players don't disrupt their position, Chelsea may not be able to break Leeds United's goal so easily.
However, the Leeds United players are indeed a little bit panicked now.
The first half of the game was coming to an end, but Chelsea got such a good offensive opportunity. You can imagine the pressure on the Leeds United players.
Leeds United centre-back David Luiz stepped forward and intercepted Malouda.
Malouda did not make contact with David Luiz at all, but suddenly passed the football back to the front of the penalty area in an inverted triangle. Where Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard rushed forward and headed towards the ball.
The Leeds United players were shocked, this guy had a very beautiful long shot. You absolutely can't let him take a long shot, at least you can't let him take a long shot comfortably.
Kompany had no choice but to rush out. He rushed out crazily and rushed towards Frank Lampard. He was preparing to use his body to block the football.
David Luiz and Patrick Evra on the wing quickly moved toward the center and pushed outwards. This means creating an offside trap and forcing Frank Lampard to only choose long-range shots instead of passing the ball.
In this case, at least Kompany can help, and they can also help in the middle.
But if you let the opponent pass the ball behind Kompany, you really have to go to the meeting alone. Therefore, they leaned towards the middle and pushed outwards.
But at this moment, Frank Lampard suddenly swung his leg and pushed the football into the penalty area. The football rolled directly to Drogba's feet.
David Luiz and Patrick Evra immediately raised their hands to indicate that Drogba was offside.
However, the referee Martin Atkinson ignored it, and Drogba also paused and volleyed the ball from close range into the Leeds United goal.
At the same time, Martin Atkinson also blew the whistle to end the first half.
Two to zero, Chelsea expanded its lead at the end of the first half.
