Episode [292]: I Have a New Understanding of Zhong Cheng
Boom!
The football hit Zhong Zheng's arm firmly, and then quickly changed direction and flew into the goal of Leeds United!
Yes, although Zhong Zheng touched the football, it didn't change the fact that the football flew into the goal!
This ball is too powerful!
This doesn't look like a header, it's more like a heavy cannonball!
All Leeds United fans at the scene gasped and watched all this in shock.
On the sidelines, Jose Mourinho kept applauding, very satisfied.
Drogba who scored the goal turned around directly, rushed to the sidelines quickly, and waved excitedly at the Chelsea fans, which caused all the Chelsea fans at the scene to roar excitedly and howl crazily.
The new Wembley Stadium was filled with the sound of Chelsea people celebrating.
The fans of the Leeds United team were very sorry. Zhong Zheng had done his best. He had already encountered football. Unfortunately, his luck was not very good. The ball still flew into the goal of Leeds United. What a pity!
The fans of Leeds United felt very sorry, but they still gave Zhong Zheng their applause, encouragement to Zhong Zheng, and encouragement to Leeds United.
After all, halftime of the game is not over yet, and Leeds United have plenty of opportunities.
"The goal was scored, and Chelsea scored a goal! Going to score at this time is a very good thing for Chelsea. Because after losing the goal, Leeds United must attack, so that Chelsea can choose to defend and counterattack more calmly!" BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson said.
"Yes, the leading Chelsea team has a very large advantage at once. This is a test for Leeds United, a very important test. Of course, with the strength of Leeds United and Loya's ability, I believe that Leeds United will have a way!" Eddie Gray still believes in Zhong Cheng.
The Leeds United fans at the scene were not in a hurry. Although they were behind now, they believed in Leeds United. It's not like they haven't fallen behind before Leeds United. Didn't they all catch up later?
On Chelsea's side, Jose Mourinho kept waving his hands, signaling the Chelsea players to defend and counterattack, and to be on the safe side, don't be too rash.
The players at Chelsea have been reminded what to do.
Jose Mourinho turned his head and glanced at Zhong Cheng opposite, as if he wanted to see what Zhong Cheng would do now?
Zhong Cheng didn't get up, and sat on the coach's bench as before, as if he hadn't been affected in any way.
Jose Mourinho smiled and shook his head!
The game resumed, and Leeds United's front line was obviously advanced, and it was obviously not their defensive and counterattack posture. Leeds United's defensive counterattack is obvious, that is, the three lines will be very tight, and the whole team seems to be compressed in their own half, or even the front of their own penalty area.
However, now the overall formation of Leeds United has obviously moved forward, and they have all been pushed to the midfield.
Jose Mourinho can see that Leeds United is about to start attacking.
Zhong Cheng is really courageous. The first half of the game is not over yet, and the onslaught is about to start. It's really possible, it seems that he still really attaches great importance to this Community Shield champion!
However, it didn't take long for Leeds United to disappoint Jose Mourinho.
Leeds United were indeed attacking, but they were not attacking desperately. They raised the formation very high, but they were not flustered or rash at all.
On the contrary, Leeds United played only methodically, firmly controlling football at their own feet!
Chelsea's defensive counterattack is mainly based on high-position pressing, and the interception in the midfield is very, very powerful. What is important is to launch a quick counterattack immediately after stealing the ball, which is as fast as lightning and jingle bells. Therefore, Chelsea's interception ability in the midfield is very strong, but there are not many ways to attack Leeds United.
Because Leeds United's pass is really too fast, and the accuracy rate is very high.
The most important thing is that Leeds United firmly controlled the football at their own feet, and they were not in a hurry to send the football into Chelsea's penalty area immediately, giving Chelsea a fatal blow.
Obviously, Leeds United is using pass control to wear down Chelsea's will, looking for the most suitable time.
Jose Mourinho's brows were frowned, Leeds United's current way of playing is slightly similar to Barcelona. But it is very different from the way Barcelona and the Spanish national team play.
The players of Leeds United obviously use running to drive the pass, but they don't want Barcelona to use the pass to drive the running and move forward slowly.
Jose Mourinho also saw it. After Leeds United's control, they will definitely send some through balls suddenly and quickly to directly threaten their opponents. And it is rare to have that kind of wonderful cooperation, a few people pass three passes and two passes to enter the penalty area.
Because Leeds United's pass and control of the ball will be more direct, and it looks like a quick counterattack.
The most important thing is that you still can't guess when Leeds United will suddenly put the football straight into the opponent's penalty area. Now their possession of the ball is to wear down the opponent's will, stimulate the opponent, make the opponent impatient, rush out frantically, and then come out empty.
Moreover, when Leeds United passed the ball, their front line was very high, giving people a feeling that their defense line was actually very empty, luring the opponent to press up crazily.
Therefore, Leeds United's tactics are really stuck everywhere.
Jose Mourinho couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Zhong Cheng. This guy is very young, but he really has something in his mind. Very powerful, I really don't know who this guy is a student of?
Jose Mourinho is full of interest in Zhong Cheng, and wants to see who Zhong Cheng is?
At this time, Luka Modric in the middle of the court faced Makelele who was rushing up madly, suddenly dodged with a "Z" shaped lightning, and escaped the press. Then he pretended to swipe his leg straight, and feinted the Chelsea central defender in the penalty area.
Immediately after that, he saw Joaquin who had slanted into the penalty area from the side. Without saying a word, he directly passed the football into Chelsea's penalty area with a diagonal pass.
The Chelsea fans at the scene were screaming, feeling very dangerous!
"Wow! A beautiful oblique long pass, and Joaquin's forward thrust was also very timely, which happened to be inserted into the gap in Chelsea's penalty area! Leeds United's ability to spot opportunities is really too strong!" Eddie Gray roared excitedly, his voice was very loud.
The Leeds United fans at the scene were also very excited and saw an excellent opportunity.
There was only such a gap in Chelsea's defense, and it was really caught by Leeds United. Jose Mourinho's eyes tightened, Luka Modric is such a good guy!
Yes, Jose Mourinho realizes how good Luka Modric is!
The guy is so good at finding opportunities and openings, you see him passing the ball carelessly. But he is actually looking for opportunities, understanding and controlling the audience. Luka Modric is really that kind of organizational talent, and he can also send a precise short and long pass.
Very powerful, very awesome!
However, Luka Modric also has his disadvantages, that is, his body is too weak.
However, a player with a brain like him does not have particularly high physical requirements. More importantly, the seemingly thin Luka Modric is not afraid of physical contact, and usually knows how to use his body very well. This is a very smart player.
Jose Mourinho couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhong Cheng again, this guy's vision is really good!
Jose Mourinho is also a little envious of Zhong Cheng.
At this time, the football flew directly into Chelsea's penalty area, and Joaquin stopped the football with his chest. The ball stopped very well and landed directly at Joaquin's feet.
As soon as the football stopped, before Joaquin had time to deal with it, John Terry came to Joaquin's side, blocked the line of Joaquin's shot, and quickly rushed towards Joaquin.
Joaquin was really not in a hurry at all, as if he didn't see John Terry approaching, he swung his leg immediately as if he was about to shoot.
John Terry was startled, but he didn't change his mind, and immediately rushed forward quickly.
At this moment, Joaquin flicked his ankle and directly pushed the football to the side!
The football rolled right past full-back Ashley Cole, who was coming up from the siege, and rolled towards the baseline position on the wing.
On the wing, Leeds United's right back Sagna rushed up and caught up with the football.
Sagna didn't stop the ball, he took a look at Chelsea's penalty area, and then swung his leg to abstract the football fiercely, and made a curved pass.
In Chelsea's penalty area, the central defender immediately shrunk to the center, close to Luca Toni. The full-backs also moved closer to the center, marking Joaquin and Samir Nasri.
Chelsea's defense seems to have made a perfect defensive arrangement, but it has overlooked one point.
Sagna's cross did not pass into Chelsea's penalty area. Instead, it was passed to the vicinity of the penalty area line in the middle. Chelsea's defensive players ignored this position, and a vacuum appeared.
On the sidelines, Jose Mourinho's eyes widened immediately when he saw this, and he shouted in horror: "Defense!"
The players of the Chelsea team ignored the defense at the front of the central penalty area, which is simply terrible. This position is very dangerous, dangerous to the extreme.
In the stands, the Chelsea fans all saw it, and their faces were very ugly.
Because Leeds United forward Edinson Cavani did not know when he appeared in this position, waiting for the ball!
Edinson Cavani's running ability really makes Jose Mourinho envious. And his physical fitness is also very amazing, such a striker is really hard to find.
More importantly, this guy's shooting skills and header ability are still very good. This is a very comprehensive, very distinctive striker, very dangerous.
Edinson Cavani had no defensive players around him. He spotted the incoming ball, and before the football hit the ground, he swung his legs sideways, slammed at the flying football, and kicked on the spot, twisted his waist and volleyed!
"Sarnia's head is really very clear about the beautiful pass. He passed the football to the most dangerous position. Chelsea is really dangerous this time, really really dangerous!" Mark Lawrenson was a little excited.
"Wow! A beautiful pass. Edinson Cavani has no defensive players around him. He has a long time to deal with the ball. Wow, what did we see? Cavani faced the incoming ball and volleyed directly sideways!" Eddie Gray growled very excitedly, his voice trembling.
Boom!
Edinson Cavani, who was staring at the ball with both eyes, hit the football hard with one kick, and the football was ejected rapidly, like a fired shell!
