Chapter 130 Difficulty moving forward!
Chapter 130: Hard moving forward!
The away game against Aston Villa is even more difficult than expected. Every time at the end of the season, there are frequent upsets in all leagues. The desperate battle of relegation teams can bring great difficulties to strong teams.
In the whole first half, Leeds United, who played away, seemed a little passive. They did not pose much threat to the home team. On the contrary, Aston Villa's 22-year-old young shooter Defonso almost headed the ball and shot through the Leeds United goal in 27 minutes. If the Pete, who had not returned to defend in time, jumped up in front of the goal and pushed the ball above the goal beam, Leeds United would have fallen behind.
The turning point of the game occurred in the 56th minute. Leeds United made a corner kick from the left and the ball was pushed outside the penalty area. Ben Parker jumped up and threw the ball into the middle.
The tacit understanding between the "Three Musketeers of Leeds" is really nothing. The ball flew over and Zach arrived!
Just on the left side of Aston Villa's arc top of the penalty area, Zach sideways and volleys the ball in the middle with his left foot!
"Bang!"
The ball drew a huge arc to the right in the air, and a "double" hit the bottom of the left crossbar, and a "bang" hit the goal line again... and did not come back.
"goallllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The 3,000 fans who came with the team were so excited that they were so excited that everyone shouted loudly. When they faced fans like Aston Villa, they really had a sense of superiority. Now that the team scored a goal, they celebrated unscrupulously!
There were only Leeds cheers left in Villa Park Stadium, and Aston Villa who played at home had no sound, but their expressions did not change much. Aston Villa has not yet reached the edge of the relegation zone. It was just that it was a little dangerous. It would be best to get points from the "Young Guards" at home. If you lose... it wouldn't be the sky was about to collapse.
After scoring the goal, Leeds United played more steadily. With no ambitious opponents, "Beast" Tevez received a pass from Bentley in the penalty area at 80 minutes. After receiving a pass from Bentley in the penalty area, he turned around and shot with his left foot. The ball was scored into the blind corner of Aston Villa's goal... 2:0!
There was no suspense in the game. Leeds United played hard in the first half. After Shaq scored in the second half, the game was always under their control, and finally got the three-pointer away as he wished.
After the game, the "Young Guards" returned to the lead position. Although they were only one point ahead of the "Red Devils" Manchester United, they only had one more point than the "Blue Moon" in the round of the game, and even only two more points than the fourth-ranked "Gunners". But this time they really took the initiative, and the team has really seen hope of winning the championship as a new team.
Of course, all of this has a prerequisite, that is, they cannot make mistakes themselves!
On April 24, Leeds United went to the away game to play against the relegation team Sunderland. The "Black Cats" are now at the bottom of the points and have reached the point where they have to fight to the death. They are only four points away from the fourth-last Stoke City. There is still hope to relegate, and this time they are not afraid of the "Young Guards" at home. Israeli head coach Avran Grant, who was invited to rescue the team, said: "We will try our last point at home to fight for points. Even if the opponent is a leader like Leeds United, we will fight to the end!"
Avran Grant’s ideas are beautiful, but the reality is cruel!
During the game, Shaq took advantage of the corner kick opportunity in 32 minutes and smashed Bentley's pass into the Sunderland goal... 1:0!
Simon Grayson off the court was excited and raised his arms high to cheer. The more the league progressed, the more pressure the head coaches of each team felt. And the person who could always stand up at critical moments was the most trustworthy confidant in the minds of every head coach.
At 61 minutes of the game, Leeds United's left offensive system showed its strength again. Shaq attracted heavy troops in the middle and passed the ball across the left. Ben Parker dribbled the ball and ran a few steps, and then stuffed the ball into the opponent's penalty area. The "black big guy" Ameobi leaned against the defender and made a strafing shot with his left foot. The ball rolled into the Sunderland goal against the ground... 2:0!
Ameobi's goal secured the victory for Leeds United, and the final score of the game was also 2:0. The "Youth Guards" easily won the away game.
Leeds United continued to hold the lead with 25 wins, 2 draws, 6 losses and 77 points. The "Red Devils" behind them was also full of momentum under the leadership of Ferguson. They defeated Arsenal 1-0 away and continued to chase Leeds United by one point.
"Blue Moon" Manchester City did not lose the chain at a critical moment. Mancini led the team to beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 at home, and scored with Manchester United in one more game, one point less than Leeds United.
The Gunners Arsenal ranked fourth with 34 games, 24 wins, 3 draws, 7 losses, and 75 points.
Tottenham Hotspur still lost the first time at the critical moment. The young Boas still lacked experience. In the last two rounds of the game, they first lost to Liverpool 0:1 at home, and then lost Manchester City 0:3 away. They were finally behind in the standings. Now they are only ranked fifth with 21 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses in 34 games, ranking fifth with 69 points, which has completely withdrawn from the championship.
On April 29, Leeds United ushered in the 34th round of the English Premier League. This time, the "Youth Guards" went to the away game to fight Blackburn.
In this game, Black, who played at home, actually gave Leeds United a blow. At 23 minutes, Blackburn took advantage of the corner kick and took the opportunity to take a corner kick, their French central defender Jair Givet leaned on Red and shot five meters in front of the goal to score the ball.
After leading 1:0, Blackburn, who played at home, became even more fierce, completely suppressing Leeds United on the scene. The "Youth Guards" have frequent games recently. When large-scale rotations cannot be rotated at critical moments, most of the starting main players have exhausted their physical fitness. When Blackburn played fiercely, it was soon. Leeds United could not withstand it.
At 41 minutes of the game, Canadian 22-year-old winger Junio Hoyllette broke through on the right and shot with a very small angle. Ronegan failed to save the ball, and the ball hit his hand and bounced into the goal... 2:0!
Blackburn, who played at home, has seen the dawn of victory. Although they are currently ranked 11th in the league, they have no chance to play next season's European competition, and there is no crisis of relegation. It is still worth their happiness to be able to beat the league leader at home.
The "Young Guards" who played away were in a huge crisis. Coach Simon Grayson was helpless during the halftime break. This game was not a problem with the team's technical and tactical, but the players' physical fitness was a bit unsatisfied. All he could do was to motivate his players to grit their teeth and hold on.
At the critical moment, Zach Thompson naturally would not stand idly by. He also thought about rushing to the championship with the team and completing the miracle of "upgraded team wins the championship" that has been recorded in the history of English football!
No, Shaq adjusted all the 37-point teammate bonus skill points of his "Black Feet" system to the endurance attributes of his teammates. This adjustment still played a role. After the start of the second half, Leeds United players obviously took a lot of brisk steps when running.
At 49 minutes, Leeds captain Jonny Hausen took the lead in sounding the horn of counterattack...
Teves dribbled the ball into the Blackburn penalty area on the right and suddenly passed the ball to the left. Jonny Hausen stopped the ball to two meters on the right when he received the ball. Using the rapid shift of gravity, he suddenly threw away Jair Givet, who was defending him. This hero who opened the first record for Blackburn in this game was completely a decoration at this time.
"Bang!"
He ran two more steps with a diagonal dribbling. Captain Leeds used his right foot, which he was not good at, to push the ball into the dead corner of the lower left corner of Brackburn's goal!
Although Blackburn goalkeeper Paul Robinson is also one of England's national goalkeepers, his judgment this time was wrong. He thought that Captain Leeds would shoot with his left foot outside the instep, and his position was more right. However, he didn't expect that Jonny Hausen actually pushed the ball with his right foot and shot the lower left corner of the goal. He caught Robinson sitting on the ground, but he finally failed to touch the side of the ball.
1:2, Leeds United won a goal!
After scoring the goal, Jonny Hausen did not celebrate. He ran into the opponent's goal and grabbed the ball and ran into the middle circle... Guys, we still have time and still have a chance!
Inspired by Jonny Hausen, Leeds United's offensive became fierce. Just three minutes later, Jonny Hausen passed from the left to the "black big guy" Ameobi in the penalty area.
"Dong!"
Ameobi's left foot volleyed, but the ball hit Blackburn's No. 16 central defender Scott Dahn and bounced back!
"Bang!"
Ameobi took advantage of his height and legs and pulled his left foot on the ball first again!
This time, the fast-flying ball did not give Scott Darn and Robinson the chance to block it, and then "swooshed" into Blackburn's goal... 2:2!
"goallllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ameobi roared and rushed towards Jonny Hausen who passed the ball to him. The players of Leeds United ran up ecstatically. The team fell from 0:2 to 2:2. The ten minutes after the start of the second half were really surprising!
But the good show is not over yet!
When the game ended 72 minutes, Captain Leeds got angry again. After cooperating with Nelson Oliveira, who came on the right and dribbled along the Blackburn penalty area line, he suddenly shot coldly!
After a "bang", the ball flew to the lower right corner of Blackburn goal. Robinson, who was standing in the middle, had no reaction at all. He opened his eyes wide and watched the ball fly into his own goal again...
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
After completing the score overtake, the captain Leeds played the celebration of the bomber landing and gliding in joy. Even head coach Simon Grayson rushed to the side of the court with a slid and kneeling... The Leeds were completely crazy!
At Ewood Park Stadium, the score of 2:3 was maintained until the end of the game. Leeds United, who played away, won again with a shocking reversal. After a difficult three-game away win, the "Youth Guards" were finally able to continue to lead the standings.
No matter how many difficulties we will encounter in the future, no matter what the future results will be, Leeds United are moving forward bravely and fearlessly...
Chapter completed!
