Chapter 93 We have the strength to fight!
Simon Grayson is now in a difficult situation. He failed to adjust the team's state in time when the team was leading. When the score was equalized, he was still in a state of furiousness. Now he is behind... He is awake!
But what's the use of being awake?
Leeds United is now behind. Instead of shrinking and waiting for death, it is better to fight...
The "Youth Guards" are not a strong team. Their offensive routines are very simple. Even head coach Simon Grayson has consciously strengthened Bentley's breakthrough ability on the right, allowing Ben Parker and Jonny Hausen on the left to practice passing. However, the attacking methods of this team are just those. The "Leeds Three Musketeers" offensive system on the left, Bentley's pass on the right, Ameobi and Tevez in the middle, that's all!
Simon Grayson didn't have any good ideas, but the players on the court used their brains. Captain Jonny Hausen called Zach Thompson and Tevez together: "Guys, we are already behind, and we still have to continue fighting next, because we have no other choice. How about it? Do you have any good suggestions?"
The captain Jonny Hausen can't come up with an idea, so how could anyone else have an idea?
However, there is one person in Leeds United who has seen the world, and he is... "Beast" Tevez!
Teves, who had never spoken much when he came to the team, suddenly spoke: "Hey, guys, I have an idea, do you want to listen?"
"Carlos, when is it time? Tell me!"
"Yes, Carlos, tell me!"
Teves grinned and said, "When I was playing football at Manchester United and Manchester City, Sir Ferguson and Mancini once said that when facing our department on the court, we should make more set pieces and make full use of the opportunities of set pieces to get the goals! What do you think?"
kindness!?
Zach Thompson, Jonny Hausen and others all had their eyes lit up. Tevez's words really woke up the dreamer. Why did they forget to rely on set pieces to score?
There are many long-range shot experts like Zach Thompson in Leeds United. Even Bentley, Tevez, Ben Parker and others can make a very threatening free kick.
"Okay! It's the set piece! We create more opportunities for set piece and strive to equalize the score before the end of the first half!"
Jonny Hausen glanced at Simon Grayson, who had returned to his seat in the distance. He suddenly felt that his coach's level seemed to be just ordinary. Listen to what Tevez said, and found the direction for Leeds United in just one sentence. This is the experience Leeds United lacks the most now. Ferguson and Mancini are indeed a world-class coach!
Teves was very happy to see his proposal being adopted. He had never felt the sense of accomplishment brought by being highly valued. Although he was not the most important player in Leeds United, after all, there was also the dedicated captain Jonny Hausen and the team's tactical core "Shack", but his status is really not low at all. Not only is the core of the team's offense, but he will also be valued by his teammates when he says something. This feels wonderful!
After finding the right direction, Leeds United's offensive purpose became very clear. After re-teletting, Ben Parker dribbled the ball from the left to the near-bottom line. When he was passing back Jonny Hausen, the ball was tackled out of the baseline by Chelsea's midfielder Ramirez... a corner kick!
This corner kick was just the beginning of Leeds United's good opportunity to find a set piece. In the next ten minutes, Leeds United began to consciously create a set piece while attacking. Although the "Blue Army"'s attack was still fierce, Cavani and Ramirez all got opportunities one after another, but the "Young Guards" who had seen hope struggled to withstand the opponent.
Zach Thompson and Tevez all got free kicks to attack, but they were not able to cause any threat.
The head coaches on both sides of the court also understood the situation of the game at this time. Di Matteo scoffed at Leeds United's efforts to create set pieces. He was very confident in the defense line composed of Cech, Terry, Ashley Cole and others. His team practiced a lot of defense on weekdays. This kind of training had existed since the era of "Madman" Mourinho. Now it has become a traditional training event for Chelsea. Every time he practiced defense, he would definitely practice set pieces defense. It is not easy for Leeds United to break through the "Blue" goal through corner kicks and free kicks.
But when the game reached 37 minutes, Ameobi won a free kick for Leeds United in the top of the arc in front of the penalty area while competing for the header with Terry.
This time, Zach Thompson muttered with Ben Parker in his arms: "Ben, you will take the free kick this time, I will cover you, and then you will directly attack the goal, remember to kick the upper right corner of the goal!"
"This location... can I do it?"
Ben Parker hesitated for a moment. He is a left-footed player and he has no confidence in playing a free kick at this position.
"Hehe, don't worry! Ben, I see that your condition is better than me today, so I'll leave this ball to you!"
Zach Thompson chuckled and patted Ben Parker on the shoulder. He really felt that his condition was average today. He couldn't catch the opportunity for free kicks and long shots. In fact, he had a "black foot" system on his body. It can be said that the condition is meaningless to him at all, but because he was given a key care by Chelsea, his performance was not very outstanding. Moreover, Tevez and Jonny Hausen are also the targets of the opponent's key defense. Zach Thompson simply used all the teammate's bonus skill points for Ben Parker. Now Ben Parker's speed and explosive power have reached the maximum. Zach Thompson also increased the value of his 11-point free kick.
After gaining the trust of Zach Thompson, Ben Parker also gritted his teeth: "Okay, then I'll kick it!"
After Zach Thompson set the ball, he retreated back. His left and right feet had strong long-range shooting ability, which gave many opponents a headache. When Zach Thompson stood facing the goal, it would be difficult for the opponent to determine what kind of shooting method he would choose. According to statistics, "Shack"'s anger and curved shots have scored more than once.
Ben Parker stood by the ball and pretended to point at Chelsea's wall: "Point back! Point back! This distance is not enough!"
Ben Parker is just a little guy, and Chelsea players ignored him. They just protected their crotch and stared at Zach Thompson with both hands. Cech in front of the goal was also standing on the left position to block the angle. This allowed his sight to see Zach Thompson's every move. As for the goal on the left, Cech was very relieved to leave it to the wall to block. At this time...
"Beep————”
Referee Andre Marina blew the whistle!
"Bangbangbangbang!"
Zach Thompson rushed up, his momentum was really fierce, but just when he was two meters away from the ball, Ben Parker, who was standing next to the ball, suddenly pulled his left foot on the ball!
"Bang!"
Ben Parker's body leaned back very hard. His left foot also kicked the ball at the bottom of the ball, and then he used his left foot to push up again. The ball flew very high all of a sudden. After flying over the head of the Chelsea wall, it sank down, and then drilled into the goal with a "swoosh"!
ah!?
The ball...into it!?
Ben Parker's goal was too sudden, and even he couldn't react. It was not until Leeds United players rushed up and pressed him under his body that he realized that he had really helped the team equalize the score...
"This ball...oh, our players attached too much importance to Shaq and thought this ball would be Shaq, but it turned out to be Ben Parker, No. 19 of Leeds United. The angle of the ball was really not tricky at all. From the beginning, we were heading towards our right goal, and the height was only able to cross the wall. But Cech just couldn't defend this ball, and his position was a little problem!"
Chelsea coach Di Matteo also fell into a state of depression. The ball was lost so badly. The quality of this free kick was really not very good, but the ball was finally scored for one reason or another.
Simon Grayson on the other side was very surprised, with an excited smile on his face and constantly hugged everyone around him. Today's game was so exciting. His team scored a goal as soon as he came. After that, Chelsea scored two goals in a row. When he didn't have any hope, Ben Parker's free kick equalized the score.
This is really... there are so many surprises in life!
But what made Simon Grayson even more incredible was that when Leeds United withstood Chelsea, which was frantically counterattacking, the first half was about to end when the 44th minute was about to end, Ody, who had made a mistake and was finally scored by his opponent, redeemed his guilt again. He suddenly walked around and broke the pass from Lampard to Cavani, and then kicked the ball to Zach Thompson in the middle of the front.
"Bang!"
Zach Thompson clicked the ball with his right foot, and at the same time he dodged Mikel, and then his body followed and made a long shot with his left foot!
"Dong!"
Zach Thompson's shot has always been strong. This time he fired a gun with his left foot, and even shot the ball straight towards the upper left corner of the Chelsea goal. The ball seemed to be fixed in the air, and flew into the Chelsea goal in the blink of an eye. Before Cech could make a leap to the right, the ball went in.
“GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Every Leeds United player raised his arms high, while Zach Thompson roared and rushed to the camera behind the goal line, and started to build a bodybuilding posture, showing his strength to the fullest. After three or four moves, his teammates rushed over.
"This... this is really incredible! The first half is about to end, but Shaq scored with his signature long shot, and Leeds United took the lead again. This is a genius, we should buy him! If I were Mr. Roman, I would definitely buy him!"
The commentator didn't know what to say at this time, but he expressed the voice of the Russian rich man!
At present, Roman Abramovich, the rich Russian man, is sitting in the stands at Stamford Bridge Stadium. Although his enthusiasm for football is not as enthusiastic as before, for him who doesn't have to worry about making money, but just spends money to enjoy his life, it has become a habit for Roman Abramovich to watch his team's game at home.
And today, Chelsea's boss discovered a player he really wanted... Shaq!
This 19-year-old "Shak" has only emerged this season and appeared in the vision of a giant team. But look at his current performance. This young boy has become a star. His personal ability is outstanding and he has shown a strong fighting will in the game. Roman Abramovich has a premonition that this boy will definitely become a superstar in the future!
The first half of the game was soon over. Leeds United, who played away, struggled to walk off the court with a score of 3:2, but every player had a confident smile on his face. They slapped the substitute players who greeted them and hugged them. In just over twenty minutes, they gained more than two goals to reverse the score, but also something that they could not see or touch...confidence!
Chapter completed!
