Chapter 118 This is unscientific!
There was a crazy scene at the Elland Road Stadium. Leeds United fans could hardly imagine that their team could still play "Leeds Time" against the defending champion "Blue Moon" Manchester City. This was simply... a surprise!
A big surprise!
At the beginning of the season, Leeds United had beaten Manchester City with a score of 2:1 in the Community Shield Cup, but at that time the "Blue Moon" had not yet emerged from the pride of the league championship. After the intense stimulation of last season, the players were overly relaxed for the whole holiday, and the overall condition of the team was just average.
But now... at this critical moment when the competition for the league championship has entered a critical stage, Manchester City's condition has been adjusted to a peak, but even if his team can still score first, this is very telling.
Mancini's face was full of seriousness off the court. The famous "Leeds Time" actually appeared again. This is quite unfavorable to his team. All England know that once the "Young Guards" find their own rhythm, this young team will become crazy and unstoppable. Almost few opponents can win the game after experiencing "Leeds Time". The game of losing to West Brom 2:3 has no reference value at all. It was the result of Leeds United's own underestimation of the enemy, but against the "Blue Moon", Leeds United can't underestimate the enemy at all!
At this time, Mancini still missed the "Duck" Nasri who was absent due to injury. The French midfielder's ability to interpret and control the game was indeed something that Baderji did not have. If he were on the court, this might not be the situation.
And even if there is no Nasri, if David Silva did not leave the court due to injury, his team would not have encountered such a dilemma. Although Espanyol's organizational ability is not as good as Nasri, his squad and breakthrough ability can create more opportunities for the team.
Missing his beloved player in his heart, Mancini had already walked to the sidelines and shouted to the court: "Take it back! Stay calm first! Stabilize the situation! Don't give them another chance!"
It's not scary to be behind one goal, especially when the game is just beginning. This situation is really nothing for Manchester City, they are fully capable of equalizing the score for the rest of the time and completing the reversal further.
But before that... you must stabilize the position!
In the stadium, the players in the city were already preparing to re-activate the ball. Dzeko looked at Aguero who was rubbing his shoulders in front of him and couldn't help but worry slightly: "Apu n, are you... okay?"
Aguero nodded, rubbed his shoulders and replied with a frown, "It's okay, that Shaq is really fierce. He just hit me like this. I still feel sore and sore."
"It's fine, let's do it, Ah Ku n, let's change more, let's hold back that Shaq?"
"Need not!"
Aguero shook his head stubbornly: "I can solve him, don't worry! Okay, we are already one ball behind, and we two must work hard as the team's attackers."
"kindness!"
Dzeko also understands that when the team is behind, he and Aguero should indeed stand up. Currently, the top scorer in Manchester City is Aguero, who scored 16 league goals, followed by Nasri scored 11 goals, and Dzeko only scored 9 goals, but he plays the role of tactical center in the team. In addition, David Silva also scored 9 goals. Unfortunately, Espanyol, like Nasri, cannot help the team now.
Leeds United...the luck is really good!
Dzeko couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at his opponent who had already opened the formation again.
But... Leeds United are not as simple as having good luck today?
Manchester City did not launch a crazy counterattack at the request of the head coach. They began to try to stabilize their positions and shrink very quickly when defending. They did not invest much force during offense.
But even so, when the game was 15 minutes old, they still lost the ball again!
This goal is actually not a good opportunity. After Zach Thompson sent the ball to Nelson Oliveira's feet from outside the left penalty area, he ran to the top of the penalty area. He originally wanted to run to the usual position and shoot a long shot.
However, after getting the ball, Nelson did not pass the ball back, but turned his back to Bochetti and suddenly turned to the right. Then he suddenly dribbled the ball and took two steps towards the middle. Just as he entered the top of the penalty area, his left foot scratched the ball and his right foot suddenly pulled on the ball!
"Bang!"
Shot!?
Everyone was shocked. Nelson Oliveira faced Bochetti and De Jong at this time, but he actually... shot!
"Swoosh!"
After the ball drew an arc in the air, it rubbed against the inside of the left post of Manchester City goal and flew into Manchester City's goal at a high position!
Johart still made a save move, but unfortunately his fish leap save height was not enough and he failed to touch the ball in the end.
"The ball is in! The ball is in! Nelson———Oliveira! 2:0! We are already leading two goals!"
Elland Road Stadium fell into crazy cheers again, and Leeds United fans felt that they were really happy at this moment!
However, "Blue Moon" is the defending champion after all, and Manchester City is also one of the few clubs with the most luxurious lineup in the world football world today. When they fall behind one goal, they are more stable. When they fall behind two goals, they are really anxious. The instructions given to them by Mancini were not implemented at all. The players launched a strong counterattack...
At 22 minutes of the game, Krish and Danny, who replaced David Silva, cooperated on the left, and Danny kicked a huge cross. After the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air for a day, Dzeko at the front point and Aguero at the middle failed to touch the ball. Ben Parker stopped the ball in front of the post on the right side of his goal.
At this moment, a figure wearing a red and black jersey slipped over to the lawn!
Baderji actually rushed up!
"Bang!"
The Croatian midfielder poked the ball out with his right toe, and the ball rolled into the Leeds United goal...
"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
After Baderji scored, he got up and turned around and started running on the court...
Ben Parker looked at the figure with a little depressed depression. He felt that the ball... was so frustrating!
He had already completed the defense, but because of his greed, he wanted to control the ball directly, so he actually gave the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it. Now, the advantage of the two balls has become one ball. This game... is difficult to play!
Indeed, after winning back a game, the "Blue Moon" became so morale that it was full of rainbows, and the offensive was higher and higher. At 26 minutes of the game, they almost equalized the score through the frontcourt set ball. Serner's arc ball kicked on the left made the ball almost draw a semicircular trajectory in the air. Unfortunately, Ronegan was finally saved.
However, Leeds United is not without a chance. Zach Thompson shot a low and angrily shot eight meters away from the penalty area in 32 minutes. The ball just hit the right post and missed.
Both sides created several opportunities to score, but they were unable to seize it. Until the 42nd minute of the game, when the first half was about to end, Leeds captain Jonny Hausen suddenly broke out on the left, dribbling the ball from the side and passing Serner and Richards in the small penalty area. Nelson Oliveira, Tevez and Pivkovsky occupied the front point, the middle point and the back point respectively, Jonny Hausen turned his left ankle and passed the ball back!
The ball rolled on the lawn towards Zach Thompson who had just run into the penalty area. The speed was not fast. This also made Zach Thompson prepare for the shot at the first time. When the ball reached the front, his body leaned back and completely swayed his left leg back, making a stance of bent his bow and arrow...
The ball arrives, the feet arrives!
"Bang!"
Zach Thompson's heavy artillery fired again!
"call--"
In just a blink of an eye, the ball flew into Manchester City's goal in a straight line. The huge force even smashed a deep hole on the ball net!
After the ball was in, Joe Hart made a leap and pounce, but at such a close distance, even if it wasn't Zach? Thompson, a violent man nicknamed "Shake", shot angrily, and replaced it with other players with a harder head. As long as the angle is not so straight, he can basically score.
"3:1! Shaq's rage shot once again expanded our lead! We scored again when the first half was about to end!"
The fans of Leeds United were so excited that they were about to shout out. They were so excited and so sophisticated. The team was able to expand the score advantage again when the first half was about to end. This was really... incredible!
The fans celebrated without leaving any effort. Anyway, they had enough time to recover during the halftime break, but they never dreamed that just two minutes later, when Manchester City's offense was terminated due to Dzeko's offside and Leeds United turned from defense to offense, they had to shout wildly again... screaming!
After Red kicked the ball to Metz Vulsariko on the right, the Croatian right back immediately handed over to Pivkovsky in the front. The Swedish young player did not stop the ball and passed the ball horizontally to the feet of the "Beast" Tevez.
After Tevez received the ball, he made a fake pass to the left, as if he was going to pass the ball to Zach Thompson, but he deceived the Italian Bochetti to make a tackle. After he flashed by himself, he drove forward.
Facing Richards who rushed over to support him, Tevez's feet kept changing rhythm, which made this former teammate not even have the chance to intercept the ball. When he dribbled the ball three meters away from the small penalty area, Richards, who was defending him, had no idea how terrifying he was. He knew very well how terrifying his former teammate was. The two of them had practiced a lot when they were training in Manchester City before.
"Bang!"
Teves suddenly shot, and the route he chose was between Richards' two long legs!
After the ball passed through Richards' crotch, it flew to the lower left corner of Manchester City's goal. Because of the blockage of Richards' body, Joe Hart was slowing down when he saw the ball. His position was relatively forward and he wanted to close the corner. It was too late to fall to the ground to save it...
"goallllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"The ball is in! The ball is in! Carlos scored twice! Wonderful! So wonderful! The magical Carlos! He once again completed his revenge on his former club! 4:1! We are already 4:1 ahead!"
The commentator was completely crazy, and the Elland Road Stadium was completely crazy. The fans, players, and even Simon Grayson, Eric Black and other coaches were celebrating wildly. This goal was definitely locked in the score of the first half, because it may be only one minute before the end of the first half, or even less than a minute.
And... three goals lead!
With three goals in the first half alone, leading the defending champion "Blue Moon" Manchester City, what reason can you not win this game!?
When Leeds United's celebration ended, Manchester City was suspended by the referee as soon as the kickoff was launched, and the whistle at the end of the first half of the game sounded...
This game is the highlight of this round of the English Premier League. When some people who care about this game learned that Manchester City was already behind 1:4 in the first half, one or two of them became confused...
Is this possible?
The defending champion was actually beaten 4:1 by Leeds United in the first half!?
This...is too unscientific!?
But just by looking at the technical statistics of both sides in the first half, you will know that there is absolutely nothing strange about this score. In the first half, both sides shot 11:4, shot 7:2, and the ball possession rate was actually...63%:37%!
In terms of passing, Leeds United has four players who have passed more than 20 passes, 25 Misters, Zach Thompson 28, Ben Parker 28, Jonny Hausen 30, and Manchester City only one Baderge sent 20 passes.
Leeds United, who plays at home, is not just leading the score, they... have completely controlled the game!
Today I want to add two chapters!?
It's interesting!
10+1, come on!
Chapter completed!
