Episode 【323】: Vieira Who Missed the Future

In the fourth round of the 2009-2010 Premier League season, Leeds United challenged Blackburn away.

Albertini flew back from Switzerland overnight just for this game.

Now Albertini is standing on the sidelines, staring into the court.

The game has started for a while, but the effect today seems not to be ideal. Leeds United did not have an absolute advantage, Blackburn performed very well.

Yes, this game seems a bit beyond everyone's expectations.

Leeds United was not as strong as everyone imagined. Instead, Blackburn played well and threatened Leeds United's goal.

Leeds United striker Jason Roberts is outstanding.

This forward is an acquaintance of Zhong Cheng and Leeds United!

Because when Leeds United was in the Championship, their main opponent was Jason Roberts. Jason Roberts was still playing for Wigan Athletic in the Championship back then. He was the main forward for Wigan Athletic back then, and he and his partner Nathan Ellington were the sharpest striker combination in the Championship.

At that time, Wigan Athletic was Leeds United's vying for first place in the English Championship and for promotion places.

But now things have already changed!

Jason Roberts moved to current Blackburn Rovers and failed to score more than double figures in any season. His most glorious season was when he was playing in the English Championship with Wigan Athletic, scoring 21 goals in a single season.

His former golden partner, Nathan Ellington, has been worse off than him in recent years.

Nathan Ellington is now playing for Watford. His most glorious season was obviously the season with Wigan Athletic in the English Championship. In that season, he scored 29 league goals, but lost to Wigan in the top scorer list. Huntelaar.

After that, he moved to West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League. In 2006-2007, he scored 10 goals in a single season. In the following seasons, he did not reach 5 goals!

These two can be considered directly destroyed!

Originally, there were still many teams in the middle and upper reaches of the Premier League who wanted to introduce them, but no one had the right ideas and they ended up like this.

Jason Roberts played 29 games last season and scored 7 goals. For a team in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, such results are considered qualified. So he still stayed at Blackburn and even got more playing opportunities.

Jason Roberts played very actively today.

And Jason Roberts performed very well, frequently threatening Leeds United's goal.

Just so you know, Jason Roberts hasn't had a snap so far this season. Yes, he hasn't scored a goal yet. He is very eager to score a goal today.

Because today Jason Roberts feels that his condition is very, very good.

Blackburn haven't scored a single goal so far, so it's not just Jason Roberts' fault, it's the fault of Blackburn as a whole.

Blackburn's players worked very hard in this game!

Now Blackburn has an absolute advantage and frequently attacks Leeds United.

Just now, Jason Roberts almost scored the goal of Leeds United. Fortunately, Zhong Zheng in front of the goal reacted in time and shot the football out of the baseline with one palm, otherwise it would be over!

Corner kick!

Blackburn got a corner kick.

With a bang, Blackburn's Morten Petersen sent an exquisite cross directly, and the football flew accurately to the back point of the penalty area.

Yes, it is accurate, very accurate!

Morten Peterson's curve ball made everyone's eyes light up!

Morten Peterson is indeed the "Norwegian Beckham"! His pass really had the style of David Beckham, and the Blackburn fans at the scene were screaming.

Yes, Morten Peterson is known as the "Norwegian Beckham".

He has this title not only because he is handsome, has blond hair, and plays on the wing. And also because of his free kick skills. When he was in the under-15 youth team, he scored 6 direct penalty kicks in one game!

Yes, 6 corner kicks went directly into the goal!

It’s very fantasy, very detailed and amazing!

Moreover, he also scored directly from a corner kick in the Norwegian Professional League. Although his attempt after arriving at Blackburn was unsuccessful, he has now hit the goalpost three times from corner kicks, and once was blocked by a teammate.

And in a game against Manchester United, his direct free kick even made the legendary goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar of the Premier League giants sigh when he looked at the ball.

Although Morten Peterson's corner kick was not a direct shot, the landing point he gave was very accurate. At the back point, the talented French midfielder N'Zongqi, who was only introduced by Blackburn this season, jumped high and shot his head. Hit the Leeds United goal hard.

With a bang, Nzonzi made a strong push, and the football flew quickly towards the Leeds United goal.

The speed of the ball was so fast that Blackburn fans were screaming with excitement. This goal must be scored.

Snapped!

There was a desperate sound, and all the Blackburn fans at the scene were stunned. The ball was actually blocked. Oh my god, how is this possible?

The Leeds United fans who came from afar were very excited and excited, and they actually saved the ball.

All the Leeds United fans at the scene gave Zhong Zheng thunderous applause. Zhong Zheng was really amazing. But the next moment everyone in Leeds United couldn't laugh anymore!

Jason Roberts, who was ambushing in the middle of the penalty area, fell directly to the ground and hooked the saved football directly into Leeds United's empty goal.

One to nil, Blackburn took the lead.

Roberts, Jason Roberts breaks the goal drought!

From the end of last season to now, Jason Roberts has not scored in ten Premier League games. This time he finally broke the Premier League goal drought.

Jason Roberts is very excited and excited, this is his first goal this season!

All Blackburn fans are very excited and excited.

This is also Blackburn's first goal this season, which is really hard-won!

The Blackburn players rushed forward crazily, swarmed towards Jason Roberts, and pushed Jason Roberts to the ground, playing Jenga.

The Leeds United players were a little unresponsive. Did they lose the ball?

The Leeds United players did have some problems today and were not in good condition.

Of course, this time Blackburn's offense was very sharp. Morten Petersen's cross from the corner was very accurate and was the finishing touch of this goal. Nzonzi, who was playing from behind, did a very good job, squeezing the Leeds United defenders behind him and heading the ball towards the goal.

He should have scored this time, but unfortunately his luck was not very good!

Nzonzi is a very good player and a very good defensive midfielder.

He is even called "Little Vieira" in France because he is similar in stature to Vieira. He is 190cm tall and weighs 75kg. He also plays in the midfielder position. This really looks like the former Arsenal player. Captain Vieira, this guy is tall and has good mobility. The most important thing is that he is very good at high-altitude balls. He has a good height and a good ability to judge the landing point. He is fierce and active in defense and fierce in fighting. And he also has a good long-range shooting ability.

Now he is a member of France U21, very young, not even 21 years old!

Originally, Zhong Cheng was interested in this defensive midfielder. When he was about to fly to Germany, he lured this defensive midfielder to Leeds United.

Because Leeds United really lacks a midfielder now.

But at that time, something happened to Zhong Cheng suddenly, and he was directly asked to rest and had no way to contact football. Therefore, Albertini and others did not know this, so they missed Nzonzi.

Nzonzi moved to Blackburn this summer, and the transfer fee was only 500,000 pounds not long ago!

Blackburn claimed that they had introduced Vieira, the future of French football!

To be honest, this guy is really strong. He has become the absolute main force of the Blackburn team and a barrier in front of the Blackburn team's back line!

In this game, Nzonzi's performance was also very beautiful and exciting. It also made Albertini marvel for a while. He really didn't expect that Blackburn could introduce such a powerful defensive midfielder.

He also thought that the Leeds United club seemed to have a defensive midfielder. Why didn't Leeds United introduce this player? Doesn’t Mr. Zhong Cheng think highly of En Zongqi? But judging from his current performance, Nzongqi is very good.

At least now there is no problem playing as a main force in a mid-table team in the Premier League. If you come to Leeds United, you can also play as a rotation main force. And after coming to Leeds United and being trained by Zhong Cheng for a season or two, maybe this guy might actually become the new Vieira.

Of course, this Blackburn goal came from Jason Roberts!

It seems that Jason Roberts was lucky to score this goal. The football that was saved actually fell to his feet, allowing him to miss it. In fact, this is what he deserves. From the beginning of this game, Jason Roberts was very active and hard-working. He spared no effort to run, attack and shoot in the frontcourt. He really went all out.

Jason Roberts had two very good opportunities before this, and his shooting was also very good. If Zhong Zheng hadn't been a pervert, he would have scored at least one of these two opportunities. If it were an average goalkeeper, He scored on both of his previous chances.

And when this ball was played, he himself actively moved and judged the goalkeeper to create this opportunity. This is not just due to good luck, many forward players seem to survive on these lucky opportunities.

Yes, there are some forwards who seem to live purely on such misses.

Of course, does this mean they are just lucky?

Of course not, such forwards are actually more valuable because they have a very keen sense of smell in front of the goal and can always appear in the most dangerous and unexpected positions to send the football into the opponent's goal.

Such players rely more on talent and feeling to play football!

Such forwards rarely score shocking goals. The average goals they score are ordinary and very easy goals, and they are even goals that don't make people feel that they have a high sense of existence. Many people didn't even pay much attention, and they had already scored a dozen goals without knowing it.

Of course, Jason Roberts is not this type of forward. He relies more on his own body as a forward, but this ball really has the feeling of an opportunistic forward.

This goal is indeed the result of Jason Roberts' efforts. It is not as simple as luck.
