Episode [122]: This Is a Very Strange Game

"Counterattack! Leeds United counterattack quickly!" Eddie Gray roared excitedly.

Zhong Zheng threw the football with a strong hand, and Eddie Gray was very excited. Leeds United scored many goals in this way before. Every time he saw this action, he would be excited No end, because the goal is waving to them.

However, Ribery on the side of the ball made a mistake. He raised his leg to stop the ball and let the football slip past him, revealing the sideline.

"Oh! My God, Ribery's state is really terrible today. There were mistakes in this ball. It shouldn't be! When will Ribery's state be adjusted to the best?" Eddie Gray was disappointed.

The Chelsea fans at the scene cheered wildly, cheering for Ribery, hoping that Ribery can continue to do this, and keep doing it like this.

Franck Ribery's status problem is indeed the most serious problem for Leeds United now. Zhong Cheng has talked to Franck Ribery many times, and asked a psychiatrist to calm Franck Ribery many times... He has exhausted all kinds of This method does not seem to be very effective now.

Ribery is very important to Leeds United. If he remains like this, the future of Leeds United this season will be somewhat unclear.

The Chelsea people saw the poor state of Leeds United. They immediately became active and frantically put pressure on Leeds United. This put a lot of pressure on the Leeds United players.

Michael Ballack in the midfielder suddenly sent a through ball, directly stuffing the football to Shevchenko's feet in the frontcourt.

"Beautiful, beautiful through ball, this ball penetrated Leeds United's defense, Shevchenko is going to go it alone, Leeds United is going to die!" Mark Lawrenson suddenly exclaimed.

The Chelsea fans on the scene screamed excitedly, and their voices were extremely loud.

"Oh, Shevchenko's connection with the ball was too slow, giving Sagna a chance next to him, and a sweep swept the football away. Unfortunately, Chelsea missed a good opportunity. Ah!" Mark Lawrenson said very helplessly.

This ball is still Shevchenko's problem. It can also be seen that Shevchenko is in a very bad state today. This ball is already a single-handed opportunity. It is a pity that she missed it. up.

On the sidelines, Jose Mourinho's lungs were about to explode when he saw this, and he directly smashed the drinking bottle he had just unscrewed in his hand to the ground, and the water splashed all over his trouser legs. All water stains.

"Damn it! What's the situation with Tamar? Can't you handle the ball?" Jose Mourinho was so angry that he swears!

Jose Mourinho couldn't stand it anymore, he immediately turned around and shouted to the bench: "Salomon, go warm up!"

The young Ivorian winger Salomon Kalou stood up excitedly on the bench, quickly took off his jacket, ran out, and threw it out to warm up.

The Chelsea players were taken aback for a moment. They really didn't expect Jose Mourinho to be so decisive, and they were about to replace Shevchenko? Shevchenko is a big-name player, and he is a player that the club chairman spent a lot of money on in the summer. Could it be that he was abolished like this?

Many people looked at Jose Mourinho, this is indeed a handsome man.

The tackled football was picked up by Zhong Zheng. Zhong Zheng didn't throw the football quickly this time, but stabilized it. Then a big foot drove the football to the frontcourt. Luca Toni in the frontcourt jumped high and ferried the header. Darren Bent made a diagonal pass directly and passed the football to the wing.

Joaquin on the wing stopped the ball, pretended to cut inside, and then quickly went to the bottom, and sent the football into Chelsea's penalty area with an arc. The arc line was very good. It's a pity that Luca Toni's speed was still a little bit behind, and the football flew past the tip of his hair and flew out of the baseline.

There was a sound of regret for the advantage on the spot, and Luca Toni was a little bit late, which is really a pity.

Players from both sides were attacking back and forth during the game. Chelsea's high-post press was very sharp, but it didn't seem to be very successful today. Leeds United's defense is very solid, and the attack speed is very fast, and the football is poured to the front line regardless of the pass.

Today, both sides played a good offense, and the offensive routines have been played out, but the players on both sides do not seem to be in the best state, so there are many opportunities for competition, but the truly threatening offense is really good. Moreover, the goalkeepers of both sides are in very good condition today. It is really difficult for both sides to break through the opponent's goal.

At this time, Leeds United's offense came again. Joaquin from the wing took the ball and made a pass from the bottom.

As Chelsea's players adapted to his attacking style, it was increasingly difficult for Joaquin. After he was unsuccessful, he pulled the ball and turned around, passed the football back, and the football rolled to the feet of Sania who was following up.

Sarnia did not stop the ball, and directly transferred it with a long diagonal pass with a big foot, sending the football directly to Ribery's feet on the other side.

This time Ribery stopped the ball without any problems, and stopped the football steadily. Facing Chelsea's defensive players, Ribery pretended to pull the ball and broke through to the bottom line. And his right foot, which was about to pull the ball, didn't touch the football at all, and he shot directly from the football, shaking the defensive player.

Ribery quickly pulled his body back, ready to pull the ball across the middle. Unexpectedly, he made a mistake at his feet and missed the football. The man left and the ball remained.

Chelsea defender Paulo Ferreira picked up a bargain and took the football away with ease.

The fans of Leeds United sighed one after another, what is this kick?

"Oh, Ribery's state is really terrible. This feels like his worst state since the new season. If he continues to play like this, maybe he will be replaced before half-time. Get off!" Mark Lawrenson said immediately.

Eddie Gray also nodded and said: "Yes! Ribery is too abnormal today. He and Shevchenko on the opposite side are almost the same. Today, both teams have an undercover agent. This game is very interesting. It's really worrying!"

The fans of Leeds United gave Ribery applause and encouragement to Ribery.

Paul Ferreira, who stole the ball, immediately dribbled the ball forward at high speed, and then had a two-to-one with Lampard in the middle, and then made a direct cross from the bottom.

The football quickly flew to the middle of the Leeds United penalty area, and quickly flew to Shevchenko in the penalty area.

This ball Shevchenko's position is very good, very threatening.

Amidst the panic of the Leeds United fans, Shevchenko jumped up high, shook his head at the ball, and smashed the football hard into the sky!

Yes, Shevchenko directly flew the football!

The Chelsea fans at the scene collectively sighed in disappointment, the ball was so easy to top, why did it fly? The ball goes out, but it is much harder to be smashed into the goal.

How did Shevchenko do it?

Chelsea fans are really disappointed and in a very bad mood.

On the sidelines, Jose Mourinho's mood fell to the lowest point.

Jose Mourinho couldn't take it anymore, he turned around and said to his assistant: "Substitute, let Salomon come on, and replace him with me!"

The assistant Boas was taken aback for a moment, then nodded immediately, expressing his understanding.

Boas didn't expect that Jose Mourinho would have such courage. It's only 28 minutes into the first half of the game, and he made a substitution in less than 30 minutes. Moreover, it is really scary to replace a big name like Shevchenko.

However, Boas did not think about it, he took Kalu directly to the fourth official and made an application for a substitution.

Soon, everyone in the audience saw that Chelsea made a substitution, replacing Shevchenko, who was in a very bad state today, with the young teenager Salomon Kalou. Chelsea fans are very happy, this is a correct substitution, today Shevchenko really performed too poorly.

Seeing that she was replaced, Shevchenko couldn't believe it. She looked carefully and found that she was replaced. He sighed, he knew that Jose Mourinho could not be blamed for this, it was his own problem today.

Although I really didn't want to end, but there was no way, Shevchenko was replaced.

Although the performance was terrible, the Chelsea fans still gave Shevchenko applause, because his name is Shevchenko, a Ukrainian nuclear warhead!

After the Chelsea team changed, they launched an extremely fierce attack. The speed of the two sides was much faster, which gave Leeds United a great impact on the side defenders and created a lot of opportunities.

At this time, Salomon Kalu, who had just played not long ago, directly connected his compatriot Didier Drogba after making continuous breakthroughs on the wing. He sent a wonderful kick, and Drogba in the middle of the penalty area directly fell to the ground with a shovel and a shovel shot.

For this ball, Drogba exerted his full strength, and the football flew out like a missile.

The Chelsea fans at the scene thought that the goal must be scored. But the football was shot out of the bottom line by Zhong Zheng like a magic soldier, and the Chelsea people roared in disbelief, is Zhong Zheng taking drugs?

Substitution, another substitution occurred on the pitch.

This time it was the visiting team Leeds United, and Zhong Cheng also made the choice to make a substitution. He replaced Ribery, who was in poor form today, with Edinson Cavani. After Edinson Cavani came on the field, instead of playing on the wing, he went directly to the striker. Darren Bent on the striker came to the left to replace Ribery. Leeds United's formation is not any The change is still 4-1-3-2.

Wow, the game didn't end at halftime, and both teams replaced a big-name player. This is really very, very rare in previous games. This game is likely to create a history.

Ribery's performance today is indeed not good. Leeds United fans are normal for him to be replaced, and they don't care too much.

Next, the two teams are trying to find each other's space, looking for opportunities to score goals.

However, at this point in the game, the players on both sides are a lot more cautious, and they don't give their opponents too many opportunities, so the second half of the first half of the game is a bit dull.

However, the fans of both sides think that the players of both sides are accumulating strength, waiting for a certain moment to have a super explosion. The fans on both sides are very nervous, and they are all waiting for this moment to come.

Later they knew that this was entirely their overthinking.

Until the end of the first half of the game, neither side had any explosive moments. It seems that they fought too hard in the first half of the game, so the second half was a little bit powerless.

So, at the end of the first half, the score was zero to zero.
