Chapter 638 Cahill's Header
Chapter 638 Cahill's Header
When the game came to No. 20 minutes, the rhythm of the two sides began to slow down. The fast-paced offense and defense consume a lot of energy, especially the full-court press.
Soon Moyes discovered that when the rhythm of the two sides slowed down, Leeds United took the initiative, because Leeds United was still much better than Everton in terms of skills.
Modric and Delphi are both players who can hold the ball, as are Royce and Mata on both sides, especially Mata, whose ability to control the ball at his feet is no worse than Modric.
Possession of the ball?Although Leeds United played more concisely, Guardiola did not lose much of his housekeeping skills, so at this moment when Leeds United controlled the ball at their feet, Everton was a little bit waxed.
At this time, Everton remembered that before Li Yi, Leeds United was famous for possession of the ball. Whether it was facing a weak team or a strong team, they always had an advantage in possession of the ball.
However, compared to before, this Leeds United team is still somewhat different in possession of the ball. The previous Leeds United team controlled the ball for the sake of possession, but now this Leeds United team is always looking for opportunities to control the ball.
No.20 minutes, Leeds United almost scored. Modric saw the opportunity and sent a through kick. Suarez reacted quickly and successfully countered offside, but unfortunately, Suarez failed to grasp the final shot.
No. In 205 minutes, Leeds United once again attacked Everton's hinterland. Modric, Delphi, Royce, Mata, Suarez, these players in the midfield once again tore through Everton's defense through continuous passing.
Eighteen passes, when Mata finally finished the shot, Leeds United completed eighteen one-passes, but this time it was blocked by the Everton goalkeeper.
Everton's goalkeeper is Howard from the United States. In the 03-04 season, Ferguson brought Manchester United to replace Butters. Unfortunately, he was replaced after one season due to poor performance. With the arrival of Van der Sar, Howard completely broke up with Manchester United and finally came to Everton.
Although he can't be the main goalkeeper of a wealthy team, Howard still performed well, otherwise he wouldn't be valued by Moyes.
Mata's shot is quite high. Because there are no defensive players around him, Mata has enough time to adjust, so the shot is not only angled, but also quite powerful, but it is still blocked.
The subsequent corner kick was topped by Van Dijk, but unfortunately the ball was slightly higher due to the interference of the defensive player, but it was still Leeds United's shot.
Everton took a goal kick and Fellaini headed to the first spot, but the ball was intercepted by Leeds United on the way Fellaini headed it to Arteta, and Leeds United took advantage of the situation to play a wave of fast breaks.
It's a pity that this wave of fast breaks came back in vain. Royce's last shot was not suppressed by the interference of the defensive players, and the ball flew out of the baseline again.
No.208 minutes, Leeds United continued to put pressure on Everton, but this time they failed to pose a real threat because the ball was cut off by Everton.
Yabo is a speed-type central defender, and this time Yabo relied on his own speed to cut off the ball at the feet of Leeds United. When Mata passed back to the middle, Yabo suddenly broke out, and a sliding shovel fell to the ground to cut off the ball.
Everton took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack. Yabo broke the ball and landed at the feet of Arteta. The Spaniard made a long pass directly, and Jonnyhausen competed with Cahill for the top.
Cahill's header ability can definitely rank among the top three in the Premier League, and Jonnyhausen, that can only be hehe, and the results later proved this.
Cahill easily headed the ball into the penalty area, and Yakubu on the front line obviously described Cahill's header ability very well, so he rushed to the Leeds United penalty area immediately.
The speed of both Pavon and Van Dijk is not slow, but it certainly cannot be compared with Yakubu, so when he rushed into the penalty area, Yakubu slightly opened the distance from the two.
Seeing this, Adler attacked decisively, but unfortunately, the ball still fell and landed at Yakubu's feet, and the latter didn't make any other moves, and immediately took a shot.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLThe ball went inGod It wasn't the dominant Leeds United who scored first."
"The ball went inEvertonEverton scored first Taking advantage of a counterattack opportunity, Yabo steals the ball, Arteta makes a long pass, Cahill heads the ball into the penalty area, and Yakubu rushes into the penalty area at high speed and shoots hard."
When Yakubu shot, the three players of Leeds United formed a siege. Unfortunately, this siege could not prevent Leeds United from conceding the ball.
In the stands, the Leeds United fans were stunned for a moment. Apparently, the fans didn't expect their team to concede the ball first, and then there was a huge booing. Of course, the boos were for the opponent.
In contrast, Everton is very happy, Leeds United is no longer what it used to be, and standing on the sidelines is the guy who has repeatedly performed miracles and broken the rules.
In the last round of last season, some media speculated that Ferguson wanted Li Yi to take over from Manchester United. Even after the game, Ferguson made no secret of his appreciation for Li Yi.
It has to be said that Ferguson is definitely the strongest in today's football in terms of playing psychological warfare. Just such a sentence is enough to disturb the morale of Leeds United's army, and at the same time, it is hated by many people who are waiting to take over Ferguson's class.
Moyes must be one of them, and even the most likely one. Not to mention that Moyes has led Everton to perform better in the past few years, he is still a fellow of Ferguson and a native of Scotland.
At the same time, the most important point is that Moyes is young. Whether it is Manchester United itself or Ferguson, they all hope to find a young successor who can work in the position of Manchester United head coach for a long time.
But Ferguson didn't have any advantage over Li Yi in this regard. Although Moyes was very young among the head coaches, even the young Li Yi was 19 years younger than Moyes.
On the pitch, the game has restarted. Although Leeds United fell behind unexpectedly, the Leeds United players were not affected. Although Leeds United rarely fell behind in games since Li Yi took over, this situation was not uncommon during Guardiola's time. Compared to before, Leeds United players have made great progress.
So when the game started, Leeds United was still the dominant side. Although Everton wanted to take the opportunity to take the initiative after scoring the goal, the result was not as they imagined.
No. In the 304th minute, Leeds United once again attacked Everton's hinterland. Delphi attracted the defense and split the side.
