Chapter 639 The Victory Is In The Second Half
Then Everton played a wave of good cooperation, Arteta held the ball in the middle, Phil Neville plugged in from the side, and Arteta immediately flew to the side.
And when Phil Neville advanced along the wing, Fellaini followed up in the middle and rushed into the penalty area. Then Phil Neville kicked a pass and Fellaini overwhelmed the young Van Dijk with a header.
Van Dijk is not inferior to Fellaini in height and body, but Van Dijk is much younger than Fellaini after all, and there is no way to compare his experience, so this header is at a disadvantage.
However, Fellaini's header failed to cross Adler's ten fingers, and the Leeds United goalkeeper flew up and blocked it with one hand before the ball crossed the goal line.
Then Everton started a corner kick, but the Everton players did not touch the corner kick. Adler accurately judged the landing point and punched the ball out.
Leeds United took advantage of the situation to launch a quick counterattack, Suarez immediately split sides after receiving the pass, Royce advanced along the wing, Phil Neville and Valente desperately chased back.
Valente, a veteran, really tried his best to entangle Royce, but even so, Royce still sent the ball into the penalty area.
Suarez and Phil Neville competed for the top of the penalty area, and they both took off at the same time, and Royce's ball also fell at this time.
"GOOOOOOOOOOL Goal in oh Goal in Own goalGod Mayfair Neville headed the ball into his own goal."
Royce's cross was not good, and he lacked a little strength, so the ball landed on Phil Neville's header from the front point, but the Everton captain did not complete the clearance.
Under Suarez's entanglement, the ball was pushed towards his own goal, and this situation was obviously not what goalkeeper Howard could have expected.
Therefore, when the ball flew towards his goal, Howard was stunned, and Phil Neville was even more frightened. As for Suarez, who cares at this time.
"Leeds United evened the score with an own goal." The commentator was stunned. In the stands, the Everton players vomited blood even more depressed.
As the so-called feng shui turns, Leeds United fans can now celebrate to their heart's content. Although it is not their own player who scored the goal, an own goal can even damage the morale of the opponent.
After the celebration, the game restarted. Everton's morale was hit because of this own goal, so they had little desire to attack in the next time.
Moyes on the sidelines also found out about his team's situation, so he immediately made a decision to retreat and defend, and let's talk about it after the first half.
Everton wants to bring the victory into the second half before deciding, but Leeds United is not like this. Under the ebb and flow, Leeds United's offense is even stronger.
But in the face of Everton who is fully defensive, it is not easy for Leeds United to score goals, and because Beckham and Bell are not there, Everton is not afraid to give Leeds United a free kick.
In fact, Leeds United is not without people who can kick free kicks at the moment, but it is impossible to compare with Beckham. Although Beckham is not as abnormal as Junior Juninho, the difference between the two is not too big.
So when the first half ended, the score was still 1:1, but if Leeds United were given a little more time, maybe the game would be different. Unfortunately, the rest of the first half was just that little time.
"Let's take it easy in the second half," Li Yi said after returning to the locker room.
In the first half, Leeds United's offensive was very strong, but it was Everton who scored the first goal. Although they equalized the score, in fact Everton did a very good job defensively.
What does this mean?It shows that Moyes has made sufficient preparations for this game.
In terms of strength, Leeds United definitely has an advantage, so as long as it is normal, then Leeds United will definitely win in the end. Of course, the football game is too unknown, and the real victory or defeat will definitely not only depend on paper strength.
However, the advantages of strong strength on paper are still obvious. Therefore, Leeds United is qualified to respond to all changes without change. First, let's see how the opponent makes moves.
Leeds United is not in a hurry to attack, and Everton is actually not in a hurry. They are lacking in strength. If Everton is impatient, it will be even more difficult to win the game.
So after the second half of the game restarted, the two sides played quite restrained, and the result was that the scene became a bit dull for a while.
However, this situation didn't last long. When the game came to No. 60 minutes and saw that Everton hadn't changed much, Li Yi stood up and waved his hand. Leeds United began to strengthen their attack on the field.
On the other side, Moyes could sit still. After Leeds United began to strengthen their offensive, Everton did not make any tactical changes.
"It's really calm." Li Yi couldn't help but look at Moyes.
But in fact, it's not that Moyes can hold his breath, it's that he can't help it. As the saying goes, a smart woman can't live without rice. Although Moyes doesn't want to admit it, the fact is that Leeds United is indeed stronger than Everton.
And defensive counterattack was originally Moyes' tactic in this game, but the fight at the beginning of the first half was too deceptive, making Li Yi think that Moyes had some other tricks.
As time passed, Li Yi naturally realized that he was thinking too much, so the next moment was the moment that really decided the outcome of this match.
No. 605 minutes, Leeds United almost completed the overtake in the score, Delph blasted a long shot at the top of the arc, but unfortunately it ended up on the crossbar.
It is not that Everton did not continue to regain the lead. In No.70 two minutes, Fellaini intercepted Modric's pass, and Everton took advantage of the situation to fight back.
Cahill watched from behind the penalty area as Van Dijk headed the ball into the dead corner, but Adler saved his own goal with a world-class save before it flew into the net.
In this game, Van Dijk played very depressed. Facing an opponent who was more than ten centimeters shorter than himself, he still failed to take advantage of the header.
Regarding his height and body, Van Dijk is very confident, but today, Cahill taught Van Dijk a good lesson, telling the young central defender that height and body are not everything.
However, Van Dijk's environment is very good, and he has a group of very reliable teammates around him. Pavon is not a top defender, but he has rich experience, and those previous experiences have sharpened him even stronger.
Adler is also the most promising goalkeeper in world football. His performance in this game was quite outstanding, and he resolved Everton's counterattack many times.
In addition, the two full-backs are also very good in this game, but the main thing is that Everton's two sides did not put enough pressure on Danny Rose and Kyle Walker.
