Chapter 674 The strength is crushed
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL1:0The opening 3 minutes, this is the Leeds United we are familiar with."
"Cavani received Lennon's cross and overwhelmed the defender with a header. Cavani is telling the world that he is no worse than his compatriots." It is said that Suarez and Cavani have been named the twin stars of Uruguay. They are the leaders of the new generation of Uruguay after Forlan.
It's just a pity for the Uruguayan fans that Li Yi rarely lets Suarez and Cavani play together. If Li Yi can show the Uruguayan national team, then they don't have to worry about how the national team uses the two.
On the sidelines, Tottenham coach Redknapp looked helpless. Before the game started, he repeatedly emphasized to be careful of Leeds United's opening attack, but the facts told him that some things are useful without emphasis.
Leeds United always seems to have a kind of magical power, always able to score goals shortly after the opening, and in the end Redknapp can only turn his attention to the celebrating figure on the sidelines of Leeds United.
Redknapp had the truth, but Redknapp didn't know the truth about himself, and Li Yi didn't know what the old man was thinking at the moment.
In this game, what Li Yi has to do is to score goals as soon as possible and hold the initiative in his own hands as much as possible. The Champions League is important, but the league is equally important. Moreover, with Manchester United already exerting their strength, Leeds United must not lose the chain.
Although the substitute lineup arranged by Li Yi for this game, Leeds United's current substitute lineup is not bad, even faintly stronger than the weakened version of Tottenham, not to mention Li Yi is still playing.
The game soon resumed. Tottenham wanted to counterattack, but the threat of Tottenham's counterattack was not great. In fact, Tottenham had always been a team that relied relatively on the wing. Unfortunately, their wing was now greatly weakened by Li Yi.
Lennon is galloping on the field at the moment, but what he passes is not the white of Tottenham, but the white of Leeds United. Leeds United, who are playing at home, naturally have to wear the home jersey.
Bell didn't even make it to the big list. At the moment, Reus is occupying the left side. The German teenager has been making continuous progress. Although he can't compare with the explosive Bell this season, his performance is still excellent.
Li Yi didn't want to overdraw Royce and let him go down the old path, and Li Yi also wouldn't overdraw Bell, so the two formed an effective complementarity in Leeds United.
In the 8th minute, Royce created a very good breakthrough on the wing. After wading through David Bentley, he accelerated and wiped out Joel Luka, and then went straight into the penalty area and kicked a shot, which was pushed out by goalkeeper Cudicini.
This winter, Tottenham also signed a substitute goalkeeper Cudicini from Chelsea. It is said that the Robinson sold by Tottenham was a nerve knife, but in fact the Brazilian goalkeeper Gomez bought back was also a nerve knife. This made the old coach definitely introduce veteran Cudicini from Chelsea.
However, as far as the current performance is concerned, Cudicini is not as good as Redknapp thought. The Italian goalkeeper's state has declined a bit quickly.
In fact, this is normal. Cudicini used to be a good goalkeeper, but after Cech moved to Chelsea, he could only sit on the bench.
To be honest, the two goalkeepers of Tottenham might as well keep Robinson. Of course, these words are useless. Tottenham have already made a choice, and the two have completed their transfers one after another.
On the pitch, Leeds United made a corner kick clearance and Tottenham wanted to play a quick counterattack. Robbie Keane was very fast, but Huddlestone was a little slow, which also gave Leeds United a chance to react. The two full-backs of Leeds United were not slow.
The counterattack was unsuccessful, and there was not even a shot at the end, because Leeds United, who had retreated from Leeds, intercepted the ball and quickly scored into Tottenham's hinterland again.
Delphi held the ball outside the penalty area and was brought down by Palacios. Leeds United got a good free kick opportunity, but it is a pity that no one in Leeds United's lineup is particularly good at free kicks.
The subsequent free throws also proved this point. The ball flew directly out of the baseline, and then Tottenham took a goal kick with a big foot. Darren Bent retreated and headed the ball to David Bentley.
A 45-degree pass from the side, a half-air ball, Robbie Keane rushed into the penalty area and dived to the top. This fast break was still very threatening, and it only took two kicks to pass into the penalty area.
However, Adler's attention was very concentrated, and he blocked the ball before it flew into the goal. The subsequent corner kick did not give Tottenham any chance, and he directly rushed to take the ball off.
This is also the best opportunity for Tottenham since the opening, and it can even be said to be the best opportunity in the first half. Compared with the few opportunities created by Tottenham, Leeds United has many more opportunities, and seized the opportunity to expand the lead.
In the 301st minute of the first half, Delphi stepped in again, and Rakitic controlled the offensive and defensive rhythm of the game. Delphi played more of Modric's role in this lineup, but compared to Modric, Delphi focused more on offense.
The goal of Leeds United came from Delphi's plug-in. Leeds connected to Rakitic and rushed into the hinterland of Leeds United, and then made a match with Cavani. With the help of Cavani, Delphi came outside the Tottenham penalty area.
At this moment, Delphi can already take a shot, and in fact Delphi is also doing the same, but Delphi is not a real shot, but a fake shot. After attracting the attention of Tottenham defenders, Delphi rushed out with a very penetrating diagonal plug.
Royce, the German winger inserted at high speed, caught up with the ball and shot directly. The old Cudicini couldn't react at all this time. Leeds United expanded their advantage and rewritten the score to 2:0.
"Another 2:0" The media watching this game are too lazy to complain, because the recent Leeds United wins almost 2:0 in the first half of every game.
After the goal, Leeds United wanted to establish a victory in one game, and Tottenham also thought about counterattacking, but under the morale of Leeds United, Tottenham could only choose to back down.
Seeing such a situation, the media on the sidelines were immediately disappointed, because in their opinion, the game had lost suspense, and the strength of Leeds United was not something that Tottenham could shake.
In just a few years, the situation of the two teams has almost completely reversed, but this pair of transfers is not that Tottenham went bankrupt and relegated, but that Leeds United caught up and surpassed.
Immediately, the performance in the second half also proved the conjecture of the media. Although Tottenham did not give up, there was a big gap between the two sides in terms of strength and morale, especially morale.
Leeds United has a high morale and is currently at the top of the league standings. It is the most powerful contender for the championship this season, but Tottenham is deep in the middle and lower reaches, only 5 points behind Middlesbrough, which is the bottom one.
It is no exaggeration to say that Tottenham have reached the verge of relegation. If they do not exert their strength, then they may really be in tragedy.
