The game was a climax, but the game was a success.
After Ribery scored the first goal, the balance between the two teams that had been maintained for nearly 20 minutes was broken, and West Brom, who had wanted to defend and look for opportunities, had to attack.
However, the forward movement of the formation caused the space between the back line and the goalkeeper to increase immediately, so under the command of Li Shiguang, Leeds United has been using the width of the field to transfer horizontally to find opportunities during this period.
When the game came to the 31st minute, watching several Leeds United players constantly passing the ball in the midfield, West Bromwich Albion, who had been patient for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore. Just when Bale passed the ball back to Toure in the center circle, West Bromwich Albion's line suddenly changed its rhythm. At the same time, three players rushed to Toure who was about to receive the ball, trying to break the ball from Toure's feet.
But Toure's attention has always been very focused. Seeing West Bromwich Albion's players rushing towards him, he only took a step and immediately kicked the ball out. This time it was not a back pass or a side pass, but a forward pass!
The football flew towards the West Bromwich Albion goal at a very fast speed along the grass.
It fell to Falcao's feet who successfully countered the offside!
Falcao was not polite after receiving the ball, and he didn't care whether he was offside or not. Instead, he dribbled the ball directly into the West Bromwich Albion penalty area, and then swung his foot directly, kicking the ball hard to the upper left of the West Bromwich Albion goal.
The goalkeeper did make a save, but he was still a step slower in his reaction to the powerful shot, and could only watch the ball fly into the goal from above his palm!
"Oh! The Colombian rushed into West Brom's penalty area like a bulldozer at full power, and West Brom was completely unable to stop Leeds United's attack! 2:0, Falcao also scored a goal! Leeds United's warriors are gradually fulfilling their head coach's pre-match predictions!" Ere Geddy's iconic roar came from Leeds United on TV. He hadn't been commentating at Elland Road for three weeks. Seeing Leeds United score another goal, he jumped up from his chair in excitement.
Falcao's goal completely defeated West Brom, which was already in low morale, so when the game resumed, West Brom's enthusiasm was greatly reduced in both pressing and organizing the attack, and the players were running around on the field like headless flies. On the other hand, Leeds United played more easily. Once they got the ball, they controlled the rhythm by constantly passing the ball, and then suddenly launched a threatening counterattack.
It's stable!
Looking at the situation on the court, and then looking at Blackwell who was anxious but helpless beside him, Li Shiguang smiled contemptuously and sat back in the coaching seat, because he knew that at least in the remaining time of the first half, West Bromwich Albion would not be able to make any waves.
Facts have proved that there is nothing wrong with Li Shiguang's judgment. Before the end of the first half, Falcao, who was in great form today, broke through West Bromwich Albion's defense with a sharp breakthrough, and was finally knocked down in the penalty area by West Bromwich Albion's attacking goalkeeper. The referee who was following Falcao saw it clearly. Although West Bromwich Albion's players surrounded the referee and argued vigorously, they still couldn't avoid a red dot meal.
The most outrageous thing is that the West Bromwich goalkeeper was sent off, and today's substitute goalkeeper Blackwell only brought Howard. In desperation, he had to withdraw a striker and replace him with Howard.
Facing Howard, who had not played a formal game for a long time, Falcao easily scored the ball, and then the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
Leeds United entered the halftime break with a 3-goal lead.
15 minutes later, West Bromwich, who returned to the field with one less player, completely lost the ability to fight back. At the beginning of the second half, Leeds United pressed it firmly in its own half.
In the 54th minute, Dzeko received a cross from Bale in the penalty area and headed past Howard, 0:4, scoring his first goal since joining Leeds United.
In the 60th minute, Falcao received the ball at the top of the penalty area and suddenly shot a cold arrow, 0:5, and personally got a hat trick in this game.
In the 83rd minute, West Bromwich Albion committed a foul about 22 meters away from the goal. Leeds United won a direct free kick, which Deisler scored, 0:6.
When Deisler scored this goal, the entire Hawthorns Stadium could hear any voice cheering for West Bromwich Albion.
Instead, there was endless abuse. Seeing the West Bromwich Albion players who were lifeless, bent over, and panting, the home fans began to curse and leave the stadium early. They really didn't want to see their beloved team being slaughtered at home without any ability to fight back. And most importantly, they didn't see any spirit of not admitting defeat in this team.
Looking at the oriental man standing on the sidelines, wearing a neat suit and his hands in his trouser pockets, and then looking at the old man with sparse hair and a painful expression sitting in the coach's seat, what a sharp contrast!
Some fans wanted to open their mouths and curse Li Shiguang before leaving, but they didn't know how to start. After all, he conquered the Hawthorn Stadium with real strength today. No matter how arrogant his remarks before the game were, he not only did it, but also did it twice! He slapped everyone in the face!
Li Shiguang didn't know this. Seeing that the situation was already decided, he immediately made substitutions, replacing Deisler, Chiellini, and Yaya Toure at once, and letting Juanfran and Javi Garcia, who had not played this season, go up to play.
Finally, after Falcao's shot missed, with more than 40 seconds left in stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
In the end, Leeds United beat West Brom 6-0 away.
After the game, Li Shiguang, who wanted to shake hands with Blackwell, didn't even see this person in the West Brom coaching seat... It is conceivable how much pain he was hurt by this game.
The next day after returning to Leeds, Li Shiguang saw the news of Blackwell's dismissal in the newspaper.
There was no way. Yesterday's game completely shattered the resolve of the West Brom board of directors. They had to choose a new head coach even if they had to pay a little penalty. So, just after the press conference, Blackwell, who was exhausted, had just driven away from the Hawthorns Stadium when he received a call that he had been unilaterally fired.
After learning this news, Li Shiguang's last bit of dissatisfaction with Blackwell also disappeared.
As the saying goes: God has his own way, and no one can escape.
