The ball was thrown out, and the opponent was in trouble.
Sitting at the top of the field, it can be said that Eddie Gray saw the situation on the field more clearly than anyone else. From the moment Alonso broke through, he never closed his mouth.
"Ogbeta rushed up, he wanted to stop Alonso's advance from the front! George, who was passed, also caught up and was very close to Alonso. Alonso should be careful!"
"Oh! Beautiful pass, so surprising, how did he find the position of his teammates accurately while dribbling at high speed???"
No one can answer Eddie Gray's question, even if they know, there is no time to answer him now! Because now everyone's attention is on the football flying in the air!
A second ago, when everyone thought that this attack would come to an abrupt end under the double-teaming of Ogbeta and George, Alonso, who was carrying the ball at high speed, suddenly stopped suddenly, and then lightly passed the ball. The speed of the ball was not too fast, but the force was just right. It flew over Ogbeta's head, and the place where the football landed was exactly where Santos, another defender, had not had time to make up after Ogbeta rushed up. But now, Falcao, who had no defensive players around him, was waiting there!
After Falcao received the ball, he dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Facing the attacking Bolton goalkeeper Baxter, Falcao, who had already scored 11 goals in the league, was very calm. At the moment Baxter fell to the ground, Falcao gently leaned with his left foot, just like Alonso just did, easily passed Baxter, and then scored the ball into the empty goal!
"Falcao---Garcia!! Our top scorer!! In the 11th minute, Leeds United took the lead!! What a wonderful start, ladies and gentlemen! Give your applause and cheers to Falcao who scored and Alonso who assisted~~~~" Eddie Gray shouted excitedly.
Falcao who scored was also very excited. Amid the cheers of the fans, he turned around, stretched out his hands, pointed at Alonso who assisted him, then ran to Alonso, knelt on one knee, and rubbed Alonso's right foot on his knee. Such a funny way of celebration made Alonso laugh.
After the two finished celebrating, they walked to their own half surrounded by their teammates. Alonso, who was still immersed in excitement, subconsciously looked at the coaching seat on the sidelines, and a scene that made him even happier appeared. Li Shiguang was looking at him with a smile on his face, stretching out his hands and giving him a thumbs up!
"It feels so good to be valued!" Alonso thought.
After scoring the goal, the morale of the entire Leeds United team was boosted, and the offensive was even higher.
On the Bolton side, head coach Allardyce immediately arranged for players to defend Alonso closely after losing the ball, and once Alonso got the ball, he would immediately enjoy the same treatment as Modric.
Bolton's changes did not escape Li Shiguang's eyes, but he did not make any tactical changes.
In the past, Modric was generally strictly guarded, and Li Shiguang would let the players focus on the attack on the wing, allowing the players to make full use of the width of the court to find opportunities, but now, he doesn't have to.
You must know that Alonso's football IQ is not covered. As soon as he found that he had become the target of strict defense, he directly took on the responsibility of attracting defense. As long as he saw more than two Bolton players attracted by him, he would immediately pass the ball to Modric and let Modric organize the attack.
Therefore, during this period, Leeds United's offensive did not decrease at all. Instead, Bolton's players made frequent mistakes due to a lot of running!
In the 31st minute of the game, Modric saw the opportunity in the midfield and sent a beautiful through pass. Ribery used his speed to get rid of Cogley's defense and then made a cross. In the penalty area, Ogbeta had the upper hand in the header with Berbatov, but because of Berbatov's influence, Ogbeta did not head the ball too far, and barely headed out of the penalty area. When everyone's eyes were focused on the football, Alonso, who had quietly killed to the outside of Bolton's penalty area, rushed up.
Facing the defensive player who wanted to rush up to block, Alonso swung his right leg, and without waiting for the football to land, he directly hit the bottom of the football hard, and then saw that the football did not carry
With a slight rotation, it flew towards Bolton's goal like a rocket!
Because there was no cover, Baxter was ready to save the ball when Alonso took the shooting posture, but the power and speed of the shot were still beyond Baxter's expectations. Although he had stretched his body to the maximum extent after taking off, and even his fingers had touched the ball, he still couldn't change the direction of the ball's flight.
"Shua~~~"
After landing, the unique sound of the ball hitting the net reminded Baxter that they were already 2 goals behind!
It is undeniable that this was a beautiful world wave. Li Shiguang felt excited watching it on the sidelines, not to mention the fans around him and Eddie Gray sitting in front of the microphone.
"It's so beautiful!!! Leeds United leads 2:0!!! The goal was scored by Xavi --- Alonso!!!"
"If the boys can maintain their current state in the remaining time, I can responsibly say that Leeds United is very close to the semi-finals of the League Cup!"
After the Leeds United players finished celebrating, the game resumed. Bolton's players did not seem to want to lose the game. They were already 2 goals behind, but they changed their previous performance and became more active in the attack than before.
Facing Bolton's counterattack, Leeds United, which had just been attacking rapidly, chose to shrink its defense under the command of Li Shiguang. Bolton seemed to have the advantage in the whole scene, but in fact they only got more ball possession time than before. When the team's offense basically advanced to about 30 meters from the Leeds United gate, the defensive intensity they encountered would suddenly increase.
Modric and Alonso were directly cruising at the top of the penalty area. Once Leeds United stole the ball, the two would immediately look for opportunities through long passes.
The two sides were in a stalemate for more than 10 minutes. After seeing Bolton's attack being blocked by Pique out of the sideline, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
