Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Chapter 238 Sorry, you are not the only one who can defend and counterattack!

"Rivaldo! Super exciting goal! Showing the agility and elegance of Samba football in the Chelsea penalty area!"

"Leeds United took the lead at Stamford Bridge, and here comes the precious away goal!"

"Chelsea's overall rhythm is still completely chaotic, but we in white have already opened our goal account."

"Mourinho is definitely in a state of confusion at this moment."

Mourinho will not panic, but the disadvantage of the situation for Chelsea is clearly visible to the naked eye.

The key to the difficulty in reversing the situation is that Leeds United's overall state started too quickly, and their sense of rhythm was significantly stronger than Chelsea's.

This put the game completely in Leeds' control.

Shen Hao shook his arms and roared excitedly.

Leading Chelsea by one goal in the away game actually gives Leeds United a very big advantage.

Doesn’t Chelsea like to defend against counterattacks?

If Leeds United withdraws at this time and also defends against counterattack, what will Chelsea do?

Even if Chelsea equalizes the score.

Leeds United can continue to defend against counterattacks when they return to Elland Road.

Because they have away goals!

This is the charm of the Champions League knockout rounds.

Away goals are more valuable than home goals.

Leeds United fans roared with excitement.

No very Tailai.

Originally, I came to Stamford Bridge today with a bit of sadness.

Unexpectedly, Ronaldo unexpectedly returned from injury and became a starter.

And the overall condition of the team is better and stronger than expected.

Now they are bearing fruit, they are ahead of Chelsea, and advancing to the semi-finals is not a dream at all!

Although Leeds United has a history of finishing second in the Champions League, for Leeds United fans of the past 20 years, their most glorious memory of the team in the Champions League was when O'Reilly led the team to enter the Champions League a few years ago. The top four.

At that time, the world football media also gave Leeds United the title of Young Guards in White.

That team was falling apart.

Many talented people at that time were separated.

The only one left on the team is Kelly, the loyal man in white.

Reliving old dreams is not far away!

Before Chelsea kicked off, Mourinho looked fierce, gestured to the team, and shouted.

Fouls, fault tolerance, rhythm break!

They couldn't let Leeds continue to attack.

Leeds United must slow down its pace and cool down its state.

Tactically, since they chose a passive and conservative defensive counterattack, the only method they could use was fouling.

Maybe a Spanish team can use ball control to reshape the rhythm of the game.

But Chelsea didn't dare do that.

The formation is too deep and passing more passes in the midfield and backfield means playing with fire.

Chelsea's offensive performance is still beyond words.

Structurally, the midfielder is complete and flexible, and Ballack and Lampard can basically guarantee the team's offensive organization.

But when the offense developed into the frontcourt, it was a mess.

In a relatively complex environment with no open space, Chelsea itself is not good at position penetration.

Coupled with the fact that Kalaw and Shevchenko repeatedly intercepted the ball after the start, Leeds United's energetic and active running, whether it was forming a zone defense or blocking restrictions, always put Chelsea in a difficult situation of fighting alone in the frontcourt.

The offense cannot open things up.

The defense in the midfield and backfield frequently took foul measures in order to interrupt the rhythm of Leeds United's smooth offensive.

This will reduce Leeds United's offensive transfer efficiency and give Chelsea better room for defensive adjustments.

The flow of the game took a devastating blow.

Leeds United had more free kick opportunities.

Rui Costa hit three consecutive direct free kicks within the goal range, but they were all saved by Cech.

Chelsea fans were trembling in the stands.

Mourinho looked gloomy on the sidelines.

Chelsea's counterattack still failed to pose a threat.

In this situation, both sides should be flying together, and threats can gradually become more threatening.

But today's fight against Shevchenko resulted in a quick counterattack that was not ideal.

It can even be said that Mourinho did not originally intend to win Leeds United at home by relying on counterattacks.

If Ronaldo is unable to play, Shen Hao will inevitably become cautious and conservative in technical and tactical design.

But it was Ronaldo who started the game!

Now Mourinho only hopes that the first half of the game will end quickly.

Chelsea needs both ideological and technical adjustments, as well as substitutions.

When the first half of the game approached 40 minutes, Rui Costa received Ribery's pass in the middle of the frontcourt. He controlled the ball on the spot and faked a dunk. Ballack failed to press and pulled.

Rui Costa was dragged to a stop.

The referee's whistle sounded.

Barak dyed yellow.

Rui Costa once again faced a direct free kick opportunity in an excellent position.

The other Leeds United players had no intention of trying.

Rui Costa's direct free kicks have been pretty good before.

It can only be said that at least two of Cech's three wonderful saves were world-class!

Chelsea set up their wall.

Rui Costa looked at the situation in the penalty area, and his face that exuded the charm of a mature man showed no signs of trouble.

But his serious eyes flickered inexplicably when scanning the Chelsea penalty area.

When the referee's whistle blew, Rui Costa took a running start.

The moment Chelsea's wall took off, Rui Costa shot the ball!

All the audience's eyes widened in shock instantly!

Rui Costa didn't shoot, but passed the ball!

The football rolled to the right side of the penalty area.

Roll through the empty space on the right side of the human wall!

Everyone saw that in the suddenly chaotic penalty area, Rivaldo rushed to the front of the small penalty area to meet the ball, and flicked the ball to the far corner of the goal with his left foot!

Cech reacted quickly when he blocked the attack, but he still let the football fly past first!

Terry, who returned to the defense in the wall, jumped up and tried to volley the ball in front of the goal line.

But the football he kicked upwards with his right foot hit the net above inside the goal.

He fell hard into the goal, and the football fell and bounced right next to him.

Stamford Bridge, the earth is shaking!

"Rivaldo! Scored twice! It's really unexpected. Rivaldo, whose efficiency has dropped significantly this season compared to last season, suddenly broke out today!"

"Rivaldo was born for big scenes! Two goals, both unparalleled and hard to replace!"

"Leeds lead Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge!"

Rivaldo laughed and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate. The Leeds United players roared passionately and chased his back.

Shen Hao raised his arms and roared again.

Chelsea dragged their feet, trying to cool down Leeds United.

It's already done everything possible.

But they still couldn't stop Leeds from scoring goals.

Mourinho's mind went blank for a brief moment.

He knew very well in his heart that with a two-goal deficit... Chelsea's Champions League journey would probably end in the quarterfinals.

After coming to his senses, he clenched his fists.

One mistake, the whole game is lost!

Damn Leeds United.

If Ronaldo was used to act, then this big play of cheating would definitely be called despicable and shameless, without any moral ethics.

If it was Ronaldo who miraculously recovered...it would be even scarier.

Leeds United have the uncanny ability to resurrect players indefinitely.

Such an opponent has a huge advantage!

Mourinho now has fear deep in his heart.

Because he knows what it means to be two goals behind.

When Shen Hao gestured for the team to withdraw and strengthen defense, Mourinho only hoped that it was the end of the first half and Leeds United was just trying to hold on to the lead.

Abramovich, who was watching the game from the box, looked depressed.

He came to England a year earlier than Shen Hao.

Spent more money, although won the Premier League championship earlier.

But looking at it now, Shen Hao, who came a year later, has already caught up with him.

Chelsea have a Premier League title and so does Leeds United.

And Leeds United also has a Europa League trophy.

As for the local cup trophies, they can be ignored.

The portions are not high.

Now Leeds United's lineup is also more famous than Chelsea and looks more gorgeous.

Abu couldn't figure out what was going on.

In fact, many people can't understand it.

At a time when the world thought that a group of veterans whose combat effectiveness was no longer at the top level, they had a second spring at Leeds United, and the team they formed had a combat effectiveness that was absolutely comparable to the top in the world.

Occasionally it can bring unexpected surprises.

The magic of Leeds United has begun to transform into horror!

The first half of the game came to an end.

Players from both teams went back to the locker room to take a rest.

Chelsea fans frowned.

Leeds United fans are in high spirits.

The night suddenly seemed very dreamy to them.

After adjustments at halftime.

The two teams returned to the court to change sides and prepare to continue fighting.

Chelsea make a substitution before kick-off.

"Shevchenko was taken off and Joe Cole came on."

"Joe Cole, who performed well in the World Cup, has been affected by injuries this season. After returning from injury, his condition and performance have taken a sharp turn. I don't know if he will play the role of Chelsea's surprise player today."

"Haha, even if Joe Cole is in his strongest state, he has not reached the heaven-defying level."

Mourinho knows his substitutions need to see results.

But at least the structure is reasonable in terms of configuration.

However, the situation on the field after the kick-off of the second half made Mourinho's heart instantly sink to the bottom!

Leeds United...started to fight back!

Shen Hao looked focused, but his eyes were a bit ferocious!

More than three months ago, it was in this stadium.

Leeds United's cross-season unbeaten run has come to an end.

Today, he is here to end Chelsea's Champions League run this season.

Mourinho is recognized as a master of counterattacks.

So, when his team can't defend against counterattacks, what abilities can he show to the world?

Shen Hao knew very well that the unexpected impact of Ronaldo's starting lineup could not last forever.

A two-goal lead in the first half was already a dream result.

This is Stamford Bridge!

When leading by one goal, he can seek to expand the lead based on the situation on the field.

You can't be willful when you're two goals ahead.

Instead, we must make good use of this lead and use this as a basis to push Chelsea into a desperate situation!

Except for the trident, Leeds United's other players stay in the backcourt to ensure a tight defense.

Chelsea started to have more possession of the ball.

But the offensive organization has reached the frontcourt, and after encountering an interception in the middle, it must move to the side.

Neither Kalou nor Joe Cole dared to rush in alone, and there were not many options to try to cooperate. The only options were Drogba who took the initiative to respond or the midfielder who came in from behind.

The support ability of the full-backs is not optimistic.

Lars Diarra is originally a defensive midfielder and a guest full-back.

Ashley Cole's offensive ability has been greatly curbed after moving from Arsenal to Chelsea, and now it is rare to see him making waves in the frontcourt.

Chelsea attack is constipated.

The effect is hard to describe.

Leeds United's quick counterattack is constantly brewing greater threats.

Ronaldo, who stayed in the frontcourt and pressed the back line, really did not contribute to the defense.

After all, Leeds United started to defend against counterattacks. In the first half, he returned to defend because of the close distance.

If we return to defense at this time, both the retreat and the forward transition will be too long.

He only cares about one end, and of course offense is the priority for him.

Just after 60 minutes of the game, Lampard rushed to the front area of ​​​​the penalty area to receive Drogba's short pass, but he had no space to deal with it.

The double attack between Jamie Redknapp and Roy Keane forced him to smash the ball and move forward.

As a result, Kompany saw the right opportunity and intercepted the ball head-on.

Kompany then passed the ball diagonally to the wing.

Kelly passed the ball to Jamie Redknapp who turned and ran forward.

Redknapp dribbled forward, and Ballack stepped forward to counterattack before he could return to defense.

Jamie Redknapp calmly crossed the ball into the middle.

Under Mikel's pressure, Rui Costa sauntered to the ball and accelerated the lateral dribbling to get rid of it in one step.

Then he suddenly sent an overhead kick from the spot.

The football was not high from the ground, but just out of reach of Terry and Carvalho who turned around!

The two Chelsea center backs turned back to defend, only to see Ronaldo's back!

Ronaldo succeeded in countering the offside move and responded with Rui Costa's wonderful overhead through ball, which was also a perfect offload.

As if the ball was glued to his feet, his forward speed continued unabated, with frequent stops.

This kind of cooperation makes Leeds United fans so mesmerized that they want to moan with pleasure!

Ronaldo dribbles forward and approaches the penalty area.

Cech strikes.

Chelsea fans' scalps were numb and they could already smell the breath of death.

When Ronaldo and Cech met in front of the penalty area, Ronaldo just lowered his shoulders and swung his body in an attempt to deceive Cech's center of gravity.

But he saw someone coming from the left to shovel the football in front of him!

Ras-Diarra!

Ronaldo was careless and unexpectedly squandered this God-given opportunity!

Cech quickly ran in the direction of the football rolling.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Las Diarra tried to risk a red card and destroyed the football, but Rivaldo, who followed up with a follow-up shot, directly sent a powerful shot into Chelsea's goal without adjusting. !

Ashley Cole followed the outside and chased, but he followed the ball all the way but failed to play a real defensive role.

Rivaldo himself looked surprised as he opened his arms and rushed towards the visiting team's fans' stands.

"Who would have thought? Who would have thought that Rivaldo would score a hat-trick at Stamford Bridge today!"

"Ronaldo's problem of having to pass the goalkeeper needs to be cured. What a great opportunity. It was almost gone. Fortunately, by some combination of circumstances, Rivaldo's hat-trick came true!"

"Haha, Chelsea, you are not the only one who knows how to fight back. As long as Leeds Lenovo, I, Brother Hao, can still lead the team to play a defensive counterattack that makes the opponent despair!"
