Chapter 453
Elland Road was full of people, and the entire stand had been dyed white.
The players of both sides had already taken their positions, waiting for the referee Probert to blow the whistle to start the game.
Probert pressed his earphones with his hands and said a few words, then looked down at the watch. When he raised his head again, the whistle that resounded throughout the stadium rang.
The 29th round of the 2007-2008 Premier League.
The focus battle between Leeds United and Arsenal officially kicked off!
"The game has begun! Ladies and gentlemen, thank you again for subscribing to Sky Sports to watch this focus battle between Leeds United and Arsenal. In another game that ended at around 3 o'clock, Manchester United had already won Bolton at home and temporarily climbed to the top of the standings! And the result of this game will also determine whether the Premier League standings will change before the next round of games........." Lineker's mouth has never closed since Probert blew the whistle.
On the court.
After Adebayor kicked the ball out, Bendtner did not rush forward with the ball immediately, but chose to pass it back to Fabregas behind him.
Leeds United did not hide in their own half waiting for Arsenal to attack. Adriano took the lead, and three midfield players instantly pressed across the half and pressed towards Fabregas.
Seeing that there was no good opportunity to pass forward.
Fabregas also chose to pass back.
Arsenal began to pass the ball back in the backcourt. After several passes, the formations of both sides were also much more scattered than before.
"It seems that Arsenal is not in a hurry. They had suffered two consecutive draws in the league before, but they regained their confidence by defeating the defending champion AC Milan and reaching the quarterfinals in the Champions League." Although he is more optimistic about Leeds United, when it comes to commentary, Jon will try his best to remain neutral. "On the other hand, Leeds United showed a relatively anxious attitude after the opening. Several players in the front and midfield pressed very far forward. It seems that Li's tactical idea today is high-pressure pressing! Sitting at home, they must want to score first, which is understandable..."
Jon is still talking.
On the TV screen, Sagna made a long pass and moved the ball from the right to the left.
Clichy stopped Sagna's pass lightly, but unlike before, although Toure was standing less than ten meters away from him, Clichy did not pass the ball immediately.
After the opening.
Arsenal was already passing the ball back.
At first, only Adriano, Kaka and Rodriguez rushed to grab the ball from Leeds United.
It was almost impossible for this number of people to grab the ball from Arsenal's backcourt.
So gradually.
The three defensive midfielders behind them also pressed forward, and pressed very far forward.
If you look at it from a God's perspective.
At this time, Modric has changed from a defensive midfielder to a front midfielder, and Kaka and Rodriguez's positions at this time are more like two wingers!
Kaka turned his head to look at Modric, and after seeing Modric also focusing his eyes on him, his eyes turned again to the open space between Clichy and Toure.
Then.
Kaka turned back and exerted force on his feet, and quickly rushed towards Clichy who was still dribbling the ball on the wing.
Seeing that Clichy was being targeted, someone from Arsenal also came over to support him.
Behind Kaka, Fabregas pulled away and moved along the sideline, and then Toure also moved towards Clichy.
Strictly speaking.
Clichy could pass the ball forward or backward, but in Clichy's mind, passing forward was better, after all, the farther the football was from his own goal, the lower the threat.
But just when Clichy was about to pass the ball.
He found something wrong.
Originally, Fabregas pulled away to create a passing route for himself.
But Kaka, who was facing away from Fabregas, seemed to know the Spaniard's intention, and took advantage of the extra pull in front of him to block the gap that Fabregas had pulled out.
Seeing that Kaka was about to rush in front of him.
In desperation.
Clichy had to turn around, and without thinking, he passed the ball to Toure behind him!
But at the moment when Clichy kicked.
Modric, who was walking slowly, suddenly exerted his strength and rushed forward in one step!
Toure, who was about to touch the ball, felt his eyes blurred and saw Modric standing in front of him in a white jersey.
The ball.
Modric stopped it steadily at his feet!
While running.
Modric had already observed the position of his teammates, so after intercepting the ball, Modric did not act rashly.Rushing into the penalty area with the ball. Instead, he used the inside of his right foot to hold the ball, turned around on the spot, and avoided Toure who rushed up to grab the ball.
After adjusting the body angle again.
Seeing Adriano who was already in position in the penalty area.
Modric pushed the ball into the penalty area with the arch of his foot, and sent the ball to Adriano's feet!
····
When Modric rushed forward.
Adriano was not idle either.
The Brazilian who was originally hanging around the top of the penalty area also ran slowly into Arsenal's penalty area.
Toure went out to meet Clichy.
The task of defending Adriano naturally fell on Senderos.
So when Adriano, who was facing the goal, received Modric's pass, Senderos was behind Adriano, holding his body tightly against the Brazilian striker.
In the past.
Perhaps Adriano would choose to pass the ball at this time, after all, he had his back to the goal, and Kaka, Rodriguez, and Modric, who had just passed the ball to him, had already pulled to the empty position.
Pass the ball to them and let them shoot.
Rationally speaking.
This is definitely the best choice.
Of course.
The premise is that there was no speech by Li Shiguang in the locker room before the start of the game.
With the imperial decree issued by Li Shiguang.
The word "pass" had been driven out of Adriano's brain at this time.
After receiving the ball.
Adriano first tried to lean back, and after finding that the force against him was not the kind that could not be squeezed, the Brazilian striker suddenly exerted force backward with his whole body.
From the perspective of others.
It was seen that Senderos, who had been holding on to the front, seemed to be suddenly pushed by a force, and just took two steps back!
Senderos's brain was also blank at this time!
What the hell is this! ?
The last time I felt this kind of feeling of being completely unable to squeeze was at Chelsea's Ivorian monster!
Why is this Brazilian so strong! ? His skin is not dark! When did South Americans have this kind of physical talent! ?
Unconvinced, Senderos pushed forward again, thinking that he must not let Adriano turn around in front of him at all costs.
But the next second.
Senderos felt the powerlessness that he had only felt with Drogba before...
