chapter 65

________________________________________

As soon as James's words came out, David Olivier next to him immediately cast a surprised and puzzled look.

He stared at James for a while, and finally smiled disdainfully and shook his head.

Just a joke.

I will teach this coach to be a man at the meeting~.

And with this question being asked, the pre-match press conference for this game has been completed.

The two head coaches left the press conference and walked towards the locker room.

Make final preparations for this upcoming FA Cup round of 16 game.

afternoon.

About two fifty-five.

Players from both sides came to the field and began to make pre-match adjustments.

Leeds United's lineup is the top-level combination of the four-four-two they usually play.

Nigel Martin served as goalkeeper, Ferdinand and Mills partnered at centre back, and the full-backs on both sides were Mateo and Hart.

Dakot, Barty, in the center of the midfield, Bowyer and Kewell slightly biased to the wing.

The forward position is of course the famous Alan Smith and Viduka.

Full main force.

This is their most familiar pairing this season!

It seems that even though David Olivier looked down on Blackpool very much in his words before the game, when he actually came on the field, he was still wholehearted.

And blackpool's lineup is, of course, the lineup they are most familiar with in the second half of the season.

Goalkeeper Cech.

The central defender is Vidic, as well as Ramos, who has been training for nearly half a season and has a certain strength.

The full-back is Sun Jihai on one side and Howell, a former Championship player, on the other.

In the midfield line, Kaka and Ronaldinho form a double front midfielder, and Philip has a single midfielder.

The Championship midfielder has also made some progress after coming to blackpool and is now able to execute James's TIKI-TAKA tactics perfectly.

In the forward line, Ronaldo served as the left winger, Ibrahimovic stood in the center position, and the right winger was Beach.

It is also the lineup they are most familiar with this season.

They also want to win this game!

Then advance to the quarter-finals and refresh the history again!

Not long after the players from both sides played, the referee, who had set the table, also blew the whistle to start the game.

beep!!

Leeds United took the lead in the first half, Alan Smith passed the ball to midfielder Kewell, and then ran towards the front court.

This Leeds United team played well. After all, the third strength of the Premier League cannot only be rampant.

Therefore, after receiving the ball, Kewell did not rush forward, but organized the pass in the midfield.

Prepare to mobilize blackpool's midfield and then play forward.

It has to be said that his wishful thinking was good. Blackpool's midfield and frontcourt players did quickly overwhelm the army and all rushed over.

But when Kewell turned around and was about to fight forward, he found that all the lines seemed to be blocked!

Blackpool's six frontcourt players tightly used two lines to stand in the midfield and frontcourt, not giving them any neutrality for Leeds United to advance!

This will want to push forward, as if there is only one way to pass the ball with big feet?

But... Alan Smith isn't a very headed striker.

Isn't it more likely to give the ball the ball in this way?

Thinking about it, Kewell was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted again, he was horrified to find that a player with flowing hair on the opponent's side had already come next to him?

Stab it!

The sound of a sliding shovel sounded, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was wearing the No. 7 jersey of blackpool, a big flying shovel stabbed the football away from Kewell's feet and took it towards the distance.

At the beginning of the game, blackpool made a steal in the frontcourt and launched a counterattack!

Dangerous!

The expressions of many Leeds United players changed, and they did not expect this, and quickly ran back to make up for the defense.

But young C Ronaldo, the speed is very fast!

At this time, in the counterattack, he stared with all his strength, not only making the people behind him unable to catch up, but also eating a full-back with speed!

boom!

After dribbling the ball into the penalty area, Ronaldo shot a low shot from a small angle!

boom!

The Leeds United goalkeeper reacted quickly, sticking out a foot and blocking the ball to the front of the small penalty area!

Leeds United central defender Ferdinand quickly rushed over and cleared the ball to the frontcourt!

"Kewell!"

After Ferdinand cleared the siege, he frowned and scolded, "What the hell are you doing?"

"I didn't get used to it, sorry."

Kewell was a little embarrassed and waved an apology.

And this ball was cleared by Ferdinand to the frontcourt. In the end, Alan Smith and Vidic both topped the ball. The ball bounced to the ground and was taken by Cech.

Cech threw the ball to the wing again and attacked!

"Don't rush, pay attention to tactics."

On the sidelines, seeing blackpool starting to control the ball, James reminded him.

Cristiano Ronaldo was in a hurry for the ball just now, but after all, a shot was formed, and it was grabbed by himself.

He really couldn't say anything, because he was afraid of the cold in the hearts of the players.

bang bang bang!

bang bang bang!

On the field, Blackpool's players controlled the football in an orderly manner with the advantage of the number of midfielders.

The four defenders are deployed in a staggered formation, the three midfielders are constantly running for neutrality, and there is a goalkeeper behind them.

Leeds United's only six-man midfield, how can they grab it?

Before grabbing for a while, the mentality of the Leeds United players was a little bored.

They are third in the Premier League and is being played by these people in the third tier team?

At the back, the two wingbacks of Leeds United couldn't even stand it anymore. They rushed up to assist their midfielders to grab the ball, and they had to pay attention to the blackpool winger behind them.

But the two of them leaned up, and the middle of the backcourt was empty...

The strong Ibrahimovic has been staring at the side...

boom!

bang bang!

And at this time.

The Blackpool's midfielder, who seemed to have found an opportunity, suddenly accelerated with a rhythm and passed the ball to the attacking midfielder Kaka!

Kaka once again used his speed to forcefully protrude towards the half of Leeds United!

The Leeds United players quickly retreated from the defense, but it seemed that it was too late at this time!

And, worse to come.

Cristiano Ronaldo on the left has also started to speed up at this time, rushing in front of the Leeds United fullback who is visiting at this time, and wants football!

boom!

Kaka did not hesitate, chose the best route on Ronaldo's side, and passed the ball to Ronaldo!

Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball in a big way, came directly to the position near the bottom line, and then looked towards the middle.

Ibrahimovic stood in the middle of the defense of the opponent's two defenders...

and Kaka, at this time, has run to the front of the penalty area to respond!

Inverted triangle!

Ronaldo quickly hit the ball with his left foot on the back of his foot and knocked the ball towards the inverted triangle!

At this time, there was a large space beside Kaka, and the other players of Leeds United had not come back to defend!

In such a situation, Kaka even stopped the ball first, and then took a shot with his right foot and hit the upper right corner of the goal!

Eh!

Such a close shot in the penalty area, the Leeds United goalkeeper is a fairy and it is difficult to save it, so he has to watch the football hit the net!

One to zero!

Is blackpool ahead?

"have a look..."

The Leeds United fans, who were surrounded by a sea of ​​white, immediately hugged their heads in disbelief.

They Leeds United, won't they be upset too?
