This was already a sea of people. Countless fans gathered here. They raised their banners in support of Leeds United and cheered for them.

This is the starting lineup for Leeds United today. This is the main lineup for Leeds United. However, at the back, they had two players. It was clear that they were prepared to defend this match, strengthen their defenses, and wait for a counterattack.
Carlo Ancelotti knew what Zhong Cheng was thinking when he saw Leeds United’s formation.
However, Carlo Ancelotti is not prepared to slow down the attack, this game their Chelsea team must win!
Carlo Ancelotti glanced at Zhong Cheng and then stopped looking at him.
At this moment, the referee of this match blew the official whistle of the start of the match.
The Chelsea team kicked off the ball first. They launched a ferocious attack and pressed down on the entire line. It was as if from the moment the game started, it was a full-scale war, a country-toppling war. Yes, the Chelsea man was so crazy and ferocious that he rushed forward.
Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned. How could this be?
Isn’t Carlo Ancelotti a relatively conservative manager? Isn’t he also a head coach who starts with defense? How could he be so bold in this match?
Zhong Cheng was a little surprised that Ancelotti had changed so much.
However, Zhong Cheng was not nervous at all. He sat quietly in his seat and calmly looked at the field. He was very confident in his team’s defense.
On the side, football rolled to the side.
Chelsea’s Malouda received the football. This fellow’s speed was very fast. After receiving the ball, he directly wanted to cut inside. Unfortunately, Leeds United’s defense was very tight and there was no chance of him cutting inside.
After a few attempts and no chance, he directly crossed the ball diagonally and sent it back to the middle.
The ball rolled under Essien’s feet in the middle. Essien had just caught the ball when the Leeds United players pounced on him. His speed was very fast, like lightning.
Essien panicked.
But it’s okay. Essien pulled the football back and quickly passed it to the defenders, which did not lead to the team.
The Chelsea man is aware of Leeds United’s high defensive strength.
The Chelsea men know they have to pour the football down and pass faster, not giving the Leeds United a chance to play together.
Leeds United are very defensive and the Chelsea man is very careful.
Carlo Ancelotti was very calm when he saw this. He didn’t feel anything and just stood there quietly.
Right at this moment, Chelsea full-back Ashley Cole sent the ball forward with a long kick, heading straight for Drogba.
Didier Drogba was still very strong and his body was very strong.
Didier Drogba wanted to lean against Compani and unload the football. However, Compani’s reaction was even faster as he headed the ball out and flew back to Chelsea’s half-court.
“Look, Leeds United’s defence is really strong. If this continues, Chelsea will be in danger. The Chelsea man has to score a goal as soon as possible in order to improve the situation. As long as Leeds United attack, their chances will be better!” Said Mark Lawrenson.
Eddie Gray didn’t say anything. His eyes were fixed on the field.
With a bang, Lampard shot out from 35 points away from the goal. The football flew at top speed towards Leeds United’s goal.
The speed of the ball was really too fast, and everyone at the scene exclaimed in surprise.
Lampard really had the smell of a tiger knocking on a mountain. The quality of the ball was really high.
Unfortunately, the football was still slightly out of bounds.
The Chelsea fans all shook their heads in pity. What a good opportunity! What a pity!
Yes, this was Chelsea’s most reliable shot since the start. Unfortunately, they missed the target and missed the goal.
Leeds United immediately kicked out the goal and Levandowski jumped high in the front court, heading the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo. After Cristiano Ronaldo caught the ball, the Chelsea man became nervous.
Cristiano Ronaldo smashed the ball past Leeds United winger Ashley Cole. Cristiano Ronaldo then cut in quickly and suddenly shot from the rib.
The shot came so suddenly that the Chelsea man was scared.
However, Petr Cech, who was in front of the goal, was quick to react as he leaned sideways and hugged the football in his arms. The Chelsea fans heaved a sigh of relief and gave Peter Cech a thunderous round of applause.
This save was really too timely. Otherwise, it would have been a goal.
Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo’s shot hit the target, and if Peter Cech hadn’t reacted in time, the ball would have flown into Chelsea’s goal.
Leeds United fans felt it was a pity that they were so close to scoring.
Chelsea continued to attack, apparently ignoring the Leeds United attack. They’re here to take three points. They have to take the initiative.
With a bang, the football immediately moved to the side, this time at Kalu’s feet.
Before Kalu could turn around after getting the football, he felt that someone was sticking behind him. Moreover, a tremendous amount of power came from behind Kalu, and he almost fell to the ground.
Kalu immediately leaned back and leaned against Patrick Aver behind him.
At this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo rushed back. Kalu instantly became a little anxious, what should he do?
“Here, pass the ball over!” A voice sounded.
Kalou immediately stuffed the ball into the middle and it rolled under the feet of Frank Lampard in the middle.
After sending the football out, Kalou immediately turned around and quickly moved along the side, rushing towards the bottom line of the restricted area of Leeds United.
After Lampard caught the ball, he quickly pulled the ball backwards and then kicked the ball forward. The ball quickly rolled under Malouda’s feet, who was inserted in front of him.
Yes, Lampard is passing the football to the other side.
Leeds United’s formation quickly shifted to the other side, exerting pressure on Malouda, who was holding the ball on the wing.
After Malouda caught the ball, he quickly crossed and the football was directly stuffed into Leeds United’s penalty area, where Drogba was inserted forward.
Didier Drogba received the football in the penalty area, but he was stuck dead by Kompani and Leeds United’s defenders. There was no chance of him turning around.
Didier Drogba struggled to get a chance, and then his eyes suddenly lit up. He kicked the football in the direction of the midfield and prepared to pass it directly to Malouda.
Unfortunately, the football was directly intercepted by Sammy Hedilla.
Sammy Hedilla immediately sent the ball straight to Mesut Özil’s feet!
“Counterattack! Leeds United’s counterattack is coming!” Eddie Gray immediately roared loudly, his voice extremely loud.
The Leeds United fans were also excited as they stood up one after another, their eyes filled with pleasant surprise.
Mesut Özil immediately saw Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo in front of the wing. Mesut Özil is wondering to whom he is going to pass the football?
At this moment, Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien rushed over with a slippery shovel.
Mesut Özil dodged the shovel with ease, then thrust the ball straight into the air with a swift kick, shoving the ball diagonally towards Cristiano Ronaldo in the front court.
Chance, Leeds United’s chance.
Cristiano Ronaldo was in front of the ball and Chelsea wingback Ashley Cole was standing right in front of Zhong Cheng.
Ashley Cole is here, and Ramirez is closing in.
Cristiano Ronaldo was not anxious at all. His feet shook quickly and he made a dazzling fake gesture, making Ashley Cole a little dizzy.
At this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly crossed the ball to Levandovsky’s feet.
Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo chose to pass the ball rather than pass it himself.
Ashley Cole’s face darkened and he was fooled!
Cristiano Ronaldo had no intention of breaking through and chose to pass the ball. Levandovsky received the football and saw Gareth Bale slanted into the box.
Opportunity!
Levandovsky immediately kicked the ball and prepared to put it under Gareth Bale’s feet. However, the football was suddenly cut off by John Terry in the restricted area. John Terry swiftly slid over with an aura of adventure, directly and ferociously pushing the ball out of the sidelines, damaging Leeds United’s attack.
The chances of a counterattack this time were naturally very, very good. As long as Lewandowski passed the football over, the goal would definitely be scored. But in the end, the football was stopped by John Terry. It was a pity, a pity.
The Leeds United fans lamented and applauded the Leeds United players.
