At this time, the referee of this match blew the whistle at the beginning of the match!
The fans on both sides immediately shouted excitedly, singing loudly, welcoming the arrival of this match.
The Leeds fans were very excited and excited, but the Leeds players were really calm. They were not excited at all and continued to play as usual. They stood in their positions and defended as if this was an ordinary game.
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly when he saw this.
Joe Royle stood on the sidelines with his hands crossed over his chest, his brows raised, and his eyes fixed on the field. This match was much harder than he had imagined. Leeds United were very calm!
But Joe Royle wasn’t worried!
On the pitch, Ipswich’s players continued to play according to their tactics, attacking from all sides!
Ipswich’s attack was so fierce that Tommy Miller pushed the ball forward quickly and Matthew Richards caught up with it.
Matthew Richards, who caught up with the football, glanced at the box and then kicked the ball into the Leeds United box.
In the restricted area, high center Shevchenko Kucci jumped high and threw his head at the ball, smashing into Leeds United’s goal.
With a slap, Zhong Zheng pushed the football out of the bottom line!
Corner, Ipswich got the corner!
Jim Magilton curled the ball into the Leeds United box and headed straight for Shevchenko Cookie, but the ball was ejected halfway by Pique and flew out of the box toward Davis.
Before Davis could get the ball, Ipswich’s Tony Tinin rushed forward, cut off the football and fired a long shot. The football fired an anti-aircraft gun!
It could be seen that Joe Royle had a special arrangement. It was really difficult for Leeds Lenovo to launch a counterattack. In this match, it would be difficult for Leeds Lenovo to win!
–Division Line–
With a bang, Zhong Zheng pushed the football forward with a big foot!
The soccer ball flew rapidly towards Huntelaar, who was leaning heavily against Derriza Diallo. Huntelaar jumped up and shook his head to throw the soccer ball at Modric, who was following him.
Modric didn’t stop the ball and took advantage of the situation to push the ball to the side. Lennon quickly rushed forward, surpassing Ipswich’s full-back Fabian Venice and catching up to the ball. Then, he swung his leg and passed the ball. The ball drew an arc and flew towards the center of the Ipswich’s restricted area.
Jason Deworth, who is in the middle, shouted, “This ball is mine!”
Jason Dworth jumped high above Huntelaar and smashed his head at the football.
Huntelaar’s heart tightened as he sighed, “Damn, this guy’s body is too hard!”
With a bang, the football was ejected from Ipswich’s restricted area by Jason Davos, threatening to come into contact with him. The Ipswich fans gave Jason Davos applause.
However, before their applause could stop, they immediately erupted with cries of alarm!
“Modric! Modric’s following. Beautiful forward. She’s past Kevin Hollock. Ipswich’s in danger!” BBC commentator Mark Lawrenson roared wildly.
The Leeds United fans immediately stood up excitedly, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Modric sprinted sideways from Kevin Hollock’s side. He raised his chest and stopped the football. Without waiting for the football to land, Modric swung his leg and kicked it hard!
“Long shot! Modric shot!” Mark Lawrenson roared madly.
With a bang, Modric’s shout hit the football fiercely. The huge impact force hit the football fiercely, and the football immediately shot towards the Ipswich team’s goal like a white light.
Ipswich’s players were shocked. Derriza Diallo immediately leaned over and used his body to block the flying soccer ball. But the football sped past him and into the top corner of the goal.
In front of the goal, Ipswich goalkeeper Kevin Davis immediately flew sideways, his hands stretched out straight.
Unfortunately, Kevin Davis jumped into the air and the football quickly flew past him and into Ipswich’s goal.
Modric’s long-range shot sank heavily, and the ball was as fast as lightning!
One to zero!
Modric scored the first goal for Leeds United again. Modric had performed so well recently. Countless Leeds United fans cheered for Modric with excitement.
On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng raised his hands excitedly and raised his head slightly, staring at the entire arena. At this moment, Zhong Cheng was like a king who stood proudly in the world. He was the king of this place!
“Long live Leeds United! Long live madman Roja! Leeds forward! Leeds levelled up!” Shouted the Leeds United fans.
Pa pa pa!
Thunderous applause rang out, and the Leeds players on the pitch rushed towards Modric crazily, surrounding him in the middle and screaming excitedly.
The Ipswich players lowered their heads and were speechless.
Joe Royle opened his mouth but didn’t make a sound!
