787 The Evertonians Are Starting to Pull Their Strings
Pa!
With a crisp sound, the football hit Tim Howard’s fingertips!
Tim Howard’s face instantly revealed an expression of ecstasy. He never thought that he would be able to pounce on the football!
Surprise!
He was so surprised that he exploded!
Tim Howard’s back landed heavily on the turf with a bang, but he didn’t feel any pain at all. He directly jumped up from the turf, waved his fist excitedly, and roared loudly, “Ah!”
I pounced, I saved Everton!
Tim Howard was overjoyed!
But very quickly, he discovered that something was wrong!
Why did his teammates cover their faces helplessly and why didn’t the Everton fans cheer? Why did Ivanovic turn around and charge out like a cheetah?
Why?
What was all this for?
Tim Howard’s heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition instantly struck him!
Tim Howard couldn’t help but turn around and look at the goal behind him. Tim Howard’s eyes darkened. The football jumping in the net was like a heavy punch to his face, almost knocking him unconscious!
Goal?
The ball’s in!
Tim Howard was helpless!
He had already pounced on the football, why did he still score this goal? My God, what the hell are you doing?
Tim Howard was filled with displeasure and anger!
With a bang, Tim Howard smashed his fist into the pillar, venting the anger in his heart!
“Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!” Eddie Gray roared excitedly. Leeds United did really well today. Ivanovic scored a very beautiful goal. It was a good example of a team goal.
Yes, the ball was only touched by Ivanovic and corner-serving Joan Gourcuff, but it was a classic retreat!
The reason for that was because when Ivanovic scored, the Leeds United attackers had already taken away their opponents’ defenses, leaving Ivanovic unmarked at the back and easily heading the goal!
During this process, many of the Leeds United players did not touch the ball, but their role was very critical, very important. Their movements and seduction were the finishing touches of this attack!
The Leeds United fans screamed excitedly and gave applause to all the Leeds United players present.
On Everton’s coaching bench, David Moyes witnessed the goal. He gave Zhong Cheng a thumbs up in his heart. This fellow’s tactical arrangements for the corner kick were very good. This fellow was simply a genius!
David Moyes also realized that this game was very difficult, very difficult!
However, David Moyes was neither empty nor afraid!
David Moyes has been in the business for so many years, what kind of opponent has he not seen? He had encountered someone even more powerful than this many times, so he naturally wouldn’t be afraid.
Of course, David Moyes thought that Zhong Cheng was very powerful!
In the face of Leeds United, Everton couldn’t afford to relax at all.
David Moyes immediately came to the side and signaled for Everton’s players to be alert. They were all cheering up. The Leeds United team opposite them was a strong team, a super team.
The game started again, and Leeds United obviously chose to hide!
Leeds United is one such team, defending against counterattacks!
Looking at the reaction of the Leeds United players, David Moyes smiled bitterly. Madman Loria was really too cowardly. However, David Moyes knew that if he was loyal now, he would have made the same choice!
There was nothing he could do, everything was for the sake of victory!
David Moyes has been on the sidelines, directing Everton players to attack and reminding Everton defenders not to give Leeds United a chance to retaliate!
The counterattack was the sharpest weapon of the Leeds Alliance, and no one dared to look down on it!
So at this moment, Everton players are playing very hard, both offensive and defensive, energy consumption is very big.
On the side, Everton’s attack was still on the side.
It was Tim Cahill who received the ball. This fellow was playing full-back today. In fact, this fellow was a versatile player in the front court. He could be raised from any position. More importantly, his heading ability was very strong. He wasn’t tall, but his jump was extremely shocking. Moreover, his body was very strong. He could jump and resist people. He was definitely an expert in fighting for points in the forbidden area!
However, David Moyes didn’t use Tim Cahill’s header right now. He used Tim Cahill’s speed and impact to charge into the Leeds United wing and deliver artillery shells to the center!
Everton have Andy Johnson and Jacob in the box and they have enough forward power. So Tim Cahill had to sacrifice himself to the side.
However, David Moyes will let Tim Cahill head in the middle when the score is down by a large margin, or when he is about to take a risk.
It was clear that the moment of despair had yet to arrive, nor was it time for him to give it a shot.
Tim Cahill caught the ball and saw Leeds United full-back Patrick Aver rush up. Tim Cahill stepped on the ball with his right foot and Patrick Aver stopped. But just as Patrick Aver was about to stop, Tim Cahill instantly accelerated, wanting to break through.
Of course, Tim Cahill didn’t underestimate Patrick Aver.
Sure enough, Patrick Aver’s reaction was quick, and she unexpectedly changed directions again, laterally standing in front of Tim Cahill.
Tim Cahill heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he kept his hand.
As Patrick Aver moved sideways again, Tim Cahill suddenly accelerated sideways again, instantly passing Patrick Aver.
Patrick Aver’s mind followed, but the inertia of his body did not, and he was instantly freed by Tim Cahill.
Everton fans from afar immediately cheered excitedly, shouting Tim Cahill’s name and cheering for Tim Cahill.
Tim Cahill didn’t forget himself after passing Patrick Aver. Facing Sedu Keita, he didn’t continue to cut inside. Instead, he quickly changed directions and rushed straight to the bottom line.
Tim Cahill dodged Sedu Keita’s blockade and rushed forward to catch up with the football, sending it to Leeds United’s penalty area with a single kick!
The ball flew quickly behind Leeds United midfielders Ryan Pique and Sven-Goran Ivanovic.
“Ah! Danger! Tim Cahill has passed on a very dangerous position. Leeds United is in danger!” Eddie Gray immediately cried out in horror.
Before Eddie Gray could finish his sentence, Mark Lawrenson roared, “Yacoub header!”
With a bang, Yakubu, who was following in the middle, rushed up quickly, jumped high and smashed his head fiercely at the football. The football immediately changed directions and quickly flew towards the upper left corner of the goal.
This ball was really very fast, just like lightning!
The Everton fans on the scene were very happy. They all stood up and were ready to applaud to welcome the goal.
However, at this moment, a figure flashed past the goal and threw the football out with a single palm!
“Aldrich! The great Aldrich, he actually managed to pounce on Jacob’s close range shot. It’s really amazing, the magical Aldrich!” Eddie Gray encouraged Zhong Zheng again.
Leeds United fans thunderously applauded and thanked Zhong Zheng for his excellent performance.
Tim Howard was even more upset when he saw this. Why the hell did I have to go in when I touched a football and this guy threw himself out when he touched a football?
Tim Howard was very upset!
The Leeds United players rushed to Zhong Zheng’s side crazily and beat him. If it wasn’t for him, the Leeds United team would have lost the ball.
Zhong Zheng stood up and immediately waved his hand to the players of Leeds United to defend well. He definitely wouldn’t give the Evertonians another chance to shoot so easily!
The Leeds United defenders patted their chests and promised that they would never give the Evertonians another chance.
A corner kick. Everton got a corner kick.
Zhong Cheng stood quietly on the sidelines, not feeling anxious. He had encountered many situations like this.
Sure enough, Everton’s corner kicked out and was immediately hugged by the rushing Zhong Zheng. Zhong Zheng threw the ball and launched a quick counterattack, but Joaquin didn’t stop the ball on the edge of the field. The football rolled directly at the feet of the Evertonians, and the Leeds United missed a very good opportunity to counterattack.
Everton fans cheered excitedly. Looks like the Leeds United were no gods. There were still some mistakes. They saw the hope of winning this match.
Everton fans shouted loudly to cheer their players on.
The ball flew into Leeds United’s penalty area with a long pass from the back.
Unfortunately, the football was directly pushed out by Pique. Pique was really very stable. He was the first brother in air defense and his strength was very strong. He had never been afraid of anyone before.
Moreover, in the usual training of the game, Pique encountered Luca Tony. With such a high-center training, Pique’s defense was very formidable. Other normal centers really couldn’t easily kill Pique.
The football flew to Sedu Keita’s feet. Sedu Keita pretended to pass the ball. Suddenly, he accelerated in a different direction and passed the opponent’s defender. Then, he drove the ball straight into Everton’s half-court. He drove the ball 30 meters away at high speed and then shot directly from 28 meters away from the goal.
With a bang, the football flew towards Everton’s goal.
The ball was full of strength. Although the angle was a little right, Tim Howard didn’t dare to underestimate it at all, because the strength was really too great.
Tim Howard didn’t even dare to hug him. Instead, he punched the ball outwards, almost giving Luca Tony a chance to shoot again. The ball was scooped out by Everton centre-back Jobo.
Everton fans finally relaxed. It was just too dangerous!
Everton attacked again. It was clear that Evertonians wanted to level the score before the end of the first half. They attacked ferociously and surrounded Leeds United.
However, at the end of the first half, Everton did not manage to break through Leeds United’s goal. Leeds United’s defense was indeed very stable. Evertonians really did not have many chances.
