The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 936
936 A Seamless Connection Between Strikers
The Portsmouth rushed forward, attacking crazily,
Kranica, who was on the side, opened up a gap and passed the ball into Leeds United’s restricted area. Crouch raised his head high in the penalty area.
Unfortunately, the football flew over his head and drew the other side of the line.
The Portsmouth team’s attack was futile!
‘”Aiya, this is not the first time. Blind passes like Portsmouth are useless! Although Crouch is very tall, his header is not his strong point. Forcing a pass like this is not ideal!” Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
“Yes, the Portsmouth are a little anxious. Of course, this was mainly because of Redknapp. To be honest, if Portsmouth wanted to play this kind of cross, he shouldn’t have brought in Crouch. Crouch was the kind of person who had more skill than a header, so such a high point could serve as a fulcrum. Crouch still needs his long legs to score goals! “Eddie Gray said.
Redknapp could tell, but there was nothing he could do!
The player was not brought in according to his wishes at all. This was the intention of the Portsmouth executives or the transfer department. This was also the reason why Redknapp wanted to leave Portsmouth.
How can these people from Portsmouth get good grades?
Crouch may be a strong striker, but he is definitely not the kind of center who heads a header, which is different from Redknapp’s tactical expectations.
So Crouch played a little awkward today, because there weren’t many soccer balls under his feet. The soccer balls all greeted his head. Crouch himself was very tired, and the results weren’t good.
Crouch wondered if it was a mistake to come to Portsmouth?
The Portsmouth attacked crazily and pressed down crazily. Although they seemed to be in control of the situation, it was actually extremely dangerous!
The Portsmouth man frantically pressed down and the backcourt was very empty.
Gareth Bale and Marco Reus were waiting for their best chance to give the Portsmouth a fatal blow.
Sure enough, this was the opportunity!
Midfielder Sedu Keita suddenly steals the ball and quickly sweeps the football away. Luca Modric didn’t stop the ball and swung his leg to the side. The football quickly rolled out and flew to the empty space on the side.
Gareth Bale immediately chased after the football, and the faces of the Portsmouth fans changed greatly, all of them in horror.
Gareth Bale easily caught the ball, but luckily for Kabul, a sliding shovel pushed the ball out of the sidelines, otherwise the ball would have been finished.
Leeds United fans are disappointed that this opportunity has been wasted.
The Portsmouth fans heaved a sigh of relief. It was dangerous. If Gareth Bale passed it, it would be over!
Portsmouth attacked like crazy. Both full-backs had passed half the match, leaving a lot of room behind. If the Leeds United midfielder suddenly intercepted the ball, the two full-backs would not be able to return, so the chances for Gareth Bale and Marco Reus came.
However, Portsmouth’s two centre-backs are clearly trying to strengthen their defence of the two wings. They have seen the strength of Gareth Bale and Marco Reus and will not give them the same chance.
Portsmouth are attacking, and this time the ball rolls to the side, where Lauren starts to cross.
This time, Lauren passed a low pass and the football quickly rolled into the restricted area of Leeds United. Crouch thrust forward, grabbed the front point, and fell to the ground to shoot.
The ball was fast and threatening.
The Leeds United fans cried out in alarm. Fortunately, Zhong Zheng concentrated and directly threw himself sideways to press the football beneath him.
The fans at the scene were really too excited, and immediately gave the applause to Zhong Zheng.
Portsmouth saw their attack pick up again and attacked even more frantically. But also significantly enhanced the ground pass, creating more opportunities for Crouch and increasing the threat. The Portsmouth men are getting more and more confident as they play as if they are going to score a goal right away,
At this moment, the Leeds United midfielder suddenly stopped the ball.
Luca Modric cut off the football beneath Las Diarra’s feet. Luca Modric and Las Diarra were still very familiar with each other, so they managed to break the ball in one go.
The Portsmouth fans immediately exclaimed, “It’s dangerous!”
This time, Leeds United were going to launch a quick counterattack. It was really too dangerous, because Portsmouth’s defence was very empty, and there were only two centre backs left.
At this time, Gareth Bale and Marco Reus on both sides started accelerating at the same time, rushing towards Portsmouth.
This frightened the Portsmouth to death!
Kabul and Hedazzon thought that Luca Modric still wanted to pass the ball to the two wings and let Gareth Bale and Marco Reus use their speed to sprint, so they both rushed to the two wings at the same time to block Gareth Bale and Marco Reus. At the same time, they thought that their partner would stay and guard the middle of the road, so the two of them rushed to both sides.
The Portsmouth Central Road cave door opened.
At the most frightening moment, after Luka Modric turned around with the ball, he immediately kicked the ball straight and quickly stuffed the ball in front of the middle of the road!
Reverse thinking!
Yes, after Luka Modric habitually shoved the ball into the side, he suddenly had a reverse thought and directly shoved the football into the middle, instantly producing an unexpected effect!
The football rolled into the middle of the road.
It was too late for James to roar because Diego Milito had already received the football and took the opportunity to move it into the restricted area to kill it.
James wanted to cry, what kind of bullshit defense was this? The middle of the road was actually unguarded, and the hole was wide open. Wasn’t this letting the opponent score a goal?
Redknapp was so angry on the sidelines, what kind of defense was this?
Kabul and Hedazon also knew that they had made a mistake. They had made a huge mistake, and it was too late for them to make up for it.
Diego Milito had already entered the restricted area. Facing James in front of the goal, Diego Milito fired a heavy cannon at the goal. The football flew out like a white light, flashing past James’ eyes, and then the football flew into the goal.
Three to zero!
“Wow! Nice goal. It came from Luka Modric’s clever pass. It was really a wonderful pass. It was amazing. It was perfect!” Eddie Gray roared excitedly and kept praising Luka Modric.
The Leeds United fans were very excited and excited, 3-0!
“Diego Milito handled the ball well. It looked like a strong shooter. Very good!” Mark Lawrenson immediately praised.
Before the first half was over, Leeds United had a 3-0 lead, which was basically the end of the game. It’s hard for the Portsmouth to get three goals back, after all, the Istanbul miracle doesn’t happen every day.
Redknapp didn’t want to talk anymore. This competition was really too bad.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng had already returned to the coaching bench and sat down steadily. There was nothing to worry about in this match.
With less than 10 minutes left until the end of the first half, Leeds United should be able to take a 3-0 lead into the second half,
The Leeds United fans at the scene were very excited and excited, all of them singing loudly.
The Portsmouth were now like frosted eggplant, wilting!
Yes, the Portsmouth were beaten out, they were stunned.
As the game continued, the Leeds United saw that Portsmouth was feeling a little overwhelmed and immediately stepped up their push like a pack of hungry wolves.
Very quickly, the Leeds United players steal the football beneath the Portsmouth players’ feet.
There was a mistake in Kranica’s pass, and the ball was directly cut off by Marco Royce on the side. After the cut, Marco Royce tilted the ball back, and the ball quickly rolled to Modric’s feet. Marco Royce himself immediately turned around and accelerated forward.
The Portsmouth defenders assumed that Luka Modric had picked up the ball for forward Marco Royce and that their defensive centre of gravity was shifting to the side.
However, Luka Modric suddenly took the football to the other side.
The soccer ball flew quickly towards Gareth Bale, who was empty. After receiving the ball, he quickly moved forward and arrived near the edge of the restricted area.
The Portsmouth fans were in despair.
Gareth Bale shook his head and, unexpectedly, did not choose to break through. Instead, he suddenly crossed the ball into Portsmouth’s restricted area.
Diego Milito, who was in the middle, suddenly stabbed in and headed in ahead of Kabul. With a boom, the football flew into Portsmouth’s goal.
The ball was too fast for James to have a chance.
“It’s a goal! Leeds United scored again before the end of the first half. It was their new player, Diego Milito! My God, Diego Milito is really amazing. I believe he can connect Luca Toni seamlessly. Madman Roja’s eyes are really scary!” Mark Lawrenson exclaimed.
Leeds United fans were also shouting Diego Milito’s name. They saw Diego Milito’s performance and were no longer worried about Leeds United’s attack.
The first half ended with Leeds United 4-0!
The game was almost over and Portsmouth had no chance.
After the second half of the match began, Zhong Cheng had taken in a lot of young players to let them experience the match. Portsmouth also gave up on the game, they have no chance, they are thinking about next weekend’s Premier League.
Therefore, the second half of the game was not very good.
However, Leeds United still scored in the second half, scoring Edison Cavani and Leeds United’s 5-0 victory over Portsmouth in the end, shocking the crowd.
