"Klose, Klose!!! The striker from Germany opened Leeds United's goal with a header again..."
"It's so unexpected. Before the game, everyone generally looked down on Sparta Prague. Everyone thought that Leeds United could easily enter the Champions League. But the game only lasted thirty minutes, and they were already leading Leeds United 2-0.
It’s really…”
Mortensen himself felt quite surprised. As a commentator with more than 20 years of experience, Mortensen has seen a lot of upsets. He has personally explained many dragon-slaying legends, so he has seen a lot of these upsets.
. But today’s upset surprised him the most. Because Leeds United, third in the Premier League, was defeated by a Czech club.
The second goal conceded by Sparta Prague was very simple and not impossible to defend. However, the Leeds United defender made a huge mistake. When Grigra passed the ball, Woodgate and Radebe were already there.
They stood in a good position. But maybe there was a huge change in mentality, so when the ball came over, Klose jumped up, but the two of them hesitated. Klose easily scored with a header.
For Leeds United, who play in the Premier League, this kind of ball is a very simple problem for young talented defenders like Woodgate. However, they failed to prevent it and instead allowed Klose to score the goal.
.The score became two to zero.
"They obviously have not adjusted their mentality. They always thought that this game could be easily defeated, but unfortunately the game did not go as they expected. The young players have great psychological fluctuations, which was fully reflected in this game. Look at their
The movements are completely different from usual."
Alan Hansen was Liverpool's iron defender back then and was Liverpool's main central defender during their most glorious period. It can be said that at his peak, he was the best central defender in England and even Europe. Therefore, he is quite clear about the player's mentality.
.
Alan Hansen sees it very clearly, and he also has a clear grasp of the status of the Leeds United players. Of course, it is not just Alan Hansen who can see the problem now, anyone with some professional ability can see it. Austria
Of course, Riley, as the head coach, also noticed it, so he walked around the sidelines very nervously. O'Reilly is very strong. He was also a famous player at Arsenal during his playing days and was the number one figure in English football. He is very capable.
He is strong and has good mental quality. Unfortunately, the Leeds United players he leads are too young. If the Leeds United players had O'Reilly's mental quality, the current problem would not arise.
Before the game, everyone from O'Reilly to the following players was full of confidence. Sparta Prague, they didn't know what team it was. Many Leeds United players didn't care about Sparta Prague at all and thought this game was just a formality.
.should be able to defeat them easily. Unfortunately, the game was completely different, which made the Leeds United players obviously crazy. This is actually a mistake by O'Reilly. As a head coach, he looks down on his opponents, so how can the players look down on their opponents?
O'Reilly didn't know how to adjust the players' condition at this time. This was O'Reilly's second season as head coach, and he was still a rookie coach. So he was as unprepared as the players when faced with this situation.
Zeman on the other side is different, he is a crazy person. Now he is leading 2-0, but he is not satisfied. The current result is also a very unexpected result for him, so he is very excited. Champions League qualifying match
The fourth round is a two-legged match at home and away. Zeman's idea is very simple. Beat Leeds United directly on the road.
Therefore, Zeman ignored it and still told the team to press on, press on.
This crazy style of play makes it difficult for Leeds United players to adapt. They are also very angry, because in their eyes, Sparta Prague, a small team from the Czech countryside, looks down on themselves like this. But the more they get
When they are so angry, their movements become more and more awkward. Sometimes the self-confidence of geniuses is just stubbornness, which actually affects their performance.
"David Batty, passed the ball to Bowyer... Bowyer dribbled the ball past Senna, oh, he dribbled too much!"
Bowyer is a genius in English football. Although his subsequent achievements are not high and far less than the original expectations. But currently, his reputation is far greater than that of Lampard and Gerrard. As for Parker and Barry
There is no comparison between these players and Bowyer. Bowyer is the real midfield genius at this time.
Therefore, he was not convinced. There were no good opportunities after the game started, so after getting the ball this time, he dribbled the ball through. He wanted to tell the country players like Sparta Prague that he was a genius in English football.
Bowyer is very strong, but breaking through with the ball is definitely not his strong suit. Although passing one or two people is not a problem, it is not like South American players, or comparable to Rosicky. But he was not in a good mood, so he insisted on performing.
Unexpectedly, after passing Senna, he wanted to continue the attack, but Rosicky directly tackled the ball from the side.
If you look at Bowyer's own ability, as long as he performs normally, he is indeed a very good midfielder. Unfortunately, he has a very problematic personality. He is easily angered and gets hot-headed. This is the case this time. It's so unreasonable.
Breaking through in the middle, Rosicky intercepted the ball.
"Rosicki, he scooped the ball down... Senna, Senna got the ball. Senna, through ball!"
Senna is a defensive midfielder. He can attack and defend from the defensive midfielder position, and has a way of controlling the rhythm of the game. But he is not only able to play as a defensive midfielder, he is also good at passing threatening balls from the attacking midfielder position. Maybe
Not as good as those attacking midfielders, but not bad at all. This was the case this time, because the ball was suddenly intercepted in the middle, so it was just when Leeds United was about to counterattack.
Senna's through ball broke through Leeds United's back line and passed between Woodgate and Radebe. It was a very simple interception of the ball in midfield, and then he counterattacked on the spot. But it resulted in a single shot.
"Baros, Baros succeeded in countering offside. He was very fast, and Martin came out... Baros, walked over."
Baros's shooting ability is actually average, or he is not very calm during the game. But in this game, Sparta Prague went crazy. Baros did not shoot hastily after countering offside. Instead, he faced the attacking Martin.
Use speed to pass the ball.
Baros is an interesting player. Let's say he is not good at shooting. Sometimes he can score difficult goals. Let's say he has average skills. He is very good at breakthroughs in small spaces. In addition, he has strong explosive power.
, is very fast, so he is still very intimidating in the frontcourt. If there is a shortcoming, it is that he is too independent. During the game, he likes to break through with the ball and shoot by himself, and does not like to cooperate with others.
But this time the ball was received differently. All he had to do was run. After receiving a call from Senna, he picked up speed and passed the Leeds United backline, and then passed Martin again.
"Baros, this is an empty goal. Zero to three, zero to three. What kind of game is Leeds United playing? It became zero to three so easily. It seems like they are all sleepwalking."
Mortensen sighed. It was 0-3. Although there is still the next round of the game, Mortensen is not optimistic that Leeds United can come back. It seems that it is almost impossible for Leeds United to enter the Champions League. Here we are.
At this time, Mortensen began to look at Sparta Prague again.
Baros has had three one-on-one opportunities with the goalkeeper in this game, including this opportunity. However, he wasted the first two. Fortunately, he seized this opportunity. Therefore, he was particularly excited.
.
"Baros, Milan. Baros. This is a player who is not yet eighteen years old, but he can score a goal in such an important game. This goal is likely to determine the outcome of this Champions League match.
Quota. Since the emergence of Nedved, Boboski, and Borg, Czech football has once again seen a gathering of talents. Sparta Prague’s Jankulovski, Grigla, and Ujfaru
West, Rosicky and Baros are all very young players, and they will definitely be the backbone of Czech football in the future."
Although Mortensen was unhappy with Leeds United being destroyed in this way, Mortensen was still very objective in his evaluation of his opponents. What he saw was that Czech football has not stopped playing, and there is no shortage of top players since the golden generation of 1996.
"good."
Thomas Cherney just smiled and clapped, but Lister glanced at Ridsdale not far away and shouted "Okay". Ridsdale, who was already very angry, turned pale. In fact, Lister did it on purpose.
What he heard was that Lister was very angry before the game, so he was also angry with Ridsdale.
Before the game, he ignored the chairman of Sparta Prague at all, because in Ridsdale's mind Sparta Prague was a country team. He thought the game would be easy and there would be no contact between them in the future.
That's why he deliberately neglected it. But the game made him very angry. He invested so much money just to restore Leeds United's glory. He never thought that the game was completely different from what he thought.
If Leeds United cannot enter the Champions League this season, the loss will be huge. It is certain that there will be several million US dollars after a group stage, and even more than tens of millions is not impossible. The already very angry Rizda
When I heard Liste shouting hello, my eyes could burst into flames.
"Rister."
Thomas Cherney was very dissatisfied with Ridsdale, but he still had to maintain his demeanor. Therefore, he pulled Larister and asked him not to be so explicit.
"It's okay, dad."
Lister smiled. What kind of grace is needed in front of a bastard like Ridsdale?
The first half of the game was slowly coming to an end. Although there was no whistle yet, Ridsdale had already stood up and walked out angrily. If possible, he really wanted to go into the locker room and scold himself.
players.
Seeing Ridsdale walk out angrily, Lister whispered to Thomas Cherney, and then followed him out. Then he quickly came to Ridsdale's side and said with a smile**
: "Chairman Ridsdale, let me buy you a cup of coffee." (To be continued.)
