Chapter 66 Good luck against the sky
Chapter 66 Good Luck Against Heaven
Bechio's speed is not fast. After Zach Thompson gave two best friends, Jonny Hausen and Ben Parker, no more teammates added points for Bechio, but the 28-year-old Bechio is already an experienced veteran.
Faced with Crish's pursuit, he also adjusted his route of dribbling and blocked Crish with his body. The French left-back behind Becchio could not stop his rushing, so he quickly raised his hands. In his opinion, South American players are all a virtue. As long as you touch them a little, you will definitely fall to the ground and even make difficult moves of rolling all over the ground.
However, this time Krish miscalculated!
Feeling Krish behind him slowed down for a moment, Bechio kicked the ball towards his right front, and then rushed up with a sudden acceleration!
"Bang!"
Without any hesitation, Becchio just looked at the middle of the road while chasing the ball, and then directly made a cross!
At this time, Manchester City had four defensive players in the small penalty area, Kompany, Bochetti, Serner and De Jong were all back in defense, while Leeds United only had Tevez and Snold Grass running forward in the penalty area.
Normally, even if Tevez and Snold Grass are strong, it is impossible to encounter this ball. Needless to say, the header ability of the two central defenders Kompany and Bochetti, in fact, even De Jong and Serner are more capable than Tevez and Snold Grass.
But Becchio's pass was really "ghost". He had long realized that his teammates would not be able to receive an air ball, and even a ground pass would be blocked by the opponent's central defender. So Becchio's pass chose a half-high ball, and the ball flew to the Manchester City goal at a height of about one meter.
This height makes Manchester City defenders very uncomfortable. It is really difficult for them to handle this ball with their tall figure. They can't reach it with their heads, and it is impossible to be more flexible than their opponents with their feet. The "wild beast" is very agile.
Manchester City defenders also realized that they were not easy to deal with this ball. Defence leader Kompany immediately shouted: "Sign up!"
At the critical moment, the Manchester City captain's simple command made his teammates understand their intentions. Regardless of where the ball will be passed in the end, they just need to watch the two Leeds United strikers.
So Serner attached to Snodgras, while Bochetti attached to Tevez. In addition, Kompany became the last iron gate in front of Johart, and De Jong was alertly staring at Jonny Hausen and Zach Thompson outside the penalty area of Leeds United. In just a moment, Manchester City completed a tight defensive formation.
It can be said that Manchester City's defensive ability was fully reflected at this moment. Even if it was replaced by other giant teams, they could not do better than them. They freeze the two forwards of Leeds United through the combination of man-game and regional defense, and did not give Leeds United any chance at all.
Unfortunately, although Manchester City has considered all possibilities and has not left any shots for their opponents, they have forgotten one thing, that is, not only forward players can shoot on the football field, but they can also shoot as the defensive side.
In the end, I was the first to feel that Tevez and...Bochetti were on the pass route!
The Italian central defender used his tall figure to completely cover up the "beast". He made the Argentine striker no chance of touching the ball. This was a very thorough defense, but he still needed to use his eyes when doing all this, so Bochetti's vision could not see the pass.
"Bang!"
The ball hit the outside of Bochetti's right thigh!
then--
After the ball was refracted, it flew into the goal from Johart's right hand without any obstacle...
ah!?
What's going on!?
"Becchio made a cross, but there was no game in the middle...ah!"
For a moment, everyone in Wembley Stadium was stunned. This goal...had it entered!?
He actually entered!?
"oh!!!!!!!!"
Teves and Snodgras suddenly raised their arms excitedly, and then the two of them hugged each other first. After a moment of froze, Becchio also rushed forward with a grin. The three of them quickly hugged each other tightly, followed by Zach Thompson, Jonny Hausen and others, and Leeds United players joined the celebration queue one by one.
However, one side of Manchester City was completely confused. Joe Hart looked at Bochetti with a strange look. Manchester City captain Kompany looked at Bochetti with a helpless smile on his face. Everyone in Manchester City looked at the Italian central defender in a complicated mood.
As the goal scorer... Bochetti, the Italian central defender looked at the ball in the goal with a blank look on his face. His mood was really bad at this time... very bad!
"The ball went in! This goal was an own goal! Originally, neither Leeds United's forwards had the chance to shoot, but Bochetti hit the ball into his own goal, and it was actually... a blind spot? Alas! This kind of shooting method is really... really... alas!"
"2:1, Leeds United led the lead again, but this time the goal was not the Peacocks player, but Manchester City's central defender Bochetti. This Italian international scored an own goal in his first official game for the team. It seems that his luck is really bad!"
Under the stadium, Leeds United's seats were full of joy, and Manchester City was indeed silent.
Mancini looked at the stadium with complicated eyes. He could not see Bochetti's expression, but he could imagine how sad his fellow villager should be at this time. Originally, he introduced Bochetti to rely on him and Kompany to form Manchester City's most stable back line. Moreover, this plan seemed to have been successful in the pre-season warm-up match. Manchester City won all the wins in seven warm-up matches, and did not concede goals in six of the games. Only two goals were conceded in the warm-up match against Roma. Bochetti's performance after joining the team was quite good.
But... in the first official game of this season, Bochetti actually scored an own goal!
well!
Mancini sighed in his heart, but now it's just the beginning of the second half, and they still have time to tie the score and overtake, but everyone has to spend more effort.
Mancini's abacus was very good, but Simon Grayson was not a vegetarian either. After his players celebrated, Leeds coach quickly shouted to the court: "Defense! Continue to defend! Remember what I said in the midfield!"
Simon Grayson's shouts and gestures made the Leeds United players understand the head coach's intentions. After taking the lead again with luck, the initiative in the game is still not on the Leeds United side. After all, their strength is too different from that of their opponents. Now all they can do is defend and defend!
And for the current Leeds United, they really have the capital to defend. As long as the "Youth Guards" on the leading side can delay time until the end of the game, they will be the winner of this game. This is completely different from the one who defends in the draw.
The next game seemed to have become a highlight of Manchester City's shots. Aguero, Dzeko, David Silva, Nasri and others took turns to bomb Leeds' goal, and head coach Mancini also replaced De Jong with Balotelli to strengthen the offense at 61 minutes of the game.
After the adjustment of Manchester City's tactics, two powerful forwards Balotelli and Dzeko were at the front, while Aguero was pulled to the right, and Nasri's position moved to Yaya Toure to organize an attack. It can be said that this lineup is already the strongest lineup in the "Blue Moon", and they also got more shooting opportunities.
Unfortunately, Leeds United, which was strictly guarding, still did not give Manchester City a chance to score. Through their desperate running, they let white figures everywhere in the half, dragging every attack of Manchester City into the quagmire.
When the whistle at the end of the game was blew by Weber, the commentator began to make excuses for Manchester City's failure when he watched the Manchester City players leave with their heads down. "This game is the first game of the Premier League defending champion Manchester City this season and their first loss! It can be said that Manchester City's luck in this game was too bad. Bochetti's own goal ruined Manchester City's chance. However, Leeds United players did perform very tenaciously. According to statistics, although Leeds United did not have the advantage in the field, their fighting spirit was too strong. The thirteen balls on the court were on the court.
Among the players, except Bentley, Ameobi, Whitehead and Bechio, the running distance of others exceeded 10,000 meters, and those with more than 12,000 meters were Red, Ben Parker, Jonny Hausen and Shaq. Among them, Shaq's running distance reached 13,000 meters. Behind their tight defense, the players were running without any effort. It can be said that this victory of Leeds United is due to good luck and also the factor they have put in enough effort! In short, congratulations to Leeds United, you have become the champion of the Community Shield Cup in the 2012-2013 season!"
On the court, after shaking hands with Mancini, Simon Grayson was caught and thrown into the air by Leeds United players, and the Leeds United coach was also full of smiles.
Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea may not care about the community shield, but Leeds United has a good appetite. They are not picky and picky. Any trophy is an honor for the "Youth Guards"!
Moreover, Simon Grayson believes that this hard-won victory won against Manchester City will definitely increase their confidence in the team. No matter how far Leeds United can go this season, at least they should not need to consider relegation. Does the team that can even win the defending champion really need to focus on relegation?
Chapter completed!
