Chapter 363
"Adriano!!! He helped Leeds United equalize the score!!!" Lineker shouted excitedly, "Starting with Modric, Leeds United used their exquisite cooperation to break through Chelsea's defense!!! Assists from De Bruyne!!! Adriano scored his eighth goal in the Premier League this season!!! The Brazilian striker is still responding to those who didn't think highly of him three months ago with his powerful performance!!!"
"Adriano! This ball goes in! Beautiful! Leeds United used a team cooperation to tear apart Chelsea's central defense! They equalized the score in the 52nd minute!" Although Jon didn't smile, Leeds United was This pleasing attack still made him sigh, "The biggest contributor to Leeds United's goal is Modric! His escape from Essien made Chelsea's midfield defense completely useless, and he did not rush to pass the ball after the breakthrough, but only passed the ball to Sneijder after gaining the upper hand in the psychological game with Mikel! He did not directly assist, but Modric also told us with his performance that although Li introduced Kaka this season, he is still the indispensable midfield core of Leeds United!"
Adriano's goal was like a red-hot stone suddenly thrown into a pot of boiled water, making the pot of water boil instantly!
When the football rolled into the net.
Elland Road was filled with overwhelming cheers, and the Leeds United fans who had been silent for a long time finally got a channel to vent.
The on-site announcer Eddie Gray also leaned close to the microphone in front of him and shouted loudly: "Leeds United equalized the score!!! The one who scored for us is——Adriano Wright————"
Then, the cheers stopped abruptly, and there was only one name left in the entire stadium!
"Ribeiro————!!!!!!"
After scoring the goal, Adriano ran to the corner flag area, and on the way he hugged De Bruyne who was waiting for him to celebrate. The other Leeds United players also ran over and ran to the bottom of the stands with the two of them, celebrating the goal with the fans in the stands!
Behind them were the disappointed Chelsea players.
Although Essien and Lampard had chased back to the top of their own penalty area, it was no use. At this time, they could only stare blankly at the laughing Leeds United players and shook their heads helplessly...
On the TV screen.
The director also cut the camera to the two coaches.
Mourinho's face was livid, and he kept talking to his assistant.
Li Shiguang had just finished his "Farmer's Three Punches" performance, and was hugging Rivaldo with a flushed face to celebrate the victory.
The two commentators in the studio naturally saw this scene.
"Ah!!" Jon sighed heavily, "I just said that Li's substitution idea is very bold! But being bold also has its advantages. Leeds United has an absolute numerical advantage in the midfield. If the three forwards do not withdraw to help defend, then Chelsea will have no power to fight back in the midfield!"
"But..." Lineker looked at his partner and said with a smile, "But if the forwards withdraw, then Chelsea's high-pressure defense will collapse? Isn't the final outcome also being severely whipped by Leeds United in their own half?"
Jon was stunned, blinking his eyes at Lineker, whose football IQ suddenly increased, and responded weakly: "What you said seems to make sense! Is this the real purpose of Li's substitution!? Not only did it activate Leeds United's attack in the middle, but it could even use the force to reduce the defensive pressure on its back line!?"
If Li Shiguang could hear what Jon said at this time, he would definitely give him a big thumbs up!
Just like the two commentators said.
This is indeed the real intention of his substitution of five midfielders!
There is always a saying on the football field.
The best defense is offense!
And this sentence is a golden saying for Li Shiguang!
In the past, when Leeds United was not strong enough, in order to win, he might let the players park the bus and play defensive counterattacks. But now Leeds United has become one of the great powers, and there is absolutely no reason to play defensive counterattacks.
This is also the biggest difference between Li Shiguang and Mourinho!
He will not face any opponent, and will give priority to stabilizing the defense and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack. There is a reason for the saying that wealth and honor are sought in danger!

Before the game resumed, Mourinho made adjustments. Malouda was replaced by him, and veteran Makelele came on the bench. Chelsea's lineup also changed from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see, Mourinho also knew the root cause of Chelsea's loss of the ball just now, so he made adjustments in time.
But from the perspective of most people, replacing a striker with a defensive midfielder is a performance of strengthening defense.
The key is that Leeds United has equalized the score. Even if they hold on in the end, Chelsea can only get a draw!
For them who are now ranked fourth, a draw is far from enough. After all, Liverpool behind them has quietly caught up, and now the points are only one point less than Chelsea!
So many people... Especially Chelsea fans who are watching the game at home, can no longer hold back their anger and start cursing on the Internet!

At the same time.
Hammersmith Fulham, London.
In Abrahimovic's office.
The Russian oligarch is lying comfortably in his boss chair, and his right-hand man, Marina Granovskaia, who will be called Sister NO in the future, is standing beside Abrahimovic in a formal and orderly manner.
In front of the two, there was a TV set showing the game.
Abramovich had frowned slightly when he saw his team being tied. Now, when he saw Mourinho replace Malouda with Makelele, the tycoon frowned even deeper.
Marina Granovskaia, who had followed Abramovich for nearly ten years, keenly noticed the change in her boss's facial expression.
Without waiting for Abramovich to speak, Marina took the initiative to speak: "Boss, Jose... is still the same..."
"How was the talk with Avran?" Abramovich did not answer, and spit out another name with his eyes closed.
"Peter strongly recommended him, but his coaching experience..." Marina did not finish her words. She knew that Abramovich had no patience with Mourinho. If she said Avran was fine at this time, Mourinho would probably be fired by Abramovich as soon as the game was over, regardless of winning or losing.
"Too short?" Abramovich smiled.
"Yes!" Marina replied softly, "You know, he has never coached a top league club. He was only the technical director at Portsmouth before, and he is only the head of the football department after coming here..."
"Okay!" Abramovich waved his hand, "You go and talk to him about the coaching contract, let him stay for one season. After this game, notify Mendes and tell him that I fired Jose."
"What if we win today?"
"Win or lose!"
After saying this, Abramovich stood up, stopped watching the game that had been restarted on TV, and walked out of the office...
