Chapter 191
Jon looked at Lineker with doubt in his eyes: "Oh? Why do you say that? Portsmouth is in good shape this season, and they are ranked high in the standings now."
Lineker laughed twice, and then analyzed seriously: "You know, I am a fan of Li. After I knew that Leeds United announced the joining of four new players, I went to find some information. I won't talk about Alves and Sneijder. I believe that fans are already familiar with them. Hummels was bought directly from Bayern's youth training. I didn't find too many of his game videos. I only know that he is the absolute main force of Bayern U19's defense line; but I can be sure that Reus is a bit of a talent. He played as a main player in the German Second Division at the age of 16, and his data on the field is also very gorgeous. To be honest, sometimes I really want to split Li's brain to see where he found these young talents!"
As Lineker said, Li Shiguang really pays more attention to the match with Chelsea next week, so he made a lot of rotations today.
Of course, whether his mission can be completed or not, Schmeichel was still arranged by Li Shiguang in the starting lineup.
And Lineker also saw it very accurately. After the game started, the players of Leeds United still showed good tactical qualities, especially several new players, who showed their fangs for the first time in the Premier League after more than 10 minutes of adaptation.
In the 19th minute of the game, Hummels suddenly rushed in front of the penalty area and successfully intercepted the ball at the feet of the Portsmouth player. Without any hesitation, he quickly passed the ball to Mascherano who was not far away. After receiving the ball, Mascherano turned and dribbled forward, but he knew that organizing the attack was not his strong point, so after a few steps, he sent the ball to Sneijder's feet.
Although Sneijder left the team for half a year, he still remembered the quick counterattack tactics emphasized by Li Shiguang. After receiving the ball, he looked up and observed the situation on the field for a while, and then he did not hesitate to hit the football hard with the outside of his foot. The ball flew to the side with a strong rotation. This pass showed Sneijder's superb footwork and excellent vision.
The ball was passed very cleverly. Sneijder chose a half-high ball, letting the ball fly over the head of the Portsmouth left-back who jumped up and tried to head the ball out of the sideline, and then fell rapidly. As soon as the ball landed, Camoranesi, who had already increased his speed to the extreme, easily got the ball and sprinted towards the Portsmouth penalty area.
However, the Portsmouth defenders did not sit still. After seeing his teammate heading the ball, the central defender Campbell immediately came up and tried to stop Camoranesi with the ball outside the penalty area.
But Camoranesi did not give him this opportunity. As soon as he brought the ball to the vicinity of the penalty area, he cleverly flicked the ball with his right foot, and then the ball went through the gap between the rushing Campbell and another central defender and went straight to the back point of the Portsmouth goal.
There, Torres had already outflanked!
Seeing Camoranesi's cross, goalkeeper Aston rushed to the back of his own goal, but what he didn't expect was that Torres, who received the pass, did not choose to shoot, but pushed the ball to the right side of the goal with his left foot.
Royce, who had already rushed to the front of the goal, never expected Torres to be so generous. He didn't shoot the ball so close, but turned around and passed it to his little brother who had only known him for a few days.
With this inexplicable touch, he subconsciously stretched out his foot and blocked it lightly, and the ball bounced into the empty goal by Royce!
"Beautiful! Leeds United's formulaic defensive counterattack!" Lineker clapped his hands as he watched Reus, who was surrounded by his teammates celebrating the goal, celebrated the goal. "Three of the four new players participated in this goal, from Hummels' interception to Sneijder's wonderful pass, and finally to Reus's shot. The whole process was done in one go. As expected of an opponent praised by Mourinho, Li used only two or three days to combine the new players and old players into one!"
However, Leeds United's performance was not over yet. Just 5 minutes later, Alves showed his speed for the first time in front of English fans.
This time, Portsmouth's shot was saved by Schmeichel and they got a corner kick, but the corner kick just flew into the penalty area and was hit by Schmeichel's fist in the air outside the penalty area, just falling at Rivaldo's feet.
Compared to Sneijder now, the Brazilian veteran obviously has more exquisite footwork and the ability to read the game. He didn't even look up to observe, but just glanced at the side with the corner of his eye, and kicked the ball into the goal.The ball was sent behind Portsmouth's defense again.
The two Brazilians seemed to have telepathy.
Rivaldo kicked and Alves began to speed up.
Before Rivaldo's pass flew across half the field, Alves had already crossed the center line.
When the speed reached the extreme, the football bounced and landed right in front of Alves. He didn't need to slow down at all. He just kicked the ball forward and continued to run at high speed.
Seeing that he had no help from any defensive players, Aston also rushed out of the penalty area without hesitation. Even if he fouled, he had to stop Alves from advancing outside the penalty area.
But Alves didn't let him do what he wanted.
Seeing that Aston was getting closer and closer to him, Alves just pushed the ball to the left, rushed over from Aston's right, and then easily sent the football into the empty goal.
"gooooooooool! A long-distance attack from Alves!" Lineker slapped the table excitedly, "I really admire Li's vision, Jon, can you imagine that several players who have only joined Leeds United for less than a week can score the first two goals in today's game?
Jon shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and his expression was a little helpless: "It's really surprising. It seems that Leeds United can win this game without much effort today."
It's not that I don't want to see Leeds United score, but Li Shiguang's luck is too good. In Jon's impression, Li Shiguang seems to win the first prize every time he draws a lottery, and he has never seen him buy a player who is not acclimatized to the Premier League...
Watching Li Shiguang celebrating with Alves on TV, Jon suddenly had a terrible idea in his mind.
As Leeds United's lineup gradually became complete.
Could they really create a miracle this season under the leadership of Li Shiguang?
