Chapter five hundred and nineteen in hot pursuit
Chapter 519: Chasing closely
"Today is January 1st, the first day of 2005, and it is also the day when the 21st round of the Premier League in 2004-05 season begins. Leiden Oriental faces West Bromwich in this game. Leiden Oriental's head coach Xiao Ming is still sitting in the stands in this game, and Chelsea, who is two points higher than them, will challenge Liverpool away. This is a good opportunity for Leiden Oriental to catch up with points. Okay, the game is now on!"
Leiden East started quite smoothly in this game. Perhaps it was stimulated by the return of Jinklaze. Ronaldo showed excellent form from the beginning of the game, constantly launching attacks from the left. When Figo was injured and Ronaldo was unable to play in this game because of continuous competitions. Ronaldo became the core of the frontcourt offense. Pirlo searched for the most passes, and he did not disappoint his teammates and kept creating murderous intent on the left.
In the 13th minute, Ronaldo passed the ball across the penalty area after passing two people on the left. Fanny, who followed, just needed to stretch his foot and poke it gently, and the ball flew into the goal!
"goooooooooooooool! Luther - Van Nistrue! His 16th league goal this season! Of course, this goal has to be thanked to Ronaldo. He completely disrupted the opponent's defense line on the wing. Van Nie just needs to run to the right position and kick it gently..."
When the game reached the 36th minute, Ronaldo once again gave a perfect assist. Gerald, who was inserted in the back row, made a powerful header, and the ball flew into the goal for the second time!
In the second half, when Ronaldo scored the score with a beautiful long shot outside the penalty area and set it to 3-0, the atmosphere inside the court reached a peak.
The camera also swept to Xiao Ming sitting in the stands at the right time: "Xiao in the stands is obviously very happy. Although he did not command on the sidelines, Leiden Dongfang still won consecutive victories. The one sitting on his left was Louis Figo, who was unable to play due to injury. He would not be able to play in February. However, Ronaldo, who replaced him today, performed very well. It seems that Figo is also under some pressure... Wait, who is sitting on his right?"
The commentator shouted, and then all the fans sitting next to the TV saw a face that had not appeared in front of them for two years but was still extremely familiar!
"That's... Jozell Jinklaze! Georgia left angel! Has his injury been healed? There was no news before... Although he has gained a little weight and has grown older, but yes, it's him! This is good news for Leiden East!"
Seeing his face appearing on the big screen at the scene, Jin Kraze laughed. At this time, the fans in the stands began to notice this. They first chattered and then immediately became a torrent that swept the entire stands!
The fans in the stands nearby looked at this quick look, and after seeing the real Jinklaze, they began to cheer loudly.
"Jozell, stand up and signal to the fans." Xiao Ming patted Jinklaze on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for two years, and they still welcome you so much... I'm a little jealous." Figo next to him also laughed.
Jinklaze stood up and waved his hand to greet the stands. The cheers of the fans became even more enthusiastic. Soon, I don’t know which stand started to lead the head. More than 30,000 Leiden Oriental fans shouted in unison: “Jozeel! Joezel! Joezel! Joezel!”
At this time, no one even cared about the situation of the game. The players on the court slowed down. Ronaldo looked back at the stage. In this game, he shot two passes and shone in one shot, but he still couldn't compare to the shock caused by the man who had been away for two years in the stands.
Being a substitute for such a man is really a stressful thing.
After this round, the biggest news was not that Leiden Oriental easily defeated his opponent at home, nor that Chelsea relied on super substitute Joe away. Kerr defeated Liverpool 1-0 in the second half goal worth a thousand gold, and continued to take the lead in the standings. Instead, people saw the long-lost figure of Jin Klaze in the stands at Upton Park Stadium...
Even at the post-match press conference, the reporters were just asking about Jin Klaze's situation. In the end, Xiao Ming turned his face and said that he would not accept any answers to any other questions other than the questions in the game, which made the reporters start to ask about Ronaldo's performance in this game, and Leiden East's victory in this game...
As for Jinklaze's situation, Leiden East held a special press conference to inform some of Jinklaze's current situation, saying that Jinklaze has only come out of the injury, and if you want to recover from the situation where you can play, you must have hard training and a long recovery time.
"That was an injury that was so serious that a normal person would have to walk on crutches for the rest of his life. At that time, we even thought that Jin Klaze could no longer stand on his legs with his own strength... But in the past two years, Jozell suffered pain that ordinary people could not imagine. He underwent various surgeries and treatments and was finally able to return to the training ground... So we would never rush to let him play the game. The two-year gap period takes time to make up. However, we have confidence in Jozell that he can walk out of his broken leg and return to the football field. All we have to do is to wait." Xiao Ming said at the press conference.
Jin Kraze, who was sitting next to him, nodded: "That's right... Since I have returned to the training ground, I must return to the football field. No matter how difficult the situation is, I will persevere. The boss has confidence in me, and I have confidence in Leiden East."
The reporters at the scene applauded collectively, with warm applause and extremely warm applause.
A player in his thirties returned to the court after a two-year gap period. This is a rare scene. In the world that Xiao Ming experienced, Redondo gradually faded out of the green field because of his injury for more than two years. The only better injury than Redondo was that he was suddenly injured, rather than accumulated too many injuries like Redondo. However, for a player like Jin Klaze, the various injuries he suffered in his career will definitely not be missing.
No matter how ice and snowy London is now, Xiao Ming is not worried that Jin Klaze will suffer more damage in this kind of weather training. Leicester training base was the first place where he started to invest in strengthening equipment. All three training grounds have geothermal equipment, so training on the lawn will not cause more trouble.
Pintus has a good idea of restorative training for players after injury, and Levine is an expert in sports injury. As early as the first day of Jinklaze's return, they had already formulated a list of restorative training for Jinklaze overnight. Although it was very tiring and would almost have no time to breathe every day, Pintus promised that he was confident that he could restore Jinklaze to a playable state within two months - of course, what level he could perform on the court depends on what level he had now.
So in the following time, the content of Jinklaze's training every day was shocking for other players in Leiden Oriental. Exercise with a lot of exercise, weight loss, strength training, eating nutritious meals, and restoring physical fitness in the gym, allowing Jinklaze's physical function to slowly return to his state before he was injured, boring, tasteless, and painful at the same time.
However, as Xiao Ming said, he had confidence in Jinklaze. In his low body, there was powerful strength and confidence, and a tenacious heart.
Winter has come, is spring still far away?
The eve of dawn is the darkest time, but if you can survive this period with strong confidence, you will see the rising sun that jumps out of the horizon and instantly covers the entire earth with golden sunshine. At that time, you will feel that this series of waiting is really worth it.
In the last game of Xiao Ming's suspension, Leiden Oriental encountered a tenacious blockade from Birmingham away and was eventually tied by the opponent two-2. Chelsea, who continued to win a row, defeated Middlesbrough with Drogba's two-goal goal at home, expanding the advantage of leading Leiden Oriental to four points.
In the 23rd round of the league, Leiden Oriental encountered Arsenal at home. This game was the last game of this round. In a previous game, Chelsea relied on Lampard's two goals to beat Tottenham 2-0 away. After being tied by Arsenal, he won six consecutive victories, leading Leiden Oriental by as many as seven points. The whole Premier League was exclaiming, and another giant-style team was rising...
In this case, Leiden East was forced to defeat Arsenal at home in order to continue to bite Chelsea and not be thrown away by him, so that the league will not lose suspense before entering the second half...
Now the league has been held for twenty-three rounds, Chelsea’s points are as high as 62 points, Leiden Oriental has one game less, fifty-five points, Arsenal also has one game less, with a point of 48 points, and Manchester United has 47 points, although it has been dumped by Chelsea by as much as 14 points, for Wenger, he will not be willing to give the victory to Leiden Oriental and let him chase Chelsea. To put it bluntly, Wenger would rather let Chelsea win than let Leiden Oriental have a five-game championship in the league...
Upton Park Stadium was packed at this moment, and all the fans of Leiden Oriental felt worried. Chelsea has been invincible in the league so far. Although they lost to Leiden Oriental at home, they only drew two games in the other twenty-two rounds of the league, and won all the other twenty games! This super high winning rate was not achieved even when Leiden Oriental created the highest score of the league of 94 points. With their current momentum, it is very likely to create a brand new league point record...
However, now, it is not the time to consider Chelsea. For Xiao Ming, the most important thing is to defeat Arsenal and not be too far away by Chelsea. In terms of the thickness of the overall lineup, Leiden Oriental still has to be above Chelsea. Although Chelsea's main lineup is performing very well now, after the Champions League starts, Leiden Oriental's chance will come.
So the key now is that you can't be left too far by Chelsea.
Lauren was suspended in this game, and the young Hoyt served as the right back. The center back was becoming more and more like a central defender, Gilberto Silva and Toure, Karaze served as the left back. Midfielder Fabregas and Vieira were in the middle. Pire and Rynberg were still on both wings, Henry and Van Persie were on the forward, and the goalkeeper was Lehman.
Xiao Ming has had a lot of trouble recently. Gerald was absent from the groin strain. Marklele also had physical problems after the last round of the game. In addition, Figo, who has not returned yet and Jinklaze, who is doing restorative training, Leiden East's midfield has changed a lot compared to a few years ago - Mascherano, Pirlo, Ronaldo and Ronaldo. Xiao Ming feels that his methods are really good. This lineup is a midfield combination for the next ten years...
The defense and forward line are very complete, Jascrienen, Daniel, Cole, Campbell, Lucio, Van Nie and Ronaldo.
The game entered a fast pace from the beginning. Leiden East's midfielder was much younger than the opponent. Ronaldo has now completely become the biggest source of firepower for Leiden East's offense. In the last game, Leiden East was tied by Birmingham more because of his poor form. Today, facing the opponent's young defender Hoyt, Ronaldo performed unparalleledly.
At the beginning of the game, he beautifully broke through Hoyt's defense on the wing. After the breakthrough, Ronaldo crossed the back point. Toure hurriedly cleared the ball and almost made an own goal. His header cleared the ball and rubbed the crossbar of the team and went out of the baseline, which made Lehman sweat in a cold sweat.
"Damn it, see it and then save it!" Lehman shouted at Toure.
Toure also seemed very aggrieved. Who knew that the Brazilian's crossing arc was so weird, with a strong rotation...
Taking this offense as an opportunity, Leiden East launched a fierce attack. Ronaldo and Fanny's shots tested Lehman's nerves, and Pirlo's clever lob shot at the front of the penalty area also made Lehman, who was a little ahead, get the ball out of the baseline in a very embarrassed manner.
Wenger also roared anxiously on the sidelines. Three of the opponent's four main midfielders have not played this season, so it is too shameful to suppress the midfield by Leiden East...
After being yelled by him, Arsenal's attack regained some vitality. Vieira stole Pirlo's straight pass to Ronaldo and handed it to Fabregas. The young Spaniard played short passes with Pire and Lyonberg on both wings and then passed it directly to Van Persie in the penalty area. After Van Persie broke through, the shot was blocked by Campbell with a beautiful body.
Next, Vieira made a long shot at the front of the penalty area, but was saved by Jasquelinen with one hand, and Lucio cleared the ball with big feet.
Leiden East ushered in a good opportunity in the 25th minute. Ronaldo's cross from the wing was saved by Leman, but the ball fell to Mascherano outside the penalty area. Argentina's midfielder immediately raised his foot and shot the empty goal. Fortunately, Toure, who returned to defense, headed the ball to clear the ball on the goal line, and Arsenal escaped.
Henry's performance in this game was average. He was stared at by Daniel on the left and encountered Lucio's fierce interception in the penalty area. He could only cause some trouble through passing. However, Van Persie was quite active. After receiving Henry's pass, he broke through and shot. The ball was blocked by Jasquelenen for a moment, and then hugged it tightly in his arms.
After a stalemate of the game, Leiden East finally took the lead.
Pirlo passed the ball beautifully in the middle. After receiving the ball from the right, Ronaldo forced his way into the sideline after receiving the ball, blocking the unexpected Karaze behind him and then continued to move into the penalty area. Ronaldo and Van Nicht came to the front point at the same time to attract the opponent's two central defenders to the front point. However, Ronaldo passed the ball to the back point. Hoyt lost the position in defense. Ronaldo blocked Hoyt behind him, and then turned around and volleyed in half to the ball!
This shot that was less than ten meters away from the goal left Lehman unresponsive. In the 41st minute of the first half, Lehden East took the lead!
Xiao Ming raised his hands and jumped up in the coaching table. This was his first time commanding on the sidelines after the suspension. Now it seems that these five suspensions are just right, at least he did not miss the game against Arsenal!
The song of "The Red Dragon Flag Flying" resounded in the sky in the stands. Luo shook his fingers and ran down the stands, spreading his arms to listen to the cheers like landslides and tsunamis coming from the stands.
This is a goal close to locking in the victory.
In the following game, Arsenal players launched a crazy counterattack and gained a certain advantage in the game. Leiden Oriental launched a defensive counterattack on the premise of solidifying the midfield. In the 61st minute of the second half, relying on Pirlo's straight pass from the midfield and Ronaldo's single-handed straight forward and then hit Lehman, the advantage of scoring the goalkeeper's lead was expanded to 2-0. Leiden Oriental completely secured the victory.
The last twenty minutes of the game became Yasquelenen's performance. He saved Henry's free kick and long shot. Vieira's shot after breaking through also flew out of the baseline. When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the stands became a sea of joy. Leiden East continued to maintain a complete victory at home - their losses and draws in all competitions this season were all obtained away.
"We are getting stronger and stronger." Jin Kraze in the stands sighed after the game. This season, Leiden Oriental scored 58 points in the 23rd round of the league. In previous years, it was an advantage that could get the second place away from ten points. However, this year, they are still four points behind Chelsea. It cannot be said that Leiden Oriental is not strong enough, but Chelsea is too lucky. They survived the running-in period by relying on a continuous small win, and now they are the harvest season.
Chapter completed!
