Rewind 30 seconds, and Chelsea were organizing a new round of attacks.

Lampard, who received the ball in the center circle, passed it to Robben on the left wing.

Upon seeing Robben receive the ball, Lahm, who was directly in front of him, and Milner, who was next to him, immediately moved closer.

After Milner approached, Joe Cole, who was temporarily unmarked, immediately waved to Robben for the ball. Robben saw his teammate waving for the ball, but after glancing at the small full-back rushing towards him, perhaps because his high success rate in the previous 20 minutes had given him confidence, he ultimately did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he took the ball with his left foot toward the sideline and prepared to make a powerful run.

But this very act of leading caused a problem.

Behind him, before Robben even received the ball, Bale had already quietly moved closer to him.

Bale saw Joe Cole calling for the ball from Robben. Bale thought Robben would pass the ball back to the middle, and his steps were a few seconds slower. But then he saw Robben lead the ball towards the sideline. In that instant, Bale didn't hesitate and burst out with a powerful burst of speed. Before Robben could react, Bale rushed past him and poked the ball to Lahm, who was right in front of him.

Li Shiguang, who had been directing from the sidelines, saw Bale move closer to Robben. The moment Bale accelerated forward, Li Shiguang immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity for a quick counter-attack. He clasped his hands together in an "O" shape and shouted loudly at the field, "Sebastian, run forward!"

Deisler, who was not far from him, heard his manager's shout and, without hesitation, turned and ran towards the Chelsea goal.

Bale's every move was under Lahm's watchful eye, so after receiving the ball that Bale had poked at him, Lahm didn't hesitate and immediately passed it to Milner, who was closest to him. Milner then turned and passed the ball to Yaya Toure at the edge of the penalty area.

Yaya Touré made a slight adjustment and then launched a long ball directly to Deisler, who had already run to the midfield line.

The entire passing process was extremely smooth, with no player making any unnecessary movements. In about 3 seconds, the offense and defense switched places, and the two sides were completely reversed.

When Deisler received the ball, Terry and Carvalho were frantically retreating near midfield, Makelele was also moving closer to Deisler, and Lampard was running towards his own penalty area.

The next second, the explosive run that Robben had just imagined happened to Deisler. At this moment, Gallas, who was matched up against Deisler, had been left behind. When Deisler rushed to the vicinity of the penalty area, Gallas was chasing behind him, while Makelele was rushing over at full speed from his left rear. Before the two could get close, Deisler looked up to observe the situation in the penalty area, swung his right foot, and delivered a beautiful cross.

Inside the penalty area, Terry was marking Falcao in front of him. When he saw Deisler cross the ball, Terry took a step forward, trying to use his body to push aside the short guy who looked at least 10 centimeters shorter than him.

But a second later, he discovered something terrifying. Just as he squeezed in, a familiar sense of oppression came from the small man in front of him. In the end, he was the one who actively sought physical resistance and was pushed aside by the small man.

Falcao then received the ball and, with no one marking him, easily dribbled past the onrushing Cech and kicked the ball into the empty net.

"Goal!!!! Falcao!!!! This young man from South America has scored his first goal since joining Leeds United!!!!!" The passionate shouts of Ere Geddy echoed throughout the stadium the moment the ball flew into the goal.

The Leeds United fans throughout the stadium echoed the same chant.

"Well done!! Falcao!"

"Sebastian! That was a beautiful pass too!!!"

Then Li Shiguang's image appeared on the stadium's big screen, where he was on the coach's bench, hugging Allen and celebrating wildly!

Although Li Shiguang was full of confidence before the match, he was still a little nervous because his opponent was the defending champion Chelsea and he was under pressure from the start. But Falcao's goal put his mind at ease.

Leeds United are currently in the lead!

A moment later, Falcao and Deisler ran over and hugged Li Shiguang. The three of them celebrated.

In contrast, Mourinho on the opposite coaching bench looked livid, having kicked a water bottle onto the field. He stared at the wildly celebrating Li Shiguang and Falcao, muttering curses under his breath.

Just like Terry, who looked completely bewildered on the field, Mourinho was also puzzled as to how Terry could be physically overpowered by Falcao, who looked so thin.

Later, after being reminded by the referee, the Leeds United players, who were celebrating wildly, returned to the field, and the game continued.

In the latter part of the first half, Robben, who had already been called to the sidelines and scolded by Mourinho, dared not hold onto the ball for too long, which greatly reduced the pressure on Lahm, who was marking him.

As both sides' stamina waned, the pace of the game slowed down, and Leeds United went into halftime with a 1-0 lead.

Back in the locker room, Li Shiguang immediately made adjustments to the lineup. In the second half, he planned to play a five-defender formation to show Mourinho how well he had parked the bus!

First, they substituted Lahm, who had expended a lot of energy in the first half, and brought on Thiago Silva to play in a three-man defense. Then they moved Bale to the left-back position.
