Chapter 338
"Torres is very fast, this is a great counterattack opportunity for Leeds United!" Torres's desperate forward posture in the TV broadcast made Lineker's commentary voice suddenly become louder.
Correspondingly, the thunderous cheers in Old Trafford turned into boos the moment Lahm intercepted the ball. More than 70,000 fans wanted to put pressure on Torres in this way!
Because they could see that once Torres dribbled into the penalty area, Manchester United would be in danger in today's game!
The Manchester United players also reacted quickly.
Before Ferguson rushed to the sidelines and shouted loudly, Ferdinand and Vidic, the two central defenders, turned around and rushed directly towards Torres, regardless of whether there were other Leeds United players advancing at the same time.
At this time, they had only one idea.
Even if they got a red card, they must keep the ball or Torres in place!
Sneijder's straight pass was like blowing the horn of Leeds United's attack.
Except for Torres who rushed to the front.
Kaka, Adriano, Modric, including Bale and Alves on both sides all pressed forward. Their pressure made the full-backs on both sides of Manchester United dare not move inside to fill the position in a short time. Giggs could no longer run. Hargreaves, who lost the ball, and Carrick, who had been hanging around the center circle, followed Kaka and chased back.
In just a few seconds.
Leeds United formed a six-on-four situation in Manchester United's half.
Torres, who started first, was the first to touch the ball.
While running, he raised his eyes to observe the situation in Manchester United's penalty area and found that Schmeichel had abandoned the goal and rushed out of the penalty area.
Schmeichel was in good form today, and Torres, who was sitting on the bench, knew it.
He was not sure whether he could score the ball against Schmeichel after taking this big step, under the interference of the two central defenders behind him.
So Torres gave up the idea of taking another big step forward.
Instead, he pushed the ball forward with moderate force to a rather ambiguous position.
This position is about 30 meters away from the Manchester United goal.
For Schmeichel, who was about to run to the penalty area line, seeing Torres's dribbling made him quite entangled for a moment.
If he stood still and stopped rushing forward, Torres could shoot after catching up with the ball. Facing this old teammate with abundant physical strength, Schmeichel was not completely sure that he could save his shot.
But if he attacked...
He looked at Ferdinand and Vidic who were getting closer and closer to Torres.
Schmeichel made up his mind and rushed out of the penalty area without slowing down. He ran towards the ball.
Although the three Manchester United players did not communicate verbally, they surprisingly reached the same idea in their hearts at this time.
Torres' shooting needs some fine-tuning, and at least he has to adjust his running pace.
To adjust, he needs to slow down.
And the moment Torres slowed down, that was when the three of them put down the tackle!
Indeed, it was the case.
In their eyes, Torres' speed was getting slower and slower as they got closer to the ball.
Finally.
Under the gaze of more than 70,000 fans in the stadium, the three Manchester United players felt that they had reached the best position.
Without hesitation.
Three people, from three angles, fell to the ground and shoveled!
Schmeichel's goal was the ball, while Vidic and Ferdinand's goal was Torres!
Just as Torres' mind was turning rapidly, his mind was making choices quickly, and he was frantically thinking about how to deal with this situation, a voice suddenly came from behind!
"Fernando! Behind!"
Torres didn't hear who was calling him, and he didn't even know if it was his teammates who were calling.
But faced with this situation, he still made a choice.
Put force on your feet.
Pull the explosive power of your body to the extreme.
Torres only took one or two steps to step in front of the ball.
Then he kicked his right foot backwards, used his heel to knock the ball behind him, and then supported himself on the ground with his left foot, and the whole person flew into the air, maintaining a forward posture, avoiding the tackle of the Manchester United back three!
In a flash.
The three Manchester United players who made the tackle collided with each other. Fortunately, after seeing Torres jump up, they all retracted their feet at the same time, otherwise this tackle would have been a loss.
Because of the tension in the tackle just now, Ferdinand did not hear the sound behind him, but he saw Torres knocking the ball back, which made him feel relieved.
In any case.
The farther the football is from the Manchester United goal, at least the threat is smaller.
Ferdinand, who didn't care about the dull pain in his feet and knew that the football was still in his own half,One got up from the ground and looked back.
But the imagined scene of the football stopping on the grass did not appear.
What came into view was a figure in a white jersey.
Modric appeared behind the football, and there was no Manchester United defender beside him!
He ran for almost 90 minutes.
Modric was also exhausted, but at this moment, facing Manchester United's defenseless goal, which was so empty in his sight, he had nothing in his mind, and his eyes were only the football rolling slowly on the grass!
Support the ground with the left foot.
Swing up the right leg with all the strength of the body, and then swing it out!
Then.
The right foot hit the football firmly with the instep!
The sound was not loud, but it was particularly harsh to Ferdinand!
The distance of nearly 35 meters was not a problem for Modric, the first penalty taker in Leeds United.
The football drew a beautiful arc in the air.
Then, without any surprise, it flew into the goal of Manchester United...
····
When the football hit the ground and bounced into the goal of Manchester United, the boos in the entire Old Trafford stadium stopped abruptly!
Li Shiguang, who could not hear any other sounds except boos, also heard the loud cheers after Modric scored at this moment.
"It's over!! It's over!! Lineker jumped up from the commentary booth, "In the 87th minute!! Leeds United played the most exquisite cooperation in this game!! Torres faced the double team of three Manchester United players and made an assist in an imaginative way!! Modric kicked the ball directly behind him!! The ball was hoisted into the goal of Manchester United without any defense!! "
"It's incredible!! "Jon took over Lineker's words, "Manchester United paid the price for their carelessness!! Carrick followed Kaka, and Hargreaves was attracted by Adriano!! Where is Park Ji-sung!? The Korean who should have appeared next to Modric at this time was still strolling on the right side!! Schmeichel performed the whole game, but he messed up his perfect performance at the last moment!! "
"Anyway!! "
"Leeds United! They are at Old Trafford and overtook!! "
