Chapter 321
Bento, who was sitting on the bench, didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at first.
But when he saw Neuer kick the ball directly, and then the three forwards of Leeds United started at the same time, he couldn't help it, jumped up from his seat and ran to the sidelines.
"Fuck! Get back to defense!"
Bento shouted while raising his hands frantically to signal the fourth official that the forwards of Leeds United were offside.
But the fourth official ignored Bento.
When Neuer passed the ball, the three forwards of Leeds United were all in their own half. If the referee blew them offside at this time, the referee would probably be drowned in spit after the game!
For a while, the Alvalade Stadium was booed.
The home fans seemed to want to slow down the speed of the football in the air in this way.
But it didn't work.
The three forwards of Leeds United had already crossed the center line, and Ibrahimovic, who was relatively the slowest, had already opened up half a body of Toner who was defending him.
About two seconds later, the ball landed.
Neuer passed the ball to the right, but gave enough lead time, so Adriano just gently used his foot to push the ball that fell on the grass and was about to bounce back forward, while controlling the rebound force of the ball, and continued to speed up and rush to the penalty area of Sporting Lisbon!
The most desperate person at this moment was Sporting Lisbon's goalkeeper, Stojkovic.
5 seconds ago.
He was still standing on tiptoe in his own penalty area to watch the situation in the front court, wondering if his teammates could score a goal before the midfield whistle sounded.
And 5 seconds later.
The situation on the field was reversed.
Stojkovic stood alone in the penalty area, waiting for the judgment of the three forwards of Leeds United.
Soon.
Adriano had rushed out of the penalty area with the ball.
Seeing that his teammates really couldn't catch up with the Brazilian striker, Stojkovic made up his mind, gave up the goal behind him, and rushed towards Adriano quickly.
Almost everyone knew that Stojkovic's attack was just a last-ditch effort.
This was indeed the case.
At the moment when Stojkovic fell to the ground, Adriano didn't choose to force the shot, but passed the ball to the middle with his right foot, and Ibrahimovic, who ran a little slower than him, followed up with a light and heavy push shot.
The football rolled into the door of Sporting Lisbon amidst the boos...
····
"Ahahaha!! The ball went in!!!" Jon looked at the ball caught in the net and immediately shouted, "The ball went in!! The game was almost 35 minutes in and Leeds United took the lead away from home!! No one expected that the initiator of Leeds United's attack would be goalkeeper Neuer!! Ibrahimovic scored his first goal in the Champions League this season!!"
"Goooooooooooooo Oool!" Lineker was also very excited, "A simple and efficient attack! Starting from Neuer who launched the attack, Leeds United only used two passes to knock on the goal of Sporting Lisbon! ! Hahahahaha, this makes the Portuguese suffer! ! Don't you want the midfield? Li gave the midfield to you, and then used the simplest long pass to knock on your door! ! "
After scoring the goal, Ibrahimovic did not run to celebrate immediately. He turned his head to look at the linesman on the sidelines to confirm whether the goal was valid.
After all, both he and Adriano who participated in the attack just now were through offside
But Ibrahimovic has not found the position of the linesman.
A whistle sounded in his ears. Looking in the direction of the sound, Ibrahimovic saw that the referee David had pointed his finger at the center circle.
No problem!
The goal is valid!
Leeds United leads Sporting Lisbon 1:0 away!
Ibrahimovic ran to the bench excitedly.
There, Li Shiguang had already embraced Rivaldo, who had just looked worried, and turned to face the fans in the stands. He arrogantly raised his index finger in front of his mouth, signaling the home fans who were booing to shut up!
Then.
Ibrahimovic ran to Li Shiguang's side, and together with Simeone who also rushed out from the bench, followed Li Shiguang to the stands of the Alvalade Stadium and made the same gesture.
The on-site director also cut the TV screen to Li Shiguang and the other two at this time.
Seeing this, Lineker laughed directly: "Hahahahahahaha, it seems that Li was also very frustrated watching the game on the sidelines for more than half an hour. I haven't seen him so arrogant on the road for a long time!"
"No way." Jon's face was also helpless, "Li is just like this. Sometimes I even think heEven crazier than Mourinho. As a head coach, he took the lead in making such a move in an away game. I hope UEFA will not fine him after the game..."
····
Compared to the lively atmosphere on the bench of Leeds United.
The bench of Sporting Lisbon next to him was quiet.
Bento looked at Li Shiguang with a dark face.
His mind was full of the picture of Li Shiguang holding a fishing rod in his hand and a smirk on his face.
He knew that he and the players on the field had been fished.
Li Shiguang took the initiative to give up the competition in the midfield, just to lure the enemy deep into the field and catch him off guard like before.
The most important thing is.
Leeds United did succeed!
In any case, Ibrahimovic's goal broke the balance on the field. Whether Sporting Lisbon wanted to or not, they could not change the tactical plan they had made before...
After the game resumed.
Sporting Lisbon immediately started to counterattack, but Leeds United did not give them too many opportunities.
Ten minutes later, the referee blew the whistle and both sides entered the halftime break.
After returning to the locker room.
Li Shiguang immediately made adjustments to the formation. He adjusted the 4-3-3 in the first half to 4-4-2.
Reus and Rodriguez were replaced by Xabi Alonso and Modric.
After the second half of the game, Bento found that his tactics in the first half did not work.
Li Shiguang was the one who brought the trend of high-pressure pressing in the Premier League. He was very familiar with this style of play.
After Alonso and Modric came on in the second half, Leeds United strengthened its control over the midfield.
For a period of time, people only saw the players of Sporting Lisbon. The scene of them running around the field but just couldn't get the ball.
Finally.
The game was in the 73rd minute.
Taking advantage of the fact that the players of Sporting Lisbon had lost a lot of energy, and Adriano and Ibrahimovic had completely attracted the attention of the opposing defenders, Modric sent a diagonal pass to the back of Sporting Lisbon's penalty area in the right half, and Kaka made a pass from the back point and sent the ball into the door of Sporting Lisbon again with a cushion shot.
2:0!
Kaka not only scored his first Champions League goal this season, but also helped Leeds United kill the game!
