Chapter 246
Beautiful!
After shaking his fist vigorously, Li Shiguang finally pulled out a little smile on his lips.
Ibrahimovic's goal undoubtedly boosted Leeds United's morale.
Just look at the fans celebrating wildly in the Elland Road stands. You know, at the beginning of the second half, everyone seemed a little listless when cheering for the players on the field.
"Leeds United scored a goal, the goal was scored by Zlatan............" With Eddie Gray's deliberately prolonged tone, the fans in the stadium shouted with him, "Ibrahimovic!!!!!!!"
Ibrahimovic, who scored the goal, did not celebrate. After snatching the ball from Dida who ran into the goal, he called his teammates to run to their own half. The team was still one goal behind, and it was far from time to be happy.
Li Shiguang was the same. After being happy, he took a special look at the visiting team's bench.
After the goal was lost, Ancelotti had called Maldini to the sidelines to give some explanations.
Now the fat man has returned to his previous calm appearance, with his arms folded in front of his chest, looking at the players on the field calmly, giving people the feeling that the situation is still under his control.
Li Shiguang curled his lips and rolled his eyes.
He knew that with Ancelotti's level, he must have seen that the main reason for AC Milan's loss was that the players seemed to feel that they had won and were a little relaxed.
Calling Maldini to the sidelines to give a few words was nothing more than asking Milan's meritorious captain to return to the field and yell at his teammates to wake up!
····
"Ah! AC Milan seemed to realize the problem after losing the ball, and they strengthened their defense on the right side." After watching the restarted game for a few minutes, Jon, who had seen the hope of equalizing, sighed helplessly and said, "It seems that the game will enter a tug-of-war again. Oddo does not give Bale any chance to start now."
Lineker also came back from his excitement just now, and he also found something wrong: "Indeed, now that I think about it, Leeds United just seized the opportunity of AC Milan's lack of concentration after the start of the second half. I just saw Maldini roaring at his teammates on the court. It seems that AC has now regained its form in the first half."
As the two commentators said.
After the game resumed, Leeds United still regarded AC Milan's right side as the main attack direction. Seeing the hope of equalizing, the players were in high spirits. The offensive during this period was also higher than the other wave, rushing towards AC Milan's defense like a tsunami.
From the scene, AC Milan is now in an absolutely passive position.
But in fact, Leeds United's attack did not have any practical effect, and they didn't even get a corner kick or a sideline ball near the bottom line!
After returning to the court, Maldini had scolded every player in the midfield and backcourt, including Jankulovski on the left.
AC Milan's meritorious family is not boasting. In terms of prestige and influence in the team, Ancelotti may not be as high as Maldini! So after his scolding, AC Milan's concentration on the court returned to the state of the first half.
Although the ball was given to Leeds United, who were in high spirits, they were always looking for an opportunity to kill Leeds United!
····
Time.
Spending every minute and every second.
Every time Leeds United failed to attack, Li Shiguang would subconsciously raise his wrist to look at the watch.
The game had been going on for 74 minutes, and the score was still 1:2 without any change.
Just like Jon's analysis before the game, the long-range running up and down consumed Ribery and Bale's physical energy. Bale even had cramps in the 60th minute.
In order to ensure the health of the players, Li Shiguang, who was desperate, used up three substitutions in one go.
Podolski and Torres replaced Bale and Ribery on both sides.
Modric replaced Mascherano, Toure retreated to play as a single defensive midfielder, Modric and Sneijder partnered as central midfielders, so that Leeds United's formation completely changed to 4-3-3.
"It seems that Li is going to give it a try!" Seeing Li Shiguang's substitution adjustment, Jon's face was solemn, "Leeds United has almost given up defense now, be careful of AC Milan's counterattack!"
"Why give up defense?" Lineker was a little puzzled when he heard Jon's statement.
"Brother, have you ever seen Torres and Podolski retreating deep to defend?" John rolled his eyes at Lineker and said unhappily, "If nothing unexpected happens, the remaining 15 minutes will be enough for us to win.", Leeds United will press forward and attack! "
····
Jon's analysis was completely correct. After Li Shiguang made substitutions, Leeds United pressed forward and wanted to equalize the score in the last ten minutes.
But things are unpredictable. When the game reached the 85th minute, an accident occurred!
This was Leeds United's offensive round. Torres held off substitute Cafu on the right and swept across the middle. Ibrahimovic, who inserted in time, touched the ball, but under the interference of Maldini, his shot did not exert force, and the ball bounced and rolled out of the baseline.
And Dida When he brought the ball back from the baseline to the front of the goal, he found that Leeds United's defense was not in place, so he kicked the ball directly to the left half of Leeds United without hesitation.
The target was Kaka who had already run across the center line!
The Leeds United players immediately discovered Kaka's threat, and Sun Jihai immediately stuck to him, trying to grab the first point.
In the fierce physical confrontation, neither of them grabbed the first point.
The ball bounced on the ground and continued to fly to the baseline.
Silva had also wrapped around at this time , he planned to cooperate with Sun Jihai to close the door and lock Kaka behind him.
But Kaka didn't give him this opportunity. After the football fell from the air again, he used his head to push the football forward before Sun Jihai, then used his body to squeeze Sun Jihai behind him, and then he quickly ran forward two steps to control the ball.
Kaka just ran to the football and saw Silva rushing over. He just used his right foot to pick up the football in the air to the middle, and then kicked with his left foot and passed from behind Silva.
As early as Kaka When fighting with Sun Jihai, in addition to Silva, Kompany behind him was also moving slowly towards this side. After all, he was the player that Li Shiguang had instructed to focus on defending, and Kompany did not dare to neglect him.
Originally, he had divided part of his attention on Inzaghi who was sneaking towards this side.
But after seeing Kaka pass Silva with a lob, Kompany did not hesitate and rushed over here at full speed.
Because he knew that once Kaka completely broke through Silva, Leeds United would not be far from elimination...
