The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1118
1118 Adapt Oneself to the Situation
Quick!
It was really too fast!
To be honest, both Marquis and Peeker were now close to Diego Milito, and they charged a little closer, making the wings seem very empty.
Normally, these two ribs were given to Puyol and Pique, because Diego Milito suddenly intercepted the ball, Pique went to the premise to intercept Diego Milito. Diego Milito shoved the ball diagonally behind them.
Originally, watching Cristiano Ronaldo was still very far away from them. But in a few breaths Cristiano Ronaldo had rushed over.
Too fast.
Peeker was dumbfounded!
The Barcelona fans who came from afar were all dumbfounded, very, very shocked.
“It’s dangerous! Hurry up and retreat to defend!” On the sidelines, Comrade Guardiola was unable to remain calm as he immediately shouted at the players on the pitch.
But Cristiano Ronaldo was too fast. No matter if it was Peeker, Marquis or Puyol, they couldn’t catch up!
“Single saber, Leeds United has a single saber. This is an excellent opportunity!” Eddie Gray, the BBC’s commentator, roared excitedly as Leeds United’s chance arrived.
Barcelona’s hopes are now all on goalkeeper Valdes.
Faced with such an opportunity, Valdes could only rush out and pounce on Cristiano Ronaldo, who came with the ball.
However, he was still a little far away from Cristiano Ronaldo. When Valdes rushed out, Cristiano Ronaldo directly raised his foot and shot.
To tell the truth, this provocation was still very difficult. He could only control the strength very carefully.
“Provoke, Cristiano Ronaldo provoke!” Eddie Gray roared excitedly. If he scored, it would be too important for Leeds United.
The football leapt up like a rainbow over Valdes’ head and quickly fell towards the empty door behind Valdes.
“Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!” Eddie Gray roared excitedly, “The one who scored–”
“Cristiano ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Ronaldo!” The Leeds United fans roared.
The entire Crown Stadium exploded in an instant, as if it had accumulated volcanic lava. It instantly burst out and soared into the sky, dyeing the entire Leeds red.
“It’s a goal! Cristiano Ronaldo scored, Leeds are ahead of Barcelona. One-zero, the Champions League final is waving to Leeds United, Leeds United are awesome!” Mark Lawrenson roared excitedly.
At this moment, the Leeds United fans were really too excited. One by one, they were very excited. They were hugging each other and cheering enthusiastically.
On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng waved his fist excitedly. This match had a very good start.
“Leeds United scored at home in the 16th minute of the first half. Leeds United are ahead of Barcelona. Let’s congratulate Leeds United. They are one step closer to the Champions League final. Perfect!” Eddie Gray was very excited.
Eddie Gray could tell that Barcelona were having a difficult time winning this game. Leeds United’s defense had restrained Barcelona’s attack. If Barcelona were at this level, it would definitely be Leeds United who won.
However, Zhong Cheng’s brows furrowed.
Zhong Cheng’s gaze was fixated on the referee, Tom Henning. Could this fellow be like another time and space, starting to make a move?
Zhong Cheng wasn’t sure, but he was more worried.
Zhong Cheng has paid too much for the Champions League this time, and now he doesn’t want to be eliminated at this time. Leeds United’s goal is to win the Champions League.
The match went on, and Zhong Cheng’s gaze was fixed on Tom Henning.
Inside the stadium, Barcelona has clearly stepped up the pace of the game.
Guardiola knew the importance of this game, and he knew very well that the situation did not deteriorate. They could still eliminate Leeds United with just one goal. So, this is not the worst case scenario, Barcelona just need a goal now.
On the pitch, Barcelona’s attack was very ferocious.
Of course, their tactical characteristic was still to control the ball and then control the ball. They kept the football firmly under their feet, and then the players in the front court were crazily interspersed, running back and forth, tearing apart Leeds United’s defensive line in search of space.
However, Leeds United’s defensive line has always been very intact, Barcelona is difficult to tear apart Leeds United’s defensive line. So Guardiola signaled the players to put the football under Leo Messi’s feet and let Leo Messi break through with the ball to break through Leeds United’s defense.
“Wow! Messi! Here comes Leo Messi. This guy is like a little flea. He’s very difficult to deal with. He’s going to break through. It’s dangerous!” Eddie Gray was very nervous.
Leo Messi watched Gareth Bale swing his upper body left and right in front of him. Suddenly, a human shot passed Gareth Bale and quickly slammed into the middle of the area.
The Leeds United fans cried out in alarm and thought it was dangerous.
Leo Messi’s combination of human balls was really, really good. It was the only one on the planet right now. It was really perfect.
Moreover, Leo Messi was very nimble, able to sneak through the crowd and was extremely lethal.
With a bang, Sedu Keita knocked Leo Messi to the ground.
Leo Messina’s small body fell to the side and landed heavily on the turf.
“Butcher! You damned garbage butcher, go to hell. Fuck him, red card, send him off, this damned garbage!” The Barcelona fans from afar are lashing out wildly.
Zhong Cheng’s heart tightened as he stared fixedly at Tom Henning. Was this fellow going to make a move?
To be honest, Sedu Keita didn’t have any problems this time. This was a reasonable collision. It was just that Liao Messi’s body was too thin, and she was knocked over, and she fell harshly. So, it looks like it’s been violated.
On this side, Sedu Keita thought he didn’t foul and caught up with the football and immediately stuffed it back into Gareth Bale, who was preparing to accelerate his frenzied assault on Barcelona’s defence.
Du!
Referee Tom Henning blew his whistle, signaling that Sedu Keita had fouled and awarded Barcelona a a not-so-good front-court free-kick that was slightly farther away.
Yes, Sedu Keita is very unconvinced. This is not a foul. Why should I give him a foul? What if Leeds United lost a very, very good chance to fight back?
Tom Henning immediately walked over to Sedu Keita and verbally warned him that if he continued to talk nonsense, he would give up the card.
The Barcelona fans were shouting, “Red card, red card, send him off, send him off, garbage!”
Zhong Cheng immediately came to the sidelines and shouted loudly, “Saidu, don’t argue. Defend properly. Don’t give him any excuses, understand?”
Sedu Keita heard Zhong Cheng’s shout. He nodded slightly and said, “Got it, boss!”
Sedu Keita backed up to defend.
At this moment, Barcelona immediately released a free-kick and the football flew out at a rapid angle, heading straight for the far end of the penalty area. Pique jumped up high and ferried the football to the middle.
“Thierry Henry, danger!” Eddie Gray suddenly exclaimed madly.
Thierry Henry swung his leg sideways in the middle of the penalty area and sent a volley of kicks flying towards Leeds United’s goal with a bang.
All the Leeds United fans present felt their hearts twitch and almost stopped.
The football whistled towards the upper right corner of Leeds United’s goal, but unfortunately, it was a little higher and the football flew out of the bottom line.
‘”Wow! Almost, Henry is really young! Leeds United must pay attention to defense. We can’t give them another chance like this. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous!” Eddie Gray said immediately.
Yes, Barcelona’s attack this time was really dangerous, almost.
It was Leeds United’s best chance yet in the first half, but the Barcelona man was a bit unlucky.
Three minutes later, Barcelona midfielder Xavi suddenly delivered a beautiful long diagonal pass, bringing the football directly to the feet of Eto’o, who was pulled to the side. Eto’o’s connection was very fast. He didn’t give the Leeds United defenders a chance at all. He went inside horizontally and opened up a small gap. He directly shot out from the front of the restricted area.
With a bang, the football whistled towards the far corner of Leeds United’s goal.
The ball was very fast, like a bolt of lightning, very dangerous. All the Leeds United fans screamed nervously.
Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, Zhong Zheng, who was in front of the goal, rushed over and slammed the football out of the bottom line with a single palm. Then, he performed a miraculous save,
A corner kick. Barcelona got a corner kick.
Harvey curled the ball into Leeds United’s box and Compani jumped high and pushed the ball out of Pique’s head. The soccer ball flew out of the restricted area. Iniesta, who was lying in ambush here, directly shot the ball without stopping. The soccer ball flew into the sky.
Barcelona ‘s offense has picked up and is gradually threatening Leeds United’ s goal.
Zhong Cheng frowned.
Zhong Cheng immediately signaled to the Leeds United players to tighten up their defensive line and defend more tightly. Moreover, with more strength, they definitely could not give the Barcelona man a chance.
After that, the Barcelona players were still very, very hard working, but the chances were obviously less. Now it was still Leeds United who were one goal ahead. Now the Barcelona players are a little anxious, if this continues, their Barcelona pair will be so finished?
At this moment, the referee of the match, Tom Henning, immediately blew the whistle at the end of the first half of the match.
Yes, the first half is over and Leeds United have a one-goal lead.
The Barcelona players should be more anxious now, because they are not only behind, but also have few excellent chances. If this continues, Barcelona will be really hanging in the balance.
