The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1219
1219 As I Expected, We Will Win
One to two!
Liverpool scored a goal and the fans screamed with excitement.
Not long after the second half of the game started, Liverpool suddenly erupted and scored a goal. This was going to be fun.
The Liverpool man sees hope of equalising or even overtaking.
Because the Leeds United fans saw Benitez jumping in excitement on the sidelines! They knew Benitez very well that he would not celebrate if he scored an ordinary goal. Rafael Benitez is celebrating in this way. It’s not simple.
And you have to know that Liverpool are still behind at this time.
Normally, if Liverpool were a goal behind, Rafa Benitez would have been frantically directing Liverpool’s players to come back and attack frantically in an attempt to equalise or even reverse the game as soon as possible.
Now that she was celebrating like this, there was only one problem, and that was that he was very confident that he would win this match.
Liverpool fans were not happy with the goal but hoping to equalise.
Indeed!
Rafael Benitez is happy that his assumptions are correct.
Sure enough, Leeds United spent too much of their fitness and overdrafted their athletic prowess in the first half. As soon as the second half of the game started, Leeds United were finished.
Rafael Benitez was excited and the game was taken over by Liverpool from the start.
Benitez immediately turned to look at Zhong Cheng in the Leeds United coaching bench. He did not know if Zhong Cheng could see any problems with the Leeds United team. However, as far as he knew, Zhong Cheng was very powerful. Zhong Cheng should be able to easily look at these questions.
Why did Zhong Cheng sit on the coaching bench and do nothing?
Could this be some sort of Leeds United conspiracy?
Rafael Benitez is concerned about that, but now he has a reputation and is thinking about it. Now Liverpool just need to score goals and the sooner they draw, the better it will be for them.
Rafael Benitez stared at Zhong Cheng and signalled for the Liverpool players to hurry back and prepare for the next wave of attacks.
Liverpool players were celebrating with goal scorer Fernando Torres. Fernando Torres scored a very good goal and the Liverpool players were very excited and excited.
The Leeds United players shook their heads repeatedly. Why was it that they were able to get a goal back so quickly?
The Leeds United players kept shaking their heads. Next up, they had to cheer up. Otherwise, the game would really be over.
The Leeds United players are becoming more cautious and are reluctant to give the Liverpool man another chance.
On the sidelines, Albertini’s eyebrows furrowed. He naturally saw the problem. Sure enough, there were still some problems with his physical fitness. The failure to score the third goal in the first half was Leeds United’s biggest mistake of the game.
Now there is only one ball in the lead, which is very weak.
And Albertini knows that if he loses the second goal, Leeds United will be doomed.
Because the second goal would be a huge blow to Leeds United, followed by a crushing defeat.
Therefore, Leeds United must not concede another goal.
At this moment, Albertini immediately came to the sidelines to remind the Leeds United players to retreat, set up a defensive line and seriously defend, not to give the Liverpool man any more chances.
Of course, Leeds United will not give up the opportunity to counter-attack, as long as Leeds United score another goal, Liverpool will also suffer a very big blow.
So, the most important thing now is the goal.
Whoever scores the goal will almost certainly win the game.
Of course, Albertini is hoping that there will be no more goals in the game so that their Leeds United team can win.
However, Albertini could not afford to gamble now.
Albertini still wants to keep as many goals as possible, but also as much as possible in the counter-attack, strive to get goals.
This way, Leeds United would be safest.
Albertini kept pacing back and forth on the sidelines, looking very anxious and nervous, as the Leeds United team was being bombarded by a barrage of artillery fire on the pitch.
Very dangerous!
No, Liverpool are attacking again!
With a bang, midfielder Steven Gerrard slanted the ball into the box and Liverpool full-back Fabio Aurelio rushed forward. However, Leeds United defender Lichtsteiner was incredibly impressive. He pounced on a sliding shovel in time to shovel the football out of the sidelines.
It’s dangerous this time. If we let the football pass, Leeds United will be in real danger.
On the sidelines, Liverpool got the sidelines.
Aurelio immediately threw the sideline ball out. The ball flew to Dirk Kuyt’s feet. Kuyt quickly passed the ball to the center. Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres went two-by-one in the middle and shot from a distance of 30 meters from the goal!
With a bang, the football flew out at high speed, and then slid slightly out of the goal.
Gerrard put his hands on his head, feeling extremely regretful. He was almost there!
Liverpool are in a very good situation, threatening Leeds United’s goal so often that the hearts of Leeds United fans are about to jump out of their throats.
Rafael Benitez is very satisfied with the situation and now he is my Liverpool players who can turn the advantage into glory as soon as possible so that Liverpool can win.
However, Benitez is paying close attention to Albertini on the sidelines.
Albertini really couldn’t hold his breath anymore. He paced back and forth anxiously on the sidelines, looking very nervous and helpless!
Benitez was stunned. Why was Albertini in such a hurry, not Zhong Cheng? Zhong Cheng sat on the bench peacefully. Why didn’t he react at all?
This was unreasonable!
At this time, even if Zhong Cheng wasn’t in a hurry, he should immediately stand up and know about the Leeds United team. He should modify the tactics and improve the team’s tactics. Why didn’t he do anything at this time?
Could it be that it was Albertini, not Zhong Cheng, who really commanded the team in this match?
Benitez was stunned at the thought. Does Zhong Chengzhen dare to be so bold? Did he really leave the game entirely to Albertini?
If he were to encounter such a situation, he would definitely immediately regain control of the match. He would personally lead the team towards victory in this match!
Benitez looked thoughtfully at Zhong Cheng and then turned to look inside the stadium.
If that’s true, Benitez is more confident in the game. As long as it wasn’t Zhong Cheng, Liverpool would definitely win this match!
Don’t blame me, Rafael Benitez, since you don’t have any last-minute moves from Liverpool.
Rafael Benitez waved his hand and signaled for Liverpool’s players to press down.
Yes, Liverpool launched their final attack!
The danger to Leeds United came at this time, and the Leeds United fans were so nervous that they were almost speechless.
At this moment, Liverpool’s attack on the pitch came again.
It was Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina who kicked the ball into Leeds United’s half. Fernando Torres jumped high and headed straight for Steven Gerrard. Gerrard wanted to keep shooting the ball, but unfortunately, Hedilla was a little bit ahead of him with a sliding shovel, destroying the football.
The football rolled at M’Bia’s feet and he immediately passed it to Cristiano Ronaldo, who was checking on the winger.
Counterattack, Leeds United’s counterattack!
The Liverpool fans’ hearts tightened when they saw this. It was dangerous!
At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo saw full-back Aurelio save. He scored a goal, but Aurelio could tell that the ball was protected by Aurelio. Leeds United’s counter-attack was over.
The Liverpool side quickly threw out the sideline ball. After three or two kicks, the winger Babel suddenly jammed the ball straight into Insua.
Yes, the Liverpool team has completed the substitution at this time, the quicker Babel has replaced Riera, the Liverpool team is going to continue to strengthen the offense ah!
Winger Insua was also very fast as he suddenly pushed the ball out and it rolled between the legs of Leeds United full-back Patrick Aver. Insua moved forward quickly and caught up to the football. He was just about to swing his leg when Patrick Aver slid over!
Insua immediately pulled the ball backwards, swinging it past Aver, who was shoveling at him. Insua waited for Aver to pull the ball. After shaking the Aver pull, he immediately slammed the ball into the middle of the road and then directly shot towards the center of Leeds United.
Fernando Torres rushed towards the Leeds United box, then suddenly stopped and pushed out of the box, giving the Leeds United defenders a shake.
The Leeds United defenders were really fooled. The Leeds United fans were terrified, all of them crazily spreading forward, pouncing on Fernando Torres and sticking their guard up.
It was at this moment that Insua, who was on the side, suddenly got up and crossed!
Instead of Fernando Torres, who was lying in ambush on the line, the football flew into the depths of Leeds United’s box.
All the Leeds United players on the scene were shocked and nervous. As they lunged at Fernando Torres, Liverpool’s Dirk Kuyt stabbed into the deepest part of the Leeds United box.
The ball was passed to Kuyt, who suddenly moved forward. Kuyt rushed to his best position and waited for the football to fly over.
All the Leeds United players raised their right hands, signaling that the referee, Liverpool’s Dirk Kuyt, was offside.
However, the referee and linesman did not say that this was a good goal!
This was an excellent opportunity!
All the Liverpool fans roared happily as the goal equalised and all Liverpool shouted Dirk Kuyt’s name neatly.
Kuyt looked at the flying football and didn’t stop. Instead, he swung his leg at the soccer ball and fired a volley, not giving the Leeds United defenders a chance to make up for it.
With a bang, Kuyt struck the ball firmly and it flew towards Leeds United’s goal at high speed.
