The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1296
1296 With Confidence, Victory Is in Hand
One to two, less than five minutes into the second half, the La Plata college team scored a goal.
This was beyond the expectations of many people.
Everyone thought the La Plata college team was finished!
No one would have thought that after half the match, the other party would be so tough. He had just given Leeds United a muffled blow.
But for the neutral fans, it would be a good game.
Of course, for the La Plata College players, this was their chance. They were very excited, very excited about their chance to win against Zurich.
The Leeds United players did not react too motivatedly.
The goal was an accident for the Leeds United. If it wasn’t for the change of direction, the goal wouldn’t have reached the Leeds United goal.
Zhong Zheng was so powerful, who could break through his goal?
As long as Zhong Zheng was present, the La Plata College students would not even try to break through Leeds United’s goal. The winner of this match was still Leeds United.
At this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo could not sit on the bench.
He came to Zhong Cheng’s side and said, “Boss, let me play. I’m fine now, and I want to stay in shape through the game!”
Zhong Cheng turned to look at Cristiano Ronaldo and asked, “Is your injury really alright? We can win this match!”
Cristiano Ronaldo said, “Yes, it’s fine!”
After a pause, Cristiano Ronaldo continued: “Yes, I don’t doubt that we will win this game, but I hope to get back on track because we will be back in Leeds soon to play in the Premier League!”
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly. Cristiano Ronaldo was right.
Zhong Cheng said directly, “Alright, let’s go warm up. We’ll be back in five minutes!”
Cristiano Ronaldo nodded slightly to Zhong Cheng, then immediately took off his coat and ran to the sidelines to warm up.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s warm-up attracted the attention of everyone present.
The cameras on the sidelines were all aimed at Cristiano Ronaldo.
Sabella also saw Cristiano Ronaldo warming up. His heart tightened. If Cristiano Ronaldo came out, the game would be even more difficult!
It was at this moment that Sabella reminded the La Plata undergraduates to keep attacking and try to level the score before Cristiano Ronaldo came on.
The players of the La Plata University team were also very nervous. They attacked crazily and surrounded each other.
Leeds United’s defensive line is very tight, all the players are desperate to defend.
The attack of the La Plata undergraduates was really too fierce. The advantage in numbers was too great when the entire line was pressed down.
At this time, there were too many people in the restricted area of Leeds United.
All of a sudden, Veron swept his leg diagonally to the side of the box, sweeping the ball straight towards Richard Walker’s right arm.
It was on purpose by Veron, who deliberately sent the football directly to Kyle Walker’s arm.
At this time, Kyle Walker’s inexperience was exposed again. If he put his arm on his body or carried it behind his back at this time, he would definitely not be punished with a penalty. But at this time, his arms were open, and it was too late to retract them.
Penalties were awarded by the referee.
Sabella was very excited and excited. She jumped up from the sidelines and celebrated crazily.
Kyle Walker was very annoyed. He immediately rushed to the referee and explained to the referee that he did not intentionally want a handball. It was passed by Veron who deliberately aimed at his right arm. It was not a penalty.
Unfortunately, the referee simply ignored it and directly awarded a penalty.
Kyle Walker was extremely depressed and unconvinced.
However, the penalty was awarded on the basis that they had no other choice but to accept it.
Veron walked to the penalty spot and was surprised that he could only punish himself for the goal.
Veron was very experienced. Facing such a shocking goalkeeper like Zhong Zheng, his expression did not change and his heart did not beat. After hearing the whistle, he gave the soccer ball a clever angle and sent it into Leeds United’s goal.
Zhong Zheng had judged the right direction, and the save was very swift. Unfortunately, the angle of the ball was too diabolical.
The La Plata college team equalized 2-2.
Sabella was very excited, very excited. But he was also very worried because Cristiano Ronaldo was on the side of Leeds United.
At the same time, Sabella was very clear that there would be a lack of unity of thought on the part of the La Plata college team. Yes, that was what he was most worried about.
When they were lagging behind, everyone must have the same idea, and that was to attack ferociously.
But now that it’s even, the players may not have the same idea. Some people may want to take advantage of the victory to chase after him, strive to score another goal, reverse the score and win the game. Others thought that Leeds United were strong enough to level the score, so they should defend at this time to ensure that they were evenly matched and then go straight to the penalty shootout.
Yes, disunity of mind is the biggest problem.
In fact, Sabella was hesitating whether to attack or defend.
In terms of offense, the La Plata College students were in good condition and were full of offensive power. But that leaves a big hole in the defense, Leeds United are good at counterattacking, and they’re in Cristiano Ronaldo’s line. If they keep attacking, they’ll probably explode.
Defensively, Sabella felt that it was a pity that they were in a very, very good condition. If they continued to attack, they might really have a chance to win against Zionist United.
What exactly should we do?
Sabella was no longer as decisive as before.
However, Sabella knew very well that the more time it was, the more prompt it was to make a decision.
Hesitation was bound to be a big deal, so he didn’t think too much about it. Sabella gave the order to attack according to the first thought in her mind!
Continue attacking!
The Argentines are most familiar with offense in football. They just love offense. Moreover, his current condition was so good that not attacking was simply a waste, a huge waste.
To tell the truth, Sabella still wanted to win, desperately. He thought this was their chance to attack the La Plata college team.
The La Plata undergraduate continued to attack crazily, surrounding Leeds United’s goal.
To be honest, this has caused a lot of trouble for Leeds United’s defense. Leeds United’s goal is in jeopardy. However, at this time, the Leeds United players were still tenaciously defending, earnestly desperately defending.
“Intercept, intercept, the other side is going to pass!” Kong Pani immediately shouted loudly.
“Go up and seal one. Fire from afar!” David Louis roared.
“Mine, this person is mine. Leave him to me!” Sammy Hedilla rushed out at top speed, a slippery shovel.
“Stop him! Put him on top! Don’t give him room to shoot!” Zhong Zheng roared loudly.
…
During this time, the Leeds United players were defending with all their might. As if their attacks were gone, the La Plata college team was in full possession, and Leeds United were in danger.
The Leeds United fans were very nervous, but Zhong Cheng was still sitting on the Diaoyutai without any reaction. Just sitting there quietly made Sabella’s mind paste. What exactly was Madman Loria doing?
Sabella really did not understand at all, did she not understand what Zhong Cheng was thinking?
It was at this moment that Veron sent out a very exquisite straight shot. The La Plata University team was going to turn the tables and overtake the score.
Boselli was very excited as he rushed out and rushed towards the football.
However, Zhong Zheng quickly rushed out and his entire body slid over. He took the lead and hugged the football in his arms. Zhong Zheng, who was lying on the ground, did not get up and immediately threw the football to the side. Patrick Aver, who was standing beside him, passed the football to the front court with a long, big foot.
Counterattack, Leeds United counterattack!
Sabella’s hair stood on end and she was so frightened that she almost couldn’t help but scream.
Because Sabella saw Cristiano Ronaldo running wildly on the side, rushing forward at top speed, heading in the direction of the soccer ball falling.
All the La Plata college fans felt despair.
Because the La Plata college team attacked the whole half of the game, including the back line. Patrick Aver was ambushed behind the center line when Cristiano Ronaldo pulled the long ball, so there was no offside.
“Single blade, Cristiano Ronaldo single blade!” Eddie Gray was very, very excited.
All Leeds United fans howled in excitement, cheering for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Patrick Aver’s long pass was also very accurate. He didn’t give the goalkeeper of the La Plata University team a chance at all. The football was easily removed by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Behind Cristiano Ronaldo were the frantic figures of the La Plata college players, who were running for their lives. They clenched their teeth and tried their best, but they were getting further and further away from Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo is really fast.
The La Plata college goalkeeper rushed out, frantically rushing out, before Cristiano Ronaldo could unload the football, trying to clear it before Cristiano Ronaldo could.
Unfortunately, he was thinking too much!
Seeing La Plata goalkeeper Alvarez and Cristiano Ronaldo rush out without hesitation, Cristiano Ronaldo kicked the ball off the ground.
With a bang, Cristiano Ronaldo hit the bottom of the football. The football flew up and down to the front court. Then, it quickly fell to the empty door of the La Plata University team.
At this moment, Alvarez was extremely regretful, regretting why he had attacked so early.
At this moment, Alvarez had no chance but to watch the football fall into the empty door of the La Plata college team.
Three to two!
