The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1431
1431 Tense Overtime
Aiya!
Leeds United fans sighed at the new Wembley Stadium.
In the final moments, Leeds United had a very, very good chance! Cristiano Ronaldo’s header was just a little short and they had the chance to kill.
Unfortunately, this header was still a bit short of the goal!
Leeds United missed their best chance to kill!
The Chelsea fans instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn’t a big mistake.
But the Chelsea players were very dissatisfied, especially John Terry, who rushed straight to the referee, shouting at the referee and expressing his dissatisfaction.
Why didn’t he play for the last time and let himself stand on the sidelines? Are you trying to help the Leeds win?
John Terry was very angry and his words were a little fierce.
However, the referee held back and did not show John Terry a second yellow card. Otherwise, John Terry would have been expelled from the field.
Fortunately, the Chelsea players held on to John Terry and did not continue to provoke the referee. Otherwise, John Terry would really be finished.
Although the regular time was over now, the match was not over.
Three to three, the two sides were evenly matched!
The draw led to the final overtime game between the players on both sides. Yes, this game is going to be an overtime game to compete for the championship. If both sides failed to break through each other’s goal in overtime, they would have entered a brutal penalty shoot-out without deciding between the winner and the loser.
If we really enter the penalty shoot-out, then the chelsea side has no chance of winning!
Because Hilario’s condition today was really too bad. He felt that he was still dumbfounded and hadn’t woken up yet.
At this moment, Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti made a prompt decision to replace the unfit Hilario with the young Turnbull.
Carlo Ancelotti is really bold to change goalkeepers twice in one game. It was really shocking to use both substitution spots for goalkeeper positions.
But now Chelsea fans are giving Carlo Ancelotti thunderous applause. They applauded Carlo Ancelotti for his decisiveness and courage, which most people would not dare to do.
Leeds United fans are naturally mocking Carlo Ancelotti crazily. It’s useless for you to do that. Turnbull is more useless than Hilario.
Turnbull’s face was ashen and his mood was terrible!
He hadn’t even played yet, and it was truly too hurtful for these fellows to slander him like this. Turnbull was ruthless in his heart. He had to make the damned Leeds United pay the price and let them see how powerful Turnbull was.
After the end of the match, it should be directly into overtime, and there is no rest time. However, the referee was very considerate and gave the two sides five minutes to rest and replenish their water.
During these five minutes, the coaches of both sides talked about the players of both sides gathering together, explaining the things that should be paid attention to in overtime and reminding the players of the loopholes in each other.
At this time, there is no need to emphasize any tactics, it is to ensure that he does not concede the ball, and then there is a chance to score goals. Therefore, he only emphasized these two points to prepare the players.
Soon, five minutes of rest had passed, and the players on both sides were ready to walk back to the court to start the overtime game.
“Alright, spectators, welcome back. This season’s FA Cup game has been a twist and turns. Now that the two sides have drawn 3-3, both sides are about to enter overtime!” Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
“There are no golden balls or silver balls in this overtime. Both sides must play for a total of 30 minutes in the first and second half. If the winner is decided in these 30 minutes, then the winner will win. If the two sides continue to draw, the two sides will enter a brutal penalty shoot-out!” Eddie Gray said immediately.
Carlo Ancelotti should be the most nervous.
He doesn’t know if Chelsea are going to go to a penalty shoot-out or not!
To be honest, it is difficult for Chelsea to win in overtime. But could Turnbull make it into the penalty shoot-out? This is another unknown, so Carlo Ancelotti is more conflicted.
Of course, Zhong Cheng was hoping that Leeds United could resolve the battle in the shortest amount of time possible so that they could save their fitness for the Champions League final.
However, Zhong Cheng was not afraid of entering the penalty shoot-out because they had a bell in front of their door. Moreover, goalkeeper Turnbull was young and had just entered the field. It was hard to say whether he had entered or not.
Therefore, Zhong Cheng felt that the chances of Leeds United winning this match were very, very high.
At this moment, the referee of this match blew the whistle for the start of overtime.
The first to kick off was Chelsea Football Club, which pushed football forward quickly. Didier Drogba then shot from a distance of 30 metres from the goal. With a boom, the football whistled past and flew out of the bar.
The Chelsea fans at the scene felt a wave of regret, but it was a pity.
If the goal was scored, the situation would be completely different. The Chelsea team is also able to take the initiative in their own hands, can win this match.
Of course, the Chelsea man took it for granted.
The Leeds United players were a little surprised. They did not expect the Chelsea players to launch a fierce attack at the start. Could it be that Chelsea are going to change their tactics and fight behind their backs?
Very quickly, the Leeds Alliance realized that they were mistaken.
Now the Chelsea men are really heartless, they are a bit unable to attack, their fitness problems. At this time, the Leeds United’s strong physical strength showed the advantage, began to threaten the Chelsea team’s goal frequently.
Of course, the Chelsea players are defending well at this time. Right now, they could be said to be a city of common aspirations, and they had been frantically defending.
With a bang, Cristiano Ronaldo slanted the ball to the other side. After Gareth Bale caught the ball, he suddenly crossed and Levandovsky, who was in the middle, headed straight at John Terry.
The football whistled past and slid slightly.
After John Terry landed on the ground, he frowned. His waist was in pain!
Yes, John Terry was really injured at the end of the game’s regular time, and now he looks a little more serious. However, John Terry did not give up and did not choose to end up because the Chelsea man no longer has a place for substitution and he has to withstand it.
However, defending Levandovsky was a bit difficult now.
Levandowski saw this and frequently signaled Leeds United to pass the football to him to bully John Terry.
Soon, everyone else saw the problem and stared at John Terry.
Carlo Ancelotti, in particular, frowned. How could Chelsea play this game if John Terry got injured again?
The Chelsea fans at the scene were very nervous, all of them staring at the stadium in horror, their hearts filled with worry. What about this match?
It was at this moment that Cristiano Ronaldo, who was on the wing, crossed again. With a bang, the football flew into Chelsea’s restricted area, heading towards Levandovsky’s head.
“Shameless, damn Lizzie, you guys are too shameless. You bunch of trash, hurry up and die!” The Chelsea fans at the scene were flushed red as they frantically attacked the Leeds United. This group of fellows was too shameless.
However, the Leeds United didn’t care about this at all and attacked crazily.
Levandowski leapt up high, once again pressing down on John Terry to head the goal.
With a bang, the football flew towards Chelsea’s goal and saw that the football was about to fly into the goal. Everyone at Chelsea was dumbfounded and gave up.
However, at this moment, one of them landed horizontally in front of the football and blocked the football with a slap.
When the football fell, Alex immediately threw the football out with a big foot. The football whistled out and flew out of the sidelines. The Chelsea man successfully cleared the siege.
The Chelsea crowd immediately gave Turnbull a thunderous round of applause.
Turnbull saved the Chelsea man at the most critical moment. If it weren’t for him, the Chelsea man would have been finished.
Carlo Ancelotti breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this fellow was in good condition. Otherwise, Chelsea will die in the sky.
Dudududu! The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half of overtime. The score was still three to three. However, Leeds United have an absolute advantage, as if they are going to score a goal in the next moment. The Chelsea man is very worried.
Soon, the second half of the overtime game between the two sides began, but at this time, the Leeds United offense also slowed down a bit. Because Leeds United’s physical strength was almost at the node, they did not dare to charge frantically, because they also had to defend.
So the second half of the overtime game looked much calmer and did not go through as much of a storm as everyone had imagined.
However, in the 1011th minute of overtime, Leeds United’s Mesut Özil had a very good chance in the restricted area. He aimed at the upper right corner of the goal. He directly shot out with a kick and the football whistled out, flying straight to the dead end.
With a bang, John Terry jumped up high and blocked the football with his body.
The football hit the waist again, and John Terry took a deep breath and fell hard on the turf, unable to get up again. John Terry was in a lot of pain, but he still wanted to stand up and hold on, but he really couldn’t hold on.
The Chelsea fans were touched, but none of them wanted anything to happen to John Terry. They all hoped that John Terry would hurry up and receive treatment and stop trying to be brave.
John Terry did not return to the pitch in the end, leaving only 10 Chelsea players available for the swap. The Chelsea man has no chance of attacking, and the Leeds United have seen the opportunity come, attacking frantically and attacking Chelsea.
It was a huge problem for the Chelsea men and they almost broke through the goal. However, Chelsea also managed to get a good counter-attack. Unfortunately, Drogba’s shot was caught by Zhong Zheng.
Didier Drogba doesn’t have much strength at the moment. If it were a normal ball, he would definitely have scored.
Dudududu, this match blew the whistle at the end of the overtime match.
