493 The One Who Ended the Match Was Actually Him
The half-time game is over and all the Liverpool fans have yet to come to their senses.
This half was a terrible one.
The Liverpool man was beaten by a man in the half.
Yes, the same man, the damned man, the damned door-God!
Yes, at this time, Liverpool fans are calling their opponents goalkeepers. They are really conquered by that man.
That person was Leeds United’s goalkeeper, Zhong Zheng!
Now, when Liverpool fans see Zhong Zheng, their legs unconsciously tremble and their hearts tremble.
Zhong Zheng this fellow was simply a nemesis that God had arranged for them. In a recent game, Zhong Zheng had just missed their first three rounds in a penalty shoot-out. Now, Zhong Zheng had saved Liverpool’s goal many times in this half-time match.
In the eyes of Liverpool fans, Zhong Zheng is an octopus, as long as he is in front of the goal, Liverpool will not be able to break the goal.
Zhong Zheng stood in front of them like a god.
The Liverpool man felt a chill run down his spine.
At the moment, the Liverpool man is struggling to regain his senses and is worried about the second half of the game. What kind of method were they going to use to break through the gate guarded by Zhong Zheng?
Liverpool fans really haven’t thought of a way. Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has no choice but to give his players some confidence and encouragement. Don’t be affected by Zhong Zheng, kick him properly, kick him seriously.
The confidence of the Liverpool players has really been undermined. Today’s Zhong Zheng seems to be unbeatable.
Although Benitez gave them encouragement, their spirits were still somewhat low. Steven Gerrard was the only one confident enough to keep encouraging his teammates.
However, the Liverpool players who have returned to the pitch are still lacking in spirit.
On the other hand, Leeds United were in good spirits.
During the half-time break, Zhong Cheng reminded the Leeds United players to pay attention to defense and counterattack in the second half. The Liverpool players must have been affected by the first half, the second half should be like sleepwalking, as long as they seize the opportunity.
Very quickly, the players from both sides returned to the field and the second half of the match began immediately.
Zhong Cheng stood on the sidelines with a relaxed expression. Leeds United should be able to win this match. The momentum of the Liverpool players was gone. How could they play this match?
However, Zhong Cheng did not let down his guard. The Liverpool players did not seem to be in a good condition in this match. For example, Ribery had wasted many chances in the first half.
At the beginning of the second half, Ribery wasted another great opportunity.
Modric picked up Edison Cavani’s pass after the break and found the gap. He sent the ball to the left wing with a diagonal pass. The ball was really easy for Ribery and a great opportunity.
As long as Ribery carried the football over, he would be able to slash it one-on-one.
Liverpool fans jumped in fright, but Ribery let them off.
Modric’s pass wasn’t tricky and should have been easy to catch, but Ribery, who was in poor condition, forced the ball to roll under his feet, exposing the sidelines.
Ribery himself was shocked that he didn’t catch such an easy catch.
And this is a very, very good chance, a great chance to break the deadlock. However, he did not grasp the opportunity and let the football roll under his feet.
Ribery immediately covered his face with both of his hands, feeling rather shameless.
Ribery took a deep breath and extended his hand to Modric, signaling that the ball was his mistake and that he had failed Modric’s excellent pass.
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng immediately sighed and shook his head helplessly.
“Holy shit, this ball can even leak out. Frank is not in his condition today!” Rogers widened his eyes and said in disbelief.
Zhong Cheng also shook his head. This fellow Ribery’s World Cup sequelae were very serious.
Rogers immediately asked, “Boss, are we going to replace Frank? It’s useless for him to continue kicking like this.”
Zhong Cheng also had this thought in his heart, but he thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Give him another fifteen minutes. If he hasn’t changed yet, replace him.”
Rogers nodded. They still had to consider Ribery’s mood.
Zhong Cheng suddenly turned to Rogers and said, “Let Shao warm up. I think he will have a chance to play soon!”
Rogers was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded and said, “Got it, I’m going!”
Rogers immediately went to the bench and called Shao Jiayi.
On the pitch, Leeds United goalkeeper Zhong Zheng once again showed off his superb skill and perfect condition. Gerrard’s one-step position in the forbidden area was unguarded. He swung his heavy cannon and shot from a very tricky angle. It was almost a perfect shot.
Everyone at the scene thought that the bell warrior could no longer pounce. This was definitely a goal.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez was so excited that he jumped up.
However, the ball was still unable to escape Zhong Zheng’s palm. He leapt sideways to save the football from the bottom line.
When they saw the ball being thrown out, Steven Gerrard, who refused to admit defeat and was filled with fighting spirit, was a little disheartened. They were simply unable to break through Leeds United’s goal in this match.
On the sidelines, Benitez’s entire body was chilling!
Rafael Benitez was also aware of this terrible problem. They had no way to break through Zhong Zheng’s defensive door in this match.
At the scene, all the hormones in the bodies of the Leeds United fans were activated. All of them were screaming crazily and shouting Zhong Zheng’s name. At this moment, Zhong Zheng was like a heavenly deity. Everyone worshipped him.
At this moment, everyone knew just how powerful Zhong Zheng was. If such a person could not become England’s number one national goal, then the England national team would be as black as ashes.
Zhong Zheng’s condition was really good. It would be good if he could give Ribery a bit of his condition. Otherwise, Leeds United wouldn’t have played such a difficult game.
In this match, Ribery was completely out of form, while Edison Cavani played more like a defensive front-half. There was no chance of shooting, let alone scoring. Luca Toni, however, was heavily guarded today and was often wrapped up. He rarely had a chance to shoot. But he played many times and left the chance to his teammates, but Ribery and the others didn’t grasp it.
Luca Toni did well, but he was just short of shooting.
In this match, the two people who performed well in the previous match were Joaquin and Modric, who were in good condition. However, Hua Jin rarely cut inside. Almost all of them created some threats from the side, but there were no known threats.
Modric had a few good long-range shots, but Reina’s goal-line skills were excellent and he kept the football out of the game.
That’s what the Leeds United attackers have done so far today.
Leeds United are having a hard time scoring goals, with many believing the game should end in a draw because neither side can break through the opponents’ door.
At this moment, the Leeds United side had changed players.
Zhong Cheng could not help but make a substitution five minutes earlier. He had used Shao Jiayi, who had been introduced in the summer, to replace Ribery, who was in a terrible state.
Ribery knew that his condition was very bad. When he saw that he was replaced, he wasn’t surprised at all. He wasn’t in the mood either. He had found all of this himself.
After Ribery and Shao Jiayi hugged each other, they ran back to the bench.
The game is going on, and time is running out.
Both sides had chances in the game, but the Liverpool man was getting more and more helpless and desperate. Because today, Zhong Zheng was already divine, completely sealed. It was as if there were no balls that he could not pounce on.
Just now, Liverpool’s Arne Lithur fired a heavy kick at the goal.
The soccer ball hit Compani’s foot in the restricted area and changed directions, flying in another direction towards the goal.
However, even with such a goal, Zhong Zheng still threw the football away.
Zhong Zheng could even pounce on such an unexpected ball, what else could he not do?
The ball was very dangerous, and after the change of direction, the football was still very fast. However, Zhong Zheng’s second reaction was really too fast, and his body’s reaction was also very fast. He threw the football out and tried his best to turn the tide.
At this point, the Liverpool man had almost given up on attacking.
Looks like this game is a draw, they will take a point away from the road.
But what they didn’t expect was that five minutes later, after Edison Cavani intercepted the ball, Xabi Alonso seemed to have kicked Edison Cavani from behind and fell to the ground in retaliation.
This ball can’t let Edison Cavani continue to carry the ball forward. It’s just a one-shot.
Xabi Alonso was supposed to get a red card for the foul, but the referee went soft and only gave Xabi Alonso a yellow card, which made Leeds United fans very unhappy. However, the referee had already made his decision, so they had no choice but to accept it.
Leeds United got a direct free-kick from a decent front-court position. The ball was slightly lower on the right and was more suitable for left-footed players to serve.
Shao Jiayi and Modric, who were on the bench, stood in front of the football.
Shao Jiayi and Modric stood in front of the football, one on the left and one on the right. Shao Jiayi’s left foot was more suitable for her to serve. He could directly kick the instep of his foot and circle the upper corner of the goal.
However, Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina inwardly judged that Modric should be in charge of the ball, Shao Jiayi is just a cover.
After all, Shao Jiayi is a newcomer and a Chinese player. Modric was the brain of the Leeds United midfielder and had a very good long-range shot and a free-kick that deserved to be hosted by Modric.
After the referee’s whistle sounded, Modric took a deep breath and prepared to run.
At this moment, Shao Jiayi suddenly ran up and ran out first, running towards the football. However, in Lei Na’s eyes, this was just a cover. He believed that it was absolutely impossible for Shao Jiayi to be the one who sent it.
But in the next moment, Reina’s eyes widened as he stared at the flying football in disbelief.
Yes, Shao Jiayi’s golden left foot struck the football fiercely. The football flew up quickly. The high-speed delivery spun and turned into a beautiful arc, directly bypassing the human wall, quickly flying towards the upper corner of the goal.
Reina, who was in front of the goal, had completely misjudged and had no reaction at all.
Moreover, the ball was so fast that Reina had no time to react. He could only turn his head and watch the football draw a perfect arc, flying directly towards the upper corner of the goal.
The football flew straight into the goal from the bottom edge of the crossing between the goal and the post.
Absolutely a dead end!
Leeds United defeated visiting Liverpool 1-0 with this goal.
