628 The Leeds Left King Is Back
“Luca Tony header!” Eddie Gray roared.
The Liverpool fans were all shocked and sweating profusely, their hearts filled with unease.
Pa!
Reina stretched out his arm and sent the ball flying out of the baseline,
“Wow! Reina! A fantastic save, stunning performance. Is today Reina’s birthday? It was really fast. Luca Tony’s header went straight to the corner. Beautiful, really beautiful!” Mark Lawrenson exclaimed.
Liverpool fans heaved a sigh of relief and applauded.
However, Benitez’s face was as black as the bottom of a pan. The ball was too dangerous. Leeds United’s sneak attack in the second half was really close. Leeds United can’t be underestimated.
Benitez immediately turned to look at Zhong Cheng, only to see Zhong Cheng shook his head, obviously filled with regret. Benitez grinned coldly.
“Sure enough, he is a despicable assassin! He knows how to sneak attack, hmph!” Benitez is disdainful.
Corner kick. The referee punished the corner kick.
Gourcuff arrived at the corner and stood quietly. He lowered his head and looked at the football on the ground.
Leeds United players rushed into the Liverpool box. Compani and Pique were both in the box. The two of them stood together and were ready to participate in the corner kick.
The Liverpool man is very worried. The Leeds United have a few high points. These high headers are also very strong. This corner kick is also an important means for Leeds United to score. Liverpool’s first goal of the game came from a header and the Liverpool players took it seriously.
Benitez put his hands on his mouth and loudly shouted, “Defense, follow Pique, follow Pique!”
Yes, Benitez believes Pique is important.
Zhong Cheng stood quietly by the side of the field, his head lowered as he walked back and forth. It seemed that he did not pay much attention to the field, but in fact, his attention was focused on the field.
Du!
The referee whistled and the scene immediately became tense.
Hu, Gourcuff took a deep breath, and then he stamped his feet hard on the spot before rushing out. Two steps later, he rushed to the football, his left foot fiercely stabbed into the ground, like a steel nail firmly nailed to the turf, and his right foot swiftly swung towards the football.
Bang, his right foot hit the football, and the football soared into the air, rushing into the sky.
In the forbidden area, Pick quickly turned around and rushed to the back point, while Compani and Luca Tony continued to rush to the front point. Liverpool players rushed to the back, with manager Rafa Benitez demanding a close follow-up to Pique and Leeds United’s first goal being a late pass.
The back point was instantly packed, but the football flew forward.
“Ah, come on, Liverpool are in danger. Leeds United have a double-ghost knock on the door!” Mark Lawrenson immediately screamed.
Compani and Luca Tony both jumped up high at the same time, shook their heads fiercely, and smashed fiercely at the flying soccer ball.
With a bang, Luca Tony smashed into the ball from behind and shot towards Liverpool’s goal. Unfortunately, the ball was slightly out of the near post and landed on the net pole.
The net lever trembled and let out a wuwu wu wu sound.
Liverpool fans took a deep breath, and some even choked on the breath, coughing.
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng shook his head. This ball was a bit unlucky and didn’t score.
Goalball, Liverpool get the goalball.
This time, the ball finally fell to Liverpool’s feet. The Liverpool people were much more at ease and the rhythm of the game was about to be controlled by their Liverpool team’s feet.
After the goalball came out, Liverpool slowed down, not as fast as before. They kept the football firmly under their feet, first to relieve the pressure on the defence, and secondly to make Leeds United anxious.
Liverpool started to roll back in midfield, moving back and forth between Leeds United’s defensive lines.
A lot of people could tell that Liverpool were trying to slow down the game and they didn’t want to follow Leeds United’s lead. They wanted to control the rhythm under their feet and slowly wait for an opportunity.
Zhong Cheng looked at this quietly, not in any hurry, pacing back and forth on the sidelines, as if he had not been affected by the Liverpool tactics.
Benitez coldly snorted: “You just pretend, I see how long you can pretend?”
Liverpool were in possession of the ball, but Xabi Alonso’s pass to winger Luis Garcia was slightly bigger. It could also be said that Louis Garcia was a little lazy, running a little slower, and the football was cut off by Evra who was snatched up.
Zhong Cheng suddenly came to his senses and quickly rushed forward, widening his eyes.
Right now!
This was the moment he was waiting for!
The chance, the chance for Leeds United!
Blood gushed out of Zhong Cheng’s body. His entire body was like a furnace. Blood energy gushed out, his mind was hot, and his eyes were scarlet red!
Counter attack! Counter attack!
Evra, who had stolen the ball, kicked the ball forward and it quickly rolled towards Ribery, who was stuck in front of him. Ribery didn’t stop at all. The ball passed too well and caught up with him. He moved the football forward and merged it into his own rhythm. It was a seamless connection.
Leeds United fans gave Evra thunderous applause.
“Wow, it’s a great pass, Evra. It’s a great pass. It’s a great pass. This increased the speed of Leeds United’s counter-attack. No wonder Leeds United’s counter-attack was so fast. Looks like Mad Roja usually had high requirements for the small details of Leeds United players. That’s why he had such an efficient counter-attack. “Mad Roja sure is!” Cried Eddie Gray excitedly.
“Liverpool are in danger, very dangerous!” Mark Lawrenson said immediately.
Ribery didn’t speed up the dribble after catching the ball, but used his usual speed to drive the ball forward. However, even this speed was a bit fast for the Liverpool man and he was a bit scared.
After passing the ball, Aver did not stop at all. Instead, he accelerated abruptly and quickly moved forward along the sidelines to catch Ribery who was carrying the ball.
Aver pulled fast enough, and he didn’t stop at all. He just rushed forward and rushed towards the bottom line.
Liverpool winger Steve Finnan was about to lunge at Ribery. However, Aver suddenly pushed forward at high speed, causing great trouble. Seeing that Aver was about to rush over, Steve Finnan immediately gave up on his plan to pounce on Ribery and quickly retreated, following behind Aver who was on the edge of the road.
Because Steve Finnan was afraid that Ribery would throw a straight shot to the side. If that was the case, his defense would be completely empty, and he would be blown up by Aver, which would be dangerous.
So Steve Finnan stopped, turned around quickly, and followed Aver.
While doing this, Steve Finnan saw that Ribery was inclined to swing back. He was secretly delighted. He had made the right decision this time, so he really couldn’t be too rash.
Aver ignored it and rushed forward to the bottom line. Steve Finnan also turned around and followed Aver without giving Aver any space.
But when Steve Finnan saw Ribery’s movements, he couldn’t be happy.
Ribery suddenly shook his ankle and swiftly swung the football to the center. He directly cut in and shot the ball to the center.
“Wow! Beautiful. The cooperation between Aver and Ribery is really perfect. Steve Finnan was completely toyed with. Liverpool is in danger. Ribery is moving horizontally along the line of the restricted area. Someone has to go up and block him, otherwise it will be very dangerous!” Mark Lawrenson took a deep breath and exclaimed.
Liverpool fans were shocked and in danger.
“Stop him! Stop that damn trash!”
“Keep an eye on him! Shovel him! Destroy this trash!”
“Damn bastard, all you have to do is hit, hit, hit!”
Liverpool fans were terrified and immediately used these dirty and even vicious words to attack Ribery and put pressure on him.
On the sidelines, Rafael Benitez instantly jumped up as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He was very, very nervous, so nervous that he was covered in cold sweat.
Zhong Cheng’s eyes were fixed on the field, his face full of surprise.
“This is an excellent opportunity! Little fellow, shoot, shoot, shoot, what are you waiting for?” Zhong Cheng’s heart was filled with incomparable excitement as he furiously roared in his heart.
On the pitch, Liverpool centre-back Carragher saw Ribery dribble horizontally. He immediately rushed out of the box and lunged at Ribery, who was dribbling horizontally. His face was filled with killing intent, like a butcher.
The Leeds United fans took a deep breath and stared nervously at the pitch, worried about Ribery.
After Ribery saw Carragher’s movements, he immediately swung his leg and slammed into the football.
“Long shot, Ribery shot!” Eddie Gray jumped up in excitement and roared excitedly.
When Carragher saw this, he immediately leapt to his side and used his body to block the soccer ball that was about to shoot out.
“Wow! Carragher was tricked by Ribery for a fake move. It’s a hypothesis. Carragher was completely swallowed. Ribery is really amazing. The omnipotent Ribery came back last season. Who would dare to say that Ribery is a shooting star?” Eddie Gray roared excitedly.
Carragher’s eyes were wide open, his heart filled with unwillingness and humiliation!
Holy shit, I was actually deceived by this damn brat! How embarrassing! How embarrassing!
Carragher was really embarrassed to see anyone at this moment. It was too embarrassing.
Seeing Carragher lunge out frantically, Ribery swung his leg and made a fake shot. He swung the soccer ball towards the middle of the road and sent Carragher flying.
The Leeds United fans were very excited and applauded to record this moment.
This was destined to be a stain on Carragher’s career, a stain that was thick and heavy!
After swaying past Carragher, Ribery heard a clear sound of surprise. However, Ribery did not care about that at all. His eyes were fixated on Liverpool’s goal.
Ribery discovered that Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina was standing too close to the post.
This was a good opportunity!
Ribery’s eyes lit up. He had just swung past Carragher and ignored Agger and Harvey Alonso, who were rushing up behind him. He swung his leg quickly and threw his right leg forward. The instep of his right foot ruthlessly rubbed the football.
With a bang, Ribery shot out with his instep!
“Shoot! Ribery Dou shoots the far corner!” Eddie Gray roared excitedly.
In front of the goal, Reina’s eyes narrowed, his heart filled with horror. He quickly moved sideways towards the middle. Originally, he wanted to move two steps horizontally, but it was already too late for him to move one step horizontally. Reina had no choice but to fly out immediately.
The arc of the ball was too beautiful. It was like a rainbow, gracefully circling around Reina who flew out and ornately spinning into the far corner of the goal!
