It's getting closer!
We're very close!
Kompany had already spotted the ball, which was within reach. In his plan, all he had to do was jump up and flick the ball into the air with a small kick, and the defense would be a success!
But things didn't go as he had imagined.
The person jumped a second ago, but their legs haven't even lifted yet.
In his field of vision, Kaká, who had been harassed by Silva, suddenly stuck out his head and gently tapped the football that was falling from the air forward, then hid his whole body backward.
The next second, Kompany jumped up and collided squarely with Silva.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kaká slip past the two men who had fallen to the ground and quickly catch up with the ball that had rolled to the penalty spot!
Ignoring the pain, Kompany got up immediately after landing, wanting to chase after Kaká.
But it was too late. Kaka, who had caught up with the ball, didn't even stop it. Facing the hastily rushing Schmeichel, he curled the ball with his right foot, and the ball rolled into the net, just past Schmeichel's left hand, which was bent over to make a save!
1-3, AC Milan almost killed the game!
When the ball flew into the goal, Elland Road fell into an extremely brief silence.
But instead of the expected boos, a round of applause erupted from the stands at Elland Road. Standing on the sidelines, Li Shiguang knew that Kaka's brilliant performance had completely captivated the more than 50,000 fans at Elland Road!
····
Moreover, in the Sky Sports studio, Jon and Lineker were also impressed by Kaká's series of brilliant breakthroughs.
"Kaka!! An outrageous performance beyond words!! He used his explosive power to wreak havoc on Leeds United's defense!!" After witnessing Kaka's incredible breakthrough, Jon no longer cared that Leeds United was about to lose this Champions League quarter-final match. He stood up and shouted, "Assists, playmaking, breakthroughs, goals! What can't he do! Kaka!!! He is truly the Son of God on the football field!"
"That was brilliant! That was brilliant! Kaka completely crushed Leeds United's hopes of reaching the Champions League semi-finals this season! Who said AC Milan was weak this year? Perhaps they were affected by some off-field factors, but they have Kaka, who can carry this aging team step by step forward!!"
Hearing Jon's passionate commentary and praise, even though he was unwilling, Lineker had to admit that Leeds United and Lee Time had been defeated by Kaká tonight.
"Sigh..." He sighed, a bitter smile plastered on his face. "Although I don't want to admit it, the game isn't over yet, but judging from the current situation, it's almost impossible for Leeds United to equalize or even turn the game around. Back at home, they were thrashed by Kaká. Today's game was an extreme display of individual heroism!"
····
"Don't give up! The game isn't over yet. Have you forgotten what I told you at halftime? I can accept losing, and the fans can accept losing, but we can't accept losing with regret! Even if we lose, we should fight until the last second!" Seeing his players looking dejected, Li Shiguang was still standing on the sidelines, shouting at them with all his might, even though he knew the game was already over.
Perhaps influenced by him, Kompany, as the team captain, also started clapping loudly to encourage his teammates to cheer up!
Even so, after Ibrahimovic restarted the game, Leeds United, already reeling from Kaká's goal, failed to mount any effective attacks.
After five minutes of added time, the referee blew the final whistle to end the match.
Lee Shih-kuo's first Champions League campaign after taking over Leeds United has also come to an end!
After the whistle blew, the young Leeds United players almost all collapsed to the ground. Sun Jihai and Silva, who had been blaming themselves after Kaká broke through and scored, sat on the grass, burying their heads between their legs, their whole bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, always known for his arrogance, stood rooted to the spot, hands on his hips, head tilted back, gazing at the sky. He had given it his all, helping his team pull one back early in the second half, but Kaká's last-minute winner rendered all their efforts futile, and his own goal rendered meaningless...
Li Shiguang was also very sad.
He had also fantasized countless nights about leading Leeds United to the highest podium in Europe.
I've fantasized about the joy of being tossed high into the air by the players to celebrate a victory.
But all of this was exposed by Kaka that night.
The only saving grace is that this seemingly invincible "Son of God" will belong to Leeds United starting next season!
····
"plum!"
Suddenly, a hand landed on Li Shiguang's shoulder as he was about to walk onto the field to comfort his teammates. Turning around, he saw Ancelotti walking up to him with a gentle smile.
That's just how this old man is. Even if you lose a match to him, his harmless demeanor makes it impossible for you to get angry!
"Carlo, congratulations." Li Shiguang smiled wryly as he shook Ancelotti's outstretched hand.
"Thank you, I was just lucky tonight," Ancelotti said modestly.
“Luck is also part of strength, Carlo.” After saying that, Li Shiguang pointed at Kaká and joked, “Besides, having a player like that, your statement about good luck makes me feel very offended, hahaha.”
Following the direction Li Shiguang pointed, Ancelotti also saw his beloved disciple. He smiled with satisfaction: "Of course! Kaka's performance was the key to AC Milan's victory tonight. I am very fortunate to have a player like him."
Damn it!?
Are you jealous of me?
You started feeling pretty good about yourself while we were chatting, didn't you?
Seeing Ancelotti calmly praise Kaká for eliminating Leeds United, Li Shiguang, who was still harboring some resentment, suddenly felt uncomfortable.
However, he wasn't a good person either. He rolled his eyes and saw Ancelotti turn his head to look at him again.
Li Shiguang's lips curled into his signature wicked smile as he calmly said, "Fortunately, starting next season, this sense of relief will be mine."
Ancelotti: ? ? ? ?
