After completing the breakthrough, Kaka did not charge straight into the Arsenal penalty area.
Arsenal's formation tightened up considerably in those few minutes.
Apart from Gilberto Silva, who was beaten by himself, and Adebayor, who was positioned at the very front, almost all the other players were clustered within 30 meters of the goal.
If Kaka were to simply charge straight through, he would soon be surrounded and intercepted by 2-3 people.
So Kaka was running diagonally with the ball.
Meanwhile, as Kaka made a solo breakthrough, his teammates helped him create space.
Adriano and Ibrahimovic immediately moved into the penalty area, maintaining a line with Arsenal's two center-backs, preventing them from making any rash moves.
Bale and Alonso ran along the flanks towards the byline, maintaining a threat to the flanks of Arsenal's defense.
soon.
Kaka has already dribbled the ball into the 30-meter zone.
Arsenal also deployed personnel.
Fabregas and Hleb, who had returned to the backfield, moved up and positioned themselves on the left and right to pounce on Kaká.
You definitely can't get past them by force.
Kaka's mind raced. He saw Bale waving at him from the wing, so he quickly passed the ball to him and then slipped between Fabregas and Hleb to continue his run!
Bale didn't hold onto the ball either; seeing Kaká run into space, he immediately passed the ball back.
But as they got closer and closer to the goal...
Arsenal's defense is also becoming increasingly tight.
Kaka was at least 20 meters away from Arsenal's goal at this moment. He didn't think he could score by shooting directly, but Fabregas and Hleb, who had already turned around, were rushing towards him. If he hesitated for too long, they would definitely steal the ball from him.
While Kaka was still struggling with this decision.
A familiar voice came from behind him.
"Behind you, Kaka!"
Didico!
He pulled himself out of the penalty area!
Kaka knew who was calling him without even turning his head.
A sudden inspiration struck.
Facing the ball so close to him, Kaká quickly raised his right foot to let it pass, then pushed off again and continued running into Arsenal's penalty area!
This clever dribble drew the attention of most of Arsenal's defenders.
In their hearts.
Compared to Kaka when he wasn't holding the ball.
Adriano, who is about to get the ball, is the biggest potential threat.
In the blink of an eye.
Hleb changed direction and rushed towards Adriano, and the direction he ran was also interesting. He ran directly in front of Adriano, who was facing the goal, with the aim of preventing Adriano from receiving the ball, making a sideways cut, and then shooting.
And on the edge of the penalty area.
Gala, who was closely marking Adriano, also rushed out.
Surrounded by these two.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes that Adriano would have a very difficult time either shooting directly or adjusting his position before shooting.
But Brazilians have more than just these two options.
Adriano did not choose to shoot.
He simply took a small jog towards the ball rolling towards him, then used the instep of his right foot to curl the ball into a beautiful arc, sending it over the top of the net to the right side of Arsenal's penalty area.
There's no one there!
This was everyone's first reaction.
But the next second...
Arsenal players broke out in a cold sweat.
Because Kaka, who had been running non-stop, suddenly burst out of the crowd and headed straight for the football!
"Kaka made a brilliant save, Adriano can shoot now!" Lineker commented, suppressing his excitement. "Adriano shoots... no! He didn't choose to shoot, he passed the ball into Arsenal's penalty area, there... Kaka is there!!"
really.
Kaka caught up with the football.
However, Adriano's pass was a little too long, and it was already very close to the baseline.
Kaka watched the football flying through the air and quickly realized that even if he got to the ball, it would be difficult to find a suitable angle to shoot directly. Passing the ball was the best option!
But now Arsenal's players are charging into the penalty area like madmen.
If I pass the ball to the middle...
At most, it will cause a commotion; scoring a goal depends on luck.
But the game is about to enter stoppage time.
Leeds United can't afford to gamble on luck!
Kaka's mind raced.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a figure running into the penalty area behind an Arsenal defender.
Without hesitation.
Kaka used his feet to catch up with the ball, then turned around and jumped up suddenly, using an incredibly awkward-looking alley-oop motion to head the ball back.
The Brazilian was looking for Ibrahimovic, who was following behind the Arsenal defenders!
The football traced an arc in the air.
He bypassed Arsenal's defense, and in doing so, he also bypassed Ibrahimovic.
Simeone, who had been clenching his fists tightly on the sidelines, seemed to have lost his strength. He waved his hand, ready to start cursing.
Only Li Shiguang remained focused on the tall figure inside the penalty area.
The [Ultimate Kill Card] is still valid.
And Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the kind of player who can create miracles.
Although many people criticized him as a weakling in major competitions in his past life, Eevee has been under his tutelage for so long, and now with the blessing of the [Quick Kill Card], maybe he can create that miracle!?
That's absolutely right!
Ibrahimovic saw Kaká's pass and knew the ball had flown over his head.
But when it flies over your head.
The football looks like it's already falling, right?
At this moment.
Ibrahimovic had a bold idea.
He leaned forward at his limit and fell headfirst to the ground.
After taking off.
He raised his right leg high, bent his knee, and then slammed his heel into the direction he imagined the soccer ball would fly!
It hit!
The impact felt clearly from my heel.
But...did he manage to score against Arsenal?
With this question in mind, Ibrahimovic fell heavily onto the grass.
The next second.
Ibrahimovic braced himself on the grass, trying to stand up and see the result of his wildly imaginative shot, but before he could even get up, a figure rushed over from the left and pushed the Swede back onto the grass.
Next.
One body after another pressed down on him.
This moment.
All I could hear in Zlatan Ibrahimovic's ears was the cheerful laughter of his teammates!
