[No, I just took a sip of water. Wasn't Leeds United's number 16 running towards Giggs? How come he stole the ball from Scholes' feet as soon as I put down my water glass?]
[That kid's reaction was lightning fast, his judgment so accurate! I noticed, Giggs hadn't even kicked the ball yet, and he was already preparing to turn, so Scholes had barely received the ball and hadn't even had time to adjust before that kid snatched it away!]
[Beautiful tackle! But wasn't that pass fucking ugly? I could have made a better pass!]
[I recall Leeds United's official website describing this number 16 player as a defensive midfielder. Does this mean his attacking ability is slightly lacking? For example, his long passes?]
Live streaming online.
Fans watching the game on their computers were still discussing Kanté's brilliant tackle and his poor long pass.
But Lineker didn't notice any of this; he was talking rapidly about what was happening on the field.
"Kante tackled the ball and immediately sent out a long pass. It was time for Leeds United to counterattack! Cristiano, Kaká, and Bale rushed across the halfway line at almost the same time. With Adriano and Benzema leading the attack, Leeds United created a five-on-four situation thanks to Kante's tackle!"
"But Kante's pass wasn't very good. It looks like the ball is going to land on the left side of Manchester United's half. Fletcher and O'Shea both rushed over immediately, trying to win the first ball!"
····
really.
Kante's pass was a bit of an eyesore.
Not only was the placement of the ball poorly controlled, but the pass was also a bit too long and too close to Manchester United's penalty area, allowing O'Shea and Fletcher to quickly reach the approximate landing point of the ball.
Kante just made a tackle and sent out a long pass.
Li Shiguang and Simeone both started their run from the bench and rushed to the sidelines. From their perspective, it was a good opportunity.
But now.
Simeone closed his eyes and covered his forehead, growling in exasperation, "Boss, when we get back, have Ferreira give this kid some extra practice on passing. What the hell is that long pass?! I've seen it, even Romelu Lukaku, the roughest player on the youth team, passes better than him!"
But Li Shiguang did not respond to Simone.
He stared intently at Cristiano Ronaldo, who was also rushing towards the landing point.
Li Shiguang had a vague feeling.
These two hardest-working and most disciplined players in the Leeds United squad might be able to turn this seemingly doomed connection around!
Yes!
Cristiano Ronaldo is running wildly on the field.
The Portuguese player is known for his never-give-up attitude, especially since today was his first match since joining Leeds United.
He arrived at Leeds United with the title of having the world's highest transfer fee.
During this period, he received just as much praise as he faced criticism.
Today's game.
Cristiano Ronaldo has only one goal.
That's a goal!
Cristiano Ronaldo knows this very well.
Only by scoring goals to help Leeds United win can he personally silence those doubters.
So even though Kante's pass was a bit too long, and even though his two former teammates were already standing near the landing point, ready to jump and clear the ball.
Cristiano Ronaldo still hasn't given up!
He even exerted his strength again, making himself run even faster!
When the ball was about 32 or 33 meters away from the Manchester United goal, it lost momentum and began to fall.
Facing the football, O'Shea bent his knees, looked up at the falling ball, and prepared to jump.
Fletcher, standing next to O'Shea, also turned his attention to the football.
The next second.
Having judged the timing of the ball's descent, O'Shea jumped from the spot, imagining that all he needed to do was head the ball back, with his teammates in midfield providing support.
What O'Shea didn't expect was...
The football hadn't even landed on his head yet.
Sudden!
A figure wearing a white jersey came into view!
Then came a terrifying half-second of suspended motion, visible to the naked eye. The figure seemed to be suspended in mid-air without any support. After the football fell, the figure swung its head and used its forehead to deflect the football to the right!
"WTF!?" Reinkel could hardly believe his eyes. "Cristiano actually caught up!?"
"Terrifying!" Jon shook his head repeatedly. "Cristiano's powerful physique was a key piece of the puzzle in this counter-attack. He headed the ball to Kaká in the middle, and there were no defenders around Kaká!"
Yes!
With Fletcher coming over to contest the header, Kaká was now unmarked.
Although Ronaldo's header wasn't a perfect pass, Kaká had plenty of time to control the ball.
Having witnessed Kaká's long-range shots from this position countless times, the Manchester United defenders dared not be complacent.
Fletcher, who was the first to react, immediately turned around and charged towards Kaka.
in addition.
Ferdinand, inside the penalty area, had no choice but to abandon his marking of Adriano and rush towards the outside of the penalty area.
He saw Ferdinand lunge forward.
Manchester United's other center-back, Vidic, also dared not stay alone in the penalty area and had no choice but to rush out as well.
This immediately put Adriano and Benzema, who were still in the penalty area, in an offside position, forcing Kaká, who could have passed the ball, to shoot instead!
But they didn't notice.
After winning the header, Ronaldo fell to the ground but didn't sit and wait for the attack to end. Instead, the Portuguese player immediately got up and charged into Manchester United's penalty area without hesitation!
