"Damn, Cristiano, didn't you wear your shooting boots today? You can even shoot the ball wrong!"
Ferguson walked back to the bench from the sidelines with an unhappy look on his face.
Just now, Manchester United had a very good offensive opportunity. Scholes's precise pass penetrated Sunderland's defense.
But unfortunately, Ronaldo's final kick missed the target, and the football brushed the post of Sunderland's goal and flew out of the bottom line.
Ferguson was sitting on the bench. After seeing Scholes pass the ball, he immediately rushed to the sidelines, but in the end, Ronaldo's shot made him walk back cursing.
Ferguson is very anxious now.
The news that Leeds United also took the lead has been lingering in his mind.
After the start of the second half, he occasionally looked at his assistant Phelan, but Phelan just shook his head at him and didn't say anything.
But this time, as soon as Ferguson sat down on the bench again, Phelan came over excitedly.
"Alex, good news!"
"Sheffield United equalized?"
"They overtook!"
"What? Did I hear it right?!"
"You heard it right. Maybe it's because the signal is too bad. I just received two text messages in a row! It turns out that Sheffield United equalized at the beginning of the second half, and just now, they have overtaken the score!"
Fernan's words made Ferguson overjoyed. The unhappiness caused by Ronaldo's missed shot just now disappeared from Ferguson's heart in an instant.
Today, the ten Premier League games started at the same time. Even if the progress of each game is different, some games have longer extra time and some games have shorter extra time.
But in general, the final end time should be similar.
Ferguson looked up at the electronic display screen above Old Trafford.
I was excited.
There are about twenty minutes left. Will the Premier League championship, which has been away from me for three years, come back?
Yes!
Looking at the current situation, it is likely to come back!

Elland Road Stadium.
The atmosphere in the stands was a bit heavy, although some fans were still cheering for Leeds United players with all their might.
But some fans were still staring at the stadium with dull eyes, having long lost their previous passion, and an indescribable feeling of despair began to spread in the stands of Elland Road Stadium.
Li Shiguang was fine.
Although he was a little anxious, the fighting spirit shown by the players after the game resumed did not weaken. On the contrary, it felt a little stronger after the score fell behind.
This gave him some hope again!
In the 66th minute, Sneijder received a pass from Modric, dribbled past two people outside the penalty area and took a long shot, but the ball was slightly off the goal.
Two minutes later, Alonso passed the ball to Reus, who replaced Bale, and the young German player quickly advanced along the left side to the bottom line of Sheffield United.
Facing Morgan who was defending him, Reus dribbled past the defense and broke into the penalty area, and then passed the ball to Modric who was following outside the penalty area with an inverted triangle pass.
Unfortunately, Modric's shot hit Kilgallon and bounced out of the baseline!
However, Leeds United's offensive did not weaken because it did not achieve results.
In the 76th minute, Reus broke through the baseline again and fell to the ground to pass the ball, accurately sending the ball to Ibrahimovic at the front point, but unfortunately, Ibrahimovic's goal was blocked by Kenny's quick reaction with his left foot.
····
"Ah-Zlatan!! Just a little bit!!" Lineker couldn't believe what he saw, holding his head and shouting in pain, "Did Kenny hit something today? How can he react so quickly!"
Beside him, Jon, who had been paying attention to the situation on Manchester United's side, saw Ibrahimovic's shot being blocked, and could only smile helplessly: "Not counting the extra time, there are only 13 minutes left in the game. Rationally speaking, Leeds United's hope is really not great!"
····
If Li Shiguang could hear Jon's words, he would definitely give Jon a big shot at the first time.
Because in the next ten minutes, Leeds United was really just blooming but not bearing fruit.
They completed a shot almost every minute, but they just couldn't get the ball into Sheffield United's goal.
Unknowingly, the 90-minute game was about to end, and the fourth official had already raised a sign on the sidelines.
Five minutes of extra time!
Li Shiguang noticed this situation and looked up at the big screen above Elland Road.
Well!
Before we knew it, the game had reached the 89th minute.
To be honest, Li Shiguang was a little panicked.
Although as the head coach, he had alwaysTry to control your emotions and facial expressions, but time is passing by.
The team has been unable to score.
Even though Li Shiguang's expression looks calm, his footsteps that keep moving left and right on the sidelines betray him.
····
Gradually, some fans in the stands have stood up and slowly walked towards the exit of the stadium.
They are so disappointed.
I thought I could witness the team I have followed all my life win the league championship trophy after more than ten years.
But in the end, this is the ending.
They can't accept it!
In the past, they might have stood in the stands and scolded the players and coaches.
But now, they would rather use early exit to fight the disappointment in their hearts than do such a thing.
Li Shiguang is the one who saved Leeds United!
These players are also the ones who made it to the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season with Leeds United's name!
After all, this is only their second season from the brink of bankruptcy to returning to the Premier League.
As fans, how can we be too demanding of them?
Many fans who held this idea resolutely left Elland Road.
Some fans walked out of the stadium, but they walked very slowly, and even looked back every three steps.
In their eyes, we can still see the expectation of miracles!
Perhaps God heard the voices of these loyal Leeds United fans, and when some people had not yet walked out of the stadium, hope was rekindled.
In the 91st minute of the game.
Leeds United won a corner kick.
Modric's corner kick went straight in front of the Sheffield United goal.
Before this corner kick was taken.
Ibrahimovic, who usually doesn't like to shoot with a header, was still standing near the penalty spot.
Perhaps the Sheffield United players had also studied the habits of the Leeds United forwards before the game, and they knew that Ibrahimovic didn't like to use his head.
So at this time, there was no defensive player around Ibrahimovic, who was standing far away from the goal.
But when everyone focused on the flying football, the Swedish tower had already quietly entered the small penalty area.
When the Sheffield United players saw the dangerous Ibrahimovic, it was too late.
Ibrahimovic had already stood in position, staring at the football that was falling from the sky.
Jump!
Shake his head!
Head the ball!
Three actions in one go!
At such a close distance, even if Kenny was in good shape today, Ibrahimovic did not give him any time to react.
One second later, the football was pushed hard into the Sheffield United goal by Ibrahimovic.
2:2!
Leeds United's hope is still there!!!
