Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

Chapter 262

At this time, Old Trafford was full of people. Manchester United fans who learned that Leeds United had not scored yet were cheering loudly in the stands.

Next to the stadium, Manchester United players had just finished celebrating after scoring.

Rooney and Giggs walked to the stadium together.

Ferguson also stood on the sidelines with a smile on his face, watching his beloved disciple who had just helped Manchester United take the lead.

"Alex, good news, there is no movement from Leeds United!" Mike Phelan walked to Ferguson with his mobile phone and whispered.

"Yeah." Ferguson just nodded calmly, "Remind them not to take it lightly after returning to the stadium, and continue to strengthen the attack! If Leeds United wins, a one-goal advantage will not allow us to win the championship."

Phelan's news certainly made Ferguson a little happy.

But he and Li Shiguang are both enemies and friends.

After two years of confrontation, in Ferguson's heart, Li Shiguang is no longer the rookie coach who is in the English Championship.

I still remember that when Li Shiguang just led the team into the Premier League two years ago, Ferguson had never looked at Li Shiguang in the game. In his opinion, Li Shiguang was always just a young man who had just started out.

He could still dominate the English Championship with a novel tactical system.

Coming to the Premier League, there were some hardships to be endured.

But he didn't expect Li Shiguang to grow so fast. He defeated Chelsea in the first Premier League game and finally led Leeds United to kick Liverpool out of the top four in the first season after being promoted to the Premier League and led the team into the Champions League.

And from this season, Leeds United was unstoppable.

After experiencing a slump at the beginning of the season, Li Shiguang not only led Leeds United into the quarterfinals in the Champions League, but also competed with himself all the way, leaving the suspense of the championship until now!

Looking back now, Ferguson feels that it is not an exaggeration to describe the growth rate of Li Shiguang and Leeds United as terrifying...

Elland Road Stadium

The players of Leeds United did not know that Manchester United was ahead yet. They were still pressing Sheffield United, launching waves of attacks.

Sheffield United also performed tenaciously, and goalkeeper Kenny played well. He had confiscated several threatening shots from Ibrahimovic, and even failed to give Leeds United a chance to make up.

In this situation, the anxious mood gradually spread from the fans in the stands to the players on the field.

What's worse is that.

The game was in the 32nd minute.

A new problem emerged.

Yaya Toure received a cross pass from Modric in the left half, and just as he was about to break through, he was knocked to the ground by Tongqi who came from behind.

"Oh! God!" Lineker saw Toure kneeling on the ground in pain and pinching his ankle after falling, exclaiming, "Tongqi's tackle this time is at least a yellow card!"

"Yes, Atkinson is already taking out the card. Judging from the position of his pocket, it is indeed a yellow card." Jon quickly agreed, but he observed more carefully, "It seems that Toure's condition is a bit bad. Alonso is already waving to the sidelines to call the team doctor!"

"This is a bit of a big problem." Lineker's tone was a little disappointed, "Toure's performance today was not bad. His impact has posed a great threat to Sheffield United's defense. If he leaves the field due to injury, it will be a big loss for Leeds United!"

At this time, the game was stagnant because of Toure's injury.

The live director also cut the real-time camera to the faces of Leeds United fans in the stands.

Many fans in the picture covered their chins and looked at Toure who was receiving treatment with worry. There is no doubt that everyone is worried about Toure's injury.

But the next second, the TV screen turned, and Toure, who had just knelt on the grass, stood up after receiving emergency treatment from the team doctor.

This made the fans who were worried about him just now breathe a sigh of relief...

After the Leeds United team doctor left the field, the game continued.

"Boss, this won't work. The opponent is defending too hard. Aren't they trying to stay in the league? Aren't you panicking at all?" Seeing that he couldn't score a goal, even Simeone began to get anxious.

But Li Shiguang remained unmoved, and was not affected by Simeone. He replied calmly: "Nonsense, you know that Manchester United scored a goal, how could Warnock not know? What is he panicking about?"

Then he patted Simeone on the shoulder: "Don't panic, believe the boys, take a good look at the situation on the field, don't you find that Frank seems to have found a loophole in them?"

Loophole?

What loophole?

Li Shiguang's words made Simeone look puzzled, and he immediately turned his eyes to the field.

····

At this time, Leeds United was attacking from the backcourt.

Alonso had just run a few steps forward with the ball when he saw Ribery waving at him for the ball. Alonso passed the ball without hesitation.

After receiving the ball, Ribery began to dribble the ball towards the bottom line at a constant speed.

Strangely, Sheffield United's left-back Quinn, who was defending him, did not come up to grab the ball, but faced Ribery and retreated at the same speed.

This is what Li Shiguang said.

The loophole Ribery found.

When Ribery tried to break through a few times before, he found that Tongqi would never kick easily. He knew that Tongqi was afraid that if he kicked easily, he would be caught by himself and break through! So Tongqi had to wait until he pushed the ball to the bottom line, and then their left-back Kilgallon came over, and then he would run over to press him closely.

After discovering this, Ribery thought about it in his little head, and ran to Toure and whispered a few words.

So now in everyone's sight.

Ribery advanced with the ball at a constant speed, and Tongqi also retreated with him.

And Toure had slowly approached from the middle.

Ribery had been calculating, and at the same time paying attention to the changes in Tongqi's footsteps.

Sure enough.

When he ran with the ball to about 10 meters away from the baseline, Tongqi's footsteps, which were still retreating, suddenly changed. He kicked his left leg hard on the ground, just like before, and rushed towards Ribery.

Ribery, who had been prepared, would naturally not be intercepted by Tongqi so easily.

This time he was not very fast with the ball, so he reacted quickly.

Ribery stopped the ball instantly, and then pushed his left foot to push the ball to Toure, who had already run to the side and back of Tongqi, and then he ran sideways into the penalty area.

Toure, who got the ball, stood still, but because he was the one holding the ball, he successfully attracted the attention of Tongqi and Kilgallon.

Then when Ribery ran into the penalty area, Toure just lightly kicked the ball with his right foot and passed it between the two people facing him.

When the two Sheffield United defenders turned around to look.

Ribery in the penalty area had already received Toure's pass.

And right in front of Ribery, there was an open space waiting for him to gallop...
