Chapter 234
"The ball went in! Pirlo's header scored a goal, and Leeds United's defense made a fatal mistake at this moment!" Seeing AC Milan score, Lineker held his head in pain and exclaimed, "Leeds United did a good job in the first half. They fought against AC Milan away from home, and even had several shots that were very close to the goal! But no one expected that they would be scored by AC Milan in the 40th minute!"
"That's right! Before this goal was scored, Leeds United's defense was very solid, and Schmeichel's performance was also very eye-catching. He saved several of AC Milan's must-goals!" Jon also agreed with Lineker's statement in time, "It's a pity that they still couldn't stop Pirlo's genius running. In the past, this kind of thing was done by Inzaghi, and Pirlo was the one who passed the ball! But just now, Pirlo became the killer!"
In order to defend against AC Milan's biggest offensive threat, Li Shiguang specially arranged Toure and Mascherano to start in the midfield today, in order to limit the connection between Pirlo and Kaka.
The first 40 minutes looked pretty good. Even with the protection of Ambrosini and Gattuso, Pirlo was still restricted by Toure, who was standing in the central midfielder position today.
But with the goal just now, he felt that his defense line was really fooled by these two brothers!
Kaka received the tactical corner kick from Seedorf at the bottom line, took a few steps into the Leeds United penalty area, and then passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area with a triangle. The target of the pass was also Pirlo.
Pirlo also made a shooting action, but after seeing Toure rushing up to block, he chose to pass the ball to Oddo behind him and stood still!
Seeing this scene, Leeds United's front line pressed forward normally.
But at this time, Oddo kicked the ball into the Leeds United penalty area again, and then Pirlo rushed out of the crowd and performed a perfect offside! Then he used his head to make a beautiful lob shot and sent the football into the goal from Schmeichel's head!
Damn it! Still failed to stop these two people!
Li Shiguang looked at Pirlo and Kaka who were hugging each other to celebrate the goal with a sullen face, and fell into deep thought...
····
After the halftime break, the two sides changed sides and continued the game.
In order to strive for an away goal, Li Shiguang made the first adjustment, replacing Alonso with Torres and adjusting the formation from 4-2-3-1 to 4-4-2.
After an additional attacking point in the penalty area, Leeds United finally tasted the sweetness in the 78th minute.
Ribery made a cross from the right 45-degree angle, and Ibrahimovic at the back point headed the ball to the back of Oddo who was entangled with him in the fight, and the rebounded football just fell into the small penalty area, and then Torres followed up and volleyed with his left foot to help Leeds United equalize the score.
"Beautiful, Li's adjustment finally worked!" After Torres scored, Lineker, who had been in a state of tension, finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Leeds United equalized the score and got a crucial away goal!"
Stable!
Li Shiguang, who had been standing on the sidelines, subconsciously clenched his fists after seeing Torres score. There were only a dozen minutes left in the game. If nothing unexpected happened, Leeds United could return to Elland Road with an away goal advantage!
But the game did not develop as he imagined.
5 minutes later.
Kaka received a pass from Pirlo on the left, first used a fake move to wipe Alves who rushed to defend himself, and then used his speed to eat Cannavaro alive, and dribbled the ball all the way into the penalty area.
Cannavaro had no choice but to choose to make a tackle, but his previous tackles with a very high success rate lost their effect in front of Kaka, and this time the tackle did not touch the ball.
After Kaka fell to the ground, the referee not far behind the two of them decisively sentenced Leeds United to death. Despite the protests of Leeds United players, he still gave Leeds United a red card package!
Then Kaka took the penalty kick, deceived Schmeichel, and steadily shot the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.
2:1.
Near the end of the game, AC Milan took the lead again!
····
"Hey, Leeds United is in danger!" Looking at Li Shiguang shaking his head and smiling bitterly in the TV camera, Lineker's mentality, which had just relaxed, tightened again, "Kaka's performance this season is really phenomenal. Both goals scored by AC Milan today have his shadow! No, the second goal is his personal performance."
Jon also agreed with Lineker's statement: "That's right, did you notice his breakthrough on the wing just now? This person gives me a strange feeling. His speed when sprinting with the ball is even faster than when he runs without the ball.The speed of the move should be faster! To be honest, I rarely see Cannavaro fall to the ground and still can't get the ball. "
"But anyway, Leeds United at least got an away goal. Although Cannavaro received a red card and can't play in the next game, the combination of Silva and Kompany is also capable of fighting! After today, Li should guard Kaka and Pirlo more closely in the next game! "Lineker concluded.
Just like Li Shiguang's psychological state after Leeds United equalized the score just now.
In Lineker's opinion, Leeds United is likely to lose today's game, but a one-goal deficit is acceptable. After returning to Elland Road next week, Leeds United still has a high probability of winning!
But after the injury time, a dramatic scene happened!
In the 93rd minute, Leeds United got a chance for a set piece near the center circle. Since there was little time left in the game, Ribery, who was taking the penalty kick, did not make any extra moves.
After the large team squeezed into the AC Milan penalty area, he directly kicked the ball into the AC Milan penalty area.
The football landed in the penalty area, bounced, and squeezed into The players of both teams who were scrambling for the ball did not touch the ball at the front point.
As a result, the ball bounced and rolled to the back point.
And Ibrahimovic was waiting there!
Faced with this opportunity, the Swede would not let it go. After he unloaded the ball with his chest, he shot it directly with his left foot in the same way as Torres's previous goal!
The ball went straight to the lower right corner of the goal like a cannonball!
Dida's reaction was very fast. When Ibrahimovic kicked the ball, he had already opened his arms and tried his best to expand his defensive area! But he still couldn't stop the ball from slipping through his fingertips and hitting the goal behind him!
2:2.
At the last moment of the game, Leeds United magically equalized the score!
