Chapter 379 Mr. Key
"Leeds United coach David O'Reilly's substitution has had an immediate effect. Compared with Alan Smith, who is more than hardworking but lacks the overall situation, McPhail, who is not well-known in European football, is at least passing the ball. There is a refreshing feeling on the ball. In the attack just now, it was he who broke through Makelele's defense with a ball that people did not expect at all, allowing Kenny to successfully receive the ball!"

"And Kenny also continued his excellent form and helped Viduka score. It can be said that McPhail contributed to Leeds United's equalizer goal!"

At this time, Kenny's compliment to McPhail on the court also attracted praise from the Leeds United players. Faced with this situation, McPhail was very calm and did not take credit for it. Obviously, the injuries in recent years As well as on loan, the marginalization has matured this once talented player a lot.

It's just that at this time, no one noticed the embarrassment on the face of Alan Smith, who had just come off the bench, when he was celebrating with his teammates.

No. 608 minutes, the game restarted.

After scoring the equalizing goal, the morale of the Peacock Legion was greatly boosted. After the Real Madrid players took the ball, the players launched a frantic press and interception. They wanted to use this morale to score another goal to pull the score away. Yes, but of course, the players of Real Madrid are also suffocating in their hearts. How can they let the players of Leeds United get what they want?So just like that, the two sides launched a fierce fight and confrontation in the next ten minutes.

No.70 In the second minute, Figo broke through Gary Kelly and gave the ball to Raul on the edge of the penalty area. The prince of the Bernabeu quickly turned around and hit the goal before Woodgate made it up. Unfortunately, this shot was too fast. , so the quality is not too high, and it can't really threaten Leeds United's goal.However, this is a wake-up call for Leeds United. Not only is Carlos repeatedly invading the right flank, but the current situation on the other left flank is not optimistic. Compared with the strength of Real Madrid players, if they really want to fight When the offensive and defensive battle comes, Leeds United can't catch up.

No.708 minutes, Leeds United goalkeeper Martin's goal kick was cut off at Keane's feet. Real Madrid relied on this opportunity to attack again. Keeping up with the footsteps of the Real Madrid players, this also made Hart barely intercept Zidane after paying a yellow card.

But everyone can clearly see that if Zidane does not insist on breaking through but chooses to pass to Morientes who is in a better position, then it is impossible for Hart to catch such an opportunity.

At this time, the French star became more and more anxious after the score was equalized. Although there was no annoying Latin in the stands of Leeds United, and the fans who took the lead in making trouble were also kicked out of the stands, but in the French career It was the first time that Zhong felt that such seemingly ordinary boos were so harsh, making him eager to prove himself.

For such a situation, the coach Bosque obviously saw it, but he did not express any dissatisfaction, because in the opinion of this outstanding coach, Mr. Golden Globe has enough ability to control his emotions. Dane's aggressiveness can have a very good benign effect on the entire team to a large extent.

"It was a free kick that wasn't in a good position, it looked like Real Madrid would focus their attention on the spot in front of the goal, the French star Zinedine Zidane stood under the ball and a whistle blew him off. It rushed out, such a beautiful arc!!! Just a little bit!!!”

"The Leeds United fans in the stands broke into a cold sweat. There was an amazing drop of the ball in the air, but again, the reaction of Leeds United goalkeeper Martin saved him once, and also saved Leeds United. He caught the ball. In the hands! Although this free kick attack is over, I believe that Zidane’s free kick is enough to surprise everyone! The ball is in the air like an elevator!!!”

"Martin took the goal kick. This is Leeds United's offensive opportunity. McPhail, Ducourt and Viduka are each other's horns. Isn't Real Madrid ready to invest more players in defense? McPhail Well, the dexterous dribbling is not gorgeous, but it gives people a fresh and refined feeling! It’s a pity that Viduka took the ball! Hierro’s reaction is very fast, this is a clean steal! The ball is back. In the hands of Real Madrid!"

"No one dares to ignore the current captain of Real Madrid. The name Hierro means iron, and this is exactly what Hierro has been portrayed for so many years! Although he has been criticized by people for being slow to turn around for many years, it can't be done. What is overlooked is that this man is from a lower back! Oh, no, maybe this is not correct!"

At this time, many fans of the new generation heard the commentator's evaluation of Real Madrid captain Hierro, and they had a lot of doubts. They didn't understand what it meant. "Oh, no, maybe this is not correct!", this sentence is very meaningful!
In fact, what most fans of the new generation don’t know is that Hierro’s initial position was indeed from the midfielder. After transferring from the Valladolid club to Real Madrid, he also played as a midfielder. At that time, the team There are the best midfielder in Europe, Rafael Martin-Vazquez, and the "football prodigal son" Schuster's dual-core midfielder, so Hierro's main task is to defend.

His interception is fierce and often criticized. In the 90 Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid and Barcelona were evenly matched, but because of Hierro's defensive action before halftime, he was sent off with two yellows and one red, which directly caused Real Madrid to lose the championship.

But despite this, Hierro's status in the team has improved sharply since the 90-91 season, because after leaving Vazquez and Schuster, Hierro needs to take into account both offense and organization in the midfielder position. His offensive ability has been well developed. He is tall and strong, with an excellent set-piece footwork, forward and backward shots, headers, everything is a weapon.

What is even more interesting is that when Hugo Sanchez, one of the most outstanding players in the history of Mexican football, left the team, Real Madrid had a striker shortage. Together with La Liga's top scorer and World Cup silver boot winner Butragueno, they form Real Madrid's attack line, while the young Alfonso can only serve as a substitute, and Hierro even completed a big game against the Spaniard. Four happy, it can be seen that his terrifying scoring ability.

Later, Zamorano, the most prominent man in the history of Chilean football, came, so Hierro gave up No. 9 and retreated to the midfield. This time he played in the front midfielder, Miglia in the back midfielder, and then Redondo came. , Therefore, Hierro played a versatile match in the early and mid-term of Real Madrid, but in the national team, he was always fixed in the midfielder position until the 98 World Cup Hierro was still a midfielder.

When Real Madrid lacked a striker, Hierro was pushed to the front line. Then Real Madrid lacked a defender. Naturally, he thought of Hierro, who played as a defensive midfielder in the national team and was born with a central defender. In the early 90s, Real Madrid's central defender position was always unstable. The other position was the Argentinian Ruggieri at the beginning, and then the Brazilian Rocha, all of which were not satisfactory, and it was not until the introduction of Arcota that it stopped.But unfortunately Arcota was seriously injured in the 94-95 season, so Hierro made his debut again.

In the next two seasons, Hierro, Sanchez, and Alcorta will be the three central defenders. After Alcorta returns home and Sanchez grows old, Hierro will become the backbone of the defense line. Therefore, Hierro has fixed his position in the central defender and the image of a defensive general.

And this is what the commentators like to talk about when they mention Hierro. A player with comprehensive skills who can give everything for the team is undoubtedly very worthy of admiration, and Hierro can sit firmly in Real Madrid for many years. It is also the best embodiment of his personal strength.

Compared to the stars of Real Madrid, Leeds United's two wings guarded by Gary Kelly and Hart can be said to be obvious shortcomings. Most of the time, Woodgate or Ferdinand must rush out of the penalty area decisively. Only the front cover can contain the aggressive Real Madrid players.

Seeing such a situation, everyone broke into a sweat. Even the chairman of Leeds United, Ridsdale, who was sitting high in the box, frowned again as the situation changed...

It has to be said that Ridsdale is a very caring chairman of the club, and it is precisely because of his caring and love that Leeds United eventually went bankrupt and relegated in history. Of course, this is not the case now. Ni's appearance has changed a lot and reversed history, but what has not changed is Ridsdale's ambition to bring Leeds United to the top.

From this point of view, there is no doubt that the two full-backs in Leeds United can no longer keep up with the team's further needs. They are still competent in the domestic arena, but in the European arena, Gary Kelly and Hart's weakness There is no doubt that, so at this moment, signings were put on the agenda in Chairman Ridsdale's mind.But in any case, focusing on the present is the most important thing. Not only Ridsdale, but everyone who cares about this game wants to know the choice of Leeds United coach O'Reilly next.

At this time, the game has gradually reached the last ten minutes, and it can be said that the time to decide the final outcome has come. Under such circumstances, O'Reilly suddenly waved his hand, signaling the whole army to press on.He understands that decisive decisions must be made at the last juncture, and everything will fall to Real Madrid if it is dragged into overtime, so he might as well give it a go at this time.

But what O'Reilly didn't expect was that less than 5 minutes after he waved his hand to signal the whole army to attack, Leeds United's goal was finally broken by Real Madrid again at this time.

No.80 In the second minute, Salgado took the ball. Although the desperate Saburo had the upper hand in the fight with Keane, his physical strength was also extremely exhausted. Therefore, at this time, Bosque had already begun to signal more. Real Madrid players began to warm up.Of course, Salgado didn't want to end here. He is very aware of his embarrassing position on the luxurious battleship of Real Madrid. He can secure a starting position because there is currently no stronger player in Real Madrid than him in this position. , and his steady passing in offense and bravery and tenacity in defense are one of the important reasons to ensure the stability of Real Madrid's defense.

But just this does not guarantee that Salgado can continue his starting position, so he must find ways to perform better and let everyone remember himself. one side.

After the new chairman Florentino came to power and introduced Figo, Zidane, and sold Redondo, everyone knew that Real Madrid had no truly unshakable players at this time. Even the eldest brother Hierro was rumored to be Chairman Florentino has put up the option of selling, and Salgado is undoubtedly in jeopardy, so after discovering that Leeds United is now aggressively attacking, the left back has a keen feeling that he can seize Take this opportunity.

I saw this desperate Saburo suddenly erupting along the border at a terrifying speed. Such a sudden outburst was undoubtedly unexpected. With the game approaching more than 80 minutes and such a high-intensity game, for every It is a great test for a person's physical strength, body and mind, so when Salgado broke out suddenly, the Leeds United players missed the best opportunity to defend him in a moment of stupor.

Salgado was already ecstatic to see that Batty didn't step forward to stop him at the first time. He knew that he had done the right thing!

Having tasted the sweetness, he rushed all the way into the hinterland of Leeds United's penalty area, and it was also here that Leeds United's defensive players were late. Gary Kelly rushed up to intercept, but Salgado was very smart , he observed that Figo had reached the near point, and Raul was also in front of him.So he pretended to slow down and made an inward pass, leading Gary Kelly to Figo's side intentionally.

Sure enough, when Gary Kelly saw Salgado's actions, he did not doubt him. After using his position to block the passing line between the Real Madrid player and Raul, he leaned towards Figo without any doubt. It is doubtful that any defensive player will make such a response.Who made Raul and Figo both famous stars, but Salgado didn't think so. This left back, who can be said to have pinned himself on this attack for the next season, cleverly deceived Gary. After Kelly, he kicked the ball to the middle, where the French star Zidane who had missed several opportunities before.
