16th minute.
Manchester United started to organize the attack from the backcourt.
After several passes, the ball was sent to Scholes' feet.
Seize the opportunity.
Scholes sent a diagonal pass to the right side of the Leeds United penalty area and accurately found Wes Brown who came up to assist.
Wes Brown did not make too many adjustments and directly swept the ball to the middle.
Berbatov, who followed up, shot before Silva, but was saved by Neuer.
Thirty seconds later.
Manchester United took a corner kick.
Vidic had the upper hand in the fight with Alonso, but fortunately the goalpost saved Leeds United this time. The ball hit the goalpost and bounced back, and was kicked out of the sideline by Kolarov.
21st minute.
It was originally an offensive opportunity for Leeds United, but Modric, who finally got rid of Carrick's entanglement, wanted to pass the ball horizontally to Rodriguez standing on his right, but was intercepted by Park Ji-sung who came out from halfway.
Manchester United launched a counterattack on the spot.
After two or three passes, Carrick kicked the ball to Ronaldo on the left. Ronaldo ran all the way along the left side, once again resisting Alves' harassment and rushing into the penalty area. After shaking the angle, he kicked and shot.
The force of this shot was so strong that Neuer, who had been prepared for a long time, still lost his hand when he tried to save it.
That is, the German's second reaction was quick. After finding that he had lost his hand, he immediately stood up and rushed forward. Before Berbatov's outstretched right foot touched the ball, he pressed the ball tightly under himself, otherwise this time... Leeds United would lose the ball!
····
For more than ten minutes, Leeds United was at a disadvantage.
The atmosphere on the bench of Leeds United also changed a bit, becoming much heavier than before.
But seeing Li Shiguang folding his hands on his chest and keeping silent, the others did not speak either, and could only watch the situation on the field anxiously.
"Boss, we can't go on like this! Sooner or later they will score!" Rivaldo's face was solemn, "Luca was restricted too much, we didn't attack at all."
Seeing Rivaldo fired the first shot.
Simeone immediately came over from the side: "Boss, if it doesn't work, let's change Marco to rush up? Carrick's speed is not fast, maybe it can have some effect!"
Rivaldo and Simeone spoke in a somewhat anxious tone, which shows that Leeds United's passive situation has made them unbearable.
But Li Shiguang seemed like an old monk in meditation, still looking at the field calmly, and didn't finish.
Simeone saw Li Shiguang's look and immediately became anxious. He stretched out his palm and waved it in front of Li Shiguang's eyes: "Boss! Are you asleep!?"
"Get lost." Li Shiguang pulled Simeone's hand away, "Why are you panicking? Do you think Alex is stupid? Have you forgotten that I replaced Kaka with Marco last time and it worked wonders? Do you think Alex hasn't considered this?"
"Now Luka can at least hold the ball in front, and the ball will not be easily handed over to the opponent, but believe it or not, if Marco is replaced, we will be more passive than now!"
What Li Shiguang said was not complicated, and Simeone and Rivaldo quickly understood what he meant.
Indeed.
Modric can at least guarantee part of the ball on the court. If Reus is replaced, he will not have such a strong ability to control the ball under the pressure of the two.
But it's all right to think it through.
The team's disadvantages are in front of them. If they don't make a move, they will really die slowly!
"Then we just watch and don't make any moves? Boss, this is not scientific!" After a moment of silence, Simeone still asked the doubts in his heart.
Glancing at Simeone.
A familiar smile climbed up the corner of Li Shiguang's mouth again: "Who said I didn't make any moves? Don't you find that Rodriguez has been in a state of no defense for a long time? Alex may not know, but don't you know that Rodriguez has a long shot that can break the stone?"
····
On the court, Manchester United's offensive became more and more fierce.
Seeing that Modric was unable to complete the task of a single breakthrough when facing Carrick and Park Ji-sung as he expected, Ferguson no longer had any concerns. During this period, he kept commanding his disciples to press forward, hoping that they could break through the gate of Leeds United as soon as possible.
After all, this 0:0 score is not what Manchester United wants!
Under the rise and fall.
Leeds United's lineup was compressed very far back, and even Adriano had to retreat behind the center circle to help the team defend.
The match time came to the 34th minute.
Manchester United was organizing an attack in the frontcourt.
Scholes, who had the ball, passed it to the left.
Facing the aggressive Ronaldo, Alves, who had been treated as a background board in the previous few times, learned his lesson and did not rush forward again.He followed Ronaldo's rhythm and slowly retreated, preparing to kick when Ronaldo broke through, giving the Portuguese a fatal blow.
Ronaldo may be a little bit eccentric, but he is not stupid. He brought the ball to the penalty area. When he really didn't find any flaws from Alves, he had to look up into the penalty area.
As soon as he looked up, Ronaldo saw Berbatov coming out of the penalty area and waving to him for the ball.
Without hesitation.
With a sideways push, the ball was passed to Berbatov's feet.
As a striker.
Berbatov has strong footwork skills, and his ball control skills are world-class.
But he also has shortcomings, a fatal shortcoming.
The saying of high emotional intelligence is to play football coolly, and the saying of low emotional intelligence is that sometimes he is lazy and slow!
Originally, relying on his excellent footwork skills, at the top of the penalty area, the disadvantage of slow speed would be infinitely reduced.
But the bad thing is that Berbatov's opponent today is Kompany, who has been his teammate for a year and is very familiar with his technical moves!
One second ago.
Berbatov got the ball and made a fake move. His right shoulder sank, seemingly ready to turn and break through from the right, but in fact, the foot on the football pushed the ball to the left.
If it were a defender who was not familiar with him, he might really be fooled by Berbatov's extremely realistic fake move.
But Kompany wouldn't!
The Belgian defender had already guarded against Berbatov's move!
The next second.
The football was just pushed to the left side of Berbatov's body.
The Bulgarian was horrified to find that a thick leg stretched out from the left side of his body and quickly stabbed the football!
When Berbatov looked up, the ball had changed hands.
Alonso, who was standing right in front of him, had already stopped the football that was stabbed from his feet steadily!
"Beautiful! Kompany made an accurate steal and the ball was poked to Alonso's feet!" Lineker was excited and suddenly raised his voice, "This is Leeds United's chance to counterattack!!"
