"Unfortunately, Alonso's threatening shot was firmly suppressed by his former teammate." Lineker's face was full of regret. "It seems that Schmeichel is still familiar with Alonso's shooting habits. I noticed that when Alonso just swung his thigh, Schmeichel had already made a prediction and started to move to his left."
"Indeed! After watching these few Manchester United games, I just want to say one thing, Ferguson's 18 million euros are really worth it!"
The two commentators were still sighing about Alonso's shot.
The next moment.
Leeds United made a comeback.
Berbatov did not fight for the goal kick sent by Schmeichel. Xavi Alonso, who had just retreated to the midfield, won the header and gave the ball to Kaka who ran back to meet him diagonally.
The Manchester United midfielders were very focused.
Facing the ball passed to Kaka, Carrick made a prediction in advance and squeezed to Kaka's side when the ball was still in the air.
In this situation, Kaka could have received the ball successfully, let alone passed or broke through.
But what surprised everyone was that.
Kaka once again showed his imaginative side as a Brazilian on the football field.
At the moment the football landed.
Kaka did not try to stop the ball, but waited until the football hit the ground and had no time to bounce back, and directly knocked the ball to the left side with the back of his right foot!
Obviously, except for Bale who was already running fast, other players on the field did not expect Kaka to pass the ball in this way.
Running ahead gave Bale some advantages. Although Evra turned around and caught up immediately, he still let Bale successfully cut inside at the position of the left side of his own penalty area line!
After cutting inside, Bale pretended to shoot, and this action caused Vidic, who was still in the penalty area, to rush out immediately, covering his vital parts and making a move to block Bale's shooting route.
But the Welsh youngster faked a shot and dunked the ball, and his left leg withdrew most of its force when it touched the ball.
He first dunked the ball to the right with the inner instep of his left foot, and after shaking off Vidic who was rushing forward, he immediately used the outer instep of his foot to dunk the ball to his left front, and swung his left leg again.
A straight and powerful volley!
Ibrahivic, who was blocking Bale's shooting path, dodged on the ground, and the ball flew over his head and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
"Gareth Bale!!"
Amid Lineker's exclamation and the boos of the fans at Old Trafford, Schmeichel reacted quickly and jumped up, using his fist to knock the ball that was about to fly into the net out of the bottom line!
"Perfect save! Schmeichel saved Manchester United again! Bale's shot was also quite wonderful!"
"After the game started, the two sides did not test each other at all, and immediately opened up their positions to attack. Manchester United, who was at home, played back and forth with Leeds United. But in the last few minutes, Leeds United got consecutive chances to shoot, and two consecutive shots threatened Manchester United's goal to a great extent! If it weren't for Schmeichel's heroic performance, the score on the field might have been 0:2!" Jon said incessantly, "But from the current situation, Leeds United has taken the initiative on the field. But this is not surprising. Two years ago, when Leeds United was just promoted to the Premier League, Leeds United could draw with Manchester United away! Now Leeds United has already grown up, and last season's confrontation with Manchester United was also a win and a draw without a loss. It is not surprising that it can have such a performance today..."
Indeed.
Manchester United did not take any advantage in the last few minutes of the game.
With Ronaldo under strict supervision, Rooney and Berbatov obviously did not help him share the defensive pressure, which made Ferguson standing on the sidelines and the fans in the stands of Old Trafford a little anxious.
But Ferguson was also helpless.
In his opinion, he could only hope that his disciples would be more powerful, and wait until Leeds United's offensive weakened a little during this period, and then seek opportunities for counterattacks!
····
But the players of Leeds United did not do as Ferguson thought.
Li Shiguang had already engraved the idea of taking advantage of your illness to kill you into the minds of these young men.
After the corner kick was taken, the players of both sides did not head the ball in the penalty area, but Schmeichel punched it out in the air and landed at the feet of Alonso outside the penalty area!
Alonso did not pass the ball immediately. He glanced at the messy crowd in the penalty area and saw that the Manchester United players pressed forward quickly.
He knew that the Manchester United players were pressing forward so quickly, most likely to try to steal the ball from his feet. In addition, they might also want to create an offside position, thinking that if he immediately lobbed the ball into the goal,The penalty area, then Leeds United's offensive will be disintegrated.
Seeing this situation.
Alonso passed the ball to the left side with one foot, and passed the ball to Modric, who had already retreated to a safe position after taking a corner kick.
At this time, most of the players on both sides were crowded in Manchester United's penalty area.
So there was no defensive player around Modric.
And Modric's reaction was also super fast.
Seeing that no one could catch up with him in time, he immediately ran to the bottom line with the ball.
This action forced Manchester United's players to turn around and retreat again.
They had no choice.
If Alonso passed the ball immediately after receiving the ball, then basically all the Leeds United players in Manchester United's penalty area were in an offside position at this time.
But if Modric took the ball to the bottom line and then passed it, it would not be offside. After all, he had already run to the bottom line and then passed the ball, so it was likely that Modric's pass target was behind him!
In football games.
This kind of continuous rhythm change is the most prone to problems!
Modric, seized such an opportunity!
He did not bring the ball completely to the bottom line.
After seeing the collective movement of Manchester United's defense, Modric directly kicked the ball to the middle.
But it was a little different from the usual cross.
Modric's cross was not passed to the front of the goal, but to the back of the penalty spot.
Following the trajectory of the ball, the Manchester United players were horrified to find that one of the Leeds United players who had been advancing and retreating with them before, stayed in place!
Kaka, who did not move forward, stood in place.
When the Manchester United players realized the danger, the "Son of God" had already swung his right leg.
The next second.
Kaka's foot hit the ball hard.
Volley!
Such a close-range and powerful shot, even Lineker, who had been staring at the TV screen, had no time to exclaim, the ball had already passed through the gap between people and rushed straight to the front of Manchester United's goal!
