Chapter 439
"What a close call! Bale just took the ball outside the penalty area and shot a cold arrow! He almost helped Leeds United to overtake the score! The game was about to end in the first half, and Lyon had already begun to consciously shrink the defense line, wanting to fight again in fifteen minutes, but Leeds United still maintained their offensive. It seems that Li was not willing to score only one goal in the first half!"
After the TV broadcast replayed Bale's shot just now, as if to confirm Lineker's words, it quickly gave a close-up shot of Li Shiguang standing on the sidelines.
Li Shiguang in the camera felt sorry that Bale's shot was slightly higher than the crossbar. He rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and then gave a thumbs up to Bale who quickly returned to defense!
"That's right. Judging from Li's look, he should be thinking that he would be able to overtake the score in the first half. But unfortunately, the seven-minute first-half stoppage time is about to end. If nothing unexpected happens, the two sides should still enter the halftime break with a score of 1:1." Hunter knows Li Shiguang's character. Since the team has raised morale, with Li Shiguang's style, he will definitely let his players press the opponent to attack fiercely, and it is best to score more goals as soon as possible!
····
Due to the farce after Lyon scored.
Osato gave an extra-long stoppage time of seven minutes in the first half.
From the end of regular time, the start of stoppage time.
Houllier was directing his disciples to stabilize the defense.
The French coach could see that after such an unexpected long confrontation with Leeds United, except for Benzema and Gove in front, the physical fitness of his own backcourt players has almost reached the critical point.
Although the lead was equalized by the opponent not long after.
But to be honest,
He recognized the performance of his disciples in the first half.
Considering the actual strength gap between the two sides, his players were able to score first and find opportunities to make several beautiful counterattacks after the opponent equalized.
Houllier was very satisfied with these two points. What he wanted now was to stabilize his position, wait for the halftime break to go back to the locker room to let the players have a good rest, and then fight with Li Shiguang in the second half.
Lyon's players were tired, but in fact, Leeds United's players were not much better than them.
Speaking of which.
The running range of Leeds United players was larger than that of their opponents.
The reason why they can still maintain a high-speed sprint in a short period of time is that they are young, and secondly, the reward given by Li Shiguang is too tempting.
You must know that Leeds United is completely privatized, and Li Shiguang has no other industries, so there is no situation of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Except for the little bit that Li Shiguang used for his own enjoyment, Leeds United's annual profit is almost a circle and invested in the club again.
In this way, among all the clubs in the Premier League, in addition to the top salary, Leeds United's other various game bonuses are also ridiculously high.
So it is understandable that the players work so hard.
And the facts have proved it.
In modern football, in addition to honor, money is also an extremely important component!
In the 50th minute of the first half, there are only two minutes left, and the seven minutes of stoppage time will come to an end.
Leeds United organized an attack from the backcourt. If nothing unexpected happens, this is also the last attack opportunity in the first half.
The football was distributed to the right by Modric.
Ribery ran along the right side with the ball, and was destroyed by Grosso when he was about 15 meters away from the bottom line.
When the football went out of bounds.
Osato first looked down at his watch.
Finding that there was still about one minute left, he gestured to Leeds United to serve a sideline ball.
But this is Lyon's home court after all.
When Ribery took the ball from the ball boy and turned back to the sideline, Lyon's defense was already organized.
Seeing that the opponents had already taken their positions.
In desperation, Ribery could only choose to throw the ball to the bottom line, at least it was closer to Lyon's goal.
Adriano was preparing to receive the ball at the bottom line, and he was entangled with Lyon's left center back Revere.
Adriano was in front, and Revere was behind him and pressed him tightly.
In this situation, even if the Brazilian had strong physical coordination, it would be difficult to turn around while dribbling the ball.
So when the ball was flying in the air, Adriano immediately made a decision, that is, not to take the ball!
So in the sight of everyone.
The sideline ball thrown by Ribery landed, and then bounced into the air again. This time, Adriano, who was supposed to grab the ball, did not stop the ball, but turned around forcibly, and then blocked his left side with one hand, and Revere, who realized what he was doing, was stuck on the left side.
Wait until the football falls again.Adriano had already calmly got the ball in the penalty area.
It was very similar to the goal that tied the score.
Facing Squirachi who rushed over to make a second goal, this time Adriano chose to use the arch of his foot to push the ball that bounced into the air again, and it was another lob pass!
However, the quality of this lob pass was average.
The speed and height were not in place, and Claire, who was timely, jumped high and headed it directly out of the penalty area.
But what a coincidence.
As soon as the ball flew out of the penalty area, Kaka, who was running sideways, stopped it with his right foot and stopped it again in the penalty area.
Since this was just an accident, Kaka was not fully prepared when stopping the ball, and the ball stopped a little far away. When he adjusted his body to catch up with the ball, Claire had already rushed in front of him.
In the fight between the two, the ball got out of their control again and slowly rolled out of the penalty area.
In fact, all this happened in just two or three seconds.
But for professional players, this time is long enough.
When Kaka and Claire were fighting for the ball, the players from both sides had already gathered around, and for a moment, there was going to be a chaos in Lyon's penalty area.
But someone didn't let the chaos happen!
Adriano, who had just made the cross, had already slipped to the center of the penalty area.
Seeing the ball rolling out from the penalty spot where Kaka and Claire were fighting for the ball.
Adriano reacted the fastest, took a big step, and rushed after the ball.
Seeing this, Lyon's defensive players also hurriedly caught up, trying to stop Adriano, who was facing the goal, from passing the ball.
But Adriano didn't choose to pass the ball again.
He caught up with the ball and sent it out of the penalty area.
Then he used his supporting foot to exert force, and his speed exploded again, pulling out a body position and instantly catching up with the ball.
Then there was a shocking turn and shot, and the ball ran towards the lower right corner of Lyon's goal along the grass!
Adriano's kick was a real ground cut.
The ball did not rotate during its movement, but only had explosive power and extremely fast speed.
And poor Coupe.
The crowded crowd in the penalty area completely blocked his view.
For the second time in this game, he did not react at all, just stood there stupidly, watching the ball go into the goal from his left!
1:2!
In the last minute of the first half, Leeds United overtook the score!
