Chapter 488 An unexpected figure, a flourishing beauty!
The Champions League final looks more and more like a script for overtime.
Although Leeds United did not slow down and control the tempo in the final stage of the game, they still unswervingly launched continuous output on the two wings of Inter Milan, but the threat was never able to achieve a fatal effect.
Mourinho once again signaled to the team on the sidelines, telling the team to retreat.
In the final stage of the game, Leeds United fired two consecutive long-range shots, which shocked the Inter Milan fans.
Kaka and Modric each forced out Cesar to make a world-class save.
Shen Hao's expression remained unchanged.
But I realized in my heart that Inter Milan's midfield defense began to decline in quality.
The key points and areas were not blocked in place, which gave Leeds United a better starting environment for their long-range shots.
Although Muntari and Stankovic have no problem with their physical fitness, their defensive strength may not be able to sustain the situation in this level of competition.
This is what defensive players are like, their ability is clear at a glance.
In the past, strong teams relied on a single midfielder to support the defensive barrier. Nowadays, double midfielders are common, but the role of the beast midfielder has gradually faded out of sight.
The defense of weak teams often shrinks the defense with the four midfielders, but if they can't defend it, they can't defend it, because of the difference in ability.
The whole game is over.
The depressed mood of the fans of both teams finally eased.
But after the break, you will definitely still be on tenterhooks.
Go back to the locker room and take a rest.
Shen Hao intensively launched the tactical deployment of overtime.
After 90 minutes of fighting, whether it was physical exertion, substitutions, or technical and tactical adjustments between the two teams, Leeds United's advantage gradually expanded.
This is reflected in Inter Milan's difficulty in counterattacking and Leeds United's improvement in offensive quality.
After the first half of overtime started, Inter Milan obviously adopted a negative play style that further suppressed the rhythm.
Mourinho stood on the sidelines looking serious.
Inter Milan's performance gave the impression that they were trying to drag the game into a penalty shootout.
But his real purpose was to seduce Leeds United to actively press and counter-attack.
He's gambling.
Bet Shen Hao doesn't want to fight for a penalty shootout.
Leeds United have been European champions for the past three years!
Why should the overlord stand in front of the roulette wheel and gamble his life?
Are you really not confident that you can end the battle before 120 minutes?
Mourinho is eager to see a change in Leeds United's posture to strengthen their counter-attacks.
However, he was disappointed.
Leeds United did not!
It's still just the forwards who are launching regular counterattacks.
And because Leeds United's substitution adjustment today is to replace the entire striker.
Therefore, the strength of the striker's counterattack seems to be stronger in overtime than in normal times!
Inter Milan were forced to go on the offensive and they chose to play more directly.
Milito retreated to support Sneijder, and then Eto'o quickly moved forward to counter offside.
Sneijder delivered an overhead through ball.
The ball was delivered and the people ran to it!
But it's not just Eto'o who has arrived.
Neuer is here too!
Eto'o was only 20 centimeters away from Neuer, almost touching each other, and then watched helplessly as Neuer held the football.
He is always ready to interfere with Neuer's kick-off. If Neuer is not careful, Eto'o may intercept the ball immediately after he kicks off.
Neuer pretended to take the kick, and then glanced at Eto'o, who was ready to attack at any time.
The two looked at each other.
Eto'o smiled, and his white teeth stood out in the camera.
Neuer held the ball with one hand and made an inviting gesture to Eto'o with the other.
It probably means: Brother, if you can't trick me, you'd better go back and defend.
Eto'o gradually retreated.
Although the fans of both teams are depressed, relatively speaking, Inter Milan, which considers itself to be the weaker side, is obviously more depressed.
Mourinho is almost autistic.
How he wishes he could relive the 2004 Champions League final.
At that time, Marseille and Marseille coach Deschamps were so upright!
Today, Leeds United continues to output based on solid defense.
Although there is no violent offensive in sight, there is no absolute threat of explosion.
But Mourinho can feel that in this tit-for-tat competition, Leeds United's advantage is invisibly expanding.
Due to Maicon's yellow card, Leeds United attacked the left wing more frequently after entering overtime.
Van Bronckhorst continued to deliver shells into the penalty area with the support of Modric and Kaká.
Although passing the ball into the deep area to find Ronaldo, Samuel would basically retreat to defend and fight, destroying the bottom line or forcing Ronaldo to pass the ball to the wing. Van Bronckhorst's activity on the left still allowed Inter Milan's defense began to show more obvious tension.
Clearances in the penalty area are more frequent.
Inter Milan once again changed their tactics in attack.
Muntari quickly moved in to receive Milito's pass, and then blasted a long shot from outside the penalty area.
High and far.
The plane was so violent that it really made the audience feel numb.
The Champions League final!
This long shot heading into space is simply too shameful.
Mourinho sighed slightly in his heart.
A rough guy can't expect too much.
Occasionally there will be a magical or eye-catching performance, but it does not happen frequently.
Especially in big scenes, the probability of occurrence is even lower, which can be said to be minimal.
In the 103rd minute of the game, Leeds United's offensive from the left frontcourt shifted to the right. Royce successfully connected with the inside cut and then suddenly changed the direction of the ball and went outside to break through Zanetti!
Veteran Zanetti's physical fitness obviously can't support it anymore!
Royce passed the ball across the edge of the penalty area to the center of the penalty area.
Ronaldo grabbed the spot and outflanked the shot. Cesar blocked the near corner of the goal in time and blocked the ball out of the baseline!
All the fans in the audience exclaimed.
This may be Leeds United's best chance in the penalty area today, apart from Modric and Kaka's high-quality long-range shots!
Mourinho gritted his teeth secretly and kept cheering for the team in his heart.
I hope the team can withstand the pressure.
The game has actually reached this stage.
He is also ready to take a penalty shootout.
Leeds United took a tactical corner kick and then shifted the attack to the left.
Van Bronckhorst hit a long shot after stopping the ball inside on the left!
The football crossed a parabola and headed towards the upper right corner of the goal.
Countless Inter Milan fans have their hearts in their throats.
But I saw the football slightly grazing the upper edge of the crossbar and falling to the top of the net!
The slightest difference.
Leeds United fans beat their chests and sighed.
Shen Hao remained unmoved and clapped his hands to boost the team's morale.
Before the end of the first half of overtime, Inter Milan launched a fast break.
Diego Milito, who has been supporting the fulcrum for some time, suddenly pulled the ball and turned around during the reception. He changed the direction of the ball forward to get rid of Kanter, but Kanter immediately followed the defense and pressed, just when Diego Milito was about to dunk. When the ball changed direction and went to Thiago Silva, the toe of Kante's right foot touched the football.
Milito made a mistake in smashing the ball, and Thiago Silva intercepted the ball easily.
Milito put his hands together in front of his mouth and nose, looking helpless and confused.
If he is given the opportunity to play alone in the Leeds United backline, given his condition, he may still have a chance after repeated attempts.
But Leeds United never relaxed their vigilance.
Kanter is flexible, fast and explosive.
It's hard to get rid of him if he sticks to you.
Moreover, Kanter's low chassis and the angle of his foot make it difficult for opponents to guard against him.
The first half of overtime came to an end.
Players from both teams took a break on the sidelines.
Just like during the half-time break of overtime in the FA Cup final, the players formed a circle with Shen Hao in the middle. From defensive precautions to offensive adjustments and other arrangements, Shen Hao gave every player instructions.
Finally, he clapped his hands and said: "I know it is not easy for everyone to reach this moment. Our efforts will not be meaningless. Believe in yourself, believe in the teammates around you, believe in this team, we can become the champion this night!"
The Leeds United generals have firm expressions and resolute eyes.
They put their arms around each other and shouted "White will win" in unison, and then returned to the court to change sides and set up their formations.
At this stage of the game, a penalty shootout has been expected by most viewers.
After the second half of overtime started, Leeds United's output was still very stable.
Van Bronckhorst on the left and Royce on the right tried to create threats with Kaka and Modric organizing and dispatching in the midfield and Ronaldo's forward response.
Without ingenious coordination, it is not easy for Leeds United's teamwork to produce more subtle effects when Modric is very restrained.
Today, Modric can only suddenly intervene and threaten with a long shot at long intervals. Most of the time, he only organizes and defends in the midfield and backfield.
Inter Milan's counterattack threat continues to be sluggish.
Player fitness is a key.
Inter Milan naturally lacks explosion now.
After 110 minutes of the game, Leeds United's offense suddenly increased its intensity!
Although it is still very restrained, the frequency of offensive transfers and threatening balls has been significantly accelerated.
Van Bronckhorst made a pass from the left, and Royce cut in or went down. The side offensive forced National Milan to frequently make clearances in the penalty area.
Seeing that Inter Milan was unable to organize a counterattack, Leeds United was able to form a continuous attack.
After two consecutive attacks from the left and right wings, as the game approached the 115th minute, Lucio's clearance ball in front of the small penalty area was controlled by Kanter behind the center line, and then he passed the ball to Modric.
Modric dribbles forward.
He was passing the ball almost the whole game. When faced with Sneijder's frontal interception, he suddenly made a fake pass to complete the change of direction breakthrough.
After passing, the pressure on Inter Milan's defense suddenly increased.
Cambiasso, Stankovic, and Muntari lined up in front of Modric, and clearly blocked Modric's forward ball route, preventing him from forming a straight line with Kaká.
At this time, Modric decisively passed the ball diagonally to the left.
Van Bronckhorst responded and continued dribbling forward.
Maicon retreated to the edge of the penalty area to guard the inside.
Cut off as much as possible Van Bronckhorst's line of ground passes into the penalty area.
Van Bronckhorst passed the ball back from the wing outside the penalty area.
Everyone's eyes turned and they were surprised to see Bynes running towards him and killing him!
Mourinho felt tense on the sidelines and his heartbeat was pounding.
It is rare for Baynes to reach the frontcourt in this game.
This is a very dangerous signal.
After receiving the ball, Baynes stopped the ball and sent a diagonal pass to the ground.
After passing the ball, Baynes quickly retreated without looking at the next trend and changes of the offense.
At the same time, Modric, who reached the frontcourt, also began to retreat.
In the penalty area, Ronaldo took the initiative to move and met the ball in front of Samuel, heading towards the wing and stopping repeatedly.
Samuel subconsciously took a step to defend, but he was alert. Ronaldo half-turned and passed the ball diagonally back to the center of the penalty area.
At this time Kaka rushes to kill!
In the left rib area of the penalty area, the buckle was stopped and the direction was changed to cross.
Samuel quickly returned to defend in the middle, and Lucio also went towards Kaká's front.
Muntari, Stankovic, and Cambiasso returned to defend in the deep area of the penalty area, forming a five-man encirclement and suppression of Kaká!
Kaka suddenly stopped on the spot, then raised his leg and passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area!
Lucio failed to stretch his legs to intercept, and his explosive power failed to keep up!
The fierce battle lasted for nearly 120 minutes, and his physical fitness had already passed the critical point.
Now I just grit my teeth and insist on it.
A figure appeared in the right rib area before rolling towards the small penalty area!
Even though Zanetti had already moved closer to the center in advance, when Royce sprinted into the core area of the penalty area, Zanetti's turn was very hasty.
Royce, on the other hand, did not hesitate when the pass from Kaka rolled in front of him, did not adjust, and decisively pushed the ball with his left foot!
Cesar moved quickly towards the right goal post.
But the football rolled towards the lower left corner of the goal!
His center of gravity suddenly stopped and he turned back to save the ball. Obviously, he was unable to save to the limit, and at the same time, his landing speed was not enough.
Samuel rushed toward the goal and threw a tackle in an attempt to make a maximum clearance.
However, the football still took the lead and rolled into the goal near the left goal post. Samuel's flying tackle followed the football into the goal!
Shen Hao immediately paid attention to the linesman's movements and stared blankly at the linesman.
It seems like time has become longer.
Until it is confirmed that the linesman did not raise the flag, the referee blows the whistle and puts his finger in the circle to indicate that the goal is valid.
Shen Hao then gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, closed his eyes and vibrated up and down repeatedly.
The players on the Leeds United bench and the coach rushed to the sidelines together, and the players rushed along the sidelines to find Royce!
Royce looked very calm, and even the smile on his face when he ran to the sideline was very charming but lacked passion and domineering.
But his smile in the camera makes his handsome face seem to have a charm that captivates all living beings.
Great beauty!
He kept walking, ran to the bottom corner of the court, then turned and rushed towards Shen Hao, with his teammates chasing him.
Finally, when he was about to rush in front of Shen Hao, Shen Hao took the initiative to greet him with open arms, and the master and apprentice staged a passionate embrace running in both directions!
Then he was submerged in the sea of people gathered by Leeds United players and coaches.
The Leeds United fans in the Bernabeu stands were so excited that some even cried with joy!
It's not easy!
It’s almost 120 minutes.
As the European hegemons, they finally scored!
On the other hand, Inter Milan fans were completely stunned and stunned.
Some people didn't realize it themselves, and they burst into tears, and their vision was blurred by tears before they realized it.
Finished!
Including the Inter Milan generals on the field, they were obviously at a loss at this time.
The impact of losing the ball made them almost breathless and out of breath!
