Episode [236]: Adapt to Changing Circumstances and Get Better.

quick!

It's really too fast!

To be honest, both Marquez and Pique are currently close to Diego Milito. They rush a little higher, which makes the wing seem very empty.

Usually these two ribs are given to Puyol and Pique. Because Diego Milito suddenly intercepted the ball, Pique moved forward to intercept Diego Milito. Unexpectedly, Diego Milito directly stuffed the football diagonally to the wide position behind them.

Originally, Cristiano Ronaldo was still very far away from them. But in a few breaths Cristiano Ronaldo rushed over quickly.

too fast.

Pique was stunned to see it!

The fans from Barcelona who came all the way were dumbfounded and very surprised.

"Danger! Hurry back and defend!" On the sidelines, Comrade Guardiola couldn't calm down and immediately shouted to the players in the stadium.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo is really too fast. No matter Pique, Marquez or Puyol, they can't catch up at all!

"One-on-one, Leeds United has one-on-one, great opportunity!" BBC commentator Eddie Gray roared excitedly, Leeds United's opportunity has come.

Now, Barcelona's hopes are all on goalkeeper Valdes.

Faced with such an opportunity, Valdes could only rush out quickly and pounce on Cristiano Ronaldo who was carrying the ball.

But he was still a little far away from Cristiano Ronaldo. When he was waiting for Valdez to save, Cristiano Ronaldo directly challenged and shot.

To be honest, this shot is still very difficult, and the intensity must be controlled very carefully.

"Picker, Cristiano Ronaldo kicks!" Eddie Gray roared excitedly. If this goal is scored, it will be really important for Leeds United.

The football jumped up quickly, crossing over Valdez's head like a rainbow, and the football quickly fell towards the empty goal behind Valdez.

"The ball is in, the ball is in, the ball is in, the ball is in, the ball is in, the ball is in, the ball is in!" Eddie Gray roared excitedly, "The goal is -"

The Leeds United fans at the scene immediately roared in unison: "Cristiano~~~~~~~Ronaldo!"

The entire Crown Stadium exploded in an instant, just like the accumulated volcanic lava, bursting out instantly, rising into the sky, dyeing the entire Leeds red.

"The ball is in, the ball is in! Cristiano Ronaldo has scored, Leeds United is ahead of Barcelona. One to zero, the UEFA Champions League final is beckoning to Leeds United, Leeds United are awesome!" Mark Lawrenson Also roaring excitedly.

At this time, the Leeds United fans were really excited. Everyone was very, very excited. They hugged each other and cheered enthusiastically.

On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng waved his fist excitedly. The game started very well.

"In the 16th minute of the first half, the home team Leeds United scored. Leeds United took the lead over Barcelona. Let us congratulate Leeds United. They are one step closer to the UEFA Champions League final. Perfect!" Eddie Gray was very excited.

Eddie Gray can see that it is a bit difficult for Barcelona to win this game. Leeds United's defense restrained Barcelona's offense. If Barcelona is at this level, Leeds United will definitely win. .

However, Zhong Cheng's brows on the sidelines did frown.

Zhong Cheng's eyes were fixed on the referee Tom Herning in the stadium. Could this guy start to do evil things like he did in another time and space?

Zhong Cheng didn't know, but Zhong Cheng was rather worried.

Zhong Cheng has paid too much for this UEFA Champions League. Now Zhong Cheng does not want to be eliminated at this time. Leeds United's goal is to win the UEFA Champions League.

The game continued, and Zhong Cheng stared at Tom Herning vaguely.

Inside the stadium, Barcelona has obviously stepped up the pace of the game.

Guardiola knows the importance of this game, and he also knows very well that the current situation has not actually worsened. They can still eliminate Leeds United as long as they score one goal. So, this is not the worst situation, Barcelona just needs one goal now.

Inside the stadium, Barcelona's offense is very fierce.

Of course, their tactical characteristic is still to control the ball and then control the ball. They firmly controlled the football at their feet, and then the players in the frontcourt weaved in and out wildly, running back and forth, tearing apart Leeds United's defense in search of gaps.

However, Leeds United's defense has always been very intact, and it is difficult for Barcelona to tear apart Leeds United's defense. Therefore, Guardiola signaled the players to send the football more to Leo Messi's feet, allowing Leo Messi to break through with the ball and break through Leeds United's defense.

"Wow! Messi! Leo Messi is here. This guy is like a little flea. He is very difficult to deal with. He is about to break through. It's dangerous!" Eddie Gray was very nervous.

Leo Messi watched Gareth Bale in front of him continuously shaking his upper body from side to side. Suddenly, a ball passed directly past Gareth Bale, and then he quickly made a horizontal dunk directly to the middle of the penalty area.

The Leeds United fans at the scene immediately exclaimed and secretly said it was dangerous.

Leo Messi's combination of man and ball is really, really good. It's the only one on this planet right now. It's really perfect.

Moreover, Leo Messi is very flexible and can drill in and out of the crowd, which is very lethal.

With a bang, Seydo Keita knocked Leo Messi to the ground.

Leo Messina's small body fell directly to the side and fell hard on the turf.

"Butcher! You damn rubbish butcher, go to hell. Kill him, give him a red card, send him off with a red card, you damn rubbish!" Barcelona fans from afar criticized crazily.

Zhong Cheng's heart tightened and his eyes were fixed on Tom Herning. Is this guy going to take action?

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with Seydou Keita this time. This is a reasonable collision. It's just that Messi's body was too thin and he was knocked over directly, and the fall was quite hard. Therefore, it looks like he has been violated.

Here, Seydou Keita thought he had not committed a foul, caught up with the football, and immediately passed it to Gareth Bale. Gareth Bale was preparing to speed up and attack Barcelona's defense line.

beep!

As expected, the referee Tom Herning blew his whistle, indicating that Seydou Keita had committed a foul, and awarded Barcelona a direct free kick in the frontcourt that was not in a particularly good position and was slightly too far away.

Okay, Seydu Keita is very unconvinced. This is not a foul in the first place. Why should it be fouled? Did Leeds United lose a very, very good counterattack opportunity?

Tom Herning immediately walked towards Seydou Keita and verbally warned Seydou Keita that if he talks nonsense again, he will be given a card. The Barcelona fans at the scene were shouting loudly: "Red card, red card, send him off, send him off, rubbish!"

Zhong Cheng immediately came to the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Sedu, don't argue, defend well, don't give him any excuses, do you understand?"

Seydu Keita heard Zhong Cheng's shouting. He nodded slightly and said, "I know, boss!"

Seydou Keita then retreated to defend.

At this moment, Barcelona immediately took a direct free kick. The football flew out diagonally and directly to the back of the far end of the penalty area. Pique jumped high and sailed the football directly to the center.

"Thierry Henry, danger!" Eddie Gray suddenly exclaimed wildly.

In the middle of the penalty area, Thierry Henry swung his leg directly and fired a volley. With a bang, the football flew towards the Leeds United goal.

All the Leeds United fans at the scene were heartbroken and almost stopped.

The football roared towards the upper right corner of the Leeds United goal, but unfortunately it was a little higher and the football flew out of the baseline.

"Wow! It's just a little bit close. Henry is really still young! Leeds United must pay attention to their defense. They must not be given such a chance again, otherwise it will be very dangerous!" Eddie Gray said immediately, It's a near miss.

Yes, Barcelona's attack was really dangerous, just a little bit close.

This was Leeds United's best chance so far in the first half of the game, but unfortunately the Barcelona people were a little bit unlucky.

Three minutes later, Barcelona midfielder Xavi suddenly sent a very beautiful long diagonal pass, directly sending the football to the feet of Eto'o who was pulled to the wing. Eto'o's connecting movement was very fast. He didn't give the Leeds United defensive players a chance at all. He went directly inwards horizontally, opened up a little space, and shot directly from the front of the penalty area.

With a bang, the football roared towards the far corner of the Leeds United goal.

The ball was very fast, like a bolt of lightning, and very dangerous. All the Leeds United fans at the scene screamed nervously.

Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, Zhong Zheng rushed to the goal and directly swatted the football out of the baseline with one palm, making a miraculous save.

Corner kick, Barcelona won a corner kick.

Xavi passed the football into the Leeds United penalty area with a curved kick. Kompany jumped up high and pushed the football over Pique's head. The football flew outside the penalty area, and Iniesta, who was lurking here, shot the ball without stopping. The football flew into the sky.

Barcelona's offense has improved from time to time, and it is gradually able to threaten Leeds United's goal.

Zhong Cheng frowned, this was not going to work.

Zhong Cheng immediately signaled the Leeds United players to tighten their defense and defend more closely, and no matter how intense they were, they would never give the Barcelona people a chance.

After that, Barcelona's players still worked very hard, but the opportunities obviously became less and less. Leeds United still leads by one goal. Now the Barcelona players are a little anxious. If this continues, will Barcelona be doomed?

At this moment, the referee Tom Herning immediately blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.

Yes, the first half is over and Leeds United are one goal ahead.

Barcelona's players should be more anxious now, because not only are they lagging behind, but they also don't have many excellent opportunities. If this continues, Barcelona will really be in danger.
