Episode [412]: Be Confident and Have the Winning Ticket
One to two, less than five minutes into the second half, the Estudiantes of La Plata got a goal back.
This is beyond the expectations of many people.
Everyone thought that the Estudiantes of La Plata was doomed!
No one expected that after half the game, the opponent would be so tough. They gave Leeds United a sap as soon as they came up.
But for those neutral fans, this game will be better to watch.
Of course, for the players of the Estudiantes of La Plata, this is their opportunity. They are very excited about their opportunity to defeat Leeds United.
The Leeds United players didn't react too encouragingly.
This goal was a surprise for the Leeds United people. If the direction had not changed midway, the ball would not have entered the Leeds United goal at all.
Zhong Zheng is so powerful, who can break the goal he is guarding?
As long as Zhong Zheng is there, the Estudiantes of La Plata will not even think about breaking Leeds United's goal. The winner of this game is still Leeds United.
At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench could not sit down.
He came to Zhong Cheng and said: "Boss, let me play. I'm fine, and I also hope to maintain my condition through the game!"
Zhong Cheng turned to look at Cristiano Ronaldo, and then asked: "Is your injury really okay? We can win this game!"
Cristiano Ronaldo said: "Yes, it's okay!"
After a pause, Cristiano Ronaldo continued: "Yes, I don't doubt that we can win this game, but I hope to get back to form through the game, because soon we will go back to Leeds and play in the league. !”
Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, Cristiano Ronaldo was right.
Zhong Cheng said directly: "Okay, let's go and warm up. I'll be back in five minutes!"
Cristiano Ronaldo nodded slightly to Zhong Cheng, then immediately took off his jacket and ran to the sideline to warm up.
Cristiano Ronaldo's warm-up attracted the attention of everyone present and paid attention.
The cameras on the sidelines were all focused on Cristiano Ronaldo. This battle was really too big.
Sabella also saw Cristiano Ronaldo warming up, and his heart tightened. If Cristiano Ronaldo played, the game would be even more difficult!
At this moment, Sabella reminded the Estudiantes players to continue attacking and try to score and equalize the score before Cristiano Ronaldo came on.
The players of the La Plata University Team were also very nervous, attacking and besieging them like crazy.
Leeds United's defense is very tight, and all players are trying their best to defend.
The attack of the La Plata University students was really fierce. They pressed forward across the board and their numerical advantage was too great.
At this time, there were too many people in the Leeds United penalty area and it was crowded.
Suddenly, Veron made a diagonal sweep from the edge of the penalty area and swept the football straight towards Kyle Walker's right arm in the penalty area.
Veron intentionally sent the football directly to Kyle Walker's arm.
At this time, Kyle Walker's shortcomings of inexperience were exposed again. If he put his arm close to his body or behind his back at this time, he would never be called a penalty kick. But at this time, his arms were open and it was too late to retract them.
A penalty kick was awarded by the referee.
Sabella was very excited and jumped up on the sidelines, celebrating crazily.
Kyle Walker was very upset. He immediately rushed to the referee and explained to the referee that he did not intentionally want the handball. It was Veron who deliberately aimed at his right arm and passed the ball. This was not a penalty kick.
Unfortunately, the referee didn't pay attention at all and awarded a penalty kick directly.
Kyle Walker was very depressed and unconvinced.
However, there was a basis for the penalty kick. They had no choice but to accept it.
Veron went to the penalty spot, and he was so surprised that he had to take the penalty himself.
Veron is very experienced. Facing a goalkeeper like Zhong Zheng who performed astonishingly, he remained calm and calm. After hearing the whistle, he directly gave the most tricky angle and sent the football into the Leeds United goal.
Zhong Zheng judged the right direction and made a very quick save. Unfortunately, the angle of the ball was too tricky.
Two to two, the La Plata University team equalized the score.
Sabella was very excited, very excited. But he was also very worried because Leeds United replaced Cristiano Ronaldo.
At the same time, Sabella knew very well that there would be disunity in the Universidad de La Plata team's thinking at this time. Yes, this is what worries him the most.
When falling behind, everyone must have the same idea, which is to attack fiercely.
But now that it's even, the players may not necessarily have the same ideas. Some people may want to take advantage of the victory and score another goal to overtake the score and win the game. Some people think that Leeds United is very strong and has equalized the score. At this time, they should defend to ensure the average, and then go directly to the penalty shootout.
Yes, lack of unity of thought has become the biggest problem.
In fact, Sabella was very hesitant at this time, whether to attack or defend.
In terms of offense, the Estudiantes of La Plata are in good shape now and have full offensive power. But in this case, the defense will have very big loopholes. Leeds United are good at counterattacks, and they also lined up Cristiano Ronaldo. If they continue to attack, they will probably be blown away.
In terms of defense, Sabella feels it is a pity. Their current state is very, very good. If they continue to attack, they may really have a chance to defeat Leeds United directly.
What to do?
Sabella now no longer had the decisiveness she had before.
However, Sabella knew very well that at this time, it was more important to make a decisive decision.
If you hesitate, something big will happen, so I didn’t think much about it. Sabella followed the first thought in her mind and gave the order - attack!
Keep attacking!
What Argentines are most familiar with in football is offense, and they just love offense. And the current state is so good, not attacking is simply a waste, a huge waste.
To be honest, Sabella still wants to win, desperately wants to win. He believes that now is the opportunity for his Estudiantes team to attack.
The La Plata University students continued their crazy attack, besieging Leeds United's goal.
To be honest, this caused great trouble for Leeds United's defense. Leeds United's goal was in danger. But at this time, the Leeds United players were still defending tenaciously and defending seriously and desperately.
"Intercept, intercept, the other side is about to pass!" Kompany shouted immediately.
"Go up and block one, take a long shot from the other side!" David Luiz roared.
"Mine, this person is mine, leave it to me!" Sami Khedira rushed out quickly and made a sliding tackle.
"Stop him, go up to him, don't give him room to shoot!" Zhong Zheng roared loudly.
…
During this period, Leeds United players were defending desperately. It seems that their offense is gone. Estudiantes of La Plata is completely in the initiative and Leeds United is dangerous.
The Leeds United fans were very nervous, but Zhong Cheng still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without any reaction at all. He just sat there quietly. This made Sabella, who was paying close attention to him, feel confused. What on earth is crazy Loya going to do?
Sabella really couldn't figure it out at all. She couldn't figure out what Zhong Cheng was thinking?
At this moment, Veron sent a very exquisite through ball in the stadium, and the Estudiantes of La Plata was about to turn defeat into victory and take the lead.
Poselli was very excited and rushed out quickly towards the football.
But Zhong Zheng rushed out quickly, slid over with his whole body, took the lead, and held the football in his arms. Zhong Zheng, who was lying on the ground, did not get up and immediately threw the football to the side. Patrick Evra on the side directly made a big-footed long pass and passed the football to the front court.
Counterattack, Leeds United's counterattack!
Sabella's hair stood on end immediately, and she was so frightened that she almost couldn't help but scream.
Because Sabella saw Cristiano Ronaldo running wildly on the wing, rushing forward quickly, rushing in the direction of the falling football.
All the Estudiantes fans at the scene felt despair.
Because when the La Plata Estudiantes attacked, the entire team overwhelmed the half court, including the defense. When Patrick Evra made a long pass, Cristiano Ronaldo was ambushing behind the center line, and there was no such thing as offside.
"It's a one-shot, Cristiano Ronaldo's a one-shot!" Eddie Gray was very, very excited, very, very excited.
All the Leeds United fans in the audience howled with excitement, cheered for Cristiano Ronaldo and shouted wildly.
Patrick Evra's long pass was also very accurate, giving the opponent's Estudiantes goalkeeper no chance at all. The ball was easily offloaded by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Behind Cristiano Ronaldo are the players of Estudiantes of La Plata running wildly in pursuit. They gritted their teeth and tried their best, but they were getting further and further away from Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo is so fast.
The goalkeeper of Estudiantes of La Plata rushed out, rushed out crazily, and rushed out quickly before Cristiano Ronaldo could unload the football. He wanted to get ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo. Clear the football.
Unfortunately, he thought too much!
Seeing Alwell, the goalkeeper of Estudiantes of La Plata, rushing out, Cristiano Ronaldo did not hesitate at all. The unloaded football immediately bounced off the ground, and Cristiano Ronaldo took advantage of the situation and kicked it.
With a bang, Cristiano Ronaldo hit the bottom of the football. The football flew upwards diagonally, quickly towards the front court, and then fell quickly towards the empty goal of the Estudiantes of La Plata.
At this time, Alwell was very regretful, regretting why he had attacked so early.
At this time, Alwell had no chance and could only watch the football fall into the empty goal of the Estudiantes of La Plata.
Three to two!
