Episode【447】: Neither Arrogant nor Impatient, Strong Team Temperament

One to zero, not long after the game started, Manchester United took the lead.

Taking the lead at home, the situation is now serious.

Albertini sat on the sidelines, frowning, even a little restless. This is a really bad start, very dangerous.

Zhong Cheng, on the other hand, was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, very calm.

The game has just begun, there is no rush now. As long as the Leeds United players remain stable and are not affected by this ball, it's really hard to predict the rest of the game.

Zhong Cheng stood up, came to the sidelines, and signaled the Leeds United players to stabilize, not to pay too much attention to this unexpected situation, and to play well in the next game.

Although the Leeds United players are young, they have experienced a lot over the years. Therefore, they are still relatively mature at this time. Although they lost the ball, they did not panic and were very calm.

After all, the game has just begun, and they still have plenty of time to recover the ball.

It is better to concede at the beginning than to concede towards the end, because they still have plenty of time to change the final result of the game.

Conceding the goal at the start is not the worst thing.

The Leeds United players were very calm, as if there was no goal, they were still playing the game in an orderly manner.

"Wow, Leeds United really exceeded everyone's expectations. They are very mature and did not panic because of the goal. On the contrary, they were very calm and went step by step. This Leeds United team is very powerful. Yes, it should be very difficult for Manchester United to defeat them!" Eddie Gray said immediately.

Mark Lawrenson also nodded slightly, knowing that Eddie Gray was right. The temperament displayed by Leeds United is indeed a very obvious temperament of a strong team, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and calm in times of crisis. It seems that Leeds United players have grown a lot over the years.

However, Leeds United fans were very anxious and nervous at this time.

After all, Leeds United is lagging behind now, and their opponent is the Red Devils Manchester United. They are one goal behind. This gap is very big.

The Leeds United fans were cheering for Leeds United and shouting loudly. But their voices were quickly drowned out by the voices of Manchester United fans.

Zhong Cheng is very calm. Now Zhong Cheng wants to see how Manchester United plays.

After a dream start, will Manchester United change their tactics? Will they attack as hard as before? Or did you switch directly to defensive counterattack?

No, United have no choice in either.

Manchester United still wants to attack, but it is obviously much calmer and not as fierce as before. Of course, there is no retreat and counterattack. The Manchester United people are now stabilizing and will not take too many risks. Naturally, they will not all switch to defense.

Zhong Cheng understood that this was the original plan of the Manchester United people.

If the Manchester United people want stability, the Leeds United people will naturally not give them this stability.

Zhong Cheng immediately came to the sidelines and waved his hand, signaling the Leeds United players to attack quickly.

Yes, Zhong Cheng hopes that Leeds United can pick up the pace. Once the pace picks up, the Manchester United players cannot be steady even if they want to.

"Leeds United has accelerated the tempo of the game. It can be seen that they hope to equalize the score as soon as possible. After all, they are facing the Red Devils Manchester United. The longer the time is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for them!" Mark Lawrenson said.

"I think Leeds United did this because they don't want Manchester United to be so stable. The Leeds United people want to disrupt Manchester United's rhythm, so that Leeds United will have a chance!" Bian Yuqing said.

Mark Lawrenson and Eddie Gray both turned to look at Bian Yuqing. They nodded slightly, thinking that what Bian Yuqing said made sense.

At this moment, the Leeds United players in the stadium obviously stepped up their attacking pace.

With a bang, Cristiano Ronaldo ran directly over Franck Ribery and rushed towards the Manchester United defense.

"Beautiful! Cristiano Ronaldo's beautiful breakthrough. This time Leeds United people are really ruthless. Cristiano Ronaldo is coming fiercely, and Frank Ribery can't hold it back. It's dangerous!" Mark Lowe Renson shouted.

The Manchester United fans at the scene burst out into screams of terror.

It turned out that Cristiano Ronaldo looked at Chimbanda in front of him and suddenly passed the ball directly past Chimbanda.

Chimbanda is gradually not adapting to the rhythm of Manchester United. If there is any position in Manchester United that is worse, it is Chimbanda's position.

Chimbunda became Manchester United's weakness, and Leeds United took advantage of this weakness to attack crazily.

However, the strongest left back of Manchester United is Chimbanda. If it were anyone else, he would not be as good as Chimbanda.

Therefore, the Manchester United people can only endure it at this time. Alex Ferguson reminded other Manchester United players to pay attention to the protection of Chimbonda.

Cristiano Ronaldo got rid of Chimbanda's defense and immediately entered the Manchester United penalty area. Manchester United centre-back Nemanja Vidic immediately stepped forward to intercept Cristiano Ronaldo.

Vidic's defense was very sound. He guarded the inside and prevented Cristiano Ronaldo from cutting in. At the same time, he blocked the space for Cristiano Ronaldo's shot.

Chimbanda also turned around immediately and rushed towards Cristiano Ronaldo quickly.

Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly knocked the football to the side with his heel. Leeds United full-back Lichtsteiner rushed up and passed the ball without stopping. With a bang, the football flew in quickly. Manchester United's penalty area.

"Lichtsteiner crosses!" Eddie Gray roared excitedly.

The football drew a wonderful arc, directly over the head of Rio Ferdinand and flew towards the rushing Lewandowski.

Lewandowski jumped up high and smashed the football with his head.

"Lewandowski headed the goal!" Eddie Gray jumped up. He headed the goal from the front of the small penalty area. What a great opportunity it was. It was a must-goal.

The Leeds United fans at the scene immediately stood up, raised their hands excitedly, and were ready to cheer.

Snapped! Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar immediately jumped out and pushed the football out of the bottom line with one palm.

"Oh, what a pity! The football was saved by Edwin van der Sar, a beautiful save. Van der Sar's reaction was really unparalleled. It was amazing. It was amazing!" Mark Lawrenson shouted excitedly.

The fans of Manchester United exhaled a breath of turbidity, danger!

It was really dangerous just now. Cristiano Ronaldo was causing a bloody storm on their left wing. The left wing can't withstand Cristiano Ronaldo's attack.

Alex Ferguson immediately waved his hand, signaling the Manchester United players to focus their defense on the left and be sure to strangle Cristiano Ronaldo.

Corner kick, Leeds United won a corner kick.

Mesut Ozil of Leeds United came to the corner kick and took the corner kick.

With a bang, Mesut Ozil made a diagonal pass and passed the football directly out of the penalty area. The football flew to the front of the penalty area. Gareth Bale, who was ambushing at the edge of the penalty area, suddenly picked up a kick and hit the flying football hard.

"Gareth Bale's heavy shot from long range!" Eddie Gray roared excitedly.

All the Manchester United fans at the scene burst out into screams of horror and regret.

Gareth Bale hit the football hard with a loud bang, and the football immediately flew towards the Manchester United goal like a shell.

The speed of the ball was too fast, and some people in front of the goal did not see the trajectory of the ball clearly.

With a bang, the football hit Carrick hard in the penalty area, then quickly changed the line and popped out of the baseline.

Gareth Bale immediately raised his right hand and signaled to the referee Howard Webb: "Handball, Carrick deliberately handballed it, this is a penalty!"

In the penalty area, Lewandowski also raised his right hand high to signal that Manchester United's Carrick had handballed the ball. He was standing next to Carrick, and he saw very clearly that it was a handball, an intentional handball.

The surrounding Leeds United players raised their hands to signal to the referee Howard Webb that the Manchester United player really had a handball and this should be a penalty kick.

"This is a handball, this is definitely a handball, we can see clearly, this should be a penalty kick!" Eddie Gray said excitedly immediately.

Yes, looking at the shot just now, they could clearly see that this was indeed Carrick deliberately opening his arms to block the football. This should indeed be a penalty kick.

At this time, even Mark Lawrenson, who was on the side of Manchester United, had nothing to say. This is a penalty kick, no doubt a penalty kick.

On the sidelines, Zhong Cheng also stood up and rushed to the sidelines, staring closely at the stadium, observing the situation of the game.

This really should be a penalty kick.

The Leeds United fans at the scene also wanted to put pressure on referee Howard Webb. The Manchester United fans naturally criticized the Leeds United people crazily. These damn guys know how to take penalty kicks and have no ability at all.

The referee Howard Webb frowned slightly. He didn't see it clearly because his position was not very good. He did not make a hasty judgment, and then he went directly to the sidelines and discussed it with the linesman on the better side to see if the linesman could see clearly?

Seeing this, the Leeds United players immediately rushed over and put pressure on the referee and linesman. Referee Howard Webb immediately ejected the Leeds and Manchester United players and then consulted carefully with the linesman.

"It seems that Howard Webber didn't see the ball clearly. I don't know if the linesman saw it clearly. This is indeed a penalty kick. Leeds United has a chance to equalize the score!" Mark Lawrenson said.

However, at this moment, referee Howard Webb signaled Leeds United to take a corner kick. This was not a penalty kick.

Suddenly everyone in Leeds United stopped doing anything. How could this be a corner kick? It's a penalty!

Cristiano Ronaldo immediately rushed forward and roared at Howard Webb: "This is a handball, this should be a penalty kick, do you know about the penalty kick? Are you blind?"

Howard Webber immediately took out a yellow card from his jacket pocket and showed it to Cristiano Ronaldo, yellow card!

Howard Webber cautions Cristiano Ronaldo with a yellow card.
