Episode [500]: The Premier League Championship Dream Is Shattered
Uh-huh!
The football flew into the goal quickly, hit the net, rotated rapidly and rubbed against the net, making a clear friction sound.
All the Liverpool fans at the scene raised their hands and cheered enthusiastically!
"Beautiful! Beautiful! 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!" The commentator of Liverpool Sports jumped up excitedly and roared crazily.
In the stadium, the Liverpool players rushed towards Steven Gerrard crazily.
"Beautiful heavy shot! Steven Gerrard shot directly from 35 meters away from the goal, blasting away the Leeds United goal, perfect!" Mark Lawrenson also roared excitedly .
Because this ball is indeed very exciting, it is a super world wave.
The football ball is very fast, just like a missile coming out of the barrel. And the angle was very tricky, flying directly into the upper right corner of the goal.
In front of the goal, Zhong Zheng reacted immediately and flew out immediately.
However, Zhong Zheng has tried his best and done the best he can. However, he still didn't touch the football because the angle from which Gerrard shot the ball was too tricky.
The football flew from the lower edge of the intersection between the counter and the post and into the Leeds United goal.
The Leeds United fans at the scene were stunned!
This kick is really a miracle. If Steven Gerrard is asked to do a hundred kicks, he may not be able to score another goal like this.
Luck, Leeds United's luck is really bad.
"Zero to two, Leeds United conceded another goal in the 29th minute of the first half and fell behind the home team Liverpool 0 to 2. Leeds United has encountered an unprecedented crisis..." Eddie Gray immediately exclaimed loudly.
The faces of the Leeds United fans at the scene were very ugly. How could this match be like this?
When did Liverpool become so good?
Not long after the game started, Liverpool scored a goal. It was a shot from Fernando Torres in the penalty area from a cross from winger Ryan Babel.
David Luiz, who was in the front line, missed his header when clearing the ball. Fernando Torres, who was in the back line, fired directly sideways and swept the ball into the Leeds United goal.
Leeds United trailed 2-0.
In another venue, Chelsea led Tottenham Hotspur 1-0.
Crisis, unprecedented crisis.
A veteran like Albertini felt very nervous at this time, his palms began to sweat, and he was dripping with cold sweat.
Albertini immediately turned his head, stared at Zhong Cheng, and said, "Boss, what should we do?"
Zhong Cheng's face was also gloomy and a little ugly.
However, fortunately, Zhong Cheng did not panic. He said: "The half of the game is not over yet, so there is no rush now. Let our players stabilize first. We must not concede any more goals before the end of the first half."
Albertini nodded immediately and walked out quickly.
Zhong Cheng immediately shouted: "Demi, slow down, I have something else to say!"
Albertini was stunned for a moment, then rushed out quickly, came to Zhong Cheng's side, and said, "Boss, is there anything else you want to give me?"
Zhong Cheng immediately said: "Let all our players withdraw and defend, waiting to see if there is a chance to counterattack. At this time, don't take the initiative to attack, just wait for the opportunity to counterattack!"
Alberti understood, and immediately walked out and shouted into the stadium, roaring loudly, conveying the tactical arrangements of head coach Zhong Cheng to the Leeds United players.
At this time, although the Leeds United players are not panicked yet, they are still a little unstable.
After hearing Albertini's cry, the Leeds United players nodded one after another. They all understood Zhong Cheng's intention. Because they have worked with Zhong Cheng for a long time, do they know what to do next?
The Leeds players immediately pulled back.
The Liverpool team didn't know Leeds United's tactics before, but after playing for a while, they understood that Leeds United was going to defend and counterattack.
Hodgson on the sidelines also understood. He immediately came to the sidelines to remind the Liverpool players. Now that they have two goals in hand, there is no need to rush.
At this time, it was impossible to give Leeds United a chance to counterattack.
At this time, Hodgson still has no intention of looking down on Leeds United. Because Leeds United is very strong, they led by two goals in this game. However, both of their goals had some luck involved.
Hodgson doesn't think their Liverpool team is that much better than Leeds United.
Therefore, Hodgson immediately called on the Liverpool players to stop attacking and not give Leeds United a chance to counterattack. Leeds United's counterattack was too fierce and they could not withstand it.
Therefore, in the last period of the first half, the court was calm, and neither team made an attack. Many people watched in confusion. After all, this is not the time for a draw. If it were like this during a draw, it would make sense. But now Leeds United are two goals behind!
The Leeds United fans immediately shouted wildly, cheering for Leeds United, hoping that the Leeds United players could become stronger, rush out, and win the game.
But until the end of the first half, Leeds United failed to score. The final time of the first half was wasted like this. Leeds United fans didn't quite understand Zhong Cheng's tactics.
Even Eddie Gray didn't understand Zhong Cheng's intention. What was this for? waste time?
At the end of the first half, Leeds United trailed Liverpool 0-2.
Leeds United fans couldn't believe it was happening.
Leeds United is actually trailing Liverpool 0-2 at this time. Is this still the Leeds United they are familiar with? What is even more worrying is that Chelsea leads Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 away from home. If both games end with this score, Leeds United will be finished.
During the halftime break, Zhong Cheng laid out the tactics for the second half of the game in detail to the Leeds United players. At this moment, the mood of the Leeds United players changed and their morale was high.
In the second half of the game, they were confident of winning the game.
As soon as the second half started, Leeds United controlled the rhythm of the game and attacked frantically.

The Leeds United fans at the scene were very excited, jumping excitedly, roaring crazily, shouting loudly, supporting Leeds United.
"Cristiano Ronaldo cut in and hit the goal... Oh, what a pity!" Eddie Gray exclaimed.

"Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity. Now Leeds United is really in a good position and can't score. If this continues, Leeds United will be finished!" Eddie Gray was very nervous.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng immediately made a substitution, replacing Lichtsteiner on the wing with Edinson Cavani, strengthening the attack. Yes, Zhong Cheng was willing to risk everything. In this game, Leeds United absolutely cannot lose.
After Edinson Cavani came on the field, the Leeds United players were very, very excited. They all jumped up and attacked crazily.
But time is running out, and the hearts of Leeds United fans have hit rock bottom.
The Leeds United players did not give up and attacked like crazy.
In the second half of the game, Leeds United continuously besieged Liverpool's goal and got many good opportunities. But the Liverpool people were so lucky that Leeds United failed to score.

Leeds United must equalize the score as soon as possible, or even take the lead. But now there is not much time left for the Leeds United players, and the game has now entered injury time.
Leeds United fans were very worried, and many of them were even in tears.
No, Leeds United must not lose, they must not lose. Come on Leeds United, Leeds United will win.
The Leeds United players were also very aggressive, pressing across the board to attack Liverpool's goal. The Liverpool fans were also in a precarious state, as if they were going to be breached at the next moment, but the Liverpool goal was not lost.
At the last moment, Cristiano Ronaldo got a very, very good opportunity.
