Episode [164]: Waiting for Work with Leisure Is Not a Good Thing!
At the end of the first half, Leeds United temporarily led 1-0.
At this time, the Liverpool fans at the scene were still silent in the depression of Bellamy's shot that was close at hand just now, which was really disappointing.
Now the Liverpool fans haven't pulled out of it yet.
Of course, Bellamy herself was the most disappointed. He himself didn't grasp such an opportunity, and he blamed himself very much, really!
If it weren't for him, Liverpool would have leveled the score now.
Back in the locker room, Bellamy was in a low mood, and Benitez comforted him, telling him to relax, forget about his performance in the first half and work hard in the second half.
For the Leeds United team, Zhong Cheng naturally reminded the Leeds United players not to take it lightly. This game must be won, which is very important to the Leeds United team.
Zhong Cheng meant that in the second half of the game, Leeds United should not aim to expand their lead. First of all, we must do a good job of defense. Although Liverpool players have some problems, their strength is still very strong. They still caused them a lot of trouble in the first half of the game. In the second half of the game, we must strengthen our defense. Absolutely Don't underestimate your opponent.
Just after the start of the second half, Liverpool launched a very sharp attack, which confirmed Zhong Cheng's statement. If it weren't for Crouch's shooting action being a little slower, Leeds United's goal would have been broken.
Fortunately, Pique stretched his leg and poked a kick at the last moment, which resolved the crisis.
Benitez on the sidelines was so annoyed that he held his head in his hands and kept shaking his head back and forth. This is really regrettable.
The Liverpool team created many good opportunities today, but they all had problems at critical moments.
Does this mean that the Liverpool people are unlucky today?
No!
So many good opportunities have problems at the most critical moments. This can only show that Leeds United's defense is very good. This is definitely not luck.
Benitez frowned, this game made him a little worried.
The game was still going on on the pitch. At this time, Luis Garcia from the wing suddenly made a diagonal pass and passed the football into the Leeds United penalty area.
The pass seemed innocuous, but it spun directly to Crouch in the penalty area.
However, it was a bit difficult for Crouch to handle the ball. If he headed the ball directly, the ball would be a little short, and he might not be able to hit it even if he lowered his head. But if the ball is shot directly with the leg, the height is a bit high, which is difficult to handle.
The ball was passed to Crouch's chest height, which made Crouch very uncomfortable.
The fans of the ion pair breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. The ball was not a threat at all.
Because, if Crouch doesn't directly shoot the goal immediately, but stops the football, there is no threat, because Pique and Kompany have already caught up, and he will definitely be caught by this as soon as he stops the ball. The two wrecked.
Crouch had only one choice, and that was to shoot the goal immediately, otherwise he would have no chance.
At this moment, Crouch's head was very clear, he knew what he should do?
Seeing the football flying over, Crouch immediately turned around and turned his back to the Leeds United goal. Then with a jump of both legs, the whole body quickly leaned back, and a scissor kick came directly from both legs, and the kick slammed towards the flying football.
Upside down golden hook!
A big man over two meters unexpectedly came with an upside-down golden hook!
Everyone at the scene was stunned. They knew that Crouch was a very flexible guy, and they knew that Crouch was a guy with excellent foot skills, but they really didn't expect that Crouch could still come barb.
"Oh my god, Crouch hangs upside down!" Mark Lawrenson jumped up from his seat and roared wildly.
With a bang, Crouch hooked the football firmly with one kick, and he got the spot right. The football flew towards the goal of Leeds United.
The speed of the ball is very fast, and it is very difficult to judge the route of this kind of upside-down golden hook. Who knows what his route is for this kind of unconventional shot?
The faces of the Leeds United fans at the scene were ashen, and each one was terrified to the extreme.
Zhong Cheng on the sidelines also frowned slightly, but he was not shocked. Coming from a later life, he has naturally seen Crouch's upside-down golden hook, and more than once, and this guy has also entered such an upside-down golden hook several times. This is really not an ordinary tall guy.
With a whoosh, the football flew towards the goal of Leeds United like a bolt of lightning.
Almost all the Leeds United fans at the scene were wailing in their hearts: "It's over!"
At this moment, Zhong Zhengtu in front of the goal took off like a roc spreading its wings, and made a move to block out the sky. With a bang, Zhong Zheng's palm touched the football, and with a bang, the football hit the crossbar of the goal hard, and then bounced off the baseline!
"Wow! Fantastic save, Aldridge, Aldridge is so awesome. Aldridge is perfect, long live Aldridge!" Eddie Gray changed into the most loyal fan at this time, screaming crazily , the voice was trembling.
All the Leeds United fans at the scene screamed frantically, slapped their chests frantically, and shouted Zhong Zheng's name excitedly, applauding Zhong Zheng!
The Liverpool fans were stunned and couldn't believe it. Crouch's goal has been completed perfectly, how could he not score? This damn goalkeeper is on the hook, can such a fairy ball be thrown?
The confidence of the Liverpool fans was also frustrated. They suddenly felt that they really couldn't win this game, because there was a goalkeeper in front of the goal of Leeds United, calling Zhong Zheng!
Benitez also held his head in his hands and kept shaking his head, watching all this in disbelief. Just now he really jumped up to celebrate the goal, but how did the ball end up like this? Why is this so?
Benitez couldn't help shaking his head, he also felt that this game was a bit hanging.
Zhong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, the ball was really too dangerous, and Crouch was given such a chance. If he was given another chance like this, Leeds United would really be doomed.
After all, Zhong Zheng is also a human being, it is impossible for him to have such a perfect performance every time. If you continue to give Liverpool people such opportunities, Leeds United will be in doubt.
Zhong Cheng immediately came to the sidelines, reminding the Leeds United players to defend seriously, and absolutely not to give the Liverpool players such a chance again.
At the same time, Zhong Cheng turned around and let Ivanovic go out to warm up.
At this time, Zhong Cheng was about to make a substitution, and he was strengthening his defense.
Corner, Liverpool won the corner.
Xavi Alonso flicked the corner and the football flew into the Leeds United penalty area. Zhong Zheng rushed out quickly, jumped high, grabbed the football, and then threw the ball vigorously to launch a fast break.
It's a pity that Joaquin on the side made a mistake in stopping the ball, and the football rolled directly off the sideline.
The Liverpool people breathed a sigh of relief, they were really scared to death just now. If this ball makes Joaquin quite good, it will be very, very dangerous. The backcourt of the Liverpool team was very empty just now. If Joaquin was really allowed to pass by, it would be really dangerous. The fans of the Liverpool team breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately the worst situation did not happen.
Now the game time is ticking, there is not much time left for the Liverpool people.
Substitution, Leeds United chose to substitute, Zhong Cheng replaced Edinson Cavani with Ivanovic, added a central defender and replaced a striker, this is a signal to strengthen the defense.
Benitez frowned when he saw this, the damn lunatic Loya, for the sake of winning, he didn't even want to lose face.
However, if he were the head coach of Leeds United, he would do the same. Benitez immediately waved his hand, signaling to the Liverpool players to attack with all their strength, and it was time to start the final charge.
The Liverpool players rushed up like crazy and launched the final charge. However, Liverpool's offense began to come aggressively, but the danger was not great, not even as threatening as the previous few offenses.
Leeds United's defense is now impenetrable, and it is really very, very difficult for the Liverpool people to break through them.
From the wing, Dirk Dirk made a pass from the bottom, and the football was pushed out by Ivanovic in the penalty area. Mascherano outside the penalty area didn't stop the ball, turned his body and feet, and quickly cleared the football. But the football flew towards Bresciano, who was going forward. After receiving the ball, Bresciano immediately advanced at high speed and rushed towards Liverpool's penalty area.
The interior of Liverpool's half was very empty, and Leeds United had a very good chance to counterattack. The fans of Leeds United at the scene suddenly became energetic, one by one jumped up directly, and their eyes were fixed on the stadium.
The Liverpool players were chilling in their hearts, and even many Liverpool fans closed their eyes in despair.
Four on two in the frontcourt, how does the Liverpool team defend this? Isn't this the end?
Benitez also closed his eyes in despair, how to defend the ball? Can this ball still be defended? He didn't even have confidence in himself, and he suddenly felt that this game was over, it was completely over.
Many Liverpool fans couldn't stand it anymore and got up and left.
But at this time, facing the Liverpool defenders who came out, Bresciano gently swung the football towards the penalty area, and the football quickly flew towards Luca Toni in the penalty area, and Luca Toni leaned behind him The defensive player jumped lightly, headed the ball back, and directly passed the football to the unguarded Joaquin.
Facing the flying football, Joaquin gently lifted the football towards the penalty area, then swung his leg and shot it.
With a bang, the football flew out rapidly and flew to the lower left corner of the goal.
Dudek, who was guarding the lower right corner of the goal kick, reacted immediately and quickly threw it sideways. He knows that he can't save football, but he still has to do his best to obey the destiny, and there will always be a glimmer of life if he saves it.
But God did not give Liverpool people this chance!
The football flew into the lower left corner of Liverpool's goal quickly, and Leeds United expanded the score at the end of the game, two to zero.
Relying on two quick counterattacks in the first and second half, Leeds United broke through Liverpool's goal, scored two goals, and defeated the visiting Liverpool team 2-0.
This result was beyond everyone's expectations. Before the game, everyone was optimistic about Liverpool. After all, the Liverpool team is waiting for work, and Leeds United just had a deadly clash with Arsenal. This game should be for Liverpool to welcome the ball.
However, the state of the Liverpool team in this game was indeed very bad. I really don't know what happened to them?
