Elland Road Stadium.
Leeds United fans once again cheered as their home team scored again.
After scoring, Van Persie hurried to hug Baynes who assisted. Now the first half is about to end, and Leeds United now leads 2-0.
But some Leeds United fans in the stands were picking up their mobile phones and listening to the phone calls. Instead of the joy after Leeds United scored a goal just now, they frowned.
George Li stood on the sidelines and had just finished applauding and celebrating the goal. Then I heard Chris Casper leaning into Li's ear and whispering.
"Manchester United scored too."
"Depend on!"
After seeing the team score a goal, his good mood suddenly disappeared.
The opponent I originally played here had half of the main players absent due to special reasons, so the situation was smooth sailing.
Shortly after the opening, through a set kick, Kevin Davis scored the goal of Tottenham with a header.
But immediately, news came from the other side that Manchester United also scored.
Ferguson's team withstood the pressure, and through a set piece, Vidic scored and led Charlton 1-0.
Continue to maintain the lead in the standings.
Li George originally thought that there was still game time, maybe there was still a chance, and maybe Manchester United would capsize soon.
Then, the most well-informed Casper came again, and what he would tell him was that Liverpool behind Leeds United also scored, leading Portsmouth 1-0.
George Lee began to care about his own game. After all, if he capsized, he would be overtaken by Liverpool.
Finally, near the end of the first half, Leeds United scored another goal.
Finally, George Lee no longer has to worry about Liverpool behind him.
But Manchester United also scored immediately, leading Charlton 2-0.
George Lee couldn't help but wonder angrily, whether it was destined by God that as soon as Leeds United scored, Manchester United would follow.
Then Li just turned around and saw Casper glanced at the computer, stood up again, and ran over to talk to George Li.
"Liverpool also enters..."
"Okay, let's not talk about it in Liverpool."
With a 2-0 score in hand, Tottenham was playing a weak lineup with its main force. If this allowed Tottenham to make a comeback in the second half, George Lee felt that he might as well quit the game.
So there is no need to worry about Liverpool, but there is still a glimmer of hope for Manchester United's game, hoping that Charlton can draw or counterattack Manchester United.
At this time, the live broadcast on Sky TV was also cut into two, one was the ongoing Leeds United game, and the other was showing Manchester United's second goal on the other side.
Manchester United's most common counterattack this season is through Cristiano Ronaldo's high-speed dribbling. After breaking through the wing, he crosses the middle. Rooney, who inserts behind, once again distributes to Park Ji-sung on the left.
In the end, the Koreans made the final decision.
Efficient and deadly!
"We saw that Coach Li probably also learned the news about the Old Trafford stadium on the other side from his assistant. We saw that after Leeds United scored the second goal, his excitement was short-lived."
After seeing George Li's expression, the TV station's commentator knew that Li George already knew the situation on the other side, so he said this.
At the end of the first half, the three teams ranked 2, 3, and 4 in the league all led their opponents 2-0.
During the halftime break, George Lee made some offensive changes.
In the first half, he still saw some loopholes by watching Tottenham's defense. In the second half, he decided to pursue the victory. He knew that he must hold the victory in his hands before watching other games.
In the second half, Leeds United's offensive continued unabated. Under Lee's arrangement, they continued to attack Tottenham's right wing.
Today, Tottenham head coach Martin Jol sent out a 532 formation, but Temu Tenio, who plays right back, originally played in midfield and has relatively weak defensive ability.
In the first half, George Lee on the sidelines also discovered this problem. Otherwise, for Leeds United's second goal, Baynes would not have been able to cross the ball so calmly before assisting.
George Lee knew that Martin Jol also knew about this problem, but he had no way to change it. After all, he had no one on hand. Even today’s starting lineup was all improvised, and several players beat him. An unfamiliar location.
Sure enough, in the 60th minute of the game, Parker sent a rare through ball from the backcourt and found Grenchar who had inserted behind Tenio from the outside.
This is the Dane's penultimate game for Leeds United. This summer he will move to Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich.
Grenjaer was very fast, getting rid of Tenio's defense, and then crossed to the front of the penalty area before Tottenham's defensive center back Michael Dawson.
As for Tottenham, which has been opened up in the middle, only Anthony Gardner is left to defend here. However, Gardner is 196 centimeters tall and has an advantage in fighting for headers, but this ground He was helpless when the ball came.
He saw a white figure running out in front of him and hurried to get the ball before him.
Dressed in white, with blond hair, a jersey with a big "17" printed on it, and a yellow captain's armband on his left upper arm...
When Alan Smith got the ball before Gardner, and then took one step into the penalty area. All the Leeds United fans at Elland Road had begun to cheer. They already knew that the goal was about to be scored.
Sure enough, after Smith brought the ball into the penalty area with his right foot, he adjusted his steps and then shot with his left foot.
The ball was very fast and went straight between the legs of the Tottenham goalkeeper.
The opponent's goalkeeper wanted to squat down, but it was already too late.
Seeing the ball go through the goalkeeper's wicket, Smith started celebrating without looking back and was greeted by cheers from the fans in the stadium.
"We have a captain who can do anything and lead us to victory..."
This is the song that Leeds United fans have made up for Smith this season, and fans like to sing it after Smith scores a goal. It’s just that to George Li’s ears, this song is really not that good. At least he has sung it and it feels like an average song.
After Leeds United took a 3-0 lead, Leeds United began to make substitutions here. Some players who were preparing to play in the final were replaced on the field to maintain their condition. This included the newly returned central defender Albchesson.
"Manchester United conceded the goal!"
This is what Casper said shortly after Smith scored, getting up again and coming to Lee's side.
After more than an hour, George Li only now discovered that Casper said a kind word.
After thinking for a while, George Li decided not to tell the players on the court the news.
The game passed by minute by minute.
After more than twenty minutes of suffering again, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game.
George Li quickly ran over to shake hands with coach Joel, then came to Casper's computer and stared at it.
The game next door at Manchester United isn't over yet.
The players also gathered around, waiting for the Manchester United game to end and hoping for a miracle to happen.
However, God was not on Leeds United's side today, and the 2-1 score remained until the end of the game between Manchester United and Charlton.
"Hey~" The players burst into bursts of regret.
"Let's go, let's go and thank the fans."
George Lee drove away the players gathered around and asked them to hold hands and thank the fans.
This is the last time Leeds United plays at home this season.
but. Their season isn't over yet.
"This season is coming to an end, so it's been really busy."
Brian Kidd, who was standing next to Lee packing his things, sighed.
This season Leeds United fought on multiple fronts and performed well in the league, finishing third and qualifying for the Champions League next season. At the same time, we also won a League Cup championship, and there is great hope to win another UEFA Cup championship.
However, although it is busy, it is very fulfilling because not all teams have the opportunity to play so many games.
"It's not over yet, there is still one more game." George Lee said to Kidd, "I hope that after winning this UEFA Cup championship, I can celebrate with all the fans at Elland Road again."
"yes."
Although the words were spoken by Kidd, all the coaches around him raised their heads and looked at George Li with yearning looks on their faces.
