Li George asked Jan Arnesen to warm up for 2 minutes, but the young man stayed for 5 minutes before coming back. This time he completely warmed up his body.
George Li didn't pay attention at first and kept staring at the changes on the field. It wasn't until Arneson ran back at the end of the game that he remembered to make a substitution.
He pulled Arnesen over and told the young man.
"Go up and replace Alan..." Halfway through, George Li suddenly realized something was wrong.
At this time, if Smith is replaced, who will be the captain and who will win the cup? Seeing that he was about to win, his mind was already confused and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"No, you go up and replace Kevin Davis, and then you go to the right, got it."
Arnesen nodded and hurried to the fourth official to register.
The fourth official has just completed Sevilla's third substitution. Juande Ramos replaced Marty with Brazilian midfielder Renato. Marty had already cramped on the court. Ramos didn't want to make any more mistakes. It was a waste of time and replaced him directly.
When the fourth official was about to hold up a sign to indicate stoppage time, Arnesen came over and was ready to play.
After a long-range shot from Sevilla Maresca went over the crossbar, Arneson came on and replaced Kevin Davis.
Davis deliberately walked slowly down the field, applauding with the audience as he walked.
The Leeds United fans at the scene also stood up and applauded the England forward who performed well today. Kevin Davis scored a goal today and was involved in several other goals, whether it was running or He did a good job of pulling and pulling. At the same time, he also retreated to the midfield to help the defense.
"Referee, he's stalling for time, he's stalling for time!" Ramos kept urging from the sidelines.
At this time, the referee also asked Davis to get off the field quickly. Under normal circumstances, Davis should be given a yellow card to get off quickly, but now the score is 4 to 1, and the game is over in just a few minutes. There is nothing left. It makes sense.
Arnesen touched a handful of turf and started running onto the field.
At this time, after the substitution is completed, the fourth official raises his sign and adds 3 minutes of additional time.
In less than 10 minutes, the game was over.
"Here we go with Leeds United."
"We are gonna give the boys a hand."
"Stand up and sing for Leeds United."
"They are the greatest in the land."
...
"Leeds Leeds Leeds."
Some Leeds United fans had already started singing songs to celebrate the victory in advance.
Every second that passes brings them one step closer to their team's victory.
The players on the field in Sevilla no longer have the courage to play and come back, they no longer work hard when attacking, and they pass the ball carelessly.
"What are you doing? Press up, press up!" Ramos shouted desperately from the audience, but the effect was not great.
On the contrary, Arneson, who had just come on, after receiving the ball, used his speed to get rid of Puerta and completed a solo shot on the right.
When he reached the right side of the penalty area, Adriano, who was coming from the side, tackled him out with the ball.
Arneson rolled twice on the ground, then immediately jumped up with his hands firmly in place.
In fact, at this time, Arnesen could pretend to lie on the ground for a while, delay the time, and then wait for his teammates to come over and have a fight under the leadership of Smith, and the game would be over.
But now the whole Leeds United team is not paying attention to this matter, they are aloof and upright, and if they win, they will win.
The referee didn't even call a foul and directly gave a Leeds United sideline ball.
Arnesen directly chose to throw it himself, signaling Mills not to come up and just stay behind to defend.
Then he threw the ball to Van Persie.
The Dutch stopped the ball with his chest, stepped on it with his left foot, and blocked Escud behind him with his body, preventing him from reaching the ball.
Adriano came up to double-team, and Van Persie gave the ball back to Arnesen.
Arneson moved with his right foot, then went to the baseline and made a pass.
When Adriano came over again, he dunked with his right foot. After deceiving the opponent, he was ready to switch to his left foot to pass.
"Du~, dudu~" the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Arneson picked up the ball with both hands, turned around and kicked towards the fans' stands near the baseline.
Some of the other Leeds United players on the field jumped up, some fell to their knees, and some hugged each other.
Sevilla's players fell to the ground one after another, covering their faces with their hands.
"Ah~" The Leeds United players and coaches rushed into the field together.
George Li first knelt down on his knees, pointed his hands to the sky, and looked up at the sky. After kneeling for a while, he started to get up and went to find Ramos, the opponent's head coach, to shake hands.
Ramos was stunned for a moment when he saw Li coming over. Normally, the winning head coach would have already rushed into the field to celebrate and would not come to shake hands.
Ramos was also ready to go in to comfort his players, and he didn't expect that Li would come.
"Congratulations!"
"Thanks!"
After a simple handshake, George Lee entered the field and started celebrating with the players.
Smith and Van Persie hugged each other, and Smith was already in tears.
The old captain Kelly came to Mills lying on the ground and reached out to pull up the team's right back who had completely replaced him.
"Wild Boar" Davis ran to the fans and took a Dutch flag and put it on his body. The local Dutch fans in the stadium applauded.
Grenchar, Gravesen, Albchesen and other Danes all hugged each other.
Van der Sar and Matthiasen put their arms around each other and threw their gloves into the stands.
Arnesen, who was the last to play, came to the sidelines and helped Derwig, who was on crutches, also enter the court.
"Leeds Leeds Leeds!"
"Marching On Together!"
...
Both fans and players were singing and shouting together.
George Lee hugged each of his players, and was finally surrounded by the players. Under Smith's encouragement, a group of people threw Li high into the air.
"Put me down, put me down!"
...
After celebrating for a while, the awards will begin, starting with the runner-up Sevilla team.
At Lee George's suggestion, all Leeds United players lined up in two rows, waiting for the Sevilla players to pass by.
Players from both sides shook hands, hugged each other, and said some words of encouragement to each other.
"Keep up the hard work, Danny." This is what Lee George said to Alves.
"Good goal." "Thank you." This was the conversation between George Li and Maresca.
"Take care." George Li said to Puerta in Spanish.
Sevilla players received medals one by one from UEFA officials, some hung around their necks, while others held them directly in their hands.
After the Sevilla players and coaches had left, the Leeds United players began to put on the white short-sleeves they had prepared in advance.
"Quick, quick, change quickly, we'll be here soon."
"Boss, aren't you wearing one?" Smith asked George Li.
"I don't look good with short sleeves on top of my shirt."
"Wear it, wear it, and you will be the first to receive the award after wearing it."
In the end, George Li couldn't shirk it, so he could only put it on and start to receive the award.
The short sleeves also have "CHAMPION" printed in gold on them, and then the words "Marching On Together" in black below.
The podium was ready, indicating that Leeds United could go over to present the award.
"Congratulations!"
Johansson hung the medal around George Li's neck and praised him twice.
George Lee walked by the UEFA Cup trophy, touched it gently, and then went to the final podium to wait for other players.
Kevin Davis, Gleneagles, Robin van Persie, Graveson...
The Leeds United players received their medals one by one, and then passed by the trophy. Some kissed, some touched, and some hugged, but none of them pulled down.
Even Pedersen, Ferdinand and Braaten, who usually have little chance to play, were very happy to receive the trophy.
Derwig, with the help of Arneson, jumped up and down and won the medal.
Then came the Leeds United coaches, who also received medals.
Finally, it was Alan Smith. The Leeds United captain was the last to receive the medal, with the sweat and tears still on his face.
Smith came to the trophy, picked up the trophy with both hands, and came to the front of the crowd.
"Guys, this thing is pretty heavy."
"1, 2, 3."
"we are......"
"champion."
The moment Smith raised the trophy high.
Countless white, yellow, and blue pieces of paper floated down from the sky.
