Leeds United continued to make substitution adjustments, replacing Van Persie with Albucherson.
Barcelona tried their best to replace Sylvinho with a forward to strengthen their attack. They had just replaced Sylvinho with Giuly. Leeds United are desperately trying to replace defenders to strengthen their defense.
There was a click on the field. Barcelona had four forwards and Leeds United had six defenders.
Baynes had just returned from attacking from the left and found that his position was occupied by Matteisen. He motioned to Mathisen to return to his seat, and Mathisen said that his position was also occupied.
Baines can only come to the midfielder position and cooperate with Parker to sweep the midfield.
In the final stage, Barcelona finally found a sense of offense, and the cooperation between Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Giuly and Gudjohnsen began to increase.
He just managed to cooperate with the Leeds United crowd.
In the 77th minute, Puyol made a long pass from Barcelona's backcourt. Eto'o broke through the crowd, stopped the ball, turned around and hit the goal on the right side of the penalty area. The shot missed the near corner due to interference from Matteisen.
In the 80th minute, Giuli made a cross, and Eto'oai volleyed slightly higher from 25 yards in the middle.
In the 83rd minute, Deco made a direct pass and found Giuly on the wing. After continuous inwards, Giuly's long shot missed the far corner of the goalpost.
In the 85th minute, Mills fouled Ronaldinho and his set kick 25 yards from the left side of the penalty area was kicked too far by Ronaldinho. He was held firmly by Leeds United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.
In the 87th minute, Ronaldinho's shot after getting rid of was saved by Edwin van der Sar, and Gudjohnsen's supplementary shot was kicked into the side netting.
"Huh~"
The fans in the stadium screamed one after another without stopping.
There are constant dangers in front of Leeds United's goal here, but they just don't score.
Off the court, George Li kept wiping the sweat from his head and drinking water. After all, he lost water very quickly while standing on the sidelines.
Time passed by, and George Lee and all Leeds United fans were waiting for time to pass before they could win their first European Super Cup.
If they can win, Leeds United will have accomplished two feats this year, winning the UEFA Cup and the European Super Cup. Especially the champions of the European Super Cup, being able to defeat the Champions League champions is an affirmation of their strength.
If the game ended like this, most people at Leeds would be happy.
After Barcelona failed to attack again, the Leeds United substitutes and substituted players began to line up, hooking each other's shoulders and waiting for the end of the game.
However, the Leeds United players on the field were a little dissatisfied. In addition to a few counterattacks in the first half, Barcelona kept pressing them in the second half. Leeds United players usually press high in the Premier League and the UEFA Cup and counterattack in the frontcourt. Although I have played defensive counterattacks, I have never been so angry.
After taking the kick, Van der Sar passed the ball to Mills on the right with a short pass.
"Counterattack!" Smith shouted in midfield.
This sentence was decisively echoed by all Leeds United players on the field.
Mills and Parker went one-two and passed Ronaldinho. In fact, the Brazilian was no longer willing to defend. One is that the score cannot be recovered, and the other is that he used all his physical energy on offense. Constant dribbling and running and passing all consumed a lot of his physical energy. Moreover, he had just spent a summer of indulgence. , Ronaldinho's physical condition will still recover, and he no longer has the strength to chase Mills.
Mills crossed the middle and gave the ball to Smith.
Smith took the ball and pushed it directly behind Max and Puyol. There was Kuyt who had already moved forward.
Because Barcelona has been attacking, the defense is very forward. Kuyt was still in his own half at the moment of passing the ball, so it was definitely not offside.
Kuyt ran wildly with the ball. Although he had played for a whole game, his sufficient physical fitness still supported him to continue running.
All the way to the door of Barcelona, this time Valdes had already attacked.
Kuyt made a fake move, deceiving the Barcelona goalkeeper, and then took a step into the penalty area.
Finally, just as he was raising his foot to shoot, Puyol was brought back and fell to the ground.
The referee rushed over, signaled a penalty kick, and showed the Barcelona captain a yellow card.
Logically speaking, it should have been a direct red card, but it was only at the end of the day, and Leeds United was obviously going to win, so the referee let Puyol go.
"Xu~"
There were boos all over the place. Leeds United fans thought that Barcelona used foul methods to destroy Leeds United's must-goal. However, Barcelona fans here thought that Leeds United would attack and score at this time and expressed dissatisfaction.
Although fans on both sides booed, Puyol took the initiative to pull up Kuyt who fell to the ground.
There was nothing he could do about the foul. After all, as the captain of Barcelona, he could only use all his methods to organize his opponents to score. Kuyt also accepted the other party's kindness very friendly and extended his hand to Puyol.
Then the entire audience began to give the two players warm applause.
Soon, Kuyt was pulled up, and he didn't pretend to be pitiful by rolling on the ground for a while longer.
After all, it's the last minute and there's no need for the outcome to be determined.
Smith put the ball on the penalty spot and prepared to take the penalty kick. None of the other Leeds United players came near the penalty area. It didn't matter whether they scored or not.
Barcelona's people will not attack anymore, and there is no need for them to make up for the second penalty point.
As a result, Smith made the free throw very steadily.
3 to 0.
After scoring the goal, Smith didn't even celebrate and started to return to his own half.
Valdes kicked the ball to midfield and asked his teammates to kick off quickly, hoping to end this uncomfortable game as soon as possible.
Throughout the game, Valdez was attacked a few times by Leeds United at the beginning, but didn't show much of his face afterwards. Barcelona was always in control of the game, but even so, they still lost the game 0-3.
Van der Sar didn't make many real saves throughout the game. Instead, he kept kicking goals because Barcelona's shots here were not within the goal frame.
After Barcelona kicked off, the referee ignored the stoppage time and blew the whistle to end the game.
Then the Leeds United players and coaches rushed into the field and started celebrating. The Barcelona players did not lie down on the ground, but walked off the field with their heads lowered one by one and walked towards the locker room.
Only a few Barcelona players stayed on the field to shake hands and high-five the Leeds United players, like Smith, who took the initiative to find Puyol to exchange jerseys after a brief celebration.
Most of the other players left the game quickly. After all, Leeds United are all players from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Northern Europe, and Barcelona are mainly players from Spain, Portugal and South America.
After Rijkaard took office, he eliminated a large number of Dutch players left by Van Gaal.
Then came the awards ceremony. Under the gaze of all Leeds United fans, Smith lifted Leeds United's third trophy in 2006.
This is also the third major trophy that George Lee has won since taking office, following the English League Cup in the 2005/06 season and the UEFA Cup in the 2005/06 season.
At the same time, it also makes a good start for the upcoming 2006/07 season.
