Entering the halftime break, the Leeds United players entered the visiting team's lounge at Old Trafford.
The players are taking time to rest, because the physical exertion in the first half is really great.
Although Leeds United took the lead in the first half, they also took the initiative in the game. However, due to the constant high pressure, midfield containment, and constant assisting defense, a lot of physical energy was consumed.
Although under the scientific management of fitness coach Colin McGee in the past two seasons, the physical fitness of Leeds United players has been maintained very well, but such fierce fighting and running in the half still consumed most of the players' physical fitness.
George Li kept drawing tactics on the tactical board, while the players kept resting and drinking water.
Finally, when Li turned around, everyone stopped and looked at George Li, waiting for him to start speaking.
"Let me tell you first, as long as we fight hard, we can reach the top of the list!"
"This is something I would have never imagined at the beginning of the season."
"I was thinking that if we can achieve something in the Champions League this year, and then we can guarantee the top four in the league, then continuing to enter the Champions League next season will be the goal."
"But we messed up in the Champions League. I think Robin is mostly responsible. Fortunately, he is gone..."
George Li is used to making jokes when he is serious. He doesn't like the feeling of being tense throughout.
The players laughed because they knew their coach was not a blame-shifter.
"Yes, if he doesn't leave I will definitely beat him." Smith said.
"I will never go to a bar with him again," Bynes also said.
George Li made a quiet gesture and then continued.
"In that case, we will use our energy in the league and the UEFA Cup."
"Kill Manchester United today, Wigan next time and we'll be top of the table, lads."
"This time I will take the first step down to earth and kill Manchester United!"
"Woohoo~"
"Kill Manchester United!"
George Li's words before arranging the tactics inspired all the players, making them forget their fatigue and all became excited again.
"Then let me tell you in detail..."
^^^
In the second half, the Leeds United team entered the field full of energy, ready to continue to give Manchester United a powerful blow.
But they encountered a head-on attack from Manchester United first.
Just 2 minutes into the second half, Manchester United's Vidic cooperated with O'Shea to grab the ball from Milner on the right.
Vidic was very decisive this time, blocking Milner's path. Then when Milner was at a loss and did not dare to go towards O'Shea, he once again stepped forward to block Milner's pass to O'Shea. Kuyt's route.
Vidic stretched out his leg, got it between Milner's leg and the ball, and then hooked the ball back to his feet. Then he used his body to firmly block Milner, not giving him a chance to counterattack.
After protecting the ball, Vidic passed the ball back to Ferdinand.
The England central defender was scolded by Ferguson for five minutes during midfield, so he was highly focused at the beginning of the second half.
When Ferdinand is not distracted, it can be said that he is the best central defender in the Premier League.
Before catching the ball, he kept observing the movement of his teammates. When the ball reached his feet, he decisively released the ball without any sloppiness.
The ball drew a wonderful arc and flew to Manchester United's right wing.
Ronaldinho retreated in time. The moment the ball flew out of the sideline, he jumped up and tapped the ball lightly with his toes.
While the left foot is unloading the ball, the right foot stands firmly.
Leeds United's Baines quickly came to defend.
Ronaldinho glanced back and after confirming Baynes' position, he chose to pass the ball to Rooney with the outside of his right foot. Then when Baynes was about to come behind him, he turned his back and started to accelerate. .
It has to be said that Rooney and Ronaldinho are both talented players with extremely rich imaginations. When they play together, they may be like mercury.
Rooney seemed to know that Ronaldinho would do this, and directly chose to stuff the ball behind Baines.
Ronaldinho rushed over, caught the ball on the sideline again, and then kept accelerating dribbling along the sideline.
At the same time, Rooney also began to move forward, creating space for Ronaldinho.
Near the corner of the penalty area, Mathisen finally arrived and blocked Ronaldinho's path, forcing him to stop.
After stopping, Ronaldinho cycled twice in a row, as if he was trying to deceive Matteisen.
It’s just that Mathisen was unmoved.
However, no one had any thoughts about Ronaldinho. The two cyclists were just delaying for a while, waiting for Rooney to get into position.
Give it a gentle push.
Parker behind Rooney quickly fell to the ground to tackle the ball, while Woodgate in front of him put his hands behind his back and tried his best to block the shot.
Fake action! Once again, he fooled all the Leeds United defenders.
The ball passed between Rooney's legs.
Rolled to the feet of Solskjaer who was ambushing behind.
The Norwegian forward stopped the ball in front of him with his left foot, then took two steps, and finally stepped on the turf with his left foot. With the help of the inside of his right foot, he kicked the ball to the lower left of the ball.
Van der Sar, who had just moved from the right to the left, began to rush to the right again.
But no football was encountered.
The ball bypassed Van der Sar's fingers and flew into the goal.
1 to 1.
The perfect cooperation between Manchester United's two geniuses, just two people toyed with the entire Leeds United defense.
Help Solskjaer score easily.
How easy it was, Solskjaer had a full 2 seconds to adjust before taking the shot.
The morale that Leeds United had finally built up after passing the midfield was suddenly destroyed.
The No. 1 team in the league is the No. 1 team after all. It is impossible to surrender just because a few players are injured. They always have the magic weapon to defeat the enemy.
Ronaldinho and Rooney are the key figures in Manchester United's offensive counterattack.
After the goal, the morale of the Manchester United players was high, and all the players began to participate in the attack. When the ball was in the backcourt of Manchester United, the Manchester United players wearing red jerseys could pass the ball steadily to the feet of their teammates without being too busy. There was a passing error.
In the 55th minute of the game, it was Manchester United's counterattack again.
Carrick sent a through ball, and the ball passed through Parker's defense and came to Rooney's feet.
Rooney took the ball with his back, passed it to Solskjaer, and then continued to turn around to get rid of Woodgate.
Just when everyone thought Solskjaer was about to pick out Rooney, he gave the ball to Ronaldinho who inserted into the center from the right.
Instead, the ball passed through Ronaldinho before passing it to Rooney.
Leeds United's players were confused by the passing balls one after another, not knowing who they would pass to.
After Rooney came to the penalty area, he jumped high and pushed down with his forehead.
The ball passed under the arm of the attacking Van der Sar, bounced on the ground and crossed the Leeds United goal line.
Mathisen rushed back from the edge to save the ball, but he was still a step too late and could only watch the ball fly into the goal.
