After Leeds United waited for nearly 80 minutes and finally got the team's first goal, the overall team's morale improved a lot.
George Li also took advantage of this momentum and began to make substitution adjustments.
Logically speaking, defensive players should be replaced to strengthen defense, but George Lee did not do that.
Lennon replaced De Jong and Arneson replaced Kuyt.
In this way, Gravesen's position dropped back, while Smith returned to the central midfielder position.
Milner went to the left, leaving Lennon on the right, and Arnesen advanced.
And George Lee's intention is obvious, which is to speed up the game at the last minute, try to score another goal, and completely defeat Newcastle.
At the same time, George Li also has a substitution quota on hand, and can make adjustments according to the situation in case of emergencies.
Two consecutive substitutions made the Leeds United fans at the scene even more crazy.
As the most ardent fans in the UK, what they want to see is this kind of passionate game, rather than starting to defend after the team takes the lead.
The two people who came on the field also performed very well the tactical requirements laid out by George Li before taking the field.
Once you get the ball, you start to attack Newcastle's defense.
In the 81st minute of the game, Gravesen completed one-on-one defense against Sibirski and snatched the ball from the Frenchman's feet.
Then he passed the ball directly to Lennon, who had just come on the right.
The Leeds United winger charges when he gets the ball, not caring about the Newcastle defenders on the opposite side.
Peter Ramage, who was defending Lennon, could no longer keep up with his opponent's speed. Lennon broke through Ramage as soon as he picked up the speed and came to the bottom line to cross.
But because Arnesen is now a forward, he is not a point-grabbing forward.
The ball was confiscated by Given.
In the 84th minute of the game, Leeds United launched an attack from the left.
Milner received a wide-range transfer from the right in the Newcastle half. He first deceived O'Brien with a fake move to the left, and then took advantage of the chaos at the opponent's feet to move the ball to his right foot and cross.
Smith followed up with a shot that went wide of the goal.
"Ouch~", "What a pity!"
The Leeds United players on the bench have begun to stand up, waiting for the end of the game.
Kevin Davis, who did not play, and several other substitutes, and De Jong and Kuyt, who had just been replaced, lined up in a row, putting their shoulders on each other, and kept looking at the court.
It was a pity to see Smith's shot miss.
"It would be nice to get one more in."
George Li read silently.
His tactical arrangement after scoring the goal was to take advantage of Newcastle's lack of physical fitness at the back and hit Newcastle hard in the back.
Seeing that Nicky Bart could no longer run on the court, he could only walk slowly.
George Lee really wanted to tell the offensive players to hit that point. And this is what Li Rang told the two of them before they came on stage, so they must take advantage of this.
While George Li kept observing Bart, Arnesen also kept observing Bart. After all, this was arranged by the coach before he came on the field.
"He really couldn't run anymore."
Newcastle's goal kick flew into the frontcourt and was pushed away by Albchesson again.
Parker got the ball before Ameobi and passed it to Graveson.
Originally, Graveson wanted to control the rhythm and delay the time. But he saw Arnesen coming back from the front.
Arnesen made a very covert movement towards Gravesen, signaling him to pass the ball behind Bart.
Gravesen didn't hesitate, just flicked the arch of his foot and sent a through ball.
The ball passed through his teammate Smith and Newcastle's Butt, and came between Newcastle's midfielder and central defender.
Arnesen accelerated and received the ball, directly facing Newcastle's two central defenders.
Because Arnesen had already started to speed, when facing Bramble, he just changed direction and passed Bramble, without giving Bramble any time to react.
Dribbling again and one step later, he entered the penalty area.
"Chance!"
When everyone was already expecting Arnesen's single strike, Arnesen fell to the ground.
It turned out that when he adjusted his steps to prepare to shoot, Newcastle's other central defender Steven Taylor pulled Arnesen down from behind.
"du~"
The referee did not hesitate and awarded a penalty kick directly.
No Newcastle player came to protest this penalty, because the foul was real and everyone could see it.
Seeing the referee award a penalty kick, all the Newcastle players stood there silently. For them, the penalty kick was irrelevant. Anyway, losing this game is just a matter of ranking. The team has successfully avoided relegation and will not be able to enter the European competition anyway.
But this penalty kick is extremely important for Leeds United. Scoring it means winning the game. Winning the game means they can win the league championship this season.
Leeds United's first ever Premier League title.
Everyone held their breath and watched the progress of this penalty kick.
Including Ferguson at another venue. He was no longer watching the last few minutes of his team's game. Instead, he came to the coaching bench and watched the text live broadcast of Leeds United and Newcastle on his assistant's computer.
When the word "penalty kick" appeared on the live screen, Ferguson felt his heart tighten.
He continued to stare at the computer screen, and the assistant could feel Ferguson's breathing getting thicker.
"Why isn't this penalty kick taken?"
Ferguson waited for a while and asked his assistant.
"Let me refresh it."
The assistant quickly refreshed the web page.
Maybe it was because the network was a little stuck, so it took a while to refresh.
And it is continuous text.
"Alan Smith is ready to take the penalty."
"Given is constantly interfering."
"Smith runs and hits the goal!"
"Lower right corner!"
"Ji Wen made the right decision."
"Pounced!!!"
Seeing these lines of words appear on the screen, Ferguson and several of his assistants were very happy, which meant that Manchester United still had a chance.
Maybe a miracle will happen in the last few minutes. If Newcastle can draw with Leeds United, the championship will still belong to Manchester United.
After waiting for a while, Ferguson's assistant refreshed the web page again.
Only this time the font that appears is red.
"2 to 0!"
"After Given made the first save, Smith made a supplementary shot and kicked the ball in!"
"Leeds United will definitely win, Leeds United are the champions..."
"Pa~"
Ferguson closed his computer angrily, got up and walked to the sidelines to look at the Manchester United players on the field.
^^^
Smith scored twice and kept running to the sidelines to listen to the crazy shouts of the fans.
He was almost about to take off his jersey again, but fortunately Arnesen behind him held his hand.
"Captain, if you take it off again, you will have to go down. You will have to receive the award later."
After hearing this, Smith could only give up.
Off the field, the Leeds United substitutes had already huddled together, and some were so excited that they were speechless.
Gary Kelly, who has faded out of the team's lineup, and other first-team players who were not included in today's roster, have already walked out of the player tunnel, preparing to celebrate after the game.
Beside them, FA staff were engraving the Premier League trophy.
There was no need to continue the game on the field. After Newcastle's symbolic attack after the kick-off was interrupted by Leeds United, Newcastle's players retreated to their own half and stopped attacking.
Leeds United also stopped attacking and kept playing tricks in the midfield and backfield.
"du~"
Finally, after Van der Sar drove the ball into the frontcourt with a big kick, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Leeds United won the English Premier League championship in the 2006/07 season!
