The game was a stalemate.
Less than 5 minutes after Manchester United kicked off, after a dead ball, the fourth official on the sidelines signaled that Manchester United also needed to make personnel adjustments.
The two veterans Giggs and Keane were replaced by Ferguson, and Park Ji-sung and Heinze replaced them. Rooney was withdrawn to the front midfielder position by Ferguson, Ronaldo and Scholes were on the left and right, and O'Shea was promoted to the back midfielder position to strengthen the midfield defense with Park Ji-sung.
As the game continued, neither side had a good chance. Although the Leeds United players wanted to equalize the score as soon as possible, Manchester United's strength was there, especially after Park Ji-sung came on the court, his almost inexhaustible physical strength and active running played a great role in defense.
Because almost 80% of Leeds United's attacks, except for long passes, were initiated from Modric, and then advanced or passed to Deisler.
But Park Ji-sung almost completely locked Deisler during this period, making it almost impossible for him to turn around every time he received the ball. When the ball was passed to the wing, Ronaldo and Scholes would immediately shrink back to assist in defense, which made Leeds United rarely have the opportunity to pass the ball from the ground to Falcao's feet.
During this period, looking at the situation on the field, Li Shiguang also frowned slightly, glanced at Ferguson who was more than ten meters away from him, and thought to himself: Sir Alex Ferguson is worthy of being the absolute dominant force in Manchester United. His on-the-spot command ability is indeed strong. After Maicon scored a goal before, in addition to substitutions, Ronaldo was called to the sidelines by him to scold him. So in the past few minutes, in Leeds United's offensive rounds, Ronaldo was no longer seen wandering around the center circle. He returned to defense very deep every time, which made Ribery, who wanted to find an opportunity to make another single breakthrough several times, temporarily unable to do anything.
At the 80th minute of the game, the score was still 2:1, with Manchester United leading.
Su Tao and Wang Lu were talking in the live studio.
"It seems that Manchester United has stabilized its position and was not suppressed by the momentum of Leeds United's goal after the start of the second half. In the second half of the game, they gradually took the initiative on the field. I have to say that Ferguson's two substitutions were indeed exquisite. As soon as Park Ji-sung came on the court, he messed up Leeds United's midfield organization a bit."
"Yes, and it seems that Leeds United has no more cards to play. Just now, Deisler has obviously had symptoms of cramps. I guess... Oh, Berbatov is already standing on the sidelines. It seems that Deisler should be replaced. In this case, it should be considered a positional substitution. Berbatov's previous Bundesliga occasionally He has also played as a front midfielder or shadow striker. "
"We see that Manchester United is also going to make a substitution, and it is also a positional substitution. Tevez replaces Van Nistelrooy. As expected of Ferguson, he will also put full pressure on Leeds United's defense in the last period of the game. This is the first time Tevez faces his old club after the transfer. Although there is not much time left, we can also look forward to his performance!"
Tevez, who came on as a substitute, was also full of emotion. In less than a month, he went from being a member of Leeds United to an opponent of Leeds United. When he just came on the court, former captain Milner gave him a friendly smile. In today's game, if nothing unexpected happens, Leeds United will return home in defeat. After the game, he still has to comfort these former teammates.
Under Ferguson's command, Manchester United did not rush to attack in the following games. Instead, they kept passing the ball after getting the ball, trying to pull Leeds United's defense in this way and consume the opponent's physical strength. Once there were some opportunities during the passing process, they would pass the ball to Tevez or Ronaldo, and the latter would try to shoot.
Fortunately, Leeds United's defense was very focused. Although Manchester United had several shots, they did not further expand the score.
In the relatively slow game rhythm, the time came to the 89th minute. The fourth official had raised the injury time sign on the sidelines. The injury time for this game was 3 minutes.
Manchester United was organizing a new round of attack. Leeds United players were defending in their own half. Only Falcao was wandering around the center circle. Next to him were two tall Manchester United central defenders, Ferdinand and Sylvester.
Because Kompany and Chiellini really took themselves too seriously before, Tevez retreated to about 15 meters away from the Leeds United penalty area this time.
The ball is coming from a distance. Although there is not much time left, since he is on the court, he also wants to have some good performance, so that he can have the upper hand in the competition for the main force.
Park Ji-sung, who was dribbling the ball on the Manchester United side, saw Tevez waving for the ball, and he didn't think much about it and passed the ball directly. Because Tevez was far away from the Leeds United penalty area, no Leeds United player came forward to directly press him at the first time, so Tevez turned around calmly after getting the ball.
Tevez, who got the ball, looked around and was thinking about the next passing route. Leeds United's defense in the middle was very tight, and it was almost impossible for him to break through by himself.
But just as he was thinking, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Hey! Carlos!"
Hearing the voice, Tevez subconsciously turned with the ball and looked in the direction of the voice.
Then I saw a familiar figure in a white jersey facing me, pointing his right hand towards the center circle, and yelling: "Carlos! Pass back!"
In the interview after the game, reporters also mentioned this funny scene, and Sir Alex Ferguson could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and replied: "I haven't asked Carlos what he thought at the time. I think he is probably nostalgic."
Why did the reporter ask this question?
Because it was Milner who called Tevez to pass back, and Tevez, who is now a member of Manchester United, really passed the ball to the center circle after hearing Milner's voice.
Ferdinand and Sylvester, who were standing in the center circle, didn't expect Tevez to do this.
So, a weird and extremely fast counterattack started with Milner's interception.
In fact, after Tevez passed the ball, Milner was also stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly. In addition to him, Bale on the left and Falcao standing in the center circle also reacted quickly.
So after seeing Bale running forward frantically, Milner did not hesitate at all after intercepting the ball and passed it to Bale in advance.
With Bale's lightning speed, even if Ferdinand tried his best to catch up, he could not catch up with him. Bale rushed forward like a man in a deserted place, rushing straight to the penalty area of Manchester United's goal with the ball. Faced with this situation, Silvestre had no choice but to rush forward and try to stop Bale's attack. .
After seeing Silvestre rushing towards him, Bale did not get carried away by the opportunity in front of him and rushed forward, but calmly passed the ball horizontally to Falcao in the middle. This horizontal pass was like a sharp sword, cutting through the opponent's defense. After receiving the ball, Falcao shot it without hesitation, and then saw the football flying towards the lower left corner of the goal.
Although Van der Sar had tried his best in front of the goal, he could not stop this powerful shot.
"Bang..." A moment later, the sound of the football hitting the net reached Van der Sar's ears.
2:2
After the game entered injury time.
Leeds United equalized the score!
