Chapter 476
"Gareth Bale!" Lineker stood up from his position and shouted, "2:1!! Leeds United leads Arsenal at home!! Gareth Bale scored twice!! He helped Leeds United overtake with a world wave!! They are temporarily the team closer to the semi-finals!!"
"Bale is in great shape today!! And his positioning is also very smart!!" Jon's mouth is full of praise, "I didn't even notice how he suddenly appeared in this position!? Isn't he playing as a left winger today!?"
After Bale's shot was successful, the Arsenal players looked a little frustrated in the penalty area.
Obviously, they got a perfect start, but how come there were only about 20 minutes left in the game, and they fell behind.
Losing a ball in the 70th minute and becoming the lagging side was a big blow to Arsenal. For many Arsenal fans, this result is unacceptable...
The Leeds United players on the field are still celebrating.
But off the court.
Li Shiguang had finished celebrating and quickly made personnel adjustments.
When the Leeds United players returned to their own half, the fourth official held up the LED light board on the sidelines.
Leeds United made a substitution.
Torres was substituted and Modric replaced him.
Leeds United also changed from the previous 4-3-3 formation to 4-3-1-2 formation.
Modric's strongest point is his ability to control the ball and get rid of it on the spot.
Let the Croatian who played the whole game two days ago play at this time.
Anyone can see it.
Li Shiguang is telling everyone clearly.
The next time.
Leeds United is to win this game by controlling the midfield.
But Wenger is not idle either.
This goal really caught the professor off guard, and he did not blame his disciples too much.
He also made substitutions quickly, and two at a time.
Diaby and Eboue were substituted at the same time, and the two forwards who replaced them were Dutchman Van Persie and young player Walcott!
····
"Arsenal is going to give it a go!" Jon couldn't help but sigh when he saw Wenger's substitution.
"There is only a little time left. What's the difference between losing one goal and losing two goals?" Martin Keown shrugged helplessly, "I said at the beginning that Arsenal should not have retreated to defend. It's a pity that Wenger has only reacted now. I hope they still have a chance!"
After the game resumed.
The situation on the field did not change immediately as Jon said.
Arsenal, who fell behind, did not counterattack immediately.
Instead, Leeds United, who had just scored a goal and whose morale was at its peak, created several threatening attacks.
73rd minute.
Modric made a straight pass in the middle, and Adriano leaned on Gallas and forced a shot that slipped out of the goal.
81st minute.
Kaka, who wandered to the left, received a pass from Lahm, broke through Senderos' defense and made a cross. Unfortunately, Adriano and Bale, who responded in the middle, did not touch the ball, and it was finally destroyed by Clichy out of the sideline.
"This is not a solution, Arsene." Primorac was full of worry, sitting next to Wenger and whispered, "We have to let them press forward, we don't have much time."
Primorac said.
How could Wenger not know it?
But he only had a few cards in his hand, and now all of them have been played. Whether there will be a turnaround next depends on the performance of the players on the field...
On the other side of the field.
Simeone was also talking to Li Shiguang.
But unlike the gloomy Primorac, Simeone's face was only excited.
"Boss, steady! There are still more than ten minutes left, and we will make history! Hahaha!"
"Don't panic, the game is not over yet, be steady." Li Shiguang held Simeone's arms that were waving in excitement and reminded him, "When waiting for the dead ball, go and talk to Luca and ask him to control the rhythm and not press so close! Arsene's new No. 32 is not slower than Gareth..."
"No. 32?"
With Li Shiguang's reminder, Simeone immediately turned his eyes to the court.
This turn.
An accident occurred....
····
The game was in the 84th minute.
Leeds United was organizing an attack.
Leeds United played very smoothly in the previous period. Unknowingly, the three lines pressed very forward, especially the three midfielders, who had run to Arsenal's half and had pressedAfter passing the center circle.
After several passes.
The football came to Mascherano's feet.
The Argentine was about to pass the ball to the side, but just as he looked up, a short figure in a red jersey appeared in front of him.
Mascherano was startled and subconsciously wanted to protect the ball.
But when he stretched out his foot, he found that he kicked in vain, and the football had been poked away by the short figure in front of him!
"Walcott... Walcott snatched the ball from Mascherano's feet... This is Arsenal's counterattack plan!" Jon spoke quickly.
Walcott, who grabbed the ball, reacted quickly.
He looked up at the midfield.
He found that there was no one in front of him, so he ran towards Leeds United's half with the ball!
At this time, there were only two central defenders, Thiago Silva and Kompany, in Leeds United's half, and next to them, there were two Arsenal forwards, Adebayor and Van Persie.
This made the two dare not rush up to stop Walcott's advance, and they could only retreat behind the two forwards of Arsenal.
In less than five seconds.
Walcott had already rushed to the front of the Leeds United penalty area with the ball.
Seeing that there was no way out.
Kompany made up his mind and had to give up Adebayor and rushed towards Walcott.
But Walcott had always noticed Kompany's movements. Just before Kompany rushed up and was about to hit him, Walcott stretched out his left leg and poked the football forward again, then exerted force again, relying on his own powerful explosive power, lightly avoided Kompany's collision, rushed into the Leeds United penalty area, and sent a ground ball horizontally!
After Kompany rushed towards Walcott, Silva immediately approached Adebayor.
But Adebayor's running position was very cunning.
He immediately made a move to run in the opposite direction of Silva.
This move also created some distance between him and Silva. When Adebayor ran to the penalty spot, Walcott's cross was just in place. The next second, the former Leeds United player pushed the ball gently. The ball changed direction. It rolled over the left side of Neuer and went into the lower left corner of the Leeds United goal! 2:2! With a few minutes left in regular time, Arsenal equalized the score! !
