Chapter 141 The Champions League is here!

Leeds United are in good shape…very good!

But the victory or defeat of the football match is the result of the combined effect of multiple factors. Rodgers made a very bold adjustment to his team's lineup in the second half, which was crazy!

Thorge, Lexky and Suarez were all replaced, replaced by veteran Kuyt, Ag, and Paraguayan shooter Cardozo.

The three players sent by Rogers are actually not stronger than Torge, Lexky and Suarez, but in terms of experience, these three players are much better, which also determines that their psychological qualities are better and can play a better role when the team is in adversity.

It has to be said that Rogers's command on the front line is quite good, both thoughtful and bold and meticulous. His substitution played a significant role after the start of the second half of the game. The anxious mentality of the "Red Army" was completely stabilized. He seemed unhurried and was not impatient when attacking. He made full use of the advantage of playing one more player on the field and gradually completely captured the initiative in the game.

The "Young Guards" performed very tenaciously, but their disadvantages were really obvious. With less than one person away, facing the "Red Army" who had recovered from their form, they really had the ability to resist but had no power to fight back, and could only huddle in their own penalty area to guard against them.

At Anfield Stadium, the cheers of the kops rose and rose, and from time to time, sighs of regret burst out...

"Cardozo turned around and shot...Oh, it's high!"

"Steven's long shot! He was blocked! Mateddy's supplementary shot... Oh, it's just a little bit short!"

"Reva's arc shot...the dead corner!...Oh———Ronegan's condition is so brave. Can such a ball be saved? It's incredible!"

Liverpool's offensive was becoming more and more fierce, with a fierce murderous aura, but it no longer had the frigid feeling in the first half, and their shots were becoming more and more threatening.

Faced with this situation, Simon Grayson also made adjustments to his team, but he did not supplement his team's defense, but strengthened his team's offense.

"Black Big" Ameobi replaced Nelson Oliveira. The young man's ability to seize opportunities is still a little worse. In addition, he also replaced Pivkowski with a Scottish genius boy John Fleck. Although this real left-footed player is best at playing in the front midfielder position. However, forwards, left and right wingers, left and right forwards, and central front-lines can also play, and he is an absolute all-rounder.

Simon Grayson's idea is very fierce. When the team played less than one away game, Leeds coach was not thinking about defending the one-goal advantage brought by Shaq, but thinking about seizing the opportunity and scoring another goal to secure the victory. This idea... is a bit risky, but for the "Youth Guards" who are not weak, it has to be said to be a very exciting adjustment, because Simon Grayson still knows his team very well. The "Youth Guards" are more vigorous and not stable enough. It is not realistic to rely on defense to defend the advantage of one-goal until the end of the game, but taking a risk is more promising.

After making the adjustment, Leeds United did get two opportunities...

At 63 minutes, Dawson sent the ball from Red from the right to the left in the center circle. Ben Parker didn't wait for the ball to land, and directly pushed the ball to Liverpool's left penalty area without waiting for the ball to land.

At this time, the formation of the "Red Army" was moved to the right. The left side was quite empty, but unfortunately the opportunity for Fleck to follow up was a beat slower. As a result, this very threatening attack was first blocked by Ziglinsky to protect the ball, and finally Reina got the ball.

Seeing this scene, Simon Grayson shook his head slightly off the court. He was really disappointed with John Fleck's performance. This future star, who had spent 5.5 million pounds to buy with the team's genius hat, performed quite averagely in the process of integrating into the team. If it weren't for his frontcourt panacea, he would not even be able to enter the roster in a short period of time.

When the game ended 69 minutes, Leeds United got another chance to counterattack, and the "Black Big Man" fully played its role as a bridgehead. At the top of the "Red Army" penalty area, the ball that Tevez passed back was pushed back. Following the line of the ball flying, everyone saw a white figure rushing up at high speed... Shaq!

In the crowd of up to 7 Liverpool players, this touch of white looks so eye-catching!

"Bang!"

Shaq jumped slightly while running, and stopped the ball that Ameobi had pushed back with her chest. After the ball bounced up again, the speed of the falling speed was already quite slow, and it was right in front of Shaq...

"Bang!"

Without any hesitation, Shaq raised his right leg and the ball was pulled out by him!

"Shake...far shot!"

"call--"

The ball drew an arc in the air, and there was even a very obvious drop in the Liverpool penalty area. Its target was the upper left corner of the Liverpool goal. The Spanish goalkeeper Reina, who was standing in a relatively high position, had given up saving. He watched the ball fly past his eyes, and then watched the ball... The nervousness on his face finally relaxed with relief!

The ball is high!

Just rubbed against the left crossbar of the goal and the ball flew out!

"oh------"

Anfield Stadium heard a huge exclamation of life after the disaster, and the commentator said with lingering fear: "It's so dangerous! Shaq... This long shot is really dangerous! Although he is our opponent, I still have to admit that this kid is indeed another real genius in our English football world after Wayne! Although he is still very young, he has already initially possessed the ability to dominate the game, and he will become even more terrifying in time!"

If you survive a great disaster, you will have good fortune!

Liverpool just survived and their counterattack was immediately launched. During the rapid retracement, Leeds United had a little problem with the man-tapping process. Cardozo, who was retreating to get the ball, pushed Matedi's pass to the left.

No. 17 Slovak star Marek Hamshik, who only joined the "Red Army" for 24.5 million pounds this season, fully reflected his value in this moment!

The moment Cardozo passed the ball, Hamshik rushed out like a cheetah. He handled it very well when touching the ball, but he took the ball into the left penalty area of ​​Leeds United, five meters away. After he caught up, he had adjusted his steps and body and could easily shoot.

"Bang!"

Hamshik, who is good at playing left winger, is actually a right-footed player. Whether he can adjust his pace, body and running route determines the quality of his final shot.

This time, Hamshik's adjustment was very good!

After the ball flew out from under him, he flew straight to the lower right corner of the goal in the far corner of Leeds United!

Ronegan, who blocked the near corner, quickly fell to the ground, trying to use his body to block the opponent's shot, but Hamshik's shot was not a push shot. The ball did not roll against the ground, but was flying in the air more than one meter high. When Ronegan fell to the ground, the height of his left hand was getting lower and lower. As a result, the ball... flew over from thirty centimeters above Ronegan's left hand...

"goallllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"The ball is scored! The ball is scored! Marek! Marek? Hamshik! His performance proves how accurate Rodgers' vision is. 24.5 million pounds! Hamshik proves his value! This is a goal worth a thousand gold! 1:1 tie! With 20 minutes left in the game, we still have a chance to overtake the score and still have a chance!"

Amid the huge cheers at Anfield Stadium, captain Gerald quickly ran to the goal of Leeds United, picked up the ball and ran back. The qualification of "baozi" is too old, and no one of the little guys from Leeds United competed with him.

However, after seeing Hamshik, Mateddy and others who were celebrating, they quickly ran back. The captain sent out a signal with his actions, and the game was not over yet. The 1:1 draw is not the result that the "Red Army" wanted.

Liverpool, who tied the score, was full of morale and wanted to score another goal in the remaining twenty minutes, but the fact was that they failed to get what they wanted in the end. The "Young Guards" who equalized the score were not discouraged. Instead, under the leadership of Shaq, the defense was carried out more thoroughly. In the remaining time, Leeds United did not give their opponents any chance, and in the end the two sides could only shake hands and make peace with each other 1:1.

At the post-match press conference, Captain Leeds's red card became the focus of controversy...

Simon Grayson, the man who won the Premier League's best coach last season, fired a fire at the referee. Through last season's competition, not only the team has become more mature and stronger. As the head coach, Simon Grayson has also gained more confidence.

"I don't really understand why Jonny got a red card. In that case, I think it's reasonable to show a yellow card. If it's a red card, we have to re-examine the referee's penalty standard! In this regard, we will appeal to the FA because this red card can be said to determine the direction of the game. It made us fall into a passive position from the beginning, and the exciting game that should have been a lot of shame."

The home team's head coach Rodgers also seemed very cautious: "I have nothing to say about the red cards that appeared in this game. It is the referee who is in the law enforcement game, not me, so it is better to interview the referee than you interview me. However, I am very satisfied with the performance of Marek in this game. He is quickly integrating into the team."

In this game against Liverpool, the red card of Leeds captain will definitely receive more attention after the game, but Simon Grayson has no time to pay attention to these because he participated in the draw ceremony of the new season of the Champions League, and the draw drawn by the "Youth Guards" this time... is a team draw.
