After Falcao scored the goal, the two head coaches' faces turned into two opposites. Even though they were still one goal behind, Li Shiguang's face flushed red from the moment the ball rolled into the Manchester United goal. After guiding the fans' emotions, he hugged Falcao who came to celebrate and jumped wildly. On the other side, Ferguson's face had lost its previous calmness. He looked at his dejected disciples with a sullen face, and he was the one who put his hands tightly in front of his chest. Looking at Li Shiguang who was jumping and jumping next to him, Ferguson couldn't figure it out in his heart. It was only 15 minutes in the midfield. Under such a big disadvantage, did this oriental boy cast some magic on the Leeds United players? Leeds United in the second half was like two completely different teams from the first half!

While Ferguson was still thinking, Li Shiguang had already calmed down first, clapped his hands, and shouted to the players who came to celebrate: "Calm down! Boys, calm down! The game is not over yet, we are still one goal behind! Don't forget what I said to you in the locker room during the halftime break!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they reacted immediately.

Yes, we are still one goal behind!

But now Leeds United's morale is high, and the game is still more than ten minutes away. It doesn't seem to be difficult to score another goal to equalize the score?

With this indomitable courage and confidence, the players returned to the field and stood in position, waiting for Manchester United to kick off.

Ferguson still had two substitutions in his hand. After the game resumed, he kept thinking about where to use these two places.

At first, Ferguson still wanted to adjust the offensive line. After all, the best defense is offense. But watching Leeds United's wave after wave of attack, reason told him that it was wise to strengthen the defense now. After all, Manchester United was still leading. As long as they could maintain this score, they would still be the final winner!

After the decision, Ferguson waved his hand and used the last two substitutions to adjust Manchester United's two wingers. Captain Neville replaced Evra, who started the game, and Fletcher returned to the full-back position. O'Shea and Park Ji-sung partnered in the midfield.

After Neville came on the court, Manchester United's players seemed to have found their backbone. Under the leadership of him and Scholes, Manchester United was not in a hurry to attack during this period. After getting the ball, they kept passing the ball in the backcourt. Anyway, there was not much time left. If they kept the status quo until the referee blew the whistle, they would still be the final winner.

Time passed by minute by minute. After Manchester United deliberately slowed down the pace of the game, Leeds United did not find too many good offensive opportunities during this period.

When the game time was close to 90 minutes, the fourth official raised the LED light board on the sidelines, and the whole game would be added 3 minutes!

There is really not much time left for Leeds United!

Seeing that the game is about to end, except for Neuer, almost all the Leeds United team has already pressed past the half court. As soon as the Manchester United players get the ball, they will immediately rush up and madly rob. In fact, this kind of kicking is quite dangerous. After all, the empty goal behind them is wide open. Once the Manchester United players find an opportunity to pass the ball, they will immediately form a single-handed opportunity, which may completely kill the game!

Fortunately, the whole Manchester United team is now focused on how to drag the remaining few minutes, so even if there are several gaps in the ribs of Leeds United, they did not send the ball out in the first time. When they came to their senses, the Leeds United players rushed up again.

In this way, the game came to the 91st minute. Now it is Leeds United who controls the ball, and there are only the last 2 minutes left before the end of the game.

Alonso was holding the ball. O'Shea, who had just come on the field, immediately came up to him. Alonso saw that there was no good route to pass the ball, so he could only pass the ball to Milner on the wing. Then Milner dribbled the ball along the sideline. Fletcher, who came up to defend him, was also very smart. He kept his position and didn't let Milner cut inside. Milner had no choice but to take the ball to the baseline. Seeing Ferdinand rushing up to press, he had to kick the ball at Fletcher's feet, letting the ball bounce out of the baseline.

If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the last attack of Leeds United. Li Shiguang waved his hands exaggeratedly on the sidelines, shouting: "Go up! Go up! No need to leave anyone in the backcourt!"

Under his command, even Neuer, who was standing in front of the goal,

Quickly ran to Manchester United's half.

On the Manchester United side, Van der Sar was directing his teammates to defend in the penalty area, and several defenders were waiting for Leeds United players to come over so that they could defend closely.

"Leeds United got a corner kick. There is no doubt that this must be their last attack. All players, including the goalkeeper, are running towards Manchester United's penalty area. Next, let's see how good Alonso's corner kick is. But no matter what, they were able to score three goals in a row when they were four goals behind. Even if they still lost the game in the end, they can still be our heroes, right?" Eddie Gray's voice was a little frustrated. In his opinion, Leeds United had done well enough in the second half, but they were indeed too far behind before...

Fletcher, who did not return to his penalty area at the first time, knew that Leeds United's corner kicks were taken by Alonso throughout the game, so after seeing Milner put the ball in place and walked in the opposite direction of the corner flag, Fletcher also turned around and walked into his penalty area. He had to go back to his position quickly.

But just as Fletcher turned and took two steps, Milner, who had already left the corner flag, suddenly turned and ran back to the corner kick spot. With a swing of his left foot, he saw the ball flying into the penalty area.

From Milner setting the ball, Fletcher turning around, to Milner sending the corner kick, the whole process only took two or three seconds. At this time, almost no one in the entire Manchester United penalty area paid attention to the corner kick spot. It was not until the ball flew into the penalty area that Van der Sar reacted.

But before him, Ribery, who had been watching Milner at the front point, had already reacted. He was unguarded and just stretched out his left foot and used the arch of his foot to cushion the ball when it flew in front of him. Then the ball changed its direction and flew towards Manchester United's goal. The whole process was too fast. Even if Van der Sar had reacted a little at the first time, just waving his hand could not change the ball's route. The ball still flew smoothly into Manchester United's goal!

The ball went in!

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh! What did I see!" Lineker shouted almost crazily, "Franck Ribery!! James Milner!! They joined forces to save Leeds United, in the 92nd minute! Leeds United equalized the score!"

Amid the cheers of the whole audience, Li Shiguang, who could no longer control his emotions, was running madly towards Milner along the sideline.

Looking at the back of the young man who was wearing a neat suit but didn't care about his image, running and jumping.

Ferguson closed his eyes helplessly and painfully!

He could never have imagined that he had a four-goal lead, but was eventually dragged into overtime by this young man!
