"It's the 87th minute of the game. Including injury time, there are still ten minutes left. Facing Leeds United, who are starting to invest more in defense, Manchester United must consider how to score! A draw is equal to failure for Manchester..." Jon said.

"The last ten minutes!" Lineker was already a little excited. "As long as Leeds United can keep the game going until the end, they will win the 2007-2008 Premier League championship trophy!"

As the game time passed, Manchester United's offensive became more and more fierce. More often, Leeds United retreated to their own half to defend.

But at this point in the game, most people, including Ferguson, have overlooked a problem.

Although Manchester United's offensive was swift, the two sides they were proud of were a little too independent.

Of course.

This independence does not mean that Ronaldo and Rooney on both sides did not cooperate with their teammates.

When they encountered difficulties in breaking through, both of them would cooperate with their teammates who came over, but there was no scene like in the first half where they would occasionally use the width of the field to pull the Leeds United defense line through long passes.

And if the two did not choose to cut in and shoot, their crosses would also be very interesting.

You should know that Manchester United's equalizing goal was the result of Ronaldo and Evra's wonderful cooperation on the left side, and after getting rid of the defense, they passed the ball to the right side of the Leeds United penalty area, and Rooney headed the ball.

But since the conflict between the two, this kind of cooperation has almost disappeared!

Ronaldo is relatively better. As time goes by, the desire for the championship makes the Portuguese suppress his anger. When he sees Rooney in a relatively good position in the penalty area, he will still try to pass a ball.

But Luke Xiaopang did not.

Rooney, 23 years old, is in the prime of his youth. At a young age, he has firmly established himself as the starting striker of Manchester United and the England national team.

In the past two years, Rooney and Ronaldo have the same status in Manchester United.

However, this season, with Ronaldo's competitive state becoming more and more powerful, and Mendes's backing behind the scenes, Ronaldo gradually surpassed Rooney in terms of reputation.

In addition, Ronaldo has not renewed his contract with Manchester United for a long time, and the transfer storm some time ago.

This made Rooney more dissatisfied with Ronaldo.

So after the quarrel just now, Rooney exploded. He just wanted to prove to Ferguson that he was the most critical person who could help Manchester United win the league championship!

····

Soon.

The 90-minute regular time ended and the game entered injury time.

Li Shiguang also played the last card and replaced Kolarov, who was almost exhausted, with Bale.

After Bale came on the court, Leeds United entered a full-line recovery state. Even after Adriano retreated to the center circle, no one wearing a white jersey could be seen in Manchester United's half.

Manchester United began to frantically besiege Leeds United, who was clearly determined to defend to the end.

The end of regular time.

It seemed to turn on the switch of the impatience in the hearts of Manchester United players, and even veteran Giggs was not immune.

91st minute.

Giggs received Rooney's pass, shook his left foot to open the angle and shot, but the height of the football was not enough, and it failed to penetrate the thick wall in front of the Leeds United penalty area, and was blocked by Lahm.

92nd minute.

Hargreaves's diagonal cross was caught by Neuer who jumped high.

95th minute.

Ronaldo's shot after entering the penalty area was blocked by Kompany.

Inside Elland Road, the cheerful atmosphere became more and more intense. Every time Manchester United returned without success, they would receive cheers.

Time flies.

Clattenburg has been looking down at the watch frequently, Ferguson and Li Shiguang are standing on the sidelines motionless. At this time, the two coaches have played all the cards they should play. The final result can only depend on the performance of their disciples in the last two minutes on the field!

Corner kick.

Silva got the first point and headed the ball out of the penalty area. Unfortunately, all the players standing outside the penalty area were Manchester United players.

The ball fell to Vidic's feet, who had already pressed outside the Leeds United penalty area.

Seeing the ball fall to the side.

The Leeds United players reacted quickly and immediately pressed out of the penalty area. In order to prevent Vidic from directly kicking a long shot, Adriano, who was closest to him, rushed up with a few steps.

Vidic was also very clear about his footwork. He did not rush to kick blindly, but turned around and passed the ball to Carrick who retreated outside the penalty area.

Manchester United reorganized the attack about 30 meters away from the Leeds United goal.

A few lateral passes.

The ball was handed to Giggs' feet.

WalesPeople can see it very clearly.

When Manchester United passes the ball, Leeds United's overall front line will move with the movement of the ball.

Especially when the ball is passed back, Leeds United's players will also press forward appropriately.

The advantage of this is that Manchester United's players with the ball feel pressure all the time, and the pass will not be so comfortable. But the disadvantage is that once the attention is not focused enough, it is easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity of just one second and form an offside!

And in order to verify his own ideas.

Giggs first passed the ball to Ronaldo on the wing, and then ran back.

He retreated about five meters and waved to Ronaldo for the ball.

Ronaldo saw that there was indeed no good breakthrough opportunity, so he passed the ball back to Giggs.

When Ronaldo passed the ball, Giggs focused his attention on the movement of Leeds United's overall defense line.

Sure enough!

Moved forward!

After the Welsh veteran confirmed the information, he made a prompt decision, pointed his right hand forward, and then did not stop the ball at his feet like before, but swung his left leg and made a long diagonal pass to the right side of the Leeds United penalty area!

At the same time.

In the ribs of the right half of the field.

Rooney's figure rushed out of the crowd and ran towards the penalty area at lightning speed.

The first reaction of the Leeds United players who reacted was that Rooney was offside.

But after raising his hand to signal, he found that the linesman did not make any statement, so he rushed towards Rooney like crazy. The game has come to the last minute. At this time, no accidents are allowed!

"Rooney succeeded in countering offside!" Seeing this scene, the neutral Jon suddenly got a little excited, "This is probably the last attack of the game! If Manchester United can score, they will overtake Leeds United and take the championship trophy from Elland Road!"

Elland Road was booed.

Everyone focused their attention on Rooney, fearing that something unexpected would happen.

Fortunately, the quality of Giggs' pass was only average. When Rooney stopped the ball, he was already close to the baseline.

He could shoot from this position, but in front of Neuer who was ready, the chance of scoring from such a small angle was not high.

So Rooney looked up and looked at the middle and the far point.

At this critical moment.

All Leeds United players were moving towards Rooney.

No one noticed that on the left side of the penalty area, Ronaldo was completely unguarded.

Li Shiguang and Ferguson saw it.

The two coaches were also shouting on the sidelines.

One person was signaling the players to pay attention to defending Ronaldo, and the other pointed to Ronaldo's position and shouted to pass the ball.

The only thing in common was.

The expressions on the faces of the two coaches were extremely anxious.

Did Rooney see it?

He saw it the moment he looked up.

He saw Ronaldo waving at him for the ball.

As long as he can pass the ball past the Leeds United goal, with Ronaldo's shooting skills, the ball will definitely go in!

The next second.

Rooney turned his leg... and kicked.

But at the moment before his right foot hit the football.

Lucifer in Rooney's mind defeated Gabriel.

"Bang!"

A light sound.

The right foot hit the football.

The football flew straight to the Leeds United goal.

Neuer, who had originally paid some attention to Rooney's cross pass, had a playful expression on his face.

Facing the flying football, he raised his fists in front of his chest and, with a little force, kicked the football out of the penalty area!

Just at the moment when the football flew out of the Leeds United penalty area.

Clattenburg looked down at his watch.

Then, he blew the whistle to end the game without hesitation!

1:1! ! !

Leeds United tied with Manchester United at home.

With 91 points.

Successfully defended the 2007-2008 Premier League title!!!
