4.045 Final Showdown

The road to a wealthy family is never easy, and if you want to shorten this time, you need to work harder. Li Chengfeng and the coaching staff have tried their best to refine the plan, consider various situations, and the rest will depend on the performance of the players on the field.

However, Klopp still surprised Li Chengfeng, he thought that the opponent would be more conservative at this time, after all, their defense has a natural shortcoming, and Leeds United also sent a combination of Mbappe and Jovic on the front line, mainly behind the opponent.

However, he clearly underestimated Klopp's madness, and Liverpool, regardless of their defensive weaknesses, played against Leeds United and conceded goals, as long as they could score more goals, as they did when they eliminated Barcelona.

The explosive Liverpool are indeed strong and completely suppressed Leeds United on the field. However, with their style of play, they can only hold on for 60 minutes at most, and then their fitness will not be able to sustain themselves, and as long as Leeds United can hold on, Liverpool will be in danger.

Liverpool have to try to score when they are full of energy, or even more than one, otherwise when they are low on energy, they will not be able to provide more attacking help on the bench, and it will be difficult not to concede against a strong Leeds United attack. At that time, their physical strength could not continue to support them in extra time, and it was only a matter of time before they lost, just like Atletico Madrid lost to Real Madrid in extra time in the Champions League final.

In the 8th minute of the game, Henderson dribbled the ball on the right side of the field and cut through the inside and sent a straight stopper, and Matip, who quickly inserted on the right side of the penalty area, fired a low shot that was blocked by the attacking Ederson.

In the 13th minute, Firmino dribbled the ball on the left side in front of the penalty area and got rid of people in a row, then turned and volleyed the ball high.

In the 22nd minute, Adeno drove a corner kick from the right to the penalty area, and Mane in front of the goal flicked his header and was firmly held by Ederson.

In the 30th minute, it was Adeno who drove a corner kick from the right to the penalty area, and Matip, who jumped high in the middle, hit the goal with a header to deflect the ball.

In the 32nd minute, Liverpool drove a set-piece from the right side of the field to the penalty area, and Maguire jumped high in front of the goal to flick his header slightly over the crossbar.

Liverpool had the absolute upper hand, but it was Leeds United who scored first, in the 34th minute, Mbappe received a diagonal pass from the left side into the bottom of the penalty area and sent a return pass, and Jovic who followed in front of the goal scored with a push! 1-0! Liverpool's defence made a fatal mistake that was the price they would have paid for pressing high up, with the difference being that Leeds seized their chances while Barcelona failed to capitalise on them.

Liverpool also failed to equalise in the first half, with Leeds going into the break with a one-goal advantage.

After the rematch, Liverpool replaced the newly injured midfielder Keita with a defender, and they began to fight hard.

Liverpool's offensive is more fierce, although Li Chengfeng emphasized again at halftime, but such a ferocious attack is still difficult to guard against, Liverpool people run like they don't want to die, as if losing this game is the end of the world.

Liverpool quickly equalized, and in the 46th minute, Henderson split the ball, Wijnaldum's long-range shot was blocked by a defender and then changed the line to assist, and Shaqiri in front of the goal seized the opportunity to score with a cushion! 1-1! Liverpool equalised!

In the 49th minute, Mane dribbled all the way to the vicinity of the penalty area and then fired a volley that missed the ball.

In the 53rd minute, Maguire sent a through ball, Naby Keita, who received the ball on the left side, sent a diagonal stopper, and Firmino, who got the ball in the penalty area, half-turned and pulled the ball and scored with a volley! 2-1! Liverpool turn the score on the pitch!

The Liverpudlians' excitement didn't last long, though, as their stamina dropped and they lost control of the pitch and Leeds began to counter-attack.

Li Chengfeng replaced Torreira with De Jong, increasing the team's ability to take the ball and advance. Although De Jong's defensive and physical qualities are not great, now that Liverpool's attacking intensity has dropped, he can start to use his attacking talents.

In the 65th minute, Milner drove a corner kick from the left to the penalty area, and Van Dijk, who jumped high at the back point, scored with a flick of his head! 2-2! Leeds equalise!

The situation on the pitch began to turn more favourable for Leeds United, and Li Chengfeng was much more relieved, but Klopp began his madness. Jurgen Klopp rushed to the sidelines, making exaggerated movements to cheer up the players on the field.

Listening to Klopp's inflammatory words, the Liverpool players once again began to put on a frantic show.

In the 70th minute, Firmino's cross from the left side in front of the penalty area was defused by Ederson, who attacked in time in front of the goal.

In the 76th minute, Fabinho sent a precise diagonal long pass to the penalty area on the left side of the field, and Wijnaldum, who followed at the back point, volleyed by Ederson and then the ball flew straight to the goal, and Shaqiri, who was inserted in front of the goal, grabbed the ball and scored with a supplementary shot before the ball completely crossed the goal line! 3-2! Liverpool once again stubbornly put the score out!

The toughness of the Liverpool people made Li Chengfeng stunned, with their style of play, they should have exhausted their physical fitness at this time, and now they can still run like this, which is somewhat beyond Li Chengfeng's cognition. The mental strength of the Liverpudlian people is really strong, and Klopp's ability to fight chicken blood is also unique in the world.

However, when it comes to hard work, Li Chengfeng doesn't think Leeds United will be much weaker. Li Chengfeng continued to adjust, Alai came on to replace Milner, who had lost physical strength, Sane replaced Kimmich, who lacked propulsion, and Leeds United began to attack.

Liverpudlian people are very tenacious, but after all, their physical strength has dropped too much, and they are already a little powerless, and many times they can only rely on fouls to stop Leeds United's attack.

In the 89th minute, Fabinho brought down Sane, who was advancing forward with the ball at high speed, and the referee showed him a yellow card.

Liverpool, who have lost their midfield barrier, are even more stretched down defensively, and their only belief now is that the game is just a few minutes away, and if they grit their teeth and hold on a little longer, they will be able to become the ultimate champions.

Seeing that the 5-minute stoppage time was about to pass, the score on the field was still 2-3, Leeds United was behind, Li Chengfeng was also a little anxious, he stood on the sidelines, signaling the players to press more.

Stoppage time entered the last minute, the referee has begun to check the time frequently, and the whistle may blow at any time for the end of the game, and the Liverpool players are also starting to be in a trance, are they about to become the new Champions League champions?

However, the game was not over yet, in the last moments, Salah sent a long diagonal pass to the penalty area from the right, and Alai in front of the goal turned the ball back and followed up with Mbappe to score with a push! 3-3! Leeds equalised in the last minute and survived!

As the referee blew the whistle at the end of the second half, Li Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief, this time the champion should not have run. Li Chengfeng watched the Liverpool players fall to the ground one after another, and this thought in his heart became more and more affirmative. Liverpool are finished, they won't have another chance.

The Liverpudlians have run out of fitness, their captain Jordan Henderson has cramped, and the Liverpool team doctor is rushing to massage him in the hope that he will recover. The Liverpools' thin squad is finally coming to light, they want to make a substitution, but they can't find a replacement for the main team, and there is one less man on the field.

At this point, Klopp had to compromise and Liverpool began to shrink their defence, hoping to survive extra-time, and only if the game dragged on to a penalty shoot-out would they have a chance to win.

Li Chengfeng has no such troubles, and he has replaced Fernandes, a long-range shot and set-piece master, and James Maddison, who is a good breaker, and he has to settle the battle in 120 minutes.

In extra time, Liverpool's defense finally couldn't hold on, and with Henderson's cramping departure in the second half of extra time, the Liverpudlians fell into a 9-on-11 situation and finally collapsed.

Overtook the score in the 110th minute! Alli passed, Sane cut into the penalty area with 3 people on the left side, and his low left-footed shot from a small angle 7 meters in front of the goal was blocked by Alisson and bounced to the back post, Salah hit the near corner at a small angle 4 meters in front of the goal, 4-3!

Liverpool, who were hit hard, have since conceded two more goals. In the 118th minute, Maddison knocked back on the left, Mbappe burst to the edge of the penalty area and fired a low left-footed shot, the ball was saved by Alisson or rolled into the goal, 5-3!

In the 120th minute, Mbappe burst into the left side of the penalty area and was tripped by Matip, penalty! Mbappe hit the bottom right corner, 6-3!

In a frantic extra-time affair, Leeds United scored three goals in the second half of extra-time to beat an exhausted Liverpool.

It was a very good game, with Leeds United winning the final victory and Li Chengfeng also claiming his sixth Champions League trophy as a manager, leaving everyone else behind.

However, Liverpool are not losers, their tenacity has earned everyone's respect, but it is a pity that they met Leeds United and Li Chengfeng.

Liverpool will be even more terrible next season, they still have the shortcomings of lack of squad depth this season, and next season, Liverpudlian will definitely make up for this weakness in the transfer window, when Leeds United can still win? Li Chengfeng was not sure, he had a personal experience of the madness of the Liverpudian people this time.

There is also Manchester City, who lost the Premier League this season and will definitely invest more next season to try to regain their glory.

The competition in the Premier League is becoming more and more fierce, maybe the Premier League will be Leeds United, Manchester City and Liverpool in the top three era, the other competitors have their own major flaws, and there is no hope of re-emerging for a while, so they can only compete for the last remaining Champions League place.
