After the pre-match ceremony, Lineker, who was sitting in the media pit in the stands on Elland Road, began his final pre-match introduction: "Before this game, neither Leeds United nor Manchester United have been doing very well. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoManchester United, who have lost the consistency and invincibility they had at the start of the season, have been overtaken by their old rivals Arsenal after their recent lackluster performances in the league and Champions League. Beneath the butt, this season has ushered in the arrival of the Russian rich, and Chelsea, which has created ruble football, is also in hot pursuit, and the catch-up momentum is very fast. In order to secure their second-place position, this game against Leeds United, who are second from bottom in the league, will be a must. ”

"But it wasn't easy. Despite Leeds United's poor performance this season, manager Peterlett is on the verge of being sacked. But I believe that against the sworn enemy Manchester United, they will not let the opponent take the three points at Elland Road so easily. In the words of the pre-match media, it is, 'the game between them is never an ordinary game'. ”

"So, did Manchester United stop the decline and win the game? Or will Leeds United pull off an upset and renew their manager's life? Let's look forward to it! ”

"Toot!"

Just as Lineker pushed the anticipation of the fans in front of the TV to the highest point, the referee on duty of the game, Bol, finally blew the whistle for the start of the game.

United kicked off first, and when Ruud van Nistelrooy knocked the ball to Paul Scholes behind him, Alan Smith, with his striking gray hair, immediately rushed forward like a hungry dog seeing a bone. With him taking the lead, Leeds United's entire formation immediately went up and frantically pressed towards the United half.

Looking at this ferocious and strong momentum, it is simply not like the momentum that the second-to-last in the Premier League should play in the face of Manchester United, which is the second positive in the Premier League. However, this may be the attitude of this sworn enemy match.

It's just that although Leeds United's momentum and positivity are absolutely enough, in front of Manchester United, who have been in a big game for a long time, they want to cause trouble for Manchester United with this little thing alone, which is definitely not enough.

So not surprisingly, they quickly showed off the tricks that the outside world had expected them before the game, with ferocious and somewhat brutal defensive moves and ruthless foul tactics.

Amid the boos from Elland Road, a few skillful kicks between United's midfielders defused the first wave of Leeds attackers. But before Scholes, who was facing his own goal, turned around and was ready to start organising the attack, Milner, who was known for his running ability, was already rushing towards him with great momentum.

Scholes, though, isn't an idle man. I saw that he unhurriedly made a turn feint to the left first, and after deceiving Milner, who was overcharged, he immediately turned to the right again, wanting to take advantage of the time when Milner had no time to adjust his center of gravity, and easily shake Milner with weights, and continue to rush forward with the ball.

But at this moment, Milner, who was about to be completely thrown away by Scholes, saw that it was too late to adjust his center of gravity, but suddenly slammed directly into Scholes, who was turning. At the same time, his raised elbow also applied a forward thrust on Scholes' back.

In this kind of physical confrontation in close hand-to-hand combat, Scholes, who walks in the technical flow, will definitely not be able to compete with a typical English engineer-type midfielder like Milner. In an instant, Scholes, who was about to finish, slammed a on the pitch, and the football under his feet was intercepted by Milner, who knocked him down.

"Hey! He fouled!! ”

At this point, although Keane shouted to the referee to signal that Milner had committed a foul, referee Bol's gesture was very clear, there was no foul, and the game continued.

"Yay!!"

In an instant, the boos at Elland Road Stadium had completely turned into cheers of joy.

Amid a tsunami of cheers from the home fans, Leeds United's first wave of attack after the start of the game was succinct and effective. After winning the ball, Milner was very self-conscious and didn't take a few steps before hoisting the ball straight into the United penalty area.

There, Leeds United's two very impactful and good at running and grabbing shots, Alan Smith and Viduka, have all stepped forward en masse and are ready to steal the spot.

Both men are strong striker types with good shooting skills and a lot of impact. In the face of them, Manchester United's backline did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Rio Ferdinand and Silvesta have both been experienced in the box, with Gary Neville and O'Shea already protected and assisted in the box.

However, Milner's pass was brilliant and found Alan Smith in front with great precision. Seeing a striking white hair, he first pushed Ferdinand hard against him, then turned around and unloaded Milner's pass with his chest, and then without waiting for the ball to hit the ground, he directly turned around and swung his right leg to complete a powerful volley.

However, just as the Leeds United fans were waiting to cheer for the goal, Ferdinand came out halfway with his experienced approach and blocked Alan Smith's shot out of the box with his foot to help Howard defuse the danger. After the ball flew out of the penalty area, it flew directly off the sideline.

Rio Ferdinand has made a big contribution to United's defence, but this is not Old Trafford. Although this is also his hometown, the only thing that disappointed Leeds fans can give him this "traitor" is boos and angry scolding.

Listening to this piercing sound, a hint of complexity flashed in Ferdinand's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal. This is not the first time he has played for Manchester United against his former club, and he is used to it.

"Damn, that's a foul! Isn't that a foul?! ”

At the same time as Alan Smith, the darling of Elland Road, hugged his head and sighed, Ferguson on the sidelines also rushed to the sidelines with experience and roared loudly at the referee Bol. Although Leeds' attack did not succeed, it did not prevent him from expressing his displeasure with Bol's decision.

He was paving the way for the rest of the game, and Ferguson knew that a rough foul by a Leeds United player was inevitable in this game, and referee Bol's penalty was very important for Manchester United.

Ferguson didn't want his players to risk injury to fight Leeds players unless they had to.

His complaint was not endorsed by Pol. In the end, to the applause of the Leeds United fans, he was asked back to the dugout by referee Bol with a serious face.

Ferguson didn't care about that, the only thing he cared about was whether his pressure on Bol's law enforcement standards had any effect.

As the game continued, Ferguson was quick to get the answer, which was no.

Bol's whistle was obviously a bit softer today, and I don't know what the England golden whistle was going to do, as if to allow the players on both sides to decide the direction of the game for themselves, minimising his involvement, and turning a blind eye to some movements.

And this obviously stimulated the range of action of the players on both sides on the field, and as the game progressed, whether it was offensive or defensive, the deliberate element in some actions began to increase.

In the sixth minute of the first half, Scholes received a long pass from O'Shea at the back, chested the ball, and was about to turn with the ball when he was forced to come up by Leeds United left wing-back Pennant on loan from Arsenal with a vicious side tackle to bring it down again. On the bench, Li Lei could see Scholes rolling on the ground several times.

In this regard, the Manchester United players and Alex Ferguson on the field once again put pressure on the referee Bol. But in the angry scolding of Leeds United fans, Bol only gave Pennant a verbal warning, which made Manchester United unacceptable and angry.

Since then, the movement of players on both sides of the pitch has become more and more intense. Anyway, in terms of ferocity and fouls, Leeds United, which has Keane and others at Manchester United, is completely worthy of playing at home.

Then, after that, you're going to see it on the pitch a lot. Keane brought down the Leeds midfielder directly behind him to get the ball, only to be brought down by a vicious tackle from a Leeds United player before he could take a few steps. Then, under the strong protest of the coaches of both sides, the referee Bol still did not issue a yellow card, and only gave a verbal warning to the excited players of both sides.

If Bol's enforcement was considered the most "fair" by Leeds United fans in the first few penalty decisions, then by the 15th minute of the first half, he had become the worst referee on the planet in the eyes of Leeds United fans, and he would have been booed from time to time.

All in all, in terms of performance during this period, today's Bol is definitely a two-pronged leader.

A fierce match between sworn rivals, coupled with an indulgent referee, soon filled the Elland Road stadium with a strong smell of gunpowder.

In the stands, Leeds United fans sometimes cheered desperately, sometimes booed, the players on both sides on the field were merciless, and they would never let go if they could be put down, and the managers of both sides on the sidelines frequently shouted and complained.

Although the game was more than intense, not exciting, it was a typical chaotic battle scene, the game has been played so far, and the two sides have not had five threatening shots together, but Li Lei likes to watch this, it is this fierce scene that will never give in like a war.

It's the kind of scene that excites him more than he scores.

Collisions, quarrels, blood, sweat, boos, scolding, humiliation, fighting... These are the things that attract Li Lei the most in football games.

Sitting on the bench, watching Keane once again Milner fall sideways, and the players on both sides once again pushing together, Li Lei took a deep breath with some trembling, as if he smelled the strong smell of gunpowder in the air, the smell of sulfur that irritated his nose.

It excites him!

A feeding frenzy!!

Even, dementia!!
