Alan Smith turned and took two more steps towards the middle before slotting the ball to Graveson.

Then Graveson went straight to the left front with a through stopper, because Gary Neville followed Smith out on the right side of Manchester United, so his back is now empty, and Davies "Wild Boar" took the opportunity to insert Manchester United into the ribs.

It's just that this straight plug is too strong because of Graveson's pass, Davis didn't catch up and went out of the bottom line.

Davis, who is now 32 years old, although his physical condition is okay, but he has exploded in the past and his speed has decreased rapidly, and he really can't catch up with the ball just now.

In the end, the two have cooperated for nearly two seasons, and they both stretched out their hands to express their problems, one is to signal that they have passed big, and the other is to signal that they have not caught up.

Keane's termination, Paul Scholes' eyesight problems, and season reimbursement have suddenly made Manchester United's midfield empty. It's okay to play a weak team, but when you play a strong team, Ferguson feels that he doesn't have enough hands.

It's still the sprint time for the league, and Ferguson thinks about giving up the domestic cup competition.

Ferguson is this idea, but George Lee is different here, Leeds United is full of soldiers this year, and the health problems of the players in the second half of last year are still fine, because of the rotation, the players have no major injuries.

For the remainder of the first half, Leeds continued to press United with their midfield superiority, and at one point even Mathieson and Mills took turns in front of the United penalty area.

Robinson, who failed to save the penalty, was also bent on making up for it, and his shot in the face of Leeds United was also high and low, resolving many shooting crises.

And Vidic can also faintly see the feeling of "command tower" in later generations, cooperate with the defense line to deal with Leeds United's attack, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

The two sides have been at a stalemate, and it is about to go to halftime.

At this time, someone stole the show.

Smith still takes the ball on the left flank, doesn't break through, just protects the ball under his feet.

Neville suffered a loss, so he didn't dare to play a second time, always keeping an eye on his left, and Weiss Brown also subconsciously leaned over to fill this position.

Smith started to go to the middle, but there were too many people in the middle and there was nowhere to go, so he passed the ball back to Parker.

Parker got the ball and moved to the right and passed to the feet of Graveson, who played as a central midfielder today.

At this time, Manchester United's defensive focus began to shift from the right side to the left, and people leaned in.

There were two centre-backs in the box and two midfielders outside the box, and they couldn't pass in at all.

Gravison continued to pass the ball to the United defence.

The ball was passed by Gravison to Mills, who had just arrived.

Then Mills stopped the ball under his feet, and when he looked up, no one came up.

Then he took a step forward, looked up again, and no one came up.

He took another step forward, looked up again, and no one came up.

Mills found that it was almost in front of the penalty area, and no one had come up yet.

He picked up his right foot and kicked it.

The ball arced and flew towards the far post.

In front of the door there was a quick fall.

Paul Robinson, who had just been watching Leeds on Mills' side, was a little close to the front post and saw the ball fly towards the far post and quickly stepped back.

But it was too late, and Mills' ball flew straight into the goal and hit the side-netting inside the goal.

2 to 0.

Mills scored a miraculous goal to extend the score.

Mills stood still after the goal, still not believing that he had just scored a goal, knowing that his teammates had pounced on him, touching his bald head to congratulate him.

"Good ball, won."

George Lee stood on the sidelines, waving his fists excitedly.

With a 2-0 lead in the first half and no cards in Ferguson's hand to improve the midfield, George Lee felt that the game was already in sight.

'Don't be too confident and forget that we were leading Manchester United that day and then we were overturned in the second half. Kidd poured cold water on the side.

"No, I'm going to kill those two points for Manchester United today." George Lee is talking about Xiao Xiao Luo and Rooney, two points that can change the situation if they are unreasonable.

"What do you think Manchester United can do about the situation they are in?" Kidd asked him.

"Today?"

"No, the next game. Without Keane and without Scholes, what would Ferguson do? ”

"If it were me, I'd let Wayne Rooney drop back and play as a midfielder or a central midfielder, this kid is organised."

"Isn't he already a shadow striker?"

"No, you have to be behind, otherwise there will be a disconnect between the midfield and the front, and you won't be able to get the ball in front of you."

'You've always thought differently, Alan Smith has changed you to a midfielder, Robin van Persie has changed from a left winger to a centre-forward, you have moved to the right this season, Frenkie de Jong has changed you from a midfielder to a midfielder, and I won't talk about Milner's boy. Sometimes I feel like you're really a weirdo. ”

George Lee smiled and didn't answer Kidd.

I can't tell you that I came back in time, and I know everything about the next ten years.

"Why don't I go talk to Ferguson in a moment?" Kidd continued to quease Ferguson.

"Rooney retreated, was he willing to do it?"

^^^

Ten minutes into the second half, George Lee looked at Kidd with wide eyes.

"I didn't say it, I really didn't say it." Kidd waved his hand desperately.

"Look at the field, can I believe it?"

After the start of the second half, I don't know what happened, Ferguson really let Rooney retreat to get the ball, Rooney, don't look at him strong, in fact, he is clever.

Once you have the ball, you can play the ball to the two wings, or you can go directly to Ruud van Nistelrooy in front.

That's right, in the second half, Ferguson directly replaced Saha and replaced the "king of the small penalty area" Ruud van Nistelrooy.

This time, it caused a great threat to Leeds United's defense, and they no longer dared to press so unscrupulously in the first half, after all, they lost the last game against Manchester United.

And Rooney also received Ferguson's instructions to dare to fight, dare to pass, and dare to lead. Anyway, if you lose the ball, you are not afraid, and there are two back midfielders in the back to fill the hole for him.

It's also that Rooney hasn't found his feeling yet, otherwise this game is really hard to say.

In the 77th minute of the second half, it was Rooney's attack.

After getting the ball in midfield, he forced a way out of Parker and De Jong, and then found Xiao Xiao Luo who was inserted, Xiao Xiao Luo crossed from the side, and Ruud van Nistelrooy successfully grabbed the point in front of the goal and pulled the score back.

2 to 1.

The situation became uncertain again, but fortunately, George Lee adjusted in time and increased the defensive strength against Rooney, so that the score of 2-1 was maintained until the end.

"Boy, count yourself lucky."

When the master and apprentice shook hands after the game, Ferguson said.

It is not known if he was referring to Mills' goal or a couple of chances United had in the second half.

"Old man, I said, I won this game today, and I will win the League Cup."

"Hmph, I'll talk about it next time."

Ferguson was talking about the FA Cup, as the two teams were drawn together in the fifth round of the FA Cup, with a clash ahead of Manchester United's home game against Leeds United on 30 March.
