0091 League Cup Final
'The game was over and Stuttgart won 1-0 away at Leeds United through a young striker who came on as a substitute, a goal from Mario Gomez.
"The aggregate score is 2-2, but Leeds United advanced to the last eight of the UEFA Cup by virtue of the advantage of more away goals, knocking out Stuttgart."
"The manager of Stuttgart is comforting the goal-scorer Gomez."
"Leeds United here are a couple of Danish internationals Graveson, Glen Schal, Albchesten, including the unplayed Romerdal who is not on the pitch, talking to Stuttgart striker Thomas when Leeds goalkeeper Pieter Schmeichel also arrived.
"Maybe this is football, where the joy of one side sets off the sadness of the other."
"Whether the team you're backing tonight wins or loses, hopefully tonight's insights will help you face the reality of life tomorrow morning when you open the door."
The commentator was making the final commentary of the game, and George Lee had already shaken hands with the opposing head coach and quickly returned to the locker room.
"Whew~"
Lee, who ran back to the locker room first, exhaled deeply.
The game just now was really thrilling, Leeds United, who had a one-goal lead and two away goals, did not play too actively today, but wanted to use the counterattack, after all, Stuttgart Bilees United was in a hurry here.
Who knew that Leeds United, who had kept the whole game, were almost overturned by the little-known Mario Gomez in the final moments.
After Gomez came on from around 70 minutes, he scored two goals with an overhead kick, but one goal was whistled for a foul by the referee first, and it was not counted, otherwise Leeds United would have been eliminated.
The same thing that has kept George Lee on high terms is that Leeds United have been in too good form lately, and the good is a bit surprising.
Leeds United's win away at Arsenal was followed by a Carabao Cup semi-final win over Manchester United, followed by a 2-0 home win over Sunderland, a 2-1 win away at Stuttgart in the first round of 16 of the UEFA Cup before returning to the Premier League to win Birmingham City 3-0 at home.
George Lee now sees that the Leeds United bow is gradually being fully drawn, and he is afraid that one of them will accidentally break the string.
Because then, three days later, it's the League Cup final.
Then it was the FA Cup against Manchester United, and George Lee now finally knows why Mourinho's hair is gray and Ferguson is going to install a pacemaker.
There is no winter break, and if you have to deal with European competition in the second half of the season, you are too rushed, and you have to finish one game, and you will immediately prepare for the next game, and there is no respite at all.
"Di Di Di ~"
George Lee took out his phone and saw a text message.
Congratulations, today's game was exciting. - Helen
Thanks, we're on to the next round. - Lee
Just now Michael invited me to go to Rome next time, do you think I'm going? - Helen
Go to ...... - Lee
George Li heard a voice behind him, as if someone was singing, so he quickly edited a word "go" and sent it.
Then the door to the locker room was opened.
The players walked in excitedly, and George Lee joined in the celebration.
^^^
George Lee looked at the lineup of Wigan Athletic opposite.
Mike Pollitt, Leto Ziegler, Demi Deziou, Stephen Henkez, Pascal Zimbonda, Paul Schalner, Graham Kavanagh, Jimmy Bullard, David Thompson, David Connolly, and Jason Roberts.
Except for Roberts, Brad, and Zim Bonda, nothing else seems to be a threat
George Lee looked at Leiton Baines again, and he felt that even if he didn't buy Baines from Wigan Athletic, Leeds United was much better than Wigan on paper.
But this is the same team that went from the Championship to the Premier League last season, and this season reached the final of the League Cup, while maintaining a ninth position in the Premier League.
If it weren't for the loss to Tottenham in their last game, they would have been high in the table.
Paul Jewell, the Liverpool-born manager, still has a bit of a way.
Once the game began, Leeds continued to use the 3241 formation that has been used regularly lately, except that today it was Robin van Persie who played up front, with Glen Charles and Romedal on the flanks, and Smith on the pitch to partner Edgar Davies, Parker and Pederson.
The Norwegian midfielder got a rare chance to start today.
Of course, the effect is obvious.
On the 14th minute of the game, Leeds United defended Wigan midfielder Bullard near midfield, and Parker managed to steal the ball from Brad before instigating a counter-attack.
Pedersen retreated from the front to Parker to ask for the ball, and Parker didn't hesitate to pass it directly to him.
Because Wigan played in a 442 formation today, the two midfielders were in parallel positions, and when Brad was tackled, Cavanagh was next to him, and then he didn't retreat immediately, but wanted to grab the ball back, but Parker passed the ball before him.
Leeds United's counter-attack, two wings, Glen Charles and Romedahl, were inserted from both wings, attracting two full-backs.
Here at Leeds United, Robin van Persie, Davies and Smith have a clear numerical advantage against two centre-backs.
Pedersen sent a long left-footed pass straight to the back of the Wigan defence.
Smith kept rushing forward, Wigan defender Deziu desperately stepped back, and both men jumped at the same time near the landing point.
The young and strong Smith pressed the 36-year-old Deziu and headed the ball towards Davies on the left.
Davies used his body to jam Wigan's other centre-back, Henkz, and fought for the second place in football.
He then pushed his left foot behind Smith.
Deziu fought desperately and pulled back, not wanting Smith to turn around.
But he was wrong, Davies didn't give the ball to Smith, but to the unguarded Van Persie.
Robin van Persie slotted into the box from the right and got behind Smith.
Single Blade.
Smith has been playing as a right winger for more than half a season, and this kind of ball is simply a breeze.
Stop the ball with your right foot, lean to the right, stand with your right foot, and volley with your left foot.
Van Persie also doesn't play angles, he just uses violence to solve problems.
If the ball had been played by Thierry Henry on the left, it would have been 100 per cent with a right-footed shot.
But Van Persie is different, it's a violent volley.
"Knock~"
The ball flew over the head of Wigan goalkeeper Mike Pollitt, who was already crouching down and ready to pounce on his feet, and it was too late for him to reach for it.
Van Persie, who saw the ball fly into the net, did not celebrate, because he did not know if the goal was offside, and he remembered that Davies was parallel to the opponent's Deziu when he passed the ball, although he could not confirm it.
Wigan's defenders were all raising their hands for offside, and Robin van Persie looked at the linesman.
The linesman did not raise the flag, and the referee also blew the whistle to signal that the goal was valid after seeing the linesman nod to him.
1 to 0.
George Lee is getting closer and closer to his first championship trophy.
