In the 21st minute of the game, Roma once again tried to threaten the Leeds United goal with a cross.

Zivo's cross was too deep and was confiscated by the onrushing Edwin van der Sar, before the Dutch goalkeeper launched a direct counter-attack.

A powerful hand tossed the ball and found Baines as he ran forward.

Although Leeds United focused on defense today, they will not miss the opportunity to counter-attack.

Baines stepped forward aggressively, stopping the ball with his right foot and then with his left foot, and was already close to the halfway line.

Panucci immediately came from the flank to press the defence and try to disrupt Leeds' counter-attack.

But Bynes found Van Persie at the front with a diagonal long pass before Panucci arrived.

Roma's two centre-backs have suffered serious leaks.

Max saw Smith moving closer to Bairns, so he followed.

But that gave Van Persie the chance, as the Dutch striker was shrewd to cut in ahead of Mexs and Bovo, unmarked and unmarked until he ran to the edge of the box.

It doesn't matter if Mexes and Bovo didn't see Van Persie, Roma's goalkeeper Doni spotted Van Persie running when he saw Baines' pass, and hurried to attack.

Van Persie kept staring at the incoming ball, while keeping an eye out for Doni in the afterglow.

George Lee raised his clenched hands on the sidelines, trembling incessantly, praying for the attack to score.

If it were a year ago, the Leeds United coaching staff would have been praying that Van Persie would not stop the ball and just find a way to hit the goal. Because Van Persie's stopping technique before the shot is really bad.

But after a season of training, Van Persie has clearly improved a lot.

But this time, Van Persie did not choose to stop the ball, but saw Doni come out and run towards the ball.

George Li was very excited when he saw this picture, thinking that the famous scene was going to be advanced, after all, this picture was too similar.

However, what George Lee didn't expect was that Van Persie chose to use his feet instead of jumping with a header.

After judging where the ball would land, Van Persie stood with his right foot, swung his left side backwards, then leaned to the right and kicked his left leg sideways.

Just like Zinedine Zidane's stunning kick against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League final in 2002, Van Persie's goal was even farther away.

Like a rainbow, the ball crossed a wonderful arc and went over the head of Dhoni who attacked.

Dhoni was already on the outside of the box by then, and he didn't care about any handball outside the box, he stretched out his arms to reach the ball, but it was still a little bit off.

In the end, the ball flew straight into the goal.

1-0, 5-1 overall.

The stadium was boiling, even though it was now at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, and most of the people present were Roma fans.

But everyone in the stadium was amazed by the goal.

"This ...... It was a perfect goal, really impeccable, and even though it was the opponent, I was amazed by the wonderful goal. ”

The Italian commentators were intoxicated by Van Persie's goal.

'Van Persie is not going to stop the ball, what is he going to do...... Volley, volley from outside the box...... Gooooooooooooooooal！！！ ...... I announce that the best goal of this Europa League has been born!! ”

The British commentary is more straightforward, the more wonderful the goal, the longer the "o" in his "Goal" will come.

Later, according to incomplete statistics, Van Persie's goal obtained an "o" that could rank in the top 10 of all commentary goals in the UK.

"Shh~"

After a brief exclamation, the Roma fans erupted in boos, completely drowning out the cheers of the small remaining Leeds United fans.

Because after the goal, Van Persie came to the Roma fans and made a gesture to shut up.

Before the game, Leeds United captain Alan Smith used words to tell the Roma to shut up and stop talking nonsense.

Now, Robin van Persie is telling all Roma to shut up with his actions, football is to be played with the feet, not with the mouth.

"After the injury of Francisco Totti, after the departure of Antonio Cassano, we found out how far our Roma strikers really are from their opponents."

When the commentator of the local TV station in Rome, Italy, was commentating, the camera showed the striker of the Roma team today, Vincenzo Montella.

The face of the "glider" was full of helplessness and frustration.

Dhoni fished out the ball from the goal and kicked it out.

Spalletti was standing on the sidelines, he knew that he had lost, he had been completely eliminated, and with Leeds United's current defense, he couldn't even score a goal, let alone score four or five to turn the tables.

In the last fight, Leeds United used two flanks to counter-attack, like in a boxing match, where the boxer kept hitting the opponent with a left hook and a right hook.

Then in this game, Leeds United hit Roma's face with a straight punch after defending, and directly knocked Roma out.

The game continued, and the ball was still controlled by Roma most of the time, but most of the time it was ineffective possession, constantly pounding back and forth.

And as long as Leeds United defends successfully, they will definitely counterattack directly, which often shocks Roma players and Roma fans in a cold sweat.

After 36 minutes of play, Roma finally mustered up the courage to launch a decent attack.

Mancini Jr. broke through from the left, Milner blindly stretched out his foot to expose his movements, and Mancini Jr. changed direction ahead of Milner.

Then facing Mills who came up, two bikes in a row opened up space and crossed the ball to the middle.

Perrotta, under Parker's marking, deliberately leaked the ball to De Rossi, who was inserted in behind.

De Rossi fired a powerful long-range shot that grazed the crossbar and flew off the baseline.

"Don't eat his movements......" Van der Sar shouted at Milner from behind.

Since the Dutch veteran came to Leeds United, he has steadily become the leader of Leeds United's defence, and once there is a hole in his own defence, Van der Sar will often take the initiative after this defense, and sometimes even scold the defender. But Leeds United's young defenders don't dare to speak up, after all, they are here to win, and they do point out what they don't do well.

"James, be careful......" Smith also took the initiative to run over to tell Milner, who made a mistake.

Gravidson, who was on the side, and Mills, who had just wiped Milner's buttocks, looked at Milner with vicious eyes.

In short, the whole Leeds United team is very motivated, just to win this game against Roma, and to win beautifully, the kind that silences the Romans.

They all know that winning Roma has a high probability of reaching the Europa League final and attacking the European champions, which is what everyone wants.

"Ah~" Milner exclaimed, quickly putting himself into a state of excitement.

George Li looked at the state of his players on the field and was very satisfied.

At the same time, he seemed to be infected by the players, and in the final stage of the first half, he kept directing on the sidelines, loudly arranging tactics and reminding the players, until the referee blew the halftime whistle before returning to the locker room with the players.
