Leeds scored just after the start of the second half.

Woodgate's long ball from the back found Smith on the left, who had already killed behind Finnan.

The opportunity was rare, and Smith didn't choose to hold the ball and wait for others.

It was to rush directly in the direction of Liverpool's goal.

Carragher came in from the penalty area and Aagher came from the flank.

Smith doesn't care, it's just rushing, it's bring.

Forced through the middle of two Liverpool defenders.

It's just that as soon as he stepped into the penalty area, he saw Reina attacking, and he was not far from him. There are chasers in the back, there is interception in front, Smith shoots when he pulls his legs, and he doesn't choose any angle at all, hanging shots and the like, and kicks at the goal.

Reyna was also worried that Smith would choose to shoot or something, and was ready to save when he saw Smith get up.

The ball sank hard, and Reyna reached for it. He didn't dare to pick it up at all, so he could only choose to block it.

Reina's left hand blocked the first shot, and then because the ball was so powerful, the ball flew upwards instead of going far away.

As for Reina himself, he sat on the ground because of the ball.

By the time the Liverpool goalkeeper got up again to get the ball, Smith had already come to the position and started to jump, and Carragher behind him tried his best to stop it, but there was nothing he could do.

Everyone at Liverpool watched as Smith headed the ball into the back of the net.

1 to 0.

Leeds scored a goal from a counter-attack launched directly from the back.

Seeing this goal, George Li saw the shadow of the mainstream playing style of several teams in the Premier League in his previous life, that is, the attack launched through the backfield organization, which was fast and effective.

That's why a centre-back with the ability to play the ball will be worth a lot. While defending, you can also participate in the offense.

It's just that George Lee knows that the goal just now is estimated to be a flash of inspiration for Woodgate, and several Leeds United central defenders still have a long way to go before they can meet the requirements of future generations of central defenders.

Liverpool wanted to launch a counter-attack after being scored, but unfortunately today, Liverpool faced Leeds United's double midfield, the protection in the middle was very good, and Gerrard and Alonso had few long-range chances.

Leeds United launched the attack today, with most of the other than the one who scored the goal at two full-backs. Because today Leeds United didn't have a lot of pressure on the wings.

Baines and Mills were involved in a variety of ways, and after halfway through the first half, Leeds United's attack on the right put a lot of pressure on Liverpool's left.

Reese often comes back to help Aurelio defend.

Benitez kept asking his team to counter-attack and wanted to take the initiative in attack.

Leeds United also gave face to Lee's meaning. After scoring a goal, he shrinks, and then uses the ball at the back to attract Liverpool to attack, which consumes the physical energy of Liverpool players, but instead allows his frontcourt players to get enough rest and wait for opportunities to launch counterattacks.

As the minutes passed, the situation became more and more unfavorable for Liverpool, and finally under the constant urging of Benitez, Liverpool's overall defense pressed forward to snatch the football from the feet of Leeds United.

Under the bag of Liverpool, Mills' ball was snatched by a Liverpool player.

Reese, who grabbed the ball, was too impatient and wanted to attack immediately.

After a little look at the box, he passed the ball to Leeds United.

Granquist firmly stuck the tall but not very strong Crouch and jumped up to top the ball.

Outside the box, De Jong jammed Alonso, unloaded the ball with the instep of his foot, and turned past Alonso, showing his skills as an attacking midfielder.

After a glance, I saw Milner on the right and went straight to the foot.

Gerrard was also seen, as he was on his way to the pass to break the ball.

But it was a step too late, and Gerrard's down-to-the-ground tackle failed to stop De Jong's pass.

Milner picked up the ball on the flank and took a step forward over the halfway line.

Because of Liverpool's heavy press, there is no one at the back.

Milner started straight from midfield and was a one-on-one goal.

After running for dozens of metres, Milner found his way into the Liverpool penalty area.

Reyna attacked, but not completely, and stood on the line of the small penalty area.

With Hyypia at the back already in place, Milner couldn't go down the middle, and Reyna did his best to get Milner's shot angled.

But Milner didn't take the credit, and the ball was passed by him and crossed between Hyypia and Reina.

Outflanked Kuyt arrived ahead of Carragher.

The former top scorer of the Eredivisie sent the ball into the empty net.

2 to 0.

Liverpool has no hope of turning the tables at all, and then Leeds United is defending to the death, do you Liverpool still dare to attack like this?

Is it entered into the third?

Is it entered into the fourth?

Benitez pushed his glasses, wondering what to do.

George Li also pushed his glasses, thinking about who would go up next to move his body.

“JR！”

George Lee called out to Arneson, who was pretending to run around to warm up, and the young man's face was flushed and his forehead was a little sweaty. I don't know if I think it's caused by the warm-up very hard, but in fact, it was made by celebrating together after Leeds United scored just now.

Forget it, just warm up, and go to the fourth official for a while to wait for the replacement and stretch it again.

"Young, you go up and change the captain, today you try on the left side, use your speed, just like on the right side."

"Then if I replace the captain, will the captain's armband be worn for me?" Maybe it's because the situation is so good that Arneson dares to joke with George Lee during the game.

"Get out!" George Lee scolded, then pushed Arneson to the fourth official.

2 minutes later, the ball went out of the sideline, dead ball.

Leeds made a substitution, replacing the number 22 for the number 17.

In the end, Arnaison's dream did not work out and Smith gave the captain's armband to Van der Sar before being substituted.

Arneson started to work as soon as he came on and showed extreme discomfort on the left flank.

Because the left foot is not used often, it is easy to be tackled by the opponent's fullback when dribbling with the right foot, and it is easy to be restricted by the opponent to the side.

Finally, there was a perfect breakthrough, using speed to shake off Finnan, and then when the baseline dunked the ball back, he used his right foot, but he didn't get it right, and the ball went out of the baseline.

"This kid ......"

George Li, who was on the sidelines, also laughed when he saw it.

I don't know if next season if Robben is gone, let him play on the right side will be the same at the beginning.

In the end, Liverpool, who were short of major generals, did not make any more waves, and Leeds United won three points 2-0, further narrowing the gap with Manchester United.

^^^

In the following games, Leeds United also ushered in a wave of four consecutive wins in the second half of January.

Following the takeover of Liverpool on the 16th.

They won 1-0 at Aston Villa and then beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 at home.

Finally, in the 4th round of the FA Cup at the end of the month. 3-0 beat Wolves to the ground.

After losing Robin van Persie, Leeds seem to have found their attacking touch again.

George Lee flipped through the team's matchup for next month.

The league is against Manchester United, Bolton, West Ham, Wigan and Everton, and then there are two League Cup games to play against Nancy. There is also an FA Cup game against Middlesbrough.

George Lee picked up his pen and drew a circle on February 1, the first game of February, against Manchester United.

This game was played well, and Lee felt that he would be very comfortable in February.
