London, Stamford Bridge.

George Li on the sidelines covered his face with both hands and kept rubbing up and down.

Just now, the referee on duty blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Chelsea players hugged each other excitedly to celebrate their team's progress to the next semi-final of the Champions League.

In contrast, Leeds players are lying on the ground, with most of them covering their faces with their hands or holding their heads.

The game was over when Chelsea opened the scoring at home to Leeds United with a header from a Didier Drogba corner.

In the games that followed, even Leeds United's incessant attacking attempts to rewrite the scoreline failed.

The result was a 2-2 aggregate draw as Chelsea eliminated Leeds United with a crucial away goal.

"It's over, it's over, we're done with this year's Champions League." George Lee said to himself.

Chris Casper, who was standing on the side, clasped his hands to his chest, and after hearing George Lee's words, he said to him: "So, we are going to go all out for the league now." ”

"And the FA Cup." Colin McGee on the other side added with his hands in his pockets.

No one continued to discuss the topic.

While the rest of the Leeds coaches were starting to pack up, Sheridan approached George Lee and asked if he needed to go on the pitch to give his players a little encouragement and help them relax.

"Wait a minute, wait for someone to calm down first, and then we'll go up." George Li stretched out his hand and blocked Sheridan, who wanted to step forward.

At the same time, Speed, McAllister, and Kelly, who had finished packing their things, also walked over, and several coaches stood in a row to watch their players.

"The Champions League is over, how do you feel?" George asked a few assistants around.

"Let's continue in the coming year." Casper shrugged and said he didn't care about losing the Champions League this season.

"It's been a big improvement, at least we've made it to the round of 16 this season, we've made it to the last eight, haven't we?" Sheridan said he was satisfied.

And McAllister and Speed didn't speak, after all, they had just joined not long ago.

"That's right, then let's at least go one step further next year and reach the top 4." George Lee suggested to a few people.

At the same time, the Leeds United players on the pitch also gathered their mood and began to get up one after another, their Champions League game is over, but there are other games waiting for them to fight.

"I thought you'd say win next season." McGee glanced at George Lee and said.

"That's not it, you can't set yourself too high a goal, or it's unreasonable, right?" George Lee gave McGee a blank look and continued, "If you are still far from the goal in the end, it will be very shameless. ”

On the court, Smith pulled up Bale, who was already secretly wiping his tears, and was squatting down to comfort the Welsh youngster sitting on the ground.

"Let's go, let's go too." George Lee said to both sides, and then walked into the court first.

Behind him, several assistant coaches also followed George Lee into the field one after another, and found those young Leeds United players to comfort them.

Bale, Blake, Glenqvist and Arneson are all young and have a lot of time to chase the Big Ears Cup.

There are also Schmeichel Jr., Rose, Sigurdsson, and Milner, Baines, Sneijder and so on sitting in the stands of the stadium, they still have time, as long as George Lee is still at Leeds United, they still have a chance to win the Champions League.

Every year, Leeds United improve.

^^^

"Press, press."

George Lee waved his hands desperately on the sidelines, motioning for his players to plug in.

This is the 36th round of the Premier League and the two sides are Leeds United and Arsenal. Arsenal are now fourth this season, and with two rounds of the league remaining, there is no big suspense about winning fourth and entering the Champions League zone.

Arsenal are now in a stage where they are more than above and more than they are under, Liverpool behind it is no longer possible to catch up, and Chelsea before it cannot catch up.

But Leeds are different here.

Prior to this, Leeds United had been one point behind Manchester United, but in the last round of the league, Manchester United were held to a draw away by Blackburn, and Leeds United managed to win West Ham United and successfully overtake.

However, today, Manchester United beat Chelsea 2-1 in an earlier game, helping Leeds United and themselves to regain the top spot while helping Leeds United and themselves to win two games earlier.

"Hey~"

Seeing that Leeds United had just hit the ball high with another shot here, George Lee couldn't help but sigh.

Looking at the fourth official on the side, who was already holding up his card and signaling three minutes of stoppage time, he felt that time was running out for Leeds.

It's not just time for the game, it's time for the whole season.

If Leeds don't win this game, then Leeds will be the bottom side again in the standings. Manchester United's opponents in the last two rounds of the league are West Ham United and Wigan Athletic, and they are not strong.

Therefore, there is a high probability that Manchester United will win these two opponents, so that even if Leeds United also win the next Blackburn and Reading, it will still miss out on the title.

Therefore, the key to Leeds United's season is in these five minutes.

Arsenal's goalkeeper Fabianski put the ball on the line of the small penalty area and began to kick his legs, shake his hands and delay the time.

It wasn't until the referee urged to no avail that he finally couldn't bear to take out the yellow card.

It's just that Fabianski didn't care at all, anyway, he didn't have much playing time, and he didn't know when he would get a yellow card next time.

Finally, after another half a minute, the ball was passed by Fabianski to Arsenal full-back Klich.

As soon as Klich got the ball, he was immediately caught by Kevin Davis, who was replaced in the second half, and Kuyt, who was transferred to that position after Robben came off.

However, Klich immediately passed the ball back to Fabianski.

Davies can only turn around and continue to press the opposing goalkeeper, because if he doesn't go up and press, who knows how long this Arsenal goalkeeper will grind.

As a result, halfway through, Fabianski passed the ball in the direction of Toure on the other side.

After Toure had the ball, a big kick kicked it forward.

The ball flew all the way to Arsenal's striker today, Bendtner, and the Danish striker actually got the ball.

Leeds immediately had two more centre-backs go up at the same time to try to snatch the ball and then counter-attack.

But Bendtner was very smart and he knew that he needed to delay the game and not give the opposition a chance to break the ball. And the best way is to shoot straight at goal, or the kind that kicks the ball away.

"Whoosh~"

In a similar move, Bendtner kicked the ball towards the Leeds United goal in the centre circle and in the middle of the box.

Sure enough, the ball flew over the crossbar and went straight out of bounds.

Van der Sar hurriedly tried to get the ball to open the goal, but at this time, the Arsenal caddie did not throw the ball to Van der Sar, but ran away.

Van der Sar, who was in a hurry to jump to his feet, had to pick up the ball himself, which wasted a little more time.

The ball was kicked out by him, and Davis stopped it with all his strength before settling into the main position. However, when he turned around, he was poked away by Alexander Song.

After that, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

A disgruntled Leeds player took the lead in the referee, while the Leeds coaching staff here has also approached a fourth official. In such a crucial game, it ended because of Arsenal's frequent delays here and the referee's early whistle, which simply suffocated all the Leeds United players and coaches.

However, all this is useless, and they themselves are to blame for not seizing the opportunity.
