Chapter 166
In the 22nd minute of the game, Alan Smith's goal helped Leeds United equalize at home.

"WWOWOWWOWOWO, the goal was...Alan..." The high-pitched voice of the announcer at Elland Road rang out.

"...Smith!!!!!!" Leeds United fans in the audience responded. In the KOP stands where the Leeds United fans were, the camera captured the portrait of Leeds United's No. 9 shooter, in the night wind of Leeds, against the wind. shaking.

…………

"Oh oh oh!! Leeds United equalized the score!! Alan Smith's goal is very beautiful, but we want to say that Li Rui made an important contribution to this goal, the match between him and Albertini With cooperation, they broke through Vieira's defense, and Li Rui's breakthrough on the wing completely attracted the attention of Campbell and Lauren... We just said that Li Rui's performance was mediocre, and he immediately surprised everyone!" Huang Jianxiang All of a sudden, he jumped up on the commentary seat, raised his arms and shouted.

"The youngsters of Leeds United rushed to the sidelines, what are they doing, eh? What is written on the jersey? This is their blessing to their teammates, and they are waiting for Neil Gilckney to return! I don't know what is going on now. Did Neil Gilckney in Germany see, you can see, the Leeds boys have a great relationship."

…………

Old guys like Albertini, Ian Hart, and Alan Smith, who scored the goal, ran to the sidelines and waved their arms towards the stands with the young people. The captain of Leeds United patted Li Rui on the shoulder, "Boy, how could you Hiding it from us."

"Good job!" Albertini said with a smile, "At least I, the captain, didn't think of it."

Li Rui laughed and scratched his head in embarrassment. They really didn't expect to tell these veterans that the boys were also in the locker room. Don't look too lonely. At this time, Neil Gilckney needs encouragement and support the most.

There was enthusiastic applause at the Elland Road Stadium, and even the Arsenal fans who were equalized gave applause. This applause has nothing to do with the game, but is given to a young player who needs support and encouragement.

…………

Eddie Gray was on the sidelines, waving his fists and laughing unscrupulously. This goal is really wonderful. It can be said to be a typical "Arsenal-style goal". Scoring a goal like this made the head coach of Leeds United very excited, and it seemed that his entire face was shining brightly and began to swell.

On the other side, Wenger looked helpless. Wenger smiled bitterly and sat on the coach's bench.

For Li Rui's wonderful assist, he really feels a bit bitter. The Arsenal head coach can be said to be one of the first people who really discovered the talent of this player, and he knew that this kid would not join Arsenal. Under such circumstances, he still moved his love for talents to help Li Rui pass the genius clause and obtain a labor certificate. However, he did not expect that Li Rui would make himself suffer so quickly. However, Wenger also knew that he had already As he should have thought, this kid whom he favored would never be buried, he believed in his vision.

"We saw the helpless smile on Wenger's face. Speaking of which, both Leeds United and Li Rui himself would like to thank Wenger. If it weren't for his help, Li Rui would not have been able to get a labor permit. I believe that at this time, Arsenal The head coach must have mixed feelings." Huang Jianxiang looked over from the commentary booth, and he could see Wenger's expression clearly, and his analysis seemed to be quite appropriate to the mood of the 'professor' at the moment...

************
The game has returned to the starting line. It seems that the two wonderful goals just now squandered too much passion from both sides. In the next game, the game reached a stalemate, and neither side got a good chance.

In the 36th minute, Arsenal staged a threatening attack. Pires dribbled the ball from the wing and knocked the ball to Bergkamp, ​​who skillfully shook Richardson a little bit, but , Fortunately, Richardson stabilized his center of gravity and was not rushed by Bergkamp. Bergkamp chose to pass back, and the ball reached Fabregas' feet.

Fabregas stretched his foot and stopped the ball. He looked ahead and decided to take the ball himself. Pennant came up, but he obviously didn't pay attention to this Arsenal No. 15. For this new Arsenal star, Pennant, who had just transferred from Arsenal to Leeds United, would naturally not have a good face. In his opinion, this Spanish kid was nothing more than that.

Cesc Fabregas pulled the ball and dunked it, and then accelerated, so he dodged Pennant's long legs neatly, and then took two steps, seeing that Richardson was still in Bergkamp Fabregas looked in the direction of Leeds United's goal and decided to try his feet.

…………

Just when everyone thought he would continue to dribble, Fabregas swung his leg and kicked a long shot!
The shot came so suddenly, not only did Radebe, who was in charge of this defensive area, not react, even the goalkeeper Carson didn't expect that he turned his head almost subconsciously, and saw the ball cross a strange arc The line hit the crossbar and bounced back into the field. Carson quickly hugged the ball tightly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

The ball was not scored, and Fabregas looked at Carson who was holding the ball tightly with some reluctance, then scratched his hair regretfully, turned his head and ran back.

Only then did the Leeds United fans let out a long breath. Looking at the arc from the stands just now, the ball was almost spinning towards a dead corner. Everyone thought the ball was going to be scored.

…………

Wenger stood up on the sidelines and applauded his disciple's shot. Then, the professor nodded in satisfaction and sat back on the coach's bench. Fabregas could have transferred the ball to Reyes' feet at that time, but , This Spanish boy did not pass the ball to his compatriots, but chose a long shot. In Wenger's view, this is not sloppy. This is a manifestation of the self-confidence of this big Spanish boy.

Watching Vieira come over and pat Fabregas on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement, Wenger's mind jumped, 'What if Francisco wears the captain's armband one day? '

Even the professor himself was taken aback by his own idea. He didn't know how he had this idea. This big Spanish boy is only 17 years old. Besides, after Vieira, there is Henry, after him And Campbell... How could I think of this Spanish boy... Wenger shook off this thought and looked into the field.

…………

Wenger was very satisfied with his disciple's performance, but, on the Leeds United coaching bench not far away, Eddie Gray was angry like a roaring lion. He rushed to the sidelines, almost yelling, "You guys! What are the two guys doing, that number 15 is a human, not a stake!! Keep an eye on him! Jermaine, Frazier, you two idiots!"

"Damn it!" Richardson didn't take the initiative to come up to fill the seat. He knew he was wrong, and shouted at the head coach with a displeased face, "Got it, boss."

Pennant's face turned black. He was naturally upset when he was played by this Spanish boy. The boy was scolded by the head coach again and spit on the turf, "There will be no next time. Already." This sentence seems to be responding to Eddie Gray, more like saying to himself.

…………

Eddie Gray's roar was so loud that it was impossible for Arsenal's bench to hear it clearly. Hearing the Leeds United manager call his players 'dumbs', Arsenal's bench for a while Laughter, even the professor himself laughed, he turned his head and asked the assistant coach, "Is he also this hot when he plays football?"

Rice also smiled, "Better than now."

"Look, let me just say that the job of coaching is the most stressful job on the planet..." Wenger shrugged, and the Arsenal assistant coach was also amused by the professor's humor.

"It seems that Arsene is in a good mood." Rice thought, he looked at the time, there were six or seven minutes before the end of the first half, and it seemed that it was not unacceptable to be able to end the first half with a score of 7:1 .

***********
After scolding the players, Eddie Gray sat down on the coach's bench again, looking confident. He looked at Erlang's legs, took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket, slowly peeled off the wrapping paper, and put it in his mouth , It looks like chewing with relish.

However, Arsenal immediately made Shi Shiran's Leeds United coach break out in a cold sweat.

In the 43rd minute, Campbell tapped the ball to Ashley Cole, who then began to dribble along the wing.

After Ashley Cole took the ball for a distance, he suddenly turned the ball around. Vieira, who got the ball, directly hoisted the ball to the other side, where Bergkamp stopped the ball on his chest, and then moved the ball forward. After avoiding Milner's grab, he passed the ball to Pires who came up to meet him.

Pires suddenly accelerated, wading past Ian Hart who hurried up to make up for it, and then went all the way to the bottom. Near the baseline, Pires passed the ball into the penalty area with a beautiful arc.

In the penalty area, Reyes squeezed Radebe who was stuck next to him, jumped high, and made a beautiful lion toss.

…………

The ball hit the goal. In front of the goal, Carson almost subconsciously blocked it with both fists. The ball bounced back into the penalty area, which caused chaos in the penalty area. Fabregas stretched out a kick in the chaos, and the ball It hit Henry's calf and changed direction. After rubbing against the upright, he still rolled out of the bottom line...

"It's dangerous. Carson must have been in a cold sweat. He was able to save Reyes' header just now. It was not easy. Leeds United's goal was in chaos. Arsenal completely suppressed Leeds during this period. Union."

On the sidelines, Eddie Gray couldn't sit still anymore. He came to the sidelines, yelled at the inside, and waved his arms. He asked the players to quickly launch a counterattack.

Seeing this gesture, Leeds United captain Albertini, who had returned to the penalty area, yelled at goalkeeper Carson, who was still in shock, and made a gesture at the same time.

Carson immediately took the football thrown by the ball boy from the sidelines, and directly threw the ball to attack!

…………

The sidelines have already raised the electronic signal sign for the 1-minute stoppage time of the first half. After several consecutive kicks, the ball reached Milner's feet. Milner did not stop the ball, but directly knocked the ball. feet.

Li Rui was in possession of the ball in Arsenal's half, and the referee Michael had already put his whistle in his mouth. As long as this attack failed, the whistle at the end of the first half would sound at any time.

Li Rui knocked the ball to Alan Lennon who came up and advanced. Everyone knew that this was the last chance to attack in the first half, and Leeds United also pressed all the way.

Alan Lennon dribbled the ball, and Ashley Cole, who had returned to the penalty area, immediately greeted him. He lowered his center of gravity and followed the young Leeds United cautiously. For Alan Lennon's speed, Arsenal The left back does not dare to be careless, a little negligence will lead to a big mistake.

Alan Lennon pretended to cut inside and passed the ball when Ashley Cole came up to get stuck. Albertini got the ball in the middle outside the penalty area, and the Leeds United captain also rushed up.

…………

"Albertini has the ball, can he shoot from long range?" Huang Jianxiang asked everyone's doubts. You must know that the Italian veteran has a strong long-range shooting ability.

"Are you going to take a long shot?"

Albertini raised his right foot, but it was a fake move. When Vieira came up to block, the Leeds United captain dexterously pulled the ball, and then suddenly wiped it, breaking through Vieira's defense. When Bettini's long hair fluttered, the Arsenal captain's shocked expression could be seen in the camera. He did not expect the 32-year-old veteran to be able to make such a beautiful appearance at the end of the first half. The movement, can also sprint...

The fans of Leeds United were overjoyed and applauded, dedicated to their captain. Although this was Albertini's first season in Leeds United, the professionalism, experience and ability of the Italian veteran were also praised by the fans. Respect and love.

"Beautiful! Albertini!! A breakthrough! He can't tell that he is a 32-year-old veteran at all!"

………………

Albertini, who entered the penalty area, was not in a hurry to pass the ball or hit the goal. He swung his left foot behind the ball and made a fake pass. Jump up and block with your body.At this time, Albertini buckled the football back with his left foot and passed Lauren!
Breakthrough, second! !

On the sidelines, even the head coach of Leeds United, Eddie Gray, was stunned. No one thought that Albertini would have such a wonderful consecutive breakthrough. Of course, 10 years ago, this kind of breakthrough was nothing. But you must know that the 32-year-old Italian veteran has even considered retiring before the season...

Leeds United fans shouted frantically, proud of their captain!
…………

Lehmann was already ready for battle. He stretched out his arms, bent his legs slightly, adjusted his stance in small steps, and lowered his center of gravity to seal the near corner.

To everyone's surprise, Albertini passed the ball!
Pushing the arch of the foot, the ball sticks to the turf and rolls quickly towards the back of the goal.

Surprised, Campbell immediately fell to the ground and shoveled at the rolling football, but failed to shovel it, and the ball rolled past him!

Later!

empty!

A white figure appeared there like a ghost.

…………

After Li Rui knocked the ball to Alan Lennon, he was cruising around in the penalty area, running back and forth non-stop, which made Cesc Fabregas who was following him exhausted. On the other side, Toure was tight Staring at Alan Smith, no one dared to relax about Leeds United's No. 9 shot.

When Li Rui saw that Albertini made continuous breakthroughs, and when Albertini dunked Lauren, Li Rui suddenly moved forward desperately, Fabregas stretched out his hand in shock. Pull, but feel that Li Rui's jersey is not slippery, it is sweat!

At this time, Albertini's ball also arrived, and Li Rui faced the ball, all he had to do was push it lightly...

2:1! ! !

Leeds United unexpectedly overtook the score.

***********
Albertini seemed sure that the Chinese boy would not let him down, he was so confident!
Veteran, ageless heart! !

Albertini raised his hands and stood in the penalty area of ​​Arsenal. Beside him was the 27-year-old Lauren with a dead face, and not far away was the 28-year-old Vieira with an expression of unspeakable loss and astonishment.

He's standing there smiling, in the Arsenal box, with his hands up, as if he'd done it 5 years ago, 10 years ago...he'd done it countless times!
The players of Leeds United rushed towards him like crazy, like a rising tide, drowning their captain in the crowd...

…………

Li Rui rushed over all of a sudden, like a child, screaming, rushed over, staggered over, jumped on Albertini's body, patted the captain's shoulder, People said he was disrespectful, but no one would mind, and even they could not wait to come up and take a pat on the back.

The Elland Road stadium was crazy, people were stomping their feet desperately, everyone gave a standing ovation, and gave the warmest applause to the veteran and the captain of the team.

…………

"Brilliant! It's unbelievable. Albertini has driven the stadium crazy. When Leeds United brought in the 32-year-old at the start of the season, no one thought he was going to make it. Now, look, look at him. A wonderful breakthrough and assist...Perhaps Prandelli is the one who regrets the most now.” In this summer, Albertini offered to join Fiorentina, but Prandelli declined.

Not far from the commentary booth of Sky TV, is the commentary booth where Huang Jianxiang is. Originally, this game was specially for Li Rui, but now...

"I think many fans in front of the TV will be ecstatic. We saw a ten-year-old Albertini! He is still so young, who dare say he is old! Long hair fluttering... in Milan, in The Italian national team, how many good memories he has brought us..." Huang Jianxiang almost shouted, "32-year-old Albertini, breakthrough, pass, 19-year-old Li Rui, goal! This is it This game is the greatest moment of the night! We will never forget it! Demi! I am old and aiming for thousands of miles!!!”
