The situation is not good, but the situation is not good.
Jon is right.
In Leeds United's current state, they have completed 11 threatening shots in less than 30 minutes, and 7 of them hit the goal frame. Manchester City was completely trapped in their own half for half an hour!
Even the Leeds United fans at the scene began to feel sorry for Dzeko, who was loaned to Manchester City this season. After all, the young man has been standing in Leeds United's half for almost 7 or 8 minutes, and he has not touched the ball once...
But even in this extremely favorable situation, Li Shiguang did not relax. He stood on the sidelines and urged his players loudly not to relax and continue to strengthen the attack.
"Luka, the defensive pressure is not too big now, let Xavi take over the back, you move forward a little, and work with Kevin to give them some strength outside the penalty area!"
"Zlatan, are you taking a walk? Run, you haven't scored a goal today! Get into their penalty area, if you don't beat their defender today, you will be a substitute in the next game!"
"Michael, press on! They can't even get through half the court, what are you doing hiding behind?"
"Great! Kevin, keep it up, pass directly when you see an opening, don't hesitate!"
Manchester City coach Stewart, who was standing next to him, was really angry when he heard Li Shiguang's reckless remarks, but he was helpless. The strength gap between the two players was indeed too big.
Especially the kid who played as a front midfielder.
Stewart really didn't know where Li Shiguang found this genius. It seemed as if his feet were positioned. He made diagonal passes and straight passes accurately, and all of them were behind Manchester City's back line, making Manchester City's two ribs be attacked by Podolski and Torres.
In the 34th minute of the match, Podolski was fouled by Danny Mills while trying to dribble through the left side of Manchester City's penalty area. Leeds United got a free kick about 24 meters away from the goal on the left side of Manchester City's penalty area.
The position of this free kick was very good. Several free kickers in Leeds United were eager to try. After some discussion, Modric, the team's first free kicker, gave the ball to Ibrahimovic, who had not scored a goal today.
After Manchester City lined up the wall, the referee blew the whistle to indicate that Ibrahimovic could take the free kick.
Ibrahimovic first looked up at the goal, then took two steps forward with his long legs, and his right foot rubbed the ball!
The football flew directly from the right around the wall to the gate guarded by James.
Ibrahimovic's free kick was of high quality! Some Leeds United fans sitting behind Manchester City's goal couldn't wait to stand up, and they seemed to be ready to cheer and celebrate in advance.
But it was different from what everyone imagined. The football did not fly directly into the goal, but accurately hit the intersection of the upper right crossbar and the goal post. After a loud "bang", it bounced back into the penalty area!
Suddenly, Manchester City's penalty area was in chaos, and players from both sides rushed to the football. In this chaotic situation, Richards seized the opportunity.
He was standing in front of the right goal post. After Ibrahimovic's shot was rejected, he was the closest to the football. Richards rushed up before everyone else, controlled the football before Torres kicked, and then shook his right foot and took the ball to avoid Torres's pressing and rushed out of the penalty area.
But what Richards never expected was that he saw Alonso blocking him just after he rushed out of the penalty area!
Subconsciously, Richards flicked the football with his right foot again, trying to avoid Alonso's interception.
But Alonso seemed to have known that Richards would do this. He stepped sideways with his left foot, and then the football that Richards had pushed away from his feet was poked out by Alonso! And by coincidence, it was poked in front of Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic, who was still regretting that his shot did not score, could not miss such a good opportunity. Seeing the ball flying in front of him, he drew his bow and arrow again, and kicked the ball hard with his right foot!
"Oh! Ibrahimovic! He found another chance!"
Eddie Gray saw Ibrahimovic shooting and started shouting again!
This time Ibrahimovic did not choose to go to the far corner again, but was very smart to kick a ground shot to the left side of Manchester City's goal!
It made James more painful than the previous goal.
Yes, at this time, Manchester City's penalty area was full of people, and he couldn't see the direction of Ibrahimovic's shot at all!
James didn't react until the ball flew out from the left side of the crowd along the grass. Unfortunately, the reaction time given to him was too short. Before he fell, the ball had already rubbed the goalpost and flew into Manchester City's goal.
2:0, Leeds United expanded their lead!
After the restart, Leeds United slowed down the pace slightly under the command of Li Shiguang, which gave Manchester City a chance to breathe. Although there was no threatening attack, at least it was not so ugly on the scene.
After the two sides stalemate for more than 10 minutes, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.
When leaving the field, the close-up of the camera was also given to the players. The Leeds United players who were joking with each other with a relaxed look on their faces formed a sharp contrast with the Manchester City players who lowered their heads and kept silent!
During the halftime break in the locker room, Stuart hadn't thought of giving up the game. After cheering up his disciples, he also made corresponding arrangements for the tactics of the second half.
But what he didn't expect was.
After a short break, the two sides changed sides and Leeds United, who had recovered 15 minutes of physical strength, launched a fierce attack like the first half of the first half!
Just 4 minutes into the second half, Bale made a high-speed breakthrough on the left and made a cross. Podolski attracted the defense of two Manchester City defenders at the front point, and then Ibrahimovic, who was unguarded in the middle, easily kicked the ball into the goal.
3:0, Leeds United scored another goal!
Then Manchester City, knowing that there was basically no hope in this game, completely let go, and the entire team's front line pressed forward in a big way, trying to score a goal to save face.
But things didn't go as planned.
In the 71st minute, Cannavaro intercepted Dzeko's breakthrough outside the penalty area, and then passed the ball to Modric.
After Modric received the ball, he passed it diagonally to Ribery who was preparing to start on the right side in the backcourt. However, as soon as Ribery started, he was knocked to the ground by Richards who followed him.
To be honest, this was an obvious card-getting action, but De Bruyne, who was inserting at high speed at the same time, didn't care so much. He bypassed the two people lying on the ground, caught up with the football and continued to advance.
The referee saw that Leeds United's attack was still going on, so he took the whistle that was already in his mouth and raised his hands to signal the game to continue!
De Bruyne was almost a one-on-one shot at this time. In front of him were only the last two central defenders of Manchester City who were still following Ibrahimovic and Podolski in the left half.
There was no way. Faced with this situation, Dunn could only give up marking Ibrahimovic and force him here. He wanted to stop De Bruyne or force him to the bottom line! Anyway, he couldn't let him find a chance to threaten his own goal.
But De Bruyne didn't give Dunn a chance to come up. Seeing that he had just left Ibrahimovic's side, he kicked the ball directly and decisively to the middle.
Ibrahimovic, who was unguarded, would definitely not miss this opportunity. After receiving the ball, he dribbled into the Manchester City penalty area and easily pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!
4:0, Ibrahimovic completed his hat trick and completely crushed Manchester City's morale.
Seeing that the victory was decided, Li Shiguang also withdrew several main players in the frontcourt in one breath, and let Pique and others also play for a while.
After more than 20 minutes, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
With these two rounds of double kills against the Manchester City duo, Leeds United finally returned to the top 10 of the standings...
