"Leeds United's quick counterattack is still on the left."
"Look at Robertson's dribbling this time. Manchester City's defense is also very fast."
"Leave it to Mbappe."
"Left corner of the penalty area, fake move, cut in laterally, and then pass to Vardy..."
"oops!!!!"
"A great opportunity for Vardy!"
"The ball wasn't parked well, it was a bit sticky, and it was too close to hit with enough force and angle."
"Goalkeeper Ederson was stuck in his position and confiscated the ball."
"This was Leeds United's first shot of the game, which took place in the 28th minute."
"I have to say that Manchester City's performance tonight was very dominant."
"Up to now, Manchester City's ball possession rate has reached 73%, and they have taken 6 shots, while Leeds United only had 1 shot."
"On the scene, Leeds United are really at a disadvantage."
"This is the Champions League final, and Manchester City's players are obviously more experienced."
"Just like just now, Vardy was in the penalty area and couldn't handle the ball well under the pressure of Stones and Kompany."
"It should be said that there is still a gap between Leeds United's players and Manchester City in terms of player strength in certain positions."
"If Harry Kane had played the ball just now, I believe he would have been able to catch it."
"That's what a high center forward does, but now, Harry Kane is wearing a Manchester City shirt."
"Pochettino obviously felt very sorry for missing this opportunity on the sidelines. I wonder if he regrets selling Harry Kane at this moment?"
…
In the Amazon Stadium, the fans of the two teams were shouting clearly and intertwined, which seemed a bit chaotic.
The game lasted for almost half an hour. Neither Leeds United nor Manchester City scored. However, in terms of offensive threat, Manchester City clearly had the advantage. They took 6 shots and 2 shots on target. Coupled with the disparity in ball possession rate, Manchester City had a clear advantage.
Occupied an overwhelming advantage.
But this is 2019, not 2009.
If it were 2009, everyone would still be worried about not having too much possession of the ball.
But ten years have passed, and the tactics of Guardiola and Barcelona that win without scoring are not unfamiliar to fans at all, and everyone is used to it.
Over the years, have there been many games in which they have overwhelming possession of the ball and ended up losing completely?
Leeds United's right wing was extremely depressed. Although there was not much pressure on the left wing, it had to rush to support the right wing. This resulted in Leeds United's entire offense playing very poorly and never being able to pose a threat.
Many times, it is Mbappe or Vardy who is fighting alone.
If one person challenges the other party, he will know the result without even thinking about it.
It wasn't until the 28th minute that Leeds United took the first shot of the game.
In this home ground that I am most familiar with, this should be the first time that Leeds United has been so embarrassed by its opponents.
But inside the stadium, Leeds United fans were still shouting slogans in unison to cheer for their team.
Outside the stadium, near Elland Road, tens of thousands of Leeds United fans gathered, all of them supporting the team and defending the Amazon Stadium.
Many of them can't even watch the live broadcast on the big screen and can only watch it through their mobile phones.
Therefore, telecommunications companies arranged for multiple mobile communication vehicles to come to the scene to support the Champions League final.
Although this group of Leeds United fans did not enter the stadium, their shouts from outside could still be conveyed into the stadium, forming an overwhelming force.
But this will not change the disadvantage on the scene.
…
"Manchester City started to feel a little overwhelmed." Gao Shen said with a smile.
Everything has pros and cons.
Manchester City is very strong, but Leeds United's ability to reach the Champions League final is by no means a fuel-saving lamp.
On the scene, as long as Manchester City's suppression weakens slightly, Leeds United's counterattack will immediately come to the fore.
No, in the first half hour, Leeds United didn't have a shot, but now they have one.
There is no such thing as chance on the court, because both sides are trying their best to kill chance.
Leeds United can counterattack on the left and form a shot. This in itself is a sign that Manchester City's suppression ability has weakened.
"If you wait a little longer and hold on, you'll have a chance," Wenger said.
Ferguson sighed lightly, "The darkness before dawn is the most difficult!"
The three of them, Gao Shen, are all world-famous coaches and have experienced hundreds of battles. Naturally, they all know the reason for this.
Time is the cruelest ruler on the football field!
No matter how good the tactics are, no matter how talented the players are, they will all succumb to time.
And many times, the closer to the end of the game, the easier it is for players to make mistakes after their physical energy is exhausted and their willpower is reduced.
Gao Shen has also realized that the more times like this come, the more tense the situation becomes.
Sure enough, Manchester City soon launched a more violent attack.
First, Gareth Bale from the left suddenly made a diagonal pass to the outside of the penalty area. After receiving Hazard's pass, he directly shot a cold arrow slightly higher. Then David Silva made a diagonal high ball into the penalty area. Harry
Kane's header was saved by Alisson.
Two consecutive shots almost resulted in a goal.
This also made the Manchester City fans in the stadium soar, while the Leeds United fans were slightly nervous.
…
"Man City's corner kick chance."
"We see David Silva taking the corner kick."
"Through the penalty, I fell behind."
"De Ligt headed the ball to clear the ball."
"Leeds United's defense of this corner kick was well organized."
"But Manchester City still has possession of the ball and is still organizing and planning the attack."
"This time the ball is on Manchester City's right."
"Leave it to De Bruyne."
"Harry Kane came over and Ruben Dias poked the ball out."
"Rakitic and Milinkovic-Savic are fighting for the ball."
"Robertson gets the ball and rushes forward."
"After Leeds United stole the ball, they immediately launched a counterattack forward."
…
When Robertson dribbled the ball out of his own 30-meter area, Manchester City's defense was still within Leeds United's half.
This is not surprising at all, because once Guardiola's team suppresses the opponent, they simply want to play the entire game in the opponent's half.
Mbappe stayed on the left side with his back to the sideline, waiting for Robertson to pass the ball.
Not only that, he also gestured to give the ground ball.
Jerome Boateng ran over immediately, while De Bruyne entangled Robertson. Midfielder Rakitic was also preparing to come over, forming a partial defensive formation of three people, and Leeds United's
Two offensive players on the left were suppressed near the sideline.
It's best to grab the ball, but if that doesn't work, neutralize the attack.
But Mbappe is obviously well prepared.
When Robertson's pass arrived, he did not directly catch it, but kicked his teammate's pass forward with his right foot.
Mbappe's sudden kick caught Jerome Boateng, who was not close, a little off guard.
The football flew out from Boateng's side and flew to the ground very fast.
But when Boateng first realized something was wrong, Mbappé, who was originally stuck to the left sideline, ejected at an extremely fast speed like a supercar with deep oil on the floor.
The German central defender was just in a daze when he saw that Mbappe had shaken him off and sprinted forward quickly.
"Stop him!!" Boateng shouted.
After Mbappe caught up with the ball he just passed, Boateng didn't even have the possibility of chasing back. Only Rakitic, who had been returning to defense just now, continued to speed up to catch up, but he was already far behind.
I can't catch up.
But at this time, Manchester City's two central defenders who were lagging behind, Stones, quickly rushed over.
Mbappe rushed to the 30-meter area of Manchester City, suddenly slowed down the rhythm, and when Stones ran over, he passed the ball to the center.
This sudden pause and cross made Stones hesitate, and he immediately slowed down. Looking over, he saw that Vardy had also intervened.
This cunning fox always hangs between the central defender and midfielder, and now he finally got his chance.
Just when Stones was hesitating to defend Vardy, he saw Vardy facing Mbappe's cross and pushed the ball behind him without stopping.
After Stones came closer, the gap between him and Kompany widened.
The ball passed between the two people and into the penalty area.
Stones turned around immediately, but at this time, Mbappe, who had just slowed down, suddenly accelerated again in a very short period of time and started to surge again.
This time, the French winger was really like a runaway wild horse, throwing away Stones and Rakitic who had finally caught up behind him at an extremely fast speed, and quickly caught up with Vardy's kick.
The ball behind the back.
It was at this moment that the entire Amazon Stadium erupted in exclamations.
Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson decisively abandoned the goal and rushed straight towards Vardy's pass.
The speed competition between Ederson and Mbappe decided the winner in just a moment.
The answer is, Mbappe is faster!
The French winger was like a bolt of lightning. He rushed in front of Ederson in an instant. Facing Vardy's pass, he dunked lightly with his right foot, just past the charging Ederson, allowing the Brazilian goalkeeper to directly
It came up empty.
After dunking Ederson, Mbappe caught up again and pushed the ball with his left foot.
The ball received force and went straight into the goal behind Manchester City.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!"
"36th minute, 36th minute, Mbappe!!!"
“Leeds United scored!!!!!”
After Mbappe's push shot, his speed did not slow down and he quickly rushed to the bottom of the stands where the Leeds United fans were sitting. He put his hands under his armpits and put on his own celebration gesture.
It was also at this moment that the entire Amazon Stadium burst into crazy cheers from Leeds United fans.
Everyone is shouting!
"This is Leeds United's second shot of the game, a sharp counterattack from French winger Mbappe."
"This speed is really too fast!"
"We can see that Manchester City's entire defense line pressed up, but Mbappe penetrated the defense line at an extremely fast speed."
"The whole process, no one can even catch up with Mbappe's speed."
"He's like a supercar, unstoppable!"
Leeds United fans at the Amazon Stadium were shouting Mbappe's name, and Pochettino was even more forgetful on the sidelines waving his fists.
And when the live broadcast camera switched over, Guardiola was seen on the sidelines taking a bottle of water and drinking it in big gulps.
But his eyes could not be concealed, and they were full of disappointment.
