Chapter 31 I’ve got you(2/2)
But, who said he would stop the ball?
Cole didn't stop the ball at all, he chose to head the ball directly behind the right side!
There, Lennon used his speed to get rid of the right back and caught the ball steadily!
It turns out that their target was still Lennon, but they just took a curveball.
Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Lennon once again showed his superb dribbling skills. With a light change of direction, he passed the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the empty goal.
3 to 3!
Ten minutes after Levi came on, Leeds United equalized the score again!
Lennon excitedly hugged Carlton Cole who sent the assist. They were really holding back the goal before this goal!
I didn’t expect that Li really has two skills! Maybe, he... is he really a trustworthy teammate?
After experiencing the sharp contrast between the first twenty minutes and the last ten minutes of the second half, Lennon suddenly felt that it felt really good to have Li behind him!
Rooney kicked angrily, and a mixture of turf and soil rose up on the field. Who is Rooney? He is England's number one genius! How can he lose to an unknown person?
Fortunately, the anger did not destroy Rooney's reason, and he soon had a new idea.
I can't get rid of you alone, but what about others?
You know, football is never a one-person sport!
※※※※※※
A few minutes after the equalizer, Levi suddenly noticed a change in his opponent's movement.
In the past, Rooney always ran to open areas with no people, so that he could have enough space to fight with Levi.
But it's different now. He seems to be deliberately getting into the crowd.
This kind of running reminds Levi of the pick-and-roll tactic in basketball. In basketball, it can be solved by switching defenses, but for him, this is obviously not possible.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This is undoubtedly a conspiracy. Whether it is Leeds United players or Everton players around Rooney, they will become obstacles to Levi, and he has nothing to do yet.
This made Levi very uncomfortable. He almost lost his opponent several times, but Rooney's teammates hesitated before passing the ball, allowing Levi to survive.
However, what is supposed to come will always come.
In the 82nd minute, Everton attacked. Rooney had already run to the center of the frontcourt, and Levi naturally followed him closely.
Richard dribbled the ball forward from the wing and glanced at his teammate who was responding in the middle. Vaughan had already reached the arc of the penalty area.
Richard quickly crossed the ball.
Rooney suddenly moved at this moment. He galloped away in the direction of the ball, followed closely by Levi.
Since Rooney's position is exactly between Richard and Vaughan, it is theoretically possible for him to intercept this ball in the middle.
However, just when he was about to catch the ball, Rooney suddenly made a jump step to the right.
Levi only felt that a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Unable to stop the car, he collided with the other person!
It turned out that Ward was already on defense in front of Rooney, but it was hidden by Rooney's back, so Levi didn't notice.
Rooney's concession caught the two of them off guard, knocking each other off their feet.
The ball was naturally put aside and Rooney accepted it with an honest smile.
Stop him!
Levi and Ward, who fell to the ground, shouted out in unison.
But there was no response.
The defense line of the four defenders is still at the penalty area line. After losing the barrier of the two defensive midfielders, Rooney's front is flat!
At this time, Rooney has many options. He can continue to push forward to attract the defense, and then wait for opportunities to move into space, or he can solve it himself.
That's right, at a distance of less than thirty-five meters, he is completely within Rooney's shooting range.
But what Rooney didn't expect was that the moment his right leg was about to hit the ball, his supporting leg suddenly became weak and he actually slipped!
The defending center back Raheem quickly stepped forward and cleared the ball.
Rooney naturally did not expect that the previous fight with Levi consumed too much physical energy. For him who had just recovered from injury, it was really overloaded. In addition, he did not get the ball for nearly ten minutes and suddenly got the ball.
Some couldn't adapt, and ultimately missed this opportunity.
Levi, who had just gotten up, breathed a sigh of relief.
Levi's brain began to work at high speed. He knew very well that if this continued, he would no longer be able to restrict Rooney. He must find a way to defeat the enemy.
But Rooney's response was so bad. Even if Leeds United's teammates could dodge smartly in time, Rooney could still use his teammates to cover him.
Just two minutes later, he created such an opportunity. It was Everton's attack again. Rooney crossed all the way and rushed past his midfield teammate. When Levi wanted to follow closely, E
Fulton's players tilted their bodies intentionally or unintentionally.
Unable to dodge, Levi hit him hard and knocked him down.
Rooney, on the other hand, has easily caught the ball.
Fortunately, the referee did not call the penalty in favor of the attacking team, but instead called Levi's off-ball foul.
This allowed Leeds United to escape death again and made Rooney very angry.
This can't go on like this! Is there any way to limit Rooney?
Levi was thinking hard, but out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of Rooney, who was yelling angrily, and he suddenly had an idea.
Yes, Rooney still has a fatal weakness!
That's his hot-tempered and irritable character.
Rooney has received seven red cards in his career. For a striker, he is definitely a big player. Especially when England has a gentleman striker like Lineker who has never received a yellow card in his life, this guy is even more impressive.
I am irritable by nature.
Especially in the early stages of his career, when he became famous as a young man, he was arrogant and did not know how to restrain himself, and he was more likely to be angered. The red card he received when he stepped on Carvalho in the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup was proof. Later, he became the leader of Manchester United and things got better.
Many.
As for how to anger Rooney? Ha! Isn’t this simple?
While Rooney was still fussing about the referee's decision, Levi approached the opponent and whispered in a disdainful tone:
"Are you afraid? Or will you just hide behind your teammates?"
"Do you dare to go one-on-one with me? I will defeat you!"
How could Rooney, who was already furious, be able to withstand Levi adding fuel to the fire like this? He was like a bull that had seen red, breathing heavily, his cheeks were red, and his eyes almost burst out of fire.
"I will nail you mosquito here with my own hands!"
