Chapter 265
Two minutes into the second half, Sheffield United took the ball and organized an attack.
After Montgomery received the goal kick from goalkeeper Kenny, he turned around and passed the ball diagonally to Quinn in front of him while Toure hadn't caught up yet.
And Alonso was sticking to Quinn.
If Quinn wanted to control the ball and then turn around with the ball, it would definitely be impossible.
So he didn't stop the ball, but used his body to forcefully lean on Alonso behind him. When the ball rolled in front of him, Quinn directly rubbed the ball under his right foot and hung the ball in the direction of Leeds United's penalty area.
Under Alonso's constant interference, Quinn's pass was actually not good.
With his back to the goal, he had no vision at all, so in the eyes of others, his pass was more like a random kick out of helplessness.
Facts proved that it was indeed the case.
At this time, the two forwards of Sheffield United were running, but no one was running towards the landing point of the ball.
Stead was behind the ball, while Richards ran a little faster and was close to the Leeds United penalty area.
In this case, Kompany would naturally not let the ball land successfully. He should have defended Richards closely, but he ran forward two steps, and after judging the landing point, he jumped high, ready to head the ball back to Sheffield United's half.
Until here, Leeds United's defense was OK.
Even Li Shiguang couldn't find any fault.
But if nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected would happen!
Because Kompany, who jumped high, did not head the ball back to Sheffield United's half!
He made a mistake that all defenders in the world would make, and it was extremely fatal.
Kompany missed the ball!
The football did not hit his forehead as expected, but unfortunately landed on the thick part of his head, and then happily bounced towards the Leeds United penalty area.
As luck would have it, Richards, who had thought that this offensive opportunity had gone to waste, was right there!
"Danger! Kompany made a header!" Lineker warned immediately, but the Leeds United players on the field could not hear his voice.
Richards was not without other Leeds United players.
Alves and Cannavaro were both in their positions, but they were too far away from Richards, and no one could stop Richards from receiving Kompany's "wonderful pass" at the first time.
Richards, who received a great gift from heaven, did not hesitate. After the ball landed, he ran all the way with the ball without being defended, and it took only one or two seconds to break into the Leeds United penalty area.
Then facing the attacking Schmeichel, Richards, who ran to the penalty spot, aimed at the lower left corner of the Leeds United goal and kicked a half-high ball. The ball flew into the Leeds United goal along Schmeichel's body!
1:1
In the 47th minute of the game, Richards, who had just come on in the second half, helped Sheffield United to equalize the score miraculously!
Richards was very excited after scoring the goal.
He turned around and approached his teammates, and then a group of Sheffield United players ran to the corner kick point together, facing the stands of Elland Road Stadium, put their hands behind their ears, and made a listening gesture.
How could the fans of Leeds United tolerate such an extremely provocative action.
For a while.
There was a lot of scolding in the stands, and countless mineral water bottles were thrown at the stadium.
Whether they could call their names or not, almost every Sheffield player was given the most wonderful blessings by the fans of Leeds United...

"Ah-no! Hey..." After saying the previous sentence, Lineker didn't open the microphone until he saw the football flying into the gate of Leeds United, and then he covered his face and uttered three unobjectionable syllables.
"Kazim Richards!!!" Jon was not as disappointed as Lineker. He even explained with a little excitement: "Sheffield United equalized the score just after the second half!! The two teams are back on the same starting line!!"
After saying this, Jon turned his head to look at his partner with a dull look, and said in a teasing tone: "I said, Warnock must have formulated a special tactic. As soon as Richards came on, didn't he see the effect?"
Lineker, who was in a low mood, didn't realize that Jon was counterattacking his previous ridicule.
He pouted and looked at Kompany, who was kneeling on the ground with his head in his arms on TV and tortured himself, and muttered softly: "What the hell is this special tactic? It's obviously Kompany's mistake! It shouldn't be like this. He and Cannavaro are the two most stable points of Leeds United. Why did they make such a low-level mistake in such a crucial game..."
····
Simeone hasI dare not approach Li Shiguang anymore.
Ever since Kompany’s header, Li Shiguang, who had been standing on the sidelines, had not moved. Even after the ball flew into his own goal, Li Shiguang did not change at all.
It was not cold in Leeds around 5pm.
But Simeone, who was sitting on the bench behind him, could clearly feel a hint of cold air coming from the front.
Li Shiguang was very angry! He had never expected that Kompany, who was usually the most stable, would make such a mistake!
When he first saw Kompany’s header, he was a little unresponsive. It was not until Richards scored that Li Shiguang realized that the problem was serious!
The main thing was that once this ball went in, Sheffield United could retreat back to defend again!
····
Just as Li Shiguang guessed.
After the game resumed, Sheffield United retreated across the board. Just like the first half hour of the first half, they would never cross the midline without a perfect opportunity.
The players of Leeds United seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem and launched a fierce attack around the penalty area of Sheffield United!
Li Shiguang also kept directing the players to press forward on the sidelines. They didn't have much time to waste.
Simeone had been paying attention to the news at Old Trafford. Manchester United was still leading Sunderland 1:0.
If Leeds United could not equalize the score in the later time, the championship trophy that was close at hand would be given to Manchester United.
But compared with the first half.
Now it is not easy to deal with Sheffield United, who are united, morale is high, and they are determined to keep this draw. Several times, Leeds United's shots close to the goal were blocked by Sheffield United's defensive players.
And as time passed.
The opponent who was hiding in his own half and defending desperately played a big joke on Li Shiguang!
Leeds United, who were eager to score, were seized by Sheffield United and launched a fatal counterattack...
