Football God.

Kaka's opening goal in the second half sounded the clarion call for Leeds United's counterattack.

The significance of a team's midfielder lies in scoring goals and in defense, but their greatest role is to serve as the engine of the entire team, adjust the rhythm of the game, and connect the front and rear players. This is what an excellent midfielder should do matter.

In terms of mastering the rhythm, Sneijder is exceptionally good, and he is also a well-deserved core player on the court.

From the first day Sneijder came to the team, he knew his position in the team.

Compared with fame, Sneijder is not as good as Kaka.

More than age, he wasn't the youngest either.

Compared with qualifications, there are more pure Leeds United players in the team, and there is no shortage of him.

However, Heinrich handed over the No. 10 jersey to him, and the task assigned to Sneijder was also very clear——

Goals can be handed over to others, defense, and someone can arrange for him. Sneijder's task is the core of the team, the real brain on the pitch!

No matter who will partner with Sneijder, it is still the Dutchman who will sort out in the end.

Everyone heard what Heinrich said during the halftime break. For Sneijder, he knew better who those words were addressed to.

Sneijder was the most exhausted on the court, and Sneijder was also the most depressed.

Heinrich didn't name names, he was concerned about the face of the players, while Sneijder didn't raise his hand to signal that he was going to be substituted, he was protecting his dignity.

He's a professional, and from the moment he steps on the turf, he's going to give his all for this team to win.

This game lacks a coach, and it is a tough battle for Leeds United.

After all, there is no one on the sidelines who can appease the players' emotions, and everything has to be mobilized by the players themselves. This is a test, and Sneijder doesn't like letting himself fail the exam and leave.

Kaka's goal relieved his pressure to a great extent and gave Sneijder more room to play.

Soon, the players discovered that the Dutchman, who was invisible in the first half, suddenly became active!

He will not only appear near the midfield, but also frequently use long-range shots to create murderous intentions!

There are not many players who like long shots now, and Sneijder is undoubtedly one of them.

While trying, Schalke 04 felt the pressure.

Raul, who was sitting off the court, couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up, walked towards his head coach, and said in a low voice, "Sir, I want to play."

Cecienko looked at Raul, hesitated a little, then nodded, and asked the assistant coach to take Raul to warm up.

This scene was watched by Heinrich who was sitting in the stands of fans, and he shook his head gently.

Bertram immediately asked, "Sir, are you feeling unwell?"

Heinrich waved his hand. He didn't mind being treated like a glass man. After all, his bodyguard had been frightened before, so it's normal to be cautious.

He stared at Schalke's bench, lowered his voice and said: "The head coach of each team has its own coaching style, but there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, you must have your own ideas." Hein Richie's voice paused, "Whether it's a right decision or a wrong decision, he will stick to it."

Heinrich didn't go to Raul at first, and Heinrich understood Cecienko's thoughts.

If Schalke wants to play fast in this game, it is necessary to send a young and impactful player.

If you really can't stand it anymore, you can replace Raul at that time, and everything can be restored.

Now that Raul has volunteered, Cecienko changed his mind, which made Heinrich feel helpless.

Bertram hesitated for a moment and asked, "Shouldn't there be a substitution?"

"It's time to change." Heinrich shook his head after finishing speaking, and did not continue.

But Bertram heard what Heinrich meant.

A head coach must stick to his own ideas whether the tactics are right or wrong.

However, this acting coach not only did not insist, but also made a wrong decision.

Probably not many people in the locker room will listen to him in the future, and the possibility of becoming a full-time player is very slim. Regardless of whether they win or lose this game, Schalke may have to look for a new coach.

And this conversation did not affect the progress of the game, especially for the players on the field, the game is far from over.

With a total score of 5:3, Leeds United has four away goals. This is a huge advantage, but Leeds United is not satisfied with it.

No one has forgotten the military order they issued during the halftime break, but this game is going to win, but it is still 2:1 behind...

You must attack, you must attack, and you must attack resolutely!

Halftime hard work in exchange for not going bankrupt, this deal is a good deal.

Probably Heinrich's words played a completely positive motivating role. The whole team is united to break through the opponent's goal!

The situation of "unresolute offensive and defensive will" that the leading teams have did not appear at all. On the contrary, Leeds United's forward pressure is very firm!

Just before Raul came off the bench, Leeds United passed a corner kick and pierced Schalke's goal again!

The score was equalized, the goal gap between the two sides became three goals again, and the German team fell into complete passivity.

Leeds United's offensive continued unabated, but Schalke seemed to have lost his will.

This is the second game of the Champions League knockout round, and it is less than 20 minutes from the end of the game.

In 20 minutes, scoring three goals at Leeds United's home court and keeping a clean sheet... sounds like an impossible task.

Everyone was giving up, but Raul wasn't.

He left Madrid, which he has always loved, and went to Germany. Although there was Schalke's kind invitation, there were also some Raul's selfishness.

He wants to prove himself...

Prove that I am not old, prove that I am still in shape, and prove that I can still show my talents on a stage like the Champions League!

In order not to confront Real Madrid head-on, he will not choose other clubs in La Liga.

Not to make Real Madrid fans sad, he did not go to top leagues like the Premier League and Serie A.

Relatively speaking, the influence of the Bundesliga is not as high as that of several other leagues. It is relatively comfortable here, and the fans are enthusiastic and somewhat xenophobic.

Raul used his ability to gain a firm foothold, so the next thing he wants is naturally results.

This achievement has to be won by himself, and he is unswerving about it.

Raul's offensive continued unabated, causing a lot of pressure on Leeds United's defense.

They won't give up their offense, but with such a top player who is single-mindedly eager to break through his own goal, there must be no omissions in the back line!

Makelele felt that he couldn't run any longer. He was no longer himself. Age was indeed the player's biggest enemy, but he still didn't raise his hand, and he didn't signal his colleagues to replace him from the field.

Even though Mark came and felt that Heinrich would not really blame them, the French defender still didn't want to sit on the bench easily.

It is the self-esteem of the players, and it is the self-cultivation of the stars.

Any player who has ever been honored will never forget the responsibilities on their shoulders!

Isn't the meaning of a star to stand up when the team is in trouble?

With a clean tackle, Makelele shoveled the ball from his former teammate and passed it straight to another former teammate!

After Raul lost the ball, he swayed for a while, but he didn't fall down, but was about to turn around and chase back quickly.

At this moment, what he saw was the back of a familiar blonde with fluttering hair...

This is a scene that makes Raul feel strange. In Real Madrid, Guti's position often appears behind Raul.

Whether he is serving as a midfielder, a striker, or being forced to play as a defender when the team is full of injuries, Guti will always be diligent and do everything he should do.

Raul has never encountered too many scenes of watching Guti run forward like this.

But this blond man wearing a white jersey with the number 14 printed on the back made Raul a little dazed.

In a trance, this is still the majestic Bernabéu, and he and I are still teammates, and the outstanding blond man will still send a key pass, raise a bright smile, and call himself to celebrate together.

But this time, it was not Raul who received the pass from Guti, but Lewandowski!

A through ball is as precise as a scalpel, and Guti is also actively running after passing the ball, looking for a possible second landing position.

This stems from his sensitive sense of smell on the court and the excitement in his head for the team to win!

But Lewandowski, who was offside successfully, lobbed the ball after receiving the ball, easily expanding the score again!

In the thunderous cheers of the audience, Guti patted his chest vigorously, opened his arms, and caught Lewand who was running towards him with a bright smile.

If you don't believe me, the familiar blond hair flutters, but all these make Raul gradually stop in his tracks.

At no time did Raul realize so clearly that he had left Real Madrid and the place he loved all his life.

It was not until this moment that Raul really realized that the stubborn and self-willed boy who seemed to never grow up had really belonged to another team.

The only thing that remains the same is probably that he still wears a white shirt, guarding the pure white color in his heart in this seemingly childish way.

They were friends, even brothers, but now that they were rivals, Raul's mood calmed down.

When the final whistle sounded, Leeds United was celebrating their victory, while Schalke was lying on the turf in despair. Some young players even covered their eyes, as if they couldn't bear the blow of being reversed.

Redondo stood on the sidelines, smiling and applauding, because he knew that this was Leeds United's best record in Europe, and they hoped to break through history!

Glory belongs to Leeds United, light belongs to the White Rose.

Today's Leeds United, both players and fans, have enough reasons to revel!

But Redondo did not join their team of Arhats.

One reason is that Redondo feels that he is not too young. If he is knocked, he will not be able to recover as quickly as a young man, so it is better to be careful.

Secondly, it was because Redondo saw Raul standing on the court with his hands on his hips, looking at the sky calmly, not knowing what he was thinking.

In fact, in the player era, the relationship between Redondo and Raul was closer than that of the willful and stubborn Guti.

This is a good boy, and adults like good children.

Of course, Redondo, who is now working together, has discovered Guti's cuteness, and is even very fortunate that Guti can maintain this simplicity until now.

However, when he saw Raul's expression, Redondo still felt a little more worried.

He wanted to go over to appease him, but found a white figure trotting towards Raul.

Hearing the voice behind him, the long-standing tacit understanding made Raul subconsciously reach out and hug him into his arms without even turning his head.

Guti put his shoulders on his shoulders with a smile. He looked like a good brother. He did not hide his joy after winning the game. His eyes were bright and he said to Raul: "Let's exchange jerseys. Last time I took When it comes to Schalke’s home jersey, this time just give me your away jersey, I’ll make a set, and I can keep it for my collection when I retire.”

After hearing this, Raul grabbed the collar with his backhand without any objection, and took off his clothes.

Guti also put his jersey into Raul's hand, and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be sad, there is still a chance next year."

In Guti's view, Raul is his captain, but also a person who can succeed in anything.

Although Guti, who is full of thoughts of "Real Madrid is the best and Real Madrid is the best", doesn't know much about Schalke, but he feels that this team has Raul, so it will not be difficult for them to continue to break into the Champions League next season.

Raul seemed to be comforted by these words. He is not the kind of young man who would lose his soul because of the gains and losses of a game. The experienced Mr. Raul has regained his composure and jokes: " Next year? How can I remember someone told me that no matter what team he goes to, he will retire and return to Real Madrid in a year at most."

Guti coughed lightly: "A plan is a plan, and reality is reality. If I really retire, I don't know whose son Etok will be in the future!"

Although the relationship with Kaka has eased now, Guti has never forgotten that this person has been staring at his son!

My son, who was brought up with great difficulty, has such a good football talent, why should I give it to him for free!

Of course Raul didn't know what happened, but seeing the vivid expression on Guti's face, he couldn't help showing a smile, and stretched out his hand to rub the man's hair.

But his eyes were looking at Redondo, and the two looked at each other, and they both understood each other's thoughts instantly.

Redondo: Thank you for taking care of him all these years.

Raul: You will be the one who will work hard in the future...

There seemed to be a bit of joy on the court, but in the stands, Heinrich stood up with a smile on his face.

While the fans were still celebrating, he quickly bid farewell to Adams, then dragged Bertram and left the fans stands.

At the end of the game, UEFA's ban will no longer be in effect, and Heinrich can enter the team's locker room smoothly.

He wanted to wait here for the children who had returned victorious and to congratulate them.

However, the players might be stopped by reporters before they come back, and the locker room seemed a little too quiet, so Heinrich took out his mobile phone and started updating the news.

In the next second, his eyes widened slightly.

Bertram leaned over curiously, and saw the headlines on the news——

"Nine-man Manchester United draw with Chelsea, extra time is about to begin! "

...Nine people? !
