Chapter 1021 - Shooting and Breaking the Goal

The ball touched Gao Xiaodong's leg and went out of the bottom line, and Stoke City kicked off the goal.

Stoke City were completely on the defensive, naturally not daring to reverse the ball at the back, goalkeeper Sorensen kicked the goal kick out with a big foot, and the ball flew over the half of the field and fell directly in front of Rio Ferdinand.

Rio Ferdinand's header is headed over to Paul Scholes, who drops back to get the ball.

Ferguson let Giggs play in extra time, which is to use him as a key force to break the enemy, Scholes and Giggs have worked together for so many years, and they also trust Giggs the most, Scholes took the ball and turned around, and handed it directly to Giggs.

Giggs did not break through the side when he received the ball, although he had just come on the field and had good fitness, but after all, he was old and explosive still could not compare with young people, even if the opponent's physical strength declined, he did not dare to guarantee that he could break through.

Although United now have an absolute possession advantage, Stoke City do not fight back at all, even if the breakthrough fails, it does not matter, but Giggs does not think so, as the veteran of the team, he feels that he should play the role of a big brother at this time and play a quality attack.

In the face of Wilson's defence, Giggs rushed forward two steps, made a sharp stop, and immediately passed the ball back to Scholes, who was leaning over, and he was about to run back, but suddenly turned and cut behind the defender.

Scholes knew what Giggs was trying to do with his eyes closed, and he didn't prepare to stop the ball when Giggs returned the pass, rubbing his toes and rubbing the ball behind the opposition defender.

It was a normal combination, but because there was too much understanding between Scholes and Giggs, there was no pause between the passes, and although Wilson had been following Giggs, he was still a step slower, and was grabbed in front of Giggs and passed the ball into the box.

Ryan Giggs' pass had already broken through the wide defence, but United's goal-grabbers were unable to get a shot from Stoke's dense central defence and the ball was tackled off the line by Hutter.

Manchester United win a corner.

Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic both came to Stoke City to battle for the ball in the box.

Ryan Giggs took a corner and the ball flew into the box and was again picked up by defender Huter, who headed it just outside the box.

The ball was cleared, but Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic did not return to defence and remained in the Stoke penalty area.

The ball returned to the feet of Manchester United again, and Scholes, who was dragging behind the defense, hoisted the ball into the penalty area, trying to disrupt Stoke City's defense and fish in troubled waters.

At the moment, Manchester United has five players in the penalty area, Stoke City has at least eight players in the penalty area, so many players in the penalty area, even if the judgment is right, it is difficult to grab, the ball fell into the penalty area, Ferdinand and Shawcross fought together, pulled each other, no one was able to exert force, the ball smashed on Shawcross's head did not go far, fell into the penalty area.

Three or four people rushed to the ball, some tried to push it out, some tried to shoot, but the ball fell to the ground under the combined efforts of everyone.

There are too many people in the penalty area, no one kicks the ball, the ball is doing irregular movements, and if it is not good, it will go into the goal.

Gao Xiaodong also got the opportunity to kick it, but unfortunately he didn't know who the kick touched or where it bounced, and in the end the ball was touched out of the bottom line.

Even the baseline referee couldn't tell who the ball was touching, but the referee gave Stoke a goal kick out of sympathy for the weak.

The goal kick fell to the United players again, and the United players continued to lay siege to the Stoke City penalty area.

Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes switched positions on the flanks before Giggs burst through the flanks and shook off the defenders.

For a split second, there were no defenders in front of Ryan Giggs, only goalkeeper Sorensen stood on the right side of the goal.

Ryan Giggs could shoot, but he didn't know if there was anyone around him to block, so he gave up on the shot and instead crossed wide for Scholes.

After Scholes saw Giggs burst into the penalty area, the players of Stoke City contracted and suppressed, and Gao Xiaodong didn't know when to retreat from the penalty area to the front of the penalty area, there was no one around him, he decisively crossed to the front of the penalty area to find Gao Xiaodong.

The two passes were so unexpected that goalkeeper Sorensen only moved towards the middle of the net when Paul Scholes crossed.

This is a rare opportunity, Gao Xiaodong did not block the players in front of the shooting line, Gao Xiaodong did not choose to volley hard, but used the outside instep of his right foot to meet the ball lightly.

Gao Xiaodong's ball flew high, over the heads of all players in the penalty area, and flew towards the upper left corner of the goal like precision guidance.

Gao Xiaodong's ball is very powerful and not fast, and if goalkeeper Sorensen is standing in the middle of the goal, he can save the ball 100 percent.

But goalkeeper Sorensen had just moved down the middle when Gao Xiaodong shot at goal, and by the time he moved to the left and jumped up, the ball had already flown into the net against the post.

1:0

In the 10th minute of extra time, in the 100th minute of the whole game, Gao Xiaodong broke through the gate of Stoke City with an extremely exquisite shot.

The goal was too difficult to score, and after the goal, Gao Xiaodong was so excited that he couldn't help himself, he took off his jersey and ran to the stands with a crazy wave.

"Entered!"

"Hooray!"

"Ahh

"Oh my God!"

"Gao Xiaodong has scored!"

……

After hitting so many posts in a row, the United fans and players did not dare to applaud and cheer easily, until the ball was fully in the net and the referee's hand pointed to the centre circle, and they finally began to cheer.

Sixty or seventy thousand Red Devils fans jumped up and shouted together, just like a volcano erupting, magma erupted, and its huge momentum was like the sky falling apart.

The on-site commentators were also crazy, "High, high!goalgoalgoal...... Manchester United! Manchester United finally scored! In the 100th minute, Manchester United finally broke through Stoke City's iron bucket formation! Gao Xiaodong's coquettish shot! Let the iron bucket formation collapse in an instant! The champion beckoned Manchester United again! Manchester United's first title of the season is coming soon......

Ferguson, assistant coaches and substitutes rushed to the pitch like crazy, hugging the players in the pitch as if the game was over.

They held for 100 minutes, but they didn't expect to be hit by Gao Xiaodong's seemingly inadvertent shot!

For Stoke City, the only weight they had to win was their defence, and once they were breached by Manchester United, it meant losing because they simply couldn't attack.

Pulis clasped his head in his hands and muttered to himself, "There are only 20 minutes left!"
