Chapter 321: Penalty!

Luka Modric raised his hand for the ball and Carlos passed the ball over.

Mata began to rush forward and make a gesture to match up with Modric.

Luka Modric did pass the ball.

United's defensive centre of gravity immediately shifted to Mata's side.

Juan Mata had the ball at his feet and Brown immediately came up to mark it.

Mata suddenly pulled the ball sideways, and then suddenly picked up speed, making a breakthrough momentum, Brown hurried up to the position, only to see the Spanish international dunk the football back again, however, Mata had no way to continue to break through, because Carrick came to fill in the position.

Just then, Juan Mata suddenly passed the ball out.

Diego Milito drops back to catch the ball.

***********

"Vacancy!" shouted the Italian commentator.

Milito dribbled forward and when his body made contact with Hargreaves, the ball stabbed Modric behind him with a clever stab.

Luka Modric took the ball and looked to the left.

Juan Mata started to run sideways, and Brown quickly threw down the wing and followed!

At this moment, behind Mata's side, Evra stepped forward at high speed!

"Coming back?" said Ferdinand.

This scene, Manchester United players must feel very familiar, the previous goal was conceded from Evra from behind, and now Inter Milan still wants to repeat the old trick?!

United's defenders reacted immediately, and there was absolutely no room for Inter Milan to be presumptuous, and both Rio Ferdinand and Carrick were all focused on Evra, who suddenly stepped forward, Carrick pounced on Evra, who was accelerating, and Ferdinand moved over for the time being.

Hargreaves, meanwhile, also focused on the running Diego Milito.

In the penalty area, Vidic was also immediately wary of Adriano, which was to guard against Inter Milan's low cross from the wing.

On the other side, O'Shea also improved his defence against David Silva.

Manchester United's defence is like an instrument, and it has made a standard response at this moment!

However, at this moment, everyone subconsciously ignored Modric who was in possession, and they all subconsciously thought that Modric would not hesitate to pass the football to Evra, who was already in position.

***********

Modric tried to pass the ball, but he quickly pulled the ball back again, he didn't intend to pass it!

He was astute to see a path leading to the exclusion zone......

Right between Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, at the junction of the two centre-backs, one is heavily leaning sideways and the other is following Adriano, who seems intent on stepping over to interact with Silva.

That's right, it's the ribs of Manchester United's tight defense, and there is a gap in an instant!

A gap that leads to the exclusion zone!

Modric slammed the ball forward and suddenly accelerated!

Carrick is chasing Evra, the England international has a serious face, he must get close to the opponent before Evra receives the ball, Ferdinand is paying attention to helping Evra, Hargreaves is focusing on Diego Milito, Vidic is watching Adriano, O'Shea is wary of Silva, the entire Manchester United midfield, at this moment, they are all dumbfounded, none of them expected that Modric would let his teammates run out of the void and not pass, and would choose to lead his own breakthrough!

People have the impression that speed is not Modric's specialty.

This time, however, the Croatian international showed the crowd how fast he is!

Luka Modric showed a very simple and practical dribbling technique!

***********

Luka Modric didn't play any tricks, he just knocked the ball forward, the ball was right in the gap in the United defence, and although the defenders seemed to be close at hand, it was impossible to react in time at that moment.

In an instant, Modric had already rushed over with the ball, and at this moment, Ferdinand, who realized that something was wrong, had just turned around.

"Stop him!!," shouted Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, a little panicked.

Hargreaves hurriedly threw down Diego Milito, who came in from the flank, and seeing that Modric was about to dribble into the box, Hargreaves was distracted and put a tackle.

Hargreaves decisively falls to the ground and slides the tackle.

Objectively speaking, Hargreaves has no problem putting a shovel.

This time, however, Hargreaves misjudged the speed of Modric's dash.

By the time Hargreaves' tackle arrived, Modric suddenly picked up speed again.

Then people saw Modric being put directly to the ground, falling in the penalty area, the football also flew aside, and was quickly hugged by Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar.

***********

"Penalty!" exclaimed the Italian commentator Ferrari excitedly.

"Beautiful defense!" was the voice of British commentator Lineker.

Modric, who fell to the ground, lay there and looked at the referee.

The referee from Slovakia, Michel, seemed to hesitate for a second before the whistle sounded.

He pointed to the penalty spot.

Penalty kick!

Modric got up excitedly, raised his arms and cheered, and then was hugged by the equally excited Inter Milan players.

Hargreaves jumped up from the ground in anger and roared at the referee Michelle: "Fake fall! fake fall! I *** didn't touch anyone!!

He was just as unhappy as other Manchester United players.

Rio Ferdinand ran to the referee and pointed to the football in Van der Sar's arms, "The one who shoveled the football first!

Vidic, on the other hand, pointed to the line of the box and complained about Hargreaves, what he meant was that even if you blew for a foul, it was outside the box.

Referee Michelle simply waved at the United's protest and then pointed to his own eyes, signaling that he had seen clearly and said no more.

Hargreaves clearly couldn't accept the decision, he spent most of the season recovering from injury, he managed to return from injury and be able to play in the Champions League final, and how eager the England international was to help the team lift the Big Ear Cup and fulfill his dream, he naturally knew very well how bad it would be for Manchester United if it was a penalty.

***********

"Which eye do you see......" Hargreaves roared, and Carrick, who was closest to him, quickly covered Hargreaves' mouth, but it was too late.

Michelle, who didn't seem to plan to play a card for Hargreaves' foul, naturally wouldn't tolerate the player's insulting words, and he didn't hesitate to show Hargreaves a yellow card.

Ferguson looked furious off the field, and Old Man Socrates almost went berserk, yelling and spitting at the fourth official.

"Trust the referee's decision, he knows best what happened...... said the fourth official with a serious face in front of the famous Ferguson hair dryer.

"People make mistakes! Apparently he was wrong this time!" Ferguson was furious, and if it weren't for a shred of sanity, the old man would have almost burst into a foul mouth.

Then, the old man caught a glimpse of the guy next to him, looking at the excitement with a smile on his face, and gave a thumbs up to the referee in the field: "Clearly."

The anger in the old man's chest crackled and burned, and it almost exploded.
