Yang Fan was brought down by Park Ji-sung in the frontcourt, Manchester City was quick to take a free kick, and it was De Jong who received the ball, but his dribble was a little bigger, and it was disconnected by the clever Rooney.

Cut off the ball and Rooney gets stuck in position. Protecting the ball, he didn't kick the ball out right away, but leaned on De Jong, who was harassing him behind his back.

De Jong's pressing was very strong, and Rooney could only barely protect the football, and it was not easy to continue at this time.

Seeing that Rooney seemed to be in a difficult situation and was entangled by De Jong, Zabaleta decided to step forward and cut the ball off!

Unexpectedly, just running up, Rooney passed the ball out.

It was Park Ji-sung who received the ball, and instead of possessing the ball, he immediately transferred the ball out.

Nani catches the ball.

Zabaleta immediately pounced on Nani, but saw Nani flick the football to the sideline, seeing that the football was about to go out of bounds, he stepped forward with his foot and gently sent it forward, and the football rolled from Zabaleta's feet to the back of the Argentine defender along the sideline!

Nani, meanwhile, managed to turn around and fly past Zabaleta.

With the Argentine defenders rushing up to assist and now Manchester United on the counter-attack, City's defence has not had time to organise, and for a while, there are no defenders on the right flank.

Rooney saw Nani protruding from the encirclement and immediately ran down the middle. Pulling De Jong to run after him made City's defence even more scattered.

Rooney, meanwhile, raised his hand as he ran, motioning for Nani to pass the ball to him.

Nani didn't pass the ball to Rooney, but rushed forward with the ball himself!

"Get rid of it beautifully!"

Ferguson, who was watching from the sidelines, stood up and applauded Nani's counter-attack with the ball.

Berbatov was also raising his hand to ask for the ball in the front court, but Nani still didn't mean to pass the ball, he made a quick stop and turned his back to Richards, just when Richards thought Nani would pass the ball to Berbatov who came up to meet him or Rooney not far away, Nani suddenly knocked the football between Richards' legs with his heel!

Richards didn't see it. But he saw Dinani flash in front of him, and then disappear!

"Heel knock the ball and break again!

Richards hurried back, but his degree couldn't keep up with Nani.

Vincent Kompany can no longer stay in the middle and now there is not a single Manchester City player in front of Nani who can cross or cut inside. You have to go up and stop him.

Kompany rushed out like a tiger coming down a mountain, straight to a tackle that fell to the ground. He was aiming for Nani's feet, but Kompany felt bad when he was halfway through.

Nani seemed to be waiting for Kompany's tackle, and when Kompany made a tackle, Nani immediately picked the ball lightly, and the ball just jumped up, and Kompany's tackle arrived, as if cutting down Nani directly to the ground.

Nani suddenly lost her balance. Throw yourself headlong into it. It rolled several times before it stopped, rolling in the penalty area.

There was a huge boo on the pitch at Old Trafford.

"Penalty!"

"Penalty!"

It's Manchester United fans shouting loudly.

Kompany explained loudly to the referee that the foul was committed outside the box, and that it was some distance from the box that Nani had deliberately rolled into the box.

"Fuck. "Yang Fan is not thinking about whether he will be given a penalty now, he knows that this is not a penalty, because the referee is very close to the place of the incident, and he should be able to see it clearly. Not going to make a low-level mistake, he suddenly remembered that Kompany had a yellow card on him. Now we can only pray that the referee will not give Kompany a yellow card, just a verbal warning.

At this time, Kompany also realized the fact that he already had a yellow card on him, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and now he can only pray that the referee has no intention of playing the card.

Then, the Manchester City players saw the last thing they wanted to see.

The referee showed Kompany a yellow card.

The referee showed Kompany a yellow card. It was his second yellow card of the day!"

In the exclamation of the commentator, the referee followed up and took out another card from his pocket, the color of which was red.

Kompany accumulated two yellow cards and he was sent off. ”

"It's a huge blow for City. ”

"Oooh, Nani has done a meritorious service. ”

Nani got up from the ground and waved his arm excitedly when he saw the referee showing Kompany a red card. Although he was not satisfied with Nani's more independent behavior just now, at this moment, the fans still gave Nani the warmest applause, his breakthrough was really wonderful, and the most important thing was that Nani directly caused Kompany to be sent off with a red card.

Nani heard the applause and looked up at the dugout. I want to see the manager say about his performance. As a result, he saw Ferguson give a thumbs up.

Well done, boy, well done!

Nani has a bigger smile on his face and a sense of pride, and he has done a good job of completing the tactical tasks given to him by the manager, which will undoubtedly increase his status in the heart of manager Alex Ferguson.

Lineker, who was still criticizing Nani before, also threw all the praise to him at this time: "Nani, well done, this long-distance run is too exciting! Kompany was sent off, which is a huge blow to Manchester City, as the core of Manchester City's defense, Kompany is the most important barrier for Manchester City's defense, and now this barrier is gone, Manchester City is in big trouble." ”

Kompany was reluctant to walk to the sidelines, and he was well aware of the bad impact his own sent off had on Manchester City. However, the matter has come to this point, and I can only accept it helplessly.

Mancini's face was blue on the sidelines, he knew that he had been fooled, just now Nani insisted on breaking through with the ball alone, this is definitely not the player's own meaning, it should have been instructed by Ferguson's tactics.

"This cunning old fox. Mancini scolded.

Nani's breakthrough resulted in Kompany's red card and a free-kick for United.

This time it was only twenty meters from the goal, which was very close. A free-kick is not always as close to goal as possible, and for most free-kick takers, 25 to 30 metres is probably the best range. If the distance is too close, the ball may not be able to go around the human wall, and if you want to let the ball go around the human wall, it may fly directly out of the baseline.

Rooney walked up again with the football in his arms, and he had to take the penalty himself. Nani also walked up, but not to take the penalty. It's about covering up for Rooney.

In fact, this cover, in the eyes of many, is completely unnecessary, because everyone knows that Rooney will come to take the set-piece.

Of course. Unless Rooney voluntarily gave up the penalty and took Manchester City by surprise. Change your teammates to take the penalty. It's just that this possibility is relatively rare.

Rooney came again to take the ball. He hadn't scored from either of his previous free-kicks. In today's first half of the game, objectively speaking, Rooney's performance is not as active as his former teammate Yang Fan, and Rooney's performance will directly determine the outcome of Manchester United's game today.

When Rooney bent over to set up the football. The 25-year-old England international was once again in the spotlight.

There was also applause from the United fans, who were cheering Rooney on. After Cristiano, Ronaldo and Yang Fan both left. Wayne Rooney has become Manchester United's star of the game.

Wayne Rooney stood in front of the football, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle. However, he looked at the wall, frowned, and complained to the referee that City's wall was not far enough back.

The referee looked at it, and he also felt that the human wall was standing too far forward.

The referee stepped forward. Shouting, he made City's walls go back. Let them retreat to his designated position.

Manchester City's human wall staggered backwards. Colo Toure was the slowest in the crowd. He's very experienced, he waits for the referee to turn around. Just take half a step forward. There are a lot of small broken steps that stand forward.

Manchester United's players reported their displeasure to the referee.

The referee had no choice but to turn around and signal Kolo Toure to step back, otherwise he would be given a yellow card.

Kolo Toure staggered back into the wall again.

This is actually a kind of psychological warfare, using this repeated behavior to bring a certain amount of psychological pressure to the player who takes the free kick, causing him to swing abnormally.

But. It didn't seem to be of much use to Rooney, with the England international showing composure.

After a whistle blew, Nani started to run, he didn't kick the ball, he just stepped straight over the ball. Everyone knows that he is a cover, and Manchester City's human wall has not moved at all.

Rooney started to run, then slowed down. Leaning to the left and parallel to the ground, arms outstretched, left foot on the ground, right foot like a whip about to hit the middle and lower part of the football.

The soccer ball soared into the air, bringing up a cloud of grass clippings.

At the same time, City's human wall jumped upwards at the same time.

Although the wall of Manchester City jumped, but no one could touch the ball, Rooney's football, a beautiful arc, the ball around the wall.

The angle of the free-kick was quite tricky, almost straight into the top right corner of the goal.

Joe Hart jumped sideways, he felt like he was touching the football, but only his fingertips touched the football, the ball only changed direction slightly, the trend of continuing to move did not change, and he continued to spin forward, spinning into the net......

Boom!

Old Trafford is out!

Manchester United fans can't wait for this goal!

The goal finally came.

And it was Wayne Rooney who scored, which made Manchester United fans excited.

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaa1！”

"The goal is in!!Rooney!he scores!he scores!he scores! When Manchester United needed someone to step up the most, he stepped up! A beautiful direct free-kick to score, which is not easy for Wayne Rooney, he is not a player who relies on direct free-kicks to score!"

"1-2! Manchester United pulled a goal back! Vincent Kompany had been sent off before, and under Wayne Rooney, they started to blow the horn of the counter-attack!

Manchester United's commentators roared wildly, and Manchester United's players pounced on Rooney with excitement.

As the commentator said, this goal was too timely for Manchester United! The Manchester United players must have agreed with the commentator's words, and they must have thought that this was the beginning of their counter-attack!
