Chapter 025: Great Goal!

 “!”

"The goal is in! Silva has put the score in the lead for Manchester City!

"Two to one!

Manchester City fans erupted in loud cheers.

It was a morale-boosting goal.

In the past, Manchester City played 'very passive' and made more mistakes, which made the fans very depressed and worried about the team, and now, this goal has allowed them to release all their emotions.

Manchester City's players were also celebrating their goals, and Yang Fan gave Silva a big hug.

Manchester United's players were a bit depressed.

Ferguson's expression was grim, and the old man was a little angry, his side had just asked Manchester United to press out, and it didn't take long for Manchester City to score. It's just so depressing.

In the following game, Manchester City did not retreat, but took advantage of the momentum of this goal to continue to put pressure on Manchester United.

Having taken the lead and beaten Manchester United in the first place, now is a good time to take advantage of the win.

De Gea wiped the sweat from his forehead with the top of his glove to keep it from getting into his eyes. The Spanish goalkeeper was a little tired and above all extremely nervous. He was the busiest Manchester United player in the game during this period.

Manchester City went crazy and attacked the United goal.

Yang Fan, Dzeko, Silva, Milner, Yaya Toure...... Even full-backs like Zabaleta came up to shoot, and these players of Manchester City seemed to explode all at once with that goal, and they were all excited, and Manchester City became crazy all of a sudden.

"Defend, defend, don't let anyone out! watch them, don't let them in!" Van der Sar shouted, but he also knew that it would be of little effect.

There was a frenzied momentum to City's attack, which was often decisive towards the end of the game when everyone was not in good shape.

City's attack was relentless, with the pressing Manchester United players barely breathless.

Ferguson watched the situation on the pitch with a cold eye.

Now Manchester United are too passive, they have no chance to organize a counter-attack, they are completely suppressed, this situation cannot continue, otherwise they may concede goals at any time.

Carrick is defending Silva.

Silva slowly dribbled the ball and looked to Milner on the right, as if intent on passing the ball to Milner for him to plug in from behind.

Carrick was immediately alert, and he shifted his body to be ready to come up and stop Silva's pass.

Silva teased his opponent with his brilliant footwork – he made a dug-off right-footed kick in the direction of the pass. Carrick didn't shake up, he knew Silva was a feint.

However, Silva surprised Carrick next, Silva was indeed a feint just now, but he 'faked it', and the right foot kicked out did not retract, but slammed the football from behind him to his left side and turned around quickly.

He walked around Carrick's side!

"Beautiful!"

"Silva did a great day!"

The commentator applauded Silva's outstanding performance for his breakthrough.

Carrick rushed to chase after him, but he went from being a defender to a chaser, and the most important position was already behind Silva, which is very dangerous for a midfielder.

Silva was running in the direction where Zabaleta was also in front of him, and he saw Silva gesturing at him. He understood it immediately.

Just as the two passed each other, Silva smashed the ball with his heel to Zabaleta, who was running in the other direction.

Carrick had no choice but to turn around and press Zabaleta. Now he is the closest man to the Manchester City player with the ball, who is he not going up to force him to go up, so Carrick, who did not hesitate, turned back and pounced on Zabaleta again.

After passing the ball, Silva didn't care about the situation behind him at all, but continued to run forward.

James Milner also came up and managed to contain United's left wing-back, who is now unmarked.

It was a clear pass gap.

Manchester United's players were shocked and they rushed to Milner.

Just when everyone thought Zabaleta would pass the ball to Milner, Zabaleta sent the ball straight to Silva.

This immediately caught United off guard.

The combination made the stands at the Etihad Stadium boil over again, and all the Manchester City fans were cheering loudly for their wonderful combination.

Seeing Silva get the ball, Manchester United's players had to tilt the defense line to this side again, and Manchester United's players were immediately attracted to Silva, but they didn't notice that Dzeko and Yang Fan had rushed to Manchester United's penalty area, ready to meet Silva's pass.

Silva did not disappoint the duo as he received a ball from Zabaleta and he did not delay and played it directly from the left to the back of goal.

Manchester United's goalmouth suddenly became lively, and the defenders, forwards, and goalkeepers were all crowded into the small goal area.

The football flew high, a height that made goalkeeper De Gea unable to attack. He could only look up at the football while moving backwards.

The ball suddenly falls after passing the highest point, approaching the back point at a very fast pace.

Dzeko pressed against Park Ji-sung and completed a beautiful header.

David made another miraculous save, as his body moved, he braked suddenly, and then leaped desperately, his right hand high into the air...... He hit football!

He changed the course of the ball in this way, and with the current flight path, the United could expect the ball to glide in front of goal without danger.

"Great save !!"

Yang Fan didn't expect that Dzeko's shot was actually saved by De Gea, when De Gea hit the football over, he was running back and forth, at this time, he was facing away from the goal, and in this position, it would be quite difficult to complete the shot.

If it were an average striker, he would simply give up this opportunity, because it was not a chance in the first place!

However, Yang Fan will not!

He did everything he could to get the shot!

That's what a superstar is all about!

Almost subconsciously, Yang Fan jumped up on the spot, a backflip, his heel finally touched the football, and the football crossed a parabola and flew towards the goal.

A backflip to create a hanging door!

The ball arced past everyone and past goalkeeper David De Gea, and the ball hit the underside of the crossbar, then bounced down and went on to smash into the goal!

It was a brilliant goal.

A way to score goals that no one could have imagined.

The stadium fell silent for almost two seconds, and then burst into flames of volcanic eruption. Even the United fans had to stand up and applaud the goal, not to mention the Manchester City fans who were already in a frenzy.

Manchester City coach Mancini also held his head in his hands and looked at the field with an incredible expression: "God...... Is that a shot that an earthling can make?"

After completing the shot, Yang Fan slipped when he landed, and he lay down in the Manchester United penalty area, he did not look at the situation behind him, but the boiling shouts of the whole stadium had already told him the answer.

He just lay there, looking up at the night sky and clenching his hands into fists and slamming them into the sky.

The teammates next to him were already screaming and rushing at him. Dzeko was the first to rush over and fall to the ground and hugged him, "How did you do it?!" he shouted frantically.

“!”

“!”

"De Gea's save is great, but even greater is this goal! This is the craziest goal I have ever seen, the most creative goal! Yang Fan, he is a terrifying reaction, his breathtaking creativity, his amazing footwork, what a crazy goal! The goal is scored! Manchester City leads Manchester United 3:1 at home!!"

Ferguson sat in the dugout, a little dejected. This goal is so exciting, such a loss of a goal is really a crime of non-war.

The camera captured Lao Shuai's eyes looking at his former disciple Yang Fan, which was so complicated, with relief, loss, anger, and regret......

Three to one!

Manchester City stretched the gap to two goals.

Manchester United had a chance to score, but Manchester United did not take advantage of the chance, and now the game is in the final moments, Manchester City has scored, which is not only a huge blow to Manchester United, but more importantly, there is not much time left for Manchester United at this time, and time will be stretched to score goals.

In addition, Ferguson had a hunch that City would not rest on their laurels after scoring the goal and that they might continue to attack United's goal.

It's not a question of whether United can fight back and score goals, but it's a good chance that City will be able to take advantage of the win and chase for more goals.

The rest of the game was over, as Ferguson lamented. Manchester City continued to launch onslaught, bombarding the United goal, and even forming a siege on the United goal at one point.

However, United were lucky, with the crossbar and the post each denying City two of their inevitable chances.

In the end, neither side continued to score.

Three to one, this was also the final score of this game.

Manchester City struggled to beat Manchester United on their home turf.

After the game, they were celebrating Manchester City's victory, but at the same time, many media said that they could not understand the second half of the game, Manchester City's performance was too abrupt, so they did not know how to explain it to their readers. At the post-match press conference, a reporter also raised the issue, but Mancini casually found an excuse to prevaricate, and the manager didn't say it, and the players naturally wouldn't say it. Since then, he has never mentioned this matter to the public.

It wasn't until Manchester City's Yaya Toure released an autobiography of him after retiring that the situation was revealed to the outside world for the first time. This also attracted the outside world to admire, no one thought that Mancini, who has always shown conservative tactics, actually had a sword to go off the rails, and the most amazing thing for them was that Mancini's trick was able to successfully deceive Ferguson, this is an old fox, it is not easy to let Ferguson be fooled.

After the game, the media raved about Manchester City.

What made the media crazy the most was Yang Fan's goal.

Yang Fan's goal was named Goal of the Week, and even after the end of the season, the backflip was named the best goal of the 2010-2011 Premier League.

According to The Guardian, no one will dispute the selection of this goal, and some media even exaggerated that "this is not a goal that belongs to the earth".

The official website of the English Premier League named this football "Chinese Kung Fu Goal".

This goal is also considered to be one of the representative goals of Yang Fan's career, and it is talked about by Manchester City fans and often mentioned by fans.

"It's beautiful...... Manchester City won 3-1 at home to Manchester United, although the game did not look as easy as the scoreline. But anyway. Ninety minutes later, it was Roberto Mancini and his team, not Sir Alex Ferguson, who were now laughing out!, and now City have extended their lead and the defending champions seem more confident of defending their title......" commenting on the game. It's a pity that Manchester United was a little less lucky. They would have had more than one chance to change the situation on the pitch......"

What's the use of talking about that now?

The game is over.

After applauding the players on the pitch, Mancini turned and walked towards the United dugout.

Meanwhile. Ferguson was also walking towards him, and the two met in the middle.

Ferguson's face looked very unpleasant, and Mancini thought to himself that those poor Manchester United players would suffer again when they went back, and in such a direct confrontation, Manchester United lost, and it will be more difficult for Manchester United to catch up with Manchester City for the rest of the season, and Ferguson must know this.

The two men clasped hands together, and Mancini had a faint smile on his face. He didn't want to let himself be too proud and provoke Ferguson, and Mancini didn't do anything that hurt others and didn't benefit himself. And, let's be honest, Ferguson deserves Mancini's respect.

Ferguson spoke first: "In the second half, is it normal for your team to behave abnormally?"

Mancini smiled: "I don't quite understand, sir. I was so nervous during that time that I was afraid of losing the ball. ”

Ferguson glanced at Mancini, this guy is not honest.

At the same time, Yang Fan was also chatting with Rooney.

"We've distanced ourselves from you, and it's no fun for you to win the championship this season, so give up the league title. Yang Fan said.

"Give up, why give up, the league is long, we're going to fight to the end!" Rooney said, straining his neck.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry if you lose. Yang Fan said, "You have to be magnanimous and convince people with virtue." ”

", I've always been convinced with my fists. Rooney grinned.

"Barbarians. Yang Fan said with a smile.

Rooney ignored the joke and snorted, turned away.

Yang Fan was dragged away by his teammates, and they had to collectively walk to the sidelines, thank the home fans for their support, and win this derby, Manchester City's road to defending the title this season has also crossed a big obstacle.

ps: The new book "The Godfather of the Stadium" has 300,000 words at the starting point, and I hope you will support it. Thank you.
