Chapter 344: Strike (3)
In the middle of the lightning, Scholes, who had been lying in ambush behind Ai Huan, immediately accelerated forward, and kicked the football in front of the gate before Ai Huan could react. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Momentaria Berbatov, who was good at seizing opportunities in front of goal, was already in position, and he volleyed in the middle of Hovides and Metzelde, and the football flew immediately towards the goal, but fortunately Neuer was fully focused at this time, and he firmly pounced on the ball under his body to keep Schalke from making matters worse.
When Neuer stood up, he immediately shouted at Ai Huan, "Concentrate, what are you doing?"
Ai Huan had no choice but to raise his hand to express his apologies, but at this time his heart was already in turmoil, and at this time he had been completely occupied by a deep sense of powerlessness, could it be said that he was really finished today?
On the bench, Magath's brows were also tightly wrinkled, and he also felt Ai Huan's problem, which was his biggest trump card to the point of being so bad that he didn't expect it, but he couldn't think of what to do at this time.
Fortunately, Papadopoulos won the ball and then made a quick attack, which was tackled by Anderson in front of the penalty area, and the referee gave Anderson a yellow card and awarded a free kick. For the free kick in this position, Manchester United's generals are very unhappy, the last game Ai Huan scored two in a row with free kicks, and his shooting free kicks proved to be really difficult to defend, so a group of people immediately surrounded the referee and shouted fiercely, Scholes shouted the loudest in it.
However, the referee quickly stopped them from doing this, and said that they should line up the wall as soon as possible or else they would signal Schalke to take a quick free kick, Manchester United's players left slowly, and Skels kept nagging, and did not stop when the wall was arranged, and the referee signaled him twice to step back, he just didn't listen and kept talking, this time finally annoyed the referee, and showed Scholes a yellow card directly, which made the Manchester United players pause for a while.
Ai Huan is still standing alone in front of the ball, he has been trying his best to adjust his body and accumulate strength, and he hopes to use this opportunity to change the tide of the game.
It seemed that after a century, the referee's whistle finally sounded, and Ai Huan shot the goal almost at the same time, and the football immediately flew high into the sky, and flew like lightning across the already high wall of people and flew towards the goal. At this moment, Old Trafford fell silent again, I don't know how many people held their breath and didn't even dare to breathe, and some people even closed their eyes, they didn't want to see the ball fly into the net.
However, at this time, Ai Huan was very uncomfortable, because he already knew that it was impossible to go in the moment the football went out just now, because even if he accumulated enough strength, there was no way to better control this power, so he also looked at the ball intently, and he didn't know what would happen next.
The football was getting higher and higher under everyone's gaze, but after the highest point there was a sharp drop, and Van der Sar had stepped forward, ready to make up his mind that he would never let this guy score his goal for the third time. However, instead of falling as he had imagined, the ball slammed into the poster and bounced out of bounds.
Immediately, Old Trafford was drowned out by cheers, and countless fans jumped up and down as if they were celebrating their goal, and the song "There is only one Van der Sar in the world" resounded in the sky.
The players also ran to Van der Sar excitedly, patting him on the shoulder affectionately, as if he had really saved the ball just now. In the face of the other party's celebration, Ai Huan stood there with a lonely face, he looked a little demented, many reporters quickly recorded this picture, and they also used this as a picture of the first half, because everything is the same as this picture, Schalke did not have a strong counterattack when facing Manchester United, they were like a group of dementias who could only watch each other ruthlessly ravage themselves over and over again.
After the end of the first half, there was a dead silence in Schalke's lounge, no one dared to speak, the lounge was as depressing as a graveyard, and Ai Huan also covered his face with a towel and said nothing, contrasting with Magat who was helpless standing in front.
Magath thought that it would be a very difficult game, but he never imagined that the scene would be so embarrassing, Schalke's dependence on Ai Huan is terminally ill, without Ai Huan's crazy performance, their dark horse nature has been beaten back to its original shape, their level is just a second-rate team in Europe, far from catching up with the first-class Manchester United.
However, he made adjustments, and he was not willing to admit defeat, even if he knew by this time that there was no way back from this match. Draxler replaced Papadopoulos, although the Greek teenager is fast and has a good attack, but his attack still can't pose a threat to Manchester United, leaving him on the field is already a chicken rib, it is better to let Draxler play and fight, this young man is finally a good player in attack and defense.
Then he replaced Jurado with Pukki, the Spaniard had disappeared throughout the first half, and there was no point in keeping him on the field, and changing another striker was also to fight to the death, who knows if this little guy can do some miracles?
Manchester United, on the other hand, did not have any substitutions, and Ferguson was very satisfied with the performance of his players in the first half, and he still hoped that the next games would allow them to work harder and try to stretch the score a little bit.
However, Schalke made some substitutions and there were a couple of dangerous attacks after the start of the second half. In the 51st minute, Raul returned a pass from the right side of the penalty area, and Farfan's shot was blocked by Manchester United captain O'Shea. Raul's tactical corner kick was crossed by Draxler, Metzelde's nod in front of the goal was blocked by Berbatov, and Ai Huan, who followed behind, was surprised not to grab this, but Pukki behind him followed up with a strong shot, but the ball touched Metzeld's shoulder and flew out of bounds.
The United fans erupted in joyful shouts again, booing what they saw as a burden that not only did not help Schalke.
