Chapter 0117: Elevator Horror

After the wall was lined up, the referee stepped back and stood aside to blow the whistle.

As soon as the whistle blew, Rashford started running.

Weidenfeller found that Rashford did run a little longer than average, which seemed to confirm his suspicion that Rashford wanted to volley hard.

And when Rashford was running, he didn't deliberately make an arc or an angle, but rushed straight to the football.

Weidenfeller, who was behind the wall, was even more sure that Rashford was going to take advantage of the wall to jump and hit the football from under the wall.

In an instant, Rashford rushed to the football, and then he picked up his right foot and kicked it towards the ball.

Weidenfeller keenly observed that Rashford's right instep was tense and his toes were pointing to the ground when he was on his feet.

It's a very obvious volley action!

………………

Weidenfeller's body was already tilting slightly to the left, ready to pounce at any moment.

But when Rashford's foot hit the football, it didn't come like a torpedo against the turf, but flew high above the wall.

Dortmund's human walls also jumped quickly, and a noticeable void did form under their feet, but nothing came out of it.

Weidenfeller's full attention was on the bocce ball, and his center of gravity was pressed so low that it was too late to even jump.

The wall of jumpers was not able to stop the football, which was taller than them, even though they had jumped high, flew over their heads, and then plunged headlong, grazing the inside of the near post and into the goal.

Weidenfeller didn't make any saves and just turned his head to send the ball in.

He never expected that Rashford would kick the elevator ball out!

………………

Before Marcus Rashford's free-kick, commentators from the media around the world were a little unimpressed.

'Manchester United were awarded a free-kick to the right in front of the penalty area and Borussia Dortmund were the big opponents, and they were clearing a wall of people at a high altitude and clearly trying to stop the ball from flying over their heads.

"Although Rashford has never taken a free kick before, Dortmund obviously does not dare to take Rashford, who has been so good recently, that Dortmund does not dare to take it lightly."

'Borussia Dortmund's vigilance, I understand, after all, Marcus Rashford has been phenomenal in the past month, scoring a crazy 30 goals in nine games. And these goals have both grabbing points in the penalty area, long-range shots outside the box, and headers, which can be called all-round. ”

'But I think they're too worried because I've never heard of Rashford being good at free-kicks. While Rashford's long-range shot is powerful, a free-kick doesn't equal a long-range shot! ”

……

Everyone was talking about being happy, and then they saw Rashford kick the football into the Dortmund goal, and they were all stunned, eager to hit themselves in the mouth.

However, they naturally can't slap their mouths at this time, and they have to explain the game. As a result, everyone can only praise Rashford as much as possible.

"My God! What do I see?! Elevator Ball! ”

"Yes! It's a very obvious elevator ball! The ball suddenly falls after crossing the human wall of Dortmund, and this is the elevator ball! ”

"Both Dortmund's human wall and goalkeeper Weidenfeller were obviously caught off guard! Look at the look of surprise on their faces after the soccer ball flew into the goal! ”

"Marcus Rashford scored from a free-kick! It was his 31st goal in the 10th game of his career and his ninth in his fourth Europa League game, and he continues to dominate the Europa League scorers' charts! ”

……

And at this moment, the originally noisy Westefa Wheel Stadium fell silent. Obviously, the Dortmund fans were also shocked by Rashford's earth-shattering elevator goal.

………………

Marcus Rashford, who scored the goal, celebrated the equaliser with his team-mates, while the Borussia Dortmund players were stunned.

Weidenfeller spread his hands helplessly, he couldn't complain about anyone, his team-mates had done everything they could, and the wall was jumping high but still couldn't stop Rashford.

This was the result of his own misjudgment, he thought Rashford would play a boccia, but he didn't expect Rashford to come with a lift ball.

There has been no news that Rashford will kick the ball, and there is not even any news that Rashford will take a free-kick - he has never taken a free-kick in his previous nine games!

What he didn't know was that half a month ago, Rashford was really not good at elevator balls, and even other forms of free kicks were not good at it, but he had mastered some penalty shooting skills, which could be kicked out in training and used in the game.

However, Rashford is not an ordinary person, he is a person who drives a super plug-in, as long as he has skill points, he can master skills that he doesn't know overnight.

In fact, in the last game against Everton, Rashford was listed as Manchester United's mid-to-long-range free kick taker, but he only played for less than an hour in that game, and he didn't have the opportunity to use this trick at all, but in this game, Dortmund was caught off guard.

………………

The result of conceding the first goal at home was clearly not accepted by the Dortmund players and fans, and after the restart, the nearly 80,000 home fans cheered on the Manchester United goal.

However, the Manchester United players today were really in good form, and they quickly suppressed Dortmund's momentum and burned the fire to Dortmund's half.

In the 28th minute, after a scramble in the midfield, Manchester United controlled the ball. Chris Smalling smashes the ball wide on the left wing.

Marcus Rashfodra moved to the left and received the ball and dribbled past two of Borussia Dortmund's defenders to the edge of the box.

But his final step was a bit too big, and the Dortmund player took the first kick and broke the ball off the line. Manchester United won a corner.

Blind took a corner kick and he headed straight into the six-yard box, causing chaos in the box. In the crowd, Weidenfeller dived to save the ball.

However, the spot was once again controlled by the United players, and Herrera met the ball saved by Weidenfeller at the top of the penalty area, and it was a fierce volley.

However, his shot was a bit too hard and didn't keep the ball down, and the result was a ball that whizzed over the crossbar and into the stands.
