Chapter 215: Accidentally Losing the Ball
There were no surprises in the results.
Fan Bizhuang stood in front of the football, faced the wall in front of him, measured the distance between himself and the goal, and chose the most suitable way to take the free throw.
The free-kick was on the edge of the penalty area, close to goal. But because of this, there is not too much buffer distance, and it is very likely that the football will be blocked by the wall before it has been rushed after the penalty is issued.
Therefore, Fan Bizhuang chose to shoot vigorously.
The so-called pressing people with force, that's the truth, the distance from the goal is not all bad, as long as the vigorously blasted football can pass through the human wall, then basically it is difficult for the goalkeeper to react quickly.
Of course, Fan Bizhuang couldn't stupidly kick the ball to the human wall, he cleverly chose to hit a sticky ball, and he gambled that the human wall would jump up at the moment of his free throw to block.
When the referee signaled that he could take a free throw, Fan Bizhuang did not hesitate, almost did not run, just kicked the ground with his left foot on the spot, and his right foot suddenly hit the football.
The soccer ball sped forward against the turf.
"Van throws the ball out!"
"It's ...... A shot on the ground! ”
"Van chose a very clever way to shoot...... The human wall is jumping! ”
Fan Bizhuang's calculation was very accurate, when the football rushed forward, the human wall just jumped up, and then jumped through the gap exposed by the human wall at great speed!
Neuer had been waiting for it for a long time, but he had never expected that the football would come out of the human wall, and when he tried to react again, he was a little unable to keep up - his vision was blocked by the human wall, and most importantly, even if his vision was not blocked, it was almost impossible for him to pounce on such a quick and powerful blow to the earth.
Neuer froze and gave up resistance, and the ball flew into the net from the other side of his body!
Old Trafford is once again bursting with red waves.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Fan! Fan!! Fan!!! A brilliant free-kick netted his thirteenth goal in the Champions League of the season! At the same time, he also helped Manchester United to make the aggregate score 3:3! ”
“3:3! However, United did have an away goal, and if that score is maintained until the end, it will be ...... to qualify for the final Red Devils Manchester United! ”
"Before the game, Schalke 04 had a better chance of qualifying, but now ...... It was unbelievable that in less than half time, Manchester United brought back all the disadvantage! They are getting closer and closer to the finals! ”
"Unbeatable Fan! His return from injury has been a huge help to Manchester United! ”
Ferguson raised his arms on the sidelines and cheered loudly, his whole face flushed with excitement. Behind him, the substitutes also hugged each other with joy, screaming and clapping non-stop.
"Good shot!"
"It's beautiful!"
“2:0! The aggregate score is 3:3! We're back in the driver's seat! ”
On the field, the starting Manchester United players were also roaring with excitement.
Fan Bizhuang's face frowned imperceptibly, and then he knelt on the ground, pointing to the sky with both hands, and doing his signature celebration gesture.
His teammates gathered around him, clapping, shouting, or throwing punches.
……
"No problem, Fan?"
After the celebration, everyone walked towards their own half, and Kaka followed Fan Bizhuang's side and suddenly asked aloud.
Fan Bizhuang was stunned for a moment, and then understood what his friend was referring to. It may have been the action of frowning just now, which was captured by Kaka.
In fact, the powerful shot just now touched the injury of the big toe, causing him to feel an irrepressible pain. But in his opinion, there should be no problem, and he doesn't feel it at all at this time.
"No problem."
Fan Bizhuang shook his head.
Kaka wanted to say something more, but when he saw Fan Bizhuang waving his hand indifferently, he had no choice but to say more.
……
After the restart of the game, Manchester United, who had scored two goals in this game, can be described as a tiger with lower morale, while Schalke 04 was even more panicked when it was hit hard, and in the last ten minutes of the first half, Manchester United almost completely suppressed the visitors in the half, and attacked wildly.
But the final score remained unchanged, and with a 2-0 advantage, the game entered the halftime break.
In the home team's dressing room, Ferguson first affirmed the team's performance in the first half and praised several players who played particularly well, and then Ferguson arranged the team's tactical strategy for the second half.
After finishing the set-up, Ferguson turned his hesitant gaze to Fan Bizhuang.
With a two-goal lead, he had already moved the idea of replacing Fan Bizhuang, who was not completely well-injured, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still denied the idea.
The changes that Fan Bizhuang brought to the team on the field are obvious to all, whether it is the motivation of mental morale, or the substantive effect, it can be said that Fan Bizhuang is indispensable, even if he does nothing in the second half, but as long as he stands on the field, it is an encouragement to his own side, and it is also a deterrent to the opponent.
"Let's take a look!"
Ferguson made up his mind and decided to look at the second half of the game before saying that if the team could successfully extend the advantage, then it could replace Fan Bizhuang early.
It's just that what Ferguson didn't expect was that the decision to keep Fan Bizhuang would make him feel extremely wise just over ten minutes later.
……
Fifteen minutes later, the two teams were back on the football pitch.
United didn't make any changes to their starting line-up, and they dominated the initiative in the first half, while the score was 2-0 up, so they didn't need to make major changes.
However, the change of the away team is a little shocking, the most significant change is that there is more Charlie Steas as a Greek high school striker in the striker, so that Schalke 04 has three strikers on the field at the same time: Raul, Farfan, Charlie Steias!
Central midfielder Baumjohn was also replaced, replaced by Chinese striker Hao Junmin.
Such a change made the commentators in the comment seat exclaim.
"Schalke 04 is this going to give it a go in the second half with Manchester United?"
"The aggregate score is the same, but with the disadvantage of conceding goals at home, Schalke 04 has been pushed to the brink!"
"Shakhtar will have to give it a go and try to score at Old Trafford to rekindle their hopes of qualifying for the final!"
Schalke 04's tactical intentions are beyond doubt, and they are not willing to pass by the Champions League final, and they are bound to step up their attack.
It takes a lot of courage to make such a change, after all, this is Manchester United's home stadium, and at the same time, they were also extremely miserable in the first half, and they were beaten to no defense with a defensive strategy, and now they have withdrawn two defenders in favor of attack, which in the eyes of many professionals is not much different from moths to the fire and self-defeating.
"Let's take a look at the second half of the game between the two sides!"
With the referee's whistle, the second half officially began.
As many commentators expected, Schalke 04 was still at a disadvantage in the battle for control of midfield, although Schalke 04 brought on two attackers, while Manchester United's attack was still strong and kept it firmly at bay.
wants to attack, but can't press out, the defense line is even tighter, and Schalke 04's backfield is always in a storm.
This is expected, but the unexpected is something that people never imagined.
In the fifty-first minute, the goal was again born on the field, but it was the ...... who scored Schalke 04!
After resisting Manchester United's offensive again, Schalke 04 switched from defense to attack, and the football was quickly passed to the feet of Hao Junmin, who retreated to the center circle nearby, and the Chinese teenager rushed forward with the ball very resolutely, and after shaking off Manchester United fullback Evra with speed, it was all the way to the bottom line.
This is also an omission in Manchester United's big pressure, the players in the midfield are too high, and in defense, there will inevitably be loopholes, and if a point is broken, it is easy to affect the entire back line.
Hao Junmin is one of the few Chinese players who play in the European League, maybe not many people in Europe know him, but he has been in Schalke 04 for more than a year, and the fans in this area love him very much, although he has never been the main member of the team, but his multi-faceted attributes are a good supplement to the team, the forward can play, the front can play, and when necessary, you can also temporarily play as a fullback, such a "panacea", no coach does not like it. When Magath was still the coach of Schalke 04, Hao Junmin's playing time was very stable.
And Hao Junmin will also have wonderful performances from time to time, just like in the last round, Raul's second goal came from Hao Junmin's assist.
In this game, Hao Junmin just came off the bench not long ago, and he had a wonderful performance again. He shook off Patrice Evra and then went all the way down to the bottom line, where he finished a quality cross near the baseline.
Jiang Junmin is also holding a force in his heart, Fan Bizhuang is his idol, they are all Chinese, Fan Bizhuang can achieve such brilliant achievements in European football, even if he can't reach the height of the other party, but as long as he works hard, there should be no problem to gain a foothold in the top league.
So when playing against the team that his idol plays, he is more and more expressive. He has to show his idol that there is not only one Fan Bizhuang in China, but also Hao Junmin!
"Go ahead!"
Hao Junmin shouted in his heart, and at the same time, his left foot kicked the football, and the black and white elf turned into a beautiful arc and flew straight to the middle of the penalty area.
This is a high-quality high-altitude ball, floating and fast, Ferdinand and Vidic both jumped, but failed to touch the football, at the moment when the football began to fall, Charlie Steias, who was 192 cm tall, jumped high, met the ball, the football changed direction, and broke through the net!
