Chapter 285: S
"Haha...... You'll have to be careful in the future, maybe he'll come back to you sometime! ”
That night, Delia couldn't help but laugh when she heard Shen Peng talk about Pogba.
After Pogba went to the training ground, he immediately found Shen Peng and gave Shen Peng a strong hug, if it weren't for Shen Peng's good physique, it is estimated that he would have been strangled to death.
"I'm not afraid that the fans will know kung fu, but I'm afraid that the fans are teammates." Shen Peng muttered with emotion.
"Come on, you can't ask for this kind of treatment that others can't ask for! In that case, won't you be able to get his passes more often in the future? ”
Shen Peng really didn't think of this question, "Uh...... He should pass it on when it comes to timing, and if others have a good chance, he should pass it on to others. ”
"Well, if he messes around, Mourinho will probably put him on the bench."
"Don't talk about this, it's not too early, let's rest early."
"Well, good night!"
"Good night."
With that, the two of them walked to their rooms.
……
On 19 August, at 7pm, Manchester United hosted Southampton.
Southampton are not underdogs, having finished eighth, seventh and sixth in the league in the next three seasons, apart from finishing 14th in the first season after being promoted to the Premier League in 12-13.
However, even so, when facing Manchester United with Shen Peng away, they still chose to shrink the defense, after all, a player like Shen Peng, as long as he breaks through once, can bring great trouble to the backline, and they will score goals if they are not careful, they dare not risk attacking Manchester United, the only thing is that they left two fast forwards, ready to counterattack at any time.
In this game, Manchester United's midfielder is still Rooney, and Pogba has not played for the time being because he has only been here for two days and still needs to run in with the team.
This was Shen Peng's first home league match since coming to Manchester United, and the fans were packed, and the cheers and cheers were no worse than when he was in Dortmund before.
However, the game went as expected before the game, with few chances on either side in the first half, and United did take a couple of corners, but none of them worked well.
Things began to improve at the start of the second half, with a number of attacks organised by United threatening Southampton's goal, but no goal was ever scored.
In the 66th minute of the game, the score on the field was still 0-0, and if a team like Southampton was dedicated to defense, the average team would really have no way.
Suddenly, Ibrahimovic dribbled the ball in front of a defender and threw the Southampton defence into chaos!
At this time, Shen Peng and Mata, one left and one right, quickly inserted, and Ibrahimovic could choose to shoot by himself or pass to two teammates.
Seeing this, the player who was shaken by reached out and pulled it in a hurry, and although Ibrahimovic was pulled to a stop, the referee's whistle also sounded.
After the referee considered it, he did not show a card, which made the home fans very unhappy and booed him. Still, he awarded United a free-kick.
Seeing the referee's decision, Mourinho didn't react much, and in the past, he must have gone to put pressure on the fourth official at this time.
He didn't do this because before the game, Shen Peng had practiced free kicks, which was the way they prepared to deal with it in order to break down the dense defense.
After setting the ball, Shen Peng stood at the penalty spot.
For Shen Peng's free kick, Southampton was also prepared.
Shen Peng's free kick has two more powerful kicks, one is a falling leaf ball, and the other is a curved ball.
His defoliant balls are easier to catch, and there is no horizontal change; In addition to the relatively large arc of his curling ball, there are other places that need to be paid attention to, such as the speed is not very fast - if the speed is too fast, the arc will not be large, this is common sense.
Therefore, as long as goalkeeper Foster concentrates and moves as soon as Shen Peng kicks out, and then judges whether it is a fallen leaf ball or a curved ball, and responds accordingly.
After the referee signaled, Shen Peng started to run.
When he ran in front of the ball, he suddenly got to his feet, and the ball flew straight over the wall and towards the goal.
Foster immediately pounced on the ball, and based on the height of the ball and the rapid rotation of the ball, he concluded that it was a curling ball.
So he controlled the speed of his save a little bit to make sure he could block the ball when it came over.
As he expected, the ball spun around.
When he was about to save the ball, there was a look of horror in his eyes, because he found that the ball had changed direction again in the process of flying!
The ball, which had already turned towards him, had another small change of direction in the process, this time in a direction away from him!
As a result, he had nowhere to borrow power in the air, and he couldn't reach the ball at all, so he could only watch the ball fly from his fingertips into the goal!
This is exactly the S-shaped shot that Shen Peng has been practicing and has never used!
He only mastered this trick at the end of last season, so he never had a chance to use it, and the last time he trained in the team, he inadvertently used this trick to everyone's attention.
Being able to master this trick is also thanks to Delia's careful teaching, the principle of S-shaped shooting is very complicated, and Shen Peng still has a lot of things that he hasn't figured out, but he can apply it freely how to adjust the angle according to the situation.
The S-shape of this ball is relatively small, which is also determined by the characteristics of the S-shaped shot, and its second change of direction cannot have a relatively large arc, so in addition to the audience facing the goal and the camera in that direction clearly see the two changes of direction of the ball, the audience on both sides just feels that it is an ordinary curve ball.
Of course, this does not affect their cheering.
Shen Peng also celebrated with his teammates.
Southampton's head coach Pierre frowned slightly, from his point of view, Shen Peng was just an ordinary curve ball, how could he still score? According to the pre-match practice, Foster should be able to make a save.
However, he didn't think too much about it, it is normal for players to have ups and downs on the field, but Foster dropped the chain at a critical time, which still made him a little unhappy.
It seems that when I go back, I have to let this kid practice more, otherwise I will go to the bench to see the scenery in the next game.
Pierre thought so, and then hurriedly continued to direct the game on the field.
After the goal, the morale of the whole Manchester United team was high, and the attack was more fierce.
In the 78th minute, Ibrahimovic received a pass from Juan Mata and scored with a push to help the team take a 2-0 lead.
After this goal, Mourinho also completely relaxed, and at the same time replaced Rooney with Smalling, so that the latter could conserve his strength for the rest of the game.
