Section 409 De Gea
Mandzukic's goal was already what happened at the end of the first half, but Wolfsburg's attack, after the second half, did not stop with the break in between. The update is so fast. United's form in the first half gave Wolfsburg a chance of victory, and after scoring a goal, it was only natural that they would want to build on and score more goals to secure the win. Originally, they were fighting at home, and under the high morale of Wolfsburg, their offense was also higher than a "wave", wanting to strike while the iron was hot and create victory.
After the start of the second half, Wolfsburg's attack was full of momentum and never stopped. In order to win the group in the upcoming year, they are also trying extremely hard. It's just that what embarrassed them was that Wolfsburg's offense, after the start of the second half, did not immediately pay off.
Manchester United's defence is still quite good, and they still cause a lot of problems for Wolfsburg. Even in the second half, this kind of defense was just as unbearable for Wolfsburg. Especially after the start of the second half, Gao Shunyao was also a little embarrassed to find that in the attack, it seems that not only the opponent's defensive system has caused a lot of trouble, but the opposing players have also caused a lot of trouble.
Of course, perhaps it should be said that David De Gea was too much trouble as a player, and in the second half of the game, Manchester United's defense was basically done by him.
In the second half, when Wolfsburg's attack became stronger and stronger, United's defense was also a little precarious: Ryan Giggs was already a veteran, and Shinji Kagawa did not have too strong defensive ability. Although Rooney has this ability, he is not very willing to counter-attack, in the first half when the physical strength is good, they are barely defensive, but as the game progresses, Manchester United's front-court counter-robbery, basically a complete collapse. Without this first line of defence, Manchester United's defense is naturally much worse. ←→←79 Novel.com ↘
It is precisely because of this that the attack of Wolfsburg is also a lot fiercer. When United's attack was blocked, Wolfsburg made the pass with ease at the back. With little effort, they can run to where they want, and once they're in place, it's an attack.
For example, Wolfsburg is best at attacking from the wing. And they do a lot. On the wing, Rodriguez rushed forward with the ball, and he drew Rafael's defence close to the wing, and at that moment, he played the ball to Perisic in the middle of the box. Perisic quickly 'plugged in' from the left flank for better attacking speed. He didn't choose to cut inside, just on the side, he directly crossed and kicked the ball to the middle, where Gao Shunyao had already rushed up quickly, and in the face of the opportunity to come, he jumped up suddenly, successfully pressed Smarin, and shook his head in the penalty area to attack the 'goal'. Blasted the ball out!
Gao Shunyao can't remember how many goals he has scored, he only knows that for himself, this is the safest way to attack the goal. His heading skills have always been very 'outstanding', not to mention that this ball is in a good position, and Gao Shunyao is also full of confidence.
However, this opportunity, which was originally extremely 'outstanding', was blocked at this time. De Gea jumped to his feet in front of the 'goal' and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one arm slammed up. So that the soccer ball does not score the goal.
In the box, David De Gea took on almost all defensive functions in the second half. He made all kinds of saves in front of the 'goal' to ensure that Manchester United's big 'goal' was not lost. As a 'goalkeeper', his will is obviously much stronger than that of the front. Wolfsburg attack after attack. was saved by him like this, which made their attack fruitless, and also made the football 'fans' who watched the game extremely depressed.
Although the 'goalkeeper' will also play well, the 'goalkeeper' is the team's last umbrella after all, and should not be a conventional weapon. For the ball 'fan', whether it is your own ball 'fan' or the opponent's ball 'fan'. Neither is a good thing, the former means that your team's defense is a mess, and the latter means that your team is always unable to break through the opponent's last defence, neither of which is so happy.
For Wolfsburg fans, the only thing they can count on is that Wolfsburg will not always be intercepted by De Gea in this game. Being blocked by an open 'door' is really unpleasant.
The 'goal' will be opened, which is indeed a very annoying thing, but being able to see the 'goal' will be opened, which generally means that the opponent's defense line can also be penetrated. And no matter how good the 'goalkeeper' is, in the face of a poorly played defensive line, he can't always be 'colorful', which is also an unbreakable truth.
And the football 'fans' are now waiting for the time when De Gea can't stop it.
Wolfsburg's attack continued, and this time, Rodriguez cut inside on the wing, and after a combination with Gao Shunyao in the ribs of the penalty area, he rushed to the edge of the box. Here, he directly 'shot' the 'goal' from a distance, kicked the ball towards the 'goal', and wanted to rely on his long-range 'shot' to break through the big 'goal'.
However, this time, the 'shot' and 'goal' were saved by De Gea again. This time, he jumped up and caught the ball with both hands, still without incident.
Rodriguez's 'shot' and 'goal' were saved, and this time Wolfsburg's attack also came to an abrupt end. However, when De Gea played the ball out to Evans in front of him, the change happened.
Evans, who got the ball, wanted to play the ball in front of him and pass it to his teammates in front of him. However, at this time, Gao Shunyao did not shrink to his own half, he still stayed in front of the penalty area, trying to make some interference. Such interference was not too much of a threat, but no one expected that Evans' passing would go wrong.
Evans' pass hit Gao Shunyao's 'leg', and the ball did not roll forward again, but bounced and rolled back.
This sudden change surprised both sides of the game. Evans didn't expect the football to pass to Gao Shunyao's feet, obviously a little stunned, and Gao Shunyao obviously didn't expect that he would touch the ball, and the football was kicked out by him directly. Both of them were a little surprised by this sudden change at this time, but after the surprise, both of them reacted immediately.
The ball bounced towards Evans, who reacted first, immediately stepping forward and snatching the ball at his feet. Perhaps because of the mistake in the pass just now, he had a certain psychological 'shadow', and he didn't dare to pass the ball forward anymore, he immediately turned around, trying to protect the ball with his back, and then passed the ball to the 'goalkeeper' De Gea, in order to play the ball more securely.
However, at the same time, Gao Shunyao has also reacted. Naturally, he would not allow Evans to make such a 'colorful' pass, and when Evans hurriedly tried to protect the ball, Gao Shunyao had already rushed forward. Although this opportunity was not in his plan, since the opportunity had appeared, he naturally refused to let it go. The distance between him and Evans was not far away, when Evans tried to control the football, Gao Shunyao had already rushed up, and when Evans turned around, Gao Shunyao also happened to rush to his side, this time, without waiting for Evans to come out of the ball, he stretched out his foot and kicked it directly on the football.
If it is usual, Gao Shunyao wants to break the ball of the defender, of course, it is not so easy. As a striker, although he relies on his strong body and has the ability to 'force' to grab, he is not a professional defender after all, and his tackling skills are naturally not particularly 'outstanding', and it is not particularly easy to forcibly steal the ball at the feet of others. But this time is different, Evans has just received the ball, plus he just made a mistake with the ball, he is also a little frightened, a little panicked when he controls the ball, and he doesn't handle it very well, Gao Shunyao rushed over from the side after a kick, Evans was not able to avoid it, the football was touched by Gao Shunyao's kick, although he didn't grab the ball to his feet, but he still kicked it out directly.
Just inside the penalty area, the football was kicked out, it was neither controlled by Gao Shunyao and Evans, nor did it fall in the direction of the 'goalkeeper', but in the penalty area, rolling on the ground, out of people's control.
Mistakes like this in the box are undoubtedly fatal for a team. Gao Shunyao's rush, although he did not control the ball at his feet, but still made the penalty area appear in the originally impossible opportunity, for a player, it can also be said to be a great contribution, the only pity is that just now in order to catch up with Evans, he has been sprinting with all his strength, and now he kicked the ball crookedly, and he had no way to catch up at the first time.
However, he can't do these things, but his teammates will do it for him.
At this very moment, Perisic had already rushed up. Just now, when Gao Shunyao broke the ball, Perisic had already 'inserted': his team had such an opportunity, and as an offensive player, Perisic also knew how to cooperate with his teammates to attack. Originally, his position was slightly closer to the wing, and he wanted to rely on his running position to pull away Rafael who was returning from the wing, but when the football was reported, he saw the opportunity at a glance, and naturally he no longer thought about Rafael.
He cut straight down the flank to the middle, stomped the ball at his feet and kept the chance firmly under his feet. Then, he rushed to the 'goal' with the ball, which had already formed a single knife from the moment it landed at his feet, and of course he refused to miss this God-given opportunity.
De Gea is indeed a very strong 'goalkeeper', but in the face of a single knife, no matter how strong the 'goalkeeper' is, he does not dare to say that he can win 100%. What's more, the players who 'shoot' and 'goal' have outstanding skills, and they also have excellent psychological quality and know how to take advantage of opportunities, at this time, the 'goalkeeper' can only hope for luck.
But unfortunately, in this game, luck is obviously not on Manchester United's side. After Perisic 'pressed' the ball close to the goal, he didn't make any mistakes. The football was swept out by him, and flew directly towards the far corner of the goal.
De Gea jumped high, but his outstretched arm was not enough to touch the goal. The close 'shot' and 'goal' made Perisic control the angle extremely tricky, and this 'shot' and 'goal' were impossible for De Gea to touch.
With the sound of the wind, the football drilled into the goal, and De Gea fell to the ground, also emaciated for a while. He tried his best, but he still couldn't close the holes in the backline.
In this game, Manchester United has already lost. Under the onslaught of Wolfsburg, the victory and defeat have been divided.
