Shepchenko's speed is fast, this is a consensus.

Therefore, Ballack's direct pass gave a lot of advance and was able to play well with Shepchenko's speed.

Shepchenko, who was running wildly, was indeed not something Vidic could catch up.

After catching up with the ball in three or two steps, Shepchenko knocked the ball forward with the outside instep and then accelerated towards the ball again. The whole process of dribbling the ball was simple and crude, but it was practical, allowing him to get closer to the United goal as quickly as possible.

"It's a single knife! Andrei Shepchenko singled out ......"

After the commentator raised his voice abruptly, he looked at the venue with some expectation.

After the earth-shattering boos, some of the United fans craned their necks and looked into the stadium in despair, some closed their eyes and folded their hands in prayer, and some stood there numbly, as if they didn't believe what was happening in front of them......

Although they have different expressions, they all have a common desire in their hearts, and that is that Shepchenko does not score.

This wish seems very ridiculous.

Why?

Who is Shepchenko?

The famous Ukrainian nuclear warhead played 227 league games for AC Milan in seven seasons and scored 127 goals.

With a striker with such a high scoring efficiency, you can count on him to go through the scoring process.

Unless there is a stone Buddha standing in front of the goal, blocking the goal and not leaving the slightest space for Shepchenko to shoot.

Van der Sar may be tall and agile and one of the top goalkeepers in the world, but he is not a stone Buddha and he cannot seal such a large area of the goal. However, to be one of the best goalkeepers on the planet, Van der Sar's excellence naturally does not need to be repeated.

To be a good goalkeeper, in addition to having great skills, you must also have a strong heart. Van der Sar, who rose to fame at a young age, moved from club to club, but the trajectory of his career did not become as brilliant as everyone expected. On the contrary, frequent low-level mistakes made him less and less valuable. However, he did not sink because of this, on the contrary, after joining Manchester United, his performance has gone from strength to strength. Such a career trajectory undoubtedly does not show that Van der Sar is strong inside.

The moment Ballack's direct pass was made, Van der Sar chose to abandon the goal.

In the face of a world-class striker like Shepchenko, defending the goal is tantamount to waiting to die. Because he can't block the entire goal alone, Shepchenko has a huge gap that allows him to have 10,000 ways to die. Standing on the goal line and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to fight.

As a world-class striker, Shepchenko is not only superb in shooting, but also has a natural ability to observe in front of goal.

Van der Sar's attack did not escape his eyes.

So the first time he knocked the ball, he controlled his strength, so that he could ensure that the football was not picked up by Van der Sar before he caught up with the football.

But he underestimated the speed of Van der Sar's strikes.

When he caught up with the football in the penalty area, Van der Sar was already out of the goal area, and Van der Sar, with his arms outstretched, was like an old hen, directly in front of Shepchenko, guarding the chicken coop behind him.

Facing Van der Sar, Shepchenko instinctively flicked the ball sideways.

Because Shepchenko came with the ball diagonally from the right, the angle of the shot was not as wide as that of a surprise attack from the middle. In addition, Van der Sar, who is now attacking, blocked the near corner, opened his arms to expand the defense, and blocked his view of the far corner.

Although Shepchenko has a well-balanced technique on the left and right feet, first of all he is a right-footed player. So he flicked the ball to the right and narrowed the angle of his shot again.

As he flicked the ball laterally, Van der Sar pressed him again, and the closer he got, the bigger the defence.

Looking at Van der Sar closing in on him, Shepchenko knew that if he didn't shoot, he would risk losing his chance. So he knocked the ball towards the goal area with his right foot, and then accelerated to chase after it, and directly picked up his right foot.

Van der Sar, with open arms, has also been watching Shepchenko.

When Shepchenko picked up his right foot, Van der Sar kicked both feet, and the whole person threw himself forward, and his hands stretched straight forward.

Boom!

After a dull sound, Van der Sar felt his arms tingle.

He knew he had succeeded!

Rumble!

The stadium at Old Trafford was immediately filled with cheers from the fans.

The beauty of that feeling for the rest of your life after the catastrophe is only known to those who have experienced it.

"Van der Sar! Edwin van der Sar was like a Spider-Man, blocking Shepchenko's shot and he saved Manchester United's ......"

The ball on Edwin van der Sar bounced straight off the line and gifted Chelsea a corner on the right. Frank Lampard's corner, although it found a team-mate in the box, was too high and went straight over the crossbar to not threaten the door of Van der Sar's handle.

As soon as the ball flew off the baseline, the ball boy on the baseline threw a ball to Van der Sar. After setting up the ball in the penalty area, Van der Sar played a long ball directly into the front court.

Van der Sar's precise long ball set off a counterattack from Manchester United.

Saha carried Geremi behind him, headed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo on the wing, and then immediately turned and stepped forward.

Facing Ashley Cole, Ronaldo shook a little after stopping the ball, and after seeing Ashley Cole not shaking, he stepped on a bicycle there. The center of gravity of the body kept swaying from side to side, and Ashley Cole didn't know from which direction Ronaldo should break through for a while, so he could only jam Ronaldo's route and slowly retreat.

Seeing that Ronaldo and Ashley Cole were entangled and delaying the team's counterattack, Yu Liang shouted anxiously: "Chris ......"

Yu Liang, who quickly stepped forward in the middle, signaled Ronaldo to pass the ball over.

Ronaldo, who couldn't get rid of Ashley Cole, who couldn't get rid of Ashley Cole, listened to Yu Liang's shout, and after making a circle on the football with his right foot, he pulled the ball with his left foot, and then sent the ball to the middle with the outside instep.

Ashley Cole thought Ronaldo was going to pass the ball, so he immediately let his guard down.

But just as Ashley Cole let his guard down, Ronaldo slammed the ball with his left foot, then shook his ankle and passed it directly from under Ashley Cole's crotch. In the face of this sudden change, although Ashley Cole had the heart to defend, he was one step slower than Ronaldo when he had no choice but to start, and he lost his balance by Ronaldo from the side, and was directly rushed by Ronaldo.

Seeing Ronaldo form a breakthrough on the side, Yu Liang immediately accelerated forward, wanting to complete the outflanking in the middle.

However, Ronaldo on the wing does not seem to have any intention of crossing.

When approaching the top corner of the penalty area, Ronaldo directly changed to cut inside and entered the penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo burst into the penalty area with the ball, which immediately attracted the Chelsea players' defence, and Geremi left Saha in the middle and rushed towards Ronaldo to stop Ronaldo.

At that moment, Ronaldo toed his right foot and crossed the ball into the middle.

Halfway through the run, Gremi watched Ronaldo pass the ball and jumped up directly, wanting to push the ball out of the penalty area. Although he jumped in time to push the ball out, Ronaldo picked the ball a little high, and Geremi couldn't top it.

At this time, Yu Liang, who was interspersed in place, directly swung his leg sideways to meet the football volley...... (To be continued.) )
