Chapter 382: Misfortune is not a one-way street
"Di-!"
With a shrill whistle, Rossetti walked quickly to the two entangled men.
"What? I fouled?! ”
Xiang Hao's expression of disbelief looked at the Italian, with a puzzled expression.
Anderson took the ball himself, leaked the ball, stuck his position, and the opportunity to get the ball was blown for a foul by the referee.
Xiang Hao was difficult to understand, but he couldn't help but accept it.
At this time, you have to be calm no matter what. The more backward the scene, the more insightful I have to be.
In this way, you can stop making mistakes and pay better attention to the game.
Xiang Hao struggled to break free from the penalty and retreated to near the penalty line, waiting for the free kick from Manchester United.
At this time, Ronaldo has already stepped towards the penalty spot.
On the left, near the centre, about 35 yards from the goal, this was formerly known to Arsenal fans as the King's area.
At this time, it was Ronaldo's chance to face the Arsenal goal. Everyone knows that the Portuguese have a lift ball.
Last season, Ronaldo relied on that unbeatable free-kick stunt to kill countless opponents.
The long-distance free kick is one of Ronaldo's most dazzling ways to score. This time, Xiang Hao let the other party get such an opportunity.
How Ronaldo plays, naturally, attracts the attention of countless people...
"Phew, a chance for the Manchester United, will Cristiano choose to hit the goal directly?"
"At this angle, it's not easy to pass the ball, the goal is already in sight, and Cristiano can choose to score by himself."
"The position is just right to allow Cristiano to have full power and also have a falling distance."
"This foul, Hao is a little careless, see how Cristiano plays."
…
There is a lot of talk, all waiting for Ronaldo to make a penalty.
"Tick!"
With a crisp whistle, the upright Ronaldo glanced at the goal, took a few steps back, and then ran away, "Bang!" ”
An upward line pulled out through Arsenal's wall and straight into the right corner of the goal.
Lightning-fast and lightning-fast!
Almunia chose the right angle, but unfortunately he couldn't keep up with the speed of the ball, and he couldn't block the angle.
The ball, which was like a gunstone, flew directly over.
"Whew!"
The sound of gasps in the audience, the eyes of hope, longing, worry, and horror converged and shifted, "Bell! ”
The sound of the impact, the Arsenal goal shook, the ball refracted and flew high again towards the stands.
"Oh! ****! ”
"Whew! Oh, God! ”
…
Two very different voices converge and intertwine.
Manchester United fans were disappointed and regretful, and the surprise in their eyes was replaced by chagrin in an instant.
When the ball fell, they thought that the ball was safe and could be pierced into the goal, but who would have thought that it would hit the crossbar directly and bounce out.
Just a little bit less, a little bit less, and your team can score a second goal.
At that time, it will be impossible for Arsenal to chase again, because the team will not be able to give them a chance like in the last game.
But it was just a little bit worse that allowed Arsenal to escape.
Manchester United was unwilling, and they shook their heads with their mouths, a kind of unconvinced.
On the contrary, Arsenal fans are relieved.
To be honest, when Ronaldo's ball came over, Arsenal fans really felt finished.
It seems that his goalkeepers have given up resistance, what can he do.
If it weren't for the crossbars, Arsenal would really be powerless and would have waited to see Manchester United celebrate.
Fortunately, there was a moment that calmed down the uneasy hearts of Arsenal fans, and they were able to watch the game a little calmly.
"Whew, hitting the crossbar, what a surprise."
"Arsenal are really lucky, otherwise, Manchester United would have more hope of winning this game."
"Cristiano did a great job, but the crossbar became Arsenal's last defender."
…
The regrets continued, and the major commentators played Manchester United and Ronaldo felt pity.
Twenty minutes into the game, United were in full control of the situation, but only a one-goal lead, which in their opinion was really 'unfair'.
Looking at Manchester United's advantage, they should have a bigger scoreline.
Unconsciously, now these people's views have been inclined to Manchester United, and the pre-game view has been subverted again.
Especially after Manchester United took a one-goal lead, this subversion was an irreversible change, and it turned against him all of a sudden.
The tone of looking down on Arsenal and questioning Arsene Wenger appeared consciously or unconsciously.
At this moment, Manchester United has gradually gained the upper hand in terms of momentum and popularity.
Returning to the game, the morale of the Manchester United players was also higher...
"Tsk!"
Ronaldo saw that the ball was missed, and let out a frustrated sound in his mouth, and reluctantly retreated to the half.
However, the Portuguese's eyes became more and more sharp, and the flames burned like a burning look at the Arsenal goal.
"Although the ball didn't go in, Cristiano was in really good shape today and couldn't stop it.
In the last game, Cristiano judged the two of them, and the improvement of his mood greatly released him, and I seem to see the Red Devils No. 7 in the first half of last year.
If this continues, Arsenal will have no chance at all, and even their left side will be blown up by Cristiano. ”
Most football commentators have defected, and Lineker, who was originally on the side of Manchester United, unreservedly supported Manchester United and supported Ronaldo.
Arsenal's all-round backwardness on the field, and Ronaldo's all-round play, made him can't help but think like this: Arsenal can't stop it.
"Alas, the goal was lucky, and if Arsenal couldn't play an effective attack in the first half, they would have guaranteed the scoreline.
By half-time, Arsene Wenger had to make adjustments, bringing on Theo Walcott and Nasri and, more importantly, Ho's mentality.
If Hao's mentality can't be adjusted in time, with the current situation, then it will be difficult for Arsenal to compete with Manchester United. ”
Although it was only 20 minutes, Mortensen was largely out of hope for Arsenal's attack in the first half.
The creativity and ability of the four people in the midfield, Eboue and Denilson, are not as good as Walcott and Nasri, and Xiang Hao played abnormally.
Relying on Cesc Fabregas alone, it is obvious that he can't lead it, and naturally he can't pose a threat to Manchester United.
Able to keep a goal and hold on until half-time, Arsene Wenger adjusted his bankrupt tactics so that Arsenal could compete with Manchester United and be more sure to catch up with the score.
Now this stagnant midfielder is really difficult to bring attacking pressure to Manchester United.
However, they fell behind by one goal, and the aggregate score was 3-2, and Arsenal could not help but attack, and the formation had to press up.
The real threat is not in place, and the formation is pressed out.
This made Manchester United fight back and become more and more sharp.
Xiang Hao's absence is serious again and again, and his sense of existence is becoming less and less.
In the 28th minute, Fletcher did not entangle with Xiang Hao, passed the ball directly behind Xiang Hao, and Rooney directly rotated the angle at 25 yards and shot the ball in an arc.
Thankfully, Almunia was attentive and flew to the bottom line with his fingertips, and the ball was close to the right post and deflected.
Then Anderson took a corner kick from the right side, Xiang Hao, who was supposed to be marking Ronaldo, was blocked by Fletcher, and was forced to be hit by the Portuguese's header from 10 yards, and he was shocked into a cold sweat.
In the 31st minute, Ronaldo made an internal deduction, grabbed before Xiang Hao blocked, and hit Toure's leg on the edge of the big penalty area, which was missed.
The Reds won another corner and thankfully, this time they did not pose a threat and the game continued.
In the 35th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo continued to wreak havoc on the left side of Arsenal.
On the counter-attack, O'Shea sent the ball in front of him as soon as possible, at the feet of the Portuguese.
This time, Ronaldo didn't stop and look at the action scenes of the three belts, and went straight to the feet, kicked on the turf, and rushed out like an arrow.
“gogogogog――o!”
Seeing Ronaldo rushing up, Manchester United fans from afar were excited, and they wanted to see Ronaldo's performance straight to the Yellow Dragon.
This feeling is as if Arsenal fans want to see Xiang Hao and torture opponents all the way from the middle.
Cheers erupted, and Ronaldo rushed through Arsenal's hinterland like a bolt of lightning.
did not choose to enter the middle, and the defense that Ronaldo faced, the first defense against the bottom, was Gibbs.
The two of them completely competed in speed, entangled with each other, fighting for the strength of their legs and explosiveness.
Both of them kept accelerating, accelerating again, and they were entangled for thirty meters.
Gibbs not only followed closely, but also made small movements behind him.
finally forced Ronaldo's speed down, and at this moment Xiang Hao had already grabbed it.
At this moment, Ronaldo did not blindly rush like in the last game, but took a look at the situation ahead, but found that no one came to answer.
Ronaldo couldn't suppress Xiang Hao, his body suddenly slammed, his big foot jerked, and the ball hit Xiang Hao's body and bounced out.
The current Ronaldo is indeed much calmer and more difficult to deal with than in the last game.
Xiang Hao still tried to drain his emotions, focus on the game, bring out the sense of stagnation in his heart, and go back...
"Kiran, what's wrong?"
Xiang Hao walked back, ready to put the opponent's sideline ball, but found Gibbs lying on the turf, covering the muscles of his right thigh, he hurriedly came over to check.
"Maybe, maybe it's pulled."
Gibbs said with a pained expression, a little difficult.
At this time, Rossetti also suspended the game and hurriedly signaled for Arsenal's team doctor to come in.
"Damn, isn't it?"
"Oh my God, our only left-back."
"Oops, what's going on!"
…
The Arsenal fans at the scene let out a sound of annoyance when they saw Gibbs fall to the ground.
Klich has yet to return from injury, Gibbs is injured again, and a huge frustration hangs over the hearts of Arsenal fans, unusually aggrieved.
