Chapter 121: First Goal!
Wansheng knew what was coming.
This set of extremely smooth offensive routines, the team has practiced countless times, and now when it comes to the game, no one can be sure that it will achieve results, but Wan Sheng has a hunch that this time it will be successful!
It's a complete fuzzy feeling.
Although it has not happened yet, Wan Sheng is very sure that the team will succeed, as if he can see the results in advance. This seems to be a bit 'mysterious', but I don't know if you have such an experience, when doing something, you suddenly have a strong premonition, which may be regarded as a sixth sense, and soon the premonition will come true.
Some people will think of it as 'good luck', others will notice it, but it is almost impossible to grasp this feeling, and it will only happen occasionally.
Now Wan Sheng feels like this, and he subconsciously feels that the team can score this time.
It's not confidence, it's a hunch.
On the playing field, the football has flown to the right, C-Ronaldo retreated and ran over, about to grab the ball with Van der Vaart, but he ran behind after all, and could only follow Van der Vaart, he was about to speed up two steps to catch up, Van der Vaart had already jumped in place in advance.
Van der Vaart's chest was closed, and the ball was already firmly falling downward.
C-Ronaldo wanted to find an opportunity to grab the ball, but was completely squeezed behind Van der Vaart, and he could only watch Van der Vaart stop the ball steadily.
Immediately after Van der Vaart made a turn and broke backwards, C-Ronaldo immediately dodged over, trying to take a step to block in front, but Van der Vaart stopped his body, suddenly took another step to the left, and then pushed the ball diagonally behind with his right heel.
Lee Morris!
With the direction of the football rolling, everyone saw the plugged in Morris!
In this game, Morris started as the core of attack and defense, and he is also the core of the midfield back three, and the position is quite important. But compared with the weekday game, his position is a little behind, and even many times, there are no Osman and Kennedy in front, so Morris has not contributed much in the previous offense, and is more in the defense.
But this time, Morris suddenly plugged in!
When he saw Morris's insertion, Wan Sheng looked forward to the next team's performance.
Morris is the finishing touch in this often practiced offensive routine, and he plays a key role in the offensive routine, taking on the left, right, front and back passes.
Morris has followed up to get the ball.
This time he didn't make a pass. Instead, he stopped the ball and took another step forward. Although Morris is still more than ten meters away from the penalty line, he is also about to enter a dangerous position, Manchester United will not let him easily dribble the ball around here, and as soon as he got the ball, a Manchester United player pressed up, it was Manchester United captain Roy Keane.
Roy Keane glared at Morris in a frightening way.
But Morris was unfazed, unhurriedly pulling the ball to the left and not giving Roy Keane any direct steals. Morris then glanced forward again, turned his back to Roy Keane, and suddenly hoisted the ball high into the box.
This high pass was very sudden!
Roy Keane didn't expect Morris to cross the ball into the box and it was such a high shot. He didn't have time to make any blocks, and the other United players didn't expect it either, and another important reason was that there were no Derby County players in the box at this time. Only Manchester United centre-back Silvestre was at the end of the formation, with one foot in the box, while the other centre-back Rio Ferdinand was on the edge of the box.
What does this pass mean?
Blunder?
A lot of people think so. At the moment of Morris's pass, seeing where the football landed, the Old Trafford commentator also said, "Morris made a mistake!" He probably wanted to pass it to Van der Vaart again, but it turned out to be a bit big, and it seems that our Keane is still putting a lot of pressure on him."
This is to talk about Morris's mistakes while praising his own captain.
But what the Old Trafford commentator said, Manchester United fans don't care at all, because the next moment they see the danger in the goal!
"Danger!!"
"Bolton-Reiter-!!"
All eyes were on the direction of Manchester United's goal, only to see a tall figure suddenly rush across the penalty line, take two steps and jump directly into the air, it was Derby County centre-forward Burton Reiter.
He was followed by Ferdinand.
Ferdinand, who has a lot of experience defending, didn't pay attention to Morris's pass, but kept an eye on the other Derby County players, and when he saw Bolton Reiter rushing up, he immediately turned to follow.
In terms of physical confrontation, Ferdinand is not afraid of Reiter at all, he does not have much disadvantage in height, but his physical condition is better, but he is the defensive side, he is always a step slower with Reiter, but when he sees Reiter jumping, he has no way to stop it.
He could only jump along.
At the same time, Ferdinand also used his body to constantly squeeze Reiter, so as to affect his balance, and the two were also fighting in the air, although they only collided, but it still affected Rett's balance to some extent, but what Ferdinand didn't notice was that Reiter curled the corners of his mouth.
The football fell from the sky.
Reuter lost his balance and could no longer hit the goal directly, but what Ferdinand didn't know was that Reiter didn't even think about heading directly at the goal.
In the face of this opportunity, in fact, Reiter was also very surprised, if there was no Ferdinand, he could almost be said to face the goalkeeper directly, even if there was Ferdinand, he also had the opportunity to directly head the goal, but there were more tactical exercises on weekdays, Reiter subconsciously thought that he should pass the ball, and after jumping up, although his body was a little unbalanced, he still had time to tilt his head.
The soccer ball hit the back of the forehead and bounced to the side.
Reiter couldn't keep his balance anymore and he fell straight to the ground, only to see the ball bounce to the left side of the penalty area, where a teammate in a white jersey followed
The Manchester United fans in the audience have already exclaimed!
They hadn't taken the offense seriously yet. Seeing Baines' pass, Van der Vaart's pass, and even Morris's pass, they didn't feel any threat, but after seeing the pass from the opposing center, Bolton Reiter, they couldn't hold back their nervousness and exclaimed.
Manchester United fans are starting to worry about the goal!
When a Derby County player receives a pass in the United penalty area when he is unguarded, it is clear to everyone that the United goal is in extreme danger!
At the same time, the various commentators couldn't help but exclaim, "Frank Ribery!!" Frank Ribery!! He got the ball in the box!! ”
The narrator's voice was already excited.
When Ribery got the ball in the box, there was no one around him, and everyone's attention was focused on Bolton Reiter, who subconsciously thought that he would definitely choose to head the goal, but Reiter chose to pass the ball and passed to the left side of the empty defense.
Here, Ribery cut in and got the ball, and everyone knew that Manchester United's goal was in danger!
William Gallas was desperately chasing back, trying to catch up with Ribery, but he started a little late, and by the time he came running, Ribery had stopped the ball and took two steps forward, and Gallas simply didn't have time to defend.
The only one who can stop Ribery now is centre-back Silvestre.
In the face of Silvester's defense, Ribery was not in a hurry, but seemed very calm, he did not touch the ball directly, but leaned forward, which often accelerated the premise of the action, and Sylvester subconsciously intercepted in advance.
But who would have thought that this was just a false shot by Ribery!
Ribery stretched out his right foot, flicked the ball to the side and dodged Silvester directly, fortunately it was a penalty area, there was not so much space for Ribery to start, Silvester was not thrown away directly, and pounced directly sideways.
By this time Ribery had already taken another step forward, and he was already running to the line of the six-yard box, and he was also within easy reach of the goal.
As long as he lifts his foot to shoot, it is possible to score the ball directly.
Sylvester also thought of this, so when Ribery raised his left foot again, Sylvester did not hesitate to fall to the ground to block, and he was lying on the grass, his right foot raised high, obviously trying to block the shot with his body.
But the next moment, Sylvester knew that he had been deceived again!
Ribery didn't shoot at all, the foot lift just now was still a feint, he stretched out his foot to pull the ball to the left, and then stepped on the ground with his left foot, and with the rhythm of his body, he hit the right heel, and it was a cold shot!
When Ribery was seen in the box, Carroll was ready to rush out.
Sylvester was still following Ribery, so he didn't attack so decisively, he was afraid that Ribery would suddenly make a cross and hand the ball to his teammates, and the goal would become empty.
So Carol just watched cautiously.
When he saw Ribery raise his left foot, Carroll subconsciously wanted to save, but fortunately he stopped when he saw Silvester blocking the ball, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saying that fortunately he had not been deceived with Sylvester.
But the next moment, he saw the football flying towards him!
Carol was stunned for a moment.
Just now Sylvester was lying on the grass, blocking some of his views, but Carroll didn't react at all that Ribery would follow up and shoot directly, but when the football flew over, he didn't react at all.
Then, Carroll could only watch in despair as the football flew past him and flew into the goal behind him without hindrance!
The moment the ball flew across the goal line, all United fans fell silent. (To be continued......)
