Chapter 67: Every Step Is a Miracle! (2.21 Guarantee 2)

Chapter 67 Every step is a miracle!

Shaq's fears did not materialize, and even the most foolish teammates would not have snatched the match ball for Shaq's 100-goal goal today, but it was Manchester United's players, including manager Simon? Grayson, in the dressing room, signed his name on Shaq's ball one by one, and the line "Manchester United 5:1 Real Madrid, Shaq 99 goals, 100 goals, 101 goals in a single season" is really exciting to look at.

When Shaq scored a hat-trick against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and scored 100 goals for Manchester United in a single season, not only in English and European football, but also around the world.

This time Schak not only completed his own single-season goal breakthrough 100, he also set a new personal single-season goal record in the Champions League, last season he scored 18 goals for the "Young Guards" in the Champions League, and finally almost single-handedly pushed Leeds United to the throne of Europe, but this time with the completion of a hat-trick against Real Madrid, Shaq's Champions League goals this season reached 21, and this record has been improved by a large margin.

One goal after another, one record after another......

Football lovers all over the world are talking about how many goals a player can score in a season, but even Shaq can't give an answer because he is still moving on, and there are still many games left for Manchester United this season, and Shaq has many chances to score.

There are even many Shaq's supporters who are spitting badly, thinking that UEFA and FIFA are too dark, with Shaq's god-level performance, why can't even the top three get in!?

What is the selection of the European Golden Ball, the World Footballer, and the FIFA Golden Ball Award, and even Shaq is not selected, so what is the convincing power. It's bullshit!

But UEFA and FIFA are actually smiling bitterly at this time, when they are selecting, the players they select are basically playing in various giant teams, and many powerful players have never won individual awards at this level, not that their ability is not enough, the main reason is that the players have not played in the giant teams. There is still a big gap in terms of fame and influence.

When Shaq was at Leeds United, he began to "go crazy" after New Year's Day in 2014, and after he transferred from Leeds United to Manchester United, it was like a volcanic eruption, and his performance in the England national team was also quite outstanding, and he was really better than Rooney, who was named World Footballer of the Year for the first time and won the World Golden Ball Award, and was also better than Messi selected by UEFA, but it is a pity...... Shaq had a bad time to break out and missed the chance to win the jackpot.

However, Shaq still won the European Golden Boot. It can be regarded as an affirmation of his personal performance, and the weight of this Golden Boot award is much heavier than the Championship Player of the Month, Championship Top Scorer, English Footballer, Premier League Top Scorer of the Year, European Champions Cup Golden Boot Award, and Champions League Best Player, that is, the World Cup Best Young Player award he won can be compared to this.

It's just that whether it is the European Golden Boot Award or the Best Young Player in the World Cup, it cannot be compared with the European Golden Ball Award, World Footballer of the Year, FIFA Golden Ball Award and other player individual awards.

Fortunately, Shaq is in a peaceful state of mind, he knows that his career is just getting started, and as long as he continues to perform like this, those personal awards will only take a little time for him.

While the Manchester United players are enjoying a rare day off after the big game against Real Madrid. Fans of rivals "Blue Moon" Manchester City finally found a reason to be happy when their side drew 1-1 away at Atletico Madrid thanks to James Milner's goal. With the advantage of away goals, the last Spanish team in this season's Champions League was also eliminated.

In addition, the "Gunners" defeated AC Milan 3:1 at the San Siro Stadium with goals from Theo Walcott, Dede and Chamak, and finally eliminated AC Milan with an aggregate score of 4:1, and successfully met with Manchester City in the semi-finals against the English team.

Manchester United's opponent also appeared, but this opponent was a bit of a surprise...... Inter!

Inter Milan, who originally met the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals, was not very favored by the public. After all, in the past few years since Mourinho left Inter Milan, the strength of the "snake elf" has been declining, the club has changed hands, the players are aging, there is no big money in the transfer market, etc., all signs show that Inter Milan is going to a trough step by step.

And now there are no real big stars in the team, except for a veteran Sneijder who was redeemed from Galatasaray at a low price. Players like Ranozia, Papastathopoulos and others are a fire short, no matter what they say.

But such an Inter Milan, but under the leadership of Ranieri, who once again served as the assistant coach of Inter Milan, drew 0:0 with the powerful Bayern Munich away from home, and the successor of Guardiola, the former Serbian star Mihajlovic, was very disgraced, and when he led the team to be defeated by Inter Milan 2:3 at the Meaza Stadium, he also vowed that Bayern Munich would once again advance to the Champions League semifinals, after all, the situation at that time was indeed beneficial to Bayern, They could have qualified on the advantage of more away goals even if they won a goal at home, but in the end they were held to a draw at home by Inter Milan.

The "Red Devils" faced Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-finals, which really made Manchester United fans happy for a few days, and a person who knows a little bit about football knows that the gap between Manchester United and Inter Milan today is too big, and it is not at all dependent on luck to make up for it, if it is against Bayern Munich, maybe Manchester United is still a little bit dangerous, but against Inter Milan...... It seems that there is really no suspense!

Manchester United welcomed their FA Cup semi-final opponents at Wembley Stadium on 18 April...... Derby County!

Speaking of which, the Derby County team was also quite lucky before, and they did not encounter any strong teams along the way in the FA Cup, playing Charlton Athletic in the third round, and fighting Arsenal in the fourth round of the "Gunners" who were playing the first round of the Champions League knockout round, and they were playing at home. In the end, they defeated their opponents 2-0, and in the fifth round, they simply faced Birmingham, and in the sixth round, they met Reading.

Along the way, Derby County have not faced any strong teams, which can be described as the ultimate luck, but they met Manchester United in the semi-finals who are unbeaten in 52 games in all competitions so far this season. This good fortune really came to an end.

Before the FA Cup semi-finals were played, the Derby County team was unanimously underestimated, no one thought they could do a miracle at Wembley, and even the manager "Big Sam" Allardyce was pessimistic: "We met Manchester United again, good luck finally left us, I think this is the mood of any team when they meet Manchester United, this team is so strong, facing them...... We had to put up a bucket formation and play defensive counter-attacks. ”

That's what Allardyce said, and that's what he did. At Wembley Stadium, Sam Allardyce fielded a back three in front of four centre-backs, giving him all the defensive players he could handle.

But even so, Derby County still couldn't stop United's attack, or rather, they couldn't stop it...... Shaq's goal!

At Wembley Stadium, the Derby County team still held on for a while, and the tactics of the iron bucket formation, which completely lost face, could still cause headaches for many teams. But...... There is also a god-level existence in Manchester United's team, Shaq!

With 21 minutes played, United attacked in the middle. Three attempts to get the ball into the opposition penalty area were blocked, at which point Cleverley distributed the ball to the left, and then Ganso struggled to send the ball in front of the Derby County penalty area on the left......

After that, when Shaq appeared in the passing lane, the fate of the Derby County team was sealed!

"Smack!"

Shaq leaned on the Derby County defender and swung his left leg into the ball as it flicked into the ball. The arch of his left foot drove the ball straight into the bottom right corner of the Derby County goal.

This kind of shooting is actually very difficult, but Shaq did it very well, so naturally this effect is ...... It's also good!

The Derby County goalkeeper was already focused on the near corner, and when he spotted the ball heading towards the far corner, he couldn't help but open his mouth in shock. There was even a trace of doubt in his eyes, this ball ...... Why did you fly over there!?

“GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

More than 40,000 United fans cheered at Wembley Stadium, and then the two stands they occupied appeared with a huge red pattern with striking white numbers...... 102!

"That's amazing! It was Shaq's 102nd goal for United this season! But his supporters are also really crazy, we have the information, like this huge canvas, the length is 40 meters, the width is 30 meters, after the cloth is made, workers need to manually draw the numbers and Manchester United team crest, a picture costs 3,000 euros, it seems that Manchester United fans love Shaq so much! ”

After Shaq opened the scoring for Manchester United, the Derby County team's iron bucket formation was loosened, this is a winner-or-lose cup game, losing one goal and losing two goals are the same, they are now behind, if you don't try to attack, then there is really no chance, take advantage of Manchester United's offensive to play fiercely, maybe you can also gain something when counterattacking!

This kind of thinking makes the Derby County players more motivated when they fight back, but the reality is ...... Manchester United have scored again!

Sark...... Another goal!

With 33 minutes played, Flaney snuffed out the Derby counter-attack with a header that slotted the ball straight into the middle circle and into the Derby penalty area.

Shaq, who was at the front of Manchester United, was incredibly fast when running without the ball, he surpassed all the Derby County players with his speed, and after entering the opponent's left side of the penalty area, without any feints, he suddenly pushed the lower right corner of the Derby County goal with his left foot in the process of dribbling the ball, and the ball passed in front of the goalkeeper, and finally rolled into the corner......

"The ball is in again! 2:0! Sark! It's Shaq again! This young man is sure to become a god on the pitch in the future, and he has not stopped at all after achieving the great achievement of scoring 100 goals in a single season, which is Shaq's 103rd goal for Manchester United this season! Shaq is still moving forward, every step he takes, every goal he scores, is creating a greater miracle! ”

It's still two shifts in the early morning! Is it 40+ or 4/20, 5/20? (To be continued......)
