276 Tell you to stumble?
After teaching Ronaldo a lesson, Chen Xi continued to move forward with the ball, and it was still the Neville brothers who were waiting for him.
Looking at the two brothers who were waiting for battle, Chen Xi felt a little depressed in his heart. Everyone uses sister flowers to entertain guests, Lord Fu is good, use two brothers to receive me, Lao Tzu is not a good man!
Thinking about it in my heart, there is no negligence at the feet, the Neville brothers may not be the most defensive partners, but they are definitely the most tacit defensive partners in world football.
This is one of the reasons why Ferguson will give up using Roy Keane to defend Chen Xi alone, of course, he also has part of the consideration for doing so, that is, Gerrard's ability to plug in the back is also quite strong, and he needs to use Keane's defense to contain Gerrard.
Keane has done a very good job so far, at least Gerrard has not had the chance to shoot from distance today.
Chen Xi, who was caught in the bag of the Neville brothers, was not in a hurry, he calmly controlled the ball, looking for a gap between the two brothers!
Since the crossing, Chen Xi has not encountered the opponent's bag and clamp tactics, so he has quite a lot of experience in breaking the bag and clip. He knew that there must be a very tacit understanding between the Neville brothers, but with a tacit understanding, they were also two people, and they couldn't achieve the point of completely merging into one, which meant that there must be gaps between them to take advantage of!
Gary Neville Chen Xi has a record of fighting him alone, and his strength is still relatively certain, so Chen Xi is more inclined to start from Phil Neville's side!
Thinking of this, Chen Xi suddenly turned around and leaned on Phil Neville, who was close to the middle, with his back, and at the same time carefully protected the ball at his feet to prevent Gary Neville from having a chance to break the ball.
After squeezing Phil, Chen Xi suddenly leaned to the right, as if he was about to turn around and rush in the direction of the bottom line, and Phil behind him was immediately ready to follow and help his brother help defense.
However, Chen Xi was just a feint this time, when he made the illusion of breaking through in the direction of the bottom line, he had already knocked the ball behind him, and then his body suddenly turned left to chase the ball again, and then leaned on Phil Neville with the advantage of his body, and cut inside towards the middle!
That's right, Chen Xi took advantage of Phil Neville's relatively thin weakness, and Phil Neville, who was squeezed away by Chen Xi, had no power to fight back at all.
After getting past Phil Neville, Roy Keane immediately stepped in to make up for it, but Chen Xi didn't fight again, poking the ball into the middle before Roy Keane got close.
At this time, Gerrard finally got rid of Roy Keane's defense, and he felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, and at the same time, Chen Xi's pass was also sent.
Without any hesitation, Gerrard was like a tiger out of the cage, picking up his right leg and blasting the ball towards the goal!
The ball swooped down and whistled straight towards the far corner of the goal!
The Liverpool fans in the stands got up from their seats excitedly, thinking that the goal was likely to be scored!
Benitez on the sidelines also stood up from his seat excitedly, and he also felt that there was a play in the ball.
Steven Gerrard, who kicked the shot, also felt that the ball was promising...... However, Howard in front of the goalkeeper doesn't think so, after the American goalkeeper joined Manchester United this season and the bald goalkeeper Butters' position, although his performance is not perfect, he often contributes wonderful performances!
Howard is such a nervous knife goalkeeper, his basic skills may not be as solid as European goalkeepers, but his excellent physical fitness and reaction speed can often complete some saves that ordinary people can't do!
This time, Howard was obviously in a state of excitement, in the face of Gerrard's impeccable long-range shot, the average goalkeeper may simply give up resistance, but Howard's feet were like a spring, directly rising from the ground and flying towards the far post!
The excellent bounce speed and bounce made his fingertips touch the ball in time, and there was a tingling sensation in his fingertips, but Howard was happy in his heart, because he knew that as long as he touched the ball, the ball could basically be dissolved.
Sure enough, Gerrard's shot, which was originally headed for the dead corner, changed direction after colliding with Howard's fingertips, and finally grazed the outer edge of the post and missed the bottom line!
Oh~~~ The Liverpool fans at the back of the goal couldn't help but let out a sigh of regret.
"Unbelievable! It was a world class save! Howard, the American goalkeeper, showed off his terrifying bounce and incredible reaction speed! Gerald's kick of the world wave was dissolved by him in this way! ”
The Liverpool fans in the stands could only sit back in their seats, and Benitez was full of depression on the sidelines.
Gerald hugged the back of his head with a look of chagrin, as if he couldn't understand how that Howard saved his perfect long-range shot!
Chen Xi was also a little depressed, when Gerrard shot the ball, he originally thought he was going to get another assist, but the American goalkeeper ...... Nima, it's too perverted!
Howard was treated like a hero as he rose from the turf, with his team-mates hugging him in celebration and United fans in the stands dedicating their cheers to him.
Howard patted his chest excitedly, in the end, he is an American goalkeeper, and his surname is Zhang Yang!
Subsequently, Chen Xi's corner kick was hit out of the penalty area by Howard, who was in the midst of excitement.
Howard's two performances not only kept Manchester United in the open net, but also greatly boosted the team's morale.
In the following period, Manchester United seized the initiative on the field and launched a series of threatening attacks!
In the thirtieth minute, Giggs, who had been moving on the left side, suddenly switched to the right side, which caught the Liverpool team off guard!
Ryan Giggs sent the ball directly to the goal with his left foot near the corner of the box on the right side, and the cross was fast, flat and of very high quality!
Forlan and Carragher both jumped up at the front point, but unfortunately neither of them could reach the ball, and the ball came to Ruud van Nistelrooy in the middle!
Vanney jumped high and was about to take advantage of the situation to flick his head at the goal, but Hyypia behind him pulled him at the critical moment, which made Vanney's head shake a little slower, and the ball flew past his scalp!
However, this does not mean the end of Manchester United's attack, on the contrary, Forlan and Ruud van Nistelrooy's two consecutive headers greatly interfered with Dudek's judgment.
Dudek realised something was wrong when Ruud van Nistelrooy couldn't get his hands on the ball, and when he swooped towards the far corner, the ball bounced off the ground and hit the side-netting from the inside!
“what~a~gooooooooooooal!!! Ryan ~~~~~ Giggs!! Welsh King's left-footed cross went straight to Dudek's door! Although Dudek was interfered with by two Manchester United strikers, Forlan and Ruud van Nistelrooy, there is no doubt that Giggs's footwork was also very clever, and the route of his pass was determined by the way the ball was played, and if no one touched the ball, the ball would go straight into the far corner of the goal! Hoping to surpass Liverpool's record as one of Liverpool's three most decorated players this season, he has established a leading role in this game! ”
Boom~~~ The Manchester United fans who only occupied a corner of the stadium in the stands burst out with great power at this time, and their cheers overshadowed the Liverpool fans who were ten times their size for a while!
Ferguson, who was chewing gum on the sidelines, also waved his arms excitedly and rushed out of the coach's box!
After the goal, Ryan Giggs also rushed to the stands where the Manchester United fans were and celebrated excitedly.
Chen Xi has nothing to say about such a "dribbling balloon" as Giggs, like he often passes this kind of "thief" ball on the side, once someone touches it, he can send the ball into the goal, even if no one touches it, he can fly into the goal. Obviously, this is not his own stunt!
The Liverpool fans in the stands were a little uneasy to accept the situation, considering that they had just had a long-range shot a few minutes earlier. As a result, it was the Manchester United who scored first!
Chen Xi and his teammates obviously knew what the fans were thinking, so after the game restarted, the Liverpool team launched wave after wave of attacks.
It's a pity that Manchester United's Howard was quite excited, using saves again and again, and attacking again and again to defuse the threat of the Liverpool team!
Howard's excitement made the Liverpudlians feel helpless, but Chen Xi found an opportunity in it.
In the last five minutes of the game, Chen Xi received Gerrard's side kick on the left side!
In the face of the Neville brothers' pinch, Chen Xi suddenly flicked the ball back, and then directly rubbed the ball with his right foot, and the ball passed through the gap between the Neville brothers and flew towards the penalty area!
In the eyes of ordinary people, Chen Xi was just a helpless forced cross when he couldn't break through the Neville brothers!
Howard in front of the goal was also bound to Chen Xi's seemingly blind cross, and the moment he saw the ball fly into the penalty area, he rushed out of the goal, ready to jump high again to knock the ball out of the penalty area...... He's done this before!
However, Howard, who soon rushed out, realized that something was wrong, only to see that the ball in the air did not have a tendency to fall, and flew towards the goal behind him with a strong spin!
Is this a shot? Howard suddenly realized what Chen Xi was thinking. I saw him retreating quickly towards the goal, but how could the speed of the person be faster than the ball?
Before Howard could return to the goal, the ball had already fallen into the goal first!
Calling you to stumble? Before the ball fell into the goal, Chen Xi, whose right foot had not been completely put down, showed a wicked smile on his face!
