No. 190: Holes in Manchester United's backline

"Berbatov!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray exclaimed.

Before the penalty spot, the unmarked Berbatov met the ball and swung it into the ball, which immediately flew into the bottom left corner of the Birmingham goal.

With such a close-range shot, as long as Berbatov doesn't miss the ball and doesn't hit it too squarely, almost any goalkeeper has no chance.

Joe Hart reacted quickly and fell to the ground quickly, but he still didn't touch the football.

Corner! Dead end in the absolute sense of the word!

The ball flew into the goal against the inside of the post in the bottom left corner and hit the white net hard, sending a white spray.

"Gooo......oo

"Dimitov! Berbatov! The goal was scored by Dimitar Berbatov, who opened the door to victory for Manchester United! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor also shouted passionately.

"Berbatov, Berbatov!" The entire Old Trafford stadium rang out with a single note, and all the United fans in the stadium shouted the hero's name loudly.

Immediately after Berbatov's name was shouted, the Manchester United fans sang the Manchester United anthem, "Glory to Manchester United".

Glory to Manchester United! Glory to Manchester United! Glory to Manchester United! The Red Army is going forward, just like the "Busby kids" in the past, we want to let the flag of the Red Devils fly high, you will see it everywhere, you will hear people singing proudly: Manchester United, Manchester United!

Manchester United fans were thrilled and the entire Old Trafford stadium became a sea of joy.

'It was the first time the game started, it was the first time for Manchester United and they got on the scoresheet, so it was a fantastic start. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.

Berbatov, who scored the goal, was excited, rushed directly to the corner flag area, pulled the corner flagpole, and shouted excitedly.

The players of the Manchester United team were also very excited, and they all rushed to Berbatov one by one, holding Berbatov's arm, and celebrating excitedly.

On the sidelines, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face and applause.

Behind Alex Ferguson, Manchester United coach Whelan sneered and stared at Dongfang Chen on the pitch with a look of disdain.

1-0, at the beginning of the first half, the Birmingham team conceded a goal, this luck really came home, and all the Birmingham team players were a little confused.

It was a really bad start, and it almost ended the game with a 0-1 scoreline.

Dongfang Chen frowned, this start is really bad. However, it is clear that this is not the time to complain about this, and the Birmingham team must pick themselves up after all, after all, the game has just started, and if the Birmingham team are like this at this time, then this game could be a disaster day for the Birmingham team.

Dongfang Chen as the captain of the team, he can't watch the team sink, Dongfang Chen looked at the captain's armband on his arm, and then quickly came to the Birmingham players, clapped his hands and reminded his teammates: "Cheer up, the game has just begun, don't be affected by this ball, we still have time!" ”

The players of the Birmingham team looked up at Dongfang Chen one after another, and Dongfang Chen immediately waved his hand domineeringly: "Cheer up, we want to win!" Victory! ”

The Birmingham players woke up from the accidental goal conceded and shook their heads, as if they wanted to be sober and then get back into the game.

The Manchester United players were celebrating wildly, and naturally they didn't notice what was happening on Birmingham's side.

Truth be told, the Manchester United players really didn't have Birmingham City in mind and in their opinion, they won this game with ease.

The game restarted, Dongfang Chen took the football a little, and then rushed into the Manchester United half by himself.

Kevin Prince Boateng in midfield caught the ball and immediately led it forward, facing Berbatov who pounced, Kevin Boateng easily dipped Berbatov.

After being detained, Berbatov did not turn back to chase after him, but stopped directly and took a leisurely walk in the front court.

Looking at Berbatov's table on the field, Manchester United's head coach Alex Ferguson was very dissatisfied, and Alex Ferguson was really angry with Berbatov's lazy appearance.

For Berbatov's laziness, Ah Laike Ferguson has long been dissatisfied, he has repeatedly said in private or in public that Berbatov is too lazy, I hope Berbatov can correct this, run more in the frontcourt, actively return to defense, and increase his running area.

But Berbatov still went his own way, not giving Alex Ferguson any face, and he even said in front of reporters: "That's the way I play, I can score 20 goals in a single season, why should I change?" ”

Alex Ferguson loves and hates Berbatov, loves really as Berbatov said, his goal efficiency in a season is still good, and hates why this guy doesn't work harder, in that case, Berbatov will achieve more.

Now seeing that Berbatov is still doing his own thing on the court, Alex Ferguson can't help but shake his head.

Kevin Boateng dribbled the ball into United's half as soon as he got past Dimitar Berbatov, where United striker Wayne Rooney met him.

Seeing Wayne Rooney pounce, Kevin Boateng immediately pushed the ball to the side, and the ball rolled sharply to the feet of Sebastian Larsson on the wing.

As soon as Sebastian Larsson received the ball, Manchester United's new signing Valencia pounced, and he stretched out his leg and almost stabbed the ball at Sebastian Larsson's feet.

Fortunately, Sebastian Larsson reacted quickly enough to gently flick the ball to the side and dodged Valencia's feet, Sebastian Larsson jumped lightly, jumped over Valencia's outstretched leg, and then directly kicked the ball with a big kick and curled the ball towards the Manchester United penalty area.

Sebastian Larsson had a good pass and it went straight behind Rio Ferdinand.

Rio Ferdinand is now older, his reflexes and turns, etc., are not as good as before, and he is not in good form right now, and the goal broke through the United defence in an instant.

Birmingham City striker Sturridge cut in on Sébastian Larsson's pass and Rio Ferdinand, who never had time to turn, scurried past him towards the football.

Ferdinand was so shocked that he turned desperately and chased Sturridge at great speed.

"Opportunity! Sebastian Larsson's pass is good! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray roared loudly.

In the horrified eyes of the United fans, Sturridge burst into the United penalty area, judged the landing of the football, and immediately stopped in the United penalty area, ready to jump up and head the ball.

At this point, Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster rushed forward to the left side of the goal and came up to block the corner.

At this time, Ferdinand, who was desperately fighting, finally caught up and came to Sturridge's side.

However, Sturridge kicked his legs to the ground and jumped high, and his body rose into the air like a rocket.

Ferdinand, who was kicking and breathing, had to look up at Sturridge at this time, and it was too late for him to jump again.

However, years of experience did not let Ferdinand tie his hands, and he immediately moved gently towards Sturridge and gently hit Sturridge with his body, causing Sturridge to lose his balance and fall into the air and unable to fight for the ball.

Ferdinand's action was very subtle and subtle, and no one saw it.

But Sturridge in the air felt it, his body shook slightly, and his body was about to fall forward, Sturridge was horrified in his heart and frowned slightly.

His body was about to lose his balance, and Sturridge, who was in the air, couldn't twist his head to attack the goal.

Sturridge was shocked, was this opportunity going to be missed like this?

Suddenly, Sturridge's eyes lit up, he saw Dongfang Chen rushing into the Manchester United team's penalty area, Sturridge was overjoyed, and before his body lost his balance, he hit the football with his forehead fiercely, and pushed the football to Dongfang Chen, who rushed in.

"Sebastian Larsson's precise long pass...... Sturridge dumped Ferdinand and he went in...... Sturridge leaps high and heads home...... Evenly, it was a pass, Sturridge didn't shoot, it was a header ferry...... The choice was unexpected, the football flew to Dongfangchen, and Manchester United was in danger......" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray roared nervously.

The faces of all the Manchester United fans at the scene changed dramatically at this time, and the happy smiles on their faces were instantly replaced by worry, fear and panic, as if they were about to go to hell.

Birmingham fans bounced up from their seats in an instant, staring at the United penalty area with eyes full of eager anticipation and surprise.

On the sidelines, Birmingham head coach McLeish also propped himself up, leaned out, craned his neck, and stared closely at the stadium.

In the dugout of Manchester United, Alex Ferguson frowned slightly, with some concern in his eyes.

Behind Alex Ferguson, Manchester United's coach Whelan stared at the pitch in horror, his eyes full of disbelief and a frenzied rant in his heart: "How could it be him?" No! He can't score! He can't! ”

Dongfang Chen rushed in, rushed into the Manchester United penalty area, and rushed to the penalty spot.

In fact, Dongfang Chen doesn't think that Sturridge will choose to pass, this guy will definitely choose to head the goal. But he rushed on and slotted into the United penalty area.

Dongfang Chen did this as a goalscorer's instinct, as long as the football has not yet flown into the goal, he can not give up, Dongfang Chen quickly rushed into the Manchester United penalty area.

At this time, the football unexpectedly flew towards him, Dongfang Chen was overjoyed, and his feet immediately rushed towards the football, he didn't want to make any adjustments.

Because if you make adjustments, you will waste some time, and this is a waste of time, and this is a chance for Manchester United.

Manchester United's defenders are very strong and if you hesitate in the box you miss your chances.

Therefore, Dongfang Chen did not make adjustments, directly stepped on the point, rushed into the penalty area, faced the flying football, and directly volleyed with his legs.
