Chapter 504: Peak Duel

waited until the first half played for almost 20 minutes, and after the opening, the two sides, who had been behaving more cautiously, finally let go of their hands and feet and performed for the audience who were paying attention to the game.

In the 21st minute, after Li Yi received a direct plug from Sneijder, he hit the corner of Manchester United's goal, but unfortunately the ball was hit out of the bottom line by Van der Sar's brave single punch.

Two minutes later, Crystal Palace made a comeback, receiving Bale's low cross from the left, Li Yi shook his head with a beautiful lion and hit the ball into the corner of the United goal again.

Unexpectedly, this law can no longer be used, but today it does not favor the Crystal Palace, or Li Yi.

Seeing that the ball was about to fly into the net in the next second, Van der Sar, who can be called omnipotent today, continued his magical performance, and with a light wipe of his fingertips, Li Yi's inevitable header was rejected again!

As the saying goes, you sing and I will appear. Today, this battle of the century is being played at Old Trafford, and as an existence that is no weaker than Crystal Palace in any aspect, Manchester United cannot have no chance at all.

No, in the 25th minute of the first half, Manchester United had the best chance of the first half for both sides.

At that time, it was the ball that fell in the middle many times, and after finally penetrating the Crystal Palace defense, Ronaldo sent a straight stopper, and Rooney got a single chance.

It's a pity that Ronaldo, whose passing is not his strongest point, used a little too much force in this passing footwork, which led to Rooney's final scramble, and Diego Lopez, who was blocked in place, saved.

……

Whew, stretched out his hands, made a downward pressure movement, and blocked Manchester United's attack again, as the midfield metronome of Crystal Palace, Modric was very wise and signaled his players to stabilize a little!

Holding the ball, he unhurriedly put the midfield in a hurry and delayed a little time, and when all the attacking players on his side were in position, Modric began to organize a new round of attacks from Crystal Palace.

A medium and long pass, passing the ball to Nasri, who has a lot of space on the right side, and then starting quickly, changing direction to avoid Scholes, who has been guarding himself, when Nasri's side happened to be surrounded by Manchester United, Modric appeared not far from Nasri.

Good guy, seeing that he is about to make a mistake under the three-man bag that the other party doesn't know how to appear, and he is worried about how to handle the ball well, Modric's arrival can be regarded as a timely rain for Nasri.

In light of this, where would Naris hesitate?

After making a breakthrough feint, Naris shook his ankle and tried to pass the ball to Modric who was not far away.

However, Naris, who just thought he was out of the sea of suffering, was immediately blindsided after passing the ball and seeing the trajectory of the ball!

Because, a red figure that Naris didn't recognize, as if he had calculated that he could pass the ball, after Naris's pass, he just came out of the diagonal spur and took Naris's pass under his feet.

Carrick! This sudden figure is none other than Carrick, who is the most outstanding interception ability among the starting 4 players in the Red Devils midfield today!

And Carrick, as a midfielder, has a good interception ability, which is definitely not all of him, and even his strength is not counted!

What's that, what Carrick is best at, or long passes!

No, after breaking the ball, Carrick didn't even delay for a second, and directly drove the ball to Rooney in the front court with a big foot!

Barzaretti behind him, as a pseudo-center, this time the chubby performance is not much better than Li Yilai!

With a flick of the chest, stop the ball!

While Barzaretti was hesitating to add more force, Rooney's body staggered, as if he couldn't withstand Barzaretti's strength and was about to fall!

At the edge of the penalty area, this position, as an experienced central defender, Barzaretti knows very well that in this position, giving the opponent a free kick is not hesitant to look for death. Therefore, when he found that Xiaopang seemed to be squeezed by himself, Barzaretti didn't need anyone to remind him, and instantly threw the idea of strengthening before to the country of Claw Baby!

The body suddenly tensed, and at the same time raised his hands high, Barzaretti was telling the referee with his actual actions that he had a foul on this ball!

Well, Barzaretti's choice, in fact, is relatively sensible in the strict sense! It's just that before making this choice, Barzaretti seemed to ignore a problem, that is, although the chubby body looks fat, it is definitely not as good as him, but the physical gap between the two is really not enough for Balzaretti to squeeze the former easily.

In this case, why did Chubby squeeze Balzaretti so easily just now?

It seems to be an impossible, unscientific thing, you want to make him reasonable, become scientific, there is only one explanation - Chubby is deliberate!

That's right, in the attack of this ball, Chubby really did it on purpose!

Just now, he was frightened by Barzaretica, although he successfully stopped the ball, but Xiaopang knew very well that this ball didn't want to have any deeper development, he might not even be able to turn around!

In view of this, in order not to let the team's such a good counterattack opportunity go down the drain, Xiaopang had to take risks and fight like that!

Deliberately pretending to lose his center of gravity, as if he was squeezed by Barzaretti! In fact, Rooney, who never lost his center of gravity from beginning to end, didn't care about how Barzaretti would choose after seeing the flaws in his sale! The left hand was propped up on the ground, and then the body was centered on the left foot, resting on the ground to complete the turn, straightening up the waist, and not paying attention to where Balzaretti was at this time, just straightened up, Xiaopang directly lifted his right foot and completed the shot!

"Bump!" Watching the ball go straight to the opponent's goal after making full contact with his instep, Barzaretti, who was supposed to appear in his shooting route, was now standing at his side with his hands raised! Chubby knows that he has a long shot, whether he can score or not, in short, in this conversation, he won! ――

"Okay, Rooney is very nice to pass and shoot!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！ The ball is in, the ball is in! Wayne Rooney, in the 30th minute of the first half, Manchester United finally scored the first goal by their main striker Wayne Rooney and rewrote the score on the field! 1 to 0! They are ahead!

In other words, Wayne's shot just now was really too decisive! From the fact that he deliberately sold the flaw, and then made a turning action with a ground punch similar to that in the Celestial Empire Kung Fu, to shooting directly after he got up, the whole action was done in one go, and there was no mud and water at all! And, I can't say that Manchester United's luck is really good today, as far as Wayne just did, if you want to say where he will shoot the ball, I can guarantee that even Rooney himself is not sure!

But such a long-range shot ended up playing a theoretical dead end, so that Diego López didn't react at all! It's luck, and it's a sign of strength! ”
