When it comes to Ivan Crewe, most fans don't have a deep impression of him, even the football commentators, football media, etc., who may just know the player and know that he is Derby's 'second scorer', that's all.

It sounds a little strange.

If a small team, such as Norwich and Crystal Palace, which have been relegated this season, their second scorer is not, even if it is the first scorer, no one will care, except for real Norwich and Crystal Palace fans, who cares who is the player with the most goals in their team?

But Derby County is different, Derby County are first in the league, and a win in this game will win the league title!

Such a team naturally receives a lot of attention, not to mention the second scorer, the whole team has goalscorers, or threatening players, will be in the media and fans' attention, so Van der Vaart became famous, Ribery became famous, Morris also became famous, and the front and back youngsters Bolton Reiter and Alfred received a lot of attention but the team's 'second scorer', Ivan Crewe, as the main right midfielder, did not receive much attention, and even said that his name was not as good as Alfred as a defender.

That sounds weird.

Fans outside of Derby, even if they know Ivan Crewe and ask them to talk about Ivan Crewe's characteristics, maybe they will just say, "A player of good luck? 'The reason for the doubts is that they don't know for sure because they don't know the characteristics of Ivan Crewe, they just feel that the player doesn't have any characteristics but he can keep scoring goals, so it comes down to luck and stuff.

This statement is absolutely incorrect, and it mainly reflects the fact that 'Ivan Crewe has scored a lot of goals, but he is not very famous'.

In fact, Ivan Crewe is not very famous, and the reasons are complicated.

The first point to mention is his style. Like Ribery, there are not many goals this season, but Ribery's football is always attractive, just with that superb foot technique, he is enough to attract the attention of many fans, at this point, even if Ivan Crewe scores, many times it is tactical insertion to find opportunities, his skills are not 'fancy', and his individual dribbling ability is not outstanding. This style is not the type that fans like.

Besides, Ivan Crewe is almost 27 years old after all!

Even if he scores a lot of goals, but a player at this age has passed the period of rapid fame, if he is three years younger, just by virtue of the number of goals, it is enough for the English media to report on him wildly, but the 27-year-old player, in two years, will really be old.

The last thing to talk about is the position of Ivan Crewe.

Ivan Crewe is a wing-back on the right and a position that is not a problem in other countries. But it's not the same in England, where the main right midfielder is captain David Beckham, and then Ivan Crewe's age, in other words. Ivan Crewe has little hope of making it to the England squad and earning a place in the main side.

Because of this, a player like this who is destined not to play for the national team naturally has a lot less media attention on Cheng Dù, even if he scores a lot of goals in the league.

So. Now, on the pitch at Old Trafford, when Ivan Crewe stands in front of the ball. When I was about to take the free kick, many people made a sound of surprise.

"Ivan Crewe?"

"Shouldn't Rafael van der Vaart take the penalty? Ribery can too! How did you get up to such an unknown guy! ”

"How Derby's free throws are distributed!"

"This guy can't do it!"

“”

Most of these doubts came from non-Derby County fans and the media, but they did not affect the game on the pitch at a time when Ivan Crewe was ready to take the penalty.

Derby didn't use any deceptive positioning, just Ivan Crewe stood alone in front of the ball, and it was clear that the ball was taken by Ivan Crewe.

Manchester United have lined up the human wall.

Ivan Crewe stared in the direction of the United goal, jumped twice on the spot and moved his body, then stood there waiting for the referee to signal the penalty.

All cameras are pointed at him.

There is no doubt that Ivan Crewe is the protagonist of the whole game at this time, any TV station that broadcasts the game live, the camera gives him, and his every move is clearly watched by countless fans.

Ivan Crewe also thought about the current situation, and he was somewhat excited.

In fact, Ivan Crewe also wants to be famous, and as a professional footballer, who wouldn't want to be famous? It's a pity that his age and technical director are not as famous as many of his teammates.

Still, Ivan Crewe is happy – three years ago, no, two years ago, he was a substitute for the 'League Two team' Derby County, and now he is already the starting wing-back for the 'League Champions' Derby County, so what's not to be satisfied with? And he is also somewhat famous now, at least many people know his name, and there has been a significant increase in personal salary, in short, Ivan Crewe is still very satisfied with his current situation.

But Ivan Crewe still has a heart that wants to be famous.

Now is your chance!

In front of all the fans, it was tempting to put the ball into the Manchester United goal and extend the score again with just one kick to help the team seal the victory and seal the league title at the same time!

Ivan Crewe knows very well that as long as he can score the goal, the team can seal the win in advance, and this superb goal will be his own, and he will be the key to the team's victory, and the thought of this makes his heart beat a little faster.

He suppressed his excitement and looked at the wall in front of him and the goal in the distance.

"This goal, it must be kicked in!"

"For the team's victory, for the championship, and for everyone to see what I'm capable of!" Ivan Crewe thought firmly

Manchester United are not underestimating Ivan Crewe.

In fact, they can't afford to underestimate their opponents now because they're two goals down, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes in this situation, and even if some players don't think Ivan Crewe's free-kick is much of a threat, they take their defence very seriously.

On the sidelines, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson also watched the game carefully.

The old knight knows it well. Manchester United's chances are running out, and if the game goes on normally, it can only be said that the team still has a little hope of equalizing the score, but if Derby County can score this goal, then Manchester United will not have a chance, and in the case of three goals down, the game can even be declared over early, and Derby County can also start celebrating the league championship in advance.

And the position of this free-kick is too threatening!

The player who was ready to take the penalty, Ferguson also knew, and now Derby County is famous. Naturally, Ivan Crewe can become the second most goal-scorer in the Derby County team after Van der Vaart, and his shooting skills are absolutely excellent, and Ferguson sees something else - just now Derby County had a free kick opportunity, such a good opportunity, their players didn't even discuss it, Ivan Crewe stood up, no one objected to his teammates, no one argued, if it wasn't for the pre-game agreement. That is that the Derby County players have a lot of trust in Ivan Crewe's footwork, and can even be said to be convinced of Ivan Crewe's free-kick in that position.

Ferguson hopes it's the former.

If Derby County had already discussed the free throwers in various positions, there would naturally be nothing to fear, and it could only be said that the young Chinese had done a good job. But if it's the latter, it's really dangerous!

This free-kick position is inherently dangerous, not to mention players who are good at free-kicks, any player with good footwork has a certain chance of scoring it. In this case, Derby County, which has star players such as Van der Vaart and Ribery, all the players will actually believe in one player. No one is scrambling to take the penalty, doesn't that mean that this goal is equivalent to going in.

Thinking of this, Ferguson was even more worried

Wan Sheng was also standing on the sidelines, also watching the ball carefully.

Unlike Ferguson, Wan Sheng knows his players very well, and there is no doubt that Ivan Crewe will take the penalty for this goal, because that position is what he is good at.

In the team, there are many players who can take free kicks, Van der Vaart, Ribery, and even Morris and Kluivert can play well, but Ivan Crewe is definitely the best among them, which can be seen from the number of attributes of the football training master system.

Ivan Crewe's free kick attribute evaluation has already exceeded '95', coupled with the various attributes and state bonuses of Wansheng's coaching skills, in the official game, Ivan Crewe's free kick ability is by no means weaker than David Beckham.

And Ivan Crewe's free-kick was also one of the means of scoring for Derby County.

Although Ivan Crewe is not conspicuous, in fact, he has scored six goals in the field of free-kicks this season, which may not be as good as Beckham's appearance at Manchester United, but it is important to know that Derby County has a lot of goals, and it is quite good to be able to score six of Ivan Crewe's free-kicks.

After all, Derby County is not an England team that cannot win the game without Beckham's free-kick

But Ivan Crewe is unobtrusive and doesn't affect his ability, and this goal, the perfect position, coupled with the world's top free-kick players, has too many chances to score.

Wan Sheng clenched his fists, forcibly resisted the excitement in his heart, and looked at it seriously with wide eyes.

This is the chance to directly decide the outcome of the game!

With this goal, the team will be able to lead by three goals, and at that time, even if the Manchester United players have the fighting spirit, it will be meaningless to hold on to the end, and three goals are enough to ensure that the team can win the championship steadily, and it also means that the team can win the league championship steadily!

"Come on, Ivan!"

Wan Sheng silently looked forward to it

All eyes were on the direction of the United goal.

The referee signaled that it was time to take a penalty, and Ivan Crewe took two steps back, took a deep breath and trotted towards the football.

In the rhythm, Ivan Crewe picked up his right leg!

His eyes were fixed on the wall, his eyes on the goal and the football, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and sat with every movement according to his feelings, at this point his free throws were really like textbooks - three steps in front of the ball, even the same distance, and then he swung his right foot, and the instep brushed the side of the football.

The soccer ball suddenly flew off the grass, spun and rushed into the air!

Manchester United goalkeeper Carroll half-crouched in front of the goal, staring carefully at the feet of Ivan Crewe, hoping that the wall would block the shot, so that he would not have to face danger and the goal would be much safer, but unfortunately after the opponent's shot, he saw the football rush over the wall.

It's a curved ball, and it's spinning very well!

While judging the course of the football, Carroll unconsciously took two steps back, and when he saw the ball spinning and rushing towards him, he jumped on the spot to save.

But the moment he jumped, he knew that there was a mistake in judgment!

The shot swirled in such a way that his prediction was skewed, and he could only watch the ball pass in front of his hands.

As the football flew by, Carroll felt a deep sense of despair.

The third one

The mood of all the Manchester United people in the stadium was no better than Carroll's, and they watched the football fly into the air and crash straight into their own goal with a big arc.

This kind of ball seems familiar?

The Reds felt a sense of familiarity, and they quickly came up with a name – David Beckham, who had used this arc to help United win time and time again a few years ago, and it was a wonderful time.

But now, similar goals belong to the opponent, and the eyes of many Manchester United fans have become complicated. (To be continued......)
