Chapter 113: Overtaking

"James! He saved Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty! ”

"Great save! Great James! He kept the goal, he kept the hope! He's a hero for Manchester City! ”

'The score is still 1:1, David James is playing well, if Eriksen is watching this game, probably he will start thinking about making James the goalkeeper of choice!'

“”

The commentators, commentators, and guests were almost amazed by this save, because C-Ronaldo's shot was quite good, and after he completed the shot, he didn't even look at the result, just turned around to celebrate.

Of course, this also caused him to be very embarrassed, but the important thing is that this almost inevitable goal was saved by James!

Almost all media reporters, commentators, etc. were amazed by this save, and even the media supporting Manchester United had to sigh, "James's save was so beautiful!" ”

The situation was something that many people did not expect, and after the referee awarded Manchester United a penalty, everyone thought that United would definitely win.

According to their thinking, Manchester United should have scored a penalty, and then the game ended 1-2, and Manchester United won the Manchester derby away to complete the revenge battle; But the reality is that C-Ronaldo's penalty kick was saved by James Oh, no, it was pounced into his arms!

Just when many people were still amazed by James's save, James had already kicked the ball to the frontcourt!

Manchester City's counterattack!

The game was once again tense and some hadn't even reacted yet, but the football had flown up front.

The situation is changing so fast!

After Manchester United were awarded a penalty, everyone thought they would have won.

It was as if the United fans had seen the win, shouting from the stands and chanting the name 'Ronaldo'. In order to fight against a larger number of Manchester City fans, Manchester City fans are worried about penalties and have no intention of fighting with Manchester United fans at all, so for a while, the voice of Manchester United fans seems to have become the mainstream.

Seeing C-Ronaldo's penalty kick, Manchester City fans are already expecting a goal.

A large part of them believe that Cristiano Ronaldo is better than the team's top scorer Ruud van Nistelrooy. There are many reasons, because C-Ronaldo's football is more popular, his superb individual skills are more eye-catching, because C-Ronaldo is younger and more handsome, he perfectly replaced David Beckham's 'Manchester United Best Idol Player' throne vacancy, because C-Ronaldo is already a strong star, as a wing-back, he can score directly many times, and the number of goals is also ranked third in the team. Less than strikers Ruud van Nistelroy and Wayne Rooney, and it is worth mentioning that last month United broke a new record when they became the first team in Premier League history to score more than 1,000 goals, and it was Cristiano Ronaldo who scored the 1,000th goal, thus winning more Manchester United fans.

However, their support does not mean that Cristiano Ronaldo can kick the ball in. Of course, he played well. He even thought he had scored, but unfortunately, the goal was scored by two people, and David James was obviously not cooperative, and he saved the ball even more perfectly.

Then the United fans fell silent.

They don't know how to deal with this disparity.

Just now they were expecting to score and then win the Manchester derby away. At the same time, it is a heavy blow to arch-rivals Manchester City, who are going to compete with Chelsea for the league title, and missing three points is quite detrimental to them, which of course is what United fans want to see.

It's a pity that Manchester City goalkeeper David James saved the ball and then, now it's the opponent's counterattack!?

It's a counterattack!

Manchester City launched a quick counter-attack!

Watching the football fly to its own half. The United fans were stunned, not because they didn't want to adapt, but because the situation was changing so quickly, they were expecting a goal a few seconds ago, and they were worried about the team's defence a few seconds later.

At the same time, the cries of Manchester City fans are rising again

David James drove the ball straight to the frontcourt, shouting the name 'Morris', but in reality, he just glanced at the field, saw a player in his team's jersey, and kicked it over.

He kicked it very hard and the ball flew straight across the half-court and was already over the halfway line when it fell.

That's when James noticed that the teammate he was seeing was Darren Bent, not Morris, who was running forward on the other side, but it was too far away from the football.

James felt a little embarrassed at once, but fortunately no one paid attention to him at this time.

However, Fletcher and O'Shea in the middle were yelled 'fooled' by James, because they were not the team's core attacking midfielders, when C-Ronaldo took the penalty just now, they did not stand too far forward, so at this time they had time to withdraw to their own half, when they heard James's shout, they ran towards Morris almost without hesitation, and sure enough, the latter also ran forward for the first time.

But they followed Morris for a few steps, and then turned around to find the ball missing.

In a bit of a daze, they heard Ferdinand shouting, "Over there, watch over there", and then they saw that the football was under the feet of the young Manchester City striker on the other side.

Fletcher and O'Shea are both young players, and they are also the young stars that Fletcher has focused on.

O'Shea has played more games due to his ability to play in many positions, compared to Fletcher, who is a little bit worse, and today is a rare start for him, but he is a player from the United Academy and the purest Manchester United, although he has not played much, but he does not have to worry about the support of the fans.

As young players, they naturally look out for other young players in the league as well, so they know Darren Bent, who is said to be a very strong young striker.

However, they don't care about Darren Bent, because Darren Bent is not as good as Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, even if they are inferior to them.

This can be seen in the playing time.

O'Shea was already a player between a regular and a substitute at Manchester United, and his playing time was no worse than that of the regular selection; Fletcher has played a little less, but he has also been a solid substitute in the middle of midfield, and this game is now. He started in place of Paul Scholes.

What about Darren Bent? A substitute striker who simply can't compete with Nicola Anelka for a regular place at Manchester City is nothing more.

Even though the kid has a few goals in the league, so what? His playing time is very unstable, he is still just a substitute, for the substitute, Manchester United's substitute is naturally stronger than Manchester City's substitute, and even Manchester United's substitute can go to Manchester City to play the main team.

This is the pride of the proud door!

Maybe in some ways. The two were right, but now they can only watch Darren Bent play!

Darren Bent keeps the ball firmly at his feet!

He took two steps forward to meet Rio Ferdinand, who was dropping back to defend and facing England's No.1 centre-back, Darren Bent calmly crossed the ball to one side, where Andy Cole had already cut in.

As a former Manchester United star, Andy Cole is always in good spirits when he plays with Manchester United, even after the game has been played for the entire game. He still looked energetic, and when Andy Cole received the pass, he made a direct move forward, and then Fletcher, who was watching from the side, finally had room to play, and he let O'Shea mark Morris and himself went over to defend the 'senior' Andy Cole.

Andy Cole faced Fletcher, and did not make a gesture of 'educating the juniors', but passed the ball to Morris in frontcourt, where Morris suddenly accelerated and got the ball directly. O'Shea next to him had no choice but to continue to follow. Prepare to stick to Morris and not let him get off his feet easily.

After Morris stopped the ball, he only took a step forward and passed the ball again.

By this time he was in the corner of the penalty area and he chose to cross the ball to the other side, where the only one who could catch the ball was Darren Bent!

This pass was so sudden!

Now Manchester City is 3 to 3. However, because the position is not very high, it is not easy to find opportunities, so Darren Bent chose to give the ball to Andy Cole, who is in the middle and can calmly pass to the left and right or to the right. He then opted to give the ball to Morris and wanted Morris to look for an opportunity.

Morris had a chance, he just had to dribble into the box and then face O'Shea, who could have found a shot on his own.

That's the rhythm of a goal in general.

But Morris didn't follow common sense at all, he only took two steps forward, and directly transferred the ball to the front of Darren Bent, this pass made the three people of Manchester United's defense unexpected, O'Shea next to him watched Morris complete the pass, and didn't even make a stop action, Fletcher didn't have time to do anything, as for Ferdinand on the other side, he was even thinking about whether to make up for the defense, so the position was a little far away from Darren Bent.

So Darren Bent easily received the pass and was unguarded!

"Ferdinand is leaking!"

"It was a serious defensive mistake!"

"But the reason is that Morris's pass is so good! It's amazing! ”

"Manchester United never imagined that Morris would do that!"

"Seeing this pass, Eriksen will also put Morris on the bench for 90 minutes? Hahaha"

At the same time, almost everyone was amazed by Morris's pass, which was also almost unexpected, but gave Darren Bent the best chance.

On the sidelines, Wan Sheng also clenched his fists.

When he saw Morris passing, he couldn't help but shout 'beautiful' like a regular fan, but he seemed more professional and reacted faster, and it was only after he shouted that the various commentators and fans reacted.

And now, it's up to Darren Bent!

Darren Bent picking up the ball on the edge of the United penalty area with no one around him was definitely something that no one expected, not even himself.

When he received the pass, he was still a little stunned, and glanced at Ferdinand's position, and instantly he was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed forward with the ball.

This is a great opportunity to be wasted!

The United goal was directed towards the away fans' stands, where the United fans let out a shocking exclamation, and Darren Bent continued to move forward amid these exclamations!

Rio Ferdinand wanted to run over to stop him, but goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar had more chances than he did, and the only thing he could do was keep running towards goal, hoping to block some angles with his body before Darren Bent could shoot.

At this time, Darren Bent has already faced Van der Sar!

The thought of whether to shoot or not crossed his mind was not too sure in the face of Van der Sar's attack.

At this moment, his eyes swept to Ferdinand and Morris who was following on the other side, and he barely had time to think about anything, and subconsciously passed the ball sideways.

Almost at the same time, many commentators shouted, "Shoot!" ”

But in reality, the football only moved to the far corner of the goal, including Ferdinand, Fletcher and Andy Cole next to him, plus goalkeeper Van der Sar and O'Shea who followed at the end, almost all could only watch the football rush past, and then they saw Morris appear in that direction.

He ran over calmly, unhurriedly.

It's like a normal shooting drill.

When he ran to the position, he didn't make any superfluous movements at all, just raised his right foot lightly, aimed at the ball and pushed forward, and the football suddenly changed direction and rolled into the door without handles!

“Gooooooooooooal!!”

"Maurice! Maurice! Maurice! He pushes the ball into the empty net! The ball is in! 2:1! 2:1! Manchester City overtook the score in the last minute! Goal! Goal! Gooooooooooooooal!!!”

Almost all the commentators shouted for the goal because it was arguably the decisive goal and a brilliant goal, and the brilliant combination between Morris and Darren Bent was amazing, but even more surprising was the change in the situation - a dozen seconds ago, United were still taking penalties, and a dozen seconds later, the football was flying into the United goal.

Many Manchester United fans were stunned in disbelief, they suspected that they were dreaming! How could it be! How can it be! Didn't C-Ronaldo still take penalties just now? How football is in our goal!

But that's the reality!

The scoreboard on the pitch clearly tells them that Manchester United are 2-1 down!

At this time, some Manchester United people reacted and immediately subconsciously felt, "This is offside, right?" Just now, Darren Bent has rushed to the front, and then he passes the ball to the right, it must be offside!

They couldn't be more convinced!

Then the replays of the various live matches were started on TV, and then everyone could clearly see that Rio Ferdinand gave up defending Darren Bent and rushed to the goal (to be continued......
