Qin Xiong is one of several outstanding players on the field.

He did his job well in a central midfield role.

However, when the scene is stalemate, he can't change the overall shape.

Because his passes to the flanks or up front were very successful, but his team-mates couldn't keep the attack going.

When Bergkamp was unable to form a forward threat in front of United's penalty area, Bergkamp took advantage of a gap to gesture to Qin Xiong, and he had to cover his team-mates.

In the 21st minute of the game, Campbell cut off the football at Rooney's feet, he passed the ball to Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong, who had his back to Scholes, passed the ball diagonally to Ljungberg, and immediately turned around after the ball.

Ljungberg crossed the halfway line and passed the ball back to Qin Xiong, who followed closely less than a meter behind him as Qin Xiong ran forward, Qin Xiong knew he didn't have time to adjust, and as he ran, he observed the shape in front of him.

Bergkamp have had problems in attack, but he has also kept United's defence at bay.

Silvestre was on the move right behind him, ready to intercept a pass to Bergkamp.

The old and demonic Bergkamp slowly retreated during this attack, and Sylvester kept up with him, probably not noticing that the space behind him was getting bigger and bigger as he clinged to Bergkamp.

Henry quickly slanted behind Sylvester from the side, and he wanted to look at Qin Xiong as he ran, and the two of them had a good heart.

When Ljungberg's horizontal pass arrived in front of him, Qin Xiong kept the ball and sent it with a precise through ball!

Wonderful, scalpel-like straight stopper!

Manchester United fans watched in horror from the stands as Thierry Henry slipped away from the gap between Phil Neville and Rio Ferdinand. Cut straight to the empty area behind Silvestre.

Single Knife Ball!

Henry had just taken a step to the ball. Ferdinand, who came from behind diagonally, didn't know if he had touched the ball or tackled Henry. Outside the penalty area, Thierry Henry was brought to the ground and the ball was cleared by Carroll's foot.

Arsene Wenger erupted in displeasure on the sidelines, Henry himself was not a player keen on reasoning with the referee, he just got up and looked at the referee, Mike Riley said nothing, Henry shook his head and trotted back, Ferdinand stood up and roared at Sylvester. You don't have to guess to know that you are reminding the opponent to pay attention to their defensive position!

Mike Riley's ability to control the game is hard to compliment.

When players from both sides disrupted the attack with successive tackles, he did not say anything, not even verbal warning.

This makes the style of play more and more brutal.

Three minutes later, Qin Xiong assisted in defending the side to snipe Ronaldo who was advancing the ball, and when Reyes was chasing behind him, Ronaldo made a big stride to get rid of the ball, but Qin Xiong also broke out acceleration and cut to Cristiano Ronaldo's body at the same time as he accelerated, and he defended in a premeditated way at the right time.

But he didn't expect Ronaldo to roll exaggeratedly and fall out of the sideline after hitting his shoulder!

Referee Mike Riley blew the whistle for a foul on Qin Xiong, which seemed to mean to block the foul.

Qin Xiong didn't look at Ronaldo, picked up the football on the ground and walked towards the referee. Rooney rushed over to snatch the ball from him, but Qin Xiong circled the ball from behind his waist to avoid Rooney's movements. This made Rooney irritable and pushed Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong was not to be outdone, pushed back, and pointed to the sideline without looking back and yelled at Rooney: "Get out!" I didn't foul! He fell on his own initiative! Watch your moves and don't be too presumptuous! ”

Rooney was like an enraged lion cub and roared at Qin Xiong: "You should shut up and get out of the way!" Who do you think you are? This isn't the Highbury! ”

Qin Xiong threw a contemptuous and mocking smile at Rooney.

What about Old Trafford?

The referee came over and separated Rooney and Qin Xiong, and before the players of the two teams got together and could brew a conflict, Mike Riley whistled many times to remind the players on both sides to refrain from their feelings, and then called Qin Xiong and Rooney in front of him, telling them to restrain their behavior and focus on the game, and finally let the two reconcile, Qin Xiong and Rooney patted each other to turn the conflict into a jade silk.

The referee signaled that Rooney could leave, and Qin Xiong said to Mike Riley at this time: "Just now after he accelerated with the ball, the football has been out of his control range, me and he have a chance to grab the ball, I took the first step to get in position, he hit me and fell out of the sideline, I have no problem, it shouldn't be my foul!" ”

Mike Riley obviously didn't want to listen to Qin Xiong's explanation, he said to Qin Xiong: "I won't discuss with you what happened before I blew the whistle and punished you for a foul, what I want to say is what happened later, you shouldn't put on such a posture, hold the ball and walk towards me, dissatisfied with my penalty, and also make a provocative behavior against the opponent, I know this is a key game, but you have to understand that if your behavior causes a bad incident, you must be punished, okay, now I give you a warning, I hope you concentrate on the game." , don't challenge my authority, I give you a foul, you will foul, otherwise everyone will question the penalty and argue with me, can the game go on? ”

After saying that, Mike Riley took out a yellow card and showed it to Qin Xiong.

Qin Xiong turned around and walked to the backcourt, although his expression was calm, he still silently cursed the referee in his heart.

Scholes' free-kick was passed into the Arsenal penalty area, Ruud van Nistelrooy failed to grab the header, Toure was not clean, and the ball fell to the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo on the left side of the penalty spot, the Portuguese genius also looked out of shape today, he shot with his right foot, but the ball was three meters off the goal and rolled out of the bottom line!

When all the players left the penalty area, Ronaldo stood there with his head in his hands and looked sorry.

Qin Xiong didn't know what he was sorry about, and it felt very strange.

It's a waste of an opportunity, it's a boat, what's the point of putting on that expression?

Moreover, Arsenal is about to attack, does he not want to defend on the right side?

It was clear that United's right side of defence was empty, with only full-back Gary Neville present.

So Lehmann kicked the ball to Ashley Cole and the England full-back strode down the left flank, without any hindrance along the way!

By the time Cristiano Ronaldo realizes he's not in a defensive position, it's too late!

When Ashley Cole passed the half, Scholes quickly assisted the wing, Ashley Cole passed the ball to the middle, and Vieira, who was inserted in the back, passed the ball diagonally in front of Ashley Cole, but it was not Ashley Cole who received the ball, but Henry!

Reyes was caught between Thierry Henry in front of him and Ashley Cole behind him, and he could only move out of the flank to the middle.

It may have been a knee-jerk run, but his run managed to grab Phil Neville's attention.

Henry stopped the ball on the flanks and dribbled horizontally to the middle, watching his teammates' movements in the dribble.

Bergkamp is still under the watchful eye of Silvestre, with Rio Ferdinand ready to block Thierry Henry's way down the middle.

Just then, Henry sent a through ball.

The ball rolls diagonally from the halfway point between Sylvester and Ferdinand.

Silvestre's attention was on Bergkamp, he was a little relieved to see that Bergkamp was not moving, but when he saw Qin Xiong rushing forward from a meter away from him with Bergkamp as a cover, he was immediately frightened.

Qin Xiong received Henry's pass on the line of the big penalty area, and only Ferdinand was in the parallel position to him, and even Heinze could not shrink the penalty area to intercept him at the first time.

Ferdinand gritted his teeth and rushed towards Qin Xiong, who made a move after slotting the ball into the penalty area.

It seems to be supported with the right foot, and the left foot is ready to dial the ball inside!

Ferdinand subconsciously thought that Qin Xiong would turn to the middle to get a bigger shooting angle, his rhythm paused, and he planned to intercept Qin Xiong immediately after the lateral pluck, in that case, the success rate would be higher!

But he was wrong!

Qin Xiong's left foot dangled in front of the football and pedaled the bicycle!

After shaking the left foot, the right foot accelerates again!

Ferdinand was struck like a bolt from the blue.

Scammed!

Qin Xiong had already stepped into the small penalty area, he was diagonally facing the goal, and the angle of his shot was getting smaller and smaller.

And he didn't have any passing goals.

When Carol chose the latter between blocking the near corner of the goal or abandoning the goal, Qin Xiong calmly took another step towards the ball!

On his flank, Carroll was no longer able to form a barrier to his shots.

However, Qin Xiong was already less than half a meter away from the bottom line, which was close to zero angle!

He tried his best to control his footwork, without exerting force, and pushed with the arch of his foot.

The ball slowly rolled towards the United goal, sticking to the inside of the post and into the goal! (To be continued......)
