Chapter [354]: Unexpected changes
The football rolled to Dongfang Chen's feet.
Manchester United's Paul Scholes and Hargreaves both posted up and came up to intercept Dongfangchen.
Dongfang Chen is the most threatening player in the Birmingham team, as long as Dongfang Chen is prevented, the Birmingham team will basically do nothing.
Scholes and Hargreaves rushed together.
Seeing the two rushing up left and right, Dongfang Chen suddenly turned around and passed the football back to Ji Chengyong, who followed up, and then Dongfang Chen continued to turn around and rush forward.
At this time, Hargreaves followed Dongfang Chen closely and became Dongfang Chen's personal bodyguard. Scholes, on the other hand, rushed forward at a rapid pace to intercept Ji Chengyong.
Dongfang Chen quickly stepped forward, but Hargreaves followed him closely, and Dongfang Chen vigorously and reasonably charged Hargreaves, which still did not make Hargreaves give up.
Seeing this, Ji Chengyong immediately passed the ball to the wing, and the ball flew over Nani's head and towards Sebastian Larsson, who was cutting forward on the wing.
Sebastian Larsson received the ball and immediately rushed to the bottom line with the ball.
Nani and Rafael immediately stepped forward to block the ball, and Sebastian Larsson saw the action of the two men, and he immediately dismissed the idea of going down, and before the two could block it, he directly kicked the ball into the Manchester United penalty area.
"Cross, Sebastian Larsson out of that!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, immediately shouted loudly.
"Dongfang Chen! Dongfang Chen's header hits the goal! Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, shouted loudly.
Sebastian Larsson passed to Dongfang Chen, and the football flew to the position of one step in the big penalty area, which was not particularly deep, which was specially passed to Dongfang Chen.
At this time, Hargreaves, Leo Ferdinand and Evans were in the penalty area behind Dongfang Chen, and they couldn't interfere with Dongfang Chen at all.
Dongfang Chen, who rushed in, jumped up directly, chased the ball head, and smashed the football to the goal of the Manchester United team, the ball speed was still very fast, but the distance was still a little far, and the football was slightly higher than the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.
The fans of the Birmingham team at the scene immediately erupted in a burst of regret, very unhappy. And the fans of the Manchester United team breathed a sigh of relief, this Birmingham team really can't be underestimated, especially the damn Dongfang Chen, this guy's threat is really too big.
At this time, Manchester United fans couldn't help but sigh how good it would have been if the Manchester United team hadn't let Dongfang Chen go. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible.
Goalkick, Manchester United goalkick, Van der Sar kicked the ball out with a big foot, the ball flew into the Birmingham half of the field, Manchester United's centre-forward Dzeko jumped high and fought for the top.
However, this time the football was pushed out by the bald James Collins, and the football fell directly to the feet of Ji Chengyong, who directly passed the football to Dongfang Chen, and Dongfang Chen knocked the football directly with his heel, and the football immediately rolled to the feet of Sturridge, who was inserted in front.
The Birmingham team's series of coordination is very smooth, which makes the Birmingham fans on the scene excited.
Sturridge immediately volleyed on the line of the penalty area, and the ball flew off the bottom line against the outside of the goal's post, and the Birmingham fans immediately erupted in regret, while the Manchester United fans were rejoicing, but it was a little worse.
At this time, the head coach of the Lyon team was still on the sidelines, and they were anxiously watching the game on the pitch while also giving advice to the players on the pitch.
Goalball, Manchester United goalkick, Van der Sar is still a big foot, the football is out, the football flew directly to Dzeko in the front, this time Dzeko still did not fight James Collins, but James Collins pushed the football to the feet of Scholes.
Scholes passed the football directly to the wing, after Nani on the side took the ball, he immediately cut inside with the ball and shot from the corner of the big penalty area, the football was a little off, Rooney in the middle was immediately reluctant, he signaled that Nani should pass the ball, he was in a good position, it was a good opportunity.
Nani also knew that it was his fault, and he immediately raised his hand to Rooney to indicate that it was his fault, and he didn't see it.
Seeing that Nani had said this, Rooney was not sure to say anything, and he immediately turned around and stepped back.
Goalball, Birmingham team's goalball, Joe Hart directly gave the football to Dongfang Chen, Dongfang Chen stopped the ball on his chest, and then passed the football back.
The ball rolled to the feet of Kevin Boateng, who did not rush forward, but passed the ball down at the back, and the Birmingham team suddenly began to control the ball, and the Manchester United players changed their mood and then rushed out frantically to press up.
The Reds' pressing was ferocious, forcing the Birmingham players to speed up the ball, but the chances of making mistakes increased dramatically.
However, this time it was a good thing that the players of the Birmingham team did not make any mistakes.
Sebastian Larsson, who had the ball, suddenly sent a long ball and the ball flew straight to Sturridge, who stopped the ball just as it was about to go off the line.
The Manchester United players thought the ball was going to go off the line, so they didn't chase it.
However, at this time, Sturridge actually stopped the football, and the Manchester United players were shocked and immediately pounced on Sturridge.
The United players suddenly felt like they were catching shrimp, and almost all the defenders pounced on Esturić, who stopped the ball and turned inside, and ignored the defense of the other Birmingham players.
Seeing that the United defenders were all pounced on him, Sturridge was overjoyed, and he immediately pretended to continue to cut inside, and when Evans was about to pounce in front of him, he immediately passed the ball back into the middle of the box.
Suddenly, all the Manchester United fans were shocked and terrified.
"Beautiful! Nice pass! Sturridge's pass was wonderful! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, was extremely excited and shouted loudly.
On the sidelines, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson's face changed instantly, and he became a little pale.
The football rolled rapidly to the middle of the Manchester United team's penalty area, where Dongfang Chen was unmarked and dangerous.
In the frightened eyes of the Manchester United players in the field, Dongfang Chen greeted the flying football and directly kicked and shot.
"Dongfang Chen shoots!" Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, shouted excitedly.
With a bang, Dongfang Chen immediately pushed the football to the far corner of the goal.
Van der Sar, who was guarding the corner, suddenly fell to the bottom in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "It's over!" Damn it! ”
Van der Sar slammed two steps down the middle and then frantically lunged sideways, stretching his hands straight out to block. But he still didn't touch the football, and his mood instantly became extremely bad.
All the Manchester United fans in the stadium were in a very bad mood at this time. The Birmingham fans were unusually happy and excited.
Clang!
The ball slammed into the outside of the post in the far corner of the Manchester United goal, then bounced off the bottom line and slammed into the billboard behind the goal.
"Even! Almost! Goalpost! The goalpost saved Manchester United! It's a shame that the ball hit the post of the goal, what a great opportunity! Duan Xuan, the commentator of the CCTV sports channel, said very regretfully.
The fans of the Birmingham team at the scene didn't mention that they believed that this was true, Dongfang Chen didn't score the football, this is a joke, right?
All the Birmingham fans in the stadium were in a very bad mood and kept shaking their heads, it was clear that they still didn't want to believe it was true at this point.
The fans of Manchester United were unusually excited, unusually happy, and they immediately jumped up and cheered excitedly, which was no less than a goal.
On the sidelines, Alex McLeish was stunned for a while, and then sighed after being fresh, what a good opportunity, it's a pity.
The Manchester United players gasped, it was too dangerous just now, but fortunately the Birminghames themselves didn't grasp it, otherwise they would be in trouble.
Although Birmingham City had a good chance to threaten the United goal, the Reds did not slow down their attacking pace and nothing could stop them from winning the game.
The game continued, Manchester United goal, Van der Sar directly passed the football with a big foot, the football flew up rapidly, flew over most of the field, flew directly into the Birmingham team's half, and flew to the front of the penalty area.
James Collins and Dzeko immediately jumped to their feet and battled for the ball. Once again, James Collins' bald head took the upper hand, and he pushed the ball out, and the ball fell to the feet of Ji Chengyong.
Ji Chengyong immediately turned around, ready to pass the football to Dongfang Chen in front. However, at this time, Scholes rushed up and stabbed the football with a stab of his outstretched foot.
"The ball is broken! Scholes broke the ball! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, said immediately.
"Ji Chengyong was a little careless, let Scholes seize the opportunity." Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
Scholes broke the ball and sprinted towards the Birmingham penalty area, where Birmingham defender Kevin Boateng pounced.
Scholes immediately played the ball down the wing, and it rolled sharply to the feet of Ryan Giggs on the wing.
Ryan Giggs had already scored a goal and Birmingham defended very tightly against him, with Stephen Kyle immediately pounced on him and intercepted.
When Ryan Giggs saw Stephen Kyle, he immediately slammed the ball backwards, and the ball immediately rolled towards Evra, who was behind Ryan Giggs.
Patrice Evra had already provided the assist by this time, and Patrice immediately caught the attention of Stephen Kyle's defence, as Ryan Giggs had cut inside into the box.
At the same time, Patrice Evra played the ball into the Birmingham City penalty area, and the ball rolled right to the feet of Ryan Giggs who had entered the box.
The Birmingham fans immediately erupted in a scream of horror, and it was over.
Birmingham defender Ridgewell immediately pounced and came up to intercept Ryan Giggs. Ryan Giggs saw Ridgewell rushing up and he suddenly turned the ball back into the box and sent it towards the edge of the Birmingham box.
"Scholes! Scholes rushed up, dangerous! Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, exclaimed.
Scholes has a very powerful long-range shot, and now Scholes is in front of him, which is really dangerous.
James Collins of the Birmingham team immediately rushed forward. However, at the edge of the penalty area, Escols had already volleyed.
With a thud, the ball flew into the Birmingham goal like an arrow.
