Chapter 37
Chen Huan looked back before receiving the ball and noticed that the West Brom striker was pressing towards him.
Chen Huan tried to stop the ball to the right with his right foot, but when his right foot touched the ball, he suddenly exerted force and changed his move to the left.
The West Brom striker Berahino who rushed up to try to steal the ball was suddenly missed, and Chen Huan also turned around and looked up to observe.
"Wow——"
At Old Trafford, Manchester United fans responded to Chen Huan's wonderful performance with a hundred times more enthusiasm.
When those cheers poured into Chen Huan's ears, he only felt that his heart beat faster and his blood became hotter.
"Chen!"
Di Maria raised his hand to ask for the ball on the left side, and Chen Huan immediately pushed the ball before the opponent's midfielder blocked the passing line.
Manchester United's new No. 7 stopped the ball in front of him with his left foot. West Brom's No. 17 player Dorrance had already rushed over. Di Maria gently pushed the ball with his left leg and pretended to pass it to the middle.
Dorrance immediately stretched out his toes to block, but Di Maria's move was a fake. At the moment Dorrance kicked out, Di Maria pushed the ball forward and quickly moved forward along the side.
In front of Chen Huan, Manchester United's No. 8 player and No. 21 player Herrera started at the same time, advancing to the left and right of West Bromwich Albion's half.
Di Maria was blocked by West Bromwich Albion's full-back Wisdom on the wing. The Argentine superstar observed the situation in West Bromwich Albion
's penalty area and raised his foot to cross the ball. The ball drew an arc in the air and fell into West Bromwich Albion's penalty area. Manchester United striker Van Persie jumped high and headed the ball.
West Bromwich Albion's goalkeeper Myhill also jumped with him. The goalkeeper stretched out his arms and confiscated the ball before Van Persie's head hit the ball.
"Quick, hurry up and press forward!"
Myhill hugged the ball and rushed forward, while roaring loudly to his teammates.
The players of West Bromwich Albion, especially the offensive players, started quickly and sprinted towards Manchester United's half like cheetahs on the grassland.
"They are going to make a long pass behind us!"
With the help of the Hawkeye system, Chen Huan immediately determined Myhill's intention. He half turned his body and rushed towards West Bromwich Albion center forward Berahino.
Although Berahino is only 178 cm tall, he is already the tallest of West Bromwich Albion's frontcourt attackers.
West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Myhill really kicked the ball to Manchester United's half, and Berahino landed on it.
Although Chen Huan reacted quickly, Berahino was closer to the landing point of the football. Chen Huan immediately gave up competing with him for the landing point of the football, and instead pressed towards his side.
Berahino stopped the ball with his chest, raised his foot and was about to lead the ball and turn around, facing the Manchester United goal. But before his main foot touched the football, his side was suddenly held by Chen Huan.
"Get out of the way!"
Berahino pushed forward with all his might.
But the next moment, Chen Huan's legs suddenly stretched forward and hooked the ball from Berahino's control.
After Chen Huan grabbed the ball, he did not dribble it. As if he had eyes behind his head, he pushed the ball to the front court.
The withdrawn Manchester United midfielder Mata passed the ball directly back to Chen Huan without stopping.
The latter took the ball and looked up to observe the situation in the front court.
Before Chen Huan received the ball, Van Persie had already caught the large gap between the two central defenders of West Bromwich Albion and immediately told the forward area to move forward.
"Opportunity!"
Chen Huan also noticed the gap.
He pushed the ball in front of him, and the next moment his supporting foot stepped firmly on the left side of the football. His body was highly twisted under the drive of his core.
Crescent Moon Scimitar!
"Bang!"
The football whistled, and like a cannonball, it drew a beautiful arc at high speed in the air, falling into the gap between the two central defenders of West Bromwich Albion, which was also the position where the Dutch superstar Van Persie advanced.
"Oops!"
The two central defenders of West Bromwich Albion realized their mistake at the same time. They immediately rushed over from both sides, trying to block Van Persie with a double ghost shot.
At the same time, the face of goalkeeper Myhill also changed suddenly. The latter left the goal and ran straight to the edge of the penalty area, while spreading his arms to expand the defensive area.
Van Persie looked up at the football that was landing in a very good position for him, and no longer hesitated.
Van Persie's body jumped high forward and hit it hard.
The next moment, the two central defenders of West Bromwich Albion crashed into him.
Van Persie's body was knocked to the ground, but at this moment he was looking at the football, and everyone else on the field was also looking at the football, and the audience in the stadium were all looking at the football. The football jumped high, passed over Myhill's head and fell quickly, and then rolled into the net.
"Wow——"
At Old Trafford, tens of thousands of Manchester United fans who came to cheer for their team stood up and cheered in unison.
Van Persie got up from the ground, rushed to the corner area, and then completed a beautiful slide.
……
The commentator's roar reached the ears of the Dragon Country fans through the TV speakers.
"Long pass!"
"Diving to the top! The ball goes in!"
"15 minutes into the game, Van Persie received a long pass from Chen Huan and headed the ball without stopping at the edge of the penalty area. The ball crossed the goal line and Manchester United took the lead one to zero!"
"Oh my god."
In front of the TV, the head coach of the Dragon National Team, the legendary Italian coach Lisson Ollie, stood up and watched the replay on the TV in disbelief.
""Boss, what's wrong?"
The assistant was a little puzzled.
Lison Oli looked at the assistant and said in surprise:"I thought it would be difficult for the Dragon Country Team to qualify for the next World Cup, but now I have some confidence. God, I hope Chen can stay healthy and maintain his competitive form!"
……
Old Trafford, bench.
When the ball crossed the goal line, Van Gaal could not help but stand up from his bench and punched hard. Then he pointed at Chen Huan and shouted,"Chen, well done, that's how you should play."
In the Manchester United half, Chen Huan did not run over to celebrate the goal with Van Persie. It was not because he was unhappy, but because...
Chen Huan turned around and looked at the two Manchester United central defenders Rojo and Phil Jones who were hugging each other.
He was not very confident about the two central defenders because the 4141"magic formation" arranged by Van Gaal left too much space in the ribs.
……
In the 30th minute of the first half, West Bromwich Albion's No. 8 midfielder Craig Gardner intercepted Herrera's pass and West Bromwich Albion immediately launched a counterattack.
Craig Gardner made a long pass to Dorrance who was pulled to the wing. West Bromwich Albion's No. 17 player stopped the ball steadily and looked towards the middle.
"Rojo!"
Chen Huan yelled, pointed at Berahino, and then rushed towards West Brom striker Sessegnon who was coming forward.
