Chapter 56
Rooney did not choose to pass the ball. He dribbled the ball into the penalty area again and then shot it.
Demichelis flew over and blocked the ball out of bounds.
Rooney was a little frustrated. He raised his hand and gave Chen Huan a thumbs up.
……
"Rooney's choice was a bit reckless. In fact, when he held the ball in front of the penalty area, it would have been a better choice to look for Van Persie in the penalty area or Chen Huan who was advancing."Xiao Zhan looked at the end of Manchester United's attack, which was anticlimactic, and couldn't help but sighed.
Coach Zhang also sighed and said,"Yes, Chen Huan's penetrating pass was wasted. Okay, now Di Maria will take the corner kick on the left."
……
Di Maria put the ball in the corner and looked up at the situation in the penalty area. Several high players of Manchester United entered the penalty area, ready to go.
"beep——"
The referee blew the whistle.
Di Maria glanced at Chen Huan, who was adjusting his body posture with small steps, and then sent a high and fast arc ball.
The ball passed the front point player and went straight to the back point.
Chen Huan, who was ambushing at the back point, gathered his strength and jumped up, jumping high, and swung his head towards the landing point of the ball.
""Bang!"
It hit the target!
The football bounced and fell into the goal of Manchester City.
"Good opportunity!"
Chen Huan stared at the landing point of the football, and Joe Hart had no time to adjust his body posture.
But the next moment, a blue figure rushed over from the side, and he tilted his body and tried hard to clear the ball.
Kompany!
The football fell outside the Manchester City penalty area. Manchester City midfielder Fernando received the ball and immediately passed it to Jovetic, one of the two forwards.
""Hurry back to defense!"
Chen Huan adjusted his body posture immediately after landing, and sprinted towards his own penalty area with all his strength.
Several Manchester United players started at the same time as him.
Jovetic took the ball and turned around. At this moment, the two players behind Manchester United were Blind and Antonio Valencia.
Also participating in the counterattack in Manchester United's half was Aguero who sprinted quickly to the left.
Two against two, the two defensive players of Manchester United did not dare to rush up and could only retreat all the way to their own penalty area.
Before approaching the Manchester United penalty area, Jovetic made a high pass to Aguero who had left space.
The Argentine striker glanced in the direction of the Manchester United goal and quickly adjusted his body posture, intending to shoot directly without stopping the ball.
"Oops!"
The faces of Manchester United players changed.
Aguero's shooting skills are already superb, and now he receives the ball and shoots in an open position!
Isn't this a sure thing?
In the stands of Old Trafford, many Manchester United fans closed their eyes.
They didn't want to see the team they supported being scored by their city rivals again!
Aguero locked his supporting foot, raised his right foot and shot hard!
But at this moment, a pair of long legs hooked over from behind him. It was Chen Huan!
Regardless of the risk of injury, Chen Huan used the advantage of his long legs in a difficult posture to clear the ball directly out of the sideline before Aguero touched the ball.
"Chen! It's Chen!"
"He rushed from the Manchester City penalty area and cleared the ball out of the sideline before Aguero shot."
"Oh my god, I really want to see the technical statistics just now, how fast Chen ran."
The Manchester United players on the field finally put down their hearts.
If Manchester City scored another goal at this moment, they really didn't know what to do.
Aguero turned around in surprise and looked at Chen Huan who fell to the ground after clearing the ball.
"I didn't expect you to chase back so quickly."
Chen Huan got up from the ground, turned around and loudly instructed his teammates to get into position to defend against Manchester City's sideline kick, ignoring Aguero's words.
"Humph, arrogant boy."Aguero sneered and said sarcastically:"Do you look like you want to win? But you can't win. I like what you said before the game. The sky in Manchester has only one color, and it must be blue."
Manchester City's No. 15 player Jesus held the ball outside the sideline and threw it in the direction of Yaya Toure.
Aguero started and ran to the side, raising his hand to ask.
Yaya Toure made a high pass in front of Aguero, but the pass was a little low.
Chen Huan jumped high and headed the ball in front of him.
Jesus and Yaya Toure immediately started and rushed towards Chen Huan.
They wanted to take advantage of Chen Huan's isolation and helplessness to steal the ball again and immediately organize a counterattack.
Chen Huan did not panic in the face of the two Manchester City players pressing from different directions. He glanced at Jesus' pace and used his toes to pass the ball to Jesus' crotch without stopping the ball. The football passed from Jesus. 's crotch, and before he could come to his senses, Chen Huan had already accelerated and passed him.
Crotch-grabbing!
Yaya Toure immediately threw his body out and shoveled towards Chen Huan's feet with his toes.
Chen Huan was directly tackled to the ground by the opponent, and the two rolled out of the court with the ball.
The referee on duty immediately blew the whistle and showed a yellow card to Yaya Toure.
A free kick opportunity.
After Chen Huan was pulled up by Di Maria and wiped the grass off his face, he was observing the situation in the backcourt of Manchester City.
This is a free kick opportunity, he can choose to kick quickly or slowly.
Chen Huan's eyes slightly matched with center forward Van Persie.
Van Persie pretended to move to the back point of Manchester City as if taking a walk.
"beep——"
The referee blew the whistle.
But at this moment, most of the players from both teams were still walking slowly towards their positions. They all thought that Chen Huan would take a slow free kick.
But at this moment, Chen Huan's figure had already started.
He took small steps to adjust his pace and immediately launched the crescent moon scimitar.
He rubbed the inner arch of his foot hard on the inside of the football, and with a sharp muffled sound, the football flew into the sky.
The ball drew a line in the air."C"The ball flew from the left sideline straight to the right bottom line of Manchester City.
The speed of the ball was so fast that it was almost impossible to react.
Joe Hart turned his head and looked at the back of the penalty area.
""Van Persie!" he yelled, adjusting his pace to predict the ball's path and moving towards the back point.
Manchester City's full-back Clichy reacted quickly, grabbing Van Persie's jersey from behind and jumping up to compete for the ball's landing point.
But the ball landed right in front of Van Persie.
The Dutch superstar did not choose to dive, but suddenly broke free from Clichy's hand and headed towards the ball's landing point.
……
At Old Trafford,
30,000 fans watching the game held their breath and stood up.
"Go! Go! Go!"
……
Sky Sports live.
Yorke Dwight and Joe Corrigan also stood up
"Van Persie received Chen Chao's long-range scimitar and headed the ball directly into the goal!"
York Dwight's roaring voice was still shaking.
