Chapter 94 Continued confrontation
Kulanyi knocked the ball to Qin Tian, who made a steady gesture and calmly passed the ball back to his teammates on the defense line. Pique took two steps forward and distributed the ball to Boden next to him. Boden passed it to Rafinia on the side. Rafinia saw Hargreaves grabbing and passed the ball back to goalkeeper Neuer. The situation on the field became Schalke 04 with his feet in the backcourt, while the Red Devils players kept running with the ball. Manchester United fans were dissatisfied and booed Schalke 04 players loudly, as if they had done something extremely immoral. However, this did not work for Schalke 04 players. If the booing could determine the direction of the game, what would the players need to play football? Just buy a test volume decibel. Whoever has the loudest voice wins.
"Oh, it seems that Schalke 04's players are determined to maintain the score in the current situation. It's boring..." The commentator yawned a big yawn, and the dissatisfaction could not be concealed between his eyebrows.[]
Just when everyone thought that the last few minutes of the first half would be spent in bored downs, Schalke 04 launched his last attack in the first half!
After receiving the ball, Westman suddenly stopped hitting the ball and dribbled forward, caught Ronaldo off guard. He never expected that the opponent could counterattack under his own pressure, so he hurriedly followed.
Westman did not wait for the opponent to approach, and directly passed it to Ozil's feet in front. Ozil stopped with his chest, feeling Brown leaning behind him, suddenly lifted the ball back with his left foot, and turned sharply, avoided Brown's body and chased the ball. Schalke fans in the stands applauded Ozil's beautiful extraordinary this time, and the commentator suddenly became energetic.
After breaking through Brown, Ozil fully utilized his speed advantage, completely chasing Brown without caring about his chasing him. After going to the bottom line, he passed to Rakitic who followed the diagonally and ran to the center of the penalty area, which immediately attracted Brown to continue to follow. In the penalty area, Manchester United's defensive players also turned their attention to Ozil.
Rakitic did not send the ball to Ozil as soon as possible, but passed it to the forward in the penalty area. Kuranyi took the ball, so he had more choices. He could give it to Ozil, or he could involve defensive players and pass it back to Rakitic, and he could also give it to Jones on the other side of the penalty area.
However, Kuranyi did not choose the above three options, but forced the ball and took the ball out of the penalty area. With his foot, his body moved with the ball and instantly accelerated. Ferdinand reacted quickly and quickly followed closely, but his body still blocked Kuranyi's ball, not giving him the opportunity to break through easily or kick off.
Facing the opponent's excellent defense, Kuranyi pulled the ball inside, leaned forward, and continued to cut inward. He did pull the ball back again on his feet. Suddenly, a very obvious pick-up on his right instep, and the ball passed over Ferdinand's head and passed to the back point of the penalty area.
Neither Vidic nor Jones in the middle reached the point. Ernst at the back point headed the ball first, and the ball hit the lawn and rebounded to the net. Van derssa's position was not good. The ball hit the ground for the first time and did not dive at all. Seeing the ball bounce towards the goal made Van derssa desperate.
However, the goddess of luck favored the Manchester United again. The ball bounced too much power and hit the crossbar directly and bounced back into Van der Sar's arms.
"Lucky Van der Sar, the crossbar helped them block the Schalkes' crazy blow again. Maybe Van der Sar should consider whether to kiss the crossbar, haha," the commentator looked at Van der Sar, who had a life-long look on the line, and couldn't help but tease him.
Ernst stomped his feet in a bad mood, very unwilling to accept it, and pounded his head with his hands, as if he was blaming why he used so much power. However, when he turned around, he still gave Kulanyi a thumbs up and passed it very well!
Ferguson, off the field, rarely touched his chin with his hand. The ball just now did make his old heart jump a few times.
Manchester United fans in the stands also collectively made a marveling sound. Some fans who were too nervous did not forget to smooth their heart parts with their hands, and they had to have a big heart to watch football games.
The fourth referee on the sidelines raised the sign of 2 minutes of stoppage time.
The Manchester United guys haven't taken a breath yet. Schalke 04, who was not affected by the ball just now, made a comeback. The ball taken by Van der Sar was intercepted by Qin Tian in the midfield and distributed to Rakitic.
Rakitic took the football with the trend, and after a fancy dribbling in the midfield, he was divided into Ernst's feet on the sideline.
Ernst dribbled the ball along the side, and Hargreaves came up, but Hargreaves did not make a rash effort, but ran with Ernst. Ernst, who was wading on the ball, was not in a hurry to pass the ball, and while carrying it, he observed the situation in the penalty area. Rakitic followed and prepared to respond at any time.
Ernst suddenly stopped suddenly and raised his left foot. Hargreaves thought he was going to pass it to Rakitic, so he stepped out to block the begging. However, Ernst played a small trick, pushing the ball from his left foot to his right foot, and then pushed it back from his right foot, then pushed forward on the inside of his left foot, and the ball rolled over from Hargreaves. Ernst rushed over.
"It's Ernst again. Schalke 04 is very active on the left today. He easily passes Hargreaves, cuts inward, passes the ball..." The commentator's eyes followed Ernst's pace, fearing that he would miss any wonderful clips.
In the penalty area, Kuranyi showed his extraordinary ability. He forced Ferdinand behind him and jumped high. There was a clear swing in the air. The ball flew straight to the lower left corner of the goal. Van der Sar moved early, and his body rushed down with all his strength. Can he snatch it?
"Bang" the ball bounced on the post. Vidic's eyes were fast and his feet were fast. Seeing the ball popping out, he kicked out of the penalty area. The referee Michel did not continue to torment the Manchester United, and blew the whistle that ended in the first half.
Through the slow-motion replay of the large screen on the spot, just as the ball was about to cross the goal line, his finger! Van der Sar poked the ball with his finger, and the ball changed backward to hit the post backstage Vidic to clear the ball. The Dutch finally showed the level of a world-class goalkeeper!
In Schalke 04's locker room, Sloka praised each player, chatting like a chatterbox. It seemed that the players' performance in the first half was like a god-assisted help, and loudly encouraged everyone, just playing, playing a championship and a future.
Seeing the players being mobilized and screaming, the folds on Sloka's face were almost revealed. As for the tactics in the second half, there was no adjustment at all. They just told the players to adjust themselves in the second half as the situation on the court changed. Qin Tian mastered the rhythm and everything depended on the players himself.
In the Manchester United locker room on the other side, the atmosphere was a little silent. No one spoke except for the sound of sweat and gasping. Ferguson looked at the players around him with a serious face, and there was no feeling of excitement as Scholes had just scored a goal. The 15-minute break in the midfield passed 3 minutes in silence.
"Ahem," Ferguson spoke, "Do you think you're sure to win this game. The championship trophy is already stuffed in your pockets? Haha, the team on the opposite side is here to go through the motions? You have to be glad, you scored a goal at the end, otherwise you can pack up and go home."
Ferguson continued to stare at them, and the cold light in his eyes became even worse. Manchester United players didn't dare to take a breath. Whoever spoke was unlucky at this time, "Look at the two goals you lost, what are the defensive calls? Can you play? Will you play? Should you play? Should you play? Well?! If it weren't for only three people, I would definitely replace you all." His saliva flew and his old face turned red.
"Okay, I don't want to talk about you anymore. I just want to tell you not to let this game become your regret, a lifetime regret, don't wait until you retire, wait until you write your memoirs to tell your family, and tell your fans, I once had such a game, when I was very close to the championship trophy, because I was scared, I just lost the game. A life is very short, and the career of a professional player is even shorter, just don't regret it." Ferguson beat the tactical board, "Just like this, go to hell or go to heaven to choose by yourself!"
"Boss, we want the championship!" Ferdinand stood up first. As the captain of the team, he must stand up and express his opinion.
"Hmph! Childish", Ferguson glanced at him with contempt, "Champion? Do you blow the ball with your mouth?"
"The captain is right. We will do our best to kick the championship with our feet." Ronaldo's face turned red and his heart was inflamed. No one dared to shit on the Red Devil's head anymore.
"Damn it, fuck them to death," everyone shouted, "The champion can only be ours, **."
Ferguson said nothing, but turned around and showed a faint smile in his mouth. The players kicked open the door of the locker room and rushed into the player's passage like an angry Bull.
It just so happened that Schalke 04's player also walked out of his locker room. Seeing the murderous Manchester United man opposite, Qin Tian frowned tightly.
"Jones, what's wrong with this opposite?" Ozil was a little curious.
"What else can happen? Old Man Fo got angry? Oh, no, the hair dryer was blowing up." Jones didn't take it seriously at all.
"Hahaha", other players also smiled in a group of grinding hands.
Qin Tian felt even worse, and he grabbed Neuer behind him, "I'll be careful on the defense line in the second half, and the opponent will go crazy."
Neuer nodded heavily when he looked at the Manchester United player running out of the tunnel.
The second half started on time, and the two sides did not warm up, and they started to do it with real guns. After Manchester United's exhausted attack, Schalke 04 was promoted layer by layer. The pace of both sides was quite fast. The commentator was often immersed in the previous section of the attack on one side, and the sharp counterattack on the other side began.
Chapter completed!
