Chapter 177 Another Injury
At the end of the intermission, players from both sides returned to the court.
After being encouraged by Ten Hag and Ronaldo in the locker room, the Manchester United players seemed to be promoted to boost morale, and all of them were high-spirited.
But the outcome of a football game is not a contest of morale.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Manchester City got a set kick near the touchline above the penalty area on the right.
The little spider Alvarez did not pass directly into the penalty area, but pocketed the ball to the outside of the penalty area.
Casemiro, who was guarding this area, made a misjudgment. He immediately judged that the ball landed in the penalty area, so he retreated to defend, but the ball in the air just circled over the penalty area, and then landed outside the penalty area Unguarded De Bruyne here.
De Bruyne stretched his bow and set his arrows, facing the ball was a volley!
The ball didn't completely hit the target, and the speed was not fast. The ball bounced on the ground, passed through the waist of the defender in the penalty area, and then bounced towards the goal.
Henderson's first reaction was quick, and he made a save immediately. He touched the ball with his palm, but failed to stop the bouncing ball from entering the net.
De Bruyne hit both sides and scored twice!
Manchester City 2 to 1 Manchester United!
After scoring, De Bruyne was surrounded by his teammates, excitedly celebrating the goal.
The Manchester City fans in the stands also burst into enthusiastic cheers.
When the cheers on the field are not for you, it can sound very harsh to you.
Ronaldo and Varane clapped their hands and shouted loudly to encourage their teammates, telling them to calm down and not be burdened.
In the 49th minute of the game, Rashford cut in from the right and crossed the center. B Fei received the ball and shot directly from a long distance, slightly wide of the post.
In the 53rd minute of the game, Manchester United came again. Lin Lingqi took the ball in the frontcourt, and made a two-for-one cooperation with De Jong to get past the b-seat. After taking two steps forward, he sent a kick to the ground Diagonal pass.
The ball passed through the gap between Walker and Stones' defenses and came to Ronaldo's feet.
Lin Lingqi went straight into the penalty area to help his teammates attract defensive players.
Cristiano Ronaldo caught the ball with his back, made a false right and real left turn, turned his body to face the goal, glanced outside the penalty area, and shot angrily!
At the moment of shooting, Rogo saw Rashford who suddenly advanced on the right side, which made him change his mind and turned the shot into a pass.
But this kind of sudden change of movement is very difficult and requires strong physical coordination. Even the young Luo Ge is not very outstanding in this aspect, let alone he is 39 years old.
The shot turned into a pass, and the pass was much stronger.
If it is lighter, this ball is a very good opportunity.
But unfortunately there is no if, Rashford gritted his teeth and could only get the ball on the edge of the baseline.
In order not to delay the timing of the attack, Rashford could only buckle in and forcefully push and hit the goal when the shooting angle was hardly visible.
Sir Alex also knows that the success rate of scoring in an arc is very low, so it is better to make a miracle directly and win a two-point kick.
Ederson lunged forward and blocked the ball midway.
Ronaldo and fellow countryman Ruben Dias pulled and ran towards the ball. Before the ball touched it, the two hugged each other and fell to the ground.
Dias is 27 years old, he is already a mature man, he understands the ways of the world, and he knows that when he falls with his elder brother, he should act as a pad for his elder brother.
And the big brother Ronaldo doesn't talk about martial arts anymore, he doesn't even look at Dias, he breaks away from his arms, supports his body with his hands, and directly hits the door with a kick!
As soon as Edson climbed down from the ground, he quickly sat on the ground and sucked up the soil, and his limbs instantly opened to increase the defensive area.
The ball brushed past his soles and rolled towards the goal!
At this moment, everyone in the frontcourt seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and they all stayed in place, only their eyes moved with the rolling of the ball.
There was a loud bang.
The crisp sound sounded like the play button was pressed, and several nearby players all rushed towards the ball that bounced off the post.
After some people turned their backs, the referee blew his whistle and called Manchester United for a foul.
Lin Lingqi, who fell to the ground in the scramble, quickly stood up and protested loudly to the referee.
He actually doesn't know who committed the foul, but at this time you have to pretend to be reasonable even if you are unreasonable, so that the referee will consider this penalty when making the next penalty, and will be more inclined to your side.
Lin Lingqi chattered with the referee, complaining like a repeater that the opponent fouled and it was time to award a penalty.
The chief referee was annoyed by what he said, so he gave him a verbal warning, but Lin Lingqi persisted, and continued to give the referee the impression that he made a mistake in the penalty this time.
The referee stopped and touched his pocket with his little hand.
Lin Lingqi shrank her head, shut her mouth obediently and ran away without looking back.
The referee thought for a while, but still didn't take out the cards, and blew his whistle to signal Manchester City to kick off.
This is the potential benefit of having a good image at ordinary times. Lin Lingqi is basically an honest person on the court, and rarely cheats for fouls. The referee will also check the player's information before enforcing the law, and he will trust Lin Lingqi's honesty on the court. player of.
The game continued, but once again a situation that was very unfavorable to Manchester United occurred on the field.
Rashford sat on the ground without confrontation, with tears in his eyes.
Ten Hag on the sidelines frowned even tighter, but he still hadn't forgotten his responsibilities as a head coach. He looked at the substitute players on the bench, hesitated for a moment, and called Anthony, who was just injured yesterday, to warm up quickly.
The Manchester United team doctor came in to help Rashford deal with it. After helping him to stand up, Sir Alex stepped on the ground a few times and shook his head in frustration.
There is no way to persist, Manchester United must substitute.
Two consecutive unexpected substitutions completely disrupted Ten Hag's tactical deployment.
Because the number of substitutions has been used twice, if you want to fully use the five substitutions, the next substitution must directly replace three people in one go.
The teammates nearby gave Rashford high-fives one after another to comfort him, and every professional player would be very sad if he ended up like this.
Although Lin Lingqi feels that Rashford is very different from him in terms of aesthetics, and the girlfriend he found recently is to the extent that he would have nightmares, but the relationship between the two of them is very good. The group with the best relationship outside of Ganacho.
"Don't worry, brother, we will win." Lin Lingqi and Rashford clapped their hands together, and said something that seemed to be said to him, but also seemed to be said to himself.
"Come on." Rashford smiled reluctantly. His injury should not be serious, and his expression was a little painful.
The game continued, because Manchester City took the initiative to kick the ball out of bounds and interrupted the game. After the game resumed, Malaysia kicked the ball back to Manchester City and returned the ball to the opponent, abiding by sportsmanship.
In the 62nd minute of the game, De Jong grabbed the ball in the second penalty kick, turned around and shot forward.
The ball was rubbed by Rodri's outstretched leg in mid-air, turning from a half-air ball into a high-altitude ball.
Ronaldo took off in Manchester City's half, shook his head to the right, and Lin Lingqi rushed up to meet the ball and directly passed it vigorously.
The ball penetrated the entire defense of Manchester City!
Anthony, who came off the bench not long ago, advanced at high speed and faced Edson with a single goal!
"Perfect through! Lin Lingqi's wonderful pass!
One shot!
Anthony!
shoot! !
Hug by Edson!
ah? !Even if you don't score a single-handed ball, you won't be hugged by the goalkeeper directly!
The ball was so weak, Anthony! ...
Come back, my Rashford, my proudest belief, bursting out vividly, tears flowing inexplicably..."
