Chapter 265: Repression and Redemption
Now that the game has progressed to 88 minutes, De Bruyne raised his head and looked at the sky. There is no wind today and the air is slightly cool. In this game, he scored a goal to help the team lead the score, but he did not expect Manchester City to equalize the score again, destroying his chances of becoming a hero.
He looked at the crowded crowd in the penalty area, recalled the usual running positions of his teammates, and the scene of free kick training during this period. In the past few days of training, Kintag asked them to increase the practice of set kicks and penalty kicks, which is to prepare for the next series of games. In addition to this League Cup final, the next Champions League game will also rely on set-piece tactics, and it is likely to encounter a penalty shootout.
De Bruyne knows very well that for the current Manchester United team, the best thing is defense. De Gea, who is in a stable state and has repeatedly made great strikes, is like Vidic and Ferdinand, who are the pinnacles of the sea, as well as excellent midfielders Kante and Nainggolan. These players are at the top level of the Premier League. Excuse me; but Manchester United's offensive line is now a bit weak. Except for Van Persie and Rooney, the remaining offensive players, including him, cannot be regarded as the top level of the Premier League and need to be tempered by the game. Therefore, they cherish the opportunity of every game very much to improve their state.
But despite this, Manchester United's offensive line performed very well in this game. Except for him scoring a goal, other players also performed their duties.
De Bruyne was thinking about things in his mind. He suddenly heard the referee's whistle, and the referee waved to him, indicating that he could take a free throw. De Bruyne looked at the penalty area and gritted his teeth secretly: I hope this is a goal that seals the victory!
De Bruyne steps back slowly, stops, takes a deep breath, then adjusts his pace and accelerates forward.
One step, two steps, three steps...
The ball is thrown out!
The ball went straight to Manchester City's penalty area, drawing a rainbow-like arc!
There was a commotion in the Manchester City penalty area, and all the players rushed forward. The Manchester United players wanted to compete for the top and the last chance to score; while the Manchester City players pulled hard and blocked the Manchester United players to prevent them from threatening their goal. Everyone's attention is on the flying ball, trying their best to get the result they want.
Rooney, who was at the front point, took off desperately, while Demichelis, who was marking him, clung to him tightly. With a slight movement of his hand, he pulled Rooney. If it is concealed, the referee will not make a penalty at all.
Vidic and Van Dijk in the middle are the highest points of Manchester United. They are like two towers, fighting for this point in the middle of the penalty area, but Manchester City players Yaya Toure, Kompany and Dzeko together The two central defenders marking Manchester United competed for five high points, and in the end no one hit the ball.
And several dexterous players of Manchester United, Salah and Mahrez are also looking for opportunities in the crowd, ready to pick up the leak at the back, but they are under the marking of Fernandinho and Zabaleta. , There is no chance of kicking at all.
Players from both sides were fighting in the penalty area, but they ignored one person...
Morris stared at the game with good eyes: "De Bruyne is going to take this free kick and see if Manchester United can create a miracle."
"The ball was passed into the penalty area!"
"Nobody hit the ball!"
"Someone stretched out a foot later!"
"The ball went in!!! The ball went in!!!"
"Let's see who it is... it's Phil Jones! He popped a kick behind the goal and put the ball in the goal!"
"Manchester City players are focusing on a few men who are a threat at Manchester United. They ignore Jones. No wonder, Jones has not scored any goals this season. They are understandable. But all of us Unexpectedly, Jones' first goal of the season actually appeared in such a critical game, such a critical moment! It's really a blockbuster!"
"United took the lead towards the end of the game,
2 to 1! Manchester United players are getting closer and closer to the League Cup championship! "
"In the last Manchester derby, Phil Jones was the sinner of Manchester United. Because of his reckless foul and red card, Manchester United was finally defeated by the rivals in the same city and lost 1 to 4! In this game, Jin Taige was very happy. Bold, he still let Phil Jones start, and the final result was that Jones lived up to expectations and scored the lore goal!"
"Actually, the game is not over yet, and Manchester City still has a chance to tie the score, but just looking at this moment, Jones is the hero of Manchester United today! His red jersey seems to be particularly dazzling! It ignited the whole Etihad at once. court!"
At this moment, Jones, who scored the goal, was close to madness. He shouted frantically, venting the depressed emotions in his heart.
Ever since that terrible 1-4 match, he had been holding a fire in his chest, which made him very depressed. He even felt that if he didn't let out this fire, he would be suppressed and die!
And after half a year of waiting and dormancy, this anger was finally released today!
He looked up to the sky and roared loudly!
The excitement of the Manchester United players is beyond words. They surrounded Jones, hugged him fiercely, rubbed his hair, and expressed their most sincere congratulations to him!
This goal is like a glimpse of oasis in the desert, which makes the Manchester United players extremely excited.
Accepting the congratulations of his teammates, Jones got out from his teammates, and he rushed all the way to Kim Tag on the sidelines of the field, not like a player who played for nearly 90 minutes.
After seeing Jones score the goal, everyone in Kintag hugged excitedly!
Scholes waved his fist fiercely. It seems that he is not a coach at this time, but still a player!
Ferran jumped up and celebrated loudly, the coat he was wearing had already been pulled off and thrown aside!
Smalling, who was sent off just now, did not care about his aching thigh. His tall figure was particularly conspicuous among the celebrating team. Aguero's goal in Manchester City just now had a direct relationship with him. If he loses this game , then I will bear a great responsibility. And Jones' goal completely relieved Smalling of the pressure! He is excited to jump higher than anyone else!
Kim Taeg stood out among the celebrating crowd. He hugged the coaching staff around him, embraced the excited substitute teammates, kept waving his fists, and smashed them into the air!
At this moment, Jones rushed over from the field and hugged Jin Taige at once.
"Boss! I scored a goal! I scored a goal!!!"
"Phil! You did a great job! You are today's hero!"
"Boss! Thank you! Thank you for giving me a redemption!" Bai Pao read the latest chapter of "Red Devil Heir Claw Machine Bookstore" for free for the first time.
