Chapter 346: Unexpected Mutation

When Boruc saved Salah's shot, all the home fans were extremely excited!

They defended Manchester United's attack, the next step is to counterattack, and the next step is to score! There will definitely be Southampton in the European arena next season!

But when all the fans were excited, suddenly the goal kick rushed out of a player and went straight to the ball!

It's Van Persie!

At the moment when Boruc made a save just now, Van Persie, relying on his keen sense of smell, had already prepared in advance, moving his position from the center of the penalty area to the back point of the goal. The moment Boruc saved the ball, Van Persie started instantly! He rushed straight in the direction of the ball!

At this time, everyone in the penalty area did not react, only Southampton's central defender Lovren stood beside Van Persie. He found that Van Persie had rushed out, and it was too late to block it, and Boruc fell to the ground at this time, unable to stop Van Persie's next shot. At this moment Lovren didn't think much, there was only one thing he could do...

"Salah's long-range shot! Boruc made it!"

"Van Persie went forward quickly and there was only one empty goal in front of him... He fell!! Lovren! It was Lovren from Southampton who pulled him down behind Van Persie! This foul is too obvious!"

"The referee stopped the game, he ran over and showed Lovren a red card! Lovren was sent off!"

"Not only that, the referee pointed to the penalty spot! It's a penalty!"

"With five minutes left in the game, Manchester United got a very precious penalty! This goal is the one that determines the championship this season!"

"The Southampton players surrounded the referee, complained to him, and wanted him to take back the penalty, but this is absolutely impossible. The Manchester United players are like a holiday, as if the victory of this game has already been obtained. gone."

At this time, the fans of both sides in the stands showed a polarized appearance. One side was ashamed, while the other was elated. Two completely different emotions filled the entire St. Mary's Stadium.

Pochettino stood still on the sidelines. He knew in his heart that no matter from which angle or aspect, Lovren's ball just now was a penalty. He was sure, and the only thing he can do now is to pray. Pray that Boruc can create a miracle and save this penalty.

In front of the coaching bench of the visiting team, everyone waved their fists excitedly, and they seemed to see the dawn of victory.

Phelan said loudly happily: "The game is stable,

We win! "

Scholes could hardly hide the smile on his face.

But Jin Taige was very nervous inside. He knew very well that if the penalty was not scored and the game was not over, everything was still possible. He was watching the situation closely on the sidelines, when he saw Ryan Giggs and Van Persie talking.

Ryan Giggs pulled up Van Persie who fell to the ground: "Robin, how are you?"

Van Persie moved his ankle: "There is no problem, I was just pulled down just now, and there is no injury."

"That's good," Giggs nodded, then handed the ball to Van Persie, "You will take the penalty."

Van Persie has always been the team's first penalty shooter, but today he shook his head: "Captain, you take the penalty. This may be your last chance to score in Manchester United, or..."

Hearing Van Persie's words, Giggs was not only not happy, but said with a serious face: "Robin, you can't do this. You are the team's first penalty shooter, and your penalty hit rate is the highest in training. Yes, now the team needs a goal, you must take this responsibility! Come on and score this goal, we will go home with the championship trophy in a while!"

Looking at Giggs' firm eyes, Van Persie held the ball tightly in his hands.

The chaotic situation on the field lasted for more than a minute before the referee separated the players from both sides. He signaled that the penalty kick should be taken immediately without further delay.

At this time, the game has gone on for 86 minutes, and even with injury time, it is only ten minutes. Van Persie put the ball on the penalty spot, he stood up, then bent down to straighten the ball, and then straightened up again.

At this time, Boruc, who was facing him, had already taken his position. When he saw Van Persie's move, he suddenly had expectations in his heart. Judging from his continuous movements of placing the ball, Van Persie was a little nervous. Maybe his shot would fly away later, or he might be caught by himself. So Boruc stared at Van Persie on the goal line, watching his next move.

At this time, all the players on both sides exited the penalty area, nervously observing the situation of the penalty kick. The Manchester United players are waiting on the penalty area line. Once the penalty kick is accidental, they will rush into the penalty area at the fastest speed and make a supplementary shot; while the Southampton players just stay outside the penalty area and do a good job of the second point Preparations for relief.

In Southampton's formation, Prowse and Gallagher were replaced in the second half, but they came near the center circle and did not participate in the defense.

Because a minute ago, Pochettino called the two of them to the front and told them that when the penalty kick was taken, they were ready to counterattack in the frontcourt. Once the penalty kick is saved, they will fight back immediately and try to score a goal for Manchester United!

Pochettino's instructions were also passed on to goalkeeper Boruc. Boruc was a little moved and looked at Pochettino on the sidelines: I didn't expect the coach to trust me so much. He must have thought that he would have a great chance to save a penalty, so he made such an arrangement.

But Pochettino is very bitter now, how can he be sure to prevent this penalty? It's just that he has no other way, only with this arrangement, it will be possible to score the leading goal in a while; otherwise, even if Boruc saves a penalty kick and prevents the goal, then the tie score cannot guarantee his goal The team qualified for the Europa League.

At this time Van Persie was standing in front of the ball, feeling extremely emotional and a little nervous in his heart.

Last season, Van Persie scored 26 goals and won the Premier League's Golden Boot. As of this season, he has scored 31 league goals, three goals ahead of the second Suarez , Although he doesn't know the situation of Liverpool in another stadium, it is very difficult for Suarez to score four goals in a game. Being able to win the Golden Boot for three consecutive years in the Premier League, Van Persie has truly entered the history of the Premier League.

And what he needs to do now is to score this goal and help Manchester United win the Premier League trophy this season!

Van Persie took a deep breath, he looked at Boruc in front of him, looked at Southampton's goal, his eyes were like a torch!
