Chapter 1,117 Excellent Opportunity
The ball went in?
Scored a goal? !
The fans and players at the scene were all shocked. This was a corner kick. There was no shooting angle, but it actually went in!
"nice shot!"
"pretty!"
"Amazing!"
"Gao Xiaodong! Gao Xiaodong!"
…
After a moment of daze, Manchester United fans began to applaud, cheer and jump for joy.
"Asshole! How could this be possible!" Cech yelled angrily. He hated Gao Xiaodong's unforeseen and irrational shooting behavior and had a huge headache because it brought great trouble to his save.
Chelsea coach Villas-Boas looked up to the sky and sighed, how could he encounter the monster Gao Xiaodong? Although the current situation is still evenly matched, what Villas-Boas wants is not just a Community Shield championship. He still passed a clean and tidy victory. He wanted to prove himself through victory, but now Gao Xiaodong made an own goal and scored directly from the corner kick. Boas's plan was disrupted by him alone. How could Boas not be angry.
At this time, it was actually very difficult to win a good battle, but Villas-Boas was too eager to prove himself. He did not slow down the offensive and avoid Manchester United's edge, but allowed the team to continue to attack Manchester United.
Ferguson was not too excited. After a year of getting along with Gao Xiaodong, any amazing work by Gao Xiaodong was normal to Ferguson.
But Gary the narrator. But Neville seemed to have discovered a new world, and exclaimed: "Beautiful! Xiaodong's goal is really amazing! Goalkeepers like Cech have been deceived by him! This is a double crushing of football skills and IQ! Keep Gao Xiaodong This is the most important thing for Manchester United to do this summer. With Xiaodong here, Manchester United can guarantee a league championship this season..."
In the VIP box, Abramovich was also there. He saw Gao Xiaodong score directly from a corner kick, and then looked at the furious Villas-Boas on the sidelines. He was worried, wondering whether Chelsea, with a new coach, could overcome the hurdle of Manchester United.
After Manchester United celebrated, Chelsea kicked off in the center circle and the game continued.
Chelsea still maintained their original offensive, looking for opportunities to score the third goal. After Manchester United equalized the score, their morale was greatly boosted, and they did not flinch from confronting Chelsea.
Manchester United had high morale and confidence. They dared to make moves and cooperate. They quickly gained the upper hand in the competition and threatened Chelsea's goal many times.
In the 60th minute, Gao Xiaodong took a free kick from 40 meters away. Ferdinand shook off the marker and flew with his right foot from the edge of the penalty area. Cech was powerless to deal with the shot, but Ferdinand hit the ball on the side netting.
The side net shook. The Manchester United fans thought the ball had been scored and they all jumped up and cheered. When they saw that the players did not celebrate and the referee did not allow the kick-off from the center circle, they sat down again with regret.
Five minutes later, Rooney, Gao Xiaodong and Carrick cooperated continuously. Gao Xiaodong dribbled the ball into the left side of the penalty area. However, two Chelsea players and goalkeeper Petr Cech blocked it. Gao Xiaodong had no choice but to pass the ball back to Rooney. .
Rooney faced a mostly empty goal and pushed the ball, but the ball was blocked by Chelsea captain John Terry and was blocked from the bottom line.
Just now, Ferdinand hit the ball on the side netting, and there was a sound of regret in the stands, but now Rooney's shot was blocked by Terry, which attracted boos from many fans, many of whom were Manchester United fans.
In the eyes of Manchester United fans, Ferdinand is a defender and his footwork is almost useless, but Rooney is a forward. Most of the goal is empty, but his shot is blocked by the defender.
How can fans be satisfied.
Chelsea didn't have no chance at all. After Rooney shot, Mikel quickly launched an attack with a long pass. Torres passed the ball back to Lampard with his chest. Lampard took a few steps and shot directly.
Lampard is also a good long-range shooter. This shot was powerful and heavy, and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal. Torres saw Lampard shooting and quickly inserted into the penalty area to prepare for a follow-up shot. As long as De Gea let go, the consequences would be very serious. .
De Gea didn't panic this time. When Lampard shot, he was well prepared, fell to the ground and saved the ball from the baseline.
De Gea's goal won applause from Manchester United fans.
After experiencing a nightmare first half, Manchester United fans were worried that De Gea would collapse. Now judging from this save, De Gea not only did not collapse, but may have adjusted.
Around the 65th minute, it was time for substitutions. Ferguson and Villas-Boas saw that the team was unable to attack for a long time, so they almost made substitution adjustments in unison.
Villas-Boas replaced veteran Drogba and new aid Benayoun at the same time, replacing the almost invisible Kalou and midfielder Ramires.
The intention of Villas-Boas' substitution is obvious, which is to strengthen the offense and also examine new players. After all, this is just a Community Shield.
Ferguson's substitutions were very thoughtful. He replaced Hernandez with Giggs and pushed Gao Xiaodong to the front line.
The fans didn't quite understand this substitution, and they didn't know why Gao Xiaodong, who was both offensive and defensive, was pushed to the front line.
Commentator Gary Neville is a disciple of Ferguson. He is very clear about Ferguson's intentions. Gao Xiaodong showed good shooting form today, and Manchester United had two good shooting opportunities but failed to score. Ferguson hopes to push Gao Xiaodong up the front. Gao Xiaodong gets more shooting opportunities.
Villas-Boas put Drogba and Anelka on the bench. Drogba was unhappy. Seeing that the game could not start, he substituted himself. Drogba played very hard and wanted to play. The face of new coach Villas-Boas proves that he is not old yet and is still the best center in the world.
Chelsea took a corner kick, and Drogba used his body advantage to beat Ferdinand to header.
Although Ferdinand did not hold Drogba, he also gave Drogba a huge interference. Drogba did not have much power on the ball, but De Gea jumped up high and hugged the ball with both hands.
After De Gea made two consecutive saves, his confidence greatly increased. He quickly rushed to the side of the penalty area and ran two steps, and threw the ball vigorously to Gao Xiaodong who was standing on the outside waiting for a counterattack.
It has to be said that Chelsea did not think highly of De Gea. When De Gea threw the ball to start a fast break, no one around him interfered with him, allowing De Gea to easily throw the ball in front of Gao Xiaodong.
Because of his short stature and the need to counterattack, Gao Xiaodong did not defend in the penalty area. He did not expect that there would be such a quick counterattack opportunity.
This is definitely an excellent opportunity. Chelsea's two central defenders Terry and Alex went to the penalty area to fight for the top, leaving Ashley behind. Cole and Benayoun were on guard. In the huge backcourt space, as long as Gao Xiaodong could get rid of them, he would have a chance to shoot against the goalkeeper.
The Manchester United fans in the stands also noticed the opportunity. They stood up and looked at Gao Xiaodong with wide eyes, hoping that Gao Xiaodong could dribble the ball and go all the way to Huanglong.
Chelsea fans panicked and stood up and shouted toward the court, "Stop him! Foul! Stop Gao Xiaodong! Don't let him dribble..."
Boas was even more anxious than the fans. While running with Gao Xiaodong on the sidelines, he yelled at Benayoun and Ashley Cole: "tactical foul, tactical foul!"
