Chapter 1,118 Gambling Substitutions

In order to save time, Gao Xiaodong did not stop the hand-thrown ball head-on. He turned his back to the ball and swung his tail, hooked the ball in front of himself, quickly caught up with him, pointed his forehead, and headed towards Chelsea's penalty area at high speed.

"Scorpion tail wagging!"

"There is still such an operation!"

"Awesome!"

Gao Xiaodong's acrobatic movements attracted exclamations from the fans in the audience.

Fans didn't know that Gao Xiaodong had super glasses, with an almost 360-degree viewing angle. They all thought that he was able to hit the ball over his head with superhuman touch, and they were all amazed by his skills.

Gao Xiaodong was already extremely fast, and his backhand handling of the ball bought him more time for Ashley. Cole and Benayoun were even too late to prevent him from approaching the penalty area.

Gao Xiaodong ran away quickly with the coin in his hand, catching Ashley before him. Cole and Benayoun reached the front of the right rib of the penalty area.

After receiving the "skill bonus" reward, Gao Xiaodong became more confident in his shooting skills. He did not enter the penalty area and directly took off his foot to shoot.

Cech was fully prepared for Gao Xiaodong's shot. As soon as the ball left Gao Xiaodong's instep, Cech judged that Gao Xiaodong was going to hit the lower right corner of the goal. He jumped forward and pounced on it like lightning. .

Cech's reaction and save speed are top-notch, but Gao Xiaodong's shooting power is even more abnormal. The ball is like a cannonball. Before Cech can completely fall, the ball whizzes in against the goal post. Net.

Cech fell to the ground, and the ball bounced out of the net, hit Cech's back, and then bounced back into the net.

Gao Xiaodong watched the ball hit the net, immediately ran towards the stands with his arms raised, flipped over the billboard with a front flip, and then gave a military salute to the fans.

The Manchester United fans at the scene were applauding and celebrating. Seeing Gao Xiaodong perform a beautiful somersault, their emotions became even higher. They waved their arms and screamed at Gao Xiaodong. Some even started to climb the guardrail and tried to jump down to hug Gao Xiaodong, which scared the security guard. Hurry over and stop it.

After Gao Xiaodong scored, Villas-Boas's face finally darkened. He realized the seriousness of the situation and the impact of being tied twice in the lead on his prestige.

Although this game is useless, Chelsea must not lose, otherwise Villas-Boas's coaching career will become very difficult.

Villas-Boas still has a substitution spot in his hand. This quota is also Boas's last chance to affect the game. How to adjust it? Who should be replaced? Boas fell into thought.

Ferguson was also musing.

After going through a series of training sessions in the summer, Ferguson found that Gao Xiaodong had improved again.

Like the scorpion tail swing just now, Ferguson felt that the original Gao Xiaodong couldn't be used. Today's last two shots are more accurate and domineering than before.

This kid is making great progress! There is progress every season, and I can’t even imagine the future.

Ferguson was filled with praise. Originally, he was a little dissatisfied with Gao Xiaodong's demanding high salary. He felt that Gao Xiaodong was too greedy for money and affected the team's salary structure. But now, Gao Xiaodong is worthy of his annual salary.

After admiring, Ferguson immediately faced a practical problem, that is, how to play in the following games?

Manchester United is now ahead of the score, and there are still more than 20 minutes to go. Anything can happen in a football match. If we don't respond well, it's hard to say whether Manchester United can maintain this lead.

Ferguson looked at the bench;

Just seeing Pogba's eager eyes and the fighting spirit in this kid's eyes, Ferguson felt moved in his heart and felt that he should give this kid a chance to see if he could withstand the pressure of such a championship-level game.

Ferguson was very adventurous. Although this was a Community Shield championship battle, he still called Pogba over and asked him to warm up and prepare to play.

Pogba had been waiting for this opportunity for almost 70 minutes. After Ferguson finished speaking, he was so excited that he rushed to the track and started running.

Five minutes later, Chelsea got a corner kick opportunity. Ferguson took the opportunity to replace Carrick and replace Pogba, using Pogba's height to strengthen the high ball defense in the penalty area.

When a newcomer like Pogba was replaced, there was little applause and more confusion. Fans thought that in such a game and at such a moment, it was a bit risky to send an 18-year-old kid.

But Ferguson's fame, status and prestige are unmatched in the football circle. Although the fans are confused, they don't dare to question easily. They all feel that since Ferguson dares to use him at this time, he must have his reasons. Maybe this is a surprise player.

Pogba lived up to Ferguson's expectations. When he touched the ball for the first time, he used his height to help Manchester United deflect Lampard's corner kick in the penalty area.

Gao Xiaodong was also very interesting. He ran over and touched Pogba's head to express his appreciation for him.

Chelsea took another corner kick and the ball was pushed out by Vidic. Mikel shot a long shot from outside the penalty area and the ball flew high into the stands.

De Gea took a goal kick, and he was about to take a big kick, but Gao Xiaodong pointed at him and motioned for him to pass the ball to the full-back.

De Gea respected Gao Xiaodong and quickly passed the ball to full-back Evra.

Evra saw Gao Xiaodong's gestures and understood what he meant. He was preparing to control the rhythm and consume time.

This was the same as Evra's idea. Evra took the ball and controlled it. He waited for Chelsea players to pounce before passing the ball to central defender Ferdinand.

Ferdinand passed to Rafael on the other side, and Rafael passed to Fletcher. Manchester United fell back in the backcourt.

Chelsea could not accept such a score. They quickly pressed forward and pressed high to prevent Manchester United from easily defeating them.

Manchester United is not a technically sophisticated team. They were forced by Chelsea and soon fell down. The ball was passed back to De Gea. Under Torres' pressure, De Gea kicked it wide.

The ball was taken by Terry, who made a long pass to Drogba. Drogba used his strong body to lean on Pogba, trying to force a turn.

Pogba was as thin as a bamboo pole. He couldn't carry Drogba, so he could only reach out and grab Drogba tightly to prevent him from moving forward.

Drogba dragged Pogba forward two steps, and Ferdinand rushed over and kicked him out.

However, the referee's whistle also sounded at this time, and Atkinson took out a yellow card to warn Pogba, giving Chelsea a chance to set the ball.

Although Pogba failed to guard Drogba, he did not give Drogba a chance to shoot or break through. It was considered satisfactory and he also won the applause of Manchester United fans.

When Chelsea was about to take a free kick, Villas-Boas made the last substitution adjustment, which was also a crazy adjustment. Anelka came on and replaced midfielder Mikel.

Replacing a striker and a defensive midfielder, Villas-Boas's crazy substitutions made Chelsea fans anxious. They didn't know what Boas's gamble would bring in the face of the powerful Manchester United.
