Chapter 1,137 Another Counterattack Goal

When Arsenal attacked, Rooney, who was actively defensive, had already retreated, leaving only Hernandez in front.

Hernandez was in good condition today. He kept staring at the ball in the frontcourt. When Gao Xiaodong intercepted the ball, he did not hesitate at all and went directly behind the Arsenal defender.

When Hernandez advanced, Gao Xiaodong had just intercepted the ball. Arsenal's defenders were all focused on Gao Xiaodong. When they saw Gao Xiaodong passing the ball, they realized that Hernandez had disappeared. .

Gao Xiaodong's pass was very accurate. The ball landed right between the defender and the goalkeeper. However, the ball had a certain spin, so its flight direction deviated from the center. This gave Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny a great opportunity to attack. Trouble because he is not guaranteed to get the ball before Hernandez.

The goalkeeper's biggest taboo is to go back in the middle of the attack. Szczesny gave up the attack when he was not sure, and chose to retreat to prevent Hernandez from hanging the goal.

There was no threat from the goalkeeper in front of him, and the defender was left far behind. Hernandez easily stopped the ball in the air and drove the ball towards Arsenal's penalty area.

Just 3 minutes and 30 seconds had passed since the first goal. At this moment, Manchester United got another chance to score a single goal. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Arsenal.

The Arsenal fans were stunned. They looked blankly at Hernandez dribbling the ball forward, their minds going blank. They understood that as long as Hernandez scored this goal, Arsenal would definitely lose the game. .

Arsenal's players obviously knew better what this counterattack meant. Not only did the four defenders run back desperately, but even the midfielder and forward, who had no chance of catching up, also tried their best to defend.

Wenger also walked to the sidelines in a hurry, rubbing his hands constantly, feeling extremely anxious.

Manchester United's players did not let Hernandez go deep alone. Rooney, Nani, Park Ji-sung, and Gao Xiaodong all ran quickly towards Arsenal's penalty area, forming a second wave of attacking power.

Hernandez had already scored a goal against Szczesny three minutes ago, and he was full of confidence when facing Szczesny again.

Dribbling the ball into the penalty area, facing Szczesny's attack, Hernandez made a fake move past the goalkeeper just like the first time. He pushed the ball with the arch of his foot and pushed the ball to the lower left of the goal. horn.

Szczesny did not stumble this time, but he was still a step too late to save when he fell to the ground. The ball rolled under him and went straight to the blind corner of the goal.

Although Hernandez's single-handed ball did not deceive goalkeeper Szczesny, he handled it as well as last time. Goalkeeper Szczesny was not able to save the ball.

However, Hernandez's luck was not as good as last time. After the ball passed the goalkeeper, it hit the goal post and bounced towards the sideline.

After Hernandez shot, he had no intention of making up the shot. He was already ready to cheer and celebrate.

Seeing the ball hit the goal post, Hernandez quickly ran over to take a shot.

But because Hernandez did not go over to shoot after the shot, this gave Szczesny time to react. By the time Hernandez reached the ball, Szczesny had already blocked the near corner.

Hernandez has no shooting angle, and it is almost impossible to lob the back corner from such a close distance.

Hernandez could only think about passing the ball. He glanced at the middle of the penalty area. The first wave of Arsenal defenders who came back had already arrived in the penalty area. Rooney was right behind the Arsenal defender. Behind Rooney were Gao Xiaodong and Nadal. Ni, Park Ji-sung.

Hernandez is not greedy for credit;

He decisively passed the ball back in an inverted triangle, looking for Rooney who was advancing at high speed.

When Hernandez passed the ball, Koscielny had already chased behind Hernandez. Just to catch up with Hernandez, Koscielny ran too fast and the ball passed him. It flew past his feet, but he had no way to intercept it. He could only watch the ball roll to Rooney who was advancing forward.

Rooney is the model of Law. He defends hard and is even more active in offense. Although he runs very hard, he does not think much about the chance of shooting. Hernandez is the arrow of counterattack. He goes forward too fast. Rooney The defense involved was too far away from the first line of counterattack.

God rewards hard work, and the goalpost gave Rooney a chance to shoot.

Faced with Hernandez's back pass, Rooney made no adjustments and did not need to adjust. The goalkeeper blocked the left post and most of the goal was empty. Rooney blocked the pass forward and the ball came from It flew into the net past centre-back Jolu, who had not yet turned around.

2:0

In the 12th minute of the game, Manchester United took advantage of a counterattack to expand the score.

After scoring the goal, Rooney excitedly lifted his jersey over his head and ran towards the stands. Although Hernandez did not score, he completed an assist and was extremely excited. He followed closely behind Rooney and ran towards the stands. .

Except for goalkeeper De Gea, other Manchester United players followed Rooney and Hernandez and ran towards the stands.

Goalkeeper De Gea couldn't suppress his excitement. He clenched his fists, knelt on his knees, looked up to the sky and let out a roar.

The stands were boiling again. More than 70,000 Red Devils jumped to their feet, held their scarves high, and waved and cheered at the heroes on the field.

The coaching bench and bench on the sidelines also rushed to the sidelines immediately, shaking their fists and roaring at the court.

Ferguson himself could hardly believe that the game was only 12 minutes old and Manchester United had already scored two goals to seal the victory.

Ferguson first rushed out to applaud, and then looked at the coaching bench of his old rival Wenger.

Wenger was stunned, like a stone statue. He and Ferguson couldn't believe their eyes.

Arsenal is very young. Arsenal's main players have been transferred and injured, and indeed almost two-thirds of them are gone. However, Manchester United has also injured many people. The starting lineup on the field is as young as Arsenal, but the gap in combat effectiveness is so huge. , It’s really hard for Wenger to accept.

Professor Wenger certainly does not admit that his formation is inferior to Ferguson. He believes that the key to Arsenal conceding goals is because they do not have an all-round midfielder like Gao Xiaodong who can attack, defend, score goals and pass the ball. Manchester United scored Although the ball was scored by Hernandez and Rooney, judging from the assist data, Gao Xiaodong only had one, but the director behind both goals was Gao Xiaodong. Without Gao Xiaodong, Manchester United would not have had these two goals. Shot opportunity.

Compared with Gao Xiaodong, Arsenal's core midfielder Rosicky is still too weak. Both in terms of physical confrontation and skills, Rosicky is one level weaker than Gao Xiaodong.

The on-site commentators were also stunned. This was a powerful dialogue and a battle of focus. Who would have thought that the winner would almost be decided in the first 12 minutes.

He Hui exclaimed: "Oh my god! Another goal! One goal for Hernandez and Rooney! Is this the rhythm of a bloodbath? Xiaodong is so awesome! He directed two goals! This vision, This pass is simply amazing, but I don’t know if the Chinese forward can seize the opportunity after returning to the national team.”

"Sky Sports" commentator Gary. Neville couldn't believe that Manchester United would play so easily, "God! Another quick counterattack! Is Gao Xiaodong opening his eyes from God? These young people are too fierce. If Ferdinand recovers from injury, Vidic will not leave." , it is not impossible for Manchester United to defend the Triple Crown."
