Chapter 1,214 Spoon Killing

In panic, Reina made a more risky decision. He lifted his feet off the ground, showed his spikes, and tackled the ball.

This is a very dangerous tackle. If Gao Xiaodong insists on taking the ball, he may break his leg if he is tackled.

Reina risked being sent off just to force Gao Xiaodong to give up the ball.

At this point in time, losing the ball means losing. In order not to lose, Reina also worked hard.

If any player were replaced, I would probably hesitate at this time. Is it worth risking a broken leg for a possible ball right?

Gao Xiaodong is an exception!

He didn't need to hesitate at all. He had super sneakers and wrist guards. Gao Xiaodong was not afraid of his opponent showing off his spikes. Such force would probably only make Gao Xiaodong suffer for a while, but there would be no threat of breaking his leg.

Gao Xiaodong not only did not slow down, but instead accelerated and rushed forward. He rubbed the ball under the ball, lifted it up, and then pounced forward, taking away most of the force of Reina's shovel.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong being tackled, Manchester United fans shouted in unison: Foul! Red card!

At this time, Gao Xiaodong could just roll around and see if he could get a red card from Reina, but the time was already in injury time, and sending Reina off would not win the game, but would instead give the team behind him an advantage.

Gao Xiaodong quickly got up and ran after the ball.

When Reina tackled Gao Xiaodong, referee Marriner was watching not far away, with the whistle already in his mouth, but he did not blow the whistle immediately.

This is Liverpool's home ground and this is Anfield. If Reina is given a red card, I'm afraid the fans at the scene will explode.

At this moment of hesitation, Gao Xiaodong got up. According to the principle of advantageous offense, the referee Marina also lowered his whistle to see if Gao Xiaodong could catch up with the ball.

The referee didn't blow the whistle just now, and the Liverpool fans had just let go of their tense hearts, and now they are hanging on again. If Gao Xiaodong catches up with the ball, it will be more troublesome than sending off Reina with a red card.

Although Gao Xiaodong had just given the ball an upward force, the ball had greater forward inertia and still quickly rolled towards the baseline.

Gao Xiaodong's speed is incredible. Even if he fell to the ground and got up again, he still stepped on the ball on the baseline.

The inertia is too great,

Gao Xiaodong's body rushed out of the court. When he adjusted his center of gravity and turned around, Liverpool defender Enrique also returned to the goal line.

As long as it was not goalkeeper Gao Xiaodong, there was no threat. Gao Xiaodong pushed the ball inward and hit the goal directly at a small angle.

The range that Enrique's body could control was too small. Seeing the ball flying past him, Enrique, eager to atone, subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it.

There was no goalkeeper at the door, and Gao Xiaodong's shot was not powerful. After being hit by Enrique, the ball changed direction and flew out of the baseline.

This is a naked intentional handball!

Not to mention at Anfield, even in the lobby of Liverpool's headquarters, referee Marriner must blow the whistle.

Beep!

Marriner blew the whistle, pointed to the penalty spot, then took out the red card and sent Enrique off the field.

Enrique made the move subconsciously. After doing it, he knew that he had caused a big trouble. He lowered his head and walked out of the field in frustration.

This is a definite red dot package, and even Liverpool fans have nothing to say except accept it.

Enrique must bear all the responsibility for this penalty, but he at least gave Liverpool a glimmer of hope.

As long as Reina saves Manchester United's penalty kick, Liverpool will be able to maintain the tie.

"Come on Reina!"

"Come on Reina!"

"Save that kid's penalty!"

"You can do it! Reina!"

"You are our patron saint! Reina!"

…

Amid the cheers of Liverpool fans, Reina walked back to the goal with a heavy face.

There is no doubt that it was Gao Xiaodong who took the penalty kick. The Chinese have never missed a penalty kick so far. This is a record that makes the goalkeeper desperate.

Reina can only hope for a miracle. He believes that there is no penalty kick that cannot be saved in this world, and the goalkeeper always makes the right bet.

Indeed, there are only three directions for penalty kicks: left, center and right, and the goalkeeper has a one-third chance every time.

Gao Xiaodong stood in front of the penalty spot and began to measure the steps again, torturing his opponent's nerves.

After measuring the steps, Gao Xiaodong stood and waited for the referee's whistle.

Liverpool fans also played the role of the 12-man team at this time. They booed desperately, cursed Gao Xiaodong as a yellow-skinned monkey, and tried to interfere with Gao Xiaodong.

Beep!

Referee Marriner's whistle sounded.

Gao Xiaodong jogged towards the ball, raised his thigh, and seemed to be about to volley hard.

Seeing that Gao Xiaodong's foot was about to touch the ball, Reina quickly pounced to the left, betting that Gao Xiaodong would move to the left.

Just when Reina pounced, Gao Xiaodong's raised thigh suddenly came to a sudden stop, and then gently rubbed the bottom of the ball, kicking a spoon penalty.

The ball flew lightly towards the center of the goal.

Reina has already pounced. No matter how slow the ball is, he can only watch it and sigh.

2:1

Gao Xiaodong scored a confident penalty kick to give Manchester United the lead.

After the goal, Gao Xiaodong raised his arms and ran to the sidelines cheering. He was going to give head coach Ferguson a hug.

It's already injury time, and this goal is basically a winning goal!

The Liverpool fans were silent, with only the Manchester United fans letting out triumphant laughter and applause like vultures.

"Well done! Boy! Well done..." When Gao Xiaodong hugged Ferguson, Ferguson patted Gao Xiaodong on the back hard and kept praising Gao Xiaodong.

The final victory was beyond Sir Alex's expectation. He thought it would be a draw, but Gao Xiaodong gave him an unexpected surprise!

Being able to defeat Liverpool at Anfield and defeat his old rival Dalglish gave Ferguson a sense of accomplishment and pride no less than winning the FA Cup.

As happy as Ferguson was, Dalglish was in pain. As much as Ferguson was feeling accomplished, Dalglish was feeling frustrated.

At this point, he actually gave his opponent another penalty kick. Is this crazy?

This goal not only made Dalglish lose face in front of Ferguson, but also widened the points gap between Liverpool and Manchester United to 11 points, which basically caused Liverpool to lose the competition for the league championship this season.

Dalglish looked at the electronic scoreboard. The score had been rewritten as 1:2. The bright red numbers were dazzling, and the time was even more dazzling. Four minutes of stoppage time had passed. Liverpool had no time at all. With better luck, maybe The referee gives an opportunity to attack. If it is not good, the whistle may be blown right after the kick-off in the center circle.

However, Dalglish was still unwilling to give in. He called the players and asked them to go all out and launch the final attack.

After Manchester United celebrated, Liverpool kicked off the ball from the center circle and the ball fell backwards. Liverpool players ran wildly towards Manchester United's penalty area.

Although stoppage time had expired, referee Marriner still gave Liverpool a chance to attack.

The ball was passed back to goalkeeper Pepe Reina and at least three Liverpool players found their way into United's penalty area.

Reina kicked the ball into Manchester United's penalty area with a big kick.

The ball landed in the penalty area, and several people fought for it. The ball fell to Adam's feet. Adam raised his leg and shot. His muscles were too close, and the shot in the penalty area was missed by him.

At this time, the referee's whistle sounded and the game was over.
