Chapter 766: The Red Devils’ First Goal in the Champions League

Ferguson on the sidelines was even more frightened by Gao Xiaodong. This was the treasure he bought for 80 million. If something happened now, where would he cry?

Ferguson originally wanted to take the opportunity of the Champions League group stage to train the newcomers, but seeing Gao Xiaodong like this, he might go crazy if he doesn't win. He didn't dare to continue training, so he quickly replaced Park Ji-sung, who was strong in defense and weak in attack, and replaced him with Na Ni, step up the offensive and try to win the Rangers earlier.

However, the Rangers' iron barrel formation is too tight, and the players are very powerful. Not to mention the technical talents like Giggs and Nani, even if Manchester United is replaced by Barcelona or Arsenal, they will not be able to penetrate.

There is a scene that highlights Manchester United's helplessness in attacking: in the 75th minute of the game, after Manchester United made continuous passes from the wing and the center, Giggs crossed into the penalty area, and Rooney broke into the Rangers penalty area, but just when he was about to shoot, Found that there were already 5 Rangers players standing in front of him.

Facing the "leg forest" lying in front of him, Rooney fainted and could only knock the ball back to the top of the penalty area.

Gao Xiaodong had no opponent to grab the ball. He used his physical advantage to squeeze away the opponent and pushed the ball away. However, the ball still couldn't avoid the long legs in the penalty area. The ball hit the defensive player and bounced out of the baseline.

Gao Xiaodong was not optimistic about the corner kick. Even with Vidic and Smalling, Manchester United had little hope of scoring, so Gao Xiaodong gave up taking the corner kick and left it to Giggs, and ran to the penalty area to prepare. Rush to grab the landing point.

There were many people in the Rangers penalty area. After Giggs sent the ball out, Gao Xiaodong quickly rushed to the penalty area. However, no matter how fast or high he bounced, he could not match his opponent's inherent advantage of more than 20 centimeters above him. The ball was hit. Defender Weir headed out.

The ball was grabbed by Fletcher. With Giggs around, he didn't dare to take a direct long shot. When he saw Giggs asking for the ball, he immediately passed it to Giggs.

When Giggs received the ball, the penalty area was in chaos, with players from both offense and defense intertwined. However, Wang Laoji was experienced and had a wide field of vision. He immediately saw Hernandez running towards the open space on one side of the penalty area. He immediately Pass the ball.

Hernandez's movement was very smart. After the corner kick was taken, everyone ran forward and back. He ran to one side. At the moment when the Rangers were negligent, Giggs passed the ball over. .

If the ball belonged to Gao Xiaodong, he would have volleyed it directly with the skill of volleying, but Hernandez felt that there was still room to stop the ball. He stopped the ball with his chest, and before the ball hit the ground, he volleyed towards the goal.

The moment Hernandez stopped the ball on his chest, defensive player Edu came up to block it. Hernandez's volley hit Edu's hanging arm and bounced off the baseline.

Hernandez immediately raised his hand to ask for a penalty kick, but Belgian referee Debrek did not see it. He pointed to the corner kick area to indicate that it was a corner kick.

Hernandez was not convinced and ran to the referee BB again. He was just a little shrimp. The referee would not accept him. He immediately took out the yellow card and warned Hernandez.

The corner kick here was taken by Nani, but Gao Xiaodong still ran into the penalty area to grab the point.

Nani raised his hand to Gao Xiaodong, which was a signal to ask Gao Xiaodong to grab the front spot.

After Nani passed the ball, Gao Xiaodong quickly moved forward and headed back to find Giggs on the other side.

This is a fixed routine for corner kicks. When Gao Xiaodong moved, Giggs inserted into the back point. The ball flew over and Giggs jumped up and headed the ball towards the near corner.

The goalkeeper was powerless, but the defender standing beside the goalpost used his body to block the inevitable goal.

Giggs quickly turned around to get the ball, and Bradford was chasing after him. Giggs made a feint to the left, suddenly turned in the opposite direction and hoisted the ball to the other side of the goal.

After Gao Xiaodong headed the ball, he was about to go back, but he didn't expect Wong Lo Kat to pass the ball over.

At this moment, goalkeeper McGregor and the defender had been attracted to Giggs' side. Gao Xiaodong quickly stepped in and prepared to head the ball into the empty goal.

Rangers defender Bradford had no choice but to reach out from behind and push Gao Xiaodong.

Feeling someone pushing him, Gao Xiaodong immediately started performing.

"ah!"

Gao Xiaopang seemed to have been hit by a palm that transformed into bones. He let out a heart-rending scream and then threw himself on the turf.

The fat man has a huge lung capacity, and when he shouts this, even the referee Debrek can hear it clearly in the other half.

Debrek saw this and decisively showed Bradford a yellow card warning and awarded a penalty kick.

The cheers in the stands were thundering, and the Red Devils fans were as excited as if they had scored a goal.

It's no wonder that the Rangers' defense was too wretched, unable to defend, and they were so tall. Manchester United attacked for more than 80 minutes and used all kinds of weapons, but they couldn't stop them. With this penalty kick, Manchester United Finally found the opportunity to challenge the goalkeeper.

Giggs is Manchester United's best penalty kicker, but he is too old and does not play often. Since Ronaldo left, Manchester United's penalty kicker is mostly Rooney, but it is not fixed. If Rooney's foot style is not smooth, like Carrick, Scholes and others can also play.

After Gao Xiaodong transferred, he also became one of Manchester United's penalty kickers, but his position was behind Rooney.

Rooney has been deeply involved in the whirlpool of public opinion recently and is eager to prove himself. When the referee awarded a penalty kick, he did not ask Giggs for his opinion and walked to the penalty spot holding the ball.

Giggs frowned slightly. Rooney had no objection to punishing him. Now is the time to train the juniors, but he thought Rooney should say hello to him.

Ferguson also frowned. He believed that such a high-pressure ball was not suitable for Rooney in his current state, because he did not get much credit for scoring the penalty. Gao Xiaodong and Giggs created the penalty, but if he lost it, he would be blamed. , this ball is most suitable for Giggs to take the penalty, but Rooney has already gone to take the penalty. Of course, Ferguson can't say anything more.

Gao Xiaodong also wanted to take this penalty kick. It was his first match in the Champions League. The time was already over 80 minutes. If he didn't take this penalty kick, he would probably have no hope of scoring.

It's just that Rooney has a low emotional intelligence and doesn't know how to reciprocate the favor and give it to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong can't ask for it. He can only go to the angle where Rooney usually kicks and wait to see if there is a chance for a follow-up shot.

This is the consciousness of a point-grabbing forward, and others will not consider it in such detail.

When people are under pressure, they will use the most familiar and commonly used techniques. Facing the outstanding goalkeeper Gregor, facing this penalty kick that almost determines the outcome, Rooney made a small run-up and hit the goal with a half-high ball with his right foot. Lower right corner.

Goalkeeper Gregor had studied Rooney. The moment Rooney took off his foot, he flew towards the lower right corner.

Bang.

The ball was saved by Gregor with one palm.

Seeing the goalkeeper save the ball, Rooney held his head in his hands and squatted down in despair.

However, at the moment when goalkeeper Gregor made the save, many players on both sides of the offense and defense ran towards the penalty area, but opportunities are for those who are prepared. The first one to rush to the ball was Gao Xiaodong, who rushed to the ball quickly In front of him, he met the ball and volleyed from a small angle with the outside of his left foot. Before the goalkeeper could get up, the ball flew from him and into the left side of the goal.

1:0

After the supplementary shot hit the net, Gao Xiaodong raised his arms, cheered and ran to the stands.

"Rooney's penalty kick was saved... Gao's supplementary shot... The ball went in... High, high, high... 1:0! Gao scored at Manchester United. His first Champions League goal, now he has scored in all competitions, scoring a total of eight goals! This is an incredible record. The new Cantona is indeed extraordinary."

Ferguson clenched his fists and rushed out cheering!

The assistant coaches rushed out cheering!

The substitutes also cheered and rushed out!

The Red Devils who had been waiting eagerly for more than 80 minutes in the stands also jumped up crazily, raised their arms and shouted Gao Xiaodong's name. For a moment, except for the stunned Rangers, the entire Old Trafford stadium turned into a turbulent sea of ​​red. .
