Chapter 796: Only Xiaodong Can Score a Goal
Gao Xiaodong held the ball and came to the penalty spot, preparing to take the free kick.
Carrick came over and said, "Gao, do you want to cooperate?"
Carrick thought that the free kick was about 30 meters away from the goal, and wanted to let Gao Xiaodong take a long shot.
"Need not."
Gao Xiaodong replied firmly. He thought that after Carrick returned from injury, he wanted to take away his right to take free kicks. He thought to himself, the three big guys from Class 92 are not here today, and they all want to take away my right to take free kicks. ah.
Ferguson not only said at a press conference before that Gao Xiaodong is the main penalty taker of set kicks, but also said within the team that although he did not directly say that Gao Xiaodong is the first penalty taker, since Ferguson emphasized that other players will naturally He will not steal the ball from Gao Xiaodong.
But Carrick has been recuperating from injuries in the new season and is not very clear about the changes in the team. He also did not expect Gao Xiaodong to gain Ferguson's absolute trust so quickly, so he asked. Seeing Gao Xiaodong's harsh attitude, Carrick Ke was a little stunned and a little unhappy. He thought to himself, he is so young and has such a strong temper. He doesn't respect the elders at all.
Seeing that Carrick was rejected and walked aside unhappily, Fletcher secretly smiled and said to himself, Michael, now you know that this kid pulled me, and it was not me who said bad things about him behind his back.
After more than ten minutes of competition, Gao Xiaodong had a clear understanding of Valencia's strength. Their opponents had excellent defense and sharp counterattacks. It was not easy to break their goal, so every opportunity to set the ball must be taken advantage of.
Although this free kick was close to thirty meters away from the goal, Gao Xiaodong was so powerful that he could hit this distance. It mainly depends on the footwork used and the accuracy of the shot.
Manchester United's players who are good at headers all went to the penalty area to compete for headers, while Gao Xiaodong measured his steps and prepared for a long-distance shot.
Valencia goalkeeper Sanchez saw Gao Xiaodong running more than ten meters away during his run-up, and thought to himself, this kid is too exaggerated. Is he deliberately deceiving me? I have to be careful about his passing.
The referee's whistle blew, Gao Xiaodong quickly ran to the penalty spot, and players from both offense and defense in the penalty area began to compete for position.
Gao Xiaodong ran to the ball and wanted to volley directly, but when he saw the goalkeeper bending his waist and knees, he was already ready to save. He suddenly stopped suddenly, retracted his right leg, and then kicked out with his left foot. A curling shot towards the top right corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Sanchez was already ready to make a save. Gao Xiaodong stopped suddenly, shaking Sanchez almost to the point of vomiting blood. Before he could react, Gao Xiaodong had already started shooting with his left foot.
Sanchez was instantly knocked out of his mind by Gao Xiaodong. He stood there blankly and watched the ball fly into the net without moving.
1:0
Everyone at the scene was stunned by Gao Xiaodong's emergency stop and shot. After the goal, only Gao Xiaodong raised his arms and cheered and ran wildly. Others, including the referee, were stunned.
After a brief silence, Manchester United fans cheered and applauded wildly.
"Hold the grass! In!"
"God! And there's also the practice of changing feet to shoot free throws!"
"The goalkeeper was fooled!"
"This penalty is too cunning!"
"It's comparable to a basketball hand-to-hand layup in the air!"
…
Ferguson stuck out his gum and rushed out with his arms raised, "Good fight! Great! High! Well done!"
At this moment, Ferguson wanted to run into the stadium and give Gao Xiaodong a hug. His left and right foot skills and his football intelligence were unmatched by Manchester United. Even in world football, few could match him.
Carrick was stunned. For a straightforward English player like him, he had never seen such deceitful free kick skills. Only now did he understand why Gao Xiaodong was able to control the position after coming to Manchester United for more than a month. The right to take the ball and take the penalty is really awesome!
Berbatov was dissatisfied with Gao Xiaodong's skills, but he was dissatisfied with Gao Xiaodong's football intelligence. Even if his skills were twice as high as Gao Xiaodong's, he might not be able to kick such a tricky free kick.
"Okay! Great!" CCTV's on-site commentator He Shishi roared in excitement at Gao Xiaodong's free kick.
"A magical free kick! Xiaodong broke through Valencia's goal! Incredible! It's incredible! Only Xiaodong can kick such a free kick! It's so imaginative! Is this a technique? Yes! But it's not purely Technology! This is speculation on the opponent's psychology! This is defeating the opponent in a battle of wits! 1:0, Manchester United opened the scoring! Let's see if they can keep the victory and break the record of not winning in Spain!"
Valencia coach Emery was dumbfounded, this is okay! You can get in this way! How come this kid’s left foot is so good! No worse than the right foot! Changing feet temporarily, how did this kid's head grow? Different from ordinary people?
What pains Emery the most is what to do next? What Valencia is best at is defensive counterattacks. Now they are lagging behind at home. Manchester United has not won a ball in this stadium. They will definitely not attack again. From now on, Valencia can only attack what they are not good at. Think about Manchester United's crazy Counterattack, Emery couldn't help but shudder.
Emery's guess was good. After the game started again, the experienced and practical Ferguson asked the players to shrink their defense to fight Valencia's counterattack.
Originally, Manchester United had a 4321 formation. Nani and Park Ji-sung pulled to both sides, Gao Xiaodong retreated, and the formation became 451. Manchester United fought hard in the midfield to prevent Valencia from penetrating Manchester United's penalty area.
It has to be said that Ferguson’s move was brilliant. With five players in Manchester United’s midfield, it would be difficult for Valencia to penetrate even with Barcelona’s short passing skills. When Manchester United originally partnered with Vidic and Evers, the center back was still There are flaws. Now that Ferdinand is back, he is no longer afraid of long passes and low crosses. It is indeed very difficult for Valencia to break Manchester United's goal.
What makes the Valencians even more painful is that it is not only more difficult for them to break Manchester United's goal, but also more difficult to prevent Manchester United's counterattack.
Berbatov in Manchester United's frontcourt may only be one person, but his ability to stop and play the ball is extremely strong. Once Berbatov gets the ball to Gao Xiaodong and Nani, it depends on the three of them. West Asia's four players can't be guarded.
Fortunately, this is just a Champions League group match. There is no big problem for Manchester United and Valencia to qualify. The competition is just for the first place in the group. Valencia also has rich experience in European wars. They are not in a hurry. After conceding the goal, Valencia The players did not press heavily, but patiently arranged in the middle and on the wings, looking for Manchester United's gaps and mistakes.
The tempo of the game slowed down, and Valencia controlled the ball, but it was difficult for the ball to reach Manchester United's thirty-meter area, and more of it was passed in Valencia's backcourt.
On-site commentator He Hui joked, "Manchester United has beaten Valencia into Barcelona. It is a pity that Valencia does not have the ability to cooperate in intensive defense."
However, Valencia's tactics were correct. They did not give Manchester United a chance to strike while the iron was hot. In the 27th minute of the game, Carrick made a mistake in passing the ball in midfield. After Pablo stole the ball, he volleyed vigorously from 25, but unfortunately the ball was slightly high. Out of the crossbar.
In the 34th minute of the game, Valencia suddenly accelerated the pace. Mata passed two people and passed from the left side of the penalty area. Van der Sar never had a chance to move. His attack was a bit reckless and he did not get the ball. But Valencia Forward Soldado headed the ball high into the empty goal at the edge of the penalty area and missed the opportunity to equalize.
There was no problem with Ferguson's tactical arrangements, but he didn't expect that his players almost lost the ball due to two mistakes. He was so angry that he yelled at the court from the sidelines and wished he could replace these two people.
However, after two mistakes, Manchester United's players concentrated on 12 points and made the defense watertight. Until the end of the first half, they did not give Valencia another chance to shoot.
