Chapter 806 Nine Consecutive Victories
After Brown came on to replace Neville, Stoke City took a corner kick. The ball was knocked out by Ferdinand again. Pennant grabbed the spot and shot again. The ball was blocked by Gao Xiaodong.
The ball fell to Nani, who took the ball and launched a counterattack along the wing.
Stoke City defender Collins committed a tactical foul and tackled Nani head-on. Referee Marinell showed him a yellow card.
Stoke City players and fans were very dissatisfied with this penalty. They believed that the referee was biased towards Manchester United and the penalty against Neville just now was very lax.
Gao Xiaodong ignored the opponent's protest, took a quick free kick and passed it to Hernandez.
Hernandez dribbled the ball towards the penalty area, and Stoke City defender Shawcross followed closely. Hernandez moved the ball away from Shawcross and broke into the penalty area. Shawcross made a mistake in judgment and tripped with his foot. Hernandez.
The referee Marinel blew the whistle, but he did not award a penalty kick, but instead awarded a free kick on the penalty area line.
Manchester United's players were unconvinced, believing that Hernandez had entered the penalty area.
Hernandez, who was lying in the penalty area asking for a penalty kick, was very angry. He went to the referee to ask for an explanation.
Scholes was worried that the referee would bully the newcomer, so he pulled Hernandez aside and negotiated with the referee himself, but Marinell insisted on his decision and Scholes had nothing to do.
The free kick on the penalty area line was difficult to arc, and it was difficult to coordinate. It was a volley. Scholes handed the free kick to Gao Xiaodong to take the penalty.
Stoke City formed a thick wall. Gao Xiaodong's powerful volley hit the leg of the wall and bounced out. Scholes grabbed the spot and shot again, and the ball went over the crossbar.
The game continued, with Manchester United still attacking and Stoke City defending. This situation continued until the 75th minute. Stoke City had not been able to take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack to equalize the score. Seeing that Manchester United was preparing to retreat, Stoke City could not continue. After waiting for a while, head coach Pulis replaced Pennant with Gudjohnsen and Wilson with Tuncay, and began to strengthen the offense.
When the game reached the 75th minute, Ferguson no longer expected to expand the score. He was about to replace Carrick to strengthen the defense. Unexpectedly, Stoke City attacked. Ferguson gave up the decision to substitute and prepared to enter Stoke again. A goal from KC and then another substitution.
Stoke City's defensive counterattack was pretty good, but the offense was really simple and rough, with either a long pass from the center or a cross from the wing, and then the forward and midfielder rushed into the penalty area.
If this tactic is used during a counterattack, and the number of defensive players is small and they are not in position, the threat will be much greater. Now Manchester United's defensive players stand in position, including Scholes, Gao Xiaodong, Fletcher, With Nani in front of the defender, Stoke City's counterattack was almost like attacking the city with a bow and arrow, posing little threat to Manchester United's goal.
Manchester United can now finally give "on-the-spot guidance" to Stoke City on how to fight back.
In the 78th minute of the game, Stoke City's long pass was passed to Gao Xiaodong by Vidic. Gao Xiaodong stopped the ball on his chest and passed it to Scholes. Scholes did not wait for the opponent to surround him, and quickly passed to Nassar. Nani took a few steps and passed it to Gao Xiaodong who quickly broke through the opponent's high post press.
Three passes and two downs, now only Stoke City's back line was left in front of Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong stopped passing the ball and took advantage of his teammates' movements to quickly approach Stoke City's center back with the ball.
Look at Gao Xiaodong entering the 30-meter area. Stoke City's center back did not dare to retreat. Faye decisively rushed forward and forced Gao Xiaodong to pass the ball.
What Gao Xiaodong was waiting for was for the central defender to make a move. Now Manchester United's two forwards, Berbatov, were watched by another central defender. Hernandez, who was not famous, was left open. Gao Xiaodong's arch of his foot gently moved toward With a push from the ribs of the penalty area, the ball was passed to Hernandez.
Finally passed on!
Hernandez was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He was waiting eagerly.
Hernandez was so excited and moved that he impulsively shot as soon as he entered the penalty area and hit the far corner with the arch of his foot.
But Stoke City goalkeeper Sorensen is no ordinary person.
He is the national goalkeeper of Denmark. Sørensen has been playing in England since 1998 and has been playing for more than ten years. He is a goalkeeper for weak teams and has been a goalkeeper for middle and lower-tier teams for many years. Thomas Sørensen has the ability to save one-on-one goals. Very strong, he quickly fell to the ground and hit the ball with one hand. The ball missed the goal post and flew out of the baseline.
The good opportunity to seal the victory was wasted, Xiaowu was very disappointed, but rather than missing the single goal that sealed the victory, Hernandez was more worried that his teammates would not be willing to pass such a ball to him next time.
"It's okay, there is still a chance."
Gao Xiaodong generously came over to comfort Hernandez, as if he was a big brother. In fact, he was 2 years younger than Hernandez.
"Swear to God, I will definitely score next time!"
Hernandez was overjoyed when he heard what Gao Xiaodong said and vowed to score a goal next time.
With the strength of Stoke City, they attacked Manchester United and did not give Manchester United too many opportunities to counterattack. In the 85th minute of the game, Fletcher intercepted Stoke City's pass and passed it to Scholes. He cooperated with Gao Xiaodong and Nani with continuous short passes. Finally, Nani passed the ball and Gao Xiaodong received the ball, forming an opportunity with Hernandez and Berbatov to face two central defenders and a midfielder.
Gao Xiaodong took the ball and took a long shot.
Everyone on earth knows that Gao Xiaodong is a good long-range shooter, and no one dares to let him go. Depra hurried over to "block the shot."
Gao Xiaodong had long expected that his opponent would not let him shoot. He dunked the ball, passed Depra, and continued to move forward with the ball.
Gao Xiaodong scored too many goals and was too much of a threat. Seeing that Gao Xiaodong was about to approach the top of the penalty area, Stoke City's two center backs risked giving up Berbatov and Hernandez and pounced on Gao Xiaodong together. Xiaodong.
Facing the two central defenders' attacks, Gao Xiaodong was very calm. He pushed with the arch of his foot and passed the ball from Faye's feet to Hernandez.
Berbatov and Hernandez were both empty, but Gao Xiaodong did not pass to the main forward Berbatov.
Hernandez was extremely pleasantly surprised. He thought Gao Xiaodong would pass it to Berbatov. After all, he just missed a one-on-one shot. Unexpectedly, Gao Xiaodong passed it to him again. Now it seems that this boss is not in vain. Admit it.
Hernandez was very savvy. After he put the ball into the penalty area, facing the attacking goalkeeper Sorensen, he did not shoot directly. Instead, he made a move to shoot into the near corner. With a flick of his ankle, he shot the ball. Toward the far corner.
Sorensen was deceived. When Hernandez made a fake move, he stretched out his foot to block the near corner. When Hernandez actually shot, he was unable to make a complete save. Can watch the ball hit the net.
2:0
After scoring the goal, Hernandez rushed towards Xiaodong excitedly. He stretched out his arms to hug Gao Xiaodong and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you."
Next to him, Berbatov watched Gao Xiaodong and Hernandez celebrating and felt very unhappy. He felt that he was the main center and his shooting skills were better than Hernandez. Gao Xiaodong didn't pass the ball to him. This was obvious. It's biased against him.
The other Manchester United players did not have as many thoughts as Berbatov. Everyone ran to Hernandez and celebrated with him the goal that sealed the victory.
After Hernandez scored, Stoke City had no way to retreat and could only invest more troops in the attack. However, this also gave Manchester United more opportunities to counterattack. In the 90th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong scored from the middle and Nana Ni made a pass and Hernandez scored with a header, locking the score at 3:0.
In three minutes of stoppage time, Stoke City was in no mood to fight, and Manchester United did not score again. In the end, Manchester United defeated Stoke City 3:0 in an away game and won 9 consecutive victories, tying the Premier League record created by Mourinho's Chelsea. Good start.
