Chapter 885: 1 Dunk and 1 Shot
Tottenham are playing at home and competing fiercely for the top four spots. They are determined to win this game and they are not playing conservatively.
After being seized the opportunity by Manchester United in the opening game, Tottenham immediately counterattacked. Bell used his personal ability to break through from the wing and then passed the ball. The ball was cleared by Vidic. Palacios grabbed the landing point and broke into the penalty area. Was kicked over by Fletcher.
Tottenham received a free kick in front of the penalty area.
Van der Vaart took the free kick. He shot directly, and a curved ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is getting stronger, flying to catch the ball and quickly throwing the ball to initiate a counterattack.
The ball was passed to the feet of Scholes. Although the former Manchester United player's physical fitness has declined and he has begun to attack Gao Xiaodong, his vision and long-pass skills have not fallen behind. After receiving the ball, he quickly kicked forward. The field found Rooney.
Rooney is also a candidate for the captaincy. In order to compete for the captaincy, Rooney's performance today was extremely active. It was comparable to the Champions League final in Moscow. Van der Sar got the ball and he already ran to the position of the central defender, far away Leaving Berbatov behind.
After receiving the ball, Rooney took a few steps across to the front of the penalty area. When he was approaching the corner of the penalty area, he did not cooperate with Berbatov who arrived and directly shot the back corner of the goal.
Although Rooney is reckless, his skills are top-notch. The arc of this shot is very beautiful. The ball almost bypasses the hand of goalkeeper Gomez and flies to the back corner. Fortunately, Gomez's position is slightly forward, and he fights hard He touched the ball with his fingertips and it flew out against the post.
The ball was touched by Gomez, and the Manchester United players thought it was a corner kick. Gao Xiaodong also wanted to take a corner kick, but unexpectedly the referee gave it a goal kick.
This time Gao Xiaodong was very active and immediately ran to the referee to protest.
Rooney thought Gao Xiaodong was helping him, so he quickly went to the referee to protest.
Fletcher was smart enough to immediately understand that this was an opportunity to show his leadership, and went to protest.
Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez was very cunning. When he saw the Manchester United players protesting, he quickly took a goal kick and attacked Manchester United from the wing.
Manchester United's attack was a bit like a sneak attack. It advanced very quickly from the wing. Manchester United focused on the protest. Before they had time to defend effectively, Bell reached the bottom line and completed the cross.
Tottenham's players in the middle were also quick to grab points. Crouch, Van der Vaart and Modric all followed into the penalty area.
There was a leak in Manchester United's defense in the middle. Modric grabbed the spot, but his header flew out of the baseline against the goal post.
Ferguson stood on the sidelines and frowned. Manchester United is also a very experienced team. This time they were attacked by their opponents because of their protest. It was really inappropriate. Ferguson is an experienced man. Of course he knows Gao Xiaodong's purpose. He thought , this kid has no abilities at all, he is just too cunning.
The offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides was very fast in the opening, and they both had threatening shooting opportunities, but neither was able to break through the opponent's goal.
After 10 minutes, both sides slowed down the pace of their attack. They fought more in the midfield. After grabbing the ball, they launched an attack from the frontcourt. However, because both sides began to pay attention to the defense in the backcourt, even after the midfielder stole the ball, it was very difficult. It's hard to get a good shot like at the beginning.
This stalemate is a good opportunity for players who are eager to perform. After the two sides reached a stalemate, Gao Xiaodong, Rooney, and Evra performed extremely actively, frequently using their personal abilities to attack Tottenham's defense.
Defensive players such as Ferdinand, Vidic and Fletcher are not willing to be left alone. After completing their defensive tasks, they frequently move forward, hoping to perform in the offense.
Tottenham's stars are also very active today, especially Modric and Bale, because Real Madrid is pursuing them both. During today's battle between Tottenham and Manchester United, Real Madrid's technical director Valdano also came to the stands to inspect the situation. Two players.
In the 15th minute, Bell's cross from the left was blocked by Rafael.
The ball was grabbed by Bell again, and he passed the ball directly to the front of the penalty area to find Modric.
Modric stopped the ball with his chest and elegantly passed Fletcher and Scholes in succession. However, when he wanted to shoot, the ball was blocked directly on the instep by Gao Xiaodong from the side and behind.
Modric's strength is far inferior to that of the stocky Gao Xiaodong. Although he shot and Gao Xiaodong blocked it, Modric still staggered and fell to the ground.
Gao Xiaodong did not stop just because Modric fell to the ground. He stretched out his foot and hooked the ball out from under Modric's legs.
After the steal, Gao Xiaodong glanced ahead. Berbatov hadn't turned around yet. Rooney was being closely watched by Tottenham because he was too active. There was no good passing point. Gao Xiaodong dribbled the ball towards Tottenham's half. field.
Gao Xiaodong does not have exquisite skills, but he has a good body and speed. His breakthrough with the ball is more like Kaká and Maradona. He strides forward and controls the ball with his speed and body. The opponent does not foul or rush around. Hard to grab.
Gao Xiaodong has a strong long-range shooting ability. After he threw away Palacios and quickly entered Tottenham's half, the threat greatly increased. Tottenham winger Bell returned to the center of the defense as quickly as possible and came with Gala. Guard against Gao Xiaodong.
Bell played as a full-back and was extremely fast. Gao Xiaodong saw him and the experienced Gallas come to guard him, so he wisely gave up dribbling, because even if he broke through, he would definitely not be able to escape Bell's pursuit. Pass out and cooperate with teammates.
Gao Xiaodong passed the ball to Nani, and he quickly pulled out to cooperate with Nani.
Gao Xiaodong passed the ball to Nani not because Nani was in a better position, but mainly because Berbatov didn't like him, and Rooney is now eager to compete for the championship and may not cooperate selflessly with him, and Nani now knows that Gao Xiaodong also covets him. As the captain, he pays great attention to creating opportunities for Gao Xiaodong.
Nani quickly gave the ball to Gao Xiaodong, then went down to play a one-two with Gao Xiaodong. At this time, Bell had already arrived, but was blocked by Gao Xiaodong. Bell saw Gao Xiaodong making a wall to pass the ball out. , kicked Gao Xiaodong down from behind, trying to stop Manchester United's attack with a foul.
Gao Xiaodong immediately raised his hands and shouted for a foul. When he saw that Nani did not stop the ball, he passed the full-back in a one-two and then cut across the baseline. The referee saw that Manchester United's offense was advantageous and ignored it.
Bale kicked Gao Xiaodong over, but the referee ignored him. How could Gao Xiaodong make Bale feel better? Seeing Bale trying to intercept Nani in the penalty area, Gao Xiaodong stretched his foot from behind and knocked Bale down, then got up and ran towards him as if nothing had happened. The frontier of the restricted area.
At this moment, everyone's attention is on Nani and Dawson who came to intercept. No one pays attention to Bell, who is running without the ball.
After Nani broke into the penalty area, Berbatov inserted into the small penalty area, and Rooney also grabbed the back point. However, there was Dawson, who was 1.88 meters tall, in front of Nani. It was difficult for him to pass the high-altitude ground ball. .
Nani only has two options: forced shooting and inverted triangle pass back to the front of the penalty area.
Originally, Nani thought that Gao Xiaodong had just been kicked down and might not have time to come to the middle of the penalty area to respond. Unexpectedly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gao Xiaodong appear at the front of the penalty area.
Nani immediately spiked the ball and passed it to the front of the penalty area, looking for Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong originally wanted to shoot directly, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Modric had already defended from behind. He decisively dunked the ball with his right foot, knocked down the rushing Modric, and then shot with his left foot. .
Gao Xiaodong's spike not only knocked down Modric, but also knocked goalkeeper Gomez. Gomez thought Gao Xiaodong was going to shoot at the first shot, but he didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to spike the ball. He just breathed a sigh of relief. Gao Xiaodong shot with his left foot, and the banana ball hit the upper right corner of the goal.
The rhythm changed too quickly. Gomez was a step too late to save, and the ball flew close to his hand and into the blind corner of the goal.
1:0
In the 17th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong opened the scoring for Manchester United with a left-footed curve ball.
During this transition from defense to offense, Gao Xiaodong fully demonstrated his speed, technical vision and football intelligence. The Manchester United fans were extremely excited. As soon as the ball hit the net, they immediately jumped up, raised their arms and fists, and rushed towards the court. Cheering and roaring.
The on-site commentator exclaimed: "Beautiful! So beautiful! The field of view is so good! The shooting skills are so superb! There is really no difference between the skills of the left and right feet. He scored in the first 17 minutes. It seems that Tottenham has given away points. The boy is determined again."
After Gao Xiaodong scored, Ferguson clenched his fists and rushed out of the coaching bench, "Good shot! This kid! What a good shot!"
Real Madrid technical director Valdano, who was sitting in the stands watching Modric and Bale, saw Gao Xiaodong knock down Modric and score a goal. He couldn't help shaking his head and sighing. Such Gao Xiaodong is definitely worthy of Modric and Bale. Ah, after sighing, he secretly cursed Mourinho. Gao Xiaodong is his disciple, and with only 80 million euros, Mourinho can't even get Gao Xiaodong to Real Madrid. It's really incompetent.
