Chapter 976 Gestures

Raul's goal at the last minute of the first half detonated the Veltins Arena.

"boom"! The entire stadium was like hundreds of tons of explosives exploding. Countless fans jumped up at the same time and roared loudly at the stadium, as if the team had advanced due to Brother Zhang's winning goal.

Raul, who scored this goal, once again made his signature celebration move: kissing the ring on his hand. His move caused many fans to imitate and shout "Lord of the Rings".

"It's in! Raul! Raul is in!" the on-site commentator shouted excitedly: "This is a life-saving goal! The total score is 3:5! Schalke still has hope! As long as we can score two goals in the second half With the ball, Manchester United can be eliminated and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League in history! Raul! Raul! Raul has shown his strength as the first player in the Champions League! When Schalke bought Raul, they would not have thought that they could kill Entering the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and even hopefully reaching the semifinals, this is the role of superstars! This is the influence of superstars..."

Ferguson was happily preparing to return to the lounge on the sidelines. Unexpectedly, Schalke 04 suddenly scored a goal. Sir Alex's face immediately changed. He yelled at the court and rushed back to the locker room angrily, preparing to punish him severely. Let’s criticize the defense and midfielders for their lack of concentration.

Although they conceded a goal at the last moment, Manchester United still had a one-and-a-half-goal lead. In other words, even if Schalke 04 scored another goal, Manchester United would still advance. Therefore, the pressure on the players was not great. They were still laughing and joking at the time, but when they saw Sir Alex waiting in the locker room with a gloomy face, the Manchester United players realized something was wrong and quietly stopped smiling.

"What happened to that dropped ball?"

Ferguson pointed his finger at the defense and midfielders when he opened his mouth.

Ferdinand still didn't take the seriousness of conceding the ball too seriously and replied directly: "The game is over soon. The field is a bit chaotic. Jurado's pass is very accurate."

"Nonsense! What were you doing when Jurado passed the ball? Who followed Raul when he ran?"

Ferguson scolded him sternly, giving Ferdinand no face at all.

The Ferguson hair dryer was not very powerful, and the boss Ferdinand did not dare to say anything, so he could only sit down slowly with his head lowered.

Ferguson continued: "The game was played well for 45 minutes, but the distraction in the last 10 seconds turned into a bad half! This is football. Don't think that we have a huge advantage. It doesn't matter if we lose one, let alone that we It is a wealthy club, much stronger than Schalke 04, a relegation-fighting team. Football depends on performance on the field. Judging from the first half of the game, does Schalke 04 look like a Bundesliga relegation-fighting team?

Raul is very old, but is he older than Paul and Ryan? Is he really unable to lift the knife? Let me tell you, the holder of the Champions League scoring record is by no means an idle person. We should not even give him a ten-second chance. Do you understand? "

The players in the locker room were silent

Silent, this is not due to Ferguson's lust, but what Ferguson said does make sense. In a sense, they did underestimate Schalke 04 and Raul.

Seeing that the players had a good attitude of admitting their mistakes, Ferguson did not continue to criticize. He arranged the tasks for the second half.

Before the game, Ferguson and his coaching staff made a plan to maintain a tie in the first half, counterattack in the second half, and finally lock in the promotion spot. Although it is regrettable that they failed to achieve the goal in the first half, the plan remains unchanged and they still have to attack in the second half. .

As a wealthy team, even if they lead by a big score, they cannot be beaten by their opponents for the entire game. This is related to the face and glory of the wealthy team, otherwise they may be laughed at by the media and fans even if they advance.

After laying out the tactics, Ferguson called Gao Xiaodong over and told him to push forward more and shoot more in the second half, and others would do the defensive work.

In a team, the most outstanding player is definitely the offensive player. After the game, both the media and the fans will focus on who scored the goal and who assisted. They will definitely not pay attention to who made the clearance and who made the steal. It’s just that Gao Xiaodong didn’t like it. lose,

He only comes back to help when the team's defense is weak. Now Ferguson has made it clear that he does not need to defend, and Gao Xiaodong certainly wants this.

In the passage from the locker room to the stadium, Gao Xiaodong was stopped by Hao Jun and Karimi.

"Xiaodong, this is Irani Karimi, I am your fan."

Hao Jun took Karimi and introduced him to Gao Xiaodong.

Karimi stretched out her hand to Gao Xiaodong with some restraint and said, "You are so tall."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and shook Karimi's hand, "Hello Karimi."

Hao Jun said: "No one wants to exchange jerseys with you. Karimi wants to exchange jerseys with you after the game."

Karimi looked at Gao Xiaodong nervously, fearing that someone would get there first.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "No, sure."

Karimi was obviously relieved and said to Gao Xiaodong in halting English: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Gao Xiaodong nodded to Hao Jun with a smile and walked quickly to the court.

At the beginning of the second half, Schalke 04 kicked off and they continued to attack Manchester United, trying to continue the rhythm of the first half.

But Manchester United was not as conservative as in the first half. When Schalke 04's army pressed forward, they also attacked unceremoniously and started fighting with Schalke 04 near the center circle.

Schalke 04 was prepared for Manchester United's counterattack in the second half, but they did not expect that Manchester United's counterattack would be so fierce.

Nani and Rooney flew together on both wings. Gao Xiaodong inserted in the middle faster and deeper than center Berbatov. Berbatov almost became a pseudo center in comparison.

Less than five minutes into the second half, Gao Xiaodong got a good chance to shoot.

This is when Rooney stormed Japanese defender Uchida Atsuto from the wing and passed the ball across the penalty area. Gao Xiaodong suddenly entered the penalty area with lightning speed and shot. The ball hit the defender and flew out against the goal post. Bottom line.

Manchester United won a corner kick. The corner kick taken by veteran Scholes found Ferdinand. Ferdinand wanted to header the goal, but the Schalke 04 center back also grabbed the spot. Their heads hit the ball almost at the same time. On the court, the ball was hit hard by two professional players, and the ball flew towards the ribs of the penalty area.

This was an unexpected change of line, but I never thought that Gao Xiaodong would appear in the ribs without anyone noticing. Before the defensive player could clear the ball, he rushed forward and kicked the ball towards the goal with the sole of his foot.

This time Schalke 04 goalkeeper Neuer was very focused and in a good position. The goal that was bound to be scored was suddenly thrown by Neuer onto the post and bounced out, and then was kicked away by the defender. go out.

After the ball was saved, the fans in the stands screamed.

"Ah! This shot is so awesome!"

"No one else has this kind of reaction!"

"It's a beautiful shot too. Gao Xiaodong won't hit the lower back now?"

"In the second half, Gao Xiaodong played more like a shadow forward."

"What a shadow striker, he takes more shots than Berbatov."

"This shot and every pounce are definitely world-class! It's wonderful!"

"Xiao Donggao's shooting skills are so good! What was Berbatov doing? It's better to let him go down and Xiao Dong go up and play forward."

…

The fans were talking a lot, and they were all amazed by the attack and defense played by Gao Xiaodong and Neuer just now.

Although this move was dangerous, Neuer looked relaxed. He smiled and made a zero sign to Gao Xiaodong, and then crossed his fingers to indicate that Gao Xiaodong would be given a clean sheet today.

Neuer wanted to anger Gao Xiaodong, because if a shooter loses his cool, his shooting skills cannot be used.

But Gao Xiaodong also made a very obscene gesture with one hand, then raised a finger and inserted it, laughing and walking back.

Gao Xiaodong's gesture was almost universally accepted in the world. Neuer was so angry that he waved his fist at Gao Xiaodong's back and cursed secretly: "This dirty bastard!".

The Manchester United fans laughed out loud when they saw Gao Xiaodong's move. They shouted towards the stadium: "Fake! Neuer! Fake! Neuer!"

Seeing Gao Xiaodong make this obscene move, Chinese commentator He Hui was a little embarrassed. He just said to Gao Xiaodong: "Don't get me wrong, Neuer wants to seal Xiaodong zero. The meaning of Xiaodong's gesture should be to break Neuer's door." .”

Obviously, He Hui's explanation can only become darker and darker. Many fans who didn't notice this gesture also knew it, but most fans thought it was nothing. Gao Xiaodong's fans also thought Gao Xiaodong was straightforward and cute, but Some reporters with ulterior motives thought this was a good topic and planned to hype it up before the game was over.
