Volume 1: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 312 Just for This Moment! (First Update Guaranteed)
Chapter 312 Just for this moment! (First update guaranteed)
The entire Manchester United coaching bench and bench, except for Ferguson, all stood up. They stretched their necks and leaned out their bodies. Some impatient people simply rushed under the coaching bench, waiting to cheer and celebrate. -< Shuhai Pavilion >-Net.
Rooney won this great opportunity for Manchester United.
This penalty not only meant that Manchester United could lead Liverpool by one goal, but the most important thing was to get Skrtel off the field.
That leaves Liverpool with one less person. The next time is still very long. Liverpool, with one player missing, will have to contend with Manchester United for more than 70 minutes. No one thinks that their physical fitness can sustain it for such a long time without problems.
As long as the ball is scored, Manchester United can directly retreat and continue to defend. Then wait for Liverpool's physical problems to arise.
If they continue to press hard on the counterattack, Liverpool will collapse.
In a match against an opponent like Manchester United, if one player is missing for more than 70 minutes, even Liverpool may have to face a lot of pressure.
They were so excited because they saw this wonderful prospect.
Ferguson sat on the bench, not as excited as others.
But no one noticed his hands. The hands on his knees had been clenched into two fists at some point.
※※※
Rooney stood on the line of the penalty area, turning a deaf ear to the curses and boos directed at him from the stands, and did not look at the fans behind the goal.
He raised his head, but his eyes were focused on the goal.
He is waiting for the referee's whistle.
Skrtel had long accepted his fate and reluctantly bid farewell to the court.
However, he did not return directly to the locker room. He stood at the entrance of the passage and looked around.
He wanted to see the result of the penalty kick.
At the price of a red card, isn't what he wants just to give Reina, a goalkeeper who is good at taking penalty kicks, a chance?
As long as Liverpool doesn't concede a goal, even if he is no longer on the court, he will feel more at ease.
※※※
Reina saves penalty kicks well. (-< Shuhai Pavilion >-Net.)
But no matter how good the goalkeeper is at saving penalty kicks, there is no guarantee that he can save any penalty kick.
The referee's whistle finally sounded, Rooney took a run and then kicked the football.
The football did not fly, but flew close to the turf towards the lower left corner of the goal!
This is the most annoying angle for goalkeepers!
Because not only does the center of gravity have to be lowered, but it also has to be thrown far enough.
If this ball goes in, it will be a blind spot!
But this kind of shot is also very likely to miss, because free throw players often pursue angles too much.
Such a thing did not happen to Rooney today. The football he played was accurate and fast.
Although Reiner judged the right direction, the distance was too far and he was beyond his reach.
I can only watch the football flying into the goal against the goal post...
"The ball went in!!"
The commentator roared, igniting the passion of the Manchester United fans. The few Manchester United fans in the Anfield stands and the huge number of Manchester United fans in front of the TV gave a huge cheer.
"Manchester United leads Liverpool 1:0 away from home! The game has only started for 17 minutes!"
"Liverpool, which has always been ahead of other teams, finally tastes being ahead this time!"
"This penalty kick is undisputed. Rooney endured huge pressure and scored the penalty calmly! He is indeed a superstar!"
"Liverpool has Chen Yingxiong! But we at Manchester United are not weak either, we have Wayne Rooney!!!"

Just when Rooney scored the penalty kick, Manchester United's assistant coach Whelan was about to raise his arms and shout.
At this moment he felt himself being pushed aside, and then a figure rushed past him.
That nimble move doesn't look like an old man in his seventies at all...
It's Alex Ferguson!
I saw this old man who had always looked like a dead man before the game, but he rushed out of the coaching bench with a red face, and then took the lead in raising his arms and shouting, looking up to the sky!
Then he excitedly took off all his suits and threw them to the ground. -< Shuhai Pavilion >-Net.
Not only Whelan, but everyone on the Manchester United bench and coaching bench were dumbfounded...
Ferguson turned around, looked at a group of stunned colleagues, and then smiled: "What? Are you unhappy that we are ahead?"
Whelan was the first to react because he was Ferguson's assistant and was naturally the most familiar with Ferguson's style of doing things. So in his mind, he immediately found the reason for Ferguson's abnormal performance during this period - he was deliberately pretending to be cowardly, just for this moment! In order to make Liverpool think that Manchester United is no threat!
This old man... he even deceived one of us!
After reacting, Whelan laughed and rushed off the coaching bench, and then hugged the excited Ferguson.
"Is your heart okay, Jazz?" He also didn't forget to care about Ferguson's health.
Ferguson laughed: "My heart is very happy to see Liverpool unlucky!"
Whelan was completely relieved - this was the Alex Ferguson he was familiar with, this was the coach who had dedicated his life to Manchester United!
He never gave up!
※※※
Not only Whelan and the others, but the television broadcast also captured this scene.
Ferguson's action of rushing down to celebrate was really crazy, not like an old man who was about to retire at all.
Others would have thought it was someone else if the television broadcast hadn't quickly given him a close-up shot.
Ferguson's silver hair was fluttering in the wind, and his face was flushed. It was obvious that he was extremely excited.
Before the game, Ferguson looked like an 80-year-old man, lifeless, but now Ferguson's sudden burst of vitality shocked many people.
"this……"
Most commentators don't know what to say.
There are still smart people who react quickly.
They connected Manchester United's performance in this game and Ferguson's performance at this time with previous performances. After just a brief analysis, they knew what was going on.
"Ferguson is truly an acting master! I think he can try to play some movie roles after retirement! His outstanding performance in the past has deceived everyone!"
"This is the manager of Manchester United! Never miss any opportunity to show off your power to your mortal enemies in their home!"
"This is normal, haha! As the head coach of Manchester United, even if it is the last game, I still have to keep my hatred towards Liverpool full!"
"Ferguson successfully deceived his team and also successfully deceived Liverpool. Let's look at Martin O'Neill's expression..."
The TV broadcast quickly cut to a close-up shot of Martin O'Neill.
The Irishman looked very unhappy.
He stood on the coaching bench, his face gloomy and livid, making no effort to hide his displeasure.
When Rooney scored a penalty for Manchester United and was about to give Skrtel a red card, he didn't realize what the problem was. He was just depressed about his team's bad luck.
But when Ferguson rushed down from the coaching bench and celebrated the goal with an energy beyond his years, he reacted instantly - this was Ferguson demonstrating to himself and to Liverpool!
Do you think I surrendered and gave up? Have you ever laughed at my old age behind my back? Now look who is laughing at whom! !
O'Neal felt like he had been slapped in the face by Ferguson, and half of his face was burning with pain.
He has to admit that he did underestimate Manchester United and the cunning Ferguson! So this slap in the face left him unable to say anything. He had no excuses or reasons, so he could only bear it on his own.
Now all he has to consider is how to reverse the unfavorable situation. First, he has to replace a central defender, but who will he remove?
Everyone in Liverpool's frontcourt attack combination is very important, and no one can be replaced casually.
No matter who replaces him, Martin O'Neal will have a headache.
※※※
In fact, the plan of the Manchester United players was to rush to Ferguson after the goal and then lift him up. In this way, they announced their support for Ferguson and also responded to the long-term Liverpool fans.
But when they just ran over, they saw Ferguson rushing down from the coaching bench, and then there was a wild celebration...
Everyone was stunned.
Many people looked at each other in confusion.
It was the veteran Rooney who was the calmest. He ran towards the coaching bench again and towards Ferguson.
Anyway, this goal is dedicated to Ferguson.
The other players also reacted later - isn't such a passionate head coach what they have been looking forward to?
It seems that Sir Alex is not really saying that he has no confidence in them, but is just putting on a show!
In this scene, he not only deceived them, but also deceived their opponents.
Otherwise, how could Liverpool have given them a chance to counterattack so easily during the game?
Wanting to understand the boss's good intentions, while these people felt guilty for being suspicious and dissatisfied with Ferguson, they also admired their boss even more. For the sake of the team's victory, he actually went to such an extent and endured everyone's misfortune. The scolding, the name-calling. Isn't it just to get this opportunity back?
Thinking of this, everyone's belief in defeating Liverpool became even stronger.
In this game, no matter how huge the price is, no matter what means are used, we must win!
A group of people rushed back after Rooney and then pounced on Ferguson. First he hugged him, then he lifted him high to celebrate the goal.
But this celebration, in the eyes of those Liverpool fans, was like a slap in the face to all of them...
Rooney's penalty brought two positive impacts to Manchester United. One of course is that they scored the ball first and left Liverpool with one less player. The second impact is that everyone saw Ferguson's determination, which also gave them huge confidence. Let them know that head coach Shi is on their side, what else do they have to fear?
After the celebration, the Manchester United players who returned to the pitch did not forget to wave their fists in demonstration to the stunned Liverpool fans in the stands.
Faced with this display of prowess from Manchester United players, Liverpool fans had nothing to do except grit their teeth.
This made them feel even more aggrieved.
The weather was still very good, but they seemed to be in a violent storm.
The feeling of outing is gone at all.
