Chapter 158: Overtime for the Ghost Gate
Penalty kick!
"The referee awarded a penalty!"
"There was nothing wrong with the decision, Bridge did trip China Dong, his outstretched left foot swept over China Dong's left calf, China Dong went down, there was no problem, it was a penalty."
"Bridge is sleepwalking again, his foul is completely unnecessary, just now as long as he forced China Dong outside and didn't let China Dong run inside, China Dong had no way even if he was in the penalty area, but he chose the most reckless way!"
This time, the referee finally awarded United a penalty, just as the game was coming to an end.
In this game, Manchester United players fell several times in the Chelsea penalty area, but the referee was indifferent and did not give a single penalty, but this time the United finally waited.
This penalty will be fatal.
"Damn it! How could this be a penalty! ”
Mourinho waved his arms wildly on the sidelines, roared directly, completely devoid of any gentlemanly demeanor, and rushed directly to the fourth official, also questioning the fourth official in an almost roaring tone.
"How can this be a penalty?"
At this point, Mourinho doesn't care if it's really a penalty or not, the only thing he has to do is to protest, although such protests are useless, but he has to do it.
If the penalty does go in, it means the game will be over and the two teams will go into extra time, which can pave the way for the next half hour even if they can't fight for anything now.
Chelsea players on the pitch also surrounded the referee in the hope that the referee would change the decision again. Frank Lampard and Thiago were both thrilled, and the two of them were babbling a lot in front of the referee and getting more and more emotional.
Thiago even put his right hand on the referee's shoulder, which made the referee wary and gave him a yellow card.
Frank Lampard saw that the situation was not good, so he pulled Thiago back and the penalty was inevitable.
And just as they circled around the referee, Ferguson secretly made substitutions.
Ruud van Nistelrooy came on and he replaced Wayne Rooney.
At this time, the intention of changing Vanney on the field is very obvious.
Rooney thought he was the first penalty taker on the field, and he just wanted to hold the ball in his arms, but he changed the brand and wrote his shirt number, he had to go off, and the penalty had to be taken by Ruud van Nistelrooy.
It's not him, it's not Cristiano Ronaldo.
To be on the safe side, Ferguson ultimately opted to let Ruud van Nistelrooy take the penalty.
After all, Ruud van Nistelrooy is the most consistent player to take penalties.
And there is a half-hour extra time to play later, which is understandable and there is no problem.
With that, Rooney was off the field and Ruud van Nistelrooy stood in front of the penalty spot.
A world-class star like Ruud van Nistelrooy will certainly not shirk the penalty penalty, although he is under tremendous pressure, which is an honor in itself.
And he was also lacking in goals, hungry to score, and the penalty came at the right time.
The referee cleared the pitch and kicked everyone out of the box, leaving Ruud van Nistelrooy alone.
Vanney's chest heaved violently, and of course he felt a tremendous amount of pressure, he was breathing deeply, releasing ......
He took a bit of a long time to adjust.
Of course, anyone standing in front of the penalty spot would have behaved like that.
It's a goal that will be a goal to reach the Carabao Cup final, and if he misses it, United will say goodbye, and if he puts the ball in, there is hope for United.
Ruud van Nistelrooy didn't go far to get a run, just three steps back, which is his habit of taking penalties.
No player will change his habits easily, but which side will he shoot?
That's something Cech needs to think about, standing in front of goal, taking small steps, waving his hands in an attempt to interfere with Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot.
Petr Cech is a great goalkeeper and that will prove later.
Dong Fangzhuo's mind kept on the ball, and at the same time swept Cech.
He knew that Cech was not so simple, and that this guy who was addicted to penalty kicks had a high probability of saving the ball.
He didn't want Vanney to miss it, but he had to think about it.
So his feet are tight, the strength of his muscles is concentrated in the two calves, and as soon as Vanney shoots, he immediately rushes up, and he wants to be the first to rush to the goal, just in case.
Fanny moves, and the killer makes a move.
The first step was a little slow, the second and third steps instantly increased the speed of the run, and the moment he shot, he still chose the bottom left corner of the goal, which was his favorite position.
As long as the football is fast enough, Cech will be able to judge the right direction and will not be able to do anything.
It was just that at the moment before he touched the ball, Cech took the first step to the left, he did not wait for Vanney to kick, but took the initiative to choose to guess, she chose to bet!
Bet on Vanney to hit the bottom left corner of the goal!
He guessed it right, it's that simple.
He smiled happily as he slapped the ball out with both hands.
But at that moment, his smile froze in the air.
The smile turned into consternation, fear!
Because Dong Fangzhuo's figure appeared in front of him, his right foot was lightly raised, and the ball he slapped out with both hands flew back and flew back into the goal......
Yes!
Mourinho, who was glaring angrily on the sidelines, couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
This teenager has killed Chelsea again!
The miracle created by Cech did not appear! The penalty he saved was not the final result, and the little devil in front of him finally made up for it.
No one was faster than him, he was like a phantom ghost, teleporting in front of goal to make up for the mistakes made by Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Vanney should have been the first to make up shots, but in the end it was Dong Fangzhuo.
“Goooooal!”
“Gooooooooal!”
“Gooooooooooooooooooal!”
Slow-motion replays, and Lineke looks at the camera incredulously.
In the replay, at the moment when Vanney shot, Dong Fangzhuo also bounced out of the edge of the penalty area in time!
It's so fast, it's staggering.
The Old Trafford crowd were happy, desperate the moment Cech saved the spot-kick, only to burst into cheers again a second later.
Dong Fangzhuo didn't let despair appear!
Compared to the free kick goal just now, this penalty kick is more exciting and exciting!
United came back from the devil's door and a draw allowed them to go into extra-time with Chelsea, if there were no surprises in the final half minute.
Both teams were very tacit and let all the time go by.
Overtime!
Because both teams are tied 2-2 home and away, they can only play extra time, and if extra time is not yet decided, then there will be a penalty shootout!
