Chapter 131: A Millimeter

Chapter 131 is a millimeter

Raymond held his head in his hands, clearly regretting that he didn't hit the ball.

Compared to Raymond, Pierre, who was on the sidelines, reacted even more, and the Frenchman almost jumped up, and if this goal was scored, then the game situation would be too favorable for Southampton!

Pierre put himself on the weak side from the beginning, but weakness does not mean admitting defeat, in football, examples of the weak side overturning the strong team abound, although in terms of individual ability, Southampton's players are far worse than Manchester United's stars, but through the right tactical thinking and strong tactical discipline, even the weak team can win the strong team!

'Manchester United have to be careful, Southampton are not without the ability to counter-attack!' For Manchester United, Southampton is a poisonous little shrimp! Although it doesn't seem too difficult for United to beat Southampton, if they are not careful enough, they could be poisoned by the toxins of the shrimp at any time!! Andy Gray sat down in the commentary box, and when Raymond had just shot, the famous English commentator was almost lying on the table watching.

Andy Grey's players don't hear what the United players are saying now, but they quickly realized how powerful the poisonous shrimp is!

Just two minutes after Raymond completed a long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area, Southampton's counter-attack came again!

Di Maria tried to force a cross on the left flank, but Southampton right wing-back Soares stretched out his foot, the ball refracted and flew into the box, which was reached by goalkeeper Foster with high leaps and hands!

Foster then unleashed the unicorn arm, and his powerful hand threw the ball directly to the right edge of the penalty area for Manchester United!

Tadic cut in at high speed and picked up the ball on the wing.

However, Manchester United's speed of defense is not slow! Valencia soon returned to defending on this side.

Italian striker Gabbiadini also ran up at this time, and he went straight to the penalty area!!

At this time, Raymond moved to the wing, although this season Raymond is more active in the middle, but in general, he is always a winger!

Tadic was very accurate in moving the ball, and Raymond stopped the ball and began to cut inside the middle!

Manchester United's defence was in disarray, left wing-back Sandro had to fill in the central defender position at this time, central defender Rojo was in midfield at this time, and it was the defender Herrera who came to this side to fill in!

This clearly gives Southampton a chance!

Raymond's cut inside forced Herrera to follow, and on the left flank, there was a large gap for United!

Southampton right wing-back Soares passed half-time for the first time!!

Carlo Ancelotti rushed to the sidelines, and behind him, Ryan Giggs also frowned, and the opposing full-back was involved in the front assist for the first time! This is a red flag!!

Di Maria also realized his problem, just after the pass was missed, he only cared about regretting in the front court, and Southampton's counter-attack was far faster than he thought!

Although Di Maria is already chasing back at high speed, Manchester United's left side is unguarded at this time!!

Raymond !! Nice passing !!! Soares receives the ball unguarded!!! Andy Gray stood up again!

Soares adjusted his pace as he ran, and it looked like he was going to make a direct cross!

"Press forward!! Marcos !! "Manchester United's defense in the box is thin, Hummels shouts at Rojo!

United's backline moved forward as a whole, and Soares arrived just in time to push the ball into the box with the arch of his right foot!

The soccer ball sticks to the turf and is fast.

In the penalty area, Southampton's Italian striker Gabbiadini was also unguarded at this time, pushing the arch of his feet from close range!!

De Gea couldn't react to this goal, Gabbiadini was just over a meter away from the goal, no matter how fast De Gea reacted, it was impossible to save the ball!

"Gabbiadini !!!!!!"

When the ball was pushed into the goal by Gabbie Bidbidani, the Saints fans at Wembley Stadium were boiling and they jumped out of their seats.

'Southampton scored!! This game is good!! Andy Gray grabbed the microphone and beneath the commentary booth was Southampton's fan gathering area, and the entire stand was trembling with the fans jumping and the other had to hold the microphone with one hand and the table with the other to maintain a good balance.

The screen in front of the TV also shook.

However, Southampton fans soon discovered that they were celebrating early!!

The TV set switches to the linesman, who raises the flag.

"Is this ball offside?" Andy Gray's view of the commentary bench wasn't too good, so he didn't find much of an offside spot for Gabibiaini.

At this time, the referee also ran into the camera lens, only to see him cross his hands and then separate.

Goal nullified!!

"The goal is invalid, the score is still 0-0, Gabibidini's goal doesn't count!!" The Southampton fans below Andy Gray were still in a daze, but Andy Gray calmed down first, "Let's take a look at the replay first, just now it is difficult for us to determine whether Gabbiadini was offside at the moment of Soares' pass. ”

Regardless of whether Gabbiadini was offside or not, Pierre must have been very unhappy, and the Frenchman first ranted at the referee in the stadium before running out of the technical area to protest.

"You'd better hurry back, sir!!" The fourth official warned Pierre.

Fortunately, Pierre knew that his protest should be stopped, otherwise it would not be good to be sent to the stands.

However, Pierre's protest was still very effective, and tens of thousands of Southampton fans booed in the audience, and the pressure on the referee in this situation was very high!

The referees upheld their decision, and they certainly couldn't easily change their decision because of Southampton's protests, otherwise the referees would be in even more trouble after the game...

At this time, the live broadcast signal production agency finally gave the return goal of the goal just now, and the picture was frozen at the moment of Soarez's pass.

At this time, United's defensive formation was just in the forward stage, and Gabbiadini leaned forward, and the United were in the last defender, Rojo, with his right foot dragging behind.

Will it be Gabbiadini's head or Rojo's foot closer to goal?

Even the lines drawn after the frame is frozen are difficult to distinguish.

"Whether this ball is offside or not, I think it will definitely cause people to discuss after the game, and in this millimeter, let alone the linesman, even if it is frozen through the video frame, it is difficult to see." Andy Gray shook his head. This kind of offside decision can always cause a lot of controversy.
