Chapter 132: Super Long Distance

Manchester United fans breathed a sigh of relief that regardless of whether the decision was correct or not, the current United did not concede a goal.

Ancelotti didn't have it easy, though.

Although the goal was not scored, it only showed that United were lucky. Before this goal, Southampton had had two or three similar counter-attack opportunities, which means that if Manchester United did not have enough countermeasures for Southampton's counter-attack, then this game would definitely not be less than the current scene!!

Gabbiadini looked confused, and he was very puzzled that his goal was blown out.

However, the Italian's English is not very good, and he can only shout at the referee: "ay?!!! ”

Marina ignored Gabbiabini's protests, he waved his hand, signaling Gabbiabini to stop being verbose and let the game start quickly!

Ancelotti's fears are not unfounded.

Manchester United also launched a counterattack immediately after conceding a goal, but their goal was not yet in coming, and Southampton's counter-attack was again!!

"Raymond !!"

At the roar of the commentator, the fast Raymond burst forward with the ball, began to cut inside the middle when he hit the edge of the penalty line, and then cut in from the left before the United defence could settle down!! Football is blocked by De Gea!!

"Southampton came prepared for this game!!"

As the commentator said, Southampton have been without a game for two weeks and for those two weeks they have been fully focused on preparing for this game.

Manchester United, on the other hand, has only a day and a half to really prepare for this League Cup.

One side is prepared to wait for work, while the other side is frequent events and rushes into battle, and it is not surprising that this game is played like this!

A Southampton corner was followed and this time Southampton failed to threaten and the ball was picked up by De Gea.

David De Gea held the ball, his right hand outstretched, palm down, and made a slight downward motion, signaling his team-mates to slow down the pace of the game first, during which Southampton's continuous attacking efforts put United's backline to the test.

"Fifteen minutes into the game, and from the start of the game to the present, although they have won the vast majority of the game at Manchester United, in terms of the number of times they have threatened the opposition goal, Southampton has been more numerous. After a busy period of fixtures, the United players look a little tired, and Southampton are waiting for a hard time, so the final result of this game is really hard to say! Andy Gray sat down, and as a veteran commentator, he knew that the next few minutes would probably be dull.

In fact, this is also true.

Southampton's successive counter-attacks made Manchester United's side jealous, and they were not in a hurry to attack at first, but wanted to take control of the game and wear off some of the opponent's sharpness first.

Southampton do want to strike while the iron is hot and try to get a few more counter-attacks. However, after Manchester United took the initiative to slow down the tempo, Southampton did not dare to press too hard - they are not as strong as Manchester United, and if they press too much, the space behind them will definitely be used by Manchester United.

Manchester United controlled the ball, the game slowed down, and Southampton naturally had no chance to counter-attack.

However, Southampton is not in a hurry, and Manchester United will attack sooner or later. Because if Manchester United maintain such a scene until the end, it will only be a 0-0 draw, and if there is a penalty shoot-out, Southampton will not be afraid of Manchester United at all. The penalty shoot-out is too fortuitous, and it is not a question of testing the strength of the players on both sides at this time. If the game could be turned into a matter of luck, Southampton might have a better chance of winning.

Manchester United certainly can't accept a 0-0 situation and go to the mud of being pulled to penalties by Southampton, they are much stronger and they have to take the initiative to attack and try to settle the battle in regulation time.

Nobody wants to be on the penalty spot!

In the seventeenth minute, United gradually tried to launch a wave of attacks again, and after a few minutes of patient passing, Southampton's formation had completely shrunk back and they were slowly pressed back into the box by Manchester United.

Li Qingshan retreated to receive the ball, and with the space on both sides being closely watched by Southampton, it was difficult for United to get a good chance of crossing from the wing.

And if it is a direct pass from the back, the success rate of the goal is actually not high, and it also needs to risk being counter-attacked after conceding the goal, and now Manchester United is afraid of Southampton's counter-attacking ability.

Li Qingshan took a few steps forward after taking the ball, and now he is about forty meters away from the goal, probably because the Southampton players do not think that Li Qingshan will choose to shoot at this distance, so they did not go up to defend.

Li Qingshan originally wanted to distribute the ball to the side and organize another attack.

But as soon as he took the ball, he immediately changed his mind.

It's a good chance to shoot!!

Li Qingshan looked at Southampton's goal, looking at it from a distance of forty meters, the length of the goal is very small, if you want to shoot at this distance, it is more difficult to shoot within the range of the goal.

However, Li Qingshan wants to try it, his long-range shooting skills are outstanding in today's football, coupled with his super shooting power, Li Qingshan's long-range shooting is difficult for goalkeepers to handle.

Li Qingshan came back to get the ball, and Pogba handed the ball to Li Qingshan. He turned forward........ It's to... Shot?! The commentator was also shocked, after all, this is close to forty meters away from the goal!

However, judging from Li Qingshan's movements, he is really going to shoot!

Li Qingshan adjusted his pace, he stared at the football tightly, and the muscles in his whole body tensed.

Southampton's players also reacted, and Romeu was ready to rush up to block Li Qingshan's shot.

But it's too late!!

Li Qingshan's right leg hit the middle of the football like a whip!

The ball barely spun at all, rose from the ground, pierced through the thick air, and flew towards the goal!!

Football is going up and down!

Southampton fans are starting to breathe a sigh of relief, the ball is about to fly out...

But just after the ball flew up in the air for some distance, it began to fall rapidly!!

Foster had his eyes on the ball, and in fact he didn't have much time to react because it was so fast.

The soccer ball began to swing from side to side under the action of the air, and when it was known that it began to fall, the line of the soccer began to become clear!!

It's the right!!

Foster didn't hesitate to pounce!!

The ball did fly to the right, but just in front of the goal, the ball fell to the ground again, and when the ball bounced again, the speed of the ball suddenly increased, and there was a slight change of direction.

There was nothing Foster could do at this point, and the ball flew at his feet and into the goal......
