Chapter 60: Equaliser
Chapter 60 equalizes
"Bang ........."
Li Qingshan's instep slammed into the center of the football, like an arrow off the string, as fast as a thunderbolt, flying towards the goal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The arrow pierced Raphael's legs and grass clippings raised in the air as he tried to stop the shovel, as well as De Gea's subconsciously raised hands and his brown hair, which was blown up by the wind as the football flew by.
The young United goalkeeper turned his head to see the ball crashing into the net at Old Trafford, and the fans at the Theatre of Dreams behind the net.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!” At this time, half of the butt has already left the seat. Gray stood up from the commentary box, "FC United equalized!!" Now the score is 2:1 and this game is not over yet, it is not over yet!! ”
"The scorer is...... Li Qingshan!! The super striker of FC United scored twice in the first three games of this FA Cup, including Hereford United from the second division, Mephistopheles in the fifth division, and Liverpool in the Premier League!! And now, he has scored Manchester United's goal again!! Phenomenal striker! ”
After the goal, Li Qingshan stood in place, opened his arms and raised his arms and shouted, he won the bet, Manchester United paid the price for their carelessness!
Dean Stott rushed up, jumped on Li Qingshan's back, and roared in his ear. Then came Jack Cottrell, David Butch, Jerome Wright, Lee Neville..........
Even head coach Marginson rushed up, his blazer had been left behind him, and his tie was pulled messily, and he just yelled and rushed over, Roy Sol in the back, and all the players on the bench. They celebrated the goal with all their might. At 2:1, they came back to the score, although they were still one goal behind, but it was not as desperate as two goals down, they seemed to see a glimmer of light again.
Compared to FC United's crazy celebration under their noses, Manchester United's players looked a little helpless, this ball was caused by their own passing error, which was equivalent to giving the opponent a goal, Rafael made a big mistake for his underdog.
Coach Alex Ferguson on the sidelines was quite dissatisfied with the ball, such a conceded goal was really undeserved, Rafael is a player he is very optimistic about, but the disadvantage is that the play is very emotional and frizzy. The same is true of this goal just now.
The madness of FC United also made Manchester United's players look quite unhappy. Even this small amateur team dares to brush Manchester United's tiger whiskers like this, and it seems that they need to score a few more goals to completely convince them.
If the score is 1-0, the players don't have these thoughts in their minds. However, when the score becomes 2:1, although the side is still one goal ahead, the mentality of the players will change.
This is the case with Manchester United's winger Nani, for example. After the restart, Nani took the ball on the right flank and broke through all the way, broke through to the edge of the penalty area line and shot directly, completely ignoring Rooney and others who were waiting for his cross in the middle.
You must know that Nani was nicknamed "Na Bu Chuan" by Chinese fans, which means that after his temper came up, he was alone and prodigal. Just like it is now.
After pulling back a goal, FC United returned to defending in the box, as they had always done, but Manchester United did not fall as slowly as before, and they still wanted to teach FC United a lesson.
They began to speed up the pace of passing, trying to play the same stormy and fast attack as at the beginning of the first half, but when the football passed to Nani's feet several times and did not come out again, Nani's first choice was to break through with the ball, and when Nani stopped to make a breakthrough, Manchester United's attack slowed down, due to the small space, Nani's breakthrough was often a wave of shots or a forced cross to end hastily. It's like a high-speed train that suddenly has a car out of touch.
This sentiment gradually infected the rest of Manchester United's players, and even the little pea who was supposed to grab a point in the box frequently pulled out of the box to shoot long, but the quality of the shot without space could not be guaranteed, either with anti-aircraft guns, or by the players of FC United desperately blocked it.
It's the kind of rhythm that FC United like, they all hoard defending at the back, and if the opposition often goes it alone, they have enough defenders to fill the space, so it is not so difficult for them to defend.
Manchester United seemed to have lost their previous good fortune, and the chances they created were saved by FC United one by one.
The game time also came to the 80th minute minute by minute. Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson sat comfortably in the dugout. He's not one of those young and vigorous hairy boys on the pitch, his team is still one goal ahead, and now the team is besieging FC United, the opponent has been completely compressed in the penalty area, and there is no chance to counterattack.
Manchester United did not have much consumption in this game, although they were scored by the opponent in the second half, and the rhythm of the game after that was still controlled by Manchester United, but they played a little more personal role. However, with just over ten minutes left in the game, Ferguson is ready to replace a few key players on the pitch and send a few young players to feel the atmosphere at home.
However, he had just moved the idea of substitution, and the situation on the field suddenly changed dramatically.
After Anderson got the ball in the middle of the midfield, he was ready to play with David Butch who came up to defend, but he was just about to make a bicycle move, and David Butch came up and put the tackle in the end!
Anderson was taken to the ground, which in his opinion must have been a foul, so he sat on the ground and gestured to the referee to warn the referee for a rough tackle.
However, when he saw the referee's gesture of signaling him to get up and continue the game, he realized that the referee did not give a foul on this ball!?
David Butch left the ball at his feet after a tackle, he didn't let the ball stay at his feet for long, and after observing the position of his team-mate, he passed the ball diagonally to Jack Cottrell, who was cutting in at high speed on the wing, Jack Cutrell received the ball on the right flank, and he did not continue to dribble the ball forward, but passed it directly into the United penalty area.
In the middle, Li Qingshan threw off his long legs and struggled forward, and next to him was Smalling, who was closely following him back to the defense. David Butch kicked off the ball and raced from his own back to the United penalty area. By this time Jack Cottrell's pass had already fallen.
Li Qingshan and Smolin jumped at the same time, but Smolin was completely suppressed by Li Qingshan in the confrontation and bouncing of the body, he didn't touch the football at all, and Li Qingshan jumped up half a head taller than him! He could only reach out in the air and try to interfere with Li Qingshan's header.
However, this had no effect, Li Qingshan's waist and abdomen strength far exceeded his thoughts, even under his pushing interference, Li Qingshan still completed the header rush.
The ball changed direction after being flung in the air by Li Qingshan, and accelerated towards the far post, De Gea flew up, but the ball had already circled the palm of his hand. Crashed into the net behind him!!
