Chapter 61: Lore

"Li Qingshan! Header, this goal went in!! Unbelievable!!! FC United equalised!! Zhang Jun seems to have gone crazy, "This is Li Qingshan's eighth goal in the FA Cup main stage, and in the four rounds of the FA Cup, he scored twice in each game, covering all the goals of FC United." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"It was a beautiful goal." Li Tie took over the conversation on the side, "This ball completely shows his strengths, height, bounce, and strength. Although he is two centimeters shorter than Smalling, we see that after they jumped up at the same time, Li Qingshan was actually half a head taller than Smalling, and under the interference of Smalling's hand movements, he made such a powerful header, which shows that his waist and abdominal strength is very good! ”

"The time for this goal is the 81st minute of the game, and in the next 112 minutes, if FC United can save this draw, then according to the rules of the FA Cup, the two sides will return to FC United's home stadium and choose a time to replay! Forcing Manchester United to draw at home is a great achievement for FC United! Zhang Jun said.

And at this time, the Chinese Internet is already boiling.

"Damn, this is in, it's awesome!"

'Two goals in this game, two goals for Manchester United!'

"I scored two in the last game, and it was Liverpool!!"

"This kind of performance will definitely be noticed by European clubs!!"

"Maybe Camacho will recruit him to the national team when he sees his performance!!"

"Upstairs thinks it's Camacho who has the final say on whether he can get into the national team or not........."

Regardless of the reaction of the Chinese side, the Manchester United fans at home are a little confused anyway. Originally, the team had been attacking around the opponent, but in the blink of an eye, it was broken through by a quick counterattack, and most importantly, it was equalized by the opponent?

Old Trafford was quiet for a moment, and the sounds of the FC United players celebrating were clearly transmitted through the camera.

Manchester United's manager Alex Ferguson was so depressed at the moment that he brought in three players and was ready to replace them in one go. He first replaced Anderson, who had just conceded a goal in midfield, with Scholes, then replaced Nabuchuan Nani, who had been immersed in his world for dozens of minutes, with Giggs, and then replaced Rafael with Valencia.

Even if he didn't yell on the sidelines, the United players knew Sir Alex Ferguson's displeasure with their performance during this period, especially the three players who were substituted, all running off the pitch with their heads down, and it is estimated that the hair dryer will be served after the game.

After such a change in the game, Manchester United were left with only three defenders on the field, and they put on a strong attacking formation of 343.

With more than 10 minutes left in the game, with Manchester United's attacking power, they are capable of using those 10-plus minutes to equalise.

Sure enough, after the substitutions, Manchester United's attacking look was completely new. FC United's players seem to be back to the time they started with, struggling to survive United's stormy attack.

United's attack quickly paid off, and after a series of links down the middle, substitute Ryan Giggs found a shot on the left side of the penalty area, and he fired a low shot into the far corner of the goal, but goalkeeper James fell to the ground in time to pounce the football to the sidelines, and when the football was about to go out of the line, Hernandez, a nimble pea, sprang out of the aesthetic direction and swept the ball that was about to go out of the bottom line in front of the goal. Rooney, who caught up in the middle, made a flying tackle, and the ball changed direction and bounced towards the goal.

However, Hernandez's pass across the middle was slightly faster, and although Rooney was on the line when the ball changed direction, it was also slightly off the other post, and if Rooney had been faster, the ball would have been 100% knocked into the net, and goalkeeper James had saved his first shot still lying on the edge of the other post. It's an empty opportunity.

Rooney, who missed the opportunity, slapped the turf and got up from the ground in frustration, turned and gave Hernandez a thumbs up.

The FC United players who escaped were in shock, and Manchester United's attack was immediately back in action.

James kicked the ball forward, Li Qingshan tried to stop the high ball, but stopped a little farther away from his body, and the football was taken away by Evra's forward kick.

Manchester United continued to besiege FC United, and for a while, there was a lot of noise in front of the goal. Despite the danger in front of goal, the FC United players gritted their teeth and barely kept up with the rhythm of Manchester United, supported by the belief that they held on to the draw.

In the 86th minute, Carrick distributed the ball to Valencia on the wing, Valencia did not stop the ball, and directly moved the ball forward to shake off the defender with his speed, and then passed the ball to the penalty area with a flat volley.

Hernandez in the box pulled out to meet the ball and shoot, but his shot was blocked by Adam Jones with his chest, and Scholes stopped the ball outside the box and fired a long-range shot straight into the corner, just when someone thought the ball would shoot into the net, the football turned slightly in the air, hit the post and bounced back, and was cleared by a panicked Dean Stott.

In just a few minutes, United had created a couple of chances that were almost certain to score, but in those few minutes, Lady Luck was not on their side, allowing every shot to come close to the goal.

In the 88th minute, David Butch was shown a yellow card for a tackle on Shinji Kagawa from just outside the box, and United were given a free-kick opportunity in a good position to go straight to goal.

Rooney's free-kick was of high quality, bypassing the defender's wall and heading straight to the left corner, James did not react after the ball was given, he moved half a step to the right of the opponent's serve, and it was this half step that made him misjudge, and it was difficult to immediately adjust the center of gravity back to the left.

However, the ball looked like it was about to drill into the net, but it made a slight turn at the last moment, hit the post again and bounced off the bottom line, and Rooney, who was already ready to celebrate the goal, held his head in his hands in disbelief. It was the second time in a short period of time that the post had hit the post, and the Theatre of Dreams post wasn't on the home side's side today, so it's no wonder Hernandez, who was closest to the post, ran up and kicked the post twice.

After the goal, James was shown a yellow card by the referee for delaying the opening kick, at which point the fourth official on the sideline raised the stoppage time sign.

Stoppage time: 5 minutes!!

FC United fans who watched the game from the sidelines couldn't help but boo, the game was neither a frequent foul, nor a player injury delayed time, the overall progress was still very smooth, and there was no possibility of a five-minute injury stoppage.

However, this is Manchester United's home stadium after all, and the referee still gave the home team a little preferential treatment.

However, as soon as the fourth official raised the sign, a player fell in the FC United penalty area, and the FC United player signaled to his teammates to cramp and asked the referee to stop the game.

This time it was the turn of the United fans to boo, which was a clear act of delaying.

It was Jack Cottrell who was cramping, but he wasn't pretending, he did have cramps, and after almost a whole game at this pace, his fitness was at its limit.

The team doctor quickly entered the stadium, treated him briefly, and helped him back to the field. It was the ninety-first minute of the game. Many United fans who had been sitting in their chairs watching the game had already stood up and watched anxiously on the pitch.

Smalling and Jones have both been pushed up to the edge of the box as central strikers, leaving Patrice Evra with a defender at the back of the field in addition to goalkeeper David De Gea.

United now run out of patience to organise their attacks, and the players have lost that patience and have started to play high balls into the box frequently.

Time passed slowly, and more than three minutes passed quickly.

As the clock ticked to the 95th minute, FC United fans outside the stadium stood up in anticipation of the referee's whistle blowing for the end of the game.

'It's been 95 minutes, Manchester United are attacking with the ball, the referee can blow the whistle at any time, but he still looks like he's going to give United a chance to attack, Ferguson is already on the sidelines, I don't know if United can score in Ferguson time.' Zhang Jun also watched the game quite nervously.

It was supposed to be United's last attack, with Paul Scholes receiving a pass from the edge of the box and observing the form in the box. A straight kick was given to Hernandez's feet.

Pea received the ball and turned to shoot a shot that Jack Cottrell flew in after a short break on the sidelines to try to stop it.

However, instead of tackling the ball, he slid it onto Hernandez's right foot.

Jack Cottrell knew it was terrible when he tackled, his tackle was deformed due to his reduced fitness, and his body did not block the line of the shot as he wanted, but landed directly on the opposition player's feet.

Foul in the box, penalty !!!

FC United players surrounded the referee to plead, but to no avail, the goal was indeed a foul by Jack.

After the referee awarded a penalty, he also pulled out a red card and gave it to Jack Cottrell.

The final moments of the game. Manchester United were awarded a penalty.

Wayne Rooney came to take the penalty and after a few steps, he slotted home the ball with ease.

In the ninety-sixth minute of the game, United took the lead again on penalties.

After the goal was scored, the referee blew the whistle for the whole game.
