Park Ji-sung looked at the back of Rong Guang holding his head in his hands with some shock.

It really scared him, he didn't expect that after Rongguang got rid of him, he didn't stop the ball at all, but directly pumped the football towards the goal!

If it hadn't been for Van der Sar's brilliant performance, the goal might have gone straight into the goal, in which case the goal would have been his responsibility.

The glory is so strong......

Park Ji-sung had such a feeling in his heart.

"Rong's long-range shot just now was very sudden, he accelerated to the football, and then did not stop the ball, but chose to shoot directly! It was a big surprise to the Manchester United players, and if it weren't for Van der Sar's concentration, United would have fallen behind by now...... Manchester City won a corner for this! ”

At the sound of the commentator, Gareth Barry runs for a corner.

He ran towards the corner flag area as he looked back at the glory.

The kick just now, he just passed it to Rongguang, and he didn't think about causing a goal or anything, but he didn't expect that he almost had an assist......

Glory is indeed ...... Well deserved the name!

I used to be an opponent with him, and I didn't feel as deeply as I do now, after all, good luck in a season is worth meeting him twice.

And now after being teammates with him, this feeling is even stronger, in training, he has already seen how good Rong Guang is, and now in the game, when the stalemate cannot be broken, Rong Guang is so seemingly casual with a direct volley, and the football can actually threaten the goal guarded by Van der Sar......

In his opinion, moving to Manchester City to be a team-mate with him was the right decision. Since it is impossible to defeat him himself, it is better to be his teammate...... Let others have a headache to stop him! I'm liberated anyway!

Gareth Barry ran to the corner flag and placed the ball thrown by the caddie in the corner flag area, then looked into the box.

In the corners, Benitez set up a lot of attacking routines.

However, the exact pattern used depends on the player who takes the corner, and they have a set of codes, which are identified by guò gestures.

It's not an original for Manchester City either, all teams will have it.

So you will see that in a soccer match, there will be a corner kick player who raises his arm before kicking the ball, and it is not the student asking the teacher for permission, it is for his teammates to see.

Barry took a look at the situation in front of the door.

Lucio and Vincent Kompany were packed in front of goal and caught the attention of the vast majority of United defenders, particularly the two centre-backs, Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.

While Vincent Kompany and Lucio are both centre-backs with excellent headers, Gareth Barry has no intention of passing the football to them.

He found glory in the crowd.

With that orb just now, he now believes that Glory is a person who can turn decay into magic.

If you want to score, look for glory.

Glory is indeed an important part of Manchester City's corner kick attacking tactics, and there are several routines around him.

Thinking of this, Barry raised his left hand, and then gave his thumb, index finger, and middle finger.

This is a code to his teammates: this ball, it is an A3 tactic!

The left hand represents A, the right hand represents B, the thumb represents 1, the thumb and index finger are 2, and the thumb, index finger, and middle finger add up to 3.

The A3 tactic is a set of corner kick tactics specially designed for Glory.

All the City players in the box saw the gesture, and Lucio and Kompany glanced at each other and suddenly became active, desperately pushing Leo Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic in front of them, creating tension before the door and drawing the attention of almost all the United players to the two of them.

Sure enough, United stepped up their defence in the middle of the goal.

Then the referee blew the whistle and Gareth Barry ran two steps before kicking the ball, which was straight, not arcing, not flying to the penalty spot in the penalty area, but straight into the goal!

It was thought that this must have been passed to Kompany and Lucio.

Coupled with the fact that two people were entangled with two central defenders in front of goal, it reinforced everyone's impression.

Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic grabbed each other's clothes at the two Manchester City centre-backs and would never let go.

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on the goal, few people noticed that the glory that was originally on the line of the big penalty area suddenly started and accelerated to the front of the goal!

By the time everyone spotted him, he was already in the air!

Everyone looked at him in surprise, especially the Manchester United players, and many of them suddenly remembered that Rong Guang had scored a hat-trick of headers against them!

The thought had barely crossed their minds when they saw the glory fly to the front point, and then ...... Header flick!

When everyone didn't react, the football grazed the front post and flew into the goal on the head of Rafael, who was standing against the goalpost!

Landing glory stumbled slightly, as he was still twisting his body to watch football.

He saw the ball hit the net in the goal and he was sure he had scored.

So he ran to Gareth Barry, who was passing him the ball, with open arms, to hug him.

The sky above Wembley Stadium was filled with the loud cheers of Manchester City fans.

“ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG！！！”

※※※

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Glory! A nice front point lion shakes his head! Manchester United's defensive attention fell on Lucio and Kompany, and no one expected Rong to stab diagonally! Have the Manchester United players forgotten? Rong is the one who once completed a hat-trick of headers on them! John Mortenson shouted excitedly.

Alain Hansen, who was next to him, took the opportunity to rub salt in Manchester United's wounds: "So Manchester United and Rong's hat are really fateful, last season's FA Cup final, they were Rong completed a hat-trick with a free-kick, and before that they were Rong completed a hat-trick with a header...... Gee! ”

As a former Liverpool player, he has never hidden his love for Liverpool and his contempt for Manchester United. This also caused him to attract the displeasure of many Manchester United fans, but Alan Hansen still went his own way and did not mean to explain the game fairly and objectively.

※※※

Gareth Barry raised his arms and shouted when he saw that Glory had literally put the ball in the back of the net.

It's cool! I still had an assist in the end!

Then the glory pounced, and the two of them hugged each other vigorously, as if the incident had never happened a season ago.

Next, more Manchester City players ran in front of the United goal, surrounded them and celebrated with them.

And in the stands behind them, groups of Manchester City fans in blue were also raising their arms and chanting. The lead over the sworn enemy in the same city made them very excited.

※※※

Manchester City players and fans were celebrating the lead, while Manchester United's side were a little depressed.

At the time of Glory's header, there was not a single Manchester United player around him, and goalkeeper Van der Sar didn't even make a save, just raised his hand and the ball flew into the goal. The whole Manchester United showed their lack of resistance in this goal!

Ferguson looked furious, he got up from his seat and rushed to the sidelines, roaring loudly: "Why is no one staring at him!?" ”

There seems to be a reason for his anger, and it was his three headers that helped Bayern Munich knock out Manchester United and reach the Champions League final.

Manchester United are very aware of how good Glory's header is, but why did they forget about defending this corner?

No one on United's side could answer his rants.

In fact, it's not that none of them thought of it, but that no one could keep up with the speed of glory.

Park Ji-sung was in charge of keeping an eye on Glory in the penalty area, but from Glory's sudden start to his jumping up and shaking his head to attack the goal, there was no time for two seconds, how did he react?

The speed of Glory when it started was too fast, one arrow step, the person was gone, and by the time Park Ji-sung found him, he had already taken off into the air, even if Park Ji-sung chased it again at this time, it would be useless, it was too late.

He was so glorious that he didn't even have time to open his mouth and call the police......

※※※

Either way, City opened the deadlock with a set-piece, and Glory, who had only had one shot on goal before, opened the scoring with a header.

Manchester City were in the lead.

This is a perfect start for Benitez's Manchester City.

Because under Benitez's tutelage, Manchester City is better at playing defensive counter-attacks.

With players like Glory and Robinho, it's a waste not to play defensive counter-attacks.

And there is a premise for playing defensive counterattacks, that is, to be ahead in the score.

Now they are ahead.

For Manchester United, the next game will be difficult......

Ferguson stood on the sidelines after scolding, frowning.

He also understands the situation of Manchester United at the moment.

※※※

In the end, Ferguson made a choice, and after conceding the goal, he did not rush to counterattack, but still maintained his current defensive posture and did not continue to concede goals. After all, it has only been 20 minutes before the game starts, and it would be too dangerous to press out and attack at this time, and there will be enough time for Manchester City to score another goal.

City are in high spirits and they can play whatever they want when they attack, and it is more important not to concede goals than to equalise at this time, and it is less difficult to execute.

So he chose this.

But Manchester City is not in a hurry, since it is ahead, let's go around with Manchester United, see who can't bear it first, anyway, it's not them Manchester City who are behind now.

That scoreline remained unchanged until the end of the first half, with City going into the break with a one-goal lead.

And Manchester United's players didn't look particularly good when they left the field, they either lowered their heads so that people couldn't see their expressions at all, or they just pulled their faces.

Not only are they worried about the team's backwardness, they also have to worry about being scolded by Alex Ferguson's hair dryer at half-time!
