Chapter 730: Miracles of Might
At the moment when Cristiano Ronaldo picked up his right foot to hit the goal, Rooney suddenly accelerated forward, and he firmly believed that he and his good friend Cristiano Ronaldo's tacit understanding for many years would definitely notice his forward run.
Really!
In the moment when Wayne Rooney and Carvalho were about to go parallel, Cristiano Ronaldo switched to a pass and used the arch of his right foot to pass the ball to Rooney's forward path.
Then came the cheers of the United fans, as Wayne Rooney picked up his left foot into the far corner and rolled the ball into the right post against the inside.
Rooney was very excited after the goal, he turned a corner and ran to the corner area on the left side of his attack to play a sliding rail celebration, then leaned forward on the turf, and then Cristiano Ronaldo ran over excitedly and patted him on the head.
"Wayne Rooney!! He combined with Cristiano Ronaldo to break through Chelsea's solid backline, and then he was very clever to play into the far corner against the onrushing Petr Cech to make it 1-1!! I believe that this goal will definitely give Manchester United's players a lot of confidence......"
'While all of us were looking at Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, we ignored that he was a full-back turned-finisher and his passing skills were so good that Chelsea made the fatal mistake of not keeping Wayne Rooney in front!'
"The combination of Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney is really great, I remember that the Manchester United goal in last year's Champions League final was Rooney assisting Cristiano Ronaldo's header, and this time it was Cristiano Ronaldo who reciprocated the favor and assisted his friend! It's an interesting game......"
"Real Madrid are said to be ready to start talks to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo after the start of the summer transfer window, but at this point I have to say that Cristiano Ronaldo is much more important than a cash check, and good players are always hard to come by, especially since he is only 24 years old and has at least four seasons left in his prime ......"
……
All the commentators who supported United gave their praise to the golden pair of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney at this time.
Immediately, the camera locks on Iroh's face again, as if trying to find a clue on his face.
Unfortunately, Iroh had a very flat expression on his face, as if it was not Chelsea who had conceded the goal, but a third team.
And Ferguson, who was standing on the sidelines, hugged his assistant excitedly, chewing gum, and his whole face was red.
※※※
Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney glanced at Iello as they ran back to their own half, but with the lessons of last season's Champions League final, the two of them did not make any provocative moves towards Iro, just glanced at them slightly.
But what Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney didn't expect was that Iello thought they were completely ignoring him, so he was determined to go all out to surpass the score again.
If the two of them knew what Iroh was thinking, I wonder if they would go crazy?
Chelsea were looking to take advantage of the final bits of the first half to put the scoreline back up, but the United players were clearly wise enough to concede before the end of the first half, so there could be no holes in defence at this crucial time.
Of course, there are no absolutes.
Ferguson, who was standing on the field, did not feel happy because of the equaliser, but kept telling the players on the pitch to concentrate, otherwise it would hurt morale even more if he conceded another goal before the end of the first half.
The 45 minutes of regulation time of the first half were quickly completed, but the referee did not blow the whistle for the end of the first half as the fourth official raised the electronic card for a minute of stoppage time.
Originally, according to the thinking of the Chelsea players, they wanted to quickly overtake the score on the field, but seeing Manchester United's defensive posture, they had to change their strategy and chose to hand over the decisive battle to the second half.
But in order to be able to exceed the score again, Iroh retreated to a deep position to get the ball.
'If there are no surprises, the two sides will go into the dressing room with a score of 1-1 and to be honest, ending the half with a draw is a credit to Cristiano Ronaldo, who fought really hard in the first half, but the shot was always narrowly off, but his pass was at the feet of Rooney and he scored.
'There's not much time left, a little more than half a minute, will the first half end with this scoreline? Will there be any surprises? ”
"A minute of stoppage time in the first half, almost halfway through the time, but looking at the frenzy that erupted on the scene, it didn't seem like it would end in a draw."
※※※
Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, had already discussed with Villas-Boas how to make tactical adjustments at half-time, but after seeing Iroh dangling not far away, and then reaching out to his team-mate for the ball.
Still want to hurry up and attack?
So he ignored Boas's words and glanced up at the time of the game on the big screen - 45:26, with half a minute left.
"Huh? Ai is still actively pulling back to ask for the ball, does he still want to exceed the score again before the end of the first half? ”
BBC commentator Lineker raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully.
In his mind, Iroh is the kind of player who races against the clock and never misses any chance that could lead to a goal, which means that as long as there is time in the game, then he will do his best to put the ball into the opponent's goal and help the team win the game!
Also surprised by Aillo's enthusiasm was CCTV commentator Liu Jianhong, who said: "There is less than half a minute left in the first half of injury time, and many Chelsea players have already wanted to use up the last half minute, but Iroh is still actively returning to his own half to get the ball, why is that? This is a question worth pondering......"
Arlo dropped back to get the ball, but Park Ji-sung didn't follow this time, but chose the same strategy as Carrick and Scholes, standing in the 30-metre area of his own side and waiting for Chelsea's attack.
Liu Jianhong habitually said: "Many so-called experts in China are studying why Ailo will succeed abroad, in fact, the reason is very simple, look at the fact that most of the players have given up and he is still actively seeking the ball to attack, and then look at our domestic players, they are eager for the referee to blow the game time immediately, so as not to consume their physical ......"
Frank Lampard saw that Ielo was actively seeking the ball for an attack, and hesitated for a moment before passing the ball over to you.
But then he shook his head, in his own perception, only the last half minute of injury time is the wisest choice, not to mention the small chance of attacking again to score, and the possibility of being counterattacked by the opponent is a completely thankless choice.
It was only because of Elo's huge influence on the team that he had to pass the ball over because of Elo's status in the team.
Iello received the ball and turned to face the direction of Manchester United's goal, except for Drogba and Anelka who took the initiative to attack forward, the other teammates were slowly running forward and had no intention of attacking actively.
Ballack really wanted to support Iroh, but because of his age, his physical energy was already very depleted, so he could only watch Iroh carry the ball forward from behind.
It's good to be young!
Dribbling the ball until the 35-meter offensive area, Airo met Park Ji-sung's defense, but he didn't hit it hard, but flicked the ball to the right front with the outside instep, and then suddenly accelerated forward from Park Ji-sung's ribs.
Park Ji-sung turned around and subconsciously pulled the shirt behind Iro's back, but he just grabbed a handful of air!
Looking at the back of Ailuo who was speeding up suddenly, Park Ji-sung was stunned for a moment, he really couldn't understand why Airo was still desperately moving forward until now, don't you know that there are only three of you involved in the attack? And we have a solid defensive system of eight people, which is nothing more than an attack with an egg.
Iroh suddenly picked up speed and crossed Park Ji-sung's defensive range, Drogba slammed the ball to the right with his right heel with his back against Carrick, and Iroh took the ball forward.
Carrick quickly turned and spun to the ground to shovel at Iello's feet, but at Iroh's lightning speed, he only shoveled out two large chunks of turf from the new Wembley Stadium.
"Ai!" Lineker suddenly realized that something was going on this time, so he shouted.
After passing Carrick, Scholes rushed over from the ribs to defend, but Iroh suddenly stopped and changed direction on the spot, Scholes knew that his position could not be easily broken by Iroh again, so he stretched out his short leg and kicked at Iro's support leg, but his result was the same as Park Ji-sung and Carrick, feeling that he was always half a beat slower, only kicking a ball of air.
Vidic gestured to Leo Ferdinand and didn't hesitate to pull out to defend Iro.
However, at this moment, Iroh suddenly picked up his right foot about 30 meters from the goal.
Where does Vidic not know what Iroh wants to do? He jumped up from afar and blocked the shot.
Boom~~~~~
The soccer ball passed past Vidic's ears like a cannonball, and he could even hear the whistling sound of the soccer ball running at high speed.
Van der Sar was well prepared and made an instant save in the face of the ball that appeared in the blink of an eye.
From his years of experience, the ball was powerful but not angled, and he was confident that he could save it.
But...... When Van der Sar's fingertips actually touched the ball, his pupils shrank sharply, and his right hand didn't even move the ball off the flight path.
Immediately, he felt pain in his fingertips.
Ten fingers to heart, with years of experience, he knows...... I broke my finger!
The football plunged headlong into the net under the gaze of all the fans at the scene.
