Chapter 886: Arc

No matter how incredible this scene is, the facts are the facts, and the facts are that Glory is standing alone in front of the football and setting himself up to kick a free kick.

The referee blew the whistle when he saw that the wall was lined up and the penalty takers were in place.

A whistle blows, and the glory runs.

Everyone's eyes were firmly on him, and many people's eyes were still incredible.

It was a historic moment – Young's first free-kick in his career!

Judging from his running movements, it's quite professional......

After two steps, Glory's right foot landed on the right side of the ball, and then at the same time, his body leaned back slightly, his arms spread out to maintain his balance.

Twisting the waist and abdomen, he drove the left leg over, the outer instep of the left foot was slightly twisted outward, the ankle was firmly fixed, and the posture remained stable and motionless.

Then, the inside of the left foot slammed into the lower left side of the ball.

The football was kicked into the air.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the football, and they saw the football fly into the far corner, stepping over the human wall from above!

The wall jumped, but was unable to stop the ball at all.

The ball flew over their heads, and some of the Manchester United players who jumped high could even feel the wind blowing over their heads and blowing their hair......

Call!

When Van der Sar was directing the wall, he didn't know the habit of taking free-kicks from Rongguang, so he followed the general rule and asked the wall to seal the near corner of the goal as much as possible, while he himself stood in the slightly back corner, which was a very normal choice.

So that when the ball flies over, he only needs to take a step and then take off in the air to ensure that the ball is pounced. Because he is tall and has long arms, he has to stand very far in the middle, like some of the diminutive goalkeepers.

But when he saw the ball flying from behind the wall, he didn't immediately move towards the near corner. Because he found that football seemed to ...... It's coming for the side you're on......

So he hesitated, shouldn't it be a curling ball?

Of course, there are many types of free kicks, but the highest proportion is the curveball, which is commonly known as the "banana ball", which means that the trajectory drawn by the football in the air is like the arc of a banana.

If Rong Guang had never taken a free kick before, he would have opted to take a curling kick, as this kind of ball is also the best to play.

But how did the football fly towards itself? Is it a powerful shot type?

But looking at the action he just shot, he didn't want to attack the goal vigorously......

How so?

Shall I continue to pounce on the near corner?

These thoughts instantly popped into Van der Sar's mind, and he couldn't make up his mind.

And just when he couldn't make up his mind, the football in the air changed.

The soccer ball that was supposed to fly towards him suddenly hung up after jumping over the human wall!

Cornered to the near corner!

It's really a banana ball!

Van der Sar was taken aback, but it was too late for him to make another save, he didn't even have time to jump, he just stood there and turned to watch the ball fly into his goal......

※※※

"Young's direct free-kick, see how he hits......" John Mortensen had just finished saying when he saw Glory shoot with his feet.

In the eyes of Van der Sar, a world-class goalkeeper, each process of flying football can be divided into steps, which are then analysed to produce a result that he can make a save.

So he was caught off guard when he saw the ball first fly straight towards him, and then turned around in the air.

But in fact, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, it is only a second from the time the glory kicks the football to the time the football flies into the goal.

So what you see is that the football draws a very obvious arc in the air, goes around the human wall, and then falls, and drills into the goal.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar didn't move, just turned his head to send the ball in......

"Pretty!! Rong-!! ”

John Mortensen raised his arms and shouted.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!”

"Brilliant free-kick!" Alan Hansen couldn't help but shout. "It's beautiful! Who would have thought that Rong could kick such a free-kick when he was standing in front of this football? Perfect arc, height, speed and arc are very, very suitable! ”

"That's right! It was a completely unexpected goal from the Manchester United side, and you can see how surprised Van der Sar was when he stood in front of the goal and didn't move...... ' said John Mortensen.

After kicking the ball, Rongguang tilted his body and looked at the goal, he also wanted to see if the football had scored, and the human wall blocked part of his view.

He saw the ball fly into the goal with unmistakable accuracy, just as he had done so many times in training.

So he clenched his fists and swung them hard.

It's done!

As soon as he turned around, the excited Manchester City teammates had already pounced, and he was hit by Elano to the fullest, almost being knocked down directly, and he took several steps back in a row to stabilize his body.

But more teammates have rushed up.

"Well done, Rong!"

"You surprise them! Hahaha, look at their expressions! It's so cool! ”

Van der Sar froze in place! He didn't expect you to take a free kick at all!! ”

They shouted excitedly as if they had scored the goal themselves.

They were able to see the effort that Glory put into the free-kicks, and the crazy training made everyone bow down in front of him.

Although he had never taken a free-kick in a game before, no one among his team-mates would doubt his ability because they all knew that Glory was so good!

※※※

"Manchester City lead Manchester United 1-0! The goal is Rong! He blasted Manchester United open the scoring with a direct free-kick! This is a bit of a surprise! Because there was no goal record for a free kick before...... Not to mention scoring, he doesn't even have a record of taking a free-kick! ”

Young's goal caught United off guard, and City took the lead just a dozen minutes into the FA Cup game. For a team like Manchester City, what they love most is to play this kind of tailwind...... The next game is not going to be easy for Manchester United, considering that since the beginning of this year, when Manchester City have taken the lead in the game, they have never lost! ”

Ferguson stood in front of the dugout, staring blankly at the City players cheering and celebrating.

He never imagined that Rongguang would kick a free kick.

To say that this ball is covered with glory...... Ferguson didn't believe it, and it was okay for the reporter to write it out and deceive the idiot, and ask him to think that it was glorious...... That's self-deception!

Look at the interaction between Hamann and Elano before this free kick, there was an exchange between them, although Ferguson didn't know what they talked about, but from Hamann and Elano simply left, giving the penalty opportunity to Glory can be seen, these two Manchester City players are very confident in Glory's free kick ability, otherwise they would not be so easy to get out of the way, even if Glory has a high status in Manchester City, it can't be. They are forced to give up their glorious status, and the expressions on their faces will not be so relaxed and happy, don't they still laugh?

Now it seems that this smile is clearly faith in glory!

As players who get along with Glory Day and Night, they are well aware of Glory's free-kick level. Although Glory has never played in a game before......

But he's sure he'd scored a lot of those goals in training!

See ****** ghosts!

So what's the use of my foul play?

Ferguson wanted to drop something......

※※※

While Ferguson was still in a daze, in front of Manchester City's dugout and bench, it had become a sea of joy.

Benitez hugged his assistants.

The rest of the players were cheering and celebrating the glorious goal and City's lead.

"Good boy!" Assistant coach Mark Bowen said to Benitez in a very excited tone. "Ferguson's foul tactics are over!"

Benitez laughed: "He must not have thought of this, ha!" ”

Being able to deflate the scheming Ferguson in this regard, Benitez is really in a good mood.

Martin Petrov did not play in the game, and he was on the bench to witness how Glory kicked the ball into the goal.

When he saw the ball fly into the goal, he jumped to his feet, raised his arms and shouted.

At this moment, he didn't think about the question of whether his original first free kick taker could still be kept after Rong Guang was able to kick a free kick now.

From the bottom of his heart, he rejoiced in Glorious Success.

As Glory's first teacher on a free-kick, he saw first-hand how Glory went from not being able to hit a kick at all to now. The effort involved is really unimaginable to ordinary people.

The glory of such hard work deserves such a reward for success.

Otherwise, there is no heavenly reason!

Glory's goal also sparked a lot of discussion in the media booth.

"Will Wing take a free kick?"

"I don't know...... Haven't heard of ......."

"Rong is training every day, but no one knows what he's training and Manchester City FC is doing a good job of keeping this bit of secrecy. Now it seems that maybe it is just practicing free kicks...... And then it was used in this game! ”

"So, Rong has been practicing free kicks for a long time? Doesn't that mean that some of Ferguson's foul tactics are just helping Mo Rong? ”

If you think about it carefully, Ferguson's foul tactics will indeed provide Manchester City with a lot of free kick opportunities, and then now Glory will kick free kicks again, wouldn't that be a special battery for Glory to fire at will?

When they think that Manchester United players are equivalent to indirectly assisting Glory's goal, these reporters feel that Manchester United is so pitiful......

The pro-United journalists were silent.

Because they also thought of this possibility, so what else is there to look forward to in this game?

Isn't Manchester United in danger?
