Chapter 872: Looking at each other
When Klose picked up the ball and Rafael slipped in from behind him, everyone's attention was drawn to the right side of the pitch, and no one cared what was happening in the middle.
Cristiano Ronaldo had been outside the box all the time, and he didn't go for it immediately after Klose pulled the side. It was Tevez who was in the box and attracted the attention of the remaining Manchester City defenders.
Cristiano Ronaldo waited for his chance outside the box.
Sure enough, when he saw that Klose was about to cross with his feet, he suddenly started and went straight into the middle of the box!
Then he used the power of running to jump in the sprint, he jumped higher than anyone else, the highest altitude in the Manchester City penalty area!
City's players didn't react at all, not even to jump to block or interfere, they just watched Cristiano Ronaldo jump in the air and then comfortably flick his head into the goal of Joe Hart......
The cheers at Old Trafford were the loudest since the game began, even more than Cristiano Ronaldo's cheers.
Judging from the camera footage set up in the stands, when the football flew into the goal, all the United goals jumped from their seats, and their shouts really made the fixed camera lenses shake!
It's not just the cameras in this one position that are shaking, but almost all the cameras that are fixed in the stands.
Old Trafford at this time looks like a crater spewing lava and a lot of steam!

Ferguson, who had returned to the coach's box, also jumped up from his seat suddenly, then rushed to the coach's box, ran to the sidelines, and waved his fists vigorously, the gum in his mouth naturally couldn't be chewed, and the white gum could be seen from his open and shouting mouth, which really made people worry about what to do if he was excited and swallowed the gum......
However, Ferguson is clearly very experienced in this area, and everyone's fears did not materialize.
He hugged and cheered with the assistant coach and other members of the coaching staff around him, and the gum could still be seen looming in his mouth that opened from time to time......
Manchester United can lead Manchester City at home, and Ferguson is still very excited.
Because today's Manchester City is no longer what it used to be, and it is no longer the belly of the fish that was slaughtered in the first half of the season.
Having the lead at home to Manchester City is a good start. The next game is going to be a little bit better.
That lead certainly doesn't guarantee a win in the end, but it does allow United to play with a little more ease.
※※※
Cristiano Ronaldo was also very excited after the goal, and after he landed, he turned and spread his arms and rushed towards the corner flag area.
Then a slippery kneeling.
The other players swarmed him, slid to his knees, grabbed him, threw him to the ground, and pressed him down.
"Ronaldo's goal gave Manchester United the lead! He looked excited! Because it was not just a goal that gave Manchester United the lead, but also a chance for him to take the lead in the battle with Rong! When Rong was caught in the defensive encirclement of Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo took the lead! ”
"In the contest between Rongguang and Ronaldo, Ronaldo has taken the lead, and of course we hope that Rongguang can also show his performance. But United's defensive strategy against Glory has been quite effective...... "He Ping is a little worried. Of course, he doesn't want Glory to lose to Cristiano Ronaldo in this duel, he himself has no problem with the Portuguese kid, but Glory is his compatriot, and of course he has to support his own compatriot.
"Ronaldo! Ronaldo! Ronaldo !! "The Portuguese commentator is the most excited, even more so than the commentator on Manchester United's official radio station. Because this is the world's number one competition! Cristiano Ronaldo has been subject to all kinds of criticism since he got the World Footballer of the Year, and there are many rumors that his World Footballer of the Year was stolen from Glory, and the whole of Portugal is complaining about Cristiano Ronaldo.
So it's not just Cristiano Ronaldo who wants to beat the glory, it's all the Portuguese.
Now to see Cristiano Ronaldo take the lead in the showdown with Glory will certainly be exciting for him, not just as a commentator, but also from the fans across Portugal who are watching the game, even more so than Manchester United fans.
※※※
The Manchester United players celebrated the goal frantically, while the Manchester City players stood still.
Since the second half of the season, it has not been common for them to concede first in a game.
Now they are behind in such an important game, which will inevitably make City's players panic.
After all, standing in front of them is the Premier League overlord Manchester United, which will still put some pressure on the Manchester City players, and this is still at Manchester United's home turf.
Listen to the cheers of the United fans as they take the lead...... It's enough to love to suffocate!
It was as if the whole of Old Trafford was shaking.
These have put a lot of pressure on the Manchester City players.
Rongguang also stood still, he did not run back to his goal, picked up the football, and put it in the center circle.
He just stood there and watched the United players celebrating their goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been pulled up from the ground by his teammates, who are still hugging him, patting him on the shoulders and on top of his head and rubbing his hair.
Surrounded by everyone, Cristiano Ronaldo smiled brightly.
Then, as if telepathically, the smile on Cristiano Ronaldo's face froze, and he turned to Glory's side and looked over.
The two men looked at each other suddenly.
Glory didn't look away from his sudden gaze, he continued to look at Cristiano Ronaldo.
If it was usual, if someone looked at each other so well, Rongguang would never deliberately look at him, because he didn't put such a gaze in his eyes at all, he would naturally look away from his gaze, and he didn't care what others thought, anyway, he just finished reading it.
But today, he didn't do that, he just looked directly at Cristiano Ronaldo, his eyes were stern.
The last person he stared at like this was ...... Kaka.
Therefore, being able to be seen by him like this means that he thinks that this person is qualified to be his opponent.
Cristiano Ronaldo taunted himself before the game, stirred up the controversy or two, and now scored before himself in the game...... Glory will never let him go.
Cristiano Ronaldo stared at Glory with a smug look in his eyes, as if he was still provoking Glory.
Aren't you quite capable? Now, who is the one who is scoring the goal?
After showing off, Cristiano Ronaldo withdrew his gaze and continued to talk and laugh with his team-mates back to his own half.
As a winner, he no longer needs to care about the feelings of the loser.
He withdrew his gaze, and so did Glory.
The football had already been kicked by his teammates, and he raised his foot to stop the ball in the air, and the ball seemed to be glued to the bottom, and it didn't move at all when it hit the ground.
Berbatov was standing next to him, observing Glory's expression.
He found Glory to have a stern expression, not like he did against Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final, and after conceding a goal, he said to himself very lightly: "Don't worry, Dimita. ”
Berbatov did not know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. He thought of what Benitez had said before the game, and he tried desperately to calm down the players, just for fear that the players would be burned out of their minds by anger.
Now look at Rong such a table xiàn...... Could it be that he has been consumed by the flames of rage?
Glory is indeed angry now.
Because he saw contempt in Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes!
That bastard dared to look down on me!
Depend on!
Glory had never had Cristiano Ronaldo in his eyes before, but now he had this man in mind.
※※※
Rong Guang is very unhappy, he wants to respond to Cristiano Ronaldo with a goal, but the question is how does he score?
He tried to go back to the middle before Cristiano Ronaldo scored, after all, he knew he was the most dangerous in the middle.
But it didn't work out.
After Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, he was still trying to return to the middle to threaten the United goal, but it was still unsuccessful.
In desperation, he returned to the side again.
He can cut inside on the wing, but he can also go back to the middle, and Manchester United are now guarding him back to the middle, so he doesn't even have a chance to cut inside to shoot.
As soon as he cut inside, a group of people will immediately surround him......
'Wing is back on the wing, having tried to threaten the United goal in the middle but has not been able to do so...... Now it seems that Ferguson's tactics have been successful, and if he presses Rong on the side at any cost, he will be much less dangerous on the wing......
"Rong should have been restrained by Ferguson's tactics, and now it will be up to United to seize their chances in attack. If they can score another goal before the end of the first half, then they can basically seal the win......"
"We were expecting Wing and Cristiano Ronaldo to face off at the top of this match, but now it seems that it is going to be one-sided...... It's a shame......"
"In terms of team strength, Manchester United is still far better than Manchester City. Manchester City's current position does not mean that they are already in the top five of the league, and they have made it to this place by chance, with a lot of luck involved...... When it comes to going head-to-head with a really strong team, Manchester City's shortcomings in strength are exposed. No one but Glory alone can pose a real threat to United, and they can't provide more support for Glory......"
……
Everyone thought that Glory had been frozen, and it was impossible to pose any more threats in this match.
Benitez was also standing on the sidelines, frowning and thinking about what to do.
How do you get Glory to reappear on the side?
Or will he take a back seat and be a passer without directly threatening the United goal? Leave the goal to Robinho and Berbatov, and others?
