Park Ji-sung looked at Rong Guang's back with his hands in a daze.

He was really shocked. He didn't expect that after Rong Guang threw away him, he didn't stop the ball at all, but directly pulled the football into the goal.

If Van der Sar hadn't performed well, the ball might have flew directly into the goal, and that would have been his own responsibility.

The glory is so strong...

Park Ji-sung felt this feeling in his heart.

"Rong's long shot just now was very sudden. He accelerated and ran to the football, and then did not stop the ball, but chose to shoot directly, which was beyond the expectations of Manchester United players. If it weren't for Van der Sar's concentration, Manchester United would have fallen behind now... Manchester City won a corner kick, so it won't be the result of it."

In the voice of the commentator, Gareth Barry ran to the corner kick.

He ran to the corner flag area and looked back at the glory.

He just passed the kick to Glory, and he didn't think about scoring or something. He didn't expect that he almost had an assist...

The glory is indeed...

I used to be an opponent with him, but I was not as deeply touched as I am now. After all, I am lucky in one season and it is worth encountering him twice.

Now that he has been a teammate with him, this feeling is even stronger. In training, he has seen how powerful Rongguang is. Now, in the game, when the deadlock cannot be opened, Rongguang just shot with a seemingly casual kick, and the football can actually threaten the goal guarded by Van der Sar...

It seems that transferring to Manchester City to be his teammate is a very correct decision. Since he cannot defeat him, it is better to be his teammate... How to curb him with other people's headaches? Anyway, I'm free.

Gareth Barry ran to the corner flag area and placed the football thrown by the caddie in the corner flag area. Next, he looked in the penalty area.

In corner kicks, Benitez set up many attacking routines.

However, the specific routine is determined by the player who serves the corner kick. They have a set of codes to distinguish them through gestures.

This is not unique to Manchester City, and all teams will have it.

So you will see that during football games, there will be players who give corner kicks raising their arms before kicking the ball. That is not the student asking the teacher for permission, it is for teammates to see.

Barry observed the situation in front of the door.

Lucio and Kompani both squeezed in front of the goal, and they attracted the attention of most Manchester United defensive players, especially Manchester United's two centre-backs, Rio Ferdinand and Vidic, each of them.

Although both Kompani and Lucio are excellent center backs with headers, Gareth Barry is not going to pass the football to them.

He was looking for glory in the crowd.

With the ball just now, he now believes that glory can turn decay into magic.

If you want to score a goal, you must be looking for Rongguang.

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

Thinking of this, Barry raised his left hand, then raised his three fingers, namely his index finger and middle finger.

This is giving his teammates a secret code: this ball is a tactic

The left hand represents A, the right hand represents B, the thumb represents I, the thumb and index finger are 2 thumbs, the index finger and middle finger are combined to be B.

Tactics are a set of corner kick competition tactics specially designed for Honor.

All Manchester City players in the penalty area saw this gesture. Lucio and Kompani looked at each other and suddenly became active. They pushed Rio Ferdinand and Vidic in front of them desperately, creating a tense atmosphere before leaving the goal, and at the same time attracted the attention of almost all Manchester United players to the two of them.

Sure enough, Manchester United strengthened their defense in the middle of the goal.

Then the referee whistle sounded, Gareth Barry kicked the football after two steps, and the football he kicked was very straight, without any arc, did not fly to the penalty spot in the penalty area, but rushed straight to the goal.

It makes people think this must be passed on to Corpani and Lucio.

In addition, the two people were entangled with the two central defenders in front of the goal, which deepened everyone's impression.

Leo Ferdinand and Vidic grabbed the clothes of two Manchester City centre-backs at each other and would never let go.

Just as everyone was focusing their attention in front of the goal, few people noticed that the glory that was originally on the penalty area line suddenly started and accelerated to the front point of the goal.

By the time everyone found him, he had already jumped in the air

Everyone looked at him in surprise, especially Manchester United players. Many people suddenly remembered that Rong Guang had completed a hat trick in the game against them.

This thought just emerged in their minds, and saw the glory fly to the front point, and then... the header is swung

When everyone was not aware of it, the football ball rubbed the front post and flew into the goal on the head of Raphael standing against the post.

The glory of the landing staggered slightly because he was still twisting his body and watching football.

He saw the football hit the net in the goal, and then he was sure that he had scored.

So he ran to Gareth Barry, who was passing the ball to him, and wanted to hug him.

And there were huge cheers from Manchester City fans over Wembley Stadium.

“HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGh”

※※※

"The ball was scored. Rong. A beautiful front point. The Lions headed. Manchester United's defensive attention was all on Lucio and Kompany. No one expected Rong to break out in the diagonal stab. Did the Manchester United players forget? Rong is someone who has done a header hat trick on them." John Motson shouted excitedly.

Alan Hansen next to him took the opportunity to sprinkle salt on Manchester United's wound: "So, Manchester United and Rong's hats are really destined to be. Last season's FA Cup final, Rong completed a hat trick with a free kick, and before that Rong completed a hat trick with a header."

As a former Liverpool player, he never conceals his love for Liverpool and his contempt for Manchester United. This has also attracted many dissatisfaction from Manchester United fans, but Alan Hansen still does his own way and has no intention of explaining the game fairly and objectively.

※※※

Gareth Barry shouted after seeing Glory really pushed the ball into the goal.

It's so fucking good, I finally got an assist

Then the glory rushed up and the two hugged each other hard, just as if the incident had never happened a season ago.

Next, more Manchester City players ran over from Manchester United's goal, surrounded them and celebrated the goal with them.

And in the stands behind them, Manchester City fans in blue were also chanting. The lead of their mortal enemies in the city made them extremely excited.

※※※

Manchester City players and fans are celebrating the lead, while Manchester United seems a little depressed.

When Rong Guang headed the ball, there was no Manchester United player beside him. Goalkeeper Van der Sar did not even make a save. He just raised his hand and the football flew into the goal. The entire Manchester United showed no resistance in this concealment.

Ferguson looked angry, and 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. Glory's header once brought very painful memories to Manchester United. It was his three headers that helped Bayern Munich eliminate Manchester United and reach the Champions League final.

Manchester United knows very well how powerful Rong Guang's header is, but why did they forget it in this corner defense?

No one from Manchester United can answer his roar.

In fact, it is not that no one expected them, but that no one could keep up with the speed of glory.

Park Ji-sung is responsible for guarding Rong Guang in the penalty area, but from Rong Guang's sudden start toward him and then jumping up and heading to attack the goal, there was no time for two seconds. How could he react?

The speed of Glory was really too fast when it started. With just one step, there would be no sign of people. When Park Ji-sung found him, he had already soared into the air. At this time, even if Park Ji-sung went to chase him, it would be useless. It was too late.

He was so glorious that he couldn't even open his mouth and shout to the police...

※※※

In any case, Manchester City relied on a set piece to open the deadlock, and Rongguang, who had only one shot before, used a header to open Manchester United's goal.

Manchester City is in the lead.

This is a perfect start for Manchester City led by Benitez.

Because under Benitez's training, Manchester City is better at playing defensive counterattacks.

With glory, a player like Robinho is a waste not to play defensive counterattack.

There is a prerequisite for playing defensive counterattacks, that is, you must be ahead in the score.

Now they are ahead.

For Manchester United, the next game is difficult to play...

After Ferguson scolded, he stood on the sidelines and frowned.

He also understands the current situation of Manchester United.

※※※

In the end, Ferguson made a choice. After conceding the ball, he did not rush to counterattack, but still maintained his current defensive posture and would not continue to concede the ball correctly. After all, the game has just started less than twenty minutes. If he pressed out to attack at this time, it would be too dangerous. There is enough time for Manchester City to score another goal.

Manchester City, which has taken the lead, has a high morale. They play every time they attack. Not continuing to concede the ball at this time is more important than equalizing the score, and it is less difficult to execute.

So he chose this.

However, Manchester City is not in a hurry. Since it is leading, let's deal with Manchester United. It depends on who can't stand it first. Anyway, it's not them who are behind now.

Until the end of the first half, the score did not change, and Manchester City entered the midfield with a goal lead.

Manchester United players don't look particularly good when they leave the court. They either lower their heads, so that they can't see their expressions at all, or they just hold their faces.
Chapter completed!
