Chapter 65 100 Balls, Still Have to Fall on You! 3/20
Chapter 65: 100 goals have to fall on you!
Manchester United beat Real Madrid 5-1 away in the Champions League quarter-finals. This result caused a shock in European football. Including the first leg of the first round of knockout match, it is Manchester United's second away victory over the two strongest teams in La Liga this season. レ♠レ
The Spanish media all whined, thinking that after Real Madrid's lead singer lost 1:5 to Manchester United, Spanish football really lost the last fig leaf. The former European champions and world champions have become a thing of the past. It is an indisputable fact that Spanish football has entered an underestimated period. Now Spanish football must find its own way out again.
After the game, the English football world was cheering. Now the facts can prove that the spring of English football... is really here!
Because in the other two Champions League quarter-finals that were held successively, although "Blue Moon" Manchester City reached a draw with Atletico Madrid at home, Manchester City had an absolute advantage in the scene. As long as you see a 17:1 shot comparison, you can imagine what the scene of this game is like. Manchester City is attacking Atletico Madrid throughout the game. "Son of the Sea God" just relied on his luck to survive in the blue ocean. "Blue Moon"'s goal luck is really a bit worse.
In another game between Arsenal and AC Milan, the Gunners defeated AC Milan with a goal from Chamak to a 1:0 score at home. However, Arsenal also had an absolute advantage in the scene, with the shooting ratio of both sides being 21:11.
Amid the praises, the English Football League's working ability was highly recognized. It is precisely because of their operations that the Premier League has become the world's number one league. High-level foreign players have brought high-level leagues. A new generation of stars represented by Shaq has emerged among the local English players. English football has the strength to return to the peak.
Amid the chaos, the 32nd round of the Premier League kicked off, Manchester United had already won the championship trophy, and Simon Grayson naturally had to use the team's substitute players to rotate. He had to give the main players more rest time to ensure that the team maintains a good condition in the Champions League.
In Manchester United's home game against Wolves, the "Red Devils" still encountered the fourth-last team's resistance. The Wolves, which are fighting for relegation, seem to have become a group of vicious beasts. Even if they are facing the champion Manchester United, they have the courage to pounce on them and tear down a piece of meat.
It’s a pity that Manchester United is Manchester United after all, and there is still a huge gap in strength between the two teams. With Cleville’s 37 minutes and Rooney’s 69 minutes goal, Manchester United defeated Wolves 2-0 at home.
It was obvious that they had won a victory, but the Manchester United fans who came to Old Trafford were still disappointed. Winning a league victory was no longer meaningful for Manchester United. It just increased the team's unbeaten record. However, the failure to see Shaq accomplish the 100-goal feat still made the fans unable to feel relieved.
After the game, Shaq, who failed to score a goal, was interviewed by a reporter. Shaq immediately laughed: "It's so easy to score 100 goals in a season? And I've scored 98 goals now, and it's still two short of 100 goals! I really feel that it's not very good today. I can't find the right point when shooting. In the past two days, I will try to get this done in the next game."
At the beginning, Shaq wanted to exaggerate the difficulty of 100 goals. In the end, he couldn't help laughing. It might be really difficult for other people in the 100 teams, but for himself... it's actually that's the case!?
At this time, Shaq didn't even care about who the team's next opponent was, but someone told him immediately...
On the way back to Carrington training base, Nani, who had not played in this game, had been sitting on the bench playing on his phone, showed a white teeth at Shaq: "Shaq, I heard that you will complete the miracle of 100 goals in the next game? Hehe, you kid probably don't know who our opponent will be in the next game? Real Madrid! Haha, our next game is the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals! Haha, if you can't win two dollars alone this time, the fans will probably say you are untrustworthy. Now everyone is talking about this. Look at our official forum... Tsk tsk!"
Well!
It turned out to be... Real Madrid!?
Shaq was also stunned. He didn't expect that he would choose such an opponent, but... it doesn't matter!
After looking at Nani who was fiddling with his phone again, Shaq laughed: "It seems that my 100 goals will still fall on Real Madrid. Their defensive ability is not very good. It is not as good as the Wolves we encountered in this game. I think I have no problem scoring two goals in the next game!"
ah!?
Now Nani was stunned. He wanted to stimulate Shaq, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Shaq's words were really reasonable. The Spanish team's defensive ability is really not very good. As long as Shaq wants to score a goal... it doesn't seem difficult!
In the next three days, Manchester United fans were running around and talking, intending to celebrate Shaq's 100th goal in the Old Trafford Stadium against Real Madrid. Many Shaq's supporters were shouting: It's too memorable to play Wolves to complete the 100th team, and it was still a miracle of losing a single season goal when playing Real Madrid. Such a feat is exciting!
The words of Manchester United fans reveal a sense of arrogance and confidence, and no one would think this is abnormal. These fans didn't notice that they have become so confident in facing a world-leading team like Real Madrid!
When Real Madrid arrived in Manchester, each of them was gritting their teeth and their eyes were red. Thanks to the development of modern media, Manchester United's remarks have also spread to Spain in the past two days. The stars of Real Madrid were all completely angry. We lost 1:5 at home and I don't know how to explain to the fans. You want Shaq to complete the feat of scoring 100 goals in a single season on us. How fucking it is easy to bully us Real Madrid!?
Ancelotti's face was full of seriousness when he appeared, but in fact, "Fatty An" was very happy. In the first round of the game, his team lost 1:5 at the Bernabeu Stadium. This time he didn't say much hope when he came to the away game, so he just waited to resign from the board of directors after the end of the season. However, he didn't expect that Shaq's 100 goals stimulated the players of Real Madrid, and everyone came to Manchester excitedly. The confrontation in the second round... maybe there was just a little hope.
Fortunately, Ancelotti, who was cautious by nature, still didn't say what he thought and didn't tell anyone, otherwise he would have really made a fool of himself this time because... Shaq really did what he said.
At Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United, who played at home, seemed aggressive as soon as they started, Shaq's long shots made a bang, but Shaq's contribution to the team was... an assist!
When the game ended 28 minutes, Shaq gave Nani a wonderful pass to the right side. Nani made a wonderful shot from the penalty area line on the right before Marcelo, sending the ball into Real Madrid's left goal... 1:0!
After completing an assist, Shaq started to get angry. In 37 minutes, he smashed Rooney's cross from the right bottom line into Real Madrid's goal. While helping Manchester United lead 2-0, he also completed his 99th goal of the season, which is only one step away from the 100-goal mark.
At 43 minutes of the game, Manchester United won a free kick one meter in front of the penalty area line on the left side of Real Madrid. Shaq's right foot kicked a banana ball with a very large arc. The ball flew over the wall of Real Madrid and finally spun into the upper left corner of the goal...100 goals!
"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 100 goals! This is the 100th goal that Shaq has contributed to us in Game 53 after joining the team! Congratulations to Shaq! He created an unprecedented miracle! He scored 100 official match goals for the club in a single season! No one could do it before Shaq, and I believe that no one could do it after Shaq! Except Shaq himself! A miracle! A great miracle! This is the greatest miracle in football history!"
On the four-sided stands at Old Trafford Stadium, a huge long and wide red banner suddenly appeared on each stand. After laying down from top to bottom, there were only two patterns on it, a white "100" and a Manchester United team logo printed in the lower right corner.
Shaq's eyes were a little excited, but he still seemed very calm. He just hugged and celebrated with his teammates, and then ran to the side of the court to hug Simon Grayson...
Real Madrid players wearing white traditional jerseys in the distance all became the background that sets off Shaq!
Today's game does not belong to Real Madrid, does not belong to Manchester United, and it does not even belong to Manchester United fans. It only belongs to one person... Shaq!
Shaq, who scored 100 goals in a single season!
The atmosphere at Old Trafford Stadium was at its peak, as if it was about to explode at any time, and the enthusiasm of the fans has not subsided. The fans who could no longer continue to watch the game because of the red cloth covering their heads had no complaints. On the contrary, they sang, shouted, and jumped under the red cloth. Even if they watched the live game through mobile phones or tablets, they still did not stop until the halftime break.
As everyone who witnessed the birth of a miracle with his own eyes, Manchester United fans were only extremely excited!
Chapter completed!
