Chapter 74: Football Is Life
Rooney walks like flying, only seeing the flying ball, no matter what, he will grab the ball.
Up to now, he has not felt tired. On the contrary, he is very annoyed because of the repeated missed opportunities, and now he is very eager to score a goal.
This is a pretty good opportunity!
However, you have to hit the ball before the opponent's two central defenders attack!
He could feel the two central defenders approaching him quickly, and soon, he would be turned into a sandwich!
No, you can't let them do this!
please! Dong Fangzhuo fell heavily on the turf, and watched Rooney dive forward, and the whole person dived into the penalty area.
When he got up,
Rooney's head hit the ball squarely! Snowflakes splashed.
Rooney chose to dive to the top before the two central defenders pinched him.
But Dong Fangzhuo's sideways volley passed the ball, the speed of the ball was not very fast, and the speed of the ball he rushed to the top was not very fast.
But the angle is quite tricky, rushing to the upper right corner of the goal.
This ball has a play!
After Dong Fangzhuo got up, he also rushed towards the direction of the ball. He didn't stop, because there would always be accidents, and he always had a spirit of picking up dead chickens.
But,
When he rushed into the restricted area, he stopped in shock and stopped.
Nima!
The goalkeeper was so perverted that he pressed the ball to the turf with both hands.
The ball missed again!
At that moment, Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney who was lying on the turf looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of shock and despair in each other's eyes.
In the end is the goalkeeper open hang today! Or are you unlucky?
Can't break the door?
Dong Fangzhuo said in his heart.
Of course, if it was him, he might not be able to push the ball in. It is indeed quite difficult.
And the shot Rooney chose was not wrong at the time, which was quite reasonable. If he unloaded the ball with his chest and shot again, he would definitely miss the opportunity to shoot.
call!
In the stands, the Portsmouth fans broke out in a cold sweat. In this game, Rooney has frightened them several times.
Ferguson jumped up from the coach's bench, and sat back helplessly. This season, I have experienced many games where I won't score. It seems that I will repeat the same mistakes today?
There is something cool.
According to the progress of the game, it should be at least 2:0 lead now, but the result is still 0:0, no one is lucky.
There is not much time left, and with about 15 minutes left, Redknapp made another adjustment, removing a striker and replacing it with a midfielder. This is to continue to defend.
There was not much space in the first place, and now Manchester United's offense is even more hindered.
Ferguson finally couldn't sit still, and stood on the sidelines in the rain and snow, constantly signaling the team to press up, and then replaced Keane with Fletcher.
The belligerent Fletcher is not as conservative as Keane, he is almost in front of the opponent's big penalty area, only Brown is guarding behind him, and almost everyone is pressing up.
Giggs and Ronaldo continued to play from the two sides, but Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo were submerged in the penalty area. Without the advantage of height and grabbing points, they couldn't catch them at all.
In desperation, the two of them chose to cut in and shoot with the ball, but they returned in vain.
Dong Fangzhuo also joined the long-range battle group, but he also got nothing.
Redknapp's team is indeed a tough one. The game has not allowed Manchester United to knock on the goal so far. Of course, luck is also on their side.
It is this weather that seems to be against them.
The sleet was getting heavier, the clock was ticking, and soon came stoppage time, and Manchester United were still attacking.
Scholes' diagonal pass gave Dong Fangzhuo another chance.
This may be their last chance to attack.
Dong Fangzhuo did not hesitate,
As soon as he gritted his teeth, he went directly to the ball to accelerate, and once again fought the opponent's speed, and once again threw off the opponent's defender, and then before the opponent caught up again, an inverted triangle was passed back to Ronaldo who cut in the middle, but because of the excessive speed Quickly, it slipped and fell more than two meters away.
Ronaldo took the ball to the middle and continued to bend, and then took a long shot with his unused left foot, and the ball flew high into the stands.
bibibi.
The referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Manchester United was tied 0:0 by Portsmouth! Return in vain!
Dong Fangzhuo got up from the turf, wiped his face, and shook his head helplessly.
This kind of flatness is really too fucked up. It is estimated that Manchester United shot nearly 30 goals in normal games! I have five or six feet...
The snow water had already dyed him into a half-mummy, as if he had just crawled out of a stinking ditch, his whole body was dirty.
It wasn't a bad game, but it turned out badly. All the hard work won't bring you a victory.
Every teammate is very frustrated. This game should not be a draw, and even a little bit of luck is impossible.
But the Portsmouth players seemed to have won a victory. They were cheering and celebrating their hard-earned point. In response to the fans in the stands by raising their hands and applauding, their fans were also very excited.
You can't say that they have no pursuit and are satisfied with one point, because they have put in as much effort and sweat as the players of Manchester United.
They deserve respect.
It's just that Manchester United's goals are different. Their goals are higher. They want to move towards the three points, but they can't do so.
Ferguson also shook his head, it was difficult to accept such a result.
He didn't want to linger too much on the turf, so he walked quickly to Redknapp, shook hands with Redknapp, and then walked back to the player tunnel.
But this time, Ferguson instead brought Dong Fangzhuo with him and attended the press conference.
In the Arsenal game, he didn't get a chance because Ferguson wanted to protect him, but he got a chance in this game instead.
He didn't understand why Ferguson would do this, but he still accepted the arrangement and attended the press conference.
Ferguson didn't lose his temper in the locker room, affirming everyone's efforts.
This is very strange. In the past, as long as there was a loss or a draw, Ferguson would definitely blow the air for half an hour, calling out and criticizing every player who did not perform well, and everyone had to listen with sullen heads.
Dong Fangzhuo sat at the press conference and acted very quietly. It was not his turn to speak until Ferguson had finished speaking.
When he was asked why he couldn't score, his answer was very philosophical.
"Football is like life, you can't always get what you want, but we have to look forward and prepare for the next game. I think we are not doing enough, otherwise the luck of scoring will not be far away from us."
"Portsmouth played great football but we weren't good enough."
Um?
Ferguson raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling touched in his heart.
It's not like something a nineteen year old would say...
It looks like I need to think about it.
A pattern floated in his mind.
