Chapter 741 Strike ([-])

Just in the blink of an eye, Scholes, who had been ambushing behind Ai Huan for a long time, immediately accelerated forward, and before Ai Huan could react, he kicked the football towards the gate.

Berbatov, who is good at seizing opportunities in front of the goal, was already in position. Under the pincer attack of Howides and Metzelder, he still made a volley, and the football flew towards the goal immediately, but fortunately at this time Neuer was concentrating, keeping the ball firmly under his body so that Schalke didn't get worse.

After Neuer stood up, he immediately yelled at Ai Huan, "Concentrate, what are you doing?"

Ai Huan also had no choice but to raise his hand to express his apology, but at this time his heart was already in chaos, and he was completely occupied by a deep sense of powerlessness. Could it be that he was really finished today?

On the bench, Magath's brows were also tightly frowned. He also felt Ai Huan's problem. He didn't expect his biggest trump card to be in such a bad state, but he didn't know what to do at this time. Have no idea.

Fortunately, after Papadopoulos got the ball, he made a quick assault and was tackled by Anderson in front of the penalty area. The referee gave Anderson a yellow card and awarded a free kick.The generals of Manchester United are very dissatisfied with the free kick in this position. In the last game, Ai Huan scored two consecutive free kicks, but the fact proved that his shooting free kick was really difficult to defend, so a group of People immediately surrounded the referee and yelled fiercely, among which Scholes yelled the loudest.

However, the referee quickly stopped their behavior and said that they should line up the wall as soon as possible, otherwise they would signal Schalke to take a quick free kick. The Manchester United players left slowly, and Skel Si Ze kept nagging, and he didn't stop when he was lining up the wall, and the referee twice signaled him to back away, but he just didn't listen and kept talking, which finally annoyed the referee. Coles directly showed a yellow card, which made Manchester United's players pause for a while.

Ai Huan was still standing alone in front of the ball. He has been trying his best to adjust his body and accumulate strength. He also hopes to use this opportunity to change the situation of the game.

It seemed like a century later that the referee's whistle finally blew, and Ai Huan swung his leg almost at the same time to shoot the goal. The football immediately flew high into the sky like lightning, crossed the high-jumping wall and flew towards the goal.At this moment, Old Trafford fell into silence again. I don’t know how many people held their breaths, and they didn’t even dare to breathe. Some even closed their eyes. They didn’t want to see the ball fly into the net with their own eyes. .

But at this time Ai Huan was very uncomfortable, because the moment the football went out just now, he already knew that it was impossible to go in, because even if he had accumulated enough power, he couldn't control it better, so he He was also staring at the ball intently, and he himself didn't know what would happen next.

In the eyes of everyone, the football is getting higher and higher, but after the highest point, there is still a rapid fall. Van der Sar has already stepped forward. Scored his own goal three times.However, the football did not fall as he imagined, but hit the door beam hard, and then popped out of bounds.

In an instant, Old Trafford was overwhelmed by the cheers, and countless fans jumped up happily, as if they were celebrating their goals, and the singing of "there is only one van der Sar in the world" followed The sound resounded through the sky.

The players also ran towards Van der Sar excitedly, and they patted his shoulder affectionately, as if he really threw the ball just now.Facing the celebration of the other party, Ai Huan stood there with a lonely face. He looked a little demented. Many reporters quickly recorded this scene, and they also regarded it as the first half. Picture, because everything is the same as this picture. When Schalke faced Manchester United, they didn't have a strong counterattack at all. They were like a group of idiots who could only watch each other ruthlessly ravage themselves over and over again.

After the first half, there was a dead silence in Schalke's lounge. No one dared to speak. The lounge was as oppressive as a cemetery. Ai Huan also covered his face with a towel without saying a word, and stood in front of him. Magath, who is also helpless, makes a good contrast.

Magath thought that this would be a very difficult game, but he never imagined that the scene would be so embarrassing. Schalke's dependence on Ai Fan was already terminally ill. Without Ai Fan's crazy performance, their dark horse true qualities would have been beaten. Back to the original shape, their level is just like everyone said, it is just a second-rate team in Europe, far behind the first-rate Manchester United.

But he still made adjustments, and he was unwilling to admit defeat, even though at this time he knew that the game was hopeless.Draxler replaced Papadopoulos. Although the Greek teenager is fast and has good offense, his offense still cannot pose a threat to Manchester United. It is useless to keep him on the field. It is better to let Drake Schiller played hard, and this young man was finally a player with excellent offense and defense.

Then he replaced Jurado with Pukki. The Spaniard had disappeared throughout the first half, so it didn’t make any sense to keep him on the field, and he replaced another striker just to fight to the death. Can the guy do some miracles?

However, Manchester United did not change players. Ferguson was very satisfied with the performance of his players in the first half. He still hopes that the next game can make them work harder, and try to open the score a little bit. Taking advantage of Ai Huan's If the state is in a downturn, if you can't seize the opportunity, then it is not Manchester United.

However, after Schalke made substitutions, some turning points appeared on the scene. After the opening of the second half, they also launched several more threatening attacks. In 1 minute, Raul returned a pass from the right side of the penalty area, and Farfan's shot was blocked by Manchester United captain O'Shea from the bottom line.Raul took a tactical corner kick and was passed by Draxler. Metzelder headed forward and was blocked by Berbatov. Ai Huan, who followed behind, was surprised that he didn't grab this point. Pukki behind him followed up with a strong shot, but the football hit Metzelder's shoulder and flew out of bounds.

The fans of Manchester United once again burst into cheers of joy. In their view, Ai Huan is now like a burden. Not only can it not help Schalke, so they booed a lot.
