Chapter 230 One Shot in Exchange for One Place

Half of it is red and the other half is bright yellow. In the Cardiff Stadium, fans of Manchester United and Arsenal consciously appeared in their respective camps, just like the soldiers of Manchester United and Arsenal on the field.

beep--

The referee blew his whistle and the 2005 FA Cup final finally began.

Players from both sides immediately stood up and guarded their respective positions. Surprisingly, neither side launched a fierce attack immediately. At the beginning, the game was unusually calm.

In this final, neither side was able to use their most capable players. On Manchester United's side, almost all the old guys were injured. Keane, Giggs, and Gary Neville didn't even sit on the bench. There was only one Scholes brought Rooney, Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo to fight.

On Arsenal's side, chief ace Henry sat on the bench, with Bergkamp and young Reyes on the front line. In the midfield, Cesc Fabregas unexpectedly squeezed out Ljungberg and Edu for the spot. In the starting position, on the back line, Senderos also put Campbell on the bench.

Relatively speaking, Arsenal's lineup is more complete, but they are missing their most awesome gunner, while Manchester United is missing their former kings and generals.

Cristiano Ronaldo lobbed the ball towards the center, and the ball headed towards Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo observed the opponents around him while running, and then jumped sideways.

Boom——

Dong Fangzhuo collided with Fabregas at the beginning. The two sides took off and competed for the header. Dong Fangzhuo's strong body slammed into Fabregas in the air. Vieira was just one step slower, and Dong Fangzhuo had already knocked Fabregas down. The referee's whistle sounded and Dong Fangzhuo was awarded a foul first and Arsenal was given a free kick.

Fabregas, who was only 18 years old, was lying on the turf groaning in pain, his eyes looking very innocent. Damn it, as soon as the game started, Dong Fangzhuo gave him a blow in the header competition. The young Xiaofa was no match for Dong Fangzhuo physically. Although the latter was only two years older than him, Dong Fangzhuo's physical 'development' was too insignificant.

And in the process of fighting for the header, Dong Fangzhuo also used some caution. He rushed into Arsenal's defensive jungle alone. It was impossible to control the ball. It would be good to just bully Cesc Fabregas.

After Vieira came over, Dong Fangzhuo had already left. Not wanting to face Vieira head-on for the time being, bullying Fabregas would have a more direct effect, at least it would make them anxious first.

One shot and another place, so that they could not retaliate and strike, but he struck first.

he knows,

If he was stuck in the middle, Vieira would never let him go. He would just keep roaming in the frontcourt and engage in guerrilla warfare with Arsenal's defense.

In order to prepare for this game, Ferguson spent a lot of thought. The main point of attack in this game was not him, but other teammates, especially Rooney and Ronaldo. Because Arsenal will definitely pay attention to him and will not let him easily take the ball and score a goal.

Fabregas could only suffer some loss in experience. Fortunately, after he got up, he touched the left shoulder that was hit when he landed and found that there was nothing wrong, so he rejoined the battle.

"Be careful with that guy. When fighting with him, be braver. If you flinch a little bit, you will definitely be the one who suffers." Vieira whispered next to Fabregas.

In almost the same position, Vieira was very optimistic about Cesc Fabregas succeeding him and becoming Arsenal's new midfield ace, and fate seemed to have given them two opportunities. In his last game for Arsenal , the two of them appeared together.

After Arsenal re-opened the ball, they did not rush to attack, but controlled the ball and played steadily. Maybe Wenger cares too much about this FA Cup championship. The rhythm of the game today is completely opposite to usual. Also, because they have lost to Manchester United three times this season, they don't want to lose a fourth time.

Vieira handed the ball to Brazilian Gilberto, who passed it to Pires. Pires did not choose to break through, but passed it directly to Reyes.

After all, Reyes is young. After removing the ball from the outside of his left foot, he does not swallow it slowly like his predecessors. As soon as the ball hits the ground, he immediately accelerates towards the baseline! Although Brown was well prepared, Reyes was still much faster than him.

It's just that Reyes burst in from the left, which is not his dominant right foot, so Reyes suddenly spiked the ball and changed direction, pulled the ball back to his right foot, and then passed it directly.

The ball went to Bergkamp.

Ferdinand stuck to his side. When the high ball flew over, Bergkamp had trouble handling it. When he took off, Ferdinand was half a head taller than him and easily pushed the ball out. Ferdinand was obviously bullying. Bergkamp's body and jumping are not as good as his, and it is too difficult for the 36-year-old Bergkamp...

It is unreasonable to let a 36-year-old Bergkamp, ​​who is only 1.83 meters tall, and a 27-year-old Ferdinand, who is 1.88 meters tall, compete for the high ball.

The ginger-headed Scholes returned to the penalty area line and got the ball first. A coquettish Marseille spin pulled the ball to the front. He looked up and transferred the ball to Rooney, who was already speeding up the left wing.

Facing Gilberto, he did not choose to break through, but passed directly to Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo directly knocked his heel back to Rooney. The two successfully played a one-two. Rooney's light figure reappeared in front of the ball, and then the instep of his right foot With one push, he pushed the ball forward.

Dong Fangzhuo and Lauren rushed forward together.

Lauren couldn't keep up, so she had to pull Dong Fangzhuo, but Dong Fangzhuo's body rushed forward like a tank, and he couldn't hold him back at all!

He was out of position and could only watch as Dong Fangzhuo continued to catch up with the ball. Manchester United's speed was suddenly increased. Rooney quickly rushed to the center, while Ronaldo also rushed to the right.

Manchester United's attack in the frontcourt is much faster than Arsenal!

Toure quickly pulled over from the middle to intercept Dong Fangzhuo, but before he could reach Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo passed his left foot directly back to Rooney in an inverted triangle.

Rooney caught the ball, and after a light feint from Senderos, he continued to change direction to the right, and finally got out of the way of the shot. He hit a curve ball with his right foot and the ball went straight to the far foot of the goal.

Whimsical! Lehmann made a diving leap and hit the ball to the sideline with both fists...

Manchester United's offense was destroyed. Ronaldo originally broke in from the right and had already got rid of Joe Cole's entanglement, but the ball flew past his eyes and fell to Ashley Cole's feet.

Ashley Cole's chest puffed up, and the ball flew forward three meters obediently. Then he rushed forward and continued to move forward. It was Arsenal's turn to counterattack.

Fabregas was approaching him, but he did not pass the ball to Fabregas. Like Rooney just now, he also chose to pass forward, but he did not pass it to Reyes. Reyes' pass just now It's a joke, Bergkamp actually got the header.

The ball came to Bergkamp's feet.

now it's right!

The ball is the most threatening when it is at Bergkamp's feet. Just like the ball is at Henry's feet, they can have flowers at their feet, but he is not followed by Ferdinand, who is still more than 20 meters away from the penalty area. Letcher didn't want to cause trouble. Although Bergkamp protected the ball at his feet, he couldn't stand Bergkamp at all, but his right foot went around in front of Bergkamp and directly knocked him down. Camp.

foul.

He stopped Arsenal's counterattack with a technical foul and bought time for his Manchester United teammates to return to defense. At this moment, all the Manchester United players came back, including Dong Fangzhuo. The foul was worth it.

It seems that by the end of the season, Fletcher's head has become smarter...

"The Manchester United players seemed to be united and even Dong retreated."

It was too far away from the goal and there was no threat from this set piece. Vieira could only hand the ball to Fabregas. Fabregas made a big long pass and directly found Reyes. Reyes ran directly to the left. He volleyed with his foot and the ball flew high out of the stands.

This time it was Manchester United's turn to attack. The ball was at the feet of Ronaldo. Ronaldo swung a bull's tail from the right and instantly missed Pires.

There was a burst of exclamation in the stands.

At this time, there are not many players in football who play bull's-eye. One is Ronaldinho and the other is Cristiano Ronaldo. Things are rare and valuable. When everyone sees such a wonderful performance, they will naturally have an orgasm.

Although Ronaldo's movements are not as good-looking as Ronaldinho's, they are still very practical.

It was too late, but soon, Dong Fangzhuo actually inserted from the left to the right.

Fabregas followed and lost Dong Fangzhuo. Because Dong Fangzhuo's running range was too large, he had to leave it to Vieira. But Vieira was not Sun Wukong and had a clone to deal with Ronaldo. He had to deal with it. Cristiano Ronaldo, Dong Fangzhuo is Senderos’s problem!

But when his tall figure appeared in front of Ronaldo, Ronaldo was one step faster than him. Ronaldo pushed straight with the instep of his outside foot. Before Vieira could stand still, he found that the ball pushed by Ronaldo went directly to the goal. Pass through his crotch!

Farke!

In such a blink of an eye, Cristiano Ronaldo had already circled behind him.

But Dong Fangzhuo, who originally rushed to Senderos on the right, suddenly braked and suddenly wanted to turn back in the middle.

Senderos almost missed it. He finally rushed over to stare at Dong Fangzhuo, but found that Dong Fangzhuo ran back again!

At that moment, his head was a little short-circuited, because Ronaldo passed Vieira and actually dribbled the ball straight over! The one who is fast seems to have no choice but to use a wooden stick to break Ronaldo's legs!

Ronaldo dribbled the ball to the bottom line!

Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo inserted into the middle and back points together, and Ronaldo quickly passed through the middle.

Despite Toure's interference, Dong Fangzhuo still took the lead and poked the ball!

Wow——

The Manchester United fans in the stands immediately stood up and cheered.

But he found that Lehmann had already put the ball firmly at his feet.

"Leimann was in good condition today and has rejected Manchester United's shots twice. Although he is 36 years old, his reaction speed and judgment are very good. If it were any other goalkeeper, Dong might have stolen the ball. "

"abnormal."

Dong Fangzhuo praised Lehmann in his heart, but he was already moving because Lehmann immediately gave the ball to Fabregas. This is purely a natural reaction. Some forwards who are accustomed to counter-attacking always approach a defensive player at the first opportunity, but Dong Fangzhuo quickly retreated to the left after completing the shot.

Lehmann did not expect that Dong Fangzhuo would be so diligent. He originally wanted to pass the ball to Fabregas to start the attack, but Fabregas had not yet received the ball. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Dong Fangzhuo's flying shovel was coming towards his feet.

Experience!

Farke!

Fabregas actually didn't get the ball, the ball was lost!

This was quite an unexpected tackle!

Dong Fangzhuo's sliding tackle successfully scooped the ball, and both the man and the ball flew to the sideline. He hooked his left foot and caught the ball before it appeared!

"God, how come I can see him everywhere!" Ian Wright exclaimed, only to find that Dong Fangzhuo had already rushed to the baseline with the ball, and then passed it back to Rooney in an inverted triangle!

"What is Cesc Fabregas doing!"

It's Rooney again, but this time Rooney didn't fake or shoot, but pushed the ball flat to Ronaldo.

If clever shooting doesn't work, then use heavy artillery!

Cristiano Ronaldo shot the ball furiously, not as fancy as Rooney's previous shot, volleying from the instep!
