I am the king of football

Chapter 435 The Unstoppable Peter Pan

Starting the game with a yellow card was definitely the best proof, because the game became dazzling from that moment on.

"Carrick took this indirect free kick and the ball flew into the penalty area. Qin Hu! He pushed Dante and headed the ball, and the ball flew towards the goal~"

"Boom!"

With a punch to the sky, Neuer appeared in front of the goal line. Since Qin Hu had received a lot of interference before heading the ball, the power of his header was reduced. Although he still headed the ball, Bayern's goalkeeper still punched the ball out of the bottom line.

"The ball was saved and United got another corner kick and their attack continued."

Compared to the hasty indirect free kick just now, this time Manchester United players were able to press forward. They completed the first shot within five minutes of the opening and the team's condition improved very quickly.

"Giggs came to the corner to kick off, Qin Hu and three others rushed into the penalty area, and Carrick was cruising outside the penalty area. It was a very complete arrangement."

"Shu~"

Before Zhan Jun could finish his words, the ball was kicked out directly. Giggs's kick was very accurate and the route of the ball almost covered the positions of Manchester United's three offensive players.

"Rooney jumped high but didn't touch the ball. He was a disruptive player who was there to feint. Let's look at Qin Hu. This time, the one responsible for defending him is Boateng!"

"Boom!"

There was a loud sound of flesh colliding. The defensive quality of the tough guys Boateng and Dante was obviously different. Although Qin Hu also used all his strength to jump high and try to head the ball, the huge interference from around him made him completely lose control of the ball.

"Qin Hu failed to head the ball, and Boateng's strong confrontation ability made him miss the opportunity, but there is still! Van Persie at the back post, he touched the ball~"

Van Persie tried very hard to touch the ball. Facing the double-team of Dante and full-back Alaba, he bent his body and hit the falling ball with his head, but unfortunately, the force this time was not even as strong as Qin Hu's header before.

"Neuer confiscated the ball, and Manchester United's header failed to score after all~"

Zhan Jun sighed and said it was a pity, but such a shot was indeed not enough to break through the goal guarded by Neuer.

However, the situation on the field did not end with the ball being confiscated. Neuer, who got the ball, directly knocked away the Manchester United attacking team in front of him and rushed out of the small penalty area. Then he threw the ball to Lahm who did not participate in the defense in the penalty area.

"The ball was passed to Lahm on the right, who drove straight forward. Bayern's midfielders turned around and sprinted forward without taking a break."

Strong confidence and ability are the most solid foundation of top teams. This is why the matches between top teams are sometimes more exciting.

"The ball quickly crossed the half court. Lahm made a quick run and Manchester United could only send Fletcher to defend. They did not move forward. Lahm passed the ball diagonally to Muller. Muller faced Phil Jones who rushed over and passed the ball to Robben on the right!"

In a flash, the confrontation between Rafael and Robben took place. The tactic that Ferguson had instructed before the game to use at least two people to block Robben was difficult to implement. At this moment, he was under tremendous pressure.

"Dribbling the ball forward, Robben's speed has been improved, he doesn't look nervous at all, can Rafael stop him? It's over! Cut inside directly, amazing change of direction, Robben's classic cut inside, then the next step is~~~"

"Oh!"

After cutting inside and avoiding Rafael's defense, Robben's shot came very quickly. The ball flew into the air in the next second and flew towards the upper left corner of the goal. Although De Gea, who was standing in front of the goal, was mentally prepared, when he jumped out and found that he was still a certain distance away from the ball, he realized that everything was too late.

"Shu~"

In the tenth minute of the game, the ball went through Manchester United's goal.

"It's in! It's in! The unstoppable Peter Pan, the king of cutting inside and shooting, Robben once again performed a familiar scene on the court. He cut inside, passed Rafael and shot directly into the dead corner!"

"Boom! Robben! Robben! Bayern's flying wing~ Robben! Robben! The invincible Robben!"

In the stands, more than 20,000 Bayern fans suddenly burst into huge cheers, Robben's song sounded instantly, and Peter Pan, who scored the goal, ran all the way to the stands and celebrated by spinning his hands around and then pushing them away.

"Leading 1-0, Bayern scored a goal on a counterattack ten minutes into the game. They seized the opportunity when Manchester United's set-piece attack was underway and launched a beautiful counterattack!"

Zhan Jun's voice was full of excitement but also a bit of worry for Manchester United. The reason they lost the ball so quickly was not only because Bayern's counterattack was very fast, but also because Manchester United's own defense was of poor quality.

Rafael has played as a full-back for Manchester United for many years, but the fact that no one has ever mentioned him in the list of world-class full-backs is telling. It is very difficult in itself to use such a player to defend Robben in his prime one-on-one.

"Pay attention to the formation! Don't press too hard as the defensive midfielder, and don't give the opponent a one-on-one opportunity!"

On the sidelines, Ferguson was also aware of this problem, or he was aware of it before the game started, but he had no good solution due to the team's lineup limitations.

As Giggs was too late to return from the corner kick, Fletcher had to block the connection between opponents Lahm and Muller. When Rafael could only confront one-on-one, everything was doomed.

He solemnly called out to Giggs and Fletcher. Obviously, if they wanted to curb the opponent's goals in this game, the two midfielders had to focus more on defense.

"Understood, Boss!"

Losing a goal would not cause Manchester United players to collapse. Giggs and Fletcher quickly responded to Ferguson's reminder. They also realized that it was not advisable to leave all the defense to the defensive players. As for other players, they were not affected too much.

So, when Bayern's celebration ended and they returned to the kick-off position, they found that what greeted them was not the opponents who were frustrated after conceding the goal, but all the Red Devils who were on high alert and were not affected by the goal at all.

"Don't let up!"

On the sidelines, coach Heynckes also shouted loudly.

Just before the semi-final kicked off, Bayern had already secured the league title and domestic cup title this season. Like Manchester United, they also needed the heavyweight title of the Champions League to decorate their Grand Slam honor room. As the team's meritorious coach, Heynckes knew that against a team like Manchester United, he must never relax until the last moment.

Facts soon confirmed the old coach's concerns, and Manchester United quickly responded to Bayern after the restart.
