Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

He patted his arm, indicating that Fran had stopped the ball with his hand first.

Fran argued that he stopped the ball with his shoulder.

But the referee believed what he saw.

The playback on the big screen confirmed this.

Twenty-fourth minute.

Deng Kai took another long-range shot. He has many opportunities in this position today and doesn't need to pass the ball inside at all.

This time, Fletcher was finally in position and blocked the ball out of bounds.

Thirty-third minute.

Forlán's long-range shot created a corner kick.

Davis took the corner kick, Forlán headed the ball on at the near post and scored directly.

One to one!

The young Manchester United players have surprisingly scored a goal.

Or rather, Fran's individual ability was clearly demonstrated in this match.

He is a player who can single-handedly change the score.

Even so, he could only rank fourth among Manchester United's formidable attacking line!

Let alone Van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo, Solskjaer's pecking order is even higher than his.

Cristiano Ronaldo: Why did you mention Van Nistelrooy's name first? Am I not standing high enough?

Thirty-eighth minute.

Deng Kai used a Marseille turn in the middle to get past the flustered Fletcher, and then passed the ball to Ribery.

After receiving the ball, Ribery dribbled two steps and entered the penalty area, finally completing a shot from a tight angle.

Unfortunately, it hit the pillar and bounced off.

Forty-fourth minute.

Deng Kai passed the ball across to Baggio.

Baggio attempted a curling shot from the left side of the penalty area, but it didn't go very far and was saved by Barthez.

The first half ended in a 1-1 draw.

Manchester United performed quite well.

This group of youth academy graduates actually withstood Manchester City's attack.

It's worth noting that while Manchester City's Premier League ranking is outside the top ten, their attack is definitely among the top three in the Premier League.

If we disregard goals conceded, they have scored more goals than Arsenal this season!

Second half, 51st minute.

Deng Kai's forward run drew the attention of the Manchester United players.

Toure seized the opportunity and made a through pass.

Ribery pounced on the loose ball and fired a low shot to score.

But again, the linesman raised his hand immediately.

Ribery was offside.

Manchester United escaped a close call.

Fifty-fifth minute.

Deng Kai made a quick move down the wing, outmaneuvering Luo Qi before crossing the ball.

O'Shea, who was prepared, leaped and raised his leg to block the ball, which bounced back.

Grosso pulled up in the back.

Deng Kai bent down directly.

Grosso delivered a first-time cross, which grazed the back of Deng Kai's head and flew into the penalty area.

Deng Kai's cross has already thrown the penalty area into chaos.

Robbie Fowler was the first to react to Grosso's cross; he didn't even jump, but headed the ball down at the near post.

The football bounced off the ground and into the Manchester United goal.

Two to one!

Manchester City have taken the lead again!

Manchester United's young players started to get anxious, and their actions became noticeably more aggressive.

While increased competition is a good thing, poor positioning can easily lead to overshooting.

A sense of location, except for a very few geniuses, is highly dependent on experience.

Isn't experience exactly what young people lack?

For a time, Manchester United's attack was fierce, but their weaknesses also began to appear.

Sixty-first minute.

Davis dribbled past his opponent and then cut back to find Fran.

Fran drove the ball through the wall.

Danny Webber got a one-on-one opportunity.

But in his nervousness, he pushed it off course.

Manchester United fans were in an uproar.

This is definitely a sign of excessive psychological pressure.

And this is definitely not a situation unique to Danny Webber.

Many Manchester United players are currently in this situation.

Sixty-eighth minute.

Deng Kai made a quick dribble down the wing, nutmegged his opponent, and cut inside before chipping a pass to the far post.

Ribery was knocked down by Brown while trying to get a header in the penalty area.

The referee did not award a penalty.

Ribery received a yellow card for a complaint.

Logically speaking, it should have been a penalty kick.

In the 72nd minute, Manchester City substituted Adriano for Baggio.

Fowler moved to Baggio's position as a shadow striker, and Adriano played as a center forward.

In the 74th minute, the turning point of the game occurred.

Adriano dropped back to receive the ball, turned, and flicked it to prepare for a shot.

Davis, in a defensive scramble, tackled Adriano from the side with a flying tackle.

This was a very dangerous move, and Adriano almost got injured as a result.

The referee showed a straight red card.

Davis left the court in tears.

Seventy-ninth minute.

Maicon and Ribery combined on the wing, successfully breaking through.

boom!

Maicon passed the ball across to the middle.

Adriano's run stretched Manchester United's defense, allowing the ball to pass to the far post.

Fowler reached out and curled a shot, which was enough to successfully bypass Barthez's hands.

Three to one!

The outcome of the match is already decided!

Maksa then substituted Torres for Ribery and Thiago Silva for Hierro.

Eighty-fourth minute.

Torres' forward run was brought down by Fletcher, creating a free-kick opportunity.

Deng Kai took a tactical free kick, passing it to Maicon in front.

Maicon delivered a cross.

Touré leaped high and headed the ball into the net with a powerful header.

Four to one!

Manchester City killed the game.

With three whistles, the match ended with a score of 4-1.

The Manchester City players were overjoyed.

Because I got the bonus!

The Manchester City fans at the stadium were overjoyed.

Twenty-eight years!

Manchester City's last EFL Cup victory was 28 years ago!

This is their most recent title win in the English top flight, FA Cup, EFL Cup, and Community Shield.

Although they won the League One title last season, such second-tier league titles are rarely counted in actual honors calculations.

Manchester City fans were crying their eyes out.

There are only a handful of champions each season, and they never imagined that Manchester City would actually win one of them.

This season is enough!

The camera quickly focused on a particular fan.

It's Keira Knightley.

She came to watch the game today.

This English rose is becoming increasingly famous. She successfully entered the stadium and ran to Deng Kai's side.

"Congratulations! Can you sign this for me?" Kayla came over and gave Deng Kai a hug, handing him a marker as she did so.

"Of course!" Deng Kai said, holding the marker, then felt awkward.

Because Kayla suddenly ripped open her collar, revealing a white bra underneath: "Write it here!"

amount……

"This..." Deng Kai hesitated, unsure of what to do.

After all, right next to that white bra was white flesh.

"I have to use this to get back at Katie Price," Kayla explained. "Her fans and friends have been harassing me lately."

"So I'm going to do something she'll never be able to do in her entire life."

"You can't sign this name for her too, or all my efforts will be wasted."

"Besides, don't act so stressed. It's just a piece of cloth; I'm not asking you to sign it directly on my chest!"

Since Kayla has said that, what can Deng Kai do?

He quickly signed his name to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Even when Deng Kai lifted the championship trophy as captain, the lingering fragrance still remained in his hands.

And so, Manchester City's first championship was filled with a special fragrance.

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
