I am the king of football

Chapter 190: The Great River
Manchester United's previous first penalty taker was Rooney, who has just announced that he has recovered from injury and is in the recovery stage. But in fact, Rooney's penalty success rate is only more than 70%. Behind him, the team's second penalty taker was Nani, who has an evil outside-of-the-foot kick.

At this moment, with Rooney absent from Nani's starting lineup, Nani naturally came to the ball.

As for Van Persie and Qin Hu, they are both new players after all. Qin Hu has not yet demonstrated his penalty kick ability, although he set an amazing record of 100% penalty kick success rate when he was in Hull City.

As for Van Persie, he is not a player who is good at penalty kicks. Even so, because of his abundant goal-scoring experience, he is now placed as Manchester United's third penalty taker. If Nani does not play, he will become the first penalty taker on the field.

But now, Qin Hu and Van Persie both have to stand outside the penalty area waiting for Nani's penalty.

"Nani stood in front of the ball. The Portuguese winger has an amazing outside-of-the-foot technique and the goalkeeper is often caught off guard by his passes and shots."

Looking at Nani standing in front of the ball and taking a deep breath, Zhan Jun was ready to praise him a few words to build momentum for the high probability of the next goal.

However, when the referee blew the whistle, things did not develop as expected.

"Nani starts to run! Oh, he obviously paused for a moment. Did he want to shake the opponent's goalkeeper? Then he followed up and shot! The ball flew to the left, but the power was too average..."

Zhan Jun, who was sitting in the commentary booth, could see from afar that Nani's shot was of average power, not to mention Muslera who was standing in front of the goal. He was not shaken by Nani at all and he leaped in the right direction and saved the ball.

"The ball was blocked! Nani..."

Zhan Jun wanted to express his emotion, but the development of today's game was determined not to go according to his ideas. When the ball was blocked and flew into the penalty area, chaos had already occurred.

All the players rushed into the penalty area. The ball that had just flown outside the small penalty area line and started falling became the target of at least five players at once. In this situation, it seemed that the only competition was who could kick faster.

But, the next second, a barrier appeared in front of all the players who wanted to rush towards the ball.

"Qin Hu! His whole body flew out, leaning sideways and shaking his head!"

"Oh!"

Qin Hu flew diagonally, relying on his sturdy body and amazing jumping ability, created a scene that stunned everyone on the field.

When Muslera, who had just saved a penalty and had no time to celebrate, reacted, the ball had already been headed into the left side of the goal by Qin Hu.

"The ball is in! It's in! The tiger attacks, the river cuts across! Qin Hu uses a horizontal diving header to shoot the ball into the goal!!!"

This was a flash of genius, and also a memory engraved in his body from countless header training sessions. When Qin Hu swung the ball into the goal and landed, his body was still like an insurmountable barrier separating the goal and the stunned players behind him.

"boom!!!"

Old Trafford was boiling again. Almost all of the nearly 70,000 Red Devils fans in the stands stood up. They excitedly punched the sky, and countless red flags waved above the stadium.

This was the second goal of the game, and also Qin Hu's second goal. Like the first goal, it was also full of the magical and unforgettable unique temperament of this young Chinese player. When Qin Hu stood up and rushed to the corner area to face the camera and performed the classic action of Popeye the Sailor Man, people saw the cuteness that only belongs to young people from him.

"He is a talented, hard-working, competitive and lovely player. I think, by this game, Manchester United fans have completely understood why Ferguson was able to buy Qin Hu before the end of the season. The old man must have seen something different in Qin Hu."

Zhan Jun was no less excited than the fans who were celebrating wildly in front of the TV, but he had a lot more to say than being excited.

"That is the glory of a superstar. Dear audience, please remember this moment. A star who will definitely make the entire football world crazy in the future has appeared."

No matter how people from other countries comment or view it, Qin Hu has never disappointed the fans in the distant Eastern country time and time again, and when he has broken the records and honors of Chinese players in European football time and time again, in the hearts of Chinese fans, he has become the number one player in Chinese football.

Yes, in just four rounds of the Premier League and half a Champions League, Qin Hu's achievements have already made him the number one player.

People don’t know that in many years to come, when Qin Hu has grown old and no longer appears on the court, his figure and his achievements will still be at the top of Chinese football like a great river.

On the court, when Qin Hu finished celebrating, the first half of the game was not far from over.

After the game resumed, although Galatasaray wanted to do something, the two-goal deficit and the excited Red Devils team meant that they ultimately gained nothing.

Throughout the half-time break, Old Trafford kept replaying Qin Hu's two goals. The Red Devils fans in the entire stadium never got tired of watching them, and everyone was excitedly discussing which one would be selected as the best goal of this round of the Champions League.

As for the victory of this game, need I say more? With the three defenders working hard and the attacking tiger selected, Manchester United is not far from their first victory in the Champions League.

In the locker room, Ferguson was also very satisfied with the players' performance in the first half of the game.

Although the defense line led by Vidic had some brief problems, the four experienced veterans made timely changes and solved the problems.

Needless to say, in offense, the team created quite a lot of opportunities from the flanks, and after missing a penalty kick, someone still remained calm and scored it, which is also a manifestation of the spirit of never giving up.

If there is anything upsetting, it may be that the team's penalty kicks have been a bit unstable recently, which has made Ferguson a little worried. From the end of last season to now, penalty kick problems have occurred frequently and must be properly resolved in the future.

"Okay, continue to follow the established tactics in the second half and expand the advantage as soon as possible. I will make substitutions based on the situation."

"Understood, Boss!"

Without making too many arrangements, Ferguson waved his hand to signal the team that they could rest.

The players quickly started chatting together, and the core of the topic naturally revolved around Qin Hu, who scored two goals. He performed so amazingly in his Champions League debut and he was only eighteen years old. The Manchester United players were not fools, and everyone could see the terrifying future and amazing brilliance in Qin Hu.
