I am the king of football

Chapter 249 I’m coming
"Yellow card, he only gave a yellow card. The referee was showing mercy. Mertesacker pushed Qin Hu, who was about to get rid of him, but he only got a yellow card..."

The referee's decision seemed quite biased to Zhan Jun and the fans in front of the TV. Such fouls should result in a red card in eight out of ten games.

However, according to the replay, Qin Hu had not completely shaken off Mertesacker when he committed the final foul, and the ball was pushed forward by Qin Hu but not in front of him.

Perhaps it was because of this scene that the referee, not wanting to end this evenly matched battle directly, finally gave a yellow card instead of letting the Gunners fight with one less player.

As Qin Hu got up from the ground angrily, the referee did not waste time and gave Manchester United a direct free kick at the foul site.

This is a free kick just to the left of the penalty area line, which can be said to be a very threatening area.

"Manchester United got a direct free kick opportunity, and Van Persie, Qin Hu and Carrick came to the ball."

From a distance, three Manchester United players began to discuss with their heads down. Such a threatening free kick was a rare chance for the team to score.

"This distance is too close. I can't make an arc. Choose one of you to take the penalty."

Carrick chose to quit directly. He looked at Qin Hu and Van Persie and waited for them to make a decision.

"I……"

"Let me do it!"

Seeing that Van Persie was hesitant to speak, Qin Hu didn't hesitate any more. He was furious about Mertesacker's unreasonable foul, and this free kick was a good opportunity for him to vent his anger.

"it is good!"

Van Persie and the other man also knew that Qin Hu had a skill in taking powerful free kicks. Seeing that this young man was so proactive, they both nodded. Qin Hu was always in excellent form in big battles, so there was nothing wrong in handing the ball over to him.

"Okay, under Mannone's command, the gunners formed a four-man wall. At such a close distance, this number of people is more than enough."

"Shhh!!!"

After Zhan Jun took a last look at the preparations of both sides, the referee blew the whistle to urge the free throw.

“Carrick was the first to run past the ball, he cut diagonally into the penalty area and took away a defender!”

Without waiting for Carrick's back to disappear, Van Persie started quickly. He came to the ball and paused. Many of his former teammates in front of him jumped up instantly as if they had PTSD.

Once upon a time, even in Arsenal, which was full of top midfielders, Van Persie was good at taking free kicks and penalties whenever he wanted. Many Gunners players naturally thought that he would be the one to take the penalty this time.

Unfortunately, they were wrong this time.

Qin Hu rushed towards the ball with full firepower after Van Persie left the ball. His muscular thighs were tensed with all their strength at the moment of touching the ball and then released instantly.

"Oh!"

Like a rocket bursting from the ground, the ball suddenly soared into the air after leaving Qin Hu's feet, flew over the falling wall of people, and then went straight into the upper left corner of the goal as Mannone looked dumbfounded.

"Too, too fast!!! The ball goes in! A powerful free kick scores! Qin Hu's free kick goes straight into the dead corner of the goal. This is an unstoppable free kick!" "Roar!!!"

Qin Hu, who had no baggage from Van Persie's old club, clenched his fists and glared at Mertesacker who had just pushed him from behind, then let out an angry roar. He then rushed towards the stands of his diehard fans and waved his right hand vigorously.

"boom!!!"

"Qin! Qin! Qin!"

This time, Manchester United fans in the stands could celebrate wildly. Rather than being half-hearted out of consideration for Van Persie's decision not to celebrate, everyone still liked the fiery momentum of their little bully.

"Haha, Old Trafford has finally reached its first climax, 2-0, Manchester United easily leads their opponents by two goals at home. Compared to Manchester United, who have only lost once this season, the Gunners are still too weak in terms of offense~"

Zhan Jun pointed out Arsenal's problems simply and clearly. They had a good midfield configuration and created more than one high-altitude ball opportunity just now. However, every forward penetration and pass was killed in advance by Manchester United because Giroud was not a solo striker.

On the sidelines, Wenger's brows were furrowed, and it was obvious that the professor was also thinking about how to play the game next.

Qin Hu's goal came thirty minutes into the game. After his lively interaction with his fans, the two sides kicked off again and spent the remaining ten minutes of the first half.

Arsenal, who were in possession of the ball, did not make any more futile attempts at high balls. They first gradually controlled the ball, and then several midfielders began to move forward in layers.

Arteta and Ramsey moved back, Cazorla and Poldoski moved forward, leaving Wilshere in the middle, and the lineup briefly changed to 4213, which finally increased their offensive power in the frontcourt.

"Giroud headed the ball in the penalty area and Poldoski made a shot!!!"

In the 42nd minute of the game, Arsenal organized an opportunity to directly threaten the goal. However, because their cooperation was too predictable, when the ball was shot by Poldoski, De Gea had already gone down the bottom and was ready.

"The ball was saved again. This shot is still not threatening enough~"

This is purely a problem of the striker's shooting skills. If Qin Hu and Van Persie were to take over, Zhan Jun believed that the ball would definitely go in. The opportunities created by the Gunners players were already threatening enough.

When this direct threat failed to score, it was already the final stage of the first half. As De Gea threw the ball away, Arsenal could no longer snatch the ball from their opponents.

“Sh ...

"Okay, the whistle for the end of the first half blew, 2-0, Manchester United leads Arsenal by two goals at home. Former Gunners player Robin van Persie killed his former team just three minutes into the game, and Qin Hu once again displayed his powerful free kick skills. Let's look forward to the wonderful performances that the two teams will bring us in the second half."

On the pitch, while Zhan Jun was summarizing, the whole Manchester United team, who were full of fighting spirit and following the cheerful Ferguson back to the player tunnel, formed a sharp contrast with the Arsenal team, who were looking down and dejected.

The competition between the two sides in the first half has obviously made the morale contrast before the game evenly matched become very different. If Wenger cannot come up with some magic formula during the half-time break, the suspense of this game may be killed earlier than people think.

As the screens at Old Trafford began to replay the threatening attacks of the two teams in the first half, the entire stadium gradually calmed down. The fans went to the food area to buy wine and fried chicken, and everyone waited leisurely for the start of the second half.
