I am the king of football

Chapter 257: Its Power is Like a Tiger
Time passed by minute by minute, and thirty minutes had passed since the start of the second half. The score on the field remained unchanged, but Manchester United's offensive changes were increasing and real.

Whether it was Zhan Jun in the stands or the fans in front of the TV, they were all looking forward to the scene of breaking the opponent's turtle shell in this ever-changing situation.

As for the home fans, they watched the game with a very nervous mood.

There is no Manchester United without a comeback. As the team that is best at comebacks in football, Manchester United's goal rate after 70 minutes of the game is quite high. Their resilience allows the team to easily hold on until the opponent's form declines.

At this moment, when the game time reached the 77th minute, Galatasaray, which had been defending under the opponent's high-pressure attack, finally couldn't hold on anymore.

However, since there were no players on the team's bench who could be used for plug-and-play, their coach still chose not to make substitutions.

As for Ferguson, the old coach was watching everything on the field calmly. His team had been accumulating strength since the start of the second half, and now the rhythm was completely under the control of the players on the field.

In this case, why bother disrupting the state of his disciples by replacing people?

Full trust creates great goals, and this statement was later proven true.

"Manchester United once again launched an attack from the wing, Rooney gained a great advantage in the physical confrontation, and he moved forward quickly on the right like a missile."

Running all the way, Rooney, who received the ball from Scholes again, successfully attracted the attention of two defensive players. In order to prevent him from successfully going down the bottom and creating a threat, the opponents had to move in this direction.

Rooney was observing the positions of his teammates from the moment he took the ball. When a defensive midfielder and a full-back came over at the same time, the ball whooshed out from between the two of them in the next second.

"A diagonal cross was made, Qin Hu ran to the position and got the ball!"

"Shu~"

Before Zhan Jun finished speaking, Qin Hu had already passed the ball again. The moment he turned sideways to take the ball, he saw Shinji Kagawa who had quickly cut into the middle.

"The two defensive players missed the ball, and the ball fell to Shinji Kagawa, who shot directly!!!"

"Oh!"

A powerful volley flew towards the goal from the front of Galatasaray's penalty area. Shinji Kagawa's long shot had an outstanding angle, but this time it was sudden, and he just shook off the defensive player who was chasing him behind him and shot directly, which made this long shot not so perfect.

"The ball flew to the upper right corner of the goal. At this angle, the goalkeeper! He jumped high and touched the ball, and the ball was rushed into the penalty area!"

I have to say that this diving save was quite beautiful. The Galatasaray goalkeeper was still congratulating himself for his quick reaction while in the air. This save can definitely be included in the highlights of the game.

Unfortunately, the next second, a figure who had never placed all his hopes on his teammates since the ball was passed appeared.

"Qin Hu rushed into the penalty area, jumped high and headed the ball!!!"

"Oh!"

Qin Hu, wearing the No. 19 jersey, appeared in the air, shaking off all the defensive players. For the first time in this game, his stretched body was finally displayed in front of everyone like an eagle.

"Shh!"

The goalkeeper, who had just finished saving the ball and fell to the ground, witnessed the entire process of Qin Hu's header almost the moment he landed. When he saw Qin Hu heading the ball towards the goal behind him and then lost sight of the ball, he closed his eyes in despair. "It's in! It's in!!! In the 79th minute of the game, Qin Hu! He scored with a header! He didn't let the chance slip past him again, what a great pressure! His momentum is like a tiger, unstoppable!!!"

Zhan Jun shouted at the top of his lungs, and the Manchester United expeditionary force and a group of Chinese fans who came for Qin Hu also burst into loud cheers at the same time.

"Qin! Qin! Qin!"

"Strong wind! Strong wind! Show off my mighty power!!!"

In contrast, the more than 40,000 home team fans in the entire stadium were completely silent. They had all accepted their team's intention to keep the one point at home, and also paid the price for the team's ugly performance.

But now, the goal was lost, and it happened when the game was nearly eighty minutes old, which really left them speechless.

"Roar!"

Qin Hu, who rushed to the corner flag area and finally broke his opponent's turtle shell, could hardly conceal his excitement. He grabbed the corner flag on the sidelines, pulled it out, and waved it several times towards the stands that cheered for him.

It was not until he saw the referee running towards him that he quickly put the corner flag back in and then ran back to his own bench with his teammates to celebrate with Ferguson.

At this moment Sir Alex Ferguson finally smiled. The opponent had set up a heavy array of Arhats to obstruct his disciples, but now it seemed that everything was just a passing cloud.

"In the 80th minute, we finally broke through the opponent's iron defense. Manchester United's resilience was once again demonstrated. Of course, Qin Hu's finishing ability as a striker was also evident. He would not let go of any opportunity that came his way."

He slowly summarized the score at the moment, and then Ferguson announced Manchester United's plan to call it a day on the field with three consecutive substitutions that were very humorous.

"Two defensive midfielders, a defender, Qin Hu and Rooney were all substituted, and Scholes also went off to rest. It seems that Manchester United is not going to give Galatasaray any chance to counterattack."

This is indeed the case. After being annoyed by the opponent's iron bucket formation for nearly a whole game, Ferguson also deployed a 451 formation in his own half. His players understood and started to defend tightly as soon as the game resumed.

This time, it was the home team's turn to feel the despair facing the bus. They changed their formation to 433 and launched death attacks again and again, but in the end they were unable to create even a single shot.

Although both teams had broken the bus, the performances of the two teams were worlds apart.

This is called the gap.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score remained at 0-1. The home team Galatasaray suffered a bitter defeat at home and had to accept the outcome of being defeated twice by Manchester United.

"This game is indeed a test for Manchester United. When a team faces a purely defensive team, whether they can break through the opponent's goal and take points home is actually a test of the strength of all giants. Now, there is no doubt that Manchester United has passed it~"

Strong confrontations are only a minority. For the giants, most of the time they face teams weaker than themselves in a season. Only when they can still get most of the points against the opponent's tenacious defense and a style of play that does not seek victory but only points, will the champion be truly born.

On the night of the game, Qin Hu, who helped the team break the defense, once again became the protagonist of the Manchester Evening News.
