I am the king of football

Chapter 273 Meteoric Fire
Twenty minutes into the game, when Manchester United kicked off again, the constant attacks between the two sides at the beginning came to an end, with each team scoring a goal. The excitement of the game began to attract more and more fans from all over the world to watch it.

"Both teams started trying to control the ball, and the competition mainly took place in the middle of the field."

After the restart, the defenses of both sides became tighter. Both the Manchester United defense, which was punished by Ferguson after conceding the goal, and the Blue Moon defense led by Kompany became quite serious.

The forwards cannot always be the protagonists of a game. As the last line of defense in front of the team's goal, the defenders also have dignity.

This dignity was reflected in the fact that the forwards of both teams soon had fewer direct shooting opportunities. They had to pass the ball back to the middle to look for new opportunities when facing the tight defense in front of them.

In this case, it is natural that the game develops into a midfield contest between the two sides.

The midfielders on both sides may not be as star-studded as the forwards, but they are the best combination that their coaches have explored after half a season of battles, so their strength is unquestionable.

Manchester United, who were deployed in a 442 formation, initially relied solely on Carrick and Cleverley to maintain the situation, but soon with the entry of Yaya Toure into the battle, Valencia and Ashley Young also gave up moving forward to the sides and instead moved inwards back to the center.

The eight midfielders from both teams kept passing the ball and looking for opportunities. For a moment, although the two teams had different formations, the tactics they implemented were surprisingly consistent - seizing the initiative in the midfield.

In this situation, Qin Hu and Aguero, who had just highlighted their performances, temporarily disappeared from people's sight. Although the team would occasionally give them chances, the chances to directly threaten the opponent's goal were very few.

This situation lasted for at least twenty minutes. Although there were no goals during this period, the game was no less exciting. The midfield play of both sides was very neat and tidy. Whether it was a steal or a pass after dribbling past the opponent, it was very refreshing and enjoyable to watch.

The fans in the stands kept cheering for their team. Although the Blue Moon fans were loud, they still couldn't stop the singing of the Manchester United fans.

The incident occurred in the 42nd minute of the game. After more than 20 minutes of fighting in the midfield, the defending side's movements began to become bigger, which led to a gradual increase in fouls.

At that time, Carrick dribbled the ball past the midfield and faced with Silva's pressure, he chose to pass the ball directly to Van Persie's feet. Van Persie, who had just got the ball, was tackled by Yaya Toure.

This tackle was very bold, almost anticipating Van Persie's touch, but what Yaya Toure didn't expect was that Van Persie could pull the ball back a little bit at the moment of touching the ball.

It was that little bit, Yaya Toure's foot not only missed the ball, but he also flew over the ground and knocked over Van Persie who was pulling the ball.

"Shhh!!!"

"It's a foul. Yaya Toure tackled Van Persie on the right side of the penalty area. The referee showed him a yellow card. This is a warning for the increasingly aggressive actions of both sides in the past period of time."

Zhan Jun fully recognized the referee's yellow card. When the pace of the game slowly develops towards a fight, it is very important to calm the players on both sides down in time.

“Shh~shh~shh~~!!!”

However, the Manchester City fans at the scene did not think so. After the referee stopped the game and gave Yaya Toure a yellow card, they began to boo loudly, and from time to time they could hear curses from the boos.

There is no doubt that this is the home fans putting pressure on the referee. They are using the home advantage to gain benefits for their own team.

On the field, Van Persie was scratched and fell hard. Although he was not tackled, no one would be safe if he was hit by Yaya Toure's big body.

Seeing Van Persie lying on the ground curled up in pain, Yaya Toure, who was shown a yellow card by the referee, walked to Van Persie while arguing with the referee and tried to pick him up to stand up to prove that he did not touch him at all.

At this moment, Qin Hu, who was running over quickly from the side, became even more furious. He was very angry about his opponent's foul and disrespectful behavior, so he walked over and pushed Yaya Toure away.

"Don't you fucking touch him!"

"FXX!"

"Damn it!" In an instant, the players from both teams, who had just been suppressing their emotions, rushed towards each other. It was obvious that everyone had accumulated a lot of anger over the past period of time.

"Are you okay Robin?"

While Carrick and others were at the front, Qin Hu squatted down and looked at Van Persie. As the team doctor came in to check and treat him, Van Persie's pain was relieved.

"I feel like it shouldn't be a big deal, but I need to slow down a bit."

"We'll take you to the sidelines right now."

The examination was completed quickly and the team doctor confirmed that there were no bone or ligament injuries. They lifted the stretcher and carried Van Persie to the sidelines and signaled to the referee that the players needed to rest for a while.

"Oh~ Van Persie was not replaced after being carried away. It seems that the injury should not be serious."

Everyone reacted after watching this scene. Fortunately, the injury was not serious. If Van Persie was really injured by this collision, it can be predicted that the game would be full of tension.

"Okay, let's take a look at the field first. Manchester United got a free kick opportunity in a very good position, near the top of the penalty area. This looks very suitable for Qin Hu to play."

Not only Zhan Jun, when the referee pointed out the position of the free kick on the court, almost everyone who knew the characteristics of Manchester United's free kick shooters thought of this.

The position is relatively straight and the distance is relatively far, so it is almost impossible to hit a threatening curve ball. Only great force can solve the problem, and Qin Hu's powerful free kicks have actually hit the target several times.

"Qin, come here."

After Carrick and Qin Hu stood in front of the ball for a while, he directly signaled Qin Hu to take the penalty and then ran towards Manchester City's penalty area without even making a fake move.

It makes almost no difference whether there is interference in this position or not. The player taking the penalty must find the right angle and use great force, otherwise the ball will be confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper.

"Qin Hu is standing in front of the ball alone. It turns out that he will take the free kick. Let's see how he performs."

“Sh ...

The whistle sounded, Manchester City's four-man wall was ready to go, and Joe Hart stood on the left side of the goal and stared at Qin Hu.

"Start running, one step, two steps, put your left leg on the ground and swing your right foot to hit the ball!!!"

"Bang!!!"

The sound was like thunder and exploded in an instant.

A white afterimage streaked across the field, like a meteor or a flying fire. Before anyone could react, the ball had already hit the upper right corner of the goal.

"This, this, this ball is too fast!!! The ball goes in!!! Qin Hu~, scored with a powerful free kick!!!"

Joe Hart stood in front of the goal with his eyes wide open. He swore that he had never seen such a quick free kick in his life...
