Chapter 103 Rhythm Change
Seeing that Sun Qi's feet were already swinging downwards, and the shot had missed, Essien finally stretched his legs, ready to intercept the ball.

But Sun Qi didn't really want to hit the door, what he was waiting for was Essien's shot.

The pressing foot pulled back suddenly and kicked to the middle of the ball. Sun Qi directly used the tip of his toes to poke the ball from Essien's crotch to Dong Fangxuan in front of him.

When Essien realized that he had been fooled and wanted to withdraw his foot to block the ball, the action had already been made, and he couldn't retract it at all. He could only watch the ball pass him.

However, Sun Qi did not stop because of this, but continued to run forward quickly after dodging Essien.

Dong Fangxuan, who was in front, had already started to throw off Chelsea's defensive players and got a single-handed chance to face Chelsea goalkeeper Cudicini.

Looking at Cudicini's position, he saw that he had already started to attack and was a little far from the goal. Dong Fang raised his right foot and shot directly.

The ball flew over Cudicini's head smoothly and headed towards Chelsea's goal.

Seeing that the goal was about to be scored, Chelsea's captain, Terry, was still desperately chasing it back. Before the ball crossed the goal line, he kicked the ball out with a sliding shovel.

With Terry's rescue in front of the goal, Dong Fang missed the chance to score this time, and he couldn't help looking up at the sky in annoyance, and sighed a lot.

However, Dong Fangxuan soon started running again and continued to press in the frontcourt.

Following Manchester United's on-the-spot counterattack, Chelsea's young player Sinclair waded the ball a bit more and was intercepted by Dong Fang who rushed from behind.

Seeing that Terry was in front, Dong Fang chose to cross.

There, Kieran Richardson took a powerful long-range shot against the ball, but it missed the goal.

The lagging Chelsea team continued to strengthen their offense.

After calming down, Mikel stopped the ball, faked away Alan Smith, and crossed Kalou.

Kalou didn't take the ball too much, but directly kicked a long shot.

Unfortunately, Kalou failed to hold down the ball and flew high into the stands.

After the re-kick-off, Kuzchak's long pass was intercepted by Terry again and passed to the left back Bridge.

Bridge went to Essien, Essien passed to Makelele, and Makelele split to Paul Ferreira.

Paulo Ferreira made a one-two with Kalou, passed Kieran Richardson, continued to the bottom, and crossed.

In the Manchester United penalty area, Kuzchak attacked, grabbed the ball before Sinclair, and double-boxed the ball.

But the ball fell near Makelele outside the penalty area.

Makelele volleyed directly with his left foot to meet the ball. Unfortunately, this shot hit Sinclair, who was caught off guard, and deflected out of the baseline.

This time, when serving the goal kick, Kuzchak chose a short pass to Wes Brown, Wes Brown passed to the full-back Kieran Lee, and Kieran Lee crossed Sun Qi.

Sun Qi stopped the ball and turned around. After getting rid of Sinclair, he continued to take the ball forward.

Seeing Mikel and Wright-Phillips Jr. coming to siege, Sun Qi made a diagonal pass to Igors in the front right.

Igors looked for Solskjaer again, and Solskjaer passed the ball with his heel, which was given to Dong Fangxuan who followed up.

Dong Fang stopped the ball, turned around, and after getting rid of Bridge and Lars Diarra's defense, he blasted the goal vigorously from outside the penalty area, but unfortunately missed the near corner of the goal.

The game has come to 38 minutes, and Manchester United won the opportunity to set the ball in the frontcourt.

Igors took the penalty, but Terry made a header before Dong Fangxuan.

But Terry's clearance ball fell to Alan Smith's feet.

Alan Smith kicked the goal directly without hesitation, but was blocked by Bridge. After the ball hit Bridge's feet, it deflected the direction.

Inside the penalty area, Heinze followed up smartly, rushed to the front of the ball, and shot angrily at the ball.

But Heinze's shot ended up hitting the side netting.

On the court, the two sides continued to fight fiercely in the midfield.

What is surprising is that even though Mikel is not far or close to marking Sun Qi, Sun Qi seems to have calmed down, without any outstanding performance, only passing and receiving the ball occasionally, but most of them are passing back and crossing pass.

But if this is the case, Mikel dare not be careless anymore.

Whether with the ball or without the ball, Mikel followed Sun Qi closely, wherever he went.

Even so, he watched helplessly as Sun Qi completed a few passes, and then ran lazily along with Manchester United's formation, even leading him back and forth.

Moreover, he is a defender, and consumes much more energy and physical strength than Sun Qi.

Seeing Sun Qi jogging there leisurely, and sometimes there was a burst of quick start, which made him have to follow the start. After going back and forth like this for more than ten or twenty times, Mikel felt like a fool. Began to get irritable.

Keeping an eye on Mikel's condition, Sun Qi immediately noticed the change in Mikel's mood, and couldn't help squinting his eyes dangerously.

Once again, he ran forward lazily, after receiving a pass from Wes Brown, knowing that Mikel had already activated, and following behind him, Sun Qi's eyes flickered as he wanted to force him to pass back.

Lifting his foot slightly, he passed the ball, but when Mikel's pace slowed down, Qi Sun slightly lifted his right foot and missed the ball.

Then, Sun Qi turned around quickly. Amidst Mikel's astonished expression, Sun Qi flicked the ball with his left foot, changed the rolling direction of the ball, and just dodged past Mikel's side lightly.

When Mikel reached out reflexively to pull Sun Qi, it was already too late.

Sun Qi had already started one step ahead, and took the ball to open the distance between him and Mikel.

Driven by the rhythm of Manchester United, although Chelsea's players maintained a good formation, Sun Qi's sudden start caught them off guard.

Las Diarra and Kalou, who were not far from Mikel, also started, but they were still a step behind and could not contain Sun Qi.

And Makelele, who was following behind Mikel, was also tense this time, staring at Sun Qi.

This time, Sun Qi continued to dribble the ball, but raised his head slightly, and glanced at Alan Smith and Igors, who were quickly plugging in, as well as Dong Fangxuan and Solskjaer in front.

After that, Sun Qi played a two-on-one with Alan Smith, once again ate Makelele raw with speed, and passed the ball diagonally to Kieran Richardson on the wing before Essien shoveled.

Kieran Richardson goes forward and hits a low cross.

Inside the penalty area, both Dong Fangxuan and Terry rushed towards the ball's landing point.

In the end, it was Terry who took the lead and cleared the pass out of the penalty area.
