Chapter 211 Irritability
Scholes' shot was barely blocked by David James.

Although the ball was blocked, it was not cleared vigorously, and it still landed in the Portsmouth penalty area.

Under the double defense of Ali Muntari and Icelander Herman Heradesson, Ronaldo still rushed towards the ball forcefully.

However, although Ronaldo arrived at the ball, due to the constant interference of the two people's various small movements, his footsteps were uncoordinated and his center of gravity was unstable. He was not able to step on the point during the final supplementary shot. The force was insufficient, the angle was not good, and the quality of the shot was not high. He flew directly to the vicinity of David James who stood up and was easily captured by David James.

Seeing that the shot was not shot well again, and Herman Heradesson was still pulling on his jersey with small movements, Ronaldo flicked hard angrily, and Herman Heradesson was thrown away.

Turning his head to look at the referee Ben Knight, seeing that the opponent did not express anything about Herman Herradson's defensive action, Ronaldo became more and more dissatisfied.

In addition to being dissatisfied with the opponent's defensive actions, Ronaldo was a little angry. He still saw the difference between himself and Sun Qi in getting rid of the defense, which gave him a lot of pressure.

It seems that it is getting more and more difficult for him to keep his position as the number one star of his team.

It is precisely because of this that Ronaldo is even more anxious to score goals by himself, relying on more goals to add points to his performance.

For Ivica Olic, who just responded in the middle, and Sun Qi, who was in a better position a little later, Ronaldo did not intend to pass the ball.

Even after missing the goal, Ronaldo just ran back with a solemn expression, without any intention of communicating with Sun Qi.

This made Sun Qi frowned involuntarily.

Off the field, Manchester United coach Ferguson was also somewhat dissatisfied with Ronaldo's state.

Perhaps it was restricted by the defensive strategy of the Portsmouth team's focus on marking, supplemented by various small movements to interfere. Ronaldo wanted to prove his strength more and more, which led to a somewhat unbalanced mentality.

Such a good opportunity, if Ronaldo passes the ball to Ivica Olic or Sun Qi, the effect may be better.

After all, Sun Qi and Ivica Olic have already run out of space just now. If they pass the ball to score, they will be more sure of scoring.

It is a pity that once a chance to score a goal is missed, it cannot be repeated.

Ferguson couldn't help but frowned seeing Ronaldo's dignified face, his preoccupation, and his intentional avoidance of Sun Qi.

Ronaldo, is there more pressure on Sun Qi's rise too fast?

Ferguson had a feeling in his heart that the redistribution of power between Ronaldo and Sun Qi in the team might come earlier.

This, for Manchester United, does not know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Compared with Ferguson's solemnity, Portsmouth coach Harry Redknapp also noticed these changes in Ronaldo.

With a flash of light in his eyes, Harry Redknapp immediately had a new idea.

It's just that it's almost halftime now, and Harry Redknapp is going to go to the locker room to arrange new tasks for the players during the halftime break.

In the 45th minute, Ronaldo ran out of space on the right and Scholes passed the ball to him immediately.

It's just that, during the time of receiving the ball, Herman Heradesson and Ali Muntari surrounded Ronaldo again.

Facing the encirclement and defense of the two, Ronaldo did not show any timidity, his eyes burst into fighting spirit, and he swung the ball neatly towards the bottom line, and then accelerated with his whole body, trying to forcefully get rid of the two men's encirclement and assistance before they reached their positions.

But at this moment, Herman Herdason stretched out his hand, grabbed Ronaldo's jersey, and stopped Ronaldo.

Referee Ben Knight, who was nearby and could see clearly, blew his whistle immediately, but instead of playing a card, he gave a verbal warning to Herman Herradson and another to Manchester United. A free kick from the wing.

Such a penalty naturally cannot satisfy Ronaldo.

Herman Heradesson, in this game, tried all kinds of small means when defending Ronaldo. Although he did not reach the point of a red card, he caused a lot of interference to Ronaldo and destroyed him. Several chances to shoot.

What's more, Herman Herradson's petty actions interfered with him so many times, and this time he was forcibly dragged away. No matter what, he had to be given a yellow card for warning.

But the referee, Ben Knight, only gave Herman Herradson a verbal warning, nothing more.

If it was Herman Heradesson who received a yellow card this time, then in the next defense, Herman Heridasson will definitely restrain his actions.

But a mere verbal warning, what is that?There was no way to restrain Herman Herradson.

With anger burning in his chest, Ronaldo walked into the Portsmouth penalty area with a sullen face.

Seeing Ronaldo in such a state, Sun Qi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

This time the free kick was taken by Sun Qilai.

Seeing Sun Qi standing in front of the ball, Portsmouth goalkeeper David James and other defensive players became more nervous.

Noticing this change, Ronaldo was even more depressed.

Especially when Herman Herradson and Ali Muntari continued to pester him, there were many small movements of pulling hands, which made it very difficult for Ronaldo to move and move, and his heart became more and more irritable.

Standing in front of the ball and observing the situation in the penalty area of ​​the Portsmouth team, Sun Qi naturally saw that Ronaldo was strictly guarded by the opponent.

For such a situation, it seems that it is not easy for Sun Qi to cooperate with him tactically.

After licking his dry lips, Sun Qi did not choose to shoot directly.

The goalkeeper David James is in a good position, and near the front and rear goalposts, there are also Portsmouth players guarding him. If he wants to shoot directly, he is not very sure.

But also because of the arrangement of the Portsmouth team, there are fewer players marking and grabbing positions in the penalty area. As long as the Manchester United players run, it is easy to have vacancies.

After confirming, Sun Qi raised his right hand and stretched out a finger.

In the penalty area of ​​the Portsmouth team, the players of the Manchester United team saw Sun Qi's gesture, immediately understood, and retreated towards the back of the penalty area.

Such a change also made the defensive players of the Portsmouth team have to move along with them, thinking that Sun Qi was going to pass the ball to the back point.

Of course, even if Sun Qi didn't handle it this way, they would not allow Manchester United's players to run out of space in the penalty area, and they naturally needed to continue to mark their respective defensive targets.
