Chapter 874 The Arc
No matter how unbelievable this scene is, facts are facts, and the facts are Rong Guang standing alone in front of the football, ready to kick a free kick.

Seeing that the wall has been lined up and the free throw players are in place, the referee blew his whistle.

With a whistle, Rong Guang ran up.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, and many people's eyes were still in disbelief.

This is really a historic scene-the first free kick in Rong's career!
Judging from his approach to running, he is quite professional...

After a two-step run-up, Rong Guang stepped on the right side of the football with his right foot, and at the same time, his body leaned back slightly, with his arms spread out to maintain balance.

Twist the waist and abdomen, driving the left leg to swing over, the outer instep of the left foot is slightly twisted outward, the ankle is fixed firmly, and a stable posture is maintained.

Then, the inside of the left foot was whipped hard on the lower left side of the football.

The football was kicked into the air.

All eyes were fixed on the football, they saw the football flying to the far corner and crossing the human wall from above!

The wall jumped up, but was completely unable to stop the football.

The football flew over their heads, and some Manchester United players who jumped high could even feel the wind blowing over their heads, and then blowing their hair...

call!

When van der Sar was directing the wall, because he didn't know Rongguang's habit of kicking free kicks at all, he followed the general rules and asked the wall to seal the near corner of the goal as much as possible, while he himself stood slightly in the back corner. This is a very normal choice.

In this way, when the football flies over, he only needs to take a step across, and then rise into the air to ensure that the football will be saved.Because of his height and long arms, he has to stand very in the middle like some short goalkeepers.

But when he saw the football flying from behind the wall, he didn't immediately move to the near corner and flew over.Because he found that the football seemed... to come to where he was...

So he hesitated, shouldn't it be a curveball?

There are of course many kinds of free kicks, but the one with the highest proportion is the curve kick, which is also known as the "banana ball", which means that the trajectory drawn by the football in the air is like the arc of a banana.

If Rongguang had never kicked a free kick before, he should have chosen to kick a curve ball, because this kind of ball is also the best kick.

But why did the football fly towards him?Is it a powerful shot?

But looking at the action of his shot just now, I don't think it was a vigorous attack...

How could this be?
Should I continue to pounce on the near corner?
These thoughts instantly appeared in Van der Sar's mind, making him undecided.

And just when he couldn't make up his mind, the football in the air changed.

The football that was flying towards him suddenly turned a corner after crossing the human wall!
Turned to the near corner!
Really banana balls!

Van der Sar was taken aback, but it was too late for him to make any more saves. He didn't even have time to jump, so he could only stand there, turning his head and watching the football fly into his goal...

"Rong's direct free kick, let's see how he hits..." Just as John Mortensen finished speaking, he saw Rong Guang take a shot.

In the eyes of Van der Sar, a world-class goalkeeper, every process of the flying football can be divided into steps, and then analyzed, and finally a result is obtained so that he can make a save.

So he saw the football flying directly towards him first, then turned a corner in the air, and was caught off guard.

But in fact, in the eyes of most people, it only takes a second from when Rongguang kicks the football to when the football flies into the goal.

So what everyone sees is that the football draws a very obvious arc in the air, bypasses the wall of people, falls again, and drills into the goal.

The goalkeeper Van der Sar didn't move, just turned his head and watched the football enter the goal...

"Beautiful!!! Rong——!!!"

John Mortensen raised his arms and shouted.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!"

"Wonderful free kick!" Alan Hansen couldn't help shouting. "It's beautiful! When Rong stood in front of this football, who would have thought that he could kick such a free kick? The perfect arc, the height, speed and arc are very, very suitable!"

"That's right! This goal was completely beyond Manchester United's expectations. You can see how surprised Van der Sar was when he stood in front of the goal and didn't move at all..." John Mortensen said.

After kicking the ball, Rong Guang tilted his body and looked towards the goal. He also wanted to see if the football had gone in, but part of his vision was blocked by the human wall.

He saw the ball fly into the goal with perfect precision, just like he had done countless times in training.

So he clenched his fist and waved it vigorously.

Become!

As soon as he turned around, the excited Manchester City teammates rushed up. He was hit by Elano and was almost thrown down. He took several steps back to stabilize his body.

But more teammates have rushed forward.

"Nice job, Ron!"

"You surprised them! Hahaha, look at their faces! It's so cool!"

"Van der Sar froze in place! He didn't expect you to kick a free kick at all!!"

They shouted excitedly, as if they scored the goal themselves.

They could see Rong Guang's hard work on the free kick, and the crazy training made everyone bow down in front of him.

Although he had never taken a free kick in any game before, none of his teammates doubted his ability, because they all knew that Rongguang was so powerful!
※※※

"Manchester City lead Manchester United 1-0! It was Rong who scored the goal! He blasted away Manchester United's goal with a direct free kick! This is really a bit of a surprise! Because Rong has no record of scoring a free kick before... let alone a goal, he doesn't even have a record of kicking a free kick!"

"Rong's goal caught Manchester United by surprise. Only ten minutes into the FA Cup match, Manchester City took the lead. For a team like Manchester City, they like to play this kind of downwind ball...The next game will be difficult for Manchester United. You must know that since this year, when Manchester City took the lead in the game, they have never lost a game!"

Ferguson stood in front of the coach's bench, staring blankly at the Manchester City players who were cheering and celebrating.

He never expected that Rong Guang would kick a free kick.

If it is said that the ball was made by glory... Ferguson would not believe it. It is okay for a reporter to write such a statement to deceive an idiot. If he thinks it is a glory... that is self-deception!
Look at the interaction between Harman and Elano before this free kick. There was an exchange between them. Although Ferguson didn’t know what they talked about, it can be seen from the fact that Harman and Elano left quickly and gave the free throw opportunity to Rongguang. Both Manchester City players are very confident in Rongguang’s free kick ability.They were forced to give up their glorious positions, and the expressions on their faces would not be so relaxed and happy. Aren't they still smiling?
Now it seems that this smile is clearly the confidence in Rongguang!

As players who get along with Rongguang day and night, they are well aware of Rongguang's free kick level.Although Rong Guang had never played in a game before...

But he must have scored a lot of them in training!
See **** ghosts!
In this way, what is the use of my foul tactics?

Ferguson would love to drop something...

※※※

When Ferguson was still in a daze, in front of Manchester City's coaching bench and bench, it had become a sea of ​​joy.

Benitez hugs his assistants.

The rest of the players were cheering, celebrating the glorious goal and City's lead.

"Boy!" assistant coach Mark Bowen said to Benitez, his tone very excited. "Ferguson's foul tactics are over!"

Benitez laughed: "He must not have thought of that, ha!"

Being able to deflate the wily Ferguson in this regard, Benitez is really in a good mood.

Martin Petrov did not play in this game. He was on the bench and witnessed how Rongguang kicked the football into the goal.

When he saw the football fly into the goal, he jumped up and shouted.

At this moment, he didn't think about whether his original first free kick taker could still keep after Rong Guang was able to kick free kicks now.

From the bottom of his heart, he was happy for Glory's success.

As Rongguang's first teacher on free kicks, he witnessed with his own eyes how Rongguang went from being completely incompetent to being able to hit a free kick.The effort involved is really unimaginable for ordinary people.

Glory for working so hard deserves to be rewarded for such success.

Otherwise it is unreasonable!

Rong Guang's goal also caused some discussion in the media audience.

"Rong will kick a free kick?"

"I don't know... I've never heard of it..."

"Rong is practicing extra every day, but no one knows what he is practicing. The Manchester City club kept this secret very well. Now it seems that maybe he is practicing extra free kicks...and then used it in this game!"

"So, Rong has been practicing free kicks for a long time? Doesn't that mean that Ferguson's foul tactics just helped Rong?"

If you think about it carefully, Ferguson's foul tactics will indeed provide Manchester City with many opportunities for free kicks, and now Rong Guang will kick free kicks again. Isn't that a special fort for Rong Guang to let him fire at will?

Thinking that Manchester United players indirectly assisted Rong Guang's goal, these reporters feel that Manchester United is so pitiful...

Those pro-United journalists were silent.

Because they also thought of this possibility, so what else is there to look forward to in this game?

Isn't Manchester United in danger?
