Chapter 774 The First Championship of the Season

Chapter 786 The First Championship of the Season

After returning to the locker room, Gao Bo did not criticize the team's performance in the first half, and of course, he did not praise his players.

He just asked the players to continue to strengthen their offense while paying attention to Manchester United's offense in the second half, and overwhelm their opponents with a powerful offense!

The winning team in this game will undoubtedly build a strong self-confidence, which is very beneficial to the team's league start!

And at United, Guardiola was pumping up the morale of his players.

He kept telling Manchester United's players that their ability is the best in the world. They don't have to be inferior to Manchester City, and they are even better than Manchester City's players. They can have an advantage on the offensive end. It is not a wrong choice to play against Manchester City.
At that time, as long as Manchester United can score the second goal, they will be able to go all out and beat Manchester City completely!

The Manchester United players were also very excited under the encouragement of Guardiola. Their offense in the first half did repeatedly threaten Manchester City's goal. They did not fall into a disadvantage in the battle against Manchester City!

After halftime, neither team saw much change.

The second half is basically the rhythm of the first half!
The tense battle is still going on!
Game No. 408 minutes, Casemiro raised his foot too high when defending at the front of the penalty area. The referee gave him a foul and gave Manchester United a free kick at the front of the penalty area!
Modric and Pedro stand in front of the ball, both of them have the ability to take free kicks, but the way they take it is completely different.

When the referee blew his whistle, Pedro ran towards the football first. He made a gesture to hit the goal vigorously, but when he was about to reach the football, he suddenly ran to the other side!
Then Modric followed and shot with a right-footed curve ball! !
The football bypassed the Manchester City team's human wall and went straight to the Manchester City team's goal!

Oblak's attention was quite concentrated. He picked the ball in the air, stretched his body, and pushed the ball out of the baseline with his fingertips! !

"Oblak!!! He is very focused and explosive! With a wingspan of more than two meters, he has a very large range of control, allowing him to save the ball from the bottom line!! This is a very beautiful save!!"

After Manchester United made a threat, Manchester City also quickly completed a very threatening offensive.

In 1 minute of the game, Griezmann took the ball in the frontcourt and tried to break through!

As a result, Thiago was brought down to the ground!
The referee gave Manchester City a free kick on the right side of the front field!

Sanchez pretended to come to kick the ball, but when he ran to the ball, he stomped the ball back!
Then David Silva passed the ball into the middle of the box!

When Manchester United centre-back Otamendi and Kompany competed for the top, the ball went over the baseline.

However, the referee signaled Manchester United to take the goal kick.

The Manchester City players protested, but they soon let go of the matter.

In the nick of time, it is very difficult to make an accurate penalty. This kind of thing is too normal on the football field.Even Manchester City fans didn't pay much attention to this matter.

And when Manchester United's goal kick was taken, Manchester United quickly advanced to the frontcourt!

Modric takes the ball at the front of the penalty area, goes straight, then suddenly cuts in and volleys with his left foot!

The football hit Umtiti's feet and refracted!
With a violent rotation, the football circled Oblak's ten fingertips and flew into the goal behind him!
While Manchester United fans are cheering, City fans are quitting.

They remembered the previous penalty and thought that the referee's mistake caused their team to concede the goal.

The Manchester City players on the field did not struggle with this problem, they were a little helpless.

The opponent's shot was refracted and scored the goal.

Such a goal has a bit of luck, and they can't do anything about it.

On the sidelines, Guardiola raised his arms in celebration, while Gao Bo stood on the sidelines. He pressed his hands down, signaling to the Manchester City players not to worry, there is still time in the game, and then he asked the players to continue to attack and not be afraid of the confrontation with the opponent.

In fact, Manchester City, which is one goal behind, must also attack.

Game No.606 minutes, Sanchez made a cross from the left!
De Gea hit the ball out!But football is still controlled at the feet of Manchester City.

Griezmann made a pass from outside the penalty area, and Hummels interfered with Hazard's shot, and the football hit the side netting.

In the 608th minute of the game, Manchester United's frontcourt free kick passed into the penalty area, causing a scuffle!
In the melee, Pea Hernandez took a shot and the football flew towards the goal!
Oblak made another wonderful save!

If it weren't for Oblak's wonderful performance, I'm afraid Manchester City would have lost the third goal!

However, Manchester City's offense quickly reached the danger zone of Manchester United!

David Silva made a half-high pass from the front of the penalty area, trying to bypass the defense to find Hazard.

As a result, the football hit Otamendi's hands!

The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick!

Griezmann easily scored the penalty kick and turned the score into two to two! !

This goal plunged the game into a more intense confrontation!

Since there is no overtime in the Community Shield game, the game was tied after 10 and [-] minutes, and the two sides directly decided to win with a penalty kick!
So in the next game, the two teams almost tried their best to attack.

And the two goalkeepers became the most dazzling protagonists in the next 20 minutes of the game!

Both De Gea and Oblak made wonderful saves one after another!
But by the end of the 10 minute game, the score was still [-]-[-].

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the fans began to look forward to the exciting penalty shootout.

"Penalty shootout!!! The two sides have entered a penalty shootout!!"

The commentators are also very excited!
The penalty shootout is almost the most exciting part of a football game.

No one can predict the outcome of the penalty shootout, unless it is the England team to kick the penalty.

The first to play is Sanchez!

Gao Bo chose to let Sanchez come on first to take the penalty kick.

Sanchez was very calm against De Gea. He pushed a bottom right corner and scored the ball.

And Manchester United's first up is Little Pea Hernandez.

Hernandez's penalty was also very stable. He volleyed directly to the upper right corner of the goal, and Oblak had nothing to do.

In the next three rounds, players from both sides scored penalty kicks.

The score of the penalty shootout became four to four!
Fifth round penalty shootout!
David Silva played for Manchester City.

David Silva's performance is very stable, which is why Gao Bo let him take a final penalty kick.

Sure enough, he lived up to the expectations of Gao Bo and Manchester City fans, and steadily scored a penalty kick.

Next, the pressure is all on Manchester United's side!
Guardiola's favorite Thiago stood on the penalty spot. He was the fifth Manchester United player to take a penalty kick.

Oblak stood in front of the goal line, he didn't make any movements, his eyelids were drooping, and he looked very relaxed!
Thiago starts the run-up!
"Shoot!!!"

left! ! !

Oblak rushed out! !
Thiago's shooting angle is still tricky, but the power is not great!

Oblak swung his palm and saved the ball over the baseline!
"Oblak!!!!"

Amid the roar of the commentator and the cheers of the Manchester City fans at the scene, Oblak raised his arms high.

Manchester City's players rushed into the penalty area.

"Congratulations to Manchester City, they won the penalty shootout and won the Community Shield!"
