Jagged Wings

Chapter 40 Champion
After leaving the field, Carroll was a little disappointed. He knew that the team was behind, so he trotted off the field.When passing by Ferguson, Carol lowered his head and looked at him carefully. Ferguson folded his arms and didn't even look at him.

Carol went to the bench silently and sat down as if mourning her concubine.

Including stoppage time, there are less than 20 minutes left. Manchester United, who conceded a goal, must score a goal in the next 20 minutes.

Manchester United's offensive was very fierce, and their two full-backs completely overwhelmed the half-court, and they had an overall advantage on the scene.Arsenal's frontcourt duo Van Persie and Xiaofa are still too young, Reyes is restricted to the wing, and Arsenal's midfielder is completely suppressed.

In the 80th minute, Manchester United played cleverly. Vieira missed the defense. Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy joined forces to hit the wall. Ruud van Nistelrooy received a clever pass from Rooney and appeared on the edge of the penalty area. Lai Man suddenly tensed up.

Van Nistelrooy has a very resounding nickname called "the king of the small penalty area," because Van Nistelrooy's goals basically all appear in the penalty area. His sense of smell is very sensitive, and he can always appear at the most suitable time. place, and then make the most appropriate action, his scoring efficiency is also frighteningly high.

Now that the king of the small penalty area has also arrived in the small penalty area, how can Lehman not be frightened?

"Rooney and Van Nistelrooy's wonderful cooperation! Van Nistelrooy has received the ball, this is his favorite position, what will he do?" Manchester United's commentator also became excited.

Van Nistelrooy was very calm. He noticed that Lehmann had sealed all the gaps in the near corner, but he could never take care of the far corner.

Well, let's go to the far corner!

Ruud van Nistelrooy pulled the ball left with his right foot, dodged a sliding tackle from Toure, and followed up with a left-footed shot.This kick was not powerful, but it drew an arc, and Van Nistelrooy pursued an angle.

The football flew towards the goal, but it hit the crossbar and flew to the feet of Lauren on the right.

Van Nistelrooy looked in the direction of the goal in disbelief, not believing that he could not score such a goal.

The whole Manchester United team was also a little surprised. Ferguson had already stood up, ready to cheer for the goal, but Ruud van Nistelrooy's kick disappointed everyone.

He missed a goal that should never have been missed.

"Counterattack!" Just as the Manchester United team was still upset, Reyes had already waved to Lauren from outside the penalty area. He didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the "contemplation" of the Manchester United team.

Lauren understood, and after getting the ball, he made a long pass to find Xiaofa who was waiting in front of the penalty area, and Reyes had already advanced at high speed.Without any hesitation, Fabio passed the ball to Reyes.At this time, there were only two central defenders Sylvester and Ferdinand of Manchester United left in front of Reyes, and Van Persie had already dragged Sylvester to the side.

"Pay attention behind!" Xiaofa shouted loudly behind Reyes, but was drowned in the cheers and boos of the audience.

While the rest of Manchester United were in a daze, Rooney was the first to react. He passed the ball from Xiaofa, turned around and ran back.

"You guys must not be allowed to score this ball!" Rooney had only one thought in his mind.

Of course he knew he couldn't match Reyes' speed, but that wasn't a reason to give up defense.Regardless of whether he can catch up or not, he has to return to defense.

In this way, Reyes ran with the ball in front alone, and Rooney became the first player of Manchester United to return to the defense. He gritted his teeth and desperately chased the back of the front who was running at full speed.

Reyes faced Ferdinand again. In one-on-one, defensive players are absolutely vulnerable, even if you are a world-class central defender.

Facing Ferdinand who was in a good posture, Reyes just touched the ball lightly with the outside of his instep during running, exerted force with his left foot, changed direction slightly, and rushed past him.And when Ferdinand turned around, Rooney also overtook him.

In this way, a very impactful scene was formed on the court, with all players on both sides standing in the Arsenal penalty area.In the other half, Reyes ran like the wind with the ball alone, and Rooney and Ferdinand were two meters behind.

The speed of Reyes, who passed Ferdinand, was affected a little, which gave Rooney a chance.Just when Reyes accelerated again, Rooney put one hand on Reyes' shoulder, and then half of his body leaned forward.Rooney is a little taller and heavier than Reyes. Just when he thought he was going to succeed, Reyes accelerated and threw away Rooney's hand and Rooney's body.

"And me!" Ferdinand took this opportunity to post, he had already grabbed Reyes' clothes, intending to force him to slow down.

"Don't even think about it!" Reyes, who was running, had no time to speak, and replied in his heart.

Howard stood in front of the goal, hesitating whether to attack or not.If you attack, it is easy to be knocked down by the opponent; if you don't attack, the defensive area is too small.

To strike or not to strike?

Howard burst into tears: I finally understand what Carol is struggling with!

Now he's confused too.

Forget it, Carroll's two strikes gave them two chances, so I'm not going to strike.Howard made up his mind.

Reyes, Ferdinand and Rooney entangled to a place ten meters away from the goal. Rooney and Ferdinand took turns to harass, but Reyes still barely controlled the ball.Every time the two wanted to take the ball away, but every time the winner was Reyes.

"It's now!" Reyes suddenly stopped while running, and Ferdinand ran over with his jersey, almost bringing him down.Rooney also stopped in time, trying to hook the ball from behind Reyes.

But Reyes just flicked the ball to the right, and with another jump, it cleared Rooney's legs.Just when the circle of the two closed again, Reyes shot!
Howard, who was standing in the center of the goal, woke up like a dream and wanted to jump up, but saw that Reyes had already made a shooting action, so he quickly launched a body save.

Howard, who is 192cm tall, tried his best to open his arms to touch the ball, but he was too close to the goal to seal all the angles. The football flew over his hand, then fell and rubbed against the lower edge of the crossbar and flew into the Manchester United gate!

Reyes scored twice!

Landing Reyes spread his arms and ran towards the corner flag, then swooped down and glides like a bomber.

"goooooooooaL!!! goooooooooaL——!!! Ray—— Yes!! He is simply a hummer, smashing Manchester United's defense to pieces! This time, he defeated Manchester United's entire defense again. !A wonderful single-player! Rooney worked hard, he chased from one penalty area to another, but in the end he still couldn't stop the goal!"

With 10 minutes left in stoppage time, Manchester United replaced Scholes with Saha. They pushed forward across the board and launched wave after wave of offensives, while Arsenal retreated across the board.

Reyes pushed to the full-back position, Cole moved in to play at center back, and Arsenal played a back five.

Xiaofa returned to the position of the midfielder, and Arsenal had three midfielders in front of the back line. Even if Giggs and Rooney attacked in an uprising, they could not find a suitable passing route.

Van Persie returned to the 30-meter zone to take charge of the defense.

Arsenal united as one at the last moment, blocking Manchester United's indiscriminate bombing that lasted 4 minutes.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Vieira gave his feet and sat on top of him.He reasoned that those who slumped on him after the game were all losers. Vieira was tired this time. He fought until the last moment of this game, which can be said to have exhausted all his strength.

At the age of 29, he reached the peak of consciousness and technology, but his body began to decline. Several breakthroughs by Giggs made him terrified.

In those 10 minutes, he even worried that his team would not be able to defend and be equalized by the opponent.

Fortunately, this scene did not happen.

He was so weak that he sat on him while the teammates around him jumped to their feet.

"we won!!"

"The game is over! Arsenal won the game and they completed their second victory against Manchester United this season under extremely unfavorable circumstances!"

"Oh! Arsenal beat Manchester United! What a surprise..."

"I bet, before the game, people at Manchester United must have thought that they could beat Arsenal and win the club's 12th FA Cup. But look at their confused looks now..."

"Arsenal beat Manchester United 3:1. Van Nistelrooy's sluggish performance made Manchester United miss a lot of opportunities. He is the main culprit in this game!"

"The TV camera is on Reyes. There is no doubt that he is the best player in this game!" Arsenal's commentator also joked: "After the last game against Bayern Munich, Reyes is the best player in the game. The queen was picked up by Bergkamp. This time he is on the court, so he doesn’t need to bother Dennis.” The commentator said.

"I think Dennis must be very disappointed!"
