Chapter 995 Rooney Scores a Goal
When Rooney saw Gao Xiaodong waving, he immediately passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong without considering whether it was offside or not.
Although Gao Xiaodong's position was on the baseline, Lampard and Terry bumped into each other and were both on the baseline. Unless they got out, Gao Xiaodong would never be offside.
Center back Terry fell down, there was no obstacle in front of him, Lampard who was marking him also fell down, there was no pursuer behind him, Mikel hadn't arrived yet, the situation was great, Gao Xiaodong quickly took the ball and cut towards the penalty area.
Originally, Manchester United was playing a farce that delayed time, but suddenly it turned into a shocking blockbuster. Chelsea fans couldn't adapt. Many people couldn't help but exclaimed, "Not good!" "Danger!" "Stop Gao!"
Someone must stop Gao Xiaodong. It is useless to rely on goalkeeper Cech to block the near corner. Another central defender Ivanovic came over when Gao Xiaodong approached the penalty area, and midfielder Mikel also Ignoring Rooney, he quickly approached Gao Xiaodong, flanked Gao Xiaodong with Ivanovic, and blocked Gao Xiaodong's return line.
Gao Xiaodong planned to pass the ball to Rooney when Mikel came over, but Mikel paid attention to blocking Gao Xiaodong's passing line. If Gao Xiaodong wanted to pass the ball to Rooney, Mikel was in the middle. A little further away, and fearing being intercepted by his opponent, Gao Xiaodong continued to move forward, trying to get out of the passing angle.
With just two extra steps, goalkeeper Cech, Ivanovic and Mikel immediately formed a triangle to surround Gao Xiaodong in the middle. It seemed that Gao Xiaodong had neither an angle shot nor a line pass.
"It's a bit too much, so forcing a shot is the best option. Maybe we can get a corner kick."
Liverpool star and commentator Souness put himself into the role of Gao Xiaodong.
Andy Gray said: "Indeed, just pass it to Rooney as soon as possible."
Gao Xiaodong has always been very reasonable in playing football. His choice made Ferguson frown. Although Ferguson's goal is not to score another goal now, it is not bad to defend the score of 1:0, but with such an opportunity , anyone will have the ambition to expand the score.
There was no road ahead, so Gao Xiaodong decisively stopped and turned around, dribbling the ball back to the original path.
This move surprised everyone. It was obvious that he could try a shot and score from a small angle, but Gao Xiaodong actually gave up and seemed to want to take him back to the corner flag area to continue to waste time.
Seeing Gao Xiaodong turn around and lead back, Ivanovic and Mikel breathed a sigh of relief. They did not dare to rush over to steal. In the penalty area, if they made the wrong move, they might be awarded a penalty kick. The two wanted to close the gap. Go over and force Gao Xiaodong out of the penalty area.
Gao Xiaodong didn't turn around just to lead back. He has super glasses and his sight is much wider than that of a normal person. He turned back just to distract Mikel and create a passing line.
Sure enough, Gao Xiaodong took a step forward, and both Ivanovic and Mikel came over, trying to drive him out of the penalty area.
The moment Mikel stepped out of the angle, Gao Xiaodong swayed his upper body and made a fake move. Then he knocked his heel and passed the ball to Rooney inside the penalty area.
Rooney kept running, adjusting the position between himself and Gao Xiaodong, hoping to get Gao Xiaodong's pass, but he did not expect that Gao Xiaodong suddenly stopped and turned around and took the ball away. Rooney was stunned and stood there silently. I wonder what Gao Xiaodong wants to do.
Before Rooney could even think about it, Gao Xiaodong passed the ball over.
I wipe it!
Rooney couldn't help shouting. He was not mentally prepared. He had no time to shoot the ball directly and could only stop the ball for a moment.
However, the defensive players also did not expect that Gao Xiaodong would pass the ball at this time or pass like this.
Rooney was behind Gao Xiaodong. According to common sense, Gao Xiaodong couldn't see Rooney at all. Moreover, there are many people and legs at the front of the penalty area. If you pass the ball without watching people, it is easy to make the wrong pass, and even if it is a little off, it will be intercepted.
Therefore, when Rooney stopped the ball, no one could come and block it immediately.
The scene was filled with exclamations again and again. This time it was not only Blues fans, but also Manchester United fans.
Commentator Andy Gray shouted: "There is still such an operation! This is God's vision, why did Gao think Rooney didn't move?"
Souness marveled: "This is genius! No wonder he won the Golden Globe at such a young age."
The penalty area was empty, and Rooney had a great opportunity to shoot. He saw goalkeeper Cech moving quickly from the near post to the goal. He was afraid that he would lob the ball into the far corner. Rooney immediately rubbed the arch of his foot and made a reverse move. direction, rub the ball towards the upper left corner of the goal.
Cech was moving, and it was impossible to stop and save. Ivanovic jumped up hard and tried to push the ball out of the baseline, but he was still a little short.
A shot from this distance would be a sure shot against a player of Rooney's level. Novanovic could not reach it and could only watch the ball fly into the net against the crossbar.
2:0
Rooney scored his first goal at Stamford Bridge.
After scoring the goal, Rooney was extremely excited. He took off his jersey, ran to the stands of Chelsea fans like crazy, shook his fist and roared at the fans.
The Blues fans were angry enough when they lost the ball. When they saw Rooney coming to the stands to provoke him, they jumped up in unison, booed Rooney desperately, yelled at Rooney, and some threw coins, lighters, and drinks bottles at him. Rooney.
The Blues players were also very angry. Terry immediately rushed to Rooney and pushed him hard, "Asshole! What do you want to do!"
This Scholes also ran over, and he quickly stood between Rooney and Terry to prevent the two from clashing. Now Manchester United leads 2:0, and promotion is almost guaranteed, but there can be no accidents due to conflicts.
Then players from both sides gathered around. Chelsea's players wanted to beat Rooney aggressively, while Gao Xiaodong, Giggs and other Manchester United players also rushed over to protect Rooney and prevent him from suffering a loss.
Referee Malenko took out the yellow card when Rooney took off his jersey and ran towards the Blues fans' stands, but he was still a step slower than Terry. If Scholes and Giggs hadn't been the peacemakers, Players from both sides are likely to clash.
Referee Malenko came over and gave Rooney a yellow card first, and then gave Terry another, finally suppressing the conflict.
But Chelsea fans still didn't want to let Rooney go. When Manchester United celebrated the goal, they booed and threw debris, so that the Manchester United players did not dare to walk to the sidelines.
Ferguson cursed Rooney "bastard" on the sidelines, but he couldn't hide the joy on his face. As soon as this goal was scored, Manchester United's promotion was basically guaranteed. They reached the finals three times in a row in three years. This is definitely something to be proud of. things.
Ancelotti looked ugly and kept shaking his head. He understood that the situation was over and unless a miracle happened, Chelsea would have no chance of recovery.
