Chapter 137: Backward Shot (Fourth update, please vote for me)
Gerrard pushed his foot and sent a through ball. The football moved close to the turf net and ran at a very fast speed towards the space between Smalling and Phil Jones!
"This is Liverpool's counterattack -!!"
Amid the commentator's extended exclamations, Smalling and Phil Jones pounced on the football at the same time, but Gerrard's pass was so sudden and fast that they had no time to react in a timely manner. , the football passed between the two of them.
Jones' reaction speed was a little faster than Smalling's, and he even made a tackle on the ground, hoping to block the football. But the football flew directly in front of his feet and whizzed past him!
"Jones missed it!"
Smalling turned around and saw Chen Yingxiong's back in front of him. He quickly raised his hand and signaled to the referee and the linesman that Chen Yingxiong was offside!
But he didn't hear any whistle from the referee, but there was a burst of boos from the stands. But in these boos, he clearly heard fear!
"The hero is not offside! Not at all! This is a perfect opportunity. Gerrard passes the ball through the Manchester United defense and the hero cleverly cuts in - they have a chance to seal the victory!!"
The atmosphere at the scene became intense. The Manchester United fans in the stands were booing wildly, hoping to disturb Chen Yingxiong. Even if they could make his knees weak, they would be considered successful.
Also in the stands, Liverpool fans also stood up from their seats, waved their fists and shouted as loud as they could: "Come on - heroes! Go for it!!!"
The commentators in the commentary box also roared at the top of their lungs, because if they didn't do this, they wouldn't be able to hear what they said anymore!
What finally reached the ears of the TV viewers was the sudden increase in noise and the crazy explanations of the commentators.
"This is a great opportunity for Liverpool!"
"Hero! Hero...Hero! Hero, hero, hero, hero -"
"Not offside! Not offside! The hero is not offside!"
"The hero received the ball, he rushed forward with the ball, and made a single shot! Beautiful!!"
…
At the same time, Martin O'Neal raised his buttocks, leaned forward, and stared at the court intently.
Not just him, but every Scouser around him made almost the same move.
Next door to them, the old coach Ferguson stopped chewing gum and stared at Chen Yingxiong's back with an extremely serious expression on his face!
On the court, when they saw Chen Yingxiong receiving the ball, the two Liverpool wingers who were still desperately pushing forward, Gareth Bale and Sanchez, stopped. They knew that at this time, they had no chance. It's over, they just need to watch from behind.
Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Yingxiong.

David De Gea's eyes were also fixed on Chen Yingxiong at this moment. He had abandoned the goal and rushed towards Chen Yingxiong very quickly.
Chen Yingxiong has also put the football into the penalty area.
Two people are approaching quickly!
Generally speaking, the closer a single-handed ball is to the goalkeeper, the more difficult it is to shoot and the lower the goal rate. Because when the two sides are too close, the goalkeeper can block most angles.
So De Gea desperately increased his speed and rushed towards Chen Yingxiong. Only when the distance between him and Chen Yingxiong was close enough, the huge empty goal behind him would be safe.
However, Chen Yingxiong was not in a hurry to shoot. He even slowed down, as if waiting for De Gea.
He wants to pass the goalkeeper!
De Gea rushed over, and Chen Yingxiong raised his right foot to shoot.
Under normal circumstances, the goalkeeper will immediately pounce on the football, and then be easily dunked by the forward, facing the empty goal and knocking the football into the goal.
But De Gea did not pounce on the football. He just quickly lowered his center of gravity, opened his hands to both sides, opened his body, and expanded the defensive range as much as possible. This is the most secure way to defend and will not be faked by the opponent's shot. Cheated.
And when the opponent's forward finds that his fake action has no effect, he will suddenly panic. With such a mentality, it is often difficult for them to make any high-quality moves. Many forwards will choose to take a hasty kick and pin their hopes on luck.
But the result of this is often that the football is saved bravely by the goalkeeper.
So in fact, the one-on-one competition is not about technology, but psychology. Whoever is more calm will win!
De Gea calmed down and was not fooled by Chen Yingxiong's fake moves. He felt that he had already won more than half of the victory.
And the guy opposite seemed a little panicked... He must not have thought that he didn't eat his fake move!
Seeing that his fake move failed, Chen Yingxiong quickly made the next move - he pulled the football back.
He pulled the football from De Gea to his own, but in order to avoid De Gea, his center of gravity leaned back so much that his whole body was almost parallel to the ground.
Under such an action, it was good for him to maintain his balance. There was no need to expect any other follow-up actions. It seemed that he had missed the ball!
This is why De Gea felt that Chen Yingxiong was panicked.
But then something incredible happened to De Gea!
Chen Yingxiong suddenly raised his right foot again while his body was leaning back sharply, and then he shot a very fast... lob!
His right foot inserted between the football and the ground like a shovel, scooping up the football. Then he lifted his knees, lifted his toes, and picked out the football on his feet!
The football just flew over De Gea's head!
De Gea's hands were spread out at his sides at this time, making it impossible to swing them up to stop the football. At the same time, his center of gravity was very low - this was originally to prevent Chen Yingxiong from hitting the ball through the crotch, but now it is also became his shortcoming.
Because his center of gravity was too low, he couldn't even use the action of straightening his waist and raising his head to make a desperate struggle. Not to mention that because he lowered his center of gravity, Chen Yingxiong's kick didn't need to be too high to pass him. The top of my head...
※ ※ ※
"Cumshot?!"
After seeing Chen Yingxiong's shooting action, many commentators were surprised and confused. It’s like I can’t believe my eyes!
At such a close distance from the goalkeeper, and when he had completely lost his balance, Chen Yingxiong actually took a difficult shot!
Although everyone thinks that the lob shot is the only way to shoot past goalkeeper De Gea and possibly fall into the goal, there is also a greater chance that either it will not be lobbed, and it will be directly used by De Gea with his face or body. Block it, or just pick it too high and end up higher than the goal...
Chen Yingxiong... really dares to think and do it!
※ ※ ※
After Chen Yingxiong saw the football pass over De Gea's head, his body lost all center of gravity. He fell directly to the turf, but his eyes were still following the football.
He saw the football pass over De Gea's head and continue to fly upwards. Then he could no longer see the football while lying on the ground. He knew that was because the football started to fall.
Chen Yingxiong, who was lying on the ground, raised his arms in advance, clenched them into fists, and maintained this posture.
De Gea turned his head and watched the football fall behind him and go straight to the goal. His heart went cold... At this time, no one could help him fish the football out. His body was frozen in place due to inertia, and he could not move.
The only thing he could do was to pay attention to Chen Yingxiong, who was very imaginative, and at the same time very entertaining, and very difficult to shoot!
The noise became louder, and it increased suddenly. Chen Yingxiong, who was lying on the ground, knew that the ball had been scored!
He didn't get up, but just lay on the ground, looking at the blue sky in the afternoon, with his fists still raised high.
Soon he saw Sanchez's face twisted with joy, followed closely by Bell.
Two black shadows fell from the sky and overwhelmed him...
Liverpool's players were at Old Trafford, in front of Manchester United's goal, celebrating the goal that sealed the victory by stacking up on top of each other!
※ ※ ※
"The ball went in! The ball went in! Beautiful!! So beautiful!"
"An unexpected way to score! The hero shot a very wonderful arc even though he lost his center of gravity!"
"De Gea could not have imagined that the hero could use such a method to bypass his defense... Just like I said when the hero was still playing in Naples, he is a player full of imagination and inspiration! Don't look at it He’s big, but he often scores goals that surprise everyone!”
"Beautiful goal! It's the perfect ending to this peak showdown! If we die under such a goal, I think Manchester United can rest in peace!"
"The game is over! The suspense is over! Liverpool has won early! Although there are still a few minutes left in the game, it is impossible for Manchester United to save the defeat! They are at their home court at Old Trafford for the second time in a row. , lost to the arch-enemy Liverpool!”
"This is really the darkest moment in the history of Ferguson's Manchester United... They were defeated by Liverpool in one season and lost two consecutive home games... Look at the eyes of those Manchester United fans who put their heads in their hands. Full of confusion and disappointment..."
The commentary box was caught up in the excitement and madness after the goal. This ball is too beautiful and too important for them not to be so crazy.
※ ※ ※
After witnessing such an important goal, many people could not suppress their inner excitement.
Manchester United fans in the stands held their heads in their hands, while Liverpool fans waved their fists vigorously. There were so many voices in the stands that it was impossible to tell which ones were cheers and which ones were boos.
O'Neill and other Liverpool coaches jumped up from their seats, as if they had springs on their butts, rushed out of the coaching bench, rushed to the sidelines, or shouted to the sky, or cheered, or hugged each other tightly. So excited.
The veteran coach Ferguson on the sidelines started chewing gum again.
