Chapter 012 A Confrontation of Evenly Matched Forces

Wang Li received a pass from Tim Silko on the right, and with a light kick of his right leg, the ball landed safely at his feet. Chadwick rushed forward to grab the ball, he turned around to protect it, cut the ball to the left with his right foot, and then with a gorgeous turn, Chadwick was left behind.

The "Snow Ferret" of Manchester United was really unlucky today. He had been fooled many times and anger had filled his head. He made a fierce flying tackle at the black-haired boy who had already passed over his body. Unfortunately, Wang Li's speed was beyond his imagination and he had already left him far behind.

Chadwick's monkey-like actions drew laughter from the audience. Although he missed the tackle, the referee still came over and gave him a verbal warning that his actions were too barbaric.

After shaking off Chadwick, Wang Li dribbled the ball forward without hesitation.

Fortune rushed forward to block the attack. Wang Li stepped on the ball and suddenly pulled the ball to the outside of his body. While Fortune was stunned, he accelerated and passed by the Manchester United defender.

After passing Fortune, Wang Li had a lot of space in front of him. He aimed at the penalty area, kicked the ball with his right foot and made a lob pass. The tall Pete in the penalty area got a good chance to pass the ball, but when the ball bounced to him, it was near his waist.

He suddenly had an idea and landed with his back to the ground and did a hook kick. The move was indeed very cool, but the accuracy was really not that good...

"It was Pete, shoot! It's a pity that it went off the target... It seems that the young men in the youth team played very well today. Pete's shot just now was full of imagination. He is worthy of being Wolverhampton's number one striker. But maybe after today, his title of the youth team's first star player will be taken away, because there is a black-haired boy who performed so well. Friends, he is our...?"

"Allen, Allen!!!!" There was a cheer from the fans in the audience.

Wang Li waved his arms with some regret, and looked at the Manchester United goal unwillingly. The Manchester United goalkeeper was roaring in the direction of Chadwick and Jones. Obviously, he was dissatisfied with the two being easily broken through by Wang Li every time and threatening the goal again and again!

…

Northern Ireland's rising star Healy stood in front of the ball, ready to take the free kick himself.

Wolverhampton's attack just now was too forward, and Pierre Cooper had to commit a foul to stop Hilly's breakthrough and protect the last line of defense, for which he received a yellow card.

The location of this free kick is about 35 meters away from the goal, very close to the penalty area. The position is very good, which is exactly the free kick position that Hilly is best at.

Wolverhampton goalkeeper Tom Smith stared nervously in front of the goal, walking back and forth, directing his teammates to form a human wall. This position was really threatening, and it was exactly the position that Hilly was best at, and no one knew whether he would choose other ways to threaten the goal he was guarding.

Following the referee's whistle, Hilly jumped twice on the spot, ran up more than one meter and shot directly.

The ball drew an arc in the air and fell towards the far corner of the goal. Although Tom tried his best to intercept it, the ball was too fast and the angle was too tricky, so the ball eventually fell into the net.

"Healy ran and shot directly... the ball went in. What a pity, our Wolverhampton was overtaken. There was nothing we could do about this ball. The Northern Ireland rising star is indeed worthy of his reputation. This shot was so beautiful. Now the score on the field is 1:2!"

…

After Lawrence Baker intercepted the ball, she looked left and right, then passed it to her teammate who came forward to receive the ball. He passed Fletcher who came forward to block her, and the ball was knocked back to him.

This is a simple two-pass one cooperation. Wang Li was watching this kind of one-touch ball play from a distance, and he was really touched. Although he could also play this simple cooperation, he was not doing it very well at the moment. If there were more people competing for it and the situation was more complicated, he would be a little panicked.

Lawrence Baker took two steps, knocked the ball to Tim Silko in the middle, and turned and ran forward.

Tim Silko looked to the right alertly, then opened up a gap and passed the ball to Wang Li on the right. Now in the hearts of these Wolverhampton players, Alan is obviously the most trustworthy person on the court. Although he almost never cooperates, his sharp passing method and beautiful long passes can always pose a great threat to Manchester United's goal.

Seeing that the black-haired boy got the ball, in order to prevent him from passing the ball into the penalty area again, Manchester United immediately sent two people to double-team him. They had already seen Wang Li's weakness. When he got the ball, he would just dribble by himself and would not cooperate with his teammates at all.

It was the same this time. After Wang Li got the ball, he looked at the situation around him, kicked his heel, and the ball was picked up from behind his body, passed over the heads of the Manchester United players, and flew straight forward. Wang Li quickly dodged and rushed through the double-team.

Although they also wanted to close the door on the black-haired boy, his body was too "slippery". There was only a narrow gap between the two of them, and it was unclear how he slipped through.

They could never have imagined that Wang Li had just used a step from the "Lingbo Weibu". If you watch the slow motion, you will find that Wang Li's steps were very chaotic, but he just happened to let his body sideways pass through the double team...

"It's Alan again. Two Manchester United players came up to block him. Oh, he picked up the ball, rushed over, easily shook it off, and made a long pass. What a chance! Unfortunately, the ball was caught by the Manchester United goalkeeper... Seeing Alan is like seeing another Beckham. His long passes are so accurate. I will be his fan in the future. I don't know how many English girls will be moved by his playing style."

…

"Eagles dribbled the ball, dodged Tim, and passed it to Richardson. He broke through on the left and passed it to the penalty area. Dangerous! Phew... Fortunately, Tom cleared the ball in time..."

"Laurice Baker broke through, dodged Chadwick, continued forward, passed the ball back to Harrison, passed it to Pete, long shot! Oh, it was too straight, this corner kick was taken too hastily, the ball was easily caught by the Manchester United goalkeeper."

"Cullens fouled again, it was a free kick, God bless Wolverhampton, Eagles took the penalty... He shot directly at the goal, but it went wide. It seems that God heard my prayer just now..."

"Again, Allen made a gorgeous turn and easily passed Naltiero. Phil Neville stepped forward to block him. He protected the ball with his body and quickly broke through from the left and made a long pass into the penalty area. Opportunity! Harrison! Alas, it missed the target..."

In the remaining ten minutes of the first half, the game was very exciting, the two teams were almost evenly matched, and the fans in the stands enjoyed the game very much, feeling that they had worth the price of the ticket.

As the referee blew the whistle, the halftime break began...
