Chapter 83: One man's battle! (2)
How big of an impact does one person have on the football field?
Throughout the history of football, many celebrities have different opinions on this question, but to sum it up, there are still some clues to follow. In fact, football is nothing more than a sport for 11 people. One person may have a flash of inspiration and score a goal, but if there is no support from teammates, the opponent will easily wipe it out with another goal.
After all, football is a competitive sport that focuses on scores rather than performance. Even Maradona would not have been able to win the World Cup without the support of his Argentine teammates.
However, the spirit a person conveys during a game is sometimes more important than superb skills!
Just like the current match between Manchester United and Wolverhampton, Wang Li moved his teammates with his indomitable and persistent perseverance!
After seeing Wang Li's hard work on the field, Wolverhampton's players regained their confidence!
Yes, we are not as strong as our opponents.
Yes, our coordination is not as good as our opponents.
However, will our perseverance also be defeated by our opponents? Football is not about strength alone, it requires hard work, fighting, and even luck!
Inspired by this spirit, all the players of the Wolverhampton team became high spirits. They tried their best to hinder Manchester United's attack, and sometimes launched fierce counterattacks, which made Manchester United's originally successful attack difficult!
In the 77th minute of the game, C. Ronaldo dribbled the ball quickly on the right, and Newton ran over to grab the ball. C. Ronaldo dribbled the ball, continuously bypassing the ball with his left and right feet, making fake moves, and then directly turned to the left and dribbled past Newton.
However, this time he ran into trouble!
Newton, who was dribbled past by Ronaldo, did not go to the middle to defend. Instead, he desperately chased Ronaldo from behind until he caught up with him on the right side of the penalty area. Then he kept sticking to him without kicking the ball, and went straight to the baseline.
At this time, Ronaldo and Newton were both out of energy, and Ronaldo could only use his body to protect the ball, preparing to wait for someone to pick up the ball and pass it, but what he waited for was Cameron's double-team. Near the corner flag, Cameron and Newton closed the door, and Ronaldo had no choice but to kick the ball out of the field.
Wolverhampton's throw-in was thrown by Newton to Cameron, who knocked the ball back and kicked it towards Newton. In this position, Newton never showed off his skills. He aimed at the rolling ball and kicked it directly to the front court.
…………
Wang Li was in the center circle at this time. He watched Newton pass the ball, immediately stared at the ball and ran towards where the ball landed. The ball flew very fast and landed about 25 meters in front of the right corner of Manchester United's penalty area, about 15 meters away from Wang Li's point.
Wang Li ran towards the ball's landing point, and there was already O'Shea nearby, waiting to catch the ball. Wang Li was very fast, and he started running almost the moment he saw the ball flying over, but how fast was the ball? He still didn't have time to run to the right position, and the ball landed on O'Shea's upright chest two meters in front of him.
But he didn't give up!
Just because O'Shea can receive the ball doesn't mean he can't steal it!
Wang Li took a step forward and headed the ball directly towards O'Shea's chest! This was the position he had predicted. After the ball hit O'Shea's chest, with the strength of a world-class defender, if there was no mistake, the ball would definitely fall to his feet, and Wang Li seized this opportunity!
Sure enough, O'Shea never thought that the black-haired boy who was rushing towards him would grab the ball at this time! The moment Wang Li's forehead touched the ball, he flicked his head to the right, and the ball flew directly to the right, but Wang Li was about to hit O'Shea!
At this time, even the referee Boll had put the whistle in his mouth and was ready to blow the whistle for Wang Li's foul.
However, something surprising happened!
The black-haired boy on the court put his right hand on the ground to support his body, and then used this fulcrum to somersault while brushing against O'Shea's body. His right foot landed first, and his left foot followed and stepped directly on the ball that was still rolling!
Wonderful!
So wonderful!
This action even caused a moment of silence at Old Trafford! The fans stared at the black-haired boy who made an incredible move on the field with wide eyes!
The Manchester United fans and Manchester City fans in the stadium now finally understand why the Wolverhampton fans call this guy the "Dancing Master". His moves are always unexpected, and very gorgeous and beautiful. Even some Manchester United fans couldn't help but shout "good" for this move!
Even Ferguson on the sidelines was stunned. He originally thought that Ronaldo's playing style was fancy enough, but now he knows that it is just a drop in the bucket...
On the other hand, Dave Jones, who had a smug look on his face, didn't seem surprised at all. But if you knew what he was thinking, you would definitely have strong contempt for him...
"As expected of you, you are my disciple. This action is very much like my style when I was young." Besides this, what else could he think of?
"Good!! Perfect!! Maybe this is the first time I use this word when commenting on a football match, but the interception by Wolverhampton youngster Alan Wang just now was indeed perfect!! How can I describe it? This is definitely an interception that will go down in the history of football, not in terms of its significance, but in terms of its magnificence! Yes, magnificence!! Too magnificence!!!" Graham, the commentator of Sky TV, shouted excitedly! Before the game, he was not optimistic about this game, and the company also arranged for him to comment on the Arsenal game, but because of the media publicity, this game attracted the interest of more fans, because in this game, there are more English new stars on both teams!
But now, his view has completely changed. Although the game was indeed as he imagined and Manchester United suppressed Wolverhampton throughout the game, the score did not indicate this situation. Now it is 2:1, and Manchester United only took the lead because of a dive. This is all because the 17-year-old young player from Wolverhampton is so outstanding!
He is indeed an English genius!
But the game on the court would not stop because of the audience's surprise. After grabbing the ball, Wang Li looked at the situation in the frontcourt and immediately dribbled forward.
Because of Manchester United's attack just now, most of the players had not had time to return to defense. There were only four players in the entire backcourt: Ferdinand, O'Shea, Phil Neville and Giggs. O'Shea had been left behind by Wang Li, but Giggs was still on the right. In other words, there were only two defenders, Ferdinand and Phil Neville, standing between Wang Li and the Manchester United goal.
The opportunity has come!
Wang Li was obviously aware of this problem. This was the best offensive opportunity in the entire second half. If he missed this opportunity, it would be extremely difficult to find such an opportunity again!
