I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

The game continues.

Manchester United's right back Hargreaves threw a powerful throw-in and gave the ball directly to Nani, who was also advancing on the right wing.

As soon as Nani got the ball, Mikel rushed forward aggressively and made a sliding tackle.

Nani used his speed and agility to avoid Mikel's sliding tackle. He first ensured that he would not be injured, and then used the opportunity to lie down on the turf... and dived!

This time, Nani dived earlier than before!

The referee punished Mikel for a foul, but did not take out the card. Instead, he only gave Manchester United a free kick 30 meters away from the goal.

Southampton fans booed wildly!

This penalty is obviously unconvincing!

Gu Ran, Davis and others gathered around the head coach to complain and put pressure on the referee.

In this case, if no star-level players come forward to put pressure on the referee, the referee will be more unbridled and biased. Therefore, applying appropriate pressure will at least make the referee change the penalty even if it cannot make him change the penalty. The referee knows that Southampton is not easy to bully. Next time a similar situation occurs, the referee must be cautious.

Of course, you have to be very cautious when putting pressure on the referee. If you encounter a dumb referee like Ma Ning, you may end up getting a few more cards.

Under pressure from Gu Ran and Davis, the referee still insisted on his decision, but his expression was not so decisive.

Davis returned to the penalty area to set up a wall.

Southampton's tall players all stood in the wall.

Manchester United's offensive players were all ready, but the handsome Berbatov stood in the distance of the penalty area with an elegant face, as if he was a watching fan.

It was Rooney who took the free kick.

To be honest, Rooney's free kick skills are not very good, not as good as Scholes and Giggs.

However, Scholes has retired, and Giggs is good at left-footed curve balls. In contrast, Rooney's free kick does not have a very obvious curve, but is extremely powerful.

Rooney was chosen to take the free kick, firstly because Rooney is a shooter himself, and the shooter has a stronger desire to score goals, and secondly because Rooney is still in his prime, while Giggs is no longer likely to rise.

In the last FA Cup, Rooney scored Southampton with a free kick.

Now, less than 4 minutes into the game, Rooney strikes again!

The football shot up from the ground like a supercharged cannonball, quickly jumped over the high-jumping human wall, and blasted directly into the upper left corner of the goal!

Davis judged the position correctly, and Rooney almost took a step and dived to save!

The ball speed is too fast!

There is nothing Davis can do!

Boom!

With huge power, the football hit the top edge of the goal frame hard, and then bounced back into the penalty area!

The goal didn't go in!

But the ball isn't dead yet!

There was chaos in Southampton's penalty area! There were more than a dozen players from both sides, but no one grabbed the first landing point of the rebound ball.

Berbatov didn't know when, but he appeared like a ghost near the second landing point!

Rudiger, who was nearest, raised his legs and ran forward to fight for it!

Berbatov's elegant running and Rudiger's exaggerated running are in the same camera frame!

And obviously, Rudiger's defensive firepower is still a little weak!

Berbatov touched the ball first and then stabbed Rudiger's legs lightly.

Rudiger quickly clamped his legs, but it was too late!

Berbatov wore Rudiger's crotch and at the same time floated past Rudiger with ease!

Rudiger looked ahead and behind, neither blocking the ball nor Berbatov!

The next moment, Berbatov is about to take a shot! All the Southampton fans at the scene suffocated and held their heads, afraid to watch the next scene.

And at this critical moment, two Southampton players slid in front of Berbatov at the same time!

Gu Ran! Van Dyke!

Coupled with Rudiger, who had just been "single-killed" by Berbatov, this is simply the football version of the Three Heroes fighting the Vampire Duke!

Gu Ran and Van Dijk's sliding tackles were fast and accurate, completely blocking all opportunities for Berbatov to touch the ball and shoot!

Berbatov originally had an elegant look on his face, and even prepared a arrogant and indifferent attitude after scoring a goal - because even if the goal was scored, Berbatov felt that the goal was not exciting enough and not worthy of celebration. To celebrate with action, just stay as proud as a vampire.

However, he never expected that after he passed through Rudiger, a young rookie, Southampton would have two more powerful gates.

Facing the fast and accurate double-side sliding tackle, Berbatov had no choice but to slow down.

If he doesn't slow down, he will inevitably trip and fail to get the ball.

Things that can easily lead to injury, actions that can easily lead to confrontation, the elegant vampire Grand Duke will not do unless he has to do it.

Gu Ran's sliding tackle prevented Berbatov from touching the ball, while Van Dijk's sliding tackle took the opportunity to shovel the ball out of the baseline.

Although this can be regarded as giving Manchester United a corner kick, there is still a half chance that the goal will not be scored for corner kicks, free kicks, throw-ins or even penalty kicks, and if it is obtained by Manchester United's offensive players in a fatal position Ball, then it is really doomed.

Although Van Dijk is young now and his way of handling the ball is still a bit immature, there is generally nothing wrong with him.

In particular, he can quickly replay sliding tackles from a relatively far position. This performance alone is enough for him to gain a foothold in the Premier League.

The deadly attack of the Vampire Duke was neutralized by the joint efforts of Gu Ran and Van Dyke.

Southampton fans applauded the players ecstatically.

I originally thought that the new center Salah would be a big surprise, but I didn't expect that these strange and young guys in the back line were also a surprise!

Ferguson, who was sitting on the Manchester United bench, was chewing gum and knitting his brows together, as if he could squeeze a mung bean fly to death.

To be honest, Ferguson really didn't expect that Southampton's big shakeup could be so strong.

The game continues.

Manchester United is still in control of the game.

Five minutes into the game, Southampton had only one running attack, while Manchester United had two running attacks, as well as a free kick and a corner kick.

But the score of both sides is still 0:0.

Giggs trotted to the corner kick area, aimed at the penalty area, and then hit a sharp and accurate curve ball.

Vidic aggressively pressed Jaidi to take off, but Rudiger pushed the ball out of the penalty area before Vidic's head touched the ball.

After Evra picked up the ball from the outside, he fired an angry shot towards the goal, and the football flew away.

Manchester United fans suddenly lamented.

In this wave of continuous attacks, Manchester United used all their strength, but failed to score a goal.

The Southampton team after the magic reform can already withstand Manchester United's offense without the need for a steel barrel defense.

Although it is still a draw, this Community Shield Cup is destined to be an extremely exciting game!
