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

Berbatov's kick is very beautiful and coquettish!

But it’s too much about angles!

Davis reacted very quickly and jumped up but missed the ball.

Fortunately, Rudiger came to protect him in time, and Rooney was unable to get the second shot for a follow-up shot.

Davis also rolled and rushed in a very embarrassed manner, pressing the football under him.

Southampton blocked this attack.

In the 41st minute, Southampton's fast-break pass from the wing was destroyed by Evra. Manchester United got the ball in the backcourt and quickly counterattacked.

Giggs dribbles the ball on Manchester United's left wing and runs long distances. For this 37-year-old veteran, this kind of long-distance running is really a rare scene. This also shows that Manchester United is really anxious now. .

Gu Ran and Mikel double-teamed Giggs at the same time, and Giggs' sprint speed was immediately suppressed by Gu Ran's physical confrontation.

The other Southampton players immediately took the opportunity to return and settle down.

Seeing that Giggs couldn't get rid of Gu Ran and Mikel, and if he continued like this, he was in danger of being intercepted and counterattacked on the spot, so Giggs could only force an emergency stop, and then take advantage of Mikel's failure to follow up. In the gap, he directly passed the ball diagonally and lobbed the ball towards Southampton's penalty area.

Rooney was like a little tank, knocking away Jaidi and preparing to catch the ball and shoot!

However, at the critical moment, Rudiger rushed up and blocked Rooney with Jaidi!

Berbatov outside the penalty area has already started ghostly, but Van Dijk immediately followed Berbatov!

Nani on the right wing also penetrated into Southampton's penalty area at this time, and took advantage of the chaos to get Giggs' high-altitude pass.

However, before Nani could stop the ball and shoot, Luke Shaw rushed forward and shoveled the ball out of the baseline!

Nani fell to the ground!

Although Luke Shaw was sure that he had not touched Nani, Nani dived without hesitation!

The referee blew the whistle immediately!

Southampton's players quickly surrounded the referee, not wanting the referee to make a wrong judgment.

However, the referee still pointed to the twelve yards without hesitation!

The referee awarded a penalty kick!

Luke Shaw also received his first yellow card for the first time in his career!

The young and immature Luke Xiao broke down and cried.

This kind of pressure is indeed too much for a 16-year-old child.

Getting a yellow card in his first professional game was nothing, but the key point was that he was given a penalty kick even though he made no mistake.

This ball is likely to change the score and situation of the scene.

Seeing Luke Xiao collapse, Gu Ran quickly ran to his side to comfort him in various ways.

Seeing this, other Southampton players also ran over to comfort Luke Shaw.

The Southampton fans at the scene also gave encouraging applause to Luke Shaw, who had been wronged.

To be honest, the performance of left back Luke Shaw, who played for the first time, was indeed very good today. Given that Southampton is in short supply of regular left backs, Luke Shaw definitely has great potential for development.

If Luke Shaw's will breaks down because of something like a card or a penalty kick, the loss will be huge.

Fortunately, with the comfort of his teammates, Luke Shaw regained some of his energy.

However, the referee still insisted on awarding Southampton a penalty kick.

Southampton's penalty area was cleared, and Davis stood alone in front of the goal. Rooney stood on the penalty spot.

As the leading forward of Manchester United, penalty kicks, which are easy to score, naturally have to be taken care of by Rooney or Berbatov.

Other players stand outside the penalty area, ready to rush in for extra shots and clearances.

Rooney stared at the goal sharply, took a few steps back, ran quickly, and volleyed hard to the ground!

Davis was highly concentrated and quickly lay down to save!

However, Rooney's kick was too powerful and too fast. Moreover, the football was close to the turf and the small bounces were very irregular!

The football was blocked by Davis' arm and changed its line slightly, but it still headed towards the goal!

There is nothing Davis can do!

The ball went in!

44th minute of the first half! Manchester United relied on Nani's diving to cheat a penalty kick. Rooney volleyed hard to the ground and changed the score to Southampton 1:2 Manchester United!

When the first half was about to enter stoppage time, Manchester United took the lead again!

The Manchester United fans in the stands of Wembley Stadium cheered happily.

The Southampton fans booed wildly and mocked Manchester United as "Penalty Kicks United".

While the Manchester United players were celebrating, Gu Ran applauded and encouraged his teammates. All the Southampton players held their breath and quickly settled down.

The game continues.

The fourth official held up a sign to indicate three minutes of injury time in the first half.

There were no injuries or suspensions for either team in the first half, and the 3 minutes of stoppage time was considered reasonable.

After Southampton restarted the kick, Lallana made an overstep and gave the ball to Gu Ran.

Gu Ran dribbled from the backcourt to the left. Manchester United's defense immediately felt like a formidable enemy, and the center of gravity of the formation also shifted to the left.

However, Park Ji-sung and Carrick, who were originally used to defend Gu Ran, were already beaten to death by Gu Ran's walking, and could not keep up with Gu Ran's sprint speed. Manchester United's right midfielder Na Ni can only dive and has poor frontal defense ability.

Right back Hargreaves was both offensive and defensive, but before Hargreaves could come forward, Gu Ran passed the ball to Lallana, who was supporting him in the middle, and then quickly inserted himself without the ball. At the top of Manchester United's penalty area.

Just such a simple interspersed movement made the entire Manchester United team break into a cold sweat!

And this is where Gu Ran is so powerful!

Gu Ran's physical fitness, speed, and running ability are even more powerful when Manchester United is in the physical window period! So there is no need for complicated coordination at all, just a simple deep penetration is enough!

As the saying goes, great skill is as good as clumsiness, and great sound makes great sound. Gu Ran's interpolation can definitely be regarded as a master-level interpolation!

Manchester United's defense immediately doubled up on Gu Ran. At least six players, including Rio Ferdinand and Vidic, all squeezed into Gu Ran's side.

Lallana looked up at the situation——

Gu Ran pointed toward the weak area on the far right side of the penalty area!

Lallana understood immediately and instead of passing the ball to the heavily surrounded Gu Ran, he pushed the ball straight into the weak area pointed by Gu Ran!

Salah was like a Pharaoh's arrow, sprinting from the back row to the weak area on the right side of the penalty area!

Third master Evra hurriedly chased after him, but he couldn't catch up with Salah's sprint speed!

Salah stopped the ball perfectly before it rolled out of the baseline!

The angle between the football and the goal is almost zero degrees!

Salah... rubs the ball and does it again!
