Chapter 717 Hanging in the air
Chapter 717 Hanging in the air
"Bayern Munich's first corner of the game... There was some skirmish in the penalty area earlier, with Lucio and Vidic shoving each other for position... But the conflict quickly subsided. Now... look at the ball!"
On TV, German commentator Marcel Leif is explaining the corner.
Then his voice suddenly rose an octave.
"Rong——!!!"
In his eyes, Rong Guang jumped high. The timing of this jump was a little early, but it didn't matter. After less than a second, the football flew over, and Rong Guang was still in the air!He's still at a height where he can hit the ball!
So he exclaimed.
Accompanied by his exclamation, Rong Guang twisted his waist and shook his head, hitting the football hard!
Shake your head and attack the goal!
Rong Guang, who rushed from the back to the middle and then took off, threw the football to the back of the goal!
Although the Manchester United goalkeeper van der Sar, who was standing in the middle, made a save, the shot was too far from the football, and he didn't expect that it was a glorious header, which made his reaction a bit slower than normal.
Just like that, he turned around hastily and saw the football... had hit the net!
The ball is in!
Go in?
He stared wide-eyed in the air, looking at the football spinning in the net in disbelief...
"Rong——!!!" Marcel Leff yelled loudly again. "Header! Header! Rong's header! He headed past Manchester United's goal! This is... this is the first header of Rong's career!"
Marcel Leff yelled hysterically, because he himself didn't expect that the ball would be shot by Glory...
※※※
Sitting on the coach's bench, Ferguson raised his neck slightly when he saw the scene where Rong Guang headed the football into the goal, with a surprised expression on his face.
On the coaching bench of the visiting team not far from him, Magath pushed aside his assistant Henk and rushed down from the coaching bench, rushed to the sidelines in one breath, and then raised his arms and shouted: "Success!"
Not only was the tactic successful, but also his gamble was successful.
Choosing to trust Rong Guang's head in such an important match...it is indeed a gamble.Because Rongguang had never scored a goal with a header in a game before, Magath also took a huge risk in trusting Rongguang.
If the game is lost and Rongguang does not perform well, then Magath will inevitably be scolded by the media and will only rely on Rongguang. He is the most insignificant head coach.
But now...he can vent all the anger in his heart.
※※※
After Rong Guang shook his head to attack the goal, he didn't turn his neck back, and still maintained the posture of shaking his head, watching the football.
He saw Van der Sar jumping into the air, and he also saw the football flying into the goal.
Then his foot hit the turf.
Because he forgot to maintain his balance in the air and jumped too high, Rong Guang staggered when he landed.But he took advantage of the momentum to rush forward, and at the same time opened his arms.
He wants to run and celebrate this goal!
I, with my head, scored a goal!
※※※
Rooney stood on the ground with his legs spread apart, his body leaned back slightly, and he turned his head to look at the football in the goal in surprise.
Then he withdrew his gaze and turned to the running figure.
Bayern Munich's number nine, Rong!
He actually scored with his head?
Rooney never figured out how this happened, even though he was the closest to Rongguang.
But when the corner kick was taken, his attention was all on football, and he didn't care about the glory around him at all.
Then when he was staring at the football, he found a jumping glory suddenly appeared in his vision, which surprised him too—how did that kid get there? !
Regarding this question, Cristiano Ronaldo standing outside the penalty area should be able to answer Rooney, but he is in a bad mood now, and may not be willing to tell Rooney how Rongguang did it.
Unlike Rooney, his eyes were always firmly locked on Rong Guang.
He saw the whole process of the goal.
Before the corner kick was sent, Glory was indeed at the back point, standing beside Rooney.But when Misimovic kicked the football out, Rong Guang suddenly advanced forward, throwing off the defender with speed, then stopped suddenly when he ran to the middle, and then jumped up on the spot.
Jump a little early.
At that time, Cristiano Ronaldo was still dismissive of this, thinking that Rongguang had made a low-level mistake again, and it was strange to be able to hit the ball so early in the jump.
But then he was dumbfounded and looked at Rong Guang in shock.
He saw that Rong Guang had an obvious gap in the air!
He straightened up and stayed in the air until the football arrived, then swung his head towards the goal...there was no longer any United players in the airspace around him.No one can stop him, interfere with him.
Scoring a goal is a matter of course, a matter of course...
But this fact still shocked Cristiano Ronaldo - how could he stop in the air?How can he top this ball?
He couldn't accept this fact for a while.
That's when he discovered Rongguang's header technique...it's actually pretty good!
The reason why he didn't score a header before is also normal.Who can guarantee that every time you take off and compete for the top in the game, you can score a goal?
※※※
Rong Guang ran wildly in the rain, and when he turned the corner because the ground was slippery, he fell to the ground, and he simply couldn't get up, lying on his back on the ground, letting the rain splash on his face and body.
Excited teammates rushed up, pressed him down, and stacked Arhats to celebrate the goal.
An away goal, a lead and... our training days paid off!Tactics work!
This is what makes everyone happiest.
Effective tactics mean that their hopes of winning have greatly increased!
※※※
The Bayern Munich players were very happy, but the reporters in the stands were very surprised.
"Rong...he scored with a header?"
"Am I not mistaken? Just now Rong Mingming jumped too early...how could he still hit the ball?"
"Stay in the air! He has an obvious hang in the air!"
"You mean basketball superstar Michael Jordan in the air?"
"That's right...it's that kind of lingering in the air! After his body reached the top, it obviously slowed down and fell..."
"But how is it possible? How many football players can do it?"
"Yeah, you read that right? Football shoes and basketball shoes have different support for players' jumping. In addition, it is more difficult to take off on soft turf than on solid wooden floors..."
Just when everyone was discussing, the big screen at the scene released the slow-motion shot of Rong Guang's goal just now.
They ended their argument and turned to look at the big screen.
On the screen, the action of Rong Guang jumping up and heading the ball was slowed down and replayed repeatedly.
Everyone can clearly see that there is indeed an obvious gap in the air for Rong Guang!
It was this stagnation that allowed him to hit the ball accurately and powerfully even though he jumped too early!
resulting in a goal.
In front of the repeated slow motion, the reporters have nothing to argue about.
So the question was changed to - how could he head the ball?
"In the game against Schalke 04 four days ago, he had a very embarrassing fall. How could he score such a beautiful header four days later? And judging from the slow motion, his header movement is very standard... It doesn't look like a beginner at all..."
"You can't use 'blind' this time, right? The ball is absolutely impossible to get in!"
"Now that I think of it, Lucio and Van Buyten are more like covering Rong, and Rong is what Misimovich is really looking for... This should be a set-piece offensive tactic by Bayern Munich! So... Rong has already been able to head the ball?" The reporter who analyzed here suddenly widened his eyes, and looked up at the glory in the stadium in disbelief.
"But...how is this possible? Rong has already known how to head the ball, why hasn't he scored with his head before?"
Alan Hansen sat in the commentary seat, looking a little embarrassed.But fortunately, this is a live broadcast, and the live broadcast signal will not cut his face, so no one will see the "wonderful" expression on his face, except his commentary partner Martin Taylor.
Martin Taylor turned his head to look at Alan Hansen with a hungry look, and then said with a smile: "The timing of the jump is wrong?"
Hansen reacted and rolled his eyes first: "Rong has a hang in the air, which is really thanks to his super physical fitness... Excellent waist strength and jumping allow him to stay in the air for a short time... But anyway, he really surprised me."
Hansen was very gracious, and he didn't bite down after being slapped in the face.He readily admitted his mistake.
"Manchester United was scored first by Bayern Munich at their own home court. The victory that was originally envisaged has now become behind. I think Manchester United will never accept the current score and situation reconciledly. They will definitely launch a fierce attack after the start of the game... This game really started to be exciting!" Martin Taylor said, no longer entangled in Alan Hansen's previous words.
After Rong Guang helped Bayern Munich take the lead, the game started again.
Ferguson made decisive adjustments.
He didn't pretend to frown on the sidelines and observe for a long time whether Rong Guang's header goal was due to luck or not.
Whether it's luck or not, anyway, it doesn't take much trouble to focus on Rongguang's header in defense.Absolutely not giving the opponent a chance to get lucky, Ferguson's attitude towards this game can be imagined.
There is absolutely no room for loss in your own home field!
Before, the former Nottingham Forest legendary coach Brian Clough, who has passed away, once mocked Ferguson, who was unparalleled in the Premier League era: "Ferguson? There is one thing I have two, but he only has one. Of course, I am not talking about balls..."
Of course it's not Eggy, but the champion of the Champions League.
As the head coach of Nottingham Forest, Clough led the team to win the Champions League twice, and it was two consecutive seasons.
As the most successful coach in English football today, Ferguson has led Manchester United to many league titles, but only one Champions League title.
Until now, everyone is still obsessed with the Triple Crown in 1999, which shows how much Manchester United desires for the Champions League.
Although Ferguson did not respond to Clough's original ridicule on the surface, he was indeed holding a breath in his heart.
He hopes that Manchester United can win more Champions League titles.
Especially as he is getting older, his wish is even more urgent.
This season is a great opportunity.
Cristiano Ronaldo has fully matured and the team's lineup has stabilized.
It's time for results...
How can you not even make it to the finals?
