Chapter 0186 Halftime Suspense
Sometimes, a wonderful goal, a beautiful tackle, and a steady defense can ignite the morale and passion of the players on the court.
This is especially true for passionate teams like Manchester United.
Rooney's goal helped the team lead two goals, greatly boosting Manchester United's morale and passion. After a crazy celebration, everyone began to play more proactively and even launched a counterattack towards Liverpool in the away-to-door manner.
First, Rooney made a forced breakthrough in the middle and saw a chance. Suddenly, he shot out loudly outside the penalty area. This shot was fast, urgent and suddenly, which made the entire Anfield Stadium sweat.
Karius reacted quickly and saved the ball quickly, which barely resolved a crisis.
Manchester United quickly took a corner kick, and Maguire headed the ball ten meters in front of the goal, slightly higher.
Two consecutive attacks created a threat, and Manchester United continued to launch an offensive.
Rooney also became more and more active, especially since he no longer locked himself on the right, but became a libero in the frontcourt, which was also recognized by Manchester United teammates.
Ibrahimovic opened the defensive player for Rooney. De Bruyne quickly passed the ball over the top on the right side of the middle. Rooney quickly inserted the penalty spot from the middle and shot directly with his right foot before the Liverpool player was in place.
Karius flew to save the ball again, resolving Rooney's sure-fire shot and saving Liverpool's goal.
Corner kick!
……………………
Rooney climbed up from the grass in the penalty area and slapped off the grass chips on his body panting.
At this time, several Manchester United's high-pointers and players who are good at heading came up.
De Bruyne was ambushed outside the penalty area, ready to rush in at any time to stage a final kill.
Mata ran to the corner kick area, after setting up the football, stepped on the grass behind the football, and slowly retreated.
De Bruyne was somewhat surprised to find that Rooney did not go to the penalty area to grab the spot, but quietly ran outside the penalty area, not far from him.
Although Rooney is less than 1.8 meters tall, he is very strong and has a strong header. Usually Manchester United has corner kicks, Rooney either takes the penalty or runs to the penalty area to grab the spot. It is rare to run outside the penalty area like this.
"What is the captain trying to do?" De Bruyne thought to himself.
At this time, with the referee's whistle, all the players inside and outside the penalty area immediately heard the news.
De Bruyne quickly threw away the player who was defending him and rushed to the front point of the goal.
Ibrahimovic, Maguire, Van Dijk and other high-point players also put pressure on the middle and front points together. Luke Shaw, Valdy and others also moved quickly, interfering with the defense of Liverpool players. The entire penalty area was immediately in chaos.
Mata quickly sent a corner kick, but did not appear at the front point as everyone expected, nor did he fall in the middle, but reached the back point.
"Dangerous!" Henderson reacted first and shouted. But when the Liverpool captain turned around, he suddenly found that Rooney, who was originally blocked by him, was missing. In an instant, he had a very ominous premonition.
In this kind of corner kick offensive and defensive battle, missing people is the most likely to lead to conceding goals.
The penalty area was already in chaos, and there was no way to find where Rooney had gone.
Only Rooney himself knew very well. He deliberately retreated, retreated to the left side of the front of the penalty area, and suddenly quickly penetrated into the penalty area.
Klein was stationed at the back point of Liverpool. When he saw the ball flying towards him, he wanted to clear it immediately. But as soon as the thought arose, he felt a sudden figure in front of him. A Manchester United player suddenly rushed to him and jumped high before him.
Klein was only 1.75 meters tall, which was originally three centimeters. At this moment, Rooney rushed up from behind quickly. After a run-up, he jumped up with all his might, which made Klein even forget to jump. He just raised his head and looked at Rooney, who was like a god.
Very high!
He jumped so high!
……………………
After Rooney predicted the ball's landing point and trajectory, combined with his own bounce force, he was confident enough to grab the landing point.
With the help of more than ten meters of running-up, he leaped with all his strength. His whole body controlled his body, his legs and head tilted as much as possible, and his whole body seemed to have a arch pulled open. When the ball came to him, he controlled his core abdominal muscles, and his head and legs tried to stretch forward as much as possible. The force that kicked upwards, all the strength in his body was transmitted to his head through the core muscles, and then he hit the flying ball through his forehead.
The ball was smashed into Liverpool's goal by him!
Facing this close-knit header, Karius couldn't even react. He instinctively stretched out his right hand to stop it, but the ball still rubbed against the left post and crashed into the goal behind him!
0:3!
This is definitely a goal to kill the game!
……………………
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"
"God! Rooney's header is so high! Looking around, he is even taller than Maguire and Ibrahimovic who are nearly twenty centimeters taller than him!"
"Beautiful header! Rooney's header reminds me of Cristiano Ronaldo's header at Old Trafford beat Evra and broke Manchester United's goal!"
"We can see that Rooney, who was taking off, had almost reached Klein's head at the height of his knee!"
"It was indeed a very shocking goal. Not only Liverpool players, but even Rooney's Manchester United players were shocked."
"Rooney scored a lot of headers in his career, but they are far less surprising than the header now."
"Klein was stunned by his side, and he felt like he saw the gods descending to earth."
"The suspense of this game has been ended. Although the half of the game has not ended yet, it is difficult for Liverpool to reverse Manchester United in the next game. After all, Ye Su's team is not AC Milan!"
...
After Rooney landed, he clenched his fists with both hands, raised them high above his head, and roared to the sky again, venting his inner excitement.
This feeling is so cool and so satisfying!
When he jumped high, he really felt like he was condescending and looking down at all living beings.
When he noticed Klein's stunned eyes and saw that the Liverpool players around him were almost shocked and shocked, he really had the urge to cheer wildly.
But before he could shout, he was surrounded by Manchester United's teammates.
