Chapter 439: I Was Beaten Until I Didn’t Even Recognize My Mother
"Recoba, with his left foot, can take very scary free kicks. Van der Sar must stay focused enough. The wall that Manchester United sets up is very particular. The high points are lowered from left to right for prevention. Recoba plays on the left and the near corner must be protected. Recoba has scored many free kicks like this in Serie A."
Van der Sar lay down at the near post and shouted several times. He was not satisfied with the wall and kept urging his teammates to line up according to his instructions.
Recoba was not in a hurry. He stood in front of the ball and allowed Van der Sar to toss him around. No matter how the wall moved, his eyes remained calm and firm.
After Van der Sar calmed down and the referee's whistle sounded, he slowly took four steps back to the right, then hunched over and started running.
When he touched the ball, his body tilted very much, and the ball was pulled out from the inside of his left foot!
boom
The ball drew a strong arc of rotation and indeed bypassed the wall from the side! Not from the top of your head!
Ferdinand, who was on the far left, wanted to tilt his body to the left to stop the ball, but the ball flashed past and he had no time to react.
Standing in front of the goal, Van der Sar was obviously stunned. By the time he judged the flight path of the ball, it was too late!
The stands at Old Trafford were filled with mourning...
well……
Van der Sar subconsciously pounced to the right, without fully stretching his body. With a clang, the ball bounced off the goal post and flew into the goal!
"g!"
"g!"
erful!”
“The Uruguayan’s footwork is really terrible!”
"2:1, thanks to Recoba's beautiful free kick, Inter Milan took the lead again in the away game. Van der Sar had no choice. He had arranged the wall to be perfect, but the ball kicked by Recoba still found it. Route to goal..."
"The arc of this ball is so exaggerated that it almost violates the laws of physics..."
"Perhaps only David Beckham's scimitar can rival it!"
※※※※
"Perverted!"
"You can actually take such a set kick,
If only David were still here! "At this time, Manchester United fans began to miss David Beckham. Recoba's free kicks are certainly scary, but Beckham's free kicks can also make them feel at ease.
But now Manchester United does not have such a set-piece master. A Ronaldo tomahawk free kick is not enough. After all, the goal success rate is so low...
After all, Manchester United still allowed Inter Milan to score two away goals, and the score was still behind!
It doesn't get much worse than this.
Last year's game against Milan was not so miserable, but this year's game against Inter Milan actually conceded two goals in the first 20 minutes.
It's useless to say anything now, we can only continue to find ways to score goals.
In the 22nd minute, Manchester United finally reached the penalty area of Inter Milan. Cristiano Ronaldo once again passed the ball. Cordoba made a mistake in judgment again. Dong Fangzhuo shot with his right foot before Samuel, but Santos Toldo's name is not sealed, he confiscated the ball very calmly.
Toldo immediately threw the ball to Cambiaso. Cambiaso did not stop the ball and directly volleyed the ball in front. With excellent passing skills, the ball actually found Stankovic accurately.
Stankovic unloaded the ball and spiked it to his left foot, and immediately passed the ball to the left side of Manchester United's penalty area. Recoba's chest stopped and he picked up his right foot. He instantly passed the panicked Ferdinand and shot a long shot with his left foot from 25 meters away from the goal. Van der Sar did not dare to neglect and flew to save the ball from the baseline.
Recoba fully demonstrated his excellent personal skills and strong shooting ability.
A corner kick was taken, and Adriano beat Vidic to header, but the referee called a foul on the attacking side.
"It's the first time I've seen Vidic in such a mess. As for Ferdinand, let alone that..."
"Fierce, Adriano is so fierce. He seems to have completely regained his confidence and form from the goal just now. Manchester United's defense has withstood a great test today."
Manchester United had little choice but to find the trident through long passes. Carrick made a long pass to the top of the Inter Milan penalty area. Samuel was pulled away by Rooney. Dong Fangzhuo took off and competed with Cordoba for position. Cordoba could not resist. , pulled down Dong Fangzhuo, the referee awarded Cordoba a foul, and Manchester United got a free kick on the penalty area line.
Cordoba refused to accept the penalty and protested against the referee. As a result, he was shown a yellow card. Then Recoba suddenly raised his hand to signal that he was going to leave!
This made all the Manchester United fans suddenly want to cheer.
"Hey, is this guy injured?"
"what happened?"
Manchester United fans are eager for Recoba to be injured and end the field. After all, the free kick just now was really terrible. With such a guy on the field, as long as there is a set kick in the frontcourt, it is simply a nightmare.
"Although Recoba went down, Martins came up... It's really not a good thing for Manchester United. Martins' speed can wreak havoc on Manchester United's defense..."
Lineker was not feeling much optimism.
Martins comes on as a substitute.
Ronaldo stood in front of the set piece to take the free kick, but he carefully prepared the ball that he shot nearly a minute later, and it completely missed the goal...
This is the difference between him and Recoba.
Inter Milan immediately counterattacked. Zanetti took the ball from the right of the midfielder and continuously changed directions to pass Rooney and Evra! Dribbling the ball 40 meters and approaching the Manchester United penalty area!
But there is someone who runs faster than him. Adriano is almost on the same line as Vidic.
Zanetti's cross was not ideal, Adriano ran too far and failed to form a shot. However, when Manchester United counterattacked, the ball was caught by Cambiaso. Cambiaso pushed it directly to Adriano. Adriano, who was tall and strong, tried to pass Carrick with the ball, but was stuck. Rick tripped him right up.
Inter Milan won a free kick from 27 meters on the right side of the penalty area. Adriano stood in front of the ball in person and wanted to take the set kick.
"Adriano's free kick is also terrifying. It's quite powerful, but it's very strong and can help Manchester United stop him very well."
Adriano is not so particular. He just runs in a straight line and runs towards the ball with great force.
Boom
A violent volley that weighs a thousand pounds. The ball flew over the head of the wall and hit the goal instantly, but flew out from the left side of the goal...
"What a vicious shot!"
"Fortunately, it didn't go in. Did Van der Sar in front of the goal not react, or did he think the ball wouldn't fly into the goal at all?"
In the 38th minute, Inter Milan made a comeback again. Zanetti once again dribbled the ball through Manchester United's backcourt. Neither Giggs nor Park Ji-sung could stop Zanetti from rushing forward. Zanetti's spike and cut inside were very proficient, unlike Manchester United. Like Cristiano Ronaldo, a lot of messy little techniques have to be added.
Zanetti finally shot hard with his left foot from the left side of the arc in the penalty area, but unfortunately the ball went slightly wide.
It is said that Zanetti is a jack of all trades, right back, right midfielder, defensive midfielder, he can do it all. The Argentinians at that time were very perverted, and they were all talented. Guys who can enter the Argentine national team are definitely super perverts.
Two minutes later, he once again received a pass from Veron and once again formed a breakthrough on the right. Giggs had never seen a veteran be so fierce! Even if Giggs tried to be lazy for just a second, Zanetti would blow him up.
Zanetti calmly made a cross with his right foot. Adriano, who was outflanking in the middle, took off from the top of the penalty area. Vidic was resisted again, and Ferdinand simply couldn't keep up with the rhythm!
boom
The ball flew towards the lower right corner of the goal!
Van der Sar made the right decision this time, but the ball slipped out...
Just a little bit, Adriano changed the score again.
Inter Milan coach Mancini on the sidelines was extremely regretful.
Entering stoppage time, Inter Milan still focused on the right.
"Farke! It's him again!"
"He's never finished!"
Fortunately, this time Zanetti rushed too hard and took the ball directly out of the baseline...
"33 years old, is he really 33 years old? I really want to catch him for a slice experiment. Ryan, you have to learn from Zanetti."
"In the last 20 minutes of the first half, Manchester United was beaten so hard that I didn't even recognize my mother..."
