Soccer Super Marksman

Mata's header flew to the middle of the goal, and Lukaku's forward drive was unstoppable. It seemed to be a one-handed goal!

But Lukaku can only have one choice: header!
He used his slightly streamlined head to head the ball, and the football flew directly towards the goal. With goalkeeper Walton already unable to recover, Lukaku and the audience witnessed the football rubbing against the upper edge of the crossbar inconceivably. Fly out of the bottom line!
"My God! Lukaku missed a great opportunity, he is really not good at heading! Such a good opportunity, so close to the goal, the goal range is so wide in front of his eyes, as long as the ball is not headed to Walton Within the range of the body, the ball is there! However, Lukaku still missed it!"

Lukaku himself felt incredible. He thought that he had controlled the power and angle of the header just now, but the trajectory of the football flight seemed to be different from what he expected.

Lukaku walked towards the midfield with a sinking face, and he had no other thoughts but helplessness.

In terms of statistics, Lukaku, the number one striker in European football today, is almost perfect, and his imperfection is his header ability.This has become a foregone conclusion.

The players at Wigan Athletic felt amazing. They played this game with a strategy of 8 men defending and 2 men attacking.

But it is not clear whether it is because of wanting nothing or other reasons. They did not show absolute tenacity, which led to the team's defense line being in danger.

But the danger is the danger, the team just doesn't concede the ball!

This situation is really strange.It's not that they defended well, it's that Manchester United squandered their opportunities!

Football games are sometimes just unclear, and various factors may lead to a completely different relationship between the result of the game and the process of the game.

But this instead made Wigan Athletic players relieved.

Manchester United can't grasp the opportunity by itself, so don't blame others!

Instead they relaxed, enjoying United's lack of luck.

Let's just play like this, Manchester United can't score anyway!The champion will be decided in the final game!

In a general 90-minute game, there are four time periods that the coach deliberately emphasizes in training.

10 minutes after the start of the first half and 5 minutes before the end of the first half.5 minutes after the start of the second half and 10 minutes before the end of the game.

These four time periods, in the two time periods after the opening, it is easy for teams to enter the state slowly, resulting in loss of the ball or being passive throughout the game, forced to follow the rhythm of the opponent who entered the state first.

Before the end of the first half, it is easy to have mental slack, because the intermission is about to enter, and the time before the end of the game is the most dangerous. Minutes have reached a critical point, and many of the motivations that support players to continue to play are derived from spiritual will.

The first half of the Old Trafford Stadium has come to the 44th minute of the game, and the stoppage time may be only 1 minute at most, and even the referee can blow the whistle for the end of the first half without stoppage time.

Wigan Athletic is still facing Manchester United with a defensive attitude. They are not like a monolith, but after relaxing their mental state, their performance has improved significantly, while Manchester United inevitably has some players who become anxious and fluctuate in performance.

Like Pogba, frequent inside cuts make it difficult for the passer to find the passing space. Mata cuts into the penalty area to form a new striker but can only force himself, but there is no way to threaten the opponent's goal.

The players at Wigan Athletic have a simple idea.You can't grasp the opportunity, so why be so nervous?
In the last minute of the first half, two wide players in Manchester United's attack group and forward Lukaku rushed into the penalty area. They wanted the teammates in the midfield to create some chaos for them to see if they could win in chaos.

Lingard stepped forward with the ball, and he could no longer see the space to send opportunities to the striker.

When midfielder Powell returned to the middle of the midfield to defend, Lingard passed the ball directly to Cui Zhen who ran out of space to respond.

Cui Zhen controlled the football, facing Wigan Athletic's defensive line, he slowly dribbled the ball forward in a leisurely manner.

In front of midfielder Powell and Sam Morsey, Cui Zhen took a step on a bicycle, pulled the ball to the left, then immediately pulled the ball back, then turned around and passed the ball to the right.

This is the dribbling technique he used against Villarreal when Rodri Hernandez flicked him past him.

Changing direction is not too difficult, the difficulty is flexibility.It just so happened that Cui Zhen felt that he could do it, so he tried to get rid of it like this.

This kind of escape is very suitable for static use.

Midfielder Powell made the same mistake as Cui Zhen did.

When Cui Zhen pulled the ball to the left, he followed him to the left and saw that he was approaching Cui Zhen, and Cui Zhen pulled the ball behind him again, which made midfielder Powell think that Cui Zhen was forced to "retreat" , So he subconsciously stepped forward to intercept!

But just as Powell stepped forward to press down, Cui Zhen slammed the ball to the right side continuously, and Powell missed it!
Cui Zhen got rid of his defense, and at this time happened to be in Sam Morsey's frontal defense area.Sam Morsey also stepped forward to intercept, but was shocked to see that Cui Zhen took the ball obliquely and blocked the gap between him and Powell.

Cui Zhen almost made a small circle in a small area, playing Tai Chi that foreigners don't understand. After passing Sam Morsey diagonally, Cui Zhen still didn't speed up because the space was too small.

But when he raised his eyes to observe the Wigan Athletic goal, he instantly caught a detail.Cui Zhen was on the left side in front of the penalty area. When he looked towards the goal, he did not see goalkeeper Walton.

The back line shrank very tightly, and defender Byrne blocked between Cui Zhen and goalkeeper Walton, making Cui Zhen a blind spot in Walton's field of vision!
Cui Zhen seemingly absent-mindedly pushed the ball towards the lower right corner of the goal with the arch of his foot.

Goalkeeper Walton focused his attention. Although he didn't see Cui Zhen's people, he guessed who Cui Zhen would pass the ball to.

Mata?

Pogba?
Lukaku?
This is the point where there is a huge threat in the penalty area.

But just as goalkeeper Walton speculated and predicted, and was about to move on the goal line for a reasonable defense at any time, he was stunned to see the football roll over from defender Byrne.

He immediately thought that the ball was passed to Mata, but he observed Mata's position instantly, and felt that Mata could not receive the ball.

Goalkeeper Walton's inner world suddenly set off a huge wave!

He was terrified, and once thought that the ball was Cui Zhen's wrong pass, and blindly sent the ball into the penalty area.

But when the football rolled past the parallel position of the penalty kick, the goalkeeper Walton realized belatedly: the slow football is coming towards the goal!
Walton immediately moved towards the lower right corner of the goal. This slow shot made the audience nervous.

It looks like you can get in, but it seems you can't.It seems to be successfully saved by the goalkeeper, but I always feel that there is hope of scoring again!

After running two steps, Walton felt that he had to make a saving action, so he threw out horizontally, stretched his left arm to the extreme, and the fingertips of his palm reached for the football that was about to roll into the goal against the right post of the goal.

Everything does not seem to have the earth-shattering and explosive visual sense on the green field, but in this slow duel, it seems that the calm scene has turned into another world.

Walton stared dumbfounded at his left hand, and finally just missed the football, and the football slowly rolled into the goal, rubbing against the inside of the goal post under his eyelids!
boom!
Walton fell in front of the goal line. The football rolled against the inner net and stopped within a meter. It was a very peaceful goal, but Walton felt as if he had been hit by a bolt from the blue!
There was deafening applause from the stands of the Old Trafford Stadium, and Cui Zhen showed a happy smile after seeing the football roll into the goal.

This goal was scored, it tasted too much.

Cui Zhen rushed to the sidelines, and the flags fluttering in the wind were once again waved by the fans.

Manchester United fans did not hesitate to dote on Cui Zhen and kept cheering his name, and many fans immediately began to talk about the goal, describing the part of the scene that seemed to be goalkeeper Walton's unresponsiveness.

"Cui Zhen scored! It's an incredible goal. Although the angle of the ball is tricky, the speed of the ball is not fast. It doesn't look like a big threat. But through the slow motion replay, we can understand that goalkeeper Walton's line of sight is blocked. The save was made after seeing the football roll into the penalty area, and despite trying to save the goal, he failed in the end!

The crowd cheered in the stadium at Old Trafford. Cui Zhen once again became the hero of the team. His contribution is unparalleled. Now that Manchester United is leading, as long as they win, they will be able to successfully defend the title one round ahead of schedule!
This is a golden goal! "

Perhaps Cui Zhen, who is enjoying the cheers of the fans and showing himself under the attention of all the people, as if tens of thousands of people respond to him when he ascends the heights, has not realized what his status and importance in this team has become. look.

Lukaku, Pogba, Mata, Lingard and others were not excited and excited after seeing him send the football into Wigan Athletic's goal, but felt relaxed and relieved in their hearts.

Once, twice, three times, when Cui Zhen stood up at a critical moment, even when the team was not in danger, he scored goals for the team, created excellent opportunities for the team, and broke the deadlock. I'm used to it.

Subconsciously, there is already a sense of dependence.

Lukaku may be carrying the team forward alone, the burden is too heavy, and he feels relieved to have the support of his teammates.

But other players are really used to Cui Zhen's prominence and brilliance.After becoming a habit, they naturally gathered around Cui Zhen, hugged him, congratulated him, shared his joy together, and reveled in the success of the team together.
