Chapter 661 Volume [-] Red Ronald How Active

The game was deadlocked for 15 minutes, and Manchester United had an absolute advantage on the field. It was just their luck that they didn't score.

Tang En didn't expect his team to be in such a mess at Old Trafford, he was a little annoyed.

It is useless to blindly defend against Manchester United's offensive. If the Forest team cannot counterattack, it will be slowly eaten by Manchester United.

But how to guard against Ronaldo who is in good form...

※ ※ ※

Cristiano Ronaldo almost dropped to midfield to get the ball.The people of Nottingham Forest were forcing him to go out, and he followed suit and came back to receive the pass.After getting the ball, he used his superb foot skills to break through the Forest team's defense.

George Wood found Ronaldo more difficult to guard this season than in previous seasons.It's not how much fancy Ronaldo's skills are.On the contrary, the Portuguese is more practical at his feet. Not only can he dribble, but he also knows when to pass and when to shoot.The diversification of offensive methods makes him more difficult to guard against.

George Wood saw him coming up with the ball, looked left and right, determined the positions of his team and the opponent's players, and went up to him.Although Dunn didn't let him mark Ronaldo specifically, but now that the opponent has reached his own defense zone, if he doesn't go up to defend, is he still hiding?

He went up to intercept Ronaldo head-on, but Ronaldo passed the ball, unwilling to entangle with George Wood.

Ronaldo, who was running without the ball, bypassed Wood, received the ball from his teammates again, and successfully squeezed Wood behind him. Now it is considered a dangerous area, and he dared not foul easily even with Wood.

Wood really didn't dare to foul easily. He wanted to stab the ball in the back, but Ronaldo also did a good job of protecting the ball while dribbling, so he couldn't find the right time to get down.After a little hesitation, Ronaldo has found the right space and got into the penalty area.

This time, he didn't even dare to foul.

Pepe intends to steal Ronaldo's ball when he has just broken into the penalty area and is still unsteady.Unexpectedly, in a small space, Ronaldo still controlled the football at his feet. No matter how many people tried to break his ball, they just couldn't break it!And because it is in the penalty area, the defensive players must move carefully, the stealing strength is not enough, and it is not so easy to successfully steal the ball.

Ronaldo took aim at an open space and suddenly kicked and shot in the crowd. Although he was not strong, the angle was tricky enough.

Van der Sar was blinded by the crowd, but managed to throw the ball out, using his fingertips!
"Wooooow——Cristiano Ronaldo looks very good today! One person attracted all the defensive power of Nottingham Forest in the penalty area, and he can still shoot with his feet, and he can shoot with such quality. If it wasn't for Van der Sar Great performance, Manchester United should be leading 1-0 at this time!"

Ronaldo huddled through the crowd with his head held high, ready to score a point from the corner. Compared with those central defenders, his height of 1.8 meters is not inferior at all. Coupled with his outstanding jumping ability, he is indeed a threat to the Forest team in front of the goal.

Pepe pulled George Wood and pointed at Ronaldo.Indicated to let him defend Manchester United's No. 7.

Wood did not refuse, he stood in front of Ronaldo.

The Portuguese looked at Wood on the opposite side, but he didn't push and push, and the two just looked at each other face to face.Such a "friendly" corner kick defense seems a bit baffling to others.

But when the ball came out, Wood and Ronaldo started almost at the same time. Wood wanted to hold Ronaldo, and Ronaldo wanted to push Wood away.

The two jumped up entangled, only to realize that their hard work was in vain.Manchester United's corner kick was not good enough, and it went out of the baseline directly in the air...

※ ※ ※

Ronaldo's great activity made the forest team quite nervous. From then on, whenever he got the ball, at least three people would surround him to prevent him from breaking through easily.Anyway, the forest team's middle road is already a densely populated place, and it is normal for three people to besiege him.As one of the most popular attacking players at the moment, he deserves this treatment.

The Forest players all went to guard Ronaldo, but gradually ignored one person.

When Ronaldo was surrounded by the Forest team again, he did not choose a personal breakthrough or a kick shot this time, and he distributed the football to the left.

Wayne Rooney receives his pass.

There is only one Rafinha in front of Rooney now.

Due to Ronaldo's active performance, Nottingham Forest unconsciously shifted the focus of defense from the wing to the center, and then to him alone.Even Beckham sometimes needs to retreat to the center to assist in defense.

After Rooney got the ball, there was no one to defend him.

Facing Rafinha, who was strong offensively and weak defensively, Rooney was not polite to him, and after a feint made his center of gravity unstable, he accelerated his breakthrough.Rafinha's reaction was quick. Seeing that Rooney was going to pass by him, he immediately turned around and shoveled. Even if it was a foul, it was better than letting him break through easily.

The England kid seemed to have eyes behind him, and jumped up when Rafinha's feet arrived. Rafinha didn't tackle the ball, but just hooked Rooney.

Rooney staggered, but he quickly adjusted by relying on his outstanding physical fitness, and stumbled to catch up with the football.Pepe has already killed from the penalty area.At the same time, Beckham also came from the middle to help defend.

Seeing that Rooney was about to be cornered, he slammed the football into the middle.

At this moment, Ronaldo, Scholes and Hargreaves are all inside the penalty area.Nottingham Forest also has Piqué, Bale, Wood and Rafinha who just ran back.

Rooney's pass caused chaos in front of the goal.

Ronaldo was about to rush forward to grab a point, when he suddenly felt someone's hand grabbing his shoulder and pushing forward.There was a shudder in his mind, and he immediately fell down.

The fallen Ronaldo also knocked over Piqué in front of him.

For a while, people in the penalty area were turned on their backs, but the football passed through the door in chaos, and no one came across it!

Manchester United fans became excited as they saw Ronaldo go down and heard the referee's whistle.

The referee on duty ran into the penalty area and pointed at...the penalty spot!

※ ※ ※

"Damn it!" Seeing this scene, Tang En became furious off the court. "This is clearly a flop! That referee is blind!"

Ferguson next door was standing on the sidelines smiling and applauding. He didn't care if it was a flop or not. As long as the referee called Nottingham Forest a foul, it was a Nottingham Forest foul.

Huge cheers erupted from the stands at Old Trafford, drowning out the boos of the Nottingham Forest fans.At this moment, the home field advantage is fully revealed.

On the pitch, amidst the overwhelming cheers of the Manchester United fans, the Nottingham Forest players were arguing with the referee.Bell clasped his hands and kept explaining to the referee that he did not push, it was just normal physical contact, and his strength was not enough to push Ronaldo down.

But the referee just shook his head and stood on the penalty spot, and would not change his judgment.

The stunned Tony Twain pointed at the group of Manchester United players hugging and celebrating on the sidelines and shouted: "Liar! Ronaldo, you are a real liar!"

Ronaldo had already gained a bad reputation for his many flops, but Tang En really didn't care about anything when he blatantly scolded him on his territory.

Ferguson frowned slightly when he heard his shout.The fourth official was attracted by his shout.

"Mr. Tony Twain, please calm down. I'm warning you, don't be sent to the stands for this."

Of course Tang En knew that what the other party said was not a joke, he curled his lips and stopped yelling.He just turned around and faced the coach's bench, with his back to the court, not wanting to watch the carnival that belonged to Manchester United.

※ ※ ※

Cristiano Ronaldo was surrounded by his teammates, surrounded by shouts of excitement, he had no idea what Dunn was shouting on the sidelines.But it doesn't matter, after the game is over, someone will naturally tell him what happened on the sidelines, and then the media can sit back and watch the tigers fight again.

The Nottingham Forest players' protest is invalid, and the penalty that has been made cannot be changed.They could only accept this result helplessly, but when a few people exited the penalty area, they still cast their resentful eyes on Ronaldo who was holding a football and preparing to punish him.

Among them, Gareth Bell, the "perpetrator", almost fixed his eyes on the other party.

Ronaldo didn't have time to care about whether other people's eyes were friendly. He walked to the penalty spot with the football in his arms and put the football on it firmly.

"Ronaldo has scored [-] goals in the league and is currently the top scorer, but obviously he doesn't want to end his scoring spree. If he can help Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest and finally win the league championship trophy, then he It must be the best player of the season, there is no doubt about it. As a midfielder, his total goals in a single season have reached forty, which is a very remarkable achievement! Ferguson put him in this game On the front line, do you think he is more of a threat to the opponent in the forward position?"

The noisy Old Trafford stadium gradually quieted down.Ronaldo got up and stepped back, ready to run for a free throw.His legs were spread apart, his arms were raised, his eyes were fixed on the goal, and his mouth was constantly inhaling and exhaling.This is a habitual posture of his, and it was like this before the set kick was taken.

Van der Sar stared at the ball at his feet, standing in the middle of the goal, with his arms outstretched, tall enough and long enough to cover almost half of the goal.

Since defeating Arsenal on penalties in the semi-finals of the Champions League in the 05-06 season and helping the team reach the Champions League final, Van der Sar's ability to save penalties has improved significantly.

and……

"It seems that Ronaldo will personally take the penalty kick he created. In the Champions League semi-final penalty shootout against Chelsea, he missed a penalty kick. I wonder if he will have a chance to wash away his shame this time?"

Cristiano Ronaldo had just missed a penalty in an important game and the team was eliminated.Now his mood should still be in a big fluctuation.He now takes the penalty himself, just hoping to get rid of the shadow of not scoring a penalty kick.But... haste makes waste, the more you think about it, the worse it will be.

So although the Forest team was sentenced to death in this game, the situation may not be really that bad.

When Van der Sar opened his arms in front of the door, Tang En's violent heart calmed down a little.

Except for Van der Sar and Ronaldo, everyone else exited the penalty area.

The referee signaled with a whistle that Ronaldo could kick.

He took a deep breath and started to run, while Van der Sar quickly judged the direction.

Ronaldo, who was running up, stopped and kicked and shot!

Van der Sar made a save!
The football bounced off Van der Sar's arm.But neither the commentator nor the Nottingham Forest fans came to remember to cheer, because the danger has not been lifted at all!
The ball that Van der Sar threw just bounced back in front of the annoyed Ronaldo...

Am I going to miss a penalty?
Ronaldo was annoyed when he saw the football bounced back.

He was stunned for less than a second, and looked up to see Van der Sar was still flying in the air, looking at him with despair.

He smiled.

Lift your foot and flick...

"GOOOOAL!! Manchester United lead! In the opening 21 minutes, Manchester United took the lead at their home court! Ahhhh... But we are not surprised by this score at all. Judging from the two 10 minutes of the game, Manchester United took the lead. It's a matter of course! Nottingham Forest has no chance at all, they can only be beaten passively! Maybe Tony Twain will have something to say about this penalty kick, but he can't deny the score!"

Shocking cheers rang out from the stands at Old Trafford.The commentator's words might make Dunn fly into a rage again.But after calming down, he had to admit that what the other party said was right. Nottingham Forest didn't take advantage of it in the past 10 minutes. Not to mention the situation, they didn't play their own good style.In this way, how could it be possible to expect an away victory over Manchester United?
With his back to the pitch now, hearing the cheers from all around him, he knew United were ahead.He didn't turn around, but continued to face the coach's bench.Both Don and Chris Rack could see his face getting darker.

He pressed his hands on the railing of the coach's bench, clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white.With a ferocious face, he gritted his teeth, and let out a beast-like growl from his throat, rumbling like thunder from afar.
