Chapter 530 Do Something That Surprises Ferguson

"Raul seemed to make a lot of breakthroughs on the left side in the second half, but Firmino didn't show much." Zhan Jun commented on this: "In fact, even in his peak period, Raul's ability to make breakthroughs on the side is not very strong."

"That's right. Raul's breakthroughs appeared more often in the penalty area, and he found space to shoot in a small area." Zhang Lu also nodded in agreement, "Later in the Galaxy Fleet period, Raul was pushed to the left winger or even the left midfielder, but It is not responsible for breaking through the cross, but more about connecting the frontcourt."

Ferguson on the sidelines seems to have noticed something. He saw Sun Wu, Rakitic and even Firmino, who was inward, kept looking for opportunities from the middle. Park Ji-sung's frontal defense ability is relatively weak.

Ferguson turned his head to look at the warming up substitute players, was it Anderson or Scholes?
At this time, the 82nd minute of the audience.

Sun Wu, who has been constantly passing the cross to dispatch the offense, received a cross pass from Rakitic, and faced the pounced Park Ji-sung, he pulled the ball to the right, but immediately turned from the left to shake off the Korean.

"Best breakthrough..." Adam Simpson's eyes widened.

More than a month ago, "Kicker" magazine compiled a list of player data analysis after 80 minutes, and Sun Wu deservedly ranked first.

In the past few years since he landed in the Bundesliga, within 80 minutes of the game, he scored a total of 6 goals, sent 5 assists, and also had 8 indirect assists.

Seeing Sun Wu's successful breakthrough, Manchester United's defense immediately raised its vigilance.

Carrick was the first to pounce, and the distance between him and Park Ji-sung was very reasonable.

Firmino drives forward through the ribs and Ferdinand blocks his way in.

"Pekarik..." Zhan Jun whispered to himself.

Pekarik suddenly started to run down the sidewalk towards the baseline, but Evra had already set his sights on him.

When deploying before the game, Ferguson carefully explained some of Sun Wu's habits... This Chinese player often sends very imaginative and precise passes immediately after breaking through to tear the opponent's defense.

But this time Sun Wu decided to do something that surprised Ferguson.

He didn't pass the ball, and when Carrick was about to pounce, Sun Wu turned his head to look... Carrick immediately came to a sudden stop as if Sun Wu had hit an acupoint.

There was the unguarded Rakitic...Although it was a bit far from the goal, the Croatian midfielder had a very good long shot!
At this moment, Sun Wu forcibly accelerated the ball again and passed Carrick... The latter carried it on his shoulders, but he didn't dare to make a move. He had already accumulated two yellow cards, and if he got another one, the next game would be stopped. It's over.

"Best!"

"Best!"

The song "Always Best" gradually sounded in the stands...

Sun Wu's footsteps were a little messy, and Ferdinand chose to go up to grab, and aimed at Sun Wu's feet and the ball beside his feet with a fierce flying shovel...

"Always Best!"

"Always Best!"

"When the score is close, when the situation is unfavorable, he will come forward!"

Sun Wu tiptoed lightly, and the ball flew past Ferdinand's feet...

"boom!"

Ferdinand's flying shovel brought Sun Wu down without any suspense!
But the referee raised his hands flat to signal a favorable principle!

Firmino, who received the ball, lived up to Sun Wu's high expectations this time. He swung his right foot and sent a cross. Cavani ran diagonally and took Vidic away.

The ball just flew over Vidic's head and went straight to the point. Raul, who finally got rid of Fabio, appeared on the penalty spot and flicked the ball with his left foot!
"He always brings victory to Schalke!"

"He is omnipotent in blue and white!"

Thunderous shouts suddenly erupted from the stands!
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"Raul Gonzalez keeps the promotion hopeful for Schalke 04!"

"Excellent teamwork, Sun Wu used his personal ability to open a gap in the middle!"

Van der Sar turned his head speechlessly to look at Fabio with a confused face. This young Brazilian full-back failed to watch the "Lord of the Rings" at the most critical moment, allowing Raul to score easily without defense.

"Let's watch the replay..." Zhan Jun said excitedly: "First, he used the soles of his feet to pull the ball to pass the aggressive Park Ji-sung, and then accelerated to break through Carrick, grabbing the ball before Ferdinand broke it. Called to Firmino..."

"Firmino's cross accurately found Raul!" Zhang Lu was not sure if it was intentional.

But their counterparts in Germany immediately made the judgment closest to the facts, "Best's tactical fine-tuning, Raul's continuous ball breakthrough on the wing attracted Fabio's attention, when Firmino got the pass When the opportunity came, Raúl took a few steps back and ran an arc into the penalty area, Fabio couldn't keep up!"

Raul under the North Stand excitedly jumped on Firmino's back. This season's scoring statistics made him seem to have returned to ten years ago.

A tacit eye contact created a wonderful goal. Such precedents are rare, but not unheard of... A tall, thin, bald head flashed in Raul's mind, and that Frenchman often made such miracles!

Ferguson on the sidelines waved his hands angrily, muttering curses in his mouth, and the biggest weakness of Manchester United's defense was exposed.

Phil Jones on the bench grinned, his face squeezed into embarrassment, and Scholes, who was ready to play, was staring up at the big screen, wondering what he was thinking.

Lannick did not celebrate, but nervously looked at Sun Wu who was still lying on the ground.

"Langus, Langes!" Lannick roared, grabbing the team doctor out of the crowd, "Go and see Best!"

Sun Wu, who was helped to the sidelines, tried to turn his ankle under the guidance of the team doctor, "No problem."

"No, no, no!" Langes shook his head and said, "If you don't feel it now, it doesn't mean you're not injured!"

"but……"

"No, but some players only found out that they had broken bones after playing the game!" Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Langes had to say loudly in Sun Wu's ear: "I don't want you to be the next one!"

Sun Wu glanced at Lannick aggrievedly, I'm really fine...the medical insurance card works great!
But Lannick did not give Sun Wu a chance to distinguish, and immediately replaced him with Jones.

"Sun Wu is off...is he injured?" Zhan Jun was a little nervous.

From time to time, the camera of the live broadcaster scanned the bench of Schalke 04, and gave Sun Wu and Langes a few close-ups.

"It doesn't seem to be." Zhang Lu hesitated: "I didn't put ice on it, and I didn't leave the venue...it shouldn't be a big problem."

While Sun Wu was off the field, Ferguson also made adjustments, replacing Giggs with Anderson and Park Ji-sung with Scholes.

Sun Wu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the bench safely.

"Let me just say, Ferguson won't take any risks if we score 2-1 in the away game." Slomka patted Sun Wu on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we still have a chance!"

The fact is as Slomka said, after Scholes came on the field, he combed the midfield with Carrick, but did not press the attack, and Schalke 04 also recovered the formation after Sun Wu left the field, and the final score was fixed at 2 to 1.

"On the whole, Manchester United made an excellent start. Schalke 04 improved in the second half, but Manchester United still stole a goal and fell behind by two goals."

After the game, Zhan Jun commented: "Sun Wu used his personal ability to indirectly assist Raul to win a victory at the end of the game. Raul has scored 9 goals in the Champions League this season and 22 goals in all competitions."

"There is Sun Wu in the front and Neuer in the back. These are the two most important people for Schalke 04. They have reserved the possibility of promotion for Schalke 04."

"Manchester United's 2-1 away game means that there is a high chance of entering the Champions League final. Although Schalke 04 is at a disadvantage, it is not without hope of a comeback."

"Next, both teams will usher in a heavyweight league match at the weekend."

"Manchester United will play away to Arsenal on April 4, which will be an important game to determine the Premier League title this season."

"On the same day, Schalke 04 will be away at the Allianz Arena against Bayern Munich. For them, they only need one point in the last three league rounds to secure the championship. Rangnick has a choice."

"All in all, the second round is very interesting!"

"Fans and friends, we will see you in the second round on May 5!"
