Chapter 82 Ronaldo is very active

The game lasted for fifteen minutes, and Manchester United had an absolute advantage on the field. Without a goal, they were just a little less lucky.

Don En didn't expect that his team would be so embarrassed at Old Trafford, and he was a little annoyed.

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

But how to defend against Ronaldo in good condition...

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

George Wood found that Ronaldo was more difficult to defend this season than in previous seasons. It was not that Ronaldo's foot skills were much more fancy. On the contrary, the Portuguese's feet were more practical, not only dribbling, but also knows when to pass the ball and when to shoot. The diversification of offensive methods made it more difficult for him to guard against.

George Wood saw him driving the ball up, looked around, determined the positions of the team and the opponent's players, and went up. Although Don Eun did not ask him to specifically guard Ronaldo, the opponent has now arrived in his own defense zone. If he doesn't go up to defend, would he still hide?

He went up to intercept Ronaldo head-on, but Ronaldo passed the ball and was unwilling to get involved with George Wood.

Ronaldo, who was running without the ball, bypassed Wood and received the ball from his teammates again, successfully squeezed Wood behind him. Now it is a dangerous area, and Liang Wood dares not easily make a foul.

Wood really dared not make a foul easily. He wanted to poke the ball in the back, but Ronaldo also did a good job of protecting the ball while dribbling the ball. He couldn't find the right time to step down. After a little hesitation, Ronaldo had found the right opportunity to enter the penalty area.

Now, I don’t dare to commit a foul.

Pepe plans to cut off Ronaldo's earth while he had just entered the penalty area and was still firmly in his foot. Unexpectedly, in the narrow space, Ronaldo still controls the football at his feet. No matter how many people want to cut off his ball, they just can't cut it! And because it is in the penalty area, the defending players must be careful and the stealing force is not enough. It is not so easy to successfully intercept the ball.

Ronaldo took a quick look and suddenly shot in the crowd. Although he was not strong enough, his angle was tricky enough.

Van der Sar was blocked by the crowd, and despite this, he tried hard to save the football, using his fingertips!

"woooooow - Cristiano Ronaldo's condition looks very good today! A man attracted all the defensive power of Nottingham Forest in the penalty area, he can still shoot at the goal and shoot at such a quality. If Van der Sar hadn't performed bravely, Manchester United should have taken the lead 1:0 at this time!"

Ronaldo held his head high and squeezed into the crowd, ready to score a goal during the corner kick. His height of 1.89 meters is not inferior to those center backs, and his outstanding bounce ability is indeed a threat to the Forest in front of the goal.

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

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

The Portuguese looked at Wood opposite him, but did not push him, and the two of them looked face to face. Such a "friendly" corner kick defense. It seemed a bit inexplicable to others.

But when the ball was opened, Wood and Ronaldo got the game almost at the same time. Wood wanted to hold Ronaldo away, while Ronaldo wanted to push Wood away.

The two of them jumped up in a tangled way and found that they were working hard. Manchester United didn't drive the corner kick well enough, and they went out of the baseline directly in the air...

Ronaldo's great activity made the Forest team quite nervous. After that, as soon as he got the ball, at least three people would surround him. He would not let him break through easily. Anyway, the Forest team's middle is a densely populated place, so it is normal for three people to siege him. As one of the current popular attacking players, he deserves this treatment.

The players of the Forest team went to defend Ronaldo, but gradually ignored one person.

When Ronaldo was once again surrounded by Forests, he did not choose to break through individually or shoot at the goal this time, and he divided the football to the left.

Wayne Rooney received his pass.

Now there is only one Rafinia in front of Rooney.

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

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

Facing the strong attack and weak defense, Rooney was not polite to him.  A feint to shake him to the unstable center of gravity, he accelerated his breakthrough.   Rafinia's reaction was also fast. Seeing that Rooney had to pass by him, he immediately turned around and put the shovel. Even if it was a foul, it would be better than allowing him to break through easily.

The English boy seemed to have eyes behind his back. When Rafinia reached her foot, she jumped up. Rafinia did not tackle the ball, but just hooked Rooney.

Rooney staggered, but he quickly adjusted his skills based on his outstanding physical fitness and stumbled to catch up with the football. Pepe had already come from the penalty area. At the same time, Beckham also rushed from the middle to assist in defense.

Just as Rooney was about to be forced into a dead end, he suddenly swept the football to the middle.

At this moment, Ronaldo, Scholes and Hargreaves are all in the penalty area. There are also Pique, Bale, Wood and Rafinia who just ran back in the Nottingham Forest.

With Rooney's passing, there was a mess in front of the goal.

Ronaldo was going to rush forward to grab the spot, but suddenly felt someone's hand grabbing his shoulder and using force. He was shocked and fell down immediately.

When he fell down, Teronaldo also knocked over Pique in front of him.

For a moment, people in the penalty area were overturned, but the football was passing by in chaos, and no one encountered it!

Manchester United fans were excited because they saw Ronaldo falling to the ground and heard the referee's whistle sound.

The referee on duty ran into the penalty area. Point to...the penalty spot!

When Tang En saw this scene, he was furious off the court. "This is obviously a fake fall! The referee was blind!"

Ferguson next door stood on the sidelines and smiled and applauded. He didn't care whether this was a fake fall. As long as the referee judged Nottingham Forest foul, it would be Nottingham Forest foul.

Huge cheers sounded in the stands at Old Trafford Stadium, covering the booing of Nottingham Forest fans. At this moment, the home advantage was fully demonstrated.

On the court, amid the overwhelming cheers of Manchester United fans. Nottingham Forest players are arguing with the referee. Bale clasped his hands and kept explaining to the referee that he did not push people, that was just a normal physical contact, and his strength was not enough to push Ronaldo down.

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

Tony Donn, who was so angry, pointed at the group of hugging to celebrate Manchester United players on the sidelines and roared: "Scammer! Ronaldo, you are an absolute liar!"

Ronaldo has long been famous for his multiple fake falls, but Tang En cursed so blatantly on other people's territory, so he really ignored anything.

Ferguson heard his shouting. He frowned slightly. The fourth official was attracted by his shouting.

"Mr. Tony Done, please calm down. I warn you not to be punished to the stands for this."

Of course, Tang En knew that the other party was not joking, so he curled his lips and stopped yelling. He just turned around and faced the coach's seat. He turned his back to the stadium and didn't want to watch the carnival belonging to Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo was surrounded by his teammates, and there were excited roars around him. He didn't know what Done shouted on the sidelines. But it didn't matter. After the game, someone would naturally tell him what happened on the sidelines, and then the media could sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight again.

The players of Nottingham Forest protests were invalid, and the penalty was impossible to change. They could only accept this result helplessly, but when several people left the penalty area, they still turned their resentment to Ronaldo, who was holding the football to go to the penalty.

Among them, Gareth Bell, the "perpetrator", almost nailed his eyes to the other party.

Ronaldo had no time to care whether others' eyes were friendly. He walked to the penalty spot with the football in his arms. Then he put the football firmly on it.

"Ronaldo has scored 30 goals in the league and is currently ranked first in the scorer list, but obviously he doesn't want to end his goal frenzy. If he can help Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest and finally win the league championship trophy, then he must be the best player of the season, which is undoubtedly. As a midfielder, his total goals in a single season have reached 40, which is an amazing result! Ferguson puts him on the front line in this game. Do you think he has a greater threat to his opponent in the forward position?"

The noisy Old Trafford Stadium gradually became quiet. Ronaldo got up and retreated. He prepared to run and assist the free throw. He spread his legs and raised his arms. He stared at the goal and kept inhaling and exhaling in his mouth. This was his habitual posture, and he had been taking the set-piece before taking the penalty kick.

Van der Sar stared at the ball under his feet, stood in the center of the goal, spreading his arms, tall enough to allow him to cover almost half of the goal.

Since defeating Arsenal in the semi-finals of the 2005-06 Champions League, helping the team to reach the Champions League final, Van der Sar's ability to save penalty kicks has improved significantly.

and……

"It seems that Ronaldo is going to personally punish him for a penalty kick. In the semi-final penalty kick with Chelsea, he lost a penalty kick. I wonder if he has a chance to wash away the shame this time?"

Cristiano Ronaldo just lost a penalty in an important game, and the team was eliminated. Now his mood should still be in a big fluctuation. He is now in the hope of getting rid of the shadow of not being able to score a penalty. But... hasteness is not enough, and the more he thinks about it, the less he is.

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

As 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 used a whistle to signal that Ronaldo could kick.

He took a deep breath and started running, while Van der Sar was quickly judging the direction.

Ronaldo, who was running up, stopped and shot!

Van der Sar saved!

The football hit Van der Sar's arm and bounced back. But the commentator and Nottingham Forest fans have not come to remember to cheer, because the danger has not been lifted at all!

The ball saved by Van der Sar happened to bounce back in front of Ronaldo who was frustrated...

Do I still want to miss the penalty kick?

Ronaldo was just frustrated when he saw the football bounce back.

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

He smiled.

Raise your foot and bounce it...

"gooooal!! Manchester United leads! At the beginning of the game, Manchester United took the lead at their home court! Ahhhh... But we were not surprised by the score at all. Judging from the 20 minutes of the game, it was natural for Manchester United to take the lead! Nottingham Forest has no chance at all, they can only be beaten passively! Perhaps Tony Donne has something to say about this penalty, but he can't recognize the score!"

A shocking cheer sounded in the stands of Old Trafford Stadium. The commentator's words might make Don Eddie furious again. But after calming down, he had to admit that the opponent was right. Nottingham Forest did not take advantage of the situation at all. Not to mention the scene, even the style they are good at was not played out. In this way, how could it be expected to defeat Manchester United away?

Now he turned his back to the stadium, heard cheers coming from all around, and knew that Manchester United was leading. He did not turn around, but continued to face the coach's seat. Don and Chris Lack could see his face getting darker and darker.
Chapter completed!
