Chapter 392: Decide with a free kick

After the game started, the two sides were hard to tell, and by the end of the first half, neither side scored any goals.

The score is 0:0.

Only looking at the performance and scores in the first half, Manchester City is in poor form, and the possibility of losing to Tottenham Hotspur is getting greater and greater.

But in the second half, Manchester City scored the first goal.

In the 56th minute, David Silva, who returned from injury, announced his return with a scrutiny shot outside the penalty area, helping Manchester City lead 1:0.

Just three minutes after David Silva scored, Manchester City's central defender Godin expanded the score for Manchester City in a corner!

When Godin scored, huge cheers rang out throughout Manchester City Stadium.

"Goding! Manchester City is 2:0! Uruguay's central defender has relieved all Manchester City supporters!" John Motterson shouted.

"Although the offensive trident is still silent, at least the other players performed well..."

As soon as Alan Hansen finished speaking, Tottenham scored a goal over there!

One minute after Manchester City scored, Tottenham Hotspur's forward Defoe scored a goal for the team! And the one who assisted him was Gareth Bale!

"Tottenham Hotspur! Oh oh, they scored a goal! The suspense is back!" John Motson was very excited. He didn't want Manchester City to lose, but he wanted to see every game fierce competition, suspense, and suspense lasted until the end.

Such a competition is interesting to him as a commentator.

Tottenham Hotspur scored a goal, which greatly boosted the morale of Tottenham Hotspur. In the next period of time, they bombed the goal around Manchester City and were not worried that Manchester City would take the opportunity to counterattack.

Finally, in the 64th minute, they received a free kick about twenty-three meters away from the goal.

From the distance, it's very suitable.

Bale stood in front of the football, he set the football up, got up and retreated, and pulled out the distance to run.

When the referee blew the whistle, he started and kicked towards football.

After the football drew an arc in the air, it bypassed the human wall and flew directly to the far corner of the player!

Although Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart tried his best to save, he saved it when he saw the football go around the wall. It was too late...

He could only watch the football fly into the goal!

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Amid his clamor, Bale made a "heart" gesture on his chest with both hands, ran to the corner flag area, and celebrated the goal with Tottenham Hotspur fans who came with the team.

And his teammates flocked to him and hugged him.

"Manchester City was tied again! Their two goals lead lasted only five minutes! It's really weird! Can't Manchester City just win the game now?!"

"It seems that not only the team is tired and in poor condition, but now even luck is not on their side... Did the league record run out of all their tone?"

※※※

While Tottenham Hotspur was celebrating wildly, Manchester City players seemed a little depressed and confused.

It was difficult for them to accept this reality for a moment - when we were leading two goals, the opponent equalized the score in five minutes! What's the matter!

Could it be... the goddess of luck is really far away from us?

This reality is really disheartening.

When the game started again, Tottenham Hotspur, who had just tied the score, wanted to score another goal and completely win the game.

And what about Manchester City? They continued to fight back with their defensive attacks.

During this period, Manchester City's goal was full of dangers. If goalkeeper Joe Hart and the defensive players had not performed well, they would have been afraid that they would have conceded the ball.

But not conceding a goal does not satisfy Manchester City.

Although even if this game ends up with 2:2, it will not end Manchester City's unbeaten league record.

But now Manchester City cannot satisfy them by relying on records.

All the games will be tied in the next game, and their unbeaten record in the league will not be lost. But this will not help Manchester City win the championship.

?We still want to win.

When the game entered the last ten minutes, the score was still 2:2.

Manchester City began to counterattack and wanted to score.

Tottenham Hotspur instead launched a defensive counterattack.

They have two extremely fast wingers, Bale and Lennon, and it is also appropriate to play defensively and counterattack.

※※※

The match passed minute by minute, and the two sides were still difficult to distinguish.

The score of 2:2 has never changed since sixty-five minutes.

It seems that Manchester City can get a draw.

But if they really get a draw, they will definitely become the target of everyone's ridicule and attack on the next day.

In this case, Manchester City must win, and the draw means failure for them!

In the 89th minute, Kaka dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough into the penalty area, but he was tripped by Tottenham Hotspur's defender and fell into the penalty area.

At that time, there was a burst of Manchester City fans' exclamation in the stands: "Punishment!!"

If it's a penalty at this time, it's like a decisive defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

But the referee's penalty was determined to be different from what Tottenham fans expected, and he gave a free kick!

A free kick on the penalty area line!

Manchester City fans in the stands booed.

The Tottenham Hotspur fans and players felt like they were escaping from death, so that the Tottenham Hotspur players did not argue with the referee and went back to shoot the wall.

If it wasn't for a penalty kick, they felt that Manchester City's attack was no threat.

Manchester City players were very dissatisfied, thinking that this should be a penalty kick.

Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands booed, ridiculing Kaka for being a fake fall.

As the captain, Rongguang did not participate in the besieging the referee. Instead, he pulled his teammates away one by one: "Don't waste time, we don't have much time!"

Then, he placed the football and waited for a free kick.

Tottenham Hotspur players were slowing down when they were placing the walls. Almost all tall men came to placing the walls. They also secretly rubbed forward to narrow the distance between the walls and the football.

Rong Guang turned a blind eye to these things, as if he had never seen them at all. He let the Tottenham Hotspur players do such small moves.

Gareth Bale and Lennon did not enter the wall, although Bell was not short. He and Lennon chose to stay ahead and wait for a chance to fight back.

For Tottenham Hotspur, this may be their chance to score.

As long as Glory's free kick hits the wall and pops up, it may fall at their feet, and then it will run wildly, counterattack and score, and defeat Manchester City!

So Bell did not go to arrange the wall, but stood behind Glory and looked at him.

※※※

The wall was rubbed for almost a minute and finally arranged. Although the referee asked the wall to retreat, when he left, the wall came up again.

The distance from the goal on the penalty area line is about 18 meters. This distance is not a very suitable distance for a free kick. Because the distance is too short, if you want the football to go around the wall, then the football bypasses the wall and flies directly out of the crossbar. It is impossible to complete the arc and fall into the goal.

Therefore, in such a close-range free kick, most of the free throwers will use the strategy of volleying forcefully, breaking through the wall, or drilling through the wall.

Tottenham Hotspur's wall was prepared for this. They were crowded and leaned very closely. In addition, they were reminding each other that they would never jump.

This is also the reason why they called all the tall players of the team to mount the wall - if the players are tall enough, they can try to seal the space above without taking off.

Rongguang stood in front of the football, put his hands on his hips, observed the wall outside, and then took a step back.

The referee whistle sounded, Rong Guang assisted, and then kicked the football with his right foot!

Is this going to volley vigorously?!

For a long time, Rong Guang's free kick gave people the impression that his left foot was a curved ball, while his right foot was an elevator ball.

The free kick with the right foot is even more powerful, so when Rong Guang swung his right foot, everyone thought he would shoot vigorously.

But from the perspective of Rongguang running, it is not easy for him to play that kind of powerful free kick in such a run. If he really wants to shoot vigorously, his running distance should be at least farther, and it is directly behind the football, rather than forming an angle of about forty-five degrees with the football as it is now...

I saw Rong Guang hit the football with his right foot, but it was not a volley from the instep, but a rumble from the front part of the inside of the foot!

Tottenham Hotspur's wall did not jump up, nor dodge it on both sides, but stood there. At most, someone tiptoed to the top, tried his best to stretch his neck and tilt his head, hoping to use such movements to expand the defense area.

But the football did not cross over their heads, nor did it pass under their feet.

The football kicked out by glory flew low on the grass, drew an arc and went directly around the human wall from the right!

The football flew over from the feet of a Tottenham Hotspur player outside the human wall, circled behind the human wall, and rushed straight to the goal!

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Friedel was at the center of the wall at the beginning. He thought that if Glory wanted to shoot, he would definitely hit the ball from under the wall.

Unexpectedly, when he saw the football coming from outside the human wall, he was stunned.

Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, and he immediately rushed out and rushed towards the football.

But when the football was about to reach his front, it suddenly fell to the ground and rebounded!

After the football rebounded, it accelerated and flew into the goal. At this time, Friedel's hand had just hit...

The ball has entered!

The Tottenham Hotspur players who turned around in the wall turned around and saw this scene, they were all stunned.

This ball...
Chapter completed!
