In the 35th minute, Fletcher's midfield pass was intercepted by Whitehead.
The latter didn't even look at it and just lobbed it forward.
Ken Wayne·Jones rushed out of the crowd like an angry bull, and in a few steps he was able to throw away the chasing Smalling.
"Stoke City's counterattack! Jones struck alone!" Rob Hawthorn's voice suddenly became tense.
Old Trafford There was a sudden gasp, and 70,000 people held their breath at the same time.
Jones strode into the penalty area, Kuszczak abandoned the goal and attacked.
Just when Jones was about to take off, Evra chased back from the left like a red lightning bolt and poked the ball away with a clean sliding tackle.
The ball rolled towards the sideline. Evra jumped up and got the ball before Tuncay.
Without looking up, he swung his left foot and fired a long pass that was over fifty meters away.
The ball drew an exaggerated arc in the air and flew towards the left side of the Stoke City half.
Zhang Kuang has been started.
"Here it comes! Manchester United's counterattack! Zhang Kuang starts!" Martin·Tyler's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
Zhang Kuang started sprinting near the center circle.
He Wei: "This is Premier League. The transition between offense and defense is too fast. One second it was Stoke City who was attacking, and the next second it was Manchester United who was counterattacking."
Xu Yang: "Haha, yes, otherwise Premier League is the first league."
Zhang Kuang's first kick on the ground threw Wilkinson away.
The latter reached out to pull his jersey, and his fingers rubbed the edge of the fabric and slid over it. It was too slippery.
Zhang Kuang's speed made the red jersey look like a flowing flame.
The ball bounced when it hit the ground and landed right on the running path of Zhang Kuang.
He did not slow down after stopping the ball with his chest, and took advantage of the situation and rushed into the left side of the penalty area with the ball.
Huth came in diagonally from the right to block the inside route, and Wilkinson chased back from behind.
Zhang Kuang made a fake move inside, and Huth's center of gravity was deflected.
But Zhang Kuang's right foot just feinted, and then he dunked with his left foot, and the ball passed between Huth's legs.
"Put your crotch through! Zhang Kuang penetrated Huth's little door!" Martin·Tyler's voice was broken.
Huth's center of gravity shifted to the left and he stumbled, almost falling.
Zhang Kuang flashed from his side into the top of the arc, and Shawcross flew from the front to block the shooting angle.
Zhang Kuang glanced up: Begović's position is slightly to the right, in the upper right corner of the defense.
Zhang Kuang kicked the ground hard with his left foot, leaned back slightly, and swung his right foot out like a whip, hitting the middle and lower part of the ball hard.
The ball carried a sharp internal spin, drew a slightly upward trajectory, and went straight to the top of the goal.
Begović flew toward the upper right corner and misjudged the direction.
The ball whizzed past his back and hit the net.
2:0
"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Zhang Kuang! World wave! One person destroys a line of defense!" Martin·Tyler shouted until his throat split, "Running fifty meters! Passing through the crotch!"
A heavy cannon from the top of the penalty area! What kind of personal performance is this?! Premier League is one of the best goals this season!"
He Wei: "I know how to draw an eagle bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot at Sirius. I ride alone, run for fifty meters, and play with the defender lightly. I move like a dragon with my feet. I adjust my steps and suddenly exert my force, and hit a heavy cannon into the blind corner. I have traveled three thousand miles, and my sword has served as a million divisions. This is the perfect goal for the iron-blooded Hero!"
Xu Yang:"..."
Zhang Kuang rushed in front of Stretford End, opened his hands and looked up to the sky and roared.
The cheers of 70,000 people were suppressed like a tsunami hitting the rocks, and red foam surged under the light.
His chest rose and fell greatly, and his breath contained the white mist condensed in the winter night, but the curve of his mouth was brighter than the lights of Old Trafford.
Rooney was the first to rush over and hug him. "You're wearing your fucking crotch again! You're wearing your crotch again! Huth's face is turning green!"
Berbatov slowly walked over and patted his head. "Your thighs smell so good, Manchester United is really a treasure."
Zhang Kuang gasped and laughed, "Manchester United found a treasure, don't you also benefit?"
Berbatov:"Hey!"
Ferguson finally didn't hold back this time. He stood up from the chair and clapped twice, unable to hide the smile on his lips. The assistant teacher next to him saw the old man turning around and saying something, and his mouth seemed to be saying "this stinky boy".
Pulis stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, staring at the court expressionlessly.
Before the game, he deployed three people to double-team Zhang Kuang, but one person overwhelmed the entire defense line.
He turned to the assistant and whispered something, and the assistant nodded and made a note in his notebook.
Next, Zhang Kuang was restricted even more. However, it was 2:0 at halftime. Zhang Kuang didn't have to use violence to break through. Wouldn't it be nice to save some energy to replenish qi and blood at night?
The three new girls who just joined us are so delicious.
At halftime, Manchester United led 2 to 0.
Ferguson didn't say much nonsense in the locker room, and focused on two things. "First, they will definitely press forward in the second half, and there will be more room for counterattack. Second, keep an eye on the set pieces, and don't let them score headers."
Then he glanced at Hernández sitting in the corner. "Javier, get ready for the second half."
Hernández raised his head suddenly, all his white teeth exposed.
At the beginning of the second half, Stoke City kicked off the ball as expected.
In the 47th minute, Huth made a long pass from the backcourt, Tuncay headed the ball in the penalty area, and Kuszczak easily confiscated it.
In the 50th minute, Stoke City Tuncay passed the ball from the left and accurately found Whitehead at the back of the penalty area. The latter was completely unmarked.
Vidić was pulled to the front by Jones, and Smalling missed the gap behind him.
Whitehead easily headed the ball into the lower right corner, but Kuszczak failed to save.
2:1.
"GOOOOOOOAL, 2 to 1! Stoke City pulled back the victory!" Martin·Tyler said, "There was a communication error in the Manchester United defense line, and someone was missed between Smalling and Vidić."
Ferguson chewed gum so hard on the sidelines that his face turned black.
He yelled something to Vidić on the field, and judging by his mouth shape, it was not a good word.
Zhang Kuang stood on the left wing with his arms akimbo, looking at the ball in the goal, and gritted his teeth.
He shouted to Rooney, "It's okay, let's get another one in."
In the 56th minute, Evra passed the ball to Gibson from the left, and Gibson pushed forward to Berbatov.
Berba caught the ball at the top of the penalty area and took a long shot. The ball bounced on the leg of Wilson.
Before it hit the ground, a red figure burst out from the crowd and hit the bouncing ball with a top shot.
Zhang Kuang.
He started from outside the penalty area and shot out from behind the defender like an unloaded cannonball. His whole body was almost horizontal in the air, and his forehead hit the ball accurately. The ball changed direction and grazed the lower edge of the crossbar and hit the goal.
3:1.
"The ball went in, went in, went in, 3 to 1! Haha, Zhang Kuang headed the header! Scored twice!" He Wei shouted, "Berbatov was still outside the penalty area when he hit the goal. He saw the ball bounce and rushed in at full speed. The defender couldn't react at all! This sense of movement is too scary!"
Xu Yang: "Hidden in the shadows and making no sound, he circled the enemy camp like a thunderous dragon. He leaped into the air with a flying head and broke the air with his head to determine the outcome. This goal was a beautiful goal!!"
He Wei:"???????"
Stealing my limelight?
Zhang Kuang got up from the ground, with grass clippings on his face, grinning and ran towards the corner flag area.
Rooney rushed over and rubbed his head hard. "You fucking scored again! I haven't scored a goal today!"
Zhang Kuang patted the grass clippings from his face. "I'll give you an assist later?"
Rooney bared his teeth in amusement and slapped him hard on the back.
"Okay, wait."
In the 58th minute, Ferguson made a double substitution:
Gibson is down, Carrick is up, to strengthen the midfield interception; Berbatov is down, Hernández is up, let Berbatov retain some strength, there are many games to come, the league and UEFA Champions League are more games.
The moment Hernández stepped onto the Old Trafford turf, the 70,000 fans in the audience burst into applause and cheers like a tsunami.
The banner "Chicharito Welcome to Theatre of Dreams" was particularly eye-catching under the light. The Mexico boy took a deep breath and turned red.
He passed by Rooney and high-fived Rooney, and Rooney gave him a few words of encouragement.
He walked up to Zhang Kuang again, and Zhang Kuang patted him on the back. "Relax, just play according to training. Move smarter, and I will find you."
Hernández nodded vigorously. "Okay."
In the 62nd minute, Zhang Kuang held the ball in the left rib, and Wilkinson and Delap came up again.
This time Zhang Kuang didn't force the ball. He swung his left foot out of the way and sent a precise diagonal kick with his right foot. The ball passed through the gap between Huth and Shawcross and rolled towards the center of the penalty area.
Hernández came out diagonally from behind the defender, and the moment he received the ball, he had already formed a single shot.
He calmly kicked away the defending Collins with his left foot, and took out a curve ball with his right foot. The ball bypassed Begović's fingertips and penetrated into the net against the far post.
4:1
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Hernández! Scored a goal in his first show!" Martin·Tyler shouted excitedly, "Zhang Kuang's The diagonal plug was as precise as measuring it with a ruler, and Hernández's movement and shooting were so calm that he didn't look like a rookie making his debut! Mexico youngster started Manchester United's career in the most perfect way!"
Hernández was stunned for a moment after scoring the goal, and then ran towards the sideline with open arms, with uncontrollable ecstasy on his face.
After running for two steps, he suddenly turned back, rushed towards Zhang Kuang, picked him up on his back, and ran half a circle around the corner flag area.
Zhang Kuang laughed loudly on his back and patted his shoulder, "Put me down! Put me down! Can you carry me!"
Hernández shouted while running, "I can carry it! You are so light!"
Everyone on the bench stood up and applauded, Ferguson clapped his hands with a smile, and the rhythm of chewing gum slowed down.
All the fans sang the name Hernández in unison, and the Mexico flag flew over Stretford End.
In the 66th minute, Hernández turned around and shot in the penalty area but was blocked by Huth. Zhang Kuang and Rooney shot consecutively and were blocked by the defender. This goal was really strange. Manchester United's three forwards took turns and failed to score. Stoke City's goal suddenly became very tight.
In the 70th minute, Rooney played the ball with his right heel, Rafael made a pass, and Hernández shot a 12-yard shot over the crossbar.
In the 81st minute, Rooney missed the goal again!
Rafael made a pass from the right, Rooney 12 yards ejected from the outside of the instep of his left foot, and the ball missed the post.
He squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. Zhang Kuang ran over and pulled him up. "Don't worry, there is still a chance."
In the 87th minute, Zhang Kuang was roaming on the left, and Stoke City passed the ball to Rooney while grabbing the ball near the center circle.
After Rooney got the ball, he took two steps forward and looked up at the penalty area. Hernández was cutting forward, and Zhang Kuang was also cutting diagonally towards the goal from the left.
Rooney made a powerful pass towards the penalty area, and the ball flew to the front of the small penalty area with strong rotation.
Hernández stretched out his foot to kick, but missed.
The ball flew over his toes and back.
Zhang Kuang rushed over.
Stoke City As soon as the two defenders Wilkinson and Collins saw that they were too late, they reached out and pushed him at the same time. Zhang Kuang threw himself forward when he lost his balance. Seeing that the ball was about to miss him, he suddenly arched his hips at the limit and sent his body forward.
Then, a magical scene happened.
His "little Zhang Kuang" suddenly bounced and hit the ball.
The ball bounced and changed direction, and slowly rolled across the goal line before Begović could react.
5:1.
The whole place was quiet for a second.
Then Old Trafford exploded, and the screams boiled over.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL? This is a magical goal," Martin·Tyler's voice was surprised and laughing, "Zhang Kuang used... well, used 'little Zhang Kuang' to bounce the ball in! Oh my god, I am commentating on Premier League. This is the first time in so many years that I have seen such a goal!"
Rob Hawthorn was laughing so hard that he could not speak for a long time. It took him a long time to say, "This goal... this goal will definitely make the headlines."
Martin: "It's so powerful. No wonder I heard that Chinese Zhang can attack four women in one night and eject with just this move. Who can do it? Who can withstand it?"
Rob: "Awesome, awesome. As a man, I am convinced. Really, I have never seen such a powerful person..."
He Wei: "Ah, this ball, this, crashed in. Stoke City's defender committed a foul and pushed Zhang Kuang, and then Zhang Kuang knocked the ball into the goal."
Xu Yang: "Ah, yes, it hit the goal."
Although the two of them explained it like this, they could hardly hold back their laughter.
Zhang Kuang got up from the ground, looked down at himself, and then at the ball that was still rolling in the goal. Then he grinned - there was embarrassment, pride in that smile, and the open-mindedness of "whatever, I'll score anyway."
He ran to the corner flag area with his belly puffed out to celebrate. Rooney was already squatting on the ground laughing, and Berbatov jumped up from the bench with his hands on his head, his expression looked like he had seen a ghost.
Hernández ran over, his expression changed from shock to laughter. He hugged Zhang Kuang and asked softly, "Doesn't it hurt?"
Zhang Kuang said seriously, "How could it hurt? I know China Kung Fu."
Hernández was stunned. "Can you teach me this?"
Zhang Kuang: "You can't teach it. You have to practice it since childhood. You missed it."
Ferguson was covering his face and laughing on the coaching bench, his shoulders shaking.
The assistant teachers next to him all covered their mouths and laughed.
Pulis stood on the sidelines and stared at the court with his hands on his hips, his expression as complex as if he had eaten half a fly, and he couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
On Stretford End, a group of Manchester United fans raised a makeshift slogan. "Zhang Kuang's little Zhang Kuang--Manchester United's secret weapon!"
The camera panned to the bench. Carrick laughed so much that he almost slid off the chair. Anderson collapsed on the seat holding his belly and took photos of his thighs.
In the 94th minute, the score was locked at 5-1.
In stoppage time, Stoke City launched two shots in a row, one missed and the other hit high, but failed to threaten Manchester United's goal.
The final whistle sounded, Manchester United defeated Stoke City 5-1 at home.
Zhang Kuang scored three goals and one assist, and was undoubtedly the best player in the game.
When he left the field, he was surrounded by his teammates and walked towards the tunnel. His teammates were asking Zhang Kuang how he scored the goal and if he could teach them.
Zhang Kuang rolled his eyes at them. "You can't practice this. You need to practice this from a young age. First, rush towards the ground, and then lift it up with a bucket..."
"Xie Te, is it true or false?"
Zhang Kuang:"Of course it's true."
"..."
In the mixed interview area after the game, reporters surrounded Zhang Kuang.
"Zhang, can you explain your last goal...?"
Zhang Kuang looked at the camera with a serious face. "The rules of football are very clear. As long as you don't use your hands, any part of the body can score a goal. I use part of my body to score a goal. What's so strange about that?"
The reporter next to him suppressed laughter until his face turned red. "So you are deliberately controlling it?"
Zhang Kuang said without changing his expression, "This is a secret, we can't tell it."
Rooney behind him suddenly turned his head to the camera and revealed his background. "This is China Kung Fu, he has practiced it since he was a child!"
Zhang Kuang pushed his face away. "Wayne, don't reveal my secret."
Rooney laughed and ran away.
The reporters all laughed like crazy.
"The Sun" headlined the next day's front page: "Zhang Kuang's "little Zhang Kuang" is extremely powerful - Manchester United 5 vs. 1 Stoke City, the new player scored on his debut, and Zhang Kuang scored the most "painful" goal in the history of Premier League."
The title of "The Guardian" is more serious but still contains a smile, "Zhang Kuang dominates Theatre of Dreams with three goals and one assist, and Manchester United's fifth goal sparks heated discussion across the Internet."
Fans of Manchester United have put the words "little Zhang Kuang" on the trending searches on social media.
Someone posted a picture - Zhang Kuang's jersey number was followed by a bracket: (and he has the strongest little Zhang Kuang in the world).
The news of Hernández's debut goal was suppressed on the fifth page, but he didn't care at all. After the game, he sent a message to Twitter: "Today's idol is @Zhang Kuang. I just want to ask: Does it hurt?"
Then it aroused heated discussions among many fans, especially many female fans who went crazy. They left various private messages on Zhang Kuang's social account, wanting to try out Zhang Kuang's little Zhang Kuang style.
Are you kidding me? Zhang Kuang is not a garbage toll station. It does not collect everything.
Although the media once exposed a photo of more than 20 women on his 18th birthday, the news quickly disappeared and the photo cannot be found.
After that, "The Sun" racked his brains but could not take any sexy photos of Zhang Kuang, and even secretly installed a bug in his room to no avail.
But everyone knows that Zhang Kuang's private life should be quite exciting and enviable to men.
However, at this moment, he received a call from his agent, telling him that Manchester United had received offers from multiple clubs.
Manchester City even quoted a sky-high price of 100 million pounds, Chelsea 90 million + floating terms, Real Madrid gave the highest price in football of 120 million euros...
