In the 38th minute, West Ham tried to continue to expand the lead. Gary O'Neal made a pass from the right. Hitzlsperger met the ball 40 yards away from the goal and volleyed!!
The ball flew high over the crossbar and landed in the stands.
The home fans burst into laughter, and some applauded and encouraged.
"A volley shot from forty yards away..." Martin·Tyler said with ridicule in his tone, "Hitzlsperger shot twice today, one went flying and the other also flew away. This kick was quite impressive, but in the wrong direction."
Rob laughed, "If this kind of ball goes in, it will be a world wave, if it doesn't, it will be a clearance. He is not very lucky today."
Unexpectedly, West Ham's attempt to expand its lead turned out to be a joke. How could this work?
In the 41st minute, Vidić pulled down Demba Ba without the ball, and the referee finally took out a yellow card.
The slow motion showed that Vidić's actions were clearly beyond the scope of normal confrontation. The West Ham coaching staff jumped up on the sidelines to protest. They felt that Vidić should have been booked long ago.
Martin joked, "It would be a miracle if Vidić could play into the second half today. He could have been given a foul in at least three or four confrontations. Li·Mason was already tolerant enough.
If there were a stricter referee, Vidić would have been sent off in the first half. Maybe, hey, continue watching the game."
Rob: "Perhaps, this is a series of conspiracy? The referee awarded two points, Manchester United players deliberately handballed, plus Vidić made such an inexplicable intentional foul, all this shows that someone wants Manchester United to lose.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but if Manchester United lost, the suspense of the league championship is still there, and Premier League's interest is still there. In fact, this is not a bad thing, I think Manchester United should lose."
Martin: "Oh, Rob, you will be punished for your remarks. We are just commentators. Don't speculate and judge randomly."
Rob: "Well, I don't want to lose this job, but freedom of speech is also a part of universal values. I just inferred the results of this game and expressed my opinions on the results."
Martin: "Rob, stop talking, I don't want to lose you as my partner. Watch the ball, watch the ball..."
The comment area of MyScore (MyScore transliteration, the largest graphic live broadcast platform on the Internet in 2011, equivalent to the domestic Zhibo8, I post this repeatedly, just because I am afraid that some readers do not know) exploded:
"Fuck, is this true? I feel like what Rob said makes sense. English Football Association really... just for the sake of Premier League's viewing pleasure, he directly suppressed Manchester United to win the championship in advance?"
"Hey, this may be true."
"It's over, Rob is going to lose his job. I heard that Neville has signed a contract with Sky Sports to work as a commentator after he officially retired in February. If Rob does this, won't it speed up Neville's rise to the top?"
"Ah? Is this not a game set by the Football Association for Manchester United, but a game set for Rob? Rob, Rob, you don't even know Do you know how important you are? In order to make you unemployed, Football Association, Sky Sports, Manchester United, West Ham United set up a trap to make you make a mistake and then force you to lose your job!"
"Really? Brother, this game is so big. Is Rob some kind of Holy Body of Destiny? Do you need so many parties to set up the game?"
"I don't know if he is the Holy Body of Destiny, but I know he has a daughter who is pretty good. Maybe someone set up a trap to make him lose his job first, then go bankrupt, and finally have to sell his son and daughter in order to survive... Jie Jie..."
"Fuck, the more you talk about it, the scarier it gets. Is it really such a conspiracy theory?"
"Haha, it was Rob who first mentioned the conspiracy theory, so the conspiracy theory came back to him."
"..."
In the 44th minute, the first half has entered the final stage, but Manchester United's offensive is even more fierce. The result of entering the halftime break with a draw is different from entering the halftime break with a negative goal.
Valencia received the ball from Carrick on the right, passed the ball across and cut inside before making a pass.
The ball flew towards the center of the penalty area. Rooney leaned against Upson's chest to stop the ball, but there was no shooting angle. Da Costa had already blocked it from the side.
Rooney didn't force the goal, he knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area.
Zhang Kuang stood there.
Being guarded by two people.
However, he still swung his body left and right, turning his body into two iron blocks, hitting left and right, knocking away the two defensive players.
Then he caught the ball. It was about 25 meters away from the goal. After knocking away the two defensive players, there were two defenders and goalkeeper Green in front.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Kuang glanced at the upper left corner of the goal. Without stopping the ball, he swung his leg and hit the goal!
He Wei: "Valencia passed the ball, Rooney stopped the ball with his back and chest, and passed to Zhang Kuang. Zhang Kuang knocked away the defense and shot..."
The inner instep of his right foot drew a completely straight line, and the ball flew straight to the dead center of the goal without any rotation, as precise as a cruise missile.
Green flew to the rescue.
His fingertips touched the ball, but the force was too great and the speed of the ball was too fast. After just a slight scratch, the ball still hit the net in the upper left corner of the goal.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! It's Zhang Kuang again! It's Zhang Kuang again! Hero will always stand up to save the team at critical moments!!" Tyler's voice was almost split, "First half stoppage time! A non-rotating volley from 25 meters away! World wave! 2 to 2! Manchester United equalized the score at the last moment!"
Rob: "Yes, there is no possibility of saving this kind of ball. The ball speed is too fast, and there is no rotation at all. Green even touches the ball but it is not blocked. Look, it's that beautiful fan again, she is blowing a kiss to Zhang Kuang!"
He Wei: "It's in, it's in, it's in, the ball is in! Zhang Kuang, Zhang Kuang! He became Manchester United's Hero, standing up when the team was in the most difficult time.
The equalizing goal before half-time was like a ray of morning light at the end of a long night, echoing the team's more than 40 minutes of running, blocking, and forbearance.
The half-time was difficult and dark, but the edge emerged at the last moment. Despite the pressure of adversity, one goal equaled thousands of miles of light."
Xu Yang: "Yes, what I admire most about Zhang Kuang is that his ability to reverse and withstand pressure is so strong. When the entire team encounters a crisis, Zhang Kuang will stand up like Hero at the critical moment and carry the team out of the danger zone. On this point, I have looked at football for decades, and few top superstars can do it. Really none."
Zhang Kuang smiled this time.
He ran towards the corner flag area, jumped up, and made a downward movement with his hands after landing!
The beautiful fans in the stands excitedly kept blowing kisses to Zhang Kuang, which made her almost wet with excitement.
West Ham The noise from the home fans was indeed a bit quieter.
Manchester United players rushed over from all directions, and Vidić ran half the court from the backcourt and dove into the crowd.
Ferguson waved his fist on the sidelines, turned around and slapped the assistant coach hard.
Finally, shortly after kick-off, the first half whistle sounded.
Half-time score: 2:2.

MyScore Comment area:
"Now I know why so many fans like Zhang Kuang. Really, after watching this half of the game, I like it too. He is sunny and handsome, and he can always stand up at critical moments to save the team from fire and water. How can you not love such a superstar?
Is it possible to like a soft-legged crab? Yes, he is that person. When the team is going well, his data will skyrocket. When the team is going badly, everyone expects him to stand up, but in the end he just can't stand up."
"Brother, if you like Zhang Kuang, just like Zhang Kuang. Don't like Zhang Kuang and then trample others. Don't bring trouble to Zhang Kuang."
"Upstairs, this kind of fan was originally a fan of that person. After being so popular, he came to watch Zhang Kuang's game, and then hated the yin and yang of iron. As a result, that person's fans thought he was a fan of Zhang Kuang and attacked that person. This kind of person is very bad."
"Fuck, don't play like this, okay? Don't bring bad luck to Zhang Kuang. We don't compare with others, we compare with ourselves. It's none of our business how other superstars perform. They can perform however they want. If you are a fan of other superstars, it's okay to come to follow Zhang Kuang, but please don't compare, we don't compare."
"Yes, we don't compete, we don't attract evil."
"..."
"I am a West Ham fan: We are obviously leading 2-0, why do we feel we are falling behind now?"
"I bet Zhang Kuang can score in the second half."
"It doesn't matter what I bet on. All the tickets I bought are lost. Those damn manipulators, why? Why? Why did they control Manchester United to concede two goals in the first half? These people..."
"Yes, is it true that as Rob said, all of this is a conspiracy?"
"Then Zhang Kuang didn't ruin those people's conspiracy? Is that? Will those people target Zhang Kuang?"
"..."
In just 15 minutes, MyScore's comment area exploded with thousands of comments.

In the players tunnel, Ferguson's face was as gloomy as Manchester's Rain's face.
He did not wait for the players at the tunnel, but went directly into the locker room and slammed the door.
When Zhang Kuang walked in, I heard Sir Alex training Evra before all the players came into the field. "What are you doing with your hands? Ah? Tell me, what are you doing with your hands?!"
Are there springs in your hands? Can't you do it without stretching? Tell me, have you been bribed to give the opponent a penalty on purpose?"
Evra: "Ah? No, no, no one bribed me. I was really unconscious when I reached out. I really didn't mean it."
'Bang', Ferguson took the folder and slammed it on the table.
"You didn't do it on purpose? But now everyone can see it. Someone cooperated with some people to prevent Manchester United from winning the championship. Tell me, do the fans believe you didn't do it on purpose? Do the media believe you didn't do it on purpose? Do the whole club believe you didn't do it on purpose?"
Ferguson's loud scolding shocked Evra into speechlessness for a moment, and then he burst into tears.
Evra: "Boss, you have to believe me. I really didn't conspire with anyone to make the team lose. I really didn't mean it!"
Ferguson snorted coldly, then turned to look at Vidić.
"And you, why were you so angry in the first half? Did you deliberately get a red card and let Manchester United lose? One Evra deliberately handballed, and one Vidić deliberately applied for a red card. If Manchester United loses, even if it is not a conspiracy, it is still a conspiracy. Do you two want to continue to hang out in the club in the future?"
Vidić: "Tou, I, I don't..."
"No? You don't have it just because you don't have it? Hundreds of millions of people around the world are watching this game, and they think you don't have it just because you don't have it."
I'll give you half another half to prove yourself. If something goes wrong again, you will understand the consequences!" Ferguson slapped the table hard.
No one dared to speak in the locker room.
Even Rooney sat quietly in front of the cabinet untying his shoelaces and pretending it didn't exist.
During the midfield, Sky Sports also underwent a huge change. Rob was directly called by the CEO and fired without even giving him a chance to explain.
Martin was so stunned that he received the task of explaining the second half of the game alone and explaining Rob's problem to the public. He expressed the position of the station on behalf of Sky Sports and had nothing to do with Rob's remarks.
Therefore, when the second half was about to begin, Sky Sports's commentary voice came out as Martin·Tyler:
"Dear fans, let me tell you something regrettable. The commentary for the next half of the game will be done by myself.
My commentary partner, Rob Hawthorn, was fired by the station leaders at halftime because of his inappropriate remarks in the first half, saying that Manchester United was given two penalty kicks as a conspiracy theory.
Therefore, as commentators, we should not express such a position. We on-site commentators can only objectively explain what happened on the court and what happened outside the court. That is the business of the news commentators or other situations.
Let me declare again that the personal views expressed by Rob in the first half do not represent the views of Sky Sports. Please do not be led astray by his conspiracy theories.
OK, let's look back at the upcoming second half of the game..."
MyScore Comment area:
"Shet, Shet, what's going on? Rob Hawthorne, the commentator of Sky Sports, thought that this match was a conspiracy by the English Football Association and was fired? This, is this too extreme? Isn't it trying to cover up?"
"Perhaps they are trying to hide it, because Rob revealed their conspiracy, so they became angry with shame?"
"Tsk tsk, is that really the case? Will this thing continue? Will Manchester United still concede the ball in the second half?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on whether those people continue the conspiracy theory, or whether they choose to stop after Rob exposed it, and instead prove to everyone that all Rob's speculations are wrong."
"So, no matter what the outcome is, Rob has no chance of turning over?"
"Nonsense, a little commentator can play with those people?"
"Fuck, isn't it about fairness? Isn't it about freedom? Isn't it about everyone being equal? What about universal values?"
"Go to China, that's where you can find these things. The West has never been a fair and free place for thousands of years."
"Hey, brother, did you say the opposite?"
"No objection..."
--
With the referee's whistle, the second half begins.
In the 46th minute, at the beginning of the second half, Manchester United gave West Ham a kick.
Giggs passed through from the left, Jacobsen was staggered, then Giggs made a low pass, Rooney made a light shot in front of the goal, the ball passed Green, but hit the top edge of the crossbar and bounced out.
Martin: "Rooney is not very lucky today. If this goal had been scored, West Ham's taxi would have completely collapsed. But Manchester United's start was too strong, and West Ham's players haven't gained a firm foothold yet."
As a result, Manchester United continued to attack for 10 minutes with no results, so in the 57th minute, Ferguson began to make substitutions.
Berbatov replaced Valencia. Valencia had been injured for a while and had just returned from injury. He played for almost 60 minutes.
Manchester United changes formation, Rooney withdraws to the right, Zhang Kuang cruises to the left, Berbatov responds in the middle and returns to the center position.
The meaning of Ferguson is very clear: trident fusion.
He Wei: "Ferguson is very decisive in his substitutions. He has officially put the full version of the Trident on the field. He is not satisfied with a draw in football, even though he can win the championship in a draw."
Xu Yang: "A draw is not guaranteed. There is still half an hour left. Who can ensure that the game will end in a draw?"
In the 59th minute, there was a slight accident. Da Costa kicked Rooney's ankle from the front. Rooney fell to the ground and covered his feet on the spot. The whole audience was in an uproar.
The referee gave Da Costa a yellow card.
Ferguson got excited and ran to the fourth official to protest. This was a red card action.
"Da Costa stepped on his foot too hard, this yellow card..." Martin·Tyler frowned, "Rooney's ankle was already injured, and he was still wearing a bandage during the warm-up before the game.
It's not unfair to get a red card for this action. Li·Mason only gave a yellow card, which is considered merciful."
Manchester United's players were excited and surrounded the referee, scolding him for being unfair. Why was he only given a yellow card for such an obvious red card?
After repeated warnings from the referee, Vidić's command, and Rooney's signal that it was nothing serious, Manchester United's players let the referee go.
Rooney was treated briefly on the sidelines, moved his ankle twice, and limped back to the court.
MyScore Comment area:
"Damn it, it's not unfair to get a red card for this action, right? Is it really a conspiracy theory?"
"It's true, the referee is favoring West Ham United and is trying to stop Manchester United!"
"Rooney's ankle was injured to begin with, and this foot stepped on it really hard."
"Rooney don't get hurt, there's Football Association Cup, there's UEFA Champions League..."
In the 65th minute, Da Costa committed another foul. He pulled down Rooney outside the penalty area. However, the referee did not give him a yellow card and only awarded Manchester United a free kick.
This made the Manchester United players quite excited, but the referee made a move to play the cards, and finally Zhang Kuang pulled these players away.
Don't let West Ham foul the party not get the card, but give Manchester United a few cards.
Fortunately, the free kick was in a good position.
Twenty-five meters away from the goal, the position is to the right, suitable for right-footed players to shoot directly.
Rooney stood in front of the ball, and Zhang Kuang stood next to him.
Martin·Tyler: "Zhang Kuang wants to take part in a free kick? He scored a free kick in the game between Hong Kong Team and Hanhei before. I wonder if he will take it..."
The referee's whistle blows.
Rooney took a run-up, he ran past the ball.
At this time Zhang Kuang moved. He took two steps and then kicked the bottom of the ball. The ball immediately flew up...
The ball went around the right side of the wall, with strong external spin, and flew towards the upper right corner of the goal!
Green flew to save the ball, but the path of the ball was too tricky and it scraped the inside of the post and went into the net.
2:3!
Manchester United overtakes!
Zhang Kuang directly performed a long-distance sliding kneel!
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL, Zhang Kuang, Zhang Kuang, Zhang Kuang again, hat trick. He used a hat trick to help Manchester United overtake the score. He single-handedly helped Manchester United win the championship 7 rounds in advance.
He is Hero of Manchester United at the moment, he is Hero, the real Hero. I believe that the fans of Manchester United will love him to death at this moment. He showed his offensive versatility by scoring a free kick that has never appeared on the Europe field..."
He Wei: "The ball goes in, goes in, goes in, Zhang Kuang, free kick, hat trick. Let's appreciate this goal again.
Rooney fake shot to cover, Zhang Kuang runs up and exerts force, the whole set of actions is calm and determined, the high-speed rotating ball avoids the wall and goes straight to the blind spot of the goal.
The twists and turns of the entire game are still vivid in my mind: two consecutive penalty kicks pushed the whole team into a dark moment. The players were filled with grievances, and everyone thought that the balance of victory today had tilted towards the opponent.
It was Zhang Kuang who never gave in. They equalized in a desperate situation in the 44th minute in the first half, kept running and pulling in the second half, and finally completed a hat trick with this wonderful free kick.
His teammates fought hard and the fans waited silently, but he carried the hope of the whole team.
Destiny has created problems for this team one after another before, but Zhang Kuang gave the most powerful response with three goals. He has not been blunted by adversity. The more he is under pressure, the more amazing strength he bursts out."
