The ball rolled away from Zhang Kuang's feet, and Čech hugged it tightly with both hands.
Zhang Kuang was stunned for a moment and almost lost his balance.
He looked down at Čech lying on the ground holding the ball, and then the goalkeeper Czech Republic got up, slapped the ball hard, and yelled at the defense.
Martin: "The ball was saved by Čech? Zhang Kuang's performance was fine. Is it possible that Čech received God's blessing this summer?"
Čech roared angrily at Zhang Kuang, and his voice penetrated the noise of Wembley.
Zhang Kuang stood there, looking a little stunned.
What just happened?
He is a cultivator.
His reaction speed, explosive power, and body control ability are far beyond the realm of ordinary people. After playing for Premier League for a whole season, no goalkeeper has ever been able to steal the ball from his feet after he got rid of it.
Čech did it.
I feel like Čech is more of an immortal cultivator than him!
Zhang Kuang stared at the tall Czech Republic goalkeeper for two seconds, and then suddenly laughed.
"Interesting." He whispered, turned around and ran back.
Berbatov ran over and patted him on the shoulder. "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Zhang Kuang said, "Čech is in great condition today."
Berbatov smiled, "Of course, every goalkeeper will hit you hard. If you can get zero shutouts, you will become a god."
Zhang Kuang was startled for a moment. "Is that so?"
Berbatov: "Otherwise, what do you think it is? You don't know that you are the ultimate boss Europe that all goalkeepers challenge?"
Zhang Kuang said nothing more, but his eyes changed.
Berbatov is very familiar with that serious look. This expression would appear on Zhang Kuang's face during every major game last season.
In the 8th minute, Chelsea launched an attack.
Mata received the pass from Lampard in the midfield, took two horizontal steps to get rid of Pogba's pressing, and took a long shot from the top of the penalty area.
The ball flew towards the upper left corner of the goal with internal spin. The power was controlled extremely well and the route was very tricky.
De Gea remained focused throughout the whole process and made a prediction the moment he saw Mata take off.
He moved two steps laterally and then found that the ball slightly missed the right post.
De Gea breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was still tense.
Chelsea fans in the stands sighed with regret, while Manchester United fans applauded De Gea's prediction.
Although this young man is only twenty years old, his calm demeanor standing on the goal line already has a hint of Van der Sar.
In the 14th minute, Manchester United launched an offensive wave.
Pogba caught the ball in the midfield and passed the ball diagonally to find Rooney on the right.
After Little Fatty Rooney got the ball, he didn't rush to get down. Instead, he took a step back and took Ashley Cole out of the defensive position. Then he suddenly made a fancy dribbling, hitting the ball with his heel and changing direction. The whole figure slipped past Ashley Cole like a rolling meat ball.
Ashley Cole turned around and pursued again, but was already half a beat too late.
Rooney entered the penalty area and shot hard.
Čech's reaction once again shocked the audience.
Czech Republic The goalkeeper flew out and blocked the ball out of the baseline with one hand.
The moment the ball was blocked, he rolled around on the ground, then immediately stood up and shouted to his teammates, "Keep an eye on people! Corner kick! Especially that China pervert!"
Zhang Kuang watched all this in the penalty area and shook his head.
"Did the goalkeeper take medicine today? Is he so perverted?" he muttered.
Giggs took a corner kick and went outside the small penalty area, which made Čech unable to rush out to save the ball. Zhang Kuang, who had been sneaking away, suddenly rushed out and then jumped high.
Čech secretly shouted, "It's over."
Sure enough, even though he was flanked by Cole and Mikel, Zhang Kuang still slipped out through the flesh.
Martin: "Ah, Zhang Kuang, he took off, Chelsea players still failed to prevent his take-off, it was too high... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"
He Wei: "It's in, it's in, it's in, the ball is in. Zhang Kuang's domineering headbutt was so fast that Čech couldn't even react.
The green war fields are fierce and the drums are like thunder, and they cleverly escape the siege and leap into the dust. When they fly, they knock and the thunder rises, and the Chinese man breaks through the enemy's siege."
1:0
Čech punched the doorpost angrily after the door was broken down. He was very upset.
His teammates looked at Zhang Kuang who was celebrating with strange eyes, and then shook their heads.
Boas was a little dazed with a pen and notebook in his hand. He had only been with Premier League for a few years, and he had become such a powerful person?
Before, he just watched highlights and TV. After feeling the horror of Zhang Kuang at the scene, he had to be cautious. He became slightly uneasy about his Chelsea coaching career.
And Zhang Kuang had already rushed to the corner flag area, jumped up, turned around in the air, moved his hands down, and roared into the sky!
Completed his signature celebration!
Immediately afterwards, the members of Manchester United ran over to celebrate together!
The game continues!
In the 22nd minute, Lampard was still calm in controlling the ball in the midfield.
He protected the ball under the double press of Carrick and Pogba, and then penetrated Manchester United's defense with a precise through ball.
Mata came in from the left rib at high speed. His movement was too smart. He first pretended to catch the ball on the wing and attracted Evra's attention. Then he suddenly cut inside and just caught the ball sent by Lampard.
Pogba's pursuit was half a beat too late, and there was a problem with his defensive positioning. Instead of shrinking toward his ribs, he chased toward the side, completely freeing up the space in the middle.
After Mata caught the ball, he dunked past Ferdinand, who was on defense. His movements were as light as dancing, and then he calmly pushed the ball into the far corner!
De Gea saved the ball, but the speed of the ball was too fast and the angle was too awkward. His fingertips grazed the surface of the ball but he was unable to change the direction.
The ball drilled into the net.
1:1
The blue stands of Wembley were boiling. Boas stood up from the coaching bench and waved his fist vigorously.
Mata ran towards the corner flag area, slid to his knees to celebrate, and the teammates behind him swarmed up and pinned him down.
Ferguson stood on the sidelines, his expression unchanged. He stopped chewing gum for a moment, and then shouted to the court, "Hold on! Pogba, don't lose your position, don't lose your position, do you hear me?"
Pogba nodded towards Ferguson, he was somewhat responsible for this goal.
Zhang Kuang watched his opponent celebrating near the center circle and wiped the rain off his face with his hand.
In the 27th minute, Pogba learned the lesson from this defense. When Mata got the ball again, he did not pounce on it in a hurry. Instead, he blocked the inward route and forced Mata to the outside.
Mata tried to break through, but Pogba stretched his long legs and poked the ball out.
This time Pogba didn't stick to the ball anymore.
After he poked the ball out, he immediately looked up and looked for Zhang Kuang. Seeing that No. 33 had already started, he directly sent the ball over with a long pass.
The ball flew near the arc of the center circle. Zhang Kuang turned his back to catch the ball. Behind him were Mikel and Ashley Cole, one on the left and one on the right.
The two learned the lesson this time and did not attack at the same time. Instead, they formed a trap in tandem.
Mikel held his back from behind to prevent him from turning around, while Ashley Cole blocked his path from the front.
Zhang Kuang did not forcefully turn around, but stepped on the ball under his feet and leaned back slightly, feeling the direction of Mikel's force behind him.
Then...
He pushed the ball to the left with his left foot, and his whole body turned sharply in the direction of Mikel's force.
Mikel was staggered by this move, and his center of gravity leaned forward.
Ashley Cole quickly made up for it, but Zhang Kuang's speed was half a beat faster than he expected. He made a fake move with a heavy shoulder, and then dunked the ball in the opposite direction with his right foot. Cole was also thrown away by half a body.
The whole audience exclaimed.
The two fell to the ground almost at the same time, leaving two deep skid marks on the turf.
Zhang Kuang rushed between the two of them, the ball obediently sticking to his feet.
Martin roared excitedly, "Zhang Kuang broke through the double team! He rushed forward with the ball, Čech was attacking, no! He is still thirty-five meters away from the goal!"
That's right, Zhang Kuang did not continue dribbling the ball.
He suddenly slowed down thirty-five meters away from the goal and swung his right foot.
There is no run-up, no unnecessary adjustments.
The ball made a muffled sound at his feet, and then flew toward the goal like a shell.
The trajectory of the ball had a strange spin from the beginning.
It first flew straight to the center of the goal, and then suddenly deflected to the right halfway through the flight, drawing an exaggerated outer arc.
Čech's judgment was momentarily deviated.
He first moved half a step to the left, then found that the ball had deflected to the right, and quickly turned around to save it.
But it's too late.
The ball spun violently into the upper right corner of the goal, grazed the junction between the crossbar and the goal post and crashed into the net. The net was shaken high, like a white flag fluttering in the rain.
2:1
Wembley was silent for half a second.
Then... the sound erupted from the red stands and almost blew off the roof of the stadium.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!" Sky Sports's commentator Martin·Tyler must have practiced shouting, otherwise he wouldn't be able to shout so well. A powerful and long-breathed voice said, "Zhang Kuang, world wave, scored twice! A long shot from 35 meters away, Čech completely misjudged the direction! Manchester United went ahead and overtook the score!"
Zhang Kuang directly slid to his knees from a distance, and then punched five or six times in the air.
Domineering, unbridled, and without any scruples.
And Pogba also rushed forward immediately. He assisted, and assisted Zhang Kuang, his benefactor, so he was very excited.
The Chelsea players stood there with different expressions.
Mikel sat on the ground and watched the ball rolling in the net, eyes blank.
Ashley Cole lowered his head and put his hands on his knees.
Čech lay on the ground and hit the turf with his fist.
He Wei: "Haha, in just a few minutes, he scored twice. Zhang Kuang is even more powerful in the new season."
Xu Yang: "It looks good, it looks good. I still like to watch Zhang Kuang play football. He makes waves all over the world at every turn, and then attacks the goal fast and fiercely. It feels very powerful. Watching it will make people's adrenal glands soar. It's very refreshing!"
He Wei: "Aren't you afraid that others will say that your appreciation level is not artistic enough?"
Xu Yang: "What art? To hell with it, I still like this kind of art."
"..."
In the 31st minute, Chelsea got a corner kick and Lampard took a corner kick.
Drogba took off like a black beast in the penalty area. He still hit the ball under the close defense of Vidić.
The header is extremely powerful and the angle is extremely tricky.
But Vidić stretched his foot to block it, and the ball hit his leg, changed direction, and rolled out of the baseline.
De Gea ran over and patted Vidić on the shoulder. "Good legs, captain! This poke from you feels so good!"
Vidić got up with an expressionless face and shouted towards the defense line, "You kid, tell the whole story and don't make people think there is any ambiguity, corner kick! Mark people!"
In the 35th minute, this time it was Carrick's diagonal pass in the midfield, which found Zhang Kuang who was cutting in from the left.
He caught the ball at the penalty area line, held David·Luiz's defense with his back, and then suddenly turned around!
David·Luiz grabbed his jersey.
Zhang Kuang was pulled, staggered a step, and the ball was poked away by Bosingwa who came over from defense.
Zhang Kuang looked back at the referee, who shook his head to indicate that there was no foul.
"Isn't this a foul?" Zhang Kuang spread his hands and shouted at the referee, but the referee ignored him.
Ferguson stood up directly on the sidelines and shouted a few words to the fourth official, but was pulled back by Phelan.
Zhang Kuang spread his hands helplessly, turned around and ran back to his position.
In the 38th minute, it was another Manchester United corner kick, which made Chelsea very nervous.
Giggs stood in the corner flag area and glanced at his teammates in the penalty area.
Zhang Kuang is at the front point, Vidić is at the middle, Ferdinand is at the back point, and Rooney is at the top of the arc.
Giggs kicks off.
The ball flew to the front point of the penalty area with an arc. Zhang Kuang took off at the front point, but did not head the ball. He feinted a shot and attracted all Chelsea's defensive attention.
The real killer move is later.
Smalling came in from behind the crowd at high speed. He rushed into the small penalty area before everyone else and used his toes to volley and shoot.
The ball changed direction and entered the net from Čech's armpit.
3:1
The red stands in the audience were filled with excitement again.
Smalling ran to the sidelines, slid to his knees, and the teammates behind him swarmed him and pushed him to the ground.
Boas had a stern expression on the sidelines, with his hands in his suit pockets and pacing back and forth.
Being behind by one goal and being behind by two goals are two different concepts. There is still a chance to equalize after being behind by one goal, but it is extremely difficult to equalize after being behind by two goals.
So he was anxious. This was his first official game coaching Chelsea, and he didn't want to lose ugly.
In the 43rd minute, after Kalou received the ball on the right, he used a change of rhythm to shake Evra away, and then made a low pass.
The ball crossed the front edge of Manchester United's penalty area with extremely fast speed and accurate landing point.
Drogba burst out of the crowd and hit the goal with a powerful header.
De Gea flew to save and touched the ball with his fingertips, but the force was too great. The ball only deflected slightly and still entered the net.
3:2.
Drogba did not celebrate loudly after scoring the goal. He just ran to the corner flag area and patted his chest without a smile on his face.
For him, this is just a job.
The blue wave in the stands started again, while the red stands kept booing.
Martin: "Although Drogba is old, he can still kill the enemy, and his firepower is not bad. It is a pity that Chelsea has no one to take up his banner."
Neville: "That's how it is on the court. Everyone is unique. It's difficult to find a replacement. I can only say that the person who replaces him is not as high as the previous one, which can reassure the team and fans."
Martin: "What we are saying is that the first half is about to end. This half is very enjoyable to watch. A total of 5 goals were scored. Gary, what can we see from this?"
Neville: "I can see two problems. First, Manchester United's firepower has not diminished, and has even become stronger. Second, the update of Manchester United's central and defensive personnel is still a bit unstable, giving Chelsea a chance to score two goals."
Martin: "Haha, this summary is very good. It all looks at the problem from the perspective of Manchester United. He is worthy of being a famous figure in Manchester United."
First half stoppage time.
The referee gave two minutes of stoppage time.
Zhang Kuang received the return ball from Rooney near the center circle at 45 minutes and 30 seconds.
He looked up at the timer and saw there was less than a minute and a half left.
Chelsea's defense is retreating and there is no rush to attack. Everyone is shrinking their positions and preparing to run out of time before halftime.
Zhang Kuang did not pass the ball.
He took the ball one step forward, and then another step.
Mikel stood in front of him, lowering his center of gravity and not giving him room to take off his feet.
Zhang Kuang glanced behind Mikel: Terry and David·Luiz had retreated to the penalty area line. The defense line was very compact and there was no space to exploit.
Normal offensive players will pass the ball across or back at this time to keep the ball and end the half.
But Zhang Kuang is not a normal offensive player.
He moved the ball to the left with his left foot, tilted his body slightly, and made a fake move to break through to the wing. Mikel followed suit and moved half a step, shifting his center of gravity to the left.
Then Zhang Kuang's right foot suddenly dunked the ball back.
The whole movement was as fast as magic. Mikel's center of gravity had already moved out, and there was no time to recover it.
Zhang Kuang gains less than half a meter of foot space.
Zhang Kuang didn't hesitate.
No need to hesitate.
He didn't even have to complete the process of accumulating force to swing his leg. His right leg suddenly released like a spring that was compressed to the limit, and the instep of his foot hit the center of the ball.
The ball took off again.
This time the altitude was lower than the first time. After flying three meters close to the turf, it suddenly climbed upwards, the speed became faster and faster, and the rotation became more and more intense.
Čech was very focused this time and moved ahead of schedule.
He judged the direction of the shot and threw it horizontally, fully stretching his body in the air and extending his fingertips to the maximum extent.
But the ball's trajectory deflected again in mid-air.
external rotation.
Violent external rotation.
Čech Seeing that the ball was about to miss, he roared, and his body seemed to receive a force that pushed him forward, just enough for his fingertips to poke the ball, and then poked the ball out.
Terry immediately faced the ball and kicked it out of bounds with a big kick.
Zhang Kuang was stunned for a moment. Today's Čech is more powerful than Lü Bu? Whose subordinate is this?
Martin: "Oh my God, the ultimate save. Čech completed an ultimate save. You must know that the ball Zhang Kuang is not only fast and urgent, but also has a strong The ball spins outwards and has an erratic trajectory. This kind of ball usually makes the goalkeeper helpless, but Čech saved the ball. I have to say that Čech's performance was world-class."
Neville: "Hey, the emergence of Zhang Kuang seems to have unleashed the potential of many players. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."
Martin: "It's a bad thing for Manchester United, but it's a good thing for the fans and Premier League. After all, it looks better."
Neville:"Maybe."
Zhang Kuang stood there, shaking his head after watching the ball being saved. His teammates also came over to touch his head to show comfort.
Even Ferguson shook his head helplessly. He was really speechless if he could save such an unsolvable ball.
Manchester United was just about to take the throw-in, and the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. At the end of the first half, the score was 3:2, and there were 5 goals in the half. Those who bought small balls will probably be angry to death.
