Martin·Tyler's voice exploded during the broadcast. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Zhang Kuang, world wave! Super long shot from thirty meters away! Čech can't do anything! Manchester United leads Chelsea one to zero!

This is Zhang Kuang's eighteenth Premier League goal this season, and he is still reorganizing his own record! Such a long shot has too violent aesthetics."

Neville almost shouted, "This is an undefendable shot! Zhang Kuang's long-range shooting ability has reached another level. You block his inward route and he uses long-range shooting to solve the problem. If you get too close, he uses his speed to throw you away."

Chelsea's defensive strategy was broken in the ninth minute. Ivanović is probably still thinking about how that person passed by him just now!

I have played right back for so many years and faced countless wingers, but I can responsibly say that the explosive power that Zhang Kuang started was one of the fastest I have ever seen. Ivanović is not embarrassing at all, and it will be the same no matter who you replace it with."

He Wei's voice echoed in CCTV's live broadcast room, and his emotions were completely ignited by the shot. "The silver bottle broke, water slurry burst out, and the cavalry stood out with swords and guns!

Zhang Kuang's long-range shot was like the sound of the pipa in Bai Juyi's pen suddenly exploded, tearing a bloody crack in Chelsea's strongest defense fortress.

At a distance of thirty meters, the entire process from breaking away to taking a shot only took three seconds, but in these three seconds, he completed the trial of the entire defense line.

He reminded us of Carlos's free kick on Four Nations Invitational Tournament, of Zidane's extraordinary performance in UEFA Champions League's final, of Rivaldo's overhead kick on Camp Nou, all of which were the perfect unity of art and power at that moment.

He is not playing football, he is telling everyone in the most fierce way, I will come, I will see, I will conquer!"

Zhang Lu chuckled and said, "There is nothing you can do about this ball. It is the ultimate expression of personal ability. Look at his movement when he got rid of Ivanović. It was extremely clean and neat."

Then he looked up and observed the opponent's defensive position, and found that no one was coming to block it, so he shot directly. He was extremely confident. The power and accuracy of this shot were top-notch in the world. Čech couldn't save it even if he was three years younger.

Zhang Kuang The most obvious improvement this season is that his adjustment time before shooting is getting shorter and shorter. In the past, he had to stop the ball to adjust, but now he almost shoots the ball as soon as it reaches his feet, and the goalkeeper has no time to predict at all."

After scoring the goal, Zhang Kuang started running the moment the ball hit the net.

He rushed towards the corner flag area, jumped up, and completed a 360-degree turn in the air. When he landed, he swung his hands down hard and let out a roar.

His expression was ecstatic and cathartic, and the fire in his eyes almost burned through the camera.

Rooney was the first teammate to rush over. He jumped on Zhang Kuang's back from behind, put his arms around his neck and shouted something.

Hernández arrived second. He hugged Zhang Kuang and Rooney from the front, and the three of them stacked up to form a red human tower in the corner flag area.

Carrick and Vidić also ran over. Giggs jogged from a distance to join the celebrating crowd and patted Zhang Kuang on the back of the head.

On the bench, Pogba and Welbeck both stood up and applauded. Ferguson stood up from the coaching bench and clapped twice, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

Manchester United fans in the West Stand jumped up from their seats at the moment the goal was scored, and more than 75,000 people gave out deafening cheers almost at the same time.

The red flag was waving wildly in the air, the scarf was thrown high and caught again, and the singing turned into pure screams and shouts at this moment.

A group of Manchester United fans near the corner flag area held up a banner prepared in advance, which read "Zhang Kuang, the new king of Theatre of Dreams" in crooked but full of momentum.

Chelsea's Expeditionary Army fans fell into a brief silence. They akimbo watched the celebration in the field, some shook their heads and others spread their hands, but then they clapped again and started shouting Drogba's name in an attempt to boost morale.

Fan comments on the MyScore platform exploded instantly.

A Manchester United fan named "Zhang Kuang's Little Fangirl" said, "Oh my god, I can watch this ball a hundred times. It was shot directly from 30 meters away. Čech didn't even touch the ball!"

Another one named "Rooney's Number One Fan" said, "Zhang Kuang is doing something wrong this season. Every game is a global wave. Premier League defenders collectively have insomnia!"

Chelsea fan "Watcher of Stamford Bridge" said, "Ivanović was beaten like a wooden stake, and Terry's command is also problematic. Why didn't you go up to block it earlier? When Zhang Kuang kicked off, it was already too late to cover up."

Neutral fan "Football Philosopher" said, "This is not a goal, this is a work of art. The rhythm from getting rid of to shooting is so perfect that it makes people jealous.

Zhang Kuang is now so confident that he ignores defenders. Players in this state have no solution."

Another official account named "MyScore Editor" posted. "In the ninth minute, Zhang Kuang scored with a thirty-meter world wave. Manchester United scored one to zero. Chelsea. I give full marks to this goal. I am not afraid of his pride. MyScore scored in real time, Zhang Kuang at nine points and five points."

After the game restarted, Chelsea's offense became more ferocious.

In the seventeenth minute, Mata sent a precise diagonal pass from the left. Drogba once again took the ball with his back in the penalty area. This time Vidić was closer, almost hanging his entire body on Drogba.

But Drogba still turned around and volleyed, and the ball hit Vidić's outstretched leg and missed the right post.

Martin·Tyler said, "Drogba's second shot! Vidić's key block! Both shots created a threat. Drogba is in really good shape today. Every time he touches the ball, Manchester United's defense becomes tense."

Neville said, "This duel is the most exciting scene in the game. Every time Drogba takes the ball, it is like a small wrestling match. The physical confrontation between the two has reached the point where every inch of ground must be fought. Whoever blinks first loses."

Vidić's defense this time was obviously more fierce than the first time. He used his body to withstand Drogba's turn and stretched his legs quickly and accurately. This level of confrontation is the essence of Premier League."

He Wei said, "The confrontation between Vidić and Drogba reminds me of the warriors in the ancient Roma gladiatorial arena. Both of them are fighting for every inch of territory in the most primitive way. One is building a wall with his body, and the other is hitting the wall with his body. This confrontation has transcended the technical and tactical level and entered a contest of willpower.

There is a kind of beauty on the football field called the beauty of confrontation, and Vidić and Drogba are interpreting this beauty for us."

Zhang Lu said, "Vidić did a good job in defense this time. He learned the lesson from the first time and did not give Drogba complete space to turn around. He stretched his legs quickly and accurately. Although Drogba completed the shot, the angle was blocked."

Drogba waved his arms in annoyance after his shot missed, then turned around and ran towards the midfield.

Vidić clapped his palm hard and gave a thumbs up to De Gea.

When the two ran past each other, Vidić reached out and patted Drogba on the back. Drogba looked back at him. There were no words between the two, but the respect between top opponents was already unspoken.

In the 23rd minute, Manchester United got a corner kick opportunity.

Zhang Kuang didn't know what happened and took away Giggs's right to take the penalty kick. He went to take the corner kick, and the ball drew an inward arc and flew to the back point.

Terry's experience was clearly demonstrated at this moment. He took off first under the cover of David Luiz and made a fierce header to clear the ball out of the penalty area.

Rooney got the second goal outside the penalty area and volleyed directly. The ball flew towards the goal with great force, but Čech stood firm and confiscated the ball with both hands.

Martin·Tyler said, "Hey, I finally found Zhang Kuang's weakness. His ability to take corner kicks is very average. Terry's defensive experience is too rich. He judged the landing point of Zhang Kuang's corner kick in advance and completed the key clearance under the cover of David Luiz.

Rooney's volley shot was also good, but Čech's position was very stable and did not give him any chance."

Neville said, "This is the reason why Terry has been the captain of Chelsea for so many years. His prediction ability and position selection in the penalty area are top-notch in the world. Young defenders should watch more of his game videos to learn."

After Rooney's shot was blocked, he spread his hands and smiled at Zhang Kuang. Zhang Kuang also gave a helpless gesture in return.

The fans in the west stand were still applauding, giving encouragement to this wonderful cooperation.

In the 29th minute, a shocking scene occurred on the court.

Zhang Kuang started to advance again after taking the ball in the midfield. His speed had already increased, and Chelsea's midfield defense was about to be penetrated by him again.

At this moment, Lampard rushed over from the side and made a fierce frontal tackle. The sole of his foot was about to step on the outside of Zhang Kuang's right ankle.

Zhang Kuang jumped up and stepped directly on Lampard's ankle, but without using any force, he just stepped on it so that Lampard couldn't pull out.

Atkinson immediately blew the whistle and showed Lampard a yellow card without hesitation.

Lampard's face turned pale with fright. He knew that Zhang Kuang had shown mercy, otherwise his foot would have been broken like Piqué's.

"Hey, Zhang, I'm sorry, I was impulsive. I won't do it next time."

Lampard stood up and quickly apologized to Zhang Kuang.

Zhang Kuang: "I will only let you go once, not a second time. If I hadn't still played in Premier League, and you are United Kingdom Hero in the hearts of the United Kingdom fans, I wouldn't have let you go just now."

Lampard: "Yes, yes, yes, I will pay attention next time. I'm sorry, Zhang."

Vidić and Rooney immediately surrounded them. Rooney yelled something in the direction of Lampard, but was pulled back by Ferdinand.

Zhang Kuang caught Rooney, then waved to Lampard, signaling him to leave.

Martin Tyler's voice was obviously worried. "Wow, wow, Lampard's foul was very dangerous. He stepped directly on Zhang Kuang's ankle. The yellow card is undisputed. If it was a tackle from behind, This may even be a red card. Of course, to say that Lampard is really dangerous, I believe everyone has seen that Zhang Kuang just let him go, otherwise it would be Lampard who has broken his leg now."

Zhang Kuang has stepped on the feet of many players who tackled his feet. Why does Lampard have such a short memory? If Zhang Kuang hadn't let him go just now, his career would have been affected."

Neville frowned and said, "Lampard is impulsive. Zhang Kuang reacts very quickly to this kind of leg-breaking action. No one has been able to really tackle him so far."

Let's watch it in slow motion... Oh my god, before Lampard's spikes even touched Zhang Kuang's ankle, he took off and stepped back while invisible to the naked eye..."

Martin: "For this reason, I have reason that Zhang Kuang's reaction speed should be beyond that of ordinary humans."

There was a deep concern in He Wei's voice. "Geniuses always have to go through such a test on the football field. Opponents will use all means to stop you, physical confrontation, vicious fouls, and even some actions that wander on the edge of the rules. This is the cruel side of competitive sports.

But Zhang Kuang is the player who can best deal with this kind of injury. Yes, this is his talent. He can react in an instant, not only to avoid his own injury, but also to give a warning to his opponent."

Zhang Lu said, "Zhang Kuang's talent is really the envy of many players. It can directly avoid a lot of injuries."

The fans in the stands burst into loud boos, directed at Lampard.

On the live broadcast platform, the angry voices of Manchester United fans almost overflowed the screen.

"Red Devils Aren't Red" said, "Lampard's kick was aimed at the useless person, but he wants to thank Zhang Kuang for forgiving him. Really, if it were me, I would step on his ankle instead!"

"Manchester's Rain" said, "Hey, this is enough to prove that Zhang Kuang knows China Kung Fu, right? In such an extreme situation, he can still avoid damage and step on Lampard's feet, and he can control the strength so well."

Chelsea fan "Blue Army Iron and Blood" said, "Lampard, even if I am a Chelsea fan, I can't defend it."

Neutral fan "Watching Football Rationally" said, "This foul yellow card is no problem. Lampard's movement is indeed big, but when he steps on the ankle, he is really running towards someone."

"Hurry, hurry, catch Zhang Kuang and slice it into slices. This is no longer a human being. I have only seen such a reaction in cats, and only cats can make such counterattacks with their bodies so light."

"It means Zhang Kuang is a 'cat person'?"

"Ah? He is a human-animal?"

"No, he's an orc."

"Is there a difference?"

"Hey, no wonder he can control many women so well."

"It's getting further and further away!"

"..."

In the 34th minute, Manchester United once again created murderous intent.

Zhang Kuang took the ball from the left and cut inside. His ankle didn't seem to affect his explosive power. He made two consecutive changes of direction to get rid of Ivanović, and then sent a precise through ball.

Hernández went around from behind David Luiz to grab the spot, pushed the ball from the front of the small penalty area, and the ball went straight to the near corner of the goal.

Čech reacted very quickly, went down to block the ball from close range, and blocked the ball out of the baseline with his right foot.

Martin·Tyler said, "Čech made a great move! Hernández's shot was close at hand, but Čech's attack and block were too timely. The value of a world-class goalkeeper is fully reflected at this moment."

Hernández's movement was very smart. He went around the blind side of David Luiz, but Čech predicted this route."

Neville said, "David Luiz made a defensive mistake this time. He was distracted and allowed Hernández to go around him."

If it weren't for Čech, the score would have become 2-0. Chelsea's defense would not allow any distraction in this level of confrontation.

Čech's save this time was entirely based on experience. He moved one step ahead to block the near corner, and Hernández could only hit the position he covered no matter how hard he pushed."

He Wei said, "Čech's save reminded me of Buffon's divine performance in the Berlin World Cup final. The goalkeeper's mental quality and physical reaction when facing a single sword are equally important.

Hernández's running position is world-class. He can always appear in the most dangerous position, but today he met a stronger opponent.

A good goalkeeper can make up for half the team, and Čech is proving this statement to be true."

Zhang Lu said, "Hernández hit the ball without any problem, the angle and power were enough, but Čech's position selection was too good, blocking the near corner in advance. This is experience.

Hernández may still have a chance if he chooses to hit the far corner, but in the blink of an eye he can only choose the safest push shot."

Hernández held his head in his hands after his shot was blocked, with an incredible expression on his face.

Zhang Kuang ran over and patted his back and said something in his ear. Hernández nodded and cheered up again.

Čech got up from the ground and patted his gloves vigorously. He shouted a few words to his teammates, to the effect that he should concentrate and not get distracted.

In the 37th minute, Chelsea midfielder Meireles fouled Carrick in defense. Atkinson gave a verbal warning but did not play the card.

In the 39th minute, Manchester United got a foul ball in the front court. Evra threw it and was cleared by the Chelsea defender.

In the 41st minute, Chelsea attacked again.

Mata made a pass from the right, and Drogba beat Ferdinand with a header in the penalty area, but De Gea's position was precise and his hands were steady to confiscate the ball.

Martin·Tyler said, "De Gea was too solid today. Drogba's header was easily confiscated. Spain goalkeeper is conquering Premier League with perfect performances one after another.

Drogba hit the ball very hard, but De Gea's positioning gave him no angle to hit."

Neville: "De Gea's current attack timing and position selection have improved a lot compared to last season. He is no longer the young man who will be bullied by high-altitude balls.

Last season he was criticized by the media for being unstable in handling high-altitude balls. This season he has completely overcome this shortcoming. This is the growth trajectory of top players."

He Wei: "The growth of De Gea is an inspirational novel. Last season he was criticized by the media because he could not adapt to the physical confrontation of Premier League, but this season he proved with his saves again and again that he is worthy of the Manchester United jersey.

When a person can face his shortcomings and make up for it with sweat, he is already on the road to greatness."

Zhang Lu: "De Gea is becoming more and more stable now, and his handling of high-altitude balls is much more decisive. Manchester United has him behind this defensive line, and the people in front can play with confidence."

The first half entered injury time, and Manchester United got a free kick opportunity from 22 meters in front.

Mata fouled Zhang Kuang in defense, Atkinson blew the whistle and pointed to the free kick spot.

Zhang Kuang walked to the foul spot holding the ball, bent down to stabilize the ball and took four steps back. Chelsea formed a wall of five people, Terry, David Luiz, Drogba, Lampard, and Ivanović stood side by side in a row, with their hands in front of their bodies, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhang Kuang.

Čech stood on the right side of the center of the goal, with his center of gravity slightly lowered and ready to save the far corner.

Zhang Kuang took a deep breath, his eyes were as calm as a deep pool.

During the run-up, step on the ground with your left foot, hit the ball with the inner instep of your right foot to the left of the bottom, and lean back slightly to create a just-right arc for the ball.

The ball made a strange and beautiful internal spin, perfectly bypassing the head of Drogba on the outermost side of the wall, and then fell rapidly, like an autumn leaf blown by the wind, and accurately penetrated into the lower left corner of the goal.

Čech moved one step to the left and then stopped. He misjudged the direction. He thought Zhang Kuang would hit the far corner, but Zhang Kuang hit the completely opposite near corner.

The ball went in!

2:0!
