"Dong, why don't you hit the ball yourself?" Lennon was speechless.
"Didn't you ask me to pass the ball to you? You couldn't seize this opportunity and why did you kick it?"
"Dong, that's not what you said. That was just..."
"Do you still want me to pass the ball in the future?" Wang Xiaodong asked domineeringly.
"Okay, I understand..." Lennon cried sadly, he did not dare to offend Wang Xiaodong.
Wang Xiaodong's behavior of "not shooting at the last minute" also received complaints from fans. Good guy, as a defensive midfielder, it's rare for you to have a one-on-one with a forward in the opponent's penalty area. Just shoot when you need to!
Those fans who wanted to denounce Wang Xiaodong were also embarrassed. Just a few minutes ago, they were chanting Wang Xiaodong's name. At this moment, my attitude suddenly changed, and I still couldn't get used to it.
"Dong is a crazy knife!" Bai Baihe fans who didn't understand Wang Xiaodong finally sighed.
But the eyes of those rotten girls were still shining: "I passed such a good opportunity to Allen, Dong is such a good man!"
In this game, the entire Manchester United team is moving towards the ambitious goal of four consecutive victories.
Lu Xiaopang and Xiao Luo were not vegetarians. They began to think of ways to bypass Wang Xiaodong and launch a fierce attack on Tottenham from the side or from the air.
In the 72nd minute, Saha made a pass from the right, and Ronaldinho volleyed from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area, but Robinson saved it from the bottom line.
Three minutes later, O'Shea made a pass from the left, and Richardson, who came on as substitute for Park Ji-sung, headed the ball high into the goal without being defended.
Manchester United made two threatening attacks in a row, and Tottenham couldn't give in much.
You know, the last time Tottenham won at Old Trafford was back in 1989.
In the past 17 years, Tottenham have only defeated Manchester United 5 times at home, while the Red Devils have achieved a crushing record of 23 wins and 6 draws.
There have been 130 league matches between the two sides, with Manchester United having the absolute upper hand with 65 wins, 33 draws and 32 losses.
Under such a psychological advantage, the score on the field is still 1-1, which is enough to show the improvement of Tottenham's strength in the past two years.
In the 77th minute, Wang Xiaodong kicked a big kick just past the center line, and the ball accurately hit the vertical line on the right side of the penalty area. Lennon received the ball and then swept the ball across the middle. O'Shea blocked the ball with a header and deflected it. Van der Sar finally lifted the ball out of the baseline.
Then Tottenham took a corner kick on the right. Berbatov jumped high in the penalty area and headed the ball towards the top, but was still blocked by Van der Sar.
Just two minutes later, the Dutch goalkeeper performed brilliantly again. He got in front of Robbie Keane and knocked down with one fist to clear the ball.
Van der Sar's series of wonderful performances greatly boosted the morale of the Red Devils, suppressing the momentum Wang Xiaodong had accumulated in the first half.
Many players begin to lose value after the age of 30, but there are also some players who suddenly become valuable again at the age of 35. Van der Sar is undoubtedly the best among them.
At the age of 35, he joined the Red Devils Manchester United. In just one year, he not only firmly established himself as the main team, but also sent away a group of young talents such as Howard and Foster.
Although he looks like a bamboo pole in appearance, he is still as majestic in the new season and his skills seem to be more agile.
In today's game, Tottenham spared no effort to attack and always ended the attack in front of Manchester United's goal. A large part of the reason was Van der Sar.
So far, Van der Sar has made 4 diving saves, all of which were wonderful.
When the Dutch goalkeeper once again blocked Tottenham defender Ledley King's follow-up shot, the aura of the world's top goalkeeper exuded from his body made all Tottenham players shiver.
"This hemp pole is too difficult to deal with!"
"Is he a robot?"
"There is no advantage at all in flying high!"
"Why are you looking at me?" Davis scratched his head, "I can't help it! When he was in the national team, it was difficult for Ruud to break through his door."
Van der Sar's bravery frustrated the Tottenham players. Taking advantage of the opponent's goal kick opportunity, Wang Xiaodong came behind Lennon.
"Little mouse, can you still run?"
"Of course I can run!" Lennon wiped the sweat from his forehead back and forth, "If you can pass the ball, I can run."
"Okay, this is what you said!"
"I said so!" Lennon raised his neck. He always felt that he couldn't show his timidity at this time.
Wang Xiaodong said nothing and turned around and returned to his seat.
The game lasted for more than an hour, and both head coaches had already made two substitutions.
Because Tottenham has Wang Xiaodong and Davis who can't run away, Martin Joel only changed two defenders to ensure the defense in the backcourt.
Bell was a little sad after being replaced.
He also wants to use his speed to catch Manchester United by surprise, but his defensive ability is obviously weaker.
Davis is no longer what he once was. Whenever he attacks too deep, Tottenham needs an experienced full-back to hold up the opponent.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaodong is still very active in the midfield. Under Wang Xiaodong's stirring, the entire Manchester United midfield has not yet formed a charter.
Carrick had the strategy to stabilize the country, but when he encountered the unreasonable Wang Xiaodong, he could only barely protect his body through hedging again and again.
There was no way to go through the middle, and Manchester United's offense was placed on the wings.
Facing Wang Xiaodong's pressing, Carrick did not dare to turn his back to get the ball.
Use your left and right feet alternately to pass the ball directly to the right.
At this moment, a black man wearing sports glasses rushed forward and cut off Carrick's diagonal ball, which was not very fast.
Just after he took two steps forward, he saw a raised hand in the corner of his glasses.
As Tottenham's new star, Davis also knows his position. What's more, he and Wang Xiaodong usually have a good relationship. When he saw the opponent asking for the ball, he pushed him sideways without hesitation.
Although Wang Xiaodong does not have as skilled ball-handling skills as Riquelme, his passing ability is the first choice in the team.
When Carrick turned around and saw Wang Xiaodong starting to swing his legs, he was shocked for no reason.
"What is he going to do?"
"No! No matter what he does, we can't let him take action."
"We must kill him!"
Thinking of this, Carrick twisted his waist and turned around, rushed in front of Wang Xiaodong as quickly as possible, and deliberately stretched out a leg to block Wang Xiaodong's pass.
The feint apparently worked.
Facing Carrick's stretched leg, Wang Xiaodong retracted his foot and took another step diagonally forward.
This step was seen by Carrick and he was overjoyed.
OK!
If you don't pass it, don't blame me for stealing the ball from you!
However, just when Carrick was trying to grab his position and get stuck in front of Wang Xiaodong, a huge force suddenly came from his waist.
Where did he use his strength?
Manchester United's midfielder let out a cry, and his hip shaft was hit by Wang Xiaodong.
Perhaps Wang Xiaodong is far inferior to Carrick in dribbling and controlling the ball, but in close combat, Wang Xiaodong has a natural ability. He can always smell the weakest part of the opponent's body and give him the advantage when he is not ready. A fatal blow.
Carrick held his hip and took a step down. The 1V1 duel between the two midfielders once again aroused discussion among the fans at the scene.
"Hahahaha, you stupid Manchester United, did you lose money by buying it? We deliberately tricked you!"
"Is Sir Alex out of sight? Are you buying something so expensive and useless? Fake, you are really being tricked!"
At this moment, Wang Xiaodong ignored the noise from the fans on both sides of Li Hui. He looked at the target on the right and pushed with the arch of his foot. The ball immediately shot into the sky and went straight to the opponent's space on the right.
Lennon, the electric mouse, was exactly there.
The 1.65 meter Tottenham winger's legs were flying very fast. He always felt that Wang Xiaodong's pass was a bit too big.
But thinking of what he had promised to the other party before, Lennon could only purse his lips and continue running.
Soon, the ball hit the turf a few meters away from Lennon.
Gary Neville has been staring at this long pass. According to his calculations, there is a high probability that the ball will roll out of the baseline.
But in the next second, Gary Neville opened his eyes wide.
The ball bounced off the ground and bounced forward less than two meters. After hitting the ground for the second time, it bounced back and directly hit Lennon's outstretched right foot.
"Walter???"
"How did the ball get passed?"
"Can it still bounce back?"
Lennon was also extremely excited when he felt the touch of the ball hitting the arch of his foot.
Produced by Wang Xiaodong, I have to accept it!
After removing the ball, the electric mouse kicked it horizontally and broke through diagonally.
Upon seeing this, Gary Neville hurriedly turned around and followed.
But the little mouse is not only extremely fast, but also very agile. The feint in the first half while dribbling the ball at high speed was dazzling, and he could be swayed aside if he was not careful.
Seeing the little mouse moving his right foot left and right, Gary Neville, who was retreating continuously, stopped suddenly, flashed his arms several times, and almost fell to the ground.
The chaos on the edge of the penalty area gave Van der Sar a bad feeling in front of the goal.
The figure flashed in front of him, and Van der Sar's vision was extremely poor.
The football was next to Lennon's left foot at the moment, but he raised his right foot, walked around the ball, crossed his feet and rubbed it gently. The ball rotated strongly around Richardson and reached the top of the arc in the penalty area.
"Dong, here!!!"
After the ball was passed, the little mouse shouted loudly.
He kept his previous mistakes in mind. This time, as long as Wang Xiaodong passes the ball back, he will definitely take a shot.
tong!
There was a crisp sound in front of the top of the arc.
Wang Xiaodong, who rushed to the top of the arc, really didn't hesitate and kicked directly into the vacuum in front of Lennon.
"Yes!"
Lennon was so excited that he howled in his heart, and his right foot caught up with the ball and pushed it.
Van der Sar's numb body collapsed quickly, and his outstretched arms almost covered the entire goal line.
Phew~~~
At the critical moment, the Dutch goalkeeper touched the ball with his fingertips and saved the team at the last minute.
Seeing Van der Sar's ultimate save, Sir Alex on the edge of the stands chewed gum fiercely and kept calling his goalkeeper.
But at this moment, a right foot suddenly appeared in front of the ball.
With a slight push towards the ball, he pushed the ball from the air into the goal.
The moment the ball hit the net, the entire Old Trafford fell silent.
Even Bai Baihe fans took a second to react. Everyone stood up, waved their arms, and shouted the name of the scorer.
"Baba, Baba, Baba, Baba!!!"
After completing the follow-up shot, Berbatov shook the few hairs on his forehead coolly, smiled and raised his arms to greet the fans in the stands.
"Fuck, mouse, you can't do that either! My passing was really in vain!"
The Tottenham players huddled together, but Wang Xiaodong looked at Lennon with a complaining face and scolded loudly.
"Look at others, and then look at yourself."
"You can't score even if I give you such a good ball. They just kick it and score."
"I won't pass the ball to you next time!"
