Chapter 145
Monday, late afternoon.
In the 24th round of the Premier League, Manchester United host the Hammers West Ham United.
When it comes to the strong teams of the Premier League, it generally refers to the so-called Premier League BIG6, but in addition to these six teams, there are some very coveted Europe. Premier League teams that qualify for the League Cup.
West Ham United are one such mid-table team in the Premier League.
If you say West Ham is strong, he has never had a glorious history.
But if you say he is a weak team, but the big teams in the Premier League dare not take him lightly.
West Ham United is such a team that is not up and down, a team that no Premier League team dares to underestimate.
......
'It's the 87th minute, it's now a 1-1 draw and now the ball has been kicked off the touchline and both sides are going to take advantage of the opportunity to make substitutions.
Hero. In Sky Sports, host Georgia Thomson came to explain the game.
'Taking advantage of the gap between the substitutions, I took you back to the game, and in the 34th minute, West Ham United, who were away from home, smashed the ball into the United goal by their main centre-back Kouyat in the small penalty area of Manchester United in a corner kick.
"And in the 73rd minute of the second half, Manchester United relied on continuous front-court cooperation, and finally Van Persie volleyed into the near corner of the goal on the left side of the penalty area, and the time left in the game is running out, both teams must seize the opportunity to attack!"
'A draw in this game would put Manchester United five points behind Manchester City and seven points behind Chelsea at the top of the table, which must be unacceptable to Manchester United, who are looking to compete for the title.
At this time, the live footage switched to a VIP stand at Old Trafford.
In the frame, a figure wearing a Balenciaga sweatshirt and a baseball cap slowly zooms in in on the camera.
The young man frowned, turning his head from time to time to say these things to the people around him.
"It's Chen." Guest commentator York Dwight smiled and said, "He's not in Asia. Is Chau participating in the competition? How could it appear in the stands? Oh oh oh, I forgot the time difference, the outside world is speculating whether Chen will be because of Ya. The continent's national team plays and does not participate in the league for the time being, and now this speculation should be false.
"Wait, the people around him are... Mendes? York's eyes widened.
The screen switched back to the playing field at this time, and York did not have time to reconfirm.
Georgia Thomson said with a smile: "Yes, it is Chen's agent Mendes, the news between Chen and Real Madrid has been making a lot of noise recently, York, do you have any inside information to share with everyone?"
York shook his head, "No, Georgia, I won't say anything, don't try to fool me." In
the 86th minute, a quick counter-attack by West Ham United at the back was stopped by Manchester United's midfield.
Manchester United's midfielder controlled the ball, and just as the West Ham United player was retreating into the box, Wayne Rooney, who had the captain's armband on his armband, suddenly hit a long pass into the West Ham United penalty area.
Van Persie, who was at the front of the Manchester United formation, suddenly changed direction and accelerated one after another, and his no-ball feint stunned the defending West Ham United centre-back Tomkins.
In this case, Van Persie has already achieved a positional advantage.
The ball landed in front of Robin van Persie and the Dutchman adjusted his body posture and prepared to shoot.
"Fight it." Tomkins, who was closely behind Robin van Persie, knew he couldn't let the Dutchman shoot 1-on-1 in the box.
Tomkins reached out and grabbed Van Persie's raised right arm, then jerked it back.
Van Persie's balance was upset by this foreign force, and he fell in the direction of Tomkins' force and planted in the West Ham United penalty area.
"Shh-"
The referee saw it very clearly, he immediately sounded the whistle, and made a penalty gesture in his hand.
Several West Ham players came up to protest to the referee, but Tomkins, who had chosen a tactical foul, did not rush up to defend anything.
Tomkins was shown a yellow card by the referee and United were given a valuable penalty opportunity.
It was a standard yellow dot package, with West Ham players backing away one by one under repeated warnings from the referee.
Rooney trotted over from behind, he caught the penalty thrown by Van Persie and placed it on the penalty spot with a gentle kiss on the ball.
West Ham United goalkeeper Adrian stepped forward to provoke Rooney in an attempt to provoke the Manchester United captain.
Rooney did not fight Adrian in the trash, but tilted his head to look at the referee.
Not surprisingly, West Ham goalkeeper Adrian earned himself a yellow card.
Manchester United and West Ham players stood in a row outside the box as the referee blew a whistle to signal that a penalty could be taken.
Rooney "walked" towards the ball with a small step, suddenly accelerated in the last two steps, and shot with his right foot.
Adrian pounced in the opposite direction of the ball, and the half-high ball that Rooney freed off was fired firmly over the net.
Manchester United, in the final minutes towards the end of the game, took advantage with penalties.
"Wha-"
In the stands at Old Trafford, thousands of fans cheered and stood up and waved their arms vigorously.
They use their own roar to vent the emotions that have been accumulated in their hearts for a long time.
......
Once again, the Sky Sports Channel image was removed from the celebratory stands and once again shone into the VIP box.
Chen Huan, wearing a baseball cap, shook his fist at the sky, and seemed to be shouting something in his mouth.
This is obviously a replay of the goal in a split second.
'Chen also looks very excited, West Ham's defense is too solid in this game, and Manchester United's ability to seize opportunities has had a lot of problems, I wonder if Manchester United would have played so hard if Chen had been on the pitch. Georgia Thomas said with a smile.
"If Chan could have played, I think the game would have ended before 45 minutes, Georgia, don't look at me with strange eyes, I have to remind you that Chan is currently the Premier League's top scorer and he is one of the most efficient goal-scoring machines in the Premier League this season." York said.
......
The penalty, which occurred in the 87th minute, completely killed the game.
In the minutes after the penalty, United recovered all of their own half to defend.
After getting the ball, Manchester United will not try to organize the attack, but directly kick the ball far away from the half of the field.
Manchester United defended in this way to completely dismember the final minutes of the game.
