Chapter 427 Seeing the World Wave Again
After scoring, Van Dijk rushed out of the crowded penalty area and ran to the stands where the Manchester United fans were behind the goal. He punched and yelled at the fans holding up the Manchester United scarf.
And his teammates also rushed forward and surrounded him.
Bruno jumped high, got on top of them, and then punched the fans in the stands.
The Manchester United fans in the stands jumped up and yelled as soon as the football flew into the goal, causing the raindrops in their sky to scatter in all directions, as if there was an extra streak in the air. Turbulence.
"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!!!" the fans chanted one word repeatedly at the players.
In the last meeting between the two sides, Manchester United also scored two goals, but these two goals today are not expected to be their only gains in this game.
In that game, Chelsea took an early two-goal lead. Today, Manchester United only took 2 minutes to fight back, also 0:!
It seems that Manchester United's revenge mentality has not become a burden, but has become their motivation.
………………
Two goals were conceded in twenty minutes. Chelsea players had different expressions. Some were confused, some were angry, and some had their heads lowered and could not see their expressions.
The Manchester United fans in the stands continued to stimulate them: "This game is different from what you imagined!"
This game was indeed different from what the Chelsea players imagined. They were completely stunned.
It wasn't until the 25th minute that there was another shot. This shot was still weak and was easily caught by goalkeeper De Gea.
In the 30th minute, Chelsea finally had a good chance.
Manchester United's backline pressed slightly higher, Matic made a through ball, and Hazard succeeded in countering offside. He dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was tripped to the ground by De Gea who was attacking.
The referee Mike Oliver decisively whistled the penalty and also gave De Gea a yellow card.
"Oh! Penalty kick! Penalty kick! A dramatic scene happened in the game! Chelsea, who had almost no chance, got a penalty kick! As long as they can score this ball, they can even the score to 1:2. By then There’s only one ball left!”
………………
Hazard personally took the penalty kick.
When Hazard stepped onto the penalty spot, nearly 40,000 Chelsea fans kept singing and preparing to cheer for the goal.
Although they were beaten badly in the first twenty minutes and were scored twice in a row, as long as the penalty kick was scored, there was hope for the game. With only one goal missing, the game was not difficult to win.
Although you guys at Manchester United were crazy, you were only crazy for ten minutes. The next game will be included in our orbit!
Hazard pushes to the middle!
"The ball went in! The ball went in! Chelsea tied the score to 1:2! They saw hope again!"
"Hazard! The core of Chelsea's midfield refuses to serve as a backdrop for Bruno at Stamford Bridge!"
Chelsea coach Conte off the field jumped up from the ground with excitement after seeing Hazard score.
He also believes that this penalty kick will be the turning point of the entire game. Chelsea will be morale-boosted after getting back a goal, and then they will turn away and dominate Manchester United. Finally, they will repeat the home game against Manchester United in the first half of the season. They finally won. .
Chelsea thought the next game would be on their track. But just one minute after they scored, Bruno used a high-quality long shot to make Courtois make a wonderful but slightly embarrassing save.
This shot told the Chelsea players: The game is still on the track for Manchester United!
"Oh - Bruno's long shot! This goal is very threatening!" The commentator on the scene was about to shout a goal, but he didn't expect Courtois to fly across the side, push the football out with his fingertips, and immediately change his words Said, "Beautiful! Bruno shot beautifully and Courtois defended beautifully!"
………………
Bruno also felt regretful that the ball was saved by Courtois.
But what he faced was the Belgian national goalkeeper, one of the top goalkeepers in world football, and it was not surprising that the opponent had such a performance.
Just conceding a goal did not affect the team's morale. Manchester United still stormed Chelsea's goal, and Chelsea could only choose to defend and counterattack.
In the 35th minute, Bruno's direct free kick missed the crossbar and flew out of bounds, once again shocking the Chelsea people into a cold sweat.
In the 40th minute, Bruno was brought down by Azpilicueta while dribbling the ball in the frontcourt, and Azpilicueta also received a yellow card.
The Spanish defender is the right central defender among Chelsea's three central defenders in this game. Now he has received a yellow card before the first half is over. Manchester United will definitely attack his side in the second half. By then, his pressure will increase exponentially. How can he ensure that he doesn't take cards under such pressure?
Therefore, this yellow card will definitely make Azpilicueta fearful in defense.
In the 41st minute, Chelsea used a counterattack and Hazard hit the goal hard, but the football missed the goal.
This was Chelsea's third shot of the first half.
Chelsea has performed well this season and has been firmly in second place in the standings, second only to Manchester United. In the current Premier League standings, only 5 points behind Manchester United, it can be said that it is the only team that may still threaten Manchester United to win the Premier League championship this season.
Especially the 5:2 victory against Manchester United at home in the first half of the season can be called the most representative game of this team.
But such a team was beaten so embarrassingly by Manchester United today that they could hardly hold their heads up.
What's even more frustrating is that head coach Conte has absolutely no choice but to watch the team being humiliated.
………………
The team did not have the upper hand, and the momentum of the penalty kick to get a point was slowly exhausted by Manchester United's fierce attack, and Chelsea's players became more and more aggressive.
In the 44th minute, Gundogan was brought down by Marcos Alonso while dribbling in from the wing. The referee awarded Manchester United a free kick.
This was originally a very ordinary penalty, but Chelsea players seemed emotional. They believed that the referee deliberately favored Manchester United and made many penalties unfairly.
But in fact, Marcos Alonso did commit a foul. He missed the football with his first kick, and swept Gundogan down from behind with his second heel.
Chelsea center back David Luiz also received a yellow card for protesting against the referee.
As a result, two of the three central defenders on Chelsea's defense received a yellow card.
This will make it even more difficult for Chelsea in the second half.
………………
The position of this free kick was on the right side of the penalty area. The position was too far away and was not suitable for a direct free kick. Therefore, Bruno did not take the free kick, but Mata took it.
However, Mata, who took the free kick in Hegang, had his own plan. With his left foot, he directly attacked the goal, hoping to catch Courtois off guard.
However, Mata's free kick was of average quality, but the football was blocked by the wall.
Because the corner kick was so far away, Bruno did not expect Mata to directly attack the goal. He thought he would pass the ball into the penalty area or coordinate with others, so Bruno did not squeeze in front of the goal.
He stands in the center of the penalty area, but slightly further back than Mata.
When the football kicked by Mata hit the wall and bounced back, it happened to fall on Bruno's side.
Bruno used his chest to remove the football from the air, and then he raised his right leg before the football hit the ground - volleyed directly!
Mata's free kick was 22 meters away from the goal, but the position was a bit too far away to directly attack the goal, so no one expected that Mata would directly attack the goal.
Bruno's current position is nearly thirty meters away from the goal. As soon as the football landed a little below his knees, it was hit by Bruno's right foot, and then flew flat towards the goal!
This long shot does not fly upward like other long shots. Bruno's shot hits the football flat, so the football also flies flat.
………………
"Bruno's long shot——"
The Chelsea wall that blocked Mata had just dispersed when they saw the football rushing over again. This time they had no time and no way to organize the wall. The football started from Chelsea captain Gary Cahill and Matic. Time passed without any reaction from them.
Then the football rushed into the penalty area. The penalty area was full of people, but the football still didn't touch anyone. Some people raised their legs completely like a conditioned reflex, and the football went through.
When Courtois saw the football breaking through all the obstacles and reaching him, it was too late to make another move. He was only halfway through the action of lowering his body to save the ball when the football already hit his arm. superior.
The football hit Courtois' arm and then jumped up, flying directly into the goal behind the Belgian national goal!
"The ball went in!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL!!!!!!!!"
Commentators from all over the world shouted.
………………
An animation representing the goal was played on the electronic screen at the scene.
"World wave!" BBC commentator Lineker exclaimed, "A long shot over thirty meters! Bruno shot through Courtois's ten fingers!"
"Such a goal is wonderful! Of course, it is not the same for Courtois..."
"3:1! Manchester United re-expanded their lead to two goals! Manchester United looks like it is invincible!"
"Such a goal is so morale-boosting! It also hurts Chelsea's morale! Look at their expressions after losing the ball - not angry, but helpless!"
"Courtois was shaking his head. He was unprepared for such a sudden shot. Although he had already made a save, Bruno's shot was too fast!"
"Ah, the speed has been calculated... one hundred and seven kilometers per hour! It's amazing! This is the fastest shot among all Bruno's shots!"
"Super heavy artillery!! The speed exceeds 100 kilometers per hour. Courtois, you missed the ball unfairly!"
