Chapter 1170: A goal that reignites confidence

Chapter 1170 The goal of rekindling self-confidence

After missing this opportunity, Manchester United became even more passive.

On the other hand, Arsenal has accelerated the pace of attack again.

Especially Erdegaard's performance became more active.

His running has no intention of stopping at all, and he keeps running across the court to do offensive and defensive work.

Again, he will even retreat to his own penalty area for defense.

There is no problem with fighting spirit.

However, based on the previous missed opportunities to score goals, this caused Erdegaard to have some psychological obstacles in shooting.

He started to pass the ball to his teammates more and let his teammates shoot.

Sometimes, he has better positioning, but also chooses to pass the ball.

Edegaard became hesitant when he shot.

"Hey! Don't pass the ball, this is your shot!"

Lucky kept reminding Erdegaard in the backcourt.

But at this time, Erdegaard already had a little fear of shooting in his heart.

If he still fails to score after several shots, it will be a big blow to him.

People will always fall into a state of entanglement and protect themselves at such times.

And this also made Erdegaard good in organization, but it was almost interesting to finish the goal.

"Odegaard had some obstacles in shooting, and he began to choose to avoid shooting."

Paul Mosen said seriously.

Dixon: "I have to say that the previous few shots failed to score, which put a lot of psychological pressure on the young player, which is also the key to this problem."

Carragher also finally spoke: "For teenagers, especially this kind of confrontation between giants, there is a lot of pressure on them, not to mention that Erdegaard's previous shots failed to achieve results, but this kind of Things can only be overcome by himself, no one can help him.”

Neville: "."

Neville didn't talk, and he didn't want to talk.

Watching Manchester United being overwhelmed at Old Trafford, his heart was filled with anger.

Others were well aware of this as well, so Neville was not further prodded.

It is estimated that he will have to wait for him to recover a little bit.

During the game, the Arsenal players also felt that something was wrong with Erdegaard.

But at this time they can't take care of too much.

Despite being in the lead.

But still can't be careless.

The game time has entered 40 minutes, and there are only five minutes before the end of the first half.

But during this period of time, while Arsenal stabilized their defense, they still did not relax their intention to counterattack.

At this time, Odegaard observed the running position of his teammates in the frontcourt, and then after receiving a pass from Kanter, he passed it directly to Aubameyang.

Aubameyang directly transfers the ball with a long pass.

The ball flew to the neutral position on the right, where Mane also rushed forward.

Mane and Bailey are pushing each other and running towards the landing point.

But Mane's speed is obviously faster, and he is advancing a little bit.

And Bailey also felt the problem that he was gradually falling behind. When Mane touched the ball with the first foot, he dunked inward.

At the same time, he stopped suddenly, and after Bailey passed in front of him, he immediately entered the penalty area horizontally.

Seeing the drastic change in the situation, Bailey followed in two steps. Under the tremendous pressure, he hit Mane directly on the back with his body.

Mane also understood, screamed and fell to the ground.

And the position where he fell to the ground happened to be inside the big penalty area.

"Bailey! This foul shouldn't be!"

Seeing that Mane has already entered the penalty area, but he still makes this kind of foul. Isn't this giving the opponent a penalty?

Bailey's expression at this time was also extremely bewildered.

Obviously, he didn't notice that Mane had entered the penalty area.

Thinking of making a tactical foul before the opponent entered the penalty area, but who would have thought that in a hurry, he would directly give the opponent a penalty kick.

The referee ran over, took the initiative to show a yellow card to Bailey, and pointed to the penalty spot.

"Shit!"

Neville held his head, he no longer had the courage to continue watching.

This match was nothing short of a disaster.

After falling behind, they gave Arsenal a penalty.

This is simply not too nonsense.

Mane picked up the ball from the ground and handed it to Le Kai who was running.

As the first penalty shooter in the team, Le Kai must take the penalty kick.

However, Le Kai did not leave after receiving the ball.

"Man, this ball, I hope I can give Erdegaard a penalty!"

Lucky took the initiative to discuss with Mane.

In fact, he didn’t even have to do that, but Mane created the penalty. Out of respect for Mane, Lucky asked.

If Mane really objects, then Lucky will take the penalty himself.

"You know, he missed a lot of goals, he needs some encouragement."

Hearing this, Mane also understood what Lucky meant.

The most important thing is that the captain has spoken, and he has no reason to refuse.

"Okay! Captain, you can make the decision."

Lucky smiled and patted Mane on the shoulder: "Thank you for your generosity, buddy!"

After finishing speaking, Le Kai turned his head and walked away like Erdegaard, and directly stuffed the ball into Erdegaard's arms.

Odegaard's astonishment.

Is this for him to take a penalty kick?

"Remember! Just like in training, your penalty kick is good, you need to be more confident, and Manchester United has not collected comprehensive information on you, so you have a great chance to score this goal, but the most important thing is It's confidence!"

Lucky patted Erdegaard on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, score a penalty and expand the score for us."

Erdegaard was almost pushed into the penalty area by Le Kai.

He put the ball on the penalty spot blankly, and looked at Manchester United's goal blankly.

At this time, everyone also noticed the change.

"Odegaard took the penalty kick? Kai gave up the right to the penalty kick to Odegaard!"

Paul Mosen said in surprise.

Dixon understood immediately.

"This is to cultivate self-confidence. In the previous few shots, Erdegaard failed to score a goal, which made him somewhat resistant to shooting in his subsequent performances!"

"And Kay intends to use this method to regain his confidence!"

Carragher: "What if the penalty is missed? Isn't this further destroying the opponent's self-confidence?"

Neville said a little annoyed: "But the benefits are even greater. If you can't even bear this pressure, don't talk about the future."

Under the attention of everyone, Erdegaard's eyes gradually began to change.

From being dazed at the beginning, I gradually became resolute.

Under the signal of the referee, Erdegaard wiped off his sweat and patted his cheek lightly to cheer himself up.

Immediately, retreat slowly to open up the run-up space.

De Gea also looked at Erdegaard with full attention.

Compared to Le Kai, this young player's penalty kick is still not so stable.

Chance to pounce.

De Gea began to twist left and right in front of the door to interfere with Odegaard.

But Ode didn't raise his head, and didn't even look at the goal.

At this moment, the entire Old Trafford stadium was silent.

Penalty kicks have always been the most direct and cruel way.

Whether it's a free throw shooter or a goalie, this is true.

They are all under a lot of pressure.

Beep!

The sharp whistle sounded.

Erdegaard suddenly ran up.

He didn't hesitate at all, and the rhythm of the run-up under his feet didn't change, and he pushed the ball straight into the goal.

"In the middle of the hit! De Gea threw the ball to the left and the ball went in!!"

Paul Merson roared: "What kind of courage and confidence is this! Hitting directly in the middle is beyond our imagination. The teenager Erdegaard broke through Manchester United's goal with a wonderful penalty kick!"

"After this penalty, Arsenal temporarily lead Manchester United 2:0!"

After Erdegao scored a goal, he was also quite excited.

After he rushed to the corner to celebrate, he rushed to Lucky again.

He jumped on Le Kai's back, waving his arms vigorously.

This goal made Erdegaard's knots and fears disappear.

The heart becomes extremely transparent.

Between success and failure, there is often a line, a thought.

Just like now, based on this goal, Erdegao will become more tough.

Of course, he is very grateful to Lucy for all this.

After all, it was Le Kai who took the initiative to give him a penalty and persuaded his teammates.

Of course, Erdegaard did not forget Mane, after all, this ball was an opportunity created by Mane.

At the end of the first half, Arsenal expanded the score since then.
