I am the king of football

Chapter 391 The final collision
In an instant, the Stoke City players completely lost their fighting spirit. When the ball went into the net again and the Manchester United strikers who scored the goal ran past them shouting, even Jones, who had just boosted the team's morale, lowered his head in frustration.

It’s not that they didn’t fight back, but unfortunately the result of the resistance was not good. After just one offensive attempt, the team faced a hurricane-like counterattack from the opponent and lost the ball again.

"What are you doing! Didn't I tell you to defend?!"

On the sidelines, Stoke City's coach was also angered by this scene. In his plan, as long as the team could hold on to the 0-1 score until seventy minutes, the team's less running would save them enough energy to launch one or two counterattacks.

At that time, if the team can seize one or two opportunities, it may be possible to win the game with a score of 1-1. This may be the team's only chance.

Unfortunately, everything is over now, 0-2. This score is a hundred times more difficult to catch up than 0-1, because your opponents are not machines. They will seize the opportunity to stab you with a fatal blow at any time while you are trying to tie the score.

"Hey……"

The coach of the home team sighed and said nothing more. Losing the match against Manchester United was the most likely outcome, and now it was just one step closer to that result.

After the Manchester United team's celebration ended again, Qin Hu and Van Persie, standing in their respective positions, were already filled with joy. The look they showed towards the opponent's half was no longer filled with fighting spirit, but with the joy of being ready to receive the fruits of victory.

Stoke City kicked the ball out at another whistle. Instead of trying to move forward boldly, they regained control of the ball in their own half. This choice proves a lot.

Time began to pass quickly. With a two-goal lead in hand, Manchester United did not have to take any risk of losing the ball. Except for Qin Hu and Van Persie who were still pressing in Stoke City's half, everyone else only had to stick to their positions to prevent the opponent's possible counterattack or not.

The constant singing of Manchester United fans in the stands has completely turned the Britannia Stadium into the Red Devils' home ground. Sixty minutes, seventy minutes, eighty minutes, the score remained at 2-0.

At this time, Ferguson also started to make substitutions. Scholes, who had announced that he would retire at the end of the season, came onto the field, replacing Cleverley. Vidic ran over to put on the captain's armband himself. He was welcomed by applause from all the Red Devils fans in the stands. Everyone expressed their respect for this hard-working veteran.

Then in the 85th minute of the game, Hernandez, who has frequently come on as a substitute to help the team this season, came on as a substitute and replaced Nani. Then, all four main forwards of Manchester United appeared on the court.

"Hernandez, Qin Hu, Van Persie and Rooney, these four players are the key to Manchester United's victory in one game after another this season. In some games without Qin Hu on the field, his teammates continued the team's winning storm for him, which is also the key to Manchester United's victory five rounds in advance this season."

It is impossible for a team to become the champion without anyone, and Zhan Jun's words were recognized by everyone.

When the game reached the 90th minute, Phil Jones, a rising star in Manchester United's defense this season, also got a chance to come on as a substitute. He replaced Ferdinand and received applause from the fans. Everyone was very satisfied with his performance in supporting the team's defense when the two veteran players in the team's defense were in poor form.

At this point, Manchester United had used up all three substitutions and the game entered three minutes of injury time.

At this point, the score of 2-0 remained unchanged, the balance of victory had already tilted infinitely towards Manchester United, and Stoke City was already powerless.

However, several of their defensive players were still diligently protecting the areas inside and outside the team's penalty area. The two midfielders and four defenders made Qin Hu and Van Persie's occasional offensive opportunities all fall through during this period, so the score did not expand further.

However, everyone has moments of napping, especially in the final stages of the game when the outcome was already decided. When Hernandez, who came on as a substitute, suddenly broke out on the left, full-back Etherington was unable to defend against the nimble Little Pea.

"Hernandez received the ball on the left and passed the full-back's defense. He chose to cut inside from the left side outside the penalty area!"

"Swish~" A dunk, an acceleration, the substitute Little Pea had plenty of physical strength. His speed was so fast that Huth, one of the central defenders, had to move quickly and pounce on him.

However, it is clear that the striker's goal is not to go all the way through.

"The inverted triangle pass was given to Qin Hu who was running in!"

Hernandez and Qin Hu connected. This time, Qin Hu only had the opponent's goal in his eyes. After receiving the ball, he deliberately stopped the ball a step further and rushed out in front of Shawcross who was unable to react in time.

"Qin Hu! He stopped and passed! He rushed directly into the penalty area from in front of the last central defender!!!"

In an instant, the enemy was at the gates, and it seemed that all of Stoke City's defenses had collapsed. However, a figure that had been in a very embarrassed posture in front of the audience throughout the game appeared in the next second.

"Begvic! He chose to attack and pounced directly on the ball in front of Qin Hu!!!"

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Qin Hu collided with the goalkeeper who attacked fiercely and recklessly.

Both of them fell to the ground in the penalty area. Begovic clenched his hands in front of his chest and curled up like a shrimp, while Qin Hu sat on the ground, holding his right foot in pain and grimacing.

"The collision happened so quickly that the referee stopped the game and started communicating with the linesman."

Zhan Jun didn't know who committed the foul at first. It was only after the team doctors of both teams came on the field and treated the injuries of the two people who fell to the ground that everything became clear.

"Shh!"

"The referee pointed to the penalty spot! The goalkeeper committed a foul! It seems that Begovic was the first to touch Qin Hu."

A yellow card, a penalty kick. The referee did not send off the goalkeeper who was obviously more seriously injured but gave him a yellow card instead. As a result, Stoke City, whose next few league games will be crucial battles for relegation, may even have to thank him.

"Both injured players said they are fine. The player who took the penalty this time is Qin Hu! It was him who created the penalty but was pushed in front of the ball by his teammates!!!"

"Boom! Qin! Qin! Qin!"

The next second, the Manchester United fans at the scene began to shout the man's name.
