"Damn, Manchester United's defence is normal. It would be nice if it wasn't Zhang who was guarding the United goal. This young genius is really too strong!"

Jesús felt a headache and didn't know what to do.

Benfica's attack has suffered repeated setbacks, but Manchester United's morale has risen, and their attack has been very efficient.

In the 44th minute, towards the end of the first half, Ashley Young ran wildly with the ball on the right flank, went down to the bottom line and crossed.

The ball was blocked in the air by Benfica's left-back Emerson with an outstretched leg.

Corner kick!

Most of United's players entered Benfica's penalty area and were ready to grab the spot.

Valencia trotted two steps and sent the ball into the Benfica penalty area.

Rear point!

The ball arced and flew high through the middle of the penalty area.

None of the players waiting in the middle of the box could reach the pass.

But at the far end of the box, Rio Ferdinand was already outflanked.

And football is flying to him at this point!

Jump and fight for the top!

"Bang!"

Seeing that Ferdinand was about to fight for a header, he was knocked to the ground by Benfica's defenders as soon as he jumped together!

"Beep!"

The referee ran over and pointed decisively at twelve yards!

Penalty kick!

Manchester United have a great penalty opportunity just before the end of the game!

With that goal, United would go into the second half with the lead!

"Whew!"

Manchester United fans were rejoicing.

In the backfield of Manchester United, Zhang Liang clenched his fists and cheered!

"Mr. Referee, it's not a foul! he rushed to the ball, a reasonable rush!"

The veteran Aymar appealed to the referee.

But the referee waved his hand, raised his finger, pointed it to his eyes, and said, "I can see this ball very clearly! There is no doubt that this is a foul." Penalty, indisputable!"

The referee's attitude is very resolute!

Seeing that the appeal was invalid, Aimar had no choice but to walk away.

Manchester United prepare for a penalty!

Rooney set the ball at the penalty spot, took a few steps back and looked at the Benfica goalkeeper.

Everyone's eyes were on Rooney.

Will this goal be scored?

"Bang!"

After the run, Rooney awarded a penalty with a hard time.

The ball flew out in an arc and quickly approached Benfica's goal.

On Benfica's goal line, Artur held his breath and jumped up violently against the trajectory of the football's flight!

Just as the ball was about to fly across the goal line, Artur struggled to open his arms.

Ball to!

Hands are here, too!

"Whew!"

There was an exclamation at Old Trafford!

"Incredible!"

"Benfica's goalkeeper Artur actually saved the penalty!"

"In the face of Rooney's penalty, Artur reacted correctly and judged accurately!"

"He stretched out his palm and saved Wayne's penalty off the line!" he saved Benfica and saved the team's fate from behind!"

After Artur saved the penalty, the score remained at 1:1, and neither team was able to take the lead. "

"Now, the two teams are still on the same starting line, and it is still a suspense who wins and who loses!"

The commentator was very excited about this game, and it was good enough.

Artur, who saved the penalty, naturally became a hero, and all the Benfica fans pounced on Artur to celebrate together.

Shortly after the start of the game, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

1:1, until half-time, Manchester United was still evenly matched with their opponents at home.

In the dressing room, Manchester United's players were a little demoralized.

The lead was levelled and the penalty saved!

How to think, how to be aggrieved!

Ferguson leaned back in his chair, frowning, thinking about the strategy for the second half.

Compared with the worries of these players at Manchester United, Zhang Liang's expression was calm.

In the second half, he had absolute confidence to keep a clean sheet!

As for the attack, the second half was still long, and he could extend the score as soon as he had a chance.

He believes Manchester United will not be so bad.

However, Zhang Liang was still a little surprised to notice the low morale of his teammates.

So he laughed, "Yo, what's wrong with you? Are you all worried, is your wife sleeping with someone, or is your son looking like a neighbor?"

Zhang Liang decisively turned on the aura of group ridicule.

"Cut, your son looks like a neighbor!"

The "lethality" of Zhang Liang's words is extremely strong, and after such a break from him, the attention of his teammates was suddenly diverted, and all their thoughts were transferred to the sentence he just said.

The gloom in the dressing room was swept away, and smiles returned to the players' faces.

"Whatever you say, I don't have a son anyway!"

Zhang Liang rolled his eyes.

"Hey, Wayne, why didn't you score that penalty just now?"

Zhang Liang found Rooney and asked directly.

As soon as he heard Zhang Liang mention this, Rooney was a little wilted again.

"I don't know how... Alas, maybe it's bad luck. "

"However, it is also possible that the opponent's goalkeeper is too strong. As soon as I kicked the ball out, he reacted correctly. "

"He's strong, no matter how strong he is, can he be as strong as me?"

Zhang Liang looked confident.

Moreover, he also has this capital.

In the current league, Zhang Liang conceded the fewest goals, and the goals were still the top in the league.

If he admits second, then no one can be called first!

Rooney smiled.

"Zhang, compared to you, he is far behind!"

"That's not it. In the second half, shoot him hard, I'm afraid of him! It's okay, what's wrong, brother will give you a top!"

Zhang Liang said confidently.

"Haha, you kid, you're not as old as me!"

Rooney laughed.

The disappointment of missing a penalty in the first half has long been run away by him.

The relaxed and happy mood returned to his heart again.

Yes, there is Zhang Liang here, I'm afraid of his ball!

If you can't score once, shoot a few more times, and there will always be a few times you can score!

In training, he can even kick Zhang Liang's goal in, and he is still afraid of a second-rate goalkeeper like Artur?

Of course, he didn't know that Zhang Liang put a lot of water during training.

One is to keep others from doubting, and the other, not to discourage Rooney from their confidence.

Noticing the scene in the dressing room, Ferguson laughed too.

The more he looks at Zhang Liang now, the more he likes it.

As long as Zhang Liang is here, Manchester United is like a reassuring pill.

There will never be a shortage of confidence to win!

That's where superstar players come in!

Now Zhang Liang is becoming more and more of a core player of Manchester United, which is what Ferguson values the most.
