Kagawa Shinji thought his dribbling was very clever because he had two consecutive feints.

First, he swayed his body to the left, making Innler think he was going to break through from the left. Immediately afterwards, he turned his body to the right.

If Innler hadn't fallen for the first feint, then Kagawa Shinji would be waiting for him here.

Letting him think that he was about to break through directly from the right.

He would definitely move his feet and pounce to the right.

In this way, the space between his legs would be widened. In this situation, he could gently send the football through his crotch.

At the same time, as Innler shifted to the right, the space on the left would be opened up, and he could easily turn around and slip past him from the left, running behind Innler to receive the football he had sent over.

Then, accelerating forward for two steps, and the sea would be wide and the sky clear. At that time, Liverpool's entire defense line would appear directly in front of him. No matter what choice he made, Manchester United would have a greater chance.

With these two consecutive feints, Kagawa Shinji didn't believe that Innler wouldn't fall for it.

This was a double feint...

But to his disappointment, Innler really didn't fall for it.

He had his back to Innler, so he couldn't see what was happening behind him. While he was working hard in front, swaying left and right, Innler didn't move at all behind him.

His eyes were always fixed on the football.

No matter what the upper body movements were, they would eventually have to be reflected in the football.

So, all he had to do was keep an eye on the football's movement.

When Kagawa Shinji's right foot pushed the football to the right, he almost thought that the opponent was really going to break through directly from the right.

But he quickly realized that Kagawa Shinji's push wasn't very strong. It was more of a ball control adjustment than a breakaway.

If he really wanted to break through directly from the right, he should have pushed the football as far away as possible to give himself enough space for the subsequent sprint and turn. If the football was too close, he might trip over his own feet.

But he didn't. He just gently pushed the football, and the football didn't even leave Innler's fan-shaped control range in front of him. If Kagawa Shinji wanted to force a breakthrough from the right at this time, he would have to take another kick to push the football further away, but in that way, he would also lose control of the football.

Based on Innler's understanding of Kagawa Shinji, he didn't think the Japanese would do that.

His footwork was very skilled, and he could ensure that he wouldn't lose the football even under his pressing, so he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

So, there must be another reason.

Thinking of this, Innler stood still, waiting for Kagawa Shinji's next plan.

Then he saw Kagawa Shinji turn and hook the ball...

The football wanted to slip through his legs. But at that time, Innler's legs weren't spread very far apart.

The football was blocked by his leg.

Then he moved his body to the right, letting Kagawa Shinji slip past smoothly.

Immediately afterwards, his body was like an automatically controlled sliding door, quickly returning to its original position.

This completely blocked Kagawa Shinji behind him.

"Innler steals the ball—!!!"

When he saw that the football didn't roll past with Kagawa Shinji, the commentator in the commentary box let out a loud roar.

He knew very well that when Manchester United lost possession of the ball only forty meters away from their goal, it meant something...

※※※

Innler didn't hesitate. He passed the football to Gerrard, who was right next to him.

He didn't have confidence in a direct pass. Rather than rashly trying and losing the ball, it was better to pass the football directly to a teammate who was better at doing this than him.

After receiving Innler's pass, Gerrard only adjusted for a moment before quickly sending out a through ball!

The speed was very fast, catching everyone off guard.

In fact, the most important thing in a successful counter-attack after a successful steal in the frontcourt is speed!

You must catch your opponents completely off guard in order to achieve surprising results.

Of course, most of the time, it was fast, catching the opponents off guard, but also catching the teammates off guard. So the final result was still failure.

However... Chen Hero was like a radar on the front line, tirelessly scanning for offensive opportunities. When an offensive opportunity appeared, even if it was only for a moment, he could seize and lock onto it.

Just like this time.

As soon as Innler stole the football, he realized that this was an excellent opportunity.

He immediately found an opening—a gap between the two center backs, Evans and Jones, that wasn't too obvious, but very dangerous.

As long as the football could be passed through, he could directly face the goalkeeper. And this position was the most convenient for him to run to. Although there were other openings, he would have to turn around, decelerate, and change direction.

Time would be wasted unnecessarily in these processes.

He decisively rushed towards his beautiful gap.

Next, it depended on whether his teammates could think along with him.

Gerrard thought along with him!

The football he sent out went right through that gap!

Then Chen Hero arrived and appeared behind Phil Jones!

"Not offside!"

The linesman didn't raise his flag, and the referee didn't blow his whistle.

Chen Hero received the football and turned around. He was already facing Manchester United's goalkeeper, David de Gea.

※※※

Manchester United players and fans went crazy.

They didn't expect that just a minute or two ago, their team was still ambitiously trying to attack and challenge Liverpool. But just a minute or two later, the situation suddenly took a dramatic turn!

Their attack didn't go up, but instead allowed their opponents to bring the football to their doorstep!

"Now is a critical moment for Manchester United! Chen Hero is on a breakaway! He is facing the onrushing goalkeeper David de Gea alone!"

Ferguson leaned forward, his face flushed, his heels raised, nervously watching the field.

The situation he feared the most had appeared...

If Liverpool took the lead, this game would be over!

No matter what, De Gea must stop Chen Hero's shot!

He must show the best performance of his career!

Ferguson even decided in his heart. If De Gea could save Chen Hero's shot, he would give this kid a new contract after the game! His personal treatment would be greatly improved!

Because this one save was worth a thousand gold!

※※※

De Gea didn't know that if he could save Chen Hero's shot, his salary would increase.

He had no other thoughts in his mind right now, only to save Chen Hero's shot.

It wasn't that he hoped he could get a raise because of this. It was purely a natural hatred between a goalkeeper and a striker!

No goalkeeper wants his goal to be pierced by the opposing striker.

At the same time, De Gea knew that if he could save this ball, he would become the team's savior.

Manchester United's morale would be greatly boosted, while Liverpool would be depressed.

This was the most critical moment!

His body lunged out, almost touching the ground.

※※※

Chen Hero actually had many ways to shoot, before he and De Gea collided. But he didn't choose any of them.

He dribbled the ball closer to De Gea, and then planned to get past him.

This was a very risky move. If he failed, he would be cursed to death.

If a striker didn't have enough confidence and composure, he wouldn't do this, unless his mind was blank at the time and he didn't know what to do.

Chen Hero clearly knew what he was doing.

His mind was clear.

At this time, he was particularly calm.

In fact, when facing an onrushing goalkeeper, the less you do, the simpler it is, the better the effect.

People who think too much and do too complicated things often have bad luck.

Chen Hero's move against De Gea was also very simple: a feint, and then he lifted the football up!

Then his body leaped into the air, chasing the football and jumping over De Gea, who had already fallen to the ground!

This would be a very beautiful dribble!

De Gea saw the football fly over his body, but he couldn't even reach out to grab the ball. Because Chen Hero's movements were too fast!

Immediately afterwards, he saw Chen Hero fly over as well. This time, he reacted. He reached out and grabbed Chen Hero's foot!

At this time, his mind was really blank. As for whether doing so would get him a red card and give Liverpool a penalty, he couldn't care less...

Since he was determined to foul, he naturally couldn't let go after grabbing it once. He wouldn't stop until he pulled Chen Hero down from the sky.

He succeeded.

Chen Hero was pulled by him and lost his balance, then plunged forward headfirst.

De Gea, looking back, was overjoyed!

But his joy only lasted for a quarter of a second.

Because then he saw Chen Hero didn't fall, but took advantage of the situation and performed a diving header!

The smile on his face disappeared before it could appear.

※※※

In fact, when De Gea grabbed Chen Hero's ankle, the commentators had already shouted "Foul!" "Penalty!" one after another. They were already brewing their emotions, preparing to criticize De Gea's action.

Even the referee, Webb, put the whistle in his mouth, his eyes as big as copper bells, waiting for Chen Hero to fall to the ground before blowing the whistle in his mouth—De Gea's foul was too obvious, he couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

Chen Hero did fall to the ground, but before he fell, he headed the football.

No matter how you looked at it, this was a beautiful diving header, not a forward fall due to loss of balance...

So, in hesitation, his whistle was never blown.

Then he saw.

Goal.

Scored.

※※※

When Chen Hero was grabbed by the ankle, he had only one thought in his mind—no one can stop me from scoring!

The football was right in front of him, so he naturally used a diving header.

This was a physical instinct. Because the football wasn't high, and his foot was being held back, so he couldn't move. Naturally, he could only use his head.

In front of him was a huge empty goal. For a header expert like Chen Hero, it was simply too easy.

So, his hundredth goal of the season, his tying of Roger Hunt's two hundred and forty-fifth league goal, was completed in this way.
