Chapter 3
In the center of the pitch, Zidane was smiling and enjoying the hugs of his teammates.
Even though he has retired for a long time, he has always maintained a certain training intensity and his ball sense is still there.
The last shot just now was very exciting. Even among active players, few people can shoot it so cleanly.
After the crowd retreated, Zidane looked not far away, and saw the Chinese boy looking at him with a smile.
Zidane also walked towards him with a smile and thanked him for the wonderful pass.
"Young man, what is your name?"
"Senior, my name is Xia Xing."
"Well, you are very good. You did the Marseille Turn just now more efficiently than I did, haha."
"Senior, I am far behind, you have always been My idol."
"Work hard, Manchester United is a good team, you will get what you want here."
Zidane turned and left, and Xia Xing also returned to the half-line.
Suddenly, a notification sound came from the system. Xia Xing checked with his mind and saw that items 2 and 3 of Task 1 had been marked with "Completed".
As long as he completes condition 1 of task 1, he will be rewarded with SS-level Zidane cards.
What kind of effect it will have is really exciting!
The game continues.
Xia Xing's inspiration suddenly fell into silence.
After all, he was just a shining episode in this game, and the performances of the stars are what the fans are looking forward to.
Giggs performed a one-stop Dribble on the wing and shot straight into the dead center of the goal.
2 to 2, Manchester United equalized the score.
A few minutes later, Roberto Carlos set up Guti and he poked the ball into the net from inside the penalty area.
At the end of the first half, World Stars United temporarily led 3-2.
In the second half, the sides changed sides and fought again, and both sides still attacked sharply.
Xia Xing passed the ball and ran in the frontcourt to coordinate. He kept observing the actions of his teammates around him.
After just a few dozen minutes of cooperation, Xia Xing has gained a lot!
Observing the ball control, passing, and movement of the stars up close is completely different from watching videos in front of the TV.
When Zidane receives the ball, he shifts his weight slightly.
Just this shift made it impossible for the opponent to figure out his next move.
Although Figo is tall, he is very stable and can dribble the ball solidly.
Xia Xing was having an eye-opening experience!
If you can play with these stars regularly, you will definitely make great progress.
But this is impossible.
So Xia Xing seizes every learning opportunity.
In the 56th minute of the game, Xia Xing got the ball in the frontfield.
At this time, Manchester United's defense was pressing forward, and Xia Xing saw Henry on the left speed up.
It's an opportunity!
Thinking in his mind, he quickly released the ball with his feet!
However, under Vidic's pressure, Xia Xing passed the ball a little hastily and failed to control his strength well.
The pass was a bit much...
But unexpectedly, Henry suddenly increased his speed!
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his peak moment!
Stopped the ball on the baseline and pulled the ball back!
Decisively kick the ball and shoots into the far corner!
De Gea fails to save!
The ball went in!
4 to 2!
World Stars United scores another goal!
The fans applauded thunderously, and teammates stepped forward to congratulate him.
Henry was also smiling, and he took the initiative to walk towards Xia Xing and express his gratitude to him.
"Young man, you passed the ball very well! The advance just now was very good. It's really perfect!"
"Uh, senior, I didn't give you the advance, but I passed it..."
"Huh?"
Henry was stunned. For a moment, seeing Xia Xing's sincere look, he burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha! You young man, you are interesting, interesting!"
Walking towards his own half, Henry was still chatting with Zidane about Xia xing with great interest.
"The young man from Manchester United who gave me the assist just now is really good."
"Well, although he is still very immature, he has some talent."
"And he actually admitted that he made a mistake. It's interesting. He can show his full potential in this kind of game. His ability is very good, and he is not arrogant. If he can continue to work hard in the future and get some luck, he should be able to develop."
While Henry was praising him, Xia Xing heard the system prompt again.
[Task 2: 1. Assist Thierry Henry; 2. Win Henry's praise. ]
[Mission goal completed! ]
[The mission reward has arrived—Henry Card, S level! ]
Great, the rewards are in place!
The referee's whistle sounded, and Xia Xing, who was in the middle of the game, could only pause the exploration of the system and continue playing seriously.
World Stars United led 4 to 2, and the players' defensive strength was obviously weakened.
After all, this is Ferguson's farewell game, so we can't let the Jazz lose no matter what.
Next, Manchester United attacked frequently and scored consecutively.
Scholes blasted the goal with a powerful long-range shot.
Beckham scored from a direct free kick.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, who came on as a substitute, hit the net with a shot from the penalty area.
Manchester United scored three goals in ten minutes, and the score became 5-4.
The Manchester United fans in the stands burst into applause and were excited.
Although these three are older, their scoring looks are very much alike to their primes.
Another wave of memories.
In the following period, both sides were a little tired and no more goals were scored.
Until the 89th minute of the game, the two sides were still 5-4.
With a steal in the midfield, World Stars United got a set kick opportunity.
Zidane stood in front of the ball and looked towards the penalty area.
He suddenly found Xia Xing standing not far away.
"Xia!"
"Huh?"
"You go to the penalty area, I'll pass the ball to you!"
"Oh okay!"
Xia Xing wanted to observe how Zidane took the free kick at close range. But When he heard this, he quickly ran into the penalty area.
Among the crowd in the penalty area, Xia Xing felt great pressure.
His body is very strong, but compared with this group of stars, it is still far behind.
Even though they had retired for many years and were a little out of shape, they could still easily squeeze Xia Xing out of position.
Is this the deterrent of stars?
Thinking in his mind, Xia Xing has been squeezed out of the restricted area.
Seeing this, Zidane smiled and shook his head.
He originally wanted to pass the ball to the young man and help him score a goal.
But, it's so difficult.
Although this young man's foot skills are passable, his body usage and position selection are too poor.
Young man, you have to work harder in the future.
He thought to himself, and the passed the ball!
straight to the middle of the penalty area!
Players from both sides were crowded!
The ball was hit by Ferdinand!
The ball was cleared out of the penalty area!
What a coincidence, it was flying towards Xia Xing just outside the restricted area!
When Xia Xing saw the ball falling, he quickly backed away!
There was chaos in the penalty area and passing the ball was not the best option!
In this case, just shoot directly!
Stand firm on your right foot and stretch your left foot back!
The ball dropped and he shot!
The moment he kicked the ball, Xia Xing had a feeling!
The ball was kicked in the right spot!
It has to enter!
The ball soared in to the air
Flying over the crowd in the penalty area and hitting the upper right corner of the goal!
The ball went in!
It's almost the end of the game at this time, and everyone is waiting for the end of the game.
Sir Alex Ferguson even stood up to prepare for his final farewell ceremony.
At this moment, Xia Xing's shocking goal exploded the entire audience.
"Oh my God!
"What did I see!
"That Chinese boy scored a super, super goal!
"Let's look at the video replay again,
"The ball flew outside the penalty area. The Chinese boy chose his position, half-turned, and kicked off his Shot!
"The action was completed in one go . !
"Looks a lot like Chinese kung-fu"
"This shot is so beautiful!"
"If placed in the five major leagues, he would even be qualified to compete for the best goal of the season!
"In Sir Alex Ferguson's farewell game, the most eye-catching Person turned out to be a little-known Manchester United youngster!
"It's amazing!"
