Becoming the Best Goalkeeper in the World
Chapter 114: Consecutive Attacks

The ball hit Balotelli's foot and then bounced off a 180-degree turn that led directly to the top right corner of the goal.

Very fast!

This ball is very similar to Balotelli's salto against Ireland in the European Cup.

It all happened suddenly, quickly and amazingly!

Even the Irish goalkeeper did not block Balotelli's salto and was defeated outright by Balotelli. Scoring a goal with a salto is beautiful but this time it is different, because this time the goalkeeper is Randy.

Everyone was wondering if could Randy block the salto of the genius from Balotelli?

Randy has "seen" what's coming next. As for this salto how could he let Balotelli score a goal like this.

Randy bent down then jumped with all his might.

On the goal line, Randy is like a dominating tiger, jumping and rushing towards the top left corner of the goal!

The ball arrives when Randy jumps! Before the ball was about to go into the net, Randy's block shot had prepared like a stone wall blocking the ball.

He stuck out his fist and just blocked it.

Booms!

The ball made a wrenching damping sound and flew out of the Red Devils penalty area.

"Wooaahhhhh! Great World-level rescue! "

"This is truly a world-class rescue, incredible!" Andika stood excitedly with her commentator friend.

Salto like this can not be saved easily let alone the execution of the salto Balotelli is perfect, but Randy is more extraordinary.

He can see the attack and do an incredible defense, even if these commentators have seen so many incredible attacks but world-class rescue situations are indeed very rare.

The two commentators at the stadium were also very excited.

"Balotelli's salto kick this time was very imaginative and all of a sudden with the angle very precise. But unfortunately, he met one of the most powerful players, the goalkeeper from Southeast Asia. Randy reacts quickly and also jumps quickly which completely blocks the ball."

"What a good salto! And a great rescue! It's world class!"

"We displayed their world-class level appearance in this attack and defense!"

Old Trafford stadium, applause like a concert! For Randy's outstanding performance, Red Devils fans clapped without hesitation.

Sir Alex Ferguson who stood on the sidelines also gave his own appreciation.

He crossed his arms around his chest and slightly raised the corner of his mouth, indicating that Sir Alex Ferguson was in a very happy mood.

It's just that the Red Devils player didn't score a goal that made him so unhappy! But in Ferguson's heart, in this game there is at least a 65% chance for the Red Devils to score.

The current situation looks happy for Ferguson and how depressed it is for Mancini.

After Balotelli's failing salto scored in the Red Devils goal, Man City's player morale dropped a lot and the Red Devils took the opportunity to attack.

In the 67th minute, Fletcher controlled the ball in front of the penalty area and then immediately made a lopsided pass.

This bait leads to Owen in the penalty box. Owen deftly made a header even though Kompany who was nearby wanted to fight for a header but Owen first snatched a header close to the goal.

The movement was very smooth and Owen managed to score first but unfortunately, the goal did not count valid.

Just like Owen's previous kick, the line referee also waved a flag to show the main referee that Owen was in an offside position.

Although this goal is not valid, the morale of the Red Devils is still high. Compared to the two invalid goals Owen and Balotelli failed, Owen's two strikes were more qualified.

Balotelli's kick was more stealthy and the angle and power were also good but Owen's kick was strong and the angle was hard to guess despite his concealment and sudden attack being lacking.

In terms of difficulty, undoubtedly Balotelli's kick was more difficult to salvage.

In the 73rd minute, Nana pushed the ball into the penalty box. After receiving a cross from the right, Ronnie immediately chose to take a tilting kick.

Aushhh!

The ball drifted quickly towards the Man City goal.

On the goal line, Joe Hart made the jump and blocked Ronnie's kick with one palm.

The ball slightly changed direction and hit the left post. Valencia got the rebound and kicked the ball back in the box but the speed of the ball was too fast for him to set up and this kick was flawed.

But this attack is not over because the ball landed at Nana's feet again then Nana kicked directly in the left penalty area and the ball only hit the goalposts.

Fans at the stadium and at home feel the feeling of a thrilling rollercoaster ride but unfortunately Man City are more fortunate to escape the disaster of this successive attack.

The Man City star began to re-deploy his energy and began to counter-attack. In the 76th minute, David Silva took a long kick but the ball hit Fletcher's foot so that it changed direction and headed in the other direction of the corner of the goal.

Luckily Randy has the ability to predict so he immediately turns his body then jumps to the side and brushes the ball..

David Silva who had raised his hand to celebrate had to sigh in frustration and throw his hand in annoyance into the air.

"Damn it, is this man a god? The ball changes direction but it can still be on the block." David Silva thought with annoyance.

Man City got a corner kick.

Mancini took the opportunity to replace Tevez with Aguero.

David Silva executed a corner kick, Man City centre-back Kompany received a corner pass in the box then made a beautiful header.

But it can easily be blocked by Randy.

And Randy took advantage of the opportunity to make long passes and launch a quick counter-attack.

After Nana stabilised Randy's pass, he quickly moved forward and used his pace to disrupt Man City's defensive line.

After running nearly 40 yards, Nana was suddenly dropped by a Man City defender. Free kicks got the Red Devils in the front court!

In the eyes of many people, Randy is the one who will execute this free kick.

39 yards from goal, can he score and make the Red Devils superior to Man City?

Randy also scored in Joe Hart's goal with a free kick in the Shield Cup.

Will it repeat again this time? Joe Hart looked at Randy intently and with a very sharp focus.

Non-mainstream offensive goalkeepers. He is no stranger to his name.

The last time he was defeated, he had nothing to say, but this time he wanted to find an opportunity to avenge but still he felt daunted by this challenge.

"Maybe I can't block your kick from close to 40 meters away!"Joe Hart felt dizzy in his heart.

Soon he adjusted his mentality, as a good goalkeeper would not let his emotions affect him.
