Becoming the Best Goalkeeper in the World
Chapter 132: The Spirit that returns

Arthur who saved the penalty naturally became the hero of Benfica, all Benfica players jumped towards Arthur and celebrated together.

Shortly after the match restarted, the referee blew a whistle signalling that the first half was over.

With a 1:1 scoreline, Manchester United still maintain a balance of strength with their opponents at home.

In the dressing room, the morale of the Manchester United players is a bit low.

The advantage they had before was equated by the enemy and the penalty kick was saved by the enemy.

Ferguson leaned back in the chair while frowning, he was thinking of a strategy for the second half of the game.

Compared to the concerns of the Manchester United players, Randy's expression looked very calm.

In the second half, he had absolute confidence to defend the Manchester United goal. As for the offensive part, the game time is still long, as long as there is a chance, Manchester United can definitely add goals.

He believes the other Manchester United players will not be that bad. However, Randy was still a little surprised when he saw the low morale of his team-mates.

So he purposely laughed to distract his teammates.

"Haha, what's wrong with you, all of you frown with a bad expression, is it because you can't stand up anymore like a cripple?" Randy resolutely lit a mocking aura on the others.

"S*al, don't insult me!"

Randy's taunting words distract his teammates, and all their thoughts are turned to what Randy just said now.

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

"Well whatever, the important thing is you still have legs to stand on!" Randy rolled his eyes.

"Hey, Wayne, why didn't you score earlier?” Randy went to Rooney and asked directly.

As soon as Randy mentioned this, Rooney became a little moody again,

"I don't know what happened, maybe it was bad luck, or maybe the goalkeeper was very strong, he reacted immediately after I kicked the ball, and the prediction was right."

"No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than me?" When saying this, Randy seemed very confident, moreover he also had the capital to be confident.

In the league at the moment, the goalkeeper who has conceded few goals is Randy, the only goalkeeper currently in the world.

If he occupies the second position, then there is nothing that can be called as the first.

Rooney laughed when he heard that and replied "Well Randy, how can he compare to you, he's far behind."

"Therefore, in the second half will attack goalkeeper Benfica all-out, do not be afraid not to score! Defense business, leave everything to me." Randy said confidently.

"Haha, boy, you're as good as I used to be." Rooney laughed out loud.

The disappointment of missing a penalty kick in the first half was long out of Rooney's mind.

A relaxed and happy atmosphere returned to his heart.

Yeah, with Randy on the pitch, he doesn't have to worry about him not scoring a goal.

If he doesn't score one goal then kick the ball a few more times, there will always be chances to score.

He can even score from the goal that Randy guarded in training despite having to try really hard, so why should he be afraid of a second-class goalkeeper like Arthur?

Of course, Rooney had no idea Randy had deliberately allowed him to score in training before,

The reason was to prevent the doubts of others, and also to arouse the confidence of Rooney.

Seeing this cheerful atmosphere back in the dressing room, Ferguson laughed happily. He feels even more happy to see Randy who managed to persuade his teammate.

As long as Randy is there, Manchester United seem to have the certainty to bounce back.

Now Randy is becoming more and more like the Manchester United core of players that Ferguson values the most.

.....

A few minutes later, the two teams swapped positions and the match would start again.

Benfica coach Jesus was surprised to learn Manchester United took the lead in making adjustments.

At the start of the second half, Ferguson changed two people at once.

Carrick's out, Daley's in.

Berbatov's out, Owen's in.

Although it is not clear what the tactical Ferguson, but two players replaced at the beginning of the round signifies Ferguson was not satisfied with the draw in the first half.

Manchester United are chasing a win.

Through this switch, Ferguson fully releases this signal to every Manchester United player.

The adjustment of Manchester United's substitutions soon played a clear role.

Manchester United paid more attention to the coordination of the ball at their feet, providing quick passing after receiving the ball immediately launched a sudden acceleration so the Benfica players were forced to start a grueling passive defense.

Manchester United have control of the game.

"Nani, run!" Randy shouted after catching the ball from Benfica's attack, he then threw the ball to Nani.

Nani did not control the ball and gave it to Ashley Young.

Ashley Young dribbled very quickly and went straight past Benfica midfielder Xavi Garcia who was trying to grab the ball.

Then Ashley Young passed the ball back to Nani in the middle, Nani observed the running position of his team-mates while running, and immediately chose to split the ball to the side, and directly pass the ball to Ashley Young who broke through on the side.

Ashley Young did not make any adjustments after receiving the ball, and went straight into delivering a high bounce pass around the middle of the Benfica penalty area and up to the right back point of the big penalty area.

There, Owen responded quickly.

Facing the defence of left-back Benfica Emerson, Owen returned the ball with his left foot and passed the ball to Rooney who broke through in the back row.

Rooney picked up the ball and was about to pass it but there was Garcia nearby so he did not make any adjustments and immediately chose a long-range kick to attack Benfica's goal.

After being passed by Rooney, Garcia saw Rooney swing his legs to kick, so turned quickly and subconsciously pushed Rooney with his hand so that Rooney's kick did not hit the ball.

"Beeping!" The referee immediately ran and pointed to the position Rooney fell.

Free kick near the Benfica penalty area.

The referee was aware of the problem and blew a whistle that signaled Garcia had committed a foul.

At the same time, the referee gave Manchester United a free-kick, and it's a good opportunity, the series of attacks Manchester United did from the start was very good.

The ball starts from Randy's throw then four players participate in this counter-attack in quick succession. After just six passes, it formed a good opportunity to kick from the front of the penalty area.

The entire offensive process was completed in one go.

When Manchester United attacked, the Benfica players followed the ball and were exhausted. They simply could not find the rhythm of his defense.

This is why Garcia chose to commit a foul in order to foil Rooney's kick.

But Garcia did not realize his decision was the wrong one. Right now Randy is running from the back court into the back of Benfica.

The player who will execute this free kick is undoubtedly Manchester United's number one free kick genius, Randy!
