Chapter 67 Every step is a miracle!

Shaq's worries have not become a reality. Even if his teammates are scattering, they will not rob Shaq of the game with 100 goals today. On the contrary, Manchester United players, including head coach Simon Grayson, signed names on Shaq's ball one by one in the locker room. The line of words "Manchester United 5:1 Real Madrid, Shaq's single season 99 goals, 100 goals, 101 goals" is really exciting to see...

When Shaq scored a hat-trick against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals and completed his feat of scoring a hundred goals for Manchester United in a single season, it was not only English football, but also European football, but also the whole world.

This time, Shaq not only completed his own goal score of 100 in a single season, but also set a new record for the individual goal scorer in the Champions League. Last season, he scored 18 goals in the Champions League for the "Youth Guards", and finally pushed Leeds United to the throne of the king of Europe by almost his own strength. However, this time, with a hat-trick against Real Madrid, Shaq scored 21 goals in the Champions League this season, which increased this record by a huge margin.

Goals one by one, records one by one...

Football fans all over the world are talking about how many goals a player can score in a season, but even Shaq cannot give the answer now because he is still moving forward. Manchester United still has many games this season, and Shaq still has many opportunities to score goals.

Many Shaq's supporters are complaining, believing that UEFA and FIFA are too dark. With Shaq's god-level performance, why can't even enter the top three?

What about this European Golden Ball, World Footballer, and FIFA Golden Ball Award selection, and even Shaq, is there any convincing power? It’s just bullshit!

But UEFA and FIFA are actually smiling bitterly at this time. When they are conducting the selection, the players they select are basically played among the giant teams. Many powerful players have never won individual awards at this level. It is not that their abilities are not enough. The main reason is that the players do not play football in the giant teams, and there is still a big gap in fame and influence.

When Shaq was at Leeds United, he started to "go crazy" after New Year's Day 2014. After he transferred from Leeds United to Manchester United, he was even more radiant like a volcano eruption. Moreover, his performance in the England national team was also quite outstanding. Speaking of which, he was really better than Rooney, who was named World Footballer for the first time and won the World Golden Ball Award, and he was also better than Messi selected by UEFA. Unfortunately... Shaq's explosion was not good and missed the opportunity to win the big prize.

However, Shaq still won the European Golden Boot Award, which is a recognition of his personal performance. The weight of this Golden Boot Award is much heavier than the English Championship Best Player, English Championship Best Scorer, English Footballer, Premier League Best Scorer of the Year, European Championship Golden Boot Award, and European Champions League Best Player. That is, the World Cup Best Young Player Award he won can be compared with this.

However, no matter whether it is the European Golden Boot Award or the World Cup Best Young Player, it cannot be compared with the European Golden Ball Award, World Footballer, and FIFA Golden Ball Award.

Fortunately, Shaq's mentality is very calm. He knows that his career is just starting out. As long as he continues to perform like this, those personal awards will only take a little time for him.

When Manchester United players were enjoying a rare day off after the battle with Real Madrid, fans of Manchester City, who were in the same city's arch rival "Blue Moon" finally found a reason to be happy. Their team tied Atletico Madrid 1:1 away with Milner's goal, and eliminated the last Spanish team in the Champions League this season with the advantage of away goals.

In addition, the Gunners defeated AC Milan 3:1 at San Siro Stadium with goals from Walcott, Dede and Chamack on the road, and finally eliminated AC Milan with a total score of 4:1, successfully meeting with Manchester City in the semi-finals.

Manchester United's opponent also appeared, but this opponent is really a bit unexpected...Inter Milan!

Inter Milan, which had originally encountered Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, was not highly favored by the public. After all, in the years since Mourinho left Inter Milan, the strength of the "Snake Elves" has been declining, the club changed hands, the players were aging, and there was no big money in the transfer market, etc. All signs indicate that Inter Milan is gradually heading towards a trough.

And now, except for a veteran Sneider who was redeemed from Galatasaray at a low price, there are no real big-name stars in the team. Players such as Ranozia, Papastasopoulos are all just a hit.

But this kind of Inter Milan, led by Ranieli, who once again served as Inter Milan's assistant coach, tied the powerful Bayern Munich 0-0 away game, causing Guardiola's successor, Serbian star Mikhailovic, was very dirty. When he led the team to be defeated by Inter Milan 2-3 at Meazza Stadium, he still vowed to say that Bayern Munich would advance to the Champions League semi-finals again. After all, the situation at that time was indeed beneficial to Bayern. Even if they won a goal at their home court, they could qualify by the advantage of having more away goals, but in the end they were tied by Inter Milan at home.

The "Red Devils" faced Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-final, which really made Manchester United fans happy for a few more days. It was someone who knew a little about football. It was really too big to make up for the strength gap between Manchester United and Inter Milan today. It was not up to luck to make up. If it was against Bayern Munich, Manchester United might be a little bit of danger, but if it faced Inter Milan... it seemed that there was no suspense!

On April 18, Manchester United welcomed their opponent in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley Stadium... Derby County!

Speaking of which, Derby County was also very lucky before. He had never encountered any strong teams in the FA Cup. He played against Charlton in the third round, and in the fourth round, Arsenal, who was playing in the first round of the Champions League knockout, played at home again and defeated his opponent 2-0. In the fifth round, he simply faced Birmingham and in the sixth round, he met Reading.

Along the way, Derby County did not encounter any strong teams, which can be said to be extremely lucky. However, in the semi-finals, he met Manchester United, who has been unbeaten in 52 games in various competitions so far this season, and his good luck is over.

Before the FA Cup semi-finals started, Derby County was unanimously disgraced. No one thought they could create miracles at Wembley Stadium. Even head coach "Big Sam" Allardyce said pessimisticly: "We met Manchester United again, and good luck finally left us. I think this is the mood of any team when they meet Manchester United. This team is too strong. Facing them... we can only set up an iron barrel formation to fight a defensive counterattack."

Allardyce said this, and he did the same. At Wembley Stadium, Allardyce lined up three midfielders in front of four central defenders, which could be said to have all the defensive players on the team that could be shown.

But even so, Derby County still cannot stop Manchester United's offensive, or, it should be said, they cannot stop... Shaq's goal!

At Wembley Stadium, Derby County has persisted for a while. The tactic of completely losing face in the Iron Barrel Formation can still cause headaches for many teams, but... there is also a god-level existence in Manchester United, Shaq!

At 21 minutes of the game, Manchester United attacked in the middle and tried to send the ball to the opponent's big ** for three consecutive times and were blocked. At this time, Clevelli divided the ball to the left, and then Gansuo sent the ball to the front of the big ** on the left...

Afterwards, when Shaq appeared on the pass route, the fate of Derby County was destined!

"Bang!"

Shaq leaned against the Derby County defensive player and swung a big circle with the flying ball with his left leg, and pushed the ball directly into the lower right corner of the Derby County goal.

Such a shooting is actually very difficult, but Shaq did it very well, so naturally the effect is... it is also very good!

The Derby County goalkeeper had already focused on the near corner. When he found the ball flying towards the far corner, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide in shock, and even had a hint of confusion in his eyes. Why did this ball... fly over there?

"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

At Wembley Stadium, more than 40,000 Manchester United fans cheered together, and then a huge red case appeared on the two stands on which they occupied, with the white numbers on it very eye-catching...102!

"It's amazing! This is Shaq's 102nd goal this season for Manchester United! But his supporters are really crazy. We have already mastered the information. A huge cloth painting like this is 40 meters long and 30 meters wide. After the cloth is made, workers need to manually draw the numbers and Manchester United team badges. The cost of a picture will reach 3,000 euros. It seems that Manchester United fans are really loving Shaq!"

After Shaq scored his first record for Manchester United, Derby County's iron barrel formation loosened. This is a cup match with a certain victory or defeat. The result of losing one goal and losing two goals is the same. They are now behind. If they don't try the attack, there will be no chance. Taking advantage of Manchester United's offensive, they may gain something when counterattacking!

This idea made Derby County players more motivated when counterattacking, but the reality is... Manchester United scored another goal!

Shaq...scores another goal!

At 33 minutes of the game, Franny killed Derby County's counterattack with a header. He headed the ball directly in front of Derby County.

Shaq, who was at the forefront of Manchester United, was incredibly fast when running without the ball. He surpassed all Derby County players with his speed, entered the opponent's left side, without any fake moves. During the ball, he suddenly pushed the ball directly into the lower right corner of the Derby County goal. The ball passed the goalkeeper on the ground, and finally rolled into a dead corner...

"The ball scored again! 2:0! Shaq! It's Shaq again! This young man will definitely become a god on the green field in the future. After achieving the great achievement of scoring 100 goals in a single season, he did not stop at all. This is Shaq's 103rd goal for Manchester United this season! Shaq is still moving forward, and every step and every goal he makes is creating a greater miracle!"
