Becoming the Best Goalkeeper in the World
Chapter 131: Arthur the Saviour of Benfica

A tree cannot be a forest!

Football is a team sport, no matter how strong a person is, he will be limited by the performance of the team, if the strength of the whole team cannot be deployed, then this match will definitely fail.

In this case, Randy really did not want to see his team performance weaken.

Victory is Randy's goal.

Every time Randy plays, all he wants is to fight for victory with all his strength.

The will to win had long since been integrated into his blood.

Come on Benfica, the game's just getting started!

Standing back on the goal line, Randy looks full of fighting spirit!

Sure enough, the eager Manchester United did not commit the low-level mistake they did before.

Amid Randy's unbroken roar, Manchester United's ball control was organised very solidly.

"After getting a warning from Randy, our defenders seemed to wake up from their slumber, and mentally they were completely different from before!"

"From a defensive point of view, he is also a rare genius at commanding and inspiring teammates. From this aspect, his characteristics are like the legend of Oliver Kahn!"

Seeing the Manchester United players under Randy's command repeatedly repelling Benfica's attacks, commentators were excited.

Manchester United played with passion to make Benfica began to feel uncomfortable.

Manchester United who have stabilized their position began to launch some good attacks.

In the 33rd minute, Manchester United made three tridents on the frontcourt, Nani in the middle, Rooney on the left, and Berbatov on the right.

Valencia who received the ball immediately passed the ball without stopping the ball at all, he immediately passed the ball to Nani in the middle while advancing forward at high speed.

In front of three Manchester United players, the four Benfica defenders only stand in a straight line, while stepping back and also paying close attention to the movement of Manchester United.

They watched Nani's movements, but Nani had no intention of passing the ball.

After receiving a pass from Valencia, Nani flicked the ball slightly to the right and took advantage of a distance of more than 3 meters from the opposing defender, Nani did not hesitate to kick the ball with his feet!

It was a very sudden kick!

The angle was very complicated and after kicking the ball, Nani chuckled a little as if he had felt the ball was going to go into the enemy goal.

"Gushh!"

The ball flies towards the top corner of the goal!

Is Nani going to score?

Manchester United fans are crying out!

But then seeing his shot saved, Nani held his head and sighed helplessly.

His shooting strength was not very strong, which was also one of his weaknesses.

On the sidelines, a depressed Ferguson kicked the air, too bad to miss such a good opportunity to score.

Benfica coach Jesuss jumped for joy when he saw Arthur's rescue, this further boosted the morale of Benfica players.

"Lumayan!"

Standing in front of the goal, the corner of Randy's mouth curled up, and he smiled gently.

"Come, come! Ferdinand, go ahead, don't be afraid, don't be afraid of them! I'm in the back, leave the defense to me!"

Randy clapped his hands, and continued directing his teammates to reinforce the attack.

Faced with Benfica's attack, Randy again felt full of confidence.

As long as his team-mates rouse their spirits and defend with a strong heart, then he will have enough confidence to let Benfica return to nothing!

This is Randy's absolute trust.

In the 38th minute, Benfica began to counter-attack, "metronom" midfielder Aimar carried the ball forward and gave it to Saviola.

Saviola looked up, and was just about to pass the ball to Cardozo in the middle, Randy's voice immediately heard.

"Ferdinand! Watch Cardozo!"

Under Randy's command, Ferdinand immediately approached and was ready to snatch a pass from Saviola at any time.

Saviola became hesitant when he saw this, he did not know if he should keep passing the ball or not.

Due to Randy's timely reminder, Manchester United managed to steal the ball.

At the moment Benfica have two good attacks that were immediately saved indirectly by Randy.

Benfica players are getting very depressed.

"Si*lan, how does he know my next move? Could it be that his prediction is very good?!" Even Aimar's "metronome" doubted life.

Before each time he would pass the ball, the Manchester United goalkeeper reminded his team-mates to defend first.

Damn, why is there such a disgusting goalkeeper.

"Brengs*k, if replaced with a normal Manchester United defence it probably wouldn't be like this, if it wasn't for Randy keeping the Manchester United goal, the chance to beat Manchester United might have been higher, that young genius is really too powerful." Jesus felt a little dizzy and did not know what to do.

Benfica's repeated failure to threaten Manchester United's defensive line frustrated Benfica, but also made Manchester United's morale improve, and their threat was very efficient.

In the 44th minute, at the end of the first half, Ashley Young dribbled on the right side and ran down from behind the line.

He kicked the ball but was blocked by left-back Benfica Emerson.

But because of a block from Emerson, the ball bounced into the Benfica penalty area, the ball formed an arc and flew high into the middle of the penalty area field.

None of the players waiting in the middle of the penalty area can reach this pass.

But at the far end of the penalty area, Ferdinand had been getting ready, as the ball flew towards him, he jumped.

"Bombs!"

Seeing Ferdinand about to snatch a header, as soon as his head was about to hit the ball, he was immediately beaten by defender Benfica to the ground!

"Beeping!"

The referee ran over and pointed firmly at the midpoint of the penalty!

Manchester United got a superb penalty kick before the end of the first half!

During this penalty managed to score, then Manchester United can enter the second half with a superior score.

"Oh!" Manchester United fans cheered.

On the back court of Manchester United, Randy clenched his fists and cheered.

"Referee sir, this is not a foul! He stormed the ball, this was the most reasonable time for confrontation!" Veteran Aimar complained to the referee.

But the referee waved his hand, raised his finger, pointed into his eyes and said "I can see the ball very clearly! No doubt this is a violation. There's no negotiating about this penalty."

The referee's attitude looks very firm, seeing his negotiations fail, Aimar has no choice but to leave.

It's Manchester United's turn to take a penalty kick.

Rooney put the ball down at the penalty spot, took a few steps back, and stared at the goalkeeper from Benfica.

All eyes were on Rooney.

Will the ball come in?

"Bombs!"

After the run-up, Rooney took a penalty kick.

The ball flew quickly and approached the Benfica goal.

On the goal line from Benfica, Arthur held his breath, facing the flight trajectory of the ball, he suddenly jumped.

As the ball was about to fly over the goal line, Arthur stretched out his hand firmly.

The ball is approaching but Arthur's hand is also approaching the ball.

"Oh!"

Old Trafford is exploding.

"That's amazing!"

"Kiper Benfica Arthur actually saved a penalty kick from Rooney."

"Facing the penalty kick, Arthur reacted correctly and made an accurate judgment."

"He stretched out his hand and managed to save the ball from Rooney's penalty kick! He saved Benfica and saved the team from falling behind!" The commentator seemed very excited by the intensity of this match.
