Chapter 788 Melly’s lifelong enemy
Ramon Cantero ran diagonally from the wing to the center in the frontcourt, while turning his head to observe the situation behind him while running.
His teammate Kendall Kabangka was dribbling the ball through the middle, attracting most of the Leeds defenders.
So Cantero raised his arm and signaled Kabangka to pass the ball to him.
In front of Kabangka was Leeds City center back Ben Grist. He lowered his center of gravity and opened his arms slightly, lying in front of Kabangka like a wall.
Passing the football out was the best option at this time, so Kabangka also raised his right foot and used the instep of his outside foot to move towards the football, as if to pass the football out.
Seeing this, Grist moved his weight over there.
But this time Kabangka was just a feint.
The outside instep of his right foot did touch the football, and Grist shifted his focus only after seeing the football move.
As a result, at this moment, Kabangka's right foot was like a whip, and the inside of his foot slammed the football back!
"Oh oh oh! Here it comes!! Kabangka's stunt - running with the cow's tail at high speed!!" Cox shouted excitedly when he saw this scene.
At the same time, 53,000 Manchester Athletic fans screamed loudly in the stands of the Shuttlefield, cheering for Kabangka's miraculous feat.
This is Kabangka's signature passing move, and it is also the scene that Manchester Athletic fans like to see the most.
In front of an extraordinary player like Kabangka, Bengrist, who was originally slow to turn around, was as bulky as a rusty tin man. He could only watch the Brazilian genius pass by him. His outstretched arms didn't even grab the opponent's jersey...
Even because he turned too fast, his feet got mixed up and he fell to the ground.
Seeing him fall to the ground, the Manchester Athletic fans in the stands cheered even louder.
There was also some laughter mixed in.
"Oh oh oh oh oh!" Cox became excited, "It's too cruel! It's too cruel! In front of Kabangka's impact, Ben Grist was like a felled tree! Leeds City's The defense was penetrated so easily by Kabangka! Now only Leeds City goalkeeper Van Dewen is left in front of him! He has already abandoned the goal!"
Cantero also slowed down when he saw this. He knew that in this situation, it was absolutely impossible for Kabangka to pass the football to him again...
Sure enough, Kabangka chose a cool kick amid huge cheers.
The football passed high over the head of Van Der Ven, who was attacking. Van Der Ven couldn't even make a jump to save. He could only look up and watch the football fly into the goal behind him...
"Kendor Kabonka!! A beautiful individual performance, he helped Manchester United surpass the score again!"
Amid thunderous cheers, the real-time score on the big screen changed.
From the previous 2:2 to the latest 3:2, Manchester Athletic at home is in the lead!

"What a beautiful goal! I bet it will be played over and over again after the game... Leeds City centre-back Ben Grist provided the perfect backdrop for Kabunka's genius performance ...But this goal cannot be blamed on Grist. When Leeds City needs to let Grist face the full-speed sprinting Kabangka alone in defense, this means that their entire team's defensive system has been broken up..." Even He who is on Leeds City's side Feng also had to admit that Leeds City made a mistake in defending this ball.
But what can be done.
Leeds City was originally attacking at that time. Under continuous attacks, Leeds City's two full-backs pressed past the center line.
As a result, at this moment, Manchester United intercepted the ball and made a counterattack.
Both Cantero and Kabangka in the frontcourt are extremely fast players.
At that time, apart from goalkeeper Van de Ven, Leeds City's backcourt only had two central defenders, Grist and Bradford.
In a two-on-two situation, let Kabangka use his excellent foot skills in high-speed sprints to defeat Leeds City's two central defenders one by one.
He staged a wonderful solo breakthrough, leaving the other Leeds City players who returned to defense with a dashing figure.
After scoring the goal, Kabangka rushed to the corner flag area and danced a samba dance to celebrate.
As the closest teammate to him, although Cantero regretted that he failed to score, he still ran over to hug him in celebration.
Of course he has to compete with Hu Lai, but before that, the team's victory is more important. Otherwise, even if he scores more goals than Juleid, if the team loses the game, wouldn't he still be a loser in the end?
"He is indeed a genius Kabangka who can be as famous as Meili..." Yan Kang sighed. "He can still perform extremely difficult passing maneuvers like the cow's tail while sprinting... His muscle strength is really strong! Against such a strong opponent, Leeds City can still beat them well in the away game. Reply, it’s already very good..."
He's right.
Before Kabonka broke out, the score was 2:2. Leeds City fell behind twice in the game and tied twice again, showing very tenacious performance.
Of course it is a pity to concede the goal this time, but we cannot blame the Leeds City players too harshly. Their performance was good enough.

After Jay Adams, who failed to catch up on defense, pulled Ben Gries up, he patted his shoulder to comfort him: "This is not your problem, Ben. There are few people in the entire Premier League who can do one-on-one. Prevent Kabangka from sprinting at full speed..."
After hearing this, Ismail Kamara stared at the Brazilian who scored the goal with unfriendly eyes.
Boss Clark once said that his 30-meter sprint speed can rank among the top three in the Premier League, but it is not the first.
He asked his boss at that time: "Who is number one?"
"Kabonca, the Brazilian from Manchester United." This was the boss's answer.
Today he finally saw the Premier League's top speed in the game.
He had to admit, it was really quick. But he was not convinced.
Especially when he heard the roar of laughter from the stands after his teammate Ben was knocked to the ground by Kabangka, he became even more unconvinced.
What's so great about it, isn't it just toying with your opponent?
So will I!

Following the agreement with his friend Cantero, Mellie Banega sat in front of the TV to watch the game.
As a result, it has been seventy minutes so far, and he has not seen Cantero's goal, but he has seen the "famous scene" of his old enemy Kabangka...
This made him curl his lips.
If he hadn't known that Cantero was Argentinian, he would have doubted whether his friend had been bribed by Kabangka and came specifically to let him witness Kabangka's wonderful performance...
Mery Banega is also Argentinian, and Kendall Cabanca is Brazilian.
Argentines and Brazilians are at odds with each other in football.
So as super geniuses in their respective countries' football and representatives of the younger generation, the relationship between the two is naturally not good.
After all, there is direct competition.
In addition, the fans of the two people are making headlines on the Internet and in the media all day long. It would be damning if the two people could become good friends who cherish each other.
However, the two people knew this very well, but they never publicly expressed this hostile sentiment. So no one actually knows that the two of them don't deal with each other. Even his friend Ramon Cantero, Melly didn't say anything.
Fans of the two have been quarreling all day long on the Internet, and some objective and neutral people will criticize these fans. "One day, Meili and Kabangka met on the road with their dogs. The two greeted each other warmly, but the two "The dogs are barking at each other under the influence of their owners", as if the two people have a good relationship, this tense situation is all created by fans.
But in fact, the two of them just don't look like fans because of their appearance. It doesn't mean that they won't call each other "MMP" when they say hello...
Melly's starting point for coming to Europe to play football is higher than that of Kabangca. He was spotted by the world's top giants, the Kings of Madrid, directly from Argentina. It can be said that he comes from a famous family.
Kabangka’s road to Europe was relatively tortuous. After rising to prominence in Brazil at the age of sixteen, his first stop in Europe was not the current Manchester United club, but the mid-range Bundesliga team Brinkmann. However, he only stayed at Brinkmann for one year and did not perform well. Not ideal. Manchester Athletic Club was very optimistic about his talent and brought him to the shuttle field on a rent-to-buy basis. He also achieved rapid success here and became the unshakable main core of this Premier League giant.
Although he encountered setbacks when he first landed in Europe, the Brazilian has never concealed his ambition to become the number one player in world football. This of course made Melli, who has the same ambition, regard him as his number one competitor - because Melli Li knew that Kabangka really had this strength.
The two have faced each other in the Champions League and the national team competition. As strong as Melli, it is difficult to get an advantage in Kabangka. Both sides have wins and losses.
The two of them, who are similar in age, are naturally regarded by the media and the public as candidates for future football superstars.
As long as you are not injured, this fierce confrontation will probably last for many years...
Now looking at Kabangka who was smiling happily, Melly couldn't help but want to turn off the TV.
He hasn't taken revenge yet, so why did he let the Brazilians show off in front of Hu Lai first?
Melly suddenly didn't want Cantero's Manchester United team to defeat Leeds City, because in this case, Kabangka would become the biggest contributor to the victory and be praised by the media.
How could Hu Lai, who was able to defeat me in the Olympics, be defeated by Kabangka?
Doesn't that mean I lost to Kabangka indirectly?
No, absolutely not!
Looking at Hu Lai appearing on the TV screen, Melly frowned and shook his head.
Hu Lai, show your ability to defeat me!
Stop being invisible!
So far, your teammates have scored two goals, but you haven't scored a single goal!
The Argentinian genius seemed even more anxious than Hulay. (End of chapter)
