Chapter 650
Chapter 650
Manchester City leads Manchester United 2-1, and the Blue Moon fans in the stands of Wembley Stadium can't help but shout in unison.
"Su!!"
"Su!!"
"Su!!"
Su Fei stood in the corner area, opened his arms, and enjoyed the devout enthusiasm of the believers. Beside him, his Manchester City teammates were also excited, shoulder to shoulder.
Ferguson was angry, and he also shouted at Hargreaves.
"Why?!"
"Why!!"
The replay on the big screen clearly showed how empty Su Fei was around him when he shot.
And there.
Hargreaves should have appeared.
Ferguson can tolerate you not being able to defend this terrifying monster, but he can't tolerate the players not following their pre-match arrangements.
Substitution!
Ferguson waved his hand and called Paul Scholes on the bench.
Today.
He has lost patience with the "returning migrant worker" on the court who he had high hopes for and hoped would become the team's main defensive midfielder in the new season.
The fourth official raised the substitution sign.
Hargreaves lowered his head and ran off the court.
The Red Devils fans in the stands had complicated expressions. They were also full of expectations for this defensive midfielder who was bought from Bayern at a high price.
However.
The facts are cruel.
Hargreaves still needs time to adapt to the process from the Bundesliga to the Premier League, or to adapt to the Premier League dominated by the magic Su.
Snap... Snap...
There was no booing, no cheering.
Only some fans gave Hargreaves sparse applause.
Ferguson glared at Hargreaves fiercely.
Even if he was a newcomer to the team.
"Tyrant" Ferguson would not give him any good face when he performed poorly.
This is his style of ruling.
Hargreaves, who returned to the bench, covered his face with a towel and immersed himself in the blow.
...........................................................
The game was restarted in the middle circle, and the referee blew the second kick-off whistle of the second half, and Manchester United had the ball.
Rooney kicked the ball to Tevez next to him.
Tevez hesitated for a moment and passed the ball to Carrick behind him to organize.
As Manchester United's summer newcomer.
Carlos Tevez is also under great pressure now.
He is very afraid of being the next player to be replaced by Ferguson. The game has been going on for 70 minutes.
He is Rooney's striker partner.
There is no outstanding performance either.
So far, 3 shots and 0 shots.
He also wasted a good opportunity to shoot directly in the penalty area.
Ferguson, who was gloomy on the sidelines of the court, added another point to his pressure.
Becoming a Red Devil means glory.
But it also means responsibility...
"Manchester United was very patient after the restart."
"Or so."
"More cautious."
"They were behind, they wanted to equalize, but they were also worried about the risk of Manchester City's quick counterattack after losing the ball."
"Carrick."
"Passed the ball horizontally to Brown who was advancing on the right."
"Manchester United is arranging their offensive formation."
"This is Manchester City."
"After taking the lead, they quickly changed their strategy, reduced high-pressure, retreated the formation, and came to the 70th minute."
"Both sides gave up high-risk behavior."
...........................................................
76th minute of the game.
Veteran Scholes, who came on as a substitute, made a contribution.
A long diagonal pass from the center circle accurately found Ronaldo who rushed into the attacking third zone on the left.
If.
There is no one in this Manchester United team who has not been affected by the huge pressure.
It must be Ronaldo.
He has experienced so many failures and setbacks, and his heart is as solid as a rock.
Ronaldo easily took off Scholes' long pass.
Pepe immediately came up.
Enemies meet.
They were extremely jealous.
Ronaldo pushed and pulled the ball continuously, making fake moves.
Pepe was not fooled.
He chose to move closer and got close to Ronaldo, holding Ronaldo with his hands, while stretching out his legs to try to steal the ball.
"Ronaldo and Pepe had a physical fight!"
"The two of them had a fierce confrontation!"
"Since the start of the game."
"There has been constant friction between the two."
"Look at this ball..."
Watching it.
Ronaldo was about to be forced out of the sideline.
He suddenly raised his foot and pulled it.
Pepe dodgedNot in time.
The football hit Pepe's calf and bounced out of the sideline.
"Fogo!" (Fuck!)
Pepe cursed subconsciously in Portuguese and looked at Ronaldo fiercely.
"Ronaldo, you only know these childish tricks, right?"
"It's your own fault that you reacted too slowly!"
Ronaldo immediately retorted, quickly picked up the football, threw it hard, and passed it to Evra who was advancing behind him.
Then.
Ronaldo ran along the sideline, raised his hand to signal, and successfully received the return pass from Evra.
But in an instant.
Pepe stuck to him from the side again, blocking Ronaldo's cross route, and continued to make small movements with his hands.
"Pepe is really fighting with Ronaldo!"
"Ronaldo!!"
"Suddenly stopped the ball and got rid of it!"
"Trying to change the line and cut inside!"
"Pepe!!"
"Chasing and sliding!"
"Counter-stealing!"
"The referee didn't blow the whistle!"
"Ball possession exchanged!"
"Pepe's defense is really strong. In the previous 5 battles in Manchester, although Manchester City won in the end, Ronaldo's performance has always been excellent. Today, Pepe made him a little silent."
-[You really don't say it. Today, Ronaldo didn't seem to play much except for that super free kick. ]
-[31 million defensive midfielder, it's useful. ]
-[What kind of wave is this? Fellow villagers meet, and shoot from the back! ]
-[Haha awesome, just play like this, as long as you limit Ronaldo, Manchester United can't make a splash. 】
..............................................................
The scene of Pepe defending Ronaldo became a microcosm of the next 10 minutes of the game.
Manchester United was able to send the ball to the front court through some precise long passes from Scholes and Carrick.
However, the timely assistance and backup of Manchester City's double defensive midfielders Pepe and Martinez on the wing successfully limited Manchester United's offensive tactics of flying on both wings.
Manchester United with its "wings" taken off.
Like a fledgling that can't fly, it can only sigh in despair in front of Manchester City's defense line that is like a city wall.
86 minutes.
88 minutes.
90 minutes.
The fourth official raised the 5-minute injury time sign.
The game is nearing the end.
The players on both sides are also exhausted in the fierce confrontation and long-distance raids.
Every dead ball stage.
You can see many players holding their knees to breathe and rest.
In the stands.
The Red Devils fans became quieter, and many of them repeatedly looked up at the despairing 1-2.
One goal difference.
So close yet so far away.
In the injury time, Manchester City, under the command of Guardiola, set up a bus defense in front of the goal.
The Spaniard's current coaching style is still relatively conservative.
Never waste when leading.
"Beep! Beep--"
As the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Manchester United was like an exhausted warrior, still falling in front of Manchester City's strict defense.
"Na na na na na na hey Jude~"
"Na na na na na na hey Jude~"
"Na na na na na na hey Jude~"
The sky above Wembley Stadium was instantly covered by the passionate celebration song "Hey Jude" of the Blue Moon fans.
On the court.
Manchester United players fell to the ground helplessly.
On the other side.
The players, coaches and staff on the Manchester City bench, led by Guardiola, rushed onto the field to celebrate.
Today.
The sky in London is also blue!
