Chapter 85 The First Half of the Damn
Before the start of the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United will have to experience a series of Premier League. The opponent's strength is not weak. Tottenham Hotspur led by Lao Lei will challenge Manchester United in the 34th round away.
A focus battle is about to begin. Ferguson's intention to score three points at home is already very obvious. Li Yu and Rooney will appear on the team's front line. C Ronaldo returns to the familiar sideline. The three killers appear in the starting lineup, which has exposed Ferguson's intentions.
How powerful the Red Devil is, let Tottenham have a deep experience.
In China, domestic fans always like to call the Tottenham Hotspur led by Lao Lei a nerve knife team. It's okay to play well. If you don't play well, it's not that there has been a big score collapse. It depends on who can take the lead.
Manchester United remained unbeaten with 13 wins and 5 draws in the last 18 confrontations between the two sides. Tottenham's last victory at Old Trafford dates back to 1989, when Reinker scored the only goal. Since then, Manchester United has been unbeaten with 17 wins and 4 draws against Tottenham Hotspur in 21 home games. The two sides have had 33 Premier League games in history, with Manchester United's 23 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses, including 13 wins and 3 draws at home.
The two sides have played 168 historical games, with Manchester United with 77 wins, 45 draws and 46 losses. Giggs, who is about to play for Manchester United for the 800th time, was absent from the game, and Rafaar, Ferdinand, Carrick and Nani took turns to win the opportunity to start.
At the beginning, the two sides played a fast pace. Neither of the two teams did hold back. As soon as they came up, it was an offensive battle. Rafal and Rooney made consecutive direct passes, but Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez seized it before Li Yu.
In the 8th minute, Lennon made a cross from the right side, and Darren-Bente's header on the left edge of the penalty area hit the side net. Tottenham's offensive came mostly from two sides, especially Lennon's right side is now the direction of Tottenham's main attack.
In the 10th minute, Rafal made a cross from the right, Rooney missed the header on the edge of the penalty area, and 1 minute later, Rooney missed a long shot 30 yards away.
In the 16th minute, Carrick passed the ball, and Nani tried a long shot from 30 yards and also missed.
In the 20th minute, Li Yu used the breakthrough to cause the opponent's foul to win the free kick in front of the penalty area. C- Ronaldo shot directly from 30 yards, and the ball rebounded and was confiscated by Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez.
In the first 20 minutes, Manchester United firmly occupied the advantage on the court. It takes courage to attack against Old Trafford and Manchester United. It is not only courage but also the awareness to accept the big score.
In the 24th minute, Nani made a cross from the left, and C Ronaldo's header from 10 yards was only slightly off the goal.
In the 26th minute, Woodgate fouled Nani in front of the penalty area. C- Ronaldo's free kick at 25 yards was blocked by the wall. Maybe Manchester United should consider letting Li Yu come to take the free kick. Today, C Ronaldo's free kick performance is really not flattering.
In the 27th minute, Carrick passed the ball and Rooney shot high at 25 yards on the right side.
Manchester United, which had a 7-foot shot, failed to open Tottenham's goal, but was led by Tottenham in the 29th minute. Joel Luca made a cross from the right, Vidić took the top, and Darren Bent grabbed the ball before Ferdinand and scored from the edge of the penalty area.
Manchester United fell behind Tottenham Hotspur 0:1 at home. Tottenham Hotspur's second shot opened Manchester United's goal. I have to say that Tottenham's bet was right, but Manchester United was a little unlucky.
However, Manchester United's doom doesn't seem to be over. Just 3 minutes later, Tottenham expanded the lead again in the 32nd minute. Lennon made a cross after breaking through on the right side, and Modric shot his left foot into the near corner 10 yards away.
0:2, the score does not match the real scene at all. Manchester United, the main attacker, is 2 goals behind.
Who would have thought that Manchester United, which had been attacking fiercely, not only did not take the lead, but was scored two goals in a row by Tottenham Hotspur. Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar roared angrily, and Ferguson couldn't sit still and rushed to the sidelines and waved his hand to signal the players to stabilize first.
Li Yu stood in the middle circle again and prepared to kick off. He was actually a little angry that he didn't score before. Looking at Manchester United's previous shots, he knew that it was almost all long-range shots. Obviously, they could pass it again, but they chose a long-range shot, while Li Yu himself did not shoot a shot. The offensive came out, but it was always a tiger's head. Snake tail.
"Spend more, and you will have a good chance to shoot again!" Li Yu finally reminded Rooney beside him before kicking off.
The little fat man looked up at Li Yu and nodded, indicating that he understood that Manchester United's attack was very smooth at the beginning, and Rooney was more or less casual. Now that he is 2 goals behind, he must cherish every opportunity to attack. In fact, he will pay attention to it without Li Yu's reminder.
After losing two goals in a row, Manchester United's offensive was full of momentum, but unfortunately, they have never been able to rewrite the score. Manchester United fans are also struggling to cheer for the home team Manchester United. Old Trafford is completely occupied by the deafening loud cheering.
For their sake, Manchester United players also want to catch up with the ball in the first half.
The front line began to cherish the opportunity, but the defenders are still showing their bad shooting skills.
In the 36th minute, Rafal's long-range shot was once again confiscated by the Tottenham goalkeeper. A minute later, Woodgate got a yellow card for a foul against C Ronaldo. The Portuguese's free kick was blocked, and his volley was saved by Gomez.
Li Yu has been holding his breath, and it is no wonder that he is angry. Today's Manchester United cooperation has not been smooth. Li Yu was on the front line in the first half and did not get the support of his teammates at all. She ran out of a good position several times, but her teammates chose a long shot.
In the last free kick, he originally wanted to take the penalty, but Ronaldo C didn't even give Li Yu the opportunity to fight for, so he took the penalty.
"It's so hot!" Li Yu gasped for breath. This is not that he is already unable to support his physical ability. He wants to calm himself down by taking a deep breath. At this time, there can't be a discordant voice in the team, and the overall situation is important, so he can only endure it.
Entering the final stage of the first half, Li Yu still had no chance to perform. In the first half, he said that he almost disappeared on the court and had no chance to play at all. In such a game, who is not anxious to play?
In the 41st minute, Janus was warned with a yellow card for a tackle foul on Fletcher.
In the 45th minute, Roby Keane passed the ball, and Palacios volley in front of the penalty area was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Manchester United seemed to be aggressive in the first half, but the real threatening shooting opportunity did not appear. It was a long shot and a free kick. Ferguson took the lead in entering the locker room with a bad face. The players also realized that the boss was extremely dissatisfied in the first half. Generally speaking, Ferguson would stay at the door of the player's channel and his starting teammates. Shake hands, wait until all the players enter the channel, and then go in.
"Are you playing the game?" Ferguson waited until the starter entered the door and shouted directly, "Premier League game? Shit, this TMD is an amateur game, a game played by a group of amateur players, shit! That's an attack. Don't let me see a lame long-range shot in the second half..."
"Papa... Bang!" Ferguson knocked on the tactical board angrily, and the old man's temper came up.
"There is no shot in the penalty area. What did you do on the woman's belly last night? Don't you have the strength to enter the restricted area again?"
Rooney has never looked up, and Ronaldo looked down at the floor like a child who made a mistake.
Li Yu saw Ferguson angry for the first time. Compared with her anger, Ferguson was simply an erupting volcano. Whoever came forward would be unlucky. Li Yu also looked at her boots honestly and acted as a good baby.
"LEE!! Are you a striker or a mute?
A sudden roar scared Li Yu to almost slip out of her seat. It was really scary, "Boss, I'm not dumb!"
"So you are the striker?"
"Yes, boss!" Li Yu never dared to look up at Ferguson, and her voice trembled a little when she lowered her head.
"TMD, answer my question loudly like a woman!"
Li Yu raised her head and repeated loudly, "Boss, I'm a striker, not a woman!"
"Okay, then kick me like a striker!" Ferguson then began to shout his names in turn. The people who were called were all excited before they began to answer questions.
However, with Li Yu's lesson, they answered loudly for fear that the old man would treat them as women.
Rooney and Ronaldo did not escape. Although the two of them seemed to have a hot temper outside, Ferguson was still like a little sheep, honest.
"Since what the hell are you doing, then play well in the second half, kick with your brain, fall in front of the penalty area, and patiently look for opportunities. Tottenham is also lucky. What I want to say in the second half is to let Tottenham have bad luck and attack me!" Ferguson talks about general tactics. The only thing that Ferguson focuses on is Lennon, the right side of Tottenham Hotspur, and Carrick will focus on defending this side.
At the beginning of the second half, Tevez replaced Nani, who also performed poorly in the first half. This made Li Yu feel a little relieved. At first, she thought that she was going to be replaced. Now it seems that the old man still left face for him, but if he did not perform well in the second half, he was not sure.
Ferguson is going to kill him. All the front lines are sent to the court. After the appearance, the Manchester United players are not like the children who have just been scolded, but more like the warriors who want revenge. They appear on the court one by one, and they want to vent all their anger on Tottenhampur.
Chinese fans are very optimistic. They also found a gimmick, and they don't know which fan posted such a post on the forum, "Manchester United's front line F4 is all played this time. It's not to watch the meteor shower together, but to watch the big counterattack together."
Is it a Jedi counterattack?
