Chapter 155 Helpless Failure

It should be said that Manchester United is very lucky. The Wolfsburg man's strong attack for more than ten minutes was ineffective, and Manchester United won a counterattack.

And this goal is a little too dramatic--

"Ah ha ha--" The commentator of Sky TV kept laughing. He laughed a little and had a stomachache, because the goal was too dramatic.

This is Manchester United's counterattack. Li Yu was more than 20 meters away from the goal. Suddenly, he took a long shot. The football was kicked by Ricardo Costa and bounced to one side. Rooney followed and shot. At this time, Wolfsburg's goalkeeper Benaglio had made a save on Li Yu's shot just now. Rooney's shot hit the post impartially and bounced back. Benaglio quickly jumped up to hold the football. Unexpectedly, after the football was pounced on by him, it jumped out of his arms. Madeleone, who returned to the defense, was shocked and wanted to avoid the football, but slipped. The football hit Madelon's face and entered the net.

If according to the rules, this ball should be Madelen's own goal, and it will not be counted as Rooney's account. But Madeleine now can't wait for this ball to be counted as Rooney's, because he doesn't want to be labeled as an "Oolong", which is really a terrible thing for a central defender. What's more, he scored the ball with an embarrassed face - it's really humiliating, too humiliating!

"The unlucky Madren, the unlucky Wolfsburg! Haha - they are so hit!" The commentator is still smiling heartlessly. I don't know whether the broadcast of Sky TV has received this commentary channel in Germany. If so, the commentator of Sky TV will definitely be greeted fiercely by the Wolfsburg people.

Magat's face is going to turn green. Wolfsburg has performed very well since the second half. According to this momentum, it will be a matter of time before the score is equalized. However, who would have thought that Wolfsburg is so unlucky that Manchester United scored in such an attack, and it is also Wolfsburg people. My own own own goal is really a great blow to morale!!

It's really a blow!

In the subsequent game, although the Wolfsburg team worked very hard, they still failed to score a goal. Instead, Li Yu took advantage of a direct free kick to score another goal in the 86th minute of the game, which fixed the score 3:0!

At the post-match news press conference, Wolfsburg head coach Magat seemed to be in a bad mood. He was very unconvinced and helpless about the 0:3 loss to Manchester United in this game. Magart thought that Wolfsburg was too unlucky. His original words were like this: "If both sides of the Lucky Goddess are fair, this The score of the game should be at least 2:2..."

In this regard, the English media did not save face for Magart at all, ridiculing the precarious meritorious coach for losing and having no demeanor.

However, there are not only saliva and resentment between Wolfsburg and Manchester United, but also a scene of 'friendship'. In an interview with the media after the game, Wolfsburg striker Zheko was full of praise for Li Yu's first goal for Manchester United. Wolfsburg Killing Star also said that this year's world football first Li Yu, the supernova, is the only one who is born--

"I will vote (Li Yu). Last season, his performance was phenomenal. He helped Manchester United win five championships so far in 2009, which is incredible. No one is more qualified to win the award than him."

Li Yu responded kindly to Dzeko's words. He praised Dzeko as the most threatening player in the Wolfsburg team's game. "He performed very well and put a lot of pressure on our defense, but we were more lucky that day!"

In fact, Li Yu is definitely a good person. As long as others are polite to him, he will generally be very friendly.

After a 3-0 victory over Wolfsburg in the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, on October 3, Manchester United's own home stadium, Old Trafford, ushered in the 8th round of the league's opponent Sunderland.

In the end, Manchester United drew with Sunderland 2:2 at home. With Li Yu and Rooney scoring goals, they were also taken away by Sunderland at home. After the game, all the media were talking about a question. Is Manchester United's defense swollen?

In fact, there is a problem with the guard line. As analyzed by experts, the crux is the waist. In the old saying of China, Manchester United needs to take some Liuwei Dihuang pills to tonify the waist!

"We saved a game, but we played too badly, especially the passing was not what the team I expected, and it was the whole game." The lucky score in stoppage time did not make Ferguson happy after the game, but directly poked the team's weakness. The midfield combination that lost the level after the big shift made the Red Devils maintain an unbeaten record of 41 years against Sunderland.

Since May last year, Manchester United has maintained a lineup rotation for 80 consecutive games. Ferguson's statement is, "We have the resources to win the championship again, because there are so many excellent players in the team. If we finally win the championship, this is also a rotational victory." Ferguson's rotation against the midfield is the largest. The four-man team in this game is completely different from the Champions League against Wolfsburg in the middle of the week. Giggs, who has been in good condition recently, has not even been included in the list. As a result, today's Old Trafford Stadium almost became Manchester United's nightmare theater.

The first 45 minutes are the worst half played by Manchester United in recent years. According to statistics, the team did not have a single shot in the penalty area. The only three shots were not only completed outside the penalty area, but were either blocked or hit within the goal frame. Nani and Welbeck failed to change their feelings in the frequent replacement of the two wings, but messed up their own positions. In the past, Fletcher and Scholes, who could rely on in the past, were also in the trough of their competitive state. Scholes did too little other than shoveling people and dyeing yellow. After the game, Sky TV rudely called "Ginger Head" the passing of this game was terrible. The Manchester City Evening News pointed out that Scholes' passing statistics were completely opposite to those against Stoke City, and he habitually got a card. Sure enough, the Lord midfielder replaced Scholes with Anderson, which not only prevented Manchester United's "Old Jiang" from being expelled after receiving a yellow card again, but also explained Scholes' poor performance in a euphemistic way.

It's just that Scholes is not good. Fletcher can't find the north in this game, and the pass is not in place several times. The direct result is that the team has lost possession of the ball before the team's offensive reaches the opponent's hinterland. No wonder the British media criticized the Scotsman. As a key player of Manchester United this season, Fletcher has too many self-righteous passes in this game. This should be his worst performance this season and has never won the upper hand in the confrontation. Nani and Welbeck didn't work as expected.

Although the old saying "the midfielder gets the world", it sounds a little vulgar, but it is reasonable. How can Manchester United lift the speed without the engine?

With Li Yu's goal in the last stoppage time, Manchester United drew 2-2 at home to the visiting Sunderland, avoiding the second loss of the Premier League this season.

After the game, Manchester United coach Ferguson did not say a word about the performance of the players, but directly targeted the referee Alan Willie. First of all, Ferguson believed that Willie did not give enough time for stoppage time, because Manchester United scored in stoppage time, and Willie finally gave only four minutes of stoppage time that had been determined before the goal. I'm very disappointed with the referee. He only gave us 4 minutes and 2 seconds to make up for the goal in stoppage time.

Then the Scotsman said bluntly that with Willie's physical strength, he was no longer suitable to enforce the Premier League. When he scored the second goal in the game, he left the court and went out to rest. His physical strength determines that he is not suitable for the level of law enforcement.

"The rhythm of this kind of game requires a referee who is physically strong enough. He can't do it. Foreign referees can run like hounds in the butcher's hand. We also have some such referees, but he is not. He has to show the player a yellow card in 30 seconds. He needs a rest, which is ridiculous.

Coincidentally, Alan Willie happened to be the fourth official in the Manchester derby last month. The biggest controversy in that game was also due to the stoppage time. Before the end of the 90-minute game, Willie's stoppage time was 4 minutes. After Bellamy scored in the 90th minute, the referee Atkinson appropriately extended the stoppage time, which allowed the Red Devils to have Owen's final goal in the 5th minute, and finally risked 4 to 3 Victory over Manchester City. Ferguson obviously believes that Willie should "learn" from Atkinson in the derby and leave "kill time" for Manchester United.

No matter what you say, it's useless. The game is over, and soon it will be the international match day. Manchester United players will go to their respective national teams to report. Li Yu also picked up his bags and set off this time. His destination was changed to Tehran, Iran.

Li Yu went directly to Iran to meet the team. Of course, Li Yu had to transfer many times on the way. There was no direct plane to Iran in the United Kingdom. He could only go to Saudi Arabia first, and then transfer to Iran to meet the team.

In the past two decades, Iran has been a strong team in Asian football. Especially in the World Cup qualifiers, their experience of two play-offs has made Asian football more light. In 1998, they eliminated Australia in the play-offs, and in 2002, they almost eliminated Ireland in the play-offs.

For many years, Iranian football has always given the impression of talent. In 1997, they defeated the Chinese team Ali Deyi, Achiz, Baghiri and Madavikia in Jinzhou. In 2004, they played against the Chinese team in the Asian Cup with Kalimi, Nekonan and Hashmian. Everyone was full of stars.

In this World Cup qualifiers, Ali Deyi, who has been the head coach, even re-entered Baghary, who was in his same era, into the national team. Ali-Dey's star tactics have achieved certain effects. In the first game of the top ten, he played away against Saudi Arabia. The Iranian team, which lost a goal first, was equalized by Nekonan in the 81st minute.

However, the weakness of this Iranian team is becoming more and more obvious. Due to aging, the team is more likely to rely on experience to play football, and even often can only play good half-time, and can only rely on some positioning opportunities to create killing. In addition, this kind of star tactic will inevitably have internal consumption. Among them, Calimi withdrew from the team angrily because it was not in line with Dei's tactical concept. Although the Iranian team gathered a large number of famous players, the team has never played together.

On October 15, China Hong Kong played against Iran.

Before the game, people were surprised to find that Li Yu's name did not appear in the starting lineup of the game. What happened, or did Huaxia CCTV have the privilege? They immediately got the first-hand news. Li Yu suddenly had a stomach upset before the game and was temporarily put into the substitute lineup by the head coach. What? Who knows?

Li Yu did not appear on the bench after the opening of the game. The fans were very worried about whether he could defeat his opponent without Li Yu in the Chinese Hong Kong team. Li Yu himself is not sure whether he can play now. She began to have diarrhea last night. He didn't know whether he was eating bad or not. Anyway, the other players are fine. He is the only one who has this symptom.

Although Li Yu himself wanted to play the game, Erikson must make a decision to change his starting lineup. After working hard, Li Yu still failed to start. He appeared in the TV scene accompanied by a teaching assistant 10 minutes after the start of the game. It can be clearly seen in the camera that Li Yu's face is very bad. Well, the road was not as steady and powerful as usual. Sitting on the bench, the camera aimed at him on the bench from time to time. Li Yu's face looked very calm, but she couldn't see anything, which disappointed the media.

At the beginning of the first half, Iran's momentum was very strong.

In the cheers of the enthusiastic Iranian referee fans, a fierce attack was launched at the beginning, frequently threatening the goal of the Chinese Hong Kong team.

In the 20th minute, Baghary received a cross pass from his midfield teammate, and his left foot shot on the left side of the penalty area was blocked by the central defender of China Hong Kong.

Seeing that Iran's attack was very dangerous, Eriksson's face changed, and he shouted at the team's back line. However, a few minutes later, the Iranian attack almost shocked Eriksson.

Madawikia ran and shot 24 meters from the right rib. The ball slightly touched Barrett's line change, and Fan Junye hit the near post when he touched the ball and popped up.

However, the passive Huaxia Hong Kong team scored the first goal at home in Iran.

In the 29th minute, Konka made a long pass in the backcourt, and Lambert in the middle beat the Iranian defensive player's header.

Muric stopped the ball in the chest at the front of the penalty area, and then shot the goal with his right foot from 17 meters away from the ball landing.

After scoring the goal, Muric broke free from the encirclement of his teammates, ran to the sidelines and hugged Li Yu, who jumped up. Seeing this scene, the media reporters in the press gallery were surprised, and the atmosphere in the Chinese Hong Kong team was still very good!

In the first half of the game, Huaxia Hong Kong led Iran 1-0 into the half-time break.

At this time, in the whole Chinese world, everyone is looking forward to the fact that China Hong Kong can defeat Iran away and establish a leading advantage in the group.

Liu Jianhong, the commentator of China CCTV Sports Station, is also praising the performance of the China Hong Kong team. If China Hong Kong can beat Iran 1-0 in this game, it can still be in the first place in the group in the next round, and the next game will be much easier.

Especially when Li Yu was unable to start, Erikson, the head coach of the China Hong Kong team, was also praised by the commentators at this time.

It's just that no one expected that in the second half of the game, the situation suddenly changed...

The Iranians launched two extremely effective attacks at the beginning of the second half. Only 8 minutes after the opening, the Iranian team scored two goals in a row!

At this time, the whole stadium was full of crazy cheers from Iranian fans, and hundreds of Chinese fans who came to the away game were suddenly confused and looked at the Iranians who were crazy to celebrate the goal.

China Hong Kong 1:2 Iran!

At this time, the live director pointed the camera at Li Yu on the bench, which means that the Chinese Hong Kong team, which is currently behind, needs to score a goal. At this time, will Eriksson consider replacing Li Yu?

Li Yu in the camera still looks calm, and no one knows what he wants.

What is Li Yu thinking about?

In fact, Li Yu is aiming at Erikson on the coach's seat with the corner of her eyes at this time. Although he has been tossing around all night, he can't take care of much at this time. He can't wait to play. Now that the score of the Chinese Hong Kong team is behind, it is time to need heroes. He Li Yu must make a difference at this time. .

However, Eriksson did not pay attention to Li Yu's obscure eyes. In fact, Li Yu's ability to appear on the bench is already a consideration for Swedes to need spiritual leaders. In the heart of the head coach, there is no matter for Li Yu in the last game, which is also a kind of protection for Li Yu, which is extremely weak and sick. If you play, if you are injured again, you will lose a lot, especially the importance of Li Yu in this team. It is not worth taking risks at all. There are still many games in the future.

In the 80th minute, Erikson used up three substitution places in one breath. Li Yu still did not play. He was replaced by a local striker in Hong Kong, and he was not replaced by Li Yu?

Li Yu shook her head and didn't do anything too radical. He has guessed more or less about the head coach's thoughts. He hates himself more. It's strange to say that he has gone everywhere with Manchester United before. West Asia has never been, and such a thing has never happened. Why is it this time? What about this?

In the end, Huaxia Hong Kong team lost 1:2 to Iran away and left Iran as a loser for the first time in the top ten stage. After three rounds, it continued to rank first in the group with only the advantage of goal difference. In the fourth round, this advantage is already dispensable and may slip at any time. To the third place.
