Chapter 068 Incredible Opening
In fact, at this time, the competition between Zhang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo is in a white-hot stage.
This kind of competition is in the competition for the 2008 European Golden Globe Awards!
French Football announced the top five players who entered the European Golden Globe Awards this year, namely Zhang Yang of Manchester City, Chris of Manchester United, Torres of Liverpool, Messi of Barcelona and Casillas of Real Madrid.
Among them, Torres and Casillas can be selected into the top five. In the opinion of many people, the reason is that Spain won the European Cup this summer. Among these five people, these two are the most glorious in the country. Of course, Torres and Casillas also performed quite well in the club.
As for Messi, although he performed very well in last season's La Liga and the Champions League, Barcelona was eliminated by AC Milan in the Champions League, and Barcelona was not able to defend its title in La Liga. However, after the start of the new season, Messi and Barcelona performed quite well.
Although the final result has not yet been announced, in the eyes of many media and fans, both Messi, Torres or Casillas are the role of 'reading with the prince'. The real competition takes place between Zhang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo.
And because the two now play for Manchester City and Manchester United respectively, the English media is more interested in regard this year's European Golden Globe Award as the 'Manchester Derby'.
And "French Football" does not seem to shy away from the speculation of the media. They used a large amount of space to report on the brilliant resumes of the two stars in the latest issue of the journal!
Cristiano Ronaldo: Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985 in the Madeira Islands in Portugal. In August 2003, Cristiano Ronaldo joined Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon for 12.24 million pounds. Ferguson was only 18 years old at that time. The young man entrusted him with the No. 7 jersey of Beckham, who had just transferred to Real Madrid.
The 2007-08 season was C-Ronaldo's best season for Manchester United. He scored 42 goals for Manchester United in all competitions, including 31 goals in 34 Premier League games and 8 goals in the Champions League, winning the Premier League Golden Boot Award. Manchester United also won the Premier League and the Champions League double. In the European Cup held in June, C. Ronaldo led Portugal to the quarter-finals, but lost to the runner-up Germany by 2-3. He scored a goal in the group match against the Czech Republic. Before the Golden Globe Awards were announced, he had been selected as the 2008 FIFPro Footballer of the Year by the International Players Federation and won the 2008 World Footballer of the Year by the British World Football magazine selected by fans around the world.
Zhang Yang: Zhang Yang was born in a small town in China on October 1, 1986. In August 2007, Zhang Yang joined the Italian giant AC Milan from Marseille for 43 million euros. As soon as he came to AC Milan in his first season, Zhang Yang showed his football talent to the whole Apennine Peninsula. He scored 43 goals in Serie A this season and won the Serie A Golden Boot by breaking the scoring record. In the Champions League, Zhang Yang also scored 15 goals. He broke Altafini's Champions League goal record for half a century. Zhang Yang also won the Champions League Golden Boot and European Golden Boot. Europe's striker of the year. In Serie A, AC Milan also won the league championship with their outstanding performance. In the Champions League, they reached the top four and lost to Manchester United at the foot of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The media generally believes that Zhang Yang's AC Milan was eliminated by Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United, which is also the biggest obstacle for Zhang Yang to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo for this year's European Golden Globe Award. Cristiano Ronaldo led Manchester United all the way and finally reached the top of Europe at the Lujniki Stadium in Moscow, which is the Portuguese's biggest capital compared to Zhang Yang!
In terms of personal data, Zhang Yang is ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, and the number of goals in the league. Because the two play in different leagues, it is not comparable. However, Zhang Yang got the European Golden Boot, and in the points of the European Golden Boot, Cristiano Ronald is immediately behind him. In addition, in the Champions League, Zhang Yang ranked first with 15 goals, and the second place was Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored eight goals.
Therefore, from the data, Zhang Yang's performance is better than that of Cristiano Ronaldo.
It is precisely because the two sides have their own advantages and disadvantages that this year's European Golden Globe Award is also considered to be the most fierce competition, which is in sharp contrast to the European Golden Globe Award last year.
In a few days, when the 2008 European Golden Globe Awards were about to be announced, and when the competition between Zhang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo reached a white-hot stage, the Manchester derby was ushered in the 2008/2009 Premier League.
The degree of attention to this derby can be imagined.
The media has been discussing who is better between Zhang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo and who can win this year's European Golden Globe Award. They are looking forward to the battle and quarrel between Zhang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, it was not Zhang Yang or Cristiano Ronaldo who fired the first shot, but Alex, the godfather of Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson.
On the third day after Manchester City's -6-two victory over Arsenal, Ferguson decided to use the psychological warfare he was best at in an interview with the BBC.
He declared, "In my opinion, there is no need to discuss (about who will win the 2008 European Golden Globe Award). Cristiano Ronaldo was last season and the best player of the whole year. Manchester United is also the European champion. Cristiano Ronaldo deserves it. Trophy, don't forget that Cristiano Ronaldo has eliminated the publicity.
Ferguson used Manchester United's elimination of AC Milan last season to further stimulate publicity.
After learning about the remarks of Manchester United's godfather, Zhang Yang did not show any weakness and immediately replied, "Even in Milan, if a game is the winner, we have already won the right to qualify at Old Trafford. I am now a Manchester City player, and I'm thinking about the next game. We have confidence in winning Manchester United. I know that the old man is afraid of our current state.
The two sides began a war of words through the big mouths of the media, which was very interesting. Ferguson did not choose with his colleague Mark. Hughes fought, but had a quarrel with the player Zhang Yang.
From the war of words between the two people, outsiders saw that the eyes were full of smoke. Ferguson did not mean to show mercy to a young player, and Zhang Yang did not mean to respect the old at all in his words.
It really doesn't show that their personal relationship is relatively harmonious... Ferguson once invited Zhang Yang for coffee, and Zhang Yang also invited the Lord to taste Chinese green tea.
Now, Zhang Yang's identity is a Manchester City player, the flag of this team, and Ferguson is the godfather of Manchester United and the pillar of this team!
Ferguson and Zhang Yang's battle grabbed the scene, which made some reporters think otherwise. They ran to interview him and wanted to hear his views on the upcoming Manchester derby. Cristiano Ronaldo didn't seem to be fooled: "It's just an ordinary league. The league is long, and not a certain game is decisive.
Although everyone knows that Cristiano Ronaldo is telling the truth, this game is really just a league. However, the media is obviously not satisfied. This is not in line with Cristiano Ronaldo's personality. Is this still the proud Cristiano Ronaldo? Has he changed his character?
Immediately, the reporter changed the topic and asked.
"Who do you think will win this year's European Golden Globe Award?" The reporter asked.
"To be honest, yes, I'm very confident. If you look at my overall performance last season, I think I did better than anyone else. Do you need to do anything else to win the Golden Globe Award and the World Footballer of the Year? I'm very calm. There are two or three players who are qualified to win the Golden Globe Award, especially Zhang Yang. He performed well, but if you re-examine last season's performance, I think I have done more than anyone else. Regarding the reporter's question, although he knew that the reporter deliberately asked this question, the proud Cristiano Ronaldo chose to speak his heart.
In his heart, he thought that he performed well enough to win the prize, so he would not pretend to be modest and deliberately praise his opponent.
The reporter was overjoyed and knew that Cristiano Ronaldo would not be silent on this issue.
However, the media are not satisfied. Now, Cristiano Ronaldo has only responded to the question of the Golden Globes. However, for the upcoming Manchester derby, it seems to be more modest. This is not possible. They need more hot reports, so they ran to ask Rooney. Rooney is much more popular than Cristiano Ronaldo: "There is no doubt that we will win. All the fans have to do is watch us win and cheer at Old Trafford. I know that Zhang Yang is in good shape, but my condition is not bad. They can beat Arsenal, which is indeed a good job, but we are not Arsenal.
Well, it's worthy of being a grumpy Rooney. What did the little fat man say? Rooney's words not only made Manchester City people unhappy, but also made Arsenal sarcastic.
After asking Rooney, the reporter found another person, that is, Berbatov. Why did he find Berbatov? This is because, although Berbatov finally joined Manchester United this summer, the media generally believed that Berbatov was a stand-in for Zhang Yang. After the end of Lord Fert, Manchester United finally focused all their attention on Berbatov and introduced the Bulgarian striker.
And since the beginning of the season, the media has also been using the word ' flamboyant stand-in' to describe Berbatov, which is obviously a humiliating name, so that Berbatov, who has always been good-tempered, has long been very unhappy.
"Who do you think is the most threatening team?" The reporter asked Berbatov, which is obviously an implication. After all, everyone on earth knows that Zhang Yang is the number one star in the Manchester City team. The reporter asked Berbatov on purpose. They knew that Bulgarians would be stimulated by this problem.
Sure enough, when he heard this question, Berbatov, who had always been honest, couldn't help but rush away. His forehead was hot, and a word came out. His answer was: "The whole team is not a threat. We will definitely win the game!"
Well, we have to admit that Berbatov was fooled by reporters. They know that Bulgarians are very ** about the word 'proutious spare tire', and especially ask him that question. This is to stimulate Berbatov. They expect Bulgarians to say wrong words after being ashamed and angry. Now, reporters It's done.
They immediately hyped up Berbatov's words and enlarged them infinitely.
Things have changed to this point, and there have been interesting changes. Originally, the reporters were going to provoke the war between Zhang Yang and Cristiano, but now, at this time, the most controversial thing is the words of the ' honest man' Berbatov.
The purpose of the media hype has been successful.
After media publicity and a certain amplification, the people of Manchester City know what Berbatov said.
Obviously, Berbatov's words annoyed the Manchester City players. After a 6-12 victory over Arsenal at home, the whole team was full of confidence. At this time, some people in Manchester United looked down on Manchester City so much, and the anger of the Manchester City players could be imagined.
Wright. Phillips was the first to stand up and express his dissatisfaction with Berbatov: "At the end of the game, I hope he can still laugh out loud."
Robinho has also integrated into the team at this time. Berbatov's words made him angry. What's more, Berbatov said that no one in the Manchester City team is enough to pose a threat to Manchester United. Naturally, he is unhappy. "He should be glad that he is not a defender, otherwise, I will make him cry."
Poor Berbatov felt something was wrong after saying this, but he didn't expect that the impact of this matter would be so great, which was equivalent to stabing Manchester City's hornet's nest. The Manchester City players, one by one, seemed to see the bull of the bullfighting cloth, raised their horns to attack him. Hit.
Zhang Yang is being pestered by the media. On the one hand, he wants to fight back to Ferguson, and on the other hand, he has to answer what he thinks of Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney's words. Now, he is asked what he thinks about Berbatov's words. Zhang Yang has been irritable for a long time. He said directly, "I believe he has no intention. Yes, this sentence may have a misinterpreted meaning, but I have to say that sometimes, if you say it, you have to be responsible!"
Zhang Yang did not say that he took any responsibility, but the reporters were very happy. They believed that they had understood the meaning behind Zhang Yang's words.
As for Manchester City head coach Mark. Hughes, although the Welshman is not the protagonist, how can he be the head coach of Manchester City at this time, Mark. Hughes was also asked to answer what he thought of the game. The Welshman's answer was very heroic. "Before the game against Arsenal, no one was optimistic about us. Now, I don't know how many people are optimistic about us, but what I want to say is that we don't need to care about anyone's opinion, because I believe that Manchester City can get from Old Trafford. De Stadium left proudly!"
Proudly leaving from Old Trafford Stadium? Does it mean to win Manchester United away from home or get a draw?
These are not important. The important thing is that after a world-renowned victory against Arsenal, Mark. Mr. Hughes also seemed to burst into great pride. He really started to be like the head coach of a rich family, at least at some point.
For Mark. Manchester United immediately took over Hughes's words.
Alex. Sir Alex Ferguson said contemptuously that Manchester City had not woken up from the dream of playing with Arsenal, and he didn't mind letting the boys teach Manchester City a good lesson.
The words of the coaches, the words of the players, and the supporters of both sides are endless. These are all for the upcoming war, and there is enough warm-up. It is like a foreshadowing before the start of a big drama. Once the preparation is to a certain extent, it is the arrival of GAOCHAO.
On November 29, 2008, the 15th round of the 2008/2009 Premier League, Manchester Derby.
Manchester United ushered in Manchester City at their home stadium, Old Trafford.
Before the game, countless expert fans analyzed that Manchester City will fight back defensively at Old Trafford. After all, no team dares to fight against Manchester United here. In that case, the result is without exception, and they all die miserably... Look at the names of the stars in Manchester United. Whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney or Nani or even veteran Giggs, this is a sharp weapon to fight back. Whoever dares to fight against Manchester United is definitely looking for a dead end.
However, this time, I don't know if it's because of Manchester City's abnormal attack in the game against Arsenal, but it won a fantastic 6-2 victory for Mark. Hughes is still fascinated by Mark. Hughes saw from that long game that Manchester City was indeed suitable for attack. Anyway, in this game with Manchester United, he also put forward the unusual tactic of attacking away from home and Manchester United.
In the visiting team locker room at Old Trafford Stadium. Manchester City head coach Mark. Hughes is making the final pre-war mobilization of the whole team.
"It's still the same sentence. In this game, we will attack." Mark. Hughes looked around his players and emphasized again.
"I bet Ferguson wouldn't have thought we had the courage to do so. So I ask all of you to suppress the attack and take the lead at the beginning. The earlier we score, the better for us. That's all, Mark. Hughes paused for a moment, "Do you remember our match with Arsenal?"
"Of course I remember!" Someone replied.
"Just like the game with Arsenal, we will play like that. In this game, Manchester United is at home, and they will not be conservative, so this game is time to test the quality of the attack."
"Coach, as you said, Manchester United will also attack wildly. So, if Manchester United gets the first goal, what should we do?" Manchester City captain Richard. Dunn said. He is the central defender of the team and the core of the team's defense. Naturally, he has to consider the defense first. In fact, Dunn's problem is by no means aimless. With Manchester United's attack ability, Manchester United is indeed likely to score the first goal.
"Naturally, we will continue to attack." Mark. Before Hughes could speak, Zhang Yang stood up and answered, "We are all behind in the score. Naturally, we have to strengthen the attack and try to equalize the score."
Hearing Zhang Yang's words, Deng En smiled and was not annoyed. As the flag of the team, Zhang Yang naturally has the right to speak. However, Dunn still wants to get the answer from the head coach, because from the perspective of the defender, Dunn doesn't agree with Zhang Yang's answer, because when the opponent scores a goal and the offensive is strong, if he is desperate to counterattack, it is possible for the opponent to seize the opportunity again and continue to expand the score. In this case, it is dangerous, and this possibility exists to a considerable extent.
Mark. Hughes's answer also expressed that he agreed with Zhang Yang's intention, that is, in this game, Manchester City is to attack, no matter what the situation is, to attack.
Ferguson did not expect that Manchester City would dare to fight against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
If in the game with Arsenal, at Manchester City's home, Manchester City dares to attack, Ferguson is a little surprised, but he is still not so surprised. After all, Manchester City is a famous home dragon. They also have such a shooter, and naturally they have the capital to attack at home.
However, the word home dragon is usually followed by a word, that is, 'away bug'.
Manchester City's away record has always been bad. In this case, although it has improved this season, the games against Bolton and Middlesbrough still exposed Manchester City's stubborn disease.
This time, in the face of Manchester United with strong attack power, and at Old Trafford, according to Ferguson's understanding, Mark. Hughes is a more conservative coach. So, in today's game, Mark Hughes will probably choose to defend and counterattack, because, from any point of view, this is obviously the most appropriate.
However, after the game began, watching Manchester City attack, the well-informed Lord was also surprised. What's the matter with Manchester City?
Luckily, they won Arsenal 6 to two. Does Manchester City think they really have the strength of three Arsenal?!
While Ferguson was still thinking about Manchester City's aggressive tactics, Manchester City launched another attack.
This is Modric receiving Wright on the right. Phillips knocked back the ball. He took two steps forward and stuffed the football straight, Wright. Phillips pulled the edge to answer, just when everyone thought it was Wright. When Phillips continued to carry the ball, he leaned on Park Ji-sung to knock back the football, and the football returned to Modric's feet.
Almost the football rolled over. Modric made a direct pause, that is, the big foot of his right foot passed the ball. The football crossed a wonderful rainbow. At the other end of the rainbow, a figure rushed to the football. This is publicity!!
Zhang Yang stretched out his right foot, grabbed the football out of the sideline, and stopped the football on the sideline. As soon as the ball was stopped, Carrick came up.
Zhang Yang glanced at Carrick, who was also looking at him. Zhang Yang's feet moved. His right foot turned back, kicked it, and then took the football forward along the sideline. No one could guess what he was going to do next.
Zhang Yang is now a well-deserved favorite of Manchester City fans. Seeing him take the ball, Manchester City fans burst into cheers in the away stands of Old Trafford, and some people are even roaring at the throat.
Of course, Manchester City fans love Zhang Yang the most. Although Manchester United fans do not hate Zhang Yang, they know Zhang Yang's threat. When they see Zhang Yang taking the ball, it is naturally a boo. In addition, in this summer, Ferguson personally went to Zhang Yang's home to persuade Zhang Yang to join Manchester United. However, Zhang Yang declined the old lord and chose to join Manchester City, which also made many Manchester United fans worried. They look forward to seeing their team beat Manchester City, let Zhang Yang suffer, and let this boy see what a real rich family is! They want to make Zhang Yang regret it!
Back to the game.
Carrick did not step out blindly. He followed Zhang Yang's pace, and then suddenly looked at the right time and suddenly shoveled his foot! He planned to do a good job. It would be good if he could break the ball. If he couldn't break it, he would shovel the ball out of the sideline to force Manchester City's attack to stop.
For Zhang Yang, Carrick dares not be careless at all. As one of Manchester United's double midfielders today, Carrick's task today is very heavy, and the most important thing is to defend Zhang Yang!
"Manchester City's attack is very sharp, but it is not traceless. Their attack has a hub, that is, Zhang Yang. No matter how they attack, the last threat must have been completed by Zhang Yang or launched by him. Therefore, staring at Zhang Yang is equivalent to freezing Manchester City's advance. Attack."
This is what Ferguson said to Carrick before the game. Carrick has been in mind for a long time.
Zhang Yang naturally knows Carrick's idea. As long as the ball is shoveled out of the sideline, Manchester City's attack will end here, and Manchester United's defense will also win the time to return.
Zhang Yang did not let Carrick's plan succeed. Just as Carrick's foot was about to kick the football, Zhang Yang's toes jumped gently, and the football was picked up obediently. Then, Zhang Yang's knee was cushioned, and the football flew towards the inside.
"WWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO - Wonderful - Carrick is empty!"
Carrick was shaken over. His foot was completely empty, and he slipped out of the sideline himself... Obviously, he did not expect his movements long ago and was ready in advance. I just passed him.
Thousands of Manchester City fans in the stands cheered for Zhang Yang, and they shouted with great joy.
And the boos of Manchester United fans are even higher. The boos completely suppressed the cheers of Manchester City fans, and the whole court was full of harsh boos.
"It's just a short start, and Zhang Yang was treated like this. Obviously, Manchester United fans are worried about the threat of publicity. In the press gallery, a reporter who has been following Manchester United's game for a long time sighed, "This kind of treatment has never been encountered even by Henry."
Taking advantage of Carrick's shoveling, Zhang Yang passed Carrick, and he followed the football. Carrick, who fell to the ground, could only watch Zhang Yang's back grow away. He looked at the previous situation and found that there were no Manchester United players to defend him for the time being. Zhang Yang decided to go straight to Huanglong. He took the ball to the Manchester United's penalty area.
He observed his teammate's running position while pushing forward with the ball. Robinho was interspersed in the penalty area, and Elano also came up. However, Manchester United's defense was not slow. It can be said that Manchester City did not have no chance, but with a little hesitation, then the opportunity would be fleeting.
Zhang Yang and Robinho's vision contact, and the tacit understanding between the two immediately made Robinho know what to do. It should be said that after these ten games, there has been a good tacit understanding between Robinho and Zhang Yang.
After the Brazilian met with Zhang Yang's eyes, he immediately withdrew two steps outside the penalty area. Vidic, who defended Rovinho, quickly followed his footsteps.
Modric ran over to pick up Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang pushed the football to Modric. He immediately ran forward. Modric's pass also came. Raphael came up to intercept it. However, Zhang Yang hooked the ball forward with his right foot and rushed past Raphael with an acceleration.
"Zhang Yang - he is so relaxed! Raphael was still inexperienced, so he was easily passed by publicity!" The commentator shook his head, "This is a chance for Manchester City. No one expected that Manchester City would dare to attack at the Old Trafford Stadium!"
Seeing that Zhang Yang's dribbled the ball, Manchester United's veteran Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar also saw that Zhang Yang wanted to stage a long-distance attack by himself. He still knows a lot about Zhang Yang's ability, especially last season when there was a confrontation between Manchester United and AC Milan. Zhang Yang staged this kind of single ride. It's a good game. Thinking of this, Van der Sar was more sure that Zhang Yang wanted to work alone and quickly shouted to other players on the back line to intercept Zhang Yang.
Ferdinand immediately rushed to Zhang Yang, and Fletcher also came to the other side. They planned to close the door and stop Zhang Yang's breakthrough.
Now, with Zhang Yang's breakthrough, there are more and more Manchester United's defensive players. Of course, there are fewer other people in other places. At this time, Zhang Yang immediately grasped the fleeting emptiness. He saw Evra beside Robinho moving a few steps at his side, and Zhang Yang immediately He stabbed the ball through the seam without hesitation!
Zhang Yang's pass was so sudden that almost everyone thought that he would continue to break through and finally shoot by himself.
I'm not surprised except for one person. This is Robinho!
Robinho knows that as long as he is in the right position, Zhang Yang will never be stingy with passing the ball. This has happened many times since the beginning of this season, and Robinho has also benefited from several assists. This also surprised Robyinho a little. Previously, it was rumored that Zhang Yang was not a player who liked to assist his partner too much.
Robinho doesn't know that Zhang Yang has become selfless now because Zhang Yang's position in the team is the only one and the flag of the team. He considers more about the collective. Compared with the past, Zhang Yang's responsibility is greater, and he is also more mature.
When the almost flamboyant football passed over, Robinho also adjusted his steps in time, and then he swung his right foot, which was stretched on the football--
From Zhang Yang's sudden pass to Robinho's shooting, almost in the blink of an eye, everyone saw the football fly towards Manchester United's goal!!
This shot was too sudden. Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar stood there. Even though he was an experienced Dutch veteran, he could not react at the first time. He just subconsciously waved his hand and watched the football fly. However, maybe Robinho was too eager for the angle and wanted to score too much. Football was The right hand flew over, and it was about to enter the net, but it hit the outside of the column and then popped out.
"Manchester United escaped!" The Manchester commentator shouted.
At this time, a figure rushed to the front of the football!
Although I can't see who this person is, the blue jersey shows his identity.
Face the huge empty door!
All this person has to do is to shovel directly!
He almost rushed into the net with football.
Then the man got up from the ground and roared to celebrate the goal.
"WWOWOWOWOWOWWOWOWO——GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL”
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!" The commentator shouted, "Yes - it's Wright. Phillips! His make-up shot! He showed up there in time! Shoot the football shovel into the net, one to zero! Manchester City is ahead of Manchester United on the road! It's incredible. They took the lead away from home. It was Manchester City that broke the deadlock!"
"One to zero! Manchester City scored! It was Wright who scored the goal. Phillips, he made up for Robinho's shot into the net!"
"Wright. Phillips, his performance this time was quite wonderful. He appeared at the drop point of the football and scored with a football shovel! Manchester City's attack this time is quite wonderful. They can score goals, and thanks to Zhang Yang, the Chinese striker's series of passes and passes, which is the most beautiful place for this attack.
Manchester City people are crazy to celebrate the goal.
Ferguson was on the sidelines, watching the Manchester City people celebrating. Unexpectedly, this time, he did not get angry, but frowned and was thinking about countermeasures.
Ferguson himself did not expect that Manchester City would attack them at Old Trafford Stadium. He was surprised, and his players were naturally a little unprepared for this.
So, this time, the Lord didn't get angry.
He decided to observe for a few more minutes to see how Manchester City has changed after the game restarted before making a decision. Lagging behind zero to one will make the game more difficult, but Lord Forte is very confident in his team.
In the 19th minute of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo carried the ball in the front court. After passing Richards and Makelele in a row, he made a long shot.
Manchester City goalkeeper Johart encouraged the football out of the crossbar.
Followed by Rooney's corner kick, Berbatov's header hit the post.
After Manchester United scored a goal, they immediately returned the color to Manchester City. Manchester United fans in the stands also burst into great cheers. Although the team's series of attacks failed to score goals, it boosted their morale. They feel that there is nothing to worry about.
Ferguson also sat back in the coaching bench. Judging from the current situation, he doesn't feel that there is any need to make any adjustments. Everything in the team is normal. The goal of Manchester City can only be said that they were caught off guard against Manchester United. Now, after Manchester United wakes up, immediately It made Manchester City feel the pressure.
Three minutes later.
Ferguson frowned again. He saw Manchester City continue to attack. They didn't seem to worry that the defense would lose the ball, and Manchester City was very close! And the rush was very positive. Manchester United couldn't even pass the ball comfortably at one time.
Ferdinand received a pass back from his teammates in the backcourt, and he wanted to pass it to his nearest teammate. Carrick withdrew and answered. But he followed him to the place where he came to Manchester City's Wright. Phillips...
Ferdinand is experienced. Naturally, he can't pass the ball to a player who is pressed close to the opposing player and has his back to the offensive direction. So he chose the big foot to pass forward. Let Berbatov and Manchester City's defenders compete for the top.
Berbatov successfully pushed the football down in front of Maclelegate, and he delivered the football directly to Rooney in the air.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Rooney stopped the ball, he was cut off by the incoming Richards, who then passed the ball to Makelele, who came to pick it up.
Seeing that the team took the ball at half-time, other Manchester City players, Wright. Phillips, Modric, Elano, Robinho and others were running to their own half just now. At this moment, they immediately changed their direction and went to the front court.
MacLei passed the ball to Modric.
After getting the ball, Modric turned around and took two steps forward. The football was given to Wright on the right side. Phillips.
Wright. Phillips relied on his own speed to hit Evra. The two of them were entangled on the side road.
Wright. Phillips knew that if he was entangled by his opponent, then Manchester City's counterattack would not come out.
He immediately pulled the football back and then passed it out.
He passed the football directly to the other side of the court. Zabaleta received the ball.
Saballeta received the ball.
He looked at the front, and just when everyone thought he would continue to carry the ball, he suddenly got up and passed the ball!
This is a pass that goes straight into the penalty area.
This kind of attack is slightly rough, and people don't think it will pose a threat to Manchester United's defense.
However, an accident occurred.
Raphael jumped up. He planned to head the ball, but he jumped.
"The top--"
In the shout of the commentator, Zhang Yang got the football at the back point. Although he was a little surprised that his opponent would top, Zhang Yang's feet were unambiguous. He was back to the goal. Zhang Yang turned directly and shot with his foot!
The football was pounced on by Van der Sar.
The football bounces to one side.
Then, Manchester United fans seemed to see the goal replay of the goal five minutes ago, and a blue figure rushed to the front of the football and shoveled!
The goal is scored!
Manchester City led Manchester United 1-0 away at Old Trafford Stadium just over 20 minutes.
This is really an incredible start for everyone!
