Chapter 42 Sinking in the first half
There is only one day to prepare, and the next day after Manchester United's training is the semi-final of the FIFA Club World Cup.
However, in the face of Japanese teams, Manchester United players do not need to prepare much. In fact, the FIFA Club World Cup is still the same as the Toyota Cup. In the end, it is the European champion against the South American championship club.
Ferguson sent the forward combination of Li Yu and Tevez, and two Manchester United veterans, Giggs and Scholes, who are very popular in Japan, also got a chance to start.
Japanese media say that it is a good result that Osaka Gamba can score a goal for Manchester United. In the face of a strong Manchester United, they don't have to expect to win the game at all. Such a mentality may make the whole game more enjoyable.
On the day of the game, Tokyo National Stadium had only one color, which was the red color belonging to Manchester United. Japanese fans turned the stadium into Old Trafford and did not save face for their hometown team at all. They came to appreciate how Manchester United defeated Osaka Gamba.
It's no wonder that the fans have such a one-sided attitude. The strength difference between the two teams is too big. It's just a game without suspense, and it's not the Osaka Gangba team that attracts fans to watch the game, but Manchester United!
With the on-site explanation of shouting the names of Manchester United players, the fans at the scene gave a big response. To create an atmosphere, Japanese fans are not weaker than the Manchester United fans of Old Trafford. They are more powerful by shouting the names of the players.
"Tevis... Li Yu!"
When the front line combination was introduced, the fans at the scene burst into a loud noise. Tevez did not expect that he would be so popular. It seems that plastic surgery is not a waste of money. The Argentine and Li Yu joined hands to walk to the court!
The fact may be a little misunderstood. The commentator spilled the beans and called out the names together, which led to such a result. How many of them are really cheering for Tevez, which is a little hard to say.
It's Osaka's turn to enter the field. The Japanese fans at the scene are quite polite and welcome the teams from their hometown with applause.
When the players of the two teams shake hands, the Osaka players are obviously very respectful. They all hold hands and nod solemnly to greet them. The opponent's respect really makes Manchester United's players a little uncomfortable. What they pay attention to at the beginning is a momentum. No matter what their strength is, there must be a posture. Such a move is really It's relatively rare. It's really like a friendly match!
Ferguson did not give too many tactical constraints to Manchester United's starters. The Lord's original words were, "Let go of the game. There is no limit to this game!"
At the beginning of the game, Manchester United players seemed to despise their opponents, especially on the back line. Manchester United's main central defender partner. Vidic looked at the short and powerful Japanese players as if they had entered the dwarf country. No wonder they were used to the scene of high-level people in the Premier League. What's more, it's really I'm not interested.
But the speed of Japanese players is not slow, and Vidic is not that kind of speed player. In the opening stage, Osaka Gangba Japanese star Yasuhito Endo grabbed the football in the midfield and passed the ball accurately behind him. The striker Hideo Hashimoto directly shook off Vidic's defense with speed, and the Manchester United central defender lost. In advance, he didn't get close to him at all. He didn't want to get rid of the Serbian iron man with the small body of a Japanese player. He didn't have to think about it. It would be impossible to follow.
But now Hideo Hashimoto has got the opportunity to play single-knife. The surprised voices of the fans are definitely not pretending. Before such a situation, who would have thought that the most wanted to get the opportunity was Japan's Osaka Gangba team.
Van der Sar roared and attacked immediately when the situation was not good. It was too late. When Vidic's last pull did not work, Hidero Hashimoto chose to shoot the goal.
The old goalkeeper of Manchester United jumped back and did not touch the ball in the air. The ball scored!
Manchester United were 0:1 behind by a goal in the first 3 minutes.
Only then did the fans at the scene realize that the ball scored beautifully. At this time, the huge drums sounded in the stands did not know who they were celebrating for. Such a chaotic scene was really rare. Wearing a red jersey representing Manchester United, they were celebrating crazily for the opponent's goal.
Van der Sar stood up and said, "What are you thinking? Competition, we are not here for sightseeing. This TMD is a competition. Let's cheer me up!" The roar of the Dutchman could be heard by Li Yu near the midfield. Although he didn't say anything by name, everyone knew that it was talking about the whole defense of Vidic and Manchester United.
What can Vidic say? He is really careless. Now he is still the roar of the Dutch. After a while, if the big Buddha outside the court is angry and jokes, he has to take off his skin if he doesn't die!
"Liars, a bunch of hypocritical liars!" Vidic said with regret that it was an illusion of the beginning. It was rare that the opening was not a disguised confusion of the opponent. If you can't make up for your skills, there will be no good fruit to eat at halftime. Fight!
In the game, the most active Manchester United player became Vidic on the defensive line. The Serbs really played a twelve-point spirit in the game. Other Manchester United players did not have the previous relaxation and began to take seriously the opponent they did not know before.
Manchester United began to be serious. Osaka Gangba couldn't stand it at all. Although from the opening position, the Osaka team was 3-5-2, in fact, once Manchester United started a real offensive, it immediately became 5-3-2.
I'm afraid it will be like 5 defenders. After taking the lead, the Osaka team is also very single. It has played the iron barrel array, and there is only one foreign aid Lucas on the front line.
It works in the face of the powerful Manchester United iron barrel array. Manchester United is most like the iron barrel array in the Premier League.
Not an expert, and Manchester United players are also good at breaking iron barrels.
As soon as it was found that Osaka Gamba took the initiative to give up the midfield and began to set up an iron barrel array in the backcourt, Manchester United was not in a hurry. Where is the background? In the face of an Asian team, it could not shake the psychological advantage of Manchester United players on the court.
Li Yu is even more so. If little Japan wants to become refined, the young master will also change it back for you and return it to its original form, which is necessary.
It is very tacit understanding to deal with Manchester United players. The ball begins to pull back and forth to mobilize the defenders of the Osaka team. The beme is Scholes. It seems that Manchester United is really aimless in the midfield, and there is no real threat at all. But once the ball is played or the pace is accelerated, it is enough for Osaka to drink a few. It's a pot.
Li Yu pulled to the side road, and Tevez responded in the middle. The two always maintained a little contact. Suddenly, Scholes passed the ball to Tevez' feet, and the latter did not pause at all. He immediately turned to the side where Li Yu was. The ball passed comfortably, and Li Yu took the opportunity to the bottom.
Two Osaka players, Jia Diliang and Yamaguchi, rushed forward to block. When Li Yu broke through, he was kicked the ball out of the bottom line by Yamaguchi. Manchester United got the first corner after the opening.
Giggs took a free throw, and the two major Manchester United masters Vidić and Ferdinand all appeared in the Osaka team's penalty area, especially Vidić's dignified face running back and forth, which was completely a posture of making up for his achievements, and he had to enter one.
Everyone in the Osaka team's defense of this corner kick has returned to the penalty area, and they can't be nervous anymore.
The referee whistled, and Giggs' corner kick came out, and the landing point was straight to Vidic, who jumped high and rushed to the top, "Bah!" With a loud noise, the ball hit the goal frame fiercely and was lifted out. The fans in the stands also exclaimed. They immediately fell into a scuffle in the penalty area. Endo Yasuhito finally stretched out a foot in the crowd and kicked the ball out of the dangerous area.
Neville won the ball in the midfield and continued to attack. The game turned into a defensive battle between Manchester United. Who would have thought that the two teams with such a disparity would play so fiercely.
The game is one-sided, but the score does not reflect the situation on the field. 15 minutes after the first half, Manchester United is still one goal behind.
Li Yu decided to make more breakthroughs to deal with the intensive defense of the Osaka team. There is absolutely nothing wrong with breaking the two ultimate magic weapons, long-range shots and breakthroughs!
After taking the ball, Li Yu did everything and really burst out all his strength. In this way, the gap in the ability of the players themselves became more obvious. Japanese players could only use sea tactics to deal with Li Yu's impact. Li Yuren was driking the ball back and forth in the penalty area, and the Osaka team did not dare to foul. It was joking. Everyone knows that Huaxia Li Yu still has a free kick, and it's okay to seal the shooting and passing angle with a sea of people!
Can you prevent it if you want to?
Manchester United is not only Li Yu. There are also Argentines on the front line. Li Yu did not go to the end this time. She attracted the attention of three Osaka players at the front of the penalty area. Immediately after the pass, Tevez magically appeared there, but the Argentine did not shoot, but played with Li Yu in the penalty area. Short pass infiltration.
Damn it, if it was in the lead, no one would say anything, but now when is it? If there is a chance, they won't shoot quickly, but the Argentine player dares to pass back to Li Yu at this time, and the ball to Li Yuren will also kill at the same time. The pass is perfect, just like practicing in advance, taking the opportunity to get angry. Shooting, Osaka Gangba goalkeeper Fujitani Yosuke has stretched his body to the limit after taking off, but he is not Van der Sar with long arms and long legs. No matter how long he stretches, he jumps in a hurry. He didn't touch the ball and scored, 1:1!
The screams of the tsunami at the scene sounded in an instant. This is Li Yu's iconic strong bombardment. With the retirement of the God of War Buddy, you can see such a powerful attack, which is almost to the point where only Li Yu's family has no other division. The perfect combination of strength and angle, excited fans are still beating drums to celebrate.
After scoring the goal, Li Yu was not too happy. It was just a draw. There was nothing to be happy. She kissed her finger. Li Yu picked up the football from the net and greeted her teammates to run back quickly.
Manchester United is really starting to take it seriously. Affected by Li Yu, other players also began to run back.
All the Osaka players realized a problem, and they couldn't keep it. The Manchester United they faced was not the ticket of the performance show, but the serious main force of Manchester United. It was deceptive. Li Yu's simple move destroyed the fragile psychological defense of Osaka Gangba players, which was completely what Li Yu thought. There is no result, but in the next game, this is really the turning point of the whole game.
Five minutes later, Manchester United made a comeback. This time, Tevez showed his unique stickiness. The ball seemed to stick to his feet. The same short Japanese player couldn't grab the ball at the feet of the Argentine.
It's a very simple action. Let me tell you clearly, it's just to pass you. The players of Osaka Gangba team can't keep it. The gap is a huge gap. Now it seems so obvious. After passing two people in a row, Tevez has no intention of passing the ball this time. He is going to do it alone. In front of the penalty area, he grabs the opponent to block it. At that moment, Tevez kicked a shot with a clear arc under his feet. This time, Fujiya Yosuke finally jumped on the ball and hit the bottom line, Manchester United's corner kick.
The two masters of Manchester United appeared again in the penalty area of Osaka Gangba without any suspense. This time, the player who took the penalty was unexpectedly replaced by Scholes. The ginger head is generally the owner who ambushed the front of the penalty area and shot a cold arrow. Now he takes the corner kick, which is far beyond the expectation of the Osaka team's defensive players. He should focus on defense. In any area, there is no accurate position in the hearts of the players. There is no way. There is no practice at all before the game, so they can only defend with all their strength.
Not to mention, the corner kick skill of the ginger head is not bad at all. This time, the landing point is still Vidic. Obviously, Manchester United players also want to give the Serbs a chance. This time, Vidic will not let the opportunity to score from the top of his head. The Serbs jump high and have an obvious next move in the air. This time, he paid attention to the direction of the top ball. With such a close header, he can only rely on luck or teammates who stand near the goal post to relieve the siege. This time, the ball is facing the near post, but the point is absolutely in the upper corner. Coupled with the common height of Japanese players, the goal is very simple!
2:1, Manchester United finally overtook the score in the first 35 minutes of the first half. This goal also announced that the efforts of Osaka Gangba players have been in vain.
Vidič finally released his depression. After scoring the goal, the Serbs roared loudly.
Li Yu jumped and rode on Vedic's back, waving his arms in the air.
"LEE, what did you eat to grow up? Damn it, you are too heavy!" Vidic almost didn't let Li Yu lie down and quickly made a sound.
"Good!" Li Yu touched her hair with embarrassment, "I forgot when I was excited!"
In the first half, the rest of the time, it became the offensive performance of Manchester United. Manchester United will not give the opponent any more chance. There are still 20 minutes to completely sink the opponent in the first half, so let the sinking be heavier!
Tevez performed once, and Li Yu changed his performance. Li Yu tried to forcibly break through with the ball in the middle for the first time. There was no reason to eat raw food. Speed, body, Japanese players' bodies were pasted, but they were bounced away. The strength was not a featherweight at all. Of course, the referee would not judge offend. It's a rule. It's almost the same for people to hit the wall while walking, but no one knows that the wall will hit the wall.
Li Yu is just like a heavy tank. There are bicycles in front of her, which are directly crushed over. This pleasant feeling makes Li Yu really cool. If I had known it would be like this, I should have known to kick like this just now.
Japanese players are very unlucky. They have used all the methods they can use, and they almost hug their thighs. It's really too bullying. If your health is not good, you can't do it like this!
Nakazawa Satoshi really watched it. If Li Yu is allowed to score a goal like this, he will continue to kick the ball. Knowing that Li Yuren was scoring a goal, he still shoveled without hesitation. He had no choice but to rush over and was still crushed. It's better to make a trip. The penalty kick is better than now. Death is a pleasure.
The referee's whistle immediately sounded, accompanied by the whistle and the huge boos of tens of thousands of fans at the scene. A classic goal was destroyed, and the fans were angry. They didn't come to see Manchester United players' penalty kicks. What they wanted was a wonderful goal. What are they doing so serious? Who are you booing!
Li Yu stood at the penalty spot. In the game, there were really not many opportunities for Li Yu to take a penalty kick. Generally, C Ronaldo came to take the lead. This time, the Portuguese was not on the field. Giggs came up to let him take the penalty. This time, he had to vent all the depression just now.
Usually, he takes a free kick, and Li Yu sometimes doesn't have to run. This time, he took a few steps back after playing the penalty.
Yosuke Fujitani, the goalkeeper standing opposite, if the penalty can fake a fall, he will also fall now. No need to ask, Li Yu wants to bombard him vigorously, kicking off, and flying. Even if he kicks in, don't kick him!
Fujiya Yosuke was still thinking, and the referee's whistle had sounded. Li Yu did not hesitate to accelerate his foot and shoot in an instant. Fujiya Yosuke still had a dull face, and the ball had already entered. Kicking the penalty ball could have such an effect. Li Yu finally swept away the depression just now.
3:1, Manchester United started to lead by 2 goals, with 15 minutes left in the first half!
"LEE, I haven't scored yet!" Tevez came up to celebrate with Li Yu, but said such words.
It's true that the first goal is the Argentine's assist. Do you have to change it back? "I'll pass the ball for you!" Li Yu agreed, and it was very easy to pass the ball.
Just like Li Yu thought, the tank hit the Japanese bicycle again. Did you foul earlier? When I come back to a collective charge, I don't believe that I can't beat the tank.
The attention of Osaka Gangba players is all focused on Li Yu. It really means that the death squad is not good. Two are not good, and there are three.
Li Yu was secretly observing Tevez's running position, "It's now!"
Suddenly, the tank turned sharply, and the shell was thrown horizontally to the Tevez hill cannon. The hill cannon took over the shell, quickly raised 15 meters forward, and fired immediately!
"Dong!" Tevez's small mountain cannon is also powerful. The unlucky Fujiya Yosuke swallowed another bullet!
At the end of the first half, Manchester United temporarily led by 4:1.
