Chapter 54 Manchester United's Real No. 9
Li Yu's heart is getting closer and closer to the door, and he can't help throbbing. Once upon a time, Howard on the opposite side was the last iron gate he trusted most. Now he wants to destroy this last line of defense with his own hands, but between the lightning and flints, Li Yu thought a lot of things, and every bit of it surged up in Everton. Others can Without Li Yu's feeling, a year in Everton is really important to Li Yu. Juventus seems to have opened a door for Li Yu, but Everton is the place where Li Yu grew up. Everton is a very important turning point for Li Yu's football life.
Now he is from Manchester United. In the face of the old owner, he is still the most grateful club in his heart. Li Yu knows how to treat Everton Club. As a professional player, what he should do is to show his best level. This is not ungrateful, but to prove that without Everton, there would be no Li Yu today. Just keep the love in your heart.
Li Yu has been staring at the last opponent Howard. At this moment, it is the opportunity to shoot. Howard is deliberately buying Li Yu a flaw. Everton goalkeeper also knows that in fact, even if he is fooled by Li Yu, there is not much chance to block it, but now this is the only way to do this. Is it a gamble? Take it.
Howard shook his head. Sure enough, Li Yu raised his foot and shot. He rushed to the side in the direction he was fighting for. He had done his best. The tip of his hand had already felt the touch of the ball, but the ball still scored. Just touching could not organize Li Yu's shot at all.
"After the goal, Li Yu did not celebrate. She put her hands together and bowed for Howard. There was gratitude, helplessness, and even a trace of apology. He is now from Manchester United!" The commentary of the live TV broadcast said that Li Yu's complicated mood at this moment.
Shouldn't the fans of Manchester United go after scoring?
No, in the area where the visiting team Everton fans were, Li Yu waved his hand, and the Everton fans did not boo the former goal hero. The applause immediately sounded. At this time, Li Yu bowed deeply and sent a kiss after getting up. This is a kiss to Everton fans. They will always be The cutest fan.
Old Trafford also had thunderous applause. Li Yu interpreted what a shocking scene for everyone. This kind of scene is also unenvying by other players. Several players can get applause from former fans instead of boos when they enter the old home goal!
Ferguson and Moyes looked at each other coincidentally. Li Yu grew up again. Both head coaches were very gratified, but Moyes, who was scored a goal by Li Yu, was more bitter and helpless. If it were a stronger club, Li Yu should still stay in the team at this moment!
The game is still going on. Moyes knows that the game is not over, and it is not his personality to admit defeat easily. He stands on the sidelines and roars at the court.
"Kahill! Cahill! Run and go back to the midfield! Don't be lazy!"
"Mickel! Pay attention to their side roads. They want to fight behind them. When they press on, they should come back in time!"
"Joe Leon! Make an offside more neatly and stop pestering LEE!"
The way he keeps pointing at today will only make people feel that he is in a hurry. He is really in a hurry.
The team fell behind by one goal at the beginning. Now it doesn't change its tactics. It can't be different to wait for the end of Everton. What else can it do but fail?
As a football coach, he can call a timeout at any time like a basketball game, call down the players, comfort them, or drink with a head, and can only remind the players on the court with their own loud voice.
After a game, Moyes's wonderful voice is hoarse, and he can't rest, because there are still media to face, and it is also very important for the head coach to have a good voice!
Manchester United fans are cheering for the team at the beginning of singing the team song, cheering for the team, and also causing trouble for the opponents.
Although the singing of the fans doesn't sound exciting at all, tens of thousands of people shout in unison is enough to shock their opponents.
Moreover, this is a special song that belongs to all Manchester United. As long as you hear this melody, you will know that it is in Old Trafford, and the master is Manchester United!
Although Manchester United has performed exceptionally well in the Premier League in recent years, the fans have not forgotten their accusations. When there should be a song, the scene of tens of thousands singing in unison is always staged in the Dream Theater, inspiring Manchester United to fight and kill the enemy.
Manchester United did not take advantage of a slam attack after scoring the goal, but controlled the rhythm and dissipated Everton's fighting spirit and confidence little by little. Manchester United played the old trick. No matter who faced Manchester United, this is the most dangerous moment. Manchester United curled up like a poisonous snake, which does not mean fear, and It is the posture before launching the attack.
Two minutes later, Vidic and Fellaini were hit and their mouths were bleeding when they were fighting. Fortunately, the problem was not big and they quickly threw themselves into the game.
On the scene, it was not as Manchester United expected. Everton also began to attack steadily, especially in the midfield. They constantly strengthened their fighting strength. Everton's strategy was to suppress it first, so that Manchester United would not have the opportunity to launch a quick attack, and it was not too late to start the attack in a while.
The opponent did not fall into his own rhythm, but kept exerting pressure. Manchester United's opponent Everton was really prepared for this game. He fought Manchester United until he had no physical strength, and Everton plotted to score again.
Until the end of the first half, Everton did not organize any decent offensive. Manchester United also had no threat and was completely dragged down by the opponent. All Manchester United players may know that Ferguson will not have a good face in the lounge. The game is far from over, and the second half is the key.
This is a bad game in the first half. If there is no opening goal, it will definitely wait until the game scene. Everton's tactical changes are very targeted, and it is normal that there is no goal in the first half.
The leading side is not in a good mood, and so is Everton. After all, they are still the backward side. The situation has been controlled, but how to attack in the second half? In fact, Everton players also have no bottom, and the attack must be put into it. Once they are put into the attack, Manchester United seizes an opportunity to score another goal, which is fatal.
Moreover, the players think that it is normal for Manchester United to lead Everton with one goal. It's almost the same for anyone to come here, or it's not a goal to lose to Manchester United.
Manchester United fans in the stands are very happy. Anyway, the lead is the lead. It's true that the first half is a little dull, but so what? Three points to return to the first place in the table is the most important. Now it seems that Everton has no offensive power, three There should be no problem with the score. Of course, Manchester United fans are happy.
In the locker room of the home team Manchester United, it looks very dull.
Ferguson had nothing to say. He just stood in front of the tactical board. He turned his back to the players and stared at the tactical board.
A group of players don't know what the head coach is doing, are they thinking about the problem, or are they angry and dissatisfied with their performance in the first half?
This kind of awkward silence appeared in the Manchester United locker room, and the air became more and more tense.
Ferguson is indeed considering how Everton will attack in the second half. The old man knows that Everton's attack will start in the second half, but how to deal with it. The old man can't pay attention to it for a while.
Li Yu is in excellent condition, but the opponent is compressing the space of the midfield. The backcourt adopts the offside tactic, leaving little room for Li Yu to play. Moreover, once Li Yu chooses to break through in the middle, they will soon foul in the midfield. There is no threat at all. They put Li Yu on the side, but who will grab the middle to complete it? Tevez's strength. Xiang is at his feet, let him grab the point in the middle, some of which is too difficult for Argentines.
Then there is only one way left. The Argentines go to the side road, leave the middle road completely to Li Yu, let him do something to grab some things, walk on both sides and no longer break through the middle road, and avoid the opponent's frontal defense.
The players don't know that Ferguson is thinking about how to deal with the second half, leaving them a back. They don't know when to scold. This is a kind of torture. The players have exchanged a look, and no one knows what to do. They are all sighing. Don't be cool. You'd better scold, which is more It makes people nervous.
At this moment, Ferguson finally turned around.
Everyone was watching the head coach's face, wanting to see how angry the head coach was before he could show his back for so long.
But Ferguson looked calm and said something that shocked the whole room: "We are going to attack fiercely in the second half."
Isn't it a quick counterattack? It not only saves physical energy, but also has more threats. Do you want to attack now?
All the players don't understand why Ferguson suddenly made such a big change.
Aware of everyone's shocked expression, Ferguson gave his reason, "This is Old Trafford. What kind of Manchester United do you think fans want to see?"
"Powerful Manchester United!"
"Invincible Manchester United!"
......
Manchester United players have all the answers, but the answers are similar.
Ferguson nodded to express his satisfaction, "That's right. Everton will definitely attack in the second half. We also want to attack and defeat our opponents with the strength of Manchester United!"
"The opponent has always thought that we are waiting for the moment when they attack, but we have to attack in the first 20 minutes of the second half, catch them off guard, and try to score another goal. We don't have to bear the pressure of the opponent's attack, and we can please the fans. This is the best way!"
Manchester United players finally understand why they want to change their tactics. In fact, it is an old saying on the court that the best defense is attack, and you can still be surprised. Such a win is even greater!
I understood the head coach's idea and were waiting for Ferguson's specific offensive arrangements.
"LEE, reduce the breakthrough and hand the ball to both sides. What you have to do in the second half is not to fight alone, but to grab points!"
Pointing to Tevez, "Travel on both sides, where you are going to appear. Pass the ball for LEE. Other side players can insert it into the middle as appropriate, first and then middle, which is also tactically unexpected to Everton!"
"Give it all up. Everton is not very fast in the attack, okay?"
The last sentence Ferguson obviously said to the defensive player. This is really a desperate attack 20 minutes before the second half!
"Remember that it is 20 minutes. Whether there is an attack or not, you must attack for 20 minutes!"
The players have begun to observe silence for the Everton players, especially the last sentence. This is to defeat Everton, score goals and attack, and not give the opponent a chance at all. When there is no fighting spirit, what effect will it be if you attack!
Ferguson always speaks in a very peaceful tone, but all Manchester United players can hear the old man's determination from his calm words. Without the usual impassionedness, the calmness makes the players face it more. Ferguson's control over the players has reached the point of perfection.
Wait for the second half of the game to begin.
Li Yu doesn't need to ask, and she also knows that she will take most of the responsibility for the attack in the second half. Everton, I'm here. I hope you don't hold a grudge!
In the first half, he was too aggrieved by Everton's restrictions. Except for the opening goal, he didn't give him any good chance at all. He was also holding his strength, and also wanted to prove that he could also score goals by his opponent.
When Li Yu got up and was ready to enter the game, she saw her number and name printed on the wardrobe. Manchester United's No. 9 should be born for the goal. I also have to be worthy of this number and become the real Manchester United No. 9!
Li Yu firmly walked out of the locker room and walked to the player channel. When he met Everton's former teammate, he did not say hello again. Witness his growth in the second half. This is a battle of growth. Say goodbye to the past and become the real No. 9 of Manchester United!
Seeing the reappearing of Manchester United players, the red ocean of Old Trafford boiled again. After a short rest, the red ocean came back like this.
With the constant shouts of the fans, the second half began.
Manchester United began to attack as soon as they opened the game. Everton players really had the same expression as Manchester United players when they heard Ferguson's decision. They were shocked. Shouldn't it be us who attacked in the second half?
Now Everton has fallen into passivity again, and the momentum of the opening game is immediately suppressed by Manchester United.
Moyes couldn't help shaking his head on the sidelines. He was one move away and lost the whole game!
I didn't expect that Manchester United would attack. They didn't prepare the players in advance in the midfield at all. They thought that the opponent had fallen into their own rhythm and changed first. How did the opponent deal with it? But now it seems that Ferguson will not let him master this active person.
The tactics of Manchester United's fierce attack are also very targeted. Everton focuses on the defensive strategy in the middle, leaving a lot of opportunities on both sides. Manchester United just took advantage of this to play the side. Now it depends on whether Li Yu and other players can catch one.
Tevez's dexterity is well reflected in the attack. When he got there, the side players along the way consciously leaned on the middle road and supported more.
Li Yu is not a traditional center who stays in the forbidden area and waits for opportunities. She is caught in the forbidden area, so she pulls it back a little.
Tevez, who soon had a tacit understanding with Li Yu, handed the ball to Li Yu's feet, stopped the football directly to one side, then turned around and volleyed, and gently padd the football with his chest and protected it in front of him.
Fellaini immediately defended Li Yu close to him. Fellaini could only stay behind and prevent him from turning around easily.
Li Yu opened her arms to protect the ball to maintain balance, and at the same time felt the situation behind him. He met Fellaini, knew that the other party was sticking up, and felt the strength behind him. He was really a difficult big man. Originally, he thought that avoiding the familiar Lescott could lighten his pressure. Unexpectedly, he thought of Fellaini's The health is not bad at all!
After he unloaded the football with his right instep, he quickly raised it. He used the frontal instep and the frontal bone of the football's leg to firmly clamp the football in the middle and fix it. In this way, even if he moves a little bigger, the football will not be easily thrown out and out of his control.
Fellaini knew in his heart that Li Yu actually had no threat. Now he just waited for his teammates to come up to grab, or Li Yu quickly divided the ball. Anyway, his defensive task was well completed.
Just when the Belgian thought that Li Yu had nothing to do, he was disturbed by his explosive hairstyle. "Something is flying. Is it football?"
"Oh, my God, I picked the ball and turned around. The Belgian must regret having such a hairstyle. He didn't seem to find it at all. Li Yu turned around. What a wonderful move!" The commentator sighed that in the face of the tall defense, Li Yu used such a way.
Li Yu did not let the commentator's sigh stop. She turned around and did not wait for the ball to fall to the ground. She pulled the ball vigorously in the air, and turned around with a continuous volley.
The ball can clearly see a vertical arc in the air. At first, it seems to fly directly out of the beam.
But when the football flew to a high point, it suddenly began to fall rapidly!
Howard reacted. When he flew over, the ball was next to a glove and flew into the goal by wiping the post!
Goal, 2:0, Li Yu staged an amazing goal performance again. This is Manchester United's No. 9. Goals can be scored at any time, which is unforgettable. I don't know when I saw the same goal last time. Now the classic is reproduced. Of course, Manchester United fans do not have the opportunity to celebrate, loudly. Shouting the name of the goal scorer, "LEE... LEE!"
Like the first half, Li Yu did not celebrate after scoring the goal. He walked silently towards his own half. Other Manchester United players also understood Li Yu and just ran to his side and patted Li Yu on the shoulder to celebrate.
Ferguson looked down at his watch. The change in the second half was very successful. Now it is the scheduled 20 minutes, 7 or 8 minutes, which is almost the same as expected time. These minutes are enough to suppress the subsequent counterattack of Everton. After thinking about it, he went back and took a look at the bench and C Ronaldo, who sat on the bench. He looked at the old man and nodded. The two of them didn't say anything, but they already understood what they were thinking. The Portuguese was going to play as a substitute!
