Chapter 154 Continuous Goals
The pervasive British media dug out another piece of hot news, which quietly ignited the smoke that Manchester Derby had just dissipated.
Adebayor was banned. Robinio, Santa Cruz and Benjani were suspended due to injuries. Maroiri was useless. He went away to Old Trafford. The only forward combination that Mark Hughes could sacrifice was "Tevis + Bellamy". For the choice to leave Manchester United and move to Tevez this summer, his performance in this game It will undoubtedly be one of the biggest highlights.
In fact, just one day before the game, there is still suspense about whether Tevez can play. One is injury, and the other is lack of physical fitness. However, during the pre-match physical test and physical examination this Saturday, Tevez finally got the pass, and when they learned that the Beast could participate, Manchester United quickly adopted offensive tactics. Ferguson said before the game: "(Whether Tevez can play) I'm not worried at all. Their best players can't play. Adebayor is the big killer. There is no doubt about that." When talking about Tevez's choice from red to blue, the Lord further said: "If we really want to buy out Tevez, we will definitely be more serious. We have made a reasonable offer, but when I now read that the price is not £24 million but £47 million, it is obviously impossible for us to consider this amount. His transfer fee was originally £24 million, but it seems not.
The old master's attitude was clear, and after adding some fuel to the fire, Tevez would obviously respond. When asked if he would shake hands with Ferguson before the game, Tevez said, "If Ferguson can greet me politely like me, I will definitely respond positively, but the world also knows that he did not do it. Too much effort to keep me." After responding concisely to the former coach, Tevez's words turned to the old good. I don't think people will boo me. Manchester United fans are smart. They recognize my work. In fact, I still have many good friends there, Nani and Anderson.
Tevez is quite confident that Manchester United fans will not boo him, but when the game starts, this is not the case. Today, the Beasts have won the ball 28 times, and whenever he receives the ball, Old Trafford booed all over the sky. However, as in the previous situation when Adebayo was booed by gunman fans at the municipal stadium, the harder the fans booed, the more energetic the players became.
The reason why Manchester United lost the goal, Tevez actively grabbed Ben Foster and caused the latter's mistake was the key. When the ball was intercepted, Barry turned Tevez' pass into an assist. After that, Tevez also used a header to carry out one attack and a fierce shovel against Ferdinand.
In this game, Tevez completed three shots, except for the header in the 24th minute and blocked in the 29th minute. He also hit a post before the end of the half. However, compared with the "ghost wall", Tevez has to go well in other aspects, because he not only assisted Barry in the 16th minute, but Bellamy's goal in the 52nd minute also came from the transport of the beasts, and completed two assists in a game, which Tevez had never had when he played for Manchester United. The last time he played this data was when he was playing for West Ham United. In the 2006/07 season, he had two assists in two Premier League games.
However, there seems to be a god in the dark, because in the two games that Tevez completed two assists that year, one of the scores was exactly the same as today.
On March 4, 2007, West Ham United played against Tottenham Hotspur at home. With Starry's 90th minute goal, Tottenham beat West Ham United 4-3. Therefore, if you look at this matter, for Tevez today, although his efforts have helped him clear up a lot of doubts and completed the miracle two years ago, this damn spell will kill him with Manchester City. The more so, Manchester United people will have more and more convinced that Tevez seems to be with the Red Devil. The eight characters did not match, and Ferguson's choice to give up was completely correct.
The disturbances around Manchester United have just come to an end, and there is another voice. Will the rapid rise of Manchester City disrupt the original pattern of the Premier League?
If the objective conditions are fully met, Mark Hughes will certainly not have such a starting lineup in today's key game, because without the starting lineup of Robinho and Adebayor, it will certainly not be the strongest.
However, what may make Manchester City fans feel relieved after the game is that even if their beloved team can't sacrifice the strongest lineup, it can still almost draw the same city's rivals on the road. In addition, it can use a quasi-main front line to score 3 goals for Manchester United, which is enough to make people afraid of Manchester City's firepower.
After the end of this game with Manchester United, Manchester City has played against two of the traditional top four teams in the six rounds of the league, with 1 win and 1 loss in the two games, scoring 7 goals and losing 6 goals, winning at home and losing away. From this point of view, Manchester City is now fully capable of confrontation at the level of direct dialogue with the traditional top four. In addition, considering that Manchester City's lineup is still in the running-out period, it will still have a certain room for improvement. That is to say, when the season enters the second half, Manchester City is likely to bring more. Surprise.
There are two reasons why it is believed that Manchester City still has the ability to become stronger.
First of all, Mark Hughes's military standard has been impressive. Today's Welsh people have long been the "Wu Xia Amon" of the previous two years.
Before playing against Arsenal, Manchester City basically encountered weak teams (Blackburn, Portsmouth, Wolves). When faced with such teams, the big teams often adopt some of the most affordable tactics, that is, to score 3 points without bloodshed, and Manchester City does exactly that, 2 The team defeated Blackburn by 0-0, and the two goals were scored during the opening and end of the game; 1-0 killed the Wolves, and after Adebayor scored in the 17th minute, the team chose to control the rest of the game; a 1-0 victory over Portsmouth, the situation was also similar to the previous game; and when really faced the big test, Mark Hughes could review the time. The situation requires the team to give up the ball control to the Gunners and win a 2-4 victory through defensive counterattacks.
Mark Hughes is enlightened, and the player is naturally the one who benefits the most.
Because the personal ability of Manchester City players is outstanding, when they enter a rational tactical system, the players play at a normal level and the team can operate smoothly.
Take the Manchester derby as an example. Manchester City players did quite well when they were away from home. De Jong was good at robbing, so he completed 9 times and Ireland was good at attacking. Therefore, he had two key passes, and the pass success rate was close to 80%. In addition, although it did lose to Manchester United in the end, the accidental factor was too big. The injury was made up for nearly 7 minutes in the second half, which was obviously beyond the upper limit of Mark Hughes and Manchester City players.
However, if you lose, you will lose. There are actually a lot of things that need to be summarized after the game, and Mark Hughes doesn't have to focus on the trivial things of Bellamy hitting people and Tevez being attacked by coins, because Manchester City's cards are really not inferior to the traditional top four.
For example, among the regular starting 11 players, Manchester City can send a pure international team, which is completely comparable to BIG4. Even to some extent, because players like Lucas, Insua, Clichy, De Nielsen and Alexander Song are only some marginal international players, Manchester City's The starting 11 may be slightly better than Liverpool and Arsenal.
So, in the long run, as long as Manchester City can take every step forward, it is really possible for this team to replace one of the BIG4 to represent the Premier League in the 2010/2011 UEFA Champions League. As for who will be this unlucky in BIG4, when Manchester City is in the league After the half-way and BIG4 are completed, you may be able to see the clues.
Li Yu was not mentioned much by the media after the game, but everyone knows that the young man scored in the game again, and he was still the only two yuan. The support for Li Yu is mainly Manchester media. In the opinion of Manchester people, Manchester United No. 9 is already the world's top front line.
This young man is also constantly proving himself with a game and a goal. Who can stop the rise of this young man?
Next, Manchester United played against Wolves in the third round of the League Cup. Ferguson did not send the main force at home, and Li Yu also got a chance to rest!
Manchester United beat Wolves 1-0 at home and advanced to the next round.
On September 26, in the 7th round of the league, Manchester United challenged Stoke City away.
As a result, Li Yu scored a goal and helped the team beat Stoke City 2-0 and took away 3 points as expected.
In the table, Manchester United has been catching up with Chelsea, and Li Yu has also continued the momentum of scoring and still maintains a good state.
On the last day of September, the second match day of the Champions League Group B group stage, Manchester United's own home court ushered in Wolfsburg, the biggest opponent in the group stage. Now last season's Bundesliga champion team is in the first place in Group B. Can Manchester United win this opponent at home? For the future in the group The qualifying situation has a great impact, so the group match with Wolfsburg is also particularly eye-catching. Nearly 50 countries and regions around the world have broadcast the group match live.
It is worth mentioning that this is the first away game in the history of last season's Bundesliga champion Wolfsburg Club in the Champions League, and it is also their first time to play in England. This is the first time in the history of the two clubs in an official match. In fact, Wolfsburg has only played against a Premier League team in Europe. Last season, they defeated Portsmouth 3-2. Manchester United has been unbeaten in the last four home games against the Bundesliga.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!" The commentator's high voice resounded through the Old Trafford Stadium. At this time, many fans had just entered the stadium and looked for seats when they heard the roar in the stadium. They subconsciously looked up and saw the electronic scoreboard, Manchester United 1:0 Wolfsburg, and then saw Li Yu running on the turf of the Old Traf Court. The number 9 behind him is so dazzling!
Just 57 seconds after the start of the game, Manchester United's first attack was successful. Li Yu's goal made the winning balance tilt to Manchester United from the beginning.
Let's take a look at the process of scoring.
This is Wolfsburg's attack. Makoto Hasebe dribbled the ball in the front court. Fletcher knocked the football to Scholes after a beautiful steal. The 'ginger head' suddenly got up and a big foot passed the football to the front court.
The football crossed almost half of the stadium and flew over the heads of everyone, including the Wolfsburg players. Then, everyone saw a red shadow under the football, running like an arrow in the Wolfsburg penalty area.
This was the moment when Li Yu Scholes passed the ball, and it began to start. He ran nearly 30 meters. As he ran, he looked back at the football. The football was falling in the air and behind him. Li Yu planned to stop the ball. At this time, Madeleone, who was desperately defending, also came up. He planned to take advantage of Li Yu's opportunity to stop the ball, so he rushed up and cut off the ball. If it didn't work, Madeline believed that with his own strength, he could destroy the ball out of the sideline.
Li Yu continued to run. Madelon saw Li Yu running and raised his right foot. It seemed that the ball was going to stop. He immediately rushed up and prepared to intercept. However, he was surprised to find that the football flew again from Li Yu's back! The football flew over his head, and Li Yu also passed by the other side of him.
How did he pick up the football? Madeleone didn't even have time to think about this problem and watched Li Yu pass by him with an acceleration.
The exclamation at Old Trafford Stadium turned into thunderous applause and screams!
Because Manchester United fans saw how beautiful Li Yu was when he passed Madeleen just now. It was simply beautiful. In the running just now, Li Yu's right foot did not stop the ball, but suddenly lowered his right foot and turned the football forward calmly with his right heel, and the football intercepted from above. Madren flew over his head, and Li Yu himself quickly bypassed from the other side.
A man's amazing score!!
When Li Yu passed Madren like this, the commentator of Sky TV was drinking water. He was almost choked. The water sprayed on the table, and he could only open his mouth and couldn't pronounce a syllable for a long time. He was shocked by this.
After passing Madren, Li Yu entered the forbidden area and killed him alone!
Wolfsburg goalkeeper Benaglio attacked!
Li Yu grabbed Benaglio before, deftly stretched out his foot and poked it, and the football rolled between Dooni's legs.
Then Li Yu accelerated to bypass Benaglio's side again, accelerated to catch up with the football, and then volleyed the football into the empty goal, completing this wonderful goal!!
Wolfsburg head coach Magart looked at Li Yu, who was celebrating the goal, and had no choice but to spread his hand. What can he say?
This loss of the ball may be due to the lack of concentration of the Wolfsburg team at the beginning, but Li Yu's offensive strength is really terrible, and she can grasp it as long as there is a chance.
Seeing that Manchester United scored a goal less than a minute after the start of the game, the English commentators were also very happy. They were excited to talk about the game when Manchester United beat Roma 7:1 last season and discussed how many goals Manchester United could score in today's game.
However, in fact, the game of Manchester United's 7:1 victory over Rome can become a classic because of his inability to replicate. After all, Rome is not a fish brisket. There are many accidental factors in that 7:1 game, and today's Wolfsburg team can defeat the overlord Bayern in the Bundesliga. Naturally, it will not be a weak brigade, and it will be slaughtered by others!
After 1:0, the game fell into an impasse. Both sides were wasted their energy in the midfield. They each had two good opportunities, but they could not grasp it. Therefore, at the end of the first half of the game, on the scoreboard of Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United's 1:0 Wolfsburg's score did not change.
At halftime, Ferguson reminded Manchester United players to pay attention to defense and not rush to attack at the beginning of the second half. After 15 minutes of the second half, they began to press out the attack.
Ferguson's arrangement is extremely correct from the situation on the field after the start of the second half of the game. At the beginning of the second half of the game, Wolfsburg seemed to put crazy pressure on Manchester United's goal. If Kushchak's performance was not normal, the team would have been Wolfsburg equalized the score.
"Wolfsburg's offensive is very strong. In this game, their fighting spirit is no less than that of Manchester United at home. In fact, perhaps the Champions League rookie Wolfsburg is more eager for this victory than the defending champion. Even a draw at Old Trafford Stadium will make the Germans fight!"
The commentator makes sense to say this. The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and from the perspective of its head coach Magat's coaching personality, the battle is about to the end. The most critical problem is that Wolfsburg has completely regressed after the start of the new season of the Bundesliga. After a few rounds, it did not show the strength of the defending champion. The whole team is anxious. I hope to win a heavyweight game to bring the team back to the right path. Now the situation on the court is already obvious. The German team is working hard. Either you lie down or I climb down. Who is afraid of? Come on!
However, Manchester United is very experienced. After successfully defending the German team's counterattack for more than ten minutes in the second half, they stabilized their position and began to put pressure on Wolfsburg frequently, and soon achieved results.
Wolfsburg actually knows that its playing style is actually prone to loopholes, but that's what they do in the Bundesliga. When they come to the Champions League, they still maintain such a tactical style and play a draw with Wolfsburg. That's a difficult thing, and there will be no draw in this game.
