Chapter 194 Silent Conquest
Ferguson was just satisfied with the performance of the players, and there was an unexpected situation on the field!
In the 39th minute, McFadden headed the ball, and Jerome flashed Evans in the upper right corner of the penalty area and the shot was blocked by Brown.
Manchester United barely cleared the corner kick, Bowyer entered the penalty area and was blocked by Evans, and Jerome scored at close range.
Birmingham equalized the score. The first time Manchester United's defense had a panic, they were seized by the opportunity by their opponents. At the end of the first half, they scored a goal!
The score became 1:1!
Ferguson was simply furious. What happened to the once proud Manchester United defense? The first impact was nothing, but the opponent's second wave of attacks frequently let the opponent seize the opportunity.
Although injury is a reason to say, the old man doesn't want to face the media and always defend himself with the injury.
When Li Yu heard the whistle after scoring the goal, she hugged her head with regret and muttered something.
If he could seize one of the few opportunities just now, how good it would be!
There is no way. This is a football match. The attacking party did not expand the score, but the passive party took advantage of the only opportunity to score a goal.
At the end of the first half of the game, the excited Birmingham fans were like winning the game at halftime. This is Manchester United. In the case of falling behind, Birmingham equalized the score when it was about to end in the first half. The fans sang and danced excitedly, and even a few excited young men. I'm naked!
The Manchester United players were in the lounge and were not affected by the warm atmosphere outside at all, which looked a little dull.
With a 1:1 score, all the players on the court are not satisfied.
The defender is worried that Ferguson may lose his temper in a while.
However, the only front line, Li Yu, was still a little annoyed. The situation he wanted most did not appear, but let his opponent use the opportunity to score goals to improve his morale at home. In Li Yu's opinion, it was more or less unreasonable, especially that he also got several good opportunities.
Ask yourself, isn't it that you are not calm when shooting?
No!
The goalkeeper Hart played so well!
The only opponent in the second half of the game is Hart, who must break through the ten fingers.
Li Yu thought about her own affairs for a long time. The locker room was already very dull. Ferguson also came to the locker room. "You all know very well the importance of 3 points for the team in this game. I don't need to emphasize this anymore!"
"You are Manchester United players. You have to see the value and ability of real Manchester United players, which is a must!"
"All I want to take away today is victory, so you all cheer me up. Did you hear me?"
"I heard it!" The Manchester United generals quickly answered the coach's words loudly.
"Good, that's right. Go out and shut up the people outside!"
"Okay, boss!"
Li Yu is one of the loudest people to answer.
At the beginning of the second half, Li Yu's attack was still the most threatening man of Manchester United.
Especially when it is necessary to attack, his role cannot be ignored.
Although Birmingham's defensive player is in good health, his overall strength is still a little worse. Besides, what kind of body is put on Li Yu, a pervert, can be ignored!
After Li Yu took the ball, she took the initiative to strengthen her breakthrough. No matter what the opponent is, it is difficult to grab the football at his feet without fouling. The technical and physical gap is already obvious.
After receiving Park Ji-sung's pass, it is also the right choice for Li Yu to rush forward with the ball. After all, he is very close to Birmingham's penalty area. As a striker who takes scoring goals as his own, if he thinks there is a chance to take the ball forward, no one can blame him.
His task today is to score goals, and he also needs to score goals.
Birmingham's iron barrel array has been set up, and as many as 7 players are waiting at the front of the penalty area.
Li Yu took the opportunity to take the ball forward and rushed to Birmingham's penalty area without hesitation.
As soon as they saw Li Yu take the ball, the defenders of Birmingham gathered collectively ** and became nervous. Suddenly, they did not care where they were, and they all gathered with Li Yu as the center.
After scoring the ball, Park Ji-sung planned to help Li Yu get involved and disperse Birmingham's defensive forces. Unexpectedly, they ignored him at all and didn't know him at all, so they went to Manchester United No. 9!
Almost in an instant, the players in Birmingham surrounded Li Yu at the front of the penalty area.
Even if Li Yu wants to pass the ball at this moment, she can't pass it out.
When he stepped into the restricted area, he had already expected what would happen next. Isn't it just fighting alone? Who is afraid of whom!
Ricchville bumped up from the back of the side, while stretching out his foot to stab the football. However, he soon found that he was not hitting a person, but a wall... Li Yu did not shake at all. Instead, he was affected by the reaction and tilted aside.
Of course, Richville is not the only one who robbed Li Yu's ball.
Li Yu quickly pulled the football from his right foot to his left foot and dodged Richville's steal.
Another person came from the other side, it was Birmingham's central defender Roger Johnson.
Roger Johnson did not hit it directly like Richville. He knew that if he was fighting for his body, he was not Li Yu's opponent at all, so he grabbed the shoulder of Manchester United No. 9 with one hand. At the same time, he looked at the right time and swept to the football pulled by Li Yu.
Roger Johnson's good thinking is jingling, but Li Yu is not a fool. When the opponent grabbed his shoulder, Li Yu has already thought of a countermeasure. You can't do it if you don't want to have physical contact!
He just pulled the football over, and it is impossible to pull it back. At this time, he can only protect the football with his body.
So Li Yu's body hit horizontally.
Roger Johnson looked at the football. In his vision, his feet were quickly approaching the football. As long as he went a little further, he could poke Li Yu's ball away. At this critical moment, his feet stopped.
His whole body stopped.
He bumped into Li Yu's shoulder and tilted his chin back reflexively before he hit himself...
Li Yu turned around and completely squeezed Roger Johnson behind him.
After losing two people in one go, Li Yu finally arrived in the forbidden area.
In the penalty area, Birmingham's players dare not be cruel, but they have a numerical advantage. Now there are still five people in their penalty area, which is definitely an iron barrel array.
Li Yu doesn't have any angle to get up. At least she has to pass one or two to have a better shot.
At present, there is only one Manchester United player in the whole penalty area, but there are as many as five players in Birmingham - plus Richville, who has just been knocked away, and Roger Johnson, who was blocked by Li Yu, there are exactly 7 people!
No, there is another one in front of the goal! Hart stared nervously at the scene in the penalty area in front of the door and was ready to rise in the air.
Li Yu moved again, her upper body began to swing, and her feet had already stepped on the bicycle, just when everyone thought that Li Yu was undoubtedly past the end of the bicycle.
However, he found that they were just a layman. Li Yu suddenly moved and pushed his right foot out to try to speed up the breakthrough.
Of course, Birmingham's defenders would not let him pass so easily. A person immediately stood on the route that Li Yu wanted to carry the ball.
Before the man stood firm, his eyes widened and he was completely dumbfounded.
It was Li Yu's back that rushed over. At the moment when he started with the ball, Li Yu made a Marseille spin.
Football is an obedient elf at Li Yu's feet. It's so lively and unpredictable. I really don't know what the elf will do next.
Dane and Carl rushed up at the same time, intending to attack.
Carl came up first. He rushed straight ahead.
Li Yu can now say that it is inevitable. Behind him is Roger Johnson. If he turns around again, I'm afraid it will be cheaper for Roger Johnson.
But he had a way. He buckled the football to the right with a super fast reaction with his left foot.
Carl rushed up with an arrow and immediately rushed to the air!
Li Yu took the opportunity to jump, dodged the time when Carl stretched out his legs, and jumped to the right.
His hand naturally held Carl. Carl felt that his shoulder was touched by Li Yu and immediately covered his face and fell to the ground. Carl didn't think about it. The referee had been staring at it. He held your shoulder, and you covered your face and fell to the ground. If the referee blew a foul, it is estimated that there will be no need to enforce the next game in the Premier League!
Ferguson is not a person who suffers from words. This little trick is really not on the table.
The most important thing is that Carl's performance is too fake. If this happens in Old Trafford, it is estimated that Carl can be killed by Manchester United fans in Dream Theater with boos.
It's still home in Birmingham.
The game is still going on. It was just a funny little performance. How could Dan let go of this opportunity?
Seeing that Li Yu just buckled the football, although Carl's just now was fake, it still had a little effect on distracting Li Yu's attention. Dan thought that Li Yu was doomed to be impossible to avoid his foot.
So he kicked the football from the side.
Unexpectedly, when he was about to play football, a foot suddenly appeared in front of him!
It's just stuck between the football and his feet!
Dane, who couldn't help kicking Li Yu's right foot.
At that moment, Darn's heart stopped beating in an instant. He knows too well the meaning of this foot...
In the penalty area, no matter who is kicked like this, the next action will immediately shout. First, it attracts the attention of the referee, and then goes decadently to the end, covering the kicked foot, with a painful face. If there are a few more players with acting spirit rolling on the grass, the effect will be good...
Are you going to say that he is a fake fall? It was indeed kicked. If it's not a fake fall, this place is really a little too exaggerated...
But Manchester United No. 9 did not fall or make a sound. He didn't even frown.
Taking advantage of Dan's constered, he kicked the football forward with his right foot!
The body shrank slightly, and the whole body was like a run-off wild horse, instantly accelerating and galloping between the two.
At this time, Dane was still holding his hands high and making a surrender. This was not surrender to Li Yu, but indicating his innocence, indicating that the referee had not fouled. Unexpectedly, Li Yu not only didn't make a fake fall, but also took advantage of him to raise his hands, move his center of gravity back, temporarily left his empty space, and took the football out!
Birmingham's defensive players wanted to chase, but they bumped into their own people. Several people crowded together and could no longer threaten Li Yu.
Li Yu, who broke through the encirclement, was not necessarily easy. Finally, there was a person, Barry Ferguson, behind whom was Hart.
As long as Li Yu's ball is a little bigger, he will go directly to the foot of the Birmingham defender and lose all his previous efforts.
Not only that, he doesn't even have time to adjust. The two sides are very close!
How deep is the penalty area, so Li Yu finally got out of Carl and Dann. She didn't even have time to look up at the goal, so she flew out and hit the football before Barry Ferguson blocked it!
"Slightly hasty stab!"
Hart was absorbed and didn't expect Li Yu's hasty shot so suddenly and quickly. He quickly pressed his body down, hoping to hold the ball. However, I don't know whether Li Yu was deliberately or confused. The angle of the foot ball was very tricky - first, he drilled Barry's crotch, and the ball was slightly disguised.
Hart wanted to stop the ball. He had no choice but to block the ball with his feet when his body was already empty. He only saw Hart pedaling his legs twice in the air. It was a little funny. First, a Birmingham player acted as a self-director and wanted to deceive the referee. At this time, Birmingham's goalkeeper played air epilepsy again. .
Even if Hart couldn't touch the ball with his epileptic leg, it was more or less a subconscious natural reaction. Hart didn't think so much. Try to save the ball?
In the end, the ball was not saved, but the video of the epileptic leg became popular.
The football didn't get any blocking and rolled into the goal...
2:1, Manchester United overtook the score.
Ferguson ran around in front of the coach's bench excitedly, shouting excitedly, "This ball TMD is so beautiful!"
If this is heard, it will probably be Ferguson's top ten classic quotes.
The old man didn't say that. After a Champions League match, a reporter asked Ferguson how to describe the victory.
Ferguson said, "TMD, this is a great victory!"
Obviously, the old man was as excited as that time.
After scoring the goal, Li Yu took a look at Hart and said nothing. He turned around and left. The previous series of actions have been fully proved, and there is no need to talk about it!
The subsequent game returned to bland. Birmingham wanted to attack but did not have the courage to attack. After trying several attacks, Manchester United did not increase their investment in the attack. Since both sides are satisfied with this score, that's enough!
In the 80th minute, Valencia passed the ball, and Evra's shot from the left side of the penalty area was confiscated by Hart. A minute later, Scholes' shot from 25 yards missed the upper right corner.
Un until the 80th minute, Manchester United dominated the game, but then there was a small accident, which increased the suspense of the last few minutes. In the 84th minute, Fletcher was sent off with two yellow cards for a tactical foul against Jerome.
In the 85th minute, Brown's mistake almost gave a big gift, but Roger Johnson's shot was bravely saved by Kutsak.
Injury time for 6 minutes, Manchester United was unable to break the deadlock on the field at this time.
The score was finally fixed at 2:1. Manchester United regained the first place in the table with the advantage of 1 point ahead of the second-ranking Chelsea in multiple games.
Manchester United drew 2-1 away with the promoted Birmingham. On-duty referee Kratenberg sent off Manchester United midfielder Fletcher in the 84th minute. This caused Ferguson's fury. After the game, the Lord bombarded Kratenberg fiercely: "I haven't seen a more sloof red card for a long time. It's absolutely ridiculous, really. This season, I paid attention to Kratenberg. He blew the match between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. In that game, his penalty was too loose. It seemed that someone had to cut people with an axe to take out his cards.
But just last night, the referee Kratenberg officially hit back at the Lord, "I'm right, you're wrong. That was the second yellow card. He (Fletcher) was sent off because he was warned because of a foul (to Bowyer) before the end of the first half, and then he fouled the Birmingham player (Jerome) in the second half.
However, in that league game, in the goal that Manchester United scored in the 63rd minute, the Birmingham player also tried to stop Li Yu's goal with his performance. It was the referee's understanding that made Manchester United's overtaking.
The senior management of the FA confirmed that they are studying Ferguson's post-match conversation. A spokesman for the FA said, "Our independent committee will consider this matter." Because of the previous bombardment of referee Wiley, Ferguson has been suspended for four games (2 suspended) and fined 20,000 pounds this season. The Lord still has two suspended suspensions.
With the free fall of temperatures across the UK below zero, England entered the coldest winter since 1981-1982, and heavy snow made football stop. The Premier League broke a record last weekend, but it is not worth celebrating. Seven games were suspended due to bad weather, setting a record for the establishment of the Premier League in 1992. Last Saturday, the BBC's "Game of the Day" could only play the highlights of the two games of Arsenal and Manchester United. If it hadn't been for the tight schedule of the two teams and had to catch up with the ducks on the shelves, I'm afraid there would have been no Premier League to watch last weekend.
However, the BBC still found something interesting. In order to ensure that the game was held like this, the Arsenal Club staff took a flamethrower to the street near the Emirates Stadium early Saturday morning to ensure that the road was clear and that it was against Ever at 3 p.m. that day. The game can be carried out as scheduled. Everton's home stadium, Goodison Park, was equipped with a geothermal system in 1958. It was the first stadium in the country, but the problem was not the snow on the stadium, but the safety of the fans.
In this regard, Arsenal coach Wenger said, "This is the price we have to pay. Today, we live in a 100% safe society and cannot accept any risks. If one of the 60,000 fans has an accident, you will feel guilty. It is impossible for our society to accept even the smallest hidden dangers of insecurity. Arsenal's home make-up match against Bolton last Wednesday was forced to be cancelled four hours before the start of the game due to traffic problems. For this reason, Arsenal Club will pay for the travel expenses for the Bolton fans who have not been able to get the news in time.
Similarly, Manchester United's visit to Birmingham can be carried out as scheduled, and Ferguson should also be glad that the League Cup semi-final against Manchester City, which was scheduled for last Wednesday, was postponed due to heavy snow. If the game continues to be postponed, Manchester United will face the torment of weekly double matches in March and April.
