Chapter 475 Increasing Tension

Sooner or later, you will have to pay it back, even if you are the defending champion of the Premier League. Following the uproar caused by a controversial penalty kick in the last round, Manchester United once again became the protagonist of a misjudgment against Wigan Athletic. However, this time they changed from beneficiaries to victims. The referee's two controversial penalties directly led to Manchester United's defeat away, and the lead in the table was also reduced to 5 points, the suspense of competing for the championship is on the rise again.

Last week, people felt that there was no suspense about the final champion of the Premier League, but this round was once again.

Before the game, Wigan Athletic scored only 28 points after 32 rounds, ranking second to last in the table and was struggling to relegation.

However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and Wigan Athletic has been misjudged in the past few rounds. In the last round, they lost 1-2 away to Chelsea. The home team Ivanovic was offside several meters before scoring a goal but was ignored by the lineman. Mata's stoppage time was suspected of interfering with the goalkeeper, and Wigan lost the key 1 point.

After the game, the misjudged head coach Martinez publicly expressed his anger, and the FA referee Riley, who knew himself was at a loss, finally had to apologize. The referee Dodd also made an unfavorable decision against Wigan in the first round of the two teams. The Wigan Club protested against the referee many times before the game. Perhaps the repeated pressure had an ideal effect. Wigan was no longer affected by misjudgment in this game, but unfortunately it turned into Manchester United.

In fact, when the game reached the 30th minute, there was a penalty that made the home team fans extremely angry. Wigan Athletic made a corner kick, and the striker Moses pressed Evra's header near the penalty area, but the assistant referee raised the flag to signal the foul first, and Dodd also blew the goal away. According to the slow-motion replay, there was no problem with Moses' header, but Wigan defender Caldwell interfered with De Gea's attack line and even reached out to push De Gea into the goal. There was indeed a foul action, and the referee Dodd's penalty was not a big problem.

Although the goal was blown away, which made Martinez think that his team had been treated unfairly again, in the second half, Wigan benefited because of the referee's two misjudgments. In the 50th minute, Maloney and Bossejour's tactical corner kick and the arc ball from the edge of the penalty area shot into the far corner, leading Wigan by 1 goal, but it can be seen through the slow replay that the corner kick that led to the goal did not actually exist.

Previously, Beausejour broke through from the left, and Phil Jones defended in place. In the process of the two, it was Beausejour who hit the ball out of the bottom line. Phil Jones raised his hand to indicate that he did not touch the ball, but the referee Dodd pointed to the corner flag. Although Phil Jones held his head in his hands in disbelief, he His argument did not help, and Wigan scored with this misjudgment.

Another controversial penalty appeared in the 72nd minute. Phil Jones made a cross from the right, and the ball hit his arm when Wigan defender Figueroa in the penalty area cleared the ball. This was a very obvious handball foul. Although the Manchester United players immediately complained, the referee and the lineman ignored it, and Manchester United also lost once. A penalty opportunity to equalize the score.

In the rest of the game, although Manchester United bombarded around the Wigan penalty area, they still could not save the defeat and finally had to swallow the bitter fruit of the defeat.

Since Wigan has suffered many losses due to referee problems before, this defending champion Manchester United is to pay off the debt for Chelsea. Ferguson was very angry after the game. He thought Wigan deserved the victory, but the referee missed an obvious penalty to Manchester United.

In fact, whether it is wrong or missed, it is part of the referee's judgment and part of the football game itself.

Manchester United was hacked by the referee in this game, which actually made the previous remarks about them "cared for by the referee". Although the lead has been reduced to 5 points, for Manchester United, even if the referee occasionally makes mistakes, the goal of the 21st crown will not be affected.

But what is worth attracting the attention of the Red Devils is that they can't relax their nervousness until the moment when they finally win the championship. Manchester United paid the price for their arrogance and down on the enemy today. Wigan taught the defending champion a good lesson with a more positive performance: never underestimate the heart of a relegation team!

Before the game, who would have thought that Manchester United, which had won 8 consecutive victories in the Premier League, was the guest relegation team Wigan, but lost to the opponent by a score of 0-1, and the lead also shrank to 5 points. After the game, Ancelotti believed that referee Dodd missed a penalty for Manchester United.

Ancelotti said, "Figroa's arm touched the ball. At this time, you have to see if he is too close to the passing point to avoid, but he is at least 15 yards away from the passing point. That was a clear penalty.

"This is a disappointing moment, but sometimes you can get a penalty, and sometimes you can't. Last Sunday, we got a penalty. You will say that big clubs will always get this kind of benefit, but in fact, we don't get anything. The referee Dodd's performance tonight was disappointing. He never really controlled the game.

"However, this can't hide the fact that we are weak. We only have one shot within the goal range. We beat slowly in every ball, and Wigan deserves to win. You must realize that Wigan is currently in the wrong position. They play one of the best footballs in this league, and you must believe that. You always hope to expand your lead. If you can do it, that's good, but considering our position a few months ago, you must accept today's reality. I said that both teams will lose points, and you will always lose points at some point.

Wigan coach Martinez is very proud of this victory. "The happiest thing is that the victory is not lucky. In the history of our team, we have never scored points from Manchester United before. We limited them and let Manchester United have only one shot in the game.

Football can only look forward. The league is not over yet. Manchester United must always be vigilant in the remaining games to ensure that there can't be any more problems.

In the last round of Manchester United's away game against Wigan Athletic, Scholes was arranged by Ancelotti, but without him, Manchester United seemed to be lost. The whole team could not find the offensive rhythm and was finally defeated by the opponent. In this round, because Manchester City has taken the lead in scoring 3 points, Ancelotti decisively re-placed Scholes in the starting lineup, and the Red Devils were also full of fire under the dispatch of Scholes, taking 4 goals to the visiting Aston Villa.

Since his comeback, Scholes has started a total of 10 games in the league for the team. Manchester United has maintained a complete victory. Scholes can be called Manchester United's lucky player!

In this game against Aston Villa, Manchester United still played the side attack they were familiar with. Mata and Valencia were very active, and the reason why they played freely was that Scholes delivered shells behind them, and it was also precision-guided missiles!

In the 12th minute, Scholes took the ball in the backcourt and found Valencia on the right with a beautiful 50-meter long pass, without a trace of deviation; in the 35th minute, it was another long pass by Scholes, and this time the one who received the ball was Mata on the left.

In the 45th and 47th minutes, Scholes made two consecutive long passes to Valencia. The Ecuadorians took the ball and launched a calm attack... In the game, you can often see Scholes sending such a precise pass at medium and long distances. In Manchester United's side-based offensive system, it is necessary to make full use of the width of the court. And the depth to create opportunities, the importance of Scholes is also highlighted.

With his "precision guidance", Manchester United can fully mobilize the opponent and open up space, bringing great flexibility to the offensive end. Although Scholes did not score or assist in this game, he still plays an irreplaceable role.

In fact, Scholes is not without a chance to score, but just unlucky. In the 24th minute, Scholes made a strong long-range shot from outside the penalty area on the Aston Villa defender. After the ball changed the line, it was obtained by Givn. In the 29th minute, Mata's corner was deliberately opened to the outside of the penalty area. Scholes did not stop the ball outside the penalty area and volleyed directly from the back of the outside. The ball roared to the goal with a strong rotation, but unfortunately Slightly out.

According to OPTA post-match data, Scholes made 63 of 67 passes in 78 minutes of playing time, with a pass success rate of 94%, and 4 shots. On the defensive end, Scholes contributed one break, seven counterattacks and two successful tackles, but he also got a yellow card for a foul on Abonrajo. In the post-match scoring session of Sky Sports, Scholes scored 7 points, and Sky Sports commented: "If Scholes plays well, Manchester United will play well."

Since his comeback, Scholes' performance has been amazing. Although he is 37 years old, there has been a high call for him to return to England to participate in this summer's European Cup.

Scholes withdrew from the national team angrily at the 2004 European Championships because he was dissatisfied with being arranged to play on the sidelines. His number of appearances for the Three Lions was also fixed at 66 games.

In 2010, Scholes had the opportunity to participate in the World Cup in South Africa, but he finally chose to give up. Scholes later revealed: "If they (Baldini and Capello) had asked me earlier, I might have accepted it. It's not that I must change my mind, but when I see the World Cup lineup formed little by little, I realize that I have made the wrong decision.

Scholes now has the opportunity to make up for his regret two years ago. Although he has not made a clear statement, the team members are eager to see his return.

Phil Jones, who made his debut for the national team this season, said: "I still remember the first time I was a teammate with Scholes, at the beginning of the season in his retirement farewell match. At that time, I thought he was incredible. Scholes is like a magnet on the field, and the ball is always under his control. I wouldn't be surprised if he appeared in the European Cup. I don't think his age is a problem. Some people may say that your pace is a little slow, but if you are smart enough and have a thorough understanding of the game, you can judge your opponent's movements in advance.

Smarin, who is also likely to be included in the European Cup list, said: "I'm sure that Scholes can also bring the influence on Manchester United to England. Scholes is unique. He has the ability to control the rhythm of the game. He may be called by the England team this summer. I believe that no matter who finally takes over the England team, Scholes is the player they want.

There is an old saying: "Teacher, so preach and teach to solve puzzles."

Scholes has always been known as a low-key midfield master. With him teaching on the training ground and field, it is definitely a valuable asset for Manchester United and England, which are also in the metabolic stage.

He is unique and cannot be copied. In today's football world, you may find countless players who can play amazing things, but it is difficult for you to see a master like Scholes who can make accurate long passes from 50 meters away. Although Scholes's return has brought us infinite surprises, he will leave the green field sooner or later. As fans, we just hope that the day will come as late as possible. 21 crowns? Maybe this is not the end of Scholes.

Come to the penultimate way! The 35th round of the Premier League between Manchester United and Everton was scheduled to be held at 12:30 p.m. local time.

In the first half, under the midday sun, the Manchester United players who played at home were not energetic, and Everton seemed to be more prepared. They turned away and suppressed the Red Devils who aspired to win the championship, but the absolute chance to score was not created. In the first half, in the 33rd minute, Everton scored without warning. Right-back Hibbert made a cross, and Winter's new player Jeravic's far goal post beat Rafael's header, and Everton unexpectedly took the lead.

After losing the ball, Manchester United woke up and immediately attacked Everton's goal. In the 41st minute, Nani's right foot passed the ball from the left, Li Yu scored a header in the penalty area, and Manchester United quickly equalized the score.

After equalizing the score, Manchester United's morale was greatly boosted, but failed to overtake the score in the first half. After the opening of the second half, Manchester United obviously entered the form earlier.

In the 57th minute, Nani headed the ball in front of the penalty area and gave the ball to Werbeck. Heibei easily dodged Haitinga in front of the penalty area and scored a beautiful arc ball. Three minutes later, Nani received Welbeck's knock and shot against Howard, which expanded the score to 3-1. It seems that Manchester United's victory has been grasped.

But Everton's goal came again! In the 67th minute, Hibbert sent a cross again with no defense on the right side. Evans obviously missed the ball in the penalty area. Fellaini volleyed from the side of his right foot, chasing the score to 2-3.

Two minutes later, Manchester United immediately responded. Welbeck's wonderful assist in the penalty area helped Li Yu widen the score gap into two goals again. 4-2!

There are only 20 minutes left in the game. Manchester United fans are already celebrating the victory in advance. A Manchester United fan raised a big card at Old Trafford with a whyalwayswe21 with a picture of a championship trophy on it.

No one expected that Everton performed a miracle at the last moment. In the 83rd minute, Phil Neville passed the ball to the penalty area. Manchester United's two central defenders Ferdinandand and Evans bumped into each other during the siege, and Yeravich shot angrily in the middle before Raphael in the middle.

Two minutes later, Everton made a comeback. In 85 minutes, Fellaini got rid of Evans in the penalty area and made a cross pass. Pinal scored with a shovel to equalize the score. Incredible and incredible! In just 29 minutes, the two sides scored six goals like mercury. After the game, Ferguson said, "I couldn't accept it at all at that time."

The game is coming to an end. If this score is maintained, the championship situation before Manchester will be reversed. As long as Manchester City defeats Manchester United in the next derby, the final championship of this season is likely to belong to another club in Manchester.

At the critical moment, someone needs to stand up. The Ferguson moment that people expect will be staged again, but can Ancelotti let the Red Devils stage now?

The last 5 minutes are the moment to witness the miracle.

The person who scored for everyone is Manchester United No. 9 Li Yu, who has scored twice before.

Just when people thought that the game would end like this, he stood up and maintained an advantage for Manchester United.

A series of breakthroughs, and finally a miraculously powerful bombardment, what a familiar series of actions. That's right, Li Yu ended the opponent in this way.

It also allowed Manchester United to overtake the score again at the last moment, which may not be described by Ferguson's moment. This is Li Yu's final kill, and all this credit should be given to the core of Manchester United.

"No. 9 kill! This is the best title given to Li Yu by the media!"

The post-match title of Sky Sports is "Old Trafford ushered in a miracle"; The Guardian said that "in a thrilling game in Old Trafford, Manchester United's goal at the last moment brought the biggest weight to Manchester United's defending title."

The Manchester Evening News said, "In such an incredible game at Old Trafford, Manchester United wasted a two-ball lead in the last 7 minutes. Everton brought a heavy blow to Manchester United's championship. Unexpectedly, a person stood up, Li Yu ended all this, and the final champion It's still on Manchester United's side!"

The title of The Mirror is "Crazy counterattack did not ruin the good days of Manchester United"!

This is also Manchester United's fourth super score this season after 8-2 blood-washed Arsenal, 1-6 slaughtered by Manchester City, and 3 consecutive away goals in a 3-3 draw with Chelsea.

In the pouring rain, Johart roared crazily and hit his chest with his teammate Colo Toure** to celebrate... This is after Manchester City defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 away in this round of the Premier League, the Manchester City players looked relatively calm. Was it the heavy rain or the final result of the Manchester United game that made them so calm.

The original 5-point gesture has been changed to 2 points by their efforts when there are still 3 rounds of the league. As long as the derby wins, there is still a chance.
