Chapter 288 Ferguson's Confusion
"...this is really...oh, this is really...ah, this is really..."
Looking at Sester, who was beside him, steadily pressing his head in momentum, the depression in Mike Donald's heart can be imagined. After sitting on the commentary table, he fell into a state of brain collapse for a moment.
There's nothing we can do. Manchester United, who played at home, actually played in such a situation, which really broke people's eyes!
...side the field!
Finally, Uncle Ferguson, the godfather of the Red Devil, who has been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, can no longer maintain his light and confident "wise man" appearance. The old Scottish man angrily spit out the chewing gum that had been chewed in his mouth and rushed to the side of the field to sacrifice his world-famous "hair dryer roar". Growling!
Watching Evra and C. Ronaldo, two of Manchester United's most trusted core figures on the court, were incredibly eaten to death by the "weak" Newcastle, Ferguson felt that his heart with a pacemaker was about to stop!
Unforgivable!
Absolutely unforgivable!!
And the head coach's roar is simply the roar of the abysss of the nine demon kings in the ears of Manchester United players on the court. Every Red Devils player knows it - the boss is very angry, and the consequences are very serious!
However, it's useless for Uncle Ferguson to roar, because it's an irrevocable fact that Newcastle got a penalty with a goal ahead!
... on the field!
All players withdrew from Manchester United's penalty area!
After showing the yellow gem God of war card to Evra, referee Marin Richardson signaled that Newcastle could select players to take the penalty kick!
Standing before the penalty spot is Michael Owen!
Because, after nearly six consecutive rounds of Newcastle's crazy goal performance, the former Liverpool Golden Boy has scored 23 league goals this season, ranking second in the Premier League shooter list with the current Liverpool's Spanish Golden Boy Fernando Torres, 5 goals behind Red Devil C Ronaldo, leading First, Blackburn's striker Santa Cruz scored 6 goals... With 3 rounds left in the league, in theory, Michael Owen is still very promising to compete for the league's top scorer this season!
When was the last time Michael won the league's top scorer?
Except for Owen's hardcore fans, not many people remember it!
Therefore, whether it is Golden Boy himself, Li Tongfan, or Newcastle fans, everyone hopes that Owen can win back the top scorer trophy for Magpie after the end of the season!
... Force~~~~ The whistle sounded!
Owen slowly withdrew from the penalty area, and then ran hard... It seemed that he was going to make a heavy artillery bombardment!
Left or right?
Red Devil's God Van der Sar saw clearly the range and direction of the opponent's swing at the moment when Owen's right foot was about to touch the football, and then immediately made a judgment!
Right side!!
With his toes on the ground, Van der Sar tried his best to open his arms to the right side of the goal!
At this moment, in the stands behind the goal, the Red Devils fans are still twisting their waists and swinging their legs and patting the seats to make noise to distract Owen's attention. Some bold and beautiful fans can't wait to expose their "outroar" to make Owen dizzy... But... swish!
Owen's instep did not make as loud as expected at the moment he touched the football!
The white football is like a fat parrot that has always been leisurely and full of aristocratic temperament. It slowly jumps high and then slowly falls on Manchester United's goal line... The Dream Theater is in an uproar!
It's actually... a whistle penalty?
Owen is too bold, isn't he? Do you dare to play at this time?
This time, the first person to react among the more than 70,000 people was the referee Marlin Richardson!
In the third second after the referee pointed his finger at the middle of the court to indicate that the goal was valid, the cheers of Newcastle fans and the boos of Manchester fans in the stands sounded... Michael Owen hugged Juan Mata again!
Newcastle players even collectively performed a "low-altitude gliding" on the lawn of Old Trafford, and more than a dozen obvious slipsmen stayed on the green field like a medal highlighting Newcastle's bravery!
......"...Michael Owen!!! A penalty full of artistic atmosphere! I have to admit that after two years of dormation in Newcastle, Owen has become more mature..." Sester took advantage in front of his enemy Donald today: "How similar this penalty kick is to the one Zidane scored against Buffon in the finals of the World Cup in Germany!! The ability of the crazy Li** player really makes other coaches ashamed..."
In the face of Sester's provocation, Donald was "speakless" with a black face!
Who made Manchester United really weak today!
... Forced~~~ The game continues!
Soon, the first half of the game has been going on for more than 40 minutes!
Manchester United's two goals behind set off a crazy counterattack!
Ferguson had to replace Carrick, who did not perform very well with Hargreaves, who had originally rotated to rest, so that with a tough general like Hargreaves to guard the rear, C-Ronaldo, Giggs, Fletcher and others can attack with all their strength!
The effect of substitution is obvious!
Manchester United has indeed recovered enough scene advantage in the face of crazy Li's 3-1-3-3 attack formation!
Because Joey Patton has devoted all his energy to defending Cristiano Ronaldo, the Newcastle defense led by Steven Taylor is under great pressure!
Rooney pulled to the side and formed Manchester United's new front-court wings with Giggs. There is only one Argentine beast Tvez left in the center position. Newcastle full-backs Jose Enrique and Habibi are simply turned into scum by the Welsh magic wings and small meat mud. The high-quality pass is like lighters and coins flying down from the stands, which are constantly input into Newcastle's penalty area... If it weren't for Tai Le had already gone through Lao Li's "back transformation"... If it hadn't been for the fact that the beast Tvez was too short... If it hadn't been for Manchester United's another Drogba-style power air bully in the front court... As long as one of the above three points was missing, it is estimated that it would have been able to equalize the score with high-altitude bombing!
However, Newcastle's frontcourt did not save face for Manchester United. Juan Mata and Duff, who have had two assists, have made Evra and Gary Neville suffer a lot, and Alan Smith's long-range shots and breakthroughs will also test the heart tolerance of Manchester United fans... The side!
The godfather of a generation, Ferguson, looked at Juan Mata and Alan Smith, who performed well on the court, and felt a little regretful!
At the beginning, Alan Smith was talented at Leeds United. He was not only the darling and prince of Elan Road Stadium, but also regarded as the hope of the future front line of England!
In the summer of 2004, Manchester United defeated many giant competitors and brought Smith to Old Trafford. People thought that a superstar would rise at Old Trafford, but Smith's development in Manchester was not as smooth as people thought. In the 06-07 match between Manchester United and Liverpool, Alan Smith broke his calf bone because of blocking the free kick of Norwegian heavy gunner Riser, and said goodbye to the season with a serious injury... After the end of the season, Alan Smith was soon ruthlessly abandoned by Manchester United!
And the matter of Juan Mata is well known to everyone, and he is the most typical old Trafford outcast!
However, what Ferguson didn't expect was that the two "waste wood" that he believed had no hope of further development actually burst into unimaginable energy under the madman Li's **!
Isn't this hitting his old face naked?
But to be honest, the problem of face is not what Uncle Ferguson is most concerned about. What the old Scottish old man is curious about is what method did the madman Li use to make some "depraved" players return to the peak?
You should know that in addition to the positive examples of Juan Mata and Alan Smith, the negative examples of Beckham and Ronaldo are also alive!
This season, under the leadership of Italy's gold medal leader Capello, Real Madrid completely lost the posture of last season's defeat. Last season's "Twin Championship" not only fought with Barcelona, but also got out early in the Champions League!
In the past, the two cores of Real Madrid, Ronaldo and Beckham, lost the glory of last season under Capello!
Beckham scored 5 assists and 2 goals in 28 appearances in the league, which is different from the data of 31 assists and 18 goals last season... As for Ronaldo?
It's worse!
After three months of injuries at the beginning of the season, the aliens made a comeback in the thousands of calls of the galactic battleship fans, but the next answer paper disappointed everyone, scoring only 8 goals in 17 starts! The conflict between the second half of the season and head coach Capello, the horrible aliens in the 06-07 season have sat on the bench of Bernabeu... There are rumors that Real Madrid is ready to clean up the super scorer who swept Europe last season!
It is not difficult for a player who has been "depraved" to burst out amazing energy again. The real difficulty is to make a group of "depraved" players become the focus of the green field again! Juan Mata, Michael Owen, Alan Smith... How on earth did the crazy Li do it?
The Red Devil Godfather stood on the sidelines and fell into meditation!
... Force~~~~ Until the referee Marin Richardson blew the whistle at the end of the first half of the game, the score on the court did not change again. Newcastle, who fought away from home, incredibly led Red Devils Manchester United 2-0 at Dream Theater Old Trafford! Michael Owen, the return of the king this season, is the one who made contributions to Newcastle, and the director of these two goals is Juan Mata, known as one of the top ten in Manchester United's history!
... At the same time, the other three games also ended the first half!
Tottenham Hotspur 0: 0 Liverpool!
Middlesbrough 2:0 Manchester United City!!
West Ham United 3:0 Portsmouth!!!
For Newcastle, the situation can only be regarded as not bad, but not optimistic!
Because the lead of two goals in the face of a team like the Red Devils and Manchester United in the half-time is not enough to guarantee the final victory! Middlesbrough's 2:0 and West Ham United's 3:0 can almost guarantee that they can each get three points at home!
In this way, even if Newcastle finally created a miracle victory over Manchester United away from home, there is still no guarantee that it will be in the top seven after the end of the season!
If you want to qualify for the League Cup, let's survive the second half first!
