The most low-key superstar

Chapter 103 Second Half

Nicole's corner kick was taken and was cleared by Stubbs. Scholes from the outside kicked it over the lintel, and the referee blew the finishing whistle.

During the 15 minutes of the midfield, the head coaches of both sides were explaining the tactics and precautions to the players, while the fans went to solve their own problems, either to smoke a cigarette or to have a drink. In short, everyone Looking forward to the start of the second half.

Nichol kept in mind Ferguson's advice to 'strengthen the breakthrough'. After the second half started, Nichol got rid of Everton's interceptions continuously, but luck was on the side of the Toffees again when he shot at the end. The angle was a bit wide. Howard hugged him upright.

"Counter attack, Everton's chance, Arteta's long ball finds Gagielka, 3 on 3 up front, Gagielka dribbles, breaks through, GOOL! Gagielka, his goal gives Everton Got the lead, nice goal."

"Yeah!!!!" Everton's goal detonated the enthusiasm of more than 40000 fans in the stadium, and the cheers resounded through the sky.

"Pique, made a mistake. He was too anxious and rushed to give the opponent a chance. Now Manchester United is in danger. Everton's overall control in this game is very good. There is nothing special about Manchester United except for the free kick in the first half. Great opportunity."

In the 12 minutes of the second half, Fletcher was intercepted. Obviously, Fletcher's old problem of inattention was committed again. Originally, Nickel had already organized very well in the midfield. He passed the ball to Fletcher. He moved forward to respond, but Fletcher passed a soft ball and was caught by Arteta. At this time, Manchester United was pressing forward as a whole and was hit by a beautiful counterattack by the opponent.

As a defender, but used as a striker by the head coach, Gajirka must have his characteristics. This ball speaks for itself. Gajirka's speed, technique, and especially his calm mind are vividly displayed. No wonder Moyes is blunt. Moved him to the front line.

Mr. Ferguson sat on the seat and did not express anything. Van der Sala got up from Pique who was still sitting on the ground. The young man was still regretting his mistakes. Nicole looked at the tall Spaniard and knew that he The life of Vidic is not as good as he thought, and Vidic's rapid rise is destined to be an unsuccessful passer-by for Manchester United.

Putting all that aside, the game resumed quickly, with Everton playing their favorite defensive counterattack. After scoring the goal, Gajirka's confidence soared, and he had another chance in just a few minutes. However, Van der Sar's experience saved Manchester United. If they fall behind by two goals, the game will end early.

In the 25th minute, Scholes broke through with the ball and handed the ball to Nicole before the opponent closed. Behind the defender, Tevez's explosive power gave him a starting speed that most people didn't have. Everton's defense was completely penetrated by Nicole's scalpel-like precise pass. Tevez followed up without offside. Against goalkeeper Howard, Carlos Tevez made a low shot with his left foot, but he encountered an almost unbeatable opponent today. Howard's prediction helped him to block this must-go ball again with his toe.

"Oh!!" The Everton fans marveled at the team's narrow escape.

"Today, Howard showed phenomenal strength. He saved Manchester United's two must-have goals. It can be said that Everton is still leading now. The biggest contributor is goalkeeper Howard. Facing his old club Howard used his World-class saves to stop United's goal," Morrison raved about Howard's performance.

Hush!Hush!The fans are encouraging Everton, who is now passive, with rhythmic applause.

Although there are not many Manchester United fans, they still use their singing to express their support for the team. Although they cannot compare with Everton fans, they are very good at using the interval:
"Glory, glory, Man United,
Glory, glory, Man United,
Glory, glory, Man United,
Andthereds go marching on, on, on
"

The support of the fans encouraged the players on both sides to exert greater strength to compete and fight hard, and the lagging Manchester United finally showed their kingly demeanor. They ran more actively, interspersed non-stop, and defended desperately. The same was true for Nickel. , Everton's players are not far behind, the scene changed from the boring first half, now it is fierce but exciting.

"Arteta, shoot, oh, Van der Sar, Van der Sar made a contribution. He made a beautiful save and blocked Everton's goal. It seems that the goalkeepers of both sides became the protagonists of the game today."

"Tevez, pass, beautiful pass, unfortunately Saha failed to stop the ball, Manchester United also missed a good opportunity."

In the 37th minute, Everton played beautifully. The players in the frontcourt used quick movement and accurate passes. After tearing out the gap, Arteta once again found a good shot, but he did not notice Nicole behind him. , when he adjusted his pace, Nicole had already put the playback in place. When the Spaniard swung his leg to shoot, Arteta felt empty under his feet, a center of gravity was unstable, and fell to the ground. It turned out that Nicole took the first step to poke the ball out of the baseline .

Time was running out, and Manchester United players gradually became impatient. Under the command of Moyes, Everton slowly recovered, and Gagielka also returned to his most familiar position as a defender, leaving only Andy in front. Johnson contained Manchester United's defense alone, Ferguson also made adjustments, Rooney went into battle, increased the opponent's contact points in the penalty area, and replaced defender Pique.

Rooney, shot, hit high;
Scholes shot from long distance, hit Saha, bounced back;
Park Ji-sung cuts in and is broken out of the bottom line by the opponent;

Tevez fell in the penalty area, the referee signaled him to stand up, but did not punish him for diving, which also attracted boos from the fans.

Time is running out, the referee is already looking at his watch, and the fourth official also holds up the electronic card. After 2 minutes of stoppage time, the Everton fans have already started to celebrate the victory. Nicole is still looking for opportunities. Now the ball is in his At his feet, even Johnson returned to his own half to participate in the defense. Seeing that there was no chance, Nickel was heartbroken and rushed to the opponent's penalty area with the ball.
