The most low-key superstar

Chapter 144 - Backlash

After Giovanni came on the field, Nickle's defensive pressure suddenly increased a lot. This guy's skills are quite fancy, and Nickle had to stare at him for fear of being accidentally deceived by him.

In the 30th minute, Manchester City counterattacked. This is a corner kick from Manchester United. It may be the reason for Manchester United's continuous attack just now. Look for opportunities in the opponent's penalty area.

Giggs took a low corner kick and was caught by Petrov, who sent a long pass to the frontcourt. When Carrick was chasing the ball, his feet slipped suddenly. Vassell, who was behind him, saw the opportunity and accelerated violently. , overtook Carrick, whose center of gravity was unstable, and walked away. Because Carrick was in a good position, the other defensive players Evra and Brown were already running to meet Carrick. I didn't expect Carrick to The loss of balance gave Vassell a chance.

Although they tried hard to chase back, for a player like Vassell, it is more difficult not to score than to score. He easily passed Van der Sar and gently pushed the ball into the net. Manchester City The away game took the lead.

To be able to score in a derby, especially at home to Manchester United, is a dream for a player.Vassell has this kind of mentality. Although he has scored many goals in his career, today's goal still makes him extremely excited.

Even at the expense of a yellow card, he took off his shirt and ran to the stands of Manchester City fans to share with them, but to his disappointment, the boos of 7 Manchester United fans affected his good mood, and the referee also came over to give He is shown a yellow card.

Ferguson frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Carrick's low-level mistakes, but he sat there without moving.

After conceding the goal, Manchester United pressed hard, especially Giggs frequently asked for the ball on the left, and used his sharp breakthrough to attack Manchester City's defense. Nickle also had to run, pull, and respond. Without any substantive progress, the Manchester City team, which is dedicated to defending, is united and has repeatedly resolved Manchester United's offense.

Giggs' continuous sprints caused some physical decline. In the 43rd minute, he made a breakthrough gesture and attracted the opponent's attention. After that, he suddenly transferred the ball and handed him to Scholes. Scholes did not stop the ball. , quickly sent the ball to the back of the opponent's defensive player, but to his regret, Carrick, who should have been in place, did not move forward, but stayed behind Scholes' right rear.

Seeing this opportunity, Richards passed the ball vigorously, Vassell started quickly, the ball was behind Vidic, Vassell surpassed Vidic, rushed to the goal with the ball, Ferdinand had to Giving up his position and coming to make up for it, he even planned to make a foul to stop the opponent. Although such a foul would definitely get a red card, Ferdinand had no choice.

Vassell did not give Ferdinand a chance. Another group of fast horses from Manchester City had already responded. Vassell made a cross pass. The ball was passed very well with a small arc.

Although Van der Sar tried his best to block, but did not stop Benjani's goal. The one-handed ball was too fake for Benjani with delicate skills. He simply stepped on a few bicycles and passed. Van der Sar gave Manchester City a two-goal lead.

It’s unbelievable. The fans of Manchester City shouted, laughed, shouted and sang crazily. They tried their best to praise Benjani and the Manchester City team. After ten years of derby wins, they finally felt proud today, although it was only the first half However, these surprises to the fans are enough.

On the contrary, most of Manchester United's fans are silent. They don't believe that the Red Devils, who are invincible and all-conquering, were beaten so miserably by their rivals in the same city.

The first half is over.

Mr. Ferguson, with a gloomy face, took the lead to go to the dressing room, and the Manchester United players followed in dejectedly. Among them were the smiling Manchester City players. The contrast was very sharp.

The fans have relieved a lot from the blow. They re-inspired their courage and cheered for the team with singing and applause. The advantages of a large number of people are well reflected. The voices of Manchester City fans can hardly be heard. This is the home court.

Nickel is in a heavy mood now. Mr. Ferguson did not lose his temper as Nicole imagined in the locker room. Instead, he assigned tasks calmly, adjusted tactics, and replaced personnel. Of course, the one who was replaced was Carrick, who was in poor form today. , He was replaced by Nani, and Nicole returned to the middle.

At the same time, Mr. Ferguson also made a lot of tactical adjustments. The team's organizational responsibility returned to the center, with Nicole as the organization center, Nani and Giggs as the cover, but ready to become the main attack at any time, and Scholes was in charge. Protect Nicole.

It’s not too late. Coach Ferguson asked Nicole to take on the heavy responsibility of intercepting the opponent’s counterattack at the same time. possible.

In the second half, after the game restarted, Manchester City's players didn't feel any difference. Manchester United still made breakthroughs on both sides. Maybe it's because Nani just played. He got more chances.

However, less than 10 minutes later, Eriksson couldn't sit still. He found that although Manchester United's tactics hadn't changed much, it was now very logical. The ball in the middle always had to mobilize Manchester City's defense. The movement, sometimes left, sometimes right, the person who played the ball was Nickel, he was not in a hurry to pass the ball, Nickel took the ball leisurely, pulled Manchester City's defense line, and then saw the opportunity , It is the ball behind the back, and the wide players are much more threatening when they break through.

More importantly, Manchester United's two full-backs are very resolute. With the cover of the midfielder, their breakthrough pass is even more threatening.

Eriksson stood on the sidelines and gave Harman face-to-face instructions. Obviously, he asked Harman to pay attention to Nicole, and the game continued.

In the 15th minute, Scholes and Nicole made a wall-hitting two-for-one, and Harman's focus had no effect on Nicole at all.

After passing Harman, Nickel did not divide the side, but suddenly accelerated and broke through the middle. The unprepared Manchester City's defense suddenly became chaotic. Nickle had been delaying the dispatch just now, and he had resolved the two of Manchester City's defenses. It was the second counterattack. Benjani was very weak in the face of Nicole. His speed and strength were at a disadvantage, and his technical advantages could not be brought into play at all. Not to mention that Nichol's technology is not necessarily inferior to him.

"Oh! Our Nickle's sudden forward, caught Manchester City a little off guard, Richards came over, neutral, and Nickle passed the ball."

"Dangerous! Behind Dunn."

"C Ronaldo!"

"Shoot! GOAL! Cristiano-Ronaldo!"
