Chapter 90
2013年10月2日，在欧冠小组赛的第二轮，曼联在客场1比1战平了顿涅茨克矿工。

After only one day of rest after returning home, on the afternoon of October 10th, Kintag immediately led his players to Sunderland, which is located in the northeast of England, and prepared to challenge their next league opponent in an away game the next day. Theresa.

Manchester United played a total of 3 games this week, and the next two games were away games. The players of Manchester United were already exhausted. From the two days of training, Kintiger has found that the players are tired and lack of energy. .

Jin Taige is preparing for a large-scale rotation in this game, so that the main lineup can get a better rest.

However, the good news is that Kanter is back, which made Kintag very happy. He repeatedly confirmed Kanter's injury, and the team doctor told him that there was no problem, so he was relieved to add Kanter to the starting list.

Today Manchester United sent a number of substitute players.

The standard 4-4-2 formation, let Alisson start at the goalkeeper position, the defense line has a combination of Jones and Van Dijk, Alonso and Rafael are separated on the left and right; midfielders Fletcher and Shinji Kagawa are on the left and right. Ashley Young and Valencia, forwards Icardi and Martial.

In this game, although Kintag has discharged most of the substitute players, but because of the excellent defense line and Sunderland's strength is not strong, Kintag is sure to completely freeze Sunderland's attack line.

And the final result of the game was exactly as Kintag thought, they froze Sunderland's attacking line and let Sunderland's attacking players go away empty-handed; but to Kintag's disappointment, although Sunderland didn't score, Manchester United didn't have any great chances to score.

In this game, Sunderland played a defensive counterattack, no, to be precise, it was a defense, and there was no counterattack at all.For most of the game, Sunderland's 11 players were all huddled in their own half-court defense, and Manchester United's players couldn't find any good opportunities at all.

Sunderland has already made up their minds. Facing the defending Premier League champions, if they can defend 1 point at home, they will win.Therefore, despite the huge boos of the fans, Sunderland defended at home with all their strength.

There are no big-name players in Sunderland, but there is one person who has to be mentioned, and this is O'Shea.

O'Shea once spent his glorious ten years at Manchester United. Since he joined the Red Devils in 1999, he was loaned to Bournemouth and Antwerp for two consecutive years to practice, and then returned to Manchester United. This stay lasted for ten years.From 2001 to 2011, O'Shea witnessed the ups and downs of Manchester United and the growth of a generation of stars. Although he moved to Sunderland in 2011, O'Shea has always been the veteran of Manchester United fans.

In the player tunnel, O'Shea looked at Manchester United's starting lineup and was filled with emotion.In this starting Manchester United lineup, except for Rafael, Fletcher and Valencia, he is not familiar with the rest.Even these three are young people from his younger generation, and they have grown into excellent players now.

Manchester United have successors.O'Shea thought with emotion.

He has won 1 Club World Cup, 1 Champions League trophy, 5 league championship trophies, 3 FA Cups and [-] League Cups at Manchester United.Manchester United gave him the stage and honor, and he left all his best youth there. All the best memories of professional football in his heart are all bright red.Those exciting games, those bloody goals, those desperate defenses, those brothers who shared weal and woe.

O'Shea looked at the Manchester United starting players in the player tunnel, and it seemed that his eyes were a little blurry. The Neville brothers, Keane, Scholes, Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy, those familiar figures seemed to be just yesterday, and he seemed to be Still wearing a bright red jersey, ready to fight for the glory of red.

O'Shea was in a daze, when a person walked in front of him and hugged him: "Brother, long time no see!"

O'Shea took a closer look: "Paul?"

It was Scholes who hugged O'Shea. Scholes came to the players' tunnel and came to see O'Shea specially.He looked at O'Shea in front of him, feeling very moved in his heart.Among the brothers of the Red Devils, there are not many who are still playing on the field. He looked at O'Shea and said happily: "It's good to see you."

"Yeah, that's great." O'Shea also said, he looked behind him, "Ryan and the others didn't start?"

Scholes nodded: "The last game was too fierce in the away game. They will take turns for this game."

"How does it feel to be an assistant coach?"

"It's pretty good, but every time I run out of the player tunnel, I still can't help but want to run to the field."

O'Shea was happy: "You retired, Ryan and the others didn't play, this game is much easier to play."

"We're definitely going to get the three points here."

"Let's wait and see."

When Scholes walked out of the player tunnel, O'Shea slowly came back to his senses.

Players from the two teams ran out of the player channel. O'Shea did not run on the field, but turned and ran to Manchester United's bench.He embraced Giggs, Vidic, Evra, Rooney, etc. one by one, embracing these former brothers.Giggs and others are also very happy to see that O'Shea can play the defensive core in Sunderland.

Leaving Manchester United is the way O'Shea chose, and the brothers sincerely wish him all the best.

Although off the court, O'Shea and Manchester United's old man are like a family; but after returning to the court, O'Shea suddenly changed his appearance.When he faced Manchester United players, he was merciless. When he made a tackle, he seemed to be facing an enemy, and he handled the ball neatly.O'Shea used his solid defense to block Manchester United's attacks one after another.

After the whole game, Manchester United's attacking group has done their best. The two new aids Icardi and Martial, the two fought until the last minute of the game, still trying to find a chance to score; Ashley Young and Valencia on the road also played wonderfully, threatening Sunderland's wing continuously; Alonso and Rafael also frequently assisted and stepped forward, wanting the team to assist in the offense.Although everyone worked hard, until the last minute of the game, Manchester United still failed to break through Sunderland's gate.

The final score was fixed at 0 to 0, Sunderland's tactics succeeded, they got the result they wanted, but Manchester United only took 1 point in the away game very regrettably.

In two consecutive rounds of away games, Jin Taige did not get the desired result. He was a little depressed, but this is the case in competitive sports, no one can win all the time.

After the game, Manchester United returned to Manchester overnight. On the bus home, Kintag was still not at ease. He thought to himself: I can finally spare time to deal with that matter...
