Jagged Wings

Chapter 39

"You guys performed poorly in the first half of the game!" Ferguson turned on the "hair dryer" mode again: "Are you all pigs? Why didn't you execute the tactics I gave you before the game? You two wingers Shit? How many chances were wasted for me in the first half! Look at your stats, the possession rate is 59% to 41%, and the number of shots is 7 to 3, but why is the score a draw?"

Both Ronaldo and Rooney lowered their heads, and their faces were not very good-looking. When Ferguson said this, everyone knew that he was referring to the two of them.

Keane looked at them, didn't speak, just sneered in his heart: I told you to talk back and call you alone, and you were criticized, right?
"There is still time to defend!" Ferguson directly opened the map gun, and the shooting area was very wide: "Everyone should run, and don't give too many one-on-one opportunities to the opposing team! They are good at technology, so give it to me Step harder!"

"And Roy, you are the captain, you must know how to control your temper. If you are impatient, how can you lead the team?"

"Ah? Oh, yes, coach." Keane didn't expect Ferguson to point his gun at him, and he was still secretly happy at this moment.

Ferguson scolded almost all the players, the only one he didn't touch was Carroll, he didn't even look at Carroll.

Since this season, I have said everything about Carroll and Ferguson, good and bad, encouraging and criticizing.But on the court, Carroll should still make mistakes and be stunned. Ferguson has nothing to say to him.

The only thing Ferguson thinks about is when the summer transfer window comes, the first thing is to sell the goalkeeper.

After scolding the players, Ferguson arranged the tactics for the second half.

**************
In the Arsenal locker room, Wenger encouraged everyone.

"Thank you for your hard work in the first half," Wenger clapped his hands, signaling for everyone to concentrate: "Especially Antonio, your goal was so beautiful."

Everyone let out a good-natured laugh.They all know the ins and outs of Reyes' goal.

This ball is not so much ability as it is an understanding of the opponent's weaknesses.Of course, Carol's cooperation is also an important part of success.

"It's a pity that Carol is not here, otherwise I would have hugged her and thanked him for his selfless indirect assist." Reyes laughed.

Cole ran over and grabbed Reyes, a little aggrieved: "Boss, you are not righteous, why don't you bring me with you for such a fun thing?"

Cole is the most lively.

"Okay, I will definitely give you a chance to perform."

*************
At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United, which was a little weak in the second half of the first half, once again radiated fighting spirit and launched wave after wave of offensives towards Arsenal's penalty area.

And Arsenal were not to be outdone, threatening Manchester United by counterattacking.

The tempo of the second half went very fast.

In the 51st minute, Roy Keane and Ruud van Nistelrooy kicked the wall and made a cross from the right side of the penalty area. Toure made a clearance ahead of the point. After 1 minute, Ronaldo's shot from 28 yards from the left went wide of the far corner.In the 57th minute, Rooney made a cross from Rooney, who broke through the center of Ronaldo and scored from the right. Ruud van Nistelrooy hooked a shot from 10 yards in front of the left side of the penalty area and went over the crossbar.

"Oh, Van Nistelrooy is wasting another chance! This is the first must-goal he wasted in this game? The fourth? The fifth? Should Manchester United consider substituting?" The Manchester United commentator began to give Ferguson made a plan.

But Ferguson was still firmly on the bench, chewing gum expressionlessly.He just tilted his head occasionally to exchange views with the assistant coach. He had no intention of substituting at all.

Substitution?who?With all of United's best strikers on the pitch, who could be more of a threat than Ruud van Nistelrooy?
In the 60th minute, Bergkamp passed a free kick from the right into the penalty area, Ferdinand made a header to clear the siege, and the volley from the left side of the penalty area was high.

Physically exhausted Bergkamp was then replaced by Ljungberg.

After Freddie Ljungberg came on the field, the position of Xiaofa moved to the middle behind Van Persie, which looked like a shadow striker.

With Xiaofa's support in front, Vieira can also devote his energy to protecting the sidewalk.So far, Lauren has given Manchester United countless free kicks and corner kicks. Except for fouls, he has no other way to stop Ronaldo's raid.

With the help of Vieira, Lauren finally felt a lot easier.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, Vieira and Lauren once again teamed up to cut off Ronaldo's football. After the ball was cut off, Ronaldo knelt on the ground and gasped.Running back and forth throughout the game consumed a lot of his physical energy. Even though he can still run now, the quality of offense will definitely be affected.

So in 69 minutes, Ferguson replaced Ronaldo with Giggs, intending to continue to attack Manchester United's left.

But he made a mistake, Giggs' speed was not as good as before, and Lauren was more comfortable defending him than Ronaldo.

Relieved, Arsenal can finally free up their hands to attack.

Senderos headed the ball over Rooney's head and Gilberto passed it to Cole who ran wide.

Reyes winked at Cole: You understand!
Cole also blinked: must!
Cole took the ball to face Fletcher's threat, and Reyes inserted behind Fletcher from one side.

Cole drove the ball upfield with a big kick, and Ferdinand grabbed the ball and drove the ball over the baseline.

"What are you doing, Ashley?"

"Didn't you wink at me and tell me to slap Carol out?" Cole looked blank.

"Fuck your sister's big feet!" Reyes said angrily, "I'm asking you to do a two-for-one cooperation with me!"

"..."

A few minutes later, Reyes got the ball from the left midfielder.Van Persie raised his hand for the ball in the frontcourt, and Reyes made a big long pass.The football is high and floating, flying towards Van Persie.Ferdinand felt that this scene seemed familiar. He looked back next to Van Persie, and Carol subconsciously ran forward to attack.

So Ferdinand pressed Van Persie to take off with peace of mind.

But when Ferdinand didn't see it, Carroll just subconsciously ran two steps, remembering the goal lost in the first half, and quickly shrank back.

Ferdinand got the ball and he slid it back a little to try to pass it to Carroll behind him.

The football didn't fly very far, and it was quite a distance from Carol who was guarding the goal.

After landing, Van Persie also saw this scene, and immediately turned around and chased after him.

Carol hastily struck.

If he doesn't attack at this time, then he, the goalkeeper, just hang up his boots.

Both were running towards the football. Although Van Persie was faster, the direction of the football was Carroll.

In the end, Carroll was the first to hold the ball in his arms, and Van Persie, who couldn't stop the car, tripped over him in embarrassment.

There was a sound of gasping in the stands. This was the best chance for the Arsenal team since the first half.

Van Persie, who had no chance, was also annoyed for a while. It was a pity that he missed the chance that came so hard.

But Van Persie did not expect the opportunity to go and come quickly.

Two minutes later, Gilberto seized the opportunity and also made a big pass from the backcourt.

With two consecutive chances, Arsenal's teammates found that Reyes' peculiar tactic is very useful, especially when molesting Carroll, it is definitely a god-defying pass.

Carol was about to cry: Don't bring such a thing!Do you want me to strike or not to strike?

Even Rio Ferdinand struggled: Who should it be passed on to?Carol obviously couldn't be trusted anymore. Although Sylvester on the left was a bit more reliable, there was a little Fa nearby who was stalking him.

Just when the two were struggling, football had arrived.

This time Van Persie took advantage of Ferdinand's distraction and finally grabbed the football once.

And even this time, it was fatal enough.Van Persie, who got the football, didn't waste the opportunity this time. He nimbly wiped Ferdinand, and then faced the attacking Carroll, shot low to the right corner of the goal, and the football rushed into the goal.

"Goal! Robin scored! This is Robin's sixth goal of the season, and without a doubt the most important one! At this moment, he made us forget about Henry!" Arsenal commentator Passionate and authentic.

"If you forget your father, you won't forget Henry!"

"Dare to slander my Henry, don't want to live anymore?"

"You only scored a few goals in a season, how dare you compare with Henry?"

The audience couldn't take it anymore, and began to scold the commentator. Henry's position in the hearts of Arsenal fans was infinitely close to a god. If anyone dared to slander their god, the consequences would be very serious.

After the score reached 2:1, Ferguson's expression on the sidelines became ugly. He had indeed given up on Carroll, but he didn't expect that Carroll himself would break the can.

Even if you don't want to play for Manchester United, you at least have to show your future buyers?Ferguson suddenly felt that Carroll was flawed not only in IQ, but also in golf quotient.

"Howard, go warm up!" Ferguson called the substitute goalkeeper.

In the 73rd minute of the second half, Manchester United replaced Carroll, who made two mistakes, and put on substitute goalkeeper Howard.
