Head

Chapter 101 What I want is this feeling 1
Failing to digest Toffee, Ferguson's mood didn't seem to be affected. Most of the people who played in that game appeared in the early match against West Ham United. In the eyes of many people, it was Sir Alex who used a game that was likely to be lost as a price to allow the players to make a good adjustment before the end of the February game.

Sure enough, in this game against West Ham, Grafite continued his miraculous performance after he came to England, scoring a goal and assisting Rooney to score a goal. Old Trafford beat West Ham 3-0.

And at the weekend, Manchester United will fight for their first title of the season.

On the evening of February 2010, 2, Wembley Stadium in London.

The first English League Cup will be played here.

After winning the championship last season, Manchester United once again reached the final of this competition.

Their opponent is Aston Villa.

Before the game, the whole of London was filled with the atmosphere of the competition. Although the two teams do not belong to London, there are quite a few fans belonging to the two teams. For fans, going to London on weekends is not a boring thing. Let alone to watch the game.

As a holy place for English football, nearly 8 people attended Wembley Stadium today. Although it was not full, it also involved some security issues.

This is already the third time the two teams have played against each other this season. In the first half of this month, Manchester United had a small victory away from their opponents. In addition to the last round of Premier League victory, Ferguson decisively used the offensive lineup in this game.

The goalkeeper is still thirteen. Although Kuschak played most of the League Cup, this time it is the final. Regardless of the considerations, Ferguson chose thirteen.

The right back sent Rafael who has been in good form recently, the veteran Gary Neville had some minor injuries and sat on the bench, the center back was Nemanja Vidic and Evans' partner, and Evra was on the left.

Ferguson's arrangement today is to press the left, so David Silva is used as the left midfielder, and Giggs is pushed up to the front line by him. The meaning is, try to give the more troublesome things to young people to do, so as to help exercise.

In the middle is Mike. This time he has a lot of room for movement. For this reason, Ferguson rarely asked Rooney to retreat to get the ball to reduce his burden.

On the right is still Valencia, the Ecuadorian has already been favored by many people, and many people no longer simply compare him with Ronaldo, because the past games of this season have proved that he can carry the backbone of Manchester United on the right, no matter what This used to be the Great Immortal Road, but now, this corridor belongs to him.

And judging from Ferguson's arrangement, no matter whether it's Park Ji-sung who performed well last season as a substitute, Welbeck who has played more as a substitute now, or Mike who is a cameo, they are not enough to threaten Valencia's main position on this line.

If there are any fixed positions in Manchester United today, there are only three, Rooney, Thirteen and him. Even Giggs has been rotated for a long time, although a large part of this is because Ferguson wants to train young players. players.

Owen stepped forward, and Grafite, who had already won the favor of Manchester United fans, sat on the bench.

On Villa's side, the goalkeeper is still American veteran Friedel.

Defenders Luke Young, Dunn, Cuellar, Warnock.

Midfielders Ashley Young, Petrov, Milner, Downing.

Strikers Abanglaho and Husky.Almost the same as the last match, the typical 442 parallel stance.

Compared with Manchester United, Villa has been ignorant of the League Cup for more than ten years. Of course, for a team eager to qualify for the Champions League, this game is actually full of hesitation for them, because in In the previous league game, Martin O'Neill's team was tied by Hull City, and they are far away from the top four in the league.

Manchester City, who used to be worse than them, seems to have replaced Liverpool, at least in the standings. Since they were ruined by Liverpool and Arsenal, they have no place in the league. What an advantage, and now it is overwhelmed by Tottenham. Maybe after the next league game, Liverpool will be able to overtake from behind.

Both teams have had a strange year, Manchester United looked like they were playing poorly but they were the leaders, Villa looked better than ever but struggled in No.6.

Could this be the gap!
Maybe you shouldn't think too much, the result of greed is often nothing.

Now what Martin O'Neill is hesitating is whether to forcefully win this game to qualify for the UEFA Cup or give up, accumulating strength to fight for the somewhat distant Champions Cup qualification.

Of course, maybe he didn't turn the corner, because regardless of the outcome, he basically won the UEFA Cup qualification, because Manchester United can't lose the European qualification after the next ten league games!

Despite the hesitation in his heart, he still made an intention to win the game before the game. Regardless of other things, he must fight for at least half of the game. If there is no such effort, then the Champions League is meaningless, except for the eye-catching bonus. .

Martin O'Neill should be a little happier, because the desire to win shown by his players is far stronger than he imagined.

Regardless of whether it is Heskey or Abang Laho, 10 minutes after the kick-off has given Thirteen a taste of the power of the England striker, although the two of them have not yet had a clear position in Capello.

In the 3rd minute, Rafael fouled Downing in front of the penalty area. The latter's free kick directly found Hesky in the middle. Compared with Evans, his physical advantage was indeed quite deterrent.

It's just that his header was too straight, and Shisan took it fairly easily.

One minute later, Mike's pass in the middle was cut off, and Milner quickly made a pass from the bottom after receiving the ball. Abang Laho bypassed Vidic's front point and pushed the ball, and blocked the ball with thirteen hands and feet.

In the next few minutes, Villa's momentum was like a rainbow, and Manchester United's backcourt could hardly breathe. The tension caused the fans behind Shisan to forget to cheer.

Threats do not necessarily lead to goals. Abanglaho and Heskey are fighting for England's striker position, but their attacks gave Thirteen unintentional opportunities to perform. Continuous catches and saves made the statistics rough After 10 minutes, the recorder of the system suddenly discovered that the number of thirteen saves had reached seven.

Although this is just a rough memory, its effectiveness needs to be re-determined, but even if it is calculated as one-third, there should be two successful saves, and this situation has been maintained throughout the game, so Thirteen is in the league save data list The general quickly entered the lead and then widened the gap with the opponents behind. However, it seems that Thirteen has fifty times now, which is nearly half of the No.1 Burnley's Jenson. The power of defense is nirvana!It seems that Manchester United's defenders are still working very hard!

Finally it was Manchester United's turn to counterattack. Valencia's cross was destroyed by Dunn and went out of the baseline.

This was Manchester United's first corner kick, and Villa's players were obviously not prepared to defend Manchester United's tactical corner kick.

After Silva received the ball, there were strangely no Villa players within two meters of him.

Faced with such a situation, the Spaniard pulled the ball to his side with his left foot, made some adjustments, and shot with his foot.

American veteran Friedel's position was good. Although he was not well-prepared, when he jumped up, he still poked the ball, and the football folded and flew out of the bottom line.

Then Mike began to consciously organize forward and shifted his position to Villa's half. Such a narrow offensive range also reduced the burden on the defense to a certain extent. Of course, the risk in such a situation is not small. As long as it is broken, Then Villa will become quite smooth when counterattacking.

However, the fire suppression Mike chose kept Villa's players within the half-court to a certain extent. Even if a ball leaked, it was cut off by the pressed Manchester United defense.

The game seems to be starting to lean towards Manchester United.

No. In the 20th minute, Mike gave the ball to Silva, who took a few steps, and waited until Giggs entered the penalty area to pass through decisively.

After receiving the ball, Giggs swayed and staggered Luke Young who was defending him, and then chose to shoot himself.

It's just that maybe because he hasn't shot for a long time, he made a mistake in his sense of direction, and he volleyed with full force, rushing to the outside of the side net.

However, Manchester United, which reversed the situation, would not give up because of unsuccessful shots. With consecutive tackles from midfielders and defenders, football once again returned to Manchester United's control.This time Mike did not rush to attack, but firmly controlled the ball under his feet, and when the assisting players on both sides came up, he suddenly lifted the ball to the penalty area.

Villa's defense, which was stretched a bit due to the large number of Manchester United wide players, suddenly had a loophole.

"Strike!" Ferguson, who was sitting on the coach's bench, jumped up excitedly.

Rooney, who was asked by Ferguson to retreat, stood sideways against Dunn on the penalty area line, padded the ball, and the football flew over the head of Cuellar, who had been replaced, and ran towards Irving, who was missed.

Without thinking about himself and not being offside, Owen quickly took a step forward to remove the ball from his chest, made almost no other adjustments, and shot with his unaccustomed left foot.

"Michael Owen, SHOT!" Wembley's commentator is an old fan. Of course, an old fan is not necessarily old. He is always qualified. He is the kind of England fan who watched Owen grow up.The affection for Owen is not even worse than that of some irons.

The "crack" football did not fly into the goal as expected, and the experience of any aging goalkeeper cannot be ignored.

When Owen shot, the veteran didn't attack like many young people. Of course, you can understand that he was too old to react in time, but his movement in front of the goal successfully blocked Owen's shot.

This ball is dealt with by Thirteen, and the probability of being headshot is also very high, because if it were him, nine times out of ten, he would want to catch Owen's shot when he stopped the ball, but the striker has so many shooting methods, why? Just have to stop, although the power of the shot is more powerful, but the opportunity will be missed.

Owen's decisiveness this time is correct, even if he is as critical as Ferguson, he will praise him, but he is also very helpless, standing in front of the goal is an experienced old goalkeeper.

They may not have young people who can jump and jump, but their position selection does make many shooters lament that the goal is too small.

"Why is he so excited!" It was Tony who was sitting next to Ferguson before. He was startled by the old man's sudden standing up and thought something happened, but he followed the direction the old man was looking. It was nothing. Looking at it, isn't it just a lob, what's the big deal.

"He's going to be excited, because he's waiting for this moment!" Mike Phelan's words didn't make Tony understand, looking at him, he added: "This is the pass that Alex has been looking forward to for a long time, I heard him say before that when Mike was selected to enter Carrington, it was because of a pass from Mike, it should be such a sling pass!"

"It's nothing! It's just good luck. I miss people in the middle. I think direct passes are more effective!" Tony curled his lips. Although he is only a goalkeeper coach, he has watched a lot of games. In his eyes, the lob No threat by any means.

"Heh, anyone who has played football knows that footballs falling from the sky are the most prone to accidents. Of course, for you goalkeepers, it is more abnormal to hit a straight ball vigorously, because if you slam a person and change direction, there is no way to save it." Meulensteen interrupted.

"But for other players, this kind of ball is most suitable for one kick when someone is pressing. Just now Owen and Rooney both did a good job and were decisive enough. It's just bad luck!"

"I still don't understand!" Tony didn't care about the almost contemptuous gazes of the two.

"Because that kind of passing defender agrees to make mistakes, the most difficult to clear is this kind of ball. If the power is too strong, it is easy to miss the ball, and if the power is weak, it is easy to change to the opponent's ball! Now you understand!" Meulensteen was a little hysterical up.

"I understand, I understand, but can't I push it out?" Tony still looked puzzled.

"Hmph! Hit? Why do you do it? The speed of the fall is so fast. Nine times out of ten you can hit your nose with your forehead. It's not sure where the rest will go!"

"Uh, it sounds like it's hard to guard against, so why aren't many people using it!" Very professional, very sharp!
"Who is okay to use this! It may not be able to pass in place, and if it is bigger, it is the goalkeeper. It is better to just lob it!"

"Cut, it turned out to be tasteless, making it seem like the world is invincible!"

"It's rare to tell you that there are people like you in one muscle!" Meulensteen was helpless, he blamed himself for interjecting, and looked at other Feilan, completely ignoring what was going on outside the window.

"Fuck, what are you talking about!"

"Okay, you two, stop arguing and watch the game!"

Manchester United's corner kick has been taken on the field, Villa made a clearance, and Milner quickly passed the half-time after receiving it, and ran in front of them.

PS: Quack, how about getting Guardiola here!This is because the uncle has already rejected Barcelona's contract extension. If he comes, then Mike is blessed!Brother is thinking about whether to let the old man work for one year or two years, and he can't really work until he is eighty, then he will not respect the old and love the young!

By the way, I'm going to revenge Burnley later, do you have children's shoes to watch?After reading it, you can comment!
