The Manchester City players and fans were stunned and mad.

They were wondering how to equalise in the second half, but they didn't expect to be stolen by Manchester United in the last minute of the first half.

"Referees, they're violating!"

"Referee, this ball can't be counted!"

"Johnson! Why don't you stand in the way of that lewd fellow!"

"Is the backline asleep? Don't see Nani running?"

"A herd of pigs! Don't you look at people?"

……

Manchester City's players went to the referee to complain about their teammates, and the Manchester City fans angrily scolded the players, and there was chaos on the pitch and in the stands.

Manchester United's players and fans were also in turmoil, but they were happy, the players hugged each other wildly, jumping and jumping, and even the old Paul Scholes hugged the young people.

Ferguson, who was on the sidelines, had been racking his brains to think about how to deal with the second half when Manchester United was passively defending, and when he just thought about it, he didn't expect Manchester United to score again.

2:0 and 1:0 are completely different, 1:0 is definitely not able to defend, the variables are too great, and you need to continue to make a fuss about the offense, but 2:0, you can completely reduce the offense to the minimum, and you can pay close attention to the defense.

"This kid is always able to drive opponents crazy. Ferguson looked at the celebratory players on the pitch and couldn't hide the smiles on his faces, and turned back to the dressing room.

In the away dressing room, Roberto Mancini was furious.

The first goal is forgotten, the defense is basically in place, Gao Xiaodong's grabbing point, it is difficult for anyone to keep up, only one goal is conceded, Manchester City still has hope, but the second goal conceded is too low-level and too deadly.

It was an FA Cup semi-final, a win-or-lose, and two goals down at half-time almost lost the chance to qualify for the final.

It was the only game where Manchester City had any hope of winning the title, and the half-time loss of hope made Mancini account for the billionaires in the Middle East.

"You guys are doing it! Do you know who your opponent is? That's Manchester United! Holding the ball is that cunning Chinese, why would he make such a low-level mistake, no one stopped him from serving a free kick quickly, and no one defended Nani in front of him, as a professional player, as long as the whistle at the end of the game is not blown, you must be on high alert, not to think about what is wrong......"

This time Mancini was angry and no one collided, even the most muddy Balotelli lowered his head and did not speak, the last goal conceded really should not be, they underestimated Gao Xiaodong's offensive instinct, and ten seconds of distraction allowed the opponent to score the second goal.

Manich took this opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction with these big-name players a few days ago, but now is the most critical moment for the team, even if these players are scolded to death, it is useless, and they have to rely on them to play in the second half. Apart from the two goals conceded, we didn't play badly for most of the first half, the details decided the result, it's not the time to despair, there are still 45 minutes to go, and if we can play a quality game, we still have a chance to qualify for the final......

Mancini then pointed out the problems that had occurred in the first half and adjusted the way he played in the second half.

The second goal conceded by Manchester City in the first half was caused by a low-level error, the first goal was conceded from the wing, and United's other threatening attacks also came from the wing, Manic was ready to launch a strong attack from the wing in the second half, suppressing Manchester United's attack with an attack, and striving to score early.

In order to achieve his tactical goals, Mancini also replaced Adam Johnson and brought on Wright Phillips to strengthen the flexibility and speed of the wing attack.

At halftime, Manchester United did not make substitutions, Ferguson was still satisfied with the first half, although there was a period of suppression by Manchester City, the 2:0 score showed that Manchester United still has the ability to counterattack, and in the second half, Manchester City's attack will be more crazy, and Manchester United will only have more counter-attacking opportunities at that time.

At the start of the second half, City quickly attacked from the wings, not only with two wing-backs, Silva and Wright. Phyllis pressed on either side of the United penalty area, with City's two full-backs, Zabaleta and Kolarov, also providing the assist through the half.

Mancini's substitutions worked well, with Wright Jr.'s speed and agility being better than Adam Johnson's, and Wright Jr. also being able to cut inside and switch places with David Silva.

Manchester United right-back O'Shea had no problems dealing with Adam Johnson in the first half and performed well, but it was very difficult to deal with Wright Jr., who started quickly and changed his direction quickly.

At the start of the second half, Wright Jr. formed a breakthrough from O'Shea's side.

Yaya Toure divided the ball in the middle, Wright Jr. received the ball and quickly went down, O'Shea had to follow, Wright Jr. suddenly stopped suddenly, and without waiting for O'Shea to "brake", Wright Jr. then started again, and directly shook O'Shea to a stumbling stagger.

Wright Jr. broke through to the bottom line and crossed to the penalty area.

The cross was a big threat and the rest of United's players were yet to return to the box, with only two centre-backs in the middle to finch Balotelli.

Like a cross from the bottom line, as long as it reaches the small penalty area, the central defender easily does not dare to clear the siege, and the first choice is to get stuck in the position, not allowing the opponent to grab the point player to touch the ball, and there is really no way to risk clearing.

After half-time criticism by Mancini. Balotelli was a positive runner in the second half, and when Wright Jr. crossed, Balotelli scrambled quickly down the middle, and Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand didn't have time to close the net.

Vidic was in front of him, he didn't dare to let the ball go, Balotelli was right behind him, Vidic faced the ball that flew quickly and fell straight to the ground to clear the ball.

Almost at the same time, Balotelli also shoveled with his feet, Vidic's leg was touched by Balotelli, and the action of falling to the ground to clear the siege was out of shape, and Vidic's foot was swinging outward when he fell to the ground to tackle, but after Balotelli touched it, the ball almost went to the goal.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was so surprised that he made a quick save, but the ball flew off the bottom line against the post.

Vidic's heart fell into his stomach as he watched the ball go off the line, and he gave Rio Ferdinand a high-five, and quickly called for his team-mates to come over and defend the corner.

The on-site commentator He Hui shouted "so dangerous" several times, and then said: "This foot is really dangerous, Wright Jr.'s breakthrough on the side is very flexible, O'Shea can't stop him, Ferguson must change quickly." ”

He Hui is right, but of course he can see Ferguson, but Ferg did not make adjustments immediately, he wants to see the tactical changes after Manchester City replaced Wright, and also look at Wright's weaknesses, and then make targeted adjustments.

It's not that Ferguson is conservative, now that United are two goals ahead and have the initiative, Ferguson has plenty of time to observe and think, even if he concedes.

The 1.92-meter-tall, 30-year-old O'Shea had too much trouble defending Wright Jr., who was 1.7 meters tall, and Manchester City took a corner kick, the ball was cleared, and the ball was distributed to Wright Jr. again.

Wright Jr. changed direction continuously, so that O'Shea did not dare to follow closely, Wright Jr. took the opportunity to cut inside quickly and volleyed vigorously at the edge of the big penalty area.

Wright Jr.'s shot lacked power but was accurate, and the ball hung straight into the top right corner of the goal.

Van der Sar was in a good position and moved in time, leaping to his feet and grabbing the ball in the palm of his hand.

Wright's attack made Ferguson a little unable to sit still, and he quickly asked Rafael to warm up, ready to come on the field to replace O'Shea, and at the same time let Valencia come back to support O'Shea, so as not to let O'Shea face Wright Jr. alone.

Valencia's retreat was almost late, and then Wright Jr. passed O'Shea from the bottom line, and after breaking into the penalty area, the inverted triangle passed back to the top of the penalty area, and Yaya Toure, who was following up, leaked the ball under Gao Xiaodong's marking, Barry followed the ball with a blast, and the ball unfortunately hit the crossbar and bounced back, and was pushed out of the bottom line by Vidic.

At this time, Ferguson couldn't stand it anymore, so he decisively stopped Rafael's warm-up, let him come on the field to replace O'Shea, and used the more flexible and younger Rafael to defend Wright Jr.
