Chapter 637: The Most Direct Response!
“goooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaa1!”
"Manchester United, they scored!"
"Aha, it's an own goal! It's an own goal! Unlucky Milner, Nani's shot is saved by the goalkeeper, but it's touched into his own goal by Milner!"
"It's three to four! Manchester United scored in quick succession at the start of the second half, with more than half an hour to go, they still have time, and now, the game is getting to be watched!"
'It's a goal that's so important for Manchester United! Tomato '''.'f'q-"
The commentator was right, this goal gave Manchester United a morale boost, and they saw the hope of an equaliser or even a comeback to win the game.
In particular, this goal is Manchester City's own goal, which makes the Manchester United players even more happy, and there will even be a very strange feeling: the opponents are so unlucky, they have scored own goals, does this mean that God is on the side of Manchester United?!
Seeing that Milner actually scored an own goal and directly 'helped' Manchester United to narrow the score gap to one goal, Mancini on the sidelines couldn't sit still.
At this time, the Manchester City manager began to hesitate, and he began to doubt his tactics...... If, after the start of the second half, Manchester City put up a bucket formation, then Manchester United would not have been able to score so easily!
No ifs!
Mancini, however, had to think about a lot of things. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was still attacking in the second half, and that this tactic was a bit risky.
In fact, when the head coach is most nervous when he is leading by one goal, especially when the opponent is chasing two goals in a row to narrow the score gap to one goal, it is really frustrating.
Mancini began to think about whether to strengthen the defense and defend the advantage of this one goal?!
Three minutes later, a Manchester City attack, Yang Fan's shot was blocked by Ferdinand, Manchester City's dangerous attack was just over, there was a Manchester United counterattack, Berbatov received a pass from Carrick, and the header went just over the crossbar. △◇ △ Tomato □ ---.'
Although Manchester City's attack was effective this time, Manchester United took advantage of the Manchester City team's quick counterattack after pressing up, which also made Mancini break out in a cold sweat.
Mancini looked at his watch in the dugout, there were still more than twenty minutes to go before the end of the game, and if he was to defend completely, the opponent would be Manchester United, which was probably even less reliable than venturing an attack.
This time, Mancini was finally not so conservative.
So he got up from his seat, slowly walked to the sidelines, whistled, and gestured at the same time.
Yang Fan looked at the sidelines, saw Mancini's gestures, understood the manager's intentions, and he passed on the manager's tactical arrangements to other players.
Mancini did not ask the whole team to defend, of course, in order to withstand the attack of Manchester United, Mancini still responded, he asked the whole team to work harder, everyone needs to defend. This everyone also includes Yang Fan, which shows that it is time for the whole team to work hard.
At the same time, Mancini's gesture also conveyed a meaning, that is, to make Yang Fan work harder, not only to help the team defend, but also to be more active on the offensive end, striving to seize the opportunity to score goals to expand the score.
The core of Mancini's tactic is that the whole team is a defender, and at the same time, the offensive side must play the efficiency of counterattacks, especially Yang Fan, who will shoulder the heavy responsibility of Manchester City's counterattack.
However, the worst of the odds came for Manchester City, who were quick to score shortly after they made their adjustments.
Manchester United continued to fall in midfield, with the likes of Nani and Wayne Rooney attracting the attention of City's defence.
Carrick received Nani's knockback, and instead of passing the ball to the men on his left again, he suddenly sent a wide deflection of the ball. □ tomato ''-.'f'q-x'
The ball flew high over City's midfield, towards City's right flank, where no one seemed to ......
"Giggs!" cried John Mortenson.
Carrick's pass was a great shot, not only shifting the ball to the weak link of Manchester City's defense, but also the right amount of proportion, the ball was just in front of Ryan Giggs where he could catch up, and the Welsh veteran didn't even have a person within ten meters of the front and back!
When Manchester United scored just now, Nani, Carrick, and Rooney were all on the left side, and Manchester United's offense seemed to have a serious **** meaning, so the Manchester City team also focused on defending here, but Carrick saw the weak link on the other side of the Manchester City team's defense.
Michael Carrick and Ryan Giggs, two veteran United players, combined to make a stunning attack. The timing of the transmission, the tacit understanding between the two is amazing!
Ryan Giggs looked up at the ball over his head, and with a hook of his foot, stopped the ball directly in front of him, rolling slowly.
"Beautiful!" Lineker was full of praise for the Welsh veteran's stoppage.
"There are only two people in the City penalty area, Kompany and Ledley King, and everyone else is attracted by Nani's dribbling!
Kompany immediately rushed towards Giggs, who had to press out and put pressure on him, otherwise the old Welshman could cut inside and pass the ball.
Seeing Kompany coming up, Giggs immediately made a move to pass the ball.
Although it was guessed that Giggs might be a feint, Kompany also had to steal, and among defenders and attackers, the defending side is always passive!
The attacker can perform ten moves, as long as one of them can break through, and the defender, as long as he is shaken over once, then it is dangerous!
Seeing Kompany's movements, Giggs easily pulled the ball back, and then suddenly added it and swept past Kompany's side!
Kompany was shocked!
He hesitated for a second, but chose to rush towards Giggs.
Kompany had just run to this direction when Giggs immediately shook his ankle and passed the ball!
Football flies over Kompany's head!
Kompany's cold sweat is out!
He knew he had been fooled!
And, most crucially, he knows who is behind him, and behind him, there is no other Manchester City defender, the closest to that is Manchester United's midfielder Michael Carrick!
"Boom!" cheered from the stands at Old Trafford.
"This is Carrick's chance!!" With the roar of the commentator, Carrick **** stopped the ball and volleyed directly!
Manchester City's goalkeeper Joe Hart has been shifting his center of gravity just now, and he is not sure who will deliver the final blow and from which position Manchester United's attack will come!
When he realized that it was Carrick who had come to finish the shot, he quickly moved his feet and made a gesture to save the ball, but this time the shot was too close, and the ball was extremely fast, and before Joe Hart could touch the ball, the ball had already passed under him and scurried into the goal.
“goooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa1!”
Carrick ...... yes!it’sgooooooooooooooooooooooooooa1!”
As the net trembled, the entire Old Trafford pitch boiled!
"goooooooaa1!" the commentators jumped to their feet, shouting at the top of their voices, "The ball is in! It's in! It's in! It's four-to-four! Manchester United have scored three goals in a row since the start of the second half! Now, they've equalized the score from 1-4 to 4! It took them half an hour to tie the score! They scored three times in a row! It's crazy and looking at the situation now, Manchester United can keep scoring goals and they're going to make a comeback!"
"It's been said a long time ago that Manchester City can't lose to Manchester United! In the first half, Manchester United only took a little nap, Manchester City should understand the gap between them and Manchester United by now!"
"Carrick's goal, he was the hero of Manchester United's equaliser! However, this goal, this attack, thanks to three people!Nani and Carrick and Giggs! Nani's dribbling attracted three Manchester City players, he distributed the ball to Carrick in time, this time the wide transfer of the ball was quite wonderful, he sent the football to an unguarded position, Giggs then beautifully attracted the attention of Kompany and Kompany, and then crossed again to assist Carrick to score the goal!"
'City have been hit in the first place! they have now equalised and the game is back on track!'
'Manchester United are completely different from the first half, they showed quality that suited their identity!
The Manchester United celebrated the goal like crazy. ☆Tomato ''-.-f-q-x's-'.-c'o-m'
The camera gave a close-up of the Manchester City players, hoping to see the panicked expressions on their faces, but to their surprise, there was anger and unwillingness in the expressions of the Manchester City people, but there was not much panic. Their captain, Yang Fan, summoned everyone over and used the time for the United people to celebrate and have a short small meeting.
This is a simple communication to stabilize the morale of the military.
The biggest drama of this game is that you never guess what's going to happen in the next second.
Less than three minutes after Manchester United equalised, Manchester City gave Manchester United another blow.
This time, Yaya Toure picked up the ball in midfield.
As a metronome for Manchester City. He controls the rhythm of the team's attack. When to go fast and when to go slow, he has the final say. If he gets the rhythm wrong. Not only will it not bring goals to the team. Instead, it puts the team in a very dangerous situation. How about a team's swing. It's up to the metronome.
Yaya Toure after getting the ball. I wanted to make a long pass directly to find Yang Fan in front. He had seen the vacancy before he received the ball. But when the football came over. The situation on the field has changed again. The empty space was filled in by Manchester United's defenders.
Yang Fan's short-sightedness just now was also re-noticed by Evra. If the pass is as originally planned. Even if Yang Fan has the potential to get football, however, he will also face the close marking of Manchester United, which is obviously not a good passing route.
Yang Fan shook his head, the fleeting space just now, Yaya Toure was not able to transmit the football in time, he had to run without the ball again, trying to pull out the space.
Yaya Toure looked for other passing routes.
He dribbled the shot and continued to dribble the ball while motioning for his teammates to come over and pick him up.
James Milner saw it in front of him and ran back to meet Yaya Toure, who was followed by Manchester United midfielder Ashley Young.
Yaya Toure saw Ashley Young, who was following Milner's buttocks, and instead of actually passing the ball, he suddenly dribbled forward!
He and Milner staggered by.
Ashley Young was taken aback, and he hurriedly threw Milner down and pounced on Yaya Toure instead. And Yaya Toure was waiting for him, after watching Ashley Young leave Milner. He used the outside instep to flick the ball to Milner diagonally behind, and he himself took Ashley Young away.
Milner receives the ball and turns forward. When Lannani pressed on him, he didn't stick to the ball and instead passed the ball to Kolarov on Nani's wing.
This is what Mancini specifically requested, and he wants his team to get through the midfield as little as possible and move the opposition defence through quick passes. This has two advantages, one is to reduce mistakes and avoid being cut off, blindly dribbling the ball is the easiest to be cut off, and the other reason is that it is not so easy to break through the defense of an experienced team like Manchester United by relying on individual skills alone, and it is not a good attempt to drive the opponent's defense with such a fast pass.
Mancini's tactical adjustment just now also includes this.
Kolarov had just received the ball when Fletcher burst in front of him.
Kolarov stopped the ball on the spot and changed direction, which forced Fletcher to reduce, otherwise Fletcher would have been fouled. And at this time, Kolarov started again, a plus, and swept past Fletcher with the ball.
After the pass, Kolarov passed the ball out.
It was David Silva who received the ball, and instead of stopping the ball, he took advantage of the situation to pass the ball again.
"Beautiful wall-to-wall fit!" exclaimed Mortenson.
However, his words of praise came a little earlier.
Patrice Evra, United's main defender, apparently expected City to play such a combination, and he was in early positions. Shoveled the ball out before Kolarov, who caught the ball!
"Aha! Great defense!" cheered the Manchester United Radio commentators.
But he also called early......
The ball that was shoveled out by Patrice Evra did not fall at the feet of other Manchester United players such as Ashley Young, but appeared in front of the penalty area, where, within a few metres of the football, there were no Manchester United players or Manchester City players for the time being.
No, someone rushed up!
"Yang Fan!"
In the exclamation of the commentator, Yang Fan rushed up like a leopard, he faced the football and directly volleyed.
The football barely has any spin in the air.
Almost straight into the net.
Yang Fan and his teammates made the most direct response with goals at the most difficult moment!
