Chapter 640: Two Old Commanders
The stands at the Millennium Stadium roared with cheers and the United fans jumped to cheer for the goal. The fastest goal in the update was Argentine striker Carlos Tevez, who partnered Yang Fan today.
"Tevez, Tevez, he scored the equaliser for Manchester United, 2-2! Manchester United equalised again!" the commentator shouted excitedly.
But no matter how excited they are, they can't get a tenth of the excitement of Manchester United fans.
It was as if there was an earthquake in the stands where the sea of red was located at the Millennium Stadium, with fans jumping their feet, stomping on the floor, shouting, and even the stands shaking. All the United fans jumped from their seats, waving their arms and stomping their feet hard.
What about Yang Fan?
He stood still, opened his arms and laughed to meet Tevez as the Argentine rushed up and the strikers hugged each other, both shouting and celebrating the goal.
"Aha, Yang Fan's assist! His breakthrough just now is really beautiful!Tevez's shot is very confident and calm!!"
Ferguson high-fived Mike Ferran next to him, and the old Scottish man was red-faced, and to be honest, he didn't expect Manchester United to equalise again so soon, and his disciple surprised him.
Manchester United were celebrating the goal, Tottenham Hotspur was a different story, with the elder Redknapp biting his lip and a grim expression.
His worst fears came up.
After Bale's goal put the score over again, Redknapp had been praying that the team would be able to maintain that 2-1 lead until the end of the first half, so that the balance of victory would tip in Tottenham's side. His biggest fear was that United equalised again before the end of the first half, which would be a big blow to Tottenham. The opponent was one less than them, and they were able to equalize in a row, which put a lot of psychological pressure on Tottenham's players. Especially Yang Fan, Redknapp is now deeply jealous of Yang Fan.
I'm really afraid of something, Manchester United still scored to equalize the score, although Yang Fan was not the one who scored, but, Tevez's goal, most of the credit should be placed on Yang Fan, the Chinese shooter's series of breakthroughs just now, and the subsequent beautiful assists, are the finishing touches in the process of this goal.
Redknapp looked at the clock, there were five minutes left before the end of the first half, and he sighed with a slight relief on his face.
Compared with Manchester United, his team is still too immature...... Not mature enough.
Or that there is no championship temperament, or this championship temperament, or heritage, is very important, and Redknapp believes that if United were ahead and had one more person than their opponents, they would basically not have given their opponents a chance to equalise before the end of the first half.
"Manchester United have one man less, but they have equalised twice in a row, and that's the difference, and it's not just about the quality of the game, but because Tottenham and Manchester United are not solid enough. It's been a problem with this team all along. Lineker said.
Mortensen was full of praise for Yang Fan, "It's not that Tottenham is bad, it's really that Manchester United's two strikers are too good, Yang Fan showed us his skillful footwork, just now I almost thought that the person who was breaking through was Cristiano Ronaldo." ”
Robbie Keane was already standing in the centre circle, with a football under his feet, waiting for the kick-off. He watched as his opponents were celebrating, especially as Yang Fan triumphantly made a morale-boosting gesture towards the stands, while the United fans cheered in response.
He was upset. So he spat viciously on the ground.
In fact, he doesn't have much hatred with Manchester United, but Yang Fan is not happy. In fact, Keane didn't know why he was like this, and it stands to reason that he, as a veteran, had long passed the impulsive situation.
Of course, this may be due to the media hype, Yang Fan's transfer to Manchester United is considered to be the most outstanding classic recruitment, and Robbie Keane was 'returned' from Liverpool to Tottenham, which became the biggest parallel import in last summer's recruitment.
"Yang Fan is undoubtedly the best on Manchester United's side, Bale is the best on Tottenham's side, and compared to Tevez's table, Robbie Keane is too quiet today. Aside from that penalty, he was harmless today. The narrator said.
That's hurtful.
※※※※※※※
At the end of the first half, the score was still 2-2 for the time being!
It was a 2-2 draw! But judging by the reactions of the players from both sides and the cheering of the United fans in the stands, it seems that United have taken the lead......
It's no wonder that after being sent off at the beginning of the game and awarded a penalty, the team equalised twice after falling behind twice, and this draw was enough to make Manchester United fans happy, they were very satisfied with the team's performance, and proudly believed that this was the essence of the giants, and the team won today.
Yang Fan had a relaxed and happy smile on his face when he left the game. Tottenham Hotspur scored two goals, especially Bale's table, which surprised Yang Fan, however, he himself is not bad, he has a goal and an assist, both goals and assists are beautiful, and he has enough reasons to be happy and satisfied with his table.
"The first half is over. After the equaliser, Manchester United pressed Tottenham Hotspur for a while, but they were not able to score again, and the score was still 2-2, which is a pity. However, for Chinese fans, the first half of the game is undoubtedly a kind of enjoyment, Tottenham's Bale's excellent performance makes us seem to see a new superstar rise, and Yang Fan stood up again when Manchester United played more with less, one shot and one pass, worthy of Manchester United's attacking core, Yang Fan's table is quite good, let us watch pleasing to the eye and feel satisfied...... In the second half, let's continue to look forward to his wonderful performance!" the Chinese commentator shouted excitedly.
"During the period when Cristiano Ronaldo was injured, Manchester United's attack did not encounter any trouble, and Yang Fan shouldered Manchester United's offensive responsibility very well...... In fact, even when Ronaldo was in the team, Yang Fan's appearance was enough to be compared to the Portuguese. ”
The BBC5 commentator said, however, in fact, his statement is still more polite, in a series of games of Manchester United this season, people have gradually felt a little bit of Yang Fan's role and importance in the Manchester United team, if you do not consider the fame factor, Yang Fan is more important and outstanding than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ferguson went back to the dressing room with his players just after the whistle blew at the end of the first half, and saw a frustrated, depressed Evans in the dressing room, the youngster knew that it was because he was sent off with a red card, and awarded a penalty to the opponent, which put the team into the dilemma of playing more and falling behind early. What made him feel even more painful was that in such a final, Ferguson gave him a chance to reuse him, but he was so bad that he was worried that it would affect his rating in Ferguson's heart.
Evans, who was developed in the United Academy, only began to be reused this season due to injuries to Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, who made his league debut as a substitute against Chelsea in the fourth round of the league. Three days later, he featured well against Villarreal in the Champions League group stage, making him the third centre-back behind Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic.
It's just that the young man has a lot of ups and downs, and he hasn't been in good shape recently.
Evans was both frustrated and terrified.
He had expected Ferguson to yell at him and scold him.
Not really. No ranting, no scolding.
Ferguson just patted him on the shoulder: "Don't take it personally, Jonathan. It was just an accident. ”
Evans looked up at Ferguson in surprise, who tapped him on the shoulder, "You're not the kind of kid who gets frustrated at the slightest setback. Isn't that right?"
Evans nodded vigorously, his fists clenched secretly, and his heart was extremely moved.

The elder Redknapp met a somewhat frustrated Woodgate in the dressing room, and he knew very well that as the captain of the team, as the backbone of the team's defence, the first half of the table was not up to par. He was not able to look at Yang Fan. Yang Fan's first goal was a shot after breaking through him, and Tevez's goal came from Yang Fan's assist, and Yang Fan passed him almost in a playful and humiliating way this time.
Redknapp Sr. patted Woodgate on the shoulder, "You're the captain of the team, and they're all watching you in the second half." ”
Woodgate looked up, looked at his teammates, and sure enough, everyone looked over.
"I know how to do it. He said.
"I'm always confident that the win will be for us in the end. Redknapp said.
The elder Redknapp's encouragement of Woodgate, and the change in the captain's mental outlook, immediately swept away the tension that had permeated Tottenham's dressing room.
After comforting Woodgate, the elder Redknapp slapped his face, and then he raised his voice and said, "All right, gentlemen. I'm sorry we didn't manage to hold on to the lead in the first half, but I'm happy that we were twice ahead of Manchester United and you did a great job, in the whole of the Premier League, no team has done that, but you did! ”
Hearing the old Redknapp say this, Tottenham's players all had their eyes lit up and shined.
