Chapter 505: Brother Chic's Outburst
Fifty-five minutes into the game, a Manchester United attack.
Nani dribbled the ball and it was De Jong who defended him.
In the face of De Jong, Nani kept stepping on the bicycle at his feet, but De Jong was completely unmoved, and it was not the first time he and Nani had fought each other, and he was also familiar with Nani's technical characteristics.
Nani saw that De Jong was not fooled, and made several consecutive foot movements, and then suddenly wiped the ball with his ankle to the left, so that at the same time, he looked like he was about to start from that side, in order to lure De Jong into being fooled.
De Jong immediately shifted his center of gravity to get into position. However, as soon as he made a move, he knew that he had been fooled, as Nani retracted his castration and continued to move, dribbling the ball from the other side and grazing it over.
De Jong immediately retracted his center of gravity, and quickly put it up again to defend, but Nani suddenly added at this time, and De Jong also added, at this time an accident appeared, he stumbled under his feet, and almost fell to the ground, and when he got up with his left hand, where was Nani's shadow.
After passing de Jong and cheering on the Manchester United crowd at Old Trafford, Nani broke through Zabaleta's defence, and then he took the ball and pretended to cut inside, which immediately forced Richards to come up and defend.
Nani faced Richards, who was bobbing left and right, looking for a shot.
Richards was shaken by Nani's heart and didn't dare to shovel.
Eventually, Nani found his way to shoot and volleyed a low ball that was fast and slammed towards the goal on turf.
Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart had already made a move to fall to the ground, but the ball was extremely fast, and he tried to save it, barely touching it.
The football was bounced to the side.
"Dimitar Berbatov's stoppage!"
Joe Hart tried to get up again to pounce on the ball, but before he could get up, Berbatov had already made a follow-up shot and the ball flew into the empty goal behind him.
“goooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaa1!”
"Dimitar Berbatov!
"Aha, it was Berbatov who scored the goal! 2-4! Manchester United pulled a goal back! They saw hope of winning again! Before the game, Berbatov said he was going to score, and he did!"
"Two to four! Manchester United scored quickly, the game has more than half an hour to go, they still have time, and now, the game is getting better!"
Berbatov was unusually excited after the goal. This goal is too important for Manchester United!
There are quite a lot of Manchester United fans in China, and this one is more tangled than what they see, hoping that Yang Fan can perform well, and they don't want Manchester United to lose, their idea is of course that Yang Fan scored but Manchester United won. In the first half of the game, Manchester United was beaten by Manchester City 4-1, which shocked Manchester United fans and inevitably felt sad in their hearts.
At this time, seeing Berbatov score, these Manchester United fans also subconsciously cheered excitedly.
"The ball is in!"
"Brother Chic has scored. ”
"Well done and dashing!"
Fans swiped the screen excitedly on the Internet.
Dimitabitar usually has limited running after a game, and he doesn't sweat a few drops, and he is known as "kicking the ball is not messy", and often makes chic and elegant technical moves on the field, so he is called "chic brother" by the majority of fans.
Of course, this is actually a bit ironic, Berbatov moves beautifully and looks chic, but he doesn't seem to be in the same rhythm as the team, and the ball is slow to him, so he is called Chic Brother. For example, if he comes on as a substitute for 8o minutes, the frequency of action is as if other players have played 8o minutes, Berbatov is not bad, but he runs less, giving people a very "chic" feeling. But in this game, Berbatov has changed. He began to frequently get the ball near the midfield of the runway, running more and more, and throwing up a long hair when running, coupled with a tall figure, it felt really chic at this time.
On the sidelines, Ferguson's eyes flashed, he saw a different Berbatov in today's game, the Bulgarian is rare to fight hard today, running actively, take this supplementary shot as an example, it is Berbatov's physical running, and appeared in front of the goal in time to complete the supplementary shot.
Is it because people look down on you?' Ferguson thought to himself.
As the successor of Yang Fan by the media, Berbatov has been under a lot of pressure, has been subjected to great criticism, and has been compared with Yang Fan, but Yang Fan's performance is too good, which also makes the media always sarcastic and ridiculed Berbatov. In today's game against Manchester City, Dimitar Berbatov seems to be vowing to play for some critics.
'It was a crucial goal for Manchester United. The narrator said.
The commentator was right, Berbatov's goal boosted the morale of the Manchester United team, and they saw the hope of an equaliser or even a comeback to win the game. United's second-half play has now paid off, and the whole team has been lifted up and the game is starting to feel like it, and that feeling will then turn into even more fighting spirit!
Seeing Dimitar Berbatov's goal help Manchester United close the gap to two goals, Robert on the sidelines. Mancini couldn't sit still.
This conceded goal, Manchester City's back line problems were exposed, after pressing out, was counterattacked by Manchester United, and failed to form an effective blocking line......
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!
It was a thought that stuck in Mancini's mind, and 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.
The two sides of the contradiction of things are revealed at this moment.
If it's Manchester City who score at this time, then, Robert. Roberto Mancini will surely be proud of his insistence on attack.
However, it was Manchester United who scored the goal now, which immediately caused the Manchester City manager to start to suffer.
Manchester City controlled the ball in midfield, Yaya Toure handed the football to Silva, Silva broke through diagonally to the middle, saw the opposing two people in front of him, and divided the football to the wing. Yang Fan was there to answer and received the ball.
Yang Fan did not stop the ball, but took advantage of the situation to move the ball forward! This time he shook off Evra, who came up to block. However, Evra's reaction was quick, and he immediately turned and chased after him. was not distanced by Yang Fan.
Just as Evra was about to force Yang Fan to the sideline, Yang Fan suddenly cut in ahead of him and blocked Evra's running route sideways. Life forced him to subtract.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Fan pulled the football back again, he planned to dribble the ball horizontally, look for a shot space, and shoot from a distance whenever he had the opportunity.
But Yang Fan didn't succeed this time, and his breakthrough was stopped by Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick...... Carrick decisively fouled Yang Fan and put Yang Fan down directly with the ball.
'A free-kick, Man City got a well-placed free-kick. ”
The commentator was also full of praise for Yang Fan's breakthrough, "Evra, as one of the best fullbacks in football, is not the opponent of his former teammate Yang Fan at all, Yang Fan's combination of degree and skillful foot skills is really wonderful, if it weren't for Carrick to help defend tactical fouls, Manchester United would be in trouble." ”
From City's set-piece, Yaya Toure fired straight at goal, Van der Sar made a beautiful save before Dzeko's follow-up shot hit the side-netting.
No sooner had City than the dangerous attack came when United's counter-attack came when Berbatov met Carrick's pass and headed just over the crossbar.
Although Manchester City's attack was effective this time, Manchester United's quick counterattack after Manchester City pressed up made Robert. Mancini was in a state of trepidation. He decided to adjust his tactics, the team has to strengthen the defense, and now he is two goals ahead of Manchester United, and if he is fully defensive, it seems that it is much safer than pressing out to attack.
Sixty-four minutes into the game, Manchester City called for a substitution, with Silva coming on and veteran Patrick Vieira coming on as a substitute.
Replace an attacking midfielder and a defensive midfielder, it's a posture to defend.
In fact, even if Manchester United scored a goal, City's counter-attack was still impressive during this time, and they almost scored another goal to widen the gap again.
It's a pity that Manchester City's head coach Robert. Mancini was intimidated by Manchester United's strong attack, returned to his true character and chose to be conservative.
Seeing Vieira on the field, Lineker was also emotional.
Former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira came off the bench and as Arsenal's most recent title-winning captain, he represented Arsenal's history, scoring the winning penalty in the FA Cup final penalty shoot-out against Manchester United in 2oo42oo5 to help the Gunners win the title. He was sold to Juventus the following summer, and Arsenal have never lifted the trophy since. Patrick Vieira then joined Inter Milan and Roberto Mancini brought him back to England during the 2oo92O1o winter transfer window. However, with the addition of players such as Silva, Yaya Toure, and Milner, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to play, so Vieira's current future at Manchester City is not optimistic. Lineker said with emotion, there seems to be a curse, after the Arsenal captain left Arsenal, he was going downhill...... So it was with Vieira, and so it was with Henry.
Seeing that Manchester City made a substitution, and seeing clearly the tactical intent of this substitution, Ferguson also made a substitution immediately, replacing South Korean Park Ji-sung with veteran Paul Scholes.
Meanwhile, veteran Ryan Giggs came on and he came on for Nani.
