Chapter 500: Yang Fan who was stimulated and screamed
Ferguson excitedly rushed out of the dugout, throwing his fist in celebration of the goal, the Scottish old man is adorable and twenty years later, he is still as passionate as he was when he first started managing Manchester United.
Seeing Rooney's goal, Ferguson felt a little relieved, only one goal behind Manchester City, and Manchester United still had to play in this game.
However, when the Manchester United players celebrated, Ferguson called the team's core of the backline and the team's on-field captain Rio Ferdinand, and reminded the team to strengthen their defense against Yang Fan, especially the trident of Yang Fan, Silva and Dzeko.
Ferdinand naturally nodded to indicate that he knew, the team finally scored and narrowed the score gap, and now the morale of the whole team has been boosted, the team has improved in attack, and they naturally can't drag the whole team back at the defensive end, and he naturally won't allow Manchester City to score again.
"Pay attention to Yang Fan, this goal may stimulate him. Ferguson said.
Ferdinand received instructions from Ferguson to pay attention to Yang Fan's defense, and Ferdinand nodded yes, but he didn't quite know why the old man suddenly confessed this.
However, after the restart. Ferdinand knew why Alex Ferguson was making such a request.
Because, Yang Fan began to be more active.
Obviously, Lord Fu is worthy of an old fox, and he has already guessed this. Yang Fan is the kind of player who is action-oriented, and Manchester United scored a goal here to narrow the score gap, which is actually equivalent to adding impetus to Yang Fan, and Yang Fan will definitely be more active.
The cunning old knight has long seen this, so after Rooney's goal, he immediately reminded his own backline to pay more attention to Yang Fan.
Yang Fan was dribbling the ball high, he made a sharp stop and turn in a high dribble, and he was about to change direction and pass Park Ji-sung, and the Koreans saw that they couldn't stop Yang Fan, so they could only reach out and pull Yang Fan down.
"Park Ji-sung can't stop Yang Fan at all, he can only foul. ”
Objectively speaking, Park Ji-sung's tactical foul was relatively timely, otherwise, Yang Fan would have taken the ball into the penalty area. ”
"Just now Nani caused Kompany and Kompany's yellow cards, and now, Yang Fan forced Park Ji-sung to eat cards again, Ferguson must be unhappy, after Park Ji-sung eats the card, he will definitely become cautious when defending Yang Fan. ”
Perhaps in response to the commentator's words, the camera also focused on the Manchester United coach's box, and Ferguson, chewing gum in his mouth, shouted a loud protest to the fourth official, in his opinion, a free kick was enough, and the yellow card was obviously too heavy.
The fourth official glanced at Ferguson, he knew the old guy's usual tricks, in order to put pressure on the referee, white can be said to be black, Park Ji-sung's tactical foul just now couldn't be more obvious, if Park Ji-sung didn't foul, Yang Fan would have driven straight in, a yellow card would definitely not be able to run, there is nothing to complain about.
"Jazz, please go back to the dugout. The fourth official darkened his face, "Otherwise, I'll notify the referee to deal with it." ”
Ferguson could only snort coldly and left, he was just pretending, how could he resist the referee very hard.
"Yang Fan! His ball control is very good, and his dodging and change of direction in the high dribble is simply beautiful...... It's amazing for a player to be able to change direction so beautifully in a high dribble. Lineker is still admiring Yang Fan's dribbling just now.
"I have a feeling that Rooney's goal just now stimulated Yang Fan. Mortenson said.
"Hah, it's really possible. Lineker also smiled, "Rooney and Yang Fan are good friends, but this does not prevent them from competing with each other. ”
The referee awarded a free-kick to Manchester City, and the foul was about 256 metres from goal, which was a good position to hit the goal.
Yaya Toure wanted to take the free kick, but Yang Fan came up and Yaya Toure said a few words, and then, people saw Yang Fan standing in front of the ball, and it seemed that he was ready to take the free kick himself.
This worries Manchester United fans, you know, although he doesn't often take free kicks, Yang Fan's free kick footwork is also famous. When he played for Manchester United, Yang Fan had the experience of scoring direct free kicks.
It seems that Yang Fan intends to take this free-kick himself, and his free-kick footwork is also extremely threatening, and now, Van der Sar has to be vigilant. Lineker said.
The whistle sounded.
Yang Fan runs, a wonderful arc.
The ball flies towards the top left corner of the goal.
The set-piece was of high quality, but Van der Sar was highly focused and his save was brilliant as the veteran Dutch goalkeeper kept the ball off the line.
Corner kick.
Both Manchester United fans and Manchester City fans cheered, of course, they cheered for different objects, Manchester United fans cheered for goalkeeper Van der Sar, and Manchester City fans cheered for Yang Fan's free kick footwork.
Although the goal was not scored, Yang Fan still showed us his set-piece footwork. It also reminded Manchester United's players to be more careful when defending Yang Fan, and they had to avoid fouls in sensitive areas so as not to give Manchester City too many set-piece opportunities. Mortenson said.
Silva takes a corner.
Kompany's header, which was tall and hit the ball, was too square, and was blocked by Van der Sar, who was then cleared out of the box by Patrice Evra.
Manchester City's offensive campaign has come to an end.
After this attack, Ferdinand and others also raised the defense of Yang Fan and others to an unprecedented height.
However, Manchester United were soon dealt a heavy blow.
Milner passes the ball to Yang Fan.
After Yang Fan received the football, he pulled the ball and turned around, and saw Park Ji-sung coming up to defend him.
After Yang Fan made the posture of passing the football to Silva who was next to him, he suddenly took the football first and he forcibly broke through!
Park Ji-sung put his body on it and wanted to force Yang Fan to reduce. In addition, he began to wave for Carrick to come up and help, he knew that it would be difficult for him to prevent Yang Fan alone.
Carrick came up.
Now, Carrick is on the left, Park Ji-sung is on the right, and the two of them are like bodyguards, "escorting" Yang Fan to run forward.
Park Ji-sung interfered on one side, while Carrick waited for an opportunity on the other. In this way, Yang Fan tenaciously continued to carry the ball, escorted by the two, all the way forward.
Yang Fan and Silva ran up front to pick up, and they ran to the two wings and pulled out the middle. Seeing the two running to the side, Manchester United's backline was a little depressed, but because of the strong power of the two, they didn't dare to take it lightly, Nani immediately pounced on Yang Fan, and Evra also pounced on Silva. Only Rio Ferdinand remained in the box, ready to fill Patrice Evra's place.
Yang Fan still didn't mean to pass the ball, he continued to dribble forward, and kept entanglement with Park Ji-sung and Carrick in the process of running to prevent the football under his feet from being cut off by them, and at the same time, Nani was also eyeing from the sidelines.
The former World Footballer once again showed everyone his skillful footwork and impact, his dribbling was very solid, Park Ji-sung and Carrick had no chance to break the ball at all, unless it was a foul!
But the problem is that when Yang Fan just dribbled the ball, the two were not able to commit a decisive foul!
Now, as Yang Fan gradually approached the penalty area with the ball, when the two wanted to foul, they threw a mouse bogey, a little hesitated, Park Ji-sung didn't dare to foul, he had a yellow card, if he fouled, he would get a yellow card if he didn't get it right, that is, two yellows turned into one red, and he was going to be punished.
Park Ji-sung didn't dare to foul, and so did Carrick. The free kick in this position is too sensitive, you know, there are many good set-piece players in the Manchester City team, Yang Fan's own set-piece footwork is good, and Yang Fan's direct free kick shot just now can be seen.
Then there's Silva, and don't forget, there's Yaya Toure, an Ivorian with good set-piece footwork. Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has long warned not to give Manchester City set-pieces in dangerous areas.
However, when Carrick noticed that he had reached the line of the big penalty area and was about to enter the penalty area, he was shocked, but he also immediately became ruthless, and he had to foul!
Just as Carrick was about to foul Tevez, Dzeko suddenly stepped forward, and Ferdinand thought that Dzeko was going to receive Yang Fan's pass, and immediately pounced on Dzeko. Rio Ferdinand's move immediately caused an opening in the Manchester United penalty area.
This is the time!
Carrick also saw this hidden danger, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and directly shoveled at Yang Fan from the diagonal side. At the same time, Nani also crashed into Yang Fan from the side, intending to knock Yang Fan to the ground, at this moment, they obviously thought of going together: hurry up and foul, otherwise it will be too late!
As for Park Ji-sung, he didn't dare to foul and could only continue to watch from the sidelines.
Yang Fan seemed to have expected the two to foul at this point, and he suddenly stabbed the ball forward with his toes, and at the same time, he jumped up, dodging Carrick's tackle and avoiding Nani's bump.
Carrick, who was sticking to the turf tackle, was shocked when he realized that he had made a hollow, and it was too late for him to retract his feet, and he brought down Park Ji-sung, who had no time to dodge next to him.
Manchester United's defence collapsed!
"It's over!"
"Broke through Carrick and Park Ji-sung, as well as Nani, none of the three were able to stop Yang Fan!"
"The danger of having a yellow card on Park Ji-sung was revealed at this time, because of the yellow card on his body, Park Ji-sung was afraid of the tail and did not dare to foul early, so that Yang Fan took the ball and killed it. ”
When the referee saw Carrick getting off the shovel, he had already put the whistle in his mouth and was about to blow the foul of the Manchester United team, but when he saw Yang Fan's beautiful breakthrough, the foul had no substantive life, so he let the game continue.
Seeing Yang Fan get rid of Park Ji-sung and Carrick's bag, the Manchester United fans in the stands burst into huge boos.
Just when Yang Fan came out of the encirclement, kicked the football out and then went to chase the ball, Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar made a clever attack. The veteran Dutch goalkeeper had been wary and realised that this was perhaps the best and only chance to break the ball.
But Yang Fan's explosive power and degree advantage were undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
Of course, the most commendable thing is Yang Fan's astute reaction.
Seeing Van der Sar attacking, Yang Fan didn't have time to catch up with the football to complete the standard shot, and immediately fell to the ground, sliding on the turf and shoveling towards the football!
Shovel shot!
At the same time, Van der Sar fell to the ground and pounced!
The football was shoveled by Yang Fan and flew up!
The ball passed Van der Sar's left-hand side and continued forward, bouncing into the net.
