Chapter 742: Tevez Erupted!
The score of 3-3 at half-time was only a draw for Manchester City, but their morale is high now. They fought back after conceding three goals in the opening game and the score was now a draw, and it was a very good result to be able to go into half-time with such a score when they were 3-0 down, so the Manchester City players came off the pitch with smiles on their faces and looked very relaxed.
And what about the Manchester United players, who frowned and were a little depressed. They were obviously still frustrated and depressed, how could they have been equalised by three goals in a row after scoring three goals in the opening game and winning 3-0! At the very least, they argued, the lead was reasonable.
The televised broadcast gave Ferguson a close-up. The old Scottish man's face was quite ugly and angry, and the commentator joked, "Look at Ferguson's expression, you can know what kind of tragic things will happen in the dressing room of Manchester United at halftime." ”
It's cloudy on Manchester United's side, while it's sunny skies on Manchester City's side.
In the visiting dressing room at the new Wembley Stadium, Roberto Mancini praised and encouraged his team's performance and told his players to continue to do so in the second half.
He also praised Yang Fan's performance by name, congratulating Yang Fan on behalf of the club and the team for scoring the 120th goal in the Manchester City shirt, setting a new goal record.
Yang Fan accepted Mancini's congratulations with a smile.
In fact, when he just returned to the locker room, he received congratulations from his teammates, Yang Fan opened his mobile phone, and all he saw were congratulatory text messages, friends, family, and former teammates, and everyone sent messages to congratulate him as soon as possible.
One of the most interesting is the message sent by the chairman of Manchester City Club, Sheikh Mansour, which is actually a sequence of letters, the local tyrant boss said that this is a congratulatory gift to the captain of Manchester City, Yang Fan guessed what this means?
Yang Fan was forced to leave the field twice in the first half of the game because of injury, and after the treatment of the team doctor, when he returned to the game, he felt nothing, but now that he has a halftime break, he feels some muscle aches and other symptoms. The team's physiotherapist also hurried to massage Yang Fan.
Roberto Mancini was playing the second half of the game.
On the other side, Ferguson roared unsurprisingly, scolding the whole United team.
The players did not dare to come out one by one in the angry roar of the old man. It wasn't until Ferguson roared and began to lay out the tactics for the second half that many people breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as the second half began, Manchester United suffered a blow to the head.
In the fifty-first minute, David Silva passed the ball to Tevez.
After Tevez received the football, he pulled the ball and turned around, and saw Park Ji-sung coming up to defend him.
After Tevez made the gesture of passing the football to Gareth Barry, who was next to him, he suddenly took the ball first---- and he forced a breakthrough!
Park Ji-sung leaned his body up to force Tevez to slow down. He also began to wave for Carrick to come up and help, knowing that it would be difficult for him to defend Tevez 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" Tevez forward.
Park Ji-sung interfered on one side, while Carrick waited for an opportunity on the other. In this way, Tevez took the ball and, escorted by the two, went all the way forward.
Yang Fan and David Silva ran up front, and they ran to the two wings and pulled out the middle. Seeing the two running to the wing, the United defence was immediately alert, with Fletcher immediately pounced on Yang Fan and Nemanja Vidic on David Silva. Only Rio Ferdinand didn't move, he remained in the box and he had to sit there and be the last support.
Tevez still had no intention of passing, he continued to dribble forward, and kept tangling with Park Ji-sung and Carrick as he ran to prevent the ball at his feet from being cut off by them.
The Argentine star showed off his skilful footwork and impact, and his dribbling was so solid that Park Ji-sung and Carrick didn't have a chance to break the ball unless it was a foul!
When Tevez just dribbled the ball, the two were not able to commit a decisive foul!
Now, as Tevez gradually approached the penalty area with the ball, when Park Ji-sung wanted to foul, he threw a mouse bogey again, and he hesitated, he 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-pieces in the Manchester City team, among them, Yang Fan's free kick can now be said to be a master.
In the end, foul tactics were adopted!
Because, if you don't foul, you can't stop it.
When Park Ji-sung 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 made a ruthless decision, and he had to foul!
Just when Park Ji-sung was about to foul Tevez, Yang Fan suddenly stepped forward, and Ferdinand thought that Yang Fan was going to answer Tevez's pass, and immediately pounced on Yang Fan. Rio Ferdinand immediately made the Manchester United penalty area completely empty!
This is the time!
Park Ji-sung didn't hesitate any longer and shoveled directly to Tevez from the diagonal side. At the same time, Carrick also crashed into Tevez from the side, intending to knock Tevez to the ground, and at this moment, they obviously thought of going together: hurry up and foul, or it will be too late!
Tevez seemed to have expected the two to foul at this point, and he suddenly poked the ball forward with his toes, and at the same time, jumped up himself, dodging Park Ji-sung's tackle as Carrick's tackle came.
At this point, Tevez had just dribbled into the box.
Tevez was very fast, Carrick came with his feet on the turf, he couldn't tackle the football at this time, Carrick was shocked, he wanted to close his feet too late, and put down Tevez who was about to continue to push forward.
Referee Webb's whistle sounded poignantly.
"Oh! no!" the United fan hugged his head.
"Hooray!" the Manchester City fans jumped up and cheered.
Then, Webb was seen pointing to the penalty spot and then walking over and pulling cards into his pocket.
On the sidelines, Ferguson burst into flames.
To the old man's comfort, Webb pulled out a yellow card.
The referee showed Carrick a yellow card.
Manchester City were awarded a penalty.
"Penalty! Man City get a penalty! Carrick brings down Tevez in the box!"
"There should be no controversy about the penalty!" Tevez was fast at his feet and Carrick's tackle turned into a behind-the-back tackle!
"It was a really dramatic game! Manchester City were 3-0 down at the start of the game, but they scored three goals in a row in the first half and now they have a penalty opportunity and they have a good chance to put the score on the line!"
Carlos Tevez came to take the penalty.
He runs.
Shot!
At the same time, Van der Sar fell to the ground and pounced!
Tevez hit the top left corner of the goal.
The ball flew past Van der Sar's left-hand side and into the net......
“!”
"Tevez - Tevez ———— Tevez - Tevez ——! al!" the commentator shouted, "Manchester City are ahead! Tevez scored a penalty of his own creation! This goal is a portrayal of the Argentine's excellent performance! Before Tevez started to dribble the ball from the midfield, dribbling the ball all the way, Park Ji-sung and Carrick chased and intercepted all the way, but they couldn't stop him, and finally Tevez successfully got rid of it and entered the penalty area! Carrick brought down Tevez, Manchester City got a penalty opportunity, Tevez faced Van der Sar and scored the penalty! ”
Tevez! Second! It was Tevez's second goal of the day! He scored twice! Tevez's two goals put Manchester United in crisis and City took the lead!"
"Four to three! The City men scored four goals after trailing by three goals in the early stages!
"Manchester United are in crisis! They have to change! Otherwise, they will only be able to watch Manchester City lift the trophy!"
When Ferguson saw Tevez score the penalty, he was angry enough, the old man blushed with anger and his neck was thick, and the old Scottish man roared on the sidelines, "Stupid! bastard!****! Why didn't you foul earlier?! Who defended you like this?!
He was certainly not angry that Van der Sar didn't save the penalty, and there was no way to blame the goalkeeper for the penalty. Ferguson was angry that Carrick or Park Ji-sung didn't foul earlier when Tevez broke through with the ball before, and if one of the two fouled earlier, there would be no penalty kick later!
Four to three!
Manchester City overtook the scoreline.
Ferguson was furnishing on the sidelines. He was very dissatisfied with Park Ji-sung and Carrick, and the old Scottish man thought that these two were too cautious when defending Tevez, and they should have fouled a long time ago, but they didn't foul for a long time!
If Tevez had been fouled shortly after taking the ball, the goal might not have been conceded.
At this time, Lord Fu seemed to have forgotten that it was he who told him to use foul tactics carefully and not to give free kicks to Manchester City's dangerous positions, so that the players on the field would be even more restrictive.
However, at this time, it is no longer time to hold accountable, and in fact, it is impossible to say who is responsible. Again, if you want to blame Tevez for being too strong.
The game restarted and Carlos Tevez's goal hit United a bit hard. After the restart. Manchester United's players looked a little flustered on the field,
Manchester United are indeed in a state of confusion, and they don't know why they are not playing badly, when in fact, their opponents are able to score again and again!
Conceding four goals in a row has left the United players in a state of self-doubt and denial...... It's a very delicate psychological problem......
