Chapter 0902 - Invincible Capital
Everyone watched in amazement as this scene took place on the pitch.
Foster abandoned the door to attack, but the cunning Poselli insisted on preempting Foster and lightly picked it up. Although he lost his balance because of this, he fell crooked in the big forbidden area. But the ball slammed into United's goal line.
Beep!
The referee's merciless whistle sounded instantly!
The goal works!
1 to 0!
The scoreboard at Zayed Sports City seemed to be helping the Estudiantes, and the moment the whistle blew, the score had gone from 0-0 to 1-0.
It was only then that a deafening cheer rang out at the Zayed Sports City stadium.
The fans of the Hedger Army shouted frantically, shouting: Manchester United fans, weren't you very good just now? Didn't you shout loudly? You shout again, you have the ability, you shout louder!
Manchester United's fans fell silent in an instant.
No one could have imagined that Manchester United would be scored by Estudiantes in less than three minutes. This has made all Manchester United fans who have come to the UAE inevitably suffer from gains and losses.
The live TV camera swept coldly over the United fans in the stands, taking in their panicked and helpless expressions in front of all the fans in front of the televisions.
………………
The big beauty anchor Finney Cotton was also a little speechless for a while.
It wasn't until the staff reminded her that she realized she was commentating on the game.
"Manchester United have conceded a goal!"
"The estudiantes were ...... in the third minute"
She obviously took a look at the information and continued: "Striker Poselli opened the scoring after receiving Perez's cross, which was a terrible blow for Manchester United! ”
"Now the score is 1-0, Estudiantes are leading for the time being, but there is still hope for Manchester United!"
"I believe that Manchester United will not be defeated, the Red Devils are not so easy to give up, not so easy to admit defeat!"
……
Finney Cotton's words may be able to infect fans in front of the TV. But an even more touching scene appeared!
More than 20,000 United fans who came to the UAE rose from their seats. They clapped and shouted loudly, either singing the team anthem or shouting the names of the players...... All kinds of shouts converged into one, as if they had become a vast ocean, and soon suppressed the celebration of the fans of the college team.
Come on, Manchester United!
Don't give up, Red Devils!
Glory Glory Man United!
……
This scene was not only captured by the BBC live camera, but also recorded by countless live cameras around the world, presented in front of fans all over the world, which was extremely touching.
"It's really touching!" Old Belon, who was sitting in the chairman's stand, also felt a little sour when he saw it. When it comes to fan loyalty and fanaticism, England fans are second to none.
This, even if he is the president of the college team, he can't help but be a little envious.
But whether it's sourness or envy, it's only temporary. He soon reverted to his role as president of the collegiate team.
"But you Manchester United don't have a chance! You don't want to win us, you don't want to win any seven crowns! ”
Zeng Cheng smiled slightly, raised his head, and said lightly: "Mr. Belon, do you think that just one goal can knock us down?" ”
………………
Zeng Cheng stood up, walked to the guardrail, grabbed the cold iron guardrail, and raised his head, he could see the sky full of stars.
When he looked down again, his eyes fell on the court.
Rooney was the first to see him. However, Zeng Cheng didn't say anything, just nodded, as if to say, I believe in you!
Gradually, more and more players saw him. But he still didn't say anything, just grabbed the guardrail and stood quietly.
Under Zeng Cheng's feet, the away team's coach's bench was already in chaos. Phelan and the others were discussing something fiercely. But head coach Alex Ferguson was still squatting on the sidelines, silently watching the game.
After conceding the goal, he didn't make the slightest adjustment. Because he believes that his players will not be completely messed up with a single goal. If that's the case, then his side won't have swept England and Europe in the past two years, winning three consecutive Premier League titles and defending the title for the first time since the Champions League restructured.
The Red Devils have been the strongest team in Europe in the past three years, not only because of their invincibility in playing the tailwind, but also because of their ability to turn the game back from behind.
This is their greatest magic weapon that is invincible in the world!
This ability has allowed Manchester United to survive many dangerous situations over the past few years, leaving countless legends of invincibility in England and Europe.
………………
As the minutes ticked by, United were still on the offensive.
Losing the goal was like a bloody slash on Manchester United's body. But this knife was not fatal, but aroused the blood in the United soldiers. They began to fight back, crazy counterattack!
The Estudiantes continued to adopt their high-post defensive tactics, responding to United's attack with aggressive pressing.
Ferguson had been sitting, always watching.
Suddenly, he stood up and walked to the sideline and immediately beckoned to Rooney.
The little fat man soon took advantage of a dead ball opportunity and ran to the sidelines to drink water.
'You can't keep up with the front line, their targeted defence is effective and we have to adjust!' Ferguson said succinctly, pointing out the problem directly.
"How?" The little fat man asked, gasping.
Ferguson asked: "Notice Veron and Blagna?" ”
The little fat man nodded and said, "Hmm! ”
"They are defending in the high post, these two midfielders have to keep an eye on Park Ji-sung and Valencia, there is space between the central defenders and the double midfielders, I let Park Ji-sung and Valencia retreat a little bit, further expand the space, you retreat a little, stand this piece!"
Rooney couldn't stop nodding and said, "Understood! ”
"Very well, tell them that the offense revolves around you!" Ferguson patted Rooney's wet shoulder, "Go! ”
………………
The little fat man quickly ran back to the court and immediately conveyed the coach's adjustment instructions. In an instant, the players on the field received the latest instructions: organize the attack around Wayne Rooney!
'Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson is clearly starting to adjust to the situation and I wonder if he has found an effective way to deal with it.
BBC live footage captured this scene of Ferguson and Wayne Rooney talking.
Finney Cotton is well aware that Ferguson is either not moving, or moving must be targeted. It's up to him to see if his adjustments work.
Soon, United launched another attack.
Hargreaves made a long diagonal pass and pinpointed Park Ji-sung on the left.
Park Ji-sung dribbled the ball on the left side and suddenly cut in laterally, and after shaking off Dias on the left side of the penalty area, he hurriedly got up.
Although he didn't score, it made the Manchester United fans in the stands cheer.
"Park Ji-sung has been very good this season, and the action before this shot is also beautiful, but the angle of the shot is too small, Alver is very accurate, there is no chance!" Finney Cotton analyzed with regret.
"Rooney shouted something at Park Ji-sung, he seemed to be telling Park Ji-sung that there is still plenty of time for the game, and he shouldn't be in such a hurry, he must stabilize his emotions and don't be too anxious!"
"His gesture is supposed to say, pass the ball to me!"
………………
The Reds then organized a few more attacks, but none of them were able to effectively break into the Estudiantes penalty area. But United gained a landslide.
"Don't rush Manchester United, take your time, now they have possession and the initiative of the game, it's funny to say, except for the opening shot, the Estudiantes have been in the first half for 20 minutes, and they haven't even had a second shot on goal!"
But anyone can taste a worry from Finney Cotton's commentary.
It doesn't matter if you don't shoot, as long as you can hold it. It's not uncommon to have a game that has taken an overwhelming advantage and only lost the result.
As time ticked by, United's attack was once again sabotaged by Estudiantes. The latter's counter-attack quickly played through the half, but when he tried to pass into the United half, the pass was blocked by Park Ji-sung, who switched to the right, and Hargreaves intercepted the ball.
Juan Perón was the first to press on Hargreaves. But Hargreaves didn't wait for Veron to get closer, and kicked the ball directly to the left and gave it to Valencia, who had just come to the left.
The Ecuadorian winger leaned against the left touchline, stopped the ball and turned to catch up.
Estudiantes right-back Dias clung to him all the way as the Hedgerats' defence quickly withdrew into the penalty area.
Valencia forced Dias to the left side of the penalty area, and suddenly made a feint, quickly kicked the ball to the baseline, and then activated his fastest speed to catch up.
Dias reacted and immediately stuck to Valencia, entangled him desperately. But Valencia finally seized the slightest advantage, and used the little gap created by their speed and technology to pass the ball into the penalty area with their left foot.
Wayne Rooney has been lying in ambush near the penalty spot, and his mind keeps saying that it will come out, man, I believe you, pass it out!
When he saw that Valencia did indeed pass the ball, his first reaction was that no matter where the ball went, he had to block the two central defenders of the Estudiantes first.
At this time, the dominance of the little fat man in the big forbidden area is reflected. When the little fat man ran to the left to catch the ball, Saille and Ray couldn't go around the front to defend, and they were blocked by Rooney.
Rodriguez wanted to intercept the ball halfway through, but Valencia was smart with the ball. The ball bounced off the ground as it entered the penalty area. As a result, although Rodriguez made an interception, the ball flew past his feet.
Rodriguez shouted anxiously, "Watch out for Rooney! ”
