Chapter 669: The Victory Is Decided

Although Ding Hongxing's long pass is accurate, but Manchester United's tiger does not play out of the hole, so that even if Ding Hongxing finds a vacancy and passes the ball over, it is difficult to have any effect, after all, Manchester United's backfield is too small, and the defenders can quickly be in place, even if there is a chance, it is fleeting and difficult to grasp.

The game came to a stalemate, but this is not too surprising, although fans like to watch the final, but since ancient times, the final has no name, and there are only a handful of people who can play a hearty attack in the final.

Ding Hongxing is not in a hurry, he is unhurried to mobilize the Manchester United team's defense with a long pass, anyway, he only needs to pass the ball, but the Manchester United team's defenders must run around with the ball, under such pressure, I believe that the physical consumption of the Manchester United team is much greater than that of the Manchester City team.

Ferguson has been frowning, he originally hoped that the Manchester City team would be impatient if he couldn't attack for a long time, which would give the Manchester United team a chance, but he didn't expect Ding Hongxing to be so calm, now the Manchester City team's defense is basically complete, and Ding Hongxing is such a super fast person in the backline, although the left winger of the Manchester United team is fast, he has always paid attention to counterattacks, but his speed is not as fast as Ding Hongxing, and his confrontation ability is far from Ding Hongxing, even if there is a counterattack opportunity, it is difficult to seize.

Ferguson glanced at Ding Hongxing deeply, since Ding Hongxing was defending against Manchester United's counterattack, then he would simply stick to it, if he dragged it into a penalty to win the victory, it is not yet known who will die.

Ferguson stood up and made a gesture to the pitch, signaling the players to ignore how the Manchester City team played, and to insist on the integrity of the defensive formation.

The game was very dull, but the fans on both sides were still enthusiastically cheering for their teams, and soon, the first half was over, in the entire first half, Manchester City only had four shots on goal, while Manchester United only had two shots on goal, most of these shots were long-range shots, only Ding Hongxing had a free kick shot from 30 meters away to pose a threat to the goal, this shot was saved by Schmeichel struggling to save the bottom line, causing the fans to exclaim.

After entering the dressing room, Mu Shengli did not criticize the players, he also knew that the record of two wins and one draw against Manchester United this season does not mean anything, and it cannot be said that this game will definitely be won, after all, this is the final of an important cup competition in England, and the opponent is also the strongest opponent in the Premier League.

Therefore, Mu Shengli praised the team's performance in the first half, because their defense made it impossible for Manchester United to fight back, and the United only had two hasty long-range shots, which said it all, and he also told the players to stick to this style of play in the second half, and not to be impatient.

In the second half of the game, the scene was still dull, Manchester United insisted on the strategy of the tiger not out of the hole, the Manchester City team fell in their own half, they basically didn't care, at most the striker harassed in the front, but as long as the Manchester City team's attack hit the Manchester United team's half, they immediately began to rush frantically, until the attack was destroyed, Manchester United's half from the middle circle to the 30-meter line area, became a tragic meat grinder, both players in this area is fighting for every inch of land, often scrambling to people to turn over.

Twenty-five minutes into the second half of the game, Mu Shengli began to make personnel adjustments, he replaced Nedved and Seedorf two players in a row, both of whom were hidden by Mu Shengli, at this time it was the right time to play, these two new forces suddenly gave Manchester City the upper hand in the midfield competition, Nedved's running ability and confrontation ability gave him an absolute advantage in the midfield competition, and Seedorf's skill and imagination gave Manchester City an extra point to hold the ball in the front court, Manchester United's starting line-up was already the strongest one, and it was difficult for Ferguson to make adjustments at this time.

Ferguson frowned, his worst fear still happened, Manchester City has a backhand, but Manchester United has not many backs, his best players are already on the field, the game has been played for most of the half, and the scramble is very fierce, their physical consumption is very large, he can only watch Manchester United gradually fall into decline.

Ferguson stood up and made a gesture to let Manchester United's formation continue to be recycled, so that the area they have to defend is smaller, which can save some energy, of course, it also makes their formation lose its elasticity and strategic depth, Manchester City's attack can directly face the Manchester United goal, but there is no way to do it.

Ferguson told the players to grit their teeth and insist that as long as they get past the physical pole of this period, they will feel better.

But at this moment, Ding Hongxing began to plug in, into the attack, the timing of his insertion was wonderful, at this time it was the time when the physical fitness of the Manchester United team could not support it, and their formation was being recycled, which was also a damage to their momentum, Ding Hongxing's insertion was like the last straw that crushed the camel.

In the thirtieth minute of the second half, Ding Hongxing received a direct pass from Nedved, and gave it to Seedorf on the right rib before Keane pounced, and then quickly inserted it and got rid of Keane, Seedorf sent a diagonal pass in time and sent it to Ding Hongxing's feet, Ding Hongxing was already at the front of the penalty area at this time, about 30 meters away from the goal, and there were no Manchester United defenders within two meters of him, Ding Hongxing pulled his foot and shot angrily, and the ball flew straight into the upper right corner of the Manchester United goal like a cannonball.

Seeing this scene, Ferguson shook his head helplessly, his tactics have actually been very successful, Manchester City team in the first 75 minutes without a few threatening shots on goal can be proved, but now Manchester United is indeed inferior to Manchester City, especially Ding Hongxing, almost impossible. Defensively, this shot just now, changing a player, is not a good opportunity at all, but giving Ding Hongxing is a goal, which is really terrible.

Either way, now that United are behind, Ferguson will have to bring on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to step up his attack and hope to equalise with fifteen minutes remaining.

But it backfired, after Manchester United pressed the attack, their backfield was even more empty, the game went to the 41st minute of the second half, Ding Hongxing made a successful steal in the backfield, the first long pass on the right side, Seedorf received the ball and burst into the penalty area, inverted triangle pass, Van Nistelrooy in the middle easily pushed the shot, expanding the lead for the Manchester City team.
