Chapter 198: Nineteen Eight:
Sunderland's current manager is called Bruce, Steve Bruce, he played for Norwich when he was a player, was brought to Manchester United by Alex Ferguson in the late eighties, and has been the absolute core of Manchester United for the next ten years, the cornerstone of the Ferguson dynasty. Bruce lifted his first Premier League title as captain of the Red Devils, and his relationship with the Lord is one of grace and love.
Therefore, the media also regarded this competition as a way for students to congratulate and pay tribute to their teachers.
In his pre-match interview, Bruce said that although he has failed badly in the past 17 meetings with his mentor and has not won a single game, he will work hard and hope to play a quality game to add glory to this special day.
Translate: I won't release water!
Ferguson also laughed.
When this pre-game interview video came out, the fans were very naughty to help with the words, and the evil smile was accompanied by the following: Sample, I can kill you seventeen times, and this time is no problem!
It's just the ridicule of the fans, but the initial tone of this game is still relaxed, and the two coaches also smiled and hugged each other when they met. Bruce played at the Theatre of Dreams for 10 years, and the older fans in the West Stand have watched him play, and even if they haven't, they know the former captain. At this time, everyone feels that it is complete, and the 25th anniversary of the lord can have a lover to congratulate him, but after the game starts, it will not be so complete.
Whether it is from the historical record, the current league standings, the strength of the players and the competitive form, it will not be easy for Sunderland to win this victory, so it is polite to say that, whether it is the results of the pre-match survey or the proportion given by the company, I think the Red Devils will win the vast majority.
British football celebrities and football commentators are also mostly good words, Ferguson has a special status in the Premier League, even if the British Prime Minister's true love is Aston Villa, good things still have to be said.
Being knighted by the royal family is a testament to his contribution to football.
Among these people who came forward to congratulate, there are also those who are not very interested in Manchester United, if the opponent of this game is Chelsea Manchester City, there will be several more layers of cold water, after all, it is only Sunderland.
Black Cats ranked 11th in the Premier League last season, and are 14th after 10 rounds of the new season, which is not a good form. Not to mention the hard power gap, plus it is the home of the Red Devils, it is this kind of day again...... If you want to give a chance to win, even from the most critical point of view, Manchester United have a 70% chance of winning.
The celebrities of these teams are still witty, they say good things first, and then give you a proviso after they are finished.
Football is round, any result is possible, just look at the top five European leagues, there are upsets in every round, no one dares to say that Manchester United is sure to get three points, although the team led by Bruce has been planted in the hands of the lord seventeen times, maybe the eighteenth time to win!
It seems that the whole network is a blessing, in fact, many people still want to see the excitement in their hearts, and they wish Manchester United dropped the chain at a critical moment, in that case, the post-match press conference must be very good!
Think about Liverpool, the milestone games lost less than half, Gerrard was pitted out of temper, the Red Army and the Red Devils have fallen in love and killed each other for so many years in order to compete for the position of the leading big brother, and they should learn from each other at critical moments.
[The coach is in a good mood, and it seems to be very relaxed to see that they are all laughing.] ]
[It's all an illusion, isn't it the same international?] The bottom is still shopping, and the top can also meet and talk about cooperation with a smile. Speaking of football, you can't write a script, and once the game starts, many aspects are not controlled by the manager. For example, every time Mancho plays a game, he has to remind him, especially when there are many injuries and no one is available, and repeatedly reminds him not to be impulsive, don't be impulsive, even if he is provoked, violated, or misjudged...... It's all good, bear with it! The game can be lost, so don't eat the cards! However, it was useless to say more, as soon as he went up, he waved, and he was sent off after a few minutes. ]
[Blackburn used to be the most foul team in the Premier League, but this season has withered, and now the Premier League's No. 1 villain is Sunderland, and the players' tempers can't be suppressed, and they often lose and lose. If you want me to say, unless Bruce directly tells his players, we are here to send warmth today, you take it easy, otherwise the trend of the game will definitely not be as everyone thinks, Sunderland can fight to get half of the Red Devils' starting lineup _(:3ゝ∠)_]
[It's good to go on, you can't lose the game in vain, you have to make a contribution to everyone!] ]
……
United's opponents at all levels are nodding.
You can say that again! Don't be afraid, Sunderland, fight with the Red Devils!
It's best to win, and if you can't win, you can cripple half of the opposite player!
Why are Sunderlands expected to be high?
If it's because of Leander or Kaka who are following the Premier League, and they haven't tracked it before, it's understandable that they don't understand. The Black Cats set a Premier League record last season, with nine red cards in 38 league games, and aside from the cumulative suspensions, one Sunderland player is sent off every four games, which is quite a staggering figure.
The club was named and criticised by the FA at the end of the season, and the BBC also joked that although the most carded team in history is Blackburn, if Sunderland maintain this form, it will not take them five seasons to take out violent Ben to reach the top, and they are now in a state of "accumulation" and "catching up".
The Premier League style of play has always been very strong, and most fans are used to it, but watching the statistics and watching the game to see their players being beaten down by the opposite side are two states, and the Red Devils fans who are at the scene at this time are still too high, Bruce said that they have to go all out, and Sunderland is going to fight to the end.
The home fans were partying, and the players on both sides came out of the players' tunnel under the leadership of the referee team, and the audience friends in front of the TV finally knew who the referee who was officiating the game.
It's Clattenburg!!
He and Alex Ferguson are enemies!!
So far, as long as Clattenburg enforces the game, Manchester United has not been good, in 08 there was a game to receive seven yellow cards, Ferguson directly on the sidelines!
To sum up the style of Clattenburg's officiating game, it is that red and yellow cards are flying all over the sky, and he is very bold and subjective and casual in this regard! It was not only Manchester United who were unlucky in his hands, in the past, when he was in the lower leagues, some players were hit by a flying tackle, and they were scrapped on the spot and retired directly...... This kind of malicious foul should be expelled directly, and the penalty will be added after the game, he only gave the perpetrator a yellow card at that time, which became a big stain on his refereeing career, probably because there are too many stains, and he doesn't mind too much.
CCTV's commentary also frowned.
"Clattenburg is a controversial referee who is sometimes an angel and sometimes a demon for the Premier League giants. According to the results of previous decisions, Manchester United and Liverpool met at his hands, and Liverpool had a higher chance of winning; But if Manchester United meet Chelsea, it's the other way around...... Because Sunderland have a very strong style of play, we want him to be stricter. ”
Fans who watch the live broadcast and are more knowledgeable will be hehe.
Although Clattenburg is not pro-Sunderland, Manchester United has a good chance of planting this game, and the reason lies with Leander.
The referee is a Newcastle fan and has never officiated against the Magpies for the sake of fairness, but there is one man in the United squad who has a lot of problems with the Magpies.
Last season, Blackburn bloodbled Newcastle, because the score was too ugly, a clash broke out directly after the game, and some fans were carried to the hospital...... If nothing else, this one thing alone is enough for Clattenburg, a die-hard fan, to remember Leander's name.
Before today, there was no chance to retaliate, and it was hard to wait until this day, and you can think about what the result will be.
Chelsea fans said that they were very calm, this product is one of the three major car demolition maniacs in the Premier League, and today also let the Red Devils enjoy the taste of being taken care of. The referee has a lot of power in his hands, within the rules, they can tighten one hand and loosen the other, if they deliberately want to help, there are too many points to operate, Manchester United fans can only expect to think too much, whether they think too much, you will know immediately after the game starts.
Sunderland also came to tease, in the first two minutes, their players made a serious injury without confrontation and was carried off the field on a stretcher, Bruce had to make a substitution, let South Korean player Ji Dongyuan replace Wickham to play, because of this substitution, CCTV commentary also joked that this game can be said to be an Asian derby in another sense.
The fans were too embarrassed to remind him that Don was British.
After this accident, in the fourth minute of the first half, Kaka and Nani did a back-to-foot cooperation in the midfield, one of them is samba style and the other is Portuguese samba style, and the cooperation is quite smooth. Seeing that the position and distance were similar, Nani wanted to pass the ball away, but was met by Cattermole, a red-carded professional in the Sunderland team.
He is a homegrown player born in '88 and has a very strong style of play, and in recent seasons he has received one-fifth of the yellow cards in the team. Nani tried to dribble him, and Cattermole's "sweeper" came.
Of course, it's not really sweeping over, but the foot is not very clean when tackling the ball.
Clattenburg was not far away, as if he didn't see it, let alone yellow cards or warnings, and he didn't even give the ball back to Manchester United.
Sunderland launched a counter-attack, Bendtner received the ball and swung it to the right with a header, Larsson took the ball and tried to burst into the box, Samba did the same as Cattermole did, and also gave him a kick.
If people can get away with punishment, will you be able to?
Samba paid the price for his naivety.
Foul foul!
"Samba's kick is really not cautious enough, the foul is a penalty within the scale, but compared to Cattermole, it is a bit excessive." Andy Gray was the first to dare to say, he questioned Clattenburg's decision, he believes that in the same game the referee should be the same for the two teams, since Cattermole's kick was not awarded, then Samba should not be sentenced either...... "The Congolese guards are protesting and want to explain to him, my God! Clattenburg showed the first yellow card of the game and added a free-kick, just where the foul was committed and close to goal. ”
……
……
The audience in front of the TV was stunned!
Play like this at the beginning of the game, not afraid that the scene will get out of control?
[I expected the beginning, but I didn't guess the ending!] I thought he would be a little more subtle, or bias Sunderland in the details, or wait until the second half. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the game, the scale was so fascinating! ]
[I just heard from you that I don't believe it yet!] This is the style of referees in the Premier League? How did he get his job certificate? ]
[Hell knows, it's useless to say anything now, at least for the next ninety minutes, he's in charge.] ]
[This really can't be helped, he didn't misjudge, at most he missed Cattermole, he only needs to generously answer after the game that he didn't see it, and the FA will not necessarily punish him.] Wasn't that the one that gave Manchester United seven yellow cards? He made Ferguson so angry that he only received a ticket after the game, and then paid some money, and the result of the game did not change. ]
[I'm so panicked when I say that, he doesn't make the lord angry to death in a game.] ]
While the fans were actively discussing, Bendtner was standing at the penalty spot and Manchester United lined up the wall.
"Nicholas Bendtner! He is a player on loan from Arsenal to Sunderland, 193 cm tall, with a great air advantage, and very delicate skills at his feet, to say that the most outstanding ability should be the awareness of running, Bendtner can always swim to the most dangerous position and give the opponent a fatal blow! ”
"Bendtner is quite talented in football, and although he is tall, he is very delicate when handling the ball...... Because the Gunners have Chamak and Robinxia, Wenger cannot guarantee Bendtner's playing time, before he was loaned, Van Persie and Chamak each started half a season, and he only started 14 times in all competitions, even when he got the opportunity, he was often as a winger, this treatment made Jean very dissatisfied, Bendtner took the initiative to leave the team, wanted more starts, and then was loaned to Sunderland. ”
Fourteen starts may sound like a lot, but don't forget that in all the games, in fact, only three of those fourteen were in the Premier League, most of them in the FA Cup, League Cup...... The level of the opponent is too low.
Bendtner was eager to prove himself, and you could tell from the way he looked at the wall, thinking about how to attack the goal.
Today's opponent is Manchester United! Arsene Wenger's nemesis, Ferguson's Manchester United! Premier League giants Manchester United!
They are at Old Trafford, today is Ferguson's 25th year celebration, and if they can disrupt this game, maybe a stronger team can take him away from Arsenal, at least better than Sunderland!
As Bendtner struggled with the wall, Leander exchanged glances with Kaka.
The opponent is fighting fiercely! Clattenburg's penalty scale is also terrifying! Be careful today!
Be careful, too! Take care to protect yourself!
……
They are not afraid of Sunderland, even if the opponent is the well-known Premier League villainous valley, as long as you are careful not to get hurt, compared to Sunderland's strength, these Manchester United stars are more worried about the penalty scale! It was because he knew it was Clattenburg that Samba did a small test at the beginning of the game, and he saw Cattermole's movements clearly and imitated them within half a minute. Clattenberg was next to Cattermor when he got down, and he passed as if he didn't see it, and this time he trotted over to enforce the law from afar, and Samba wanted to reason with him, so he ate the card!
Clattenburg has always been accused of saying that there was a problem with the penalty, favoring one of the teams, really, flies don't bite the eggs, he has too much of a problem.
Although I guessed what was going on in my heart, it was not convenient for the commentary to make a direct conclusion, and the most straightforward thing was the fans.
[I wouldn't say anything if I were Samba, you forget that Samba also moved to Manchester United from Blackburn, which tossed Clattenburg's heart enough last season!] However, this is obviously a practice of injuring the enemy and losing 800, Manchester United will meet Newcastle in two rounds, if this game is too annoying, it will definitely be recouped at that time! ]
[Although the opening game is only five minutes, this is enough to choke!] I just joked that Sunderland shouldn't upset the grand event of the lord, and with the current trend, I really want to be right! ]
[Looking at Sunderland's mental outlook, it's really good, and if the referee helps, it's really crazy!] ]
[I'm more worried than that, his behavior of turning a blind eye will make Sunderland more open, and once the referee has the idea that the Red Devils are obviously biased towards us, then the waves will fly!] ]
That's the reason, if the referee didn't suppress the momentum at the beginning and let them kick more and more crazy, it is very likely that a conflict will break out later.
Although Ferguson hasn't said anything yet, his face is no longer good-looking.
Deliberately! This is deliberately to find fault!
Whether the goal goes in or not, Leander wasn't panicking, he was watching Bendtner's movements and De Gea's reaction. The free-kick was beautiful, but De Gea was in better shape, and United's new goalkeeper was very excited today, his form couldn't be suppressed, and his response to the save was simply divine!
De Gea grabbed the ball and then tossed it to his team-mates to instigate a counter-attack.
Because Samba tried the law and slightly measured Clattenberg's intentions, the Manchester United players were more cautious, and they did not dare to make any more controversial moves, for fear of immediately receiving a second yellow card. Nemanja Vidic passed the ball to Carrick, and Sunderland's defenders immediately came up to press for him, and Carrick took advantage of the situation to find Kaka, and you will find that Kaka's side is not restless.
If there is one person in the United squad who can use his speed and power to eat their opponents alive and make the Sunderland defence fearful, it is Leander.
Because the CCTV program has only been on the air for less than ten days, it is still on fire at this time, think about the windshield of the military plane that was blown up, and think about the way he hugged Princess Rooney and ran wildly...... Many players will have a gut hesitation in the face of him, almost half a second of doubt, which is enough time!
Kaka slipped the ball to Leander, who was in a good position to get rid of defenders and run straight towards the opposite goal. In order to achieve the best deterrent effect, let the opposite side of the stop, the dragon father did not play tricks, after receiving the ball, it was a simple and rough acceleration, brute force overtaking.
I'm running fast, I'm stronger than you, I'm over! Good bye!
He had just shaken off the defenders and had barely taken a few steps before he received a signal from Clattenburg.
Offside! Offside!
