227 Belief in Victory!
In the fourth round of the new Premier League season, Manchester United hosted Wigan Athletic.
When the game started, Tang Hong sat on the bench, not Ferguson limited Tang Hong's playing time in order to win the bet, just because of the consumption of the national team match day, Tang Hong, Kagawa Shinji, Van Persie and other main players did not enter the starter, and at the same time, it was necessary to take into account that the next Champions League will be played.
Today is the veterans to support the field, Giggs, Scholes and Carrick three midfield starts, the back line is still Ferdinand and Vidic partner, Rafael and Buttner play two wings, the front line Nani, Welbeck, Hernandez started together for the first time in a long time.
Perhaps it was the Reds who had turned into a classic car, the pace of the first half was always slow, and it was difficult for United to find a flaw in Wigan Athletic's bucket formation to create a threat.
The game was lethargic to watch, and Wigan Athletic became more comfortable with each success, deniing United even a shot on goal in the final 15 minutes of the first half.
The attack was not threatening, which everyone who watched the game knew well, and as expected, the two teams ended the first half with a goalless draw.
Alex Ferguson asked his substitutes to warm up on the pitch and be ready to come on for the second half.
It could be seen that the old lord was also a little upset.
The strength of the giants often depends on the depth of the squad, and it is obvious that the depth of Manchester United's squad is very unoptimistic, almost only one set of squads that can win, and the data of the first three rounds of the season also shows that the winning points are only concentrated in the forward line.
This means that United's continued competitiveness is not precarious.
Now he waited for Rooney to change his mind.
For Wayne Rooney to return to the main squad for Manchester United, either Rooney realizes that Manchester United can continue to win games without him and he has to fight for survival, or Manchester United bow to Rooney and promise him a big contract to play for Manchester United.
Apparently Ferguson is trying the first approach.
Before the start of the second half, Manchester United made a substitution, and Ferguson only sent Tang Hong on the pitch, and he replaced Nani, who had a good time in the first half but looked like he was lost, and couldn't find where the opponent's goal was.
Manchester United's three kings, Yang However, he doesn't shoot, he doesn't pass, and the most influential thing in the team is Nani, at least Valencia and Ashley Young will pass the ball to their teammates.
Maybe when he was on the field, Nani fantasized about himself as Ronaldo, always thinking that he would also go thousands of miles to ride alone to score a dozen beautiful goals, but unfortunately it backfired, but he was about to come to the end of his rope at Old Trafford, and it was obvious that he had gone astray.
After Tang Hong came on the field, he didn't care what his frontline teammates thought, and his teammates in the midfield and backfield actively passed the ball to him.
Wigan Athletic's defense pays attention to physical confrontation, and Tang Hong's breakthrough environment is not ideal in the case of attacking the tough game, and stepping into the offensive danger zone in the front court is equivalent to entering a minefield, and collisions and confrontations will occur at any time.
So Tang Hong tried to reduce his possession of the ball as much as possible, and created opportunities for his teammates on the front line with a kick in the active running response, hoping to play some passing and cutting combinations to tear apart the opponent's defense.
Wigan Athletic will naturally list Tang Hong as the number one target, at this time Tang Hong misses Van Persie on the bench, there is such a target to attract firepower, and he is really much easier on the field.
In the 53rd minute of the game, Tang Hong and Ryan Giggs, who played in the midfield today, came to the front of the penalty area after a quick short pass, Hernandez was closely marked, Tang Hong passed the ball diagonally to the right rib of the penalty area and quickly inserted the ball into the back of the goal.
Welbeck ran to the right side of the penalty area and looked up at the goal, raised his foot and shot!
Tang Hong couldn't help but shout at the sky during the follow-up, "! ”
How dare you!
What level is at your feet and you don't have a little bit in mind?
If you lead by a big score, you won't say anything, Langbei!
But now it's a draw!
Tang Hong shouted a few words of dissatisfaction at Welbeck, stretched out his hand to signal his front, there was no one to mark in his running position just now!
Pass it and it's a goal!
Isn't it nice to be smiling after the goal?
Welbeck's expression was not a taste.
After a summer, his status in the team plummeted.
Van Persie is here, Tang Hong is here, these are two wolves!
If I don't strive for a good performance, I am afraid that he will be on par with Nani as soon as he scores a beautiful goal!
......
Welbeck did show a lot of enthusiasm and hard work, as the heir to the Red Devils, it can be said that it has been relatively rare in the past ten years to be able to stand in the theater of dreams from the Red Devils academy, so the expectations are higher, since the class of 92, the main squad of Manchester United every season after that, almost no players trained outside the class of 92, Welbeck has a chance to change the situation, but now the situation seems to be very unfavorable to him.
Wigan Athletic almost did not threaten the offensive in the Theatre of Dreams, Manchester United's defense finally played normally today, Ferdinand and Vidic made people see a bit of a copper wall, but in fact, Wigan Athletic themselves counterattacked and played a really miserable one, and the long pass almost failed to comfortably send the ball to the striker's feet.
De Gea, who was sitting on the bench, estimated that he would be a little unbalanced, why didn't he catch up with this kind of abuse and no risk and could brush up the statistics of the opponent in the whole game?
Lindegaard may have thought the opposite, desperate for the backline to miss a few chances for the opponent to show his ability to make a save, otherwise, how could he absolutely snatch the main force from De Gea by standing in front of the goal line as a spectator?
In the 61st minute of the game, Tang Hong received a pass from Scholes on the left side of the front field and passed the ball to Giggs, and after the ball was released, he cut inside and ran away, and Giggs passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area.
Tang Hong turned his head and looked, his eyes lit up!
Welbeck actually came to the middle of the penalty area to answer, boy, something!
At the moment when Welbeck stopped the ball, Tang Hong rushed three meters next to him and continued to kill the left rib in the penalty area!
Tang Hong, who was already racing at speed, shouted at Welbeck: "Pass the ball!" ”
Maybe Welbeck couldn't understand Tang Hong's standard American accent English, and he shook the ball with his left foot and raised his foot to shoot!
It's really done in one go, without giving opponents and teammates a chance to react!
Both Tang Hong and Hernandez stopped their running steps and turned their heads to look at Wigan Athletic's goal!
It's high, and I'm going to jerk off!
Hernandez is quite speechless, in fact, now Manchester United's configuration has made it difficult for him to get opportunities in front of goal, he prefers Yang but not to shoot and Wa does not shoot, at least the two brothers will create a chance for the striker to steal points, it is best to have a Rooney behind him to contain the firepower and be able to run against offside at any time, but unfortunately, that style of play has been tested, Manchester United will still be strong, but not very strong, at least not at the championship level, so there is a change now.
Tang Hong suddenly couldn't suppress his temper!
If Van Persie plays this ball like this, he has no opinion!
Of course, the main center has unlimited firing rights!
But a substitute rotation striker plays like this, which is a bit out of the eyes of the Braga legend founder, the municipal stadium green god, the Europa gun king, and the Portuguese Super League horror goal machine!
Tang Hong turned around and yelled at Welbeck with a cold face: "You want to shoot like this, change teams, shoot whatever you want!" Even if you can't see your teammates running, you should weigh whether you can blast out a world wave that is worshiped by thousands of people!
Keep your eyes open and look at the scoreboard, it's 0:0 fucking, Manchester United, the number of goals is 0!
It doesn't matter if you don't win a game, don't waste our efforts and let us take the blame!
Next time, pass me the ball honestly! ”
Welbeck had actually raised his hand to apologize before Tang Hong could speak.
But Tang Hong obviously doesn't need his apologies, he wants to win, he wants to win!
He has no intention of being the spiritual leader of Manchester United, but after coming to the Premier League, Tang Hong's belief in winning every game has become more firm!
It's a far cry from his mentality when he landed in Portugal last year, where he initially fought for chance!
The relationship and configuration within the team are very simple, other players can't score, he can score, Yaltim sets him as the core, and the other players have no opinion, because everyone wants to win!
But at Manchester United, it's a much more complicated situation.
Why would Nani rather fight for the slim chance of a goal than pass the ball?
Is it just a simple brainlessness plus a ball style?
No, look at him in the Portuguese national team to dare to do that?
Because only a better performance can stay at Manchester United, in this giant club that the vast majority of players are fascinated by!
Give the opportunity to others, then you will end up being a tool man or a rotation to make up the number of ornaments.
This is especially true for strikers.
Welbeck was a little overwhelmed by Tang Hong's yelling, and he didn't dare to talk back to Tang Hong.
Maybe he didn't expect Tang Hong, a newcomer with a foreign household registration book, to dare to be so crossy!
Ferguson sat in the dugout with his arms crossed over his chest and chewed gum, his face not very good-looking.
Anyway, it is difficult to understand whether Tang Hong's teammates are destroying unity or Welbeck wasting an opportunity that causes him to look unkind.
The United fans in the stands looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do at this time.
Finished!
There's infighting!
The storm at Old Trafford is here again!
The two bigwigs on the field, Scholes and Ryan Giggs, both appeased Tang Hong, and they didn't dare to say that Tang Hong was wrong to accuse Welbeck just now, after all, there was no goal, and if Manchester United lost points at home, this was unacceptable to anyone.
Wigan Athletic thought their chance had come!
Manchester United are fighting in the nest!
This is a godsend, why not take the opportunity to stab Manchester United twice?
As a result, Wigan Athletic just launched a fast attack and wanted to catch Manchester United off guard, but the fast attack launched after Buettna's successful defense on the wing of the backfield turned into a fatal blow!
Scholes sent the ball to the left of midfield when he was too late in midfield.
Tang Hong turned into the inside line in the fast running position and cut inside, and decisively hit the goal when he came to the front of the penalty area!
There is no ingenuity and visual beauty of his previous inner arc, it is completely explosive!
But the football flew straight to the top right corner of the goal like a meteor, but it brought infinite visual shock!
When the football flew into the corner of the goal, the crowd at Old Trafford stood up and cheered wildly, like boiling water!
All eyes were on the man wearing the number 7 jersey!
It's like watching the gods descend to earth!
