Manchester United came with hope and confidence to win.

The whole Manchester United club, including coaches, players, fans, and supporting media, hope that Manchester United can beat Newcastle United, not only because of the League Cup competition, but also because of the league competition, Manchester United and Newcastle United are not much different in points, they are strong contenders for the league title, and the points have been rising rapidly since the year, but what is clear to everyone is that Manchester United must win Newcastle United head-on if they want to beat Newcastle United in the league competition.

This is important.

If Newcastle United loses every time, even if the points do not fall by much, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the entire team.

The game is important now.

They will have to win to give confidence to the squad and have a better chance of winning their next league game against Newcastle United.

In the last leg of the League Cup semi-finals, Manchester United's defense made consecutive mistakes and even scored an own goal, which was considered by the media to be a 'lack of confidence' performance, "Manchester United's backfield lacks confidence in Zhen Shaolong's defense, and they have not succeeded once. Even if Ferguson is confident, Zhen Shaolong still maintains a very high scoring efficiency, and when facing Zhen Shaolong, Ferdinand, Vidic and other defensive stars will feel nervous, and the nervousness will also lead to an increase in their mistakes......"

This is the interpretation of the media.

Manchester United's backfield players are very unhappy.

Vidic and Carrick both felt that they were just playing badly temporarily, and they had no confidence in facing Zhen Shaolong, and there was no relationship in the slightest, indeed...... They didn't have much confidence in the face of Zhen Shaolong, but that had nothing to do with the mistakes in the game.

Ferdinand...... He thought it was related to Zhen Shaolong's spiritual cultivation, Zhen Shaolong persuaded himself that he could complete the breakthrough, and they were affected and made mistakes.

Ahem.

Regardless, United are confident.

As manager Alex Ferguson said, they felt they had found a way to deal with Newcastle United, and the last leg was an experience, and they scored three goals in the whole game, although the opponent scored four, showing amazing efficiency, but their mistakes were the driving force, as long as they can reduce the mistakes, they will definitely score more goals than their opponents.

That's what Ferguson said.

Manchester United players are also very recognizable.

Before the game, Manchester United showed a sworn attitude, and the core of the team, C-Ronaldo, said, "We want to win this back!" ”

"It's not a goal behind, we'll score more!" When C-Ronaldo made a statement, the expression on his face was full of persuasion, coupled with the trademark evil smile on the corner of his mouth, it gave people the feeling that Manchester United could easily win.

Wayne Rooney, who has long insisted on comparing with C-Ronaldo, was not far behind in an interview, saying, "In the last game, I scored a goal, and this time I believe I will score more." ”

"No matter what everyone else says, the victory will be for Manchester United!"

Other Manchester United players also expressed their opinions, talking about the confidence of winning, showing high morale, and then Rooney looked at the report and felt depressed, media reports are limited by the number of words, some media online reports, but a detailed record of what each Manchester United player said, some reports are limited by the number of words, can only describe some interviews.

And then.

What Ronaldo said was reported in detail, and others could easily be 'cut', and Wayne Rooney was also among the 'cuts', and his interview with other Manchester United players said, "Others have also expressed confidence in winning." ”

"Others!?"

"Hell!"

Rooney read several reports in a row, and was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, and he didn't feel anything at ordinary times, compared with C-Ronaldo's treatment, the gap immediately appeared, he felt that C-Ronaldo was an Englishman, and he, the forward genius Wayne Rooney, was just a foreign player wearing the skin of England, and was being seriously unfairly treated by the British media.

Finally, Rooney let out a long sigh.

He has to admit that C-Ronaldo's performance is really good, a wing player in a lower position, who has scored more goals than himself, and can often assist the striker, his personal performance and overall role are stronger than him, and in the whole world football, only Newcastle United's Zhen Shaolong is stronger than C-Ronaldo.

When I think of Zhen Shaolong, I think of the training method in Ferdinand's mouth.

At the end of the last round, Rooney had a detailed conversation with Ferdinand, and heard what he called the method of 'training physically and mentally together', the method of mental training, in short, is to keep convincing yourself, like an extreme madman, to keep reminding yourself, "You can do it!" You can score goals! Your immediate shot is sure to hit accurately! ”

Then, shoot!

Ferdinand's exact words are this: "Close your eyes at first to help you concentrate." When you train more, you can try to open your eyes. ”

The method of physical training is quite straightforward - squatting and stepping.

"Owen is training his horse." Rio Ferdinand's reminder was very convincing for Rooney, and Owen's performance has really improved recently, ranking sixth and seventh in the scorer list, which is significantly better than in the previous two seasons.

Rooney hurriedly called Owen and got a very definite answer, "You also want to train the horse?" Wayne, you made the right decision! ”

"Specially, very much! Believe me! ”

"Horse steps are very helpful, but I especially remind you that you must have perseverance and perseverance, the training of horse steps is not easy, especially if you want to explore ...... by yourself"

Rooney suddenly became confident when he heard this, and even considered whether to hire a coach? Instructors who teach Chinese Kung Fu?

He hadn't decided yet.

Because the competition has been going on, Manchester United's games are also very intensive, most of the time is spent in recovery and games, Rooney does not have much time to try to do new training, and he also wants to prepare, such as specifying the training time, finding a friend to train with, in addition, you can also hire a coach who knows Chinese kung fu to guide you, and so on.

Plus, he's not quite convinced.

Rooney hopes to go to the game and look at Zhen Shaolong's performance again, so as to confirm the statements of Ferdinand and Owen, and continue to convince himself that he can make up his mind when the time comes, so in the face of the game with Newcastle United, Rooney hopes that Zhen Shaolong can play well, and even say that he has an amazing performance, even if Manchester United loses......

No!

Of course Manchester United will win!

The best of both worlds was that Zhen Shaolong had a very good performance and continued to complete the hat in the game, while Manchester United scored more than five goals to eliminate Newcastle United.

Yes, that's it!

————

The game is coming.

Newcastle fans are looking forward to the game, not only because it is the League Cup semi-finals, but also because of the League Cup, Newcastle United won the league title and FA Cup last season, and this season won the League Cup, which is equivalent to winning all the domestic championships in England.

They are also very confident.

The other semi-final is Tottenham Hotspur and Burnley, as long as they cross the League Cup semi-finals, the worst they can get to the final is to meet Tottenham, Tottenham is also a very strong team, but there is still a certain gap with the Premier League's top Manchester United, Liverpool and other teams.

This game is just as confident.

In the first leg at Old Trafford, they beat Manchester United 4-3 and there was no reason to lose back at James Park.

The fans were very confident and looking forward to the game, and there were a lot of spectators.

St James' Park was full early, and many fans chose to watch the game live up close in the small square of the park without buying tickets, using the huge TV screen in the square.

However, Newcastle United are not confident.

The mentality of the players is better, the head coach Keegan is uncertain about the game, the last win is very suspenseful, relying mostly on the opponent's mistakes, but also relying on Zhen Shaolong's personal performance, Manchester United showed strong pressing and attacking ability in the game, and came to St James' Park to score, what performance will be uncertain.

Keegan couldn't talk about confidence because he lacked control of the game, even of the team.

If the opponent is a team in the lower reaches of the league, he will definitely be very confident, even if Zhen Shaolong does not play, with the strength of Newcastle United, he can also win, the opponent is Manchester United is different, Zhen Shaolong does not play, it cannot be said that 100% will lose, but the probability of winning is definitely not high, and Zhen Shaolong's performance is exactly what he cannot control.

It can only be said that the game is in the hands of Zhen Shaolong.

It sounds a bit sad that the manager has no control over the team and the decision is in the hands of one player, but that's the reality.

Keegan didn't give an interview before the game, he didn't know whether to express confidence or to talk more low-key, but one idea was certain, "When the season is over, we must bring in a few quality players!" The team must strengthen its strength! ”

It's not that hard.

Even if Ashley is a well-known black-hearted sports businessman, the necessary investment will definitely be made, only by maintaining good results, the club can earn higher returns, can lead the team to play good results, Keegan is not afraid of not being able to convince Ashley.

If there are achievements, there will be confidence!

on the field.

Newcastle United and Manchester United are standing in good positions, they are already waiting for the game to start, many Manchester United players are looking at Zhen Shaolong, they know that defending Zhen Shaolong is the key to winning or losing the game, let Zhen Shaolong play at will, and the goal must be kicked into a sieve.

Zhen Shaolong didn't care about the eyes he faced, he was very confident in the game, the temporary skill "Bounce Breakthrough" worked very well, and the important thing was that the skill effect made up for his shortcomings - the lack of ability to get rid of.

This is where the technical flaw lies.

Zhen Shaolong is very clear about his level, and he is also very aware of the characteristics brought by his own skills, his shooting has been close to perfection, as well as some means such as "Prediction", "Skillful Skills", and unreasonable skills such as "Must Kill", but just the ability to break the goal is strong, not necessarily able to perform well, as long as the opponent adopts crowd tactics to defend, or let two excellent defenders specialize in defense, he will still be very restricted, because he lacks the means to get rid of it directly.

"Assault" is good, but it can only be used once.

Other abilities have nothing to do with getting rid of, and in the face of the opponent's close marking, it is necessary to have the means to get rid of it, so that it is easy to create good opportunities.

"Bounce Breakthrough" is a skill to break through and get rid of defense.

Now that he has "Rebound Breakthrough" in hand, Zhen Shaolong dares to say that he is not afraid of any opponent, and he is sure that no one can defend himself.

"Beep......

The referee's whistle announces the start of the game.

Owen kicked the ball to Zhen Shaolong, Zhen Shaolong passed back and handed the ball to Barton, and rushed forward.

Carrick immediately came to the defensive.

When Zhen Shaolong was about to run to the penalty area, Ferdinand also rushed over, and the two kept following Zhen Shaolong, and also paid attention to the position of the football to prevent the opponent's possible receiving route.

After being closely guarded by two people, Zhen Shaolong also slowed down and ran towards the left side instead.

Football is already at the feet of Enzobia.

N'Zogbia wanted to dribble forward, but was tangled by C-Ronaldo, and he kicked to Gremie, who passed back to Jean, who followed up with a kick to Barton.

Zhen Shaolong was still on the left, nearly ten meters away from the line of the big penalty area.

It's a very difficult position to pose a threat.

Rio Ferdinand also slowed down and stood near the line of the penalty area, he is a central defender and the commander of Manchester United's goal-front defense, it is impossible to follow too far, Carrick has no scruples, he is focused on defending Zhen Shaolong.

When there's only one Carrick around, it's easy to get the ball.

Zhen Shaolong took the ball with his back to Carrick, constantly used his body to protect the ball, and also squeezed Carrick behind him, Carrick was afraid of being broken through, and he didn't dare to rush up to grab the ball.

At this time, Zhen Shaolong paid attention to the position, and felt that it was almost there.

To break through!

The breakthrough method he chose was not "Assault" or "Bounce Breakthrough", but used the effect of "Skill", after pulling the ball to the surface of his foot, he kept the ball on the surface of his foot for a second, and the next moment he turned his head and glanced at Carrick's legs.

Carrick noticed Zhen Shaolong's movements, and subconsciously felt that the opponent would "divide the ball", and even planned to "wear the crotch", he immediately paid attention to the gap between his legs, and beware of the opponent kicking the ball to the side.

Zhen Shaolong's approach was unexpected.

He did turn quickly, but he didn't kick the ball to the side, naturally it wasn't a human ball, Carrick glanced left and right to find the ball, only to find that the ball was still on the opponent's feet.

"How is this done?" Carrick was shocked.

This momentary shock also affected the speed of reaction, he didn't be able to keep up at the first time, he was left behind by Zhen Shaolong, Zhen Shaolong immediately accelerated towards the penalty area, Ferdinand, Gary Neville came together.

Rio Ferdinand is the backbone of the defence.

Neville is the captain.

Manchester United's two defenders defend together and can force any player to pass the ball, but Zhen Shaolong continued to rush forward, and even ignored Carrick behind him, he was sandwiched between two in front, one in the back, and three people, and Gary Neville was nearly a meter away, he waved his foot and kicked the ball forward, as if he was going to pass the ball into the penalty area.

Right away.

The football hit Neville in the thigh.

was kicked at such a close distance, even if the force was not very great, he couldn't react at all, but fortunately, he blocked the ball with his body, and Carrick behind him breathed a sigh of relief, and his movements became slow, Ferdinand turned his head to look to the side, only to find that Zhen Shaolong was running sideways and rushing over.

What about balls?

Ferdinand was shocked and found that the football had bounced at the opponent's feet!

"Danger!"

"Watch him!"

"Guard against him!"

Manchester United's backfield immediately realized the danger, but Rio Ferdinand, Neville, and Carrick all went to defend Zhen Shaolong, another central defender Vidic was still on the right side, and Scholes was also on the penalty line to guard Barton, and other Manchester United players were at a distance from the penalty area, and there was no obstacle between Zhen Shaolong and Manchester United's goal.

Can't stop it!

Many Manchester United players can only look at Van der Sar, hoping that Van der Sar can become brave and successfully save Zhen Shaolong's shot.

Van der Sar thinks so too.

He rushed out of the goal.

And then.

Zhen Shaolong kicked the anti-aircraft gun in the air, but when he fell, he accurately brushed the crossbar and fell into the goal.

"The ball went in ——!"

“Goooooooal！！！”

"In less than half a minute of the opening game, Zhen Shaolong broke through the goal! 1-0, 5-3 over two legs! Newcastle United lead by two goals......"
