Chapter 589: I've Convinced Myself!

When the second half came on, it was easy for others to see the excitement hidden inside Ferdinand's face in his chest.

Ferdinand was happy.

He was complimented.

It doesn't matter what other people praise, the key praise is manager Alex Ferguson, in Ferdinand's heart, Ferguson is one of the people he respects the most, the best manager in the world, the most worthy of follow, and it was under Ferguson's call that he chose to leave West Ham United and join Manchester United.

On weekdays, Ferguson gives people the feeling that he is very, very serious, and he is very strict in training.

He doesn't praise people much.

In the entire Manchester United team, that is, Cristiano Ronaldo can have this treatment, even Wayne Rooney, who is considered a 'hardcore', is much worse, because his performance has not reached a very surprising and expected level.

Those are just compliments in football.

Ferdinand was thrilled that Ferguson was praising his own wisdom, wisdom! What an attractive term! Professional footballers are generally considered to have a 'low IQ', and it is difficult to say that it is associated with 'developed limbs', but most professional footballers really have little intelligence, and they are already wise if they don't do stupid things.

What professional player can be praised for his intelligence?

"Now!"

"Me!"

"Leo Ferdinand! And it did! ”

Ferdinand participated in the game with this mood, he was excited and full of motivation at the same time, more determined to keep an eye on Zhen Shaolong, and the important thing is to also observe the opponent and find the secret of the opponent's good performance.

He's done a good job.

Or rather, his luck.

At halftime, Ferguson continued to emphasize attack, and the effect was also very obvious, Manchester United strengthened the control of the midfield, and the continuous offensive play became more calm and efficient.

With such a pressing attack, Newcastle United could only defend passively.

There are also chances in the front court.

But very little.

Nearly 20 minutes into the second half, Zhen Shaolong only had a pitiful three touches of the ball, one of which created a threat, but the outside shot still failed to score, and the other two were surrounded by the opponent and grabbed because there was no support behind him.

Twenty minutes later, United started scoring as well.

This time it was Patrice Evra's left-footed cross, Rooney was ten meters from the goal, scrambled ahead of Coloccini, the ball bounced off the post, and then Berbatov crossed back into the box, and Ronaldo followed up to complete the goal.

"Cristiano Ronaldo!"

"The ball is in!"

"2 to 3! Manchester United finally got a goal back......"

It was a very difficult goal.

Manchester United attacked for more than 20 minutes in a row, and when they had an absolute advantage, they continued to besiege the penalty area, but they were unable to complete the goal, and after finally finishing the goal, the Manchester United fans in the stands around all breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although it was just a goal, one is better than nothing.

Manchester United fans want to score more.

The same is true of the Manchester United players on the field, C-Ronaldo did not have the intention of celebrating, just waved his arms to symbolically celebrate, and then returned to his own half of the field and urged the referee to resume the game quickly.

Undoubtedly.

Manchester United are very unwilling.

The first leg of the English League Cup semi-finals is in front of us, and the first leg is more important for Manchester United because the venue is Old Trafford, and they have lost at home to Newcastle United.

Also, it's a shame to lose.

Last season, Manchester United and Newcastle United had a total defeat record, and a draw at the beginning of this season, but everyone knows that the draw is very wet, and Zhen Shaolong did not return to the team at that time, they faced Newcastle United without Zhen Shaolong, and a draw is not worth rejoicing, they are determined to beat Newcastle United.

Manchester United want to win, they are very resolute and take the game very seriously.

This firmness facilitates performance.

Just seven minutes from their last goal, United's attack went wide and Smith brought down Ryan Giggs with a sliding tackle.

Manchester United drive a cross from the wing.

Wayne Rooney headed in front of Jean and the ball was punched out by goalkeeper Given, before Berbatov played to Scholes, who crossed to the right and Ronaldo followed up with a shot into the far corner.

"The ball is in!"

"C-Ronaldo! C-Ronaldo! It's Cristiano Ronaldo again! He's a god! ”

"3 to 3! Cristiano Ronaldo helped Manchester United equalize the score, and now the situation on the field, Manchester United seems to be crazy, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who has ...... consecutive shots and goals"

In the admiration of the commentators, Manchester United was finally able to let go of their hands to celebrate, and several players surrounded Cristiano Ronaldo and cheered excitedly.

Wayne Rooney watched from a distance, a look of reluctance on his face.

Rooney is not reconciled!

C-Ronaldo's two goals just now were opportunities that he didn't get when he couldn't score, and he couldn't score two good chances, which is really annoying, and the important thing is that it was C-Ronaldo who scored the goals.

It is rumored that Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney do not have a good relationship.

It's true.

The dispute between Rooney and C. Ronaldo is mainly about the right to fire on the field, and the manager Ferguson asked Rooney to cooperate with C-Ronaldo, but Rooney believes that he is a striker, a player with the 'right to fire first', and it makes no sense to cooperate with a full-back, and at the same time, C-Ronaldo's performance is getting better and better.

That's where the differences lie.

The de facto core of Manchester United's squad is Cristiano Ronaldo, but Rooney is very unhappy with this because his goal has suffered.

Rooney has to admit that Cristiano Ronaldo is excellent.

He could only be depressed.

Ferdinand walked over from the side, patted Rooney on the shoulder, watched the team's celebration from afar, and said, "Wayne, I know you're uncomfortable. Remember what I said last time? ”

"Now I already know the secret of Zhen Shaolong's good performance, in the whole team, we have the best relationship, I just want to share this secret with you."

Rooney tugged at the corners of his mouth, "What the hell are you talking about?" ”

"You understand."

If it was any other time, Rooney simply ignored it, he always felt that Rio Ferdinand seemed to have a problem in his head, a defender who was always immersed in figuring out how to score goals more easily.

Isn't that just a problem?

Now Rooney suddenly became a little interested.

In the entire Premier League, and indeed in the whole world football, who is better than Cristiano Ronaldo? The only thing he could think of was Zhen Shaolong, Zhen Shaolong's performance was also crazy, and he couldn't figure it out with common sense.

So......

Maybe he should listen to what Ferdinand said.

————

3 to 3!

Manchester United equalised the scores.

Although the score is just a draw, and even good for Newcastle United, after all, it is an away game, they got three away goals, but the side that was tied and tied has a completely different feeling.

Newcastle United felt depressed, as if they were falling behind.

Alan Smith, the interim captain on the field, finally made a difference, cheering up his teammates and saying, "Don't worry! Be steady! Just a tie! ”

"We're going to play a little bit more consistent!"

"Come on!"

Smith's shouting didn't seem to be of much use, and his teammates were still a little unmotivated, which also made Zhen Shaolong a little worried, he simply ran back a little, waved with one hand and shouted, "Don't worry!" Kick it well! Defend well! ”

"We'll get back ahead, rest assured!"

Now everyone is in good spirits.

Smith said a lot of things out loud, mainly because there was nothing real, and his teammates listened to it.

Zhen Shaolong is different!

Zhen Shaolong said that he can regain the lead, that is, he will definitely be able to score, what else is there to worry about?

Isn't it just a tie!

We have Zhen Shaolong, what are we afraid of, Manchester United? No matter how hard they play and how hard they suppress, the goal will definitely not catch up with Zhen Shaolong!

Everyone suddenly became confident.

Smith was deeply touched by this scene.

Newcastle United's captain has always been Bart, but Bart's age is a little older, and the number of appearances is relatively less, and the head coach Keegan made him an interim captain, he has more experience and is very strong, so he is naturally qualified to be the captain.

Now Smith feels that the captain should be given to Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong is much more authoritative than him, even he listens to Zhen Shaolong, what's the point of him being the captain on the spot?

Zhen Shaolong didn't just say.

Also do.

After the game restarted, he ran a lot more actively, and he kept retreating to take the initiative to get the ball, which caused a lot of trouble for the Manchester United defense.

Although Manchester United still have the advantage of the situation, with a lot more time in possession than Newcastle United, they have to worry about defending, with midfielders Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes both rotating to assist Rio Ferdinand to limit Zhen Shaolong.

This restriction works a lot.

Zhen Shaolong just took the ball a few times, and soon he couldn't get the ball, but fortunately, Manchester United couldn't keep suppressing, Newcastle United still played a few waves of counterattacks, and the contribution of other teammates to the attack also increased.

In the 83rd minute, N'Zogbia attacked the left side and dribbled the ball, and the ball was destroyed by Gary Neville.

Corner kick.

Zhen Shaolong walked to his position - the bottom line, the front point.

Most of Newcastle United's corner kicks, Zhen Shaolong will stand in front of the bottom line, one is used to the position of the front point, the front point is also easy to cooperate with teammates, and the other is that other positions are not suitable, without using skills, he is not good at grabbing headers.

Now is the moment of truth.

Zhen Shaolong decided to score!

The game has reached the last moment, there is no point in keeping the skills, there is a chance to quickly use the skills, one more goal is a goal, after standing in position, he towards the free throw of Nzobia, made a one-handed upward gesture, which means 'high ball passes'.

Enzobia nodded cryptically.

Ferdinand has been standing next to Zhen Shaolong, constantly observing Zhen Shaolong, naturally noticing Zhen Shaolong's movements, and immediately became vigilant, he shouted at Rooney, who was on the defensive, "Attention!" Keep an eye on him with me! ”

Rooney immediately walked over.

Ferdinand and Rooney sandwiched Zhen Shaolong in the middle.

N'Zogbia took the ball, the football drew an arc and hoisted to Zhen Shaolong's position, Ferdinand and Rooney cooperated to have a division of labor, Rooney was responsible for squeezing Zhen Shaolong hard, and Ferdinand was responsible for clearing the ball.

He jumped.

Zhen Shaolong also jumped.

Ferdinand stared carefully at the course of the ball, made a calm judgment, and then jumped up hard, according to his judgment, after rising to the highest point, he shook his head just enough to hit the ball.

But......

After reaching the highest point, Ferdinand found something embarrassing: the football had barely flown over, and he had no choice but to force his head to shake his head at the moment his body fell.

This time it only touched the ball with a small force.

Meantime.

Zhen Shaolong also jumped.

He was affected by Rooney's defense, and just jumped up, but relied on the power of the diagonal side, just twisted his body, fell on Rooney's side, and then ran forward two steps with his right leg.

At this time, others noticed that the football had reached the feet of Zhen Shaolong.

"What's going on?"

When Rooney turned his head and saw it, he immediately felt very panicked, but it was too late, Zhen Shaolong ran two steps forward, and directly pushed the shot, the football spun and rolled towards the goal, goalkeeper Van der Sar subconsciously waved his foot, but the ball rushed into the goal from his feet.

"The ball went in ——!"

"Zhen Shaolong! Zhen Shaolong! Third goal! He finished the hat, the hat of Old Trafford! ”

"3 to 4!"

"Zhen Shaolong helped Newcastle regain the lead!"

While the game commentator shouted loudly, most of the fans in the stands around them were silent, they did not expect Manchester United to score two goals in a row, and then Newcastle United and the opponent's No. 13 Zhen Shaolong would complete the goal.

It's just so sad.

on the field.

Ferdinand stood with an embarrassed face, he felt that it was his own mistake, and there would be a misjudgment, and he failed to clear the ball, and the football was grabbed by the opponent?

Now what? Admitting mistakes?

No!

Ferdinand immediately found his explanation, and even convinced himself in a short time, his face became very serious, and he walked up to Rooney and said, "See? Wayne? Just now, we defended together, one after the other, theoretically invulnerable, but he still grabbed it. His technique is simply unreasonable! ”

"Is that so?" Rooney wondered.

"You think it was my mistake? Of course not! Otherwise, how could the football have been robbed by him? ”

Rooney was a little confused, "So what the hell is going on?" ”

"In a short split second, I was affected by him. He knew how to affect me, and even knew that my mistake was just right for the ball to roll at his feet, so he confidently shook you off and ran towards the goal......

"Here's why...... Ahem......"

"The reason is that he first convinced himself that it would happen, and that it might happen as he imagined." Ferdinand said, adding in his heart, 'It's like me, now convince myself'.

"So it's not my mistake, it's all his fault."

"So ......"

"After this game, you have to do a similar exercise, keep convincing yourself that you can score, keep convincing, keep convincing...... This will give you confidence and will also make your shots more accurate! ”
