Chapter 154: Ferguson Time
“EMMMMMM.......”
Rentkinson wanted to praise Antoine Griezmann's beautiful shot and then comment on Ben Foster's save, but now Ben Foster suddenly came up with such a hand....
The Manchester United fans in the stands were dumbfounded.
Such a mistake by the goalkeeper led to a conceded goal.... It's so demoralizing!
"Damn it!"
Ferguson was furious, he ran to the sidelines, and if it wasn't for the only remaining reason telling him that he couldn't rush into the field, he would probably have run in front of Ben Foster and erupted in anger...
Ferdinand stared at Ben Foster, but fortunately Ferdinand also knew that now was not the time to blame his teammates, so he still held back his anger.
Ben Foster was in a half-crouch position ready to pounce, but the ball was already spinning in the net behind him......
"What a surprising result.... Ben Foster was fully prepared to make the save, but he made a mistake that was so fatal that Luton equalised and there are still a few minutes left in regulation time..."
"There is no extra-time in the Community Shield, and if the two sides are tied in regulation time, it will go straight to a penalty shoot-out!! Lightkinson said.
"Do you want Luton to win another trophy against a Premier League giant?"
Not to mention that Lightkinson couldn't believe it, even many fans in Luton couldn't believe it.
"Is this true?"
Many Luton fans asked themselves from the stands. The surprises that have continued from last season to the present have not subsided, and now the team looks likely to draw with Manchester United in the first game of the season!
Such an achievement is really ...... Some are too much to believe.
.....
Until the game resumed, the TV screen was still replaying the goal from all angles.
And before switching to the game footage, the broadcaster also gave a close-up of the frustrated Ben Foster, and then immediately found Van der Sar in the stands.
Van der Sar, who suffered a thigh injury, could only sit in the stands and watch the game. And the language of the camera is also very clear, if it was Van der Sar who was guarding the goal for Manchester United at this time, I am afraid that this goal would not exist...
But there is never an answer to such hypotheticals, and who can be sure that Van der Sar will not make a mistake?
With the resumption of the game, Ferguson was ready to use his third substitution.
Michael Owen stood on the sidelines!
The boy chasing the wind no longer has the speed of the past, but now the more mature Owen is afraid that all teams dare not underestimate him.
A serious cruciate ligament injury at the World Cup in Germany left Owen recuperating for most of the year, and then he lost his speed. During his time at Newcastle, Owen was also injured, first ruptured the fifth bone in his right foot, and after finally recuperating from the injury, he suffered a fracture in the same position, and the tear of the cruciate ligament made him miss almost the entire 2006-2007 season, and then Owen also suffered another major injury in the 2008-2009 season - this time a torn ankle ligament.
Therefore, when Owen joined Manchester United as a free agent, in addition to the verbal criticism of Liverpool fans, more media were questioning, is Owen still good?
And at this time, Owen is standing on the sidelines, and he is about to play!
"This is Owen's first competitive game for Manchester United!!" Speaking in the stands, Lightkinson said: "Michael Owen's choice to join Manchester United is a very risky and controversial move. ”
The reason why Letkinson is controversial is because as a former Liverpool player, he chose to join Manchester United, which in itself will make many fans unhappy.
As bitter rivals, Manchester United and Liverpool have not had a direct player deal for 45 years.
The last time a player transfer took place between two teams was in 1964, when Manchester United's Phil Murphy was the last time he made a transfer. Chisner moved to Liverpool from Manchester United for £25,000.
However, Owen did not move directly from Liverpool to Manchester United, first to Real Madrid, then to Newcastle for four seasons before arriving at Manchester United, so he did not break the record of more than 40 years without a direct player deal between Manchester United and Liverpool.
"Owen is playing! It looks like Ferguson is ready to use the last substitution spot in attack! ”
Ferguson really intends to continue the onslaught at the last minute! It was an unacceptable thing for Ferguson to be dragged into a penalty shoot-out by Luton!!
Irving comes on for Nani.
For Ferguson to replace the former Mr. Golden Ball, Gao Bo still attaches great importance to it.
Although Owen has suffered many injuries, his strength is there!
Gao Bo first looked at Manchester United's position, Owen replaced you, so now Manchester United has become a 433 formation, Rooney retreats to play on the left side of the midfield, and Valencia is pushed to the front, as a right winger, Welbeck plays on the left, Owen is set at the front.
United's forward set-up has changed several times in this game. This fully shows that Luton's defense is still very successful, otherwise Ferguson would not have been frequent in the front line.
"Saul !!"
Gao Bo shouted from the sidelines!
Saul Campbell nodded at Gao Bo, he knew what Gao Bo meant.
Irving is a court goblin, and so is Saul Campbell.
The old demon complements the old demon!
After Owen came on the field, Manchester United's offensive was indeed more ferocious.
In the 88th minute of the game, Rooney won the ball on the left side and made a collision with Welbeck, and then shot from the edge of the penalty area!
The ball arced and flew towards the goal!
At this time, Schmeichel was already ready, he moved a few steps quickly, and then jumped high, lightly stretched his arms, and pulled the ball out of the bottom line!
When the game came to this point, Manchester United naturally pressed the attack across the board.
But Luton Town are not without chances to fight back.
Schmeichel did a good job of defending high from the corner and quickly burst out of the net to pick it up over Welbeck's head.
After that, Schmeichel threw the ball directly and launched a counterattack!!
"Griezmann!!"
Antoine Griezmann is here again!!
The Frenchman only felt that his speed was much faster out of thin air, he was carrying the ball forward at high speed, his head was still moving left and right, he was looking for space to pass the ball.
"Be careful!!!!
The Luton fans in the stands exclaimed, and Gao Bo was also shocked to his feet.
When Griezmann heard this, he instinctively jumped to his feet, and was directly carried to the ground by Vidic, who came from the flying shovel.
"Don't try to play tricks! Brat!! ”
Vidic looked very fierce, he threw a harsh word at Griezmann who fell to the ground, then ignored the yellow card from the referee and turned away.
Vardy, the nearest one, hurried up.
"Are you alright?"
Griezmann shook his head.
"I jumped up.."
Vardy breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the captain of the team had already gone to the referee to protest, and Gao Bo on the sidelines was also jumping to his feet.
"Damn!! It's a red card move!! Red!!! ”
Gao Bo roared.
He's really worried that Griezmann will be tackled!
Antoine Griezmann's place in his tactical system for the new season is very important, he is the core player up front!
Fortunately, he was relieved when he saw Griezmann get up from the ground, looking like nothing was wrong.
"Joseph !!"
Gao Bo shouted at the bench.
Joseph Endel hurried over, and during this time, all the players on the bench were rushed to warm up, so he didn't have to warm up on the fly.
"You'll play later!! Take care to protect Anthony!! ”
Gao Bo explained.
Joseph nodded beside him, he knew what he was going up for.
Joseph Ander is one hundred and eighty-eight centimeters tall and has a very strong body, which is the type that is not easy to mess with.
The reason why Gao Bo promoted Joseph from the reserve team is that he values Joseph's strong body and his aggressiveness in the game!
His aggressiveness has reached this attribute... 90!! This guy must be a big card player on the field...
In other spiritual attributes, Joseph's performance is also good, and he can basically reach more than eighty. In terms of technical attributes, Joseph's performance is not so good, but compared to the rest of the academy players, his technical rating is also okay. At least it's okay to be a substitute player on the field.
There are also benefits to having a big card.
Joseph replaces Hassan Ali.
Sure enough, Joseph received a yellow card less than a minute into the game.
Luton counter-attacked again and Antoine Griezmann was ready to burst forward with the ball, only to be met by Ferdinand, ready to continue his ferocious interception.
But Joseph rushed straight up, he didn't go for the ball, he came for Ferdinand. The two men fell to the ground after colliding.
Joseph's movements caused a clash between players from both sides, allowing the ninety minutes of the game to pass quickly.
Three minutes of stoppage time!
When Joseph was booked by the referee, the stoppage time on the sidelines was already out.
There are still three minutes left in this game!
United's players couldn't afford to entangle with Luton's players, and they soon launched a new attack.
Carrick's shot flew over the crossbar before Gobo made a second substitution.
Now the substitution is actually just dragging out time.
Karl Jenkinson stood on the sidelines and he replaced right-back Mitchell Piran!
The substitution delayed stoppage time by a minute.
It's the ninety-second minute of the game!
When Luton Town made a substitution, United were on the attack.
Park Ji-sung was about to transfer after taking the ball, but Joseph came up and was fouled again!
"That kid should be punished!!"
Ferguson on the sidelines was furious.
This guy didn't come to play football after he came up, he was all for people!
Joseph didn't care so much, the referee didn't mean to take out the cards, he stood still, and let Manchester United's plan to start quickly fail.
Ninety-three minutes into the game.
At this point, the referee could blow the whistle at the end of the game at any moment.
Ferguson rushed to the sidelines, he raised his right hand and pointed to his wrist.
"Haha! Ferguson time is here again!! ”
Lightkinson quipped.
The attacking frenzies of the Manchester United players on the pitch were even more frenzied, as if at this time, they had received some special improvement.
In fact, United always score at times like these!
United's attacks went on one after another, and the Luton fans in the stands booed sharply.
"Hey!! The game is over!! ”
Gao Bo yelled at the referee on the sidelines.
"How long are you going to make up time!!?"
However, the referee ignored it and United's attack continued.
This time, though, Ferguson's time didn't work.
With Wayne Rooney's shot from the edge of the area being held in Schmeichel's arms, the referee hesitated and finally blew the whistle for the end of the game.
And by this time it was already the ninety-sixth minute of the game.
Three minutes of stoppage time were six minutes to make......
It's no wonder that Gao Bo scolded his mother on the sidelines.
