Chapter 106: Breaking the Record of Explosion (I)
A crisis and conflict were gently uncovered when the referee raised a hand to each side.
For such a penalty, Manchester United players are somewhat disappointed, although they also want to get the opponent at the beginning of the game, but the penalty has been decided, the referee is the boss on the field, what he said, even if the players are unhappy, they can only pinch their noses and admit it.
On Manchester City's side, except for Tevez, who still seemed indignant and called "wronged", the rest of the players accepted the result calmly, and even felt relieved, Fan Bizhuang's "fishing" was indeed shameless, but Tevez really pushed the other party, the consequences of such a move can be light or heavy, everything depends on how the referee decides. Fortunately, the result was good, although he received a yellow card, but at least it did not make the team face the dilemma of attrition at the beginning.
The game restarted and the turmoil passed quickly, but it was clear that there was a touch of heat and restlessness to the atmosphere of the game.
The referee played a penalty of fifty boards on both sides, which temporarily calmed the mood of the players of the two teams, but the maintenance time was only a few minutes, and soon, the actions of the two teams naturally became rude, in the derby, civilization and gentlemen never appeared, between the sworn enemies of the same city, there is only one process and result, that is, fighting each other until one of them is knocked to the ground.
In the thirteenth minute, when Kaka was about to dunk the ball in front, he was killed by Manchester City defender Gareth. Barry fell to the ground and the England midfielder was given a verbal warning by the referee.
But it was clear that Barry wasn't holding back, and two minutes later he paid the price for a yellow card when he kicked Carrick to the ground in defence.
In the 21st minute, Manchester City's left wing-back, Serbian full-back Kolarov, also received a yellow card for pulling down Van Bizhuang, who had already thrown off half of his body, from behind.
Also booked was German centre-back Boateng, who burst out of the box in the 24th minute to fill in for his team-mates and rudely knocked Kaka to the ground.
Only halfway through the first half, Manchester City had four players with yellow cards, and there are already so many players who have won cards, and there are countless players who have not won cards but have not made a lot of moves, which shows that Manchester City's defense of Manchester United players is not merciless at all.
Among them, Fan Bizhuang personally created two yellow cards and one card, and the "power" of these two most unpopular players in Manchester City was fully demonstrated.
However, Manchester United's side did not take advantage of much, and the team's two central defenders, Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, also received a yellow card each for malicious aggression.
It seems that the number of cards is less than half that of the opponent, and it is a big advantage, but the problem is that Ferdinand and Vidic are the backbone of the team, and the defenders are no more than other positions, and both central defenders have yellow cards, which is bound to make them shrink when defending.
Only a quarter of the way into the game, six yellow cards were issued on the pitch, and the referee became the busiest man on the pitch, and the non-stop blowing of the whistle was enough to prove the intensity and chaos of the game.
It is precisely because the rhythm of the game is constantly interrupted that although the two teams are fighting fiercely on the field, there are not many threatening attacks, and as for the goal, it seems that it is even more far away. Both teams completely turned this match into a full-blown wrestling tournament.
The commentators from various TV stations on the commentary bench have long been accustomed to this scene, the Manchester derby has always been so hot, in their impression, if the match between Manchester United and Manchester City will go on smoothly one day, it will be really strange!
Although there were no goals, the game scene was not boring at all, the football game was very exciting, but the wrestling match was obviously not inferior at all, but the commentators' commentators were somewhat different from the past-
"Oooh, Van, Fan is sprinting with the ball at high speed...... Zabaleta made a nice savage charge and Van fell to the ground...... Oooo Is this in the game? Damn, how did I get the game's commentary lines? ”
'Neville was fast, I bet I've never seen Neville burst out at such incredible speed, he's running, he's sprinting and then ...... Neville managed to get himself a stern warning from Mr. Referee, and the Manchester United captain knocked Bosnia-Herzegovina striker Dzeko over! ”
"Carrick and Vieira are facing each other...... The two of them had a fierce confrontation, and no one could help anyone...... It was a surprising scene, we all knew that the former Arsenal captain and Manchester United were old rivals, but he controlled his emotions very well and that's why we were disappointed, we thought his temper was going to ignite quickly......
The commentators of the commentators had a hint of ridicule, the game was indeed intense, but it had nothing to do with the goal, they could only use this way of shouting excitedly to highlight the extraordinary excitement of the game.
There was also a serious commentator shaking his head and sighing: "The game was chaotic, and both sides seemed to be focused on how to knock the opponent down, and for the game itself...... In fact, many neutral fans are full of anticipation for this game, we all know that in the past games, Van has scored in ten consecutive Premier League games, he has equaled the record of ten consecutive games held by his predecessor Ruud van Nistelrooy, if he can score again in this game, then he will set a new and remarkable record, in a way, he will become the first person to score in the Premier League! ”
"But unfortunately, this kind of game really doesn't give people the slightest hope of scoring goals. Perhaps Fan's record, like his predecessors, is fixed on the number of ten. Of course, the game is not over yet, everything can happen, let's keep watching, maybe there will be surprises? ”
The commentator's tone is full of complexity, expectation, and loss, expectation, as a neutral football commentator, he really wants to see a new record produced, and the disappointment is that, in his professional eyes for many years, this kind of messy game, whether there can be a goal can be born, everything depends on luck, and even if a goal is generated, whether the scorer will be Fan Bizhuang, this is also a question.
In short, as he expressed, everything depends on "providence".
The chaos on the pitch did not stop, the two teams fought fiercely against each other on the field, and the rhythm of the game was always unable to return to the right track, whether it was attack or defense, it seemed to be intermittent.
The referee is still the busiest person on the field, his whistle is still ringing, in order to stabilize the mood of the players on both sides, he sent two yellow cards one after another, one to Carrick and one to Silva, but obviously the effect is not ideal, Manchester City and Manchester United are still going their own way, playing inextricably on the field.
As the most booed Fan Bizhuang and Kaka on the field, the two players have performed very average so far, not that they are not hard enough and positive, in fact, both have experienced strong winds and waves with big hearts, external factors will not have much impact on them, but the problem is that the court is chaotic, the offensive rhythm can not be carried out normally, although the two are very hard, but from time to time they are violated, the offense has never been able to make an effective breakthrough.
Especially Fan Bizhuang, as the most threatening player in the Manchester United team, and at the same time the first card of Manchester United, he is naturally more cared for, there are defensive players to follow anytime and anywhere, the French defender Vieira is his exclusive "bodyguard", where he runs, the French will follow, this is not enough, as long as he makes a move, there will be other Manchester City players who are close to the custody to rush over and close Vieira.
Wrapping between the front and back, the small movements of his hands and feet continued, Fan Bizhuang was the most tightly defended, and the opponent continued to compress his activity space, which greatly limited his play.
As the world's top midfielder, Vieira is indeed very strong in defense, although Fan Bizhuang can use the advantage of fast movement and speed at his feet, and continue to make successful breakthroughs, but the experienced Vieira can always follow up quickly, and make predictions in advance, or jam his position, or block his passing (shooting) route, which makes Fan Bizhuang's offensive power greatly reduced.
Of course, Vieira is obviously not easy, Fan Bizhuang's successive rapid breakthroughs, so that the French veterans are a little powerless, if it were not for his teammates often come up to help, plus at the cost of fouls, I am afraid that his end would have been blown up.
The game was stalemate in such a fierce confrontation, and the time was passing quickly.
Seeing that the first half passed forty minutes, the first half seemed to end in a draw, and the "surprise" came at this moment.
Fan Bizhuang started the acceleration action of two consecutive stops on the wing, barely shook off Vieira, found space to shoot, and then got up directly, and the football rushed vigorously to the far end of the goal, but Manchester City's veteran goalkeeper Given's reaction was timely, and a fish jumped to lift the ball off the crossbar with his hand.
United were awarded a corner and it was that chance that gave United a hard-fought first-half lead.
In modern football, corner kicks are an extremely important means of scoring, and a variety of corner kick tactics are also emerging.
In this game, Manchester United also got a few corner kick opportunities, but they did not get too good results, and this time, Manchester United changed their thinking, did not hoist the ball directly into the long penalty area, Scholes took a corner kick, but the landing point of the football is not the penalty area, the football flew high and fast straight to the outside of the penalty area, in the back position of the arc of the penalty area, and fell quickly.
And Fan Bizhuang had already run in place, the football fell rapidly, and Fan Bizhuang was running to meet the ball with a burst shot!
The soccer ball, which was whistling with great force, changed its direction and rushed forward quickly in the direction of the goal!
