Chapter 32: Owen's "Unwillingness" (I)
"The ball is in! The ball is in!! Owen Owen Owen ...... Michael – Owen! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! ”
'In the 28th minute, Manchester United scored the leading goal as the former England golden boy opened the scoring for the Red Devils!
"A simple pass to create a goal, the combination between Rooney and Owen is a heart-wrenching, one makes the ball, the other shoots, the cooperation between each other is seamless, perfect goal!"
“1:0! Manchester United lead! ”
The commentators at the scene began to scream, and the sudden goal also made Ferguson feel full of surprise. The old Scottish man is a very stable man, and although he will often celebrate exaggeratedly on the field, it was in the most important game, and the Community Shield game was obviously not worthy of Ferguson's euphoria.
But he just started the "flamboyant" celebration, the old man raised his fists, shouted and ran along the sideline yelling, and when he was about to run to the Chelsea coach's box, he seemed to remember something, and quickly ran back.
It seems that Ferguson ran to the wrong place because of excitement, and the stunned expression on his face seems to indicate this, but if you know Ferguson's temperament, you will know that this stubborn Scottish old man is holding back his bad intentions, just to show off in front of Ancelotti.
Ancelotti didn't know if Ferguson was really mistaken, or if he was deliberately disgusting himself, but he was in an extremely bad mood at the moment, especially after Ferguson came to such a flamboyant celebration in front of his eyes, his face was so black that he could compare to the bottom of the pot.
Manchester United's bench was full of laughter.
These veteran players of Manchester United, who have worked with Ferguson for a year or two, are clear about their boss's "flaws must be reported", and they almost didn't laugh when they saw the manager's action.
"Ha, haha! Hahaha! This goal came at a good time, look, how happy the boss is, and then look at the group of people on the other side, ha, their faces are dark......"
Neville clapped his hands and laughed, and Fan Bizhuang also shook his head with a wry smile.
Whether it is Pellegrini or Bosque, or his old acquaintances Enrique and Vilanova, although these coaches have very different personalities, at least they maintain a very good demeanor, and a "maverick" coach like Ferguson, Van Bizhuang has a little new experience, perhaps, Manchester United can continue to emerge a lot of outstanding but "weird" stars, such as Best, Cantona, C. Ronaldo...... Wait, it may be that it was influenced by Alex Ferguson - what kind of manager has what kind of soldiers, and the manager is a person with a lot of character, and it is not surprising that the players have unique personalities.
Of course, one thing that Fan Bizhuang admires is that no matter how maverick or unruly his personality is, Ferguson can always pack up his disciples well, I have to say that this is the ability of the old Scottish man, and it can also be said that his personal charm is very strong.
"What an interesting old man, and what an admirable ...... Instructor! ”
Fan Bizhuang sighed, and suddenly thought that he was not also a guy with a bad temper and character, maybe Ferguson took a fancy to himself at the beginning, in addition to the fact that he did have some potential, maybe, the other party also aroused a competitive spirit, after all, judging from Ferguson's coaching experience, he really likes to train thorns.
And he is obviously an out-and-out thorn in the head......
……
Manchester United's sudden goal was a big blow for Chelsea.
Originally, because of the team's tactical arrangement mistakes, it led to falling into the disadvantage on the field, not counting being pressed and beaten, and now it is even more conceded, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury, especially when Chelsea has resisted Manchester United's offensive before, thinking that the opponent has exhausted its skills and raised hopes, but was stabbed by Manchester United like this, this feeling, it is simply not too sour!
After the resumption of the game, Chelsea were inevitably affected by the goals they conceded and behaved a little muddy on the pitch, which gave Manchester United the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos in the opposition midfield and back, and Manchester United took advantage of the hot iron to strike another onslaught.
One can attack, the other can only be depressed and struggling to support, this original strong dialogue, but on the field, surprisingly showed a one-sided trend, Chelsea was quite a bit beaten and unable to fight back.
In the face of such a situation, Ancelotti has no good way, can only ask the players to strengthen the defense of the midfield in the middle, try to force Manchester United's offensive to the side, in the opponent's offensive is difficult to contain, Ancelotti can only ask the team to defend, at the same time choose the lesser of the two harms, Manchester United's attack is fierce, but the two players on the front line, whether it is Rooney or Owen, the header and the ability to fight for the top are not excellent, so simply let go of the side, let the opponent start the ball from the side, and the middle, is to strictly defend the death, Easily do not let penetration.
Carlo Ancelotti's adjustment was very right, although Manchester United still occupied the initiative on the field, but under Chelsea's deliberate "drive", they got many opportunities to get the ball on the wing, but the effect was not very obvious.
As the clock ticked by, the two teams were on the pitch in an offensive and defensive drill, one attacking vigorously and the other defending boringly, and as the first half of the game drew to a close, United once again created scoring opportunities.
After a few unhurried passes in a row, Ryan Giggs retreated to midfield, Scholes sent the ball over, Wales rushed forward with the ball on the left, and staged a one-stop individual performance as if he was hanging, sprinting and breaking through the side continuously, completely penetrating Chelsea's right side of the defense, and then Giggs did not choose to go directly to the bottom of the cross as before, but suddenly changed the line and cut in, and the momentum was about to go straight into the penalty area.
Chelsea centre-back John Terry reacted quickly and immediately pounced to fill in the position.
However, Ryan Giggs reacted more quickly, and after making a feint, he raised his eyes and followed with his left foot, and the ball was knocked back to the top of the box by his inverted triangle.
It's Owen who shows up there!
Owen was able to swim out of the box when Ryan Giggs was frantically attacking down the left, and with his height, it was difficult to compete with the muscular men of Chelsea in the long box, and he was very clever in swinging around, both in order to have a chance that his team-mates would pass the ball over, and at the same time, if Giggs's cross was unsuccessful, he could also take advantage of the situation to get into a second attack.
Although the new season has not officially started, Owen can feel that he is in good shape in this game, just like the first goal, when Rooney actually has space to shoot with his feet, but he just has a vague feeling that Rooney will pass the ball over.
It's a talent for shooters, and as the saying goes, it's the sense of smell.
As a full-time shooter, you can not be fast enough, you can not break through well, or you can even do a terrible job with the ball, but one thing must be a must, and that is the sense of smell – just like the Italian striker Filippo. Inzaghi, that guy is terrible at everything, but the last stop and the last kick in the goal, is absolutely the best in the world, coupled with a keen sense of smell, Inzaghi is enough to rank among the top strikers in the world.
Owen is also a superstar player, his nose in front of goal is naturally not bad, although his competitive form has gradually declined with age and injury factors, but he still has an instinctive sense as a striker. It's just that sometimes it's not that accurate - that's the difference between being in good form and being in bad form, just like at this moment, there is a voice in Owen's heart telling him to run there, and he runs there.
To follow your instinct is to follow your instincts, and to be a good striker, your intuition will not deceive you.
Sure enough, Owen had just appeared on the line of the penalty area, and Giggs's pass was just right.
Because it was a reverse run, Owen was facing away from the goal, so he used a pull ball to turn around, the football was gently pulled by his right foot, and his body used the force of stepping on the football to complete the turn, the action was chic and fast, Owen completed the turn, and by the way, he also shook the captain of the Blues Frank Lampard to the side.
"Nice pull ball turn!"
Although there are many doubts about the former England golden boy because of age and injuries, this series of smooth pull-ball turning and breakthrough movements at this moment is enough to prove Owen's ability! Michael. Owen, still the sword is not old! His speed is still terrifying! ”
"Owen Owen Owen ...... Michael. Irving! He lifted his foot, was he going to shoot straight at the goal? ”
There were bursts of exclamations from the commentators on the live radio, and on the field, Owen, who was facing the goal, had already raised his foot, and the Brazilian central defender Alex rushed up quickly, jumped up and was about to use his body to block Owen's shot, but he didn't think that it was just a feint, a light bite, Owen avoided Alex and rushed into the penalty area with the ball.
Alex was in mid-air with panic on his face, Terry screaming and rushing back, Frank Lampard chasing after him, and Hilario already on the move......
Owen didn't notice the situation around him, he didn't care about how the defenders reacted, at this moment he was firm in his heart, his steps were brisk and calm, and he quickly dribbled forward, even if Hilario was about to pounce on the front, he didn't slow down, his upper body shook again and again, and his feet were extremely fast to pluck the ball, almost in the blink of an eye, Owen and Hilario staggered!
"It's over! Passed!! ”
"Go to the meeting alone! Michael. Owen didn't choose to shoot directly, he chose to ...... Pass the goalkeeper! ”
"Beautiful! Pretty!! Pretty!!! With a gentle push...... Ball...... Entered! Owen Owen, Owen, Michael. Irving! Brace! Today, he is the brightest star of the stadium! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! ”
The scene once again let out earth-shattering cheers, Owen, who had once again completed the goal, turned around, opened his arms and ran wantonly, behind him, the "23" jersey number, with his running, constantly up and down, is so obvious and bright!
