Chapter 303: On the Field
Ferguson did not start Kaisa and waited on the bench. X
In his opinion, Kaisa is still young, he has played in the European Championship in the summer, has not been given a good rest, and now he needs to gradually adjust. Otherwise, the knees, ankles and other parts are worn out, which is irreversible damage, and he is protecting Kaisa.
But Kaisa doesn't want Ferguson to protect him! He's got a lot of strength in his knees and ankles, and he's got very little damage, so it's better to collect more trophies while the team is strong, which is more important than anything else.
For him to get the ultimate prize of the system, he must get numerous awards. As long as he has the opportunity to win the championship, Kaisa doesn't want to let it go.
Manchester United fielded a starting line-up of 433.
Goalkeeper Van der Sar, Van der Sar is ready to play for another year and retire at the end of the season this year.
The back line was lined up, with Brown, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra. Gary? Neville and Paul Scholes wanted to retire in the off-season, were scolded by Ferguson, and then so far this season, they have not been given a chance to play.
The midfield trio, Mikel partnered Carrick and Fletcher. England were soon home at the Euros, with Carrick and Fletcher fit, and Mikel played in the Olympics but only reached the last eight and was knocked out by Argentina.
Up front, Ryan Giggs, Robin van Persie and Valencia. Wayne Rooney sprained his ankle against Portsmouth and did not travel with the squad to Monaco. David? Silva and Kaisa were both on the bench with innocent expressions. Kai Sa smiled bitterly, "Brother, are you too thin?" In the Premier League, at least the body has to be passable, right? ”
Silva turned into a bitter melon, "I want to too, it's not a matter of a day or two to gain muscle." In the future, I will mix with you, and I will eat whatever you eat. ”
"Eat more fatty meat, it is estimated that you will grow fat ......"
Silva "......"
As for Zenit, they also have a 433 lineup, and they have a considerable threat from the middle, and they must have made a more complete arrangement today.
The starting goalkeeper was Malafeif, who was the main goalkeeper last season and made several saves in the UEFA Cup final to keep the goal intact.
The back line is lined up with Anyukov, Krizanak, Pigrenier and Hill, and the UEFA Cup is such a line-up.
The midfield trio of Zlianov, Demoschuk and Denisov are a midfield line-up that is both offensive and defensive, and the same as the line-up in the UEFA Cup final, if they perform well, the three midfielders of Manchester United will not be intimidated.
The front trident is led by Arshavin and partnered by Danny and Bergrebjak. Danny has just arrived in the summer transfer window, and he has integrated quickly, already opening in the league; Bergrebjak was the top scorer in the UEFA Cup last season, but his form has dropped this season.
The Zenit team also has two masters on the bench, Fajjulin and Dominguez, whose style of play is quite elegant, and they also have the ability to seal their throats with a sword.
Zenit's number one star in the squad is Arshavin, who did well in the summer at the European Championships, attracting the attention of the likes of Arsenal and Arsene Wenger. This guy has a Zhengtai face, and at first glance it is Wenger's dish.
At the start of the game, Manchester United took the lead in attacking. Valencia's cross, Van Persie's failure to meet it, is not much of a threat.
Zenit was well prepared, and as soon as his advance down the middle was blocked, he immediately switched to the wing and ate the space left by Brown's assist. They attacked from the left and the ball was passed through Denisov to the feet of Bergrebyak.
Cutting inside to the middle, Arshavin pulled the side, received the ball, and entered the box under the marking of Brown, where there was space to shoot.
Arshavin was quite decisive and shot straight at goal, but it was disrupted by Rio Ferdinand. Ferdinand is tall and big, but he is very good on his feet and not slow at his feet.
On the Manchester United side, the main side is Valencia, but he forced a few crosses, the quality is not very high, the effect is not good, Malafafev almost no save, quite easy.
Van Persie and Valencia lacked tacit understanding, and the cooperation on the field was a bit awkward, and Giggs was focused on by the opponent, making it difficult to get the ball.
Coming back, Zenit played a wall-to-wall match, and the ball was passed by Arshavin and landed at the feet of Danny, who moved to the side to make room and raised his leg to shoot.
Van der Sar made a sideways save before barely getting the ball away. It is clear that there is a hole in United's backline.
Van Persie received a long pass from Carrick, got up from outside the box, volleyed and went out of the bottom line against the post, but it was a pity, and he also apologized to Carrick in frustration.
Kaisa saw it in his eyes, he was very anxious, there was obviously one less organizer in the frontcourt, as long as he went up, the situation could be changed immediately, and it was a matter of minutes to defeat Zenit.
Ferguson was unmoved, and didn't seem to hear Kaisa's complaints, and the players on the field played on their own. Sure enough, something went wrong, Mikel pushed Arshavin down in front of the penalty area, received a yellow card, and gave the opponent a well-placed set-piece.
Arshavin stood in front of the ball, measured for a long time, and suddenly shot with his right foot, drawing a beautiful arc, the ball went around the human wall, straight to the dead corner!
Van der Sar, despite his three heads and six arms, could not stop the ball from reaching the net, and Manchester United scored a goal.
In the 23rd minute of the first half, the team fell behind 0:1.
Ferguson is still not in a hurry, although he wants to win the game, but the team's form is more important than this game, it is just a warm-up game, he doesn't care.
Kai Sa jumped straight to his feet next to him, Mikel obviously didn't have enough rest in the summer, his physical condition was not good, and his combat power dropped three layers, so he just replaced it.
It's not like he loses a game, he wants to win any game. At this time, after Brown cleared the siege, he sat on the ground, clutching his ankles, and his expression was painful.
It seemed to be twisted, Kaisa immediately stood up, "Boss, change, hurry up and change, I'll go up, it's not a problem to play right back." ”
In Kaisa's design, the UEFA Super Cup is the championship that must be won this year, and only by winning the UEFA Super Cup and then the Club World Cup can Manchester United complete the unprecedented seven crowns.
Alex Ferguson has been choked up by reporters and the team's form lately, and has long forgotten about it. His focus is entirely on the league and the Champions League, and the league is the most important thing before the Champions League group stage has even begun.
"Okay, you're on the field!" Ferguson deliberately pressed Kaisa, waiting for him to explode! Kaisa, like Rooney, wants to play whenever it's a game, and after playing, he wants to win the game.
But the two are different, not to mention leadership. Kaisa said before the game that he could play any position, and he would still become a free man in the end; Wayne Rooney, you just let him play at centre-back, and he stupidly gives you the centre-back position.
Sure enough, the first thing Kaisa did when he came on was to let Valencia drop back, and he was going to take the right winger position.
"Valen, you're behind me, take Brown's position and help protect the defence. The two of us can kill them. ”
Valencia doesn't know why, he doesn't know English, he doesn't understand half-understand, he just plays at right-back, okay, no problem.
Kaisa licked the corners of his mouth, "I think Valencia will be very grateful for my arrangement today in the future." He is a very rubbish right-back at the moment and can compete for the title of No. 1 right-back in the Premier League in the future. ”r
