169 Second Half
Rafael played a one-two with Robin van Persie to evade Ribeiro's defence before smashing a shot straight into the corner of the box that hit the outside of his foot and curled the ball in a bizarre arc past Checarelli's hand and into the top left corner of the net. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Duan Xuan's voice sounded again: "Rafael, the cold shot after Rafael broke through, he hit a world wave, and the ball went in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's take a look at the slow motion, where Rafael takes a shot with the outside of his instep, which is full of power and arc in an eerie arc, just past Cicarelli's hand and into a theoretical dead end. It was also a brilliant goal. The game really lived up to the Chinese fans who watched the game in the middle of the night, and the first half of the game only lasted more than 20 minutes, and both sides each gave a wonderful goal for the fans. ”
Rafael rushed to the United fans in the stands after scoring the goal, and he gave the most enthusiastic cheers to the Manchester United fans who were cheering for the team away, and his team-mates also ran up to him, knocking him to the ground and playing a game of arhat.
Ferguson also looked very excited, and his nose was even redder. Rafael's goal was a crucial one. If the score remains 1-1, Manchester United will advance to the next round by one away goal.
In this way, Ferguson can make Manchester United play a comfortable defensive counterattack, waiting for the Gosau team to press the attack, Manchester United's counterattack is not a joke, after the Gosau team presses on the back, their holes in the backfield will definitely increase, and then Manchester United's counterattack on the two wings will also be very threatening.
After the Gosho team conceded the goal, Xiao Yang also stood up from the coach's bench, he walked to the side of the field, and yelled at the defenders of the Gosho team, he was really dissatisfied with the defense of the ball just now, it seems that the defenders of the Gosho team have some distractions.
Of course, Rafael's goal also has some luck elements, and if he plays ten more kicks in the same position, he may not be able to score any of them, but this can't cover up the mistakes of the defenders, so Xiao Yang is really a little angry.
Xiao Yang's roar woke up the spirits of the players in Gosau, and they nodded to Xiao Yang, indicating that they would definitely be focused.
After reminding the defenders, Xiao Yang called Avandzini again and taught him that now that Eggman was being guarded by a key bag, don't hit him hard, and that he was caught in the bag, which proves that he has attracted the attention of at least two or three people, which means that the other players in the Gossau team are in an unguarded situation, or they are under less defensive pressure, and they can pass the ball to other players more at this time.
Avandzini nodded and ran to the other Gossau players, bringing Xiao Yang's instructions to them.
Xiao Yang shook his head secretly, Sampedro is still too young and inexperienced, if Ivanovic is on the field now, he must have used his pass to beat Manchester United's defense into flowers.
Of course, it was Ivanovic's absence due to injury that Ferguson dared to use the tactic of containing Egerman, and it also achieved good results.
After Gosau opened the ball in midfield, Manchester United continued to stick to Egerman's tactic. However, Ferguson immediately discovered that Gosau were not obsessed with getting the ball to Egerman's feet right now.
In the 29th minute of the game, Sampedro shifted the ball to Avandini on the left, and after Avandini took the ball to the front, he saw Eggman being targeted by Fletcher and Vidic, he made a pass, and after attracting Cleverley's attention, he suddenly cut inside, at which time Coldinho retreated from the penalty area and took Ferdinand who defended him out of the box, at which time Avandini suddenly sent a through ball into the box.
Just when many fans didn't know who the ball was passed to, Horensten cut in from the right side at high speed and received the pass on the right side of the penalty area. Horensten was about to shoot when Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra, who had been desperately chasing him back, had no choice but to tackle the ball from behind. He made a beautiful tackle, scooping the ball off the line and then taking the unrelented Horensten to the ground.
The two couldn't hold back and collided with De Gea, who attacked. De Gea was miserable, he was kicked on the outside of his right thigh by Evra, and Horensten fell to the ground and pressed on top of him, De Gea immediately hugged his thigh in pain and couldn't get up.
A number of Gossau fans clamored that Patrice Evra's tackle was a foul and that Gossau deserved a penalty. However, referee Herman was not far from the scene of the incident and he was aware of the award of a corner kick to Gosau.
Gosau fans burst into boos in the stands, but after the slow motion of the tackle was shown on the big screen in the stadium, the fans stopped booing, and it was clear in the slow motion that Evra had indeed tackled the ball first, and it should not have been a penalty. However, the fans still gave applause to Avandzini, who delivered this wonderful through-stop.
Ferguson stood up from the dugout the moment Horensten received the ball, he watched the situation nervously, Patrice Evra's successful defence gave him a sigh of relief, but De Gea's fall to the ground made his heart tug again, De Gea must not be injured.
After Van der Sar aged, David De Gea was the only goalkeeper who could reassure Ferguson, and if he were injured it would be a huge loss to United's defence.
By this time, Manchester United's team doctor had already run to De Gea's side with a medical kit to check on him. After a few minutes of treatment, De Gea finally got up from the ground, and after a few jumps on the spot, the team doctor finally confirmed that De Gea was fine. The referee also blew the whistle to signal that the game could be restarted.
Ribeiro went to take a corner and his corner was once again saved by Egerman, but his header was not on the top of the net thanks to the interference of Nemanja Vidic and Fletcher, but it was saved by De Gea.
Although Egerman's header did not pose much of a threat, Ferguson was still furious, and under the focus of Manchester United's defense, he was still able to get Egerman to frequently grab the landing header on goal, which of course made him very unhappy.
In addition, Ferguson also noticed that in the attack that caused the corner, Avandzini did not force the ball to Egerman, but took advantage of Egerman's attraction and passed the ball to Horensten.
If this is Xiao Yang's deliberate arrangement, then Manchester United's defence will be in trouble, Ferguson thought. Egerman is of course the best center forward in world football today, and Ferguson really has no bottom in his heart with one person to defend him, and Egerman's first goal also illustrates this very well, so Ferguson has to use more than two people to contain Egerman, but this will inevitably cause more space in other places.
Therefore, this tactic is also very dangerous, you must know that the other attacking players of the Gossau team are not vegetarians, if they are completely left alone, they will also score, and the attack of Horensten just now was a wake-up call for Ferguson.
After thinking about it for a while, Ferguson called Carrick and asked him to give a message to the Manchester United players on the field, Egerman still had to focus on the defense and insist on the package defense, but the other Gossau players could not be ignored, which required the Manchester United defenders to be motivated and run more.
Carrick listened, nodded, and ran back to the pitch to bring Ferguson's instructions to the other players.
Ferguson is also helpless, this style of play will work well in a short period of time, can effectively curb the offensive of the Gosau team, but after a long time, its disadvantages will be revealed, that is, in terms of physical consumption Manchester United players will definitely be faster than Gossau players.
Due to the fact that both teams have a large point advantage in the league, so both teams have carried out a large rotation in the recent league, and both teams are in good physical condition before this game, but Manchester United's style of play, coupled with the fact that their squad is dominated by veterans, it is conceivable how much of a physical disadvantage Manchester United will have in the second half.
But what can Ferguson do? Gosau has such an absolute strong point as Egerman in the lineup, which can be said to be a bug, Manchester United's two central defenders sound very famous, both are well-known world-class central defenders, but Ferdinand is almost 36 years old, Vidic is almost 33 years old, how can they play against Egerman in his playing years? Defending Egerman with a single man will only be beaten into a sieve by him.
Ferguson is now the lesser of two evils, even if he knows that it is time to drink to quench his thirst, he has to pinch his nose and drink it.
Thinking of this, Ferguson couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, the current Manchester United seems to be very beautiful, but in fact, the team's main squad is aging more seriously, and there are as many as 6 veterans over 30 years old in the starters on the field, and there are very few young players who can provoke the beam. Manchester United's brilliant record in the last two seasons is probably more of a return to the past, and when he retires, these old players have also retired, and I really don't know what Manchester United will do to continue its glory.
Needless to say, Ferguson's tactical adjustment was timely, and Gosau's attack was stopped at once under the running of Manchester United's defenders who spared no effort to run, and Gosau's attack was destroyed several times in a row.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Yang was not surprised, he instructed the players on the field to speed up the offensive tempo, and use a wide range of long pass transfer to mobilize Manchester United's defensive players, which can effectively consume the physical energy of Manchester United players.
In addition, he called in Egerman alone, and he had to use a wide range of runs to mobilize Vidic and Fletcher, if they didn't keep up, Egerman could decide how to attack, and if they did, it would just be a lot of physical drain. If possible, there will be more physical confrontation with them, and I believe that under the high-intensity physical confrontation, the physical strength of these two veterans over 30 years old will be depleted very quickly.
Eggman listened to Xiao Yang's words and nodded, pure physical confrontation with opponents is his favorite and best way of playing, although he is already a well-rounded center, but the primitive physical confrontation is still what he desires.
When Ferguson found out that Gosau had taken the initiative to speed up the attacking tempo, and Egerman frequently sought physical confrontation with Vidic and Fletcher, who were marking him, he was very depressed, and if he continued to play like this, the veterans of the Manchester United team would be dragged down sooner or later; Vidic has been injured frequently in the past two seasons, and Fletcher has just recovered from a serious illness, which also makes him very worried that the two big players will be injured in the physical confrontation with Egerman.
You must know that Egerman's physical fitness is surprisingly good, he is like a beast on the court, he has almost no record of being suspended due to injury since his debut, and his ability to maintain full attendance is also one of the important reasons for his high number of goals. Physically confronting such a player, it will undoubtedly be the two veterans under his command who are at an absolute disadvantage.
However, Ferguson has no good way to prevent Egerman from being able to fight without physical confrontation, and he only hopes that his players can grit their teeth and hold on until the last minute.
In the 35th minute of the game, Eggman suddenly switched positions with Cottinhoe and pulled to the right side, Vidic hesitated a little and did not follow up in time, Eggman received a pass from Horensten at the edge of the penalty area, and stretched out his hands to separate Fletcher who was marking him behind him, Fletcher was nearly ten centimeters shorter than Eggman, and he couldn't reach the ball at Eggman's feet behind Eggman.
Eggman leaned on Fletcher and forced a turn, and with a long leg straddle, he left Fletcher behind, and then he immediately pulled out his foot and fired the ball straight towards the goal. Due to the suddenness of Egerman's turn and shot, De Gea did not react at all, and had time to turn his head to look in the direction of the ball.
I only heard a loud sound of "dang", and the ball smashed heavily on the goalpost, smashing the goal violently. The ball bounced back into the centre of the box and Rio Ferdinand, who was closest to the spot, turned and kicked wide off the touchline.
Vidic felt his heart beating violently as if it had been hit by a ball, he didn't expect that he just hesitated for a moment, didn't keep up with Eggman, and almost scored by him, this person is terrible. He looked at the still shaking doorpost and felt a little palpitating. He sighed in his heart that it was fortunate that there were goalposts to help, otherwise he would have become a sinner for Manchester United.
Egerman felt very sorry, he felt very good about this shot, he thought it would go in, but unfortunately it was not very lucky.
Ferguson started yelling again on the sidelines, telling Vidic to follow Eggman no matter what, no matter where he was. Vidic nodded solemnly, swearing that he would never let Eggman out of his control again.
In the 42nd minute of the game, the Gosho team attacked again, Eggman pulled to the left winger position this time, and Avandzini switched positions with him, Vidic still followed Eggman, Fletcher did not follow Eggman this time, because Rafael was also there, there were two people staring at Eggman, and he also had to keep an eye on Avandzini who switched to the middle.
Eggman first ran in the direction of the baseline, and then suddenly retreated, Vidic and Rafael did not follow for a while, Eggman received a pass from Ribeiro near the corner of the penalty area, just when he turned around and was about to dribble into the box, Vidic arrived, he no longer tried to hit or pull Eggman, he decisively fell directly to the ground and put the tackle, from the side of Eggman directly to the ground.
Referee Herrmann blew a sharp whistle and quickly ran to the scene of the incident, showing Vidic a yellow card and awarding Gossau a free-kick in the corner of the box.
The moment Vidic tackled Eggman, Xiao Yang jumped from the dugout, and the team doctor at Gosau picked up his kit and prepared to rush onto the pitch to treat Eggman. The Gossau fans in the stadium booed Vidic loudly.
Unexpectedly, Eggman got up from the ground as if nothing happened, and when the referee asked him if he could continue the game, Eggman shook his head nonchalantly and said that he was fine. Xiao Yang relieved his heart and said with a smile that this kid is in good health.
To be honest, Vidic's tackle just now was very ferocious, and it was like cutting down a tree to put Egerman to the ground, and other players with less physical fitness were injured nine times out of ten, that is, Egerman, whose physical fitness was too good to be fine.
Of course, no matter how good the physical fitness is, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not be injured under such a high-intensity defense, and Xiao Yang is ready to warn Eggman to reduce the dribbling of the ball, and also pay attention to it when fighting physically to avoid injury. So far in the season, it can be said that Eggman is indispensable to the Gossau team, and Xiao Yang really doesn't want to see him injured.
After the referee confirmed that Egerman could continue the game, Avandzini stepped forward to take the free-kick. He opted for a direct shot that curled around the wall and into the top left corner of the net, where De Gea rose into the air and lifted the ball off the line with one palm.
Then Ribeiro's corner kick was pushed out of danger by Vidic, and this goal also gave Ferguson a long sigh of relief, and finally there was a ball that was not grabbed by Egerman, you must know that every time he saw Egerman's header on goal, Ferguson's heart twitched.
The first half of the game ended quickly in the fast offensive and defensive rhythm of the two teams, and when the referee Herman blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was still 1:1, which was still satisfactory to Ferguson.
After a fifteen-minute break, the two teams changed sides and fought again, with neither side making substitutions in midfield, with Gossau starting the second half.
Egerman knocked the ball to nearby Kaudinho and ran forward, who knocked the ball back to Antunovic, who crossed the ball to Sampedro and then suddenly cut forward, while Gosau's two wings, Horensten and Avanzini, were both cutting in at high speed.
Fletcher hesitated for a moment, not immediately following Egerman, but standing in his original defensive position, because Carrick had to pay attention to Horensten on the right, Antunovic suddenly inserted, he had to stand in the midfield position, otherwise Antunovic would be very threatening if he got the ball on the edge of the box.
Sampedro handed the ball to Avazini with a long diagonal pass, Rafael forced Avanzini, Avandzini suddenly crossed the ball in the high-speed dribble, and handed the ball to Eggman at the front of the penalty area, Eggman only defended by Vidic alone at this time, after receiving the ball, he made a breakthrough to the left, Vidic took a step to the left, but Eggman pulled the ball back to his right side, he shook off a shooting angle, and suddenly pulled his foot and shot angrily, Vidic's center of gravity could not be pulled back for a while, and it was too late for him to fall to the ground and tackle, Only to watch Eggman get to his feet.
Egerman's shot was so powerful that it whistled into the top left corner of the United goal, and De Gea made a save but could not do anything about the powerful, angled shot, and his outstretched right hand was at least half a metre away from the ball before hitting the underside of the crossbar and diving headlong into the net.
Only 15 seconds into the second half of the game, Duan Xuan had not yet entered the state, and after a few seconds of silence, Duan Xuan's voice sounded: "Eggman, Eggman, he scored another wonderful world wave, and he has scored twice in this game." Egerman scored just 15 seconds into the second half, and it was a beautiful blitzkrieg. In slow motion, Gosau's attack was clearly premeditated, as they seized the opportunity of United's unstable opening to score a quick goal to make it 2-1. ”
After Egerman scored, he rushed to the sidelines again to celebrate, and his teammates rushed to the sidelines as well. The tactics were indeed discussed, and Antunovic was consciously and suddenly, and if Fletcher had to fare Egerman, he would have been able to carry out the long-range shot.
Of course, this goal was scored, and the tactical arrangement was really successful, and luck was very important.
Ferguson was once again furious to let Gossau score a goal so easily in the first half of the second half, and he roared from the sidelines to cheer his players up and concentrate and never make such a low-level mistake again.
After Ferguson yelled, he sat back in the dugout, and he already had a hunch that this game would be very difficult to play.
While Ferguson was pondering what to do, there was a cheer from the bench at Manchester United. Ferguson looked intently and saw Wayne Rooney running to the sidelines with his hands outstretched, as if celebrating the goal. Referee Herman also blew the whistle and pointed his right hand to the center circle.
Ferguson looked up at the big screen in the field, which was playing the slow motion of the goal just now, it turned out that after Manchester United kicked off, after a few passes, Van Persie shot a long shot from outside the penalty area, hit Salihovic's body, the ball just bounced back to the feet of Rooney, just now when Van Persie shot, Cecarelli had already made a save, and now he was still on the ground before he had time to stand up, Rooney easily pumped the ball into the empty goal.
