Chapter 32: Rough Reading

Although Yu Liang rarely leaves the country on the court, just like an invisible person, no one dares to ignore his role on the field!

Especially the Reading manager Koppel.

Before Yu Liang came on the field, Manchester United was in a hurry to attack, thunder and rain, and little threat.

And what about after Yu Liang got the organizational power after he came on the field?

United's attack didn't look like it was big enough, but the threat was quite big in every attack.

If this is continued by Manchester United, his team will collapse sooner or later.

In order to change the passivity on the field, Koper is ready to make substitution adjustments.

Just when Koper was pulling the players on the sidelines to tell them to make tactical adjustments, there was an uproar in the stadium. Koper looked into the field and saw Yu Liang's through pass, penetrating their defense, Manchester United's striker Cristiano Ronaldo, successfully countering offside.

"It's a single knife! Yu Liang's direct pass found Chris in the front court, Chris single-handedly! Shot! Gooooooal! Chris, Chris scored, Chris scored, 1-1! Chris helped Manchester United equalise! The two sides are back on the same starting line again! ”

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the goal, celebrated his goal and rushed to the Reading goal to pick up the ball. Cristiano Ronaldo's move shows that Manchester United are not satisfied with such a scoreline.

His actions angered Reading fans.

More than 20,000 fans in the stadium let out a huge boo.

Koper was very angry when he saw Ronaldo's move, and immediately made substitution adjustments, replacing a striker and replacing a defensive player Icelandic Gunasson.

After Gunathan came on the pitch, Reading's defensive intensity immediately increased a lot.

It's not because of how strong Gunathan's defensive ability is, which has brought a qualitative change to the team's defense. It's because the Reading players have become more ferocious in defence.

In the 72nd minute, Yu Liang received a return pass from Scholes in the middle circle, and when he was about to cross to the right side, he was directly put to the ground by the striker who came to force the opponent.

"Ah, uncle!"

Although he hasn't played a lot of games in the Premier League, it's not once or twice that he has been brought to the ground. The experienced Yu Liang, when he fell to the ground, did some protective actions to reduce the probability of his injury, but he still felt some hard pain in his body caused by the collision.

After screaming secretly, Yu Liang got up and rubbed the painful place.

The game continues.

Yu Liang quickly passed the ball to Fletcher on the wing, and Manchester United attacked.

Gary Neville quickly stepped on the edge and threatened down the wing

However, Fletcher, who was advancing with the ball, was unable to get the ball out as he was also brought down by Reading's players.

"Foul, Reading stopped Manchester United's attack with a foul again!"

Although the Reading player received a yellow card, the price was not very high because he delayed Manchester United's attack.

Under Reading's ferocious defence, Manchester United's attacking threat is indeed much smaller.

But it's not without opportunities.

In the 78th minute, Rooney received the ball in front of the field and was brought down from behind by the opposing player, giving the team a set-piece opportunity.

The foul was committed just 27 metres from goal, just within Ronaldo's range.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was standing in front of the foul spot, took a free kick directly at the goal after the run. After the ball went around the human wall, it fell rapidly.

"Elevator ball, perfect for getting around the human wall. Oops, alas, it's high above the beam! ”

After Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kick went over the crossbar, Ferguson made another adjustment, replacing O'Shea and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, retreating his position to the wing to strengthen the attacking ability of the wing! At the same time, he can also play the ability of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's super sub.

After pulling Ronaldo to the side, Yu Liang began to consciously send the ball to the right side to create a breakthrough opportunity for Ronaldo.

In the 81st minute, Yu Liang passed diagonally to the right side in the middle, and Ronaldo in the front court stopped the ball and divided the ball, shook off the opponent's midfielder, and quickly stepped forward with the football. Encountering the opposing defender, Ronaldo made several consecutive cycles, shook off a space, and did not break through directly, but made a direct pass and distributed the ball to Gary Neville, who was on the side.

Neville's side had just caught up with the football when Reading's defenders came out.

A sliding tackle sent the ball out of bounds with a man.

"Foul! Shorey's sliding tackle went straight to Gary Neville. Yellow! Shorey gets a yellow card! But Ferguson didn't seem happy with the referee's decision and roared at the fourth official on the sidelines! ”

"Gary Neville hasn't gotten up yet, and it looks like he's probably injured! It's not good news for Manchester United. ”

An enraged Ferguson returned to the technical zone after spraying the referee and replaced Neville with Brown.

The game resumes with a free-kick from the right side of Manchester United's midfield.

The spot where the opposing player fouls is close to the corner kick is not much different from a corner.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who took the free kick, passed the ball directly to the front point.

Rooney, who was outflanked in place, faced the football with a back. However, because Ronaldo's free kick had a strong spin, after the backlash, the football spun directly to the middle of the penalty area near the penalty spot.

Rio Ferdinand, who had been lying in ambush all along, fired a direct volley into the face of the football.

"Ah, defender's foot! Ferdinand's shot actually flew straight into the stands! ”

Watching the football fly high, Ferdinand in front of the goal clutched his head in annoyance. He had tried his best to hold the shot down, but he didn't expect the ball to fly out.

Frustrated, Ferdinand immediately retreated to defend.

Reading's attack continued to be played from the right, something that United had been prepared for. With Yu Liang's assistance, Scholes successfully broke the ball.

However, Manchester United's counter-attack was not able to get off the ground.

After Scholes broke the ball, he rubbed the outside instep and gave the ball to Yu Liang, who just turned around and faced the direction of the attack, and was about to distribute the ball to Ronaldo on the right side, when South Korean Xue Qixuan knocked it down directly.

Reading again stopped Manchester United's attack with a foul.

Xue Qixuan's foul received a yellow card.

In fact, this Xue Qixuan and Yu Liang still have a relationship.

After becoming famous in the 2002 World Cup, Xue Qixuan began his career abroad. His first stop in Belgium was Royal Antwerp, Belgium. In his first season in Antwerp, Xue scored ten goals, and with his excellent performance in Antwerp, Xue Qixuan joined the Belgian giants Anderlecht.

Maybe Xue Qixuan was because of this, after knocking down Yu Liang, he didn't leave immediately, but stretched out his hand to Yu Liang, wanting to pull Yu Liang up.

However, Yu Liang did not receive the favor of the Koreans.

In Yu Liang's eyes, Koreans are more hateful.

Even the Dragon Boat Festival, which has been inherited in China for thousands of years, can be said to be theirs, and what is even more hateful is that the United Nations actually approved their application for cultural heritage.

It is precisely because of his dislike of Koreans that Yu Liang's relationship with Park Ji-sung in the team is not very good.

Taking advantage of this dead goal, Koper made another substitution.

replaced Xue Qixuan, who had just received a yellow card, and replaced a defensive player. Koper's signal is very obvious, that is, to defend, you must know that the attack of the Reading team in this game basically started from Xue Qixuan, and now that he is replaced, it is necessary to defend the last few minutes.

Although Manchester United pressed all the attacks in the last few minutes, Reading's dense defense and vicious fouls caused all of their attacks to die.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the stadium erupted in cheers. A home draw against giants Manchester United is a holiday worth celebrating for them!

However, the United did not accept the draw, and when interviewed, Ferguson was very angry, ignoring Koper's feelings: "It was an ugly game, they played it to the extreme! (To be continued.) )
