Chapter 123: Fighting with the Chinese

"We're here to get points and secure our European qualification!"

Bolton have had a good season under Sam Allardyce this season. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After 29 league games, they have won 14 and drawn 5, accumulating 47 points and sitting in fifth place in the table. In sixth place is Everton, with 43 points, and in seventh place is Tottenham, with 40 points, and the gap between the three is not very large, so if you want to qualify for Europe, no team can afford to be negligent.

Everton's home game against Arsenal in this round will be a tough game as Bolton's visit to Old Trafford. However, Everton have another advantage, which is playing at home. Tottenham, on the other hand, is at home against Watford, who have basically been relegated, and it is not difficult to get points, so Bolton must pick up points if they want to open up the gap between Everton and Tottenham.

Although they had not won two games in the league before, Bolton Wanderers' captain Nolan was full of confidence before the game against Manchester United, telling the media: "We are not going to lose all the time, I believe we will be able to get points in this game. As for the game in October, it was a shame for us, and we will wash away our shame with goals and victories in this game! ”

"Cut, don't be afraid to say big things and flash your tongue!"

The United players were unimpressed by what Bolton captain Kevin Nolan said.

After all, they once slaughtered their opponents 5-0 on other people's turf, and in terms of strength comparison, they are much higher than them, and now that they are back to their own turf, will they be afraid of them? Apparently not.

But just 20 seconds into the game, the Bolton players taught the United players a lesson.

After picking the wing, Bolton took the lead in attacking, and after a pass in midfield, Nolan drew the ball laterally in front of Carrick's defense and then slashed it off. O'Shea, who was protecting behind Carrick, lost the tackle and stopped the ball at Anelka's feet. After the ball was broken at the edge of the penalty area, Anelka came directly to a long-range shot, and the ball flew out of the bottom line by grazing the post, shocking the Manchester United people in a cold sweat.

Seeing that O'Shea stopped the ball and stopped directly to Anelka, Ferguson, who was standing on the sidelines, immediately turned blue with a blue face, and scolded there dissatisfied: "Concentrate, you. He. Mother. It's the back waist, not the front waist of the other party! 'He observed the mentality of the players before the game and was a little bit dismissive of Bolton. There is no way, although Bolton is now in fifth place in the standings, the gap with their strength is still quite large, not to mention the players, and he himself did not take Bolton seriously.

But now it seems that Bolton have ambitions for this game.

Is it that simple to pick up points at Old Trafford? Of course not, Ferguson waved his arms and shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Attack, attack!" I don't want to see this again! ”

Manchester United, who was shocked by Anelka's shot, immediately launched an attack, but at this moment, Bolton's players were very excited under the stimulation of the shot, and the defense was very active in place, and it was difficult for Manchester United to find a good opportunity for a while. It wasn't until the 6th minute that Cristiano Ronaldo opened up the situation on the wing. After Ronaldo continued to dribble the ball on the left side to attract the defense, he passed back to assist Heinze, who assisted Giggs with a header from Heinze's cross, and the angle was too positive, which was directly confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper Jascoleneen.

Bolton attack.

Jascolainen drove straight up front, Speed won the ball on the left side of the field, and slammed the ball inward with his right foot, and Gary Neville immediately moved laterally. Speed saw Gary Neville move laterally, and immediately slammed the ball, dodged the gap, and slammed the ball forward. It was at this point that Gary Neville made a sideways block, stuck his position, and chased straight towards the football. After the ball was lost, Speed immediately counter-attacked, and while Gary Neville was still not adjusted, he directly stretched out his foot and shoveled towards the football, and tackled Gary Neville.

There was an immediate boo in Old Trafford.

"Damn it!" Ferguson scolded as he watched Gary Neville make the substitution gesture, and then called Brown on the bench to make substitution adjustments.

The passive substitution adjustment did not affect Manchester United's attacking momentum.

In the 13th minute, Brown made a long pass on the right side, Rooney's header in the penalty area was ferried, and Ronaldo, who was inserted on the side, continuously dribbled the ball to break through the bottom line and crossed with his feet, and King Dong pushed the goal without interference, 1-0.

“goal!”

After the goal, King Dong jumped up excitedly, and after yelling, he rushed directly to the sideline and hugged Ferguson warmly.

If it weren't for the members of the coaching staff rushing to the sidelines to celebrate the goal, it is estimated that Old Man Ferguson might have been pressed by King Dong to the waist.

"Thank you, thank you boss!"

Seeing the growth of King Dong, Ferguson's heart was very happy, "Good job, kid, keep up the good work!" ”

After walking away from Ferguson's side, King Dong glanced at Yu Liang, who was sitting on the bench. In recent days, Yu Liang's training state has been average, although he entered the squad, but he was not able to squeeze into the starting lineup. Seeing that Yu Liang was in a low mood and expressionless there, King Dong sighed. He is looking forward to playing with Yu Liang, but now it seems that he still has to help Yu Liang out of the predicament.

But now the priority is to help the team win the game.

After the goal, Manchester United attacked even more aggressively.

In the 17th minute, after successfully defending an attack, United launched a quick counter-attack.

Carrick passed straight from the back, Rooney made the ball to Ronaldo and inserted it at high speed on the left wing, Ronaldo went all the way to the front of the penalty area and split the ball, Rooney burst into the penalty area and calmly picked up the net in the face of the attacking goalkeeper, Manchester United extended the lead to 2-0.

Amid United's strong attack, Bolton's players finally realised how difficult it is to pick up points at Old Trafford.

Now they can't even penetrate the ground into United's half, so they can only play long balls instead. However, this style of play simply does not bring out the ability of their attacking players in the front court.

"Damn it!"

In the 22nd minute, Nolan had just received a long pass from his teammate in the backfield in the front court, and was knocked down by O'Shea behind him.

However, the foul awarded them a free-kick from more than 30 yards from goal.

It was the closest they had come to goal since Anelka's shot from the opening kick, so can they make the most of it?

A few players with excellent header ability immediately squeezed into the Manchester United penalty area.

After the referee's whistle, Nolan's free-kick was driven into the box, and chaos immediately ensued in the box, and in the confusion, Bolton striker Davies jumped high and shook his head high and smashed over the crossbar.

The free-kick was unsuccessful and Bolton's players began to return to defence. They defended with the front foot and the United attack followed suit.

In order to be able to form an offensive momentum before Bolton's defense is solid, Carrick passed straight to the front of the court, and King Dong jumped high on his forehead and lightly touched his toes to unload the ball, and dribbled with his back to seek a breakthrough.

In the first leg of the match between the two sides, Yu Liang shone and scored a hat-trick of assists to help the team beat them 5-0.

Therefore, before the game, their head coach Allardiste instructed that they should pay attention to Yu Liang's marking during the game. But when the starting list came out, they were dumbfounded, and Yu Liang was gone.

Instead of Carrick, although the two have similar characteristics, Carrick's confrontation ability is better. The one used on Yu Liang didn't work at all on Carrick.

It's also a bit that Sam Allardyce didn't think about King Dong at all when predicting Manchester United's starting XI before the game.

For King Dong, they are still relatively unfamiliar.

The only thing that is known is that Manchester United scored a hat-trick against Reading in the FA Cup.

This is certainly not enough.

That's why when King Dong scored the first goal, there was no one around him to defend.

But the game has been played for more than 20 minutes, and Allardyce will not be stupid enough to let King Dong make a mistake in front of the goal.

As early as after King Dong scored, he immediately called central defender Benhaim to the sidelines to give some advice. Benhaim is a strong, tall and frontal player of the Israeli national team, who was appreciated by Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho as early as last summer and wanted to bring him to Chelsea, but in the end the transfer fee could not be agreed upon, which led to the transfer falling through.

After King Dong unloaded the football, he immediately resisted King Dong and prevented King Dong from turning around.

King Dong, who couldn't complete the turn, flicked the ball horizontally and blocked Benhaim with his arm to dribble horizontally.

In terms of physical fitness and strength, King Dong was not stunned by Benhaim in front of him, and Benhaim couldn't help King Dong for a while. After a brief stalemate between the two, Benhaim's partner Faye flanked him from the flank and tried to unite to break the ball from the feet of King Dong.

Just as Faye rushed up, King Dong leaned his back on Benhaim's body, stabilized his center of gravity, and then slammed the ball towards the penalty area with the instep of his foot, and then immediately turned around and rushed into the penalty area from the other side of Benhaim.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was inserted at high speed from the ribs, caught up with the ball and volleyed directly.

The powerful shot was pounced by Jascolainen and bounced to the middle of the penalty area, at this time, Dong Wang, who was interspersed in place, raised his foot and shot, and the football flew directly into the middle of the goal, 3-0.

King Dong scored twice.

Bolton's players were immediately deflated, and before half an hour came, they were three goals behind, let alone taking points, and they couldn't even see any hope of scoring.

Nolan thought of what he said in an interview with reporters before the game, and only felt that his cheeks were a little hot.

Shame, perhaps nothing more humiliating than this.

Allardyce looked at the somewhat depressed players in the field and scolded angrily: "Damn Chinese boy! ”

In the first leg of the contest between the two sides, he thought that Yu Liang would not appear in the starting line-up, but Yu Liang not only started, but also scored a hat-trick of assists.

What about this game? He thought that Yu Liang would start, and deliberately formulated a lot of tactical preparations to entertain Yu Liang. As a result, Yu Liang sat on the sidelines and played a Chinese striker who he thought was not a threat, and it took less than half an hour for someone to score a brace. Sam Allardyce, who had no hope of picking up points, sighed and sat down on the bench. After the game, he should probably count his fate to see if his fate is against the Chinese, otherwise why are Chinese players messing with him in both games? (To be continued.) )
