Chapter 60: Assist Lore 1
"Yu Liang on the field? Didn't he catch a cold? ”
Martin Taylor, who was sitting in the studio at this time, immediately asked the question in his heart when he saw Yu Liang replacing Scholes.
Before the game, he clearly got the news from the reporter in front of him, that is, Yu Liang had a cold and was going to miss the game.
"God, is Ferguson crazy? Let a sick man play! ”
Andy Gray immediately frowned.
He expressed his displeasure with a substitution like Ferguson's.
"As a manager, there's nothing wrong with going for wins, but you shouldn't sacrifice the health of your players! Knowing that Yu Liang had a cold, he replaced Yu Liang, which was irresponsible to Yu Liang! ”
"Hey Andy, you should calm down, maybe things aren't as bad as you think? I believe that Ferguson must have had his reasons for making such a decision! ”
"Of course, for the sake of damn champions and honors!"
Andy Gray was furious.
For Andy Gray's anger, Martin Taylor could only shrug his shoulders helplessly.
Who makes Andy Gray like Yu Liang so much!
After being inspected by the fourth official on the sidelines to check his jersey and spikes, Yu Liang high-fived the substituted Scholes and ran into the stadium.
Although he warmed up for five minutes on the sidelines, Yu Liang still felt a little cold when he took off his training clothes and stepped onto the field.
Yu Liang, who ran into the field, immediately conveyed Ferguson's latest command - attack!
Although Ferguson did not bring all the main players in this game, Ferguson was still dominated by the main players in key positions. Up front is Wayne Rooney, who is joined by super substitute goalscorer Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. On the wings were Cristiano Ronaldo and Fletcher, and Ryan Giggs did not come to Copenhagen with the team.
After Scholes went off, it was O'Shea who partnered Yu Liang in the middle.
There were also big changes at the back from the last game against Bolton.
The centre-backs were partnered by Nemanja Vidic and Silvestre, with Brown and Heinze on either side.
Before Yu Liang came on the pitch, Ferguson had already made two substitutions.
Ferdinand replaced Brown with Rio Ferdinand, who had returned from injury, and moved Silvester to right wing-back. Heinze was replaced with Patrice Evra at the same time, hoping that the two French defenders could provide support up front.
Yu Liang's main purpose on the field is to organize the team's attack.
However, after he came on the pitch, the first time he touched the ball, he was directly knocked to the ground by the Copenhagen player.
Apparently the Copenhagen manager studied the Manchester United game against Bolton.
They know how important Yu Liang is to Manchester United.
Otherwise, why did Ferguson replace Yu Liang with a cold as soon as the team fell behind?
"Are you alright?"
Yu Liang has a cold, and all the players of Manchester United know it.
Originally, Yu Liang's popularity in the team was good, coupled with the previous big drink, plus three assists against Bolton, Yu Liang's status in the Manchester United team has quietly changed.
From Ferguson's substitution, you can see Yu Liang's status in the old man's mind.
O'Shea saw that Yu Liang was knocked down, and ran over as soon as possible.
pushed away the foul Copenhagen player, and then asked Yu Liang who was lying on the ground with concern.
"It's okay! It's okay! ”
Yu Liang has been hit no less often than anyone else, and in his Premier League debut, he was brutally defended by Michael Brown. Copenhagen's collision, Yu Liang really didn't take it seriously.
After getting up, Yu Liang stood in front of the foul site, obviously he wanted to take the free kick in the backcourt himself.
After the referee warned the Copenhagen players, the game continued.
The position where the Copenhagen player fouled was at the back of the center circle, more than 70 meters from the goal, and it was basically impossible to shoot on goal.
Although the goalkeeper in Copenhagen stood relatively far back, Yu Liang did not mean to shoot directly.
When the referee warned the opposing player, Yu Liang waved his hand to signal his teammates to press forward.
So at this time, apart from him, there are only Ferdinand and Brown in the backfield.
Manchester United's formation pressed forward, making the Copenhagen half look very crowded. Because after scoring a goal, Copenhagen's strategy is to hold on, after all, there is not much time left.
In a crowded half, the players have less space to move, so there are higher requirements for the passer's footwork.
Now one goal down, there's not much time left.
So Yu Liang's free kick went directly to the opponent's penalty area, trying to find Rooney.
Even though Rooney is physically strong, it is difficult to get a chance under the bag of the opposing two defenders. What's more, Yu Liang's pass was not able to be controlled well, it was too high, and he was directly attacked by the goalkeeper who was standing relatively high in front of the opponent.
Seeing that the pass was hit by the opponent's goalkeeper, Yu Liang shook his hand with some annoyance.
Time is running out.
Although Copenhagen wanted to kill the game directly in the next city through counterattacks, they really didn't get any chance in front of Manchester United, who was in a hurry.
Just after passing half-time, he was intercepted by O'Shea.
After O'Shea blocked the opponent's attack, he immediately handed the ball to Yu Liang.
At the same time as O'Shea stopped the opposition's attack, the Manchester United frontcourt players immediately began to intersperse runs, hoping to find gaps, and then received a pass from Yu Liang to create a chance to shoot.
Rooney, who was at the front, retreated, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Cristiano Ronaldo went straight from the two ribs to the penalty area.
Because Rooney's drop back tugged at the Copenhagen defence, there was a small gap in the edge of their box.
After seeing this gap, Yu Liang directly picked up his right foot.
Although Copenhagen retreated from defense, it did not let Yu Liang's defense go.
When Yu Liang picked up his right foot and was about to pass, their No. 4 player Norrigard rushed directly towards Yu Liang. The experienced Norrigad did not commit a direct foul, but jumped up with his back to block Yu Liang's passing route.
Yu Liang, who didn't have time to close his feet, made a pass directly on Norrigad's back and bounced to the backcourt. After Ferdinand got the ball, he immediately knocked it back to Yu Liang, hoping to continue to organize the attack.
Just after Yu Liang turned around, when he was about to pass, the referee directly blew the game to stop.
Motioning to Norrigad, who was lying on the ground.
Norrigad, who was smothered by Yu Liang's foot, fell directly to the ground and groaned.
Yu Liang knew that his pass was powerful, but he wouldn't be able to get up from lying on the ground.
But now that the referee has stopped the game, what can he do?
I can only stand in the cold wind and wait.
After the team doctor in Copenhagen came up to check on him, he motioned for a stretcher to come in. But at this time, Norrigad was like eating a resurrection pill, and slowly turned over there, signaling that he didn't need to.
The stretcher group that ran into the field, after coming to confirm, slowly ran off the field again.
A little time had already been wasted, and the referee couldn't afford to let them waste it.
So he urged the team doctor to take Norrigad to the sidelines for treatment.
It was at this time that Norrigard stood up with the help of his teammates, and after walking a few laps around the field, he said that he was fine.
After confirming that Norrigad was fine, the referee sent the team doctor out of the field and the game resumed.
Manchester United started organising their attacks again at the back.
When Yu Liang came on the court, there were only 12 minutes left in the game. After two rounds of attacking, and with Norrigad wasting time just now, it was only 4 or 5 minutes before the end of regular time. With stoppage time, it's only 7 or 8 minutes at most, and you can imagine how difficult it is to crack the turtle shell of Copenhagen in such a short time.
It was at this time that the Copenhagen team used the foul tactic.
When Yu Liang just crossed the halfway line with the ball, he was directly brutally knocked to the ground by the opposing player.
"Uncle's!"
After scolding resentfully, Yu Liang quickly got up and saw that the referee did not show a yellow card, so he immediately passed the ball to nearby O'Shea and quickly organized an attack. What they lack now is time, and not a second can be wasted.
O'Shea knocked Yu Liang back immediately after winning the ball.
A wall-to-wall coordination deflects around the opposing defender.
At this time, Ronaldo ran out of a small gap on the right side, and just when Yu Liang was about to pass the ball, he was once again put to the ground by the opposing player. (To be continued.) )
