Chapter 289: The Man Who Conquered Old Trafford
What happened in the mysterious dressing room at Old Trafford during the fifteen minutes of the break, no one knows!
5 minutes into the second half!
“…… goooooooooooooooooal!!! "Mike Donald is crazy, he's been waiting for this opportunity for too long!
“…… Ryan Giggs! Whew, God! Incredible!! He played with the entire Newcastle backline by himself! Duff, Alan Smith, Jose Enrique...... All Newcastle have that he can't !! Haha, Maniac Lee limited Cristiano Ronaldo with Joey Barton and Tevez with Steven Taylor...... But it ignored the veteran Ryan Giggs, a fatal mistake......"
“…… It was a solo show by Welsh Magic Wing!! After a strong burst down the left, a curling shot from the edge of the box found the back of the net with the handle of Given...... 1:2!! Manchester United pulled a goal back! The Sleeping Giant has woken up......"
“…… Haha, before the game, all eyes were on C-Ronaldo, and Manchester United fans believe in Old Trafford's new darling...... But don't forget, Ryan Giggs was also a wide angel for the Red Devils, and after C-Ronaldo was restrained by the tactics of Crazy Lee, the long-lost fighter reappeared, and he dealt the fatal blow to the Carried away Newcastle Man......"
Like a cannon filled with infinite gunpowder, Mike Donald grabbed the microphone on the table and shouted wildly!
You must know that being completely suppressed by the opponent Sester in the first half for 45 minutes almost made the new BBC radio commentator collapse!
Well, now Giggs' goal came too crucially!
Mike Donald finally found his chance to fight back!
Grinning as Sester was nervous, disappointed and agitated after Giggs' goal...... Because of the mixture of expressions that caused his face to turn red, Mike Donald simply had a feeling of fluttering and ascending to the immortal!
…… 65th minute of the game!
“…… GiggsGiggsGiggsGiggs!! Or Giggs!! Goal again!! ”
“…… Steven Taylor brought down Carlos Tevez near the arc of the box to provide United with a well-placed set-piece and the Welshman lived up to the fans' hopes!! A curling ball once again pierced Newcastle goalkeeper Given's ten fingers!! Wow, Wow, United equalised, which was a huge blow to the Magpies aiming to break into the top seven in the league! ”
“…… Yes, Juan Mata's performance in the game was surprising, but for Manchester United to lose a young player who hasn't proven himself at Old Trafford! Juan Mata is too tender compared to Angel Wings Ryan Giggs, and the Spanish teenager lacks decisive and lethal surnames in the game......"
“…… That's right, as the best young manager on the planet, he has almost unleashed 2,340 per cent of Newcastle's potential in just over a month...... In today's game, Crazy Lee almost played his role as a coach to the extreme, but don't forget, the football game is not the head coach's final say! Even if C-Ronaldo is frozen, even if the unexpected 3-1-3-3 gives Manchester United two heavy blows, the gap in the overall strength of the team is doomed to the end of the Magpies' winning streak!! ““…… Oh yes, I almost forgot, and at the same time terminated the myth of the total victory of the madman Lee, which is unfortunate!! Who made him choose Newcastle over Inter Milan or Barcelona!! Ha ha! ”
A narrator who gloates and even has a bit of malicious slander!
Of course, it's the almost rampage "machine gun" Mike Donald from the "**"!
The old Welsh demon Ryan Giggs once again gave the famous [Li Hei] a chance to go berserk! This BBC celebrity really can't wait to jump into the arena and hug Giggs and give her kiss!
It's amazing!
At this moment, [Ying Annihilation] Sester had no choice but to choose to be silent when the opponent was celebrating!
…… 2:2!
Flat!
Less than 20 minutes into the second half, Manchester United relied on the sudden outburst of veteran Ryan Ryan Ryan Giggs to destroy the lead created by the madman Li Xin's hard work, change of formation and substitution, and use all means to create it!
At least that's what it looks like on the surface now!
Amid the thunderous cheers of more than 50,000 Manchester United fans at Old Trafford, Lee quickly replaced Ireland's fast motor with James Milner!
Both of United's goals came by switching the heart of the team's attack!
In the first half, the Red Devils continued their usual tactics this season, always with C-Ronaldo as the core of the attack, but Joey Barton's heroic play in this game completely limited the role of the Portuguese winger, which was the direct cause of Manchester United's passivity in the first half!
And at halftime, the old and slippery Ferguson obviously noticed this!
Although Ferguson is also very puzzled by the fact that Joey Barton, a guy whose brain is sometimes lacking in the state of strings, has managed to limit his henchmen, it is not uncommon for certain players to suddenly become invincible in a certain game, the most typical example is the feat of Italian goalkeeper Toldo in the 2000 European Championships who miraculously saved four penalties from the Netherlands in a game...... You must know that in the game before the "miracle", Toldo was just a substitute for Buffon, and he actually completed something that even Buffon couldn't do! So much so that he himself has since been rarely called "Santoldo" by Italian fans!
Maybe Joey Barton's play in this game belongs to the "people are crazy" surname like Toldo!
However, this wonder does not stop Ferguson from quickly adjusting Manchester United's tactical system, since you crazy Lee has limited C-Ronaldo, press me to replace someone to take on the core!
To some extent, the outbursts of the players are usually inseparable from the manager's tactical arrangement! When the whole team is working for you alone, your luck comes!
And so there was a sudden outburst of Giggs!
And now, what Li Tongfan has to do is to freeze Giggs once again!
The method adopted by Lao Li is still very old-fashioned, and the people are marking and defending savagely!
The exchange of Dafu is precisely for this tactical need! You must know that Ireland's fast motor has a very strong offensive ability, but the defense is a little weaker, and after more than 60 minutes of fighting, his physical strength has also decreased a lot, so Lao Li decisively replaced James Milner, who is more balanced in attack and defense! Newcastle's main task after the newcomer King came on the pitch was not to strengthen the Magpies' attack, but to keep Giggs on the spot!
As for the offense?
Isn't there another guy named Juan Mata?
…… The game continues!
After James Milner came on the pitch, he followed the Welsh old demon step by step according to Li Tongfan's tactical requirements, and Giggs was quickly invisible on the field! This situation directly led to Manchester United's offensive becoming weak for a while! And at this time, the Newcastle people began to recover after the initial panic and took the opportunity to launch a tidal offensive!
There's no reason why the Owen shouldn't be desperate!
If you lose or draw this match, it is possible that the previous winning streak will be all useless! Only a head-on defeat of Manchester United can reserve the Magpies' chance to appear in Europe next season!
When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, fight!
…… On the field!
At the deliberate request of Li Tongfan, Juan Mata has undoubtedly become the attacking core of Newcastle on the field, and even Alan Smith in the forward position has become the foil of the Spanish fast horse!
And soon, the Spanish Fast Horse repaid the trust of the "teacher" Li Tongfan with his outstanding performance!
“…… Newcastle turned the tide!! Crazy Lee's substitution quickly limited Giggs and Juan Mata was active again to see the opportunity...... Beautiful cross, Bendtner's header!! It's a pity that it smashed on the side netting......"
“…… It's Juan Mata again, who managed to break through Manchester United's captain Gary Neville for the fifth one-on-one in this game! Take the bottom line...... Entered the restricted area...... It seems that Weisbrown, who has already suffered a loss, no longer dares to be careless, he chose to get stuck in time and did not rush to make a move...... Juan Mata sends the ball out of the box...... Whew, Alan Smith!! Nice long shot! Van der Sar saved a powerful long-range shot......"
“…… Juan Mata cruising down the middle, but Fletcher was able to pick him up from behind in the first place...... Oh, Joey Barton shouldn't have passed the ball to Juan Mata at this time, the Spanish winger didn't have a route to pass the ball...... Whoa, whoa, God! How did the ball get through? Owen got the ball in the box! Irving...... Irving...... Owen Owen Owen!! Unfortunately, Owen's shot was blocked by Vidic's leg and out of the touchline......
…… As the message conveyed by the roar of the commentator Sester, after the change of the surname of the madman Lee Ji-fu, Newcastle firmly suppressed Manchester United with Juan Mata's brilliant performance! Fletcher alone simply can't effectively suppress Mata's schedule, and although Hargreaves is tough, Owen and Alan Smith have already involved all the energy of the former Bayern iron waist, and they can't give Fletcher effective support!
In the 75th minute, Juan Mata made another comeback after receiving Steven Taylor's clearance ball at the back!
In the face of the sheer speed of the Spanish winger, Fletcher once again became the "chaser" of tragedy - in the roar of Ferguson, although Fletcher used his strength, but his outstretched fingertips to grab Mata's black and white shirt were getting farther and farther away from the back of the number 66!
Even if you want to foul, you have already lost the opportunity!
After using his speed to get rid of Fletcher, Juan Mata had just crossed the pitch with the ball and crossed the line less than ten meters before he met his old enemy Evra!
Patrice Evra escaped the referee with a foul in the first half, and Juan Mata rewarded with a penalty trap that left the French feeling disgruntled!
This time, it was the first one-on-one battle between the two in the second half!
Not far away, Alan Smith is raising his hand to ask for the ball!
Juan Mata makes a pass feint!
Patrice Evra was about to step forward quickly to block the pass, but Mata suddenly changed center and kicked the ball hard behind the Frenchman, and began to speed again, ready to force his way past Evra, once again using his speed to eat his opponent raw!
Worst! Fooled again!
At this moment, Evra almost took out a submachine gun from his pocket and slammed it at Juan Mata's back! This cunning young man has already made him lose face in the game! Thinking about the spit that Boss Alex Ferguson splashed in his face in the midfield dressing room, Patrice Evra clearly understood: if this kid successfully broke through from his side again and posed a threat to Manchester United, then he would be the scapegoat for the game...... Turn around and chase!
In order to maintain a sufficient lead, Juan Mata did not choose to cut cross-cutting into the box this time, but kept going down the sideline in a straight line at high speed!
Seeing this scene, Newcastle's two big strikers, Ameobi and Bendtner, hurriedly bowed their bodies to Manchester United's big penalty area, waiting to receive Mata's cross!
Juan Mata brought the ball to the baseline, picked up his right leg and prepared a powerful cross, but Evra sprinted from behind like a bullet and then a fallen tackle slammed into the ball...... The situation is critical, and there is no way to do it without tackle!
And the location is not in the box, and Evra doesn't have to be afraid to give Newcastle another penalty!
But...... The tragic French have been fooled again!
Juan Mata didn't choose to pass the ball first, and after the feint, he suddenly stepped on the ball with the ball before Evra's tackle and pulled the ball back!
Buzz~~~ In the exclamations of the fans in the nearby stands, Evra slammed into the billboard on the sidelines like a maglev train that suddenly derailed! The hard plastic billboard that should have been Nike's logo in English was deeply dented...... The appearance is much more miserable than Juan Mata's in the first half!
Interesting!
The Frenchman seemed determined to go against Mata, who crashed into an Adidas billboard in the first half, and Evra hit Nike...... Fooling Patrice Evra into "flying out", Juan Mata had plenty of time to see where his team-mates were standing in the box before opting for a cross!
In the Restricted Area!
Ameobi at the front post was not able to compete for the football under the interference of Vidic, but Wes Brown at the back post was easily suppressed by Danish high Nicolas Bendtner, and the blonde teenager on loan from Arsenal smashed the football into the Red Devils' goal like a god of war rising from the ground!
The ball is too fast!
Brush~~ That's the sound of a football hitting the net!
Van der Sar, who successfully defended most of the Manchester United goal, was no longer powerless and could only wave his arms...... 3:2!
The strong Newcastle man took the lead for once!
……“…… Assist hat-trick! Spanish teenager conquered Old Trafford!! This is the best counter-attack to the endless boos and insults that have been poured out by the Manchester people for a year! Sester was calm at this moment, and his tone was full of sensationalism: "...... What an irony it is that a teenager abandoned by the Theatre of Dreams has become the focus of Old Trafford tonight! I wonder if Ferguson will regret it? I heard that Juan Mata's loan deal includes a £2 million buy-out clause, and Juan Mata himself seems to prefer to play under the madman Lee......
At this moment, the fussy Old Trafford also became a little weird!
Some of the United fans in the stands were booing wildly, some were sitting in their seats at a loss, and some had already started to give a thumbs up to Juan Mata, who didn't celebrate wildly after his hat-trick of assists on the pitch...... The "disunity" of Manchester United fans made the cheers and horns of more than 20,000 Newcastle fans appear particularly loud and cheerful in the night sky of the Theatre of Dreams...... Of course, there are people who are already so angry that they are going crazy!
It's not Ferguson, it's Manchester United full-back Patrice Evra!
The French are already mad!
Two of the three goals conceded by Manchester United were caused from their own side! Even in the Champions League, facing top stars such as Messi and Ibrahimovic, he has never been so embarrassed as he is today!
This scene is so ironic!
A year ago at the Wellington training base, this little guy from Spain was put by himself again and again in the group confrontation, and when facing his own defense, he returned again and again in vain, and he didn't even dare to say a word under his own reprimand, and he didn't expect to let himself do his best in front of more than 70,000 fans today...... This kid, he must have done it on purpose!
I'm playing tricks on purpose!
Patrice Evra didn't look for a reason in himself, in fact, it was normal for both sides to be in charge of each other, but they focused their anger on Juan Mata............ 88th minute!
When Juan Mata won the ball on the flank and faced Patrice Evra again, the Frenchman made a move that he regretted after the game - at the edge of the penalty area, Mata faked a breakthrough feint and then passed the ball to Alan Smith in the middle, but the furious Evra did not give the Spanish winger a chance, but pretended to give Juan Mata an elbow directly when he turned close to the defense...... Bang~~~ Blood splashes!
Like a sapling that has been cut down by a big axe, Mata fell to the ground without any suspense!
However, the referee, Marin Richardson, did not stop the game at the first time! When Patrice Evra feigned innocence and brought Alan Smith's football out of bounds, Richardson discovered that Newcastle's number 66 appeared to be injured...... This is the end of the competition!
Shhhhhh
It was a clear malicious foul!
Dangerous deliberate hurtful action!
Juan Mata looks like he's fainted near the line of the penalty area!
The Magpies' team doctor rushed to the field for a brief examination and carried Juan Mata on a stretcher to the sidelines of the coach's box for emergency treatment!
It took a minute for Juan Mata to come to his senses! However, the corner of the little guy's eyebrows cracked open a big hole of four or five centimeters, and the blood was oozing out bit by bit!
Nugent, the team doctor, can only quickly wrap a bandage after simple stitches to help the little one stop the bleeding!
At this time, the Newcastle fans in the stands stood up from their seats, raised their hands above their heads and shouted in unison:
“…… Mata, stand up!! ”
"Stand up! Mata, stand up! ”
...... "Do you want to change people?" "Assistant coach Alan Shearer gives advice to Lee Tong-beom!
"No!" Lao Li shook his head solemnly: "He should finish this game, this is his moment, the best chance to correct his name!" ”
With less than five minutes to go, Juan Mata was desperate to play his first Old Trafford full-time game. Because since his transfer to Manchester United, the Spanish Clippers have never played a full 90 minutes at the Theatre of Dreams! Over the past year, Mata's appearances at Old Trafford, both as a starter and as a substitute, have been incomplete!
Two minutes later, Juan Mata changed his bloodstained jersey to the applause of the fans and jogged on the pitch again!
In the field!
The referee has done his duty, and after Marin Richardson consulted with the linesman, Patrice Evra was sent off with a straight red card!
No one sympathized with the French full-backs, not even the fans of Manchester United, who booed!
At the edge of the penalty area, Newcastle got a direct free-kick opportunity!
In the absence of Turkish Emre, Newcastle don't have a trustworthy set-piece striker! In the end, Juan Mata, who had just come on the pitch, stood in front of the football!
Since everyone is not sure, let's have the right to use this free throw by the creator of the opportunity!
Force~~~ The whistle sounds!
The eyes of the entire audience of 70,000 people were focused on this Spanish boy whose head was wrapped in a white bandage, but the bright red blood had oozed out!
He's very short!
His surname is shy!
He was almost swept away by Real Madrid's second-tier team!
He almost said goodbye to the football he loved and became a truck driver according to his father's arrangement!
He sank at Old Trafford and was angrily denounced by countless people as a parallel trade and waste wood!
And now, he is going to make a name for himself and use his feet to tell the world that Juan Mata is a genius, a real genius!
Of course, the most important thing is to help the guy standing in front of the dugout on the sidelines of the football field to achieve a victory and achieve the team's goal of hitting the League Cup!
So, this goal must be scored!
Bang!
The loud sound of the football shook everyone!
A white S-shaped lightning pierced everything, and Van der Sar couldn't reflect it at all!
It was a legendary goal similar to that of Robert Carlos at the Four Nations Invitational Tournament in France, and only someone like Juan Mata, who has accumulated energy for a year and seven months, would be able to play such a goal in this moment!
Stand up!
And then there was applause!
There aren't many players who can conquer Old Trafford as an enemy, and Juan Mata is one of those few today!
The youngest one!
Experience one of the most legendary!
When the game was over after three minutes, the applause at Old Trafford wasn't over!
4:2!
Juan Mata's "revenge battle", three assists and one goal, this is the answer he handed in!
