Chapter 158: Of course it's not for fun

"Damn it!"

After Yu Liang finished speaking, he looked at Ronaldo and King Dong beside him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's a bit strange that they actually said the same words in unison.

When did they actually have such a tacit understanding?

However, they really can't get used to Arteta's arrogant celebrations. They want to play now and leave a painful memory for Everton and Arteta.

But when they looked at the sidelines and got the resolute back, they gave up on the idea and sat on the bench and watched the game honestly.

Although they shouted before the game that no one could stop them from winning the championship, they had a vigilant heart under the high-profile declaration. They know it's not easy to challenge Everton away from home and have become resilient under David Moyes, but they still think a win over Everton is inevitable. But the game didn't go as they expected, and after conceding the goal, they organized attacks in succession, but they all missed the goal. On the contrary, Everton, under Arteta's organization, has frequently threatened Manchester United's door. As a last resort, Ferguson directly instructed the recovery formation to fight back, and only then did he proudly ensure that he did not concede another goal. By the end of the first half, it was still 1-0 and United were one goal behind.

At the end of the first half, Yu Liang and the others stayed in the stadium for warm-up activities.

Back in the dressing room, Ferguson made some adjustments.

Judging from the first half of the game, the first thing they had to solve was the defensive problem, and only when the defense was solid could they play a counterattack. So he first replaced Patrice Evra and brought on Richardson. Everton's threatening attacks in the first half were all from the right, and it was clear that Patrice Evra, who had just returned from injury, could not withstand their rotation. Counting on Richardson alone is certainly not enough, so Ferguson withdrew Alan Smith to a central midfield position, forming a double midfield with Carrick to increase the interception ability of the midfield and strengthen the protection of the back line.

No matter how good the defense is, it can't bring victory to the team, not to mention that it is they who are behind now, and it is definitely not possible to defend it.

After solidifying the team's defence, Ferguson focused on attack.

After moving Alan Smith to a central midfielder position, he pushed Wayne Rooney up front. Although Rooney started this game, he appeared in the right midfield position. Now up front can increase the impact of the team, and it can also take the energy of Everton's backline.

After a deep groan, Ferguson looked at Giggs and said: "Ryan, in the second half, you were nailed to the front, you don't need to retreat to participate in the defense, you are the starting point of our counterattack, we need your speed and breakthrough on the side!" ”

Fresh after he had made his adjustments, there was bad news coming from the other stadium as Chelsea led Bolton Wanderers 2-1 at home.

"Alright, guys, don't think about anything that has nothing to do with this game! As I said, don't pin your hopes on others, if you want to get something, you have to rely on your own strength to fight for everything! Guys, take out Everton! ”

When he heard the news, he saw the players' expressions change, so he was immediately there to motivate the players.

"Kill Everton!"

After seeing the players' emotions aroused, Ferguson immediately approached his assistant coach Queiroz, "No matter what happened in the game over there, I don't want the players to know until the game is over!" ”

He doesn't want the result on another pitch to interfere and affect the mood of the players right now.

Queiroz immediately agreed.

The second half of the game began quickly, and Manchester United, who were the first to kick off, immediately attacked.

Clearly Everton were prepared and immediately after the start they relented in defence. In the face of Everton's stubborn defense, United's successive attacks did not make any difference, and several shots were blocked by opponents.

Watching the players attack in a hurry, Ferguson stood on the sidelines and shook his head and laughed, when it comes to the important moment of the championship, no one can remain calm!

"Control, control!"

Ferguson walked to the sidelines and shouted, hoping that the players would be patient. Since Everton are reluctant, keep putting pressure on him and there will definitely be times when he collapses.

As soon as the United players received the signal, they slowed down the tempo of the attack and began to fall in midfield. With their strong control, Everton couldn't press it down and it looked like everything was going according to United's trajectory.

A few minutes later, however, United made a mistake up front.

Scholes' pass was intercepted by Everton, who immediately counter-attacked.

Arteta crossed the halfway line with his team-mates in the middle and delivered a through ball that was pinpointed into the gap on the left flank.

“f、uck!”

At halftime, Ferguson told him a lot, but he didn't expect that his left side was still penetrated by the opponent in the second half.

Hernandez, who received a pass from the edge of the box, fired a powerful shot into the top right corner of the goal.

Van der Sar was out of reach, 2-0, United were two goals down.

The cheers in Goodison Park came and went, one after another.

Amidst the cheers, Arteta celebrated passionately.

"Damn it!"

Yu Liang sat on the bench and scolded again.

As they looked to the sidelines, Ferguson was walking right towards them.

Ferguson, who was frowning, looked at Yu Liang and said, "Warm up for me!" ”

Yu Liang and the others immediately jumped up and ran to the side to warm up.

After the goal, Everton reverted to form again and retreated to the defence. At this time, as long as they can do a good job defensively, it is indeed not a problem to win all three points at home.

In the face of Everton's stubborn defense, the furious attack lasted for ten minutes, but United were unable to achieve results.

Ferguson shook his head and called King Dong directly to his side, obviously he needed to step up his attack.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's contribution up front was limited in this game, and Wayne Rooney was alone in front, and he hoped that King Dong could attract some defensive pressure on the field and free Rooney.

However, just as Ferguson and King Dong explained their tactics, Manchester United finally broke through the door of Everton.

Under the pressure of United's continued attack, Everton finally went wrong. Manchester United corner, Ryan Giggs passed into the penalty area, the Everton goalkeeper made a mistake, and O'Shea headed into the net in front of the goal, 2-1, and pulled a goal back.

Taking advantage of this dead goal, Ferguson immediately replaced King Dong and removed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

After the goal, Manchester United's attack was more threatening.

Especially the arrival of King Dong completely liberated Rooney.

In the 66th minute, United created a good chance in front. Ryan Giggs sent a through ball from the left, Dong Wang involved two central defenders in the middle, Rooney successfully cut in diagonally against offside, burst into the penalty area, and directly shook the goalkeeper who attacked Everton.

"Beautiful!"

Yu Liang and Ronaldo, who had been warming up on the sidelines, saw Rooney shaking past the goalkeeper and immediately waved their fists and shouted loudly.

It may have been Rooney who heard his friend's applause, got excited, and pushed the empty goal wide of the post.

"Damn! Can this be missed? ”

Yu Liang and Ronaldo raised a middle finger at Rooney dissatisfied, and then continued to warm up on the sidelines.

Everton's attack looked a little weak after conceding the goal, and Arteta gradually lost his power in the face of Alan Smith and Carrick's double strangulation.

Just when Ferguson thought it was going to be another big deal, Everton collapsed again.

Under the succession of shots from King Dong, Phil Neville made a mistake and cleared the ball straight into his own goal, 2-2, Manchester United equalised.

Ferguson immediately played the second card, replacing Cristiano Ronaldo to strengthen the attack, and he wanted to take advantage of the victory to chase down.

Ronaldo's arrival has restored Manchester United's four-four-two formation, and with the involvement of two wings, the forward line of King Dong and Rooney is more threatening.

In the 78th minute, after receiving O'Shea's cross in front, Rooney shook the opponent's defender lightly and pushed it into the far corner of the net, 3-2, helping the team overtake the score.

Seeing Wayne Rooney score, Cristiano Ronaldo was also looking for a good chance to score on the pitch and created a one-on-one chance in the first minute of stoppage time, but the shot was saved by the Everton goalkeeper.

Although it was already in stoppage time, the goal did not stop, and two minutes later, King Dong received a direct pass from Rooney and pushed it into the net to seal the win 4-2.

4-2, Manchester United came back from home to win at Everton.

When the game was over, Ferguson spread his arms on the sidelines and shrugged his shoulders, as if to say, "Look, no one can stop us, and I'm not talking about playing!" (To be continued.) )
