Chapter 114: Any small means are meaningless in the face of strength!

When a team that is playing hard concedes a point, no one can really blame anyone, because every player is working hard, no player wants their goal to be breached, especially like Manchester United, they are a big team, every player in the team is strong, and they are all big stars.

So, when they concede a goal, who's really going to say anything? Perhaps, the only one who can blame the players for their performance is manager Alex Ferguson, and he is the only one who is most qualified.

But this time it was different, and Leo Ferdinand was blamed.

It wasn't manager Alex Ferguson or Manchester United's team-mates who blamed him, but a lot of media commentators and Manchester United fans who replayed it in slow motion, and everyone could see what had just happened, not just the defense that ran back, but his omission of Darren Bent was also a defensive mistake. Isn't it not to be blamed for making two mistakes in a row in a matter of seconds?

Many commentators, football commentators, and TV guests have talked about this issue.

'It was Ferdinand's mistake and he shouldn't have made two mistakes in a row!'

"He's careless! Manchester City's cooperation is quite good, Darren Bent is not an ordinary young player, the consequence of carelessness is to concede the goal now, which is very serious! ”

'Rio Ferdinand may be thinking about helping goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, but it's not his job, he lets them pass the ball in front of goal at will'

“”

The media commentators spoke for everyone, Ferdinand just now did not work hard, but because he worked too hard, he seemed to have to juggle all kinds of defenses, but instead made two mistakes in a row, giving Manchester City enough chances.

Although the goal was more due to the subtle combination of Manchester City's front, it is recalled that if you want to find one person to take responsibility, it can only be Rio Ferdinand.

Rio Ferdinand stood on the pitch. His expression was depressed.

He didn't know how many people were talking about him, and he didn't know that he was 'taking the blame' for the goal, but he knew that his mistake just now gave the opponent a chance, otherwise it would not be so easy for the opponent to score.

In fact, Rio Ferdinand has long been accustomed to defending like this.

Rio Ferdinand's form this season is not bad, but the state of Manchester United as a whole is not very good, with internal conflicts, off-field turmoil, and various problems that the club has just been acquired, Manchester United's results have been seriously affected, which is reflected in the game. Sometimes Manchester United are very difficult against smaller teams.

As the team's main centre-back, Rio Ferdinand has to shoulder more responsibilities.

Now he doesn't have to do his defensive job, he also needs to pay attention to the performance of his teammates, and pay attention to his teammates at all times, which means that he needs to be mentally prepared to be a 'savior', and only in this way can United win more games.

So, when Manchester City attacked. And in a 3v3 situation at half-time, Ferdinand has to do more than just defend himself, normally speaking, he can defend Darren Bent well. But will Fletcher be able to keep Andy Cole at bay? Can O'Shea restrain Morris? If it were Gary Neville and the others, Ferdinand wouldn't have to think much about it, but Fletcher and O'Shea really didn't believe it, so he could only keep an eye on the middle at all times. At least pay attention to Andy Cole in passing.

He made a mistake and Darren Bent ran out of the open spot.

He can't be blamed entirely because Morris's passing is fantastic. Unexpected and at the same time amazingly accurate, he wanted to make up for his mistakes and help Van der Sar keep more open space, but who would have thought that in the penalty area 1v1 against the goalkeeper, the young Darren Bent did not go for the goal himself, but passed to the back post to give Morris a chance?

Looking at the whole goalscoring process, is he really to blame? The main thing is that Manchester City is doing too well!

Of course, the people of Manchester City don't care about what happens to Manchester United, and at this moment, the whole Manchester stadium is in a revelry, and the cries of Manchester City fans are loud in the sky, drowning out all other voices.

Manchester City fans are so happy!

The main thing is not a 2:1 score, but a kind of difference.

Just a dozen seconds ago, they were worried about their own goal, lest Manchester United score a penalty and win the final victory, but what about ten seconds later? Football is in the Manchester United goal.

It's so exciting that it's impossible for them to control their emotions. Now they don't have to control it, they can vent to their heart's content in the stands!

Amid the cheers of the audience, the Manchester City players hugged and celebrated.

They were more excited than the fans because they were the creators of the 'Big Ups and Downs', and Morris, who scored the goal, ran to Darren Bent and hugged him as soon as possible, shouting in his ear, "What a great pass!" Darren! Well done! Thanks for the pass! ”

Darren Bent grinned happily.

At this time, the other players who rushed over also kept saying words of celebration, and then they ran together towards the backfield with goalkeeper James, and soon all the Manchester City players got together, they did not forget James when they celebrated, speaking of which James was the biggest contributor, because he saved C-Ronaldo's penalty, and was also the initiator of the counterattack, if there was no James, it would be Manchester United who celebrates the goal now.

In the celebration of Manchester City fans, some commentators also praised Manchester City.

"This is Manchester City, in this goal, Morris, Darren Bent and Andy Cole all showed the best level in the world, and even Ferdinand made mistakes in the face of the combination of the three"

'It took only 17 seconds to go from saving a penalty to a counter-attacking goal, that's the efficiency of the team at the top of the Premier League, Manchester City were so good that it deserved to be written in football textbooks'

There are also media praising Darren Bent, "Darren Bent has just played in the top league, he is a striker, and he has to compete with Anelka in the team, it stands to reason that such a young striker will be very eager to score goals, but just now this goal can be seen that he has a calm mentality and knows what is best for the team, so there is Morris's goal, Darren Bent almost passed the ball so that Morris doesn't need to think at all, all he has to do is push the ball into the empty goal!" ”

'Looking at this goal, we should expect Darren Bent to grow, who was rarely noticed before, but now we can look forward to the future England team. What will his forward line look like with Wayne Rooney'?"

That's how the English media approach England players.

There have also been people who have paid attention to Darren Bent before, after all, he has scored a lot of goals in the English second division, but this attention is too different from the top league goalscorers, after joining Manchester City, because of the competition with Anelka, Darren Bent's playing time is limited, and the goals are not very many, so it reduces the attention.

But he's an English player, and when he performs well, it's inevitable that the English media will pay attention to him. Now when he is doing so well, there is an immediate expectation that he will perform in the England squad.

Darren Bent's performance in the game is not worse than Rooney, and even much better than Rooney, because Rooney has almost no performance.

In short, he received more attention.

In fact, not only the media, but even Ferguson on the sidelines were watching Darren Bent, and when Manchester City scored a goal, the old Jazz only had anger in their hearts. But when he had to accept the reality, he started thinking about other things while he was angry.

Are you going to poach a player from Manchester City to come to Manchester United?

It's a tempting idea, and it's a great idea to weaken your opponent and strengthen yourself. Especially now on the pitch of this Manchester City team, Ferguson has to admit that they are indeed very good, and there are many very good players in them. Such as Morris, Kopelle Ferreira, Distin, and Darren Bent up front.

What Ferguson wanted most was actually Morris, after Roy Keane left. Manchester United's midfield has always been a problem, and now even Fletcher and O'Shea are partnered, Morris can definitely improve the team a lot, this is a world-class midfielder, but the problem is that Manchester United cannot poach Morris, Morris is the Chinese's hardcore 'sister'.

On the other hand, Darren Bent is not bad either?

Although Manchester United has Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ruudney, Saha and other young people to be cultivated in the front line, there are not as many young talents as the team, not to mention how long Ruud Nistelrooy can stay at Manchester United, he can't guarantee.

Ferguson was lost in thought

Wan Sheng didn't expect Ferguson to draw the attention of his players, and all he had to do at this moment was to celebrate with everyone.

From conceding a goal to scoring a goal, from hell to heaven!

After the twist and turn, all we need to do now is to vent!

Wan Sheng was like an ordinary fan, shouting excitedly on the sidelines, he hugged everyone who came over, and celebrated with the players on the bench, after the celebration, he also ran to the spectator stands, waved to the fans in the stands, which attracted countless responses, and then Wan Sheng raised his arms and kept forward, as if leading an army to charge, or directing music? No one knows what he's doing, but everyone knows that he's definitely very excited right now.

"Wan Sheng is really not graceful," said a hostile media commentator.

But the media close to Manchester City praised Wan Sheng's performance, "He's not as serious as other coaches, he's very close to the fans, so he's very popular with the fans. It's hard to really support a manager who you can only see on TV, but if this manager is your friend, you will definitely support it."

The neutral media gave the most plausible explanation for this: "No matter how successful he is as a manager, we must not forget the fact that he is not yet 30 years old, and this age is far from mature. It's a little too early for him to get married, and some of his peers are still going to nightclubs every day. He's done very well, he's earning more than the big stars, he's said to have a company with assets over 10 million, and he's still single, but I've never heard of him going to a nightclub."

'He's a steady guy who can control himself and he dedicates most of his energy to football, so when he's successful in football, whatever he does, it's understandable.

After the celebration of the goal, the two sides resumed the game.

The time has reached the final stage, the only thing United can do is to open their hands and attack, and only by breaking the Manchester City goal again can they equalize the score, and the defense is no longer meaningful, because in any case, the worst outcome is to lose the game.

So you can imagine what will happen to Manchester United's attack.

They are already fighting against the water, and all they can do is to break the cauldron and fight as hard as they can!

But obviously Manchester City will do their best to defend, they will not give Manchester United a chance, after the restart, Manchester City retreated, almost everyone retreated to the front of the box, the only one left in front of him was Darren Bent, and then the football began to fly around the halfway line and in the Manchester City penalty area.

The game looked dangerous, but in reality, the only shot United could find was a long-range shot from the perimeter, because the box was full of people, and even if they hoisted the ball over, it would be difficult to find an opportunity.

What City need to do is very simple, as soon as they touch the ball, they kick forward, and they can delay for a long time at a time.

In this way, time passed minute by minute.

In the 90th minute, it went into stoppage time, and the stoppage time was three minutes, and the first two minutes of the game were almost unchanged, Manchester United still laid siege to Manchester City's half, and in the third minute, goalkeeper Van der Sar came out and ran into the Manchester City penalty area.

But there was no point in doing so, because the football was snatched away by Distin and kicked towards the front.

It was Darren Bent who got the ball this time!

Darren Bent did not have a defender around him after receiving the ball, but his position was not too far forward, just in the middle line, and the United players rushed over to defend, but Darren Bent did not hesitate to turn and drive the ball directly towards the Manchester United goal.

The ball flew high and crashed in front of goal.

Everyone watched as the ball fell on the grass, then bounced, fell again, bounced again, and so on three times before slowly rolling across the goal line.

3:1, the winner is decided!

Darren Bent's half-time goal was the final image of the Manchester derby, leaving the Reds in utter despair and time running out as the referee blew the final whistle on time.

Ferguson did not shake Wansheng's hand after the game, and the bad relationship between the two was even worse than that of Mourinho.

In the past, Ferguson thought that the Portuguese would be his mortal enemies because there was the biggest competition between them, but now he found that the biggest rival is Wansheng, and the two sides are not only competing in the league, Manchester United and Manchester City are the biggest rivals, which does not need to be said at all.

Ferguson's attitude, Wan Sheng naturally did not find himself bored, he walked to the front of the players' tunnel, just glanced at Ferguson who was leaving, smiled and left directly.

Then he was stopped by reporters from the mixed zone.

At this time, the mixed area has already been occupied by reporters, hundreds of reporters have come around to interview Wan Sheng, that scene needs stadium security to maintain order, in order to make Wan Sheng safer, but Wan Sheng still accepted the interview, he wanted to express his feelings as soon as possible, "I am very happy that the team can win the game!" ”

'The last time we had a big win at Old Trafford, they said they were going to get revenge, but unfortunately they didn't do it and the victory was still ours!'

"The game, the whole process, I was very happy with my players, they also performed very well, if it wasn't for the derby, maybe I should have praised the game for being very good, but alas, at the end I saw a disgusting scene, their players actually wanted to fake a fall in exchange for a win, this is the most disgusting thing, I really want to describe what I saw in 10,000 ugly words."

"Whenever Manchester United can't win a game, they want to rely on some disgusting means to win, but it's a pity that they are now running into Manchester City, and any small means are meaningless in the face of absolute strength!"

Wan Sheng waved his hand and said menacingly. (To be continued......)
