The half-time score was 1-0.

What happens next? This is a question that many people ask themselves at halftime.

Andy Gray believes that Manchester City should play defensive counter-attacks in the second half, which is the safest way, in line with the scoreline and in line with the shape. Martin Taylor agrees with him that when the score is up, the counter-attack is not to give up the initiative, but rather a strategy to retreat, and Manchester United will have to attack in the second half, they have to do that, but Manchester City do not have to do so.

It's just that after more than ten minutes of playing in the second half, they knew that they were wrong.

Manchester City didn't think about anything at all, what they wanted, or what Lin Sen wanted, was to completely lock in the win.

1-0 is never a scoreline to sit back and relax, especially with half time to go.

Lin Sen has not thought about defensive counterattacks, you know, this is his treasure, last season Malaga was "rich" with defensive counterattacks, both the Champions League and the Copa del Rey. It's a pity that Manchester City is not Malaga, and Linson didn't intend to make Manchester City a second Malaga from the beginning. Rather than defending with a goal in fear, it is better to carry out the original tactics to the end. Linson never dared to underestimate Manchester United, but he would not underestimate Manchester City, which he built single-handedly. Taking a step back, it's just a return to the same starting line, and going a step further, Manchester City will really have peace of mind. No matter how you look at this business, Manchester City can't lose it.

In the second half, neither side made any personnel adjustments, and it was still the same equipment in the first half, and even the tactics were exactly the same as in the first half.

Of course. There are changes.

The change came naturally from Manchester United, whose first half-two midfielders, Michael Carrick, changed his first-half conservativeness. He started to provide a lot of forward assists, but only one of Fletcher remained in charge of David Silva, who provided an assist in the first half.

The most intuitive change that such a change brings to the game is: The game has become even better.

Because of Carrick's advance, Manchester United added a connecting point in the front, and the passing was more fluid. Also because of Carrick's departure from the backfield, David Silva is no longer trapped in the opponent's two back midfield, although Fletcher is still pestering him, but there is no doubt that his space and pressure are instantly a lot smaller, both sides of the attack have been actively or passively strengthened, the game will naturally become smoother.

Ferguson's aim was clear: to step up the attack and try to equalise.

Pity. Manchester City is no longer the Manchester City of last season, or even the Manchester City of the last game, it is impossible to change the situation of the game lightly with a demagogy in the dressing room and a fine-tuning, on the contrary, with the decline of Gary Neville's fitness, Manchester United's right side has gradually become a little unbalanced in attack and defense, and more often, it is Valencia who is fighting alone in attack. And when it came to defending, Valencia had to go back to defense.

Even Park Ji-sung, who claimed to be undead on the left side, began to gradually be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Robben. This is not surprising, Robben has gradually become familiar with the Koreans. And offense and defense, it is always the attacking side that takes the initiative, and Robben doesn't need to win Park Ji-sung every time. It only takes one time to be deadly enough.

There was a slight improvement in the middle. Both sides began to lose ground.

After Gary Neville had to pay for a yellow card to stop Reus's progress, Ferguson knew. It's time for a change.

Two people.

Rafael replaces Gary Neville, Paul Scholes replaces Park Ji-sung.

The former is easy to understand in order to bring the right side back into balance, while the latter, it seems, to let Robben go, but in reality, after Paul Scholes comes on, Carrick's defence will be appropriately tilted towards the left side of Manchester United, and Patrice Evra still does not need to worry about being isolated.

Finally on.

When he saw Scholes on the pitch, Linson deliberately observed the thirty-five-year-old Scholes, who is considered to be the most underrated player in Manchester United's class of 92, and his light was no longer his whole body, but like most players, his love was above his head.

And Lin Sen only saw a calm color.

But Scholes was on the pitch for less than a minute before he left the City fans in the stands in a cold sweat, including Linson.

Midfielder Carrick passed, Scholes leaked at his feet, not only handed the ball to the feet of the retreating Rooney, but also took away Vidal's defense, Rooney, who has been working hard in the game but had little effect, after receiving the ball, made a long-range shot, attracting the attention of De Jong, but in fact it was a fake shot and a real pass, and the ball came to Scholes's feet again.

Without waiting for Vidal to react, Scholes shot straight from distance.

The ball hangs a straight line in the air and goes straight to the corner of the goal.

Scholes shoots from distance!! Oh...... Goalpost! What a pity! Andy Gray, who has been commentating on the Premier League for more than a decade, is obviously familiar with such long-range shots, and his voice instantly rises, but unfortunately, a bigger voice stops his passion.

Given's attention was very concentrated, but even if he was well prepared, he only had time to interfere with the football with his hand, and the football hit the intersection between the crossbar and the post, only to hear a clang, and even the camera behind it was shaking......

Wembley Stadium burst into exclamations.

Manchester United fans are lamenting, while Manchester City fans are rejoicing.

The corners of Lin Sen's mouth twitched, and he suddenly remembered a movie line: Immortals? Monster?

In the last leg, Linson ran into an old monster Ryan Giggs and provided two assists at half-time to put Manchester City 2-0 down at half-time. Now, Giggs is injured and Paul Scholes is back.

Scholes shook his head with some regret, but that was all.

He felt good about the shot just now, and he thought he could score, but he didn't expect to be touched.

The referee then gave the ball on the goal line, and Berbatov, who was standing at the front, immediately raised his hand in protest, because he clearly saw that Given's touch to the football, but unfortunately, there was no bottom line referee at this time, and the referee rejected the appeal of Manchester United.

Unfortunately, it was replaced by Lin Sen, because he clearly saw that the referee's mood had changed, and if Berbatov continued to step forward, it would probably have caused a yellow card. But now, the yellow card has been turned invisible by Scholes.

How else to say that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. Speaking of which, what Manchester City lacks now is such an old monster.

The oldest player in Manchester City's current squad is goalkeeper Given, 33 years old, followed by captain Dunn, who obviously can't play such a role due to his position, and Dunn, after David Luiz and Cahill gradually integrate into the team, the Manchester City captain can still occupy the main position, but next season, I am afraid it will be a little difficult. Thirty years old is the golden age among defenders, but it has not reached the level of a monster.

Linson walked to the sideline and shouted a loud call to Nigel, and when De Jong turned his gaze, he made a gesture.

He understands the gesture, De Jong understands it, and soon, even Scholes.

That's what it means to let De Jong be Scholes' bodyguard-

Once again, the game went into a see-saw time.

The lead is Manchester City, so the game has entered a see-saw stage, and it can only be Manchester United who is in a hurry.

67th, 73rd, 79th...... The clock ticked by, and Ferguson couldn't sit still. Just a minute ago, he played his last card: Owen replaced the inactive Berbatov.

Looking at Ferguson, who was anxious on the sidelines, Lin Sen felt for the first time that the old gentleman who forced himself to be calm with water in the last round was not so unattainable, he would be excited when he scored, he would be disappointed when he lost, and similarly, he would be anxious when he was behind, even if he had become a legend, but he was also a mortal.

Linson played just one card and Adriano replaced Suarez to put a thicker nail in the backline for United.

It seems to have sensed the anxiety of the old man on the sidelines, and the Manchester United on the field have also begun to attack regardless of a qiē, and now, time is their enemy.

In the face of Manchester United's attack, Manchester City chose to shrink at the right time.

There are less than five minutes left.

At this time, Manchester United, who were almost on the board, ushered in their best chance of the game.

Bridge, who teamed up with Reus to contain the opposition's right flank for most of the game, made a fatal mistake in the final moments.

Wembley Stadium has been the main target of criticism since it was built, and although it has been renovated several times, it has not improved, and at this critical time, it finally pitted Manchester City: Bridge slid before De Jong's return pass.

The previously almost airtight Manchester City defense suddenly showed a fatal rift. Both Lin Sen and Ferguson waited for their eyes at this time, and Ferguson raised his two hands slightly, and he had already made a gesture of being ready to cheer at any time.

Valencia couldn't have missed out on the big gift at the door, and with the ball in front of him a huge empty space, there were so many options he could make.

Cutting in, low cross, or ......

In the same vein as David Silva's previous goal, Valencia did not choose to pass in front of a crowded goal, opting for a more open edge of the box.

There, Scholes was already on his feet. And De Jong, I don't know when he has been left behind.

Facing the incoming ball, Scholes made a direct half-turn sweep, and the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball.

Given's movements were still stretched, but this time, he couldn't interfere with the ball.

However, the ball did not go into the net, but slammed into the underside of the crossbar, and then bounced to the ground, and Kompany, who followed him, flew up and kicked the ball high off the touchline......

However, it didn't end there.

Because at this moment, Rooney raised his arm high to signal that the ball had crossed the goal line, but no one else reacted except him......

All eyes were on the referee. (To be continued......)
