Chapter Seventy-Seven
"Smalling's foul!"
"Wow...... It was a foul of a very bad nature, and Smalling's flying shovel was firmly on Di Maria's leg, and Di Maria looked like a big tree that had been felled......
"Smalling's tackle is still too reckless. How could he make such a move? You know, shoveling people behind has always been a taboo. ”
……
The slow motion of the game replays Smalling's tackle action over and over again, and it is almost certain that Smalling's foul is real, the only doubt is only the referee's decision, Manchester City's team doctor has rushed to the scene of the incident to start processing, and more Manchester City players are surrounding the referee and putting pressure on the referee.
Red!
"The referee from Hungary, Viktor Kase, pulled out a red card! Less than three minutes into the game, Chris Smalling was sent off with a straight red card! ”
When Victor took out the red card, this time, the referee was replaced by Manchester United players.
'The United players may think that Smalling seems to be showing signs of retracting when he tackles, but that's nothing to argue about, it's a red card! Smalling was still too young. Seeing the actions of the Manchester United players, Andy Gray shook his head and said, "But there are excusable circumstances, in the final analysis, such a game, for young players, the pressure is unimaginable." ”
"Of course. However, United's players are not necessarily really unhappy with the decision. "Anyway, let's hope Di Maria is okay, it looks like it's going badly." ”
Di Maria's situation is really bad.
The director of the game knew very well what the fans were most concerned about at this time, and after slow-motion, after switching the camera to Di Maria and the referee, he quickly focused on the two managers on the sidelines.
The face is expressionless.
This is Lin Sen's table xiàn.
Whether Smalling's red card is deserved or not, Linson doesn't care, he cares about Di Maria's injury. Because just after Smalling's foul, the color on Di Maria's head obviously changed. Such a situation often means that something bad happens. At the same time, he cares about the game.
Martin Taylor was right.
Manchester United players besiege the referee, not necessarily dissatisfied with the referee's decision, such a clear and clear foul, Lin Sen does not believe that Manchester United's players can't see it, but, if it is a role reversal. Lin Sen must also very much like his players to go up and besiege the referee.
You know, there is not much time left for the game. At this time, if you make a fuss like this again, although there may be a little more stoppage time, basically after the trouble is over, the referee can also start stoppage time directly. Such an unspoken rule is as normal as the goalkeeper who will be encountered many times to delay time at the last moment, the difference is that. Such an opportunity is even rarer, and as long as it is smart enough, the referee simply cannot find a chance to play a card.
The camera is given to Ferguson again.
Compared with the expressionless Lin Sen, Ferguson's expression seemed calmer.
He didn't do it as usual. Because his players were sent off, they yelled at the referee on the sidelines, didn't even complain to the fourth official, and of course couldn't dissuade their own players from behaving on the field, which looked unhappy and carefree.
Teammates stand out for themselves. Smalling, who got up after making a flying tackle, looked a little dazed in the face of the red card shown by the referee.
Maybe. Even he didn't know why he made such a move, saying that he deliberately hurt people, which is obviously unlikely, not to mention that the game is about to end, although Di Maria has broken through him just now, he is not the last line of defense for Manchester United, and at that time, he has even seen Ferdinand have pulled out to fill the position......
Smalling, with his head down, walked slowly off the pitch, accompanied by a shrill boo from Manchester City fans.
As he walked off the pitch, Ferguson suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
Didn't speak.
For this young man who seems to just go up and dirty his shirt and walk off, Ferguson's opinion of him will not change because of this red card, which will accompany Smalling's career, but the motivation is still a setback, and a big deal will depend on Ferguson.
Lin Sen did not "see" Di Maria's injury, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.
After the team doctor made a substitution gesture to him, he had to rush to get Reus ready to play.
It was a passive substitution, but it still occupied Lin Sen's last substitution. And after this substitution, all Lin Sen can do is to stand quietly on the sidelines, waiting for the moment when the game is over, or go to heaven or hell.
Lin Sen does not believe in God, but at this time, he can only pray to God.
It certainly won't be too long.
In the stands, both Manchester United fans and Manchester City fans were so nervous.
Manchester United fans don't get elated just because they're ahead, football is a game like that, and no one knows where the glory will go until the last minute.
The closest moment to the trophy is also the moment furthest from the trophy.
That's football.
And Manchester City fans will not give up hope because they are behind, they still dance, sing, and use their singing to support their team and support them to fight until the last moment.
Eleven to ten.
It seems that Manchester City has finally taken an advantage, but time has weakened that advantage infinitely.
Manchester United's siege really exhausted the last bit of time in the game, and the stoppage time sign was raised on the sidelines: six minutes.
It's a long stoppage time, but it's not a long time for City.
Bale stood at the spot where Smalling had just been fouled, and where Di Maria had fallen, put the ball away and looked into the box.
It wasn't the last minute, but at this time, although he didn't go directly to the opponent's penalty area to participate in the grab, Joe Hart still stood in the center circle and directly played the role of a scavenger at the back, and then, the rest of the Manchester City players all piled up in the opponent's penalty area.
In other words, after deducting the goalkeeper, the current Manchester United penalty area is squeezed into eighteen people. Both sides are equal in number.
For Bale, such a forbidden area is not an exaggeration to say that it is crowded.
Free kick tactics, this is naturally there, but such a penalty area, I'm afraid any tactics are useless, so what Bale can do, to put it a little dirty, is to close his eyes. Pass the ball into the penalty area and hand a qiē to the legendary probability.
The ball goes into the box!
The crowd surged, and several high points jumped at the same time.
But in the end, it was only one person who won, and this person, wearing the red jersey, the captain of Manchester United, Nemanja Vidic.
The ball was cleared out of the box by Nemanja Vidic and it was the United players who grabbed the second point. And a key player, Wayne Rooney.
Wayne Rooney took just a few steps to the ball before looking towards the Manchester City goal.
Joe Hart, who had been standing near the centre circle, had quickly retreated, but he was far from goal. There is still a considerable distance to be reached.
Rooney sees an opportunity!
"Manchester United's chance!" Andy Gray let out an exclamation, "Joe Hart was too far from goal, Rooney opted for a lob shot!" ”
The ball is like a rainbow, starting at the feet of Rooney. Prepare to crash into the Manchester City goal.
Almost the entire Wembley stadium was on its feet, Ferguson had stopped chewing gum, and Linson's hands were shaking slightly......
Joe Hart is still running wild.
He's getting faster with the ball.
But. The ball always runs faster than people.
"Hoo ......"
A huge and cleansed exclamation.
Not applause, not cheers, because the ball didn't go in.
The ball ran past Joe Hart, but also over the goal, though only a little more than that.
Rooney hugged his head with both hands, feeling sorry for missing this great opportunity, and Ferguson also hugged his head, at this time, he did not hide his regret at all. As for Lin Sen, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Manchester City are still behind, but hope remains.
Joe Hart, who was scared out of a cold sweat, didn't have time to soothe his pounding little heart, and after receiving the ball thrown back by the caddy, he quickly threw the ball to the returning Zabaleta, and then, Zabaleta immediately burned the fire to Manchester United's half.
The ball was passed to Robben's feet, but even Robben frowned at the opposition's dense defense.
Manchester United have retreated from all sides.
Now, no one will say that they are not enterprising, and in the face of honor, any team, will choose the way that is best for them.
As a last resort, Robben had no choice but to pass the ball to the middle again.
But it is still useless, in the face of Manchester United's iron wall, Manchester City's ball is like encountering an invisible obstacle, from right to left, and from left to right, just can't move forward.
The game just went by minute by minute.
All the United personnel had already arrived on the sidelines, waiting for the final minute before they rushed on the pitch to celebrate.
Shot!
Lin Sen, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't care about what others could hear at this time, he only knew that if he didn't shoot, any other way would just be a chronic suicide.
It seemed to hear Linson's voice, and when the ball came to Adriano's feet, his left foot was ready to make a bow.
How is it possible to make you shoot?!
Adriano made a move, Carrick had already blocked his way, but this time, Adriano had a left-footed dunk.
Shake off Carrick directly.
Then, hang a curling ball with your right foot!
Yes, the right foot!
Every Manchester United player received a document before the game, in the information, a detailed list of the habits and characteristics of each Manchester City player, although these things in fact after two seasons of competition, each Manchester United player will know something about it, but such a piece of information, undoubtedly let Manchester United players know more about their opponents.
For Adriano, one thing is very clear.
The left foot will.
Adriano is indeed a left-footed player, and most of the goals in his career have been scored with his left foot, to use an exaggerated analogy, compared to the left foot that he can use to play the violin, his right foot is simply an ornament.
That's why when Adriano lifted his left foot, Carrick was relieved to intercept it.
But now, Adriano shot with his right foot!
And, the arc is wonderful! (To be continued......)
