Chapter 130: Champion
After scoring the goal, Darren Bent was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that the football was in the Manchester United goal, he immediately turned to hug Andy Cole, who was closest to him, and then the other Manchester City players also ran over to celebrate.
"The ball is in! 3:1, Manchester City opened the score gap again! ”
"We can see that the adjustments made by Wan Sheng are quite effective, Joey Barton is very effective against Cristiano Ronaldo, and then Manchester City scores! Darren Bent helped extend the lead to two goals! The young striker came in for the injured Nicolas Anelka, but he was no worse than the Frenchman! ”
'It was a very crucial goal! With this goal, it will be much more difficult for United to equalise again'
"The more pivotal figure was Morris, his passing was very unexpected and very accurate, and O'Shea and the others didn't expect Morris to pass that kind of ball. It can be seen that Manchester United's defense of Morris is very weak, although Morris's performance is not as outstanding as Gerrard in Liverpool or Frank Lampard in Chelsea, but his role is no worse than the first two! ”
"When we see this pass, we may think of the current England team, what we lack is this kind of playmaking and passing suddenness and precision, and we can think of Morris as David Beckham in the middle of the midfield."
'The change that Wansheng made before was obviously for Ronaldo and it worked, because United couldn't find a chance for a while, they were a little messy, and then Manchester City got a chance, which is a very effective adjustment'
"Manchester City were so good in this game, from the coaches to the players, they showed the style of a world-class team"
"In contrast. Manchester United are a bit worse, apart from Ronaldo, it's hard to see a second good player'
“”
Hearing these commentators, you may think that they are pure Manchester City supporters, and it is hard to imagine that they were still saying good things about Manchester United before.
There is no real camp in these media, and the angle they stand in has to do with 'where they are now'. Whichever team performs well, they will support whichever team, and now that Manchester City are about to win the game, they are naturally directly on Manchester City's side.
Their comments will be misleading to the fans - look, we have been supporting Manchester City, and sure enough, Manchester City won!
This is the legendary 'two sides and three knives'
Seeing Darren Bent blast the ball into the Manchester United goal, Wan Sheng jumped up from the grass and raised his fist and swung it hard.
It's time to vent and celebrate!
3:1。 Victory is in sight!
The tactics he developed were successful, the game was won, and the League Cup trophy was within reach!
At the same time, Wan Sheng was also happy for the performance of the players.
Just this goal, Morris's ability has been perfectly displayed, he is the team's midfield engine, but the midfield engine will also be taken care of by the opponent, but Morris still appeared in the most appropriate position, and used a sudden hanging pass. Breaking down United's defence created chances for team-mates.
This is the performance of the world's top core midfielder!
Morris's excellence also gave Wansheng a huge sense of achievement. Because Morris is a player he cultivated, Morris also had a little bit of fame in his previous life, but it was in the second division of England, and there is not much fame in the whole of England, and foreign fans will definitely not know about him, but now he has become a high-profile star all over the world. In terms of performance, it is no worse than Gerrard and Frank Lampard, and countless clubs want to bring in this midfielder, which is the success of Morris, and it is also the success of Wansheng.
Diamares, Pierce and the team doctor all came over to celebrate, and the substitutes also gathered around. Everyone cheered, even crazier than the fans in the stands.
Pierce, in particular, blushed with excitement, "Win!" Wansheng! Win! We won! We're about to win the championship! ”
He has reason to be more excited than others because he has more affection for Manchester City than others.
Before becoming assistant coach, Pierce was a player at Manchester City, and for a few years, he had a deep affection for Manchester City, and he hoped that one day Manchester City could become even better, and now that the team has achieved success in the league and is now about to win the League Cup against rivals Manchester United, there is nothing more exciting for him
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has completed a 'change of face' in a short period of time.
Before, he had a smile on his face, because Cristiano Ronaldo performed well, and the game once tilted in the direction of Manchester United, but now his face has become gloomy, as if a storm is coming at any time.
It's only been a long time!
Ferguson never imagined that the situation would be reversed so quickly, with Manchester City scoring a goal and Manchester United falling behind by two goals again!
How do you chase two balls?
At half-time, he was a little bit confident that his team would tie the score, but now that confidence has been greatly diminished because there is not enough time to play.
Not to mention that the current team is not doing as well as it should, even if the team can play well again, press Manchester City again, and every player performs well, it is still very difficult to score two goals in less than 20 minutes.
Ferguson knows that, and the United players know it. Manchester United fans know it, and so do all the media.
So the media was unanimously skewed in favour of Manchester City, who thought there was no suspense about Manchester City's victory, while Manchester United fans were in a gloomy mood, and they didn't come to Cardiff from Manchester to see the team lose.
The Manchester United players on the pitch also looked bad, and no one liked the feeling of failure, especially after the first sight of hope, and their bad mood can be imagined.
One of the worst moods was C. Ronaldo, at this time the Portuguese star was looking at Joey Barton with burning eyes, who after celebrating the goal with his teammates, ran past C. Ronaldo's side, and secretly raised his middle finger at him, which was completely provocative and teasing him.
C-Ronaldo felt rather annoyed.
Soon. At the urging of Manchester United, the game restarted, and when the players ran back to their positions, Wan Sheng shouted to them to be serious, "The game is not over yet!" Kick harder! Don't give them a chance! ”
"Calm down! Calm down! Be patient, play more control and cooperate! ”
"Defend the goal! Note! ”
The team leads by two goals. There is no need to risk attacking again, defense is more crucial, so Wansheng emphasizes defense.
In this game, Manchester City's tactics are also focused on defense, in fact, control is the best defense, football is at their own feet, it must be the safest, and the opponent will not have a chance.
After the restart of the game. Manchester United have launched a stormy attack on Manchester City, and they have no choice but to attack and score two goals in a short period of time, which is the only option.
When United did this, the attack became quite threatening, with C-Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs, Park Ji-sung, and three players pressing towards the Manchester City half in three ways. Rio Ferdinand at the back was also running up slowly, and it was clear that United were going to lay siege to Manchester City at half-time.
At this time, the player who is on the radar is still Cristiano Ronaldo. Because Manchester United's attack is still focused on the wings, Cristiano Ronaldo's individual ability is also what they rely on.
United made a substitution, with Fletcher coming in for Brown, replacing a defender and an attacking striker, and United's intentions were self-evident.
However, the appearance of the youngster Fletcher. It's hard to get attention, and the most eye-catching is Cristiano Ronaldo on the wing, and the Portuguese star has also provoked Manchester United fans to shout with the ball again and again.
But alas, he ran into his 'sworn enemy' Joey Barton.
Joey Barton will not skimp on small moves when defending C-Ronaldo. He does almost everything, and he's extremely serious.
It's pretty good for a professional to be able to do Joey Barton, and although he's hovering in front of the England goal, England has only two dozen players in total, and he's one of the best England players in existence.
The stars who can reach this point are re-arrogant in their hearts, and he is naturally unconvinced by players who are more famous and perform better, especially like C-Ronaldo, who is handsome and eye-catching. With this mentality, it is conceivable how seriously it will be dealt with, and once Joey Barton even stopped Cristiano Ronaldo with a 'egg-picking' move.
Although he received a yellow card, Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes were still full of anger.
Anger has reached a tipping point, and it is about to explode.
This time, when Joey Barton pulled C-Ronaldo's shirt again and affected him to dribble forward, C-Ronaldo couldn't help but stop, pushed Joey Barton to the ground hard, and raised his fist to step forward, but fortunately the others who arrived grabbed him.
Joey Barton stood up innocently.
The rest of the players from both teams rushed up and confronted each other on the pitch, and the stars had all been through ups and downs, and when the referee didn't notice, they did all kinds of tricks to take advantage of, and the referee had to force a warning to them, and after separating everyone, he showed Cristiano Ronaldo a red card.
Sent!
The Manchester United players had to argue, but the referee's decision was not over, and Joey Barton also received a yellow card, two yellows turned into one red, and he was also sent off.
After the penalty was awarded, the referee pointed to the sidelines and told the two to leave immediately.
C-Ronaldo's eyes were full of annoyance, but he still had to leave the field, before leaving, Saha came to comfort him, but C-Ronaldo ignored it, and directly shook off Saha's hand and walked out of the field, he didn't even return to the bench, he left the field directly, and many cameras kept chasing his back.
In contrast, Joey Barton has performed much better.
He walked straight to the bench, took the jersey from assistant coach Pierce, and greeted his teammates.
At this time, Wan Sheng stepped forward, looked at him with a smile, and gave him a thumbs up.
The action was directed at the camera, which was done on purpose!
Seeing this picture, those Manchester United supporters immediately said angrily, "Joey Barton completely listened to Wansheng's explanation and went on the field to deliberately provoke Ronaldo!" It's so dirty! ”
"Despicable! It's despicable! This Chinese completely shamelessly wants to win in order to win! ”
"Manchester City will win by despicable means!"
Wan Sheng couldn't hear these angry voices, and even if he did, it didn't matter, what he did just now was to help Joey Barton withstand the pressure.
Joey Barton's defense on the field is indeed quite 'dirty', with Cristiano Ronaldo sent off, it is conceivable what those Manchester United media and Manchester City's hostile media will say about Joey Barton after the game, so he must withstand the pressure.
Those media want to talk about him, anyway, there are a lot of media that pour dirty water on him, it doesn't matter how many more, the important thing is that C-Ronaldo was sent off, and the game is more certain.
Facing the camera, Wan Sheng smiled, pursed his lips defiantly, and raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "I asked Joey Barton to do this, what can you do?" So the conquest of Wansheng became louder.
It's a pity that these voices don't help the game, Manchester United must accept the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off, although Joey Barton was also sent off, but can Joey Barton compare with Cristiano Ronaldo?
This one for one, they suffered a big loss!
Next, Manchester United's offensive was obviously affected a lot, it was already two goals behind, the core attack point of their side was sent off, the mentality of Manchester United players was affected, and then the performance was naturally affected, everyone knew that they were definitely going to lose today, so their offensive became a lot messy.
Manchester City did not take the opportunity to launch a counter-attack, they still focused on holding the goal.
It looks like United's attack is messy and their formation is a bit shaky, but what if they did it on purpose? What's more, Manchester United is Manchester United after all, with one less C-Ronaldo, as well as Giggs, Park Ji-sung, Rooney, Saha, so many stars as long as there is a sudden outburst, it is possible to create goals, so not giving them any chance is the most important thing.
And so time passed little by little.
Even though United are still attacking, anyone knows their chances are running out, as the Sky commentator said, "It's going to be difficult for United to equalise again, but they have to keep doing it." It's despair to keep trying hard and not seeing hope," and as he spoke, the game went into stoppage time.
The game was largely settled, the final was over, and no one believed United could score two goals in three minutes of stoppage time, so the City fans in the stands began to celebrate.
Finally time passed.
In the final three minutes, United threatened, but time was running out and they failed to score, and the referee blew the full-time whistle as Copelle Ferreira headed the ball over the touchline.
Many TV commentators chanted in unison, "Congratulations to Manchester City for winning the 2005-2006 English League Cup!" (To be continued......)
