Chapter 129: Success or Failure in One Fell Swoop!

Joey Barton's individual ability is actually not very good, his skills are not bad, but it is at that level, better than ordinary players, but there is definitely a big gap between him and the top stars, otherwise he would not have been a fringe figure in the England team.

He's a homegrown talent in Manchester, and the word 'homegrown' is important because he's a Manchester City Academy star that's why he's so important in the team.

I don't say this to disparage Joey Barton, but his individual ability is really not comparable to a top star like Cristiano Ronaldo.

But Joey Barton is by no means easy to deal with, calling him a 'bad boy' is not just to describe his off-court life, but also in the games on the court, he is also 'bad', for example, he is defensively, he absolutely does anything to achieve his goals.

This is exactly the same as Cristiano Ronaldo.

Many times in order to win, C-Ronaldo does not hesitate to use fake falls to cheat penalties, so many fans ridicule C-Ronaldo as the 'fake fall king', Joey Barton's 'bad' is used in defense, he is not only tough in defense, but also all kinds of small actions, and he is experienced in this area, many actions are carried out behind the referee's back, and rarely caught by the referee on the spot.

So C-Ronaldo got a headache.

He didn't take Joey Barton in his eyes, in the eyes of the Portuguese, Joey Barton and Musampa actually didn't cry goodbye - they are just defensive roles, there is a big gap between personal ability and himself, he can be directly left in the face with a sprint, if one-on-one, it is not difficult for him to break through.

But when the two clashed again and again, C-Ronaldo felt that Joey Barton was difficult, because he was always disturbed by all kinds of small movements, such as when he was about to rush. will be pulled on the jersey, and for example, he wants to protect the ball and find an opportunity to pass to his teammates, and then feels that his stomach is hit by an elbow, these actions are small, but they have a great effect, and they also make Cristiano Ronaldo full of anger.

He complained to the referee. "You have to pay attention, his defense is dirty!" In his annoyance, his tone was not very good, and the referee gave him a roll of the eye.

'Dirty'!? What is that!

This is a Manchester derby, both sides are doing everything to win, you cheated a penalty with a fake fall last time, and now you are embarrassed to say that someone else's defense is dirty?

Anyway, in the referee's opinion, it doesn't matter if the defensive action is dirty, as long as it is not seen by himself. He certainly won't sentence it.

Then Cristiano Ronaldo felt even more annoyed.

Under the influence of this mentality, his performance was also a little worse than just now, and this way from C-Ronaldo's dazzling performance to C-Ronaldo and Joey Barton's individual battle, the confrontation between the two has attracted a lot of attention, but it is clear that Manchester United's attacking threat is much smaller.

So the commentator said, "Joey Barton caused a lot of trouble for Cristiano Ronaldo"

The effect of Wansheng's substitution is immediate!

When Musampa was on the pitch just now, he couldn't restrain C-Ronaldo at all. As a result, Ronaldo's frequent breakthroughs brought great threat to Manchester City's defense.

Now Joey Barton doesn't say completely limiting Cristiano Ronaldo. But at least withstood the pressure, C-Ronaldo couldn't 'fly' along the way, and Park Ji-sung couldn't compare with C-Ronaldo, plus Manchester City strengthened the defense on the side, his offensive threat was not great.

By this time, United's wings could not 'fly'.

Wansheng sees this situation. I was very satisfied.

There is an old Chinese saying, 'one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion', Manchester United just had their morale boosted to win Manchester City, C-Ronaldo relied on his individual ability to score a goal, and then their performance got better and better. Now that the team has reined in their attack, the game is slowly returning to its original rhythm and the team is back in control, it will be more than just morale for United to score again.

Perhaps they influenced to pray more to God

The current situation is not good for Manchester United.

Some media and fans were still expecting Manchester United's goal, but Manchester United felt that the attack was not easy to play.

On the field, the player who is really in good shape is C-Ronaldo, Park Ji-sung is also good, but the South Korean's individual ability is not outstanding, and the partnership of Ryan Giggs and O'Shea in the middle of Manchester United is really difficult to play.

United didn't know what to do for a while.

They want to attack, they want to score, but the attack is not easy to play, especially when the football is at the feet of Manchester City, they have to face the same problems as in the first half, some players are angry and think about Manchester City and want to pass the ball to kill the game time and then win with a 2-1 advantage, but it doesn't make sense for them to be angry because Manchester City is not playing like this and they are not breaking the rules of the game, and then their mentality is affected.

The anxiety and imbalance of mentality caused by the deficit also affected United's performance, and as time went by, they played more and more disorganized and made more mistakes.

In fact, it is not only Manchester City's passing that is a headache for Manchester United, but also their defense in the middle.

City's attack is not fierce, but Morris in the middle is definitely a difficult figure, often near the halfway line, a little further back than his partner Ivan Crewe, but anyone knows he is the heart of City, so attention to him is a must.

But Morris's movement in midfield is difficult to restrict, and the route can be used. Erratic' to describe, his running actually does not have a fixed area, it is completely random play, and Manchester City's entire formation still revolves around him, many people can't understand how Morris runs, always when needed, he will always appear in the right position, and then hand the ball to his teammates accurately, and then he will not be found on the spot, and when he appears again, he will appear in the right position Morris's running routine, so that many onlookers Football professionals are in a hurry, not to mention Manchester United players, they can't figure out where Morris is going to run in the next moment, so the defense is impossible to restrict。

In fact, Morris's running is really casual, it's all his personal play. This is also the best part of Morris.

Morris's individual ability is very comprehensive, after several years of training, he has approached the level of the world's top stars, but compared with stars such as Ronaldonho and Kaka, his gap is still not small.

But Morris also has something that stands out, and that is awareness and the big picture. In these two aspects, Morris is already very good, and several years of training and competitions have also made him improve a lot, and now his overall view is the highest in the team, perhaps, the evaluation of '95' points, the world is unique.

Wan Sheng doesn't know the situation of the stars of other teams, but he has various players under his command. The overall view of '80+' is an ordinary level, mental attributes and physical attributes are different, and it is the mind that depends on the improvement of the overall situation, in addition, there are some purely innate, or the mentality will also have some influence, in short, this aspect of things is very unpredictable.

Morris's '95' assessment of the big picture is absolutely unmatched. Wansheng believes that even Ronaldinho cannot have such a high number.

That's where Morris is better than anyone else.

It was a little better when Morris was up front. Manchester United defended their own half of the pitch tightly, and just piling up defenders was enough to seal the position, so it wasn't very difficult to contain Morris.

But Morris will be near the halfway line most of the time, and it will be very difficult for them to defend Morris, and Morris will be free to play around here.

When Man City were just playing controlling. Morris didn't play well, he just ran around and then came with a pass, and the overall feeling was no different from other players, but Manchester United still had to pay attention to Morris. Because they know that when the football gets to the feet of Morris, Manchester City are likely to launch a wave of attacks against the goal.

But Morris kept changing positions, leaving City with little to do.

That's it this time, when Morris passed the ball to Ivan Crewe, he was originally in the center circle, Ivan Crewe got the ball, everyone's attention shifted, and then I don't know when, Morris suddenly appeared on the side, and when Joey Barton passed, everyone noticed.

Morris suddenly appeared on the flank about 10 metres from the penalty line and received a pass from Joey Barton.

Manchester United saw Morris taking the ball in that position, and two players rushed over at the first time, one was Ryan Giggs who dropped back to defending, and the other was C-Ronaldo who left Joey Barton alone.

The two flanked them, trying to stop Maurice.

At this time, no one expected Morris to suddenly pass the ball, but to hang it directly over the top!

This caught Giggs, who faced Morris, off guard, and was powerless to do anything.

Giggs stood on his feet and looked back to see the ball go around his head and then over Brown and crash into the far side of the box, where he caught the figure rushing towards it.

Darren Bent!

"Maurice! Exquisite picking! Golden opportunity! Darren Bent rushes over! ”

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines with his fists clenched.

It's a great opportunity, but can Darren Bent take it? To be honest, even he didn't expect Morris to suddenly pass such a ball, this may be Morris's improvisation, but it must be certain that if you want to pass such a ball, the skill of your feet is absolutely indispensable.

During his year at Manchester City, Morris has also improved a bit.

Although he has passed the age of rapid improvement, his efforts are still worthy of recognition.

If Morris had the opportunity when he was young, he would have become a famous star in England long ago, but unfortunately professional football is like this, those famous stars are not necessarily the most talented, but they are definitely luckier than others, and if C-Ronaldo is placed in the lower league, he may not be able to play in a short time.

Fortunately, he made Morris famous, and now when England talk about midfield stars, one is Lampard, the other is Gerrard, and then Morris, Eriksen has to rely on Morris to make the England midfielder more flexible.

At this point, the ball had fallen into the penalty area.

Everyone stared at this ball, Wan Sheng stared at it with wide eyes, success or failure was in one fell swoop!

O'Shea saw the football flying over, Darren Bent stepped in to grab the point, he glanced at Andy Cole who was running next to him, hesitated to go over, Ferdinand was also next to him, he didn't think so much, he rushed straight over, because he knew that no matter what Andy Cole did, if Darren Bent was given a chance, the Manchester United goal would be in danger.

"Look at this ball! Darren Bent! The on-site commentator yelled.

Darren Bent took note of Rio Ferdinand, who was somewhat under pressure against a top-class defender, but now is not the time to think too much about it, as he is in a better position than Ferdinand to take the touch first.

Darren Bent completed his judgment in an instant, and everyone thought that he was going to stop the ball and make adjustments, but what they didn't expect was that Darren Bent directly slowed down and made a foot lift movement in front of the falling football.

"What is he going to do?" Quite a few people looked at it with their mouths long.

Then they saw Darren Bent on the field, his right foot pumping hard against the falling football.

"Volley !!"

Ferdinand didn't expect Darren Bent to do anything directly, and even if he did, he couldn't stop it, he could only subconsciously look at the goal, but Van der Sar couldn't make a judgment in advance, he could almost just watch the ball spin and land quickly, then jump up and rush into the net.

“Goooooooooooooooooal!!!”

"Darren—"

"-Bent-!!"

When the commentator yelled, many people stared blankly at the football in the Manchester United goal.

Just now, they were expecting Manchester United to score another equaliser, and then they could expect Manchester United to complete the comeback and win, but now football is in the United goal.

Manchester United fans fell silent.

They didn't expect City to score another goal, it wasn't the rhythm they imagined, they couldn't accept the score at all, and some United fans even kept rubbing their eyes, praying that the goal they had just seen was just an illusion, and of course, it didn't work at all.

However, Manchester United was not the protagonist of the scene, the vast majority of Cardiff local fans are the dominant ones, when they saw Darren Bent's goal, many neutral fans who were cheering for Manchester United's goal immediately changed their banners to cheer for Manchester City's goal.

Together, they add the Manchester City fans enough to make the cries of Cardiff's Millennium Stadium resound.

The audience turned into a sea of cheers! (To be continued......)
