Chapter 259: Immediate Results!
As time goes by, you can see that Manchester City's performance is getting better and better.
Every player is working the field, and the tactics of the whole team have gradually played routines, passing to each other, supplementing the position of defensive interception, especially the control of football and the control of the rhythm of the game, as soon as the tactical power is highlighted, they gradually find their advantage.
When Manchester City regained their advantage, Manchester United lost the advantage, and the two teams had equal data in terms of possession and number of attacks on the field, and the two teams also formed a half-and-half situation in the game situation.
Manchester City's advantage is that they have a fairly stable grip on football!
Maybe Manchester United's attack is more direct, more penetrating, but they still have to have a headache for Manchester City's possession, whenever Manchester City gets the ball, they want to get the ball back, it depends on the opportunity, Manchester City rarely has a hasty pass in the backfield, even if Manchester United's snatching of the midfield is very fierce and decisive, but Manchester City players are very stable to cooperate, they are already very skilled in tactics, there are players in the backfield when they get the ball, they don't even need to look carefully, they generally know where their teammates stand, this grasp of the team's formation, As far as Manchester City's biggest reliance on cooperation is concerned, it is very difficult for Manchester United to make effective interceptions in the center and front.
After effectively controlling football, Manchester City also stepped up their direct attack!
Without Morris in midfield, David Silva became a key player, but it was difficult for him to fully replace Morris, with City's two wings playing more actively.
The two full-backs are Ivan Crewe and David Beckham.
Ivan Crewe is also a good individual and is more adept at working with his team-mates. Or he cut in front and looked for opportunities, and the left wing-back is not a position he is very good at, so in this game. The team didn't attack much from the left.
It's a different story on the right.
With David Beckham coming on the pitch, the right flank was fully active, and a lot of the time, when Beckham dribbled across the halfway line, the Reds defence was a little nervous, and they weren't sure if Beckham would be able to deliver such a dangerous long pass, but one thing was certain. On the wing just past the halfway line, it was too far from the goal and there was too much room to play. They will be powerless to intercept it.
After the performance just now, Beckham has become the focus of the whole game.
Maybe he's been the focus since he appeared, but the difference is that he was the focus because of his name. And now it's because of his play.
David Beckham has become the most dangerous player for Manchester United's defence!
Every time Beckham was involved in the attack. will receive all kinds of attention, almost all commentators can't do without his name when analyzing the game, all fans can't help but look at the figure on the right side when they pay attention to Manchester City's attack, many people have expectations, many people disdain in their hearts, but they also look at the past.
Ferguson previously thought Beckham's long pass was just luck. But now it's different, one play. It can indeed be described as luck, but it can't be said to be luck if you continue to play well.
This is a real performance!
Beckham on the pitch is in great shape now!
In Manchester City's continuous attack, Beckham has been able to play every time, not every attack, he can be a key man, but he is active on the pitch, often cooperates with his teammates, and occasionally stands out, all of which are combined to be the performance of the world's top superstars.
"David! Direct pass! ”
"David Beckham! He's moving forward with the ball! ”
'Beckham hoisted the ball down the middle and Silva caught it! Golden opportunity! Oh, it's a pity......"
"Let's look at this ...... again"
As the commentator shouted, everyone noticed the right side of the Manchester United penalty area, where Beckham received a pass, and Brown behind him had no time to defend, so Beckham calmly got up and hoisted the ball in front of the small penalty area, where there was a mess.
A player in the home team's light blue jersey leapt from the ground, half a head above the defender next to him, and then he shook his head vigorously, and the ball hit his head before turning straight towards the goal.
Van der Sar was standing on the right, too late to defend and could only watch the ball fly into the net from the other side.
――――
"Darren Bent-!!"
“Gooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!”
After a burst of frequent roars, the live broadcast commentator Belbart said excitedly, "Now in the 62nd minute of the game, Darren Bent received a pass from David Beckham, shook his head and sent the ball directly into the goal, helping Manchester City recover a goal!" ”
“1:2! 1:2! We're only one ball away, and we still have time! ”
This goal gave Manchester City fans hope!
With 60 minutes to go, the team was still two goals behind, and even the most optimistic Manchester City fans felt that the team's hope of equalizing was slim, even if the team performed well, so what? The main time is too little...... But now it's different, the team is chasing back a goal, only going one goal down, a goal can happen at any time, and hopefully their hopes of getting back the score are much higher.
So all the Manchester City fans at the scene cheered to their heart's content!
They are even more excited than seeing the team win, and for many fans, a big win is a victory, but it's just a few more goals, and it's not as good as finding hope when you're behind.
This glimmer of hope may allow the team to tie the score and rewrite the result!
While the fans were celebrating, the Manchester City players on the pitch were also very excited, and like the fans, they also found 'hope'. At the end of the first half, they thought they were going to lose the game, but now they feel they still have a chance, just one goal away, and with the team's performance, they have a good chance to catch up.
A desperate person finds the dawn of hope, and that feeling is the best!
Everybody's face was excited, everybody was looking forward to it, everybody's excited to score a goal, to be the player who scored the goal. The same goes for Darren Bent, who, in fact, is the most thrilled of them all. And not just because of his goals, but because he hasn't scored for the team for a long time.
In the 21st round of the league against West Ham United, Darren Bent was injured, and it took more than half a month to recover from his recovery, but after his return, Anelka has been firmly in the starting position. And he performed quite well, so he could only wait for an opportunity on the bench, and he didn't show much form on an occasional appearance.
Before this game. Anelka was injured and he had his chance.
Darren Bent is well aware that this is a rare opportunity before the end of the season. Especially in the Manchester derby. In this kind of game that has attracted the attention of the world, if he can perform well, then he will definitely play no less time until the end of the league.
On the other hand, when Anelka is injured and can't help the team, he can't perform well, so when Anelka recovers from injury, he wants to play a lot of minutes. We'll have to wait until next season.
He can't wait!
He needs to prove himself with form and performance!
For a striker at the front of the formation, the best way to prove himself is to score goals. Now he helps the team score a goal and gives the team hope of equalising.
This goal is worth a fortune!
So Darren Bent was quite excited after scoring the goal, but he didn't forget the person who created the opportunity for himself - David Beckham, in the past, Darren Bent had a respectful attitude towards David Beckham, when he was young, he grew up listening to Beckham's name, the two are now in the team, but not very close, but now Darren Bent can't care so much, he ran directly to Beckham and hugged each other.
"Thank you! David! The pass just now was so beautiful! ”
David Beckham was also pleased.
He's a veteran and a superstar of English football, and he's always a bit of a boss in the team, but he doesn't like that feeling and enjoys the intimacy with his team-mates, especially after scoring goals and assisting, and he wants to celebrate with his team-mates.
So the Manchester City players hugged on the pitch.
They didn't celebrate long though, because the team was still behind the score and they had to hurry up and catch it up!
Soon everyone was back in their positions and ready to kick off again.
――――
At this time, the talk was still more about David Beckham.
When David Beckham played, everyone felt that the current superstar of England would be difficult to help Manchester City recover the score, after all, Manchester United has a two-goal lead, in addition, Beckham is also 31 years old, he did not have any outstanding performance in Real Madrid, after joining Manchester City, although the performance is good, but compared with the original state in Manchester United, there is still a big gap.
The proof is that David Beckham has been outstanding and not the most prominent in the Manchester City squad.
In the last few league games, Manchester City's standout players have been Anelka and Morris.
Anelka is spelled out by scoring goals one by one. In the last 30 rounds, the Frenchman has scored 21 goals in the league and firmly occupies the first position in the Premier League scorers list this season, five goals higher than the second-place Drogba who plays for Chelsea, and eight goals higher than the third-place McCarthy who plays for Blackburn, which is really eye-catching and makes him one of the most talked-about players for Manchester City; 'Manchester City's No. 3 firepower point', a total of 12 goals in the league and the Champions League, is enough to show Morris's state ability, in addition, Morris is also the absolute core of Manchester City, just like the commentary of the sports section of The Sun, "Morris has raised the overall strength of Manchester City by a notch", "French Football" believes that Morris will almost definitely be nominated for the annual Ballon d'Or, and will also be nominated for the best player in the Premier League this season.
Anelka and Morris are Manchester City's best performers, in addition, in the Manchester City team, David Silva, Ivan Crewe and other players have also performed well, Beckham's 'excellent' can only be compared to these players.
There are a lot of such players on the field, so what about one more David Beckham?
Therefore, the media are not optimistic that Beckham can help Manchester City change the situation, or even turn the tide, but now the focus of the whole game is on Beckham alone, media reporters, players of the two teams, coaches, and fans in the audience, as long as they are watching the game carefully, they must pay attention to Beckham, because everyone can see that the best performance on the field now is Beckham, and the goal of Manchester City just now is also Beckham's direct assist.
Beckham's performance can already affect the final result of the game!
Sky TV, BBC Radio, CCTV Live, and even the live broadcast of Belbart almost all sighed, "Beckham's appearance was immediate, he regained Manchester City's confidence, and the performance of the whole team also went up a notch, and now Manchester United have a goal advantage, but they need to pay more attention to limiting Beckham if they want to win......
――――
In front of the Manchester City coach's box, Wan Sheng was standing on the sidelines.
City celebrated a bit when Darren Bent scored, but it wasn't very hot because they were still behind and every second of the game was important to the team.
But Wan Sheng was still very excited when he saw the goal, as evidenced by his clenched fists.
It was not only the goal that made him happy, but also the confidence and form that the team had regained, and with this fighting spirit, the team as a whole was getting better and better.
The loss of two of their best players on the bench and the fact that they were on par with United's full squad is enough to prove that the team is in excellent form, which is even better than Wan Sheng imagined.
In comparison, Beckham's assist for Darren Bent's goal is actually nothing.
Is David Beckham in good form?
This is the reason for Wan Sheng, so he is not surprised at all, but Beckham does not have this kind of performance that will surprise him!
And now, Wansheng is beginning to expect the team to continue to work hard and strive for another goal to recover the score.
Manchester United in the dugout.
Coach Alex Ferguson no longer had the same composure as he had just now, he didn't worry about the game at all, because the team was playing very well, and the opponent, the most dangerous striker Anelka, did not play, and the central playmaker Morris went off injured again, coupled with the two-goal lead, he had little to worry about.
Now it's different.
Manchester City scored, especially with the assist of David Beckham......
Ferguson didn't expect this at all, even if Beckham had a good ball before, he didn't expect it. Unconsciously, he paid more attention to Beckham's performance, so he was surprised to find that he seemed to see the shadow of a few years ago in Beckham, who was already 31 years old.
That's David Beckham at his best!
David Beckham is doing the same thing now...... No, maybe it's better than it was back then, looking at his team-mates on the pitch one by one, passing the amazing distance accurately, this kind of ability, efficiency and confidence, even the former Beckham is rare.
Such a Beckham is fully capable of dominating the final result of the game!
