Chapter 430: Battle of Old Trafford (5)
“Goooooooal! Manchester United have scored! Just when we thought Manchester United were going to suffer a heavy defeat at their home turf, Paul Scholes helped the Red Devils pull a point back! The 22-year-old proved that United were not crushed by Fiorentina's previous two goals, and that they are still the same team with a fighting spirit! ”
Seeing his lover pull a point back for his team with a long-range shot, Ferguson shook his fist and shouted at the field: "That's right! Lads! That's it! Do you understand? ”
Gary Neville and Becky, who were closest to Ferguson, nodded hurriedly to show that they understood that in their minds, the old Scottish man was not only the head coach of the team, but also the existence of a teacher and father who led them on the road of football, and they certainly did not dare to refute his words with respect for Ferguson.
Poboski, who was depressed on the bench, kept his head down and remained silent at this time, and after arriving in Manchester, he found that he was not valued by manager Alex Ferguson, and his proud speed was a bit chicken because of the presence of Ryan Giggs, and Beckham, who was in the same position as him, pressed him to the bench with reasonable planning and accurate crosses.
This situation made Poboski a little dissatisfied, and when negotiating with Manchester United, Ferguson vowed that he would give him a main position, but in reality? Not to mention the main force, he didn't even see the shadow of the rotation!
It can only be said that Pobosky, who was in Eastern Europe before, was too naïve, and once he entered the giants, which club would agree to give a player the main position? Of course, except for the famous superstars who spend a lot of money, these people are not normal if they can't get into the main lineup.
Pobosky, who is still just a new star, is obviously not up to the level of a superstar, so he is a matter of course.
Scholes, who scored a goal for the home team, did not run to the sidelines to celebrate the goal, but ran to the goal to scoop the ball out, and then raced to the center circle of the pitch with the ball. He hasn't forgotten that United are still one goal behind Fiorentina at home! Although the time is now close to the end of the first half, Scholes wants to use this gesture to tell his team-mates not to just give up on the game, as long as there is time, the team has hope of winning!
However, Scholes didn't know that his move angered many Fiorentina players: Do you really think that you just scored one of us, and you are so sure that you will score our second goal?
Let you arrogant Englishmen see just how far apart your so-called best team is from Fiorentina!
However, the Fiorentina players were likely to have to wait until the second half, as the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half a few minutes after they had the ball out. Fiorentina went into the second half with a 2-1 lead.
After a fifteen-minute break, the game resumed, and the Fiorentina players, spurred on by Scholes' move, launched a counter-attack immediately after kick-off. However, they were not carried away by the anger and remained unhurried in attack, constantly passing the ball in midfield, hoping to use their own jishu advantage to break through the United defence as they did in the first half.
The United, on the other hand, pressed down in midfield with tireless movement, with Alex Ferguson asking for more drop-backs from Cantona at half-time to assist the midfielders in defence.
There is no doubt about the running ability of Manchester United players, and Premier League teams generally have one thing in common, that is, these players are very capable of running, and Manchester United is no exception, so Redondo, who can calmly organize attacks at the back under the cover of Effenberg in the first half, was repeatedly attacked by Scholes and Cantona after the start of the second half, and had to be forced to speed up the pass, which invisibly increased the difficulty of Fiorentina's attack.
However, with the control of Fiorentina's players, Manchester United's pressing tactics only increased the difficulty of their attack, and the probability of passing errors did not increase much, so Fiorentina still held the initiative on the field.
Ferguson's eyes were a little hot as Fiorentina's players continued to pass the ball and threaten the United door despite being pressed by the Manchester United players – and that's what his side lacked. With the overall quality of Manchester United, they are guaranteed to dominate the Premier League, as they are always able to catch the mistakes of their opponents while keeping the number of mistakes on their side as low as possible.
In Europe, it's not about who can catch the opponent's mistakes faster, but how to make their own side make fewer mistakes...... In this respect, Manchester United's vote for England is too coarse and not delicate enough.
Fans often see Manchester United in the European competition, the scene is vigorous and not the wind is not down, but the opponent is always seized by the opportunity to score, if Manchester United can show absolute control of the game like Fiorentina now, then Ferguson no longer has to worry about his Manchester United will lose in the future European arena!
It seems that the transformation of the team still can't be relaxed, Ferguson looked at the Manchester United players who were led by Fiorentina's pass on the field, sighed in his heart, and secretly made up his mind.
Just as Ferguson was thinking about how to further transform Manchester United, a wide break by Giggs was cut off by Zambrotta, who quickly handed the ball to Redondo, who moved to the middle, and the Argentine prince pretended to pass to Davies, who was picking up the ball after receiving the ball, and immediately pulled the ball and turned around after shaking Scholes, and got rid of Cantona who came up to rush beautifully!
Redondo's move immediately aroused the high vigilance of other Manchester United players, Roy Keane did not rush over to defend Redondo immediately, and he quickly returned to defend with Effenberg as the number one player next to him.
However, just as Keane was retreating, Redondo had already sounded the horn of Fiorentina's attack with a long pass!
Redondo's long ball was very accurate, and the ball flew straight to the edge of the box, and Effenberg and Keane, who had just arrived in position, jumped up at the same time to fight for the flying ball!
At this time, Effenberg's height of 1.88 meters played a crucial role, and the advantage of height allowed him to grab the ball before Keane!
Keane, who was eight centimeters shorter than him, could only make a small move under the German tiger, forcing Effenberg to not control Redondo's long pass well.
Although Effenberg's style is tough, he is not stupid enough to have to go toe-to-toe with his opponent when he has a more choice, only to see his head rub lightly along the trajectory of the ball, and the ball that was already in the falling trajectory bounced again, swept over Pallist, and fell behind the Manchester United defenders!
Ronaldo once again showed his explosive power, starting a step later than Pallist, and he came first to get the ball! Then facing goalkeeper Schmeichel who hadn't had time to attack, the alien directly volleyed in the run!
