No. [311] Round: Internal problems of the Red Devils Manchester United
With a bang, Kevin Phillips, who rushed up, hit the ball with a hard kick.
The ball immediately went like a cannonball and whistled towards the United goal.
The faces of the Manchester United fans at the scene changed all of a sudden, becoming a little gloomy, a little surprised, and a little uneasy.
In front of goal, Van der Sar waited quietly like a speeding cobra, watching his prey, waiting for the chance to strike a fatal blow.
When the football flew over, Van der Sar suddenly launched, like an eagle soaring in the sky, launched a rapid blow, flew out of the side of his body, and slapped the football out of the bottom line with one palm.
"Wow, a magical pounce, Van der Sar! When you are old, you will be strong, and your majesty will not be reduced back then! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor immediately shouted.
Bang Bang Bang!
The Manchester United fans immediately gave a round of applause to Edwin van der Sar, the patron saint of the Manchester United team, and the fans at the scene also shouted Van der Sar's name and cheered for him.
Birmingham fans sighed in disappointment, which was a pity.
"The attack of the Birmingham team made our eyes shine, and almost everyone's attention was on Dongfang Chen, but at this time, Dongfang Chen passed the football out, but unfortunately Kevin Phillips's shot did not break through Van der Sar's ten fingers, corner!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said,
Yes, corners, Birmingham got a corner.
Sebastian Larsson immediately went to the corner and he was going to take the spot.
The likes of Dongfang Chen and James Collins immediately rushed into the Manchester United penalty area to fight for the corner.
Seeing Dongfang Chen and others walking in, the defenders of the Manchester United team immediately became vigilant, and Ferdinand immediately walked to Dongfang Chen's side, personally protecting Dongfang Chen, and never leaving.
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson showed Rio Ferdinand the Birmingham City and Chelsea matches, and he mainly showed Ferdinand how John Terry defended the East.
It can be said that Terry is by far the most successful defender in defending Dongfang Chen, there is no one, he let Dongfang Chen have no chance in the penalty area, and reduced his danger to the ground to the minimum.
However, Terry still didn't completely target Dongfang Chen, he still allowed Dongfang Chen to score two goals.
In fact, these two goals conceded have nothing to do with Terry, Dongfang Chen has withdrawn from the penalty area far away, of course Terry will not follow Dongfang Chen to rush out too far, otherwise this penalty area will be over.
So, overall, Terry has been very successful in defending Dongfangchen, and Alex Ferguson hopes this will give Ferdinand a hint that he can keep a good eye on Dongfangchen.
Now Ferdinand is close to Dongfang Chen like Terry, not giving Dongfang Chen any space,
Dongfang Chen could feel the pressure that Ferdinand put on him, but the pressure that Ferdinand put on Dongfang Chen was less than the pressure that Terry gave him.
The current Ferdinand's frontal defensive ability is very strong, but in other aspects, Ferdinand's defensive ability has decreased a lot, especially when turning, or fighting speed, Ferdinand can't follow Dongfang Chen at all, Ferdinand is definitely going to be completely exploded by Dongfang Chen.
Therefore, now Dongfang Chen is still very confident in breaking through Ferdinand's defense.
It was then that Birmingham's Sebastian Larsson curled the ball into the United penalty area, and it flew straight to the back of the box.
The moment the football flew out, Dongfang Chen rushed out with Ferdinand towards the front point, attracting Manchester United's defenders away and creating opportunities for James Collins at the back point.
The ball flew straight to the back post, and James Collins immediately jumped high and was ready to shake his head at the ball. However, at this time, a man appeared in front of him, and Vidic jumped high and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.
"Break the siege! Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic cleared. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shouted loudly, and the United fans immediately cheered in excitement.
However, the football flew directly to Ji Chengyong outside the penalty area, and the cheers of the Manchester United team at the scene immediately turned into empty sounds.
"Send Chengyong, shoot from a distance!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor shouted loudly.
Ji Chengyong did not stop the ball, and directly volleyed with his legs, and the football immediately shot towards the Manchester United goal, which scared the Manchester United, but the football was high above the crossbar.
Manchester United fans were immediately relieved. But this time the Birmingham team's attack still gave Manchester United a great sense of crisis, especially Ji Chengyong's final supplementary shot, which was just a little higher, and it was really hanging just now.
At the beginning of the game, the Birmingham team took advantage of the home advantage to attack wildly, which exceeded Manchester United's expectations and caught Manchester United a little off guard. Now, though, the Reds are getting used to it.
It's a bit of a shame for the Birmingham team, they were trying to get a start, they started well and they didn't get it right, they didn't get the goal.
The Birminghamians now know that the rest of the game will be very difficult for Birmingham.
Before the game, the Birminghames were saying that Manchester United were no surprise and that they were able to beat them comfortably. But none of them thought that way in the game, they knew how good the Manchester United people were, they were very cautious and didn't dare to be careless at all.
Goalkick, Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar kicked the ball out with a big kick, and the ball immediately flew to the Birmingham half, to the edge of the Birmingham team's penalty area.
Berbatov jumped high for the top, but the ball was pushed out by the bald head of James Collins behind him.
The football fell directly to the feet of Ji Chengyong, who was holding the ball with his back, and when Ji Chengyong was about to turn around, he stretched out a kick from behind him and stabbed the football away, and then Rooney rushed out from behind him and chased after the football.
Ji Chengyong was shocked and immediately reached out to pull Rooney, but unfortunately he didn't pull it down.
When Rooney broke the ball, Berbatov immediately turned and stepped forward. Berbatov's turn was quick, quickly overtaking James Collins, and Berbatov was so happy that he immediately raised his hand to signal Rooney to pass the ball, and as soon as Rooney passed the ball, he was confident that he could send the ball into the Birmingham goal.
However, Rooney, who caught up with the football, did not choose to pass the ball, and Zhi directly hit the football fiercely, and volleyed about 30 meters from the goal.
"Rooney's long-range shot!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately shouted excitedly.
The Manchester United fans immediately jumped up from their positions, their eyes glued to the flying football, and their hearts were praying.
In front of goal, Birmingham goalkeeper Joe Hart was about to make a sideways pounce, but when he saw the ball slightly above the crossbar, he gave up and sure enough, the ball went slightly over the crossbar.
Oops, the Manchester United fans at the scene immediately erupted into a strong burst of regret, this goal is really a pity.
"The ball went over the crossbar and Rooney was almost unlucky!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor immediately said that he also felt sorry for Rooney, just a little bit.
Berbatov was very uncomfortable, he had just gotten a very good position, as long as Rooney took the opportunity to send the football over, he could face Joe Hart and go to the meeting alone.
Berbatov was in a bad mood, and he immediately turned around and shouted at Rooney: "Pass! You should pass the ball, I'm already in the air, don't you know the one-shot ball? ”
Berbatov was very dissatisfied with Rooney's choice, and he had the idea that Dongfang Chen must be pressed under him, so he couldn't help it and shouted at Rooney.
Rooney, on the other hand, didn't have a bird, Berbatov, turned around and walked back towards his own half.
Rooney doesn't like Berbatov very much, this guy is very lazy in the game, he doesn't participate in defense at all in the front court, he doesn't press, he walks slowly wherever he is, he rushes when he has the opportunity, and if he doesn't have a chance, he is directly invisible.
Rooney is quite unhappy with Berbatov's attitude towards football, if Berbatov doesn't rob, his workload in the front court will increase, and a lot of pressing is useless, which makes Rooney very unhappy to see Berbatov.
Berbatov saw that Rooney didn't pay attention to him, and he was also angry in his heart, what are you dragging? It's you who wasted the opportunity, are you justified?
Berbatov was very unconvinced, and immediately rushed up, rushed to Rooney's side, and said to Rooney: "Pass! You should have passed the ball just now, and I was in the air, a one-on-one chance! ”
Rooney didn't look at Berbatov at all, and said lightly: "I'm in a good position, I have a chance to shoot, I don't think there's anything wrong with me shooting?" ”
After Rooney finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Berbatov at all, didn't give Berbatov a chance to speak at all, and turned around and left.
Seeing Rooney leave like this, Berbatov was full of anger in his heart, and directly shook his hand to vent the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart.
Berbatov felt that he was no longer interested in staying in Manchester United, the manager of the team did not agree with him, and the players of the team did not agree with him, which made Berbatov feel very bad and had the idea of leaving Manchester United.
Berbatov glared at Rooney sharply, then turned and went straight into the game.
Dongfang Chen was a little surprised when he looked at this scene, he didn't expect that the problems within the Manchester United team would be so big, and it seemed that they were already beginning to be put on the surface.
The fans in the stands couldn't hear what Berbatov and Rooney were saying, and they thought they were discussing how to attack next, so they didn't take it to heart.
However, the manager of Manchester United on the sidelines, Alex Ferguson, saw this qiē in his eyes, his brows furrowed tightly, he did not expect such a scene to break out in the game, which must have been very bad for the game.
At this time, Joe Hart drove the goal kick, Ferdinand pushed the ball out, the ball fell to the feet of Rooney, Rooney immediately passed the ball to the wing, Valencia on the side immediately stepped forward, caught up with the football, and then directly crossed the ball into the Birmingham team's penalty area.
Dimitar Berbatov jumped high and tried to head the ball into goal, but James Collins' bald head ruined his good thing, and James Collins headed the ball out of the box, and the ball fell to Kevin Boateng's feet.
Kevin Boateng took the ball and turned, and Rooney rushed up again and made a successful steal.
Rooney once again volleyed from the edge of the penalty area, ignoring Dimitar Berbatov's request and the ball raced towards the Birmingham goal.
This time the soccer was not high, but the soccer ball flew directly into Joe Hart's arms, and the soccer ball was confiscated.
