Chapter 164

Giggs passed two West Ham United players in a row, and the opponent's right back didn't dare to go up to grab it, so he could only keep retreating.

But it is impossible for the Welshman to give him a chance to maneuver and still break forward.

Seeing that Giggs was about to cut into the penalty area again, the right back of West Ham United could only bite the bullet and grab it.

At this time, Giggs, who was already in a state of excitement, immediately pushed to the right, and changed direction to the left at the moment the defender's center of gravity moved.

He passed the right back and cut inside decisively, and West Ham United's goal instantly entered his range.

The central defender of the home team made up immediately, and the right back who was passed by turned around and ran back to the penalty area at this time, assisting the central defender to double-team Giggs.

Seeing that the double-team was about to take shape, Giggs suddenly went to the bottom, and the two defensive players of West Ham United tried hard to keep up with him, but it was of no avail.

Cole ran towards Giggs for the point, brought another defender and their right-back scrambled towards the centre.

Giggs kicked decisively, and when all the West Ham players flocked to the center, they found that the football had passed to the right.

The big, stupid left-back that Keane was talking about ran up to Beckham, who was waiting for an opportunity on the edge of the box.

Once the opponent stops the ball unfavorably, he will immediately rush to destroy the attack.

What surprised him a little was that Beckham let the football stop obediently on the lawn at the first touch.

After Beckham stopped the ball, he quickly went to the bottom, and West Ham United's left back also stepped to keep up.

Seeing his actions, Beckham couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, he was a big fool, and he flew away with one movement.

His bottoming action looks sharp, but he actually only moves forward a short distance to pull the ball back, and then dribbles the ball laterally into the penalty area.

West Ham United's defense was completely messed up. Cole ran laterally and took away two defensive players. Keane's drive from outside the penalty area attracted the attention of two more defensive players.

Regardless of the fact that West Ham United has an advantage in the number of people in the penalty area, they have actually lost their rules. Giggs moved back and took away a central defender. The most dangerous Cantona has only one defender around him.

Beckham aimed a pass at Cole's feet, and this time even the West Ham goalkeeper started to move towards Cole.

Seeing that two West Ham United defenders had wrapped Cole into a sandwich, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the crisis was about to be lifted.

But things are not that simple at all. Beckham suddenly twisted his wrist while passing the ball and kicked the ball to the middle.

At this time, Cantona, who was ambushing in the middle, was still halfway away from the defender. He caught the ball and hit the upper left corner directly.

Before the West Ham United goalkeeper's body had even unfolded, the football went into the goal.

1 is better than 0!

Less than 5 minutes into the game, Manchester United took the lead with Cantona's goal.

This opening was far beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone thought that Manchester United would stabilize the fence at the beginning, avoiding the edge of West Ham United first, and then wait for an opportunity to launch an attack.

Unexpectedly, Manchester United took the lead at the beginning again, and now the pressure has completely shifted to West Ham United.

West Ham United coach Redknapp shook his head helplessly, his players still underestimated the enemy.

He reminded the players before the game that Manchester United is a team that is particularly good at launching blitz battles. Their two sides have the ability to attack with the ball. Once they seize the space, it will become very difficult to defend.

But the players who just defeated Newcastle United obviously didn't listen to his words. They thought that the league leader had just died, and it would be the same thing if they played Manchester United again.

But Newcastle and Manchester United are basically two different teams. Although Newcastle's defense is a bit like the shadow of an Italian team, and their offensive methods are comprehensive, in the final analysis, they are still a traditional English team, attacking fiercely in the middle.

Manchester United is different. They look like a pure English team, and they can actually rely directly on the wing to launch an attack.

If they are a team that relies on crosses, they are lucky to be in the top ten of the league now, just based on the ability of the center forward to waste opportunities.

"Ugh"

Redknapp sighed, and then kept reminding the players: "Don't let them get the ball in the middle!"

At the same time, Ferguson on the other side of the court was also very irritable: "Let's let people study clearly!"

Manchester United led by 1 goal in the away game, but they had no advantage at all on the scene. West Ham United and Manchester United fought desperately in midfield.

Even if they are not as good as Manchester United in terms of technical and tactical ability, they still let the opponent's midfield organization fall into a quagmire under the encouragement of 3 fans.

During the halftime break, Ferguson couldn't sit still: "Boys, congratulations on your successful blitzkrieg. But it's not enough. We must not be kicked by him in the second half. We must be tough with them to the end."

The reason why Ferguson wants players to stand against West Ham United in the midfield is not because he wants to confront his opponents for a while, but because Manchester United's defense is too heart-pounding.

Gary Neville, who is 1 meters tall, has been playing as a central defender for a month. His partner changes almost every game. Manchester United's central defender combination has never been stable this season.

The game continued, West Ham United players launched a crazy counterattack, Beckham had a sense of oppression that he was always in the opponent's range.

Manchester United always dealt with the opponent in the midfield. In the 15th minute of the second half, Phil intercepted the opponent's long pass in the backcourt and passed it to Beckham immediately.

Beckham took a glance and passed to Giggs on the left. The Welshman passed the right back and immediately passed in. Cantona, who was about to grab a point, was suddenly pulled down.

He turned his head to signal the referee, but the referee on duty ignored it. West Ham United passed the ball to the midfield three or two times.

yellow card!

The game restarted, and West Ham's left midfielder knocked down Phil and continued to dribble forward. As a result, Gary Neville, who was defended, shoveled and turned half a circle in the air.

yellow card!

In the next game, Bruce, Cole and Butt successively used tactical fouls in order to interrupt the rhythm of West Ham United. In the second half, Manchester United took 5 yellow cards in less than half an hour.

Seeing that the game progressed to 85 minutes, Manchester United still led West Ham United 1-0.

Philip Neville made a rare pass error at this juncture, sending the ball straight to the West Ham striker on the edge of the box.

The black striker of West Ham United successfully steals the ball and is about to enter the penalty area.

Bart, who was beside him, did not hesitate to shovel the opponent, but unfortunately he shoveled to the opponent's striker.

Two yellows turned into one red, and Manchester United could only play 10 against 11 away.

"Damn it, what is Phil doing!"

Ferguson looked sullenly at the pitch as West Ham's Meat Grinder Dix stood on the edge of the penalty area, and they won a well-positioned free kick directly in front of the penalty area.
