Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 346 Writing Brilliance With Victory

During the intermission, Manchester United coach Ferguson asked the players to do their best to defend in the second half and try to keep the goal.As for the team's offense, he didn't ask for anything, which seemed to be a signal for Manchester United to delay the game.

In fact, Ferguson also thought about playing against Chelsea, but in the face of Chelsea's strong offensive performance, he still gave up this idea. If that is the case, Manchester United may indeed score an away goal at Stamford Bridge , but if you are pulled down by Chelsea for a few goals, the loss outweighs the gain. There are two semi-finals in the League Cup. If Manchester United is eliminated in the first round, it will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole of Europe. This result is definitely not Ferguson and his team. Manchester United can accept.

Therefore, the old jazz did not dare to take this risk.

Of course, Manchester United players still have some resistance to this decision, especially C. Ronaldo, Rooney and Luis Saha have the most resistance, and these three are also the three players with the strongest offensive ability among Manchester United players.

Originally, before the game started, Rooney kept saying to the media that he would have a real contest with Wang Li, but this "real contest" was completely empty talk. In the first half of the game, Rooney was almost completely reduced to A defensive player, although he is also doing very well in this regard, but this is not the contest he wants.

Luis Saha felt ashamed.

"Although this season, our results are not outstanding, but the team is currently in good condition. I think we will win a victory at Stamford Bridge to make the last failure a thing of the past." Saha accepted the media before the game Said so during the interview.But now, the situation on the court is not controlled by Manchester United at all. Even the head coach Ferguson has given up hope of victory, just wanting to defend to leave suspense. This makes Saha, who started as a single center forward, feel incredible.

C. Ronaldo is more unwilling to admit defeat. Although the Portuguese boy also agrees that Wang Li is stronger than him, he feels that Manchester United's overall offense is not necessarily worse than Chelsea. have a chance to win.As the most popular new star in Manchester, C. Ronaldo has a persistent pursuit of victory, and he cannot accept a completely defensive game.

It is not uncommon for the three to have these thoughts. The situation of Manchester United in the first half of the game was indeed a bit torturous. Being able to hold the first half was not only due to strength but also some willpower. But think about it here. It's frustrating and really conflicting to have 45 minutes to play in that situation.

But Ferguson has been coaching Manchester United for so many years. He has won countless championships and gained a lot of power. Even David Beckham was sold to Spain because of his disobedience, let alone them. Therefore, even if they were a little dissatisfied, they did not Dare to have objections.The same goes for C. Ronaldo. Anyway, C. Ronaldo and Rooney are both newcomers to Manchester United. Although Saha has stayed for a long time, because he is a glass man, he is often in the game. Injured, it is difficult to stand firm in Manchester United's main position. In this state, he dare not directly oppose Ferguson's opinion.

"The players of the two teams have finally returned to the stadium. I think Manchester United must have made some adjustments during the halftime break. Ferguson will never let the game go on like this." Before the game started, the commentator on the imperial court analyzed it again : "Maybe, Manchester United will explode violently in the opening game. Chelsea should stabilize their defense before they can look for victory."

But Director Zhang next to him disagreed with this opinion. He said bluntly: "If Manchester United really breaks out in a large-scale attack, it will also become an opportunity for Chelsea. The gap between the two teams in attack is obvious. The game is likely to end in 10 minutes in the second half. I think Manchester United should stabilize first, if they attack rashly, they are likely to lose the game."

"But Director Zhang, the gap between the two teams is not that big, why can Chelsea completely suppress Manchester United!?"

"But the current situation is like this. Chelsea's offensive ability is stronger than Manchester United. If Manchester United wants to enter the final, the best way is to delay the score and leave the suspense to Old Trafford."

During the debate between the two on the imperial court and the expectations of all the fans, the second half of the game finally started.

To the disappointment of all the Red Devils fans, the form still did not develop in the direction they expected, and the football was still rolling around in Manchester United's half, always affecting their hearts.Manchester United was almost defending as hard as they could. Because they invested too little force in the offense, the offense was not smooth. In the first 10 minutes, Manchester United only had a long-range shot and was shot by winger C. Ronaldo. .

On the other hand, the Chelsea team is still strong. Under the guidance of Wang Li, the team's offense is very sharp. Although Manchester United's defensive performance is in place, Chelsea's chances of scoring are not many, but at least in form, Chelsea Take the absolute initiative.

In the No.17 minute of the second half, seeing Manchester United's form getting worse and worse, Chelsea's shots gradually increased. In desperation, Ferguson replaced the poor defensive center Luis with the Cameroon international Djemba who was good at defense. . Saha.

What is the significance of this substitution, everyone is very clear-Manchester United completely gave up offense! !

Because of this substitution, the entire Stamford Bridge suddenly burst into violent boos. The performances of Chelsea fans and Manchester United fans were surprisingly consistent at this moment, but the moods of the two were different. The Blues fans booed proudly. The sound, while the Red Devils fans booed dissatisfied, they could not stand the 'great Manchester United' actually give up the attack.

Indeed, Manchester United's performance in the last two games has disappointed these fans-first losing to an amateur team, and then playing like this at the Stanford Aerodrome.

This seems to announce the decline of Manchester United this season, but the head coach Ferguson is even more helpless. He can't think of how to break Chelsea's tactics now, and he only makes such adjustments to strengthen the team's defense. Anyway However, competitive games still focus on results. As long as Manchester United moves back to the score at Old Trafford and enters the League Cup final, then everyone will forget about this game.

For the sake of performance, Ferguson had to do this. No matter how bad the process was, it was better than being defeated by Chelsea by a big score.

Luis Saha was in a very bad mood when he was substituted. He ignored his teammate Djemba who was about to play. After receiving the coat handed over by the assistant coach, he sat on the bench with a sullen face and a sullen expression. Watching the game on the pitch.And Ferguson will not try to appease him. Now that the old Jazz has been troubled by how to crack Chelsea's tactics, and has been worrying about the situation on the field, how can he be in the mood to pay attention to him! ?
Djemba. Djemba is a midfielder of Cameroon nationality, but he has lived in France since he was a child. The Ligue [-] team Nantes is the first stop of his career. From here, his football career The start is much better than the average player.As a midfielder, Djemba's abilities are very comprehensive. He can play well both as a defensive midfielder and a forward midfielder, and Manchester United just needs an all-round substitute.

So, a year and a half ago, Djemba was brought from France to Manchester by Ferguson.

However, Djemba's performance on the court is not satisfactory. His ability is indeed comprehensive, but there is nothing outstanding, which makes his playing time at Manchester United less and less. It is only his 4th appearance, which is evident.

However, Djemba's interception ability in the midfield is much better than Saha. After he came on the field, Wang Li's offensive pressure was even greater in the middle.

It is a pity that with the physical and mental exhaustion of the players, the performance of the Manchester United team has become weaker and weaker. Although the physical fitness of the Chelsea players has also weakened, Wang Li, who has attacked the entire game, has not changed at all. Both the speed and the mental state are almost the same as at the beginning of the game, which made the Manchester United players who have been responsible for defending him call "abnormal" in their hearts.

But this kind of indifferent scolding is obviously useless, and there will always be mistakes when defending all the time. For Wang Li, who has entered the game state, every small mistake of the opponent may be converted into a goal by him .

The whole game lasted for 74 minutes. Perhaps due to his physical fitness, Scholes made a mistake in his defensive position. He unknowingly went to the left, leaving only Roy Kee to watch Wang Li. En and C. Ronaldo two people, and at this time, although there were a lot of people in the Manchester United penalty area, Wang Li still caught a gap from it.

So, without any scruples, he directly accelerated and threw away Roy Keane. Before C. Ronaldo had time to chase back, he had already dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area. At this time, he had many choices, left and right. And Lampard and Gallas behind can give him effective support.

At this time, almost all the TV broadcasts in the world gave the shots to Wang Li. These reporters seemed to realize that the wonderful shots were coming, and Ferguson stood up suddenly on the sidelines. In this game, Wang Li really There are not too many breakthroughs, and most of them are still cooperating with teammates. Although Manchester United's defense is in place, it is not a good choice to cooperate in a small area in Manchester United's half, but the breakthrough with the ball is even less so. A good choice, for example, after Wang Li broke through to the front, almost all the front positions were surrounded by Manchester United players, and he didn't have any shooting angle at all.

At this moment, Wang Li chose to dribble the ball to the left with a sudden change of direction. This serious twisting action caused C. Ronaldo, who was followed by a mess, to be thrown away directly.

After attracting the attention of most of the players, Wang Li passed the ball directly to Damien Duff who was on the right with a slanted back heel while he was dribbling the ball, while he himself continued to run forward. This made many Manchester United players not notice where the ball went at all, and focused their attention on Wang Li.

So, Damien Duff got his chance, and the Irishman kicked the ball towards the small penalty area line without hesitation.

Only Phil Neville defended the Côte d'Ivoire Warcraft, suddenly accelerated to throw Neville away, and directly volleyed against the incoming ball! !

However, goalkeeper Howard fell to the ground to catch the ball in a flash of inspiration this time, and the football was saved by him like this, which made all the fans in the audience scream in unison, and the sound of the Blues fans celebrating the goal was directly stuck in the air. down the throat.

However, this is not over. At the moment Howard threw the ball, Wang Li was already running towards the goal with lingering steps. Naturally, his purpose was to fear that the ball would be saved, but this time he did not It gave him a good chance. After Howard flicked his hands, the football just rolled to Wang Li's feet.

At this moment, the big "21" number behind Wang Li even made the Manchester United players who followed closely behind them vent their footsteps. Yes, they have already thought of the ending, and it is difficult for the black-haired boy with the number 21 to make mistakes.

And the goalkeeper Howard, can only half lie on the ground and watch the football fly into the net very lightly——
"Goooooooooooooooooal!!!!"

"Wang Li!! Wang Li!! Wang Li scored Chelsea's second goal with this supplementary shot. It's so beautiful!!! Wang Li is so good, this kick almost beat Manchester United directly Into the abyss, the goal they defended the whole game was pierced again. Now the score is 2:0, at Stamford Bridge, Manchester United is doomed to return!!!”

"Maybe, this is not the end. There are still 10 minutes in the game. According to this form, it is possible for Chelsea to score another goal. I hope they can perform better."

In fact, Wang Li didn't feel too excited about scoring this goal, but felt very refreshed! !Yes, very refreshing! !

Facing a mid-table team in the Premier League is completely different from defending against a top Premier League team. Throughout the game, he kept running, playing, and looking for opportunities, but he failed to penetrate the gate of Manchester United. Now he finally played. Scoring a goal is as if his own hard work has succeeded. Maybe he is numb to scoring now, but he still feels very refreshed about this kind of goal obtained through hard work.

On the court, Wang Li raised his fist high and signaled to the Blues fans. Almost all the fans in the auditorium responded loudly at the same time. They saw the confident black-haired boy on the court, and they felt a sense of confidence for no reason. I am confident that the Blues will be able to win various championships this season! !

Although the feeling of scoring goals is good, in fact Chelsea did not celebrate for a long time, because the task assigned by Mourinho is to score more goals. A battle is obviously not what the team wants to see. You know, they have to face Barcelona next month, so they don't have much energy to deal with the weak game of the League Cup.

After Chelsea celebrated the goal, Ferguson also asked for a substitution. He used Gary Neville, who had always been mediocre, to replace Scholes, who was physically weak. The defender was replaced by an avant-garde. Obviously, the old Jazz still wanted to strengthen Defense, perhaps the 2-0 score for Manchester United is not the worst outcome, they still have the possibility to recover at home.

In this case, in order not to be complained by Ferguson and fans after the game, the Manchester United players tried their best to defend, so in the final stage of the game, although Chelsea played hard, they still failed to find anything good. Opportunities, this makes the competition very intense, but it is not worth seeing.

In the end, Chelsea defeated the visiting Manchester United team 2:0 at their home court, and gained some advantages in the semi-finals of the League Cup, and this score was roughly the same as many media expected before the game.

However, anyone who has watched the game will feel that there is a big gap between the score and the game process. No one would have thought that Manchester United did not show the momentum of the European giants at all. Instead, they were defending throughout the game. While disdainful, it also allowed other European giants to see Chelsea's terrifying offensive ability. Perhaps after the game, many head coaches had to think about how they would defend against Chelsea's level of offense! ?
The Chelsea team is still somewhat dissatisfied with this result, but in any case, they also have an absolute advantage. The next time they face Manchester United, their mentality will definitely be different, so many players feel that the tickets for the League Cup final have been sold out. It is firmly in Chelsea's hands.

This made many players hug each other and celebrate at the end of the game. Although they have gone through too many victories this season, it still makes people feel so excited to win against a team like Manchester United.

Chelsea is not what it used to be.

At this time, the big shot of the sports channel of the court TV station in the ancient eastern country was also cut to Wang Li. At this time, Wang Li was wiping the sweat on his face with his jersey, and walked towards the player tunnel with a smile on the corner of his mouth. , full of masculine temperament, completely covered up his slightly immature face, making people really feel that this is a brave and fearless fighter fighting in the arena.

"Although only one goal was scored in this game, the best player in this game is none other than Wang Li. He really performed really well. Who said Chinese people can't play football well? Look at Wang Li Well, he is now the best player in the entire Premier League without a doubt, and has been the best player in the Premier League for several months in a row, this is the result of hard work, I hope to see our football players can also be like these European players Let's study, train hard, put everything in football and you will succeed!!"

On the sports channel of Chaoting TV, Wang Li's face became the final picture, and Director Zhang's comments became the soundtrack of this picture, which left a deep impression on the lovely fans of the ancient oriental country.

And the on-site commentator Creed was not willing to be lonely. He bluntly praised the Stamford Bridge Stadium: "In this home, we defeated Manchester United, Liverpool, and Porto and other teams. Barcelona, ​​AC Milan and other top giants in Europe, we will use the victory to write the glory of Chelsea, and now I am very much looking forward to the game against Barcelona!!"
