Chapter 162 Anger
There was a moment of silence at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, a moment when time seemed to stand still.
The players on the field, the people on the benches of the two teams, the fans in the auditorium, the reporters in the media booth, and all the staff in the stadium, even the fans who were piling up in front of the TV watching the game, everyone, they all stared at them. in the direction of the Manchester United goal.
Many of them had a blank mind, and it was only after this moment that they reacted, followed by joy, loss, and disbelief, and various emotions were also vented.
For the on-site commentator, after the surprise, they must continue their work.
But after being stunned for a while, he stared at the screen but forgot the name of the goal scorer for a while. He has watched the Derby County players several times, but there are still many names that he can't remember, especially the full-back Leighton Bynes, compared with Maurice, Ribery and others, his performance is really good It's not eye-catching, but the on-site commentator is quite experienced. When he found that he couldn't call out the player's name, he immediately let out a long roar--
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
The sound seemed to stop every time, showing the commentator's excitement about the goal, but at the same time, his hands were busy, and after looking for the player list and finding the corresponding number, he stopped shouting. , and then the voice shouted a few times in a row, "Leighton... Bynes! Leiden-Bynes!..."
The Derby County fans in the audience were very fond of this live commentator. He sounded like the purest Derby County fans, and they were so happy for Derby County's goal.
"...Leighton Bynes!"
The commentator took a long breath before finally adjusting his voice and shouting, "Goal scored! Derby County's full-back Leighton Bynes used a long shot to help Derby County score a goal. They 1 :0 ahead of Manchester United!"
At the same time, the media commentators of various TV stations are also explaining the goals for the fans--
"Here is the 2003-2004 season, the English FA Cup final scene. Just now, Derby County teenager Leighton Baines helped Derby County score the first goal. Derby County leads Manchester United by a goal at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff!"
"Goal scored! Leighton Bynes! Derby County ahead!"
"It was a great long-range shot! Leighton Bynes scored. Derby lead Manchester United!"
"Manchester United goalkeeper Howard failed to save the ball, Leighton Baines helped Derby County lead the score, which is really surprising, probably many people did not think that the first goal would be Derby County ..."
"..."
As the TV commentator said, no one thought that Derby County would score the first goal, not Manchester United who attacked the Derby County half!
This is something that many people can't imagine, but this scene really happened right in front of my eyes.
until this time. Many Man Li Na fans stared at this scene with wide eyes. Some of them couldn't believe their eyes, and even suspected that they were dreaming, but the fact is in front of them, the score on the Millennium Stadium scoreboard has been rewritten, the first goal is really Derby County, and the score representing Manchester United is still '0' '.
Derby County fans can't wait to start the carnival!
......
Leighton Bynes didn't expect the ball to actually score. He just plugged in to find an opportunity, just as the coach said. He even thought about going directly to the front court to shoot a goal. Immediately after the shot, I immediately retreated to prepare for defense, but I didn't expect the kick to be quite sensational, with enough power, and the angle was found, and then the football flew into the Manchester United goal.
Until the moment he scored, he couldn't believe it himself.
I scored a goal?
I kicked the ball into the Manchester United goal?
Leighton Bynes was stunned for a moment, and immediately raised his two arms in front of him, with an excited roar, and then he jumped up and waved his fists fiercely. It's like he's insane, but at this moment, everyone can understand him.
Because...he scored!
He scored the ball into the Manchester United goal!
Who can imagine?
A season ago, Leighton Bynes was a very ordinary player at Wigan Athletic. He had just been promoted from the youth team to the first team. Every team has such young players, and often half of them are It's nice to be able to quickly adapt to the professional arena.
Who could have imagined that Leighton Bynes could face Manchester United and score a year later?
Certainly not!
Not to mention scoring the ball into Manchester United's goal, even playing against Manchester United is not easy. After all, Wigan Athletic is only a League One team, and Manchester United is a giant in the top league, but Baines came to Derby County in the summer. Started a step-by-step upward performance, he has a solid main position in the team, performed well in the league, and started in this FA Cup final.
He does a good job defending, occasionally adding assists, and taking the opportunity to score the ball!
If everyone had to choose the best player for Manchester United and Derby County combined so far, it would be Leighton Bynes, who scored the only one of the game Goal, more importantly, he represents the weak Derby County, not the strong Manchester United!
......
Derby County was still celebrating the goal on the field, and many commentators also began to introduce Leighton Baines to the fans.
The names of Derby County players are somewhat unfamiliar to non-Derby County fans.
To say that the most famous player in Derby County is Cahill, who has been in League One for several years. . In addition to Cahill, that is Ribery who performed very well on the sidewalk. The Frenchman's foot skills are enough to make many fans who have watched his game remember the name.
As for Leighton Bynes, it's really unknown.
Defenders are essential for any team, but it is really difficult for defenders to attract the attention of fans. Unless they are always mentioned defensive masters, or their performances are very bright, they will be mentioned twice by the commentator in a game. It is estimated that you call your name when you pass the ball.
So Leighton Bynes can be said to be unknown.
But everyone believed that this goal was enough to make the teenager in his early twenties famous, because this is the FA Cup final. Also because Derby County's opponent is Manchester United!
If Derby do win the game, I'm afraid Leighton Bynes' name will become a household name the next day, and that's the impact of the FA Cup final.
......
Layton Bynes has been overwhelmed by his teammates.
Every teammate ran over to give him a hug, and everyone gave him their best wishes. There was only a smile on Bynes' face at this time. He couldn't stop laughing, and his heart was extremely excited.
This continued until the referee made Derby County ready to restart the game.
But there was still a celebration on the bench.
Wan Sheng embraced everyone, including the assistant coach, team doctor, and substitute players, etc., and everyone else embraced, and everyone was excited to be ahead of Manchester United.
This is a temporary play, but it is also the result of everyone's efforts.
Twenty days. Derby County is getting ready for the game.
Wansheng throws out a new tactic. All players have to adapt to the new tactics, so the assistant coach needs to guide the training, and naturally he must have a deep understanding of the tactics. At the same time, the team doctor and other club staff are also arranging various things for the training of the players, and the whole club is up and down. Everyone is working hard, and because of this, the team is now adapting to the tactics. to exert the power of tactics.
Leighton Baines' goal is said to be a temporary play. But it's also the result of the team's hard work.
Even so, everyone is still very excited. After all, hard work will not necessarily pay off. Temporary performance is also very important. To play against a team like Manchester United, let alone prepare for 20 days, even if you prepare for one or two years, When it comes to the game, it depends on luck if you want to score a goal.
But now their luck seems to be good, and they have reason to be happy.
At the same time they feel proud - everyone said Derby had no chance but we are not ahead yet! ! ?
......
While Derby County cheered, Manchester United manager Ferguson looked gloomy.
He just thought that if the team didn't score a goal for a long time, there would be no problem. The big deal was to make adjustments at halftime, but suddenly Derby County scored a goal. After forty minutes of the game, he naturally knew that Derby County The way to do it -- that is to rely on constant long-range shots, the more shots, the greater the possibility of harvesting.
But Ferguson doesn't think the other side's harvest will come. After all, I haven't heard of any player from Derby County who is good at long-range shots.
But the ball went in all of a sudden...
This made him feel a burning pain in his cheeks. Fortunately, no one else knew what he was thinking, but just being behind the score also made Ferguson intolerable.
His Manchester United, meeting the young Chinese's Derby County, actually fell behind?
Not to mention the other, just face is not enough... He is the coach of Manchester United, a big man in England, and the other side? A hairy boy.
It would be fine if the two didn't know each other, but the key point was that the two were very conflicted.
After two contacts, Ferguson was very angry with Wan Sheng. He originally wanted to teach this young man who didn't know how to respect his predecessors during the game, but he didn't think that he seemed to be taught a lesson now?
Therefore, at this moment, Ferguson's face was gloomy and terrible.
It was like a harbinger of a storm to come. The Manchester United substitutes next to him, even the assistant coach, didn't dare to speak when they looked at Ferguson. Ferguson has absolute majesty at Manchester United, and no one dared to annoy him. Now he has Annoyed, no one dared to speak.
Fortunately, Ferguson's irritation was not directed at them.
Ferguson is very clear in his heart that the current situation is caused by the team's inability to adapt to Derby County's tactics. This is not to say that Manchester United can't play Derby County, but the game is different from what he imagined. Derby County, the whole team also watched some Derby County game videos, but now this Derby County team is completely different from what he said.
He had thought Derby would continue to play with 'attack football'.
But obviously he guessed wrong.
He couldn't imagine why a team that had always been good at playing 'offensive football' could change its tactical style in such a short period of time and play quite well. He also admitted in his heart that this was the ability of the young Chinese, but He still felt annoyed when the truth was in front of him.
It's an annoyance of being humiliated by an opponent...
But he is Ferguson, the 'godfather' of Manchester United. The team he leads is Manchester United. It is impossible to do anything because of this goal. It is just a goal. He believes that the team can still recover.
The only regret is that there is not much time left in the first half.
It could only be the second half.
......
After Derby County scored, it was already forty minutes in the first half, and the first half was almost over. After the restart of the game, Manchester United tried to make a few waves to find opportunities, but Derby County's defense was very tight, and they were still blocked by this This kind of defense caused a headache, and as a result, the continuous attack failed to find an opportunity.
The first half ended with 1:0.
Players from both teams returned to the locker room.
The expressions of the players of the two teams were completely different. The players from Derby County walked off the pitch laughing, and some people were excited about the goal. The whole team showed a happy and relaxed atmosphere; the Manchester United players said nothing. , they walked slowly off the field. In fact, many players have a headache when they think of the manager. Every Manchester United player is afraid of Ferguson's roar. It's really terrifying, but they have to face it. It’s like going to the execution ground. Thinking about the fact that they were one goal behind the opponent in the first half, and the opponent was a League One team like Derby County. , every player is ready for it all.
After the players of the two teams went off the court, various media also talked about the game.
What they said was nothing more than the goal of Leighton Baines in the first half, and they were also surprised by the current score. Some professional commentators or guests talked about Derby County's defensive tactics.
For example, Lineker, a guest invited by Sky TV, is a legend in England and has been engaged in football commentary since his retirement.
"In the first half, we could see that Derby's defense was doing well, their formation was a bit messy, but the defense was well divided, it was like a zone defense, but obviously the young manager of Derby County carried out the tactic. Some improvements, they use the constant running to make up for the lack of individual ability of the players..."
"...so when Manchester United players come up front, they are likely to face two, or even more players, and they will lose the ball if they are not careful..."
"...Anyway, Derby's defence was very successful."
This kind of commentary is very professional, but most fans don't care about tactics or anything. What they care about is the score, the viewing experience, and the final result. Derby County unexpectedly leads Manchester United, making them all Very interested, they were talking about the situation of Derby County and the famous players in Derby County during the break.
A 15-minute half-time break was enough for them to gain a temporary understanding of Derby County. (To be continued ~^~)
