Chapter 164 Adjustment

Every Manchester United player hopes that the team can tie the score as soon as possible, so they can breathe a sigh of relief, after all, the advantage of the situation alone can not win the game, so far they are still behind.

But they already felt the goal was in sight.

During this period of time, Manchester United's offense continued to create threats. The only thing they lacked was to seize an opportunity. Each of them is a famous star, and their ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal is naturally not bad.

Although the Derby County players defended very hard, it was still difficult to fully defend against Manchester United's attack, and finally they conceded the ball.

In the 61st minute of the game, C Ronaldo passed Scholes diagonally, the latter knocked back to Roy Keane with his heel, Keane took the ball and hoisted the ball directly to the left side of the penalty area, and found Fan - in the penalty area. Ni's point, this time the Dutch striker played to tell everyone with his performance that his title of 'King of the penalty area' was kicked out by strength.

Facing the defense of Alfred and Rousey, Van Nier first made a move to stop the ball with his foot. This extremely realistic move missed Alfred, and he subconsciously wanted to grab the ball. , but Van Nistelrooy suddenly turned around, following the direction of the football, his body also turned to face the goal, and then he hooked the ball with his right foot, turned his back to Lu Xi, and directly completed a volley in the face of goalkeeper Oakes.

This shot was less than ten meters away from the goal. Even if Osman reacted quickly, it was too late. He could only watch the football fly from one side without even making a save.

The ball is in!

"Goal! Goal! Fan—"

"—Nistrui—" the commentator chanted the goal while calling out Van Nistelrooy's name, "Van Nisti helped Manchester United equalize the score! The two teams fought 1:1 and returned to the same On the starting line!"

......

Derby County's goal was lost in the 61st minute.

Although the team developed new defensive tactics, the effect was not bad, but when Manchester United made targeted tactical adjustments, coupled with them, they were much stronger than Derby County. Derby County still failed to keep the goal.

This time it was also related to Alfred's mistake. He defended Van Nistelrooy and was deceived by a fake move. As a result, there was a gap with Rousey's defense against Van Nistelrooy, which gave the Netherlands a chance to shoot. But it's not all Alfred's fault. After all, he is still young, he has only played in the professional league for one season, and he has never had the experience of defending a top scorer like Van Nistelrooy with a team like Manchester United.

In the face of Van Nistelrooy, Alfred seemed too immature.

Alfred was annoyed.

He thought Ruud van Nistelrooy was going to stop the ball, but he didn't expect the opponent to turn around to meet the ball. This action completely deceived him. It was too late for him to turn around. As a result, the defense between him and Lu Xi was broken, and Lu Xi failed to restrain Van Nistelrooy's shot on the other side.

The only thing he could do was turn his head and watch Van Nistelrooy finish his shot and watch the ball fly into his own goal.

Alfred felt very annoyed, and at the same time felt a little sorry for the team and Wansheng. Before the game, he swore to keep the penalty area, but now he has let everyone down.

He felt depressed.

On the other side, Van Nistelrooy was already celebrating a goal. He raised his arms and shouted, and only hugged his teammates.

But that's all. Manchester United's celebration was not very intense, maybe it was natural for them to see this goal, what's more, as Manchester United, playing against Derby County, the result is only a tie now, which makes them shameless to celebrate.

In their opinion, it is worth celebrating the big lead over Derby County.

But the importance of this goal is unquestionable.

Derby County has been performing well and took the lead in the first half, while Manchester United has been attacking in the second half. If they can't score in a short time and tie the score, then they will be in real danger. Fortunately, the goal has been scored now. opened.

The next game will be much easier for Manchester United.

There is no pressure on the score, they will play easier, and Derby County has no lead, they can't attack, they can only choose to defend. Under such circumstances, many people think that Manchester United must be the winner. There is no suspense.

Although, the current score is only 1:1.

Many commentators, commentators and media reporters see it this way. Derby County played well in the opening and it is surprising to be ahead of Manchester United, but their performance is good enough. The next time is Manchester United, and Derby County wants more A surprising lead is almost impossible, and they won't have another chance of winning.

Manchester United manager Ferguson thinks so too.

Derby County led by a goal in the first half, but it's not that they did a good job offense, it's just that their defense was good, Manchester United couldn't score for a long time, plus Derby County's offense has never been a threat, and the defense has also slackened, and then Derby County Take advantage of constant long-range shots and score a goal 'by luck'.

That goal can be described as such.

But now that Manchester United have equalized, what else can Derby County, who is sticking to the goal, make waves?

The game seems to be going on as they imagined. After Manchester United scored a goal, the referee quickly organized the two teams to re-stand and the game restarted, but the situation was almost the same as before. It was still Manchester United in Constantly attacking, Derby County is still very passive, and the goal is frequently threatened.

As a result, three minutes later, Manchester United scored again, this time by Scholes in front of the goal.

Manchester United played a very exciting attack!

After a lot of passes, Derby County's defense still had loopholes. As a result, Van Nistelrooy, who got the ball on the edge of the penalty area, moved the ball to the left with a cross, and Scholes, who was unguarded, finished the ball. Shot hard.

In the face of this shot, Derby County has nothing to do.

They have tried their best to defend, but Manchester United's cooperation is so good that their formation is completely disrupted. There are even three players defending Van Nistelrooy, and Scholes is missing this position.

Scholes then helped United make it 2-1.

"Derby County has no hope at all." The on-site commentator said with a sigh. He is neutral and does not support any side, but many people always sympathize with the weak. He still hopes that Derby County can create a miracle to keep League One. The identity of the team, beat Manchester United to win the FA Cup.

But now it seems. Really hopeless.

It has to do with the score, with the situation, and with the order of goals. In this game, Derby County advanced the ball, and then Manchester United chased two goals in the second half, which also means that Derby County has not many offensive methods against Manchester United. Manchester United's morale is at its highest so far. And Derby County's morale suffered a serious setback in the second half, conceding two goals in three minutes in a row, which may even make a team collapse directly, especially Derby County is the weaker side.

Derby County fans also sighed.

At half-time, they were still admiring the team's excellent second-half performance to beat Manchester United to the FA Cup, but now they find it unrealistic. Like they thought before the game. The strength gap between Derby County and Manchester United is too great, and it is extremely difficult to create a miracle.

Fans think so, and the media think so even more.

Manchester United scored the first goal just now, and they felt that Derby County had no chance. Now that they scored the second goal, it became more difficult for Derby County to win.

If Derby County had a 20% chance of winning when Manchester United scored their first goal, it would be nice to have a 5% chance now. The difference between a goal is so big, the most important thing is. Derby County have a hard time organising their attack on the pitch and now they are struggling to even defend.

Under such a situation, there is still hope for Derby County! ?

Those reporters in the media booth who are disgusted with Wansheng are now only schadenfreude. Derby County is very strong in League One, and this Chinese is also very arrogant in the face of them, but now? When you meet Manchester United, even if you say something big, you can only prepare for failure!

This defeat will make the Chinese clear the gap between himself and the top league teams and the head coaches of the top leagues, and then see how arrogant he will be!

In the League One, Derby County can run wild, but next season Derby County is going to the Premier League. The Premier League is not a paradise. For Derby County, it is equivalent to hell. Now losing to Manchester United is only the first game. Maybe From now on, this Chinese will continue to face failure.

Continuing to face failures, shattered confidence, then slumped, unable to avoid relegation in the first season, then fired by Derby County, unable to find another coaching job, quietly quitting in the coaching world... These reporters have already Thinking about the future for Wansheng.

In fact, the Derby County club is not annoying.

The history of the Derby County club is very simple. Although it has been strong for a while, it is only for a while. Most of the time, it is still unknown. They have no enemies. Derby County fans are also very ordinary fans, not those famous football hooligans in England. Clubs like that (like Millwall, like Bolton) are disgusting, but these journalists hate Wan Sheng, they can't stand a Chinese arrogant in front of them, and the fate of this Chinese is now tied to Derby County Hook it up, if Derby County has good results, the Chinese will be good, but if Derby County has poor results, the Chinese will not end well. It's as simple as that.

At this time, many people have turned their attention to the Derby County coaching bench.

Wan Sheng was standing on the sidelines, his face still had a serious expression, no different from just now, but the reporters could imagine Wan Sheng's anxiety at this moment.

"He must be pretending." Many people speculated.

A lot of TV footage was also shown to Wan Sheng. Several cameras pointed at him. Most people must have reacted, but Wan Sheng didn’t seem to see it. He just stared at the stadium and followed his line of sight. On the edge of the half, only two players stood there, one was captain Marcus and the other was Leighton Baines, who scored a goal in the first half.

......

In fact, Wan Sheng was also very anxious in his heart, but he knew even more that anxiety would not be of any use at this moment. If he showed anxiety, the state of the players on the field would be even more affected.

He knew that now he had to do something to give the players back their confidence.

Some adjustments have to be made!

Even if there is no real use for this adjustment, as long as there is an adjustment, the players will have confidence and they will think, "Look! The coach has made an adjustment, this adjustment will probably work, and we still have hope of winning." On the other hand, if you do nothing and wait for the players to play by themselves, if you want to win, you really have to rely on God for help.

Wansheng does not believe in God, he only believes in himself.

He called in Leighton Bynes and Marcus. A few words were spoken to the pair, and the game resumed, with Derby County quickly raising a substitution card - Tim Cahill off, Peter Kennedy on.

"Is Wansheng crazy!?"

Seeing this substitution, many people at the scene were quite surprised. Derby County are now one goal behind. If you want to win, you must score goals, but Wansheng has replaced the team's top scorer, Cahill, and replaced a very unknown substitute?

Peter Kennedy?

Who is this guy?

Can he replace Cahill?

Peter Kennedy has been playing for Derby County for a few years. He is also one of the players in the squad. Soon the media found the information and knew that Peter Kennedy was a midfielder with a bias towards the midfielder.

They were even more surprised.

Replace the team's top scorer with a defensive midfielder? Derby County is this to give up the rhythm of the game? They felt incomprehensible, after all this was the FA Cup final. Even if they don't think Derby County has a chance. But you have to fight anyway. If you are lucky enough to get one, at least there is a chance to drag the time to overtime. Even if you lose the game in the end, it will be considered hard work. Give up at the last minute?

Many cameras pointed at Wansheng again. At this time, Wansheng's expression was still the same - his eyes were looking directly at the stadium. His face was very serious, and his expression didn't seem to change in the audience.

But actually. Wan Sheng thought about a lot of things.

It is absolutely impossible to give up the game. He just told Marcus to play and tell everyone to get back on their feet. We still have a chance to wait. These will be conveyed by the captain during the game. This is also the best way to seize the last chance. Important - if the player has no fighting spirit, no matter how much correct adjustment is made, it will not have any effect.

He trusted Marcus to do the job well.

Marcus has always been the captain of the team. He is the core of the defense. He has experience and performance. For those young players, he is like a big brother on the team, and he is also a leader on the field. Many people They will follow Marcus' command. In addition, there is another reason why he can serve as the team captain, that is, he is a player born in Derby County. He is a native of Derby County. He has been a Derby County fan since he was a child. The love of the team is unquestionable.

On the court, anyone would give up the game, and neither would Marcus.

This is an opportunity for Derby County to compete for the FA Cup. Throughout its century-old history, it is an extremely rare opportunity. When such an opportunity is in front of us, Marcus will not give up, and he will also come to the field to tell his teammates that they cannot give up.

The other is the replacement.

He replaced Cahill with Peter Kennedy. This is actually a helpless adjustment. In this situation, Cahill is also involved in defense. His speed is average, not too fast. If he defends in the backcourt, his defensive ability is not good. No matter how strong it is, it is difficult to perform offensively, so it is nothing to replace Cahill. Wansheng's main consideration is to free up a midfield position for Leiden Baines!

He wants Baines to play midfield because Baines' long-range shooting ability is the best in the team.

If Baines stood higher, he would naturally have more opportunities in front of the penalty area, instead of a few assists in the audience. With Peter Kennedy involved in the defense, Lu Xi could withdraw to the wing, then Bynes can move from the wing to the midfield.

Wansheng doesn't know if such personnel adjustment will work, but at this time, any adjustment is a gamble. If the bet wins, the team will have a chance. Couldn't be worse.

In any case, this is much better than no adjustment.

But after Wan Sheng made adjustments, he also knew that the next game had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't do anything he wanted. Only the players on the field could decide the outcome of the game.

He went back to the dugout and sat down, as if it were easier.

For him, until the end of the game, it is time to test the results of a season. This is the last game of the season, and it is also the most important game. The team has worked hard for a season, everyone is improving their ability, and now they It has reached a desperate situation, and only the whole team can find that chance by working hard.

Are they... OK?

Wansheng is not sure, but he firmly believes that no matter what the outcome is, these players on the field will be able to do their best! (To be continued ~^~)
