Chapter 125 Free Kick!

"Two goals are nothing! We will catch up soon!"

Manchester United's performance on the field also seems to confirm his words.

Manchester United’s continuous offensive wave completely suppressed Derby County. The waves of attacks made Derby County seem helpless and could only deal with the attack tiredly. Occasionally grabbed the ball and was quickly taken back by Manchester United. .

Manchester United has completely put on a stance of 'not reluctant to score a goal'!

Manchester United are now giving full play to their strengths. Each of their players has performed well. Coupled with their home advantage, they have achieved absolute suppression on the field, although Derby County has performed well in defense. The field defense was solid, but their goal still looked shaky.

In the 55th minute of the game, Manchester United had a great opportunity and almost scored!

This is an opportunity created by midfielder Scholes!

Giggs on the left dribbled the ball in the corner of the penalty area, and immediately passed the ball to O'Shea, who followed, O'Shea crossed Roy Keane, Roy Keane passed Rooney, Rooney tried his best to kick the ball to Scholes.

After such a few passes, Derby County's defense seemed a little messy. Scholes took the opportunity to hoist the ball accurately in front of the goal, Van Niere grabbed the position and hit the goal directly!

Unfortunately, luck seemed to be on Derby County's side, with the football hitting the post and bouncing out of bounds.

It was also Manchester United's best chance since the start.

"Van Niegh's shot! Ahh... what a pity... the ball hit the post and bounced out of bounds, Derby County escaped..."

The tone of the commentator on the scene was very regrettable. This was the biggest threat to Derby County's goal since the opening of Manchester United. Even if the football is a little higher, it is enough to become a goal.

But unfortunately, we didn't score in the end.

The on-site commentator continued. "...But it looks like it's only a matter of time before we score a goal, and we're still two goals behind, but if the game goes on like this, we still have a good chance!"

Persuasion emphasized as if encouraging, "There is still plenty of time, we will definitely be able to tie the game!"

Manchester United has launched a ten-minute bombardment of the Derby County goal. After watching their own team's attack for ten minutes, Manchester United fans have also gained a lot of confidence. They also feel that the only thing missing from the team is to score goals, and they expect Manchester United to get a goal back as soon as possible.

As long as one goal is pulled back, will two goals be far away? ?

In this mood, they shouted to cheer for Manchester United, and that voice accelerated the blood flow of all those who were in it, "Come on!! Manchester United!! Come on!! Manchester United!!"

......

"The game has just started, we still have time..."

Just as the on-site commentator said, many Manchester United supporters saw the team suppress Derby County and regained their confidence in the game, including Manchester United coach Ferguson.

Actually. Now Manchester United just let go of their hands to attack, which is almost a last-ditch effort.

Manchester United can't either.

In a normal game, you can't even get an advantage, and the team is two goals behind. The only thing they can do is press all the way, let go and attack, and only then will they have a chance to tie the game.

This is Ferguson's tactical strategy, and the only option.

He believes that the team will score a goal as soon as possible, and there is no absolute certainty of tying, but as long as a goal is scored, the chance of scoring a second goal will be much greater.

Now it's up to the players on the pitch.

......

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines and watched the game.

He looked serious and focused. But there is not much worry on his face. In fact, Derby County is now suppressed by his expectations. If he wants to come, Manchester United can only let go of their hands and feet to attack aggressively in the second half to have a chance to tie the score.

This is Manchester United's only option.

Seeing through this, it is very easy to set up tactics and start a confrontation with Manchester United. It's definitely not a good choice to fight for it, because Derby County has a two-goal advantage.

We have a two goal advantage, why should we go to fight with Manchester United! ? If they go to fight, the advantage of these two goals will be reduced by most. After all, if the two teams are desperate to fight against each other, they will score more goals. The advantage of two goals is naturally relatively small.

Therefore, Wansheng's choice is to stabilize the defense and seek counterattacks.

This is also the reason why Derby County players have some pity on Manchester United - the team is already two goals ahead, in this case, the coach requires the defense to be as solid as possible, which is almost equal to killing Manchester United's possibility of tying, because in Derby County all defenders are on the line. Under the circumstances, no team can dare to say that they can score two goals in 45 minutes, and Manchester United is no exception. Therefore, Manchester United, which had little chance at first, now has a lot of opportunities.

They only have that glimmer of hope for a miracle!

Just like now, Manchester United has been aggressively attacking for ten minutes, scoring a lot of goals, but in fact, the number of real threats to the Derby County goal is not many. Football is passed from outside the penalty area most of the time. Van Niere also hit the ball on the crossbar.

Looking for such a good opportunity, how can it be so easy! ?

For a long time, Derby County still insisted on defending, and the number of counterattacks was still very small, but the saying of 'one blow, another decline, three exhaustion' is absolutely true in football games. Over time, Manchester United attacked for a long time. If they failed to score the goal, they had to slow down the rhythm, otherwise, let alone morale, the energy and physical fitness of the players would not be able to keep up.

At this time Derby County's counter-offensive increased.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Derby County made a new move and Wansheng made adjustments.

Derby County withstood the offensive pressure of Manchester United just now, and the defensive pressure has been reduced a lot by this time, so Wansheng is ready to make a substitution, and he asked assistant coach Diamares to call Ivan Krishna on the bench. Lu, soon Crew had warmed up, and Wansheng planned to let Ivan Crew play.

In this game, Wansheng sent three midfielders to play in order to increase the intensity of the pressing. The role of the third midfielder is not much, so he needs to be replaced.

Changing who is the key. Ivan Kru is a good choice because he has a balanced attack and defense and has a strong ability to set the ball.

Wan Sheng is still interested in the latter point.

The team used defensive tactics on the field, and the offense mostly relied on counterattacks. Even if it was actively advancing, there were not many players in the front, so they went to the frontcourt. Many times football passes are too advanced, and it is difficult to pass to teammates. At this time, the personal skills of the frontcourt players are very important. If they face a weak defense, they can use their skills to make breakthroughs, and then for themselves Look for opportunities.

This is a very important means for the team to counterattack at present.

However, relying on the individual performance of the stars is also very targeted. For example, Manchester United's defensive players are more aggressive and defensive, and it is easy for the team to fail again and again. But this will also increase the chances of setting the ball in the frontcourt of the team, so, in case there is a good chance. The role of Ivan Crew coming off the bench came out.

In short, Wansheng sent Crewe to set the ball.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, the substitution was made quickly. Ivan Crewe stepped on the court, and the on-site commentator commented, "Ivan Crewe came on and was replaced by Osman!"

"Ivan Crewe is Derby County's second top scorer. He has only scored fewer goals than Van der Vaart in the team. The player is not strong on the wing, but he can always make a threat to the opponent when he comes in repeatedly."

"But this substitution seems a bit unwise. Now Derby County should strengthen their defense. Manchester United's offensive is very fierce, and Ivan Crewe's defensive ability is obviously not as good as Osman, who is the absolute pillar of Derby County's defense! "

The on-site commentator was really surprised by this substitution.

"If Ivan Crewe replaces Peter Kennedy. It's nothing, it's just a normal position change, but he replaces Osman, which is very strange, Osman is a very important player for Derby County. .. From the start of the second half until now, his defence has caused countless problems for Manchester United..."

After being puzzled. The commentator simply said, "But in the end, Osman was replaced, which is good news for us, which means that Derby County's defense is much weaker, and we will have a better chance..."

The on-site commentator is not that kind of senior football person. Naturally, he does not know that Manchester United's attack has actually slowed down. They need a certain period of time to adjust before they can continue to attack. During this period, Derby County's defense line is still safe, that is, Said that this substitution of Derby County is likely to pose a threat to Manchester United's defense.

Perhaps at this time, no one thought about Manchester United's defense.

If Manchester United can't score as soon as possible, they will have no chance at all. After all, Manchester United are two goals behind. If they care about the team's defense now, what else can they talk about equalizing the score!

The commentary of the on-site commentator does not represent the complete truth, but it can increase the confidence of Manchester United fans, because his statement is biased towards Manchester United.

So Manchester United fans are thinking--

"Derby County manager really made a mistake?"

"Now he made a mistake, it must be Manchester United's chance! Manchester United should take the opportunity to continue the offensive and try to score quickly!"

"This may be the turning point for Manchester United to win the game!"

"..."

But no matter what the fans think, this is not a fantasy world. Their thoughts cannot be turned into the power of faith. In other words, no matter what they think, they cannot affect the game.

The next game is going on according to the 'format'.

Manchester United's offensive had to be slowed down, and Derby County also began to launch counterattacks frequently. Although Manchester United was still suppressing on the scene, Derby County's offensive threat should not be underestimated. Attacking the frontcourt, the threat to Manchester United's goal was great, so Manchester United's defenders had to use fouls to intercept.

As a result, in the 74th minute of the game, Derby County had an excellent opportunity. Van der Vaart was brought to the ground by Ferdinand at the front of the penalty area, and he fell to the ground. The position is less than 25 meters from the goal, and The position extending longitudinally to the bottom line is almost close to the right post, that is to say, the position of the football is facing the goal.

Seeing the position of this set-piece, many people realized the danger.

Even Manchester United coach Ferguson couldn't help but stand on the sidelines, his face full of worry; on the other side, Wansheng looked in the direction of Manchester United's goal in anticipation.

There was already a player in a white jersey standing in front of the ball.

12th.

"Ivan Kru!" (To be continued ~^~)
