Chapter 125 Reaction

Manchester United's coaching staff and substitutes glared at Wansheng.

Ferguson also looked at Wan Sheng with a flushed face, he hadn't been so angry for a long time.

He didn't expect that it would be a young man who made him angry. This young man was not his player or his junior, but a football coach who was on an equal footing with him.

If someone had told him before that a football coach under thirty could rival him and be on an equal footing, he would still believe it, because there are always lucky young people who get a chance, but if someone said , This young man can lead the team to beat Manchester United, and he has repeatedly challenged him and disrespected him, so he doesn't quite believe it.

Not to mention the outcome of the game, with his influence in European football, will any young coach disrespect him?

Now this man has appeared!

The key is that this young man not only disrespected him, but also led the team to defeat Manchester United repeatedly. He has nothing to say about the past games. Now Manchester United is behind again. The backward situation and the provocation, Ferguson's Anger can be imagined.

When he lost to Derby County led by Wan Sheng for the first time, Ferguson still felt that the opponent was just lucky and performed well. After losing repeatedly, he knew that this young man was qualified to be his opponent.

And now... the other party doesn't seem to care about him at all!

intolerable!

Ferguson felt very annoyed, and at the same time he was thinking about the game.

Now Manchester City's tactics are unexpectedly conservative. That kind of conservativeness makes him feel... very powerless. If the opponent is Chelsea, the game will definitely be difficult to see. The opponent is almost equal to defending the goal and not attacking, but the opponent is Manchester City, so It looks like Manchester City are doing well. They have a lot of passing and a lot of wonderful cooperation, at least this makes Manchester City fans feel that the team is playing well.

But in fact there is no difference between the two, both are very conservative, but the situation is different!

Just being conservative. After just a ball. Ferguson has seen that the other side is more patient than Manchester United.

When Manchester United defends well, the opponent does not attack. They always play control and defense. Manchester United’s defense is a little messy, and the opponent immediately launches an attack when they see an opportunity.

Such play. It's really a headache.

There is a saying in the football world that defense wins. That's what the opposition is doing, defending invincible, then looking for United's weakness and then delivering the fatal blow.

If he misses a hit, he immediately retreats to defend, and if he hits the ground, of course, needless to say, just look at the current score.

Manchester United have fallen behind!

Get to these first. Ferguson had a sudden feeling - it turned out that the Chinese was going to win like this, it turned out that Manchester United's tactical play was like this. No wonder he didn't have much effect for the team to press hard, the opponent was simply ready.

Then he realised again that United were behind.

Ferguson felt even more depressed when he thought of the Chinese man's expression just now.

"Bastard! Sh-it!" He couldn't help scolding.

...

The whole Cardiff Millennium Stadium has been filled with the sound of celebrating the goal, Manchester City fans are screaming wildly, and many neutral fans are also cheering for Manchester City's goal, it feels as if it has become the home ground of Manchester City.

There was a tremendous amount of energy from the supporters of Manchester City, each of them desperately chanting for the goal and venting their excitement.

on the media.

Before the game, most of the media were in support of Manchester United, which is the conclusion drawn from various analyses.

Injuries, preparations, schedule, fame, heritage... etc., many factors are biased towards Manchester United. Some of them thought that Manchester United might lose the game, but they never thought that the game would become like this.

Less than 30 minutes into the game, Manchester City scored?

1:0?

The score is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Manchester United did not seem to be able to fight back when they were beaten before. Their possession time is really pitiful, and it is difficult to threaten the Manchester City goal with only a few attacks.

This situation is staggering.

Many media were surprised. Taking advantage of the time to celebrate the goal, the various guests they invited played a role and began to continuously analyze the reasons for the current situation.

"It's not about strength, it's about performance, Manchester United's performance is not as good as Manchester City..."

"Manchester United has never had an advantage in the two teams this season, mainly because Manchester City is very good at controlling the ball!"

"Manchester United didn't play firmly enough. You can see the departure of captain Roy Keane, which has a great impact on them. The combination of Ryan Giggs and O'Shea is difficult to reach Morris..."

"Maurice is the heart of Manchester City and Manchester United haven't defended well in this position."

"On the sidelines, Manchester United did not play to its advantage, and C-Ronaldo has not performed well so far."

The last point was also interpreted by many Chinese media, and then they began to praise Sun Jihai.

"Sun Jihai played a key role in this goal, and his assists are very crucial!"

"Ivan Kru plugged in very timely, and it can be seen that he and Sun Jihai cooperated very well."

"Not only in terms of offense, but Sun Jihai's defense was also very good before. He had no stage fright in the face of Portuguese genius C-Ronaldo, and he was not at a disadvantage at all!"

"..."

Among the many voices of praise, Sun Jihai is also enjoying the praise and gratitude of his teammates. The praise is naturally his passing, and the gratitude is also.

Manchester City's goal celebration is still a bit crazy, on the one hand, it is a goal, on the other hand, it is also a leading goal.

They were excited to lead Manchester United.

When many players celebrated the goal, they also remembered what the head coach Wan Sheng said before the game, "We must be steady! Be steady! Be steady! The important things must be emphasized three times... As long as we can insist on playing more steadily and kill them all. With the patience of the other party, we will have a chance at that time.”

"Be steady when controlling the ball and defending, and let go when attacking, seize the opportunity, and let them know how good they are as long as they attack!"

"Most people think we don't have a chance, we're going to tell them with the result that we're here to keep Manchester United from winning the title!"

"The champion can only belong to us!"

When the Manchester City players finished celebrating and ran back to their own half. Everyone didn't hesitate, they knew what to do next.

What they have to do is simple - keep working hard, look for opportunities, try to score another goal, and make Manchester United people completely desperate!

Previous media analysis of the game. became the driving force for each of them. They are full of fighting spirit to prepare for the game.

Ivan Crewe, like his teammates, stood in position to tee off.

He glanced at the coach's bench.

Wan Sheng seemed to sense that someone was paying attention to him, and turned his head to look over. The two looked at each other, and Wan Sheng gave Ivan Kru a thumbs up.

Ivan Kru grinned when he saw Wan Sheng's action.

When he first arrived, he didn't know if he could find a main role at Manchester City. But now he feels more and more important to the team.

...

With the whistle of the referee. The game restarts.

Manchester United did not lose morale because of a goal. Instead, they pushed forward and launched an offensive against Manchester City, hoping to tie the game as soon as possible.

This is also a normal state of mind.

In the case of one more goal behind, just one goal can equalize the score, then all the advantages of Manchester City will be wiped out.

This is the final of the League Cup, a decisive game, the score in 90 minutes is very important. All they have to do is try to score goals.

When faced with Manchester United's open-handed attack, the average team will feel stretched. The defense will also become flustered, even Chelsea, which is known as the best defense, because Manchester United is the top team in Europe after all. When they press the attack, it is difficult for a team to deal with it calmly.

The same goes for Manchester City.

Manchester United's attack was not very violent before. They could use the ball to control the initiative, but when Manchester United released their hands and feet to attack, the defense was a little stretched, especially when the football was at the feet of Manchester United, and then the scattered full-court pressing would be very difficult. Unwise, the best option at this time is to retreat and compress the formation to defend the penalty area intensively, so as to ensure the safety of the goal to the greatest extent.

Wansheng made a special exhortation on this point.

He thought of the various situations that would be encountered in the game. It was definitely one of the common situations that the opponent would aggressively attack after taking the lead. He asked everyone to resolutely retreat and defend the entire line in the face of this situation, and first ensure that the goal is not lost.

When the defensive strike is changed, spread out and continue to pass and control the ball, and then continue to compare patience with the opponent.

This rather conservative tactical style of play, Wan Sheng explained over and over again, including many details, such as how to retreat, when to retreat, what to pay attention to when defending and filling positions, etc. Each player will have his own approach, and the combination of each person's approach is the tactical play of the entire team.

So when it came to this time, City didn't seem to panic at all, and they went back to the defense in an orderly manner.

In the face of Manchester City, which has a solid defense, Manchester United really has nothing to do. They are aggressively attacking, but if they want to find opportunities, it is not enough to have a large number of people. The area in front of the goal is so large. It doesn't make much sense.

So soon the ball went to Manchester City's feet again.

Then the Manchester United players saw that Manchester City began to tear apart the formation again, spread out their positions, and then kept running, passing, running, passing the ball. If they went to press, they would definitely consume more physical energy, but If they don't go, they don't know what to do. Are they going back to defend like Manchester City just now?

Many Manchester United players were immediately at a loss.

Some of them went to press and chased after the direction of the football, but that didn't have much practical effect. Some players simply retreated to the midline and waited for Manchester City to attack. Unfortunately, what they waited for was always watching Manchester City still Keep passing the ball.

They are so depressed they want to vomit blood!

So they crossed the center line again to grab the ball, and the formation was a bit chaotic.

Morris, who had just got the ball, saw the opportunity at a glance, so he reacted decisively... (To be continued ~^~)
