Chapter 127 The Second Half

Seeing the number '2:0' displayed on the scoreboard, and looking at Manchester City's crazy celebration of the goal, many people think of the grievances between Wansheng and Manchester United.

Man Sheng initially worked at Manchester United for only a week, but it was enough to make him a 'half' Manchester United man.

This is the beginning of Wansheng's career as a football coach.

The beginning is always unforgettable. Many coaches will miss the team that started their coaching career. Some coaches will also be labeled as the first team to coach or successfully coach the team. Those who did not succeed in their own team will go elsewhere. The team's successful coach will also be recognized by the team's fans. For example, some fans will always remember the history of some well-known coaches coaching the team, even though the well-known coach did not achieve much when coaching the team. Same thing.

Now Wansheng has been considered a success. He led Derby County to win the league title, the UEFA Cup and the FA Cup's 'mini-triple', coupled with the results of coaching Manchester City, he is more famous than some coaches. .

Therefore, if one day Wan Sheng returns to Manchester United to coach, it will definitely be regarded by the media and fans as 'returning to Manchester United' rather than 'coming to Manchester United'.

It's a footballing tradition, and people would think that Wansheng and Manchester United have an indistinct relationship.

Of course, what is certain is that Wan Sheng has a bad impression of Manchester United, because his departure was forced, not because his coaching performance was too bad, but because he learned the privacy of his immediate boss.

This is still the topic of many people laughing at Manchester United.

That is to say, McGuinness has been working at Manchester United for too long, such a small thing is not enough for him to leave, so he can stay at Manchester United all the time, otherwise he would have been fired long ago.

This is where the feud between Wansheng and Manchester United began.

Looking back, Wansheng's road to success seems to have been "stepping" on Manchester United.

from 2004. Since leading Derby County to win the FA Cup against Manchester United, this young man has appeared in the public eye. Before that, Derby County was already the English second-level league champion.

After promotion to the Premier League, Derby County once again eliminated Manchester United in the FA Cup. Twice against Manchester United in the league. Also got a win and a draw.

By last summer, he had come to Manchester City and was completely opposed to Manchester United.

The league double kill Manchester United is enough to shock many people, because the gap between Manchester City and Manchester United is obvious. In people's eyes, the gap cannot be filled by a competent coach. But Wansheng completely changed Manchester City. They have become a direct contender for the title from a Premier League powerhouse.

And this League Cup final is a victory that Manchester United "must" strive for. As a result, Manchester City, led by Wan Sheng, still had a two-goal advantage in the first half.

This situation is really surprising!

What team is Manchester United? They are the hegemons of the Premier League, the symbols and pillars of English football, and Manchester United is one of the top clubs in the world. When people mention English football, Manchester United is often the first thing that comes to mind.

But now Manchester United have been suppressed by their rivals in the same city this season, and this is still the case in the League Cup final.

Some pessimistic Manchester United fans. Even thought... Manchester United is about to sink? They'll keep being pressed by Manchester City, and then pressed, and then I don't know when. As you can imagine, the Manchester team has become Manchester City, and the two teams have completely reversed their positions...

Who could have imagined the current situation! ?

How could a small coach who was dismissed at the time push them to such a degree? Yeah, who would have thought of that?

The camera on the field could not help but point to the two coaches of Ferguson and Wansheng.

Ferguson's face was serious, mixed with a trace of worry, while Wan Sheng was full of smiles. The comparison of the two expressions on the screen can explain the situation on the field, but also seems to explain the entanglement between Manchester United and Wan Sheng.

......

The first half was over quickly.

In the last minute, Manchester United stepped up to attack, but still failed to score.

They have not lost their fighting spirit, every player is playing hard, but it can be seen that their offense is a little messy, which also shows the mentality of Manchester United players.

In the end they didn't know how to play the game.

Fortunately, there was not much time in the first half, and Manchester City did not get a chance. The game entered halftime with a two-goal lead of Manchester City.

When the first half ended, the Manchester United players let out a long breath. For them, the last period was too difficult, and they didn't know how to play.

At this time, what they need most is to calm down, and of course, they also need to accept the coach's guidance.

The media and fans are not calm. They can't imagine that the score will be like this after halftime.

2:0? Very normal.

Manchester City ahead? What... are you sure it's Manchester City?

Television, radio, radio, the streets and streets are full of voices discussing the game, and many people are unbelievable that Manchester City leads Manchester United by two goals.

Although Manchester City has two wins against Manchester United in the league this season, the victory in the league does not actually mean anything. It just means that they are lucky or play better, but it does not mean that they are stronger than Manchester United.

Now is the League Cup final, a game that decides the outcome, more people still prefer Manchester United, because they are famous, strong, and experienced... Wait, why is Manchester City ahead?

Many people don't understand this.

In the Manchester City locker room, Wan Sheng looked at everyone seriously, leading by two goals in the first half, but he did not show too excited because at this moment, he knew that he had to remain calm.

As a head coach, he needs to do that.

The moment of celebration is always only after the goal, the game is not over, he should not show excitement, that will affect the whole team, it will make the players think that the team will definitely be the winner, and then they are likely to be careless mistake.

Wan Sheng doesn't want that to happen, so he has to keep calm and keep serious.

He needs to remind everyone not to get carried away!

Even if the team leads by two goals, the form is very beneficial to them, but if they get carried away, they are likely to be overturned. Even if Manchester United is scored two goals, they are still Manchester United. In comparison, the current Manchester United is by no means worse than Manchester City. Their lineup and individual players are much stronger.

So at this time Wansheng wanted to pour cold water on the whole team to calm them down too.

"Guys! You did a good job in the first half, we were two goals ahead, but it's not time to get carried away, the game just started. Forty-five minutes. Anything can happen!"

"By now you should still remember last year's Istanbul, where Liverpool reversed AC Milan by 3 goals. It was a miracle in football, but it was also a reminder to us that AC Milan's lead by three goals will be reversed, not to mention that we only Two goals ahead!?"

"So I say, now we're far from celebrating."

"Never underestimate any opponent. Especially the current opponent... we all have to admit it. They are very strong, we have won them twice in the league, but that doesn't mean anything, you can feel them in the game. ability, that is a stronger opponent than us.”

"Of course, we also have advantages, our tactics are better, our coordination is more tacit ... maybe. There is also a bit of luck, but the most important thing. We are not 100% winning, so we have to keep working hard! "

Wan Sheng said to everyone seriously.

"In the second half I would like to see you play the same way. They will definitely make some tactical adjustments, maybe play more aggressively, or strengthen cooperation to find opportunities, or change to a different style of play, but no matter what they do, we will You have to stick to your style.”

"Control and patience, I have emphasized many times, but I have to say it once, we have to strengthen control, don't rush to attack, keep the ball in our hands all the time, so our goal is always safe. . . . .."

"Of course, it can also make Wang Xiaolei a little more relaxed."

Wan Sheng's final addition made many people laugh and also made the atmosphere in the locker room a lot more relaxed.

Wang Xiaolei has been training with the first team and has not played many times as the second goalkeeper, but in the two years in England, he has been able to communicate normally with his teammates. After getting along with him for a season, his popularity in the team is not bad. Love this shy young man.

But one thing that must be confirmed is that he is still a bit worrying as the starting goalkeeper. Experience and mentality are both problems. After all, he has played too few times. If there is a crisis, it is difficult to say what he will perform, so everyone Clearly, in the game, try to take care of Wang Xiaolei as much as possible, and don't put him under too much pressure.

So after Wan Sheng finished speaking, many people looked at Wang Xiaolei and smiled.

......

Soon the second half of the game began, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.

There have been no personnel changes on either side.

Manchester United trailed by two goals in the first half, but in fact, they did not have a particularly bad player. The reason for conceding two goals was more tactics and coordination.

Plus, City are surprisingly good, that's why they concede goals.

This is football.

Playing on the spot is often more important than strength.

Manchester City naturally has no reason to make substitutions, because in the first half of the game, the whole team performed quite well.

Manchester United attacked Manchester City at the start of the second half.

After a half-time break, their offense was obviously more organized and organized, with fewer mistakes and smoother coordination. The two flanks they relied on were also more threatening.

However, the core player is still in the middle. Ryan Giggs may not be as good as Scholes or the former captain Roy Keane, but the Scottish veteran's ability and experience are worthy of recognition. Under the leadership of Manchester United, Manchester United completely let go of the two flanks. C-Ronaldo's breakthrough made Manchester City's defense in a hurry. Park Ji-sung is not as good as C-Ronaldo in this regard, but he has more cooperation with his teammates, and also makes Manchester City's defense. a great threat.

Manchester United performed much better than the first half, which is the normal Manchester United.

At this time, the most dazzling player in the game became C-Ronaldo. The Portuguese star completely suppressed Musampa with his super personal ability. Sun Jihai made multiple defenses to no avail.

Musampa is not outstanding in terms of defense, and Sun Jihai can't compare with C-Ronaldo at all. When C-Ronaldo rushes, the two will be thrown away immediately. In the opening 3 minutes, C-Ronaldo even broke through once. The defense of the two put Manchester City's defense into crisis immediately. Fortunately, Distin stabilized the defense in the middle, which made C-Ronaldo's inward cut come back in vain.

Manchester United fans have returned to cheers, cheering for the team with their loudest voices.

The stands of the Millennium Stadium once again sounded the voice of cheering for Manchester United. More than 10,000 pure fans of Manchester United, plus more than half of the local Manchester United supporters, are all cheering for Manchester United.

Cardiff local fans, in fact, have no real support for the two teams. They just come to watch the exciting game, but Manchester United is more famous and has more stars, so there are more fans who support Manchester United, and people tend to sympathize with the weak. Yes, in the game now, it stands to reason that Manchester City are weak because they are weaker, but Manchester City are already two goals ahead. At this time, neutral fans will naturally choose to cheer for Manchester United, who are behind by two goals. more exciting.

At this time, the Millennium Stadium seems to have become Manchester United's home.

Under this cry, Manchester United will only perform better, while Manchester City has been somewhat affected. The sound in their ears is completely noise to them, and mistakes have gradually begun to appear.

Under the trade-offs, Manchester United suppressed Manchester City at the beginning of the second half.

On the Manchester United coaching bench, Ferguson looked much better.

Although still two goals behind, but the current situation continues, Manchester United is not without a chance.

On the other side, Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, worried for the team.

He thought that Manchester United would counterattack, but he did not expect them to counterattack so well. The current game is undoubtedly unfavorable to the team. Now the team's strategy is to obtain more ball control than the opponent in order to have a real advantage.

From the start of the second half to the present, for nearly ten minutes, the team's possession rate is not less than that of Manchester United, but it does not have any advantages. This means that the team is in a disadvantageous situation, which is very unfavorable.

For a time, Wan Sheng looked towards the bench.

Joey Barton is sitting there.

This 'bad boy' didn't seem to be worried about the team or the game at all. Instead, he was talking and laughing with his teammates. That scene was really annoying, but it made the atmosphere on the bench very good. At least everyone All are optimistic about the game.

Not everyone is pessimistic.

Wan Sheng hesitated for a moment, and finally shouted, "Joey, go and warm up!"

Hearing the shouting, Joey Barton was stunned for a moment, then pointed to himself and determined, "Boss, are you calling me?"

Wan Sheng frowned.

"Got it, boss!" Joey Barton immediately took off his coat and happily ran to the side to do warm-up exercises.

In the 59th minute of the game, Manchester City chose to make a substitution-Musampa, Joey Barton. (To be continued ~^~)
