Chapter 568 Confused, Why Did You Lose the Ball? (5351 Words for Guaranteed Monthly Ticket)
The starting players of both sides line up in the player tunnel, ready to enter the field.
Beckham and Gary Neville hug.
Shake hands with Manchester United veteran Edwin van der Sar as well as leading stars Wayne Rooney and Fletcher.
In fact, among the starting XI of Manchester United, only Gary Neville was Beckham's original teammate.
There is also Fletcher, which is produced by Manchester United's youth training. However, after Beckham transferred and left, Fletcher began to enter the first team.
The others all joined Manchester United after Beckham transferred and left. After all, seven years is enough to change a lot.
Ferguson walks through the tunnel.
The camera has been locked on the old Scottish man, trying to capture the eye contact and even verbal communication between him, Beckham, and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
However, the audience was disappointed.
Ferguson walks through the tunnel with no expression on his face.
He just paused and glanced at Ronaldo when he walked past Ronaldo.
The Brazilian, who was still on crutches when he set off for Manchester yesterday, has now thrown away the crutches and seems to have no problems.
At this time, Ferguson naturally knew that he had been fooled.
He and Manchester United fell into Fang Jue's smoke bomb.
what could seriously hurt.
What at least was a sprained foot.
It's all fake.
The heinous thing is that from yesterday to today, the media photographed Ronaldo showing up on crutches at least three times.
This is simply too shameless.
It's just a league game, as for that? !
Then, as soon as Ferguson came out of the player tunnel, he saw Fang Jue.
"Ha, what a coincidence, Sir." Fang Jue greeted the other party with a bright smile.
What a coincidence!
Ferguson glared at Fang Jue with a straight face, "Hello, Mr. Director."
"I knew you would misunderstand." Fang Jue said with a bitter face, "You may not believe it. This morning, the team doctor checked Ronnie. Guess what?"
Ferguson looked at it coldly.
Fang Jue clapped his hands, "Okay! Ronnie recovered from his injury in time and caught up with the game!"
Seeing Fang Jue's expression of "I can't believe my good luck", Ferguson really wanted to take off his leather shoes and slapped the soles of them.
"The two of you can't win the game. We'll see." Ferguson looked at Fang Jue's extended right hand, shook it, and snorted.
Fang Jue let out a huff in his heart, as if you seldom use such small tricks.
You are older than me.
I just set off smoke bombs.
You almost drove Keegan crazy.
Steve Warner didn't understand why Fang Jue always wanted to poke Ferguson twice, that old man was not easy to mess with.
Ceballos said something in a low voice, which translates to a combination of two words: 吱音 + 嘴音!
After successfully setting off the smoke bomb to overshadow Ferguson, Fang Jue must be panicking if he doesn't want to show off in front of the old Scottish man.
After successfully making Ferguson angry and annoying him, Fang Jue felt comfortable.
...
Amidst the huge uproar, players from both sides entered the field.
The camera immediately focused on David Beckham.
Want to capture some information from his facial expressions.
Today, David Beckham wears the familiar goldfish head braid hairstyle.
Seeing this hairstyle, many fans and spectators sighed.
In 2003, Beckham moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid with the "goldfish head".
In 2010, Beckham wore a 'golden fish head' and wore Aston Villa's away blue No. 7 jersey to return to Old Trafford.
Beckham has a calm expression. As the star who has attracted the most media attention in football today, he can hide his emotions well and control his expressions.
The shot was given to the stands.
Some Manchester United fans were applauding, and they had a banner saying "Welcome home, David!"
There were also many fans booing, and a banner read: You are not welcome here!
"Obviously, the fans at Old Trafford have different opinions." Howe said, "For Beckham who returned to Old Trafford as an enemy, their feelings are extremely complicated."
"Let's pack up our emotions and first take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."
Manchester United (starting list):
Goalkeeper: 1-Van der Sar;
Defense: 2-Gary Neville, 6-Brown, 23-Evans, 3-Evra;
Midfielder: 25-Valencia, 24-Fletcher, 16-Carrick, 36-Ashley Young;
Forwards: 10-Rooney, 9-Berbatov;
"Manchester United spent 26.5 million pounds in the winter transfer. Ashley Young, who was poached from Aston Villa, started. The former Villa player faced his old owner. This is also a highlight of this game."
"In addition, the news from England is that Vidic had some strains in training, so today he sat on the bench and Brown started."
Aston Villa (starter list):
Goalkeeper: 31-Roberto Enke;
Defensive line: 2-Lukey Young, 24-Cuellar, 6-Senderos, 8-Milner;
Midfielder: 5-Clement, 7-David Beckham, 27-Gareth Bell, 10-Deisler;
Forwards: 9- Van Nistelrooy, 99- Ronaldo;
"For Aston Villa, central defender Curtis Davis has been suspended for accumulating yellow cards, so Cuellar will play as a central defender and Lu Keyan will start as a right back."
"In terms of the midfield, Fang Jue directed the same configuration as the 7-0 victory over Arsenal at home." Howe said, but he also smiled, "Everyone saw it too, a big surprise, Ronaldo started !"
"Obviously, Director Fang Jue released a smoke bomb before, and foreign media even reported that Ronaldo may be seriously injured and retired." Duan Xuan also said with a smile, "This smoke bomb was very successful."
"Beckham's return to Old Trafford is the highlight of the game."
"But, don't forget, Aston Villa also has an old Manchester United player returning to Old Trafford."
"Van Nistelrooy! This is the first time he has returned to Old Trafford as an opponent since he left Manchester United."
"Let's take a look at the bench lineups of both sides."
Manchester United substitute list: 12-Foster, 7-Michael Owen, 15-Vidic, 18-Scholes, 13-Park Ji-sung, 21-Raphael, 28-Gibson;
Aston Villa substitute list: 1-Bland Friedel, 3-Wilfred Bauma, 16-Kalidou Koulibaly, 19-Petrov, 21-Qua Resma, 22-Sadio Mane, 25-Diego Costa;
...
John Mortensen and Lineker are also talking about both sides' starting rosters and bench lineups.
Lineker put forward a point of view. He believes that the strength of Aston Villa's 18-man roster is not weaker than Manchester United's 18-man roster.
This view has been questioned by John Mortensen.
Mortensen insists that, judging from the strength of the players and the recent state, Aston Villa is stronger than Manchester United.
Especially in the midfield, Clement + Beckham + Bell + Deisler + Ronaldo + Van Nistelrooy are better than Carrick + Fletcher + Ashley Young + Valencia + Rooney and Bell Bartov's.
Lineker objected. He pointed out that, among other things, Rooney's worth and ability should be higher than Aston Villa's midfielders.
In this debate, both sides hold their own words.
However, the emergence of this kind of controversy is a signal that illustrates one point:
In the eyes of professional media people, Aston Villa's strength is already comparable to that of traditional giants like Manchester United, at least not far behind.
Many fans and spectators in front of the TV sighed. Fang Jue took over Aston Villa for less than a season, and a nearly brand-new and shocking Aston Villa has been presented to the world. fans.
...
Deisler lost the coin toss to Manchester United captain Gary Neville.
Therefore, the home team Manchester United won the right to pick a side.
The visiting team Aston Villa gets the kick-off.
"Good result." Fang Jue nodded, "We took the lead."
Ceballos glanced at Fang Jue and said nothing:
If Deisler won the coin guessing, Fang Jue would say, let's go first.
If you lose in coin guessing, kick off the ball first, which means you have the upper hand.
Anyway, the truth is here with Fang Jue.
From the very beginning of the game, Aston Villa took the initiative.
Aston Villa took advantage of the opportunity to kick off first and firmly controlled the football at their feet.
They know that the game at Old Trafford will be an extremely difficult tug of war.
Fang Jue has also instilled this point in the players: don't worry!
Therefore, Aston Villa is not in a hurry to hit the football in front of the goal, but patiently passes the kick, moves, and slowly deals with the home team.
The Manchester United team is very experienced, and they have already planned and prepared for this. They began to shrink the defense line at the beginning of the game, first to stabilize the defense, and then to seek offense.
Chelsea's unexpected loss in yesterday's game gave Manchester United the hope of overtaking and reaching the top. They are more eager to win and more cautious in this game.
In the pre-match meeting, Ferguson seriously warned the players that this game will be very difficult and they will fight until the last second:
This is the battle for the championship!
This is the first time Ferguson has made it clear to his players that Aston Villa is Manchester United's direct title contender!
...
Huh?
Ferguson showed a surprised expression.
He noticed that on Aston Villa's side, according to the tactical play of the game against Arsenal, Deisler, who should have been ambushing behind the two forwards, was a bit late.
"Deisler's position today is at the back. It's more like—" Howe thought for a while and said, "It's more like a defensive midfielder. This reminds me of Pirlo, the core midfielder of AC Milan."
"It's really similar. In AC Milan, Pirlo was protected by Gattuso. Today, Deisler's position is retreated, and he is protected by Clemente." Duan Xuan added.
The shot is a close-up of Aston Villa's coaching seat.
The eyes of the handsome coach seem to be shining with the light of talent.
A smug smile appeared on the corner of Fang Jue's mouth, which was exactly the change in his game today.
If Ronaldo's injury is a smokescreen.
Deisler's position was withdrawn, allowing the German star to play as a defensive midfielder. This is a bigger change!
Fang Jue knew that the game against Arsenal must have been studied many times by Ferguson.
He wouldn't be so stupid and continue to use the tactics of that game invariably.
It's just that Deisler's position is withdrawn and he kicks the midfielder of the organization. Just this change is enough to evolve many new tactical changes.
Clement is in charge of protection.
Deisler is in charge of organizing and dispatching at the center.
Beckham and Gareth Bale are on the two wings, one is responsible for speed breakthroughs, and the other is responsible for precise transfer and pass scheduling.
Aston Villa's two wings have their own characteristics.
This is enough to provide shell support for Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo on the front line.
...
Deisler got the ball in the middle.
Fletcher comes up to interfere with him.
Deisler turned around halfway, smashed the ball, and got rid of the entanglement.
He then passed the football to Beckham.
Beckham passed back to Deisler.
Deisler passed the football to Beckham again, and he continued to run.
It looks like this is going to be a continuous wall-bumping fit.
"Look at him!" Manchester United captain Gary Neville commanded the defense loudly.
Carrick immediately followed Deisler.
However, to the surprise of Manchester United's defensive players, Beckham 'turned a blind eye' to the space created by Deisler's running.
Instead, a long pass transferred the football directly to the other side of the field.
"Nice slash transfer!"
Deisler and Beckham continued to make a fuss on the right, which made Manchester United's defense tilt to this side.
Gareth Bale on the left is empty.
Gareth Bale catches the ball beautifully and he dribbles it straight down the wing.
Gary Neville hurried up to intercept.
At the same time, Fletcher also double-teamed from the side.
Bale knocks the football sideways.
Deisler got the ball in the middle, then he pulled the ball and turned around, making a gesture to pass the football to Beckham on the right.
Ashley Young quickly retreated and stuck to Beckham.
But after a feint, Deisler passed the football to the left.
Bell poised to catch the ball.
...
"Skip the ball!"
"pretty!"
Bell's lifted foot did not touch the ball, but missed the football.
Behind him, Milner cuts in at high speed.
"Fill in!"
"Stop him!"
Deisler's feint, Bell's missed ball, and Milner's high-speed back plug.
Manchester United's defense was fully mobilized, and some gaps finally appeared in the originally impenetrable formation.
Milner dribbles the ball at high speed down the left flank.
When he waited for Manchester United central defender Brown to rush forward in a hurry, he pushed the arch of his foot.
Gareth Bell has the ball at the top of the key.
Bell passes the football to Deisler.
Deisler then passed a diagonal pass to Beckham, and continued to run forward. It seemed that he wanted to cooperate with Beckham in a two-pass and one-hit wall.
Manchester United's players are not fools, how can they tolerate such clichéd and simple cooperation in front of the penalty area?
Carrick followed Deisler.
Evra came up to Beckham.
Beckham pushed the football with his right foot.
In the penalty area, Ronaldo took the ball with his back, and among the crowd, the Brazilian star slammed his heel diagonally.
Almost at the same time, Beckham, who had completed the pass, had rushed into the penalty area.
As long as Beckham catches up with the football, he will face the goalkeeper...
...
"Single knife!!!"
The commentator shouted excitedly. No one expected that five minutes into the game, Aston Villa had been walking back and forth without haste.
Suddenly exerting force, they played such a beautiful cooperation:
And, broke through Manchester United's defense.
Speed and explosiveness are not Beckham's strong suits.
Moreover, he is thirty-four years old.
Despite trying his best to sprint, Beckham was not able to get rid of the defender.
Evans slanted down and rushed up.
At the same time, Ashley Young was also coming from behind. Ashley Young was so fast that he looked sure to catch up before Beckham could make a threat.
"Beckham is surrounded!"
Evans blocked the angle of Beckham's shot.
Ashley Young forced Beckham so that he could not have the opportunity to adjust after he got the ball.
Beckham, however, did not shoot or try to adjust the football.
He got ahead of Ashley Young and rubbed the football up...
The football drew a small arc, bypassed Van der Sar's body, also bypassed the goal, and flew to the left rear point.
...
"Vud Nistelrooy!!! He's completely unguarded..."
None of Manchester United's defensive players, including Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, noticed Ruud van Nistelrooy.
It's not that they made low-level mistakes and missed people:
After Ronaldo's beautiful heel knocked the football to Beckham, the first priority of defense was to defend against Beckham!
As long as Beckham is surrounded and he is not allowed to complete the shot or pass, the defense is successful.
Evans' blocking made Beckham lose his shot angle.
This is successful defense.
Moreover, in that case, it seems impossible for Beckham to threaten Manchester United's goal.
Moreover, Beckham is more likely to pass the ball to Ronaldo who is closest to him.
However, Ronaldo is defended by Brown, who is back on defense.
Then, no one expected that Beckham successfully rubbed the pass to the back point.
Football seemed to have eyes and was passed to Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Now, half of the goals in front of Ruud van Nistelrooy are empty, what he needs to do is very simple...
The Dutch veteran Xiongbu stopped the ball, followed by a volley.
The football goes straight into the net.
...
"Ronaldo! Heels!"
"Beckham! Pass! Beautiful!"
"Vud Nistelrooy! Shoot!"
"Goooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaal! Aston Villa scored!"
"One to zero! Ruud van Nistelrooy scores for Aston Villa!"
"One to zero, the goal was scored too easily, and Manchester United's defense was completely penetrated."
"Gareth Bale-Deisler-Beckham-Ronaldo-Beckham-Van Nistelrooy!" Howe shouted as he stood up in his studio in Beijing.
"All the attacking stars of Aston Villa participated in the attack, they played quicksilver, and Manchester United was completely led by the nose."
"Especially at the end, Ronaldo's heel, Beckham's assist, Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal! Perfect goal!"
There was a huge cheer from the Aston Villa fans at Old Trafford.
Ruud van Nistelrooy raised his arm, swung it vigorously, and then there was no extra movement. He signaled that he would not celebrate anymore to show his respect for his old club Manchester United.
Beckham also stood still and did not celebrate.
They didn't celebrate, and the other Aston Villa players didn't have so many taboos, and ran over excitedly to celebrate together.
And Manchester United's players froze in place.
They still couldn't believe what they saw...
It's only been five minutes since the game started, why did you concede the ball?
How could the team's defense be penetrated so easily?
Obviously he was already doing his best to defend, and there were no obvious loopholes or mistakes, so he lost the ball just like that?
They can't figure it out.
Yes, they felt completely confused and just dropped the ball.
This made the Manchester United players a little at a loss.
