Chapter 99, The Situation Is Dangerous

On October 26, in the quarter-finals of the English League Cup, Manchester United beat Norwich 4-0 at home. In this game, Manchester United blossomed more, and Norwich lost with a crushing momentum.

After the game, Kintag was interviewed by reporters. He said in high spirits: "Today's game was very exciting. The players played their best. This is the true level of Manchester United. The big win is great. ,I like."

This big victory allowed Manchester United to sweep away the 0-2 loss to Stoke City in the previous game, and Kintiger finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next draw of the League Cup after the game, Manchester United drew out their next opponent - Stoke City. The next game will be on December 18.

Kintag happily said to Scholes: "The loss to Stoke City in the last game, until now, I still worry about it. The result of this draw is just what I want. We happened to clean them up in the League Cup and let them They've seen what Manchester United can do."

The joy of Norwich's big victory has not been enjoyed for too long, and Kintag is going to face Fulham in an away game.

Two days later, on October 28, Manchester United came to London one day earlier. On October 29, in the tenth round of the Premier League, Kintiger led the team to the Craven Farm Stadium located on the banks of the Thames River to challenge Fulham away. .

Fulham didn't start this season very well. They have only one game left in the league and are still hovering near the relegation zone. Kintag is very confident in winning them.

Because the opponent's strength is not strong, and after continuous battles, the physical strength of Manchester United's players has also declined seriously, so Kintegger made some rotations in this game: a 4-4-2 formation with balanced offense and defense, the goalkeeper is De Gea, and the defense line On Van Dijk, Smalling, Alonso and Rafael; Kante and Carrick partner in the middle, Ashley Young and Valencia on both sides, Icardi and Rooney on the front . The seven substitute players are Alisson, Evra, Jones, Fletcher, Shinji Kagawa, Nani and Martial.

Several main players with severe physical exertion got a rotation rest.

Although Kintag has rotated many players, Anderson is still not in Kintag's roster for the game.

After the previous stage of the game, Jin Taige was completely disappointed with Anderson. He has now completely put Anderson out of his plan. Give Anderson any chance to start and come off the bench.

Phelan told Kintag privately that Anderson's agent was already in contact with other clubs to find a way out for Anderson in advance.

Kintag didn't care. Even if Anderson didn't want to leave, Kintag wouldn't let him stay in the summer of 2014.

The opponent Fulham in this game formed a 4-4-1-1 formation. There are no big-name stars in their team, but there is a player who is very familiar with Jin Taige.

In the forward position of the striker, Berbatov played. "Brother Chic" has played for Manchester United for 4 seasons, and he was also the darling of Old Trafford. His elegant and chic style of play is very popular with many Manchester United fans. In Manchester United's four seasons, Berbatov helped the team win a Club World Cup, two Premier League trophies, and three League Cups. He also made great contributions to Manchester United. In the summer of 2012, Berbatov moved to Fulham and started his new career. In the last season, he scored 15 goals for Fulham, ranking 8th in the Premier League scorer list. He is the top scorer in the Fulham team.

In this game, Kintag let the defensive players focus on marking Berbatov. Smalling and Berbatov have been teammates, so they know Berbatov's technical characteristics very well, and Kintag is also more at ease.

After the start of the game, Kintag's team launched a fierce attack. They had lost two games in a row in the previous league, and now they are far behind the leader Manchester City in points.

Therefore, Kintag must ensure a stable performance in the next game, strive to grab points in the league and catch up with Manchester City.

The two sides of the game were Ashley Young and Valencia, both of them had a good cross, and from the beginning, the two attacked in turn, bombing Fulham's penalty area. Icardi waited for his chance in the penalty area, and Rooney stayed a little further back, waiting for the second point. And Carrick's position has also been mentioned earlier. His powerful long-range shots in the midfield are also a very lethal weapon for Manchester United.

20 minutes before the opening, Manchester United bombed indiscriminately in Fulham's penalty area. This game was very similar to the last game against Norwich. Missed the goal.

Jin Taige on the sidelines was not in a hurry, he was very confident that this game would definitely be another big victory.

But the progress of the game was beyond his expectation.

In the 31st minute, Berbatov received a long ball from the back, he unloaded the ball lightly, and then broke into the penalty area. At this time, Smalling was close to Berbatov. . But he didn't expect that Berbatov knocked the ball back and passed between Smalling's feet, and then he turned around lightly in the penalty area and passed Smalling all at once.

Smalling was shocked, Berbatov had already faced the goalkeeper directly!

At the moment when Berbatov was about to take a shot, Smalling gently pulled Berbatov behind his back, and Berbatov slammed his foot and fell into the penalty area.

"This fucking is definitely a penalty!"

The home fans in the audience shouted loudly, and the entire Craven Farm Stadium was booed for a while.

Jin Taige was very nervous, he came to the sidelines to monitor the situation on the field. Scholes and Phelan also stood beside Kintag, staring intently at the situation on the field.

The moment Berbatov fell to the ground, the referee stopped the game decisively. He ran forward, pointed to the penalty spot, awarded a penalty to Fulham, and charged the instigator of the foul Maureen is shown a red card.

The Manchester United players surrounded the head coach to defend. In fact, the players on the field knew very well that the ball was indeed fouled by Smalling, and the penalty kick was undisputed. Smalling's red card was turned into a yellow card.

But no matter how the Manchester United players explained, the referee still upheld the original verdict. The penalty kick was taken by Fulham's center forward Berbatov. Berbatov's shot went straight to the dead corner. De Gea judged the wrong direction and scored the goal.

Manchester United was scored a penalty by Fulham in the 31st minute of the game. The score on the field became 0 to 1, and Manchester United fell behind.

Manchester United has one man sent off and is still one point behind. The current situation is extremely dangerous...
