Chapter 137, Very Hurt
"Manchester United's players didn't seem to be in good shape in this game. Rooney's shot just now was really substandard. The ball was weak and had no angle. It wasted a good opportunity for Manchester United."
"Look at this attack! Teixeira took a long shot from outside the penalty area! The ball was saved!"
"If it wasn't for De Gea's brave performance in this game, Manchester United should be 0 to 3 behind by now!"
"What are you doing! Why didn't you go up and grab it just now!"
Vice-captain Vidic loudly reprimanded Raphael on the right. It was Teixeira who broke through Rafael's somewhat casual defense just now, and had this opportunity to attack.
Raphael knew that he had made a mistake just now, and he raised his right hand to Vidic to apologize.
Seeing this situation, Giggs, as the captain, also greeted his teammates loudly to cheer everyone up.
"Win this game! Give the boss a victory!" Giggs shouted.
Vedic, Evra, and Van Persie also set an example and fought hand-to-hand with the red-eyed Shakhtar Donetsk players in their own positions without fear. Gradually, Manchester United's morale is back on track.
Kintag sighed and said to Scholes: "A family is as old as a treasure. After the end of the season, Ryan will retire. By that time, I don't know who else can continue to carry Manchester United. banner?"
Scholes said firmly: "Captain, don't worry, the inheritance of the captain of Manchester United has never been broken, and the spirit of the Red Devils will continue forever."
Throughout the first half, although Shakhtar Donetsk's offense was sharp and fierce, under the leadership of Ryan Giggs, the morale of the team was high, blocking Shakhtar Donetsk's offensive wave after wave. But Manchester United's offense didn't improve very much today, and they didn't organize any good offense in the first half, especially before the end of the first half, Martial felt uncomfortable in his feet, and Kintag hurriedly asked the team doctor for an emergency check . According to the results of the team doctor's examination, Martial should be muscle fatigue, just rest for two days. The team doctor suggested that it is best to replace Martial in the second half, and don't let him take any more risks.
Kintag followed the advice of the team doctor. In the second half, Kintag replaced Martial with Valencia. Compared with Martial, although Valencia's offensive power is not as sharp as Martial's, its defensive ability is definitely stronger. Replacing Valencia at this time is a supplement to the team's defense.
But I didn't expect that just 52 minutes into the second half, Mahrez also fell to the ground in a fight with the opponent.
It was a scramble on the left of Manchester United. Shakhtar Donetsk's midfielder, the young Brazilian midfielder Fred, shoveled at Mahrez who was rushing forward, because he touched the ball first , and Fred also had an obvious movement of closing his feet, so the referee didn't say anything.
But Mahrez fell to the ground. The Manchester United team doctor rushed to the field to check Mahrez's injury. After a while, the team doctor carried Mahrez off the field. Jin Taige hurried forward to check the injury, the team doctor shook his head: "The injury is not serious, but this game must not last any longer."
"SH*T!" Jin Taige cursed, and he asked Ashley Young, who was warming up on the sidelines in advance, to come back, "You go on the field and replace Mahrez. You must ensure the team's defensive position."
Ashley Young nodded. After a dead ball, the fourth official raised the number plate for substitutions, No. 28 Mahrez went off and No. 18 Ashley Young came on.
Seeing this situation, captain Ryan Giggs was also very anxious. It was only the 52nd minute, and Manchester United had already lost two substitutions due to passive substitutions. This game was already very difficult. In this case, the game is even more difficult to play.
Giggs hurriedly told the players on the field: "Everyone must pay attention to propriety when fighting, and don't let accidents happen.
"
The players on the field also agreed.
Ashley Young comes on and the game continues.
The new players Ashley Young and Valencia are very eye-catching. Although they are not as powerful as Mahrez and Martial, they have a balanced offense and defense, and the new players are full of energy. The situation above, but because of these two substitutions, some good changes have taken place.
The two made precise crosses in turn on the two sides, and Shakhtar Donetsk's penalty area was jittery for a while.
But the good times didn't last long. In the 72nd minute of the game, someone from Manchester United was injured again.
This time it was Captain Ryan Giggs who was injured.
In the middle of the midfield dribbling, Giggs passed Shakhtar Donetsk's defenders, and there was an open field in front of him, which was a good time for him to show his skills. But at this moment, Fred, who was on the side, shoveled Giggs fiercely to the ground!
Giggs rolled continuously on the ground, excruciating pain.
At this time, the Manchester United players quit, and they stepped forward to question Fred.
Vice-captain Vidic ran over from the backcourt, and he yelled at Fred: "Are you fucking planning to shovel us all down!"
At this time, Shakhtar Donetsk's players did not show weakness. They also stepped forward to confront the Manchester United players, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
At this time, Jin Taige off the court was also completely angry. He ran to the fourth official, pointed at Giggs on the court and complained loudly: "Sir, we have already been sacked by three players, and the opponent player even Not a single yellow card!"
Seeing Jin Taige's angry expression, the fourth official wanted to remind him a few words, but he still didn't say anything. He also understands that it is understandable for the head coach to be angry when his players are injured one after another.
Therefore, the fourth official changed the tone of criticism and reminder into kind comfort: "Mr. Tiger, please rest assured that the referee will make a fair penalty."
At this time, the referee also felt a little sorry. He showed a yellow card to Fred, the instigator of Giggs' shovel injury, and signaled him not to pay attention to the defensive scale. Then he looked at Vidic who caused the conflict between the players of both sides. He put his right hand in his pocket for a long time, but he still didn't escape in the end, he just gave Vidic a verbal warning.
When the team doctor was checking Giggs' injury, Giggs untied his captain's armband, called Vidic over, and said with a look of pain: "I guess I won't be able to play for a while, the captain's armband You wear it for a while."
When the team doctor carried Giggs off the field, Kintag saw the team doctor shake his head helplessly at himself for the third time.
Jin Taige slammed the water bottle on the ground, venting his dissatisfaction. But now the situation is urgent, and there is no time to estimate his mood. He hurriedly called Carrick who was warming up on the sidelines: "Carrick, you replace Giggs. Defensive, control the tempo of the game in midfield."
"I see, boss."
Carrick stepped in and trotted onto the pitch.
