Chapter 263, Great Crisis
Seeing the Manchester City players celebrating on the field, Ferran stomped his feet fiercely: "Oh! There are only ten minutes left, if you persist, the championship will be won."
Scholes is also very regretful: "It's too bad to score at this time. It will have a great impact on the morale of the team at this time."
The two were chatting, but Scholes found that Kim Taige didn't respond: "Captain, why are you so calm? Are you not in a hurry when you lose the ball?"
Kintag shook his head: "Smolin was able to defend Aguero until now before conceding the ball. He has played super long. In my plan, I have no delusion to seal Manchester City. Manchester City's attack power is very strong. The goals are also expected. It’s just that as you said, scoring goals in this period of time has a great impact on the team.”
With that said, Kintag came to the sidelines, and he shouted loudly to the Manchester United players on the field, telling them to cheer up and continue to fight their opponents for the next game.
At this time, Jin Taige also quickly made substitution adjustments. He asked the substitute players to warm up on the sidelines early in order to prepare for the next substitution adjustments.
Smalling twisted his thigh because he was struggling to defend Aguero just now, and now he is not comfortable exerting force. In addition, he has been marking the extremely fast Aguero this game, so his physical strength has declined seriously. Therefore, Kintag replaced him with Van Dijk and continued to keep the team's defense solid.
Then, Kintag replaced Martial, who was physically weak, and replaced Salah, allowing Salah to use the last time to rush.
As for the third substitution, Jin Taige still stayed. Judging from the situation, the team is likely to play overtime or even a penalty shootout. If there are any special circumstances at that time, I still have room for maneuver .
On the other side, Pellegrini also quickly made changes on the field. In the UEFA Champions League match a few days ago, Manchester City also had a very serious physical consumption. Now the players on the field have suffered from a serious lack of physical strength. If you don't pay attention at this stage, it is easy to lose the ball. Therefore, Pellegrini replaced the left back Kolarov and replaced Clichy, who was transferred from Arsenal, to continue to maintain the stability of the wing.
And Pellegrini also had the same idea as Kintag, and for the sake of safety, he also left a substitution. for use in overtime.
The two teams made substitutions and adjustments. After the game restarted, the offense of both sides started again.
After Aguero scored a goal, he was very excited. He had a wider range of running in the frontcourt, passed and received the ball, and connected in series. He seemed to be an all-around attacker, and Dzeko was under his cover. , and also frequently got the chance to score. If it weren't for Vidic's strict marking, Dzeko would probably end the game early.
After Aguero's series connection, Silva's pressure has been reduced a lot. Even so, there are Kanter and Nainggolan in Manchester United's midfield. The physical fitness of the two of them is very good. The game has lasted for nearly 0 minutes. Waist Yaya Toure and Fernandinho are very admired.
These two young midfielders have a bright future.
In the first minute of the game, Manchester City played another wave of threatening offensive.
This time it was Clichy who had just come on the field. Relying on his sufficient physical strength, he went straight from the left to the edge of Manchester United's penalty area, while Jones rushed forward aggressively. In the fight with Clichy, He flipped Clichy on the edge of the box.
The referee immediately stopped the game, gave Manchester City a free kick from the edge of the penalty area, and gave Jones a yellow card.
This free kick is in an excellent position, and several Manchester City players are eager to try and prepare to take this free kick. The Manchester United players are very nervous. They are afraid that they will be overtaken by Manchester City at the last moment of the game.
Vidic shouted to the players to form n walls,
Get ready.
Silva stood in front of the ball, took a deep breath, kicked a tricky curve ball, and went straight to the goal!
De Gea is extremely fast, his body is very stretched, and he took the ball off steadily!
Silva felt a little regretful. Just now he pursued the angle too much, and his strength was slightly reduced, which allowed De Gea to pounce very steadily.
Seeing that this dangerous situation was resolved, Ferran was very happy off the court: "De Gea performed really well. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't even be where we are today."
But Kintag still frowned: "Although the free kick was blocked, Jones received a yellow card. It will definitely have some psychological impact on Jones' defense."
When Ferran heard it, he was also a little worried: "The game has progressed to the present, if something unexpected happens at this time, then the League Cup champion may be lost."
Phelan didn't go any further. Kintag knew what he meant, but in this situation, he had no other choice. He couldn't just replace Jones because of a yellow card. Now Jones is in good physical condition, and there are several players on the field who can no longer run, and this last substitution has to be reserved for those who need it more.
Kintag was in a hurry, but Pellegrini's eyes lit up and he saw an opportunity.
He came to the sidelines and called Clichy over: "You tell Aguero and them to play Jones more in the last period of time. He has a yellow card now. If you can find a way to send him off, then even We're going to extra time, and this game is a sure thing."
Clichy nodded. He quickly ran back to the field and told the coach's intentions to the frontcourt players. Aguero and Silva looked at each other and understood.
"Navas took the ball forward, he bypassed Kanter in the middle, and pulled the side to the left to break through!"
"Jones pressed up, he got entangled with Navas!"
"Navas's ball was broken! Jones drove the ball to the frontcourt with a big foot!"
"Navas fell to the ground, he got up and complained to the referee, saying Jones' action was a foul!"
"The referee ignored him and the game continued!"
"Aguero also came to the left. He fell to the ground in the confrontation with Jones. The referee indicated that the ball was a reasonable collision and there was no foul!"
In the next period of time, the Manchester City players even gave up the offensive routine in the middle. They tried their best to make a fuss on the right side of Manchester United, frequently threatening Manchester United's goal. During this period, Jones became the busiest person. Defense, on the one hand, you must be careful with your actions to avoid fouls.
But under Manchester City's offensive suppression, how can the direction of the game be controlled by Jones?
