Chapter 342: Classic Reappearance
The Southampton players received a new tactical arrangement from the head coach, and they immediately retracted their formation, trying to keep the 3-1 victory.
Kintag saw Pochettino's tactical adjustments on the sidelines. He understood that Pochettino was not ready to take risks. He wanted to hold on and maintain the advantage of these two goals. At this time, Kintag did not hesitate at all. He directly asked the two full-backs to make bold assists to give the frontcourt players the greatest offensive support.
In the 52nd minute of the game, Raphael broke through York's defense on the right. In the 1-on-1 confrontation with Luke Shaw, he cleverly attracted the opponent's attention, and then looked for opportunities near the bottom line.
Rafael knows Luke Shaw very well. This season Luke Shaw can be said to be one of the hottest full-backs in the Premier League. His technical characteristics of being able to attack and defend well, as well as his strong running ability, have made him a member of many giants. It is said that Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and other major Premier League giants are all very interested in Luke Shaw. Maybe next season, Luke Shaw will change his family and enter the giants. His competitive state in this game is also very good, Rafael thinks he is not sure to break through him.
Therefore, Rafael did not force forward. After making two fake moves, he passed the ball back to Martial behind him.
After Martial received the ball, he saw that Luke Shaw was taken away by Rafael, exposing the gap in the ribs, so Martial went directly into the penalty area along the ribs and got a chance to face the goal .
"Raphael didn't mess with Luke Shaw and passed the ball back to Martial."
"Martial broke into the penalty area! Font stepped forward to block! Martial kicked decisively and shot! Good opportunity!"
"The ball hit the post! What a pity! Southampton dodged a bullet!"
Pochettino on the sidelines broke out in a cold sweat. The moment the ball hit the goal post just now, it seemed to hit his heart. He greeted the players on the field loudly, telling the players to pay attention to the defensive distance, and not to let Manchester United's frontcourt players break into the penalty area easily.
And Ferran in front of the coaching bench of the visiting team was very annoyed: "This goal is such a pity! We had a chance to narrow the score gap!"
Jin Taige was unmoved, he smiled slightly: "The team's offense is getting better and better, and the goal is not far away."
Seeing Jin Taige's confident appearance, Ferran asked Scholes in a low voice: "Why is Tiger not in a hurry? Where did he get such confidence?"
Scholes looked at the field and whispered: "The captain's confidence may come from the man on the field."
Now on the pitch,
Martial kicked the turf in disappointment. It was a pity that the goal that could have been scored was accidentally hit on the goalpost.
At this time, someone patted Martial from behind, he looked up, and it was Giggs: "Captain..."
Giggs looked at Martial with a smile: "The shot just now was wonderful, but I was a bit unlucky. Don't worry, the goal is not far from us."
"Yeah." Martial nodded. For some reason, Giggs just casually said a few words, and Martial's disappointment just now was wiped away.
Perhaps this is the captain's magic.
Seeing Giggs observing the situation on the field, he recalled many past things in his heart. In the past 23 years, I don’t know how many times I have experienced this kind of backwardness, but the current backwardness has doubled the pressure on Giggs. If he can’t win the last battle of his career, he will lose the league championship. , then I will regret it for the rest of my life. So Giggs gritted his teeth and tried his best to win this game!
The Southampton goalkeeper made a penalty kick. At this time, Giggs did not retreat. He saw Van Persie and Rooney in the middle in front of the penalty area, waiting for an opportunity. His position came slightly to the left, close to Southampton right back Clay because. Giggs had a premonition in his heart. This time Boruc might pass the ball shortly on the ground, and with Van Persie and Rooney in the middle, he is likely to split the ball.
Ryan Giggs's guess is not out of thin air. Because of the several big long passes by Boruc just now, they were all pushed up by Manchester United's defenders, which finally created an attacking opportunity. Now Southampton does not have much strength in the frontcourt, so the effect of using big feet is very poor, so this time Boruc made a short pass to the defender, and then let the Southampton players control the rhythm of the game. This is very likely.
Giggs's idea is derived from years of experience in the game.
And in the end he guessed right.
Boruc saw that there was no one in the frontcourt, and he was about to pass the ball short to the defender. In front of the two central defenders are Van Persie and Rooney, who are closely watching Boruc's actions; the left back Luke Shaw is a little tired in the fight just now, and is breathing heavily; while the right back Klein has no one around. .
Boruc didn't think much at this time, he directly passed the ball on the ground and handed the ball to Klein. Klein also stepped forward steadily, ready to receive the ball.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared diagonally from Klein's side and broke the ball!
"Boruc pass the ball, Klein is ready to receive the ball... the ball is cut off! It's Giggs!"
"Veteran Ryan Giggs did not know when he came not far from Klein, he was very alert to observe the situation on the field, before Boruc passed the ball, he pretended not to pay attention here, but was looking at Van Persie. As soon as Boruc passed the ball, Giggs suddenly started and broke the ball in an instant!"
"This is a great opportunity for Manchester United! 3-for-2 in the frontcourt! Van Persie and Rooney also rushed up!"
"Southampton's two central defenders, Lovren and Fonte, defended closely, keeping a close eye on Manchester United's two forwards! Lovren also tried to get stuck in Giggs' path to prevent him from moving forward!"
"After Giggs broke the ball, he ran all the way to the penalty area! Klein chased after him desperately, but he couldn't catch up with Giggs at all! Giggs seemed to have returned to his 20-year-old peak body, he Super fast, entered the restricted area!"
"Lovren stepped forward to break the ball! Giggs changed direction continuously and shook him away!"
"Giggs is facing the goalkeeper! Boruc tries to block the entire goal!"
"Shoot! The ball went in!!! Giggs shot hard to the near top corner of the goal. The ball is unsolvable!"
"The whole shot is the credit of Giggs alone! From stealing the ball to dribbling, and then shooting into the net, Giggs' explosive power in an instant is amazing! In the moment just now, it seems that people saw the most amazing Giggs The classic goal - the 1999 FA Cup on the solo ride! If Manchester United can win this game, then the importance of this goal is extremely important! Veteran Giggs blew the horn of Manchester United's attack , There are still more than 30 minutes left, can Manchester United overtake Southampton and get the three points they want?"
