Chapter 73, Fiasco

The referee showed Rooney a yellow card. Rooney was angry and wanted to say something. Giggs on the side hurriedly pulled him away: "What are you doing? Do you think there are too few players sent off? If you If you are angry, then fight back with a goal!"

Rooney looked at the Manchester City players who were celebrating not far away, and his right fist smashed into the left palm!

You think only Manchester City can score goals, I'll let you see now, we Manchester United are not easy to mess with!

"Manchester City are now leading 2-0 and the game is still going on. The two wing players that Manchester United have just replaced are very sharp. They pushed hard on the wing and turned Manchester City's back line upside down. Several emergencies."

"Look at this ball! Mahrez is going to cut inside! It's over! He makes a 45-degree pass to Rooney in the penalty area!"

"Rooney headed hard! Goal scored!!! Goal scored!!!"

"Manchester United actually scored a goal in a very unfavorable situation. Now they are only one goal away from Manchester City. The game is still 13 minutes away, and the game is still in suspense!"

Jin Taige waved his fist fiercely off the court: "Nice job!"

Etihad's away fans broke out in an instant. From their despair just now, they seized the life-saving straw at once. Although the number of away fans was limited, the cheers and shouts that erupted were still not inferior to those of the home fans.

Jin Taige heard that the home fans gathering area behind him was particularly lively. He looked back and was immediately amused: "Paul, look who is that?"

Scholes looked back, and it turned out that Phelan, who was sent to the stands just now, was in the Red Devils fan gathering area. He was like a conductor of a band, directing the fans to rhythmically shout and celebrate.

Jin Taiger, who had regained hope, smiled and said to Scholes: "I have decided that in order to get better support for the team, I will let Phelan go to the stage and command the fans to cheer for every game in the future."

"That's a good idea." Scholes agreed.

Rooney's goal rekindled the hope of victory for all the players, they were even more desperate to attack, not to mention they had no choice.

If you don't attack, you will definitely lose, and if you attack, you may win.

But after conceding the ball just now, Manchester City also woke up. Pellegrini loudly urged the players on the sidelines not to let down their vigilance just because there is one less opponent, maintain the formation, and press forward steadily.

Then, Pellegrini made successive tactical adjustments: Richards replaced Zabaleta, who was weak on the right; with the same aggressive midfielder Xavi Garcia, he replaced some Yaya Toure, who received a yellow card, continued to strengthen midfield defense; then Dzeko replaced striker Negredo.

Manchester City replaced three freshmen in a row, coupled with the steady command of captain Kompany, they quickly suppressed their position. After Xavi Garcia came on, he brought Pellegri to Fernandinho. Nei's instructions, as long as Mahrez and Martial on the wing get the ball, Xavi Garcia and Fernandinho will step forward and write the full-backs to press, so as not to let Manchester United's wings fly.

A series of adjustments by Pellegrini, for a while, Manchester United's wing attack has no good solution. And Jin Taige's cards have been exhausted, and with one less person fighting on the field, he can't do anything about the current situation.

Manchester United's attack here is weak, while Manchester City has the opportunity again and again. Manchester City's midfield trio threw their power in a row, and the three passed the ball without stopping, stirring up the entire Manchester United defense line. Ferdinand and Smalling tried their best not to let Aguero come forward again, but they ignored another dangerous figure - Dzeko.

Manchester City's starting striker Negredo didn't have many chances before. He played the fulcrum role of the center in the penalty area, and he spent more time playing the ball for the front trident.

And to attract the attention of Manchester United's defense, because of this, Negredo didn't get a good chance in the whole game, so when he was replaced by Dzeko, Negredo was very depressed, he looked back at the direction of the stadium, I feel very annoyed that I didn't score at the Etihad Stadium today.

After Dzeko played, the situation changed a lot. He moved from Wolfsburg to Manchester City in 2011. In his first season with the team, he became the team's leader. Attack the core and help the team win the long-lost league championship. Dzeko's form declined a bit last season due to injuries. Despite this, he also helped the team score 14 league goals. He is still the team's top scorer in the league and helped Manchester City finish second in the league. 's results. Although Pellegrini bought a lot of new players this season, which had a great impact on Dzeko's main position, as long as Dzeko is healthy, he is still an ace under Pellegrini.

Less than ten minutes after he played, he already had two very threatening shots.

As the saying goes, there are only three things. In the 84th minute of the game, Dzeko received a pass from Aguero. He took off with all his strength, pressed Ferdinand, who was physically weak, and scored a wonderful header.

Manchester City lead 3-1!

This goal completely shattered Manchester United's hopes, and misfortunes do not come singly. Ferdinand struggled for more than 80 minutes, but he was finally exhausted. feet, unable to hold on any longer.

The team doctor hurriedly carried Ferdinand out of the field. At this time, there were only nine players left on the field.

Jin Taige came to Ferdinand and asked about the injury. The team doctor shook his head: "The situation is not good."

When Jin Taige heard this, he immediately frowned. Every time the team doctor said "the situation is not good", it was at least a month of injury, and now 35-year-old Ferdinand is not too young, his recovery cycle is even more unpredictable, Jin Taige smashed it hard. Turf, scolded "SH*T" in his mouth.

Not long after Ferdinand came off, Manchester City scored again, this time by Aguero.

At this time, although Manchester United lost two people on the field, they did not retreat across the board, but continued to press heavily. They did not give up the last glimmer of hope, but their mental persistence could not make up for the lack of two people. Xavi Garcia broke Rooney's ball, and then went straight to Aguero with a long pass.

At this time, only Smalling was left on Manchester United's defense line. He was a little powerless in the face of Aguero, who was in excellent condition today. Aguero passed Smalling in a one-on-one opportunity. , and then deftly pushed into the far corner of the goal when facing De Gea's attack.

4 to 1.

fiasco.
