Chapter 1,131 De Gea’s Redemption

Taking a two-goal lead was subversive in boosting the morale and confidence of young Manchester United players. After the start of the second half, Manchester United's players dared to do any coordination, and dared to use any clearances and passing moves. Their level of performance was simply extraordinary.

Facing the Manchester United players who let themselves go, Tottenham's players were somewhat restrained because they wanted to win but were afraid of losing. They were pinned down by Manchester United and besieged in the half. They could only use sporadic counterattacks to threaten Manchester United's defense.

Although letting oneself go has improved Manchester United's combat effectiveness, it has also made Manchester United's players become a bit casual in the offense. They don't pass the ball, let alone pass the ball. Rooney only likes to compete with defenders. Park Ji-sung runs around all over the field, and Carrick quickly takes over. Gao Xiaodong moved into the midfielder position.

In the second half, Manchester United had all the advantages on the field and overwhelmed Tottenham. It seemed like a replica of the beating Tottenham had in the previous ten years. However, because the players were flying and had the advantage but could not score, they could never convert the opportunity. Score a goal.

Only 15 minutes passed in the second half, and Ferguson couldn't stand it anymore. Although Manchester United already had a 2-goal lead, Ferguson knew that Manchester United's defense was too young. Once the opponent scored, it would collapse very quickly.

After making a mistake in a counterattack and wasting the opportunity to expand the score, Ferguson decisively made substitution adjustments. The veteran Giggs came on and replaced the Korean Park Ji-sung, allowing Giggs to give Gao Xiaodong the pressure in the frontcourt to shock him. The players in the frontcourt.

At this time, Tottenham coach Hodgson couldn't stand the situation on the field. He made two adjustments at the same time. He replaced the right back Walker with Joel Luka to strengthen the defense of the wing and replaced him with Pavlyuchenko. Krani rubs to strengthen the impact of the front line.

After the substitution, Manchester United's offensive rhythm slowed down, while Tottenham's offense gradually improved.

In the 65th minute of the game, Bell got the ball on one side of the penalty area. Because his previous crosses were ineffective, this time Bell feinted and chose to shoot across the field.

Manchester United's defensive player was shaken by Bell's feint and failed to intercept in time. Bell drove to the edge of the penalty area and completed the shot.

Bell was extremely fast, and Gao Xiaodong was unable to interfere with Bell even when he returned to defense. Bell's shot was very solid, and the ball flew to the upper right corner of the goal like a thunderbolt.

Seeing Bell's shot, the Manchester United players and fans were shocked. They knew the details of their goalkeeper, and he handled long shots and high-altitude balls very poorly. If Bell shot such a fierce shot, they might have lost the ball. Lost half of it.

However, the man chosen by Sir Alex Ferguson is definitely not a mediocre person. After getting through the tension and confusion in the first Premier League game, De Gea's second game was much better than the first. Otherwise, facing A strong team like Tottenham might have conceded a goal in the first half.

Faced with such a powerful and heavy shot,

De Gea reacted very quickly. He jumped up and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

"good!"

"pretty!"

"Well done!"

…

De Gea's save earned exclamations from the fans in the audience. Manchester United fans were surprised, while Tottenham fans were frightened.

Gao Xiaodong and Giggs were also surprised and happy. There is nothing happier than having a reliable goalkeeper behind them.

Although Manchester United's defense is young, Gao Xiaodong and Carrick are experienced and can fill their holes, but if there is a problem with the goalkeeper, not even God can save it.

De Gea's heroic performance once again gave Manchester United players a shot of stimulant. The players had no worries when attacking. Even Gao Xiaodong also increased the number of forward assists. In the 69th minute, Rooney passed the ball. Nani stepped into the middle to receive the ball and then turned and shot low. Tottenham goalkeeper Friedel flew sideways and won the ball.

Hernandez rushed towards Friedel quickly, trying to prevent Friedel from launching a quick counterattack, but Hernandez was far away from Friedel and was a step too late. Friedel quickly threw the ball to Bell. .

After receiving the ball, Bell rushed aggressively along the wing and headed straight into Manchester United's half.

Manchester United's right midfielder Nani flew to intercept, but Bell passed the ball and forced an overtake, leaving Nani not even a chance to foul.

Knowing how powerful Bell was, Manchester United midfielder Gao Xiaodong quickly rushed to the side and tried to intercept Bell again, but Bell was too fast. Gao Xiaodong chased from behind, but he was still unable to close the distance with Bell.

Manchester United right back Smalling intercepted Bell head-on, but Bell passed the ball. Smalling was so eager to turn around that he fell behind Bell.

Smalling's fall gave Bell no worries. Seeing that the two forwards failed to keep up with him and were unable to outflank him in the penalty area, he decisively cut inside and entered the penalty area from the left side of the penalty area.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea quickly struck out to block the near corner.

At this moment, the youthful advantage of Manchester United's defenders was revealed. Center defenders Evans and Jones quickly returned to defense and blocked the possibility of Bell throwing away goalkeeper De Gea's shot from the center.

Bale had no choice but to challenge De Gea head-on.

At this time, De Gea's height and arm length advantage put tremendous pressure on Bell. He seemed to feel that the goal had become smaller, and both the far lower corner and the far upper corner were within De Gea's control.

The biggest fear when dealing with a one-on-one ball is to think too much. After Bell thought about it, he was less than five meters away from De Gea. At this distance, there was no room for hesitation. Bell directly kicked De Gea and shot De Gea in the crotch.

Although De Gea is inexperienced, his basic skills are very solid. He pays great attention to his crotch. When he saw Bell taking a shot, he closed his legs and blocked the ball.

Bell rushed over quickly and wanted to take another shot, but De Gea rushed forward quickly and suppressed the ball under him. Bell could not stop his feet and was tripped in the penalty area.

An excellent scoring opportunity was wasted. Bell lay in the penalty area and kept slamming his fists on the ground.

Tottenham fans sighed and shook their heads. It was extremely regrettable that such a good opportunity could not score Manchester United's goal. So how can Tottenham complete the goal?

Ferguson was startled at first, but it was not until De Gea hugged the ball that he felt relieved. Immediately, Ferguson applauded the stadium vigorously, as if he saw a goal, and shouted at De Gea. Shout: "Well done!"

De Gea was a transfer personally planned by Ferguson. Giving up so many experienced veterans and choosing De Gea, a young Spaniard, was also an adventure for Ferguson. After all, this position is too special. Once it is wrong, there is nothing he can do. To make up for it, although Manchester United narrowly won in the first round, De Gea was criticized after the game. Although no one said that Ferguson made a wrong selection or had behind-the-scenes dealings, Ferguson was also under great pressure.

In today's battle, although the game is not over yet, De Gea has at least saved himself some impression points. De Gea's game and living environment will be much more relaxed later on, which is very important for a young goalkeeper.
