Chapter 740: First Premier League Goal
Newcastle took the lead.
Facing the powerful Manchester United team, Newcastle adopted a defensive counterattack tactic. Only forward Carroll pressed forward to contain Manchester United's center back, and almost no one else passed the center circle.
Manchester United was playing at home and was obviously better than its opponents. The two forwards and two full midfielders quickly pressed forward to force the Magpies' defenders in the opening game.
Newcastle was not prepared to control the ball in front of Manchester United. After the opponent came over and saw that there was no safe route to pass, the defender immediately kicked the ball towards the frontcourt.
The ball was grabbed by Vidic, who was wearing the captain's armband, and passed to Scholes, who was responsible for organizing the game.
Scholes handled the ball very quickly and quickly passed the ball to Valencia on the wing before the Magpies players could grab it.
Valencia passed the ball to Hernandez, who was on the sidelines, and he quickly reached the bottom.
However, Hernandez and Valencia did not form a tacit understanding. They pulled the ball and turned around to dribble the ball laterally. When they turned around and saw Gao Xiaodong advancing, they passed the ball horizontally to Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong moved forward quickly and resolutely. The defensive player had already tackled him, but Gao Xiaodong still kicked the ball over without hesitation.
The ball hit the defensive player and was blocked, and Gao Xiaodong also fell to the edge of the penalty area.
There was a round of applause in the stands. British fans like tough guys the most. Gao Xiaodong's shot was aimed at the defender who was shoveling him. Not to mention whether the shot was reasonable or not, at least his courage was worthy of applause and encouragement.
The ball was still under the control of Manchester United. Scholes split the ball again. Nani was very happy after breaking through the wing and passed the ball to the center to find Berbatov.
Berbatov did not hit the ball, but he shook the defender and the ball flew from the penalty area.
Valencia stopped the ball on the chest on the wing, and the Magpies defender came over. Rafael had already covered the side. Valencia passed the ball through, and Rafael made a pass.
Berbatov was a step too slow and the ball was cleared by the defender out of the penalty area.
Manchester United's wing tactics were very good. Both Nani and Valencia were able to use the width of the court to pass the ball. However, Newcastle also knew that Manchester United could not attack if they could not defend it. They focused their defense on both inside and outside their own penalty area. .
Berbatov is tall, but he likes to play with his feet. He is not a monster like Drogba. The little pea Hernandez just missed Berbatov, and Berbatov couldn't even grab the spot. It doesn't even work.
The on-site commentator Martin sighed: "In fact, it is best to go to Rooney, but Rooney has been involved in the prostitution and transfer scandals recently. In order to protect him, Sir Alex Ferguson did not let him. However, if the situation cannot be opened up for a long time, it is estimated that Rooney will still be there in the second half." Will play.”
Manchester United had an absolute advantage in the game, but Newcastle had just been promoted to England and was full of motivation. The players worked together to defend. Manchester United had continuous shooting opportunities, but they were never able to score.
Gao Xiaodong's task today is very simple. He mainly works in front of the goal and retreats to defend.
Since Newcastle's offensive power is really limited, Gao Xiaodong basically moves in the opponent's 30-meter area. Of course, when the opponent occasionally counterattacks, Scholes can't keep up, so Gao Xiaodong has to chase.
With Manchester United's attacking power, with Berbatov and Hernandez attracting the opponent's attention, Gao Xiaodong is very likely to score.
But the game lasted for thirty minutes, and Gao Xiaodong didn't even get a few chances to shoot. Even if he did, his shots were extremely uncomfortable. It was considered good if he could touch the ball, but there was no accuracy at all.
During this 30-minute battle, Gao Xiaodong felt the difference between Manchester United and Inter Milan. Inter Milan did not have many offensive rounds, but every key pass was accurate. The forwards played very comfortably when they got the chance to shoot, and scored goals. It's easy.
But Manchester United is not the same. Manchester United plays in an impact style, wide open and close, and the last pass is not accurate. It pursues quantity to win. The more passes, the more opportunities to score goals.
In addition, Nani likes to pass people, and the timing of passing the ball is too late. Sometimes when he passes the ball, the opponent's defensive player is already in position.
It becomes more difficult for offensive players to shoot.
This is Manchester United's style of play. Gao Xiaodong cannot change it. He can only strengthen his running in the frontcourt and increase the number of shots.
Neville sat on the bench and looked at Gao Xiaodong, who was flying up and down like a little motor, and said to Giggs: "This kid can play decently in any position. Now playing in B2B midfield, he looks no better than Frye." Che and Carrick are worse."
Giggs fiddled with his mobile phone and said: "Such a versatile player is the hardest to arrange, but the lack of a fixed position will also affect his status."
Neville sighed: "It turned out that I was still talking to the boss about why Mourinho, who has the most rigorous tactics, gave him the role of a high frontcourt free agent. Now it seems that that is indeed the most suitable for him."
When Neville and Giggs were talking, they didn't notice that Fletcher and Carrick looked ugly. Because Gao Xiaodong and Scholes were together, the two of them were pushed to the bench. If Gao Xiaodong really If they perform well in this position, I am afraid that Carrick and Fletcher will be pushed on the bench by Gao Xiaodong.
Especially Fletcher, he is Ferguson's fellow Scottish fellow and one of Ferguson's favorite players. Now captain Neville is retiring. Ferdinand and Vidic are both competing for the captain's position. In fact, Fletcher also wants to compete, but Ferguson hopes that the captain can encourage his teammates on the court for a long time. If Fletcher cannot get the main position, the captain will not have to think about it.
Today's right midfielder Valencia was pushed to the bench by Gao Xiaodong in the Community Shield. This time Gao Xiaodong played as a central midfielder and Valencia got a chance.
Valencia cherished this opportunity. He tried his best to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong. Even if the pass was very reluctant, he still passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong. He hoped that Gao Xiaodong could perform well at the central midfielder position, so that Gao Xiaodong would not come. Take his place.
Valencia here is trying its best to play for Gao Xiaodong for the sake of position. Although Nani is a bit independent in playing football, before the game, his agent Mendes told him that Nani must pass more passes to Gao Xiaodong to help him. Gao Xiaodong is established at Manchester United, so Nani doesn't dare not pass the ball.
So there was a situation on the field. Valencia and Nani flew together on both wings, but after passing from the bottom, they almost only looked for Gao Xiaodong. Berbatov and Hernandez became a cover to attract the defense. .
Field commentator Martin. Taylor has been commentating for decades and has rarely seen this situation. He couldn't help but said: "What is this? Although Gao Xiaodong transferred for 8,000,000, he is a newcomer after all. Valencia and Nani are both passing the ball." Give it to him, he has only joined for a few days, is his status higher than Berbatov?"
In the 32nd minute of the game, Scholes' pass to Berbatov was intercepted by Argentine defender Coloccini.
Coloccini quickly passed to compatriot Gutierrez. Gutierrez took the ball and turned around, but he was tall and turned slowly. Gao Xiaodong arrived quickly and stretched out his foot to steal the ball.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the opponent's defense, Gao Xiaodong did not stick to the ball and directly gave it to Valencia, while he quickly moved forward.
Valencia used his speed to break through the base and passed a kick into the penalty area to find Gao Xiaodong's path forward.
Gao Xiaodong came in very quickly, and two defenders came up to block and pull him away, but he threw them away.
Into the small penalty area, Gao Xiaodong wanted to hit the near corner, but goalkeeper Harper moved to the left. Gao Xiaodong jumped up and met the ball with a lion's head shake. The ball changed direction and flew to the upper right corner of the goal.
Headers are the most difficult to defend. In addition to the close distance, it is also difficult to judge the angle. Harper is moving. When Gao Xiaodong shakes his head, he knows something is wrong. He brakes quickly and wants to turn around and fight back, but there is no time for the ball to pass by. He passed the Newcastle defender who jumped up desperately and flew into the net.
1:o
Gao Xiaodong made his first appearance on behalf of Manchester United and scored the first goal of the new season for Manchester United.
Sir Alex seemed to have a premonition. After Gao Xiaodong scored, he rushed out of the coaching bench waving his arms, "Okay! Well done!"
Although the players on the bench had their own thoughts, when they saw the goal, they all rushed out and cheered.
There were more than 70,000 Manchester United fans in the stands. Most of them wanted to see the performance of their most valuable player in history. Gao Xiaodong's goal quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the fans. They jumped up excitedly and cheered. A round of applause from Old Trafford.
"goa1goa1goa1... high high high... Manchester United opens the scoring! 1:o! Goa's 7th goal in the last three games and the third goal in the official game! Great shooter talent! Now Manchester United fans should put down half Judging from the performance in the first thirty minutes, one person did the work of Fletcher and Rooney."
