Chapter 747: French "Blower"

The game lasted for more than 30 minutes, and Manchester United and Fulham tied at 1:1.

With this score, Manchester United, playing away, is not satisfied, and Fulham, playing at home, is also dissatisfied. After the game started again, Manchester United and Fulham attacked in unison.

In the 35th minute of the game, Fulham attacked, and Koncheski quickly broke through from Rafael's side and passed to the side of the penalty area.

Fulham center Zamora stopped the ball with his chest in the penalty area and turned around to get rid of Vidic, but fell down under Vidic's close defense. The ball was cleared by Ferdinand. Zamora and Fulham players came over to ask for points. The ball was thrown, but the referee ignored it.

The game continued, and Manchester United immediately attacked and responded in kind.

Manchester United launched an attack from the right. Evra and Scholes cooperated and then made a pass. Evra passed the ball more than Rafael. Berbatov nodded the ball in front and then rubbed it. Hernandez The shot from the back point missed.

Gao Xiaodong and Nani also cooperated once. Gao Xiaodong passed the ball to Nani. Nani cut into the penalty area and forced a shot. The ball was blocked by goalkeeper Stockdale. Gao Xiaodong rushed into the penalty area and shot the ball. It hit the goalkeeper and the bottom line popped up.

Manchester United won a corner kick. Ferdinand and Vidic, the two central defenders, ran into Fulham's penalty area to grab the point. Gao Xiaodong, who is short, came to the outside of the penalty area and waited for the opportunity to take a long shot.

Scholes passed a fast and spinning curve ball into the penalty area. Ferdinand jumped high, overwhelmed the center back Hanglanda, and headed the ball towards the goal like a mountain.

Goalkeeper Stockdahl was a step too slow to make a flying save, but the ball flew out of the baseline against the goal post.

Everyone's attention was on the flying ball, and no one noticed that Ferdinand stepped on Hanglanda's foot when he landed, and then screamed in pain and fell in the penalty area.

"Leo!"

At this time Vidic saw it, he screamed, and quickly came over to stop Hernandez who wanted to help Ferdinand, and raised his hand to go on a stretcher.

The stretcher came up quickly and Ferdinand was carried out.

The Manchester United team doctor checked Ferdinand's ankle and said to Ferguson with a heavy face: "The ankle is swollen, and it may also cause an old injury."

"asshole!"

Ferdinand punched the stretcher in anger and despair.

Ferguson slapped himself hard on the forehead and let out a long sigh.

"Leo, rest well, we will win the game."

Ferguson patted Ferdinand on the shoulder.

Ferdinand sighed and silently took off the captain's armband and handed it to Ferguson. For a 32-year-old veteran, injury is never a good thing, not to mention that now is a critical period when he and Vidic are competing for the captaincy, and there is no stable playing time. , it is difficult for the boss to hand over the captain's armband to him.

Now Manchester United's official captain Neville is mainly a substitute and does not have many playing opportunities. Therefore, the captain on the field is taken turns by the three deputy captains Ferdinand, Vidic and Giggs. Occasionally Evra and Scholes will also wear them. Put on the captain's armband.

Ferguson replaced Ferdinand with substitute center back Evans and handed the captain's armband to Vidic, and the game continued.

Ferdinand and Evans are one of the best center back combinations in the world. Ferdinand's injury has a great impact on Manchester United's morale. At least Gao Xiaodong no longer dares to line up with Scholes. He retreated almost ten meters. distance to assist the central defender in defense.

After the score was equalized, Fulham's morale was a bit low, but seeing Ferdinand injured, their morale suddenly cheered up.

Mark Hughes also felt that there was something to be gained. He immediately directed his players to press forward and hit the middle, trying to see if they could open a gap through Evans.

However, Gao Xiaodong's retreat promptly made up for the hidden dangers caused by the poor cooperation between Evans and Vidic. Many of Fulham's offensive threats were resolved by Gao Xiaodong almost before they got close to the central defender.

In this regard, commentator Martin praised: "Manchester United has always had bad luck at Craven Cottage. Ferdinand's injury has dealt a huge blow to Manchester United's defense.

However, Gao Xiaodong's retracement worked very well this time. Although Manchester United's offensive power has declined as a result, at least Manchester United fans don't have to worry about the cooperation of the central defender. "

The opponent is in great condition, Manchester United injured the central defender, and a lot of Gao Xiaodong's energy is involved in defense. Manchester United's ability to hit the goal in the middle has been greatly reduced. The big king couldn't pass and Wa couldn't shoot. When these four people went to attack, it was very difficult to break the confident and high-spirited Fulham goal.

In the last minute of the first half, Fulham organized a wonderful attack. Duff passed a cross, Dempsey kicked the ball into the penalty area, and Etu Huxun cut into the penalty area to catch the ball and shoot.

Van der Sar is too experienced. With such a tall body, he fell down as quickly as possible to save the ball.

Etuhu quickly followed up with a follow-up shot, but Gao Xiaodong kicked the ball out of the baseline before Etuhu.

Fulham took a corner kick, and Manchester United worked together to destroy the ball out of the sideline. Then the referee did not give Fulham a chance to attack and blew the whistle to end the first half.

Fulham fans were very satisfied with their players' performance in the first half. When the Fulham players came off the field, they all stood up and applauded them.

The Craven Farm Stadium is very small, with only 25,000 seats. There are not many Manchester United fans here, only three to four thousand people. They also stood up to cheer for the Manchester United players, but they were suppressed by the loud and powerful Fulham fans. Under the circumstances, the sound they made could only be better than nothing.

Back in the dressing room, the Manchester United players were afraid that Ferguson's blower would sound again, so they all sat there with their heads down in silence.

In fact, Rooney had gastritis, Ferdinand was injured, and the opponent was the home team Dragons. Manchester United's draw in the first half was not bad.

But Ferguson couldn't accept that he couldn't win a victory at Craven Stadium for four consecutive years. In addition, Mark Hughes, his disciple at the time, had an "old man, you should retire" look on his face, which made Ferguson very unhappy. When he returned to the dressing room, Ferguson finally became angry. .

"Do you think we played well in the first half? Do you think we were not lucky enough? Do you think Rooney is sick, Ferdinand is injured, and we are not the strongest lineup? Do you think a 1:1 score is acceptable?"

The players were silent.

Ferguson continued waving his arms and yelling in the dressing room.

"No! Never! I can't accept such a score! Nor can I accept it! We are Manchester United! We are the British champions! We cannot not win a victory in this stadium with more than 20,000 people for four years! This is a shame! If you are thick-skinned and don’t realize it’s a shame! But I, an old man, can!”

When Ferguson passed in front of Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong could even feel the old man's saliva spraying on the top of his head.

Only then did Gao Xiaodong understand why Ferguson was called a blower. He was now worried that Ferguson would fly up and kick his shoe in his face.

Then Ferguson began to scold Nani and Valencia again, so much that Nani and Valencia almost put their heads in their crotches.

After Ferguson finished scolding, he began to arrange tactics, replacing Hernandez with Fletcher, pushing Gao Xiaodong to the front line to strengthen the offensive.

After Ferguson finished laying out his tactics and the rest time came, Ferguson said to the players: "Go out and fight! If you want to take back the championship from Chelsea, kill Fulham first! Do you hear me?"

"I heard you! Head!"

After the Manchester United players were scolded by Ferguson, one by one they walked onto the pitch with murderous intent as if they were being scolded.
