Chapter 790 Leading the Standings
After Gao Xiaodong scored, Manchester United took advantage of the victory to expand the score advantage and seal the victory. However, Bolton were not in a hurry to regain the score. They counterattacked steadily and did not give Manchester United too much space. In the end, neither side was able to win in the first half. Another goal came in the final minutes of the game.
Back in the locker room, Nani looked at Gao Xiaodong with great envy and said: "You are so awesome today. I can only dream of scoring a goal like that."
Gao Xiaodong said with a small smile: "Luck, luck, just bad luck."
Little Pea Hernandez said: "The last lob was the most powerful, Gao, how could you be so calm at that time? I would have panicked under the opponent's flying shovel."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "I panicked too. I'm really lucky. In fact, I should have passed it on a long time ago."
Gao Xiaodong said this to Neville, who was sitting on the other side of him. After scoring the goal, Gao Xiaodong realized that he was playing a bit alone. Not to mention Rooney and Berbatov, even Giggs and Scott. I'm afraid big guys like Erns will also have opinions.
How smart Neville is. He said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you pass the ball or not. Most of the great goals in world football are the product of irrationality. Gao, don't worry about it."
The more Neville sees Gao Xiaodong, the more he appreciates him. As a midfielder, he has scored so many goals. Even if he scored such a beautiful goal today, he is not inflated at all. Instead, he feels that his choice is not good enough. If Rooney has this IQ And emotional intelligence, do you still need the old guys from Class 92 to hold on to it?
Giggs was also very satisfied with Gao Xiaodong's performance, saying: "That goal was very beautiful, comparable to my solo breakthrough against Arsenal. If I had passed the ball at that time, there would not have been that peerless goal. "
Giggs compared Gao Xiaodong's goal today with his classic goal against Arsenal in the FA Cup final. Gao Xiaodong was flattered and said: "This is just an ordinary league game. That was the FA Cup final." , the opponent is still Arsenal, there is no comparison."
Giggs was very impressed by it and said: "No matter what kind of game, this is a good goal."
Scholes also said: "Although it was the best choice to pass the ball, Gao was already extremely excited at the time, which is understandable."
The three big guys singing together were actually meant for Berbatov and Rooney to listen to. After all, these two are Manchester United's official killers. If the two of them have grudges against Gao Xiaodong, it will be detrimental to Manchester United.
Berbatov must have resentment, and Rooney is not happy either. He needs to score goals now, but the three big guys in Class 92 all support Gao Xiaodong, so it's hard for the two of them to say anything.
When Park Ji-sung saw that Gao Xiaodong did not pass the ball when the two forwards were unguarded, and the boss of Class 92 endorsed Gao Xiaodong, he knew which side he should be on, and he also came to Gao Xiaodong, " Gao, congratulations on scoring such a beautiful goal."
Gao Xiaodong was a little surprised, but then he realized that Park Ji-sung was showing his kindness to him in public. He smiled and said, "It's just one goal, but it can be used as two goals."
Everyone laughed when Gao Xiaodong said this.
After a while, head coach Ferguson came in. He was in a good mood, praised the players' performance in the first half, and then asked the players to shrink slightly in the second half and fight Bolton's counterattack.
After fifteen minutes passed, the second half began again.
Manchester United led the score, and their formation was no longer as advanced as in the first half. Gao Xiaodong was closer to Scholes, assisting Scholes in defense, leaving only Rooney and Berbatov to counterattack in front.
Bolton's tactics remained unchanged. They still adopted the tactic of long passes and lobs. They constantly had to use the headers of Davis and Elmand to attack Bolton's defense, and then the forward players took advantage of the chaos to take a kick.
Manchester United's defense is solid. Even penetration by Barcelona and Arsenal will be difficult to break Manchester United's defense. However, Bolton's simplest and crudest tactics worked well. Davis and Petrov's long-range shots flew against the crossbar twice. Out of the goal.
Of course, Manchester United's counterattack threat is greater.
Rooney and Berbatov both had opportunities to counterattack. Berbatov also had a chance to score a single, but his speed was too slow and was destroyed by his opponent.
Ferguson made a substitution adjustment in the 65th minute. Giggs, who was strong in offense and weak in defense, was replaced. Park Ji-sung came on to strengthen defense.
Park Ji-sung's appearance aroused wild cheers from Korean fans. The Korean derby they had been waiting for for a long time was finally staged. The Korean on-site commentator vigorously advocated that the first half was the time for Chinese Gao Xiaodong to perform, and the second half should be the turn of the Korean double stars. Performed.
After getting the long-awaited playing time, Park Ji-sung ran hard on the court and quickly stole the ball from Bolton general Petrov. However, just when the Korean fans were expecting Park Ji-sung to make a long-distance run, Park Ji-sung passed the ball to him. Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong was well prepared. When he saw Rooney running, he passed through the two lines of defense with a long pass and reached Rooney.
Because he was worried about the opponent's interception, Gao Xiaodong's pass was a bit too strong. Rooney's skills were rough and he stopped the ball wide, and was cleared by defender Ricketts.
In the 70th minute of the game, Bolton's Li Qinglong made a long pass to the top of Manchester United's penalty area. Evans made a clearance and kicked the ball. The ball was grabbed by Petrov. Park Ji-sung came to steal it and was dunked by Petrov. Petrov then immediately After a volley, the ball hit Scholes and changed direction. Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar could not react in time and the ball flew directly into the net.
2:2
Bolton took advantage of Manchester United's mistakes to equalize the score.
Petrov's goal was a great surprise to Bolton people. More than 20,000 fans celebrated wildly, applauding and cheering for the team's wonderful performance.
After being equalized by their opponents in the 70th minute, Manchester United's players were very frustrated. Vidic and Van der Sar even angrily accused Evans of making a mistake.
Ferguson was even more depressed. He had just replaced a defensive player, and then his opponent scored. Manchester United could never accept a draw. Now was a great opportunity to overtake Chelsea. How could they be satisfied with just one point.
Ferguson was full of courage, and he immediately made adjustments, moving Nani to the winger position, changing the formation from 442 to 433, and launched a strong attack on Bolton.
Ferguson's change of formation greatly utilized Nani's offensive power. Within five minutes of Bolton's equalizer, Nani broke through from the wing. He did not cross the ball, decisively cut to the penalty area, and blocked the ball before the central defender blocked it. The ball was passed to the front of the penalty area.
Rooney met the ball in the middle and shot, and the ball bounced off the goal post.
The ball fell to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong gave the ball to Nani again. Bolton strengthened its defense against Nani. Nani lost the ball from the wing, but Petrov encountered Gao Xiaodong and Park Ji-sung during the counterattack. Gao Xiaodong saw through Petrov's intention to pass the ball. Gao Xiaodong stretched out his foot to intercept the ball and quickly dribbled the ball towards the baseline.
Fullback Steinson came over to intercept. Gao Xiaodong stopped suddenly and started quickly, using a rhythm and speed to beat Steinson.
Gao Xiaodong cut from the baseline to the penalty area, and center back Wright came to intercept. Gao Xiaodong made a move to smash the ball inward, suddenly accelerated, and forced his way past Wright.
At this moment, Gao Xiaodong was very close to the goal, but someone else was on the baseline, and goalkeeper Jaskolainen also blocked the near corner. Gao Xiaodong did not force the shot. He passed the ball back from the triangle to the penalty spot to find Rooney.
Facing a mostly empty goal, Rooney finally lived up to Gao Xiaodong's pass this time. He pushed the ball with the arch of his foot and sent the ball into Bolton's goal.
3:2
After scoring the go-ahead goal, Rooney was extremely excited. He quickly ran to Gao Xiaodong and picked up Gao Xiaodong. "Gao! Beautiful pass." At this moment, Rooney's slight dissatisfaction with Gao Xiaodong for not passing the ball completely disappeared.
Ferguson clenched his fists and applauded excitedly on the sidelines. He was very satisfied with Gao Xiaodong's pass. Sure enough, he was right. Although Gao Xiaodong was young, he was not an independent player. It seemed that he was completely different now. He is able to shoulder the important task of being the core of Manchester United's midfield.
Ferguson learned from the previous defensive equalization by Bolton. He knew that defense alone was useless against Bolton's tactics of beating his old master to death with random punches. After overtaking, he asked his players to continue to strengthen the offense and did not give Bolton time to control the ball.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong separated, Nani dribbled the ball past Petrov, then passed Holden, cut into the ribs and volleyed the goal, extending the score to 4:2.
Manchester United then played steadily and never gave Bolton a chance to score. In the end, Manchester United defeated Bolton 4:2 away from home, winning their sixth consecutive victory and leading the standings by 3 points over Chelsea.
