Chapter 798: Locking the Victory
The ball was cleared by the Valencia defender's big feet, and Carrick grabbed the spot. After stopping the ball, he took a step and hit the goal with great force.
Carrick's shot was powerful, but he could not suppress it and the ball flew directly into the stands.
Valencia fans in the stands booed and laughed, and some gave Carrick a thumbs up to thank him for saving Valencia.
Valencia took a goal kick and Sanchez passed the ball to the full-back and continued to attack Manchester United from both sides.
Manchester United continued to retreat and counterattack.
With Vidic and Ferdinand in the middle, Manchester United's wing defense is much easier. If Pablo and Mata cannot be guarded, they can only guard against their inward cuts and let them cross. As long as Pablo Luo and Mata do not cut into the penalty area, disrupting Manchester United's defensive system, and their crosses pose little threat to Manchester United.
In the 70th minute of the game, Pablo attracted the defense, and Miguel quickly inserted from the wing and passed to the baseline.
This is a ground ball pass. No one has intercepted it outside the small penalty area. After the ball enters the small penalty area, it becomes very dangerous to clear the ball. However, Soldado ran over too fast, and Vidic could only take the lead and take the ball. The ball cleared the baseline.
Valencia took a tactical corner kick and the ball was passed to the front of the penalty area. Fernandez followed up with a long shot and the ball bounced off the crossbar.
The scene was full of exclamations and sighs.
This was the closest Valencia came to scoring a goal in the entire game, but unfortunately, they were unlucky and the ball hit the goal post.
The ball bounced out, and Albelda quickly went over to grab the spot. He was about to stop the ball with his chest. Gao Xiaodong suddenly rushed over from one side, headed the ball a little, pushed the ball out of Albelda's chest, and also knocked Albelda The belt fell to the ground.
After Gao Xiaodong stole the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball towards Valencia's half. Valencia's remaining players rushed over to surround Gao Xiaodong, trying to stifle Manchester United's attack in its infancy.
Gao Xiaodong passed the ball very decisively. Without waiting for the surrounding players to come over, he picked the ball and passed it to Berbatov who was running forward.
Berbatov comfortably moved the ball forward with his head and drove the ball towards Valencia's penalty area.
Valencia's players saw Gao Xiaodong pass the ball, leaving one person to follow Gao Xiaodong, and two players went over to chase Berbatov.
Berbatov was not fast and was quickly caught up by Valencia defender Navarro. However, Berbatov did not pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong who was advancing. He chose to stop and change direction to get rid of Navarro. , continue dribbling forward.
Berbatov did not pass the ball at the first time. When Fernandez caught up, Berbatov saw Gao Xiaodong completely get rid of the defender. When he passed the ball again, Navarro had already caught up, fell to the ground and tackled him. The ball was shoveled toward the sideline.
A great counterattack opportunity was ruined. Gao Xiaodong spread his hands in frustration and shook his head. He felt that since Berbatov didn't have the speed, he should pass the ball to him as soon as possible and run around himself, waiting for the shot. .
Berbatov did not apologize to Gao Xiaodong, he just shrugged, turned and ran to the sideline.
Ferguson's face on the sidelines also darkened. With Berbatov's football intelligence, the ball should have been passed out early instead of being forced to pass it out. The reason why Berbatov had such a problem, Ferguson believed. Either Berbatov was greedy for credit or he didn't take Gao Xiaodong seriously. For Ferguson, both of these are unforgivable.
After the game entered the 75th minute, Ferguson made substitution adjustments. Right back O'Shea replaced Rafael, and forward Hernandez replaced Berbatov.
These two substitution adjustments are very targeted. At this time of the game, Manchester United, which is only leading by one goal, must strengthen its defense. O'Shea is much more stable than Rafael. In addition, O'Shea is taller and can also provide aerial firepower. , when defense is needed, O'Shea is much more useful than Rafael.
Hernandez replaced Berbatov. This was not just because Hernandez was faster than Berbatov and more suitable for counterattacks. Ferguson believed that Berbatov did not like to cooperate with Gao Xiaodong. .
Now Gao Xiaodong is the core of Manchester United's offense. Berbatov, a single arrow, does not want to cooperate with Gao Xiaodong, so there is no need for him to stay on the court.
Hernandez is a Mexican player. He first came to Manchester United and was alone. Naturally, he wanted to find someone to hug him. However, the local and European gangs are very strong. Even if he joined Manchester United, he would still be a little guy. Here we go.
After Gao Xiaodong came to Manchester United, Hernandez felt that Gao Xiaodong was a continent that was not taken seriously when he first arrived. He and Gao Xiaodong were connected by fate and were relatively close, but he soon discovered that Gao Xiaodong was not like him. Commander Nani and Anderson were all Gao Xiaodong's supporters. Ferguson also valued Gao Xiaodong very much. Hernandez took the initiative to make friends with Gao Xiaodong and became Gao Xiaodong's friend.
After Hernandez came on the field, he performed very actively. When attacking, he actively pushed forward and cooperated with Gao Xiaodong. When defending, he retreated deeper than Gao Xiaodong, playing an important role on both offense and defense.
Compared with the lazy Berbatov, Hernandez is simply a model worker. The so-called no comparison is shocking. Seeing such a hard-working little pea, Manchester United fans think that Berbatov should be released. On the bench, let Hernandez start.
After Hernandez came on the field, Gao Xiaodong felt more comfortable because he had Anderson, Nani, and Hernandez beside him at the moment. Except for Nani, who sometimes passed the ball but not passed the ball, the others actively moved to cooperate with him. .
Gao Xiaodong is strong and fast. He can pass the ball out when his teammates run into the open space. If his teammates cannot run out of the open space, he can use his strong body to protect the ball. It is very difficult for the opponent to steal the ball from him.
Under Gao Xiaodong's guidance, Manchester United passed and received the ball smoothly in the frontcourt. From time to time, they could advance to Valencia's 30-meter area, and even penetrated into the penalty area to shoot. This forced Valencia to return with heavy troops. Defend, it is difficult to free up your hands to launch an attack.
Ferguson looked on in high spirits on the sidelines. He never expected that under the leadership of Gao Xiaodong, Manchester United could actually play pass and control on the Spanish court. Although it was only a small-scale cooperation in the frontcourt, it was already very surprising. You must know that Spanish teams always call Premier League teams rough guys, but today rough guys taught Valencia a lesson.
The game reached eighty minutes, and Valencia was still lagging behind. Emery had no choice but to replace veteran Joaquin, put Mata in the middle to organize, and let Joaquin and Pablo attack from the two wings.
Joaquin + Vicente used to be a pair of golden wings in Valencia, but Vicente was plagued by injuries and Joaquin was old. They have been replaced by Pablo and Mata, but now Valencia attacks for a long time. No less, Emery thought of Joaquin again, hoping to use the veteran's dribbling and breakthrough to open up the situation for Valencia.
After Joaquin came on the field, Valencia's attacks were mainly launched from the wings. At this time, the three midfielders in the center were of little use. Ferguson simply replaced Carrick and replaced him with Park Ji-sung. The formation became 4231 to strengthen the wings. Road defense.
Both teams used up three substitutions in the 82nd minute, which surprised the on-site commentator, "Both teams used up three substitutions with more than ten minutes left in stoppage time. This This situation is actually rare. The young and old seem to be coaches who dare to take risks. The score is now only 1:0. In the last ten minutes, anything can happen. Let’s see if Manchester United breaks their away defeat against Valencia. Despite their embarrassing record, Valencia continues to maintain its strength against Manchester United at home."
Ferguson's risky substitutions had a significant effect. After Joaquin came on, Manchester United's defensive intensity and number of people on the wing increased. Joaquin's breakthrough effect on the wing was not good, and it was difficult to form a pass after the breakthrough.
As for Manchester United, because Park Ji-sung's running ability is stronger than Carrick's, Manchester United's frontcourt offense is smoother and their counterattack is more powerful.
In the 87th minute of the game, Anderson stole the ball and passed it to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong passed the ball to Nani on the wing. Nani passed someone and passed it to Gao Xiaodong again. Gao Xiaodong passed the ball to Hernandez. Accelerate forward and break through Valencia's double-team in the middle.
Hernandez did not stick to the ball, and decisively distributed it to Park Ji-sung on the wing, and quickly inserted himself behind the defender.
Park Ji-sung directly passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, who passed the ball behind the defender without stopping.
The defenders were overwhelmed by these passes from the wing to the center, and back to the wing. Before they could fully react, Hernandez had successfully countered offside and got behind the defender. His instep stopped in the air. The ball moved forward and entered Valencia's penalty area alone.
Valencia goalkeeper Sanchez quickly attacked the ball from Hernandez's feet.
After a feint, Hernandez flicked the ball and tried to beat goalkeeper Sanchez before shooting, but Sanchez stretched out his foot to block the ball. The ball deflected a little. Hernandez was a step too late when he wanted to shoot directly. He chased the ball, the defender was already there, Hernandez forced his foot, and the ball was blocked from the sideline.
Although Manchester United did not score a goal in this attack, Manchester United's few passes were very smooth and easily penetrated Valencia's defense.
Seeing Manchester United's smooth cooperation, Manchester United fans are almost in tears. For many years, they have seen Manchester United as a hot-blooded running and rushing attack. Such snappy passing coordination is too rare. , although he failed to score a single goal, but the tactics worked out, this is success.
Manchester United served a sideline ball, and Nani threw the ball to Gao Xiaodong, who was watched by two people.
Gao Xiaodong is so depressed. No matter how powerful I am, what else can I do when two people are staring at me in such a narrow range?
Complaints are complaints. After Gao Xiaodong stopped the ball with his chest, his body pressed against Alberda for the whole game. He continuously pulled the ball with his feet to avoid another opponent's steal.
At this time, Gao Xiaodong's super glasses helped Gao Xiaodong. He saw Fletcher coming from behind. After Gao Xiaodong pulled continuously, he kicked his heel and passed the ball from Albelda's crotch to Frye. thorough.
Fletcher didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to see him at all. He was planning to run in front of Gao Xiaodong to meet him. Gao Xiaodong's pass happened to reach his feet. Fletcher wanted to stop the ball in a hurry, but sat down. The golf cart fell to the ground.
Joaquin, who was about to come over to grab Gao Xiaodong, was overjoyed. He poked the ball and drove the ball along the sideline towards Manchester United's half.
Gao Xiaodong thought he had passed the ball, but turned around and saw that before Fletcher could get up, Joaquin was carrying the ball towards his own half.
Gao Xiaodong was speechless, turned around and ran after Joaquin.
Although Joaquin is 29 years old and his speed has dropped, he is more familiar with dribbling and has better combination of man and ball. After he brings the ball up, almost all Manchester United's interceptors become wooden stakes. Nani, Evra are all He was easily shaken by.
Joaquin is a traditional winger. He doesn't like to cut inside. He dribbles the ball all the way down and then passes it to the outflanking player in the middle.
After Joaquin passed the full-back Evra, he didn't expect anyone to catch up. He went down to the baseline, glanced at the penalty area, and was about to cross the ball, but just when he was looking at the center, something happened out of the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he found Gao Xiaodong chasing him. If he passed the ball, it would be blocked by Gao Xiaodong.
Joaquin stepped on it, trying to pass Gao Xiaodong and then pass it in.
But Gao Xiaodong has all the skills of an S-level professional player. When he was chasing after him, he had already prepared for Joaquin to make an emergency stop. When Joaquin stopped the ball, Gao Xiaodong stretched out his foot to sweep the ball as he ran over. In one move, the ball was swept away from Joaquin's feet.
Joaquin was staggered. When he controlled his center of gravity before trying to pass the ball, Gao Xiaodong had already turned around and stretched out his feet to grab the ball.
Joaquin tried to dunk the ball, but Gao Xiaodong was stronger and lifted the ball upwards with all his strength, breaking the ball from Joaquin's feet.
After Gao Xiaodong intercepted the ball, he immediately passed it to Anderson, and he quickly moved forward. Anderson understood the ball and passed it to Gao Xiaodong.
When Gao Xiaodong stole the ball, no one was moving. When Anderson passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, the players in the midfield and frontcourt began to run forward desperately, waiting for Gao Xiaodong's long pass.
At this moment, Valencia's players focused on guarding forward Hernandez, who was advancing quickly, but Gao Xiaodong glanced at the front court and passed the ball to Nani.
The players moving forward at this moment include Park Ji-sung, Fletcher, Hernandez and Nani. Gao Xiaodong passed the ball to Nani instead of others. The main reason is that Nani is more imaginative in handling the ball.
Sure enough, Nani saw that if he handled the ball well, the opponent's defensive player would come up. Time did not allow him to decisively give up stopping the ball, swung his header and passed it to the forward Hernandez.
Nani's pass was timed just right, as Hernandez passed through the defender, once again forming a chance to go to the meeting alone.
The first time Hernandez tried to score by passing the goalkeeper, but was saved. This time Hernandez did not pass the goalkeeper again. When he reached the line of the penalty area, he directly kicked the ball to the right side of the goal. lower corner.
Hernandez played very decisively this time and from an angle. Goalkeeper Sanchez used his foot to block the ball from Hernandez last time. This time Sanchez wanted to repeat the same trick, but Hernandez The shot was too fast. Before he could stretch out his legs, the ball flew close to his feet and into the net.
2:0
Hernandez took advantage of a solo opportunity to seal the victory for Manchester United.
