Chapter 825 Another Injury

The first half of the game ended quickly after Balotelli's own goal. The two sides were tied at one to one and each returned to the locker room to rest.

This score is relatively fair to both sides. No one has the upper hand on the scene. They all have the advantage of offense at different times.

The score was no different from o:o before the start of the game, but Gao Xiaodong and Balotelli stole the show and became the protagonists of the first half.

The first half of the game was not over yet. After scoring the goal, the Brazilian paid tribute to Gao Xiaodong. The picture of Gao Xiaodong hugging the Brazilian after causing the own goal of Barcelona spread wildly on Facebook, Twitter and Weibo, and is now available to fans all over the world. One question is, what did Gao Xiaodong say when he hugged Ba Shen?

Some fans think that with the fat man's urine, he will probably say: "Asshole Mario! You stole my goal!"

Some fans thought Gao Xiaodong might say: "Ba Shen, thank you for the own goal!"

Some fans also think that Gao Xiaodong should say: "The performance is over, let's do it for real in the second half!"

In the locker room, Manchester United players and Manchester United players were also asking Gao Xiaodong and Bashen what Gao Xiaodong said when he put his arms around Bashen. Gao Xiaodong told his teammates that he severely condemned Bashen for robbing him of the goal. behavior, and Bashen told his teammates that Gao Xiaodong was laughing at him for scoring an own goal.

Not long after the players entered the locker room, Ferguson came in. Sir Alex Ferguson was not satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half. In Ferguson's eyes, Manchester City was not an opponent at all, just a neighbor who made a little money, but in the first half Manchester United did not take advantage of the game at all. Ferguson was unhappy. After entering the locker room, he immediately began to train the Manchester United players.

"Are you proud of a 1:1 draw with a team like Manchester City at halftime? I can't see you being a little disappointed. If the second half is the same as the first half, we will definitely lose this game today. Our two wingers should play more aggressively. Xiaodong, Paul, and Fletcher, you must be bolder and be more decisive when pushing forward. We have to play on both sides. How can we score goals if there is no one in the middle? Come on, Wayne, you have to pass the ball more crisply, don't pass the ball after others double-team you... I know many of you have the flu and have just recovered, but this is no reason! We must win this game ! Not for the record, not for the championship, but to win, because this is a derby!"

Ferguson said it very harshly. He was very eager to win. Although he said it was not for records and championships, for an old man who was about to be 70 years old, he was becoming more and more concerned about things like creating records and historical status.

Of course, Manchester United's players are also eager to win, but Manchester City's strength is indeed not what it used to be. Now they have the capital to arm-wrestle with them. In addition, this is Manchester City's home court, and the half-time draw is a problem for many Manchester United players. I didn't feel disappointed, but when Ferguson said it so sternly, the Manchester United players were a little ashamed. The old man was already 70 years old and he was still so ambitious. They were so young and lacked ambition.

Gao Xiaodong cleverly raised his arms, "Sir Alex is right, we must win the derby! Otherwise, we will never look up. Who can bear to see them quarreling in front of us every day?"

Ferguson was very happy when he saw Gao Xiaodong standing up to support his words. This kid is good at it, he is smart. Look at Rooney, how can he be the captain when he doesn't even know how to stand up and encourage his teammates at this time? But after listening to Gao Xiaodong's words, Ferguson's face grew longer. Damn it, is winning just because you don't want to see your opponent's performance? Looking at your potential, you didn't think about setting records and being famous in history?

After Gao Xiaodong said this, Hernandez, who has a close relationship with him, immediately echoed, "Boss is right! We can't be satisfied with a draw. We worked harder in the second half."

Park Ji-sung also supported: "We must win the derby! I will try my best to run in the second half. If I can't run, coach, please replace me."

Then Anderson, Raphael and others also expressed their opinions, which made Ferguson feel better. He also arranged Manchester United's tactics for the second half based on Manchester City's three iron waists.

Manchester United does not have the strong penetrating ability of Barcelona and Arsenal. When dealing with the three strong players in Manchester City's midfield, they cannot overcome the toughness with softness. They can only use head-on confrontation, increase the intensity of crosses from the wing, and the midfielders frequently rush forward to grab points or wait for opportunities. Long shot.

Ferguson is talking about big tactics and specific small coordination, which are guided by tactical coaches Meulensteen and Phelan, allowing Manchester United players to coordinate based on Manchester City's specific defensive and offensive players' weaknesses.

The intermission was only 15 minutes, and it took two or three minutes to get back and forth from the court. After Mullenstine finished speaking briefly, the referee Atkinson blew the whistle in the tunnel to urge the players to come out, and the Manchester United players also put on their equipment. Filed to the court.

Manchester City's desire for victory is even greater than that of Manchester United. They arrived at the stadium early and waited for Manchester United to come out.

With Atkinson's whistle, the second half of the game kicked off. Manchester City players, who showed confidence in the first half, took the lead in attacking Manchester United after kicking off.

The Manchester United locker room had just been blown away by Ferguson's hairdryer, and they were also very motivated. The two sides started a fierce physical battle in the midfield.

In the first half, both sides did not have many shooting opportunities, but in the second half, both sides wanted to score goals, and the focus was on offense. The number of people in the defense became smaller, and the forwards also gained more space to get the ball.

In the 47th minute of the game, O'Shea, Park Ji-sung, and Scholes were playing on the wall on the wing. Park passed the ball to Scholes. The ginger head made a wall and passed the ball into the penalty area. O'Shea broke into the penalty area with his right foot. Low shot, but O'Shea's footwork was too bad and the ball went straight into the arms of goalkeeper Joe Hart.

Manchester City did not show any weakness. Tevez broke through Rafael with a fake move from the wing. Rafael hurriedly used an almost big fork action to shovel the ball out of the baseline, and Manchester City got a corner kick opportunity.

But when the Manchester City players went to take a corner kick, Rafael got up and took two steps, with a painful expression on his face, and then made a substitution towards the sidelines.

Experienced fans know that Rafael may have strained his thigh when he was doing that defensive move, otherwise this situation would not have happened.

Mudd! Ferguson was depressed and scolded his mother. The team suffered from the flu before the game. The left back Evra was injured in the first half, and the right back Rafael was injured again just at the beginning of the second half. Damn, I arranged to play two wings in the midfield. As a result, both full-backs were injured. Doesn't this mean that Manchester United doesn't want to win?

Ferguson had no choice but to let Brown play instead of Rafael.

The second half has just begun, and Manchester United has already used up two substitutions, and all two main full-backs have been substituted. This cast a shadow on the hearts of the Manchester United fans watching the game. They are now not worried about whether Manchester United can win the game, but whether Manchester United can maintain the draw.

Commentator Andy Gray said: "Manchester United's luck is really bad today. In less than 50 minutes, two main full-backs were injured and left the field. Today, Manchester City has three strong backs in the middle. Manchester United's offense can only start from the wings. Two A full-back is injured, and Manchester United can only rely on the center to attack. It is too difficult to break Manchester City's goal. Gao Xiaodong can play on the wing, but if Gao Xiaodong plays on the wing, there is no one in the center to rush forward to grab points. This is really a problem. .”

It is indeed a problem. Neither O'Shea nor Brown are offensive full-backs, nor are they fast. They can't get up and down, and they can't get up when they come down. They can't provide help to Gao Xiaodong and Park Ji-sung.

Gao Xiaodong is fine, he has a strong independent attack power, but Park Ji-sung is a defensive player. Without the help of defenders, Manchester United's right-side attack is almost useless.

Gao Xiaodong flew solo on the left, and Manchester City's defense was more targeted. The midfielder kept double-teaming Gao Xiaodong on the wing. Gao Xiaodong had difficulty passing the ball, and he was far away from the center penalty area, unable to shoot from long range. His ability to threaten the goal was also limited. Most of it was ruined.

Of course, Manchester City's offense is also very painful. O'Shea and Brown on the wings are weak in attack, but their defense is very strong. The center backs are Ferdinand and Vidic. Manchester City can't find good offensive opportunities from any line. Neither side could do anything about the other, forming a stalemate in the midfield.
