The sixth professional football player who started with Manchester United

Chapter 78 The Key Battle 5
Ferguson on the sidelines was also very excited and jumped up and waved his fists.

This goal is too important for Manchester United and it boosts morale.

And time is also very beneficial to the team. It is very, very important for Manchester United to be able to equalize the score in the first half with one less player. It is not an exaggeration to describe this ball as valuable.

Mancini angrily smashed his coat to the ground.

In fact, he was responsible for the ball. He didn't realize that when his team was attacking frantically to expand the score, it was also constantly amplifying the loopholes in its defense and sending it to the opponent.

The defensive line that Manchester City is proud of is like paper, and the double midfielder composed of Barry and Yaya Toure has not played a role at all.

All City players were blinded by their superiority on the pitch.

If you can't convert advantages into points for a long time, it's not a good thing for the team.

Many Manchester City players on the field looked helplessly and confused at the Manchester United players who were celebrating crazily.

"The ball went in, the ball went in, Dabao's long shot knocked on Manchester City's goal. This goal was simply too beautiful, and this goal also greatly boosted the morale of Manchester United. From De Gea to Dabao, Manchester United's With one less player, the players burst out with a strong desire to win."

"Manchester City will be in trouble next time. Although they have an advantage in numbers, Manchester United's counterattack just now will inevitably make their offense a little bit of a mouse, especially Manchester City's defense. The counterattack of Manchester United just now has an absolute advantage in numbers. Even if Dabao chooses to pass the ball instead of shooting, the ball will not be a big surprise in the end."

Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu in the live broadcast room also praised the goal.

The referee on the field also stepped forward to stop the endless celebrations of the Manchester United players and urged everyone to return to their positions.

After the intervention of the referee, both sides returned to their positions again.

With the whistle of the referee, the game restarted again.

At this moment, the game has truly entered a fierce state. Manchester City has the numerical advantage. In addition, in the remaining rounds of the league, they still retain the hope of chasing points, so they will definitely not give up the victory willingly. If he can't win, then Mancini will probably be criticized a lot after the game.

Although Manchester United is missing one player, whether it is De Gea's penalty kick or Dabao's equalizer, the team's morale has risen to the top. At this time, the players' hard work can, to a certain extent, overcome the numerical disadvantage. Return some.

Therefore, Manchester United also hopes to make its opponents lose hope of chasing points.

In the remaining ten minutes of the first half, the two sides fought fiercely on the court. Although there were fewer people, Manchester United was not at a much disadvantage in the midfield and frontcourt, and Dabao's range of activities was even greater. Many, physical advantages coupled with physical advantages make Dabao's presence seem to be everywhere.

Especially in the physical aspect, they took the initiative to seek physical contact with the opponent. In addition, Manchester United also started to press high in the midfield and frontcourt, and did not retract their formation for defensive counterattacks as Mancini thought.

Ferguson hopes to help the team reduce the pressure on the defense in this way.

In the end, in the remaining ten minutes, both sides failed to create any good opportunities. After nearly 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

The two sides returned to the locker room with a score of one to one.

"Friends of the audience, friends of the fans, welcome to watch the 32nd round of the Premier League brought by Xinlang Sports. The two teams are Manchester United and Manchester City. Now the match between the two sides Half time is over, the current score is 1-1, we will rest for 15 minutes, and we will come back when the second half starts.”

The 15-minute intermission passed quickly.

When the players from both sides returned to the court again, everyone also discovered that Manchester City had also made adjustments to the lineup on the court.

Mancini replaced Nasri with Milner, and Milner appeared not as a midfielder but as a winger.

The Manchester City formation on the field also changed to a 4213 formation, with David Silva appearing in the central midfielder position. Obviously, this is Mancini's hope to strengthen the offense and completely solve the opponent.

Manchester United also made substitutions. Evans replaced Rafael.

The game soon started with the referee's whistle.

What Mancini didn't expect at all was that his offensive changes did not allow the team to take the lead quickly, but instead allowed the opponent to take the lead inexplicably.

In the 49th minute of the game, Van Persie suddenly changed direction after receiving the ball from the wing, and then dribbled the ball laterally. This change also caught full-back Christian Clichy completely unexpectedly, causing him to lose the opportunity to defend. I don’t know how he responded. As a matter of fact, Clichy caught up and knocked down Van Persie directly.

The referee's whistle also sounded in time, and the gesture was also very firm. Manchester United got a free kick in a not-so-good position. The position was about 30 meters away from the goal, but it was too far to the right.

Generally speaking, it is unlikely that such a free kick will be shot directly. Most of them choose to pass the ball to grab the point.

So maybe it was this kind of inertial thinking that made Joe Hart think the same thing when he saw Dabao appearing at the penalty spot. Joe Hart had been directing his teammates to pay attention to his defensive objects, but he ignored Dabao's presence. After placing the ball, he deliberately measured his run-up three times, which was very rare in the past when taking free kicks.

In addition, in the arrangement of the human wall, Manchester City only arranged two people.

With the referee's whistle, Dabao started. With a full seven or eight steps of running distance, Dabao instantly approached the football, and then quickly swung his right leg. Surprisingly, this time it was not the inner instep but the outer instep.

After being hit by the right foot, the football quickly flew into the penalty area. At this time, the attention of Manchester City's defensive players, including goalkeeper Joe Hart, was focused on the Manchester United player who was grabbing the point.

It was just that Joe Hart soon discovered that the flight route of the football seemed to be a bit wrong. The football flew over with an exaggerated arc, and soon Joe Hart's face changed drastically, but at this time, facing the very fast flying football, It was already too late for him to react.
