Chapter 1132 Kill the game
In the 70th minute of the game, he fell behind two goals and missed an excellent goal opportunity. Tottenham players finally began to get anxious.
Players no longer trust their companions and no longer cooperate patiently. Many people just do it alone or directly shoot a long shot.
Even if Manchester United's defense is just a group of young men, such an attack will be difficult to pose any threat to them.
Without pressure from the defense, Manchester United invested more and more troops in offense and created more and more goals.
After a beautiful counterattack from Manchester United, Hernandez pushed the ball in front of the goal and hit the post, Hodgson couldn't sit still. He made another substitution adjustment. Midfielder Livermore was replaced by Heldelstone, and Tottenham continued to strengthen the attack.
It's a bit risky to use up all three substitutions at this time. Once another player is injured or someone is sent off by a red card, Tottenham will have no way to make any adjustments, but Hodgson can only do this. Faced with such a difficult situation, Hodgson has no better way besides substitutions.
The player named Huddlestone who was replaced is 25 years old and is a central defender. His strength is just as good as Tottenham. If a player like him performs well, he can be able to abide by his duties and lead the team to a big reversal when he is behind zero to two. This is simply impossible. Even Modric may not be able to complete such a task. Hodgson sent Huddlestone to death and told the fans and club executives that I have tried my best.
Hodgson's substitution was ineffective, his offense was blind and his defense was messy. Tottenham was still firmly suppressed by Manchester United away. He was full of dangers in front of the goal and could lose his third goal at any time.
Tottenham fans originally hoped that the replacement would have the effect of changing the knife. At first, they sang the team songs hard to cheer for the players, but when they saw Heddlestone quickly disappeared from the crowd, they sat in their seats in despair and fell silent.
Only the cheers of Manchester United fans were left in the stands. They kept applauding, singing team songs, and shouting the names of outstanding players from time to time, making the atmosphere of the game extremely hot.
Manchester United players are still striving to score the third goal, and the 2:0 score cannot make them feel at ease, because as long as Tottenham scores another goal, everything is possible, and if Manchester United scores another goal, the game will definitely end.
In the 80th minute of the game, the best opportunity came.
Manchester United launched a counterattack quickly. Giggs dribbled the ball forward and pushed horizontally on the left side. Rooney took the ball and handed it to Gao Xiaodong who was inserted in the middle. Gao Xiaodong immediately made a direct pass to Hernandez. Hernandez passed the heel, and Rooney followed up at high speed, pushing the ball with his right foot in the penalty area and shooting the lower left corner of the goal.
Manchester United's combination is dazzling. Tottenham's defensive players run around like headless flies, with the defense line chaotic. Not only are people lost, but they also lose their positions.
Finally, he gave Rooney a chance to shoot easily.
At such a close distance, a shooter like Rooney will almost certainly make it as long as he shoots within the range of the door frame.
However, Rooney pushed the ball to goalkeeper Friedel's leg.
Within the range of the door frame, this is the case where you cannot score a goal.
Goalkeeper Friedel almost gave up just now, but he never expected Rooney to be so humble and not to enter.
Manchester United fans were ready to celebrate when Rooney shot, but Rooney was holding it back. Manchester United fans were speechless and almost suffered an internal injury.
The on-site commentator He Hui smiled bitterly, "The cake is delivered to his mouth, but he doesn't even eat it. What's wrong with Rooney? Isn't it that the cake made by Gao Xiaodong not eaten?"
If you don't score such a ball, you shouldn't be a player of Rooney's level. Ferguson was cursing on the sidelines. He actually had great expectations for Rooney. He believed that Rooney had a chance to catch up with Gao Xiaodong, but now it seems that the lack of ability to seize opportunities will become the biggest obstacle on Rooney's road ahead.
Tottenham survived the disaster and immediately had a chance to score. Van der Fate directly shot from 30 meters away. The ball hit Carrick's leg and changed the line a bit. Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea saved the ball in a hurry. He did not take the ball firmly and fell directly to Tottenham striker Difoe.
Faced with such a pie that fell into the sky, Difu was a little unprepared. He subconsciously stabbed the ball, but the ball was incredibly off the post.
This goal almost made Hodgson and Tottenham fans cry. Manchester United already gave him a chance, but Tottenham's players were even more useless. I haven't seized any chance yet.
Manchester United coach Ferguson also shook his head secretly. De Gea's performance in this game was perfect, but he lost points just now. If a goalkeeper cannot keep his attention within 90 minutes and if he cannot keep his stability in 90 minutes, it will be too difficult to become a world-class goalkeeper.
It was better for the live commentator He Hui to say, "It seems that the winner is decided, and the players on both sides of the game have begun to perform the happy football that they missed in a fancy way for the fans."
Although Manchester United missed many opportunities, Manchester United is the leading side, and the lead is two goals. This is their confidence, and the players are not frustrated. They believe that as long as Tottenham continues to attack in large numbers, they will definitely give them a chance to score goals.
In the 85th minute of the game, the chance to score a goal finally came.
Van der Fate returned in the middle of the road under Gao Xiaodong's force, but his return power was a little weak, and Gao Xiaodong quickly followed and stole it.
There are people behind Gao Xiaodong and in front of him. If you can't add speed, you will definitely be subject to tactical foul by your opponent if you continue to hold the ball.
In an instant, Gao Xiaodong made the wisest decision, and he distributed the ball to Giggs on the wing.
Giggs had no one around and had not performed well since he played. Tottenham was busy with the attack and almost forgot about him.
Giggs quickly dribbled the ball towards the bottom line. Before he reached the bottom line, Giggs found that Rooney and Hernandez had already followed, forming a situation of double-ghost slamming the goal, and Tottenham only had one central defender chased back.
Giggs decisively gave up the bottom and passed the ball to the penalty area with a low flat pass.
Rooney and Giggs have been working together for many years and have a deep understanding. When Giggs passed the ball, he suddenly stepped forward and headed to attack.
Rooney's sudden diagonal insertion caught the opponent's defender and goalkeeper off guard, and Friedel could hardly watch the ball fly into the net from his side.
3:0
After scoring the goal, Rooney was inexplicably excited. He lifted up his jersey, rushed to the stands, and accepted the cheers of the fans.
The whole audience was boiling again. All the fans forgot Rooney's original mistake at this moment and began to shout Rooney's name, giving him applause when he scored three goals in two games.
