Chapter 825: Another Injury

The first half of the game ended quickly after Balotelli's own, and the two sides tied one-to-one, and each went back to the locker room to rest.

This score is relatively fair to both sides. No one has the upper hand in the scene and they both have the advantage in the offensive at different times.

The score was no different from the 0:0 before the start of the game, but Gao Xiaodong and Balotelli were all in the limelight and became the protagonists of the first half.

The first half was not over yet. After Ba Shen scored a goal, he paid tribute to Gao Xiaodong. The picture of Gao Xiaodong hugging Ba Shen after creating an own goal was spreading wildly on Facebook, Twitter and Weibo. Now fans around the world have a question, that is, what did Gao Xiaodong say when he hugged Ba Shen?

Some fans think that with the fat man's urine nature, they will probably say: "Bastard Mario! You snatched my goal!"

Some fans think Gao Xiaodong may say: "Shen Ba, thank you for your own!"

Some fans also think that Gao Xiaodong should say: "The performance is over, and I will do it in the second half!"

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

After a while, Ferguson came in. The old Sir 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, but he was just a neighbor who made some money. However, Manchester United did not take any advantage in the first half. Ferguson was unhappy. After entering the locker room, he immediately started to train Manchester United players.

"Are you proud to tie the teams like Manchester City in the first half? I can't see that you have any disappointment. If the second half is the same as in the first half, we will definitely lose this game today. Our two sides should play more aggressively. Xiaodong, Paul, Fletcher, you are more courageous, and forward more firmly. We have to play two sides. How do we score the goal in the middle? On the front line, Wayne, you should pass the ball more simply, don't pass the ball after others double-team you... I know that many of you have the flu and have just recovered, but this is not a reason! We must win this game! It's not for record, for the championship, or to win, because this is a derby!"

Ferguson said it very harshly, and he was eager to win. Although he said it was not for the sake of record and championship, he was increasingly concerned about things like setting records and historical status for an old man who was about to be 70 years old.

Of course, Manchester United players are also eager to win, but Manchester City's strength is indeed different from the past. Now they have the capital to wrestle with them. In addition, this is Manchester City's home court. A draw at halftime is not disappointed for many Manchester United players. However, when Ferguson said so harshly, the Manchester United players were a little ashamed. The old man is 70 years old and so ambitious. They are young and are really too unambition.

Gao Xiaodong raised his arms very cleverly, "The Lord is right, you must win the Derby! Otherwise, you will look down and see them. Who can stand it when you watch them show off in front of us every day?"

Ferguson was very happy to see Gao Xiaodong standing up to support his speech. This kid is so smart. Look at Rooney like a bear. At this time, he didn't know how to get up to encourage his teammates. How to be the captain? But after listening to Gao Xiaodong's words, Ferguson's face was long. Damn, is it just to not want to see his opponent show off? Look at your promising prospects, have you never thought about creating records and becoming famous in history?

After Gao Xiaodong spoke, Hernandez, who was close to him, immediately agreed, "Boss is right! We cannot be satisfied with the draw, we will work harder in the second half."

Park Ji-sung also supported: "The Derby must be won! I will do 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 in the second half against Manchester City's three iron waists.

Manchester United does not have the strong penetration ability of Barcelona and Arsenal. They cannot defeat the hardness of the three iron waists in Manchester City's midfielder. They can only fight head-on and increase the strength of crossing from the wing. The midfield frequently moves forward and grabs points or waits for long shots.

Ferguson talks about big tactics and small cooperation, which is guided by tactical coaches Mullenstin and Ferran, allowing Manchester United players to cooperate with Manchester City's specific defense and offensive players' weaknesses.

The halftime break is only 15 minutes, and it takes two or three minutes to go back and forth from the stadium. After Mullensting finished his brief speech, the referee Atkinson blew the whistle in the passage and urged the players to play. Manchester United players also wore their equipment and walked towards the stadium.

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

With Atkinson's whistle, the second half kicked off. After the Manchester City player who had confidence in the first half kicked off, he took the lead in launching a fierce attack on Manchester United.

Manchester United's locker room was just blown by Ferguson's hair dryer, and he was also full of fighting spirit. The two sides started a fierce hand-to-hand battle in the midfield.

In the first half, both sides had no chances to shoot, but in the second half, both sides wanted to score goals, and the focus was on offense. The number of defenders became smaller, and the forwards also gained more room to get the ball.

In the 47th minute of the game, Osheim, Park Ji-sung and Scholes played against the wall on the side to cooperate. Park Ji-sung passed the ball to Scholes, and Ginger made a wall to pass the ball into the penalty area. Osheim broke into the penalty area and shot with his right foot, but Osheim's foot was too smelly and the ball kicked directly into the arms of goalkeeper Joe Hart.

Manchester City was not outdone. Tevez broke through Rafael from the wing, and Rafael hurriedly used a nearly big fork action to tackle the ball out of the baseline, and Manchester City got the opportunity to get a corner kick.

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

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

Madd! Ferguson cursed in depression. Before the game, the team suffered from flu. Left-back Evret was injured in the first half. Right-back Raphael was injured again just at the beginning of the second half. Damn, I was arranged to play two sides in the midfield, but both full-backs were injured. Don't you want Manchester United to win?

Ferguson had no choice but to let Brown play and replace Raphael.

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

Commentator Andy Grey said: "Marteau United's luck today is really bad. In less than 50 minutes, two main full-backs left the court. Today, Manchester City had three iron waists in the middle. Manchester United's offense can only start from the side. Two full-backs were injured. Manchester United could only rely on strong attacks in the middle. It is too difficult to break Manchester City's goal. Gao Xiaodong can play on the side, but if Gao Xiaodong plays on the side, no one will intervene in the middle to grab the spot. This is really a problem."

It is indeed a difficult problem. O'Shea and Brown are not attacking full-backs, and they are not fast. They can't get up and down, and they can't help Gao Xiaodong and Park Ji-sung.

It's okay for Gao Xiaodong. He has strong independent attack power, but Park Ji-sung is a player who is mainly defense. Without the help of defenders, Manchester United's right-hand attack was almost ruined.

Gao Xiaodong flew solo on the left, and Manchester City's defense was more targeted. The back midfielder kept double-teaming Gao Xiaodong on the side. Gao Xiaodong had difficulty making a cross and was far away from the penalty area in the middle, unable to shoot from a long distance, and his ability to threaten the goal was also nullified.
