Raphael is an attacking defender, and his defensive experience and ability are definitely not as good as O'Shea.

But facing a winger like Wright Phillips, Raphael can keep up with his speed, his flexibility and agility are not bad. It would be impossible for Wright to imagine that he could make an easy breakthrough like O'Shea.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Wright Jr. changed speed continuously and tried to shake Raphael, but Raphael was not deceived by Wright Jr. He saw the opportunity and suddenly snatched it up and hit it with his shoulder, destroying Wright Jr.'s balance and stuck in front of Wright Jr. and snatched the ball.

It was a beautiful steal, and Little Wright was afraid of being beaten to fight back, so he kicked Raphael down from behind.

Manchester United led by 2 goals at this moment. Rafael wanted to send a free kick quickly, but was pulled by the experienced Ferdinand, signaling to suppress the rhythm and wait for his teammates to come back.

Raphael suddenly realized and retreated aside with embarrassment and handed the free kick to Ferdinand to take the penalty.

Ferdinand passed the ball to Scholes, who understood it and passed it horizontally to Gao Xiaodong, trying to control the ball in the backcourt and control the rhythm.

Manchester City are behind two goals, and they hope that the game can play faster and control the rhythm by themselves rather than by Manchester United.

Seeing Manchester United control the ball in the backcourt, Manchester City players quickly pressed up from three lines and pressed hard, forcing Manchester United to pass the ball out.

Manchester United is not a ball-control team, and the defenders' footwork is not that delicate. Under Manchester City's pressing, they quickly couldn't control it and could only drive to the frontcourt with a big foot.

At this moment, Manchester City's defender pressed forward, Manchester United's forward could not control the landing point, and the ball rights returned to Manchester City's feet again.

Since Wright's attack had no advantage on his side, the ball was passed to David Silva's feet again and launched an attack from the right.

In the 65th minute of the game, Silva dribbled the ball to the bottom line and made a move to pass back in a very small space, but suddenly a fried croquette broke through from the bottom line.

Silva is not that fast, but his skills and imagination can be said to be the best among the players on the field. Evra always can't keep up with the pace when facing Silva's unexpected outs and passes. Moreover, her body is not at its peak now, and she cannot use her body to make up for the gap in ball quotient.

Evra slowed down and was left behind by Silva. When Evra turned around and chased after him, Silva had entered the penalty area, and Evra did not dare to foul again.

Goalkeeper Van der Sar moved quickly to the near corner, central defender Ferdinand came to block Silva's path forward, and other Manchester United players also quickly contracted into the penalty area to prevent Manchester City players from grabbing the spot.

Manchester United's defensive moves are fast and skillful, and they almost don't give Silva and his teammates the chance to cooperate in the penalty area.

But Silva did not panic when there were pursuers behind and intercepting them in front. He swung a fake shot and passed the ball to the front of the penalty area with a flower-stitched foot.

Neither Ferdinand nor Evra were able to intercept Silva's pass, and the ball was passed to Yaya Toure in the middle.

Manchester United fans in the stands couldn't help but exclaim.

Because goalkeeper Van der Sar has blocked the near corner, Yaya Toure faces most of the empty goal. If Yaya Toure shoots calmly, the consequences will be unimaginable.

At this moment, Manchester United's central defender and midfielder both contracted into the penalty area. Seeing Silva pass the ball to Yaya Toure, Gao Xiaodong and Carrick quickly rushed out to block Yaya Toure's shooting line, and Vidic retreated to the goal line as soon as possible to prevent Yaya Toure from shooting the goal.

Manchester United's defensive system is very mature and tacit. In the situation where the scene is very passive, defensive players have done almost everything they can do.

But Yaya Toure did not shoot. He saw Gao Xiaodong and Carrick pounce, but dunked the ball and entered the penalty area.

Yaya Toure is already in an excellent shooting position. Neither Gao Xiaodong nor Carrick expected Yaya Toure to miss the goal and spike into the penalty area.

Gao Xiaodong and Carrick were both shaken in the penalty area, and could only watch Yaya Toure pass slowly through him.

Facing the central defender Vidic who rushed over to block the ball, Yaya Toure dunked the ball again and drifted past Vidic again.

When Yaya Toure passed Vidic, Scholes had already chased from behind to the penalty area. Seeing Yaya Toure was about to shoot, Scholes shoveled from the back.

Scholes' tackle was for the ball, but he was old and his movement speed and flexibility were not enough. He did not touch the ball and directly tackled Yaya Toure's ankle.

Yaya Toure did not expect that there was someone behind him. He screamed in pain and fell on the turf.

Although Gao Xiaodong, Carrick, Vidic and others saw Scholes foul, they could not accept the result and all got up to appeal to the referee, saying that Scholes tackled the ball.

Manchester City players also knew that this was a penalty that could change their destiny, and they rushed over to put pressure on the referee. Some people wanted to push Scholes. Manchester United players came to protect Scholes and Manchester City players pushed each other.

The referee Quin also saw it, and at the same time he saw the lineman raise the flag. Quin ignored the complaint of Manchester United players and took out a red card and sent it to Scholes without hesitation, and gave Barry and Carrick one yellow card to each of whom he had just pushed.

Red card + penalty kick. When Yaya Toure fell to the ground, Manchester United players and fans expected this result. However, seeing that the referee Quinn really awarded the red dot package, Manchester United fans still couldn't accept it and shouted at the stadium: "Fake a fall!"

Ferguson shook his head and sighed. He could not accuse Scholes of this ball. If Scholes did not foul, the ball would definitely be in. If he wanted to blame, he could only blame Evra for not preventing Silva, causing a series of passive actions.

Although Scholes made a red card move, he quickly returned to his calmness. He went over and pushed his teammate away, "Don't argue, it's not worth it to take yellow cards. We still lead two goals. Whether we lose or win depends on yours."

After saying that, Scholes walked towards Gao Xiaodong, "Kill them! I believe you can do it." Scholes grabbed Gao Xiaodong's shoulder and shook it, turning around and walking outside the field.

Gao Xiaodong looked at Scholes's back and clenched his fists, "Don't worry, Paul, we will win."

After Scholes left the court, Manchester City's midfielder Yaya Toure walked to the penalty spot and was ready to take the penalty.

Less than 70 minutes into the game, Manchester United only led by two goals, but Scholes was sent off.

Now the hopes of Manchester United players and fans are placed on Van der Sar. If Van der Sar saves a penalty, Manchester United has a great chance of defending it. If Yaya Toure scores a penalty, Manchester United's situation will be very dangerous.

Facing Van der Sar who was ready for the game, Yaya Toure decisively pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal. Van der Sar judged the direction of Yaya Toure's free throw, but Yaya Toure's shooting angle was very tricky. Van der Sar did not touch the ball, and the ball flew into the net against the post.
