Chapter 48 Homecoming
"Manchester City is preparing to substitution, Bale is preparing to play on the sidelines. Previously, the Welsh genius has missed two consecutive games against Arsenal and the Nationals due to injury in the national team. What he wants to replace is... No. 10? Robinho? This is really surprising. You know, Robinho just scored the goal..."
When the fourth official raised the sign of the replacement, the number on the sign was exactly 10.
Robinho seemed to have not expected Lin Sen to replace him. He was stunned for a moment, but this time his face was unexpectedly calm. When he slowly walked off the stage, David Silva next to him came over and patted him on the back. As the Brazilian walked off the stage, there were also warm applause in the stands.
The applause was for Bale, who returned from injury, but more for Robinho, who scored goals.
The applause of the fans made some smiles appear on the Brazilian's face. He raised his hands high and applauded the fans to applaud and thank them. When he walked to the sidelines, he hugged Bale and then prepared to go to the bench, but at this time, a palm appeared in front of him.
From Lin Sen.
Lin Sen's move is risky, because Robinho is completely likely to ignore his proactive "provoking goodwill" and treat his hand as air. But Lin Sen knew that his hand had to be stretched out, and there was no other reason, because Robinho scored the goal. For Robinho, he seemed to have a reason to choose, but in fact, there was never one correct choice.
Robinho can ignore it, but, then?
Finally, Robinho was not in a bad mood, and he did not ignore Lin Sen's hands.
The problem was solved by just touching both hands so gently in the air.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the 73rd minute, Bale replaced Robinho.
Ferguson adjusted the midfield, Lin Sen adjusted the wing, and combined with the current scores of the two teams, it seemed that they were very regular substitutions. But Ferguson would never have thought of this substitution. Lin Sen could even say that he had prepared for a full week.
In the first half, Lin Sen pointed his finger at the players' performance at the halftime, but did not make any tactical adjustments because he did not think there was anything wrong with his tactics. Manchester United's midfielder Scholes was suspended in this game, which is great news, because if he could only take one card from Manchester United, Scholes was the card that Lin Sen wanted to take the most. In Lin Sen's eyes, Scholes was even higher than Rooney. Of course, this was not his keen eye for knowledge, not only because this was a consensus, but also because Lin Sen knew very well what Manchester United would face after Scholes retired. Scholes retired twice, Manchester United fell into trouble for the first time, Scholes returned. The second time he left with Ferguson, Manchester United almost lost his way.
The so-called backbone is nothing more than this. If you insist on choosing a similar role from Manchester United, it is that David Silva is currently different from Manchester City. It’s just that for Manchester City, the new arrival of David Silva is far from as deeply rooted as Scholes.
The replacement Ferguson found for Scholes in this game was South Korean Park Ji-sung, which was fine, but Linson did not think that he and Scholes were players of the same level. Therefore, Linson was so annoyed that Manchester City was at such a disadvantage in the midfield. The performance of the two midfielders in the first half was a sentence of online comment on the negative score.
In the second half, Manchester City finally regained its dignity in the midfield, and the frontcourt that was supported finally began to create some opportunities and use a quick free kick to win a game. But this is far from enough. At this time, Bale is a powerful medicine. A powerful medicine that can ignore all tactics under certain conditions.
With just two minutes on the court, Bale made Ferguson realize that maybe it was a wrong decision that he did not match Manchester City's offer to Bale in the summer.
Facing the joint encirclement between Carrick and Oshei, who were also just on the court, what Bale did was just to gently send the ball to the blank in front, and then run over from the middle of the two...
Yes, that's it.
This is what Lin Sen said, he is best at.
run!
When Bell's body poked his head out from between the two to more than half of his body, and then to a body, one meter, two meters...
"It's past! It's just past like this! It's really unbelievable!" Andy Gray felt his teeth seem to be leaking, and he felt a hint of chill.
Bale's speed is very fast, everyone knows this, Andy Gray, who has commented on many games in Tottenham, also knows it, but for the first time he discovered that with reference objects, the Welshman's speed would be so fast.
Bale, who had crossed the two encirclements, seemed like a bird released from a cage. Suddenly, he felt that the world was so big. The narrow stadium in the past seemed to be becoming vast. At this time, he was like a high-speed train, and he would not leave any chance to chase back. He watched him pass through Manchester United's right rib at high speed and headed straight to the penalty area...
Looking at Bale approaching at high speed, it was still Ferdinand. He waved his hand back and told Foster not to attack. Then he winked at his partner Vidic, signaling to hand it over to him, and rushed out of the penalty area.
He wants to resolve the battle outside the penalty area! At least, leave Bale outside the penalty area!
However, Ferdinand still underestimated Bale's speed, and the latter did not give him any chance to stop him. Facing Ferdinand, Bale first slowed down his movements and made an action to prepare for incision, forcing Ferdinand to tilt the center of gravity inward, then pulled the ball with his left foot, and the speed rose again!
Seeing that Bale actually chose the outside, Ferdinand immediately understood that he wanted to pass the ball instead of cutting inward. While turning quickly, he wanted to follow the opponent, and waved his arm...
But at this time, the ball had already passed.
A pass with an inverted triangle.
Suarez, who had been waiting for a shot opportunity almost the whole game, made a slight adjustment and slapped the arc ball directly towards the upper left corner of the goal.
At this time, Lin Sen had already stood up from the coach's seat. This was the first time he stood up in the second half before the goal had even occurred. At the same time, not far from him, Ferguson also stood up. The whole of England heard the word Andy Gray yelled from his throat during the live broadcast of the TV and radio.
Shoot!
Suarez's shooting speed is not fast at all. But the angle is tricky enough!
The ball that was not happy and not high was almost bypassed Vidic's body, and then bypassed Foster's fingertips. Then it looked like it just gently stroked the ball net and rolled down...
Facing the empty air in front of him, Lin Sen, who clenched his fists, punched heavily.
2:2!
flat!
Lin Sen, who had focused all his emotions on that punch, was soon drowned by countless shouts, then the coach's seat, then the stadium, and then the entire city stadium were drowned in cheers. No one knew what Lin Sen shouted out at this time with his mouth wide open and his face was like a rage from King Kong.
At this time, Manchester had half become an iceberg and half became a flame.
The battle between red and blue was finally in equal measure at this moment.
"I can't believe it! The score has become two-to-two! Manchester United, who was leading two goals in the first half, actually equalized the score by Manchester City, with a shot from Louis Suarez! However, more credit for this goal should be taken to Bale. The Welshman destroyed Manchester United's right defense almost alone. He was too fast! 27 million. If Bale can maintain such a performance, why not?!"
"Like the last game. Lin's substitution received a miraculous effect. Ferguson needed to make some changes. Carrick didn't like it to help them control the situation."
This time, the TV station's camera did not give Lin Sen close-up shots, but to Ferguson on the other side.
The smile on the corner of the old Lord's mouth finally disappeared. He turned around and said something to his assistant coach Mike Ferran, and then Mike Ferran got up and walked towards the bench. Soon, two Manchester United players stood up and prepared to warm up.
There are less than fifteen minutes left in the game, the score is a draw, away game, and the opponent is Manchester City, which has won four consecutive games...
If these factors are placed on another head coach of another team, then the next head coach will probably be more conservative. However, Manchester United does not intend to compromise because Ferguson does not intend to surrender.
He must snatch the advantage he snatched from him!
Two players who were preparing to play, one was Valencia and the other was Irving, both were offensive players.
Valencia replaced Park Ji-sung, Irving replaced Berbatov. The signal released by Ferguson is very clear: Manchester United will never give up on the offense!
Faced with Ferguson's substitution, Lin Sen also responded quickly, replacing De Jong, who already had a yellow card on his body with a pair of wickets.
In the last ten minutes, the Spanish boy's task was very simple, which was to assist in defense with all his strength, and he didn't need to participate in the offense. Moreover, Lin Sen also handed him a small task, which was to stare at Irving to death.
Regardless of Valencia, from the moment Irving appeared on the sidelines, Lin Sen noticed that the former English Golden Boy had a calm blue color above his head.
That's a calm color.
At this time, Irving obviously cannot be measured by a mere substitute forward. Lin Sen hopes for a final shot, but he definitely does not want the final shot to be his own team.
After changing to Valencia, Manchester United completely regained the cross bombing from the wing, and finally got a chance in the 81st minute. Unwilling to lead two goals, Manchester United, who was equalized, formed a siege. After a series of passes in the midfield, the ball finally came to Giggs' feet. Giggs, who had become a spoiler, used a simple spike to deceive Vidal's defense, and then a curved ball went straight backwards. There, Irving had raised his hand high, and in front of him, Dunn, who should have been staring at him, was missing!
The moment Irving received the ball, he felt his heart was cold. There was no one stopping him. Only the young Hart was looking at him with a nervous look, and all he needed to do was to swing his legs and shoot... Then, he would become the headline of tomorrow's newspaper, and the glory of the past briefly returned to him at this time.
but……
His shooting was not completely completed!
Because at the moment he shot, one foot suddenly blocked him from behind, which failed to stop Irving from completing the shooting action, but it affected the quality of his shot.
Hart made his most beautiful save in this game. The ball hit his fingertips, then hit the crossbar heavily and bounced back into the field.
Get the opportunity, but fail to seize it!
Irving hugged his head and knelt in the penalty area. His disappointment was beyond words. A huge sigh was heard in the stands of the away team at the City Stadium. Countless Manchester United fans also hugged their heads. I couldn't believe that a killing defeated his team...
However, the game was not suspended, nor was it over!
The ball that popped up was leaked and Dunn drove to the frontcourt with a big foot.
At this time, there were three players in the frontcourt, all of whom were Manchester United players. One was Ferdinand who was always nailed to the end, the other was Carrick in the midfield, and the other was Evra on the left.
The ball flew to the midfield, and Carrick was closest to it. Just as he was taking the ball down, a figure had already inserted from the left highway.
Carrick subconsciously wanted to pass the ball forward, but at this time the offense and defense were changing. Manchester City, which had the advantage of numbers in the backcourt, was regaining its formation. Almost every Manchester United offensive player was surrounded by Manchester City players. Carrick just hesitated for a moment and saw that Bale had rushed to him. Perhaps he was shocked by Bale when he lost the ball last time. He was stunned for a moment and turned around and passed back.
There is no problem with the return book, because this is the safest way to pass the ball.
However, Carrick overestimated his passing strength, or in other words, he still underestimated Bale's pursuit speed!
Oshei, who was chasing back when Bale was starting up, could only helplessly watch Bale get farther and farther away from him. When Ferdinand found that the distance between him and the ball, which should have been closer and closer as the figure in front of him continued to approach, he was suddenly a little shocked!
Almost everyone stood up at this moment, not only Lin Sen, not only Ferguson, but also tens of thousands of Manchester City fans, subconsciously stood up from their seats, and then stared at the figure that seemed to be flying. Bale only felt as if he had wings, the sound of the wind sounded in his ears, and the green grass under his feet was constantly sweeping backwards...
The ball is at his feet.
Ferdinand, who was standing in front of him just now, had already come behind him, and passed one of the most powerful central defenders in the world, and was just a score of the ball by one person.
Lin Sen is right. If he can do what he is best at, everything will become particularly simple.
Chapter completed!
