Chapter 87 Figure
Who is Manchester City's number one star?
If this question was placed last season, Robinho was the only answer. Now that Robinho has left the team, this question has become a question that is often discussed among Manchester City fans and has a variety of answers. David Silva, who has scored goals and assisted correctly, and Bale, who has repeatedly scored goals in key games, has shown great potential... are all one of the answers. However, if this question is replaced by who is the most important person in Manchester City, the answer is particularly consistent.
David Silva.
The two sides continued to fight, but the game remained stalemate.
"...Suarez shot! The ball hit Vidic and bounced out of the baseline, corner kick. This was also the first corner kick Manchester City got in this game. It was from David Silva's pass. Suarez gave David Silva a thumbs up, and a beautiful pass! Wes Brown is not Ferdinand after all, how could he let David Silva get away easily."
The game was still long, and David Silva was not in a hurry to make a corner kick, but slowly walked towards the corner flag area, then picked up the ball thrown by the caddie, bent down and put it in the corner flag area, took a few steps back, and looked at Manchester United's penalty area.
In this game, he was guarded by the opponent Fletcher throughout the whole game. Although he occupied the top of the two sides' direct competition, he often delayed the fighter planes. He was not stupid. After several times, he began to change his mind. Fletcher hoped to compete for the best, but not what he hoped. He had more important tasks. So he made some changes and he put his position closer to the opponent's penalty area.
This corner kick is the result of the change.
Settings defense is similar. Man-to-peer and level are the key. Due to Ferdinand's absence, Manchester United's defense line in this game is far from their strongest line. Vidic is still their commanding heights. He is also responsible for marking against Manchester City's highest point Kompany. After stopping the two sides from pushing and shoving in the penalty area, the referee blew the whistle.
Just as everyone in the penalty area was instantly moving towards the penalty area, a figure suddenly ran out of the penalty area. At this time, David Silva's ball did not go to the penalty area, and a ground ball was passed to the responder.
"Tactical corner kick!"
Not that much surprise. But Andy Gray's eyes were indeed lit up.
Suarez came out of the penalty area to meet David Silva. When the Uruguayan received the ball, he turned around easily and faced the still dense penalty area.
Except for Carrick coming out to press Suarez, other Manchester United players did not dare to relax their vigilance because their respective targets were still motionless in the penalty area. From a certain perspective, this is a set piece, but the distance is closer.
All eyes were staring at Suarez, waiting for his next move, but he did not send the ball into the penalty area, but turned his arch and sent the ball towards the bottom line.
There is David Silva.
Everything was just in the blink of an eye, and David Silva, who entered the penalty area from the corner flag area, was unguarded. He was originally protecting the back post, but Evra, who had just woken up in his dream, rushed up immediately. But it was too late.
...
Lin Sen's eyes were staring straight at Manchester United's direction in the penalty area.
The personal performance of the star, the opponent's mistakes, and the referee's misjudgment... There are many factors that determine a top-level competition, but very few can make the coach decide before the game. Lin Sen has enough judgment on this game. The most likely situation is that no one of the two sides can do anything to each other. The deadlock in the competition has always been the most difficult to break. Among them, the head coach can make a fuss. Settings are undoubtedly one of them.
This special set-piece arrangement is one of Lin Sen's winning and losing hands. Moreover, this arrangement can only be one-time, because Manchester United can't let you do the second time as usual.
"David Silva...will he shoot? No! He chose to pass the ball, Vidal inserted from the backcourt at high speed and shot!!"
Vidal has not many offensive tasks in this game, and there are almost no scenes in his positional offense. His main task is defense. In addition to set pieces, especially this time set pieces, the role he plays is the role of the killer.
David Silva's pass was just right as ever.
All Vidal needs to do is adjust his posture and then use all his strength!
"vidal…………goallll…”
When the ball crossed Kutzchuk's fingertips like a meteor and broke into the goal, bringing the net high, the entire Wembley Stadium suddenly became a world of ice and fire. Manchester United fans in the stands in the west were silent, as if they were snow and ice. Manchester City fans in the stands in the east raised their arms high and became a sea of joy.
Seeing Ada sitting next to him jumping up from her seat like a child, and then dancing happily, Boya knew that she would undoubtedly look extremely conspicuous when she sat upright, so she stood up and applauded.
In the stand on the other side, Gary Cook raised his arms high, beside him, Mubarak also stood up with a smile on his face and his hands clapped slowly.
Lin Sen on the field raised his right arm tightly at the moment of scoring the goal, then turned around and slapped Kidd and others to celebrate.
"At the 31st minute of the game, Manchester City took the lead in breaking the deadlock. The one who opened the situation for them was Chilean midfielder Vidal, a player who came to Manchester City with 16 million. This game was more defending in the backcourt. No one expected that he would be the first to get so close to the opponent's goal, and his first shot was the lead for Manchester City. Now, the pressure has come to Manchester United."
pressure?
Of course there is, but Ferguson, who was sitting in the coach, didn't even lift his butt throughout the whole process. He just looked at the Manchester City players celebrating on the stadium. It was a bit unexpected to lose the ball, but it was not anyone's fault. This was far from the time for him to make adjustments, because the game was still time and the balance of the situation between the two sides was not broken by the change in the score.
The game was also as Ferguson's judgment. Manchester City's goal, in addition to making Manchester City's morale stronger in Linson's eyes and causing some emotions to fluctuate slightly when the goal was lost, did not overwhelm the balance of the game. Both sides were still coming and going, the middle of the midfield was still wall-to-wall, and the two sides were still the key offensive areas of the two teams.
The game soon came to stoppage time in the first half. Because of Manchester City's goal, the referee gave a minute of stoppage time.
But this minute is silent.
After the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Linson saw Ferguson quickly get up from the coach's seat and walk into the corridor.
In the first half, Manchester City led, which is a normal score. But from now on, Ferguson cannot continue to be "indifferent" to falling behind like in the first half, because from the beginning of the second half, the "1:0" that seems to be easily changed will gradually become pressure from Manchester United over time. Therefore, Ferguson must make some changes in the second half. This change may not necessarily occur at the beginning of the second half, but it will definitely occur.
As for Lin Sen. One to zero is not enough to make him proud, but no matter what, at least, he can enter the locker room with a better mood.
Because of the leading position, the atmosphere in the locker room is good. Although it is not very happy, the players' expressions are relatively relaxed and their emotions are also relaxed. Lin Sen, who walked into the locker room, had no intention of adding unnecessary pressure to the players, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he should pour cold water on him.
"Guys."
After letting the half-time highlights go, Lin Sen first clapped his hands, attracted the attention of all the players, and then said, "We did a good job in the first half, so, probably what I want to tell you. You all know very well. But as your head coach, I still have to talk too much. Because at this moment, can you imagine what the conversation on that side will be?"
As he said that, Lin Sen pointed to the direction of Manchester United's locker room.
"The person standing there in the position I am standing there. I don't think I need to introduce it. The group of people sitting there in the position you are sitting there. I don't think I need to introduce it. What I want to say is that they are Manchester United! Guys! I hope you can re-understand the meaning of this name. It is a team that you can't relax your guard even if you are eighty-nine minutes behind. Because..."
Looking at the faces that gradually became more focused from ease and then again, Lin Sen said word by word: "Victory belongs to the team that leads to the end, not the team that is forty-five minutes."
...
In the stands, Old Miller did not leave his seat during the intermission. Not only did he not leave, his eyes did not even leave the field, although at this time, there were more empty green fields on the field besides some interactive programs.
The mcfc bar closed today, and Old Miller fulfilled his promise to himself. As long as Manchester City can enter the final, he will definitely not watch the game in front of the TV. At present, Manchester City is the leading side. Although it is just a ball, it is enough to make Manchester City fans happy, at least more than the fans on the other side.
At this time, Old Miller saw a person walking out of the corridor, a figure with silver hair and slightly fat. This figure is not only familiar to Manchester United fans, but also to Manchester City fans, but it is because of love and hate. Old Miller no longer remembers how much humiliation this person has brought to Manchester City fans, including himself.
Just as the figure walked to the coaching seat, another person walked out of the corridor, with a black hair and black eyes, and a figure that was obviously much thinner than the figure just now. Old Miller watched him slowly heading towards the coaching seat in another direction.
This figure is already familiar to Manchester City fans, and Manchester United fans will gradually become familiar to them. Although he has been in Manchester for less than a season, he has occupied a position in the minds of Manchester City fans, because this season, Manchester City has shown something that Manchester City fans have long lost, called confidence.
Drawing two Liverpool, defeating Chelsea two times, defeating Manchester United, and defeating Arsenal... No team that is well-known in the Premier League can gain an advantage under his command.
How can you be confident?
