Chapter 70 Illusions
Reebok Stadium.
There are all songs, applause, cheers, and sounds.
This is the last league game of the season, at least for most Premier League teams, including Bolton. The end of this game means the beginning of the holiday, and for their fans, it means the beginning of the boring "no balls", so this game, both for the players and the fans, is the final carnival.
Especially Bolton, who has no desires and no desires.
Therefore, even if their team is currently in a backward situation, and in the almost packed stands, you can't find any solemn expression you should have in this score. This expression appeared on the faces of many Manchester City fans who came to the away game with the team. Most of them looked at the stadium with a focused look, and some of them talked to the people next to them from time to time while watching the game, looking a little uneasy, and some fans even took their mobile phones directly...
When you are led by someone, that feeling will definitely not be much better.
But this is what Manchester City fans feel right now.
Lin Sen knows how Manchester City fans feel in the stands, because he feels almost like this, but compared with fans who always hold the best hope, he is a little more realistic. The reality is that Lin Sen does not have too much hope for reversing Manchester United in the last moment, and this so-called "too big" is less than one in ten.
The situation is uncontrollable, and this is no longer a question of his lack of confidence. Instead of relying on Manchester United to lose track of the chain at the last moment, it is better to ask yourself why he couldn't win even one more game in the long season in the past.
In addition to maintaining necessary vigilance against Bolton, Lin Sen should be said that he does not think that his team will encounter any obstacles. First, the disparity in strength lies there, and second, Bolton does not have the need to fight his team to the death. This may offend Manchester United, but as long as they play normally, at least the population will not be decent. But if they fight with Manchester City, no matter whether Manchester United can win the championship in the end, the Premier League will inevitably have an extra pair of mortal enemies.
How to choose? As long as Bolton's senior executives are not fools, it is not difficult to make reasonable choices.
The facts proved this, although he was so fast that he was a little surprised. But Manchester City opened the situation early.
After the start of the game, the game quickly entered the familiar rhythm of most games. The leading Manchester City did not slow down the rhythm of the offense, which seemed a bit unkind, but everyone knows that one-to-zero is not safe for Manchester City. One attack and one defense, the game is not ugly. Time flies very quickly. During the halftime break, Lin Sen inquired about the score of Manchester United on the other side.
Still zero to zero.
With news that would not hurt morale for the time being, the game entered the second half.
The situation in the second half was basically a replica of the first half. However, shortly after the opening, Manchester City received another surprise gift package, but this time, this gift package was not won by Manchester City itself. It was sent by someone else. Just less than five minutes into the second half, there was a burst of cheers from the stands of the fans belonging to Manchester City.
"Charlie Adam!! Beautiful shot! Blackpool, who played away, gave Manchester United a powerful blow, now. Manchester United is in trouble! With Manchester City already leading, now they need two goals to grab the league championship trophy that originally belonged to Manchester City. However, for Blackpool, if they can keep this score until the end, then they will have a great chance to stay in the Premier League stadium..."
Martin Taylor's words are true. While Blackpool scored a goal, in the other two courts, Birmingham and Wigan, who had previously scored with them, were both behind their respective opponents. Of course, what people are more concerned about now is Manchester United's championship drama.
At this time, the live broadcast footage gives an interesting comparison shot: Ferguson and Linson.
Both of them looked calm, but everyone knew that under this calm expression, there were definitely different situations hidden. However, no one knew that the calmness in their expressions at this time was not a pretentious act.
Whether it is Ferguson, who has been through the battlefield or Lin Sen, who has low qualifications, they all understand that the so-called advantages and disadvantages are just a manifestation of fragility.
How fragile is this appearance?
In less than ten minutes, it was earth-shaking.
First, Manchester City took the lead in stepping on landmines. Although they tried their best to attack, Manchester City, which had paid enough attention to defense, in an ordinary corner kick defense, Dunn made a confused man-marking mistake, Bolton striker Kevin Davis easily headed the ball, tied the score one-to-one, and indirectly became Manchester United's temporary savior.
Immediately afterwards, Manchester United achieved its own redemption. Park Ji-sung made a cross from the left, and Anderson shot with his left foot from the left side of the penalty area and scored in the far corner, which was also one-to-one.
Two exactly the same one-to-one, and the situation instantly returned to its original state.
Manchester United is still the leader.
Of course, before the game ended, this is just another illusion.
----------------------
Lin Sen was a little helpless.
Whether it is a cocoon or a price for a deal, Dunn's mistake has already caused Manchester City to lose the good game, although this good game is only temporary.
Since David Louis could only watch the Champions League final a week later, Linson tried his two substitute central defenders in the last two league games. The last game was Cahill's partner Kompany, and this game was Cahill's partner Dunn, hiding Kompany. But now it seems that this seems to be a mistake. Dunn, who has few chances to play this season, finally made a mistake.
Seeing Dunn's emotions falling to a low point in the field, Lin Sen could not put all the blame on him. He understood Dunn's emotions at this time. Such a mistake at this time would not only make the team lose a good game, but may also make him lose it or be the only chance in his life to play in the Champions League final.
Although he and Cahill were partners in this game, they were actually very clear that this was also an invisible competition. Now, there is no doubt that Cahill is in the pole position. This has nothing to do with who Lin Sen trusts more, and has nothing to do with preferences. When Lin Sen made such a choice in this game, his attitude was clearly clear.
Those who perform well will get a chance to play.
Lin Sen will replace Dunn at this time if he doesn't change. If there is no accident, changing the central defender combination in the game has always been one of the head coach's taboos. Offense can be adjusted, but any defensive adjustment may mean a crack. Therefore, Dunn will continue to stay on the court until the end of the game, even if Lin Sen knows that his current mood is wrong.
A goal conceding changed Manchester City's championship situation, but did not change the situation of the game.
Manchester City is still in an absolute dominant position. After conceding the ball, the team significantly accelerated the offensive rhythm, while Bolton's side made a more at ease to fight back. The same thing was also being staged at Old Trafford.
This invisible contest was destined to be a race from the beginning.
Stop, take the lead on the other side. Stumble and surpass on the other side.
Time quietly entered the 80th minute. This was the end of the game.
The score has not changed, but for the fans of both sides, the atmosphere has become even more breathless because everyone knows it. Now, any change can determine everything.
In the 86th minute, Adriano tried a long shot again. This was the seventh shot of the Brazilian in this game!
The shooting force was heavy.
Bolton's goalkeeper Jascoranen made a wonderful save. He pushed the ball that was about to enter the blind spot of the goal out of the crossbar, which caused a burst of exclamation from the fans at the scene.
Many Manchester City fans couldn't help cursing the Finnish goalkeeper in their hearts. But soon, their curse dissipated with the goal.
David Silva took a corner kick from the left, a not-tall figure jumped high and a powerful header.
Faced with this close-range bombing, Jaskolanin, who had just started the game, failed to save the team this time.
"Richard!!!Dunn!!! A goal at the right time! He achieved his redemption! It was his man-tapping mistake that Manchester City was equalized. Now, with less than five minutes left in the game, he used a header to achieve his redemption and saved Manchester City! Now, Manchester City is standing in front of Manchester United again!"
Reebok Stadium once again became a sea of joy for Manchester City fans.
With less than five minutes left, if nothing changes after another five minutes, then they will witness the team lift the second championship trophy of the season and achieve the defense of the league championship!
Far from Old Trafford Stadium.
The dead silence of the stands made Ferguson chewing gum invisibly much faster.
The Premier League is a league that is used to winning the finale.
Manchester United is a team that is used to winning the game.
Ferguson was used to killing others, but no one could get used to being killed by others. In the last moment, he replaced all the forwards he could send on the court.
This is a desperate struggle! This is a thrill! This is a dying struggle!
As the game passed by minute by minute, Blackpool was also dying because in the other two arenas, Wigan Athletics reversed Stoke City, which means that they, who were already struggling to relegation, fell into the relegation zone again. Now, the only thing that can save them is victory.
A hungry lion burst out all its energy.
A wounded wild wolf also erupted with all its ferocity.
The game entered the fourth minute of stoppage time. Blackpool won a free kick. Their goal hero Charlie Adam almost copied the first goal, but this time he hit the post. Then, before Blackpool was disappointed, the caddie who had already been waiting on the sidelines with the ball, threw the ball to Van dersar. Van dersar made a long throw and sent the ball directly to the midfield. Anderson, who received the ball, fell to the ground and passed it straight after the opponent's fierce press. Irving, who had just been on the court, had offside and reached the left side of the penalty area.
Facing the attacking Gilkes, Irving calmly pushed the ball to the far corner of the goal with tens of thousands of Manchester United fans at the scene, amid the nearly begging eyes of tens of thousands of Manchester United fans...
