Football King Bale
Chapter 119: Two Wings Fighting for the Front
Not only the Manchester United players on the field realized the crisis of the game, but Ferguson on the sidelines also saw it. In order to avoid a three-game losing streak in the league at Craven Farm, the old man quickly took measures.
In the past one hour or so, Valencia's performance on the court was very mediocre. There was no other way to do it except pass from the right side, and it was even more useless to switch to the left side. The old man decided to replace him.
In the 67th minute of the game, Manchester United made their first substitution in the field, and the Portuguese Nani replaced Valencia.
Because Manchester United's left side is close to the bench, Nani directly occupied this way after he came on the field, and he had no intention of switching back with Bell.
Nani, like his brother Ronaldo, has a more balanced left and right foot, but unlike Ronaldo who played as a right midfielder when he was at Manchester United, Nani prefers to play on the left.
In fact, Ronaldo also likes to play on the left, but because when he was at Manchester United, Giggs dominated Manchester United's left, the Portuguese had no choice but to play right midfielder.
During Manchester United's three consecutive championships, although Ronaldo has become the absolute core of Manchester United, if he wants to compete with Giggs for a position, it must be no problem, but he did not do this, and he still plays the right midfielder position. Only when Giggs is not on the field, or when he appears in the middle, does he change to the left.
It is also this kind of general knowledge that has led to the glory of Manchester United's three consecutive championships, and it has also made Ronaldo himself.
Think about it, if Cristiano Ronaldo and Giggs had a conflict, then Manchester United's formation might be completely messed up. After all, even if Ronaldo is favored in the eyes of the old man, when he really conflicts with Giggs, it is really hard to say which side the old man will stand on.
………………
Nani didn't mean to give way to the left for Bell, and Bell didn't try to grab him. In this game, he used Robben's experience card. Although the five-minute possession time has passed, he still has no pressure to play right midfielder under the effect of the experience card.
Nani's overall strength may not be much better than Valencia, but after he came on the stage, although there was no communication between the two, they formed a good echo with Bell on the left. The threat of Manchester United has also been greatly strengthened at this moment.
Not long after his debut, Nani formed a cooperation with Evra on the left, and the latter broke through the bottom and sent a cross.
Berbatov grabbed the spot near the penalty spot, and just when people thought he had a header this time, something dumbfounding happened: Scholes appeared on the left front of Berbatov, and Berbatov's header hit the back of Scholes by no coincidence, deflected and slowed down.
The Fulham goalkeeper had already handed in the gun when he saw Berbatov heading the ball to the dead corner in the opposite direction. Unexpectedly, the ball was blocked by Scholes back to the middle, and Stockdale naturally accepted the gift with a smile. , easily confiscated the ball.
Fulham's goal kick then fell to Manchester United's feet, and Scholes divided the ball to the right. Bell dribbled the ball across the half and cut in close to the penalty area, but was strictly guarded by Fulham players, so he had to pass the ball back to Scholes in the middle.
Because Bell's breakthrough and inside cut on the right attracted Fulham's defensive attention, and the left defense once again became empty.
Scholes has good vision and his long balls are a must. Facing Bell's return pass, Scholes chose to pass the ball straight without stopping, finding Nani on the left.
When Nani received the ball, there was almost no defensive force in front of him. He immediately dribbled the ball to the left rib of the penalty area, and was intercepted by Fulham midfielder Etuhu when he was about to enter the penalty area.
At this moment, Nani is not the Manchester United three heroes who later said with Ashley Young and Valencia that "Yang can't shoot and pass". Now he is a nerve knife, because you don't know when he will Choose to pass, when to choose to shoot.
This time, Nani did not choose to rush to death, but before Etuhu approached, he passed the ball and found Berbatov in the penalty area. Berbatov turned around in the penalty area and shot low, but the angle was too straight and was confiscated by Stockdal.
………………
Manchester United had been attacking for more than ten minutes in a row, plus the full time reached the 70th minute, the players' physical fitness had reached a limit and they needed to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Fulham players took this opportunity to launch a counterattack and once again threatened Manchester United's goal. As a result, Evans fouled Fulham striker Zamora in front of the penalty area and interrupted Fulham's attack, but he himself received a yellow card for this.
Fulham's free kick once again focused on Manchester United's human wall, and the bounced ball was caught by Simon Davies. Simon Davis dribbled the ball into the Manchester United penalty area and chose to pass the ball. Murphy's low shot from the lower right corner before the penalty area was confiscated by Van der Sar.
Seeing that the team was unable to rewrite the score, Ferguson couldn't sit still. In the 75th minute of the game, he played the last two cards in his hand. Giggs and Owen replaced Scholes and Hernandez respectively.
After all, Scholes is 35 years old, and he fought Newcastle for 90 minutes on Monday. At 70 minutes of the game, his physical strength has already appeared.
Giggs did not appear in the left midfielder after his debut, but appeared in the midfielder position before Scholes, responsible for the organization and scheduling of the team.
In fact, as he grows older, Giggs' position has become closer to the middle in recent years. After all, Wang Laoji is one year older than Scholes, and will be 37 years old by the end of this year.
However, while losing his speed, Wang Laoji's passing skills have improved a lot, so he still has a stable appearance in Manchester United.
After Ryan Giggs replaced Scholes, the Manchester United midfielder maintained his experience while also strengthening his vitality. With Wang Laoji's current physical strength, it is difficult to maintain a good state in a 90-minute high-intensity Premier League game, but there is no problem at all in the halftime, let alone just 15 minutes.
Therefore, under the deployment of Giggs, Manchester United once again suppressed Fulham on the scene.
In the 77th minute of the game, a mid-range pass from Giggs almost pierced through Fulham's defense. Seeing the ball fly by, he was worried about being broken by Nani on the left. Fulham midfielder Danny Murphy chose to intercept the ball with his hands.
However, the referee Walton saw the foul and awarded Manchester United a free kick in a good position.
………………
At the moment when Walton fouled Murphy, Nani had already held the ball in his hands, and his desire to take this free kick was very strong.
Originally, after Giggs came on the field, he had priority for Manchester United's free kick. However, because this free kick is close to the left, it is not suitable for left-footed players to take the penalty. In addition, this free kick is farther from the goal and is not within his effective range. In addition, Nani said that I want to take a penalty. It looked like he didn't bother to go over and argue with him.
As for Bell on the right, he didn't rush over to find himself uncomfortable. He knew very well that even if he passed by himself, the Portuguese would not ignore him.
Although he is the most expensive player in the history of Manchester United and the top scorer in the Premier League last season, he is too young and a newcomer, so he does not have much prestige in the Manchester United team.
However, Bell believes that as long as he gradually shows his absolute strength in the team, he will eventually win everything he hopes for. Just like Ronaldo at the beginning, when he first arrived at Manchester United, who waited to see him? But when he helped Manchester United win the Premier League and the Champions League with absolute strength, even Wayne Rooney, England's top card, and the rebellious Carlos Tevez, would take the initiative to fight for him.
On the football field, people eat with their feet. Respect and prestige need to be spoken by results.
Although the free kick was nearly 40 yards away from the goal and the position was relatively biased, Nani still chose to attack the goal directly.
It has to be said that the Portuguese's free kick skills are still good. The quality of this free kick is very high. It flew out of the baseline by rubbing the crossbar, scaring the Fulham goalkeeper and the fans behind the goal into a cold sweat.
………………
Manchester United continued to put pressure on the Fulham goal and almost took the lead again. Bell's breakthrough on the right caused the Fulham players to clear the ball out of the baseline. Bell's right-hand corner then slid into the Fulham penalty area and found Vidic near the penalty spot. It's a pity that the Serbian, wearing the captain's armband, missed the chance to rewrite the score with his header deflected.
Three minutes later, Manchester United made a comeback.
This corner kick, and the one three minutes ago, are completely familiar recipes and familiar tastes. It was still Bell's breakthrough on the right that forced the Fulham players to make a corner kick.
But in the end Manchester United relied on a corner kick to break through Fulham's goal, but this time it was changed to the left.
Nani made up his mind to firmly control the set-piece opportunity on the left. He failed to break through Evra, and after the ball was poked out of the baseline by a Fulham player, he immediately ran to the corner with the ball in his arms. flag area.
In the past few minutes, Manchester United's continuous corner kicks have caused a lot of threats to Fulham's goal, causing Fulham's defense of corner kicks to be a bit overly tense. As a result, in the defense of this corner kick, their players made a mistake.
Their central defender Hangeland, although he won the competition with Bell for the front point, the result was that the Norwegian international regretted that he had won the point. Because under the pressure of Bell, he actually pushed the ball into his own goal!
2:1, relying on an own goal by the Fulham central defender, Manchester United was lucky to exceed the score again.
