Football King Bale
Chapter 140: Hard Battle at Riverside Stadium
Although they were tied by Manchester United after taking the lead for three minutes, Bolton were full of confidence today and did not give up at all and continued to fight against Manchester United. After the midfield kick-off, Bolton's frontcourt players rushed through the half and forced towards the Manchester United goal. Elmand was watched by Vidic in the penalty area and was unable to find a shooting opportunity. He chose to pass back to Martin Petrov outside the penalty area, who took a long shot. The quality of this shot was okay, but it did not stump Van der Sar. The Dutch goalkeeper held the ball firmly with both hands.
Manchester United advances through the ground ball. Compared with Bolton, who are technically rough, Manchester United is definitely a technical team, and they naturally have to take advantage of their own advantages.
However, facing Bolton's defense, Manchester United failed to penetrate right away. After two minutes and dozens of passes, Bell broke through Bolton's defense on the left and headed to the right side of Bolton's penalty area. However, due to the dense concentration of people in the Bolton penalty area, Bell was unable to cut in and shoot, so he chose to pass the ball to Berbatov who was pulled to the left. Berbatov passed the ball and Fletcher's shot from outside the edge of the penalty area was saved by Jaaskelainen.
Two minutes later, Manchester United ended another Bolton push and launched a quick counterattack. Nani broke through from the right and passed the ball. Rooney's shot in front of the penalty area was confiscated by Jaaskelainen.
Four minutes later, Bolton finally succeeded in attacking the frontcourt. Kevin Davis headed the ball in front of the goal. Elmand missed the ball in front of the small penalty area, and Van der Sar easily held the ball.
Ricketts broke through to the penalty area on the right, and his shot was confiscated by Edwin van der Sar at the near corner. Manchester United launched an attack through van der Sar's hand throw. Evra took the ball to the midfield from the left wing, encountered Bolton's defense, and passed the ball to Bell who came over to receive.
After taking the ball, Bell surprised the Bolton players. Instead of driving the ball along the sideline, he suddenly cut inside. This caused chaos in Bolton's defense, and two Bolton midfielders quickly defended Bell. Bell did not choose to be reckless, but gave the ball to Rooney before the two closed the door.
After Rooney received the ball, he found that Nani was in a very good position and immediately passed the ball over. After receiving the ball, Nani made a breakthrough and got rid of the two people. The Portuguese faced two Bolton defensive players in the arc of the penalty area and decisively kicked the ball into the lower left corner.
2:1, Manchester United overtook the score!
………………
The advantage in strength allowed Manchester United to gradually take control of the situation. Although the Boltonians were unwilling to do so, they could only passively enter a comprehensive defense. Manchester United continued to besiege Bolton. They faithfully implemented Sir Alex Ferguson's plan and planned to resolve the battle in the first half.
Manchester United passed the ball into the penalty area through the midfield organization. After receiving the ball, Berbatov faced Bolton's defensive pressure and chose to pass the ball to Nani, but the Portuguese's poor return pass caused dissatisfaction with the Bulgarian shooter.
Robinson then intercepted the opponent's direct pass to Nani at a key position.
Manchester United took control of the situation, continued to press and got 3 consecutive corner kick opportunities, but they were all cleared by Bolton's defense.
Thirty minutes passed quickly, and Manchester United was still besieging Bolton's goal, but they repeatedly missed the ball.
In the 37th minute, Nani broke through from the right and made a pass. Bell tried to header the ball, but he missed the ball. Knight grabbed the ball from the edge of the penalty area before Rooney and cleared the ball.
In the 40th minute, Berbatov headed the ball over. Rooney passed Mwamba and Stetson and then shot from 25 yards. The ball missed the crossbar.
Half time stoppage time,
Manchester United won a corner kick, Bell took the corner kick, and Vidic beat two Bolton defenders to header from 12 yards, but the ball missed the right post.
In the end, Manchester United entered the halftime break with a 2:1 lead.
Ferguson was a little dissatisfied with this score, because this score could hardly be said to have sealed the victory for Manchester United. Especially considering the team's poor performance in the first two away games in the league and Bolton's good competitive form in this game, Manchester United still faces a considerable danger of being equalized or even reversed.
In fact, Manchester United had a lot of chances in the first half, but both forwards seemed to have forgotten to wear shooting boots today. Berbatov completely lost the good shooting feeling he had in the first two games. As for Rooney, since his outbreak on the last national team match day, Later, due to the negative impact of the Park Ji incident, his competitive status completely disappeared. If it weren't for Manchester United's two full-backs Bale and Nani who were in good condition, Manchester United might have fallen behind in the first half.
Because the score and situation were still in an anxious state, Ferguson naturally did not dare to make personnel adjustments in the midfield. He had to wait and see.
………………
According to Ferguson's arrangement, Manchester United attacked again in the second half, hoping to expand their lead as soon as possible and seal the victory.
Manchester United still opens the situation from the left. Bell continuously broke through the defense of two Bolton players on the left, and after attracting the attention of Bolton's defense, he suddenly sent a through ball.
Evra broke out from behind Bell, controlled Bell's pass, broke into the left side of the penalty area and crossed, finding Rooney who was unguarded near the penalty spot.
Everyone thought that Manchester United had scored the goal. The Manchester United players and the Red Devils fans who rushed to the away game were ready to celebrate the goal. However, they did not expect that Rooney wasted this opportunity that was more difficult to not score than to score. He He chose to shoot immediately, but the result was that he missed the right spot and the ball missed the left goal post.
Rooney's shot made Ferguson blush. This was definitely a chance to score. Even if he was on the field, he could easily score the ball, but Rooney actually missed the shot.
Bell also shook his head. He found that Rooney was too anxious and wanted to score too much. At that time, he had time to stop the ball first and then shoot, because he and Evra's continuous attacks on the left had attracted all Bolton's defense to the left, resulting in no defensive player within five meters of Rooney.
Ferguson decided to make substitutions, but it was not the previous plan, which was for the team to quickly secure the victory and then replace the main players to rest. Ferguson discovered that Rooney's condition was so bad that keeping him on the court was basically a waste of opportunities.
At Ferguson's signal, several substitute players including Owen, Park Ji-sung and Macheda walked to the sidelines and began to warm up, ready to come on as substitutes at any time.
………………
After once again overcoming United's early onslaught, Bolton fought back, encouraged by their home fans, to put pressure on United's goal.
In the 51st minute, Martin Petrov shot a powerful shot from 25 yards from the left, and the ball missed the crossbar. Then Van der Sar's clearance was almost blocked. Li Qinglong and Elmander passed the ball continuously, and Martin Petrov's shot from the left side of the penalty area was blocked.
In the 53rd minute, Manchester United made their first personnel adjustment. Rooney, who was in poor condition today, was replaced by Park Ji-sung.
After Park Ji-sung came out, he appeared in the middle position. Manchester United changed to 4231, with Berbatov alone at the front.
After that, the scene fell into a stalemate. Manchester United controlled the ball but struggled to create opportunities in the opponent's penalty area.
In the 62nd minute, Manchester United made another substitution. Sir Alex replaced the veteran Scholes with the young player Macheda, who was almost exhausted. Manchester United once again changed back to the 442 formation.
Macheda, who had just replaced Rooney, passed the ball. Berbatov's shot from the top of the penalty area was saved by Jaaskelainen.
Evra broke out from behind Bell, controlled Bell's pass, broke into the left side of the penalty area and crossed, finding Rooney who was unguarded near the penalty spot.
