Super Marshal

The second half of the game was very intense. Manchester City suppressed Manchester United from the beginning and launched waves of offensives. The Manchester City fans in the stands were fascinated and excited.

Mansour, accompanied by Paul Futre and Mubarak, sat in the chairman's stand and watched the game.

He flew from Abu Dhabi to London to supervise the game before the game. He really likes watching Manchester City's games more and more now, especially like today. Facing the powerful Manchester United, Manchester City unexpectedly defeated their rivals in the same city. Playing under pressure in half court is so enjoyable, isn’t it?

You know, Manchester United was the runner-up in the Champions League last season, and is also the defending champion of the League and League Cup. Manchester City is now strong enough to suppress such an opponent in such a embarrassing manner. How can this not make Mansour excited? How not to get excited?

He calculated the time and found that in the ten minutes since the beginning of the second half, the ball had not left Manchester United's half. This was shocking.

"I didn't expect that Manchester United is really tenacious." Mansour said with admiration.

From the start of the first half, Manchester United was at a disadvantage, but the Red Devils performed very tenaciously. Not only did they defy Manchester City's attacks time and time again and try to keep the goal, they are now gradually gaining a firm foothold and even vaguely pushed back Manchester City's offense. Thirty meter zone signs.

This is simply impossible without strong mental strength.

If it were any other team, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago.

"Ferguson's team is known as the Red Devils, and this nickname is not false. Manchester United has been invincible in the Premier League over the years. It was not until the rise of Chelsea that they were able to compete with Manchester United. This gave the Red Devils a very strong feeling that was gained through long-term victory. The accumulated domineering power.”

Paul Futrey also highly praised Ferguson, "This domineering spirit allows Manchester United to withstand pressure no matter how bad the situation is, and even give opponents resistance."

"In this situation, does Manchester United still have a chance to make a comeback?" Mubarak asked worriedly.

From the beginning of the game, he saw that the team's situation was very good, especially in the second half. The advantage was too obvious. No matter how tenacious Manchester United was, was it possible that they could still reverse the situation?

"It's hard to say." Paul Futrey shook his head. "What Ferguson is best at is arriving late. He has been dealing with football all his life and has an understanding of football that ordinary people cannot understand. According to the current situation, No one can guarantee whether he will make any new moves."

"What's more, being unable to attack for a long time and being impatient is a big taboo in the game, especially when facing a team like Manchester United that is good at counterattacks. If you can't handle it well..."

Paul Futrey didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear.

The current situation on the field seems to have an overwhelming advantage, but it is still very dangerous. A careless handling may lead to a reversal of the situation, so Manchester City still needs to be very cautious.

"And you see, Ferguson is likely to make substitutions."

Following Paul Futrey's gesture, you can clearly see the movement on the Manchester United bench.

Assistant coach Mike Perrin appeared to be getting his players out to warm up, and it looked like a substitute could be brought in at any moment.

"Gao Han's tactics in this game were very successful in suppressing Manchester United's two wings. Neither Gary Neville nor Leighton Baines had a chance to participate in the attack. This resulted in Manchester United's offense mostly attacking the center, which was ineffective. Obviously, Ferguson probably needs to adjust."

Paul Futre's words made Mansour and Mubarak, who were already confident, raise their hearts in their throats again.

"Harvey."

Xabi Alonso heard the shouts from the coach on the sidelines and immediately followed them.

He only saw Gao Han gesturing towards him from the sidelines, indicating that he should control the ball and hold the ball more in the midfield.

The Manchester City captain panted and nodded towards the coach on the sidelines, then turned to look at the court again.

"David, Luca, come back a little bit. The boss said our pace is fast."

Xabi Alonso first shouted at two nearby teammates, and then clapped vigorously with both hands.

"Brothers, take your time, don't be in a hurry, keep possession of the ball first, and patiently look for opportunities."

After listening to Xabi Alonso's words, everyone in Manchester City knew the team's next strategy.

When a back pass was passed, the Manchester City captain stepped forward to catch it. Park Ji-sung chased the ball straight, but Xabi Alonso dunked the ball with his heel and avoided Park Ji-sung. He turned slightly to one side and was unable to brake in time. Park Ji-sung collided with each other and was knocked to the ground.

The referee immediately blew the whistle and called Park Ji-sung over, showed him a yellow card and gave him a stern warning.

Xabi Alonso climbed up from the ground as if nothing had happened, and quickly sent the ball without getting angry.

After receiving Gao Han's instructions, David Silva and Modric retreated appropriately.

Manchester City began to play more patiently, passing less forwards and moving more left and right, looking for opportunities by pulling Manchester United's defense. David Silva, Kaká and Modric acted as the frontcourt attacker. Commander.

When the ball came to their feet, they passed the threatening ball when they had the chance. If they didn't have the chance, they protected the ball and passed it back to reorganize.

Manchester United was a little helpless against Manchester City's style of play. They did not touch the ball for more than a minute, which made them even more anxious.

When the ball was passed into the 30-meter area again and handed to Modric, Matic blocked Modric in time, but the Croatian turned around to protect the ball immediately.

Xabi Alonso found Tevez ambushing him and Modric in the passing line, and immediately made a gesture to the right.

Modric understood immediately and immediately passed the ball back to Mascherano.

Tevez immediately abandoned Xabi Alonso and ran towards Mascherano, but at this time, Xabi Alonso ran over to respond.

When the ball arrives, he stops, turns around, and makes an overhead long pass. The whole action is done in one go.

The ball barely passed over the top of the defense line and quickly fell behind Manchester United. Benzema started sprinting from the front. After getting rid of Ferdinand and Pepe, he stopped with his chest sideways, stopped the ball in front of himself, and then quickly caught up. , hit the door directly with one kick.

But at this critical moment, Van der Sar suddenly abandoned the goal and attacked, falling down and throwing Benzema's shot into his arms. Fortunately, Benzema stopped his kick in time at the critical moment, otherwise, I'm afraid he would have to Kick him.

The whole Wembley Stadium screamed in surprise.

No one expected that the game situation would suddenly change drastically.

Xabi Alonso's overhead pass just now was very beautiful. Tevez did not check it in time. Modric and Sanchez pulled Matic and Leighton Baines to the wing, resulting in A gap was revealed in the middle.

At this moment, Xavi Alonso caught it.

Suddenly started, Benzema also tried his best. As he walked back panting, he did not forget to give a thumbs up to the captain Xavi Alonso in the distance. Just now, he was too worried about being offside and failed to pay attention. To Van der Sar's attack.

But think about it, the Dutch goalkeeper is really bold enough to attack so far.

If Van der Sar had been a little slower at that time, Benzema would have been sure to dunk him or poke the ball, then he would have been dead, and the goal would definitely have been scored.

Having tasted the sweetness, Manchester City continued to take advantage of the situation.

But Ferguson had a very keen sense of tactics and immediately realized the crisis. He immediately shouted from the sidelines, signaling the players to keep the formation compact and not to be fooled by Manchester City.

But Gao Han also realized the opportunity.

Now that the game has been going on for more than sixty minutes, Manchester United's physical energy has been severely exhausted. After the players have persisted for twenty minutes, it is the moment of physical and mental fatigue. This is the perfect opportunity for Manchester City to strike while the iron is hot and strive for a goal.

Therefore, Gao Han quickly walked to the sidelines and signaled to several midfielders, especially David Silva and Modric, asking them to spread as far as possible and be more bold when attacking.

Then, Gao Han entered the coaching system and activated the assist card and passing card at the same time to create a true pass effect. He also used the assault card and attack card to create a rapid improvement effect and increase the offensive on the field in one fell swoop.

As soon as the skill card was put into use, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

Manchester City once again controlled the ball through passing and loosened Manchester United's formation. When chasing back, Park Ji-sung chased Xabi Alonso, but the Spanish midfielder quickly distributed the ball to the left and handed it to the side. David Silva of Road.

The Spaniard dribbled the ball along the left wing and passed it to the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo. After the latter got the ball, he cut to the center, attracting both Fletcher and Gary Neville, and then passed the ball back. He caught David Silva who came up from the side. As soon as Silva got the ball, he passed the curved ball with his left foot without thinking and dropped it into the penalty area.

Manchester United faced a formidable enemy in the penalty area. Benzema, Kaka and Sanchez were all in the penalty area, but Ferdinand took the lead to seize a favorable position, shook his head to clear the ball, and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

Modric and Carrick, who were ambushing at the edge of the penalty area, chased the ball at the same time, but at this moment...

"let me!"

Modric looked up and saw Xabi Alonso quickly cutting in from behind. He immediately understood what the captain meant and slowed down to get out of the way. Carrick was shocked and sped up to catch up.

But Carrick is faster, Xavi Alonso is faster.

There was only a muffled bang in the stadium, as if the air was exploding, and then the ball was like a bolt of lightning, clinging to the turf and shooting towards the goal at an extremely fast speed.

The penalty area was crowded with people. Ferdinand and Pepe both instinctively raised their legs to block, but neither could. Van der Sar's sight was blocked by the crowd. When he realized the danger, especially when he saw the ball coming from direction, immediately fly to the rescue.

But the ball still hit the lower right corner of the goal mercilessly!

The moment Xabi Alonso took off his foot, he clearly felt that his long shot was successful, especially when he saw the ball hit the goal, his whole body was in Spartan mood. .

Immediately afterwards, Xabi Alonso was seen turning around excitedly and rushing out of the stadium.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 68th minute, Xabi Alonso shot a long shot nearly 25 meters away from the goal, piercing the Manchester United goal."

"Oh my God, it was a stunning goal."

"Let's take a look at the entire scoring process again..."

Manchester City's players had already rushed out of the stadium frantically, chasing Xavi Alonso one by one, hugging the team captain in the middle.

One to zero, after an hour of furious attack, Manchester City finally pried open Manchester United's goal.

At the critical moment, team captain Xavi Alonso stepped forward!

All Manchester City players celebrated the captain's goal.

This goal came very suddenly, but it was also very beautiful.
