Chapter 893 Cracks

The game restarts in the second half.

Manchester City launched a threatening attack in just one minute. Sanchez passed from the right. Ferdinand and Benzema competed for a header in the penalty area. O'Shea blocked the ball under the interference of Cristiano Ronaldo. Bottom line.

Xabi Alonso took a corner kick, and Kompany headed the goal ten meters in front of the goal, but it was slightly higher.

The early start allowed Manchester City to start the second half smoothly and easily control the game. However, standing in front of the home team's coaching bench, Gao Han was also aware of Ferguson's midfield adjustments.

"The old guy moved Mkhitaryan to the left, and Tevez was pushed into the forward position in the midfield."

"What does he want to do?" Brian Kidd asked with a frown.

Gao Han smiled slightly, "Xavi Alonso."

In the first half, Manchester City's passing advantage was very obvious. They almost kept Manchester United inside the half. The Red Devils relied on several counterattacks to score a goal. However, Ferguson knew what he was doing and continued to play like this. Sooner or later, the team will be defeated. When the morale is exhausted, it is not impossible to be reversed.

It can even be said that if Van der Sar had not performed like a god in the first half, Manchester United would have been finished.

Tevez is known as the player with the most spirit of the Red Devils. He came on the field with a lot of hard work, very brave, active running, and very high defensive investment. Ferguson moved him from the left to the center. The purpose is to hope that he can increase the pressure and interception of Manchester City's center, especially Xavi Alonso's area.

Of course, the side benefit is that it will be more threatening when counterattacking.

The rare thing about Mkhitaryan as a player is that he is very versatile, proficient in both left and right feet, and can play any position on the left, center or right. He can connect the midfielder and striker, and he can also score by himself. Such a player's placement Can play a role in any position.

Sometimes when I think about it, Gao Han really feels that Mkhitaryan was sold cheaply.

"Tell Vertonghen to stay safe and guard the left."

"Tell David Silva and Modric to support Xabi Alonso more and ensure possession of the ball."

…………

…………

Gao Han's instructions were quickly conveyed to the court.

Two minutes after the corner kick, David Silva passed the ball and Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball from the left. He deceived Matic and O'Shea and then cut inside. He passed the card on the left side of the arc in the penalty area. Rick shot a low shot, but the kick was not strong enough and was easily confiscated by Van der Sar.

In the 51st minute, Modric passed a diagonal pass from the center. Sanchez took the ball and broke away from Leighton Baines' defense. He shot a long shot, which was confiscated by Van der Sar again. The Dutch goalkeeper performed quite well in this game. Robust, almost flawless.

A minute later, Kaka picked up the ball at the top of the arc in the penalty area. After getting rid of Carrick, he passed the ball diagonally behind him. Cristiano Ronaldo followed up with his left rib and pushed hard into the far corner with his right foot, but the ball missed the ball. The right post went out of the baseline.

In the fifty-fourth minute, Manchester City launched another attack.

After being unable to attack in the frontcourt for a long time, Vertonghen suddenly moved forward. After receiving the ball from David Silva, he passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area. Ferdinand and Cristiano Ronaldo fell into a ball while fighting. The referee The whistle was blown and the Portuguese signaled that Ferdinand had committed a foul, but the referee refused to make a penalty.

According to the slow-motion replay of the live broadcast, Ferdinand did make a secret move to pull the jersey. However, the Manchester United center back fell to the ground after falling into a ball with Cristiano Ronaldo, and the referee signaled for a stretcher to be brought in.

Fortunately, after a simple treatment, Ferdinand returned to the court, but his walking was somewhat strange.

After the continuous attacks failed, the fans in the stands began to become a little restless.

The time has entered sixty minutes, but Gao Han seems to have no sign of substitution, which makes everyone doubtful, what is he going to do?

…………

…………

On the court, Sanchez was also paying attention to the movements on the sidelines. He saw Gareth Bale starting to walk to the sidelines to warm up.

This is not a good sign for him.

It can be seen that the head coach is still not satisfied with his performance in the second half. At the very least, he did not complete the task required by Gao Han to destroy Leighton Bynes, so he may be substituted at any time.

Sanchez knows how fast Gareth Bale is and how powerful his impact is.

The presence of the Welshman, and even the presence of England international Sturridge, has brought huge competitive pressure to Sanchez.

This season, he is still the number one choice in the mind of head coach Gao Han, but with the rise of Gareth Bale and Sturridge, his position has been shaken, and tonight's game is so critical, If he is substituted...

Sanchez spit hard, walked back slowly, glanced at Leighton Bynes beside him, and gritted his teeth.

"Kill him, otherwise, I will be doomed myself!"

The ball was passed to the left again. Cristiano Ronaldo clung to the left to get the ball. O'Shea and Matic stepped forward to double-team at the same time, forming a double attack. It was difficult for the Portuguese to break through and was forced to Pass the ball back along the left sideline.

Vertonghen pulled the ball to the left sideline and quickly passed it back to the center to Xavi Martinez.

In the middle, Tevez's follow-up defense against Xavi Alonso was also very troublesome. This affected Manchester City's midfield and backcourt play, and they had to pass back to reorganize.

Javi Martinez pressed the ball near the center circle and passed it across to Kompany on the right.

Sanchez saw this and glanced at the center again. Modric was quickly retreating.

This was the coach's instruction just now. Tevez restrained Xabi Alonso, and Modric and David Silva had to actively retreat to receive the ball from the backcourt.

Kompany quickly passed the ball to Modric's feet. After getting the ball in an unmarked area, the Croatian midfielder turned around and took two steps back. He happened to see Sanchez running back on the right. Raise your hand for the ball.

"Give me."

Modric didn't have time to think too much and directly distributed the ball to the right.

The Croatian passed the ball very well. Sanchez turned sideways and blocked Leighton Baines behind him with his body, allowing the ball to pass by him. After receiving the ball, he accelerated.

Leighton Bynes is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he follows up immediately.

Sanchez suddenly made a sudden stop, and the England left back also made a sudden stop and almost slipped. When he saw Sanchez trying to cut into the middle, he immediately stepped out to block his inward route.

But at this moment, Sanchez suddenly dunked the ball toward the baseline, avoiding Leighton Bynes' kick. Then he accelerated and sprinted toward the baseline with the ball.

Leighton Baines almost slipped. After holding the grass with his hands, he sprinted quickly, chasing behind Sanchez, especially after entering the thirty-meter area of ​​Manchester City. Grit your teeth and chase with all your might.

All the fans at the City Stadium were instantly ignited by Sanchez's breakthrough and cheered.

When he reached the left side of Manchester United's penalty area, Sanchez suddenly stopped again, causing Leighton Baines, who was pursuing at full speed, to rush over. He was so scared that he almost lost his mind. He quickly stopped and caught up again. Sanchez hurriedly made a tackle and tackled him with the ball on his way inside.

The continuous changes in speed and direction made Leighton Bynes panting and almost collapsed.

This little man is just like a loach, he is so difficult to deal with.

The referee called Leighton Baines over and gave a loud warning. The England left-back did not complain, turned around and left, acquiescing to his foul action, but Sanchez got up from the ground, looking very helpless. .

The whole court was booed, obviously unhappy that Leighton Bynes was fouled but didn't get a card.

When the game restarted, Manchester City's free kick went into the penalty area, but Kompany's header was slightly higher and another scoring opportunity was missed, which made the fans in the audience feel disappointed.

But soon, Manchester City reorganized their offensive.

Sanchez spotted the opportunity this time, ran towards the center and raised his hand for the ball.

Xavi Alonso passed the ball directly to Sanchez. As soon as the Chilean received the ball, he turned around and got rid of Leighton Baines, but this time the England left-back made a tackle without thinking. He shoveled him to the ground again.

However, the referee finally showed no mercy this time and showed Leighton Baines a yellow card directly.

This made Ferguson on the sidelines very dissatisfied. He believed that such an action should not be carded at all.

However, the entire Manchester City fans responded with warm applause and cheers.

Sanchez got up from the ground twice in two minutes. The last time he was helpless, but this time he was grinning.

He knew that Leighton Bynes was dying.

Sanchez immediately conveyed this signal to teammates such as Modric and Xavi Alonso.

A minute later, Manchester City once again passed the ball back to the backcourt and came to the feet of Kompany.

The Belgian central defender pulled to the right to get the ball. Mkhitaryan quickly came over to press for it, but Sanchez in the frontcourt quickly retreated to near the center line and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Before Mkhitaryan could get close, Kompany passed the ball across the center line and landed at the feet of Sanchez.

As soon as the Chilean stopped the ball, Leighton Baines came behind him. He deliberately took the ball to the right sideline to expose a flaw, inducing Leighton Baines to take a shot. The England left back was confused by his movements. Thinking that he was about to start accelerating again, I spotted his pace and rhythm of dribbling the ball and took the shot directly.

Unexpectedly, Sanchez was one step ahead of him, swiping the ball forward and over Leighton Baines' kick. He quickly started to catch up with the ball.

Carrick originally wanted to double-team and trap Sanchez on the right wing, but he didn't expect Sanchez to break through Leighton Baines and make a hasty sliding tackle, but Sanchez suddenly accelerated and poked the ball forward. The whole person picked over Carrick again and quickly caught up with the ball.

Leighton Baines was chasing back, and Pepe was always ready to help defend, but Sanchez suddenly passed the ball to Benzema's feet. The French forward was unmarked. After receiving the ball, he was the closest Leighton Baines and Pepe immediately dropped Sanchez and rushed towards him.

At this once-in-a-lifetime moment, Sanchez crossed behind Pepe at high speed and raised his right hand high to ask for the ball.

Benzema, who understood the situation well, ran over this time just to support Sanchez. After receiving the ball, he immediately passed the ball behind Pepe, completing a beautiful wall-hitting cooperation.

Sanchez jumped high, used his chest to stop Benzema's pass towards Manchester United's penalty area, and then accelerated to catch up.

Ferdinand rushed over to block Sanchez immediately, Matic and O'Shea also rushed to the goal immediately, blocking Kaká and Benzema. Van der Sar also stood by the post on the right side of the goal, concentrating on Staring at Sanchez.

All the fans in the audience couldn't help but exclaimed.

At this moment, a crack was finally carved out of Manchester United's iron wall.
