I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils - Chapter 405
The Manchester City players celebrated with excitement.
This time it’s the Manchester United players who surrounded the referee to complain and protest. Manchester United’s captain on the field today is Smalling. He pointed to Fernandinho and Bruno Fernandez, meaning his teammate. I was fouled by that guy just now. Manchester City’s goal was fouled first, was invalid, and should be cancelled.
Atkinson shook his head straight, he signaled that in his opinion, it was not a foul, and Manchester City had no problem with this goal.
Ye Su shouted from the sidelines: “That’s a foul! A foul! Damn it!”
Regarding Fernandinho’s tackle, the commentator’s views were also inconsistent. Some commentators believe that Fernandinho’s tackle is no problem and there is no foul. There are also commentators who believe that it was a foul, and the referee should have sounded the whistle to terminate Manchester City’s counterattack.
“It’s okay now. Both Guardiola and Ye Su are very dissatisfied with the referee’s penalty.” Lineker laughed loudly. The slow motion also played back the previous Haaland goal and the time after Sterling’s goal. The reaction of the two coaches on the sidelines.
At the end of the first half, the score did not change again, and the two sides temporarily tied.
………………
During the intermission, Ye Su especially urged Rashford and Mbappé to be more active on the wing in the second half of the game.
In the face of Manchester City’s defensive tactics, Manchester United needs to pull the opponent’s defense as much as possible on the wing, and it is best to use the breakthrough to draw the central defender out.
“You said, when the second half of the game starts, will Manchester City suddenly storm out?” Ye Su asked his assistant from the coaching bench before the start of the second half.
“It’s possible.” All Carrick held this view.
“If so, that’s fine.” Ye Su nodded. When opponents like Manchester City want to defend, there are really few ways to score their goals.
With Manchester City’s offensive ability, Manchester United will have a lot of defensive pressure, but Ye Su is not afraid of this.
Still the same sentence, Ye Su had a lot of confidence in his players for an offensive period.
However, Ye Su was disappointed. After the start of the second half, Manchester City did not press out the attack as he hoped, and they still played in an orderly manner.
Obviously, Guardiola has learned the lessons of last season’s 0:5 defeat to Manchester United. In the face of Manchester United’s strong offensive firepower, the first thing Manchester City must do is to defend.
Manchester City can accept a tie in this game, as long as the point difference is not opened by Manchester United.
Manchester City is very experienced when facing middle and lower teams. Guardiola’s plan is to chase points as much as possible in other games, and in this game against Manchester United, he must not lose to his opponent.
Although there are only six rounds left in the league, and Manchester City are still 4 points behind Manchester United, Guardiola is actually not too nervous.
Because he has studied Manchester United’s schedule, Manchester United is currently still advancing in the Premier League, the Champions League and the FA Cup. It is impossible for Manchester United in the third line to maintain its high winning percentage in the later schedule.
But Manchester City is different. They have already been eliminated in the FA Cup and are on the verge of being eliminated in the Champions League. Although this is not a good thing, it is good news for Manchester City to compete for the Premier League title. It means that they can devote themselves to it. Focus on the Premier League.
With the strength of Manchester City, it is completely possible to ensure that all opponents behind are taken, and then waiting for the multi-line battle of Manchester United to make mistakes, they can take the opportunity to catch up and even overtake Manchester United.
Ye Su is different. He wants to beat Manchester City in this game and kill the opponent in a direct duel. That way Manchester United can lead Manchester City by 7 points. With only 6 games left in the league, Manchester United will not give Manchester City a chance as long as they play normally.
………………
Manchester City played conservatively and securely, and Manchester United could only continue to attack.
Manchester United’s continuous offensive finally knocked on Manchester City’s door at the 71st minute of the game.
Mbappe sent a cross, and Harland pulled out from the penalty area to respond. He made a move to break through from the center, but passed the ball to Bellashford on the left.
Rashford broke through with the ball consecutively, he attracted two Manchester City defenders, and then passed the ball under his feet to Bruno Fernandez.
Bruno Fernandez swung his feet and made a posture to shoot directly, Manchester City’s defensive players did not dare to neglect, Fernandinho immediately rushed to intercept.
When Fernandinho jumped up and used his back to block Bruno Fernandez’s shot, the Portuguese midfielder suddenly passed a straight ball!
Mbappe received a pass from Bruno Fernandez at the front of the penalty area and he crossed directly.
Harland took the ball with his back, knocked his heel, and returned the ball to Bruno Fernandez.
………………
When the Portuguese midfielder received the ball, he took the opportunity to hook the football, then turned around and successfully entered the penalty area.
In this way, the Manchester City defenders who defended him would not dare to rush. Because once the two sides have obvious physical contact, and the other side falls to the ground, it may give the opponent a penalty.
Bruno Fernandez fiddled with the ball at his feet, he was observing the running position of his teammates.
Harland had Kompany by his side and couldn’t pass it.
Rashford and Mbappé are on the wing, and it is okay to pass directly, but in that case, the effect of this offense will be greatly reduced.
Bruno Fernandez decided to go it alone.
He put up one hand, took the pressure of Fernandinho, then dialed the ball with his left foot, suddenly moved forward half a step, squeezed Otamendi vigorously, and then raised his right foot to force a shot. .
Otamendi was in a hurry, he was about to shoot, and he absolutely couldn’t let the opponent succeed!
“No!” Fernandinho shouted.
But it was too late, Otamendi reached out and just pushed behind Bruno Fernandez, hoping that the Portuguese midfielder who was about to shoot loses balance, but unexpectedly, Bruno Fernandez immediately fell to the ground!
beep!
The referee Atkinson’s whistle blew and he ran up and pointed to the penalty spot. At the same time, he took out a yellow card to warn Otamendi.
………………
Compani and Fernandinho were so angry that, in their opinion, Otamendi’s frustrated look was the least deserved. Don’t admit your fate at this time, just pretend that you haven’t done anything, and appeal to the referee with an innocent look. Although appeals are mostly useless, what if the referee changes the penalty?
There must be hope in life!
To take a step back, even if the referee insists on penalties, as long as you behave innocent enough, the referee will self-doubt if he fails later, and he will subconsciously think that he made a mistake.
This is the sympathy point. Maybe the referee will give Manchester City a penalty when he turns around.
“Otamendi didn’t meet that guy at all.” Kompany shouted.
Atkinson pointed to his own eyes, then pointed to Otamendi, which meant that I could see clearly, and the appearance of your partner explained everything.
Referee Atkinson insisted on a penalty kick, and he also issued a yellow card to warn the emotional Fernandinho.
………………
Bruno Fernandez was Manchester United’s first penalty shooter. He stood at the penalty spot and he was about to take the penalty.
Atkinson’s whistle blew, Bruno Fernandez made a run-up, shot, and the goal was scored. But the whistle sounded, Atkinson signaled that a Manchester United player rushed into the penalty area before his whistle, and the penalty kick was to be severely penalized.
“Fuck!” Ye Su exploded anxiously from the sidelines.
Penalties have always tested the psychological quality of the penalty shooter. Especially in such a critical game and under such anxious circumstances, the pressure to re-take a penalty kick will be very high. Many players will make mistakes because of nervousness when they re-take a penalty kick.
Atkinson whistled again.
Bruno Fernandez runs up and volleys from the right center. This time Edson judged in the right direction and he pounced the football. However, Bruno Fernandez reacted faster. He rushed up to make a supplementary shot before Kompany made a clearance and put the football into the net. .
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!”
In the 53rd minute of the game, Bruno Fernandez created a penalty kick. After his penalty was saved, he scored a supplement and rewritten the score to 2:1. Manchester United once again exceeded the score.
“2:1! Edson has done well enough, but Bruno Fernandez shot his penalty kick into the net, and Manchester United took a 2:1 lead! Let’s see, Ye Su is almost excited. Jump up…”
Ye Su was indeed very excited. After seeing the football enter the net, he raised his arms and rushed to the sidelines from the coaching bench, then slammed his fist to the sky, three times in a row.
It is of great significance to take the lead again in this important game.
Especially today, Manchester City played so conservatively. In this case, going beyond the score is the most effective and direct way to change the rhythm and state of the game.
After Manchester United took the lead, Manchester City had to press it out. Manchester City’s goal is a draw. Losing is definitely unacceptable. Even if it is clearly known that there will be hidden dangers in the back line after being pushed out, there is no way.
Manchester United’s bench is also full of jubilation. Everyone understands how important it is to win in this matchup with their opponents.
Manchester United was celebrating with great enthusiasm, while Manchester City was a little silent.
On Manchester City’s bench, when Edson saved a penalty kick, there was a lot of excitement. However, the cheers were not fully released yet, and Bruno Fernandez scored a supplementary shot, and the bench immediately quieted down.
Guardiola murmured, he was still brooding about the penalty.
………………
Behind the score, eager to score. Then the midfielder was obviously strangling, more anxious. The impatience of the Manchester City players became the key thread that affected the game at some point.
In the 68th minute of the game, Sane dribbled the ball. Facing Fellaini’s pressure, he reluctantly chose to cross to find Sterling.
McTominay grabbed the ball suddenly and stole the ball midway. Manchester United immediately launched a counterattack.
Rashford suddenly dribbled the ball to the center, and after attracting defensive attention, he suddenly separated.
When Rashford moved to the center, Bruno Fernandez suddenly pulled the side. After receiving the ball, he dribbled the ball from the side to the center and made a long shot directly outside the penalty area-Manchester City Defender Kompany immediately crossed over to block.
Bruno Fernandez dunked the football when he saw Kompany fooled.
Kompany felt aggrieved. How could he not guess that Bruno Fernandez might be a fake move, but he must block it because he knew very well that if he didn’t come up to block it, Bruno Fernandez would really shoot from a long distance.
Seeing Bruno Fernandez smash, Kompany forced half-turned, trying to keep up to intercept, but Bruno Fernandez did not give him a chance to react.
“Pretty! Kompany let Bruno Fernandez snap it.”
………………
Just after Kompany was dropped, Delph posted it.
Bruno Fernandez pushed his bow and the football rolled over at Kompany’s feet, which was passed to Rashford.
When Bruno Fernandez attracted the attention of Kompany and Arsenal, Rashford had sneaked in.
Rashford, who is in a hot state, showed everyone what it means to be a real high-speed dribbling technique.
I saw him take the football once, start directly, and then face Fernandinho, who came in diagonally. He smashed with his left foot. Fabio Fernandinho was not fooled, Rashford He didn’t slow down, I saw him cut straight inward, and when he approached Fernandinho, he knocked the football with his right foot, and at the same time, the toe of his left foot was picked and the whole person jumped.
Just when he just jumped up, one foot shoveled over to the ground!
“Rashford! Rashford! Very beautiful!”
“Rashford seems to be skating at high speed! He also had fun!”
…
The most amazing thing is ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Rashford’s entire action is very coherent, almost in one go. This shows that this is an instant manifestation of the player’s technique and reaction, even a muscular reaction, because you have no Time to really think in such a short amount of time, and then draw conclusions and judgements before reacting.
Moreover, Rashford’s speed has not been significantly reduced during the entire passing process.
After passing Fernandinho, Rashford cut directly into the penalty area with the ball. Facing the attacking Manchester City goalkeeper Edson, Rashford pretended to take a shot. He tricked Edson into making a save and also tricked Otamendi into coming over and sliding to block the shot. Rashford pushed with his left foot. , Mbappe, who was inserted in the back point, faced most of the empty goal and shot directly. The football hit the lower edge of the crossbar severely and then fell down, almost past the goal line.
Rashford was terrified. He saw that the football had gone into the net, so he rushed up and hugged Mbappé, and said loudly, “Killian! I thought you were playing an empty plane!”
Mbappe was also very scared. He was hugged by Rashford and felt the warmth of his embrace. He was very calm and comfortable. In addition to being shocked just now, he saw the football enter the net.
