Ice Shooter of the Green Field - Vol 4 Chapter 146
Shortly after this goal, Ferguson made the last substitution adjustment, Kagawa Shinji came on and replaced Cleverly.
The old man looks like he is going to fight!
Kagawa Shinji rushed to play, Ferguson arranged for him to be a central midfielder, he needed to devote his energy to help defense, when this kid came on the field, he also ran to Qi Ce to give him a wink, and Qi Ce smiled: ” Have a drink after the game?”
Kagawa Shinji also smiled, but did not answer directly.
After Kagawa Shinji played, there was only one serious defender left in Manchester United’s midfield, namely Carrick, Kagawa Shinji, Ashley Young, Valencia and Welbeck. After the ball is reached, it is basically a long pass, to the forwards on both sides or in the penalty area.
Hiddink also made the last substitution adjustment shortly after. The draw was completely acceptable for Chelsea. Hiddink decided to strengthen the defense. He replaced Oscar and Mikel came off the bench.
Mikel’s main job is to help the central defenders look at the space they left. If there is a mistake like David Luiz did before, he can go to the defense as soon as possible. Chelsea did not have a serious midfielder before, and this gave Weir. Baker faced David Luiz’s chances head-on.
It should be said that this is also Ferguson’s tricks. Throughout the whole game, Ferguson’s Manchester United generally controlled the rhythm of the game. Chelsea’s goal was a direct long pass and counterattack, and the other was a free kick, neither of which was Hiddink. Arranged before the game, Hiddink’s original plan was to use the slow to control the fast and use the ball to consume the opponent.
And Ferguson is different. He is constantly changing in the game, always looking for the weaknesses in Hiddink’s tactics, and then he sees tricks and moves. There is no midfielder in the starting lineup. The long pass directly threatened the defense, and Ferguson arranged for Rooney to press, and immediately in the second half, Welbeck, who was more capable of defense, went to limit the opponent, all of which were successful.
The only thing that didn’t satisfy Ferguson was that Chelsea had scored goals before the adjustment. For the coaches, they were looking at the trend, and they were ready to adjust when they found something wrong, but Ferguson had no choice but to meet Zize.
If the signs are wrong, it means that the ball is lost!
But it has to continue to adjust, otherwise this guy will definitely make more progress!
Ferguson made the final adjustment just now. When he replaced Kagawa Shinji, he told Kagawa that Chelsea would definitely have a midfielder to increase protection in front of the central defender, and Kagawa Shinji appeared to add a central midfielder. It was still the front midfielder.
He wants to add offensive manpower in Chelsea’s midfield and backfield at the same time as Welbeck. Manchester United’s formation is actually a double attacking midfielder. Welbeck focuses on confrontation and pressing, and Kagawa Shinji echoes Van Persie through his passing and interspersed movements.
This is Ferguson’s last fight!
Because Ferguson said he wanted to retire, it was not just psychological warfare, it was true.
This is a decision that has been considered for more than a year. This season is likely to be Alex Ferguson’s last season. He is already over 70 years old. He has been bearish a lot. After last season, Manchester City overtook in stoppage time. After winning the championship, Ferguson wanted to leave with a decent Premier League title, but this season’s Chelsea made Ferguson feel that it was difficult for Manchester United to regain the championship in these two seasons, and his body was indeed not as good as before.
One cannot resist getting old!
So in this game, Ferguson also made bold adjustments to carry the offense to the end!
But the risk is very high. Ferguson is very clear in his heart. There are only Carrick, Jones and Ferdinand in the middle and back. Chelsea have arranged for Xuerle and Zize to counterattack in the front and face Zice. To be honest, the three are not necessarily the same. Enough to prevent, not to mention there is another Xuerle.
But Ferguson won again!
This time it was Shinji Kagawa who scored!
Ferguson’s second substitution adjustment once again became a turning point in the game. Shinji Kagawa turned the score with a gentle shot from an empty spot in the Chelsea penalty area!
“Kagawa Shinji! Who would have thought that the one who saved Manchester United at this time would be Kagawa Shinji, who has gone high and low this season! Interestingly, Kagawa Shinji is also Zize’s former teammate in Dortmund. The duel between the generals is also the peak duel in the Premier League!”
The cheers broke out at Old Trafford. Many people think that Manchester United fans are relatively reserved in the largest stadium in the top league. The atmosphere at Old Trafford is not as good as that of some other giants such as Anfield, Wiley Stefano, Bernabeu, these stadiums feel so warm.
But today, the whole world saw Old Trafford’s enthusiasm!
Ferguson stood up from his seat and was so excited that he almost swallowed all the chewing gum in his stomach. Fortunately, before standing up, Ferguson held back and spit out the chewing gum in the trash can, then stood up with his fists high, and ran all the way to The coach’s bench celebrates the goal.
Manchester United’s coaching bench, the bench is already crazy, the game seems to be over soon, it is 80 minutes now!
Chelsea will usher in their first defeat of the season!
To be precise, it was the first defeat in the league.
Hiddink looked at the field with his hands in his pockets, and at the jubilation on the coaching bench on the opposite side. Hiddink also understood in his heart that the old Scottish man with the red nose on the opposite side was indeed better than himself. Now Chelsea can have the current status. Results, Hiddink may have done less than he imagined, and Qi Ce is the real reason for all this.
Just like now, Chelsea is behind, and the game will end in ten minutes. The most threatening attack is still from Zize, and the most attractive defense is Zize. After the goal, Manchester United almost used a rogue way to defend Zize. , but they also have a sword of Damocles above their heads, that is, they dare not foul!
Manchester United have already seen Zice’s free kick. When they were defending, they were very careful and did not dare to make any big moves from Zice. At this time, Manchester United was also nervous and did not dare to make a mistake.
Even Kagawa Shinji, a former teammate, is ruthless to Qi Ce. If there is a chance to fight, Kagawa Shinji will not be merciful. Although he has no chance at Manchester United, he still wants to follow the team to win the Premier League championship.
The opportunity for a head-to-head confrontation will soon come.
The current Manchester United basically retreated from the defense. Qi Ze, who couldn’t get the ball in front, retreated. Instead, he stole the ball from Welbeck’s feet. As soon as he turned around, he ran into Kagawa Shinji.
Kagawa still has some experience with his teammates who have played with him for three years. He stood in front of Qi Ce. In his impression, Qi Ce is not good at breaking through directly. Similar to Ashley Yang, he can only rely on speed to make a breakthrough. As long as you are stuck in a position, you will generally not go head-to-head and go it alone, and will pass the ball.
Kagawa Shinji felt that as long as he stood still and did not let Qi Ce pass directly, the defense would be successful, but he did not expect Qi Ce to pass the ball!
Break with the ball!
Kagawa Shinji didn’t even react, and was killed by Qi Ce with a change of direction. When did this guy’s dribbling become so good?
The breakthrough just now really made Shinji Kagawa dazzled. He always felt that Qi Ce would lose it in the next second, but the football was not taken too far by Qi Ce, and he passed Kagawa Shinji in an instant.
Then there’s Carrick.
Carrick didn’t immediately realize that Shinji Kagawa had been broken through. There was a gap between him and Ferdinand, and Qi Ze was aiming there.
But Qi Ce didn’t plan to break through. If the opponent touches the ball, Qi Ce will be interrupted, but Qi Ce sprints here just to fake a shot, waiting for one of them to come up!
Carrick and Ferdinand are both veterans over 30 years old, but at this moment, they were also deceived by the young man Zice. The moment Carrick stepped forward to steal the ball, Qi Ce suddenly changed direction!
Manchester United’s defense line was in chaos. Rafael on the wing, Ferdinand and Carrick in the middle, Shinji Kagawa who retreated, and another center-back Jones who was in charge of defending Zize were all huddled together in an instant. This may be a manifestation of excessive fighting spirit!
Everyone wanted to work hard, but made a mistake. Zice attracted the defense of six players, but he still didn’t lose the ball, and then provoked the ball. The football crossed the messy Manchester United defense line and fell to the back!
Xuerle, who was plugged in at high speed, threw himself out and pushed the ball into the goal with his head!
Ferguson looked at the field, watched a group of Manchester United players run with Zize and then let Zize attract almost all the firepower and then sent an assist. Chelsea equalized the score, and his heart was full of helplessness.
Whether it’s a big gamble, an on-the-spot tactical adjustment, pre-match preparations, psychological warfare, inspiring players and fans, it seems that the whole world is on their side, but in the end, they still failed to get the desired results.
Did everything and still didn’t get what I wanted, really… football, **** it!
