Chapter 105 Welcome to the Old Trafford Colosseum!
After Rocky scored, Ferguson had a dull expression, chewing gum mechanically in his mouth.
If one only looked at his face, no one would know what he was thinking.
In fact, there is no need to guess what he is thinking.
Because he didn't think about anything.
At this point in the game, Lazio is sure to win.
The total score is three goals behind, and Lazio also has two away goals. How to play this game?
Although you can't give up until the end of the game, you must have basic reason, right?
With the score of this game, Manchester United still has hope?
He sat on the coach's bench and looked at the court expressionlessly.
There are traces of the failure of this game. Looking at it now, it is that he ignored the two seemingly inconspicuous Lazio players.
Candreva has always been a substitute this season, and he has played in many positions. He has played as a central midfielder, full-back and defensive midfielder. He even played as a full-back for more than 20 minutes in a league game.
There is no fixed position, and there is no fixed job. It feels like Chang Sheng uses it as a panacea. Wherever you need someone, let him go there.
It's no surprise that such a player has performed well.
This kind of player may be a good role player, but at the critical moment, it is absolutely impossible to expect him to explode and decide the outcome!
The other Rocchi is more famous, the captain of Lazio. Of course, this identity was once considered a joke. In Changsheng's first season in Lazio, Rocchi's role was obvious, but he never really became Lazio. the core of the attack.
The person who scored the most goals for Lazio in the first season was Pandev. The last two seasons were Falcao, and even Benzema scored more goals than him.
So in this fourth season, he was completely reduced to a substitute, and he didn't even start in the Champions League, so it's nothing unusual.
And Rocky's problem is that he has no speed, no breakthrough, no cross when he plays a winger, and he plays a center forward. Need to compete with Cavani and Giroud. Naturally, there is a lack of opportunities to play.
Therefore, when analyzing Lazio's starting lineup for the game against Rome before the game, Ferguson did not pay enough attention to these two people.
In fact, in that game, the performance of these two people was also very average, which was in line with Ferguson's positioning of these two people as "role players".
Perhaps Ferguson thought so, Changsheng let them play, purely to make up a starting lineup of eleven people...
It turns out that Chang Sheng actually entrusted them with important tasks!
Ferguson has a sophisticated eye, so he naturally doesn't believe that these two people are a temporary explosion. Then get his Manchester United.
If there is no special pre-match tactical arrangement and targeted training, why do these two people appear so well?
After conceding the ball, I then analyzed the two conceded goals and the trajectory of the game between the two of them, only to find that there are actually traces to follow...
Candreva appeared many times in the area where he finally shot. At first, he thought it was a coincidence, or he didn't notice it at all. He didn't expect that people had been premeditated.
Rocky was unknown before, and no one took him seriously. But when it should appear most, it appeared at the most critical place...
This is obviously a targeted arrangement.
Make full use of the characteristics of the two of them...
Ferguson turned his head to look at Chang Sheng. This young Chinese indeed has two skills... He successfully used his inertial thinking and cognitive blind spots.
Who would have thought that Candreva and Rocky, the two most unknown people, would become the key players in deciding the outcome of this game?
But Ferguson's admiration is not in tactics, but in psychological adjustment.
Especially Candreva, to make this kind of role players dare to take responsibility at critical moments, Ferguson thinks Changsheng must have something unique.
※※※
Not only did Ferguson know that Manchester United was dead in this game, but the Manchester United players on the pitch also knew they were dead.
It's just that they are not as easy to talk to as Ferguson.
The pain of defeat coupled with the hatred for Lazio made them unbalanced in the subsequent games.
Lost to Lazio in the final last season. Originally, I wanted to take revenge this time, but now I see that I can't take revenge...
But for the players. They have other ways to get revenge!
In the 81st minute, when Belletti came up for an assist, Evra fell to the ground with a shovel.
This time it was much heavier than he had shoveled Goetze before!
Because Evra kicked Belletti's ankle directly with a shovel spike!
"Holy shit! In slow motion, Belletti's ankle is almost making a full 90 degrees!"
Belletti lay on the turf in pain, clutching her ankle.
The Lazio teammate Cazorla next to him was roaring at the referee, and Cavani rushed to the shoveling Evra immediately.
Of course, no one was as excited as Chang Sheng. Chang Sheng raised his middle finger high on the court, and then shouted: "Evra! Evra! Look at my mouth shape: ****your mother!!"
Then Cavani rushed in front of Evra and overthrew the French full-back who had just got up.
Evra screamed while covering his face, and rolled on the ground.
Rooney ran up to complain for his teammates, and stretched out his hand to grab Cavani's neck.
Gotze came up to help his teammates. As a result, he was pushed to the ground by Rooney's backhand slap.
Players on both sides fell to the ground, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Players from both sides came to the place where the incident happened. Obviously, they didn't come to persuade the fight!
The pre-match victories have successfully aroused the fighting spirit of the players. The fighting spirit is reflected in football and non-football, but it is all adrenaline rush stuff.
As for Manchester United, it was also due to the desire for revenge but ultimately failed, which led to an imbalance of mentality.
So the two sides are facing each other... It's over!
Rooney overturned Gotze, and Chiellini overturned Carrick every day.
Motta gave Carrick another shot through Chiellini.
Of course, he didn't get any good himself, and let Leo Ferdinand kick his crotch.
※※※
"Oh oh oh oh! The real climax of this game finally came when there were less than ten minutes left in the game!" The neutral commentator who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic shouted excitedly.
"Evra's tackle is obviously wrong... This is a concrete manifestation of Manchester United's mentality imbalance! He should receive a red card. But Cavani's action is too aggressive..."
"Liar Evra! Cavani just pushed him in the chest, and he fell down covering his face!" the Italian commentator shouted excitedly.
The Manchester United fans in the stands also booed deafeningly, drowning out the harsh and rapid whistle of the referee.
The confrontation lasted about three minutes before it died down with the intervention of the referee, two linesmen and a fourth official.
But both sides paid a heavy price for this.
Evra who fouled must be a red card. Cavani, who first caused the conflict, was also a red card.
In addition, Rooney, the "boxing champion" who pinched Cavani's neck and fucked Gotze, was also sent off with a red card.
Gotze, Chiellini, Thiago Motta, Rio Ferdinand and Carrick all received a yellow card.
Of course, Chang Sheng was also expelled from the stadium by a red card.
Because he gave the middle finger to the opposing player.
Although the referee didn't see it at the time, the fourth official then notified the referee, so after the players were settled, the referee ran over and issued a ruby God of War card to Chang Sheng.
certainly. In fact, Chang Sheng can also argue that he was just making a tactical gesture.
When Chang Sheng is not such a useless person, a hero does things like a hero, Chang Sheng never shirks his responsibilities, he does what he does.
And if the gesture he just made was a tactical gesture, people have to believe it...
He showed his middle fingers with both hands just now, which is a standard insulting gesture.
When seeing the referee keep issuing red and yellow cards, the commentator and his friends were stunned.
"This is really... so exciting!"
※※※
This focus battle, the main event, finally ended in such a heavyweight gang fight.
The next ten minutes of the game were so insipid compared to this gang fight, it made people want to doze off...
Only gang fights can make their adrenaline rush!
After the game restarts until the end. Everyone has been talking about the brawl.
The slow motion of the TV broadcast is also constantly replaying this section of the game. From different angles and camera positions, this sudden group fight is displayed in a panoramic manner.
Some commentators shook their heads: "It's a pity that it's not the Roman Derby, otherwise I could say 'Welcome to the Colosseum'! Of course I can only say now: 'Welcome to the Old Trafford Colosseum!'"
There are also people who pay attention to Chang Sheng's middle finger, thanks to the well-developed TV media, if there are not so many camera seats, maybe this classic movement of Chang Sheng has been missed...
In the picture, Chang Sheng raised his middle fingers with both hands, gesticulating towards the court and shouting.
"What is he yelling?"
Some of the narrators can read some lip shapes. But I only know that Chang Sheng was calling Evra's name at the beginning, and I don't know what Chang Sheng called after...
The place is too noisy. It was all booed by Manchester United fans, and it was unclear what Chang Sheng was shouting.
But I believe that after the game, the reporters will be very interested in this.
At the press conference after the game, everything about this conflict will be the focus...
※※※
Manchester United were incapable of scoring because they had two sent off at the last minute. Let alone win games.
So in the end, they lost 0:2 to Lazio at home and were eliminated with a total score of 5:2.
Of course, it doesn't matter anymore...
United fans booed, booed, booed.
The game can be said to end in boos.
Ferguson left quickly after the game with a gloomy face. He didn't even try to comfort the players he lost...
It can be seen that from the process to the result of this game, he was very upset.
As for Chang Sheng, he also came down from the stands and quickly walked into the player tunnel. The TV broadcast gave him a close-up shot, and from his face, he couldn't see the joy of advancing to the semi-finals at all.
In this game, although Lazio won Manchester United, it can be regarded as a miserable victory.
There are too many words, Chang Sheng wants to say, too much anger, he wants to vent.
These will also be at the press conference after the game... (to be continued...)
