Chapter 375 Blind Shooting
"Get this guy away quickly."
"How much did this bastard charge his opponent?"
"Intolerable."
It is conceivable how much pressure Sylvester will be under on the court. He uses such a deceptive method to put Manchester United into the most dangerous situation. There are nearly 85 minutes left in this game, and Manchester United will win a hard battle!
His teammates all looked at him with disbelief...
Dong Fangzhuo and Smith hugged each other: "Man, you did a great job, there was no problem."
Although his personal relationship with Smith is very ordinary, and he even beat up Smith, on the court, they are comrades-in-arms, and there will be no personal grudges at this time.
There is nothing wrong with Smith's calmness and bravery just now. If it were Dong Fangzhuo, he would choose to do the same because there is no choice at all! If Smith hadn't done this, Manchester United would have fallen behind 0:1 just now.
Smith walked off the court, and Ferguson came over and patted him on the shoulder. Finally, Smith walked into the tunnel very depressed.
Such a sacrifice is too heroic and too tragic.
Manchester United had to accept the result of 10 versus 11, with one less player in the midfield. How could Manchester United play this formation? Isn't the middle empty to nothing?
Ferguson definitely couldn't play like this. He quickly made adjustments. He gritted his teeth and simply replaced Sylvester with Park Ji-sung.
If this guy is left on the field, Manchester United will have nothing.
He worked hard and changed to 351, with Giggs recycling and Ronaldo recycling, using three defenders. Park Ji-sung's appearance will definitely strengthen the defense in the middle. With Park's ability to run and fight, he can be used as a half-player in the middle. In addition, after Ronaldo recovered the right midfielder, Fletcher also moved to the middle.
Scholes is equivalent to playing a forward position.
Even if one person is missing, Ferguson has no intention of asking for a draw. A draw will have no effect on Manchester United. It depends on what Moyes' team will do...
Of course, Moyes saw the hope of winning. Now Everton has one more person on the court. If Moyes is still conservative, he will be drowned in the spit of Everton fans.
So Everton stepped up their attack next.
But Manchester United does not have the disadvantage of missing one player for the time being, and they still dare to attack with the ball. Manchester United puts the pressure of one less player on the defensive line, so naturally it will not be at a disadvantage in the offense.
In the 7th minute, Scholes passed the ball to the left and Giggs passed in. Dong Fangzhuo missed the shooting opportunity at the front point under the double team of the two. Will poked the ball out and Park Ji-sung rushed up and hit the ball 10 yards from the right rib of the penalty area. The shot was saved beautifully by Wright.
"pity!"
“But Park’s spirit deserves praise!”
After missing the ball, Park Ji-sung hurriedly ran back and tried to defend at the first opportunity, but he still underestimated Everton's counterattack speed!
Former Arsenal goalkeeper Wright took a big kick and directly looked for the fastest Kilbani. Kilbani dribbled the ball from the left and was blocked by Giggs, but the ball still fell to Osman's feet. The ball was passed diagonally to the left. McFadden broke into the left side of the penalty area and shot a powerful shot with his left foot from 7 yards in front of the goal at a small angle. Van der Sar failed to save the ball from the front and the ball hit the near post and entered the net.
"well!"
"There are still fewer defenders!"
"Manchester United are in dire straits."
"Damn Sylvester!"
"Manchester United are still lagging behind."
The camera immediately focused on Sylvester on the bench. Sylvester covered his face with his hands and was completely ashamed. All this suffering was caused by him. He no longer had any face to face his teammates.
Everton's tactics became very cunning with a one-goal lead. Their formation was slightly retracted, leaving Manchester United with space to attack in the frontcourt, but within 30 meters outside the penalty area, the defense was watertight. That is to say, give Manchester United a chance to attack, but they will definitely not let Manchester United attack...
It is purely to consume the physical strength of Manchester United players and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
In the 9th minute, Phil Neville kicked down Dong Fangzhuo who was pulled to the wing to get the ball in the backcourt. Manchester United finally won a chance for a set kick. Giggs passed the free kick from the right and Vidi took the risk to rush forward. Under the cover of Dong Fangzhuo, Qi headed the ball from 12 yards in the middle and hit the goal.
This time Everton did not take the opportunity to counterattack, maybe because they felt that there was little chance of counterattack.
In the 13th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo once again broke out in his small universe. He broke through from the right and his shot from 16 yards on the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Beattie who returned to defense in time!
It's not like Manchester United didn't have a chance to score.
In the 14th minute, Scokes organized in the middle, Giggs and Ronaldo were separated on the two wings, but he did not choose to pass the ball to them. Instead, he saw Dong Fangzhuo's space, and he directly passed the ball diagonally. It was given to Dong Fangzhuo who was running, and the latter took Will alive and turned around and shot low from 13 yards before another central defender ran over!
The ball missed the post and Dong Fangzhuo almost equalized the score.
Although the score was not scored, Manchester United's momentum became stronger and stronger, and it didn't look like they were missing one player.
In the 15th minute, Manchester United made a comeback. Scholes made a long pass in the center circle. Cristiano Ronaldo and the opponent's left back fought for speed and succeeded in countering offside!
Although Everton's defense is very tight, they are still lacking in speed. They have no way to face the fast Ronaldo.
After successfully countering offside, Ronaldo rushed into the penalty area with the ball and swept the ball towards the center before Will blocked it.
It's a pity that Dong Fangzhuo missed one step! The opponent's other central defender, Yabo, pulled his hand, which prevented him from rushing to the ball immediately, and the ball flew past him.
but,
Giggs rushed up quickly from the left.
Giggs falls to the ground and slides! The ball flew into the near corner.
"Ryan!"
"goal!"
"goooooooooal!"
"Ryan is like an 18-year-old boy. When Scokes moved the ball to the right, Ryan ran wildly on the left. His running speed was not inferior to Dong and Ronaldo! I used to He was also criticized, but this time he was great!”
"Manchester United equalized the score!"
"Moyes' dream did not come true. Although their team had more and less, Manchester United still equalized the score!"
Manchester United's morale has become strong again, and they don't care about playing one less player.
After equalizing the score, they pressed Everton to play.
Park Ji-sung is quite active in bed. He and Fletcher guard the center very well and can pass the ball to the front court.
In the 17th minute, Park Ji-sung distributed the ball to the left, Giggs quickly passed the ball, and Will made a header error.
Chance!
Dong Fangzhuo pounced on him like a leopard, but Valente behind him couldn't reach him. He opened his teeth and claws, pulling and pulling.
However, Dong Fangzhuo still forced a shot from 8 yards to the left rib of the penalty area, and was eventually brought down by Valente. The ball was eventually saved by Wright.
Manchester United's players immediately rushed to the referee to protest, thinking that Valente had committed a foul, but the referee did not make a penalty.
The failure to win a penalty did not make the Manchester United players feel depressed. They did not seem to be missing one person now.
In the 19th minute, Ronaldo forced Kilbani to fight for speed on the right. In the end, Ronaldo took the lead and poked the ball. When he fell to the ground, he swept the ball to the center. Scholes swept the ball directly to the left. Giggs on the road, the latter's volley from 18 yards on the left side of the penalty area hit the side net.
Although the ball still failed to score, Manchester United continued to control the situation calmly.
"Just one goal missing!"
"It's completely invisible that they lost a player on the field. It looks more like Moyes' team. However, Moyes is also a little depressed today because half of his lineup today are substitutes. Someone has to have ideas. Do."
Time quickly came to the 30th minute of the first half.
Park Ji-sung ran to the right and switched positions with Ronaldo. Ronaldo's pass was a bit fast. Park Ji-sung had to rush forward, but he couldn't stop, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to rush forward. This rush It was unexpected. Unable to stop the car, he dunked left and right, and actually dribbled the ball on the right and passed 4 people in a row...
And Park Ji-sung also dunked the ball into the penalty area, and then staggered with his left foot and missed...
A breakthrough attack that started but ended well.
There were cheers in the stands. Breaking through with the ball was not Park Ji-sung's unique skill, but he did bring joy to the fans.
It seems that Everton is a little worried about Manchester United's formation. They have been playing cautiously and the defense has been tight at the back.
The experienced Scholes and Giggs would not miss such an opportunity. In the 34th minute, Scholes made a long pass from the midfielder and directly found Dong Fangzhuo in front of the penalty area. The volley from 14 yards was saved by Wright.
Giggs took a corner kick, but the ball was still cleared.
Giggs intercepted it and passed it again. This time the ball fell to the back point. Park Ji-sung's head reached out and pointed the ball towards the center with difficulty! And his whole body was knocked out of the bottom line!
Dong Fangzhuo knocked away Will and Yabo and stretched out his right leg from the gap!
Blind shooting!
The Everton goalkeeper really wants to slash him with a knife...
But he was a step too slow, and the ball bounced off Dong Fangzhuo's right calf and flew into the goal.
"Gooal!"
"goooooooooal!"
