Chapter 21 Giggs’ feedback! Assisting Rooney and scoring?
Whether Kompany suffered a misjudgment has nothing to do with this game.
Manchester City had one less player, and they still had a very important central defender. Mancini had to let the versatile Milner drop back.
But Manchester City, with one less player, did not show a disadvantage in the offensive and defensive battles. They were still able to play back and forth with Manchester United.
Two minutes later, they even forced Manchester United center back Phil Jones to make a desperate save, causing Jones to leave the field briefly injured.
The game became more and more intense after that, with both sides' attacking rhythm getting faster and faster, and their movements getting bigger and bigger.
Both teams had several shots, but Manchester City had more.
In the 30th minute of the game, Nani cut in front of the penalty area on the left side of Manchester City, knocked down Manchester City midfielder Johnson and passed to Evra from the left.
Evra passed the ball back from the bottom line. The ball bounced on the feet of two Manchester City players and was grabbed by Welbeck. Welbeck kept turning around and pulled back.
"Bang!"
The football hit the lower left corner of the goal with great force, and Manchester City goalkeeper Pantilimon fought hard to save it.
His fingertips should have touched the football, but it did not prevent it from entering the goal.
0:2
Manchester City are two goals behind!
"boom!"
Manchester United fans began to celebrate, and Wang Shen, who was warming up, saw Welbeck's unsuccessful slide to his knees in celebration.
But his eyes quickly shifted to the face of Manchester City goalkeeper Pantilimon, and then to Mancini.
Both of them looked a little dull and looked very similar.
In the following games, Manchester City attacked very fiercely, which can be seen from the fact that Manchester United received two yellow cards in succession.
But the ferocious attack did not bring goals to Manchester City.
On the contrary, when their physical fitness faded, it was Manchester United's turn to launch a fierce offensive.
In the 40th minute of the game, two Manchester City defenders collided and fouled Welbeck who entered the penalty area. The referee's whistle sounded again - a penalty kick.
Rooney came to the penalty spot and hit the ball directly into the lower left corner of the goal. Pantilimon judged the right direction and saved the ball.
But the football flew through a parabola in the air and landed right in front of the forward Rooney. Rooney nodded directly with his head——
0:3
Manchester City spent!
"boom!!!"
The Manchester United fans roared loudly, as if they saw the possibility of revenge.
Wang Shen looked at Pantilimon again.
He was too far away to see the goalkeeper's expression clearly, but just judging from his body movements, Wang Shen felt that he was even more confused.
In the following game, Manchester United was full of momentum!
Attack, attack, attack, the Red Devils players attacked tirelessly, until Manchester City got the ball and kept kicking in the backcourt.
They tried to slow down the tempo of the game in order to drain Manchester United's growing momentum, but the effect was average.
During this period, Welbeck even completed a shovel shot that was just a hair away, which made the hearts of Manchester City fans rise to their throats.
Two minutes into injury time, when the sign was raised by the fourth official, everyone in Manchester City heaved a sigh of relief.
When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, Mancini was the first to stand up and walk into the tunnel.
Wang Shen followed Perrin into the dressing room, while Sir Alex Ferguson had been waiting here early.
First came the compliments, then the predictions for the second half, and finally the substitutions.
Yes, Sir Alex chose to make a midfield substitution.
Carrick is off and Wang Shen is on. This is a surprising substitution.
If you want to strengthen defense, then replacing Giggs is the best choice, and if you want to strengthen offense...
It seems that there is no way to strengthen the attack.
Unless Carrick is replaced by Ginger Head instead of Wang Shen, then the backcourt will be easily disrupted.
All in all, this looks more like a matchup substitution and has no special significance.
If there is, it can only be that Sir Alex Ferguson is training Wang Shen. He wants the youngster to experience the local derby.
"Carrick made no mistake."
Returning to the stadium, Perrin glanced at the somewhat depressed Carrick and whispered to Sir Alex Ferguson.
"I want to explore the King's background. He swept the backcourt very well in training games. I want to see what he can do in the game." Sir Alex Ferguson gave his reason.
"He has done it in previous games, but he is still too young..."
"Those games weren't enough, Perrin, I think you know what I mean." Sir Alex Ferguson interrupted.
Perrin was silent for a moment, then nodded helplessly in approval.
Neither Blackburn nor Newcastle United can be called top teams.
Manchester City is different. The strength they have shown this season is to some extent more terrifying than Manchester United.
“The second half of the game started, and both sides made adjustments.
"Manchester United youngster Shen Wang replaced Carrick in the defensive midfielder position. This is a surprising substitution.
"Manchester City replaced Johnson and David Silva, whose performance was average in the first half, and replaced them with Savage and Zabaleta."
As soon as Martin Taylor finished talking about the personnel changes on the court, Manchester City right back Richards was already dribbling the ball towards the penalty area.
Wang Shen, who was standing in front of him, was about to shovel, but was overtaken by his captain.
But the tackle made by the Manchester United captain was not clean, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately.
"Evra was shown a yellow card by the referee. Kolarov and Nasri, who had just come on the field, were standing in front of the football. Which of them would..."
"Kolarov took a run-up, shot with his left foot, and the football flew around the wall and into the goal...
“GOALLLLL~~~
“GOALLLLLLLLLL~~~
"Kolarov, who just came on the field, made a great achievement. He scored with a shot without any fireworks. Lindegaard failed to defend Kolarov's direct free kick."
Martin Taylor's passionate voice sounded, but his voice could not suppress the celebrations of Manchester City fans. Their voices were still heard from the TV sets into thousands of homes.
There is no way, Manchester City played too hard in this game. The players need to vent, and the fans need to vent even more.
Wang Shen, who had just come on stage, felt a little aggrieved.
If this ball was tackled by him, it would definitely not be a foul.
But he had just come on the field and had not tackled the ball yet, so he had not yet triggered [I am a young father], so he just pursed his lips in depression.
"This ball is not your fault."
Giggs patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
"It's not the captain's fault, but I should have attacked more decisively." Wang Shen shook his head and said.
Seeing that he was still depressed, Giggs thought for a moment and said, "I'll pass the ball to you later?"
"real?"
Wang Shen's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't expect Giggs to give up the ball so proactively.
"We still have an advantage, don't be nervous, Manchester City is not that strong."
Giggs' words caused De Rong, who was not far away, to glare at him, but neither Wang Shen nor him cared.
"Okay, let me try it on both feet."
After Wang Shen finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and said, "Can I go to the right front court and try?"
He was afraid that he would not be able to use his skills when passing the ball, so he wanted to use more reliable crosses instead of long passes.
Giggs was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he called Valencia who was not far away and explained.
Faced with Giggs' explanation, Valencia glanced at Wang Shen twice and nodded in recognition.
In the next game, Wang Shen did not rush forward immediately, but stayed in the backcourt to defend.
But five minutes later, after Giggs, who had been playing in the frontcourt for half a day, expressed fatigue, he had more opportunities to move forward.
But even so, he did not leave his position rashly, but patiently looked for opportunities.
It wasn't until another five minutes passed that during a positional battle, Wang Shen sneaked up.
To be continued...
