Chapter 38 A Moment Worth Celebrating
While looking forward to scoring a goal with thousands of wins, Manchester City players are also working hard on the court, and they also hope to score another goal as soon as possible.▲∴,
Now that they have suppressed the situation, they naturally want to open the score gap as soon as possible, so that their hope of winning will be greater. After all, any professional player will know very well that having a situation advantage is useless, and ultimately, it depends on the score to decide the outcome. The advantage of a goal is too unstable.
Manchester United completed a wave of advancement on the court. After the attack in front of the penalty area was fruitless, they decisively retreated to defend. Manchester City did not rush to counterattack. They had to stabilize the formation first. The football fell between several defenders, and finally came to goalkeeper James. James took two steps and then kicked to central defender Sun Jihai. Then Zunji transferred the ball to the wing, and Manchester City began an offensive method of layer-by-layer advancement.
This is completely different from being in Derbyshire.
If Manchester United's offense is in Derby County, after the attack is over, they will definitely launch a fast attack to find opportunities. However, Manchester City now adopts a full-off and defense tactic that focuses on controlling the rhythm. The center of the tactic is to control the rhythm and not attack rashly. The rhythm may be chaotic. What they need to do is to firmly control the rhythm and let the "melody" of the game follow their own side, so that the situation can be suppressed and it is easier to find good opportunities.
This time, the same goes for the same.
After several passes and transfers, the football crossed the center line. Then Manchester City did not rush to attack, but made several cross-transfers at the front of the center line to find loopholes in Manchester United's defense while grasping the rhythm.
This is how Manchester City attacks.
When you don't attack, the rhythm seems to be very relaxed, and you just waste it slowly, without any intention of suppressing it. But once the attack suddenly speeds up, the opponent will be very uncomfortable, and you will take advantage of the opportunity to find a good opportunity, which is also part of the core of the tactics.
Manchester City has launched many similar attacks. Manchester United players have also gained experience in dealing with it, but it is still difficult for them to grab the ball because Manchester City is not too far ahead and the perimeter range is too large. Their frontcourt players come up and feel like they are being fooled by a "monkey slip". Although Manchester City players did not do this on purpose, the feelings of Manchester United players have not changed at all.
They feel bad, but they must focus on Manchester City's offensive.
We are even more cautious on Manchester United's right. The previous goal was initiated on the right. Manchester City also launched several right attacks just now. Many of them posed threats, so Manchester United players knew that the right was Manchester City's main attack direction. -
Ronaldo stood on the right and watched Manchester City's transfer.
He is very cautious.
He was deceived by Joey Patton before and threw it away, so Manchester United lost a goal. Ronaldo was still very angry, but this emotion did not affect his game state. He is still a player who can control his emotions. -
Ronaldo originally thought that after he was serious, the opponent's offense would be more restrained. Even if he did not restrain himself, the right defense would be as stable. After all, he knew the opponent's plan and kept trying to defend. However, he overestimated his defensive ability.
This time it wasn't Joey Patton, it was Musampa.
Musampa is a 29-year-old Congolese player. African players are generally strong, and so is Musampa. His technical ability and speed are average, but his explosiveness, speed, physical strength, etc. are outstanding. He is also a player with extremely rich experience. After Ajax debuted as a professional player, he has participated in Ligue 1, La Liga and now the Premier League.
The experience of many leagues is valuable, and Musampa can calmly deal with many games and opponents.
Now he is facing - Ronaldo.
When it comes to technical strength, Wan Sheng can have an accurate concept. Musampa's overall strength evaluation is at least lower than Ronaldo's 5 points, but overall strength does not represent everything, because the football training master system cannot give the concept of "experience". Now Musampa uses his rich experience to "bully" Ronaldo.
When he saw Musampa rushing towards him, Ronaldo felt a little angry. He went straight to meet him, and was very cautious at the same time, but Musampa was also very careful while dribbling the ball. He protected the ball tightly and did not give Ronaldo any chance. Just as the two approached, Musampa suddenly accelerated and started, and then almost equaled a direct collision, squeezing with Ronaldo. The direction of the two was a little opposite. Ronaldo was almost fell to the ground by such a collision, and then Musampa calmly took the ball away.
During the whole process, I only saw Ronaldo falling down, but the referee did not blew the whistle and signaled a foul.
Manchester United fans in the audience at Old Trafford Stadium made some dissatisfaction voices, thinking that the ball was an offensive foul, especially now Ronaldo is still lying on the ground, but the referee ignored it. This is a matter of the penalty scale.
It was indeed a collision just now, but Musampa was the side dribbling the ball, and the two of them collided together could be said to be a reasonable collision. As for whom hit first, it was impossible to see clearly at that moment, so the referee chose to let the game continue.
This is Musampa's experience.
He had just known the referee's penalty standard, and then he could do some moves without being punished for a foul. As a result, this time he easily passed by - Ronaldo. -
Ronaldo is left behind and will definitely not be able to catch up.
He originally wanted to lie down on the ground to gain sympathy, but the referee ignored him at all. After a while, he stood up by himself, but at this time he had no chance to defend.
Manchester United caught off guard for a moment.
One is that Musampa suddenly broke out, and they were not prepared for this. The other is that the referee did not make a penalty just now, and there were even Manchester United players expressing dissatisfaction with the referee, but Manchester City's offensive had already been pushed up, and Musampa easily passed the ball to the middle.
At this time, Manchester United realized the danger.
Without Manchester United players, they hurried back to the position to participate in the defense, but a temporary chaos had already formed, and the commentator also realized the danger and shouted directly, "Manchester United is in danger this time!"
Many commentators were very surprised by the competition situation.
They have just accepted the concept of "Manchester City and Manchester United are playing equally", but now that Manchester City's offense is playing again, Manchester United's formation is a bit dispersed, which is definitely an excellent opportunity. At the same time, they are also surprised by Manchester City's offensive speed. Just now, Manchester City seemed to be passing the ball to each other slowly, but in a blink of an eye, the football has reached the front of the penalty area.
The fallen-Ronaldo was ignored.
"Marcelona's offensive is coming! Their speed is too fast, and they caught Manchester United off guard!"
At this time the football had reached Morris' feet.
Morris is the core of the middle lane. He is very calm when he should be calm, but now is a good opportunity. He inserts in a very timely manner and is very forward, and he also uses the lead to clearly tell the Manchester United defender about his threat - after receiving the pass, he directly dribbled the ball and broke through the penalty area line!
Ferdinand hurried forward to defend. But Morris inserted it ingeniously. He was between Ferdinand and Sylvester. As a result, Ferdinand ran two steps but found that he could not defend at all. It was too late to wait for him to think about what to do.
Morris shot!
This is a powerful shot that has just entered the penalty area line and is only about fifteen meters away from the goal!
Ferdinand originally thought Morris would choose to pass the ball, but he didn't expect the opponent to shoot like this. This sudden disrupted his defense. He had the opportunity to rush over and block it with his body, but he didn't even have time to do it.
Van der Sar, who represented Manchester United in the official match for the first time, has experienced a severe test again!
As a former Fulham main goalkeeper, Van dersar is still very experienced. He is 35 years old, but as a goalkeeper, he is still able to play the main players in many teams at this age, so this is not a problem. However, Morris' shooting position is too close, and the strength of the ball is also hit. Van dersar only feels powerless, and the only thing he can do is to pounce symbolically on one side, and the football flies into the goal from his arm.
"Morris! Morris! Lee Morris!" Sky TV commentator George Woodgate shouted.
He used to like comment on Derby County's games. Because he liked the style of fast attack, but now he has to transform himself and support Manchester City, because Derby County can almost be described as "divided up" in the summer. As the head coach, Wan Sheng came to Manchester City, and Manchester City also showed pleasing football in the game.
So George Woodgate also began to support Manchester City in his heart, after all, Manchester City's football looks better than Manchester United.
Manchester City has scored another goal now!
"2:0!2:0! The goal was midfielder Lee Morris, who followed his mentor to Manchester City, who was not famous in the second division, but his fame rose sharply after participating in the Premier League with Derby County last season. There were also many voices in the media to support him in the national team. Volkswagen believes that Morris will form the most powerful midfielder for England with Gerard or Lampard, but head coach Erikson did not make any statement about this..."
"But it is undeniable that Morris' ability. He scored in the Manchester derby just after he arrived in Manchester!"
“This is very amazing!”
"This goal also helped Manchester City lead Manchester United 2-0 away. This Manchester derby looks like a one-man show to become Manchester City. Manchester United did not show anything in the first half. All they can see is Manchester City, Manchester City..."
George Woodgate said.
While complimenting Manchester City and Morris, he did not forget to complain to Manchester United.
In fact, for ordinary fans who are not from both teams, they just want the game to look good. Now Manchester City has shown its strength, which is very good, but Manchester United has not shown anything, so the game is like becoming a standalone Taiwanese drama for Manchester City.
This is amazing, you know this is a Manchester derby!
Of course, Manchester City people definitely don't care about these things. They hope that Manchester United will sleepwalking the whole game, so the victory will definitely belong to them. Just like now the Manchester City coaching seat is in chaos, everyone is cheering for the goal and venting their emotions in their hearts.
Wan Sheng was one of them. He couldn't help but feel excited anymore and shouted.
Chapter completed!
