Chapter 127 Second Half

Seeing the number ‘2:0’ displayed on the scoreboard, and then looking at Manchester City’s crazy celebration of the goal, many people remembered the grudge between Wan Sheng and Manchester United.

Wan Sheng initially worked at Manchester United, although it only lasted for a week, but it was enough to make him a 'half' Manchester United man.

This is the beginning of Wansheng becoming a football coach.

It is always unforgettable to remember the teams that started their coaching career. Some coaches will be labeled as the first coaching team or successfully coaching the team. Those coaches who have not succeeded in their team but have succeeded in other teams will also be recognized by the fans of their team. For example, some fans will always remember the history of some well-known coaches coaching the team, although the same is true when this well-known coach did not achieve any results when coaching this team.

Now Wan Sheng is a success. The Derby County he led has won the league championship, the League Cup and the FA Cup's "Mini Triple Crown". In addition, he has become much more famous than some coaches.

So, if one day, Wan Sheng returns to Manchester United to coach, he will definitely be considered by the media and fans as "returning to Manchester United" rather than "coming to Manchester United".

This is a tradition in football, and people think that Wansheng and Manchester United have a difficult relationship.

Of course, it is certain that Wan Sheng has a bad impression of Manchester United, because his departure was forced, not because his coaching performance was too poor, but instead he learned about his immediate boss.

This is still a topic that many people laugh at Manchester United at the moment.

That is, McGuinness has worked at Manchester United for too long, and such a small thing is not enough to make him leave so that he can stay at Manchester United forever, otherwise he would have been fired long ago.

The feud between Wan Sheng and Manchester United also began.

Looking back, Wansheng’s road to success now seems to be "stepping on" Manchester United.

Since 2004, Derby County won the FA Cup, the young man has appeared in the public's vision. Before that, Derby County was already the second-tier champion in England.

After being promoted to the Premier League, Derby County eliminated Manchester United in the FA Cup again, and played against Manchester United twice in the league, and also achieved an advantageous record of one win and one draw.

By last summer, he came to Manchester City and completely opposed Manchester United.

The double defeat of Manchester United in the league is enough to shock many people, because the gap between Manchester City and Manchester United is very obvious, in people's eyes. The gap cannot be made up by a skilled coach, but Wansheng has completely changed Manchester City, and they have become favorable contenders for the championship from a Premier League powerhouse.

This League Cup final was a victory that Manchester United had to strive for. As a result, Manchester City led by Wan Sheng still scored two goals in the first half.

This situation is really surprising!

What team is Manchester United? They are the overlord of the Premier League, the symbol of English football, and the pillar. Manchester United is one of the best clubs in the world. When people talk about English football, the first thing they think of is Manchester United.

But Manchester United has been suppressed by their arch rivals this season, and it is still the case in the League Cup final.

Some pessimistic Manchester United fans even think that Manchester United will sink into this? They will be suppressed by Manchester City and then suppressed again. Then, I don’t know when, you can think of Manchester’s team becoming Manchester City, and the two teams have completely reversed their positions.

Who would have thought of the current situation?

A small coach who fired at that time could force them to such an extent? Yes, who would have thought?

The camera on the court couldn't help but point at the two head coaches, Ferguson and Wansheng.

Ferguson's face was serious and mixed with a hint of worry, while Wan Sheng was smiling. The comparison of the two expressions on the screen could illustrate the situation on the field, but also seemed to illustrate the entanglement between Manchester United and Wan Sheng.

The first half ended soon.

In the last time, Manchester United seized the attack, but still failed to score.

They did not lose their fighting spirit, and every player was working hard to play, but what we can see is that their offense was a bit messy, which also shows the mentality of Manchester United players.

In the end, they didn't know how to play the game.

Fortunately, there was not much time in the first half and Manchester City did not get a chance. The game led by Manchester City two goals into the midfield.

When the first half ended, Manchester United players breathed a sigh of relief, for them, the last period was too difficult and they didn't know how to play.

What they need most at this time is to calm down, and of course, they are also indispensable to receiving guidance from the coach.

The media and fans are not calm anymore. They never thought that this would be the score in the past half.

2:0? It's normal.

Manchester City leads? What are you sure it is Manchester City?

TV stations, radios, radios, and streets are full of discussions on the game, and many people are incredible that Manchester City leads Manchester United two goals.

Although Manchester City beat Manchester United twice in the league this season, the league victory does not actually represent anything. This just means that they are lucky or perform better, but it does not mean that they are stronger than Manchester United.

Now it is the League Cup final, and a game that determines the outcome, more people still prefer Manchester United because they are famous, have strong strength, have rich experience, etc. But why is Manchester City the leader?

Many people don't understand this.

In the Manchester City locker room, Wan Sheng looked at everyone seriously and led two goals in the first half, but he did not look too excited because at this moment, he knew that he had to stay calm.

As the head coach, he needs to do this.

The celebration moment is always just after the goal is scored, and the game is not over yet, so he should not express his excitement. Doing so will affect the entire team and will make players think that the team will definitely be the winner, and then they are likely to make careless mistakes.

Wansheng doesn't want that kind of thing to happen, so he must remain calm and serious.

He needs to remind everyone not to be proud!

Even if the team leads two goals, the format is very beneficial to them, but if they are proud, they are likely to be reversed. Even if Manchester United scored two goals, they are still Manchester United. In comparison, Manchester United is no worse than Manchester City now, and their lineup and players' personal abilities are much stronger.

So at this time, Wan Sheng had to pour cold water on the whole team so that they could calm down.

"Guys! You did a good job in the first half, we led by two goals. But now it's not time to be complacent, and the game has just begun. In 45 minutes, anything can happen!"

"Until now you should still remember Istanbul last year. Liverpool reversed AC Milan with 3 goals. It was a football miracle, but it was also a reminder to us that AC Milan will be reversed after three goals, not to mention that we only lead two goals!?"

"So I said. Now we are far from time to celebrate."

"Don't underestimate any opponent, especially now we must admit that they are very strong. We defeated them twice in the league, but that doesn't mean anything. You can feel their abilities in the game, and that is a stronger opponent than us."

"Of course, we also have advantages, our tactics are better, and our cooperation is more tacit. There is also a little luck, but most importantly, we are not 100% winning, so we have to keep working hard!"

Wansheng said to everyone seriously.

"I hope to see you perform the same way in the second half. They will definitely make some tactical adjustments, maybe they will play more radically, or strengthen their cooperation to find opportunities, or change to another style of play, but no matter how they do it, we must stick to our own style of play."

"Control and patience, I have emphasized many times. But I must say once that we must strengthen control, not rush to attack, and keep the ball in our hands. In this way, our goal will always be safe."

"Of course, it can also make Wang Xiaolei more relaxed."

Wansheng's final addition made many people laugh and made the atmosphere in the locker room much easier.

Wang Xiaolei has been training with the first team. He has not played many times as the second goalkeeper, but in the UK for two years, he has been able to communicate with his teammates normally. After a season together, he has a good popularity in the team, and many people like this a little shy young man.

But one thing that must be confirmed is that as a starting goalkeeper, he is still a bit worrying, and experience and mentality are both problems. After all, he has played too few times. If he encounters a crisis, it is difficult to say what he will perform. So everyone knows that he should try to take care of Wang Xiaolei as much as possible in the game and don’t let him bear too much pressure.

So after Wan Sheng finished speaking, many people looked at Wang Xiaolei and smiled.

The second half will soon begin, and the two sides will change sides and fight again.

Neither side made any personnel adjustments.

Manchester United fell behind two goals in the first half, but in fact, they did not perform particularly poorly. The reason for conceding two goals is tactical and cooperation.

In addition, Manchester City performed surprisingly well, so they conceded the goal.

This is football.

On-site performance is often more important than strength.

Of course, Manchester City had no reason to substitute, because in the first half, the whole team performed very well.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United launched an offensive against Manchester City.

After a halftime break, their offense was obviously more organized, more organized, with fewer mistakes and more smooth cooperation. The two sides they relied on were also more threatening.

However, the most core player is still in the middle. Giggs' offensive ability may not be as good as Scholes or the former captain Roy Keane who has left, but the ability and experience of the Scottish veteran is still worthy of recognition. Under his leadership, Manchester United completely let go of the two sides. C-Ronaldo's breakthrough made Manchester City's defense frustrated. Park Ji-sung is not as good as C-Ronaldo in this regard, but he has more cooperation with his teammates, and also poses a great threat to Manchester City's defense.

Manchester United performed much better than in the first half, and this is the normal Manchester United.

At this time, the most dazzling player in the game became C-Ronaldo. The Portuguese star completely suppressed Musampa with his super personal ability. Sun Jihai made many defenses to no avail.

Musampa is not outstanding in defense, and Sun Jihai cannot compare with c-Ronaldo at all. When c-Ronaldo rushed, the two would be thrown away as soon as possible. In the first 3 minutes, c-Ronaldo even broke through the two's defense at one time, causing Manchester City's defense to fall into crisis. Fortunately, Distin stabilized the defense in the middle, which made c-Ronaldo's inward cuts in vain.

Manchester United fans have cheered again, cheering for the team with their greatest voices.

The Millennium Stadium stands once again cheered for Manchester United. More than 10,000 pure Manchester United fans, plus more than half of the local Manchester United supporters, were cheering for Manchester United.

Local fans of Cardiff actually do not really support the two teams. They just watch the exciting games, but Manchester United is more famous and has more stars, so there are more fans who support Manchester United, and people often sympathize with the weak. Now on the court, Manchester City is the weak because their strength is worse, but Manchester City has already led two goals. At this time, neutral fans will naturally choose to cheer for Manchester United, who is two goals behind, so that the game will be more exciting.

At this time, the Millennium Stadium seemed to have become Manchester United's home court.

Under this shout, Manchester United will only perform better, while Manchester City has been somewhat affected. The sound in their ears is completely noise for them, and mistakes are gradually beginning to appear.

With one increase and another deterioration, Manchester United suppressed Manchester City at the beginning of the second half.

Ferguson's face improved a lot in Manchester United's coaching bench.

Although he is still behind two goals, Manchester United has a chance if the situation continues.

On the other side, Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines and became worried about the team.

He thought that Manchester United would counterattack, but he didn't expect that they counterattack so well. The current game is undoubtedly unfavorable to the team. The team's tactic is to gain more ball control than the opponent in order to truly have an advantage.

Since the start of the second half, nearly ten minutes, the team's possession rate is not less than Manchester United, but it does not have any advantage. This means that the team is at a disadvantage in the situation, which is very unfavorable.

For a moment, Wan Sheng looked at the bench.

Joey Patton was sitting there.

This "bad boy" doesn't seem to worry about the team or care about the game. Instead, he talks and laughs with his teammates. The scene is really annoying, but this makes the atmosphere on the bench very good, at least everyone is optimistic about the game.

Not everyone is pessimistic.

Wan Sheng hesitated for a moment, and finally shouted, "Joey, go warm up!"

Hearing the shout, Joey Patton was stunned, then pointed at himself and confirmed, "Boss, are you calling me?"

Wan Sheng frowned.

"I understand, boss!" Joey Patton immediately took off his coat and ran to the side happily to do warm-up exercises.

In the 59th minute of the game, Manchester City chose to substitute - Musampa and Joey Patton on the way. (To be continued.)
