Chapter 130 Champion
After completing the goal, Darren Bent was stunned for a moment and confirmed that the football was in Manchester United goal. He immediately turned around excitedly and hugged Andy Cole, who was closest to him. Then other Manchester City players also came over to celebrate together.
"The ball has entered! 3:1, Manchester City has once again widened the score gap!"
"We can see that Wan Sheng's adjustments were quite effective. Joey Barton was very effective against C-Ronaldo. Manchester City scored afterwards! Darren Bent helped the team expand the lead to two goals! The young forward replaced the injured Anelka, but his performance was not worse than the Frenchman at all!"
"This is a very critical goal! With this goal, it has become much more difficult for Manchester United to tie the score."
"The more important person is Morris. His pass is very unexpected and accurate. O'Shea and others didn't expect Morris to pass such a ball. It can be seen that Manchester United's defense against Morris is very weak. Although Morris' performance is not as outstanding as Gerald in Liverpool or Lampard in Chelsea, his role is no worse than the previous two!"
"When we see this pass, we may think of the current England team. What we lack is the suddenness and accuracy of the organizational offense and pass. We can completely regard Morris as David Beckham in the middle of the midfield."
"The adjustments made by Wansheng before were obviously aimed at Ronaldo, which worked. Manchester United couldn't find the opportunity for a while, so they were a little confused. Then Manchester City got the opportunity. This was a very effective adjustment."
"In this game, Manchester City performed so well. From coaches to players, they showed the style of a world-class team."
"In comparison, Manchester United is a bit worse. Apart from Ronaldo, it's hard to see a second outstanding player."
""
When you hear these commentators, you may think they are pure Manchester City supporters. It is hard to imagine that they were still saying good things about Manchester United before.
These media have no real camps. Their angles are related to the "who should be in the current position". Which team performs well? They will support which team. Now Manchester City is about to win the game, so they naturally stand directly on Manchester City's side.
Their comments will mislead the fans - look, we have been supporting Manchester City, and sure enough, Manchester City won!
This is the legendary "two-faced and three-sword".
Seeing Darren Bent hit the ball into Manchester United goal, Wan Sheng jumped up from the grass. He raised his fist and swung it hard.
Now is the time to vent and celebrate!
3:1. Victory is in sight!
The tactics he formulated were successful and he won the game, and the League Cup trophy was close at hand!
At the same time, Wan Sheng is also happy for the players' performance.
Morris' ability was perfectly demonstrated in this goal just now. He is the team's midfield engine, but the midfield engine will be taken seriously by the opponent. However, Morris still appears at the position that should appear, and used a sudden pass to break Manchester United's defense to create opportunities for his teammates.
This is the performance of the world's top core midfielder!
Morris's excellence also makes Wan Sheng feel a huge sense of accomplishment. Because Morris is a player he trained, Morris was a little famous in his previous life, but it was in the second division of England. There was no such thing as fame in the entire England. Foreign fans would definitely not know him, but now he has become a highly-watched star in the world. His performance is no worse than Gerald and Lampard. Countless clubs want to introduce this midfielder. This is Morris' success and Wan Sheng's success.
Diamares, Pierce, the team doctor and other coaches all came over to celebrate, and the substitutes also gathered around, and everyone cheered in a group, even more crazy than the fans in the stands.
Especially Pierce, his cheeks were flushed with excitement, "Win! Win! Win! We win! We win! We are about to win the championship!"
He has reason to be more excited than others because he has more feelings for Manchester City than others.
Before becoming an assistant coach, Pierce was a player at Manchester City. In a few years, he had a deep affection for Manchester City and hoped that one day, Manchester City would become better. Now the team has achieved success in the league and is about to defeat his arch-rival Manchester United and win the League Cup championship. There is nothing more exciting than this.
Manchester United coach Ferguson completed the 'face change' in a short time.
Before, his face was filled with a smile because C-Ronaldo performed well, and the game situation once tilted towards Manchester United, but now his face became gloomy again, as if a storm would come at any time.
How long has it been!
Ferguson never expected that the situation would be reversed so quickly, Manchester City scored a goal, and Manchester United fell behind two goals again!
How can I chase two balls?
He was also a little confident in the team's tie in the score during the halftime break, but now this confidence is greatly reduced because there is not enough game time.
Not to mention that the team's performance is not satisfactory at the moment, even if the team can perform well again and suppress Manchester City again, every player will perform well, but it is still very difficult to score two goals in less than twenty minutes.
Ferguson is clear about this, Manchester United players are clear about it. Manchester United fans are clear about it, and all media are clear about it.
So the media's remarks are unanimous towards Manchester City. They think there is no suspense about Manchester City's victory, while Manchester United fans are all in dismay. They came to Cardiff from Manchester to see the team lose.
Manchester United players on the court are not good either. No one will like the feeling of failure, especially after seeing hope, their bad mood is imaginable.
The worst of them was C-Ronaldo. At this time, the Portuguese star was looking at Joey Patton with his eyes on fire. After celebrating the goal with his teammates, the latter secretly raised his middle finger at him when he ran over C-Ronaldo. That was completely provoking and teasing him.
c-Ronaldo feels quite angry.
Soon, at the urging of Manchester United, the game started again. When the players ran back to their positions, Wan Sheng shouted and told them to be serious, "The game is not over yet! Play more seriously! Don't give them any chance!"
"Calm down! Be calm! Be patient and play more control and cooperation!"
"Guard the goal! Pay attention!"
The team leads with two goals. There is no need to take risks and attack. Defense is more important, so Wan Sheng emphasizes defense.
In this game, Manchester City's tactics are also focused on defense. In fact, control is the best defense. Football is definitely the safest at your own feet. The opponent will not have any chance.
After the game started again, Manchester United launched a stormy offensive against Manchester City. They had no choice but to go all out and launch an attack. If they wanted to score two goals in a short time, this was the only choice.
When Manchester United did this, the offensive became quite threatening. C-Ronaldo, Giggs, Park Ji-sung, and three players went to Manchester City in three ways to push forward at halftime. Ferdinand in the backcourt also jogged slowly. It was obvious that Manchester United was going to launch a half-siege against Manchester City.
At this time, the player who attracted attention was still C-Ronaldo. Because Manchester United's offensive is still focused on the wing, C-Ronaldo's personal ability is also what they rely on.
Manchester United completed the substitution, Fletcher replaced Brown, and replaced a defender and an offensive forward. Manchester United's plan was self-evident.
However, the appearance of Fletcher is difficult to attract attention. The most noticeable thing is C-Ronaldo on the wing. The Portuguese star's repeated dribbling balls also caused Manchester United fans to shout.
But unfortunately, he met his 'dead enemy' Joey Barton.
When Joey Patton defends C-Ronaldo, he is not stingy with all kinds of small moves. He is almost doing everything and is extremely serious.
It is already quite good for professional players to do this step by Joey Patton. Although he is hovering in front of the England team, there are only more than 20 players in the England team, and he is one of the dozens of outstanding English players.
The stars who can reach this level are all arrogant again. Naturally, he feels dissatisfied with players who are more famous and perform better than themselves, especially those who are handsome and eye-catching, like C-Ronaldo, who are handsome and eye-catching. With this mentality, you can imagine how serious they will deal with it. Once Joey Patton even stopped C-Ronaldo with a "bird-cutting egg" action.
Although he received a yellow card, C-Ronaldo was still full of anger.
Anger has reached a critical point and is about to burst out.
This time, when Joey Patton grabbed the C-Ronaldo jersey again, affecting him to drive the ball forward, C-Ronaldo couldn't help but stop, pushed Joey Patton to the ground with force, and raised his fist to move forward. Fortunately, the others who rushed over pulled him.
Joey Patton stood up innocently.
Other players of the two teams rushed up and confronted each other on the court. These stars have experienced ups and downs. When the referee did not notice, they kept taking advantage of the situation. As a result, the referee had to forcefully warn them, leaving everyone apart, and then he showed a red card to C-Ronaldo.
Sent off!
Manchester United players have to argue, but the referee's penalty has not yet ended, and Joey Patton also received a yellow card, two yellows turned red, and he was also sent off.
After the penalty, the referee pointed at the sidelines and asked the two to leave immediately.
c-Ronaldo's eyes were full of anger and had to leave the stadium. Before leaving, Saha came over to comfort him, but c-Ronaldo ignored him and directly threw Saha's hand away from the stadium. He didn't even go back to the bench, but left the stadium directly. Many cameras kept chasing him on his back.
By comparison, Joey Barton performed much better.
He walked straight to the bench, took over the jersey handed over by assistant coach Pierce, and greeted his teammates.
At this time, Wansheng walked forward, looked at him with a smile, and gave him a thumbs up.
That action was done on purpose in the camera!
Seeing this picture, those Manchester United supporters immediately said angrily, "Joey Patton listened to Wan Sheng's explanation and went on the court to deliberately anger Ronaldo! This is so dirty!"
"Despicable! So despicable! This Chinese man is completely shameless in order to win!"
"Manchester City will win with despicable means!"
Wan Sheng couldn't hear these angry voices, and even if he heard them, it didn't matter. His actions just now were to help Joey Patton withstand the pressure.
Joey Patton's defense on the court is indeed quite 'dirty'. With C-Ronaldo being sent off, it is conceivable what the Manchester United media and Manchester City hostile media will say after the game, so he must take the pressure.
Those media want to talk about him. Anyway, there are many media that are throwing dirty water on him, and it doesn't matter how many more ones are. What's important is that C-Ronaldo was sent off and the game is more confident.
Facing the camera, Wan Sheng smiled, curled his lips provocatively, and raised his eyebrows, as if he was saying, "It was me who asked Joey Patton to do this, what can you do?" So he even louder about Wan Sheng's conquest.
It's a pity that these voices are useless to the game. Manchester United must accept the fact that C-Ronaldo was sent off. Although Joey Patton was also sent off, can Joey Patton compare with C-Ronaldo?
They suffered a great loss when they changed this one!
Next, Manchester United's offense was significantly affected. He was already behind two goals, and his core offensive point was sent off. The mentality of Manchester United players was affected, and their performance was naturally affected. Everyone knew that they would definitely lose today, so their offense became much messy.
Manchester City did not take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and they still focused on defending the goal.
It seems that Manchester United's offensive is very messy and the formation is a bit unstable, but what if they do this on purpose? What's more, Manchester United is Manchester United after all, missing a C-Ronaldo, Giggs, Park Ji-sung, Rooney, and Sakha. As long as there is a sudden outbreak, so it is most important to have so many stars who may score goals, so not giving them any chance.
Just then time passed by little by little.
Although Manchester United is still attacking, anyone knows that they have few opportunities. As the commentator of Sky TV said, "It is difficult for Manchester United to equalize the score again, but they can only continue to do so. It will be hopeless to keep working hard but see no hope." As he said, the game entered stoppage time.
The game has basically been settled, and the final is over. No one believes that Manchester United can score two goals in three minutes of stoppage time, so Manchester City fans in the stands have begun to celebrate the championship.
Finally time has passed.
In the last three minutes, Manchester United still created a threat, but there was no time left and they still did not score. As Kopelle Ferreira used his head to push the ball out of the sideline, the referee also blew the whistle to the end of the game in time.
Many TV commentators unanimously shouted, "Congratulations to Manchester City, they won the 2005-2006 season, the English League Cup!" (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
