Chapter 229 Choice
In this game, Manchester City goalkeeper is Wang Xiaolei.
With the increase in his game experience, Wang Xiaolei's ability has been revealed. He has little experience in major competitions, but his performance on the court no longer belongs to David James. The most important thing is that his condition is more stable.
This is a bit incredible to say.
Will David James, 36, be in a stable state as good as that of Wang Xiaolei, 18?
But that's the truth.
James is a famous "butter" in England. After the age of 30, his "mistakes" still cannot be changed. He often makes some minor mistakes in the game. It is precisely because of this that he loses the main goalkeeper position in England.
After Wan Sheng coached Manchester City, this is still the case.
Wansheng has a headache about this.
The football training master system is not omnipotent. Wan Sheng can only help James improve his abilities, but cannot help him get rid of his frequent "low-level mistakes" in the game. In addition, David James is old, so Wan Sheng plans to change a goalkeeper, but it is difficult to find an excellent goalkeeper in Europe. A capable goalkeeper is not worth a payout. In addition, they will not choose to come to Manchester City, so Wan Sheng thinks to train Wang Xiaolei more.
Wang Xiaolei's ability is enough, and the only thing he lacks is experience. So when Wang Xiaolei grows up, he is ready to let Wang Xiaolei replace James' position.
Now, Wang Xiaolei cannot completely replace James, and the two can only take turns to take charge of Manchester City goals, but Wan Sheng believes that by the end of the season, Wang Xiaolei will definitely surpass James in all aspects.
Wansheng is looking forward to this.
At this time, Wang Xiaolei was experiencing frequent tests. Due to tactical issues, Manchester City's defense is not stable. The players' running and pressing throughout the game can only limit Manchester United's offense. This kind of limitation is limited. After all, several players in the frontcourt are not good at defense. In addition, there is no stable back midfielder and three-guard formation. When Manchester United passes the ball to the frontcourt, Manchester City's defense is easily challenged.
In five minutes, Manchester United had three shots, two of which were within the goal frame.
Wang Xiaolei reacted very quickly, and he used two saves to help the team get out of danger.
Even the commentator at Old Trafford Stadium couldn't help but praise Wang Xiaolei, "We know that Dong is from China, and Manchester City's starting goalkeeper is also from China. It is said that he is only 18 years old. Most of the goalkeepers of this age are still in their own youth teams, but he has appeared in the Premier League. We can see that his two saves just now were perfect, and he saved Rooney and Carrick's shots respectively."
After complimenting, he couldn't help but add, "If he could come to Manchester United, he might be Van der Sar's best successor."
The commentator of Old Trafford Stadium was praising it, but Wang Xiaolei certainly would not agree with this.
Now his career is booming. He is about to replace James to take over Manchester City's goal, so why do he still have to go to Manchester United to be a substitute for Van der Sar?
This makes no sense at all.
But maybe Ferguson thought so too.
Two years ago, Manchester United bought Dong Fangzhuo. One is that Dong Fangzhuo has good abilities and is worth training. Two is that he is a Chinese. Buying a Chinese player is very beneficial to Manchester United's strategy of occupying more Chinese markets. The only thing that makes the Jazz headache is that Dong Fangzhuo failed to obtain a labor certificate. Manchester United cannot use the "genius clause" on him, so Dong Fangzhuo delayed for two years and was unable to play for Manchester United.
Now that Dong Fangzhuo has obtained a labor certificate, Ferguson has planned to recall him in the winter to decide whether to give him a formal contract depending on his performance.
Ferguson was looking forward to this.
After Van Nie left Manchester United, there were still quite a problem with the team's forward line. Rooney was unable to completely replace the position, and Saha was frequently injured. At this time, a talented shooter returned, which would definitely be very beneficial to the team.
On this point, he envied Wan Sheng very much.
After Wan Sheng arrived at Manchester City, he directly summoned the "cheap" Darren Bent, but the latter exploded one after another, but the number of goals scored more than Rooney as the "No. 2" striker. This performance made Darren Bent's call in England soar. Some media even suggested that Erikson use Darren Bent to replace Rooney or Irving's forward position.
This is the vision.
Ferguson himself does not have such vision. Of course, he is just envious of this. For Manchester United, they do not need to train forwards themselves, they only need to buy those famous stars.
Now seeing Wang Xiaolei's performance, Ferguson was moved again.
Van der Sar is 36 years old and is not too old as a goalkeeper. How many years can he do it, but what is important is that this young goalkeeper who played for Manchester City is only 18 years old!
How many goalkeepers in the top league at the age of 18 are there in the world? The only thing Ferguson can think of is Italian goalkeeper Buffon.
Now there is Wang Xiaolei again, he represents Manchester City.
It can be seen from Manchester City's strength in the current game that they are really no worse than Manchester United at all. In other words, this young Chinese goalkeeper is already quite outstanding.
In two years, when Van der Sar is nearly 40 years old, he will definitely retire. This young Chinese goalkeeper is only 20 years old. Isn’t it that Manchester United won’t have to worry about the goalkeeper position in the next 20 years?
He will definitely retire in a few years.
When Manchester United fans see Wang Xiaolei, they may think of him who brought Wang Xiaolei to Manchester United in person?
Ferguson thought.
At this time, Wang Xiaolei faced another challenge.
This may be the most difficult challenge since the start of the game. Manchester City's offensive ended, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack, Carrick found an opportunity to pass the ball to the front of the penalty area, Wayne Rooney got rid of the defense and received the pass, and rushed straight to the goal.
Single sword!
"Good opportunity! Rooney, Rooney"
"Shot!"
The shouts at Old Trafford Stadium rose to the sky with Rooney's shot. All Manchester United fans were looking forward to Rooney helping Manchester United equalize the score, but the next moment they were disappointed. The young goalkeeper with the handle in front of Manchester City's goal made a perfect save after blocking the angle - he directly threw Rooney's shot into his arms!
"call"
The entire stadium was filled with sighs of regret from Manchester United fans.
At the same time, Manchester City fans also breathed a sigh of relief. This time the goal hugged again, and the same was true for Wan Sheng. No matter what, the worst case still came. The team only used the previous time to score a goal, and now the tactics cannot be adjusted at all. Manchester United has adapted, so the team's defense began to be frequently challenged.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaolei performed well.
Looking at the young face on the court, a huge sense of accomplishment arose from my heart. Wang Xiaolei, this is a Chinese player he has trained carefully. He is only 18 years old and can make his debut in the Premier League.
Even if he is gone now, this young man will have a bright future!
Wan Sheng is sure!
This was brought by himself. Just when Wan Sheng was still thinking about it, Wang Xiaolei had already stood up with the ball on the court. He glanced at the front court and drove the ball out with his feet.
Few people realize how dangerous this ball is!
The Manchester United players were still regretting that the ball did not score, and the Manchester City players were also sighing in secretly, cheering for Wang Xiaolei's wonderful save. However, at this time, Manchester United's half had already changed, and Morris received a pass in the frontcourt.
Because of Manchester United's fast break just now, the team had to retreat to defend, and there were only Morris and Darren Bent in the frontcourt. There was also Downing who was standing on the side, and other players could no longer keep up. At the same time, Manchester United's defense was also very loose. Only Ferdinand and Vidic could really defend the middle.
Just then, Morris made an unexpected pass!
Under no defense, he drove the ball into the penalty area and broke the ball, and the football fell over Ferdinand's head, just in front of Darren Bent.
"Danger"
The on-site commentator realized it.
His shout reminded the fans on the scene. The fans immediately focused on the game. Manchester United fans were nervously watching their half, worried about Manchester City's counterattack.
Darren Bent reacted almost instinctively.
He stopped the ball steadily.
Vidic chased after him, but it was too late. He secretly annoyed that he had not come to defend the first time just now. His position was a little bit on the right, and it was a bit late to run over.
Darren Bent has started and he dribbled into the penalty area!
Manchester City fans shouted desperately to cheer him up, while Manchester United fans used a "boo" sound to interfere with Darren Bent's advance, and goalkeeper Van der Sar had already rushed out.
The camera aimed at Manchester United goal.
The only focus of the game is only three - Van der Sar, Darren Bent and the goal.
"This is a good opportunity. Morris passed a good goal, and Darren Bent got a one-on-one opportunity! He has faced Manchester United's goal."
Amid George Woodgate's roar, Darren Bent and Van der Sar were about to collide. Van der Sar tried to block the angle, and it was not easy for Darren Bent to score the ball.
At this time, Darren Bent was very excited. He didn't expect that he would get a second good chance.
This is the Manchester derby!
How many players can score two goals in the Manchester derby? Although they are not very clear about the numbers, there must be not many, and now he, Darren Bente, has a chance.
He suppressed his inner excitement and stared at Van der Sar's movements carefully.
Just then, while Darren Bente ran, he suddenly noticed a touch of white from the corner of his eyes. Of course he knew what that meant, but now was his chance to "scort twice".
Manchester derby, can you still pass the ball when facing the goalkeeper?
If it were the past, Darren Bent had no need to think about it and chose to shoot by himself. Even if his teammates or coach asked about it, he would say he didn't notice it at that time.
But now he suddenly thought of what the coach said before the game, "If everyone has the sense of honor of the team, can think about the team, treat the team as a 'home', and have a higher sense of belonging, then Manchester City would be invincible!"
Is this really the case?
He also thought about it, and now he answered, "Do I have a sense of belonging to the team? Do I belong here? The honor of the team is my honor?"
Only by choosing to pass the ball now can you have a greater chance of scoring goals and the team will have a greater chance of winning!
With a few thoughts flashing, Darren Bent had already made a move. He did not choose to shoot, but pushed the ball flat to the right. The white figure had already set up a pose. When the football rolled over, he pushed the ball gently.
Football rolled into the goal without any suspense.
It was not until then that Darren Bent saw Tang Ning rushing over from the side. He grinned at Tang Ning, who rushed over excitedly and hugged him. (~^~)
