Chapter 105: Counterattack in a Desperate Situation
In the 21st minute, Arsenal took the lead away from home, with United trailing.
"Manchester United are doing well, it's just that Henry is too perverted."
'You can only describe Henry as a pervert, there are no other words, once he is in goalscoring form, it is very difficult to stop him from scoring. Thierry Henry is definitely in full form today, and United need to defend him more specifically. ”
"Ferguson still made a mistake and should have put China Dong off the bench and let Ruud van Nistelrooy start. How can a yellow man play in the Premier League? You can't start him just because he has only a few good performances, he's still better off the bench. ”
Andy Gray, another Sky Sports commentator, suddenly spoke in surprise. This very obscene-looking guy has a strong racial discrimination in his tone.
Lineker, who was sitting on the side, turned dark, wondering how could Gray spit out such shitty remarks. As a senior commentator, how can you throw out such irresponsible remarks. Why can't the yellow race play the Premier League?
"Do you know how many goals Dong has scored in the Premier League?"
He held back his anger and confronted Andy Gray.
"Not much, just a few."
"How many more did Rooney go into?"
"But his role is obvious." Andy Gray's face sank, knowing that Lineker was stirring up trouble, and he was dissatisfied with what he had just said. What kind of playhouse are you singing with me? What's wrong with me saying that yellow people can't play the Premier League? How many Asians have played in the Premier League so far?
Didn't you?
Is the Championship majestic?
He fought back with confidence, "Look at the English Premier League, how many Asians have done it? ”
What he said was actually quite well-founded.
For Asian players, the Premier League is not a fertile ground for their success, since Asian players began to land in Europe in the 70s of the last century, Germany has always been the first choice, and the South Korean international Che Fangun and Japanese international Yasuhiko Okutera have both succeeded in the Bundesliga.
It was only a matter of four seasons before an Asian player first set foot in England, with Iranian international Angela Bagheri officially moving to Charlton Athletic in the Premier League for £1.1 million in the 2000/2002 season, setting a precedent for Asian players to play in the Premier League.
However, Bagheri's experience in the Premier League was very bleak, and throughout the season, he played more for the club's second team, and his appearance in the Premier League was only ten minutes, and at the end of the season, the depressed Bagheri had to return to the Arabian Peninsula to live in the UAE league.
Bagherry's failure in the Premier League is enough to show that with the physical fitness and tactical awareness of Asian players, it is difficult to integrate into the rough and passionate style of play of the Premier League.
Akihiro Nishizawa and Junichi Inamoto are currently the representatives of the Japanese national team, because the Japanese team has won the Asian Cup and the Fed Cup runner-up in recent years, and has also made Japanese players favored by European clubs, after the 01 Confederations Cup, there have been 5 Japanese internationals to play abroad, of which 3 set foot in England.
When Nishizawa first arrived in Bolton, England, he was on loan for 10 months for a loan fee of 50 million yen and a weekly salary of 1.4 million yen. There was speculation that he could be a regular in the Premier League due to his performances in the early training and warm-up games, but Nishizawa missed the chance to play with a left foot injury before the first game, which saw Bolton thrash Leicester 5-0.
In the following games, Bolton basically determined the anti-counter-attack tactics of 451, and due to the presence of Ritz, Nishizawa did not have a chance to play at all.
Junichi Inamoto's fate is the same as that of Akira Nishizawa, although he is an absolute mainstay in the Japanese national team, and the transfer fee is as high as 4 million pounds, but his statistics are far from those of Arsenal's big stars, who, like Nishizawa, have never played in the Premier League, and the two are more involved in the reserve team or in the Carabao Cup......
Anyway, there really isn't a single Asian player in the Premier League who can play.
Dong Fangzhuo is indeed very lucky.
However, this does not justify Andy Gray's discrimination.
If he had known that in the next few years, there would have been a succession of players in Asia who had landed in the Premier League and achieved great success, he would have been beaten in the face.
Such as Sun Jihae, Park Ji-sung, Shinji Kagawa, Son Heung-min, etc......
"Do you think the lord is blind? If you do, you're the manager of Manchester United, not just sitting here...... It's only been 21 minutes and you've started to arbitrarily break everything, if Dong scores a goal in a while, do you want to stuff the ball into the **? If you're so sure. ”
Andy Gray's face was a little dark, and he was choked by Lineker on the spot.
Dong Fangzhuo didn't score, of course he wasn't sure, and he naturally wouldn't do such a stupid act as stuffing the ball, so he was silent and didn't answer Lineker's words.
The game between Manchester United and Arsenal has restarted, and Arsenal have not taken it as soon as they see it, it's not their style. This game is to die and Manchester United, must be divided into winners and losers, rare one goal lead, must be beaten by Manchester United, Manchester United is on the backward side, will definitely press up, if you don't take the opportunity to take Manchester United's life, Arsenal will be blind.
The pace of the game was getting faster and the two sides began to battle it out in midfield.
Arsenal largely relied on short passes and tried to control the game as much as possible, but United were quick to move the ball down the flanks for the most part.
Fletcher's footwork is still a lot worse than Keane's, and many balls are not passed in place and are not stable enough.
In the 34th minute, Fletcher finally got the wrong result, the ball that was supposed to be handed to Giggs was cut off by the shrewd Reyes, who then immediately passed the ball to Thierry Henry in front.
It's Henry again.
This time Henry didn't need to travel long distances, as he was not far from the big penalty area of Manchester United!
Reyes ran to the left and opened up the gap, and Henry faced the improvised Rio Ferdinand in front of the big penalty line, and stepped on the ball with his left and right feet crossed to move down the middle.
Then suddenly he shot with his left foot.
Carroll didn't react again, and the ball stuck to the turf and flew towards the bottom left corner of the goal!
"Oh, God! Actually fell behind 0:2! ”
"Manchester United are dead!" Andy Gray exclaimed, finally able to vent.
It was Lineker's turn to be silent.
At this time, it's really hard to spray......
"Manchester United are going to die, if they can come back and eat the ball!" Andy Gray was triumphant and could finally boast about Haikou.
"......" Lineker could only silently pray that Gray would have this opportunity.
0:2 behind!
For the first time this season, United are down by that many goals.
Although it was only the League Cup, it was definitely the most challenging.
What to do?
Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo glanced at each other again......
No matter how talented a player is, he still seems a little helpless at this time when he is behind.
Ferguson couldn't sit still and walked around the sidelines, he was most worried about Fletcher's position, and sure enough, he was blown up by Arsenal in the game.
With a score of 0:2 against Arsenal, it was almost an impossible task.
He glanced at the bench, where Ruud van Nistelrooy was sitting with his chin on his back, not paying attention to the game at all, and seemed to be about to fall asleep.
He shook his head inwardly and returned his attention to the court.
Manchester United kick off again.
Dong Fangzhuo handed the ball back to Rooney, who handed it to Giggs, who quickly handed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo.
Bang –
Dong Fangzhuo fell heavily, and Vieira's strong body blocked Dong Fangzhuo's forward route like a rock.
Bah!
The referee's whistle blew and it was a foul.
But after Dong Fangzhuo got up, he grabbed the ball next to him and quickly kicked the ball to Scholes!
Didn't wait for the referee to blow the whistle again!
Since it was near the midfield, I chose not to blow.
And Dong Fangzhuo has already ejected like an arrow, instantly passing Vieira, who is still proud, and plunging straight into the hinterland of Arsenal.
"What?!"
Flamini rushed over, only to find that Scholes' scalpel through ball had reached Dong Fangzhuo......
The middle lane was opened up in an instant!
There was only one Sendros in front, and even Kolo Toure couldn't do it.
Dong Fangzhuo unloaded the ball while running......
