Chapter 112 Killing Chickens with Knives
This time Ruud van Nistelrooy really Ferguson, and his name disappeared from the substitute list.
This means that Ferguson temporarily removed him from the list and did not even give him a replacement.
Filling in his name is Rossi, and this time Vanney can really find Smith to travel with him.
Not giving Ruud van Nistelrooy on the bench shows that Ferguson is not tolerant of him and would rather pin his hopes on the youngster Rossi than give Ruud van Nistelrooy another chance.
This time the lord was really annoyed.
At the pre-match press conference, reporters asked him why he had dropped Alex Ferguson.
Ferguson directly used "Vanney is sick. The reason was prevaricated, and he was reluctant to talk too much about Vanney. As long as they win Southampton at home, Ruud van Nistelrooy's business will not matter.
Manchester United don't stop because of a certain star, there are always new people who will step up!
At home to Southampton in the league, Ferguson played almost the same line-up as in the Carabao Cup, except that at the back, Silvester replaced Brown, in midfield Kleberson replaced Fletcher, and the rest of the position remained the same.
On the forward line, Dong Fangzhuo is still partnered with Rooney.
Although he rarely communicates with Rooney, the cooperation between the two is becoming more and more tacit.
You know, both of them are only 19 years old, and it is unthinkable that they will start Manchester United at the age of 19 and play together.
Coupled with Ronaldo, who is also 19 years old, the front three are the youngest combination in the Premier League.
This is Manchester United, not your average club, and even a star like Ruud van Nistelrooy was left out of the squad, which shows how bold Ferguson's decision is, and he dares to throw away any star who challenges his authority.
"That is, the lord dares to play like this, as the head coach of other teams, it is impossible to put two equally young strikers to start, the safest way must be Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy, or Rooney and Saha, everyone is used to the big star pressing the lineup." Lineker is back at Old Trafford to be on hand to explain the game.
But Dong proved with his excellent performance that he was more than capable of starting and scoring goals. There's an Italian kid on the bench, which may be why Ferguson dared to try. Of course, if the game doesn't go well, Ferguson will have to pay the price for the decision he made, and he didn't even bring Ruud van Nistelrooy! ”
"Maybe it's unfair to Ruud van Nistelrooy, he's back from injury, he's in very good shape, there's no problem playing the main team, I think the problem is in the dressing room, there's no wind and no waves, there must be a serious problem in the dressing room at Manchester United, as the media reported, Ruud van Nistelrooy has caused the anger of all his teammates in the team, he may really be sold by the lord. Of course, the premise is that the other strikers can play consistently and consistently score goals, otherwise Ruud van Nistelrooy will still be United's biggest thigh. ”
'Luckily, Southampton seem to be ready for relegation, with only two wins so far this season! It seems that a Championship place has been booked in advance. ”
Lineker is not exaggerating to say that Southampton have not been competitive in the league this season, and they have been in last place in the table from the first round to the present......
Almost every team that meets them is able to press them against the turf and rub them.
And Ferguson is now killing chickens with a knife. Considering there is the final round of Champions League games to play in the middle of next week, he should have opted for a rotation in this game, but he did not do so and continued to play with most of his main team, the most important reason being that he did not want to drop points against the weak teams, did not want any surprises, and chased Arsenal and Chelsea in the league table.
This knife immediately dominated the court from the very beginning of the match.
After the big game against Arsenal, the team was actually a little tired, but they were still very excited against Southampton.
Especially Dong Fangzhuo, he finally couldn't feel the pressure from behind him, and seemed to be able to do whatever he wanted.
But he found out that it was not him who could do whatever he wanted, but Ronaldo and Rooney.
Ronaldo is like playing on the right side, facing the weak team, Ronaldo also showed a selfish side, this thing rushed left and right on the right side, buried himself in the ball and had fun.
Wayne Rooney was strolling around in front of the penalty area and didn't pay attention to the opposing player.
In the 10th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo made a break on the right flank to Southampton's penalty area and fired a right-footed shot into the far corner to open the scoring for Manchester United. Cristiano Ronaldo is completely self-sufficient, well-fed, creating his own chances and scoring goals.
Manchester United, who scored comfortably, went from start to finish.
In the 22nd minute, Rooney took the ball in front of the penalty area and smashed a defender directly into the net to score his seventh league goal of the season, ranking first in the team.
This goal also fully demonstrated Rooney's individual ability, after receiving a pass from Giggs, he did not hurry to get rid of the defense in front of the big penalty area, and then calmly shot at the goal.
At this time, Dong Fangzhuo has been cruising in the opponent's big penalty area, and there are few opportunities to get the ball, just a point to attract defensive firepower.
The limelight was stolen by Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.
This can't be done, it's impossible to say that you don't score a goal, you can't score a goal by playing as a deputy squad leader, even if you work hard in front, it's useless.
Maybe Ferguson will replace him in the second half, with Saha and Rossi waiting on the bench.
So
You have to find a way to score.
Goals can continue to dominate the starting position......
But you can't mess with the team's rhythm and formation.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney both scored a goal, and although they weren't full, it was their turn. Thinking about these clearly, Dong Fangzhuo deliberately pulled outside the big penalty area, and no longer left the area outside the penalty area to Rooney.
He had to encroach on a little of Rooney's area, which was not too much, he had sacrificed himself in the first place, and now, he just wanted a little interest back.
Rooney and Ronaldo are also very knowledgeable, and after scoring goals, they both remembered Dong Fangzhuo.
In the 37th minute, Ronaldo once again went on the right side, inverted the triangle back to Rooney, Rooney could choose to shoot, and stuffed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo on the left side, Dong Fangzhuo pushed the far corner with his right foot, rewriting the score to 3:0.
Quite simply, Ferguson was happy with the result in the first half, but he was not satisfied, and in the second half he replaced Ryan Giggs with Fletcher, not the attack.
Southampton conceded three goals in a row, and there was no possibility of recovering the score, but the lord still did not move, and still did not play Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney.
Then in the 61st minute, Ronaldo crossed to the back point on the left side, Rooney grabbed the landing point and gave the ball to Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo easily swept into the goal and scored twice.
"It's time for a substitution!"
"And the Champions League." Lineker couldn't see why Ferguson was slow to change his attack.
What is he waiting for?
It wasn't until Wayne Rooney scored his fifth goal for Manchester United that he replaced Dong Fangzhuo and Wayne Rooney at the same time.
Lineker seems to have figured it out.
"I see."
"It's ......"
