Chapter 889: If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it
In the coach's seat, Martin Yol's face was unusually ugly, if the score could be maintained at the end of the first half, perhaps, Fulham still had a chance to win this game, but now, the result is difficult to predict. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the other side, Van Basten couldn't help but raise his arms and shout to pull a goal back in the first half, which undoubtedly relieved the pressure on Manchester City in the second half.
Although Van Basten has absolute confidence in his disciples, but in the football game, it is not enough to have confidence, even if the opponent is a strong country, it is still possible to capsize in the gutter, which Van Basten has experienced enough since he was a player.
As for the equaliser, Van Basten didn't think about it, but he also knew that it was not very likely, even if Manchester City started to take advantage of the momentum of the rainbow to attack again.
However, on the contrary, Fulham also retracted further, and the word "bus" in front of the door continued to sound in the mouths of commentators from various countries in the following time.
However, no amount of commentators and fans have any impact on the game, and the real decision is made by the players on both sides and the manager on the sidelines.
It's a luxury for a team that has always been underdog, and the points are the most practical thing, and of course, there are some paranoid managers, such as Wigan Athletic's manager Martinez.
In the end, the score remained until half-time, and although Manchester City continued to attack, it was a pity that they could not score again, and under Fulham's ultra-dense defense, Manchester City's chance-forwards did not get any good chances.
Back in the dressing room, Van Basten was the first to apologise for his lack of pre-match arrangement, not expecting Fulham's opening tactics to be a problem for their coaching staff and his manager.
However, conceding two goals in a row is a problem for the players on the field, and it is understandable to lose one, it is a sneak attack by the opponent's tactics, but the second goal conceded is a bit undeserved.
While admitting his mistakes, he also pointed out the mistakes of the players, and Van Basten's move convinced the players, since they were wrong, they naturally had to correct them.
"In the second half, the wind, Yaya, you step up your long-range shots, and, James, you replace Nigel" Van Basten made a second-half change, which was also the first time Van Basten made a substitution at half-time this season.
Soon, the players from both sides returned to the pitch, "Oh, Manchester City actually made a change at half-time, and it seems that Van Basten is very unhappy with the scoreline. ”
Compared to Manchester City's substitutions, Fulham maintained their original line-up, and their defensive contraction did not change, leaving Petrich to roam there in front.
Manchester City kicked off, and the first shot on goal came from striker Robin van Persie, but it was a long-range shot, and Van Persie had already received a pass from Li Feng before he could rush into the box.
Although he has only been a teammate with Li Feng for more than two months, Van Persie has fully appreciated Li Feng's incredibleness, and even during this time, he has been glad that he chose Manchester City rather than Manchester United.
And the moment he received Li Feng's pass, Van Persie understood Li Feng's intentions, so Van Persie did not rush into the penalty area with the ball, but directly blasted a long shot outside the big penalty area.
On the goal line, Schwarzer's performance was still excellent, and Van Persie's long-range shot was a bit unexpected, but Schwarzer still kept Van Persie's shot out of the net.
Two minutes later, substitute Frenkie de Jong's Milner also had a long-range shot, which was played by Li Feng and Yaya Toure, and Milner cut in from behind and fired a powerful long-range shot just from the top of the arc that Schwarzer saved.
I have to say that from the beginning to the present, except for Li Feng's single knife in the first half, Schwarzer's performance is definitely much better than Joe Hart's, and the number of saves is several times that of Joe Hart.
Fulham counter-attacked again, and De Jong was substituted to liberate Ruiz to a certain extent, and this time Fulham's counterattack was instigated by Ruiz.
He sent a through ball after a pass from a street team-mate near midfield, and Petritsch struggled forward, but unfortunately he was not as fast as Clichy.
However, Rodalega reacted quickly, cutting in from behind at high speed, Petritsch passed the ball decisively, but Zabaleta stopped in time in front of Rodalega.
Another quick counter-attack failed and could only pass the ball back to Ruiz, who held the ball and gave it a chance to pass again to Petritsch in the middle of Yaya Toure and Li Feng.
The latter was fouled by Clichy, and although the referee did not take out the card, it was Fulham's free kick, which Manchester City fans complained.
If Manchester City gets such two free kick opportunities, maybe at this moment, Manchester City has equalized the score, but Manchester City has no good free kick opportunities, even if Fulham fouls, the position is also very good, which can be seen from the opening to the present, Fulham has not won the pie.
Luiz's free-kick wasn't as good as it was in the first half, and although the ball went over the wall, it didn't fly towards the goal, but directly into the stands.
In the following period, Manchester City firmly controlled the rhythm of the game, and the attack was wave after wave, but even if Manchester City's attack was like a monstrous wave, the small ship of Fulham never capsized.
"Manchester City's second substitution, Dzeko, Manchester City striker came on, he replaced Zabaleta, oh oh~~ Manchester City hasn't been so desperate for a long time."
"Yes, on the other hand, although the outcome of the game is not yet known, Fulham can make Manchester City work so hard, definitely the only team this season, even the likes of Arsenal and Juventus can't cause such problems for Manchester City."
On the other side, after seeing Van Basten's substitution, Martin Jol finally made the first adjustment of the game, defender Kelly replaced Petrich, and Fulham was bound to defend to the end.
However, in China, there is a saying called "if you keep it for a long time, you must lose", and these four words can be applied not only on the field, but also on the court.
In the 79th minute of the game, Manchester City finally equalized, relying on a long-range shot, and Dzeko's appearance still played a key role.
Dzeko used his impact to keep Fulham's defence firmly in the box, and the trio of Li Feng, Milner and Yaya Toure broke into the Fulham penalty area again.
It's just that this time it was Li Feng who shot the goal, Yaya Toure and Milner took Sidwell and Berdra away respectively, Li Feng received Yaya Toure's return pass at the back point, and then blasted out the most exciting long-range shot of the game.
"goal~~~ The goal was scored, Manchester City finally equalized, and in the 80th minute of the game, Fulham's crazy defense finally broke at the feet of the wind."
"A super heavy cannon, the ball flew straight like a cannonball, flying straight into the Fulham goal from the dense crowd, Schwarzer did not react at all this time, because there were so many people in the penalty area that he didn't see the wind at all." (To be continued.) )
