Chapter 877: One Pick Two
Ferguson finally made his skip shot.
Since Raphael can't be replaced, let people help him, and can't let him face the glory alone, which will also bring a devastating blow to Raphael's self-confidence.
When he first became Manchester United's main right-back, encountering such a strong opponent was also detrimental to Rafael's growth.
Who will help Raphael?
Ferguson chose Park Ji-sung.
The Korean has a strong running ability, he has a nickname called "Park Sam Lung", he has three lungs, so he is naturally very good at running.
At the beginning of the second half, Park Ji-sung also made up for Rafael in time, so it was most appropriate for him to help Rafael.
Park Ji-sung has been a regular for a while since his move to Manchester United, but as he has aged, he has gradually become a rotation player.
Park Ji-sung is mainly using his movement in the midfield to increase the team's midfield's interception ability, and at the same time, in attack, because of his excellent running, he can create some opportunities for the team.
But Park Ji-sung is not the kind of player who relies on the brilliance of his genius to eat, and he mainly relies on his diligence to earn a place at Manchester United.
The order to adjust was quickly sent to Park Ji-sung.
Park Ji-sung happily accepted the arrangement, even though the task could be the most difficult to accomplish and he could be scapegoated by the media and fans if the team fails.
But he didn't hesitate.
Besides, he has always wanted to have a good competition with Rongguang in the game.
Although this summer, there will be a friendly between the two sides. But it's not a real game after all.
When Glory was still at Bayern Munich, the two teams met twice.
However, at that time, Ferguson did not let Park Ji-sung go to defend Glory, so the two did not fight in such a targeted manner in the game.
※※※
After Park Ji-sung received the order, he basically stopped participating in the attack.
He is stuck on the right side of Manchester United, very close to Rafael, and if Glory gets the ball here, he will be the first to go up to assist Rafael in defending.
However, after Park Ji-sung went up to participate in the defense, the situation did not fundamentally improve. It's just that Raphael has changed from a wolf bèi to a wolf bèi by Raphael and Park Ji-sung......
Glory had been scrappy from the start, and if it hadn't been for Ferguson's tactical focus, he would have scored earlier than Cristiano Ronaldo, but it doesn't matter now, he has found a way to threaten the United goal just as much on the wing.
The criticism against him and Sun Fengyang before the game was all because of this game, or because of Manchester United.
So Glory must now let the people of Manchester United know in the game, and let Ferguson and Cristiano Ronaldo know that provoking themselves will indeed make them lose their minds, but it will also put them in a more dangerous situation!
After scoring in the first half, Glory's form soared rapidly, and as soon as the second half came up, he desperately played on the right side of Manchester United.
Park Ji-sung made a tackle near the baseline, and the ball hit Young-gwang's body and bounced back, bounced to his own leg, rolled out of the baseline, corner.
Park Ji-sung gasped and got up from the ground.
Even Park Sanlung felt tired at this time.
Again, this exhaustion is mainly psychological.
He doesn't know if he will be able to seal off the glory with Rafael completely, and he just hopes that the pressure will be less on him when United can score first up front before they concede and regain the lead.
※※※
City have now found that on both flanks, either Glory or Robinho, can put a lot of pressure on United's backline, and they have found a way to attack at once, and their thinking is much clearer.
This boosted the confidence and morale of all the players at Manchester City.
As a result, Manchester City's offensive was much more fierce than before.
They just need to find a way to get the ball to the wings, to the glory and Robinho.
Especially for glory, Robinho has Evra on his side, and his strength is stronger, and Robinho may not be able to take advantage of Evra in front of him.
On the side of Glory, whether it is Raphael, or Raphael and Park Ji-sung, both of them are very wolf in the face of Glory.
Although Benitez certainly hasn't watched "Tian Ji Horse Racing", he actually played Tian Ji horse racing. Of United's two wide defences, Patrice Evra was the strongest, while City were the strongest in attacking on the wings. Then there is no need to let the two strongest go head-to-head, let the weakest Robinho deal with the strongest Evra, even if Evra wins, it doesn't make much sense.
On the contrary, on the side of Glory and Rafael, Glory can easily gain the upper hand and then threaten Manchester United's goal......
It was almost 15 minutes into the second half, and although United still had the advantage in possession, it was a chance to threaten the opposition goal...... Now it seems that Manchester City has more of them.
No, City's attack is coming again......
※※※
Elano was pressed by the Manchester United players and still sent the football to the wing.
After Younggwang received the football, he quickly adjusted his direction, allowing him to face Park Ji-sung and Rafael directly.
In the face of the defense of two people, he seemed very relaxed, with a posture that did not take the other party into account at all.
He does have the ability to do so, as in previous matchups, these two men have tried various methods, but neither of them can effectively stop Glory.
Whether it is one person who comes forward to interfere, another person who waits for an opportunity to break the ball in the back, or two people coming together, it will be passed by Glory in the simplest way. They couldn't even afford to let the glory linger on the two of them a little longer......
So this time, the two of them did not pounce, but kept a suitable distance from Rongguang, fought and retreated, and gave their teammates the opportunity to build an iron wall in the penalty area. Anyway, Glory still has to play football in the middle in the end, so as long as Manchester United's defense in the middle doesn't have problems.
The two of them, as long as they can delay the glory for a while, let him control the ball for a while longer, it will be considered a successful completion of the defensive task.
Seeing that the two of them adopted such a defensive strategy this time, Rong Guang brought the football forward.
Because the opponent didn't give him enough space, he couldn't accelerate, so he moved forward with the ball at a very ordinary speed.
Park Ji-sung and Raphael followed suit, following suit.
When they were about to retreat to the penalty line, the two of them were a little nervous.
Because if you retreat, it's a forbidden area...... If you just let it into the box, what's the point of defending?
Defending and defending, the defense is to break into the penalty area with glory.
So that's the bottom line.
But just when Park Ji-sung and Rafael couldn't make up their minds and didn't know what to do, Glory moved first.
His upper body suddenly shook, and the sole of his right foot pulled the ball to the left, making people think that he would make a move directly from the left.
Rafael was a little nervous, and he had even started to turn to the bottom line.
Park Ji-sung, who is more experienced, did not move.
Sure enough, just as the sole of Rongguang's right foot had just pulled the football around, his right foot slid down from the side of the football again, and then used the outside instep to flick the football to the right again!
Sure enough, it's a feint!
He's actually going to cut inside from the right side!
So Park Ji-sung quickly bullied forward, intending to block the route of Rongguang's internal breakthrough.
Glory kicked out with his left foot, moved laterally, took a stride, and buckled the football back with his right foot!
This time surprised Park Ji-sung, he was equal to a pounce!
The ball bounced to the left after being slammed by Glory, but Glory didn't let the ball roll towards Rafael's area, his left foot stretched forward and blocked the ball forward!
Football just got between Park Ji-sung and Rafael!
Deep-fried croquettes!
Followed by Rongguang's short body, he forcibly twisted his waist, and followed the football to drill between the two defenders!
The whole action was done in one go, very fast, so fast that Park Ji-sung didn't even have time to turn his head, he could only see the glory passing by him out of the corner of his eye, but he was completely powerless, he couldn't even stretch out his hand or leg to foul.
Raphael was even more unbearable, he even fell to the bottom line, and he didn't even shift his center of gravity......
※※※
"Sakae!! Nice break! He's off-limits! Once again, he crossed between Park and Raphael! ”
John Morteson shouted.
"This ball is so beautiful!" Alan Hansen also exclaimed.
Although Alan Hansen criticized people, he felt that he did not recognize his six relatives, and he was merciless. But in fact, his position is relatively fair, at least when you express it, he will praise you without hesitation.
However, City's attack did not become a threat because of this.
Because when Rongguang burst into the penalty area, he was already very close to the bottom line, and the angle of the shot was almost none, so Rongguang should still have to cross.
Manchester United have a heavy squad in the box, all concentrated in the middle.
There is only one person who comes up to defend Glory, and this person is not a central defender, the central defender has to guard in front of the goal, and the person who comes up to force Glory is another midfielder, Fletcher.
The Scottish phenom pressed up quickly, but he didn't appear directly in front of the glory. Instead, it was stuck on the inside line, and as for the front of the glory, it was left out.
Fletcher made the right choice, because right in front of the glory, there is goalkeeper Van der Sar, who is more convenient to defend with his hands than himself, so there are people to defend here. He is mainly wary of Glory cutting inside and then shooting, or crossing.
Now Glory's shooting angle is very small, and he can't shoot with his feet here, so if he wants to shoot, he must cut inside and pull the angle out first.
As long as you get stuck on the inside line, you'll be fine.
Fletcher thought to himself and stuck in his position.
When Ferguson saw this scene on the sidelines, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fletcher's reinforcements were quick and timely and did his job well.
In this way, City's attacking threat is much smaller.
But the breath in Ferguson's heart had not yet been completely loosened, and it froze in his throat again.
Because he saw the glory in the bottom line and suddenly got up!
The action was not obvious, but it was very decisive, he kicked the football, then he toe up, and the ball was not passed by him to the middle, but to the goal!
What did he think?!
