Chapter 203: One to One
Beep!
With the referee Martin? A whistle blew from Atkinson and Carvajal tackled a foul on a one-on-one defence by Nani down the right and the whole Wembley stadium exploded again.
'At the start of the second half, Southampton were noticeably more aggressive, and they were noticeably more aggressive and desperate on some of the contestable chances!
After seeing the referee blow the whistle, the TV commentator commented on the trend of the second half.
Martin? Atkinson called Carvajal over.
"It's time to dig out the cards!"
There was an uproar in the stands, with cheers and boos.
Obviously, Manchester United fans feel that this card is well given, but Southampton fans feel that this action will not be a card.
'The referee was a warning to the Southampton players that Carvajal's appearance was still very good, the defense against Nani was in place, and the Portuguese winger barely made a breakthrough from his side.
Sure enough, Atkinson held a yellow card high above Carvajal.
'In the 53rd minute of the second half, Southampton also received their fourth yellow card of the game and the third for the Saints when they were one goal behind, and the other was given to Manchester United's Michael Carrick.
'Now Carvajal has to be careful, Manchester United are clearly targeting the left, he's got a yellow card again, so you have to put some action in it.'
The words of the TV commentator only appeared in the live TV broadcast, but at the scene, everyone could only hear the voices of the fans.
In the royal box, Abramovich immediately laughed when he saw Atkinson pull out his cards.
"It's a pity, I just gave a yellow card, according to me, I should have given a red card!"
Continuing to play the same way the two teams played in the second half, Southampton didn't see much hope at all.
At best, Southampton fought harder and grabbed harder.
But the question is, this can only be a war of attrition, what effect can it achieve?
Yang Huan couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, he didn't want to see Abramovich's triumphant posture after winning.
At this time, sitting on the bench in Southampton, Spanish midfielder Isco walked out and ran briskly to warm up, which attracted the attention of Yang Huan in the stands.
Is this going to be a substitute? Or is it just an ordinary warm-up?
Generally, the players on the bench will take the initiative to warm up every once in a while to ensure that their bodies can adapt to the rhythm of the court.
"It's almost time!" Wilkinson said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Prince William turned his head and asked.
As the game progressed so far, everyone in the royal box was attracted to attention.
The most important thing is because of Yang Huan and Abramovich's big gamble.
Eight-figure pound gambling, it's no joke.
'The combination of Paul Scholes and Carrick can't afford a war of attrition, they don't have enough area coverage, and Bielsa further pressed and pressed in the second half, playing a war of attrition with the aim of making substitutions.
Such an explanation is not unreasonable.
After all, even if there are substitutions now, there are still more than 30 minutes left in the game, and there is still a lot of time left for Southampton.
With just one goal, the game went into extra-time, with Southampton's players being younger and having a certain physical advantage.
"Who do you think will be replaced?" Prince William asked.
"Vidal!" Wilkinson is speculative, but confident.
Replace Vidal with Isco and let Isco and Adam? Lallana's two delicate players, along with Stroman behind him, resolutely continued to strengthen his attacking and passing ability.
In a way, Isco's play can alleviate Adam? The pressure on Lallana.
Yang Huan shook his head, "I don't think so." ”
"Why?" Instead, it was Wilkinson who asked.
Yang Huan smiled and said, "I don't know, a feeling." ”
At this moment, Isco, who was warming up on the sidelines, immediately returned to the side of head coach Bielsa after a lap.
Bielsa, who was crouching on the ground, stood up, pointed to the pitch, and instructed Isco something.
Soon, the fourth official on the sidelines raised the number plate.
Isco replaces captain Adam? Lallana!
"For Adam? Lallana? Wilkinson was visibly confused by the substitution.
Adam? Lallana is very dangerous to take the ball and play the ball at the edge of the box, why did he change it?
And his performance in this game is not bad, at least a little better than Vidal.
However, as soon as the Saints captain saw the number plate, he immediately walked up to Ibrahimovic, handed him the captain's armband, and said another word to him to lead his teammates to cheer him on, and then ran to the sideline to hug Isco and leave the field.
Isco came on the field, but he didn't go forward, and appeared in Adam? Lallana walked to the midfield instead of the midfielder, came to Vidal, and said something to the Chilean midfielder.
In the end, it turned out to be Vidal who stepped forward and appeared in a more advanced midfield, almost a forward position.
Putting Isco, who is more technical, dribbling and passing, is dragging him back and pushing Vidal forward?
"I can't read it, I really can't understand it!" Wilkinson shook his head.
Bielsa had a risky hand, especially with Vidal, who had a poor performance in this game.
The bet was won, and everyone said it was a clever move.
But if he loses the bet, everyone will say that he is nepotistic.
"Is he planning to use Vidal to further deplete Scholes and Carrick? Like Rooney's harassment of Stroman in the first half? Wilkinson guessed with a frown.
However, what exactly Vidal is useful for has not yet been revealed, and Isco, who came on as a substitute, won a chance to show his face instead.
'Southampton counter-attacked after the break, Stroman passed to Oxlade-Chamberlain.'
'Oxlade-Chamberlain pulled in the middle to receive the ball and tried to break through, but Scholes got stuck.
Seeing that he could not pass and break through, Chamberlain immediately turned around and turned his back to Scholes to protect the ball.
Seeing Isco cut in from behind on the right flank, Oxlade-Chamberlain immediately passed the ball over.
"Isco, facing Evra, with Nani behind him, comes out with a kick ......"
“…… Strike! Pick again! Picked up Evra......"
After two players caught the ball, Isco picked off Evra and immediately turned around to keep Evra at bay.
"Stop your chest, be pretty, and pick ...... again Picked behind Evra......"
"It's over, it's wonderful, Isco!"
As soon as the diminutive Isco saw the ball past Evra, he immediately turned and chased after him.
Evra wanted to turn around, too, but was a beat too late.
Isco got the ball before everyone else, a trip!
"It's over, it's over!"
The whole picture is aimed at Isco!
No one expected that although the youngster was in the back, he suddenly stepped forward, and he inserted it so resolutely and decisively.
What's more, he managed to break through in the face of two players in an extremely tight area on the flanks.
What will he do next?
Countless fans looked at him nervously, and even many fans in the stands were so excited that they couldn't help but stand up.
“…… Cross......"
The ball crossed an arc and fell into the box.
Vidal rushed up from outside the penalty area and leaped high to meet the ball.
But the tall Vidic suddenly appeared, and before he did, he headed the cross out of the box.
There was a roar from the whole Wembley stadium, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
There are also lamentations from Southampton fans.
Who would have thought that the Spaniard would threaten with his first touch of the ball as soon as he came on the pitch?
"Isco, this player has a fine technique on his feet, but a bit of a sticky ball."
Wilkinson felt that Isco was one of those players who was very eye-catching.
But if the ball just now had been passed a little earlier, pressed lower and faster, the ball would have basically been there!
"Putting Vidal at the edge of the penalty area also seems to be about using his ability to score from behind."
Although the threat posed by the first touch of the ball failed to score, Isco was becoming more and more active.
A little over a minute later, he had another chance to win the ball in the centre circle.
Vidal dropped back to defend and broke the ball and passed to Stroman, who touched the ball to Isco.
Isco stops, turns, and starts in one go.
After carrying forward for a while, suddenly a through ball with his right foot.
The ball passes between Vidic and Evra.
Right winger Oxlade-Chamberlain started quickly, drummed his fastest and cut straight behind Evra.
In the middle, Ibrahimovic also rushed forward, ready to meet Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Evra and Chamberlain fought the wing, but as soon as it started, Chamberlain's degree was beyond Evra's expectations.
In the end, the English youngster has Jamaican blood, and when he sprints, he can't stop it.
Evra couldn't even get to foul him.
Just watched Chamberlain rush forward, stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and adjusted quickly.
By this time, Ibrahimovic had already rushed into the penalty area.
There were only a few tenths of a second for Chamberlain to react.
The England youngster raised his head and in the penalty area, Ibrahimovic was flanked by Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand.
Now it's hard to have a chance.
Chamberlain chose to bring it himself!
The England youngster was bold enough and fierce enough to dribble directly into the penalty area.
Scholes and Evra both retreated, and the two had a tacit understanding of wanting to catch Chamberlain one after the other.
It's going to be passed on!
It's going to be passed on!
If you don't pass it on, it's gone!
Everyone at the scene had such a thought.
Chamberlain also knew that it was going to be passed on, but the question was, to whom?
Just when he was at a loss, a red figure swept from the corner of his left eye, and then a person's voice came, "Give it to me!" ”
Who the hell is this person?
He didn't know.
The only thing that is certain is that this voice is quite familiar, and it is my own person.
So, he passed it on!
Just as Scholes and Evra were about to complete the pack, Oxlade-Chamberlain passed the ball past Scholes.
After passing it, he raised his head and looked forward.
"Vidal !!!!!"
Vidal, who had just completed a break at the back, had already rushed into Manchester United's penalty area at this time!
I saw Vidal rushing up, facing Oxlade-Chamberlain's pass, and with every step, he stepped very steadily and very heavily.
Because each step will be related to the series of actions that follow him.
The left foot meets the incoming ball on the right side and the ball bounces to the right.
Vidal quickly changed his center of gravity, his left foot steady, and his right foot lifted.
At this point, the ball was within range of his right-footed volley.
Without the slightest hesitation, he faced the ball and fired a powerful volley with his right foot!
The ball swept like a cannonball over Vidic's long outstretched right leg.
Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar made a flying save to get the ball out.
But the ball went from his outstretched long arm and the goal post with great speed, into the goal line, and hit the net.
Vidal was stunned!
The Southampton players were stunned!
Everyone at the scene was stunned!
This goal, that's it?
Yes, the ball, that's it!
Referee Martin? Atkinson's whistle for the goal sent a frantic cheer to the dead silence of Wembley Stadium.
All the Southampton fans only reacted at this time, and shouted hoarsely.
All the Southampton players rushed up in droves, hugging Vidal and surrounding him in the middle.
1-1, Southampton tied the score!
