873 Meaningless?

While Benitez stood on the sidelines with some anxiety and Ferguson sitting in the dugout, chewing gum leisurely, his attention now focused on attack, his eyes more on Cristiano Ronaldo.

After carefully observing the thirty minutes of the game, he was convinced that Glory had been bound by his tactics and could hardly pose any threat.

Despite this, the defense of Rongguang still can't be relaxed, as long as Rongguang has any idea of wanting to come to the middle, he will be severely attacked, forcing him to only move on the side, and don't think about crossing the thunder pool for half a step.

He turned his attention to Cristiano Ronaldo, who was struggling to score a second goal.

He was very active up front and put a lot of pressure on City's backline.

City's goal was in jeopardy with him and Carlos Tevez and Klose in turn, and it looked like they could concede another goal at any moment.

The cheers from the stands at Old Trafford were almost incessant, and the United fans were desperately cheering for their team to score another goal.

And under this pressure from Manchester United, it is difficult for Manchester City's attack to threaten Manchester United's goal.

With Manchester United outright in the upper hand, City's attack struggled to even get through midfield as it used to.

So when City got the ball, they had to go through the midfield in some simple and brutal way.

Playing defensive counter-attacks?

Don't even think about it.

Manchester United's defenders defended quickly and pressed very fiercely in midfield, so that Manchester City's players could not organize a counterattack in the first place after receiving the ball.

It was not easy to be able to play to the front, and it was also the layers of defense that Manchester United had laid out.

Glory was pressed to the side again.

This offensive is a case in point.

When Manchester City wanted to organise their attack, they were frantically pressed by Manchester United players at the back and in midfield, and they managed to get through the midfield, and by the time they reached the front, the United players had already set up a defence near their penalty area.

Manchester City have to play a positional battle with Manchester United, but that's really not what City are good at. Not to mention that the glory is more than forced to the side......

When the football fell to Sun Hai's feet, he really didn't know how to pass, because this was his third catch in this attack, and the football was going back and forth in front of the Manchester United penalty area, but it couldn't create a threat, what was the point of such a pass?

Sun Hai wanted to pass directly into the penalty area, but Berbatov was not good at heading points.

Not to mention Robinho, who focused on his activities on the wing, let him go to the penalty area, and fight with Leo Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, and he was sure to lose.

Sun Hai held the ball, and the Manchester United players didn't come up to force him, anyway, he couldn't create any threat on the side, mainly to defend the middle, and he must not divide the troops to defend the side because the Manchester City players picked it up on the side, in that case, the middle will be empty, and it will give glory a chance.

So Sun Hai can control the ball at his feet and then observe it carefully.

He found that United's two wings were really empty compared to the middle.

On the right side where Glory is located, there is only one Evra, but he is still in the penalty area and does not follow Glory.

Sun Hai thought about it and decided to pass the football over. But he doesn't plan to pass the football through a short pass horizontally, but directly with a long diagonal pass!

When Sun Hai thought of this, he directly started to pass the long pass!

But as soon as he got up, he knew it was bad, because it was clearly a big one......

Football doesn't fly towards glory, but straight to the bottom line!

This ball will be kicked directly out of the bottom line by him!

"Oops, Sun! He didn't pass the ball well...... "Mortensen said.

"This is clearly nonsense! Manchester City don't have a good way to attack right now, so they can only play blindly like this. "Alain Hansen's criticism is unceremonious." What's the point of this kind of ball even if it is passed to Sakae's feet? Not to mention that no one can keep up with football now......"

As he was talking, Alan Hansen saw Rongguang running towards the bottom line at high speed and chasing the football kicked by Sun Hai!

Looking at the speed of Glory, Alan Hansen suddenly remembered how fast Glory was.

If this ball is to be replaced by someone else, it may not be able to catch up, but if it is glory...... Then you really can't catch up!

So he quickly changed his words: "Even if Rong can catch up with this ball, it doesn't make much sense, looking at the speed and height of this ball, it is very difficult for Rong to stop the football, let alone the follow-up actions...... And what about receiving a soccer ball close to the baseline? ”

※※※

There are a lot of people who think the same way as Alan Hansen, and at the speed of glory, he can catch up with football, but what's the point?

He's just catching up with football, not quality possession at all. Such a chase is worthless except to show off that he is fast.

Even...... It shouldn't be chased at all, it's just a waste of body.

Even the players of Manchester United didn't take this too seriously.

But their work ethic still allowed them to continue to defend in the game, but the defensive concentration was significantly less than before......

Dimitar Berbatov didn't plan to go in front of the goal, but when he saw that Rong Guang was still relentlessly rushing to the bottom line to chase the ball, a thought came to his mind: Let's go and pick it up, what if Rong passed the football over?

With that, he ran towards the United goal-front area.

※※※

After Sun Hai passed the ball, he made an apologetic gesture to Rongguang.

But he quickly put his hand down, because Glory didn't even glance at him, and he was chasing the football with all his might. Where can I look at my own apologies?

The glory was like a sky-blue meteor, streaking across the green turf of Old Trafford and chasing the ball as it flew through the air towards the baseline.

Sun Hai was stunned.

※※※

Although the speed of Glory was fast and the momentum of chasing the football was also amazing, Ferguson sat in the dugout, did not even lift his butt, and chewed gum in his mouth as slowly as before.

He doesn't think City's attack will pose the slightest threat to United's goal.

In the blink of an eye, the glory has almost rushed to the bottom line. The ball also fell from the sky, but still flew towards the billboard outside the baseline.

It is the stands where Manchester United fans gather, the traditional football stadium in England, and the stands are very close to the stadium, just separated by a billboard.

For these Manchester United fans, Glory is not chasing the ball, but more like running towards them.

They let out all sorts of roars at Glory, and they desperately made gestures to put pressure on Glory, hoping to interfere with him.

They kept making the gesture of "this road is not going to work", shouting to Rongguang: "You can't catch up!" You can't catch up! "Even if you catch it, it's useless, give up! Don't waste your efforts! ”

Others simply gave Glory a middle finger.

This international gesture can be understood by anyone.

But Glory didn't look at them at all, and the interference that those Manchester United fans had worked so hard to do was no different from air in Glory's eyes.

As he was about to reach the baseline, Glory slowed down because he ran in front of the football without slowing down...... It's not the first time that Glory has done this kind of thing.

He slowed down and then turned his head to look at the exclusion zone.

Manchester United's goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar took note of the detail. When Rongguang chased football, he thought that Rongguang would choose to cross. Because in this case, it is the only option for him to kick the football directly in front of the goal after catching up with the football, as for whether the pass is accurate, it is not for him to consider, anyway, as long as he can send the football back to the goal, Glory will be considered to have completed the task.

Now Rongguang turned his head to look at the action in the penalty area, which confirmed Van der Sar's speculation about Rongguang's choice.

Then what you have to guard against is the glorious cross......

It would be best if they could take the ball out of the air as soon as it flew in front of goal and put an end to City's attack.

Thinking of this, Van der Sar moved two more steps out of the goal, allowing himself to better control the area in front of the goal and prepare for intercepting crosses.

He also glanced in front of the door and saw Berbatov.

Manchester City's centre-forward is also pushing forward. Sure enough, it's a cross from the side and a routine of grabbing points in the middle!

※※※

Berbatov also saw this action of Glory turning his head, and sure enough, Glory was going to cross!

Then you have to be ready to grab points!

So he sped up and rushed to the goal, intending to head the ball!

Although his header is not what he is best at, it is not impossible to even score a goal with his head......

※※※

Everyone thought Glory was going to be crossed, but they all guessed wrong.

When Rongguang decided to turn his head, he really wanted to cross.

Because it's really just the only option.

But when he turned his head to see what was going on in front of the United goal, he noticed that Van der Sar was standing very far away, trying to intercept his cross. But then there is a lot of space between him and the goal......

When he saw this, Rong Guang suddenly thought - what if I kicked the football directly at the goal?

Although the angle is small, if you let the ball have an arc, it will not be able to fly directly into the goal in the near future?

Thinking of this, Glory changed his mind.

If you don't cross it, shoot straight at goal!

He stepped on the turf with his left foot, kicked hard, and the whole person jumped, and at the same time twisted his waist and drove his right leg to kick the football!

So far, in the eyes of outsiders, it has been a non-stop ball and a direct cross.

But when Glory's feet came into contact with football, it was different.

Glory's right foot straightened, and the outside instep slammed into the left middle and lower part of the football.

Go ahead!

As for whether football can really fly into the goal next, it is not something that Glory can control. It takes a lot of luck to score a goal with a shot like this, but he didn't seem particularly lucky today?

But Glory has already done what he can.

After kicking, he flew straight out of the bottom line and didn't stop until he hit the billboard.

The Manchester United fans behind the billboard yelled at him when he bumped into him: "Don't work in vain! That's pointless! ”

"In vain, in vain!"

Glory didn't even look at them, his head still twisted, his eyes following the soccer ball he kicked out.

He saw that the ball was flying towards the line of the small penalty area at the beginning, which was the area where Berbatov was located.

Didn't it work out?
