Chapter 884: Foul Tactics

The showdown between Glory and Manchester United is indeed the focus of everyone's attention.

It has even surpassed the contest between Manchester City and Manchester United.

In the last game, Ferguson used tactics to compress Glory on the flanks in an attempt to reduce Glory's threat, and Glory answered Ferguson with two goals and an assist.

It was clear that this tactic had failed and it was unlikely that Ferguson would continue to use it in the FA Cup final, so what would he come up with?

The answer was revealed in the FA Cup final.

There was a huge boo in the new 90,000-capacity Wembley Stadium.

The boos were made by Manchester City fans, who make up more than half of the 90,000 people.

They are booing Manchester United players.

But the booed Manchester United player is not the Cristiano Ronaldo who makes Manchester City fans hate, but the defender Park Ji-sung.

The South Koreans had just brought down Glory in the game, when Glory was just over the halfway line when he was knocked to the ground by Park Ji-sung, the ball was naturally lost, and the game was interrupted.

If only this foul was fine, Manchester City fans would not have such a big temper, after all, if there was no foul in a game, it would not be possible.

The reason why Manchester City fans are so unhappy is that after the start of this game, Manchester United was like a foul on Rong.

They don't even wait for Glory to bring the ball to the edge of their penalty area before committing a foul, but in midfield, near the halfway line, if they can foul it.

Their foul moves weren't particularly brutal either.

Sometimes it's just a tug at the most critical moment, or a squeeze.

Although none of the movements were very big, they were able to effectively interrupt City's attack.

And the foul wasn't just against Glory alone, it was against the whole of Manchester City.

In midfield and up front, Manchester United's players will actively use foul tactics, as long as they never allow Manchester City's side to pass the football to the front court easily.

That's what Manchester City fans are unhappy about, and in their opinion, United came to play in stoppage time.

The game lasted ten minutes, but it never went smoothly.

Most of the time, it's on and off.

The game starts, then Manchester United fouls, the referee's whistle blows, the game is interrupted, the game resumes, another foul, another whistle blows...... Anyway, the cycle goes on and on......

This kind of competition is simply uncomfortable to watch.

While the Manchester City fans in the stands were expressing their displeasure, they were also booing the guò to put pressure on the United players not to keep playing like that.

The television camera showed Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson's face.

His face was expressionless, chewing gum in his mouth.

Obviously, when the fouls are concentrated, it is certainly not the actions of a few players themselves, but the tactical requirements of the team.

“…… So that's Ferguson's unspeakable tactic...... To be honest, there is really no comment, and it is a bit ...... for Ferguson to say this tactic Shame. Alan Hansen complained.

For the legend of English football Alex Ferguson, he was also unceremoniously complained.

"But Alain, you have to admit that this may be the only effective way to deal with Rong." John Mortensen said.

He is a commentator, and he still has to maintain a fair and objective appearance, and cannot be as capricious as a commentator.

Alan Hansen shrugged and didn't speak.

He admits Mortenson was right, but that doesn't mean he endorses Ferguson's approach.

Although it now seems that the United players still have the control of fouls.

But it's a Manchester derby, and it's also an FA Cup final. It is absolutely impossible for these two teams to get together without the smell of gunpowder, and the two sides are natural rivals.

Then Ferguson's foul tactics are actually opportunities to constantly create friction in the game, so that the anger of the players on both sides accumulates, and in the end, the devil knows what will become.

A player like Rongguang, world football should be well protected, look at his appearance, it's really fascinating, if such a player falls because of injury, it is not a loss for the Premier League, but a loss for the entire world football!

Alan Hansen feared that Ferguson's foul tactics would cause another surprise to the glory.

This is a very dangerous practice.

※※※

Glory has already seen what Manchester United's tactics are for this game.

He thought of Benitez's pre-match advice to him.

It seems to be true...... Manchester United really spared no expense and chose any means for the victory of this game......

Manchester United's foul tactics did make him a little uncomfortable because he couldn't play well.

But that doesn't mean he's dead.

The first question now is how to get closer to some of the United goals.

The United players are smart and they all foul away from goal, where fouls are least likely to be carded and pose the least threat to goal.

Since Manchester United's foul tactics cannot be stopped and cannot be changed, then he must first force Manchester United to foul closer to their goal.

At the very least, they can threaten Manchester United's goal with free-kicks......

Thinking of this, he found his team-mate Hamann, who was in charge of the free-kick in midfield: "Don't kick the ball directly into the box later, Dietmar. ”

Hamann had really intended to send the ball directly to the opposing goal, as he found that this was the only way to get the ball closest to the Manchester City goal.

"Why, Rong?"

He asked.

'It's hard for us to get the ball and it doesn't make sense. You pass me the football. Rong Guang said.

"Yes...... The other party's foul ......" Harman didn't finish, but he knew that Glory had understood.

Glory shook his head, "Don't worry, no problem, Dietmar. ”

Harman didn't know exactly what Glory was going to do, but since Glory said so...... Trust him, he has proven countless times this season that he lives up to the trust of his team-mates. Since he said it's okay, it's okay.

So he nodded, "Okay." You go to the front, I promise to pass the football to you......"

But Rongguang shook his head again: "No, I'm right next to you, and when the time comes, you will put the football like this...... Just pass it to me......" he gestured.

Harman glanced at Glory, but finally nodded. He believes in glory, so give him the football and see what he does.

So when the Manchester United players shrank back and were ready to set up heavy troops near the penalty area to fight for the header, everyone was surprised to see that Glory was standing not far from Hamann, forming a triangle with Hamann and football.

As a striker, he didn't run near the penalty area, and with his bounce and header skills, he should be here to fight for the top......

What was he doing next to Haman? Does he still want to shoot straight at goal here?

Don't be funny, that's the middle circle!

How could he have expected himself to score with a direct shot from the centre circle?

But looking at his position, it really looks like he wants to kick a free kick......

So should we go up and line up the personal wall or something?

Because the distance was so far, the Manchester United players didn't even think about lining up the wall in the midfield.

At this moment, the referee's whistle sounded.

Hamann began to run towards the football.

At the same time, Glory also started suddenly, but he didn't run to the football, he ran diagonally in the other direction!

Hamann ran in front of the ball in two steps, but instead of kicking it into the box, he kicked it directly to the glory of the side.

When Rongguang received the ball, Manchester United's players woke up like a dream, and Manchester City wanted Rongguang to take the ball and attack!

So they didn't continue to hold the forbidden area, they all rushed out in a swarm, and some of them rushed directly to glory.

They weren't worried that Glory would pass the ball straight into the box behind them, and even if a City player received the ball, it would definitely be offside......

That's why when a corner kick is cleared, the defenders rush out with the football, just to create an offside position.

Wayne Rooney was the first to rush to glory because he was an attacking player and didn't get back into the box just now.

He didn't think about defending Glory here, but ran straight into Glory - it's a foul!

He wants to knock Glory away when he has just received the ball and is still unsteady.

But Glory stopped abruptly when he was about to receive the football, let the football pass in front of him, and then Rooney hit him headfirst, but was dodged by Glory!

Next, Glory restarts the acceleration and chases the football again!

The second Manchester United player, Ryan Giggs, caught up and he came straight to a flying tackle!

He almost tackled the ball, if it hadn't been for Glory's first stabbing of the ball out......

But he didn't kick the ball, but he played to glory.

He made Glory stumble!

The referee's whistle was in his mouth, and it looked like it was about to blow.

But when Rongguang was about to fall to the ground, he supported his body with both hands and continued to run forward! Although he stumbled, he didn't fall, he was still chasing the ball!

After the referee saw this scene, the whistle did not blow.

So Rong Guang ran forward with his hands and feet, and finally regained his balance...... Park Ji-sung came up and hit him again from the side!

Because he had tripped over Giggs before, Glory had no strength to dodge, and he was knocked into a solid ......

He fell directly to the ground, and the football he had just caught up with was naturally lost......

Just as he fell to the ground, he heard the referee's whistle blow.

He rolled around on the ground, lying on the turf, and the first thing he did was look up to see where he was.

At a glance, he saw a white line about two or three meters in front of him......

That's the white line of the Grand Exclusion Zone.

It was a little over twenty metres from the United goal and was already within range of his free-kick!

So lying on the ground, he clasped his hands together: it is finished!
