No. 118 Speak with a goal
At the same time as the football entered the net, the old Trafford stands resounded like a tsunami!
Jonker was like a happy child, he jumped and jumped under the stands of Manchester City Stadium, waving his arms, like a concert conductor, constantly beckoning the fans to applaud him, and under his baton, the whole stadium was ** on top of each other.
The fans at the scene responded with warm applause to Jonker, and they chanted "Jonk! Jonker! Jonker! ”
Everyone was shouting the name, in Manchester United's Theatre of Dreams, in Manchester's bars, big and small, most of the city was cheering for him.
Jonker is really excited, at Manchester United, he's really happy, it's from the heart, at least, he knows it's happier than he is with a big club like AC Milan.
Here, he is the king here!
The club's top brass supported him!
In the manager's tactics, Ferguson takes good care of him, and everyone is very kind!
The fans regard him as the king of the future!
His teammates are starting to trust him!
That's right, that's what you want! Jonker said to himself, it was a real feeling in his heart. He's enjoying the feeling and if he can lead Manchester United all the way to the top of Europe, then it will be the greatest dream!
He knew that this dream had always been there, and he knew what he wanted!
At the moment, listen to the cheers in the stands. Jonker's heart is so happy!
Commentator Eddie Gray made no secret of his affection for Jonker, exclaiming, "This is Jonker's goal in this stadium!" He got Manchester United fans excited! It was Jonker's third goal in the Premier League! Look, Manchester United fans are crazy. They had waited too long for such a superstar. The media have been questioning Jonker's ability before, and I would say, four league games, three goals, what do you have to question? ”
Eddie Gray is not a fan of Manchester United, in fact, in England. Except for Manchester, a large part of the population is pro-Manchester United, and Manchester United's support comes from all over the world, though. Now, there seems to be a trend that many fans are paying more attention to Manchester United because they are paying attention to Jonker. Especially in the Asian region. China, South Korea, Japan, the three most important Asian countries, the number of fans who support Manchester United is soaring, you know, in these three countries Manchester United fans are already a lot, and now they are increasing like a blowout, only Jonk can bring!
I like Manchester United because I like Jonker. Of course, there are many fans who don't like Jonker. But. Whoever it is, you can't help but admit it. Jonk is such a super goal-scoring star, the player who can bring joy to the fans of the team he plays! Those who love him are happy, and those who hate him are useless to grit their teeth!
The smile on Ferguson's face grew, and although the first half was not over, he could almost tell that the game had been won. What is needed now is to continue to increase the scoreline, and the most important thing for such a dominant team is the morale, as long as the United continue to score and win, they will be able to develop a winning belief that they will be able to overcome difficulties and obstacles and maintain excellent results.
Ferguson looked up at the clock, the first half was coming to an end, which made him a little regretful, and it would have been better if his team had been able to take advantage of that morale and score another goal.
The Manchester United manager's heart blossomed, and not far away, his colleague, Tottenham Hotspur manager Joel, was in the opposite mood, with an ugly face, angry and helpless at the outcome. If there is hope for Tottenham Hotspur at 0-1, then this conceded goal is too big a blow for Tottenham Hotspur.
Now, with the first half coming to an end, Kubishli knows that the most important thing for Tottenham Hotspur now is not to concede another goal in the first half.
He got up and walked to the sideline, whistled to get the attention of the players, and then made a gesture to get the players to pay attention to the defense and at the same time strengthen the scramble.
Manchester United will certainly continue to attack for a few minutes or so in the first half, and Tottenham Hotspur will most likely be scored again if they try to pull a goal back if they try to pull it back despite pressing out at this time.
In the next game, although Manchester United continued to attack and try to take advantage of the situation to expand the score, there was no good way to face Tottenham Hotspur's iron bucket defense.
At half-time, the score was still 2-0 and Manchester United led at home.
At half-time, Alex Ferguson praised the team's performance, and although the goal was the work of a few, the scoreline was the result of a concerted effort by the whole team. In particular, the fighting spirit and morale expressed by the whole team made Mark. Hughes was quite pleased.
Jonker sat in his place to rest, and after a first half, his red jersey was almost rubbed blue, and his face was stained with grass clippings, looking wolf-like, and throughout the first half, Jonk was brought down by his opponent at least seven or eight times. However, this situation is not unfamiliar, because for most of his fame, opponents have been disregarding him on the court. In the face of such a high-intensity defense, Jonker has rarely been injured since his debut, which is really thanks to his good physique.
While listening to Ferguson arranging the second half of the game, Jonk grinned at his teeth, his leg was covered with ice packs, which were caused by bruises, when he was in a tough confrontation with his opponent, although it was not a big problem, but it hurt.
Nani leaned over and gently touched his arm, "Jonker! He whispered.
Jonk glanced at him.
"Thank you." Nani said.
"Needless to say thank you, your running and passing are all good, otherwise it would be useless for me to run over." Jonker smiled, this still a little shy Portuguese brother, when he was on the field, he still seemed a little unconfident, and he only communicated with Jonker, who is also a national team, at halftime.
"Scoring at home...... How does it feel? Ferdinand leaned in. Ask Jonker.
"You can see for yourself." Ferdinand and Jonk are also old acquaintances, the two of them are 'old friends', and they are naturally not polite to speak. He replied triumphantly.
"You know I'm a defender. It's rare to score goals......" Ferdinand said with a sad face.
Don't look at this fierce and vicious looking man, Manchester United is the most talkative in the team, and now he is complaining in the team that his dream since childhood was to play as a striker, but when he entered the echelon, the coach only watched him play half the game. Say to him, 'Son, go play full-back.' That's for you......'" When I think about it, it is an eternal pain in Ferdinand's heart.
You know, Ferdinand's family has really produced strikers.
Jonker couldn't help but smile as he looked at Ferdinand's funny expression. In the Manchester United team. Jonk is 21 years old. Ferdinand is close to a 30-year-old veteran, but now it seems that who wants the veteran to know it, but on the field, Ferdinand is not so easy to get along with, and whoever meets this fierce man has to take it easy!
Nani listened from the sidelines, and became less shy, and covered her mouth and laughed.
'It's because you don't have the talent to play as a striker. Like me, I'm different. When I was very young, the academy coach who taught me to play was amazed that this kid was really good material for the striker......" Jonk was still babbling to himself when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
Nani almost didn't get out of breath when he heard it, in the Portuguese national team, who doesn't know that the Netherlands, where Jonk couldn't get along in Portugal, was still playing in the midfield midfield position, how did he become a youth talent striker when he got to this mouth!
A few people were still chatting happily, "Jonke, Jonker." "That's the voice of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.
Jonk stood up suddenly: "Huh? What please, coach, do you call me? This series of words was said like a machine gun, and he looked at everyone blankly.
Seeing that this genius who was talking and laughing just now became nervous like this after a while, and the locker room burst into laughter.
Jonk turned his head at this time to see that the head coach was not in the locker room, so how could he hear the head coach shouting at himself just now.
That's when he saw Evra smiling and Ferdinand sneaking around. Immediately understood, he pounced on Evra, "I knew it was you!" ”
"It's not me—" cried Evra, "it's not me, it's him who told me to scare you like this." ”
Then, the big black man with a sad and angry face looked at Jonker, and Ferdinand shrugged innocently, "Do you think I'm like that?" ”
Jonker's face was sad and indignant, and his expression was clearly saying, that is! It is! That's the kind of person you are!
Seeing these players playing there, everyone laughed again, the locker room has not been so relaxed and happy since the start of the league.
Jonker is very popular in the locker room now, because he never puts up a shelf in the locker room, and after getting acquainted, everyone likes to chat with him, and Jonk can also mingle with everyone and make harmless jokes or something.
And there are a lot of equally young players around him, and young players such as Nani are still very happy that Jonk is willing to joke with them and play around together, and with Jonk's current status and value in football, they are willing to play with them, which makes them happy.
Maybe Jonker himself didn't notice that he was now slowly managing his own 'power', slowly exerting his influence in the Manchester United dressing room, uniting some of the 'admirers' around him, plus those who trusted him, those who were willing to believe in him, one day, he would be the real banner of this team! Because, the flag is definitely not a matter of one sentence, and it is not that someone above has spoken, saying that so-and-so is the boss!
After fifteen minutes of half-time, the second half began.
Tottenham Hotspur showed their tactical intent and determination at the start of the second half, and that is: attack!
For Tottenham Hotspur, defending is no longer interesting, and with two goals down, the only way out for them is that maybe a fight will make the difference.
Because, Manchester United's backline can sometimes be short-circuited, which gives Tottenham some hope, and Joel was at half-time. Clarify the tactical intent to the whole team, attack!
At the start of the second half, the pressure was on Manchester United. He even made it clear to all the players of Tottenham Hotspur directly, this is a gambling attack, if you can score first in the second half and narrow the score gap, then there is still drama in this game, and once the Manchester United team seizes the opportunity, Manchester United will score another goal. Well, it's a fiasco.
Then he also asked the whole team, and the core of the team's midfield, Scott. Parker also stood up to speak on behalf of the team. After a big call, it can be summed up in one meaning, Tottenham Hotspur would rather die standing than live on their knees. Well. That's pretty much what it means.
So. As the second half began, Tottenham Hotspur began their tragic counter-attack.
'Tottenham Hotspur started the second half attacking Manchester United and they were fighting ......,' said Eddie Gray, 'and there was only one outcome, either they would win the gamble or there would be a real carnage for United, though. In my opinion, the latter is more likely. ”
If Tottenham Hotspur manager Joel hears this. It is estimated that the heart of strangled Eddie Gray is gone, this is Chiguoguo's black mouth.
A 2-0 lead, and a total control of the game throughout the first half, made United a little careless. In their eyes, Tottenham Hotspur no longer pose a threat to them, and it is difficult to keep their opponents in their hearts again.
Otherwise, Manchester United is sometimes a nervous team, and players with a big lead will always be a little relaxed, and it stands to reason that Manchester United with Alex Ferguson should be very mature and will not make such mistakes, but Manchester United sometimes come to this when they are not expected.
Tottenham Hotspur, who fought back frantically at the beginning of the second half, burst out with strong combat effectiveness in an instant, in fact, their attack has been good, in the first round of the league, Tottenham Hotspur faced Wigan Athletic at home, it was at the beginning of the second half when they fell behind 0-1, they scored two goals in ten minutes, and reversed the game 2-1.
Manchester United's absent-mindedness gives Tottenham a chance!
In the 53rd minute of the game, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Malbranck's long-range shot was blocked by Vidic with a calf and deflected off the line, and Tottenham Hotspur's corner kick.
Bair took a corner, Ferdinand was defeated by Tottenham Hotspur's high striker Berbatov when he was scrambling for a header, however, Berbatov's header was too positive and was subconsciously blocked by Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar, Evra headed the ball out of the box again, however, his clearance was not far enough, and was won by Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Hudstone, Hudstone passed the football to the side, Li Rongpyo hit the ball into the box again, this time, Tottenham Hotspur's tallest striker, Dimitar Berbatov, headed a beautiful header into the top left corner of the net, and Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was really helpless about it.
With 53 minutes played, Dimitar Berbatov's goal pulled a point back for Tottenham Hotspur.
The elated Manchester United fans fell silent in an instant, and in the huge Old Trafford stadium, Manchester United fans seemed to be stunned by Tottenham Hotspur's goal, and for a while, the whole stadium only heard the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the visiting fans' stands, celebrating the goal frantically. They didn't expect that in the first half of the game, Tottenham Hotspur, who had been beaten passively, was able to burst out with such combat effectiveness at the beginning of the second half and be able to score, and immediately applause rang out, and this goal also boosted the morale of Tottenham Hotspur fans and players.
They seem to see hope!
However, Tottenham Hotspur forgot about it, their strength was already inferior to Manchester United, and now they are pressing so frantically that they have exposed more and more loopholes, and once Manchester United seized the opportunity, then the goal will appear again.
Is there such a good player in the Manchester United team who is good at taking chances? The answer is obvious.
As the Tottenham Hotspur players celebrated their goals, Jonker clapped vigorously in front of him as he brought a couple of United players over for a short break.
"No one wants to lose the ball just now." Jonker began by saying, "Next, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely attack again. ”
"That's right." Nani chimed in.
The others nodded.
'So, going to be a bit more pressure at the back, but as long as we can take our chances, once we have the ball. Just attack quickly, and that's our chance. Jonk said.
"That's right." Giggs thought for a moment and said. "What we need to fight back is speed."
Several players on the three lines analyzed the situation at this time in a few words and made a decision. In fact, when a situation arises on the pitch, the players on the pitch are able to make changes according to the immediate situation, which is the maturity of a team. The key to whether you have the ability to fight tough battles.
Jonk led the team to a 'small meeting' first, and he really didn't think about it that much, he was just more responsible than ever. Moreover, when he was in Milan, once such a situation occurred, Pirlo would take the initiative to lead a small meeting. At this time. When Jonker was at Manchester United, he felt that he should do something, because, if Pirlo was the brain of Milan, Jonker felt that he was now the heart of Manchester United and had to take on the responsibility of 'heart'. He just did it subconsciously. However, it is precisely because of the subconscious action that it is cherished.
Just two minutes after Tottenham Hotspur scored.
Vidic managed to break the ball at the feet of Lee Young-pyo, and instead of wasting time, he directly played the long ball to Nani in front.
"Manchester United counter-attack quickly!"
When Nani stopped the ball, there were only three Tottenham Hotspur defenders in front of him. Manchester United's Jonker has come in to pick up, while Ryan Giggs has also come in the middle to help.
Tottenham Hotspur had to press hard in order to score again, and at this time, as Jonk and they just analyzed, this is when Manchester United have more opportunities to counter-attack, and in counter-attacking attacks, the most important thing is not possession, but speed.
Nani didn't stop long after receiving the ball, but passed it sideways. Giggs, who came to pick up the ball, distributed it to Patrice Evra, who was quick to cut in on the wing.
Tottenham Hotspur's right wing-back Lee Young-pyo rushed up to participate in the attack and was tackled by Nemanja Vidic, and Lee Young-pyo didn't have time to return to the defense.
Patrice Evra was not polite, and after receiving the ball, he cut directly into the penalty area!
Tottenham Hotspur's central defenders were defending Jonker, and they directly thought that Manchester United would pass the ball to Jonker, but unexpectedly, after Evra on the side received the ball, he was about to cut inside, which made the Tottenham defenders panic.
Patrice Evra rushed into the net and slammed his foot to shoot, but Gardner flew to block it, but the ball was passed sideways......
"Hell—" Roche checked the target, and the target of the pass was Jonk, and he rushed to intercept it.
Unexpectedly, Jonk did not stop the ball on the line of the ball, but directly pulled the ball and turned around, he didn't look at the goal and the goalkeeper, and volleyed directly!
The football flew straight to the goal, Tottenham Hotspur's goalkeeper Robinson didn't expect Jonker to shoot directly, he subconsciously flew to save, however, in the face of such a sudden shot, and the force is extremely strong, although the angle is not too tricky, but the speed is fast enough, no matter how powerful the goalkeeper is powerless at this time......
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!” Eddie. Gray, the Sky TV ace commentator, jumped out of his seat. A high-pitched GOAL sound comes out of your mouth!
Jonker's shot was too sudden, too decisive, at that time, many people thought that Jonk would seek to continue to break through after receiving the ball, or pass the ball to the other side of the temporarily unguarded Giggs, but who would have thought that he would directly pull the ball and turn around and volley! The football almost brushed the cheeks of Rocha, who came up to intercept, and a non-obvious fall, extremely fast, as if a white light flashed, and it went into the net!
The whole process was so sudden!
Whether it is Manchester United fans or Tottenham fans, and even the Manchester United players on the field, especially Nani, who is ready to answer Jonker's pass, is even more shocked at this time, everyone saw the trembling of the net, and then, when they heard the whistle of the goal, they realized that the goal was just like that!
How wonderful!
How suddenly!
That's what a goal was born!
Also surprised were Tottenham Hotspur manager Joel on the sidelines, as well as the Spurs players who were still desperately trying to defend on the pitch just now. At this moment, they are all stunned to look at their goal. There's a soccer ball spinning, rubbing against the net. (To be continued......)
