football's number one madman

Chapter 22 No reversal, not the Red Devil!

"Relax, it's no big deal."

On the coaching bench of the visiting team, Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal put his hands in his pockets and crossed his legs, looking calm and unhurried.

The assistant coach beside him, Ryan Giggs, had no choice but to resist the urge to get up and command, and stayed in his seat to watch the game.

While the two sides were preparing for a corner kick, Giggs looked through the player profiles of both sides.

New Wimbledon's central midfielders are generally mediocre in height, most of them are under 1.8 meters, and only two central defenders reach 1.8 meters.

Among Manchester United's starting 11 players, only Kagawa and Hernandez are under 1.8 meters. The height advantage is simply not too obvious!

Giggs glanced at Van Gaal and nodded thoughtfully:

[Such a simple question, why didn't I consider it? 】

[I am still too inexperienced, Van Gaal is worthy of being a world famous coach! 】

[There is nothing to worry about. 】

And then they saw the New Wimbledon player take the corner, the ball spun up, around the half-dozen players crammed at the near post, and went down at the far post...

A blue figure leaped high ahead of the Manchester United players, and as if it had been accurately calculated, faced the falling ball and gently hit the goal.

Then... Van Gaal and Giggs saw De Gea struggling to move, but helpless.

[Negative sentiment from David De Gea, +2! 】

2: 0!

Giggs almost jumped up from his seat, looking in astonishment at the home team players who were celebrating wildly.

Van Gaal was still much calmer than him, but he didn't know when he put away his raised Erlang legs.

[Ryan Giggs, +2! 】

[Louis van Gaal, +3! 】

"Beautiful header! Manchester United suffered continuous blows!"

Lineker raised his voice three degrees:

"Only 7 minutes into the game, Manchester United was scored twice by the opponent!"

Looking at the replay on the screen, Neville shook his head again and again:

"The focus of Manchester United's defense is all on the two tall central defenders, and almost everyone has not noticed the inconspicuous full-back!"

The "inconspicuous full-back" was trotting all the way to the corner flag area at the moment, and jumped directly on Rigg, the hero of the assist:

"Dude, it's so beautifully passed!"

Rieg hugged him vigorously, laughed loudly and boasted:

"I'm the Beckham of Wimbledon, isn't this kind of pass simple?"
-
Compared with the players on the field, the coaches on the sidelines seemed less excited.

Adlay grabbed Cox's arm:

"Brother, hurry up and help me, I feel a little dizzy!"

Cox is also a bit flabbergasted:
"I can't stand!"

With the support of the team doctor, the two barely sat back on their seats.

Adele forced himself to calm down, but his radiant eyes betrayed his mood:
"Tell the boys, we will defend and fight back!"

He glanced at his assistant:

"Go!"

Cox curled his lips and put his hands on his knees:
"I, my legs are weak, I can't get up!"
-
"Manchester United's corner kick defense was so amateurish!"

Zhan Jun, who was thousands of miles away, criticized unceremoniously:

"As long as they carefully review the opponent's previous games, they will never miss this point of Lee Polo!
The reason why New Wimbledon was able to appear in the second round of the League Cup was because Li Polo scored a header at the last moment to kill Milton Keynes! "

He was right to criticize, but as a commentator, he still moved towards a neutral position. After all, most of the people watching the game at this time were Manchester United fans:

"Missing two goals in 7 minutes, Manchester United should be fully awake now. Although they are in a rotation lineup, as long as they stop underestimating the enemy and go all out, the gap between the two goals is not irreversible!"
-
United were quick to seek change, as pundits expected.

Assistant coach Giggs immediately turned on the "hair dryer mode" and shouted from the sidelines:

"Cheer up! Attack, attack! Give me the fuck!"

After all, the new season has just started, and every player is looking forward to showing their best performance in front of the new coach. After a short period of frustration, they began to attack with all their strength.

Two goals behind is not terrible at all, Manchester United fans know a word:

"No reversal, not the Red Devils!"

Fans of Bayern Munich and Juventus know this very well!
Fans in the British Isles are also very clear that Manchester United has its own reversal attributes!
The game has just begun, and Manchester United still has a lot of time to complete the reversal!
-
In the face of Manchester United's fierce offensive, the players in New Wimbledon completed the change without the coach's advice.

The four defenders retreated as a whole, the four midfielders formed a second barrier at the front of the penalty area, and the two forwards became guerrilla knights, harassing and forcing Manchester United's midfield at any time, so that their ball holders would not be too comfortable .

But despite this, in the face of the speed impact of Welbeck and Hernandez, combined with Kagawa Shinji's interspersed movement, the League Two team still felt tremendous pressure.

In the 13th minute, Shinji Kagawa sent a sharp through ball. Welbeck threw off Phillips to form a single shot. Facing Xie A who abandoned the goal and blocked the goal, "Hei Bei" volleyed into the stands, wasting his first goal of the game. Two great opportunities.

Van Gaal finally looked better.

Giggs also nodded:

"That's right, even if it's a substitute lineup, our strength is completely above them!"

The home team gasped.

Cox frowned:
"Welbeck's speed is indeed too fast, it is very difficult for Mark to guard against him."

Adrey sees further than his assistant:

"The through ball from Japan's attacking midfielder is the key! If he can't limit his performance, such dangerous situations will appear again and again!"

Cox nodded:
"I will ask the midfielder to take extra care of him!"

He gritted his teeth and said "take care" with extra force.

Within a few minutes, Shinji Kagawa felt the enthusiasm from the players of the home team. He had just received a through pass from the backcourt with his back. Before he could turn around, he was kicked on the ankle by Boorman and immediately lost the ball. .

"referee!"

Kagawa limped and looked around, trying to appeal to the referee, but the referee took three steps back without any response, not giving him a chance to speak.

Giggs on the sidelines was not happy, and he complained when he found the fourth official, but unfortunately the latter was also indifferent:
"It was just a normal foul."

Manchester United won a free kick in the frontcourt, but the free kick was more than 30 meters away from the goal, and there was no possibility of a direct shot at all. Wimbledon only had two forwards, Akinfenwa and Dubis, symbolically lined up. Walls, and even the opponent's line of sight are difficult to block.

Nicholas Powell didn't think too much, and directly sent a pick to the penalty area, but he obviously underestimated the strength of the home team's goalkeeper. Xie A jumped high before a group of defenders and hugged the ball firmly.

"Counterattack!"

After landing, Xie A threw the ball forward without any hesitation, and accurately found the two forwards who acted as a human wall.

Akinfenwa perfectly suppressed Evans who wanted to fight, and threw the ball to his striker partner Dubis. Into Manchester United's half!

The atmosphere of the stadium was suddenly pushed to a climax!

Manchester United's defense failed to stop Dubis in the first place, and the three defenders could only pursue wildly while pinning their hopes on the final goalkeeper.

De Gea deserves to be the second most expensive goalkeeper in football. Watching Dubis cross the center circle alone, he did not leave his field easily, but stayed calmly in the small penalty area.

The most important thing to deal with a one-handed ball is the momentum. After Dubis ran for nearly 50 meters, it was difficult to maintain the initial rhythm, but he couldn't adjust his pace under the situation of the defender chasing wildly, so he could only kick in a hurry !

The 24-year-old De Gea was at his peak. Known for his reaction and sense of position, he made the most precise save, holding the football firmly in his arms, and did not give Dubis any chance.

"Hey!"

Adele waved his hand regretfully, and the dream of a three-goal lead was shattered.

There is no way, this counterattack is too fast, only two strikers are at the top of Wimbledon, and with Akinfenwa's speed, it is impossible to form effective support for Dubis, Dubis can only Choose to go it alone.

Dubis, whose legs were weak, shook his head, watching De Gea's big feet moving forward, he could only take a deep breath.

The ball crossed more than half of the pitch and found the core of Manchester United's offense in this game-Shinji Kagawa!
While looking up at the flight path of the ball, Kagawa retreated with his back to the home team's goal. When he was about to reach the landing point, he felt that he had hit a wall.

Li Poluo, guarding the right flank, arrived at the landing point one step earlier than him.

Looking at the pass that was about to fly overhead, Kagawa could only lean on his opponent and forcefully take off!
But... the moment he was about to leave the ground and fly into the air, Li Poluo took a step back!
Losing support, Kagawa Shinji failed to reach the height he wanted, but fell heavily to the ground!
De Gea's long ball failed to pose any threat, and instead flew straight out of the touchline, giving Wimbledon's players a chance to breathe.

Adrey clearly saw the action just now, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up:
"This little guy... is defending with his brain!"

Cox was about to agree, but saw Kagawa lying on the ground slowly raised his right hand.

The core of Manchester United twisted his ankle when he landed, and he couldn't hold on!
