Chapter 745 Free Kick

In the locker room of the home team, Van Basten glanced at the Manchester City players with piercing eyes and said, "In the second half, we will attack."

Just a few words, but it made the entire locker room boil. In the first half, it was Van Basten's tactics to be cautious. In the middle, it was due to the atmosphere. Now, it is Van Basten who took the initiative to ask for an attack.

At the same time, in the locker room of the visiting team on the other side, Sir Alex also issued the same tactic. There were only 45 minutes left in the game, and Manchester United really had no chance if they did not attack.

Fifteen minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the players from both sides returned to the court. In terms of personnel, neither side has changed in any way, but this is normal. As long as there are no special circumstances, substitutions rarely occur during the intermission.

According to Van Basten's tactics, Manchester City took the lead in attacking. After receiving the pass, this wave of attack did not pass the No.2 Manchester City player. Li Feng started to attack with the ball in his own half.

And Manchester United did not expect that Manchester City would be so decisive. You must know that even if this game is a draw, Manchester City is completely acceptable and completely unnecessary.

But thinking about it, the Manchester United players immediately understood what Manchester City was thinking. Manchester City was obviously preparing to win the game and step on them directly.

This is definitely a humiliation for Manchester United players. Although Manchester City has performed very strongly this season, in the past few decades, the boss of Manchester has always been Manchester United, so facing Manchester City, Manchester United has always had a sense of superiority.

After Li Feng finished the first kick of the game, Manchester United also began to press on. The first kick came from Nani, and Scholes made a forward drive.

The subsequent corner kick Manchester City did not give Manchester United a chance. Kompany rose from the ground and cleared with a header. The ball landed at Li Feng's feet in the penalty area.

Manchester City's quick counterattack is also Manchester City's forte this season. After having Li Feng, Manchester City has performed very well no matter whether it is a positional battle or a counterattack.

With a long pass, the ball crossed the entire midfield, flew into the Manchester United half, and flew over Dzeko, but Dzeko was not unguarded, and Phil Jones was defending Dzeko.

So Dzeko didn't mean to let the ball fall. After occupying a favorable position, Dzeko jumped high and then headed back. The ball flew past Phil Jones' header and flew into Manchester United's penalty area.

"Aguero and Evra~~~No~~~De Gea, the goalkeeper of Manchester United attacked decisively, what Evra needs is to entangle Aguero." In the end, Aguero still did not touch the ball. Under Evra's entanglement, De Gea, who was attacked, took the lead to make a clearance.

"It's a pity. If Aguero throws Evra away, it will be a single-handed move, but there is no if in the game. At this moment, the ball has come to Manchester United's feet, and Manchester United will attack next."

However, Manchester United did not get any chances. In the second half, Lescott's performance improved. Rooney was very uncomfortable under Lescott's defense. He even passed the ball wide and sent it directly to Sabaletta.

"Oh~~~ Since the second half, the offense of both sides has never stopped. This rhythm is as fast as the first half, just like two games." The moment the commentator spoke, Manchester City attacked again. Clichy shot a long shot from the corner of the penalty area, which was stabbed out of the baseline by De Gea.

Although Manchester City took the corner kick and even completed the goal, it was far from the goal. In the end, it was only a goal kick for Manchester United.

The pace was fast and the offense was fierce. The fans were indeed excited, but on the sidelines, the head coaches of both sides couldn't help frowning, because from their point of view, such an offense was meaningless, because the most important point of offense was to score goals.

So ~~~ When the time passed No. 60 minutes, Ferguson took the lead in making adjustments. The young Welbeck came off the bench and replaced Scholes, who was starting to show signs of exhaustion.

After all, Jiangtou is a 37-year-old veteran, and he even stopped training for half a year. Facing such a fierce competition, he must not be able to keep up physically.

At the same time, when Welbeck came on the stage, on the Manchester United bench, the disappointment and loss on the face of the handsome Berbatov were palpable.

Four years ago, Berbatov switched from Tottenham to Manchester United at a price that broke Manchester United's transfer record. At that time, the handsome brother was so high-spirited. In four years, Berbatov changed from Ferguson's darling to today's outcast. At this moment, the cruelty of football is real and realistic.

For Berbatov, Manchester City fans have never had any good impressions, and even very disgusted, because in 08, Manchester City also chased Berbatov, and even paid a huge transfer fee of 3500 pounds, and Tottenham also agreed to Manchester City's offer.

But Berbatov directly rejected Manchester City without leaving a message, and said: "In Manchester, I only know Manchester United, and I only joined Manchester United." But in the current situation, I don't know if Berbatov will have a regret.

But no matter what Berbatov is, Manchester City at this moment has no time to pay attention to such a marginal figure. After all, for Manchester City, the most important thing now is to win this game.

After the substitution, Welbeck immediately created a chance for Manchester United and even sent a yellow card to Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure.

No. 603 minutes, Wayne Rooney and Welbeck launched a continuous collision into the wall in the hinterland of Manchester City. In order to prevent Manchester City from attacking, Yaya Toure finally chose to bring down the young Manchester United player. The referee unceremoniously took out a yellow card.

For the free kick, the veteran Giggs took the penalty this time. Compared with Scholes, Giggs' physical condition is much better. At present, Giggs's physical fitness is not a problem.

In the past, Manchester United never lacked free kick players. Whether it is Beckham or later Ronaldo, they are the top free kick masters in today's football.

But that was all in the past. Now Manchester United does not have such a free kick master. Let alone Rooney's free kick before. Although Giggs' penalty is better than Rooney, it is still not a threat.

On the contrary, Manchester City is different. Li Feng's free kick scoring rate is terrible, which also caused the sharp drop in the chance of Li Feng scoring directly from free kicks in the second half of the season, because Li Feng's free kicks are too scary.

There is even a comparison in the media that "Watching Li Feng kick a free kick is similar to other people kicking a penalty kick." Although this sentence is very exaggerated, it is also the best compliment to Li Feng's free kick ability.

No, after Manchester United's many free kicks were fruitless, Manchester City finally ushered in the first direct free kick in a good position in the game. Silva's lateral breakthrough was brought down, and Manchester City got a direct free kick outside the left penalty area.
