super football star

Chapter 891
On the coach's bench, Martin Jol's face was extremely ugly. If such a score can be maintained at the end of the first half, maybe Fulham still have a chance to win this game, but now, the result is hard to predict.

On the other side, Van Basten couldn't help raising his arms and shouting, recovering a goal in the first half, which undoubtedly relieved the pressure on Manchester City in the second half.

Although Van Basten has absolute confidence in his disciples, in football games, confidence is not enough. Even a powerful opponent may still capsize in the gutter. This has been experienced enough by Van Basten since he was a player.

As for the equalizer, it's not that Van Basten has never thought about it, but he also knows that this possibility is not great, even if Manchester City's game restarts and takes advantage of Ruhong's momentum to launch a mad attack again.

But in contrast, Fulham also retreated further, and the word "bus in front of the door" kept ringing in the mouths of commentators from various countries in the following time.

However, no matter how many commentators and fans talk about, it will not have any impact on the game. The real decision is made by the players on both sides and the head coach on the sidelines.

Good-looking and ugly, it is a luxury choice for weak teams, and points are the most practical thing. Of course, there are also some paranoid coaches, such as Wigan Athletic coach Martinez.

In the end, the score was maintained until halftime. Although Manchester City continued to attack violently, it was a pity that they still failed to score again. Under Fulham's super-intensive defense, Manchester City's chance striker did not get any good chances.

Back in the locker room, Van Basten took the lead in apologizing for his lack of pre-match arrangements. He did not expect that Fulham's opening tactics were a problem with their coaching staff and him as the head coach.

However, conceding two goals in a row is a problem for the players on the field. It is understandable to concede both goals. It is a sneak attack by the opponent's tactics, but the second conceded goal is somewhat inappropriate.

While admitting his mistakes, he also pointed out the mistakes of the players. Van Basten's move convinced the players. Since they were wrong, they must be corrected.

"In the second half, Feng, Yaya, you strengthen long-range shots, and, James, you replace Nigel" Van Basten made adjustments in the second half. This is also the first time that Van Basten made a substitution at halftime this season.

Soon, players from both sides returned to the court, "Oh, Manchester City actually made adjustments during the halftime break. It seems that Van Basten is very dissatisfied with this score."

Compared with Manchester City's substitutions, Fulham maintained the original lineup, and their defensive contraction did not change, leaving only Petric cruising there in the frontcourt.

Manchester City kicked off and the first shot came from forward Van Persie, but it was a long shot. Before Van Persie rushed into the penalty area, he had already received a pass from Li Feng.

Although he has only been teammates with Li Feng for just over two months, Van Persie has fully appreciated Li Feng's incredibleness. Even during this time, he has been thankful that he chose Manchester City instead of Manchester United.

And the moment he received Li Feng's pass, Van Persie understood Li Feng's intentions, so Van Persie did not rush into the penalty area with the ball, but shot a long shot directly outside the penalty area.

On the goal line, Schwarzer's performance is still outstanding, Van Persie's long shot was a bit unexpected, but Schwarzer still blocked Van Persie's shot.

Two minutes later, Milner, who replaced De Jong, also completed a long-range shot. Li Feng and Yaya Toure both played for him. Milner stepped in from behind and blasted a powerful long-range shot from a position a little far from the top of the arc, which was saved by Schwarzer again.

It has to be said that from the beginning to the present, except for Li Feng's one-shot in the first half, Schwarzer's performance is definitely much better than Joe Hart's, and the number of saves is several times that of Joe Hart.

Fulham counterattacked again, and De Jong was replaced to a certain extent to liberate Ruiz. This time Fulham's counterattack was instigated by Ruiz.

He sent a through ball after a pass from his street-mate near midfield, and Petric rushed forward, but unfortunately, he was never as fast as Clichy.

However, Rodariega reacted quickly, cutting in from behind at high speed, Petric decisively passed the ball, but Sabaleta stopped Rodariega in time.

Another quick counterattack failed, and the ball could only be passed back to Ruiz. The latter had a chance with the ball and passed it to Petric again under the double-team of Yaya Toure and Li Feng.

The latter was fouled by Clichy. Although the referee did not draw the card, it was another free kick from Fulham. Manchester City fans complained about this.

If it was Manchester City who got these two free kick opportunities, perhaps at this moment, Manchester City has tied the score the most, but Manchester City has no good free kick opportunities. Even if Fulham fouls, the position is very good. This can be seen from the opening to the present. Fulham has not taken a pie.

Luiz's free kick was not as good as the one in the first half. Although the ball went over the wall, it didn't fly to the goal, but flew directly to the stands.

In the next period of time, Manchester City firmly controlled the rhythm of the game, and the offense was even higher than the wave. However, even though Manchester City's offensive was like a huge wave, Fulham's small boat never capsized.

"Manchester City's second substitution, Dzeko, the Manchester City striker came on, and he replaced Zabaleta, oh~~Manchester City hasn't been so desperate for a long time."

"That's right. On the other hand, although the result of the game is not yet known, Fulham can make Manchester City so desperate. It is definitely the only team this season. Even giants like Arsenal and Juventus can't cause such trouble to Manchester City."

On the other side, after seeing Van Basten's substitution, Martin Jol finally made the first adjustment of the game. Defender Kelly replaced Petric, and Fulham was about to carry out the defense to the end.

However, in China, there is a saying called "If you defend for a long time, you will lose". These four words can be used not only on the court, but also on the court.

No. 709 minutes of the game, Manchester City finally equalized the score, relying on a long shot, Dzeko's appearance still played a very critical role.

Dzeko used his impact to firmly suppress Fulham's defense in the penalty area. Li Feng, Milner and Yaya Toure scored outside the Fulham penalty area again.

However, this time it was Li Feng who shot the goal. Yaya Toure and Milner sent Sidwell and Verdela away respectively. Li Feng then received the return pass from Yaya Toure and blasted the most exciting long shot of the game.

"GOAL~~~ The goal was scored, and Manchester City finally equalized the score. No. 80 minutes of the game, Fulham's crazy defense finally broke under the feet of the wind."

"With a super heavy shot, the ball flew straight like a shell, and flew into the Fulham goal from the dense crowd. Schwarzer didn't react at all this time, because there were too many people in the penalty area, and he didn't see the wind's shot at all."
