Chapter 075 Old Trafford Stadium (seven)

“Yes!It’sGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!”

As Carrick scored the football into the goal, huge cheers burst out from the stands. All Manchester United supporters raised their arms and jumped out of their seats.

In the bar in Manchester, there are Manchester United fans and Manchester City fans. At this time, there was a burst of cheers in the bar where Manchester United fans were located, and in the bar where Manchester City fans were located, the fans hugged their heads, full of regret and depression.

With two goals leading, Manchester United actually equalized the score. This is indeed a huge blow to Manchester City fans. Of course, on the contrary, this is also a great encouragement to Manchester United fans.

At this time, Manchester City head coach Mark Hughes was also making a choice in his heart, whether to continue to stabilize the defense, strive to defend the three-to-three score, or push out the offense and strive to surpass the score again?

In a sense, Mark Hughes could still accept the three-to-three score. It was a very good result to take one point away from Old Trafford Stadium.

However, Mark Hughes is also worried that the team's retraction will be more letting Manchester United go. If Manchester United plays crazy, it will be difficult not to concede the ball.

When Mark Hughes made timely adjustments, Manchester United almost scored another goal.

After Manchester United equalized the score, their morale became stronger and they continued to put pressure on Manchester City's goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo is dribbling the ball.

Kompany went up to intercept, and at this moment, Giggs suddenly stepped forward to the other side, and Dunn quickly followed. At this moment, the two central defenders of Manchester City focused on Cristiano Ronaldo and Giggs who seemed to be ready to cooperate, and ignored the others.

Cristiano Ronaldo flew and suddenly pushed a straight pass from the middle!

No one expected this time that Rooney, who had already started interspersing, received the ball in the position of not offside.

Then, the fat guy dribbled the ball into the penalty area!

"One single shot - Rooney's chance! Manchester United's chance to overtake the score!" the commentator exclaimed.

The deafening cheers broke out at Old Trafford Stadium, and everyone knew that this was a great opportunity to score a goal!

If Rooney can seize this opportunity, Manchester United will overtake the score!

Seeing Rooney gets a one-on-one chance, Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart attacks decisively

Rooney didn't seem to have expected Johart to attack so decisively and quickly. He had just taken two steps and saw a huge figure blocking in front of him. Rooney did not hesitate and shot!

Because Joe Hart made a very timely attack, it largely blocked the best angle for Rooney to shoot, so when shooting, Rooney deliberately pursued the angle.

In this case, the football bypassed Joe Hart's defense range and also bypassed the goal post, and the football almost slipped through the goal!

"WWWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO-The ball didn't go in! This was an excellent opportunity! Cristiano Ronaldo's pass was quite timely, but unfortunately, Rooney didn't catch it. It was such a pity..." Leinker shook his head and sighed.

"Joe Hart's attack was very timely, which also put great pressure on Rooney, otherwise he could pass the goalkeeper and shoot!" Eddie Gray said, and he praised Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart. Although Joe Hart did not make the football, his attack was very critical and decisive!

Originally, Mark Hughes was still hesitating about the tactics of the remaining games, but Manchester United's attack reminded him that he must make a decision immediately. Whether it is offense or defense, adjustments must be made as soon as possible!

Mark Hughes's conservative character played a role again, and he decided to continue to consolidate his defense. The team started playing defensive counterattacks in the following game, and not losing the ball was the primary goal. As for whether the counterattack can be effective, it depends on luck.

Manchester City made another substitution, Robinho was replaced, and Sun Jihai came on as a substitute.

This is still something to keep.

After Sun Jihai's position was fixed in the midfield, and his main task was to help the team defend. This Chinese player is a versatile player and can play multiple positions, which is also an important reason why Sun Jihai is able to like several Manchester City head coaches.

Seeing Robinho being replaced, Zhang Yang's face became increasingly ugly. Things were obvious. The head coach was satisfied with getting a point, or in other words, when facing Manchester United's attack, Mark Hughes chose to give up the attack.

Mark Hughes' tactical adjustment is not a bad or correct choice for Manchester City. The head coach has his own head coach's consideration. Mark Hughes thinks that he can be satisfied with one point, so his tactics are indeed appropriate.

However, for Zhang Yang, he must be unhappy. He is eager to win. To win, he naturally has to attack. He is a shooter, so he naturally wants to score goals and use goals to help the team win!

This situation is not the first time. During the game against Liverpool, Mark Hughes also chose to be conservative in the second half of the second half and replaced Zhang Yang, which also led to the long game. Manchester City finally tied with Liverpool. That long game was also the first time that there was a conflict between Zhang Yang and Mark Hughes.

Mark Hughes' substitution also conveyed a tactical message to the players on the court, that is, defense. The draw is also acceptable.

Since the head coach has made such tactical adjustments, Manchester City players can only obey. Now, Manchester City has to focus more on defense on the court. This not only does not slow down Manchester United's offensive, but is more comprehensive and passive.

For opponents on the court of giants like Manchester United, once Manchester United takes the initiative, it is definitely a very threatening one.

Manchester City is now passive and can only rely on Zhang Yang's personal ability to dribble the ball and launch a counterattack.

Marklele intercepted the ball in the backcourt, and he passed the ball directly to Sun Jihai. After the latter received the ball, he passed the ball to Modric. When Modric received the ball, he saw Zhang Yang running in the frontcourt, and he immediately passed a long diagonal pass.

Then, everyone saw a blue shadow flashing by. It was Zhang Yang, and his interweaving speed was quite fast.

Modric's pass was good, Zhang Yang caught up with the football and then followed the situation and was about to penetrate into the penalty area.

However, Evra, who was rushing to the sky, made a crucial interception. He tackled the football out of the sideline with a tackle against the turf, and at the same time, he also brought Zhang Yang to the ground.

This location is closer to the side road.

Modric passed the free kick to the penalty area and Zhang Yang headed the ball, but unfortunately he took it too straight and was hugged by Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar.

Then Van der Sar quickly threw the ball and launched a counterattack.

Zhang Yang wants to score a goal and help Manchester City overtake the score. So, isn’t that the same with Manchester United? They hope to score another goal and win the game backwards!

Therefore, the goalkeeper quickly throws the ball and launches an attack, which is also a very timely counterattack method.

Carrick received the football and he immediately passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo.

The latter received a pass from Carrick. He was about to dribble the ball, but he was knocked down. It was Marklele!

There was a booing sound in the stands at Old Trafford Stadium. Obviously, Manchester United fans thought that Marklele had committed a foul, which should be a yellow card!

However, the referee didn't say anything and did not think it was a foul. Marklele tackled the football first.

"No foul! The referee signaled the game to continue!"

Marklele not only stopped Cristiano Ronaldo's advancement, but also poked the ball to Modric in front.

Modric controlled the ball, looked up at the situation ahead, he knew that he didn't have much time and had to find the route to pass as soon as possible.

He looked forward, Zhang Yang, Wright Phillips and Sabaleta who was plugging in the wing were all forward. Logically speaking, these three points were all choices for passing.

However, in just a moment, Modric made a decision! He swung his foot and passed the football to Zhang Yang who was running forward at the high speed!

"...It's up to you, Zhang!" At this time, Modric subconsciously chose to pass the ball to Zhang Yang.

Carrick jumped up on the football line and wanted to push the football to Evra behind him. He pushed the football, but Zhang Yang took the lead and stepped forward to Evra and intercepted the football.

Not only did he intercept the football, Zhang Yang took the opportunity to cushion the football forward, and he accelerated himself again.

Evra came to pick up the ball. He was shocked when he saw Zhang Yang intercepting the ball. However, he was still accelerating at this time. Inertia made him unable to stop. He could only watch Zhang Yang pass by his side and pass by!

Now, after passing Evra, Zhang Yang was in front of him.

Breakthrough by speed is Zhang Yang's most sharp weapon. The feeling of a fast horse and light fur is his most enjoyable thing. The opportunity for counterattack is fleeting. He immediately increased his speed to the highest level and drove the ball to the top at high speed and left!

"Zhang Yang, he passed Evra! Manchester City's chance!"

Seeing Zhang Yang passing the ball, passing Evra, he walked into the penalty area, and the booed at Old Trafford Stadium was shocking.

Ferdinand came up to defend Zhang Yang. He had fought with Zhang Yang more than once, and knew how powerful Zhang Yang was. At this time, Ferdinand dared not rob him easily. He knew Zhang Yang's speed. As long as he easily swayed, Zhang Yang would change direction and break through. He was cautious and ran with Zhang Yang with only one goal, blocking Zhang Yang's shooting angle! Forced Manchester City's counterattack to be consumed because there was no chance to shoot.

Zhang Yang obviously knew Ferdinand's intentions, so he naturally would not let himself dribble into a dead end.

Zhang Yang suddenly lowered his speed and made a fake move to shoot. He swung his feet and then put them down. Ferdinand moved slightly and made a defensive shot. However, the center of gravity was still there. The next change could be made at any time.

Seeing that Ferdinand was not shaking, Zhang Yang suddenly looked at the right side of the penalty area.

Is this going to pass the ball?!

Vidic is defending Sabaleta there, but to be on the safe side, Zhang Yang cannot pass the football over. To put it bluntly, such a pass will cause a huge threat if someone touches it.

When Ferdinand saw Zhang Yang's attitude of passing the ball, he immediately made a decision to block Zhang Yang's pass, even if he gave Manchester City a corner kick, he would do whatever he wanted.

Sure enough, Zhang Yang swung his right foot again, and Ferdinand immediately took a step forward. Moreover, in order to expand the defense area, the space between his legs subconsciously became larger in this step.

Zhang Yang is waiting for this time!

This is not a pass!

He volleyed directly!

The football flew through Ferdinand's legs quickly, followed by Van der Sar's wicket behind Ferdinand and rolled into the net behind him.

The ball - actually entered?!

Enter!
