Chapter 375 How Far Can Manchester United Go?
"This is the instinctive reaction of the shooter. With almost no chance, and with his position completely blocked by Yabo and Will, Dong had already stretched out his right leg. It seemed impossible. The opportunity was converted into an opportunity by his calf."
"Opportunities are reserved for the most prepared players. Obviously Dong is such a player. He will not miss any expectations of scoring goals. The moment he stretched out his right leg, Yabo and Will definitely wanted to break it. Legs."
"The score of 2:1 is very dazzling. Moyes should find a hole to get in. His team played one more man, but the score fell behind. Will he continue to give Manchester United such opportunities? This is why his team What’s the reason why you can’t play in the Champions League?”
"If Ferguson's team can win this game, then Manchester United will definitely be sublimated and move to a higher level."
Moyes frowned and walked up and down the sidelines. Obviously he felt embarrassed. At Old Trafford, the team was so embarrassed with one more player. If they really lost the game, they would be laughed at. His teeth were falling out, and he had to do something.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, took command off the court, and began to change formations.
The formation changed from 442 to 433!
Kilbani on the right comes up and becomes the left winger.
Soon, the offensive effect came out. McFadden's left-footed shot from 22 yards from the right was confiscated by Van der Sar at the near corner.
Everton has one more player, and it is difficult for Manchester United to defend after all.
Then Kilbani also got a chance to shoot on the left. After all, there was only one Vidic, and neither Park Ji-sung nor Fletcher.
But Manchester United still played a quality counterattack.
In the 37th minute, Gary Neville made a pass from the right, and Luo's header from 14 yards went over the top.
In order not to put too much pressure on the defense, Manchester United also pressed in the frontcourt to prevent them from easily hitting behind.
In the 39th minute, Richardson stole the ball in the backcourt and handed it to Giggs. Giggs passed the ball from the left and Dong Fangzhuo passed over Yabo's head. The header from 8 yards in front of the center goal hit Wright right in the middle.
Everton's two central defenders had nothing to do in front of Dong Fangzhuo.
Everton had a chance to counterattack, but Wright's throw hit Phillip Neville's arm.
The offensive power returned to Manchester United's hands.
The tactical positioning kick was taken, and Giggs' left-footed shot from 28 yards in the middle hit the wall.
"At the end of the first half, Manchester United, which was gradually regaining its courage, actually scored 14 times! Everton only had 4... Did Manchester United really hit one less player?" Lineker couldn't help but sigh again.
"Are you sure it's not Everton who is missing one person?"
Although Ferguson was very satisfied, he still did not let the players relax. Although Manchester United is not at a disadvantage now, after their physical fitness declined in the second half, perhaps Manchester United's problems came out.
Taking advantage of Manchester United's advantage, at the beginning of the second half, Manchester United suddenly launched a fierce attack.
Moyes and his team were completely caught off guard! Sir Alex simply doesn't follow common sense.
Manchester United started a fast break at the beginning. Scholes passed the ball directly from the center to the right side of the penalty area. Giggs' shot from 16 yards was blocked by Wright at the near corner.
Manchester United continued to exert pressure. Dong Fangzhuo passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Scholes' shot from 10 yards on the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Wright again at the near corner. Park Ji-sung followed up with a follow-up shot but was still blocked by Wright.
If not for Wright, Manchester United would have scored another goal.
Everton is overwhelmed in front of the goal, and Moyes's formation change has failed. If the players at hand are not good, they will not be able to play 433. 433 depends on the person and the team!
Dong Fangzhuo was very active in the front, never letting Everton's defense quiet down, and dragging Will and Yabo's movements at any time.
In the 58th minute, Dong Fangzhuo received the ball from Giggs and turned around and passed Yabo. Weir had to foul Dong Fangzhuo and was given a yellow card.
Giggs took a free kick, but the cross was cleared. Scholes stopped the ball on his chest in the middle, and his shot from 21 yards missed the crossbar.
Seeing that the scene was so passive, Moyes changed his formation again and returned to 442. There was a boo from the stands, obviously for Moyes.
Moyes's old face is not good-looking either, and he himself feels very useless, but 433 leaves the midfielder and backfield with too little advantage...
In the 64th minute, Ferguson made another surprise move. Rossi replaced Ronaldo and came on as a substitute. Luo looked a little tired, maybe he worked too hard in the Champions League. This game rushed too hard in the first half and was a little quiet in the second half.
Ferguson didn't want the game to be quiet and wanted Manchester United's players to be in a state of excitement, so he constantly adjusted by arranging players.
But as soon as Rossi came on, Everton got a chance.
McFadden intercepted Scholes in the backcourt, and Everton quickly counterattacked to form a 2-on-1 opportunity in the frontcourt. Simon Davis passed the ball directly to McFadden, whose shot from 16 yards on the left side of the penalty area was blocked by Vander. Sa saves.
"Be careful, Everton's opportunity seems to be coming."
No,
Manchester United said no.
Park Ji-sung blocked McFadden's ball and passed half-court. Rossi took the initiative to respond. A fiddle flick past Simon Davies. Then he broke into the left rib of the penalty area and shot decisively from 14 yards!
Rossi hit Phil Neville and then deflected. Wright's fingertips touched the ball, and Valente made a timely clearance from far away.
"pretty!"
"You are quite calm at such a young age!"
Simon Davies rushed towards the ball to launch a counterattack, but Park immediately pulled him down and was booked.
"Korea Park is growing every game, and this foul was timely. But the number of yellow cards in the next game is enough for him to be suspended, and so is Smith."
After receiving the yellow card, Park Ji-sung's actions became a little cautious.
In the 68th minute, McFadden stole the ball in midfield and broke through. Park Ji-sung did not dare to make a move, allowing McFadden to rush to the center and miss the low shot from 22 yards.
Everton hit a climax!
Immediately after Osman scored the ball in the middle, Kilbani volleyed from 20 yards on the left side of the penalty area, and the ball went over the crossbar.
In the 74th minute, Everton passed a long ball, and Vidic headed back and almost scored an own goal.
Taking advantage of Manchester United's declining physical fitness, Everton finally showed its fangs.
Ferguson made another substitution adjustment and played the last card.
Rooney replaced Scholes, Rooney appeared in the center position for the first time.
Rooney brought down Simon Davies when he came up. Stopped an Everton attack.
Rooney, who was running all over the field, may have felt that he came up too late, as his running almost covered half of the field.
In the 84th minute, Gary Neville tried his best to pass the ball, but Dong Fangzhuo's header missed the far corner due to Yabo's interference.
One minute later, Rooney made another pass, and Rossi's header also missed the goal.
The fourth official added 1 minute of added time.
1 minute?
Moyes seemed to have finally woken up. He felt that stoppage time was complete nonsense.
However, his team never had a chance again...
Manchester United finally won the game 2:1 at home!
"Another hard-fought victory!"
"How much further can they go?"
