Chapter 270 Ferguson's Confusion
"...This is really... Oh, this is really... Oh, this is really..."
Seeing the elated Cester beside him steadily suppressing his momentum, one can imagine the depression in Mike Donald's heart. This man sat in the commentary box and feebly said three or four times in a row "This is really true." , and fell into a state of brain panic with no words to explain.
There is no way, Manchester United, playing at home, actually ended up in such a situation, it is really shocking!
…
Sideline!
Finally, Mr. Ferguson, the godfather of the Red Devils who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, could no longer maintain his calm and confident "wise man" appearance. The old Scottish man angrily spit out the tasteless chewing gum in his mouth and rushed. He went to the sidelines and used his world-famous "hairdryer" to roar!
Seeing Evra and Ronaldo, the two most trustworthy core figures of Manchester United playing one after another on the field, being incredibly beaten to death by the "weak" Newcastle, Ferguson felt that he was not equipped to do anything. The pacemaker's heart is about to stop!
Unforgivable!
Absolutely unforgivable! !
The head coach's roar sounded to the ears of the Manchester United players on the field like the roar of the Nine Netherworld Demon King of the Abyss. Every Red Devils player knew it——
The BOSS is very angry and the consequences will be serious!
However, it is useless no matter how much Sir Alex Ferguson roars, because it is an unchangeable fact that Newcastle won a penalty when they were already one goal ahead!
…
On the field!
All players exited Manchester United's penalty area!
After the referee Marin Richardson showed Evra the Topaz God of War card, he signaled that Newcastle could select players to take penalty kicks!
Standing in front of the penalty spot is Michael Owen!
Because, after scoring nearly six consecutive rounds of Newcastle's crazy goal performances, the former Liverpool golden boy has scored 23 league goals this season, ranking the same as the current Liverpool Spanish golden boy Fernando Torres in the Premier League scorer list. 2nd place, 5 goals behind Red Devils ace C-Ronaldo, 6 goals ahead of Blackburn’s striker Santa Cruz…
With three rounds left in the league, theoretically speaking, Michael Owen is still very hopeful to compete for the league's top scorer this season!
When was the last time Michael was the league's top scorer?
Except for Irving's die-hard fans, not many people remember it!
Therefore, regardless of the Golden Boy himself, Lee Tong-beom, or Newcastle fans, everyone hopes that Irving can win the top scorer trophy for the Magpies after the end of the season!
…
Push~~~~
The whistle sounds!
Irving slowly exited the penalty area and then started running...
It looks like there is going to be a heavy bombardment!
Left or right?
Red Devils goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar saw clearly the range and direction of his opponent's leg swing the moment Owen's right foot was about to touch the football, and then made an immediate judgment!
right! !
Pushing on the ground with his toes, Van der Sar tried his best to open his arms and rush towards the right side of the goal!
At this moment, in the stands behind the goal, the Red Devils fans were still twisting their waists and swinging their legs and slapping their seats to make noise to distract Irving. Some bold and beautiful fans were eager to expose their "uproar" to Irving. Confused...
but……
Whoosh!
The moment Irving's instep touched the football, it didn't make as loud a sound as people expected!
The white football is like a fat parrot that has always been well groomed and full of aristocratic temperament. It slowly jumps high and then leisurely lands behind Manchester United's goal line...
Dream Theater was in an uproar!
It was actually...a whistle penalty?
Is Owen too courageous? Do you still dare to play at this time?
This time, the first person to react among more than 70,000 people was the referee Marin Richardson!
When the referee pointed his finger at the center circle of the stadium to indicate that the goal was valid, the Newcastle fans cheered and the Manchester fans booed in the stands...
Michael Owen hugs Juan Mata again!
The Newcastle players even collectively performed a "low-altitude glide" on the Old Trafford lawn, with more than a dozen obvious skid marks left on the green field like medals highlighting Newcastle's bravery!
…
"...Michael Owen!!! A penalty full of artistic flavor! I have to admit that after two years of dormancy in Newcastle, Owen has become more mature..." Sester took the opportunity to take advantage of his enemy McDonald today. What a bargain: "This penalty kick is so similar to the one Zidane scored against Buffon in the final of the World Cup in Germany!! Crazy Li's ability to train players really puts other coaches to shame..."
Faced with Cester's provocation, Macdonald was "speechless and choked" with a dark face!
Who made Manchester United so weak today!
…
Push~~~
The game continues!
Soon, the first half of the game had reached more than 40 minutes!
Manchester United launched a crazy counterattack after falling behind by two goals!
Ferguson had no choice but to replace Carrick, who was not performing very well, with Hargreaves, who had been resting in the rotation. In this way, a strong man like Hargreaves guarded the rear. C-Ronaldo, Giggs, Fletcher and others can attack with all their strength!
The effect of substitution is obvious!
Manchester United did gain enough advantage in the face of Crazy Lee's 3-1-3-3 offensive formation!
Since Joey Barton focuses all his energy on defending Cristiano Ronaldo, the Newcastle defense led by Steven Taylor is experiencing tremendous pressure!
Rooney moved to the wing and formed Manchester United's new frontcourt wings with Giggs. Only Tevez, the Argentinian beast, was left at the center position. Newcastle full-backs Jose Enrique and Habibie were simply reduced to rubbish by the Welsh magic wings and little meat. High-quality crosses seemed to keep flying in the stands. The lighters that came down, like coins, were continuously fed into the Newcastle penalty area...
If Taylor hadn't already gone through Lao Li's "reinvention"...
If it weren't for Beast Tevez being too short...
If Manchester United didn't have another Drogba-style powerful aerial dominator in the frontcourt...
As long as one of the above three points is missing, it is estimated that the score can be evened by high-altitude bombing!
However, Newcastle's frontcourt did not save face for Manchester United. Juan Mata and Duff, who had already had two assists, continued to cross and switch positions, causing Evra and Gary Neville to suffer. Alan Smith's Will long-range shots and breakthroughs test the heart endurance of Manchester United fans...
…
Sideline!
The godfather Ferguson looked at Juan Mata and Alan Smith who performed well on the field and felt a little regretful!
Alan Smith was extremely talented at Leeds United back then. Not only was he the darling and prince of Elland Road, he was also regarded as the hope of England's future forwards!
In the summer of 2004, Manchester United defeated many wealthy competitors and brought Smith to Old Trafford. People thought that a superstar would rise at Old Trafford. Unfortunately, Smith's development in Manchester was not as smooth as people imagined. In the 06-07 match between Manchester United and Liverpool, Alan Smith broke his calf bone when he blocked Norwegian heavy gunner Rise's free kick, and was seriously injured and bid farewell to the season...
After the end of the season, Alan Smith was quickly abandoned by Manchester United!
And everyone knows about Juan Mata, who is the most typical Old Trafford abandoned child!
However, what Ferguson didn't expect was that these two "wastes" who he considered to have no hope of further development would actually burst out with unimaginable energy under the training of Madman Li!
Isn't this a slap in the face?
But to be honest, the issue of face is not what Uncle Ferguson is most concerned about. What the old Scottish man is most curious about is what method Crazy Lee used to bring some "fallen" players back to their peak?
You must know that in addition to the positive examples of Juan Mata and Alan Smith, the negative examples of Beckham and Ronaldo are also vividly before your eyes!
This season, under the leadership of Italy's gold medal coach Capello, Real Madrid has completely lost the solitary attitude of last season in the league. Last season's "Triple Crown" was not only inextricably tied with Barcelona, but also in the Champions League. Zhong Geng was eliminated early!
Ronaldo and Beckham, the two core players of Real Madrid in the old Crazy Li era, lost their luster from last season under Capello!
Beckham played 28 times in the league and scored 5 assists and 2 goals. Compared with last season's 31 assists and 18 goals, there is a huge difference... As for Ronaldo?
Worse!
After experiencing a three-month injury at the beginning of the season, the Alien made a comeback amidst the long-awaited calls of Galacticos fans. However, the results he handed over disappointed everyone. He scored only 17 goals in 17 starts. 8 balls! Coupled with the conflicts between him and head coach Capello in the second half of the season, the terrifying alien in the 2006-07 season has already sat on the bench at the Bernabeu...
There are rumors that Real Madrid is preparing to purge this super shooter who swept Europe last season!
It is not difficult to make a "fallen" player burst out with amazing energy again. The real difficulty is to let a group of "fallen" players become the focus of the green field again! Juan Mata, Michael Owen, Alan Smith…
How did Crazy Li do it?
The Godfather of the Red Devils stood on the sidelines deep in thought!
…
Push~~~~
Until referee Marlin Richardson blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score on the field did not change again. Newcastle, playing away, incredibly won 2 at Old Trafford at the Theater of Dreams. :0 leads the Red Devils Manchester United! The one who contributed to Newcastle was Michael Owen, who returned as the king this season, and the one who stood behind and directed these two goals was Juan Mata, who is known as one of the top ten parallel imports in Manchester United's history!
…
At the same time, the other three games also ended the first half of the fight!
Tottenham Hotspur 0:0 Liverpool!
Middlesbrough 2:0 Manchester United! !
West Ham United 3:0 Portsmouth! ! !
For Newcastle, the situation can only be considered not bad, but not optimistic!
Because facing a team like the Red Devils and Manchester United, a two-goal lead at halftime is not enough to guarantee the final victory! And Middlesbrough's 2:0 and West Ham United's 3:0 almost guarantee that they can each get three points at their home court!
In this way, even if Newcastle finally creates a miracle and beats Manchester United away from home, it still cannot guarantee that it will be among the top seven after the end of the season!
If you want to qualify for the League Cup, you must survive the second half first!
