Chapter 271 The Man Who Conquered Old Trafford
No one knows what happened in the mysterious dressing room at Old Trafford during the fifteen minutes of halftime!
5 minutes after the start of the second half!
"...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!" MacDonald was going crazy. He had been waiting for this opportunity for too long!
"...Ryan Giggs! Wow, God! Unbelievable!! He toyed with Newcastle's entire defense by himself! Duff, Alan Smith, Jose Enrique... all Newcastle, he can't do anything about it! ! ! Haha, Crazy Lee used Joey Barton to limit Cristiano Ronaldo and Steven Taylor to limit Tevez...but ignored the veteran Giggs, a fatal mistake..."
"...This is a personal performance by the Welsh Magic Wings!! After a strong breakthrough from the left, the curved shot from the edge of the penalty area penetrated the goal handled by Given... 1:2!! Manchester United pulled a goal back! Sleeping The giant wakes up..."
"...Haha, before the game, people focused on Ronaldo. Manchester United fans believe in the new darling of Old Trafford... But don't forget, Giggs was also the wing angel of the Red Devils. -After Ronaldo was restrained by Crazy Lee’s tactics, the long-lost warrior appeared again, and he gave the triumphant Newcastle people a fatal blow..."
Like a machine cannon filled with unlimited gunpowder, MacDonald grabbed the microphone on the table and shouted wildly!
You must know that being completely suppressed by his enemy Sester for 45 minutes in the first half almost caused the new BBC radio commentator to collapse!
Well now, Giggs' goal came at such a crucial time!
Mike Donald finally found a chance to fight back!
Smiling as he looked at Cester who was nervous, disappointed, and anxious after Giggs scored... his face turned red due to the mixture of these expressions, Mac Donald felt like he had become a fairy!
…
The 65th minute of the game!
"...Giggs Giggs Giggs Giggs!!! Still Giggs!! Another goal!!"
"... Steven Taylor brought down Carlos Tevez near the arc of the penalty area, giving Manchester United an excellent set-piece opportunity. The Welshman lived up to the fans' hopes!! A curve ball once again penetrated the Newcastle goalkeeper. Ji Wen's ten-finger seal! ! Oh, Manchester United equalized the score. This is a huge blow to the Magpies who are aiming to hit the top seven in the league!"
"...Yes, Juan Mata's performance in the game was surprising, but for Manchester United, losing a small player who has not proven himself at Old Trafford is nothing! And Angel Wings Ryan - Compared with Giggs, Juan Mata is too young, and the Spanish teenager lacks decisiveness and lethality in the game..."
"...Yes, as the best young head coach on the planet, he has almost unleashed 23,400% of Newcastle's potential in just over a month...In today's game Crazy Li almost played his role as a coach to the extreme, but don’t forget that the head coach has no final say in football matches! Even if C-Ronaldo is frozen, it’s a surprise 3-1-3-3. It gave Manchester United two heavy blows, but the gap in the team's overall strength is doomed to end the Magpies' winning streak! "
"...Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. At the same time, Crazy Li's myth of victory was terminated. How unfortunate! Who made him choose Newcastle instead of Inter Milan or Barcelona!! Haha!"
A commentator who is gloating and even a little bit malicious!
Of course, it's "Machine Cannon" MacDonald who almost goes berserk from "Climax"!
The old Welsh monster Giggs once again gave the famous [Lee Hei] a chance to go crazy! This BBC celebrity really wanted to jump onto the field, hug Giggs and give him a passionate kiss!
It’s so fucking awesome!
At this moment, [The Heroic Traitor] Cester had no choice but to remain silent while his opponent was celebrating!
…
2:2!
draw!
Less than 20 minutes passed in the second half. Manchester United relied on the sudden burst of veteran Ryan Giggs to destroy the lead that Madman Li had created with all his hard work, changes and substitutions. Advantage!
At least that's what the current situation seems like!
Amid the thunderous cheers of more than 50,000 Manchester United fans at Old Trafford, Li Tongfan quickly replaced the Irish fast horse Duff with James Milner!
Manchester United's two goals were obtained by switching the team's offensive core!
In the first half, the Red Devils continued their regular tactics this season, always using Ronaldo as the core of the offense. However, Joey Barton's heroic performance in this game completely limited the role of the Portuguese winger. This led to Manchester United's first half The direct reason for the passive field!
And during the halftime break, the cunning and cunning Ferguson obviously noticed this!
Although Ferguson was also very puzzled by the fact that Joey Barton, a guy whose brain was sometimes out of control, had successfully restricted his favorite generals, some players suddenly entered the game during a certain game. Invincible status is not uncommon. The most typical example is the feat of Italian goalkeeper Toldo in the 2000 European Championship when he miraculously saved four Dutch penalty kicks in one game...
You should know that in the game before the "miracle", Toldo was just Buffon's substitute, but he actually accomplished something that even Buffon couldn't do! So much so that he has since been rarely called "Saint Toldo" by Italian fans!
Maybe Joey Barton's performance in this game belongs to the "people-crazy" nature of Toldo!
However, this puzzlement cannot prevent Ferguson from quickly adjusting Manchester United's tactical system. Since you crazy Li has restricted C-Ronaldo, I will change someone to play the core!
To a certain extent, the players' outbreak is usually inseparable from the head coach's tactical arrangement! When the whole team is serving you alone, your luck comes!
So there was a sudden outbreak of Giggs!
And now, what Li Tongfan has to do is to freeze Giggs again!
The method adopted by Lao Li is still the very old-fashioned man-to-man brutal defense!
Replacing Duff is precisely for this tactical need! You should know that the Irish fast Madhav has a very strong offensive ability, but is a little weak in defense, and after more than 60 minutes of fighting, his physical strength has also decreased a lot, so Lao Li decisively replaced James Milner, who is more balanced in offense and defense! The main task of Newcastle's new king after coming on the court is not to strengthen the Magpies' offense, but to defend Giggs man-to-man!
As for the offense?
Isn't there a guy called Juan Mata?
...
The game continues!
After James Milner came on the court, he followed the Welsh old demon step by step according to Li Tongfan's tactical requirements, and Giggs soon disappeared on the court! This situation directly caused Manchester United's offensive to become weak for a period of time! At this time, Newcastle people began to come back to their senses after experiencing the initial panic, and took the opportunity to launch a tidal offensive!
Owen and others have no reason not to fight hard!
If they lose or draw this game, it is possible that the previous winning streak for a period of time will all become useless! Only by defeating Manchester United head-on can the Magpies retain the opportunity to appear in the European arena next season!
The bravest will win when two sides meet in a narrow road. Let's fight!
...
On the field!
Under Li Tongfan's deliberate request, Juan Mata undoubtedly became the offensive core of Newcastle on the field, and even Alan Smith, the front midfielder, became the helper of the Spanish fast horse!
And soon, the Spanish fast horse used his outstanding performance to repay the trust of his "mentor" Li Tongfan!
"... Newcastle turned the situation around!! Crazy Li's substitution quickly restricted Giggs, and Juan Mata became active again. Look at this opportunity... Beautiful cross, Bendtner's header!! Unfortunately, it hit the side net..."
"... It's Juan Mata again. He successfully broke through Manchester United's captain Gary Neville for the fifth time in this game! Go to the bottom line... Enter the penalty area... It seems that Weiss Brown, who has suffered a loss once, dares not be careless again. He chose to block the position in time and did not rush to kick... Juan Mata sent the ball out of the penalty area... Alas, Alan Smith!! Beautiful long shot! Van der Sar saved this powerful shot. Long shot..."
"...Juan Mata cruised to the middle, but Fletcher had already held him from behind in the first time...Oh, Joey Barton shouldn't pass the ball to Mata at this time, the Spanish winger has no passing route...Ah, ah, ah, God! How did this ball pass? Owen got the ball in the penalty area! Owen... Owen... Owen Owen Owen! ! Too bad, Owen's shot was blocked by Vidic's legs out of the sideline..."
...
As the commentator Sester's roar conveyed, after Crazy Lee's targeted substitutions, Newcastle firmly suppressed Manchester United with Juan Mata's outstanding performance! Fletcher alone could not effectively suppress Mata's itinerary, and although Hargreaves was strong, Owen and Alan Smith had already involved all the energy of the former Bayern iron waist, and could not give Fletcher effective support!
In the 75th minute, Juan Mata received Steven Taylor's clearance in the backcourt and made a comeback again!
In front of the absolute speed of the Spanish winger, Fletcher once again became a tragic "chaser" - in Ferguson's roar, although Fletcher used all his strength, the fingertips he stretched out to grab Mata's black and white jersey were getting farther and farther away from the back of the No. 66!
Even if he wanted to foul, he had already lost the opportunity!
After using his speed to get rid of Fletcher, Juan Mata just ran across the field with the ball and crossed the line less than ten meters away, and met his old enemy Evra!
In the first half, Evra escaped the referee's punishment for a malicious foul, and Mata also used a penalty trap that made the Frenchman complain in return!
This time, it was the first one-on-one contest between the two in the second half!
Not far away, Alan Smith raised his hand to ask for the ball!
Mata made a fake pass!
Just as Evra was about to rush forward to block the passing route, Mata suddenly changed his focus and kicked the ball hard behind the Frenchman, and then started to speed up again, preparing to force his way past Evra and once again use his speed to eat his opponent alive!
Oops! He was fooled again!
At this moment, Evra almost had the urge to take out a submachine gun from his pocket and shoot it at Juan Mata's back! This cunning young man has brought disgrace to his game! Thinking about the spittle that boss Ferguson splashed on his face in the midfield locker room, Evra clearly understood: If this kid successfully breaks through from his side and poses a threat to Manchester United again, then the scapegoat of the game will be It has to be me...
Turn around and give chase!
In order to maintain a sufficient lead, Juan Mata did not choose to cross into the penalty area this time, but kept going in a straight line along the sideline of the court at high speed!
Seeing this, Newcastle's two top high center forwards Ameobi and Bendtner hurriedly squeezed into Manchester United's penalty area, one behind the other, left and right, waiting to receive Mata's pass!
Mata brought the football near the baseline and raised his right leg to prepare for a strong pass. Evra rushed from behind like a bullet, and another sliding tackle fell to the ground and shoveled the football hard. come over……
The situation is critical and there is nothing we can do without a tackle!
And the location is not in the penalty area, so Evra doesn't have to be afraid of giving Newcastle another penalty kick!
but……
The tragic French were fooled again!
Juan Mata did not choose to pass the ball immediately. After a fake move, he suddenly stepped on the ball with his soles and pulled the football back 0.01 seconds before Evra's tackle!
Buzz~~~
Amidst the screams of fans in the nearby stands, Evra slammed into the billboard on the sidelines like a maglev train that suddenly derailed! The hard plastic billboard that should have the Nike logo in English is deeply dented...
The look was much more miserable than that of Juan Mata in the first half!
interesting!
The French seemed determined to go against Mata. In the first half, Mata crashed an Adidas billboard, so Evra hit Nike...
After deceiving Evra and "flying out of the field", Juan Mata had enough time to observe the position of his teammates in the penalty area before choosing to cross!
In the restricted area!
Ameobi in the forward position was unable to compete for the ball due to Vidic's interference, but Wes Brown in the back position was easily suppressed by Danish tall man Nicolas Bendtner. The blond man on loan from Arsenal The boy slammed the football into the Red Devils goal like a god of war rising from the ground!
The ball is too fast!
Brush~~
That's the sound of a football hitting the net!
Van der Sar, who successfully defended Manchester United's goal for most of the game, was no longer powerless and could only wave his arms...
3:2!
The strong Newcastle people incredibly took the lead for once!
…
"...Assisted a hat-trick! The Spanish boy conquered Old Trafford!! This is the best counterattack against the endless boos and unbridled abuses he received from Manchester people over the past year!" Sester seemed calm at this moment. , his tone was full of sensationalism: "...What an irony this is. A boy abandoned by the Theater of Dreams has become the focus of Old Trafford tonight! I wonder if Ferguson will regret it? I heard Mata's loan contract contains a £2 million buyout clause, and Juan Mata himself seems more willing to play under Crazy Lee..."
At this moment, the picky Old Trafford also became a little weird!
Some Manchester United fans in the stands were booing crazily, some were sitting in their seats at a loss, and some had already begun to give thumbs up to Juan Mata who did not celebrate wildly after completing the assist hat trick on the field... …
The "disunity" of Manchester United fans made the cheers and horns of more than 20,000 Newcastle fans seem particularly loud and cheerful in the night sky of the Dream Theater...
Of course, some people are almost going crazy with anger!
Not Ferguson, but Manchester United full-back Evra!
The French are almost going crazy!
Of the three goals Manchester United conceded, two were caused by their own side! Even in the Champions League, facing top stars like Messi and Ibrahimovic, he has never been as embarrassed as he is today!
This scene is so ironic!
A year ago at the Wellington training base, this little guy from Spain was put in the group battles by himself again and again. When faced with his own defense, he failed time and time again. He didn't even say a word under his own scolding. Dare to talk back, but I didn't expect that today I would make a fool of myself in front of more than 70,000 fans...
This kid, he must have done it on purpose!
You're kidding yourself on purpose!
Evra did not find reasons for himself. In fact, it is normal for both sides to have their own masters in the game, but he focused his resentment on Juan Mata...
…
88th minute!
When Juan Mata faced Evra again after getting the ball on the wing, the Frenchman made something he regretted after the game -
At the front of the penalty area, Mata faked a breakthrough and passed the ball to Alan Smith in the middle. However, he quickly sprinted and tried to pass everything into the penalty area, but the angry Evra did not give Spain The winger had a chance, but when he turned around to defend himself, he pretended to be inadvertent and directly gave Juan Mata an elbow...
Bang~~~
Blood splatters!
Mata fell to the field without any suspense like a sapling struck by a big axe!
However, the referee, Marin Richardson, did not stop the game immediately! When Evra pretended to be innocent and lifted the ball passed by Alan Smith out of bounds, Richardson found that Newcastle's No. 66 seemed to be injured...
The game was stopped!
Shhhhh~~~
The sharp boos from the stands sounded like countless bombers hovering over Old Trafford and dropping bombs. Both Newcastle fans and Manchester United fans could not stand this scene!
This was an obvious malicious foul!
Dangerous intentional injury!
Mata seemed to have fainted near the penalty area line!
After the Magpies' team doctor rushed to the field for a brief examination, he carried Juan Mata on a stretcher to the coaching bench on the sidelines for emergency treatment!
A minute later, Juan Mata woke up! However, the little guy's eyebrow cracked open with a large cut of four or five centimeters, and blood was oozing out bit by bit!
Team doctor Nugent could only quickly wrap a bandage after a simple suture to help the little guy stop bleeding!
At this time, Newcastle fans in the stands stood up from their seats, raised their hands above their heads and shouted in unison:
"...Mata, stand up!!"
"Stand up! Mata, stand up!"
...
"Do you want to make a substitution?" Assistant coach Alan Shearer suggested to Li Tongfan!
"No!" Old Li shook his head seriously: "He should finish the game. This is his moment and the best chance to make a name for himself!"
There were less than 5 minutes left in the game, and Juan Mata was also very eager to play the first "Old Trafford" in his life. Because since joining Manchester United, the Spanish fast horse has never played a complete 90-minute game at the Theatre of Dreams! In the past year, whether starting or substituting, Mata's appearances at Old Trafford were incomplete!
Two minutes later, Juan Mata changed his bloodstained jersey amid the applause of the fans, and then jogged onto the green field again!
In the field!
The referee has fulfilled his duties. After Marin Richardson discussed with the linesman, Evra was directly sent off with a red card!
No one sympathized with the French full-back, even Manchester United fans booed!
In front of the penalty area, Newcastle got a direct free kick opportunity!
In the absence of the Turkish Emre, Newcastle did not have a trustworthy set-piece operator! In the end, Juan Mata, who had just come on the field, stood in front of the football!
Since no one is sure, let the creator of the opportunity exercise the right to take this penalty kick!
Force~~~
The whistle sounded!
The eyes of the 70,000 people in the audience were focused on this Spanish teenager with a white bandage on his head, but bright red blood had already seeped out!
He is very short!
He is shy!
He was almost kicked out of the Real Madrid second team!
He almost said goodbye to the football he loved and became a truck driver according to his father's arrangement!
He was sinking in Old Trafford and was denounced by countless people as a fake and a loser!
And now, he will clear his name and tell the world with his own feet that Juan Mata is a genius, a real genius!
Of course, the most important thing is to help the man standing in front of the coaching seat on the sidelines of the football field to win a victory and achieve the team's goal of impacting the UEFA Cup!
So, this ball must go in!
Bang!
The huge sound of the football shocked everyone!
A white S-shaped lightning penetrated everything, and Van der Sar had no way to react!
This is a legendary goal similar to the one scored by Roberto Carlos in the French Four Nations Invitational Tournament. Only people like Juan Mata who have accumulated energy for one year and seven months can kick such a goal at this moment!
The whole audience stood up!
Then there was applause!
There are not many players who can conquer Old Trafford as an enemy, and Juan Mata became one of these few players today!
The youngest one!
The one with the most legendary experience!
When the game ended three minutes later, the applause at Old Trafford had not ended!
4:2!
Juan Mata's "revenge battle", three assists and one goal, this is the answer he handed in! ——
I didn't expect to write so much again!
I originally wanted to end this game with 5,000 words, but as I wrote, I found that 5,000 words could not fully achieve the effect I wanted. As a result, it was more than 6,000, and it was too late...
Please beg for a monthly ticket!
