Chapter 368 The mainstay

At the start of the second half, Manchester United was unexpectedly overtaken by Newcastle, which had a considerable impact on the Manchester United players. It has been too long since they have experienced such a situation of being reversed by their opponents with two consecutive goals while leading the score. Therefore, many Manchester United players were confused for a while and did not know how to play the game.

Although Bell was actively greeting his teammates, there was no good effect. In desperation, Bell had to call on the Manchester United players to retreat, because at this time, Newcastle, who had scored two goals in a row, was attacking very fiercely amidst the cheers of nearly 50,000 fans at home. In addition, Manchester United's position was unstable, Bell was worried. If Newcastle scores another goal in a short period of time, Manchester United may really collapse.

Not only is Bell making changes to Manchester United's playing style on the court, but Ferguson is also seeking changes on the sidelines. When the game reached the 57th minute, Ferguson saw that Manchester United was playing very passively on the court and made the first personnel adjustment of the game. He replaced Berbatov with the young Welbeck. The dashing brother had poor running ability. Characteristics, not suitable for Manchester United's situation on the field at the moment.

This substitution adjustment still had some effect. In the 58th minute, Nani passed the ball from the right, and Welbeck followed the trend with his heel. However, Rooney's shot 6 meters away from the goal was miraculously blocked by Simpson in front of the goal line. Welbeck's baseline There was another pass from nearby, but there was no Manchester United player near where the ball landed, so it was cleared by a Newcastle player and went to the sideline first.

Manchester United sent a ball from the frontcourt, and Evra kicked the ball to Bell. Bell broke through Newcastle's defense with the ball, but the cross he then sent, the players outflanking Manchester United in the middle were unable to catch up.

………………

After replacing Welbeck, although Manchester United's situation improved, they were still unable to score a goal to equalize the score. Therefore, in the 65th minute of the game, Ferguson made another personnel adjustment and replaced Hernandez. Veteran Giggs, Manchester United changed 433.

Ferguson's substitution conveyed to the players his intention to win the game. At least Manchester United must ensure a draw.

After completing the second substitution, Manchester United launched a counterattack on the court. Bell could no longer defend at this time. If they could not score in the remaining 20 minutes of the game, then Manchester United would definitely lose.

Since we are losing, is there any difference whether we lose one or two?

In the 70th minute of the game, Newcastle attacked Manchester United's half. When trying to pass the ball into the penalty area, Ferdinand completed a beautiful defense and intercepted the ball.

Carrick took the ball on the left, quickly moved forward, and made a long pass, quickly sending the ball behind the Newcastle defense.

Bale quickly jumped out between Newcastle's right back and right centre-back.

Chasing the ball at great speed.

Newcastle's defender raised his hand to indicate offside, but the referee did not blow the whistle!

………………

This is a quick counterattack from Manchester United!

Bell slanted into the left side of the top area of ​​the arc, caught up with the ball and entered the penalty area.

At this time, Newcastle's central defender Williamson chased all the way into the penalty area and blocked Bell's shooting line in the right corner of the small penalty area.

For a time, a one-on-two situation formed in Newcastle's penalty area, and Bell faced Newcastle's two central defenders alone.

Bell is very aware of his situation at this moment. Newcastle's other central defender Coloccini is a little behind Williamson, but as long as he stops and cuts inside, he can immediately help defend and block all his shots. angle.

The two players cooperated well defensively, and coupled with the positioning of the goalkeeper behind him, Bell actually had very few options.

But at Bell's current level, even if there is no angle, he still has to rely on his personal ability to forcefully create a passage!

When they were one-on-one in the left corner of the small penalty area, Bell suddenly stopped, pretending to smash the ball inward and hit the goal with his right foot. This caused Williamson to make an emergency stop, adjust his center of gravity, and rush to block the ball. Even his teammate behind him, Coloccini, immediately rushed forward to help defend.

Everything was as Bell expected, and the two of them cooperated very well.

But at this moment, Bell's right foot kicked the ground hard and his body quickly turned to the left.

………………

Williamson felt the figure in front of him flicker, and a flash of lightning flashed in his mind: The pendulum passed!

Bell quickly smashed the ball from inside to the baseline. In an extremely narrow area of ​​​​the penalty area, in a very short moment, he used his own fake action to force a trace of Williamson's right side, which was Bell's left side, to appear. Silk loopholes.

If Bale can only use his right foot, then this little loophole is useless to him. However, Bell's left foot is more powerful than his right foot, and his left foot is his trump card!

After passing Williamson, Bell spotted the gap between the goalkeeper and the left post of the goal and quickly volleyed with his left foot!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!"

"The goal is scored!!! In the 71st minute, Manchester United equalized the score!"

"Bell relied on his personal ability to play with two central defenders and the goalkeeper in Newcastle's penalty area. This is a very high-level goal that fully reflects Bell's outstanding personal ability."

"Whether it was receiving Carrick's long pass or the pendulum pass during the subsequent dribbling process, Bell's entire movement was seamlessly connected."

"I believe that at this moment, fans who have been paying attention to Bell's growth in the past two or three years will be very emotional. I still remember that two years ago, the most criticized thing was his stopping the ball, but now, he not only makes up for it He took advantage of his shortcomings and turned stopping the ball into his major advantage. In just two years, Bell's progress has been so rapid."

"In the first half, he helped the team score in the first eleven minutes when Manchester United was passive. However, Manchester United's central defender Ferdinand made a mistake and Demba Ba seized the opportunity and fired a shot near the penalty spot to equalize. Got the score.”

"At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United players once again showed a lack of concentration. Nani's irresponsible backpass was caught by Newcastle. Phil Jones took the blame for Nani. Although he stopped Newcastle's attack, he He also received a yellow card and gave Newcastle a well-positioned free kick. Newcastle seized this opportunity and Cabaye scored a direct free kick into Manchester United's goal!"

"But now, Bale steps forward again and scores his 31st league goal of the season!"

"He scored 31 goals in 18 Premier League games. Bale's performance is really crazy!"

………………

Manchester United's morale was boosted after the equalizer.

At this time, a draw could no longer satisfy Manchester United. They hoped to bring back a victory in the first game of the new year.

Ferguson's thoughts are the same as those of the Manchester United players. He also hopes to win this game. So, in the 75th minute of the game, he played the third and final card of the game: Sneijder replaced Rooney, who performed very poorly in this game!

The last round of the league coincided with Ferguson's 70th birthday, but Rooney was not even included in the squad. The club's official statement was that the injury caused the training to be abnormal. However, in the following two days, the English media still revealed the reason. The England forward and Evans, Gibson violated team rules by eating dinner and was fined a week's suspension plus salary deduction.

In today's game against Newcastle, although Ferguson said that Rooney was "recovered" from his injury, whether it was due to an unbalanced mentality due to punishment or poor training, Rooney was not at all in shape. In the 22nd minute, Bell made a wonderful pass behind him. Rooney had already turned offside and got rid of the defense, but he was too hesitant to handle the ball in the penalty area. He didn't even stop the ball and let the ball bounce directly into the goalkeeper's arms.

It's rare to see Rooney make so many mistakes. Many of the balls seemed out of his depth, and his running response was not ideal. In the 24th minute, he turned his back to the goal and directly stopped the ball. In the 38th minute, Rooney received a pass from Giggs again but chased the ball. He stopped midway and missed the opportunity. In the 47th minute, Rooney stopped the ball improperly and was intercepted by Coloccini. As a result, he turned around and tackled the former Argentina international, which attracted a round of boos from Newcastle fans.

Newcastle has been Manchester United's "cash machine" for many years. Rooney has played a total of 17 times against the Magpies in his career, with 11 wins, 5 draws and only 1 loss. He also has 10 goals and 4 assists, which is second only to scoring 12 goals. Outside of Arsenal and Portsmouth, Rooney has scored the most goals against his opponents.

In the 57th minute, Rooney almost continued this record. Welbeck passed Nani's pass to Xiaopang. Manchester United's No. 10 pushed the shot past Krul's fingers from close range, but unfortunately Simpson blocked the ball in front of the goal line. out.

The former Red Devils player didn't react that quickly, it was just a subconscious move, but Rooney hit the opponent's body just in time.

If this goal is scored, Manchester United can tie the score to 2:2, and then Bell's goal will be the go-ahead score. It is not impossible for Manchester United to make a big comeback like Real Madrid yesterday.

However, Rooney failed to seize the opportunity and there was no possibility of redemption. It was rare for the Red Devils' No. 10 and No. 9 to start together, and there was no subtle coordination. Ferguson was obviously dissatisfied with Rooney's performance and quickly replaced him.

After Rooney came off the field, Manchester United once again returned to the traditional 442 formation, and Bell also returned to his most familiar left midfield position.

In the next 15 minutes of the game, Manchester United's midfielder, under the control of Carrick and Sneijder, suppressed Newcastle's onslaught. However, Manchester United has been unable to score a goal to reverse the score.

Newcastle concentrated its main defensive efforts on the left, which made it difficult for Bell to find opportunities. Although Manchester United turned around and launched an attack from the right, Nani's condition today was no better than Rooney and Berbatov. However, he also liked to shoot, and as a result, he sent the ball to the stands of Newcastle fans again and again.
