Football King Bale

Ferguson was sitting on the coach's bench with a relaxed expression. He had no problem winning the game.

Ferguson then continued to mobilize his troops and punish generals. In the 77th minute of the game, Ferguson used up the team's three substitutions. He replaced Pogba with Korean Park Ji-sung, and replaced Kante with Scholes, who performed well in the game. Finally, Ashley Young replaced captain Bell on the field.

The departure of Bell and the two young men drew cheers and applause from the stands at Old Trafford.

Bell and two young players Pogba and Kante were replaced, but Manchester United's goal was not over.

The Korean who came on the bench was very active. His physical running made Brighton's defense uncomfortable, and he soon received a yellow card from Park Ji-sung.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Scholes passed the ball through. Park Ji-sung's shot was saved by the goalkeeper. Manchester United got a corner kick. Ashley Young took the corner kick and substitute Scholes jumped high. From there, the header hit.

"Goooooooal!"

"7:0! Scholes scored for Manchester United. They are now 7:0 ahead of Brighton. What an amazing score!"

…

………………

In the end, the result of this game was 7:0. Manchester United slaughtered Brighton with seven goals at home and broke into the quarterfinals of this season's FA Cup.

Kanter, a young player who started for the first time in Manchester United's main game, performed very well. He built a wall in front of Manchester United's back line, so that Brighton did not pose any threat to Manchester United's defense at all.

Kante's outstanding performance has also temporarily dispelled Manchester United fans' doubts about the performance and abilities of these young people. They are now very surprised and amazed by Ferguson's vision of people.

Several other young people who have won the starting lineup have already had a lot of opportunities to play before, and their performance in this game was also satisfactory.

This game also made the British media lament the strength of Manchester United. It is simply terrifying that such a Manchester United, which plays almost all substitutes, can massacre the teams in the middle and upper reaches of the British Championship.

However, after all, this was just a knockout match in the top 16 of the FA Cup, which caused some repercussions in the UK. Outside the UK, few people paid attention to the game.

The Manchester United people themselves didn't care much about the result of this game, and they quickly got into preparations for the next game.

Manchester United successfully advanced, but as the FA Cup is a hotbed of upsets, there are also many upsets in this round.

The biggest upset was Arsenal's 0:2 away defeat to Black Cat Sunderland. After losing 0:4 in the first leg of the Champions League in midweek and almost being eliminated, Arsenal was once again eliminated from the FA Cup. Coupled with the fact that they have already been eliminated from the League Cup, and are 27 points behind the leader Manchester United after 25 rounds, and the only theoretical possibility of winning the Premier League, Arsenal is destined to lose all four majors this season.

In addition, Chelsea was held to a 1:1 home draw by Championship team Birmingham, Canary Norwich City lost 1:2 at home to Championship team Leicester City, and Tottenham were defeated by League One team Stevenage Qi's 0:0 draw was neither a big nor a small upset.

There were 8 games in total, but 4 were upsets. The FA Cup is indeed a hotbed of upsets!

The draw for the quarter-finals took place quickly, and Manchester United had average luck and was drawn into the mid-table Sky City of the Premier League, Stoke City. The other three games are Everton versus Sunderland, the winner of the rematch between Chelsea and Birmingham versus Leicester City, and the winner of the rematch between Tottenham and Stevenage versus Bolton, with the games taking place in mid-March.

………………

A week later, Manchester United ushered in the 26th round of the Premier League.

Go away to challenge Canary Norwich.

In this game, Manchester United was stubbornly blocked by Norwich. Although they are a newly promoted team, the Canaries have performed well this season and are currently ranked 8th in the Premier League. In the first round of the match between the two sides, Norwich only lost two goals at Old Trafford. Compared to Manchester United's Premier League games this season In terms of an average goal rate of 3.64 goals, it is already very successful.

Bell received constant personal service from Norwich's defensive players. His performance throughout the game was average and he had only one assist. In the 7th minute, Manchester United continued to pass and receive the ball. Bell made a pass from the ribs. Hernandez failed to shoot from the front and missed the ball. Scholes easily scored with a header at close range without interference. He scored his 152nd club goal, and Bell also received his 12th assist in the Premier League this season.

In the 80th minute of the game, Ferguson replaced Bale with Nani.

In the 83rd minute, Norwich's right corner kick was cleared by Manchester United and then organized. Drewry lobbed the ball with Whitbread's header. Holt relied on Ferdinand's left foot to volley into the upper left corner and scored. equalize the score.

………………

Just when people thought that Manchester United was about to usher in its second draw and third loss of points in the league this season, Manchester United scored the winning goal at the last moment.

In the 2nd minute of stoppage time, Ashley Young made a cross from the left wing of the frontcourt, and Giggs shot from a close angle with the outside of his left foot at the far post to stage a stoppage-time winner.

In April 1951, MacArthur left a classic sentence in his speech: "A veteran never dies, he just fades away quietly." However, when applied to Giggs, perhaps it would be more appropriate to change the second half of the sentence to "He is still in full bloom." .

In his 900th game in a Manchester United shirt and his 500th Premier League start, he staged a stoppage-time winner. For Manchester United, this is a fairy tale that has lasted for 21 years and has not yet ended. For Giger, For Si, this is the reward he deserves for his loyalty to this club. Calling it a legend may not be enough to express this football legend, because Giggs has surpassed the legend.

From signing with Manchester United as a schoolboy on November 23, 1987, to receiving a professional player contract on November 29, 1990, and then completing his career in the game against Everton on March 2, 1991 (7666 days ago) The debut of Manchester United's first team, every page of Giggs' "Old Almanac" made the younger generations stunned. Of course, everyone who played alongside him also respected him, such as Dennis Evans. Said: "It is incredible for Giggs to stay in a giant club like Manchester United for so long. His extraordinary talent and perseverance will be the benchmark for Manchester United to select players in the future. His wind-like speed and superb ball control The skills are extraordinary and Manchester United needs such legendary players."

If you only use boring numbers to create a legend, it will obviously greatly underestimate Giggs' career. Today's game against Norwich allowed us to witness how "live" he is. In the 6th minute of the opening game, Giggs completed the first shot of the two teams with a volley. In the 72nd minute, when When the crossbar blocked the advance shot of "Wong Lao Kat", people thought it was God's will, but little did they know that this was just setting the stage for an extremely exciting drama.

The 1:1 score here will double the pressure Manchester City feels. This is obviously not what Giggs wants to see. For his rival in the same city who had "contributed" to his first career goal, the Welshman's use of psychological warfare was no less than Ferguson's.

Before the game started, Giggs said in an interview with reporters: "I think Manchester City people will feel that they still have a chance, although they are 13 points behind us, but our experience and hunger for the championship are perfectly combined. . We have experienced old players and young guys who have never tasted a championship. They are full of desire, so we also have hope."

Of course Giggs is not the kind of person who only talks. When the game reached 91 minutes and 6 seconds, after Ashley Young sent a cross from the left, a figure appeared near the far post. Remember that the instep of the left foot ejected, which changed the outcome of the game in just that moment.

Giggs, who has scored goals in 20 consecutive Premier League seasons, has contributed 163 goals to Manchester United, ranking 8th in the club on par with his former comrade Mark Hughes. Among them, 107 Premier League goals are second only to Rooney. .

This weekend, the focus of England is on two other games, one is the League Cup final, and the other is the North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham.

The League Cup final kicked off at 4pm local time in the UK at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, with Liverpool drawing 2:2 with Cardiff in 120 minutes.

In the penalty shootout, Liverpool finally won 3:2 and won the League Cup this season, thus ending the embarrassment of six years without a championship.

Before the start of the League Cup final between Liverpool and Cardiff City, the much-watched North London derby has ended.

Before this game, the outside world was generally optimistic that Tottenham would win the game. Even Henry said frankly: "We have been used to leading Tottenham and leaving them behind for many years, but this is different from the past. Today's situation It’s completely the other way around.”

Once Tottenham really wins, it will be the first time Arsenal has suffered a double defeat from Tottenham in a single season since 1993.

Arsenal must win, but no one would have thought that they would be able to avenge their away defeat in the first leg of this season and last season's home defeat in such a way.

From 0:2 to 5:2, it only took 31 minutes for the Gunners to complete the shocking reversal. Because this scene is too similar to Manchester United's 5:2 home victory over Tottenham on April 26, 2009. Both teams fell behind by 2 goals and then completed a 5-goal comeback. Therefore, the British media generally believed after the game that from today You can see the long-lost bloodiness in this Arsenal team, and it has a very similar temperament to Manchester United.

Despite Arsenal's poor record this season, reverse wins have happened many times. Then the second leg of the Champions League showdown with Milan later will be worth looking forward to.

It is true that Arsenal did suffer a 0:4 defeat in the first leg away from home and it was the team's biggest defeat in the European competition in the past 56 years. In the past 56 years, no team in the history of the European competition has been able to achieve a 0-0 defeat in the first round of the knockout round: 4 After losing, come back and advance in the second round. This iron law has been verified 167 times.

But having said that, records exist to be broken. Since Arsenal can create a miracle of reversal in the North London Derby today, who has any reason to doubt that the Gunners can't turn the tide in the Champions League?
