  Although Ye Su had imagined that this game would be very difficult, when the game started, Ye Su realized that the difficulty of the game was still something he hadn't imagined before the game.

   The young Southampton is very active and tough at home. Even if Ye Su had already done his best to send the main players, and let all the main players take turns in the middle of the week, even the players' abilities have been increased to a certain extent, but they have not been able to take advantage of Southampton.

   This Southampton team is more powerful than Ye Su expected.

   In the first minute of the game, Manchester United's goal was tested. Southampton attacked the frontcourt. Wanyama took a long shot from a distance of 25 meters from the goal and hit the ball. Fortunately, De Gea entered the state very quickly and held the ball firmly. Arms.

   Manchester United also quickly returned to color. In the 3rd minute, Manchester United made a free kick through Nani's breakthrough in the frontcourt.

   This free kick was just one step away from the penalty area line, and because it was close to the right wing, Rooney and Mata decided to take the free kick after discussing it with Mata.

   At the same time, Ye Su on the coaching bench quickly removed Mata's dribbling card and replaced it with a free kick card.

Mata’s free kick ability is first-rate in football. With the addition of the free kick card, this free kick is of great quality. After bypassing the Southampton wall, it quickly fell and finally wiped the goal. Zhu flew out of the bottom line.

   Although he didn't score a goal, he still scared Southampton up and down.

   In the 10th minute, Southampton once again threatened Manchester United's goal with a wonderful pass. Full-back Klein inserted the assist and passed the ball to Wanyama near the penalty area. The Kenyan midfielder again took a long shot and the ball went straight to the lower right corner of the Manchester United goal, but still failed to pass De Gea's. Ten fingers off.

  ………………

   You come and I go between the two sides, the offense is wonderful, the defense is beautiful, the scene is very fierce and exciting, but the score has not been rewritten.

   In this kind of high-paced offensive and defensive transition, time passes quickly, and half an hour is about to pass.

   At this time, an unexpected event broke the deadlock on the court.

   In the 28th minute, Manchester United attacked the front court, Mata split the ball to the right and found Nani.

   The Portuguese dribbled the ball along the wing and did not choose to pass the ball in time. As a result, he was intercepted by a Southampton defender.

   The Saints made a quick counterattack, and the French midfielder Schneiderlin made a long pass directly from the midfield to find Lambert on the striker.

   Although Manchester United is attacking, but the defense is still very intact. Two central defenders Vidic and Ferdinand doubled Lambert. Evra, who was not far away, also leaned over, intending to defend the Southampton player who had taken Lambert.

   This trio has cooperated with Manchester United for eight years, and the degree of tacit understanding is extremely high, not to mention that there is now an offside tactical card bonus. In particular, Vidic and Ferdinand have a clear division of labor. Ferdinand pinned Lambert on the side to prevent him from turning around and breaking through, while Vidic took off and competed with the Southampton forward.

   In this way, Vidic and Lambert are inevitably entangled. In the confrontation with the Serbian defender, the Saints forward concealed an elbow hit on the opponent's face. The Serb screamed and fell to the ground.

   Ferdinand and Evra made a serious mistake at this time. They thought the Southampton center had fouled, so Qi Qi protested to the referee and did not grab the ball.

   However, whether it was the linesman or the referee, the protests against Ferdinand and Evra were expressionless, and the game continued. Lambert gave the ball to his midfielder Davis, and then moved forward himself.

   Seeing that the referee didn't say anything, Ferdinand and Evra realized that it was wrong and hurried back to defend. But it was too late. After Davis took two steps forward, he saw Lambert throw away Ferdinand and immediately sent an oblique pass to reach behind Ferdinand.

   Lambert was already in a good offensive position and easily got rid of Ferdinand and got a single-handed opportunity. Facing De Gea's defense, he easily pushed the ball into the Manchester United goal.

   The score on the field became 1:0, with the home team Southampton ahead!

  ………………

   The Southamptonians were celebrating the goal frantically, and the St. Mary's Stadium was full of joy. It is also an honor for them to lead Manchester United at home.

   For Southampton, Manchester United is their nemesis. The two sides have clashed in 113 games in history. Manchester United has an absolute advantage with 59 wins, 29 draws and 25 losses. Among the last 9 games, the "Saints" have 1 draw and 8 losses. The negative gap is not huge, but Manchester United won 7 of the 8 matches at St. Mary's Stadium.

   This season, Manchester United has a poor record. They can take the lead at home and are very likely to win this victory. How does this make them unhappy?

   At the same time, the Manchester United players are surrounding the referees in the field to discuss their opinions.

   At this time, people discovered that Vidic's face was full of blood, but he was hit by Lambert's nose in the elbow in the fight just now, and the blood stained the stadium.

   However, such protests are doomed to be futile. In an era without var, the referee cannot make a change.

   Of course, Manchester United also know that this kind of protest will not have any direct effect, but they can't say nothing. At least, the protest is also a pressure on the referee, allowing him to change the penalty later.

  ………………

   The game restarted quickly. The young Southampton was stimulated by the goal and continued to attack strongly and threatened Manchester United's goal continuously.

   In the 30th minute, Luke Shaw shot away from the target with his left foot. Immediately, Wundt took advantage of the corner kick and was blocked with a header. Lambert shot from a small angle with his left foot and was blocked by the Manchester United defender.

   Manchester United is not easy to provoke, after having survived this wave of attacks in Southampton, they soon returned to their colors with continuous attacks.

In the 32nd minute, Manchester United played a fast attack. Nani made a quick breakthrough along the wing, and then chose to cut in front of the penalty area. Southampton midfielder Jack Kirk had no choice but to foul and was shown a yellow card by the coach. caveat.

   Because this free kick is still on the right, Mata who fits the left foot will take the penalty.

   On the sidelines, Ye Su, who had just finished communicating with the fourth official, quickly switched the free kick card to Mata.

   Mata drove a free kick into the penalty area. With the increase of the free kick card, the Spanish warm man's free kick was extremely accurate, and he comfortably found the Manchester United captain Vidic in the penalty area. Although the Serbian had just stopped bleeding from his nose, he still chose to fly the ball desperately and pushed the ball into the dead corner of the near post.

   Vader, who finished the goal, looked up to the sky and roared, his expression was extremely hideous.

   Obviously, the team's loss a few minutes ago made him very embarrassed. For him, this goal was a kind of emotional release.

   What's more, this is also his curtain call at Manchester United. He can end his dream here with a goal.

   The Manchester United players were also very happy and rushed to Vidic. Ferdinand slapped Vidic's chest with his fists and laughed.

   Ye Su on the sidelines also raised his arms and cheered. The team just lost a ball because of the opponent's intrigue, and he also felt very upset. Then the players were very upbeat, and within five minutes, they evened the score with a beautiful free kick, which was undoubtedly the best response.

  ………………

   The subsequent game became more open and intense.

   In the 34th minute, Manchester United almost surpassed the score. At that time, Manchester United stole Southampton in the midfield and immediately fought back. Ashley Young drove all the way on the left and then sent a high-quality pass.

   Frontcourt, Rooney, Nani and Mata outflanked to follow up. Seeing Ashley Young’s pass, Rooney jumped high, but he felt that his position was not good enough for this ball because he was surrounded by two Southampton defenders. Defensive, so he chose to ferry the header, and saw him gently rubbing the ball and swinging the ball to the back point.

  Nani jumped in at high speed, facing the ball ferryed by Rooney, he bent his bow and shot his arrow, and shot a shot at the edge of the big penalty area. The ball is like a cannonball out of the chamber, whizzing straight to the goal.

   Faced with Nani's powerful shot, Southampton goalkeeper Boruk basically had no reaction. But the ball flew out of the bottom line against the crossbar again.

  Nani looked very upset. He felt very good about this shot. He thought he had made it, but he didn't expect it to be a little bit worse. If he lowered the ball a little bit, the ball would be there.

  ………………

   In the last ten minutes of the first half, although the two sides played very fiercely, they also formed several shots, but they did not cause any more threats.

   It was Vidic who was a little too excited. When facing Lallana's breakthrough, he was sentenced to a blocking foul and received the second yellow card of the game, which was also Manchester United's first yellow card.

   In the first half of the game, the two teams tied 1:1 and entered the half-time break.

   During the intermission, the major media spoke highly of the game. Both sides performed very well and played high-quality offense and defense.

   But most media believe that Manchester United suffered a loss in the game. The Southampton goal was obviously fouled first. The referee and linesman made a clear error in the penalty in that attack. Southampton's goal was non-existent. Even Lambert who elbowed Vidic should have at least received a yellow card.

   However, from the scene, the 1:1 draw is the best embodiment of the first half of the game.
