Saturday night

Reebok Stadium

Bolton and Manchester United's sixth round of the Premier League kicked off in the much-anticipated.

The attention of this game cannot be compared with the Double Reds, but due to the defeat of Chelsea, the attention of Bolton and Manchester United has also increased suddenly.

Reebok Stadium can only accommodate 28,000 fans, but there are no fewer than 4,000 Korean and Chinese fans in the stands. Korean fans are the majority. They all want to witness Park Ji-sung and Li Qinglong's Korean derby.

But what makes South Korean fans sad is that Park Ji-sung sits on the bench and they can only focus on the Asian derby between Gao Xiaodong and Li Qinglong.

Before the battle between Chelsea and Manchester City, Ferguson had planned to put Scholes on the bench and let Gao Xiaodong lead the team against Bolton, but seeing Chelsea lose, Ferguson immediately changed his mind and let Scholes play. Together with Gao Xiaodong, he will go all out to attack the Reebok Stadium.

After the opening, Manchester United took a five-game winning streak and attacked the main goal, launching a fierce attack on the home team Bolton.

Bolton last season? Coyle successfully led the team to relegation and won the trust of the team. This season, Bolton did not make a big move in the transfer market. He spent 1.6 million pounds to sign left back Marcos from Real Madrid? Alonso, the two veterans Martin Petrov and Blake are exempted from signing. Petrov is the immediate combat power, and Marcos and Blake are the substitutes.

Facing the menacing Manchester United, Coyle was very pragmatic, putting on a defensive counterattack and dealing with Manchester United.

Bolton's style of play is very tough and concise. He likes to fight hand-to-hand with opponents. Instead of entangled with opponents in the midfield, all players hit the opponent's back line with the ball.

Bolton’s style of play makes Manchester United very uncomfortable, because their strongest midfielders Gao Xiaodong and Scholes were double-teamed by five or six opponents in the offense, and they became a display in the defense. Gao Xiaodong As long as he dares to attack, there is no time to return to defense. No matter how fast Gao Xiaodong is, he cannot be faster than Bolton's long pass.

The game lasted for 10 minutes. The game was almost always played at the front of the two penalty areas. Manchester United only had Gao Xiaodong's free shot, and Bolton didn't even have a shot.

In the 11th minute of the game, Scholes was cut off, Bolton defender Wright drove forward with a big kick. Their two forwards, Davis and Elmand, rushed towards Manchester United like two crazy dogs. Defender, scramble for this spot.

Davis and Elmand’s height has no advantage over Manchester United’s two Sri Lankans, but they are accurate in judging the landing point, they run fast and are not afraid of injury. No matter how their opponents rush over, they dare to take the lead. Hit the opponent.

For such a barefoot player who is not afraid of wearing shoes, Vidic has no good tricks. He barely pushed the ball out of the sideline in the fight with Elmand.

Bolton delivered the foul ball very quickly, Memba vigorously threw the foul ball to the front of the penalty area. Davis and Elmand attracted the attention of the defender. Who is the midfielder Holden in the battle with Gao Xiaodong? Without touching the ball, South Korean winger Li Qinglong suddenly hit the middle of the penalty zone and volleyed to the left of the goal.

The shot was very sudden, and Si subconsciously stretched his foot to block, and the ball flew out of the baseline against the goal post.

Evans was scared into a cold sweat after blocking, if he blocked an own goal, he would be the sinner of Manchester United.

Bolton got a corner kick. Manchester United fans are also a little surprised. The opponent's header ability is very strong, and the impact is fierce. Manchester United is not the best central defender combination. If the opponent catches the opportunity, Manchester United will not be able to play behind. Up.

Bolton’s two centre-backs both came to Manchester United’s penalty area to fight for the header. Petrov took the corner kick. There was a crowd in the penalty area. The header ability of both sides was similar. The ball was in Vidic and Elmand’s. Scramble to fall to the small restricted area.

Evans hurriedly tried to get the ball out of the baseline, but Bolton central defender Wright reacted faster. He stretched his leg first and blocked the ball to the goal.

The ball was too close to the goal, Van der Sar had no time to make a move, the ball rolled into the net.

1:0

Bolton central defender Wright took advantage of the corner kick to set the record for Bolton.

"what!"

"Go in!"

"Go in!"

The Bolton fans on the scene jumped up and yelled at the stadium, the roar almost overturned the stadium roof.

"Li Qinglong!"

"Li Qinglong!"

South Korean fans were even more excited, they frantically slapped their seats and shouted Li Qinglong's name.

Although this goal has nothing to do with Li Qinglong, the corner kick that led to this goal was made by Li Qinglong. South Korean fans believe that this goal Li Qinglong contributed the most.

Manchester United fans were stunned. Since the start of the season, Manchester United has played smoothly. Regardless of the strong team or the weak team, Manchester United not only won the victory, but also had the advantage on the scene. There has never been a game like today... awkward.

Manchester United's central midfielder has Gao Xiaodong and Scholes, both offensive and defensive, and the interception and running are very good. The full-backs have Nani and Giggs. It turns out that there is Valencia. The opponents are exhausted and unable to defend.

But today's Bolton play is very different. It is a British-style long pass and a intensive defense. Anyone who grabs the ball will hit Manchester United's defense with one kick. Then the midfielder desperately chases after him and is not in the midfield. Struggling with Manchester United, Manchester United can only rely on their own defensive line of Vidic and Evans to single out Elmand and Davis.

Two defenders against two forwards, even if Elmand and Davis are not in the flow, the defenders are still uncomfortable. Moreover, Elmand and Davis are not weak. Manchester United’s defense line did not give Bolton the opening ten minutes. A chance to shoot, but every impact of Bolton was thrilling. Finally, in 11 minutes, Bolton grabbed a shot and completed the goal.

Sky Sports commentator Martin analyzed: "Manchester United can't attack like this today. They must leave a midfielder in front of the defense. Bolton's attack is too simple. He hit a long pass and Gao Xiaodong didn't have time to defend. , It is better to leave Scholes in front and Gao Xiaodong chooses the opportunity to attack. Or when Gao Xiaodong inserts an assist, the full-back or full-back stays behind to make up the defense. Now Manchester United's full-back Nani is better than Gao Xiaodong Still forward, Giggs did not have the physical strength and speed to return to the defense. Evra was stronger offensively than defensively. After O'Shea went to the center, he did not have the speed to return to the wing. For Ferguson, this was a problem."

Ferguson has also noticed this problem a long time ago. Bolton has always been in this style. Ferguson knows very well that today Gao Xiaodong’s chances of pressing ahead are actually less than those in the previous games. It’s just that Bolton is in very good shape today and the long pass is accurate. The forward has a good header, so it caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United.

However, Ferguson could not let Gao Xiaodong stay in the defensive midfielder position, because Scholes was not a force type, and he was left alone in Bolton's half court. According to today's referee's judgment, Scholes could be grabbed by Bolton. Doubt about life.

But neither Nani nor Giggs can make up for Gao Xiaodong's back. They don't have this defensive ability, but they can't change players at this time. How should they deal with the opponent's attack mode?

Ferguson is worthy of being an old battlefield. After thinking about it, he immediately made adjustments. Scholes and Gao Xiaodong changed positions, Jiang retreated to the back midfielder to defend, Gao Xiaodong headed to the frontcourt to organize the attack.

Gao Xiaodong has a strong body to protect the ball forward, and he has speed to make up the defense. Although Scholes's defense is not as good as Gao Xiaodong, Bolton's attacking power is also limited. He is a shot point behind, Wei Ditch and Evans are much easier to play.

Ferguson’s on-the-spot response is very beautiful. After Gao Xiaodong and Scholes reversed their positions, Bolton’s long pass was immediately misfired, but Manchester United’s offense did not drop too much, and the initiative on the field soon returned. Manchester United's side. 8)
