Super Marshal

When Cristiano Ronaldo scored against Manchester United and rushed out of the stadium to celebrate, Ferguson helplessly spread his hands in front of the home team's coach's bench and cursed angrily.

But no one knows who he is scolding?

Was it Cristiano Ronaldo who scored the goal? Ben Foster who fumbled the ball? Or Ferdinand who doesn't defend well?

Ben Foster's ability is not enough to be the main goalkeeper of Manchester United. Ferguson knew it from the beginning, but he believed that the goalkeeper was still young and given the opportunity to practice, he would definitely be able to become a great player, especially after watching him in Walter. After Ford and the League Cup performance, Ferguson became even more determined on this point.

But sometimes, for a team like Manchester United, there is a price to pay for developing young players.

Van der Sar is in such good form, how could Manchester United leave him alone and support Ben Foster to take over?

For the sake of performance, Van der Sar always occupied the main position. Foster had no chance to practice in the game, and his competitive state was gradually abandoned. Even his confidence was gradually eroded, causing him to worry about gains and losses in the game.

Ferdinand, too, would have a twitch from time to time.

Not to mention the back pass at the beginning, just the steal by Benzema just now, doesn't he have any responsibility?

Ben Foster's misjudgment was indeed the main reason, but should Ferdinand have reminded the goalkeeper of Benzema's movements in time? But does he? He ran into the penalty area and stopped moving, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Ferguson also knew what the problem was.

Gary Neville is retiring. The two vice-captains in the team, Giggs and Ferdinand, have the opportunity to take over the armband. Giggs is also not young. Logically speaking, Ferdinand should take over, but he is not stable enough. How can people rest assured?

What's even more complicated is that Rooney is now making a clear request, hoping to renew his contract and serve as team captain.

It can be said that this incident has caused a lot of opinions within the team, and Ferguson himself is also the leader.

"I conceded the ball in two minutes, do I still have a choice?" Ferguson looked at Gao Han in front of the visiting team's coaching bench and said to himself coldly.

In fact, he had already made his choice before the game even started.

…………

…………

After conceding a goal, Manchester United launched a crazy counterattack.

Ferguson deployed a 4321 formation in this game. The goalkeeper is Foster, the defense is Leighton Barnes, Pepe, Ferdinand and O'Shea, and the three deep-lying players in the midfield are Matic. , Carrick and Fletcher, Giggs and Tevez in the frontcourt, and Rooney as the forward forward.

It is not difficult to see from Ferguson's formation that the Red Devils made it clear in this game that they will fight Manchester City to the end.

Sure enough, the crazy counterattack of the Red Devils put pressure on Manchester City in the away game, especially in the midfield.

It can be said that both teams played mercilessly and did not hold back at all.

Manchester City attacked from the start, and Manchester United fought back desperately after losing the ball.

The game was very intense, and the two teams played a very fast-paced attack.

Until the fourteenth minute, after Tevez intercepted the ball in the frontcourt, Giggs launched a counterattack on the spot, passed behind him, and assisted Rooney to penetrate the penalty area and score, leveling the score for Manchester United.

This goal also rekindled the morale of the Old Trafford Stadium. All the Red Devils fans cheered wildly and cheered for the players in the stadium.

But what is strange is that after the tie, the two teams played in a stalemate.

Manchester City kept trying to control the ball, but Manchester United kept destroying Manchester City's passing and controlling, especially the three deep-lying midfielders, which made Manchester City's midfielder very uncomfortable, and the passing and controlling play could not unfold smoothly. .

Gao Han was not anxious about this at all, and spent time with Manchester United slowly.

The two sides finally ended the first half with a score of one to one.

But in the second half, after changing sides and fighting again, Manchester City suddenly launched another round of attacks, especially since the overall formation was very high.

After Gao Han saw the team successfully suppressing Manchester United from the sidelines, he used all his skill cards at once to launch a wave of indiscriminate bombardment against Manchester United, and soon achieved miraculous results on the court.

In the 49th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball from the left and cut inside. David Silva suddenly inserted into the left wing. After receiving the Portuguese's heel knock, he passed the ball diagonally with his left foot to the back. Sanchez inserted in the back row. Up, he volleyed with his right foot and penetrated Manchester United's goal again, exceeding the score again, 2 to 1.

Just two minutes later, David Silva passed the ball from the left rib, and Pepe flew to clear it. However, from the outside of the penalty area, Modric's long-range curve ball shot was slightly higher than the goal.

Just a minute later, Modric passed the ball and Cristiano Ronaldo hit the goal from the left rib. The ball was saved by Ben Foster, but Benzema who followed up missed the shot and made a missed shot, giving Manchester City the score. Expanded to three to one.

With two goals scored in a row, Manchester City is unstoppable.

But at the critical moment, Manchester United quickly counterattacked.

Carrick launched a counterattack with a long pass. After Tevez won the ball first, he attacked in the middle and distributed the ball to the left. Giggs' curved ball hit the goal and hit the dead corner, winning a goal back for Manchester United, two to three. .

After an exciting battle in the first ten minutes of the second half, the two sides fell into a stalemate again.

But this time, Manchester City controlled the ball smoothly.

Gao Han clearly realized that Manchester United's physical energy had been almost exhausted.

Especially after the 65th minute, Manchester United's situation on the field was even more at a disadvantage.

Although the Red Devils were very high-spirited and tenacious, they continued to fight fatigue and consumed a huge amount of physical energy. Especially the main starting lineup of the team was exhausted.

Ferguson quickly made his first substitution, replacing Giggs with Park Ji-sung, and Manchester United decisively changed their formation to 4-4-2.

After more than ten minutes of stalemate, Manchester United's defense once again made mistakes that should not have been made.

Ferdinand was interfered by Benzema when he was receiving the ball. As a result, the Frenchman successfully intercepted the ball during the pass. The latter took advantage of the situation and passed the ball diagonally behind Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo came in from the back row and passed through Ferdinand's defense zone at great speed. He successfully countered offside, caught up with the ball and entered the penalty area. He pushed the ball from a small angle and scored, changing the score to 4-2.

This is also the Portuguese who has scored twice in two consecutive games this season!

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal tally suddenly climbed to eight goals, which is amazing.

But Ferguson is not a fuel-saving lamp. After falling behind by two goals, he still refused to be outdone. He quickly replaced substitute forward Owen and Fletcher to strengthen the team's offense.

And the result was exactly Irving. In the 80th minute of the game, when Zabaleta left his position, he entered the Manchester City penalty area from the left rib. After receiving a pass from his teammate, he scored single-handedly, changing the score to 3 to 4.

In the last ten minutes, both sides fought hard, without any mercy.

Ferguson also quickly made his last substitution, replacing Carrick with Anderson, hoping to further strengthen the offense.

Gao Han was unmoved and continued to play according to the starting lineup.

Until the 86th minute, Modric advanced with the ball in the middle. Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung fouled from behind and was shown a yellow card by the referee. It also gave Manchester City a chance to take a free kick in the frontcourt.

Cristiano Ronaldo personally took the penalty, and with a wonderful falling ball, he calmly sent the ball into Foster's goal, completing a hat trick!

The moment he saw Cristiano Ronaldo score from a direct free kick, Gao Han rushed out of the coaching area excitedly, waving his right fist vigorously and shouting loudly.

After scoring his first career Premier League hat-trick, Cristiano Ronaldo rushed out of the field crazily, rushed directly to the sidelines, and picked up Gao Han as he rushed out of the coaching area.

"Oh my God, a hat-trick!"

"This is the first hat-trick of the Premier League season, from Manchester City's number seven, Cristiano Ronaldo."

"Let's congratulate Cristiano Ronaldo, his performance in this game was really brilliant."

"We can see that he and head coach Gao Han hugged each other tightly, and the Manchester City players surrounding them also tightly surrounded them. Everyone looked extremely excited."

"It was truly a memorable game."

"Manchester City just defeated Arsenal 4-1 at the City Stadium, and after a week's rest, Blue Moon temporarily leads Manchester United 5-3 away from home. The cold team performed shockingly in two consecutive rounds. attack power."

"And in these two rounds of outbreaks, Cristiano Ronaldo undoubtedly played a decisive role."

"Manchester City scored nine goals in the two rounds, Cristiano Ronaldo scored five, and the performances of attacking players such as Benzema, Sanchez and Sturridge also left a deep impression, especially Benzema."

"We can see that under Gao Han's training, the French genius has not only scored a lot of goals this season, but his assist level has also improved rapidly. He has now become an indispensable member of the team."

"Manchester United should reflect on this."

"Since Edwin van der Sar was injured this season, Manchester United's goalkeeper Foster is not reassuring, but what is even more worrying is Ferdinand's performance. Compared with last season, his form has dropped a lot. This It has to be worrying.”

"Judging from the performance of this game, although Manchester City's defense is not completely reassuring, their offensive firepower has been revealed. They have also shown in these two rounds of the league that they have the ability to follow the traditional four Premier League teams. Strong countervailing strength.”

"It is particularly worth noting that Manchester City is still in the running-in period so far. This team, which has broken through the reorganization this season, has not yet achieved all its potential and still has considerable room for improvement. It is especially worth it. What other Premier League teams are shocked to learn is that Brazilian superstar Kaká has not made a single appearance so far.”

"In other words, we definitely have reason to expect that Manchester City will bring greater surprises to everyone in the future."

"Of course, Manchester City has been criticized in the first four rounds, and some media reporters even criticized Gao Han for being a conservative one-to-zero system. Now it has begun to take shape. It scored nine goals in two rounds, which is impressive. Among them, The role of head coach Gao Han is crucial."

"From Atletico Madrid to Chelsea to Inter Milan, and then to Bayern Munich, every team coached by Gao Han has shown the strength to compete in European football. Except for Chelsea, every team has gained success in the hands of Gao Han. It gave birth to new life and laid the foundation for Europe's top teams."

"Now, although it would be too hasty to make judgments based only on Manchester City's performance in these two rounds of strong dialogue, we definitely have reason to expect that under Gao Han's command, Manchester City can become the next top team to compete in Europa. "
