Chapter 971

City's players and fans were stunned and mad.

They were thinking about how to level the score in the second half when Manchester United stole another one at the end of the first half.

"Referee! They broke the rules

"Referee, the ball doesn't count!"

"Johnson! Why don't you stand in the way of that wretch! "

"Is the defence asleep? Didn't you see Nani running

"A bunch of pigs! Don't you look at people? "

……

City's players went to the referee and complained about their teammates. City's fans angrily denounced the players, causing chaos on the pitch and in the stands.

Manchester United's players and fans are also in a mess, but they are happy, the players are crazy hugging, jumping and jumping, even the veteran Scholes also hugged with the young people.

On the sidelines, Ferguson had been racking his brains to think about how to deal with the second half when Manchester United were defending passively. When he had just thought about it, he did not expect that Manchester United would score again.

2: 0 and 1:0 are totally different. When 1:0, you can't defend. The variable is too big. You need to continue to make an issue on the attack. But when 2:0, you can reduce the attack to the minimum. Just pay close attention to the defense.

"This boy, always can let the opponent crazy. "Ferguson looked at the players celebrating on the pitch, couldn't hide his smile and turned back to the dressing room.

In the visiting team's dressing room, Mancini lost his temper.

Even if the first goal, the defense is basically done in place, Gao Xiaodong's snatch, it is difficult for anyone to keep up with, only one ball, Manchester City still have hope, but the second goal is too low-level and fatal.

This is an FA Cup semi-final, a win or lose, half-time behind two goals, almost lost the chance to advance to the final.

This is the only game that Manchester City has a chance to win the championship. It's a half-time loss of hope. How can Mancini explain to the Middle East tycoons who have invested hundreds of millions.

"You are going to die! Do you know who the opponent is? That's Manchester United! It's the cunning Chinese who holds the ball right. Why did he make such a low-level mistake? No one should stop him from quick free kick, and no one should defend Nani. As a professional player, as long as the whistle doesn't blow at the end of the game, he must keep a high degree of vigilance instead of daydreaming... "

This time Mancini got angry and no one contradicted him. Even the most hunky Balotelli kept his head down and didn't speak. In the end, it was wrong for them to miss the goal. They underestimated Gao Xiaodong's attacking instinct and let the opponent score the second goal with ten seconds of distraction.

Mannich took advantage of this opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction with these big name players a few days ago. But now is the most critical moment for the team. It's useless to scold these players to death. In the second half, it's up to them to play football. After the fire, Mannich encouraged: "apart from two goals, we played most of the football in the first half The result is decided by the details. Now it's not the time to despair. There are still 45 minutes left. As long as we can play high-quality games, we still have the chance to advance to the final.... "

Then Mancini pointed out the problems in the first half and adjusted the way he played in the second half.

Manchester City's second goal in the first half was caused by a low-level error. The first one came from the side. Manchester United's other threatening attacks also came from the side. In the second half, Mannich prepared to launch a strong attack from the side to suppress Manchester United's attack and strive for an early goal.

In order to achieve his tactical goal, Mancini also replaced Adam Johnson and Wright Phillips to enhance the flexibility and speed of attacking from the side.

At half-time, Manchester United didn't change players. Ferguson was satisfied with the first half. Although Manchester City suppressed him for a while, the 2-0 score showed that Manchester United still had the ability to fight back. In the second half, Manchester City's attack would be more crazy. At that time, Manchester United would only have more chances to fight back.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City quickly launched an attack from the side, not only two wingers Silva and Wright. Felice two people pressed to Manchester United's forbidden area both sides, Manchester City's two full backs sabareta and Kolarov also assisted the half-time.

Mancini substitution effect is good, Wright Phillips is faster and more flexible than Adam Johnson, and Wright Phillips can also cut in, and can also swap with David Silva.

Manchester United right back O'Shea didn't have any problems with Adam Johnson in the first half, but it was very difficult to deal with Wright Phillips who started fast and changed fast.

At the beginning of the second half, Wright Phillips made a breakthrough from O'Shea's side.

Yaya Toure in the middle of the ball, Wright Phillips catch the ball quickly under the bottom, O'Shea must follow, Wright Phillips suddenly stop, don't wait for O'Shea "brake", Wright Phillips then started, directly O'Shea shake a stagger.

Wright Phillips broke through to the bottom line and made a cross to the penalty area.

The cross is a big threat. The rest of Manchester United's players have not yet returned to the penalty area. There are only two centre backs in the middle to defend Balotelli.

Like the bottom line position of the cross, as long as the small restricted area, the center back easily dare not to break out, the first choice is the card, do not let the opponent steal players touch the ball, there is no way to risk the break out.After being criticized by Mancini at half-time. In the second half, Balotelli and Freddie didn't want to jump in the middle of the pass.

Vidic in the front point, he did not dare to let the ball, Balotelli is behind him, Vidic in the face of the rapid cross over the ball, directly to the ground.

Almost at the same time, Balotelli also shoved his foot. Vidic's leg was touched by Balotelli, and the action of falling to the ground and breaking free was out of shape. Originally, Vidic's foot swung outward when he fell to the ground to tackle the ball, but after Balotelli touched it, the ball almost ran to the goal.

Temovitch is unreliable, too?! Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was shocked. He made a quick save, but the ball flew out of the bottom line close to the post.

Vidic watched the ball go out of the baseline, and his heart fell into his stomach. He was scared and came to comfort him. Ferdinand clapped his high five and quickly called his teammates to defend the corner.

He Huilian, the on-site commentator, called out "dangerous" several times, and then said: "this foot is really dangerous. Wright Phillips has a very flexible breakthrough on the side. O'Shea can't stop him. Ferguson has to change his players as soon as possible."

He Hui is right, but Ferguson can see what he can see, but Fergie did not adjust immediately. He wants to see the tactical changes after Manchester City replaced Wright Phillips, as well as the weaknesses of Wright Phillips, and then make targeted adjustments.

It's not that Ferguson is conservative. Now Manchester United are two goals ahead and have the initiative. Ferguson has enough time to observe and think. Even if he loses the ball, it doesn't matter.

It's too difficult for O'Shea, 30, to defend Shaun Wright Phillips, who is 1.97 meters tall. Manchester City opened a corner and the ball was released. The ball went to Shaun Wright Phillips again.

Wright Phillips changed direction continuously, shaking O'Shea did not dare to follow, Wright Phillips took the opportunity to cut in quickly, and shot vigorously at the front of the big penalty area.

Wright Phillips's shooting power is insufficient, but the accuracy is good, the ball is hanging in the top right corner of the goal.

Van der Sar was in a good position and moved in time. He jumped up and caught the ball in his hands.

Wright Phillips's attack made Ferguson a little restless. He quickly asked Rafael to warm up and prepare to replace O'Shea. At the same time, he asked Valencia to come back to support O'Shea. Don't let O'Shea face Wright Phillips alone.

Valencia's retreat was almost late, and then Wright Phillips passed O'Shea from the baseline. After breaking into the restricted area, he passed back to the top of the restricted area in the inverted triangle. Yaya Toure, who followed, missed the ball under Gao Xiaodong's marking. Barry followed the ball and shot it. Unfortunately, the ball bounced back on the crossbar and was over the bottom line by Vidic.

At this time, Ferguson can't watch any more. He resolutely stopped Rafael's warm-up, let him go on the field to replace O'Shea, and use a more flexible and younger Rafael to defend Wright Phillips.
