Chapter 1133

At the start of the second half, United were replaced by young back borgba.

Ferguson's adjustment is mainly due to goalkeeper de GEA's poor ability in handling high balls and long-range shots. Bogba is 1.91 meters tall and can compete for high points with wide defensive coverage, which can help the two centre backs control high balls.

Cleverley's protection and dribbling are excellent, but now United have Gao Xiaodong and Nani on the field, so Cleverley is not needed to do such a thing.

Ferguson's adjustment is very targeted. After bogba came on the court, his height became a barrier at the front of the forbidden area, defused most of West Brom's long back passes, and helped the two centre backs to solve the threat of part of the set pieces.

The defensive line was a little more stable, and Manchester United's attack was sharp.

Gao Xiaodong was still threatening on the left, and Nani, who was quiet in the first half, was also active. He constantly attacked West Brom's right side. After Gao Xiaodong and Nani attracted defense from two sides, Rooney and Berbatov gained space in the middle and frequently attacked the forbidden area by using personal skills. Under the United's three-way joint attack, West Brom's defense ignored one another, He was shot by Manchester United in a row.

In the 50th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong attracted the defense from the left, quickly cut to the middle, and then spread his foot to the right to find Nani.

Nani didn't wait for West Brom's left back to return, so he quickly passed the ball to the bottom.

At the moment, West Brom's back line was still moving, and Rooney found the space. England fat man rushed into the penalty area, jumped high and headed the goal.

Rooney no interference, the top of the ball is very tough, but West Brom goalkeeper foster is very familiar with Rooney's shooting habits, quick reaction, he jumped, hit the ball with his fingertips, the ball flew out of the bottom line close to the post.

The ball is too close! What a pity!

The fans on both sides couldn't help exclaiming.

At present, the score is still 1-1 draw, Manchester United players have no time to regret, they hastened to serve corners, fighting for the fastest time to exceed the score.

Gao Xiaodong sent out a tactical corner to Nani. Nani didn't make a pass. He carried the ball horizontally and tried to hit the goal. However, he was blocked by his opponent continuously and was forced to give it to Vidic in the restricted area.

Nani claimed that he didn't pass the ball. Facing Gao Xiaodong, he often didn't pass the ball. Vidic didn't expect Nani to pass the ball to him. This was a big accident. Vidic subconsciously extended his foot to shove the ball. As a result, he didn't touch the ball, but because of his big action, he strained his thigh.

The ball flew out of the baseline, Vidic fell to the ground and made a painful gesture.

Seeing Vidic injured, Ferguson's psychology is cool. He sent Smalling and Fabio to start because Evra and Rafael are injured. If Vidic is injured again, the position of Manchester United's centre back is in danger.

Ferguson rushed Evans to replace Vidic.

Evans is only 23 years old, Smalling is 21 years old, Fabio is 21 years old, goalkeeper de GEA is 21 years old, only veteran Ferdinand is with him. Manchester United's defensive line is very difficult today, but now it is more dangerous.

West Brom coach Hodgson naturally saw the United problem, he quickly players continue to pass, give up midfield, direct attack Manchester United defense.

Hodgson's idea is good, but although United's back line today is young, three of them are centre backs. They are tall and aware of heading. What they lack is experience and tacit understanding. What they are afraid of is fast short pass penetration. They are not afraid of high-altitude ball, not to mention bogba.

West Brom was frantic with the lob, but the ball was headed by Manchester United's players.

This is the best time to counter attack, but United's midfield Nani does not like to run, Berbatov does not run, Carrick does not run fast, relying on Gao Xiaodong and Rooney alone is difficult to get the top ball to launch a counter attack.

Ferguson saw the problem, he quickly made a replacement adjustment, park Zhixing came on, replaced Berbatov, leaving only Rooney a striker.

Manchester United have a forward, attack down a little, but the midfield of the fight, running and defense is up to a level, the top out of almost 30% of the ball fell into the hands of Manchester United.

In the 67th minute of the game, the ball was snatched by the diligent Park Zhixing, who passed it directly to Gao Xiaodong, and then went forward with Rooney.

After receiving the ball, Gao Xiaodong quickly forward with the ball, straight into the half of West Brom.

West Brom's players are frantically blocking, trying to steal or destroy the ball in the first place.

The idea of West Brom players is good, but Gao Xiaodong wears super glasses, just like having a "God" perspective. The players of West Brom completely blocked Gao Xiaodong's forward line, but Gao Xiaodong hit his heel and accurately passed the ball to Carrick who ran from behind.

Although Carrick is not as famous as Scholes, he also has a beautiful pass. When he receives Gao Xiaodong's pass, he immediately finds Park Zhixing with a long pass.

Park did not offside. He stopped the ball in his chest and hit the side of the penalty area with the ball. He looked at the middle of the area and found that Rooney had inserted between the two West Brom centre backs, so he vigorously crossed the ball to the middle of the penalty area.Park's pass was very accurate. Rooney just arrived and shoved the ball into the net.

The ball was too close to the goal, and foster had no time to react at all. He could only watch the ball roll from his side into the net.

2: 1

Rooney once again broke through the gate of foster.

It is of great significance for Manchester United to finish the goal when the opponent is attacking. Rooney excitedly runs to the stands with his hands up high. Manchester United players also run to Rooney and jump on him to celebrate with him.

Gao Xiaodong didn't assist, but he did a lot. Without his timely transfer, maybe there would be no counterattack.

Sky sports commentator Gary, former Manchester United captain. Neville specially praised Gao Xiaodong, "calm down! Wise! With the most reasonable way to deal with the ball, although Gao Xiaodong did not score, nor assists, he is more and more like the core and soul of the team

After losing the ball, West Brom was more aggressive, but United also got more chances to fight back.

In the 69th minute, Gao Xiaodong passed the ball and park Zhixing shot wide.

In the 72nd minute, Gao Xiaodong scored the ball from the middle and Fabio passed it from the left, but he gave Nani a high-altitude ball. The defenceless Nani used a header he was not good at to attack the goal from 13 yards and the ball missed the goal.

West Brom's attack was no threat, but Manchester United's counterattack was deadly, and the game was about to run for a big score. However, at this time, Manchester United suffered another blow. Ferdinand pulled his thigh when he was released, but Manchester United had used up three substitution places and could only play with 10 players.

At the moment, Manchester United's back line is clear, even the goalkeeper and the back waist are, and they still have one less man to play. At the moment, Manchester United dare not put too much defensive forces into the front court, leaving Rooney alone in the front court, and all the others back to defend.

West Brom felt the opportunity had come, with the exception of the goalkeeper, who had beaten half-time United.

However, after Manchester United contracted, they united and never gave West Brom a good chance to shoot. At the end of the day, Manchester United paid the price of two centre backs to win a 2-1 victory over West Brom and win a very happy start.
