Football: Opening sign-in reactionary kick quick cannon

The game time kept flowing. Although Manchester United's frontcourt offensive system was much smoother after Wilson replaced Rooney, Manchester United still failed to change the score.

At the same time, after Southampton had stabilized its own defense, they also wanted to take advantage of Manchester United's transition between offense and defense. Mane and Pellet in their team kept cruising around the center circle looking for opportunities to counterattack. In front of the benches of both teams, the head coaches all looked at the situation on the field with serious faces, and the assistant coaches around them covered their mouths and kept reporting the various data.

……

Sky Sports, UK.

Former Manchester United star Jock Dwight is discussing his views on the game with the host.

"I think there is a high probability that the two sides will draw in this game. Although Manchester United's offense has improved to a certain extent, the Saints' defense is still rock solid."

"The double central defender system of Jose and Maya Yoshida showed good unity in this game. Neither Rooney, Falcao nor Wilson could get past them to threaten the goal."The host said

"No, no, no……"York obviously disagreed with the host's point of view. He stared at the screen and shook his finger gently, expressing his point of view.

"Manchester United's double center forwards seemed to be responsible for finishing the attack, that is, completing the shooting task, but Manchester United's frontcourt offensive core - Chen Huan, was not well restricted by the Saints."

At this time, on the court, Chen Huan once again used a combination of running and speed to get rid of Steven Davis who was defending him one-on-one, and then received a pass from Ashley Young.

Then Chen Huan once again passed the ball to Wilson's feet, who protected the ball with his back, and then passed the ball to Chen Huan's feet again before Chen Huan came forward.

Chen Huan shot directly at the top of the arc without stopping the ball. The football drew an arc in the air and slid out along the right post of the goal.

"It was a good chance, but Chen was too focused on the angle of the shot, so the shot went off the crossbar.

York continued to analyze:"But this is what I just said, Chen's long-range shooting ability makes him very threatening outside the penalty area. If Southampton keeps giving Chen space for long-range shooting, then he will not be far from scoring or making assists."

……

The game reached the 80th minute. With a few minutes of stoppage time, there was only 15 minutes left for both teams.

At this moment, the physical fitness of the players of both teams began to gradually deteriorate.

So when Manchester United lost control of the ball in the 83rd minute and the ball was cleared out of the sideline, Southampton requested a substitution.

"No. 42 Hesketh replaced No. 11 Tadic, and No. 24 Mayuka replaced No. 7 Sean Long."

The Saints took the initiative to replace two starting players who are good at attacking.

After the two substitutes came on the field, they made a"defend" gesture to their teammates.

"Puel wants a draw."Manchester United’s chief assistant coach Davis told Van Gaal

"I understand."Van Gaal frowned and nodded slightly.

In the Premier League or other five major leagues, the survival rules of the giants, traditional strong teams and ordinary teams are completely different.

The giants naturally want to win every league and European Cup game, which is conducive to their competition for the league championship and advancing to the finals in the cup.

The traditional strong teams strive to win the games that should be won on paper. When facing strong teams, they may take the initiative to give up some games, strive to win the games against teams that are not as strong as themselves on paper, and at the same time ensure the team's competitiveness in the league.

Ordinary teams are even more miserable. What they have to do is to do their best to avoid relegation with limited funds for signings. Their tactical strategies are mostly based on defensive counterattacks and buses.

Of course, in a league like Serie A that has the"defense-oriented" gene, most of their teams are good at defense.

At this moment, Southampton coach Puel replaced two players who can provide assistance on the offensive end with players who are physically fit but inexperienced, just to rely on the running ability brought by the physical advantage of the new force to make more contributions to the team's defense.

"Boss, should we change our players to strengthen our team?……"Davis' voice became smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared.

At this moment, as the bench of Manchester United was full of old and young players, almost no one could adjust to play.

"Believe in the ability of the players on the field." Van Gaal put his finger in his mouth and blew the whistle hard. When the Manchester United players on the field turned around and looked at him, Van Gaal pointed his finger hard at the Southampton goal.

Continue to attack

……

Rooney sat on the bench with his hands spread out to cover his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.

He watched the figure in Manchester United's iconic red jersey running around on the field, and suddenly felt mixed emotions in his heart.

Rooney didn't continue watching, he also buried his eyes under his palms

……

The game passed second by second. Except for the center forward Pellet, all other Southampton players on the field retreated to their own half.

When they had the opportunity to control the ball, they would not choose to risk passing the ball, but try their best to kick the ball to the far end or out of bounds.

They were using their own methods to break up the game, making it impossible for Manchester United's offense to be as smooth and coherent as a rolling tide. In the

89th minute of the game, Manchester United's right center back McNair suddenly fell to the ground.

The Southampton player holding the ball kicked the ball out of the field.

"One point is good, Manchester United can't hold on any longer." Southampton's captain Jose Fonte looked at McNair lying on the ground from a distance, wiped the sweat off his face and said to Yoshida Masako beside him.

"Captain, we can't relax. When we played against the Dragon National Team, Chen Huan scored the winning goal in the extra time."Yoshida Maya said very seriously.

Jose nodded and shouted to his teammates:"Did you hear what Yoshida Maya said? Cheer up!"

"Got it, Captain." The players responded loudly, but they didn't take it seriously.

It was because the players of Manchester United had almost exhausted their energy and nothing could happen.

……

Manchester United players and coaches were all worried about McNair's physical condition. After confirming that he was just suffering from cramps due to fatigue, he recovered after a few simple adjustments.

Manchester United also took the initiative to return the ball to Southampton.

The fourth official on the sidelines raised the light card in his hand at this time.

"Three minutes of added time."
