Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 592 Europe 2003 The Passionate Old Trafford

Since Woodgate suffered a slight injury in the last game, coupled with Ibrahimovic's suspension, Mourinho's lineup for this game has several position adjustments compared with the previous game. The lineup has also returned to 19, the goalkeeper is still Ji Wen, the right back Kufuor plays in rotation, the center back partner is Lucio and the [-]-year-old Dawson-this is his first time in the Premier League, the left back Bernard, who scored a goal for Manchester United at the Theater of Dreams last year, was sent.

Midfielders Makelele and Nie Fei appear in the middle, Robert and Dyer are on the left and right, and Shearer and Bellamy are the partners of last season. It is worth mentioning that Shearer and Bellamy are on the right The player who scored the remaining two goals in the away game against Manchester United last season-it seems that although Mourinho made the players forget that game, he did not forget it himself, otherwise he would not forget the away game last season. The players who Manchester United scored a goal came in handy.

Manchester United's lineup is only slightly adjusted, goalkeeper Howard, right back Phil Neville, left back O'Shea, center backs Ferdinand and Sylvester, midfielder Djemba replaced the injured Butt and Keane The partner is double defensive midfielder, left midfielder Ryan Giggs, right midfielder Solskjaer, center Scholes, and single striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.

19-year-old Michael Dawson stood in the player tunnel, with nervousness and uneasiness, he kept looking at the man standing behind Manchester United captain Keane.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, 27 years old, is a super shooter who has scored more than [-] league goals for two consecutive years after landing in the Premier League. The one who can score the most goals.

And his target today is this person.

As a rookie who played in the Premier League for the first time, he ran into the defending champion in the first game, and his target was the top scorer-this kind of thing is not something that everyone can encounter.Although Dawson was praised by the media and fans for his youthful maturity and general demeanor when he was in Nottingham Forest, you must know that League One and the Premier League are completely different worlds.

But in the tension, Dawson's heart is also filled with excitement-the Premier League is the Premier League!Basically every game will be a big scene!Dream Theater!Manchester United!With such an opponent, are you afraid that you won't be able to show your worth?

Although leaving Nottingham Forest, where he was born and raised, still made him feel a little uneasy, the current scene made him feel that he seemed to have made a correct decision. How could he personally participate in such a big scene by staying in Nottingham?Although Nottingham Forest has been brilliant, but with their current situation, it is very difficult to re-enter the top league, let alone hit the glory!
"Okay, Michael, don't be too nervous." Dyer patted him on the shoulder. Although he was only five years older than him, Dyer had played four seasons in the league in Newcastle, and he didn't know how much against Manchester United. Once again, naturally he will not be nervous: "Fanny is just a player... You are no worse than him in terms of height, strength and speed. What are you afraid of? And the defensive players will always have a little advantage over the offensive players, even more so. What's more, Lucio will help you fill in... Don't worry, remember what the coach told you? Don't worry about others, keep an eye on Ruud van Nistelrooy, just don't let him disappear from your sight, and the rest of Manchester United from the back row Players who attack will naturally have others to deal with."

"I understand." Dawson nodded: "I will behave well."

**********************************
Mourinho still had a grim face, sitting on the coach's bench with his hands folded, as if he was sure of the game.

In fact, he is not sure. Although Newcastle has several powerful defenders this year, for a defense line, the most important thing is not the individual ability of the players, but the degree of tacit understanding between them-and this , is what Newcastle lacks most now.

The frontcourt offense can still rely on a sudden flash of inspiration from the players to solve the problem, but the backline cannot rely on this. It can only rely on tacit understanding, mutual protection and collective strength.

As for Newcastle's current defense line, there are three rookies, especially the two central defenders who have never cooperated together. Whether they can withstand Manchester United's powerful offense, Mourinho has no idea.

So what he relied on was Newcastle's offense instead.

The problem of Manchester United's defense still exists. After Schmeichel retired, they have not found a reliable goalkeeper. Barthez's low-level mistakes have earned him the reputation of "butter hand". The performance in the first league game was not bad, but Mourinho did not believe that this guy from the United States would be a very good goalkeeper, and in their defense, except for the second captain Neville and the sky-high defender Ferdinand , the other two can only be said to be average in strength. Sylvester is Manchester United's long-term substitute, and O'Shea is a substitute among the substitutes. Compared with Manchester United's talented frontcourt attackers, their defense line can only Said it was second rate.

So Mourinho's tactics for Newcastle can be described as bold, with Dawson staring at Ruud van Nistelrooy, Makelele defending the midfield who may attack, and the two full-backs Kufuor and Bernard defending Manchester United's wings. Gus and Solskjaer adopted one-on-one man-to-man tactics to maximize their personal abilities. In terms of offense, the main offensive points were concentrated on Dyer's right, mainly targeting O'Shea, and striving to lead the field with points. , And then break through Manchester United's entire line of defense!

He has already formulated the tactics. As for the progress of the game, it depends on the performance of the players on the court!

**********************************************
From the very beginning of the game, it entered a fever pitch!
When Manchester United kicked off, Newcastle's midfielders rushed into Manchester United's half immediately, and began to press the frontcourt bravely. Although they were brave, they were not reckless, active, layered, one after another. Push up.

However, any Manchester United player has seen a big scene, and naturally they will not be intimidated by this level of pressing. They still controlled the ball in the midfield. Scholes made a beautiful pass in the middle, and the ball Passed to the feet of Ruud van Nistelrooy on the right side of the penalty area!
Since Dawson did not follow Van Nistelrooy out of the penalty area, Van Nistelrooy easily took a long shot from the corner of the penalty area. Kufuor stretched out his foot to block, but the ball changed direction but still flew towards the goal. Shays flew to save the ball bottom line.

In just 2 minutes of the opening, Manchester United completed an excellent attack.

Giggs took a corner kick, and the Newcastle defenders obviously missed out. O'Shea, who assisted in the frontcourt, was unguarded. He took off in the small penalty area and headed the goal from close range!

The Manchester United fans were about to cheer, when Shay made a wonderful save, a beautiful save from the side, and with a single palm, the ball that was about to fly into the goal was forced out of the bottom line!

The Newcastle fans immediately let out a huge cheer, and the Manchester United fans immediately suppressed their cheers with huge boos: "It's just luck!"

"Fuck your mother!" the Newcastle fans immediately fired back.

Just like the Newcastle fans launched a counterattack, Newcastle, which was continuously suppressed by Manchester United in the opening game, immediately launched a counterattack. Shay took a goal kick, and Kufuor immediately handed the ball to Dyer in front of him. Dyer defended against Giggs. He still took the ball to the frontcourt. After making a beautiful one-two with Nie Fei, he got rid of Giggs, and then passed the ball into the penalty area under the defense of O’Shea. Feinting, Bellamy, who was on the back point, fell in the penalty area under the entanglement of Ferdinand. The referee waved his hand to indicate that there was no foul.

Newcastle fans yelled: "This is a fucking penalty! Didn't you see something wrong with your eyes?"

"Fuck your mother!" This time it was the turn of the Manchester United fans to fire back.

"It's really hot..." Pei Wei sighed in the box and thought: "No matter how hot the Chinese league is, it will never be like this."

He turned his head to Su Mei who was beside him and said with a smile: "Before Chuan Chuan grows up, you can't take him to watch the game... Otherwise, the first English he learns will be 'Fa Ke'."

Su Mei also laughed, and the chairman of Manchester United, David Keir, was a little puzzled. He couldn't understand the Chinese spoken by Pei Wei and Su Mei, so he interjected: "Pei, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." Pei Wei said solemnly: "I was discussing with my wife just now about the children's future education... Besides, I am very envious of the enthusiasm of the Manchester United fans."

"Where is there." Keir laughed. The new chairman who was elected after the former chairman Edwards stepped down because of the prostitution scandal seemed to take Pei Wei's words as true, and immediately said: "Actually, Newcastle fans It is the most enthusiastic one in England...You know, although our Manchester United jerseys are sold to any corner of the world, but in Manchester, there is no good business."

What Keir said is true. You know, in Manchester, the most popular team is Manchester City, not Manchester United. Unlike Newcastle, basically all the fans in this city support Newcastle United.

"I am very envious of Manchester United's huge talent base around the world... If possible, I hope Newcastle can get some help from Manchester United." Pei Wei said lightly.

Keir said haha, and diverted the words. Manchester United does not know how many satellite clubs in the world. This is the accumulation of Manchester United over the years. How can it be shared with Newcastle.

Pei Wei smiled and did not continue the topic.
