The strongest waist king of the Red Devils

Chapter 257: Injury and Comeback

In the second half of the game, the Sevilla team fought even harder.

Several targeted offensive and defensive arrangements made the Manchester United team indeed experience short-term discomfort.

However, Manchester United still quickly controlled the rhythm of the game, regained the advantage on the field, and suppressed the Sevilla team.

In the 48th minute, Carrick returned a pass to Rio Ferdinand. Rio Ferdinand was pressed fiercely by Frederick Canoute and chose to drive the ball forward.

The ball flew to the left, Giggs unloaded the ball smoothly, and flicked the ball along the touchline, wading past Daniel Alves smoothly.

After shaking out the space, Giggs didn't take much, and quickly chose the low pass before the penalty area.

It's just that Christian Poulsen has been pestering Ivica Olic, guarding him to death, and rushed to the position first, clearing the ball with a big foot.

Ivica Olic was uncomfortably defended by Christian Poulsen at the start of the second half.

This time, Christian Poulsen was the first to clear the siege, so that he couldn't even touch the ball.

This made Ivica Olic have to reconsider his current situation, looking for a way to deal with Christian Poulsen's defense.

He needs to figure this out on his own.

This is also the situation he will encounter as a striker, which is not uncommon.

Only this time, Christian Poulsen, a villain from Denmark, defended him very hard, causing him a lot of trouble.

He will find a solution.

In the 51th minute, Manchester United made a comeback.

Sun Qi cooperated continuously with Scholes and Carrick in the middle, and after passing many people, he passed the ball diagonally to the left.

Giggs controlled the ball and was pressed by Daniel Alves. Without a chance to break through the cross, he chose to pass the ball back to Evra who was plugging in.

Evra faced the ball and made a low pass.

The ball was passed to the rear of the penalty area and was firmly received by David Silva.

However, David Silva was unable to turn around and hit the goal after being entangled in Ivica Dragutinovic's defense, so he simply passed the ball back outside the penalty area.

Outside the Sevilla team's penalty area, Sun Qi received a return pass from David Silva, smashed the ball to get rid of Saidu Keita's tackle, and then crossed the ball to the unmarked Scholes.

Scholes hits the ball hard.

The ball flew into the Sevilla penalty area, hit Josip Marti's buttocks halfway, deflected, and flew out of the baseline.

Corner, David Silva took the lead, but the ball was cleared by Julien Escuder with a header.

In the second half of the game, Sevilla's players ran more actively and defended more aggressively. So far, they have defended their goals very well.

It's just that running without hesitation like this has its own drawbacks.

Sevilla's coach Juande Ramos is naturally aware of this, but in order to fight Manchester United, he can only choose the simplest and rude method.

At least until now, the effect is still good.

In the 55th minute, Ivica Olic was hit by Saidu Keita's arm while fighting for the high-altitude ball, causing the corner of his eye to rupture and blood flowed immediately.

Such a scene frightened many people. The referee Konrad Plautz immediately stopped the game and signaled Manchester United's team doctor to enter the field to check and treat Ivica Olic.

Ivica Olić's injury looked very serious. When he went to the sidelines to continue treatment, Manchester United coach Ferguson hurried over to inquire about the situation.

Although the team doctor and Ivica Olić both said that the problem was not serious, and after treatment, they could continue to play with bandages on. However, just to be on the safe side, Ferguson still decided to make substitutions, with Ivica Olić's safety being more important.

Of course, the team has already led Sevilla by four goals, and the overall situation is basically under control. Manchester United does not need to let Ivica Olic continue to fight with injuries to avoid unpredictable consequences.

After all, it hurt the corner of the eye, so it can't be careless.

Let Ivica Olic deal with the wound with peace of mind, Ferguson replaced Ivica Olic with Saha who returned from injury.

Ivica Olic was a little disappointed by the result of this treatment, but knowing that the head coach was thinking about his health and safety, Ivica Olic still accepted such a decision.

Saha has been injured for a long time, and Ferguson dare not be careless about Saha's comeback.

In the game of the reserve team, Saha adapted well and was in good condition, so Ferguson would consider letting him play in the official game of the first team.

Coming off the bench in this game, Saha played for Manchester United's first team for the first time this season. It seems that a long time has passed since the last time he played.

With the outbreak of Rooney and Ronaldo, and the outstanding performance of Ivica Olic after joining, including the change of Manchester United's tactics, Saha has been under a lot of pressure.

After his comeback, Saha needs to prove his strength again, so as not to be replaced by Ivica Olic.

This is unacceptable to Saha.

In this game, Saha will start to prove himself.

In the 61st minute, Sevilla launched an offensive.

In the second half of the game, the Sevilla team focused on Evra and Scholes, avoided Vidic, and specifically entangled Rio Ferdinand, hoping to force these people to make mistakes.

However, the overall tactics of the Manchester United team worked very well, and the Sevilla team was still suppressed most of the time. Such targeted tactics did not achieve better results.

Evra and others have rich game experience and good strength, and they don't make mistakes after being forced once or twice.

To see the effect, the Sevilla team needs more patience, more possession of the ball, and more offensive opportunities.

But Manchester United did not give Sevilla much time to display their tactics.

When the opportunity arises, the Sevilla team needs to grasp it tightly.

This time, the Sevilla team still played on the right.

The ball passed to Jose Navas' feet, and Jose Navas took the ball forward by himself, changing directions continuously, breaking through Evra's defense, and then making a pass from the bottom.

The ball quickly flew to the front of the Manchester United penalty area, where Frederic Canoute and Rio Ferdinand were fighting for landing. Frederic Canoute successfully grabbed the ball and headed the goal.

Unfortunately, this time, Frederick Kanoute failed to top the ball well, and the ball missed the right post slightly.

In this way, it was the best chance for Sevilla in the second half.
