The strongest waist king of the Red Devils

Chapter 300

After this European Champions Cup game, in three days, Manchester United will have a league focus game to play.

At that time, they will face the league title rival Chelsea at home.

It was also a very important game and Ferguson needed to keep his players fit and fit and to perform well against Chelsea.

Especially the leading striker Rooney, Ferguson must be carefully protected.

Rooney had already completed a hat-trick in this game and performed very well, so Ferguson decided to let Rooney go off the court to rest first.

At the same time, Ferguson used the teenager Anderson, and also replaced the midfielder, the veteran Scholes, so that Scholes can also have more rest time.

On the side of the Sporting Lisbon team, Simon Vuksevich was used to replace Izmailov, who was in average form, hoping to strengthen the offense.

Then use high center Milan Provic to replace Lederson, who has few opportunities.

In the 54th minute, Sporting Lisbon got a good chance.

Miguel Veloso held the ball centrally and, after linking up with João Moutinho, crossed the ball wide to Simon Vukcevic on the right.

Simon Vuksevich, using his strong body, leaned on Evra, and then passed the ball to Abel who responded from the wing.

Abel didn't stop the ball and immediately made a cross.

In the middle of Manchester United's penalty area, Milan Provic quickly stepped in, withstood Rio Ferdinand's entangled defense, and forcibly shook his head to attack the goal.

Milan Provic, header is his strong point, even though he was defended by Rio Ferdinand, he still fought for this opportunity and played a high-quality attack.

It's just that Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar has been highly focused. When Milan Provic headed the ball, he immediately flew towards the near corner of the goal, barely blocked the ball, and pushed the ball forward. Out of line.

Seeing the effect of this attack, the players of the Sporting Lisbon team couldn't help cheering up.

For the corner kick, Joao Moutinho took the penalty, looking for the high point of Milan Provic.

When the ball flew over, Rio Ferdinand also defended seriously this time, and fought for the landing point with Milan Provic. Relying on his richer defensive experience, Rio Ferdinand still got stuck in the position first, and Struggling to push the ball out.

The impact of high center Milan Provic, this is the biggest trouble Rio Ferdinand encountered in this game.

However, the high point of Milan Provic is impacting, and the threat is not small. Once Rio Ferdinand gets serious, it is still very reliable, and Milan Provic will not easily succeed.

As for Milan Prović, feeling the strong defensive ability of Rio Ferdinand, his luck also restrained, and he tried to think of ways to deal with it more seriously.

Outside the United box, Anderson got the ball and waded it wide to get away from Leandro Romagnoli's press.

Anderson played well in Porto in the Portuguese Super League. In this game against Sporting Lisbon, an opponent he is very familiar with, Anderson played more calmly and confidently.

And Sun Qi was sitting on the sidelines, which also gave Anderson more confidence.

After getting rid of Leandro Romagnoli, Anderson took the ball a few steps forward before passing the ball to Giggs in front.

Giggs controlled the ball, feinted a bit, turned and took it towards the wing.

Abel immediately followed, staring at Giggs, not giving Giggs a chance to break through easily.

However, after all, Giggs is a veteran of breakthroughs and has rich experience. Even if he is a little older, there are still ways to get rid of Abel.

Walking forward with the ball, let Abel continue to follow, but Giggs suddenly moved the ball forward, and the speed immediately increased.

This made Abel also have to speed up.

But Giggs only took two or three steps forward, saw Abel speeding up to follow, and immediately stopped the ball.

Giggs' move really made Abel stop abruptly, but he rushed too far.

Although Abel still wanted to stretch his feet to grab the ball, Giggs had already pulled the ball back, preventing Abel from succeeding.

After shaking away Abel, Giggs did not continue to dribble, but passed the ball directly to the middle of the penalty area of ​​Sporting Lisbon.

There, Ivica Olic went forward at high speed and dived to the top of the ball.

However, goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic's reaction was also very quick, and he flew sideways, stunned to shoot Ivica Olic's header and fell to the ground Then he stretched out his hand to hold the ball, hugged it in his arms, and didn't give the opponent a chance to make up shots.

After standing up, Vladimir Stojkovic ran a few steps forward, and immediately drove the ball to the frontcourt.

In Manchester United's half, Milan Prović held off Carrick's challenge and headed the ball over to Yannick Dejalo, who came in wide.

Yannick Dejalo did not choose to stop the ball, and immediately distributed the ball to Leandro Romagnoli on the wing.

Got the ball, Leandro Romagnoli wants to play a one-two with Joao Moutinho, but Sun Qi has come here to help defend, the chance is not very good, Joao Moutinho took control of the ball again and, after a turn, passed it to Simon Vukcevic on the other side.

Simon Vuksevic teamed up with Abel, successfully getting rid of Evra's defense and kicking a cross in time.

At the back of Manchester United's penalty area, Milan Provic rushed to the position again, against Rio Ferdinand's defense, he still pushed the ball strongly and hoisted it to the back of Manchester United's goal.

Milan Provic's header did indeed fly past Manchester United's goalkeeper Van der Sar, but in the end it missed the goal post slightly and failed to form a goal.

It is a pity that Milan Provic did not score this time.

It may be possible to form a shot twice in a row. Milan Provic, and even the entire Sporting Lisbon team, have greatly improved their confidence and morale.

But for Rio Ferdinand, it was another wake-up call.

He still underestimated the impact of this young high center forward, so he had to be more serious and defend himself.

He noticed that after Milan Provic made consecutive attacks, the face of the head coach Ferguson was not very good.

He didn't want to have a hair dryer after the game.

However, Manchester United's subsequent offensive still forced Sporting Lisbon to spend more energy on defense.
