Chapter 215 Hat-trick! ?
In fact, compared to Rafael's red card, Rooney's sudden injury was the most fatal blow to Manchester United.

In the current tactics of Manchester United, Rooney's position is irreplaceable, especially his off-ball ability, whether it is pressing, running, and making the ball are top-notch.

At this time, although Manchester United's "handsome brother" Berbatov, worth 3075 million pounds, was sitting on the bench, Berbatov's style of play was too chic, and sometimes he didn't even sweat much after a game.

Although his ability to attack with the ball is good, the pressure on the opposing defender in the frontcourt is too small.

Ferguson originally planned to replace Gibson or Fletcher with O'Shea, but Rooney's sudden injury forced Ferguson to choose a solid defense first.

At this time, Ferguson suddenly regretted that he should not take the risk of letting Rooney come back early.

Before the game, the media actually criticized him for squeezing Rooney's value too much and not giving him enough rest.

But he turned his head and looked at the four candidates in the frontcourt on the bench, two of them were veterans like Giggs and Scholes who were on the verge of retirement.

The rest are Berbatov and Kiko.

Berbadov beat the underdogs, and it's okay to brush up the statistics.

As for Kiko, he is too young, and since he became famous with one goal, this kid has been affected by off-court factors to some extent, and his state has fluctuated.

After the Americans bought the team, all the team's income was "redempted", and they barely managed to replace each position, but the rotation of players and the depth of the bench are really powerless!
The old man chewed his chewing gum expressionlessly, and the emotions in his heart did not leak out at all, making people continue to believe in his strength, and this confidence once infected the team and fans.

But at this moment, the old man glanced at O'Shea who had just played, then turned and walked back to his seat.

"I hope you hold on!"

……

On the other side, Prandelli immediately applied for a substitution adjustment after Rooney left the field!
He replaced Jovetic and Gobi successively, replacing Marchionne and Pasquale respectively.

Replacing two offensive players and replacing two defensive players is equivalent to clearly conveying an offensive signal to the field!
The Fiorentina players noticed the head coach's personnel adjustments, and knew that the time to decide the outcome had arrived!
Their emotions were also mobilized, and they faintly looked forward to it!
Just as the morale on Florence's side was high and the offensive was gradually starting, there was a problem with Manchester United's offense.

Because of Rooney's departure, Manchester United's formation became 4-5-0, without strikers.

Although Nani and Valencia on the two wings are still making sharp breakthroughs, it is difficult to see any effect due to the lack of coordination in the center.

Nani's nickname is "Na Bu Chuan", while Valencia's nickname is "Wa Bu She".

From these two nicknames, we can see the characteristics of the two!
In response to the obvious playing styles of the two, Fiorentina's coaching staff also made targeted arrangements before the game.

If it weren't for Rooney's sudden start to mess up the pre-match tactical deployment, Fiorentina would never have been caught off guard, conceding three goals in the opening game and falling into a passive position.

Now, with Rooney gone, the targeted plan formulated by the Fiorentina coaching staff before the game can finally be perfectly implemented!
With the defensive pressure greatly reduced, Fiorentina finally showed their fangs on the offensive end, frequently creating murderous intentions!
No.70 In the second minute, Fiorentina created a very threatening free kick in the middle. As a result, Jovetic, who took the penalty, slid on his feet.
Three minutes later, Fiorentina's defender cooperated and decisively launched a counterattack after intercepting Nani's ball. This time, Vargas from the wing hit the crossbar with a long shot from the front of the penalty area, which made the audience exclaim!

Continuous threatening shots made Manchester United's goal screaming. Under this pressure, almost all of them retreated to the half-court defense.

If this was a normal game, with Manchester United in such a mess, the fans at the scene would boo to express their dissatisfaction, but the team is in crisis at the moment, and the fans don't care whether the scene looks good or not!
What they expect is that only the team can advance to the next round without conceding a goal in the remaining games!
But soon, this suspense was finally broken!
In the No.709 minute of the game, Fiorentina once again launched a threatening attack.

Montolivo held the ball in the middle circle of the midfield, but because of Manchester United's retreat, no one pressed him for a while.

This allows Montorivo plenty of time to observe the dynamics of the court.

At this time, Mu Jianfeng suddenly ran back to the front of the penalty area. Ferdinand hesitated for a moment, but still did not choose to chase back, but signaled Fletcher loudly to mark.

This made Manchester United's defense appear a brief transposition gap.

Seeing this, Montolivo made a decisive long pass!
Facing the flying ball, Mu Jianfeng got into position and prepared to win the ball, but Fletcher in front of him was unwilling to be given the ball by Mu Jianfeng in such a threatening area.

So he jumped up decisively, no matter whether he could touch the ball or not, as long as he could interfere, he would be satisfied.

As a result, after Fletcher jumped up, he continued to stretch his body and tried to touch the ball.

At this moment, the whole body fell on Mu Jianfeng's body.

Mu Jianfeng did not dodge either, and even supported Fletcher as he landed with great sportsmanship to prevent his head or spine from hitting the ground first.

But Mu Jianfeng didn't delay the opportunity too much. After making sure that Fletcher was not in danger, he turned around and ran towards the penalty area.

At this time, because neither Mu Jianfeng nor Fletcher got control of the ball, the whole ball flew into the penalty area and was controlled by Gilardino.

This time, Ferdinand quickly followed up, and Vidic quickly locked his target on Mu Jianfeng.

Gilardino was not greedy for merit at this time. After rushing to the ball's landing point, he dexterously hooked the ball with his heel and knocked the ball to the space behind him!

Mu Jianfeng had turned around to get rid of Fletcher at this time, and the ball landed just not far in front of him!
At this time, Vidic had no time to press, so he was cruel and threw himself out sideways, trying to block the angle of Mu Jianfeng's shot with his body!

But Mu Jianfeng didn't choose to shoot at the first time. He feinted and made a false shot, then knocked the ball to his left foot, and then used his unfamiliar left foot to tease!

Because the distance was too close, Van der Sar never thought that Mu Jianfeng would choose to shoot with his unfamiliar left foot, so he could only watch the ball slowly roll towards the far post while all his thoughts were on the near post. there!

Then, under the breathless gaze of all the fans, he slowly rolled into the net!
The score is three to two!
The total score is four to four! !
Fiorentina scored two away goals and is half a body ahead of Manchester United in terms of promotion chances! ! !

At this moment, Fiorentina's bench went crazy, and Prandelli could feel the madness of the boys behind him!
The Fiorentina fans who came from the original way went crazy. They shouted frantically at Old Trafford, celebrated unscrupulously, and then sang the song of Florence neatly!

The Red Devils fans in the stadium are like ducks pinched by fate at this moment, and there is no more noise before!

Among them, the female fans who were a little more emotional were even red-eyed, and they lowered their heads and sobbed softly in the arms of their companions!
For a time, the huge Old Trafford stadium was on ice and fire!

And the most exciting thing here is undoubtedly the Fiorentina players on the field!
Because with Mu Jianfeng's goal, the coach's tactical arrangement was 100% realized!
They have achieved all the tactical goals one by one!
In the case of playing one more player and the opponent's main forward is injured and retired, as long as they hold the current score, they can eliminate the mighty Manchester United and advance to the semi-finals!
How can this not excite them! ! !
So, this time, almost everyone frantically rushed towards Mu Jianfeng who scored the goal!
So much so that before Mu Jianfeng had time to enjoy his own honor, he was thrown onto the court by the crowd, and then everyone pressed him on top of him!

Many people in Florence haven't played "Stacking Arhats" because they are afraid that others will get hurt.

But at this moment, I really carried myself away and ignored it!
After waiting for a long time, Mu Jianfeng barely broke free!

After he broke free, he immediately pulled his teammates over to form a circle, and then said loudly:
"Hey guys!

Let's not hold on to the idea of ​​​​holding the ball!

That would be equivalent to using our weaknesses against their strengths!
Therefore, we should continue to try to attack, not to hide and defend like they did before!

Once we can score another goal, then we can really relax!
how? ! ! "

These players listened to Mu Jianfeng's words, looked at each other, and felt that Mu Jianfeng's suggestion was very suitable for them!

Their morale is high at this time, if they really want to retreat to defend, they will feel uncomfortable!
So, after everyone glanced at each other, they all shouted:
"it is good!!!"

While these players were celebrating, Ferguson's face was livid on the sidelines. As early as 10 minutes ago, he could no longer sit still and stood on the sidelines.

But he is very powerless for the situation in front of him, because the substitute is already the strongest lineup he can field, and a group of "old and young" sitting on the bench can hardly play any role.

But after Florence scored this goal, he had to make some changes even if he didn't want to!

So Ferguson immediately applied for a personnel adjustment!
He first replaced Carrick with Berbatov, and then replaced Gibson with Giggs!
Except for the unchanged defense, only Fletcher was left in the midfield!
Nani and Berbatov were pushed up the front line, while the veteran Ryan Giggs sat on the left and took turns attacking Fiorentina's defense with Valencia!
For a while, Manchester United finally came out and stopped defending quickly.

The two sides are open and close, and the offensive rhythm is very fast, which directly taught many third-party fans to get hooked!
As the game time passed by every minute and every second, almost everyone was watching with bated breath for the next goal that might determine the final qualification!
Manchester United scored first, then they will regain the lead, even if there is one less player on the field, but under the full retreat, Fiorentina may not have the energy to continue to rewrite the score!
And once Fiorentina scores first, they will sit back and relax with a two-goal lead, and the fate of Manchester United will be finalized accordingly!

Under such circumstances, Mu Jianfeng was also running hard, for his hat-trick, run!
