Big back

Chapter 916 The Scale of Victory

For Vieira, Mancini has always been very trusted and relied on.The defensive midfielder from France, the former captain of the Premier League giants Arsenal, is naturally capable. At the peak of his career, he is definitely one of the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League and even Europe. The most important thing is that he still has a good ability to play the ball and can connect the midfield very well. The reason why Arsenal was able to create the unbeaten myth of 49 consecutive games back then is definitely one of the most important figures in Vieira.

Although the French is "old" now, but his experience and foundation are still there, he is still one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. Mancini gave Vieira the biggest new appointment, and after joining Manchester City, the French also Reward with sophisticated performance.

But in this game, Mancini was somewhat dissatisfied with Vieira.

In this game, Vieira's task is to guard against Bizhuang, and the effect can only be regarded as mediocre. Although Vieira worked hard enough, the decline is still obvious. In front of the younger and more impactful Fan Bizhuang, Vieira Although his experience has given him a lot of help, but it is far from being completely restricted. Fan Bizhuang's goal near the end of the first half is a clear proof that Vieira completely lost his defensive goal. Only then did Fan Bizhuang play calmly without being marked, which led to the birth of a classic goal.

Looking at the entire half, Vieira did not show his fierce and tough defensive characteristics. Although he fouled Fan Bizhuang a lot, Fan Bizhuang was still unscrupulous.In Mancini's view, Vieira needs to be more "ruthless". Only in this way can it be possible to quiet Manchester United's No. [-].

Of course, Mancini also had a little bit of luck at this time, and it was precisely because of Vieira's "elegance" that he didn't let himself get a yellow card. This is good news. At least in the second half, Vieira You can still play "normally" without being intimidated by the scruples of a yellow card.

Unlicensed and light, this is also the capital that Vieira can use tough methods in the second half.

Thinking of this, Mancini said to the Frenchman without hesitation: "Patrick, I need you to pay more attention to that guy in the second half. You have to stop him, just like you used to deal with Roy and Luther. I need a tougher player." A fierce midfielder. We can't give him extra space and opportunities, he is very dangerous, and I believe you already have a deep understanding of this."

Is Fan Bizhuang dangerous?

Of course it's dangerous, and it's extremely dangerous.

As a dedicated defender, Vieira naturally feels more deeply about this. He is also a veteran on the battlefield. He has played in many top leagues, has rich experience, and has seen many talented players. In the list of powerful players, if there is a list to be made, Fan Bizhuang, who just passed the half-time competition, can definitely be ranked in the top three.

If it was at the peak of his career, Vieira thought he could have a good fight with the opponent on the court, but it is obviously impossible to turn back the years. Throughout the first half, Fan Bizhuang's repeated assaults have made him He was battered and couldn't keep up with the rhythm. As the game progressed and his physical fitness declined, this disadvantage would only become more and more obvious in the second half, and he would be completely at a disadvantage.

It is not that Vieira has not thought of using some small methods on the green field to interfere, but the effect is not so obvious. Fan Bizhuang's playing characteristics are doomed to his uncontrollability, fast speed, fast foot frequency, and good football intelligence. It's still very high, and it's just a swimming fish on the field, slippery and not slippery. In many cases, Vieira couldn't keep up if he wanted to.

For the first time in so many years, Vieira felt powerless.

But after hearing the coach's instructions, Vieira nodded slightly: "I will do my best."

Roy and Luther are the former Manchester United captain and Ruud van Nistelrooy. One is a famous villain in the Premier League. He dares to do all kinds of dirty and evil things. At that time, the best center forward of Manchester United and even the Premier League scored like a ball.

These two people were the most important figures in Manchester United back then, and Vieira played against them many times, but he did not lose the wind, which is enough to prove Vieira's ability.On the other hand, to be able to contain them, ordinary methods will naturally not be very effective. Obviously, Vieira is fighting evil with evil, so that he does not suffer.

Vieira understood what the head coach was referring to. He wanted him to be tougher and fiercer. Even if he couldn't bear it, he would hold back the opponent's footsteps with constant fouls.

"It's not about doing our best, it's about doing it. That guy is too dangerous, he can mess up our defense by himself. If we don't want to lose this derby, then Fan is what we have to do." Players to be contained!"

Mancini was not satisfied with Vieira's answer, and couldn't help but speak again, even raising his pitch a lot.

"I will do it."

Vieira paused for a moment, and responded in a muffled voice.

Mancini nodded with satisfaction and turned his attention to the other players.

……

The 15 minutes of intermission passed quickly, and the players of the two teams returned to the green field.Judging from the players on the field, neither side has made personnel adjustments.

The current score is 0:1. Although the home team is behind, to be honest, the score difference of one goal is not a big deal. After all, there is still half time in the game, and the score may expand, or even be tied. With a chance to overtake, for Manchester City, there is actually no need to appear too anxious.

But after all, it is a derby. Although this score does not mean that the game will definitely be lost in the end, but falling behind is always a bad face, especially falling behind the deadly enemy, which is even more unacceptable.

Therefore, at the beginning of the second half, Manchester City continued the state at the end of the first half. After the kick-off, they pressed forward desperately, hoping to disrupt the opponent's defense and suppress the opponent's momentum, so as to seek opportunities on the offensive end.

This is to make it clear that the posture will continue to attack. In the second half of the first half, facing this situation, Manchester United tried their best to fight against the opponent, but after the adjustment of the midfield locker room and the head coach's instructions At this moment, Manchester United did not rush to head-to-head with Manchester City. Instead, they chose to pass the ball to consume the opponent's fighting spirit, while slowly looking for space to counterattack.

And the opportunity presented itself quickly.

No. 407 minutes, just 2 minutes into the second half, Manchester City pushed the front line to the 30-meter area of ​​Manchester United's backcourt. Barry passed the football to the feet of Tevez who pulled out of the penalty area with a long pass. Turn, prepare to turn the ball around.

Obviously, Carrick, who was marking him, knew the characteristics and habits of the former Manchester United teammate very well. He moved ahead of time and got stuck in the position. He was forced to stop halfway, so he didn't have enough control over the ball at his feet. Carrick made a kick first and poked the ball away.

Scholes saw the opportunity very quickly, stepped forward and walked the ball along, just glanced up while running, and also used a wide range of long passes to sweep the ball to the left side of the frontcourt, Fan Bizhuang quickly moved forward Sprinting, unloading the ball easily and nimbly, and swiping the ball coherently and quickly, the football avoided Vieira, and his body sprinted out again, instantly throwing the French midfielder behind him.

Vieira originally wanted to stretch out his hand to pull the jersey, but Fan Bizhuang's speed was too fast. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Fan Bizhuang was already at least one body ahead of him. Never give him the chance.Vieira had no choice but to lift his foot and follow Fan Bizhuang's footsteps, but he could only chase further and further.

This is Vieira's helplessness, his defensive skills are excellent, but his speed is not his advantage, it can only be regarded as mediocre, and as soon as Fan Bizhuang charges up, he can only stare blankly and say nothing .

Without the interference of Vieira, Fan Bizhuang was like a wild horse that had broken free from the rein. He went down to the bottom line like lightning, and glanced at the penalty area. Rooney and Kaka had already outflanked them. Without hesitation, Fan Bizhuang raised his foot and made a pass. , A high-quality pass rushed into the penalty area quickly and floatingly.

Because the sudden attack was suspended and the opponent quickly counterattacked, Manchester City's defense did not have time to reorganize, it was a little messy, and the central defenders failed to return to the defense, so this was a very good goal. Opportunity.

Fan Bizhuang's pass was looking for the back point. Rooney jumped up slightly at the front point. Looking at the landing point of the football, he knew that he would not be able to catch the pass, but he still jumped up to give the ball behind him a kick. The defensive player made some interference, and his goal was achieved. Boateng jumped up, but it was in vain, but it was precisely because of his jump that he shook his teammate Kompany behind him, and the football was in Kompagne In Ni's panicked eyes, he fell straight to the back point.

At the narrow rear point, it has become a blank area. Kaka's outflanking timing is just right. When the ball arrives, the Brazilian star kicks on the ground while running, throws his body out, and uses a similar pedaling in mid-air With such an action, he kicked the football hard with his right foot.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United also got a lot of such counter-attack opportunities, but Manchester City's No. 1 goalkeeper Shay, seemed to have suddenly turned G, and blocked Manchester United's several threatening shots. shut out.

But this time, no matter how brave Shay was, he couldn't change the fate of football hitting the net. The Irish goalkeeper flew across the body, but Kaka's kick was too close to the goal. The strength and angle were good. Shay was powerless. From his side into the net.

The score became 0:2. After a quick counterattack and a few simple passes, Fan Bizhuang finally assisted, Kaka outflanked the shot and succeeded. Manchester United scored another goal, and the score was widened.

The balance of victory is already tilting towards Manchester United who are playing away!
