Chapter 81 This is not my style! (Please collect)
Eriksson is here!
This news made the faces of Wolverhampton's England players glow, and they were all eager to try. This feeling was just like when they were in the youth team and learned that the first team coach was coming to the team to select players!
In Eriksson's eyes, if they perform well they will have the opportunity to join the England national team and become famous overnight. This temptation is irresistible to these young people.
"Alan, in the second half, you must pass the ball to me more often if you have the chance! Remember, my lifelong happiness depends on you!" In the locker room, Harrison sat next to Wang Li and said to him obediently. When Dave was arranging the tactics just now, he had already informed him to replace Miller in the second half, and then he learned that Eriksson was in the audience, so he was very excited at this time!
"knew!"
Wang Li responded casually and quickly moved to the side. Harrison's sad look even made him feel numb all over! In fact, he was also very excited. He had decided not to join the Chinese team, so he could only join the England team. Eriksson was the head coach of the England team. If he could be valued by him, maybe after this season, he could go to the European Cup, which was an international event second only to the World Cup!
However, thinking back on his performance in the first half, he was a little confused: Although he scored a goal in the first half, he didn't do much else. Would Eriksen underestimate him? If he wanted to join the national team, he had to perform better in the second half.
…………
Other players in the locker room were also discussing this matter with each other, which made the team's atmosphere not as heavy as before the game. Instead, it showed a very relaxed feeling. But in fact, these players were even more nervous!
Fifteen minutes, neither long nor short. While the fans were still immersed in the gossip about Eriksen, the players from both teams had already started to enter the field.
Just as the second half started, the fourth official raised the substitution card and Manchester United replaced Forlan and Solskjaer, who had done nothing in the first half, with Saha and veteran Giggs.
Saha is the second turret of Manchester United. He has scored 13 goals for Manchester United this season, ranking fourth in the scorer list after Henry. His strength is beyond doubt. Although Giggs is already over 30 years old this year, it has almost no effect on his condition. He is still the king of the left wing of Manchester United. His abundant physical strength and mature experience make him feel at ease on the field.
After the kick-off, Manchester United immediately launched a fierce attack.
This is Old Trafford, and Manchester United was playing against a newly promoted team, but they had to rely on a dive to equalize the score. How would Ferguson explain to Manchester United supporters after the game? So, during the half-time break, he flew into a rage and shouted for a full ten minutes, scolding these Manchester United stars. So now, each of them has red eyes and is desperately attacking Wolverhampton's defense!
After Giggs and Saha came on the field, Wolverhampton's defensive pressure increased. Now this lineup on the field is already Manchester United's strongest lineup, with main players in almost every position on the field!
Giggs and C. Ronaldo are both very good at dribbling and are very fast, they can be said to be flying on both wings, while the two forwards, Saha and Van Nistelrooy, are both quite efficient, which makes it impossible for Wolverhampton's defensive players to cope with them, as the opponent has too many stars!
…………
In the 56th minute of the game, Ferdinand got the ball in the middle. He slowly moved forward and looked at the situation in the frontcourt.
At this time, Giggs was on the left side of the penalty area, Saha and Van Nistelrooy were fighting with Wolverhampton defenders in the penalty area, and C. Ronaldo and Scholes were on the right side of the penalty area, constantly running and pulling for position.
At this time, Cameron hurried over to grab the ball. He couldn't let Ferdinand dribble the ball so easily in the middle. Although he was only a defender, the ability of this big-name star could not be restricted by position.
Ferdinand suddenly made a fake move, dribbled past Cameron, and took advantage of the gap to pass the ball to Giggs on the left. After Giggs got the ball, he did not choose to break through from the left, but passed the ball directly to Saha next to the penalty area.
The Wolverhampton team's penalty area was full of people, but Saha did not panic. He ran two steps towards the ball, suddenly kicked the ball with his left foot, and the ball followed it out of the penalty area. Under the pressure of two defensive players, he calmly protected the ball with his body, while glancing at the positions of his teammates out of the corner of his eye.
Van Nistelrooy was closely watched by two defenders, Naylor and Craddock, and he kept turning around in the penalty area, looking for an opening to receive the ball. C. Ronaldo was near the right side of the penalty area, Giggs and Scholes were standing almost parallel to him, and Djemba was running forward from the right and just passed him.
Saha pushed the ball to Djemba without thinking. The other players were basically targeted and the pass was likely to be blocked. Only Djemba had just made a run and Wolverhampton had no time to defend.
After Djemba got the ball on the left side of the penalty area, Naylor in the penalty area hurried over to make up for the defense, and just as he left the penalty area, Van Nistelrooy ran out of position! After Naylor left the penalty area, it was very difficult for Craddock and Naylor to block Van Nistelrooy's route to receive the ball. Van Nistelrooy ran back and was more than a meter away from Craddock!
Neutral!
Djemba passed the ball directly as if it was a conditioned reflex!
The pass was so good that Van Nistelrooy took two steps and shot the rolling ball without even looking at the result. He turned around and gave Djemba a thumbs up!
"Fanni!! Vanni!!" Manchester United fans cheered in the stands. Oaks had no way to deal with this ball. He only had time to hook the ball with his right hand...
"Goal!! Goooooooal!! The ball goes in!! Van Nistelrooy, it's our Van Nistelrooy!! A powerful volley helped Manchester United to overtake the score!! The one who assisted him was the young player Djemba, he was really outstanding, the pass was very accurate, and Wolverhampton had no time to double-team! Now the score is 2:1, Manchester United has overtaken!" Gilvis in the broadcasting room kept shouting!
Wang Li stood at the center line, watching Manchester United celebrate in front of the goal, but he was thinking about the goal that had just been scored.
Giggs, Saha, Djemba and Van Nistelrooy, each of them is very strong, and each of them is good at something different. The strength that such a combination can exert is unimaginable. No wonder almost all players want to go to top teams. In addition to money and honor, they can have so many outstanding teammates, which will definitely help them improve their skills faster!
Thinking of this, Wang Li felt a little disappointed. In this game, except for the goal at the beginning, he did almost nothing. Manchester United's attack was too fierce, and he could not find any chance to counterattack. The ball was almost always under the control of Manchester United. This made him sigh at the strength of the giants and at the same time a little dissatisfied with his own awareness. If he participated in the defense, he could also find Manchester United's passing route as easily as Naylor, and he would definitely be able to steal the ball many times with his "Shadow Foot"!
Although Wang Li knew all the knowledge that Mr. Stephen taught him, he sometimes still didn't know how to run in the actual game. This was the difference in game experience!
The players on the field now, even Cristiano Ronaldo, who is not much older than Wang Li, grew up in the Portuguese club's youth teams and have received tactical guidance from professional coaches since childhood. Their awareness of positioning is deeply rooted in their bones. Many of the runs that Wang Li considers classic are just subconscious to them.
But Wang Li is different. He has only been playing football for a few months! Only a few months! Even Wang Li in the past was only in the Arsenal Football School, which is not a formal club after all.
"Alan, stop being dazed, the ball is about to start!" At this time, a voice from a distance interrupted Wang Li's thoughts. It was Captain Kennedy.
Wang Li smiled at him embarrassedly and quickly ran to the center circle. He was absorbed in his thoughts just now.
…………
Wang Li, standing in the center circle, looked up and carefully examined each of the Manchester United players. Each of them was very relaxed, while his teammates, on the other hand, all had dejected looks on their faces. The excitement in the locker room when they learned that the Swedes were coming to watch the game had now completely disappeared.
"Is this game lost?" Wang Li thought to himself. He felt depressed when he thought about it. Football is a sport for eleven people. Even if he has confidence, there is nothing he can do if his teammates are not strong enough.
No! Can't give up!
There are still 30 minutes left until the end of the game. We can’t give up halfway. We must persevere to the end no matter what!
"Song'er, the key to learning martial arts is persistence. It's easy to work hard for a day, but it's hard to work hard for a hundred years!"
Master Xu Zhuzi's words seemed to reappear in Wang Li's ears. Yes, learning martial arts and competing are the same thing. How can you win without perseverance?
Giving up halfway when faced with difficulties is not my style, Wang Li!
