Chapter 204 Waste of Waste

“Wow!!!”

The moment Vidal scored, Yang Huan in the royal box rushed out of his seat and excitedly clenched his fists to celebrate.

Even Princess Kate, who was sitting next to him, was so excited that she kept clapping.

Next to him, Prince William also stood up excitedly, stretched out his right hand and reached in front of Yang Huan.

Yang Huan smiled and swept out his right hand, slapping his palm hard.

“Wow!”

This goal swept away Yang Huan’s previous depression and anxiety. There was still nearly half an hour left in the game and there were still many opportunities left for Southampton. Who dared to say that Southampton was bound to lose?

Looking over again, Abramovich's expression became extremely ugly.

Just now he looked so confident that Southampton no longer had any chance.

But now, Vidal's goal turned the whole situation around.

"Mr. Abramovich, one to one!" Yang Huan raised a finger at Abramovich and laughed.

"So what if it's 1-1? Manchester United haven't made any substitutions yet!"

Abramovich responded angrily, but soon he cursed again.

"Damn it, these idiots at Manchester United couldn't even lose a ball like this!"

These words made many people around who heard them look unhappy.

Although English Football Association Chairman David Bernstein is a fan of Manchester City, Manchester United's arch-rivals, he still felt unhappy after hearing Abramovich's words.

If Manchester United are rubbish, then what is English football?

Besides, this sentence clearly exposes Abramovich's mood swings.

"Don't be like this, Mr. Abramovich!" Yang Huan continued to add insult to injury with a smile, "It's not a shame to be scored by Southampton."

"Besides, we have only scored one goal against Manchester United so far, but we have scored two goals against Chelsea. If Manchester United is a waste, then aren't you Chelsea the waste of waste?"

Yang Huan's words immediately made everyone in the royal box who disliked what Abramovich had just said burst into laughter, and some even laughed particularly loudly on purpose.

I believe that most of the people present felt that Yang Huan’s counterattack was powerful and satisfying!

There is a saying that is very true, the enemy of my enemy is my enemy, oh no, it's my comrade-in-arms.

When Abramovich aroused public anger, Yang Huan confronted him head-on and undoubtedly stood on the side of the majority.

This also means that he was accepted by this group of upper-class gentlemen.

Of course, Yang Huan himself didn’t care what these people thought at all, he just did it for fun.

Having just been hit by Abramovich, he finally found a place to vent the anger in his heart.

Abramovich is the most unlucky one.

Football was a means for him to maintain his fame, wealth and status and to integrate into British upper class society.

Before Chelsea's rise, he had always been smooth sailing and did everything well.

But since this sudden Chinese person emerged, everything has changed.

That FA Cup match made him lose face, and this time, he was humiliated in front of so many people.

This annoyed him and made him angry.

But there is no way!

…………

…………

Ferguson kept walking back and forth, thinking of a strategy.

He knew adjustments had to be made, and so did everyone else.

But the question is, how to change it?

The presence of Scholes and Carrick is crucial. Without them, the attack may not be able to be carried out.

Especially considering that Southampton is pressing so hard and fighting so fiercely, replacing one of them will affect the team.

To be honest, he did not expect Bielsa to replace Adam Lallana.

Isco is an attacking midfielder, but he plays as a central midfielder and makes a run in from the back.

And it seems that Bielsa has not restricted his activity area. He was on the right just now, but this time he turned around and ran to the left to cooperate with Neymar. He was very active and erratic.

Vidal has a large range of movement, and neither Carrick nor Scholes can control him.

In addition, Ibrahimovic alone was able to hold down Manchester United's two central defenders, Vidic and Ferdinand.

In this way, Manchester United must have four players in the middle of the penalty area and the middle of the front of the penalty area.

But Southampton only used two players.

Therefore, Southampton has the advantage in numbers on the wing.

"Great idea! Really a great idea!" Ferguson kept shaking his head.

He had to admit that Bielsa's substitution was a bit risky, like a quick thinking, but it was very smart.

Isco was seen cooperating with Chamberlain on the right again, and the latter broke through Evra and made another cross.

In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic was double-teamed by Vidic and Ferdinand and grabbed the first point.

But this time, he pushed it wrong!

"We must adjust as soon as possible, Paul can't hold on any longer." Mike Perrin stepped forward and reminded.

Paul Scholes is already 36 years old. He won't be able to last long dealing with such a high-intensity game.

Ferguson knew it, but with Scholes out, how would the team attack? Who would partner with Carrick?

But he was experienced enough to know that he should not hesitate at this time.

"Go, let Giggs and Berbatov come on and replace Paul and Hernandez!"

Mike Perrin understood, but was a little confused. "Substitution?"

"Yes, try to get the ball to Berbatov, let him hold the ball in the frontcourt and plan the attack!"

Mike Perrin nodded, "Okay!"

…………

…………

"Ferguson also made substitutions!"

In the royal box, Wilkinson was explaining the game to Prince William.

"It seems that he also needs to adjust the attack. Berbatov can hold the ball in the frontcourt, but Hernandez can't. As long as Berbatov holds the ball, Nani, Rooney, Giggs, and even Park Ji-sung can quickly get in and participate in the attack."

Ferguson has just made substitutions, and Bielsa is also actively making adjustments.

After the restart, Giggs appeared in Scholes' position instead of being pulled out to the wing.

There were also changes on the Southampton side. Isco moved forward and cooperated with Vidal to put pressure on Carrick and Giggs.

"Both teams are famous coaches, and they made adjustments quickly and timely!" Wilkinson also had to admire them.

He can understand it, but if he is asked to coach it himself, he can't do it.

On the one hand, it is because he has been away from the coaching front for a long time, and on the other hand, it is also related to his own ability.

After all, being able to understand and being able to do are two different things.

Yang Huan also understood it. He realized that Bielsa meant to let go of Berbatov and focus on suppressing Carrick and Giggs, so as to disconnect Manchester United's midfield and front line.

This is a very smart move, as it takes advantage of the fact that Berbatov is not running aggressively enough.

Just like Ferguson was certain that Vidal could not make threatening passes when he had the ball, Berbatov's characteristic was that he was unwilling to actively participate in running, which earned him the title of "cool guy".

"There is a chance!" Yang Huan's confidence soared.

After a period of adjustment due to substitutions, both sides quickly re-engaged in fierce confrontation and competition.

A very obvious sign is that Southampton suppressed Manchester United's midfield.

Although there is a Berbatov in front, the problem is that the midfield cannot pass the ball.

This made the Saints fans in the stands very excited, and they were just waiting for the team to strike while the iron is hot and win the next goal.

The same goes for the players on the field. They all know that this is an opportunity.

In a football match, momentum is very important.

If you seize the momentum, it won't be a problem to stage a major reversal in one go.

Manchester United got the ball again, Giggs got rid of Vidal and passed it to Carrick.

"Carrick passes the ball long to Berbatov..."

"Benatia positioned himself very well, got the first point and headed the ball away."

There was a burst of boos from the stands.

Manchester United fans are somewhat dissatisfied.

This has happened for the nth time, and they still pass the ball long to Berbatov. Can't they try something new?

Benatia's header cleared the ball and it fell to Stroman's feet.

Rooney pressed forward, Stroman blocked Rooney with his body, stepped on the ball with his left foot, and passed it diagonally to the left.

Neymar got the ball along the wing and Rafael rushed forward immediately.

Park Ji-sung also actively and decisively returned to defense to assist Rafael.

Neymar's performance in this game was average with the two of them working together.

But this time...

"Neymar got the ball... started, very quickly, wanted to get to the bottom, dunked, and passed Rafael!"

"Beautiful! Park Ji-sung defends and shoots through the crotch!"

We saw Neymar skillfully controlling the ball with his feet on the left, and he fought his way through Rafael and Park Ji-sung. Especially the last move, he passed Park Ji-sung through the crotch. It was very exciting!

This scene also made the Southampton fans in the stands cheer!

"Pass, it's time to pass, Neymar!"

Facing Ferdinand's decisive interception, Neymar made a sideways pass with his right foot.

The ball almost brushed the penalty area line and went from the left side of the top arc to the right side.

Who are you looking for?

“ISCO!!!!”

The entire Wembley Stadium was in an uproar.

Tens of thousands of fans shouted in surprise.

Isco received Neymar's cross pass at the edge of the penalty area.

"Stop the ball and pass it through!"

"Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic, shoot!"

“The ball goes in!!!!”

Ibrahimovic used his body to hold Vidic in the penalty area, rushed over to stop Isco's through ball, and pushed the ball with his right foot. The ball stuck to the grass, brushed the right post, and rolled into the lower right corner of Manchester United's goal.

"Ibrahimovic! Ibrahimovic's goal!!"

"Southampton, Southampton, what a great performance in the second half!"

"In the 73rd minute, Southampton relied on Isco's precise through ball, which was like a surgical knife, to assist Ibrahimovic to score the winning goal!"

After scoring the goal, the Swedish center forward rushed out of the stadium frantically, jumped over the billboard on the sidelines, rushed to the bottom of the fan stand, and cheered wildly at the Southampton fans in the stands!

"Southampton completed a comeback!"

"Manchester United's performance in the second half was too different from the first half and they were unable to keep up with Southampton's pace."

"It is obvious that Ferguson's team has a big problem in physical fitness, especially a group of veterans such as Scholes, Carrick and Giggs!"

It turns out that it is not without reason that Ferguson was unwilling to start any two of Scholes, Carrick and Giggs at the same time, because once they start at the same time, the midfield will become very fragile.

Maybe he has the control and the passing ability, but he lacks the hardness.

In the Royal Box of the Chairman's Stand, everyone was shocked when they saw Southampton score a goal.

Southampton did play better in the second half.

Especially after Bielsa replaced Adam Lallana with Isco, the entire attack was revitalized.

Ferguson also made substitutions, replacing Scholes with Giggs and Hernandez with Berbatov, but neither of them had a good effect.

"Ferguson is paying the price for his stubbornness!" Wilkinson said with a sigh.

Bielsa played very well in this battle.

Southampton's performance was not that outstanding, after all, Manchester United is also very strong.

But the problem is that Manchester United has its own problems.

The Red Devils have had good luck in draws in the Champions League throughout the season. Apart from Chelsea, which they met in the quarter-finals and was considered a truly strong team, the others were Valencia, Marseille, Schalke 04 and the like.

The only strong team, Chelsea, was eliminated from the FA Cup by Southampton. In addition, head coach Ancelotti was certain to be sacked, and the team's morale was at a low point, which led to their double defeat by Manchester United in two rounds.

As for the league championship, the points, goals scored and goals conceded are the worst in recent seasons.

The reason why Manchester United won the championship cannot be attributed to how well they performed or how strong they are, but only to the fact that their competitors were too rubbish.

Thinking of this, Wilkinson couldn't help but recall what Yang Huan had just said to Abramovich.

If Manchester United is a waste, then Chelsea, which is even worse than Manchester United, isn't it the waste among wastes?

This is not wrong.

Yang Huan had no idea what Wilkinson was thinking. He was looking at Abramovich with a happy smile on his face.

The latter's expression now is extremely interesting.

I was very angry and embarrassed at the same time. I really wanted to leave, but I felt that it would be ungraceful to just leave like that.

If he really runs away again, it will be difficult for him to appear in gatherings of political and business celebrities in the future.

No one would be willing to accept such a runaway coward!

Perhaps the only thing Abramovich can do now is pray.

Pray that this useless team, as he called it, can rise up at the last moment.

But is this possible?
