Football: Signing in at the beginning is a reactionary kick and a quick shot

Chapter 99

The game time continued to flow here, and although Manchester United's front-court offensive system was significantly smoother after Wilson replaced Wayne Rooney, Manchester United still did not change the scoreline.

At the same time, Saints Southampton, after consolidating their own defense, also deliberately wanted to play Manchester United's gap in attacking and defensive conversion, and their team Mane and Pellet have been swimming near the centre circle looking for counter-attacking opportunities.

In front of the benches of the two teams, the head coaches all looked at the situation on the field with serious faces, and the assistant coaches around them covered their mouths and constantly reported these statistics.

......

Hero. Country, Sky Sports Channel.

Former Manchester United legend York Dwight is exchanging views on the game with the host.

'I think there's a good chance of a draw in this game, and although United's attack has improved, the Saints' defence is still rock solid.

'The two-centre-back system of Josawa and Maya Yoshida showed great unity in this game, and neither Wayne Rooney nor Falcao and Wilson could get past them to pose a threat to the goal. The host said.

"No, no, no..." York, apparently disagreeing with the host, gently wagged his finger while staring at the screen, and made his point.

"Manchester United's double centre seems to be tasked with finishing offense, that is, completing the shot, but the heart of Manchester United's attacking front, Chen Huan, the Saints' restrictions on him are actually not good."

At this time, on the court, Chen Huan once again threw away Steven Davis, who was staring at him one-on-one, through the combination of movement and speed, and received a pass from Ashley Young.

Chen Huan then passed the ball to Wilson's feet again, who protected the ball with his back, and then handed the ball to Chen Huan's feet again before Chen Huan stepped in.

Chen Huan hit the goal directly without stopping the ball at the top of the arc, and the football drew an arc in mid-air, grazing the right post of the goal and sliding out.

"A good chance, but Chen was too keen on the angle of the shot, so this shot deflected off the crossbar at the end."

York went on to analyze: "But that's what I just said, Chen's long-range shooting ability makes him very threatening outside the box, and if Southampton keeps giving Chen the space to shoot from distance - it is not far from him to score or create assists. "

......

The game came to 80 minutes, and counting a few minutes of stoppage time, there was only 15 minutes left for both teams.

At this moment, the physical fitness of the players of both teams began to gradually develop.

So when Manchester United made a mistake in possession on 83 minutes and the football was cleared off the touchline, Southampton applied for a substitution.

"No. 42 Huskis replaces No. 11 Tadic and No. 24 Mayuka replaces No. 7 Sean Lang."

The Saints voluntarily replaced two starters who were good at attacking.

After the two substitutes came on, they made a "dead hold" gesture to their teammates.

"Puel wants a draw." Manchester United's chief assistant coach Davis faced Louis van Gaal.

"Understood." Van Gaal frowned and nodded slightly.

In the Premier League or the other five major leagues, the survival rules of the big teams, traditional strong teams, and ordinary teams are completely different.

Naturally, the big teams want to win every league and European Cup match, which will help them compete for the league title and advance to the final in the cup.

Traditional strong teams strive to compete for matches that should be won on paper, and in the face of strong teams, they may voluntarily give up some games to win matches against teams that are not as strong on paper, while ensuring the team's competitiveness in the league.

Ordinary teams are even more miserable, and all they have to do is go all out to relegate with limited signings. Their tactical strategies are also mostly defensive counterattacks and buses.

Of course, in a league like Serie A, which itself has a "defense-oriented" gene, most of their teams are good at defense.

At this moment, Southampton coach Puel is replacing two players who can provide assistance on the offensive end with physical but inexperienced players, hoping to rely on the running ability brought by the physical advantage of the new force to bring more contribution to the team's defense.

"Head, shall we change and strengthen it..." Davis's voice became quieter and quieter, until it finally disappeared.

At this moment, as the bench of the giants Manchester United, there are almost no people who can adjust to play.

"Trust the quality of the players on the field." Louis van Gaal put his finger in his mouth and whistled hard, and when the Manchester United player on the pitch looked back at him, Van Gaal pointed his finger hard at the Southampton goal.

Go on the offensive.

......

Rooney sat on the bench, his hands covered his face with his outstretched hands, revealing only a pair of eyes.

He watched the figure in Manchester United's iconic red shirt running around the field, but his heart suddenly felt mixed.

Rooney didn't continue looking, he buried his eyes under his palm.

......

The game passed by second by second, and all the Southampton players on the pitch except for the center Pelle stood in front of the field, all the other players retired in their own half.

When they have the opportunity to possess the ball, they do not choose to risk passing, but try to drive the ball far or out of bounds.

They are using their own methods to dismember the game so that Manchester United's attack cannot be as smooth and coherent as a rolling tide.

In the 89th minute, Manchester United's right-back McNair suddenly fell to the ground.

The Southampton player with the ball kicked the ball off the field.

"It's not bad to accumulate a point, Manchester United can't hold it here." Southampton's captain Jose Fonte looked at McNair who had fallen to the ground from a distance, wiped the sweat from his face and said to Maya Yoshida on his side.

"Captain, we can't relax. When we played against the Dragon Country national team, Chen Huan killed us in stoppage time. Maya Yoshida said very seriously.

Ruoze nodded and shouted at his teammates, "You all heard Maya Yoshida's words?" Cheer me up.

"Got it, Captain." The players responded loudly, but they did not see how heavy this matter was.

Without him, the players of Manchester United are now basically physically consumed, and there are no moths.

......

The Manchester United side, from the players to the coach, was worried about McNair's physical condition, and after confirming that the other party was only cramping because of too much fatigue, he simply adjusted a few times and recovered.

Manchester United also took the initiative to return the ball to Southampton.

The fourth official on the sidelines raised the sign in his hand at this time.

"Three minutes of stoppage time."
