I build a giant in the Premier League

Chapter 62: Reversal of Manchester United
"The ball went in!!!"

"In the 43rd minute, Franck Ribery intercepted the ball from Sylvester in the frontcourt and equalized the score for Bayswater Chinese!"

"1 to 1!"

"Ribery once again showed his amazing talent!"

"The French winger scored a goal at a crucial moment to keep the hopes of the Chinese in Bayswater alive."

The entire Loftus Road stadium's fans rushed out of their seats frantically.

How frustrated and disappointed they felt when Manchester United scored the penalty just now.

Now, they are doubly, even ten times, excited!
Ribery also turned around and rushed out of the stadium, slid to his knees on the sidelines, and screamed to the sky.

Behind him, the Bayswater Chinese players chased out one by one.

draw!

"Ferguson was furious on the sidelines."

"He had ten thousand reasons to be angry and unhappy with Sylvester's mistake."

"In the final moments of the first half, Bayswater Chinese equalized the score."

"Ribery's goal is definitely a reflection of his personal ability and it also changed the course of the game."

"0-1 or 1-1, going into halftime with two different scores, has a completely different impact on the trend of the second half, the mentality of the players, and the morale of the team."

“That’s what a key player does!”

"Ribery showed us his talent with a wonderful goal at a crucial moment."

More than 1 fans at the scene were all shouting Ribery's name crazily.

They were all conquered!
When the Frenchman stood up from the ground, he did not forget to wave to the fans in the stands.

This earned him another round of applause from the audience.

……

The first half ended with 1-1.

The League Cup semi-final schedule is different from the Champions League, there is no away goals rule.

Therefore, even if the game ends with a 1-1 draw, it will go into overtime, followed by a penalty shootout.

However, Yang Cheng did not intend to do so.

In the locker room during the half-time break, Yang Cheng first praised Ribery by name, followed by Las Diarra and Joe Hart.

All three players performed very well in the first half.

In addition, Yang Cheng also specifically praised Kevin Fury.

In reality, Kevin Fury's performance wasn't great.

As a right-back, he was very active opposite Giggs.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Kevin Fury.

He tried his best.

Looking at the current European football scene, how many right-backs can say with confidence that they can defend against Giggs?
The reason why Yang Cheng praised Kevin Fury was that he hoped he could continue to maintain his level at the start of the second half.

Because he will replace Piszczek later.

So he needs to consider Kevin Fury's feelings.

Yang Cheng found a reason, which was consumption.

Earlier, Yang Cheng had promised Piszczek that he would play in the match against Manchester United.

But not a starter.

It is because he knows that Manchester United will play Arsenal at the weekend, and will be fighting on three fronts in a row. The Red Devils will have much more pressure and physical energy consumption than the Chinese in Bayswater.

At least, in the past week, the Chinese in Bayswater have been waiting for the opportunity.

"It's what I stressed before the game. Heinze and Sylvester are both very tired."

"And Roy Keane, he's 33, can he handle playing so many games in a row?"

Speaking of which, this is also a very strange phenomenon in English football.

In England, it is generally believed that fatigue is a symptom that can be overcome through the players' mental will.

The most famous statement was made by Liverpool legend Dalglish, who has said similar things more than once.

Ferguson is also a supporter of this idea.

Many people think that Ferguson has a quick learning ability, is very humble, and is not xenophobic...

But don't think that he is a very positive and open-minded person because of this.

On the contrary, Ferguson is a very conservative British man at heart!
Yang Cheng had concluded in his previous life that the reason why Manchester United collapsed rapidly after Ferguson retired was, in addition to various management reasons, the rapid collapse of the player lineup was also a very important factor.

Why did it collapse?
Because Ferguson places too much emphasis on young local players.

A few years before his retirement, he brought in local players with higher transfer fees instead of more capable EU players.

This made Manchester United miss the best opportunity for metabolism.

With this mentality, it is not surprising that Roy Keane, at the age of 33, played so many games in a row during this period, and played the full game.

Not to mention young Heinze and Sylvester.

"In the second half, we will still target these three players."

"When Ribery gets the ball, Lambert should pay attention to pulling it horizontally and try to pull Manchester United's defense, especially Silvester and Heinze."

"Lennon should pay attention to his running and get into the penalty area if he has the chance."

When Aaron Lennon nodded in agreement, Yang Cheng looked at Ribery.

"Frank, Gary Neville is in good form and he likes to go forward when the team is not attacking well."

"So, don't go head-to-head with him on the wing too much, try to play more behind him and in the flank, or even switch to the right."

This is equivalent to giving Ribery more tactical authority.

The Frenchman also knew how much the head coach valued him and nodded confidently.

When he first came to Bayswater Chinese in 03, he was seriously lacking in self-confidence.

But in this team, under the guidance of Yang Cheng, he made rapid progress and became more and more confident.

He is still very short and his face is still very ugly, but his performance on the court is getting sharper and sharper.

The fans are loving him more and more.

This also made his ambition grow bigger and bigger.

Beat Manchester United and further prove their strength.

This is what he wants to do now!

……

The second half of the game started with Huddlestone fouling Giggs.

In just 13 seconds, Manchester United won a free kick in the frontcourt.

Scholes' direct shot was blocked by the wall and Gary Neville's long shot was high.

But just 3 minutes later, there was another long-distance free kick.

Ronaldo took the penalty again and hit the wall again.

Yang Cheng found it funny watching from the sidelines.

President Luo's two free kicks tonight both hit the human wall, which is not very efficient.

In the 51st minute, Roy Keane's foul on Modric caught Yang Cheng's attention.

This time Styles gave the United captain a yellow card.

At that time, Modric stopped the ball, deceived Keane with a fake move, and tried to dribble past him, but was tackled from the side and behind by Roy Keane.

Yang Cheng believed that Ferguson must have noticed it as well.

Roy Keane is really almost done with it.

As soon as the second half started, the frequency of movements could not keep up.

But Ferguson still did not make any substitutions.

In the 53rd minute, Saha took a long shot from about 25 meters on the left.

In the 55th minute, after being intercepted by Las Diarra, Ronaldo kicked Las Diarra's leg while trying to steal the ball.

The French are not to be trifled with either, and they are ready to fight Ronaldo directly.

The final result was that both sides received a yellow card.

In the 58th minute, Ferguson finally made a substitution.

He replaced Fletcher with Rooney.

Fletcher is still a young player and his performance is average. After Rooney came on the field, Manchester United's formation changed from 433 to 442 with two strikers.

Scholes formed a central midfield role alongside Roy Keane.

After returning to 442, Gary Neville's forward penetration was obviously stronger.

This has been Manchester United's most powerful attacking channel in the past few years.

The right-wing combination of Beckham and Gary Neville has now become just Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the 61st minute, Gary Neville made a forward run and sent a cross from the right to find Saha in the penalty area.

Koscielny headed the ball out.

But the ball didn't go far.

Roy Keane followed up and fired a long shot.

Taller.

“They’re pretty much all long shots now.”

Brian Kidd reminded Yang Cheng as he walked back to the home team's coaching booth.

Yang Cheng noticed it.

This means that Manchester United's offense has no good way to deal with the defense of the Chinese in Bayswater.

Ever since Beckham left, Manchester United's offense has not been smooth.

From the perspective of future generations, Ferguson is now pushing Queiroz to carry out tactical reforms at Manchester United and try to introduce tactical styles from continental Europe.

Therefore, Saha was given an important position.

Dutch center forward Van Nistelrooy's playing became more and more awkward.

In the 67th minute, Manchester United launched another attack.

Gary Neville made a lob pass into the penalty area from the right.

Rooney made a diagonal run to the right side of the penalty area, and after receiving a pass from Gary Neville under the interference of Jose Fonte, he barely kicked the ball into the goal.

Joe Hart made a precise side dive and saved the ball from going out of bounds on the right side of the goal.

This wonderful save won the England goalkeeper a round of applause.

Joe Hart is really good at goal line defense.

After that, Manchester United's corner kick failed to pose a threat.

Yang Cheng looked at the time and asked Piszczek to warm up quickly.

When the Pole finished warming up and ran back, Yang Cheng only gave him one instruction.

"Lambert should pay attention to pulling horizontally, let Ribery put some pressure on Gary Neville, let Aaron Lennon press Heinze, you need to get forward more and give Aaron Lennon more support."

Yang Cheng did not explain the reason, but directly told Piszczek what to do.

The Pole nodded in agreement.

In the 71st minute, Piszczek stood on the sidelines, replaced Kevin Fury, and brought Yang Cheng's latest instructions onto the court.

……

Just a positional substitution!
This should be what everyone was thinking when Kevin Fury left the field.

Ferguson did not seem to intend to respond, but instead asked his team to continue to put pressure on the Bayswater Chinese.

Although there are not many ways to attack, Ferguson feels that after a long period of attack, the opponent will definitely reveal a flaw.

As a Championship team, it was quite good that Bayswater Chinese's defense could hold out for more than an hour under Manchester United's firepower.

As for Piszczek, he is not a starter this season either.

But after the Pole came on the pitch, Ferguson's eyelids jumped when he first touched the ball.

He ran to an empty space on the right, made a slight adjustment when receiving the ball, and made a diagonal pass to the middle, hanging the ball behind the Manchester United defense.

Lambert rushed forward but failed to reach the ball.

Howard left the goal and confiscated the ball near the penalty spot.

There was a sigh at the scene.

If it was Kitson who scored the goal, it would have gone in!

Lambert's speed was still a lot slower.

Ferguson couldn't help but frown and glanced at the young player.

Good footwork!

As the game progressed, he also began to notice that the right side of the Bayswater Chinese had changed after Piszczek came on the pitch.

Aaron Lennon moved further forward and began to frequently interfere with Heinze.

But Ferguson still didn't make any adjustments.

He believes his players have enough experience to deal with this young opponent.

But in the 76th minute, Manchester United attacked the frontcourt and passed the ball to the left to Heinze.

Aaron Lennon rushed towards the Argentine defender immediately.

It all looks pretty much the same as before.

All Heinze needs to do is pass the ball.

However, due to excessive physical exhaustion and fatigue, the Argentine's movements were a little slow. He did not pass the ball immediately, but wanted to stop for a while to stabilize.

Lennon has very strong explosive power and he rushed forward to grab the ball.

Heinze's defense is fierce, but his footwork is not his strong point.

Due to fatigue and rushing, he failed to stop the ball properly on his first try. When he was competing with Lennon for the ball, he accidentally let Lennon snatch the ball away from him.

The Argentine counterattacked immediately and even tripped Lennon.

But Lennon got there first and kicked the ball to Piszczek.

In line with the principle of offensive advantage, the referee did not blow the whistle.

Piszczek stopped the ball to his left front and accelerated to catch up.

Manchester United's formation was leaning towards the right side of the Bayswater Chinese. After Piszczek caught up with the ball, he made a diagonal pass and transferred the ball to the left side of the frontcourt.

Ribery rushed forward at top speed.

Gary Neville was hot on his inside.

Two players are competing in speed.

In the end, Ribery took the lead, caught up with Piszczek's pass, and kicked the ball behind Gary Neville.

The French winger made a sudden stop, shook off Gary Neville and cut inside laterally.

Manchester United's right-back was caught off guard and reached out to pull Ribery.

But he only pulled Ribery's jersey.

The jersey was so slippery that I couldn't hold it up at all.

The French winger quickly caught up with the ball he had lobbed.

Lambert ran diagonally to receive the pass from Ribery on the left side of the penalty area.

He stood in position, turned his back, stopped the ball, blocked Ferdinand, and then passed it back to Ribery who was running sideways.

The two completed a beautiful one-two combination.

Ribery chased the ball and kicked it to Modric on the right side of the arc before Roy Keane got close.

For a moment, everyone, including Roy Keane and Sylvester who had returned to defense, turned their attention to Modric.

No one noticed that Ribery suddenly changed direction and went straight into the penalty area.

Modric understood what he meant and sent a straight pass, which penetrated the double-team of Sylvester and Roy Keane and landed right at Ribery's feet in the penalty area.

This pass was almost perfect!
Ribery didn't even make any adjustments and just pushed the ball forward.

The ball stuck to the ground and crossed the United goal line before Howard fell to the ground.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Ribery!"

"It's Franck Ribery again!"

"In the 76th minute, Manchester United made a mistake in passing the ball in the frontcourt, and Bayswater Chinese launched a quick counterattack. Ribery received an assist from Modric and scored another goal for Bayswater Chinese!"

"Manchester United conceded two goals due to mistakes made by their own defenders!"

“This is a very, very bad thing!”

The entire Loftus Road Stadium has been completely thrown into carnival!

reversed!
They actually reversed Manchester United!
