984 Peak Showdown Monthly Pass)(1/2)
"Manchester United is in trouble now. They have never been able to find a way to score a goal in the face of Aston Villa's defense." Leinker said.
After leading by 1-0, Aston Villa played very pragmatically, the whole team narrowed their defense and began to play against Manchester United's defensive counterattack.
Today, Fang Jue arranged for Milner and Clement to partner with the midfielder.
Compared with the combination of Clement and Modric, the combination of these two people is weaker on the offensive end, but is stronger and more reliable on the defensive end.
Now, Rooney is dribbling the ball, and it is Clement who defends him.
Rooney looked at Clement standing in front of him.
He had a headache.
The guy on the other side is worthy of being the best defensive midfielder in football at present, and he has a very good position selection.
Just standing there, Rooney felt that he was not sure of breaking through from any side.
Of course, in addition to the fact that Clement's selection is indeed very good, it is also a famous player like Clement, which will invisibly have direct relationship with the other party's psychological pressure.
...
Rooney moved the football under his feet and made two fake moves in a row.
Clement was unmoved.
In desperation, Rooney could only pass the football to Hernandez who came to pick up the ball.
Hernandez is about to turn around.
He first shot to the left.
Then quickly turn your body back and turn around at the same time.
Then, he saw Nesta's face.
The Italian veteran was not shaken by his movements at all. He had been ready for battle and directly stretched out his foot to touch the football out of the sideline.
"Beautiful defense, Nesta was not shaking at all. Hernandez's fake moves were useless to Nesta." He Wei exclaimed.
"This is Nesta." Zhang Lu praised, "Although he is old, this is Nesta!"
...
Manchester United's sideline ball.
Hernandez quickly threw the sideline ball.
Rooney did not stop the ball, but directly picked the football.
"pretty!"
At the edge of the penalty area line, Van Persie leaned against Thiago Silva. He did not stop the ball, but instead flipped the ball towards his side.
He turned around quickly.
The Dutch Robin showed everyone his peak strength at this time.
He took two big steps and temporarily left Thiago Silva's defensive range, followed the football, and directly shot with one shot!
"World-class save!"
Ter Stegen jumped and shot the ball out.
Manchester United fans at Old Trafford Stadium were still breathing regretfully, and veteran Giggs headed the ball against the football in the air.
...
"It's empty!"
"Nesta! Nesta! Barb Gate Line Save!"
The commentator shouted excitedly.
This was Nesta who rushed back at a critical moment. He almost used a barb to clear the ball before the football was about to cross the goal line.
Thiago Silva, who came back from the replacement, quickly drove the football out with a big foot.
Sighs of regret sounded from the stands at Old Trafford Stadium.
Then there was a huge applause.
Although Manchester United failed to score two consecutive shots, Manchester United's offense finally successfully broke through Aston Villa's defense and almost scored, especially when Van Persie passed Thiago Silva, it greatly improved Manchester United's morale.
"What a pity, this is an excellent scoring opportunity for Manchester United."
"It's a pity for Van Persie. Of course, Ter Stegen's save is equally wonderful."
"And Nesta, a thirty-seven-year-old veteran, with a barb in front of the goal, which is really amazing."
"It's my responsibility!" Thiago Silva said to his 'master' Nesta and goalkeeper Ter Stegen. He thought that he could stop Van Persie by holding on to his position. Unexpectedly, the Dutch striker completed a turn and breakthrough in this way and formed a single shot opportunity.
Nesta didn't say much, but just patted Thiago Silva on the shoulder to show encouragement.
To be fair, Thiago Silva's defense just now had no mistakes or loopholes.
It can only be said that Van Persie is very strong and in excellent condition today, so she can achieve such a breakthrough.
Such a wonderful breakthrough, it would be amazing to be able to complete a forward in one game, so there is no need to blame yourself if you are beaten by such a breakthrough.
As a central defender, the most important thing is to be steady and not make mistakes. It is very, very good to do this.
As for the goal in the case of an opponent's forward's explosion, this is not within the preset range of the defender.
...
Aston Villa had a chance to open the score in the first half.
This was Ibrahimovic who made the ball to Mane in the frontcourt, who crossed the ball to the goal.
Vardy shoots in front of the goal.
De Gea made an incredible magical save, and he almost saved the football with his fingertips.
Fang Jue thought he had this ball, but when he saw that the football was saved by De Gea, he jumped up and turned around in an upset.
United fans at Old Trafford stadium burst into cheers, and they then shouted De Gea's name.
Not only that, Manchester United fans also improvised a song and sang: Thank you, thank you, Mr. Fang, thank you, thank you for sending David to us!
Premier League fans all have the ability to improvise songs on the spot.
Improvisational arrangements and then the audience sings together.
Take this for example. It was not only a compliment and praise for De Gea, but also a purpose of "striking" Fang Jue to try to make him angry.
Aston Villa almost expanded its lead.
Manchester United equalized the score before the end of the first half.
This is Hernandez falling to the ground after contacting Danny Ross in the penalty area.
The referee Weber pointed to the penalty spot without hesitation.
Danny Ross felt very wronged and tried his best to defend himself, saying that he had not touched Hernandez at all.
Aston Villa captain Clement, Nesta and Ibrahimovic, two veterans, also surrounded the referee and questioned the penalty for the penalty.
"Weber's attitude is very firm. He thinks this is a penalty kick and a yellow card. Webber showed the yellow card to the emotional Ibrahimovic."
Fang Jue was furious on the sidelines. He complained to the fourth official and questioned the penalty for the penalty.
...
The subsequent slow motion showed that Danny Ross did have physical contact with Hernandez, but this contact did not seem to be enough to make Hernandez fall to the ground.
"The penalty for this penalty is worth discussing," He Wei said.
Compared with the attitude of Chinese TV commentators who strive not to offend any fan, in England, John Motson's attitude is more distinct, "This is not a penalty kick, Hernandez is exaggerating."
Of course, some commentators think that the penalty kick is acceptable, "This is a judgment or not. If you don't blew a penalty kick, you can, but Weber's penalty kick was not wrong. After all, there was indeed physical contact between the two sides."
Manchester United gets a penalty kick.
Rooney took the penalty kick.
He made it all in one go, and Ter Stegen judged the right direction, but Rooney took the penalty angle very tricky, and he was unable to touch the football.
"!"
"Rooney! Rooney! Wayne Rooney! Manchester United equalized the score one-to-one, which is a very critical goal. If Manchester United can win this game or even eventually reverse the championship in the league, this goal will be of critical significance." Leinker said.
On the sidelines, Fang Jue was persuaded (threatened) by the fourth official and returned to the visiting team coach's seat in disappointment.
"The imperial referee is very good." Fang Jue whispered.
No wonder he is so unhappy.
Weber enforces Manchester United's game, Manchester United is often the beneficiary, which is even ridiculed as the "monetary referee" of Manchester United and Ferguson.
As a famous whistle that enforced the 20010 World Cup final, Weber can be said to be the number one person in the British referee industry today, but he has repeatedly made relatively biased judgments in Manchester United's game.
The most famous one was in January 20011, when Manchester United and Liverpool were in the FA Cup matchup.
At that time, Weber not only sent off the Red Army Captain Gerald.
