As soon as the game started, Ferguson was sitting in the coach's box. He just drank some water, took out a piece of chewing gum for himself, put it in his mouth and didn't even have time to chew it, when he heard the exclamations of the fans in the audience.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a sky-blue figure flying past the stadium in front of him at a very fast speed. His eyes were so shocked that he stood up from his seat.
Then he saw Suarez's cross pass, the lightning-like figure from behind Fletcher and O'Shea, folded into the left side of Manchester United's penalty area, and volleyed into Manchester United's goal.
Referee Weber's crisp whistle was the final word!
Ferguson was dumbfounded.
"What happened just now?" the old knight asked in a daze.
"Too... too fast, I didn't see it clearly!" Mike Phelan shook his head blankly.
Indeed, everything that just happened was really too fast.
Not only did the people on the sidelines not see it clearly, but the fans on the court didn't see it clearly, and even many players in the stadium didn't see it clearly either.
Why did he suddenly score a goal for no reason?
Ferguson raised his head and looked at the big screen. At this moment, the entire scoring process was being replayed live on TV.
From the moment Javi Martinez passed to Robinho, Gareth Bale was accelerating.
Without anyone noticing, he suddenly sprinted into Manchester United's penalty area near the midline, and then hit the far corner with his left foot. It was so fast and shocking!
Ferguson was also so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth.
Oh my God!
Is this a goal?
accidental?
But the remaining rationality in Ferguson's mind told him that this was probably not a coincidence.
Because in this game, Gao Shen actually took Felipe and let Gareth Bale start.
He had always been strange before. Felipe Luis was a great player and a veteran who had won a double at Real Madrid. There was no reason to leave him alone unless he was injured.
But Ferguson never thought that there was another possibility.
That is, Gao Shen will use Gareth Bale to defeat the enemy!
This goes against everyone’s logic, doesn’t it?
Gareth Bale used to have a bit of a reputation, but it was not obvious. Apart from his speed, the biggest memory point is that he made Tottenham Hotspur winless for 24 consecutive games. He was a disaster star.
Who would have thought that this scourge, who has been inconspicuous so far this season, would suddenly replace Felipe, who is the absolute main force today?
Now that I think about it, this is most likely a profound and well-targeted decision.
Had he already thought of using Gareth Bale?
Ferguson was a little depressed. He turned his head and glanced at Gao Shen in front of the visiting team's coaching bench and found that he was giving a thumbs up to Gareth Bale from a distance. He was obviously celebrating Bale's goal, but at the same time he made a push and
Hand knife action.
Damn it, is this bad guy encouraging Bell to continue attacking Manchester United?
…
If Gao Shen knew what Ferguson was thinking at this moment, he would definitely say with grievance: I am more unjust than Dou E.
Why did I tell him to step up his attack on Manchester United?
At best, I just let him continue to play like this and continue to play Manchester United's right wing!
But I have to say that Gareth Bale's performance did surprise him a little.
It's reasonable, but unexpected.
However, Gao Shen turned around and was celebrating with the coaching staff. From the expressions on each of their faces, he could read their exclamation, and the sense of accomplishment and pride in his heart suddenly skyrocketed.
Gareth Bale certainly lived up to his expectations!
More importantly, if this move is used well, it is really difficult to defend.
However, after training Gareth Bale, Gao Shen did not run into trouble. That is, many players began to secretly come to him, asking when he would open a small corner for them and help them develop a killer move?
Professional players all know that when a killer move is close to their side, it will definitely kill people and steal goods. Uh, no, it is a nuclear weapon that stretches across the court.
You don't need someone as incredible as Gareth Bale, as long as he is half as powerful and can bring out their characteristics and advantages, that's fine.
Gao Shen also responded to requests, but also reassured the players and said they should take their time.
This is also normal.
If you could really build a team in one go, you would be able to go to the moon.
…
The game restarts.
After Manchester United kicked off, Manchester City continued to press and press the Red Devils.
A goal was conceded, but the morale of the Red Devils is still there, and so is the fighting spirit of the players.
Manchester United has always been a team that gets stronger when it encounters a strong opponent, and will not be easily defeated just because of a conceding goal.
But Manchester City also tasted the sweetness, especially Gao Shen's pre-match arrangements.
Blue Moon will attack both wings tonight, mainly with Robinho and Robben cutting inside, while Gareth Bale's cutting back will become an important means for the team to kill the enemy.
To put it simply, it is to draw Manchester United's defensive attention away from the left wing and allow Gareth Bale to roam freely.
Manchester United also stepped up their marking of Gareth Bale, especially Fletcher, who paid close attention to this side.
Once upon a time, Gareth Bale -->>
[Reading updates are slow to load, there are ads, and chapters are incomplete. Please exit Reading and read again!]
Just as it was about to start, Fletcher was decisively fouled.
Robinho and Robben also frequently dribbled the ball into Manchester United's defense, creating many threats.
This allowed Manchester City to suppress Manchester United on the court, and it felt like they wanted to devour Manchester United in one go.
Ferguson's team gathered from the center line to the front edge of their own penalty area to contain Manchester City.
When the game began to show signs of a stalemate, in the 13th minute, Gareth Bale once again appeared on the left side of the center line and received a pass from Javi Martinez.
As soon as he received the ball, he saw O'Shea who was closest and Fletcher in the middle running towards him at the same time.
Facing O'Shea, Bell pulled the ball sideways, avoiding O'Shea who was trying to get closer. He suddenly accelerated from the inside and passed between O'Shea and Fletcher, relying on speed and explosive power to forcefully overtake.
The entire Old Trafford stadium broke into a cold sweat and there was a burst of exclamations.
I saw Bell racing as fast as he could, taking the ball in strides along the left side.
Ferdinand quickly made a move, but Bell slowed down slightly at first, but as soon as he regained his composure, he saw Ferdinand sticking to the inside, trying to prevent him from entering the penalty area. He slightly adjusted his direction, changed to the outside, and accelerated again.
Soon enough, the Welshman suddenly moved away from Ferdinand, trying to forcefully overtake from the outside.
But Ferdinand was experienced after all. After turning around suddenly, before Bell could get up to speed, he made a decisive tackle on the ground and shoveled the ball from Bell's feet out of the baseline.
Until this moment, all the Manchester United fans in the audience breathed a sigh of relief.
That moment just now was so exciting!
No one with a weak heart can bear it!
"Gareth Bale's speed is so fast that it is difficult for Manchester United's defense to stop him, especially O'Shea, who was almost thrown away by him at once."
"Ferdinand's defense was very good this time and did not give Bell a good chance."
"But we must also see that the game is only thirteen minutes old and Gareth Bale's threat continues."
"Gao Shen once again brought us a huge surprise tonight."
"Look at Manchester City's corner kick this time. It was actually Gareth Bale who took the kick. Oh my God, how good is his set piece skills?"
"The penalty reaches the front point, Javi Martinez heads the ball!"
"A little bit higher."
"This corner kick was of high quality."
"Gareth Bale, the most eye-catching player in the Manchester derby so far tonight."
Having been destroyed by Ferdinand just now, Gareth Bale gasped and walked back. When he passed the home team's coaching bench, he saw Ferguson nervously standing on the sidelines, with a solemn expression on his face.
In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, head coach Gao Shen also stood on the sidelines, giving him a thumbs up and pointing to Manchester United. His lips moved slightly. Gareth Bale didn't understand lip language, but he vaguely guessed the head coach.
mouth shape.
"Fuck them! You are the most handsome boy in Manchester tonight!"
Bell smiled slightly, nodded, and ran back faster.
…
The game restarts.
Manchester City still launched a high-pressure press against Manchester United. They did not give up when the situation was good, but wanted to go all out.
After grabbing the ball, Manchester City patiently moved forward and organized in Manchester United's half.
David Silva, Rakitic and Javi Martinez, coupled with the front trident and two central defenders, ensure that Manchester City has sufficient ball control capabilities.
Manchester United has no good way to deal with this. They can only stabilize their defense and quickly organize and plan a counterattack after grabbing the ball.
But at this time, Manchester United's counterattack exposed problems.
Lack of speed!
Whether it is Berbatov, Rooney, or the aging Giggs, speed is not their strong point. In front of Manchester City's two highly mobile central defenders, they do not have much advantage in counterattacks.
The protection of Javi Martinez and the suppression of Rakitic and David Silva made it difficult for them to attack Manchester City's defense head-on.
So the situation was formed on the scene. Manchester City controlled the ball and patiently organized and planned the attack, while Manchester United counterattacked but did not pose much threat.
Until the 21st minute, Robinho took the ball again, retreated diagonally to the center, and passed the ball back to David Silva, but the latter was marked by Fletcher.
He turned around and took the ball to the left, and passed it to Gareth Bale who came up quickly.
As soon as the Welshman received the ball, before Fletcher could catch up, he led forward along the left sideline and gradually approached O'Shea.
As soon as the Manchester United right back was about to get close to Gareth Bale, he saw the Welshman suddenly pressing against the left sideline and constantly approaching. First, he made a move to cut inside. After a feint, he directly used the left side and relied on force.
Use your own speed to force overtaking.
Such a simple and crude sprint, especially at such a fast speed, made O'Shea a little unexpected. He actually had nothing to do with Gareth Bale. He could only turn around and chase him behind him to prevent him from cutting inside.
.
But this time Gareth Bale did not think about cutting in. Instead, after getting rid of O'Shea, on the left side of the penalty area, before Ferdinand could get close, he made a cross with his left foot and sent the ball straight to the back of the goal.
point.
I saw Robben, who was still wandering on the right side of the penalty spot just now. After attracting the attention of the defense in front of Suarez, he quietly inserted himself from behind and met Gareth Bale's cross. He made a close pass.
He headed the ball into Manchester United's goal, which was close at hand.
