"The first half of the game is over! Southampton and Manchester United were tied zero to zero! The number of shots taken by both sides in the first half was actually not that small. Southampton had seven shots, five of which were within the goal frame, and Manchester United also had one.
Five times, four times he hit the goal frame! However, De Gea and Navas's wonderful saves prevented the two sides from scoring any goals! It was the first time for both goalkeepers to play in the Premier League, but their performance was very different.
outstanding!"
"I'm not surprised that De Gea performed well. He had already shown a top level in the previous season at Atletico Madrid, and his height and reactions proved that he is a top goalkeeper, but he is only 1.86 meters tall.
It's surprising that Navas can perform so well, Southampton has conceded a lot of goals before..."
"Although Navas has conceded a lot of goals, his number of saves so far ranks first in the Premier League! Under him is a top star like Cech! So don't look down on him, he is also a top goalkeeper!"
The commentators commented on the first half of the game one after another. Although there was no goal in the first half, it was still very rich in content. The offenses of both sides were very good, but they could not break through the goalkeepers of both sides who were in good condition.
Ten fingers closed.
Regarding this situation, the two head coaches seemed to have no good solution. They just emphasized that in the second half, they should be more patient in the offense and shoot more decisively. After all, facing a top goalkeeper, it is difficult to break through without a decisive shot.
The opponent's fingers are closed.
Ferguson also began to feel that his team was indeed a bit weak, especially on the front line. Once Berbatov was injured, Manchester United didn't even have a player who could attack the city well - Rooney is very good.
But he is not really able to bring in a lot of goals. He has been playing as a support player at Manchester United over the years. Although he scored a lot of goals last season, this season it has been revealed that he is unfamiliar with the position of scorer.
As for Xiao Wandou... he is a very good forward and very popular, but he is also not a top shooter.
Looking at other teams, there is no shortage of top strikers. Chelsea has Drogba and Torres, Liverpool has Suarez and Lambert, Arsenal has Robin van Persie... These are all shooters who can bring a lot of goals, but Manchester United has
Such a person is missing.
But that’s just for the future, I still have to do a good job in this game.
"Attack more and shoot from long range when you have the chance." Ferguson called Rooney and then said to him.
The Manchester United captain nodded. This is the time for him to stand up.
The second half of the game begins.
The two sides continued to struggle on the court. Schneiderlin performed very well in this game. He kept running back and forth laterally, intercepting Manchester United's offense. At the same time, every time he got the ball, he would accurately distribute the ball immediately.
It has to be said that for young players, sometimes sitting on the bench is also very valuable. As long as he can observe what those outstanding players do and then use it in training, his level will gradually improve.
Obviously Schneiderlin has been paying attention to the defense and running of his compatriot Matuidi recently.
With him and Dembele in the midfield, Southampton's midfield defense is like a filter, directly filtering out Manchester United's offense. The remaining offense wants to have a huge impact on Southampton's defense.
, it’s very difficult.
Ferguson continued to look at the field. Now his hope was on Rooney. He hoped that Rooney could seize an opportunity to make a world impact and solve the problem...
All he wants is one goal!
However, before Rooney could complete such a miracle, someone from Southampton did it first.
The game reached the sixty-minute mark.
Blind got the ball at the back, and then he decisively made a long pass!
This long pass flew forward, Giroud ran horizontally to receive it, and then got in front of Ferdinand and unloaded the ball directly.
Ronaldo, who was penetrating forward, took the ball. He took the ball about thirty meters away from the goal. William began to run on the right, preparing to advance, which also attracted a lot of attention.
Vidic calmly stopped at the edge of the penalty area and never made a rash advance - a rash advance would easily allow this boy with excellent technical skills to pass by.
However, the next moment, Ronaldo raised the ball with his left foot, then quickly raised his left foot again and kicked the ball hard!
Vidic noticed something was wrong immediately, but his attack was still a step too slow!
The ball roared into the air, then dropped rapidly and flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
De Gea flew into the air and stretched his arms as much as possible in the air. However, when his fingertips were about to touch the ball, the ball had already roared from the junction of the crossbar and the post and flew into the Manchester United gate!
World wave! Well-deserved world wave!
J. Ronaldo continues to hit the world with the best goals in the Premier League this round!
"Wonderful! So wonderful! James Rodriguez! When the two sides were in a deadlock, it was his kick that broke the deadlock for Southampton! What a great goal!"
The commentator shouted like a madman, and Ronaldo opened his arms and rushed to the stands. The Southampton fans shouted in unison, shouting Ronaldo's name.
When Ronaldo joined, he was replacing Lambert's shadow forward position that fans loved so much, so many Southampton fans watched with cold eyes and didn't think how outstanding this young Colombian could be.
Performance.
But now...
Damn, it smells so good.
This is Ronaldo's eighth goal in the league this season and his fourth consecutive game recently. Except that he needs time to adapt at the beginning, he has now fully demonstrated what a top attacker should do.
quality.
From this perspective, his money was well spent.
Ferguson shook his head. This kind of world wave was exactly what he hoped Rooney would do, but the opponent did it...
However, he was not tempted. After all, Ronaldo was still young, and the cost of joining Southampton was 12 million pounds. How much would it cost to poach someone from Southampton?
It sounds like Manchester United is not short of money, but in recent years, especially after the Graetz family took over, Ferguson has been very economical in spending money. He rarely spends money and makes up for it relatively.
"Patiently attack! There is still a long time to play!"
Ferguson clapped his hands and shouted loudly to the court.
His prestige among Manchester United players is undoubted. At this time, he shouted, and the Manchester United players who were a little depressed because of losing the ball immediately cheered up.
"This is prestige... I don't know when I will have such prestige, but it's normal. I wasn't born when he coached Manchester United. He is about to retire now..." Ji Ya thought in his heart.
