Manchester United's substitutions will undoubtedly strengthen their attack.
However, Noriya was not in a hurry to replace him.
The running ability of the players on the field has not declined, and their physical fitness is also very good. Under such circumstances, there is no need to rush to make substitutions, you can take a closer look.
For the game three days later, Southampton has already rotated several main players. If they change the main players now, the strength of the entire team may drop a lot.
After the substitution, Manchester United's offense began to become more direct.
With Welbeck helping to attract firepower, Van Persie's running became more erratic, but Southampton's defenders had no intention of following him and focused on regional defense.
After following Otamendi a few times, he found that it was useless, so he began to focus on regional defense.
However, this characteristic of Van Persie can be considered unique. He is actually very skilled, but he does not hold the ball much. With his technical characteristics, he should be a core player who can take the ball and drive the team's offense. However, he did not
Going further and further down the road of being a pure shooter, I found my own world.
Run, connect, catch the ball and shoot, and reward your team with a lot of goals.
And his performance is worthy of the support the team gives him.
Shortly after Scholes came on the field, he sent a beautiful through pass. The ball flew to the feet of Van Persie in the penalty area. Van Persie immediately started to shoot. Wundt's block was a step slow, but Navas was in position.
Very good, save the ball.
"Did you see that his movements will be half a beat faster, so if you notice this, you can interfere well." Wundt said to his partner.
Otamendi nodded, and he also figured it out at this time - but Van Persie has been able to score so many goals in recent years, not just because his shooting rhythm is half a beat faster...
Southampton's subsequent offense suffered some interference. After Scholes came up, although his defensive ability was average, his vision and judgment ability accumulated over the years were still very good. With his positioning in the midfield and
Interception, Southampton's attack from the center was greatly interfered with.
When the two sides faced each other in attack, they were naturally ebbing and flowing. Southampton's attack was weak, and Manchester United's attack naturally became more intense.
Nani started to force a breakthrough from the wing, and Klein came up to interfere with him. Nani did not force himself to shoot now. After buckling the ball back, he raised his foot and passed the ball into the penalty area.
Seeing Van Persie preparing to catch the ball, Otamendi immediately raised his foot in advance to interfere, but Van Persie stopped the ball and then suddenly turned around!
Caught off guard, Otamendi was swayed by Van Persie. In a hurry, he stepped to intercept, but happened to trip up Van Persie who turned around...
The referee's whistle sounded immediately. He ran into the penalty area and pointed at the penalty spot. At the same time, he called Otamendi and showed him a yellow card...
Otamendi was a little anxious. He was about to go up to argue, but he was pulled away by Lingard. Wundt stepped forward and said to the referee in a friendly manner: "He committed a foul, but his action was also inappropriate."
Not bad, isn’t it a bit harsh to take the card?”
"He was almost the last defensive player. If it weren't for his malicious actions, I would have even given him a red card," the referee replied.
Wundt shrugged his shoulders and then stepped back. His words just reminded the referee that this penalty was a bit harsh. Even if the referee did not admit it, he would make up for it next...
This is experience.
Van Persie personally took the penalty kick.
His volley is powerful, fast, and has a tricky arc. However, he was not able to hit the penalty kick very skillfully. Navas made an accurate judgment, flew sideways, and saved the ball dangerously!
The Southampton fans roared wildly in the stands!
"Oh oh oh! Navas saved Van Persie's penalty! This is really... Van Persie performed very well in this game. He must not lose his mentality because of the missed penalty..."
Navas waved his fist to the stands. At this time, the Costa Rican was full of confidence. In the past few seasons at Southampton, he has completely adapted to the rhythm of European competitions!
This also makes him appear more confident on the court.
But it is obvious that a top striker like Van Persie will not lose his confidence and fighting spirit because of such a mistake.
He is no longer in his early twenties, he is almost thirty years old and has become fully mature.
In the next ten minutes, Van Persie's performance began to become more active.
Manchester United's attack also became more and more fierce. Seeing that Welbeck seemed to have no effect in the middle, Ferguson decisively used the third substitution place. Xiao Wandou came on and replaced Welbeck.
In this way, Manchester United has two standard shooters on the front line.
This made Southampton's defense begin to struggle. Xiaowu Wandou is also the kind of outstanding shooter who rarely tangles with opponents and grabs points through movement.
Once there are two such shooters, the defensive backs will easily have a headache.
It has to be said that Ferguson's tactical adjustment ability is indeed top-notch. Since he can't open up the situation from the front and is at a disadvantage in the middle, then he will completely move the game to the wings and solve the problem in the penalty area!
This is the only way out of desperation, and it is also the only way Manchester United can have a chance to break the deadlock.
"We can only continue to attack." Ji Ya thought silently in his heart.
Southampton's advantage just now was that their midfield suppressed the opponent, and then continuously broke through Manchester United's two relatively weak full-back positions from both wings, and then scored three goals. Now Manchester United has begun to strengthen the attack on the wings.
, thus suppressing Southampton's two wings.
William's side was okay, but Nolito was beginning to be suppressed by the other side.
Just when Noriya was thinking about whether to replace Nolito with Ronaldo, Manchester United scored!
Nani once again broke through from the wing and passed in. Fernandez feinted a shot at the front point, attracting Otamendi's attention. The ball flew to the back point. Robin van Persie, who had been silent from the beginning, appeared at the landing point of the ball.
Lean over and reach the top!
Luke Shaw's interference was a step too late, and he could only watch helplessly as the Dutchman completed the shot!
The ball quickly flew into the near corner of the goal, and Navas seemed to be a step too slow when he flew over!
After scoring the goal, Van Persie did not celebrate, but quickly rushed forward, retrieved the ball and ran back.
A top shooter who is extremely eager for glory...the fighting spirit he bursts out is always amazing.
Ji Ya looked at the performance and saw that it was already the 79th minute of the game. Being ahead by one goal was not considered safe...
"Keep attacking, don't be conservative!" Ji Ya shouted towards the court.
Then he also changed two people in a row, Ronaldo replaced Nolito, and then Klose replaced Benteke - although Benteke was still in good physical condition, he never stopped for a moment in this game.
Running, Ji Ya was also afraid that this newcomer would collapse.
