spn Li Yu's free kick goal became an important turning point in this game.
In the following games, Manchester United's terrifying efficiency put Portsmouth into a difficult situation again. The offense was not good, and the defense was not good. Redknapp did not urge the players on the field to attack before the end of the first half. He
I didn't want my offense to be ineffective, but instead be completely defeated by Manchester United's counterattack. I was more conservative in the first half, and then coordinated the offensive and scoring arrangements in the midfield.
The scene was a little strange. The usual Manchester United time did not appear. Portsmouth's attack was unhurried and unhurried, and it was still the rhythm of the opening, as if they were the leading side.
The home fans seemed to understand Portsmouth's intentions and reserved all their energy for the second half. It was dull on and off the field.
The score remained unchanged until the end of the first half, and players from both teams entered the halftime break.[
Ferguson had known the opponent's coach's plan for a long time, unified the players' thinking, and launched a big counterattack in the second half. Redknapp, who always advocated offense, would definitely let his team attack in the second half. Sir Alex Ferguson also made a big move in the midfield.
With the corresponding arrangement, Li Yu no longer needs to retreat, he just wanders around Portsmouth's half looking for opportunities. There is always an offensive point in the frontcourt, and the remaining Manchester United players have to participate in the defense. Li Yu has no fixed position.
According to the arrangement, he can freely move around Portsmouth's territory.
At the beginning of the second half, Portsmouth, as expected, started to attack desperately. Redknapp's offense was also very simple, with high balls from both sides and high-altitude bombing.
Manchester United's two central defenders have absolutely top-notch air defense capabilities, and their handling of high-altitude balls is not inferior to Crouch, who is even taller than them.
After 5 minutes of high-altitude bombing, with no results, Portsmouth changed their offensive routine again. It was obvious that this was in the midfield. Redknapp had already arranged the tactics and used high-intensity bombing to consume Manchester United's defense.
Wait until Manchester United get used to Portsmouth's offensive routine.
Portsmouth immediately made changes. This was the real killer move. Success or failure would be determined within these few minutes.
The first two Portsmouth players completed the layout and changes very well. Ferguson chewed gum at a significantly faster rate on the sidelines. Obviously he saw the key and was a little worried about the situation on the field!
Portsmouth's two wide players moved closer to the center, leaving both full-backs on both sides. The midfielder immediately formed a numerical advantage.
The rhythm of passing and receiving also changes accordingly. I would be lying if I took it slowly. Portsmouth cannot maintain such efficient passing like Manchester United for a long time. It is still possible to suddenly make a few kicks!
Amid the cheers from the home fans, Portsmouth began a real offensive. For a while, Manchester United's defense was under great pressure.
Defoe's legs shot out of the door, causing Van der Sar to break into a cold sweat.
Although the score has not been changed, Manchester United has been completely passive on the scene.
In the 56th minute, Redknapp decided to gamble to the end and replaced Utaka, a striker, with defensive midfielder Sean Davis who was defending Li Yu.
Understanding the coach's determination to do everything possible, Portsmouth's offensive performance became even crazier. They couldn't control much of the defense. The key now was to score a few goals at once and completely defeat Manchester United.
Except for Li Yu, all Manchester United players on the field retreated to half court to defend and hold on to the offense at this moment.
Except for the goalkeeper of the home team, Li Yu is the most leisurely person on the field at this moment. It is not like this. It seems that there is no chance to get the ball. Li Yu is not just running back and forth.
Every time Manchester United had a chance to launch a counterattack, Li Yu would not hesitate to run into space.
Several times, Portsmouth's defensive players felt that this kid was just eating too much. The ball was obviously not going to be passed, so why did you run, which made us nervous.
Chance is a well-prepared person. This is not wrong at all. Li Yu did not relax for a moment. Portsmouth's two wingers pressed heavily, and there was a huge gap on both sides of the central defender.
Li Yu resolutely runs towards this point every time. Once he seizes an opportunity, the situation on the field may be reversed immediately.[
Manchester United maintains a very good defensive level, and the formation is not chaotic at all. It is not difficult for professionals to see how much effort the Manchester United club has put into their usual training.
It's easy to say "dangerous but not chaotic", but there are only a few teams that can actually do it.
Finally having a chance to breathe, Scholes received the ball from Van der Sar and looked up to observe the situation in front. Li Yu also discovered that his teammate had already picked up the ball.
Without any time to signal, Li Yu resolutely rushed towards the most threatening space. At the same time, Scholes also observed the same route.
A long ball passed through the midfield in an instant and floated directly into the space behind Portsmouth's two central defenders.
Ferguson had clenched his fists and stared nervously at the court, "Let them see your performance!"
What the coach said must be right. Li Yu used his speed advantage to get rid of Portsmouth's central defender. He turned sideways and used his chest to lead the ball forward. Li Yu caught up with him in stride and accelerated towards Portsmouth.
Leave the restricted area.
"It's over. Manchester United has become even more perfect with Li Yu's sharp knife!" Redknapp already knows what is going to happen next. After the ball is scored, Portsmouth's offensive momentum will definitely decline. Manchester United's three
The points should have been obtained.
Even the opponent's head coach has already determined that the ball will definitely go in, but Portsmouth goalkeeper James is still interested. What if he stops the ball?
There is no such thing as a chance. Li Yu didn't give James any time. He looked up and saw James just starting to attack. He immediately kicked the ball and the ball hit the net. Li Yu scored his second goal in this game.
After that, he made a silent celebration gesture, not for the fans at the scene, but for the British media.
Shut up, two goals are enough to shut you up!
Li Yu gradually showed his arrogant side. As the stage changed and his self-confidence increased, more and more of Li Yu's unknown sides began to be revealed. The genius girl didn't have a sex, so Li Yu came too late at this time.
.
The home fans didn't know that Li Yu's actions had other intentions, booing, tell us to shut up, booing just for you.
For the rest of the time, boos accompanied Li Yu. As soon as he got the ball, the fans booed immediately. Li Yu had no way to explain it. Anyway, after hearing it too much, he got used to it.
Kick as you should.
Ferguson is not as tolerant as Li Yu. He can also understand the meaning behind Li Yu's actions, but after all, this is his home court. Don't anger the Portsmouth players on the field. Just give you a kick.
This kid Li Yu drinks a pot.
For insurance reasons, in the 69th minute, Ferguson replaced Li Yu with Poseibang to strengthen defense.
Li Yu walked to the bench and hugged Ferguson, "Boss, I also want to give you a hat?"
Hat trick is a Chinese term. Like Big Four, it is a resounding title given to players who score more goals.
Ferguson obviously did not understand what Li Yu meant, "You can give it away when I go to the horse racing!"
The conversation between the two people did not mean the same thing at all, and Li Yu did not explain further. He took the coat handed over by the staff and sat on the bench to continue watching the game.
"Give you water!"
"Okay, thank you!" Li Yu took the kettle, took a few sips, and returned to the playing field.[
With Li Yu's dismissal, the game seemed to have returned to the first half. Without the stimulation of boos from the fans, Portsmouth's offense became very casual.
Leave the backcourt to the frontcourt and leave the remaining three forwards to your own devices!
What else can be done? Redknapp shook his head on the sidelines. The game is already over. If the game continues, Manchester United can only score. Portsmouth has no hope of attacking. Manchester United is really like that.
Invincible?
Lao Lei is still a little unconvinced in his heart, but this is how Manchester United feels to most league clubs now. Just fight. There is no need to compete with Manchester United. Fight hard. Players will think like this. What else can the head coach do? You can't be an old man.
Go up and play football.
In the 79th minute, Manchester United once again expanded the score. Tevez made a pass from the front. Evra made a low cross pass from the left side. Fletcher grabbed the ball 6 meters in front of Campbell and James sided.
After failing to save the ball, Distin made a flying tackle on the goal line and sent the ball into his own goal.
An own goal, Portsmouth gave Manchester United a big gift, which could be regarded as a gift to end the game early. In the remaining time, Manchester United did not attack and fell back in the backcourt. Portsmouth players were not too active in fighting. Players on both sides
They are all wasting time.
As the referee blew his whistle, the 90-minute game ended. Manchester United defeated their opponent 3:0 in the away game. The two oldest coaches in the Premier League met twice in half a month, and it was Ferguson who had the last laugh.
.
However, the best player of the game changed. Li Yu became the best player of the game with his outstanding performance of two goals.
During the award presentation, the fans of the home team did not forget to give Li Yulai a few shouts. Even the reporter interviewing on the spot asked, "Lee, how do you feel when you face the boos from the audience?"
"Just listen and you'll get used to it! To say it has an impact, maybe it's just not as good as the applause!"
Li Yu's answer stunned the reporter. Are you used to hearing this?
When the reporter was stunned, the person asking the question immediately changed, "In the two games before and after, there was an obvious difference in performance. How did you adjust?"
"Secret! If I tell you, you will definitely tell it. I'm sorry for all the secrets!"
The reporters still have some sense of humor. Although Li Yu's British jokes were a bit lame, several reporters still smiled.
