"It's not over!"
"It's not over!"
“It’s really endless!!!”
On the bench, Sir Alex suddenly became impatient for some reason.
He suddenly realized that this game would never end well.
There was no trace of kindness on his furious face.
The prince kept waving his hands, as if looking for something.
But after finding Fanny, he instantly lost his temper.
Manchester United has no shortage of attacking players right now.
What Manchester United needs is a solid defense.
That damn Welshman, why can he always come out at critical moments?
Sir Alex was a little angry. He always felt that things might not develop as he expected. Southampton was more tenacious than imagined.
Is it because Keegan has been trained well?
Sir Alex looked to the sidelines and saw Keegan dancing like a child after Bell scored.
Is it because Bell has a strong ability to seize opportunities?
The old Sir Alex looked into the field and saw that Bell's young face was rosy and he was just a newcomer on the field.
Or is it because of something else?
The old prince's eyes scanned everyone like lasers until they stopped on one person.
"DONG"
The old prince muttered softly.
If there is something missing from Manchester United at the moment than Southampton.
What is missing is a midfielder who can work hard and has B2B capabilities.
So far, all the dirty and tiring work for Southampton has fallen on Wang Xiaodong alone.
Whether it's collisions, blocking, or even tackles and damage, Wang Xiaodong almost takes care of it all by himself.
Looking at Manchester United, Rooney and Saha basically don't care about defense. Giggs, Ronaldinho and O'Shea are not strong enough in defense. Only Park Ji-sung is on the left, traveling back and forth between the two halves.
But so what?
The four defenders led by Gary Neville alone cannot guard against speedy players like Bell and Dyer.
If you are not careful, Bell will seize the opportunity just like before.
"Beep!"
The referee blew his whistle and Manchester United took the lead in making substitutions.
This time, Sir Alex played a big trick and substituted two players in a row.
O'Shea, who had been oppressed by Wang Xiaodong for a long time, was replaced and replaced by Nemanja Vidic; similarly, Wayne Brown, who had just been overwhelmed by Bale's speed, was replaced by Kieran Richardson. Replace.
On Manchester United's bench today, there is a goalkeeper, a forward and three defenders.
Unless Van der Sar is injured, there is no reason for Howard to play, and he will not be used even if it ends in a penalty shootout.
Van Nistelrooy is also a point-grabbing forward, and he can only be sent out when the team needs to strengthen its offense.
The remaining three, Evra, Vidic and Richardson, shoulder the defensive responsibilities of the midfield and backfield.
Richardson is 1.75 meters tall and comes from the Manchester United youth academy. He is a speedy defender.
It was with his loan last season that West Bromwich Albion broke the curse of relegation as the bottom team before Christmas at the last moment.
With his goal in the 75th minute, West Bromwich Albion defeated Portsmouth and successfully avoided relegation.
Subsequently, he was fortunate enough to be selected by Eriksson for the Three Lions national team in the second half of last year, and scored twice in a friendly match against the United States, helping the team defeat the opponent 2-1.
It can be said that Richardson is at the peak of his career.
Sir Alex put him on the field so that he could use his momentum, experience and speed to assist Ferdinand and contain fast players like Bell and Dyer.
Another player, Vidic, was Sir Alex Ferguson's "key magic weapon" against Wang Xiaodong.
Vidic was born in Serbia. In addition to playing for Red Star Belgrade of the Yugoslav League when he was young, he also joined Spartak Moscow in Russia.
Vidic reacts quickly on the court, moves quickly, and is also very good at marking, heading and tackling. His height of 1.91 meters allows him to get more physical support in defense.
Maybe his organizational skills are not the best, but his defensive ability is top-notch.
If his cooperation with Ferdinand hadn't been a little rough, Sir Alex would not have put him on the bench.
Now the old prince sent him to the front line to deal with Wang Xiaodong.
Vidic makes a lot of small moves when fighting and defending. Such a player can easily irritate his opponent.
If Wang Xiaodong cannot control his temper and causes something like the FA Cup, Sir Alex Ferguson might wake up laughing in his dreams.
After Vidic came on, he retreated a lot from O'Shea's position. Even so, he quickly confronted Wang Xiaodong.
For Southampton, who was seizing all the time to attack, taking advantage of the situation and equalizing the score was the top priority.
As for defense?
Just let Wang Xiaodong work harder and run a few more laps.
In the 69th minute, Belmadi and Giggs got together in the midfield.
The two people's feet hooked with each other for a long time, but the ball was kicked towards the midfield by someone unknown.
Watching the ball rolling slowly towards the center line, Wang Xiaodong made a prompt decision and moved forward to meet the ball.
At this time, Vidic on the other side of the center line also moved.
He chased the ball closely, and with his abundant physical strength and tall body, he formed an absolute pressure on Wang Xiaodong on the other side of the ball.
Step aside!
Stupid mortal!
You can't grab this ball!
However, at this moment, Wang Xiaodong could only see the ball rolling towards him, and Vidic's fierce expression was not taken seriously by him at all.
By facing the ball forward, Wang Xiaodong touched the ball one step ahead of his opponent.
ha!
I encountered it first!
Wang Xiaodong was so excited that he quickly moved the ball to the right with the outside of his foot.
But not even halfway, an out-of-control heavy truck hit Wang Xiaodong head-on.
The Serbian didn't slow down at all, and just collided with Wang Xiaodong's body.
boom!
There was an ear-tickling roar from the center of Cardiff Stadium.
Hearing the crunching sound of bones hitting each other, Fernandez subconsciously covered his ribs.
"ah!!!"
Wang Xiaodong didn't even check and was knocked back by his opponent.
After knocking Wang Xiaodong away, Vidic hooked the ball with his left foot, and then chose a cross pass without hesitation.
Park Ji-sung got the ball on the wing and walked away. Wang Xiaodong clutched his ribs and turned around to follow without even looking back.
"His nana's!"
"That guy is playing dirty tricks on me!"
Wang Xiaodong rubbed it while running, and it took a while before he was completely relieved.
At the moment of the collision, Vidic secretly pushed Wang Xiaodong's ribs with his left hand that was blocked by his body. The opponent's thick thumb pressed directly into Wang Xiaodong's abdominal muscles, and the pressure on Wang Xiaodong was broken.
"You're playing dirty with me, right?"
"Just wait for me, I will make you look good later!"
A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years; a villain's revenge is from morning till night.
After suffering such a big loss at the hands of the opponent, Wang Xiaodong naturally wanted to take revenge immediately.
But there are no special aiming spells in hand, and even the advanced ones only have less than ten left.
There are still more than twenty minutes left in the game. These aiming spells can be used for both passing and shooting. Putting them on the opponent's head is simply a waste.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaodong's mind was temporarily settled.
Since magic doesn't work, I'll try physics with you.
Don't call me mom then!
In the constant fight, Wang Xiaodong's opportunity came quickly.
In the 76th minute, the newly replaced defender Danny squeezed Lu Xiaopang away during the melee in Southampton's penalty area and kicked the ball away.
Seeing Danny's clearance, Keegan's eyes flashed and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The ball flew very far, even halfway across the field.
Kendi Jones rushed towards the ball immediately, even though he was firmly stuck behind Ferdinand.
For weak teams, every opportunity cannot be missed.
Only by fighting with all your strength can you get a fighting chance.
Ferdinand also didn’t expect Kendi Jones to be so persistent.
It was obvious that he was still far away from the ball, and that he had already run in front of the opponent, but he was still chasing the ball like crazy.
In desperation, Ferdinand glanced at Sylvester, who was pulling over to take over, and chose to pass back.
Similarly, Dyer on the wing also speeded up and rushed towards his opponent.
I can let you control the ball, but I will never let you control it well!
The Saints knew that this game relied entirely on Wang Xiaodong's continuous interceptions in the midfield and backfield, so that they had extra energy and energy to focus on other places.
Now, it's my time to give back!
Dale's heart skipped a beat and he accelerated towards Sylvester again.
After receiving the ball, the Manchester United full-back wanted to push a through ball towards his teammate in the center.
After noticing that Dyer suddenly increased his speed, he quickly changed direction.
"Here, here!"
Richardson opened up and yelled at Sylvester. When the latter saw his teammates asking for the ball from the sideline, he hurriedly kicked the ball.
The ball was passed with great speed, and Richardson frowned. He didn't expect his teammate to send such a low-quality pass.
In the peripheral vision, Kendi Jones gave up on Ferdinand and was rushing towards the ball with all his strength.
Richardson also opened his legs. He couldn't stand still and watch the ball being intercepted by his opponent.
As soon as he rushed to the ball, Richardson, who was full of energy, turned and pulled in a textbook way, protecting the ball while leaving Kendi Jones behind.
And when he turned around, the smile on his lips suddenly disappeared.
"When did he get there!"
"How come I never noticed?"
It was only then that the exclamations from the surrounding teammates came from all directions.
"careful!"
"DONG ran over!"
"Quick pass!"
However it was too late.
Wang Xiaodong, who has his sights set on the target, has already been fully prepared. Even if you discover it early, he will destroy the ball.
After thinking about it, Wang Xiaodong fell to the ground and slid to the ground without hesitation, his spikes heading towards the ball.
Faced with such a vicious tackle, Richardson subconsciously stepped aside.
He didn't want to be tackled by his opponent as soon as he came on the field!
The ball hit Wang Xiaodong's toe and bounced in the opposite direction. Wang Xiaodong, who got up hastily, immediately left Richardson behind and chased the ball.
Again, as long as the ball doesn't go out of bounds, you won't give up easily!
Seeing that the beating ball was about to roll out of the sideline, Wang Xiaodong did not hesitate and made another sliding tackle.
This time, Wang Xiaodong slid more than three meters on the wet turf, and finally hooked the ball with the toe of his right foot.
"Stop it!!!"
Wang Xiaodong roared loudly, like a thunder strike on this rainy day.
Sure enough, the ball that was restless just now was affected by Wang Xiaodong's words and really stood on the sideline.
The linesman running by was almost bulging his eyes out, but the ball stayed where it was, as if it was stuck to glue.
"Did the ball go out of bounds?"
The referee looked towards the linesman.
"Not out of bounds."
The linesman shook his head and said nothing.
"Step aside!"
A roar came from behind, the linesman twisted his waist, and a man covered in mud and water jumped out from behind.
It was Wang Xiaodong who had just slipped out of bounds.
"DONG,DONG,DONG,DONG!!!"
The fans in the stands were shouting crazy.
Wang Xiaodong's hard work in the rain has been deeply engraved in their hearts. Even if they lose this game, Wang Xiaodong will still be the hero in the hearts of the Saints.
"winter!!!"
The female fans covered their mouths, tears welling up in the corners of their eyes.
What a dedicated player. Looking at the entire English stadium, it would be difficult to find a player who works as hard as Dong, right?
Wang Xiaodong got up quickly and rushed back to the court as fast as possible, but the time just wasted was too much, which was enough for other players to run over and steal the ball.
The first thing Wang Xiaodong did when he returned to the court was to turn his back, open his arms like a female bird protecting a dangerous egg, and use his back to face the sprinting Vidic.
The running Serbian man licked the corners of his mouth, his eyes shining.
Hahaha!
You kid really doesn't have a long memory!
Don't blame me if it crashes!
The thought flashed across his mind, and Vidic had already rushed behind Wang Xiaodong.
Seeing that Wang Xiaodong was about to hit his back, many fans even covered their eyes, unable to bear to watch.
"Remove the imitation!"
At the critical moment, Wang Xiaodong turned his body slightly and aimed at the person with his left shoulder.
With a bang, Vidic even heard the sound of his sternum breaking.
"Ah!!! My mother!"
The big Serbian man fell to the ground in pain. Wang Xiaodong's shoulder was like a protruding steel bar, which made Vidic's breathing quicken.
"No foul!"
"Reasonable collision!"
"It's good to attack!"
The referee changed three gestures in succession, but the whistle in his mouth was not blown for a long time.
When the Manchester United players saw this, what should they do?
Chase it with all your might!
Richardson, who was closest to the ball, rushed towards Wang Xiaodong immediately, blocking his inward route and forcing him to stop.
Wang Xiaodong, who has been roaming in the midfield, appeared on the right wing for the first time. He ran along the sideline for a few steps and then stopped in place. Dyer in front quickly turned around and pulled him to the middle to meet.
Richardson had already seen Dyer with his peripheral vision. Behind Dyer, there was Ferdinand closely following him.
It depends on you!
Seeing Wang Xiaodong swinging his left foot, Richardson's eyes lit up and he extended his foot towards Wang Xiaodong's passing route.
But he didn't expect that this kick would directly ruin his national team career.
The Eagle's left wing hit the ball as expected, but the ball did not roll toward Dyer as Richardson thought.
Instead, it continued down the sideline and toward the baseline.
"What???"
Seeing this moment, even Ferguson jumped up from his chair.
How come he still has physical strength?
How does he still have power?
How could he still open his legs?
Seeing Wang Xiaodong, who was accelerating on the spot, staggering towards the baseline breakthrough, but at this time, neither Ferdinand on the inside nor Richardson, who had just carelessly stretched his foot, had the ability to catch up.
Wang Xiaodong, who had been running for nearly 80 minutes, resisted Vidic's collision after consecutive sliding tackles.
Immediately afterwards, he barely had time to breathe before running wildly with the ball.
It was okay to just run to the end, but after just a few steps he was forced to stop by Richardson.
The continuous intense movements and sudden stops made Wang Xiaodong's legs start to swing, but at this moment, he still chose an extremely rough feint to deceive his opponent and break towards the baseline.
This has completely exceeded the limit of what his body can bear. It can be seen from his legs that he can barely move forward that Wang Xiaodong can hold on until now, hanging himself completely with one breath.
Opportunities are reserved for those who prepare.
Wang Xiaodong tried his best and finally got a chance to hit the bottom.
Wang Xiaodong, who rushed to the bottom line, caught up with the ball that was kicked away by him. At this moment, he widened his eyes and used all his strength to scoop the ball out in front of him.
Teammates, I don’t have time to observe your movements! Just stick an aiming charm in front of the goal and let the ball go wherever it hits!
After taking off his foot, Wang Xiaodong, who was exhausted, could no longer support his body and fell to the ground following the inertia of his swinging legs.
The camera immediately gave up on Wang Xiaodong who fell to the ground.
Countless cameras focused on the ball flying through the air, watching it fly towards the center of the penalty area with an afterimage.
Before Giggs and Kendi Jones, who were at the front, could leap up, the ball flew over their heads; with their vision blocked, the ball quickly hit the ground and hit the gap between Park Ji-sung and Sylvester. In the gap; when he bounced up again, he quickly passed in front of the goal; Kendi Jones, who got in front of Ferdinand, stretched out his right foot at the last moment and blocked the ball into the far corner of the goal in front of Van der Sar. .
"The ball went in!!!"
"3 to 3!!!"
"Southampton, equalizer!!!"
The moment the ball hit the net, a thunder exploded over the Millennium Stadium.
It seems to be a gospel sent by God, guiding the saints to move forward!
