Chapter 203: One to One


beep As referee Martin Atkinson blew the whistle, Carvajal committed a tackle when facing Nani's one-on-one defense on the right, and the entire Wembley Stadium exploded again.

"After the start of the second half, Southampton played obviously more aggressively.

In some opportunities that were contestable but not contestable, they were obviously more proactive and more desperate."

After seeing the referee blowing the whistle, the TV commentator commented and analyzed the trend of the second half.

Martin Atkinson called Carvajal over.

"This is going to be a card game."

There was an uproar in the stands, with some cheering and some booing.

Obviously, the fans of Manchester United felt that this card was given well, but the fans of Southampton felt that this action was not worth taking out the card.

"The referee was a warning to the Southampton players.

Carvajal's performance was still very good.

He defended Nani very well.

The Portuguese winger almost never made a breakthrough from his side."

Sure enough, Atkinson raised a yellow card high towards Carvajal.

"In the 53rd minute of the second half, Southampton was one goal behind and received its fourth yellow card of the game and the third yellow card in the Saints team.

The other one was given to Manchester United's Carrick. ” "Carvajal needs to be careful now.

Manchester United is obviously targeting the left wing.

He has another yellow card, so he has to stop his movements."

The words of the TV commentator only appeared on the live TV broadcast, but at the scene, everyone could only hear the shouts from the fans.

In the royal box, Abramovich burst into laughter as soon as he saw Atkinson taking out the cards.

"It's a pity.

It's just a yellow card.

According to me, it should be a red card."

If the two teams continue to play like this in the second half, Southampton will have no hope at all.

At best, we can only say that Southampton fought harder and grabbed harder.

But the question is, this can only be a war of attrition.

What effect can it achieve?

Yang Huan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

He didn't want to see Abramovich's triumphant attitude after winning.

At this time, Spanish midfielder Isco, who was sitting on Southampton's bench, came out and ran quickly to warm up, which attracted the attention of Yang Huan in the stands.

Is this coming on as a substitute or is it just a normal warm-up?

Generally, players on the bench will take the initiative to warm up every once in a while to ensure that their bodies can adapt to the rhythm on the court as soon as possible.

"It's about time," Wilkinson said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

Prince William turned his head and asked.

As the game progressed, the attention of everyone in the royal box was attracted.

The most important thing is because of the huge gamble between Yang Huan and Abramovich.

An eight-figure pound bet, this is no joke.

"The combination of Scholes and Carrick cannot afford to play a war of attrition, and their area coverage is not enough.

Bielsa further strengthened the pressing and pressure in the second half to engage in a war of attrition, just to make substitutions."

This explanation is not unreasonable.

After all, even if substitutions are made now, there are still more than thirty minutes left in the game, and there is still a lot of time left for Southampton.

With just one goal, the game entered overtime.

Southampton's players were younger and had certain advantages in physical fitness.

"Who do you think will be replaced?"

Prince William asked.

Although "Vidal" Wilkinson is guessing, he is very confident.

Replace Vidal with Isco, let Isco and Adam Lallana, two players with delicate skills, partner up, plus Stroman behind him, resolutely continue to strengthen the offensive and passing ability to threaten the ball.

To some extent, Isco's introduction can relieve the pressure on Adam Lallana.

Yang Huan shook his head, "I don't think so."

It was Wilkinson who asked "why" instead.

Yang Huan smiled and said: "I don't know, it's just a feeling."

At this moment, Isco, who was warming up on the sidelines, immediately returned to coach Bielsa after running a lap.

Bielsa, who was squatting on the ground, stood up, pointed at the court, and told Isco something.

Soon, the fourth official on the sidelines raised his number plate.

Isco replaces captain Adam Lallana "Substitute for Adam Lallana" Wilkinson was obviously confused by this substitution.

Adam Lallana is very threatening when taking and delivering the ball at the front of the penalty area.

Why was he replaced?

And his performance in this game was not bad, at least a little better than Vidal.

However, as soon as the Saints captain saw the number plate, he immediately walked towards Ibrahimovic.

After handing him the captain's armband, he said something again, asking him to lead his teammates to cheer, and then ran to the sidelines to talk to Ibrahimovic.

After hugging Coe, he left the court.

After Isco came on the field, he did not move forward and appear in Adam Lallana's midfielder position.

Instead, he walked towards the midfield, came to Vidal, and said something to the Chilean midfielder.

In the end, it was Vidal who moved forward and appeared further forward in the midfield, almost in the attacking midfielder position.

Let Isco, who has better technique, dribbling and passing ability, stay behind, but push Vidal forward.

"I can't understand, I really can't understand."

Wilkinson shook his head.

Bielsa's move was risky, especially his trust in Vidal, who performed poorly in this game.

The bet was successful and everyone said it was a coup.

But if he loses the bet, everyone will say that he is using nepotism.

"Is he planning to use Vidal to further consume Scholes and Carrick, just like Rooney harassed Stroman in the first half?"

Wilkinson guessed with a frown.

However, Vidal's usefulness has not been reflected yet, and Isco, who came on as a substitute, won a chance to show his face.

"Southampton counterattacked after stealing the ball, and Stroman passed to Chamberlain."

"Chamberlain pulled into the middle to receive the ball and wanted to break through, but Skols was blocked."

Seeing that he was unable to pass the ball or break through, Chamberlain immediately turned around, turned his back to Scholes, and protected the ball.

Seeing Isco quickly inserting on the right side from behind, Chamberlain immediately passed the ball over.

"Isco, facing Evra, with Nani behind him, took a challenge."

"A good shot is better than Evra's" Between two players, Isco picked up Evra and immediately turned around to block Evra behind him.

"When the breasts stop, they are beautiful, and then they stick out behind Evra."

"It's over, it was wonderful, Isco" As soon as the short Isco saw the ball go past Evra, he immediately turned around and quickly chased after him.

Evra also wanted to turn around, but was a beat too slow.

Isco received the ball before anyone else.

“It’s passed, it’s passed” The whole picture is focused on Isco No one expected that although this young player was positioned at the back, he would suddenly thrust forward and do so resolutely.

More importantly, he faced two players double-teaming him in an extremely narrow range on the wing and managed to complete a breakthrough.

What will he do next?

Countless fans looked at him nervously, and even many fans in the stands were so excited that they couldn't help but stand up.

"Cross" The ball drew an arc and fell into the penalty area.

Vidal quickly rushed up from outside the penalty area and jumped high to meet the ball.

But the tall Vidic suddenly appeared, got ahead of him, and headed the cross out of the penalty area.

The whole Wembley Stadium let out a roar, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

There were also lamentations from Southampton fans.

Who would have thought that this Spanish youngster would create a threat with his first touch of the ball.

"Isco, this player has very fine skills with his feet, but he is a bit sticky to the ball."

Wilkinson feels that Isco is the kind of player who is very eye-catching.

But if the ball just now had been passed earlier, lower and faster, the ball would have basically been there.

"Placing Vidal at the front of the penalty area seems to be to give full play to his ability to score from behind."

Although the threat posed by his first touch failed to score, Isco became more and more active.

More than a minute later, he got another chance to get the ball in the center circle.

Vidal retreated to defend, stole the ball and passed it to Stroman, who touched the ball and gave it to Isco.

Isco stops the ball, turns and starts in one go.

After moving forward for a while, he suddenly hit a through ball with his right foot.

The ball passed between Vidic and Evra.

Right winger Chamberlain started quickly, pushing himself as fast as possible and driving straight behind Evra.

In the middle, Ibrahimovic also rushed forward quickly, preparing to meet Chamberlain.

Evra and Chamberlain were fighting for speed on the wing, but as soon as they started, Chamberlain's speed was beyond Evra's expectation.

After all, the young English player has Jamaican roots.

Once he sprints, his speed is unstoppable.

Evra didn't even have time to commit a foul.

Just watching helplessly, Chamberlain rushed forward quickly, stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and quickly adjusted.

At this time, Ibrahimovic had already rushed into the penalty area.

Chamberlain only had a few tenths of a second to react.

The English teenager raised his head.

In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic was flanked by Vidic and Ferdinand.

Nowadays, it is very difficult to get a chance.

Chamberlain chose to bring it himself The English youngster was brave enough and fierce enough to dribble the ball directly into the penalty area.

Scholes and Evra both retreated, and the two had a tacit understanding of wanting to sandwich Chamberlain one behind the other.

It's about to be passed on It's about to be passed on If you don’t pass it on, it will be gone.

Everyone at the scene had this thought.

Chamberlain also knew it was going to be passed, but the question was, to whom Just when he was at a loss, he caught sight of a red figure from the corner of his left eye, and then a voice said, "Give it to me."

Who is this person?

He didn't know.

The only thing that was certain was that the voice sounded familiar and belonged to me.

So, he passed At the moment when Scholes and Evra were about to complete the double-team, Chamberlain passed the ball from Scholes' side.

After passing the message, he raised his head and looked forward intently.

"Bidal" Vidal, who had just stolen the ball in the backcourt, had already rushed into Manchester United's penalty area.

I saw Vidal rushing up and facing Chamberlain's pass.

Every step he took was very steady and very heavy.

Because every step will be related to the series of actions that follow him.

The left foot stops against the ball coming from the right, and the ball rebounds to the right.

Vidal quickly changed his center of gravity, planted his left foot firmly, and lifted his right foot.

At this time, the ball was just within the volley range of his right foot.

Without any hesitation, he faced the ball and fired a powerful volley with his right foot.

The ball was like a cannonball, passing by Vidic's long and stretched right leg.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar made a flying save, trying to get the ball out.

But the ball went at extremely fast speed, passed between his extended arm and the goal post, penetrated the goal line, and hit the net.

Vidal was stunned Southampton players were also stunned Everyone at the scene was stunned This goal was scored like this Yes, the ball just went in The referee Martin Atkinson's whistle that the goal was valid made the deathly silent Wembley Stadium burst into crazy cheers.

Only then did all the Southampton fans react, shouting at the top of their lungs.

All the Southampton players rushed forward in a swarm, hugging Vidal and surrounding him in the middle.

One to one, Southampton tied the score:
