Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 176

Before the start of the game, the players of the two teams enter the field together with the referee of the game.

The referee is a tall, bald man who occasionally winks at the camera and is charming.This is the biggest referee in England. He is Howard Webb who took the penalty in the 2010 World Cup final.

But when Andy Gray, the commentator of Sky Sports, saw the players and the referee enter the field, he yelled: "Why is she again?!"

He pronounced the word "she" very clearly, for fear that others might not hear clearly.The partner next to him quickly patted him: "It's not that I haven't commented on her law enforcement game, why are you so excited?"

Andy Gray pointed to his nose: "I'm excited? You think I'd be excited to see this woman?"

Richard Keith said helplessly: "You are not excited, you are not excited at all, okay?"

The center of the topic of the two "famous mouths" was of course referee Webber's assistant, the only female line referee in the Premier League, Ms. Sean Macy.

Marcie had blond hair pulled back in a long ponytail.She is fair-skinned and handsome, and she is a beautiful landscape in the Premier League, where men are overwhelmingly dominant, and she is also an outlier.Many fans applauded and cheered for her with good intentions, and some fans secretly questioned why she came even if they didn't say anything.

Wouldn't it be good to do what those women should do?

Even if it is to enforce the women's football?

At that moment Weber blew the opening whistle and the game started.In the live broadcast room, Andy Gray was in high spirits and introduced the main players of the two teams to the audience: "Sunderland needless to say, Messi is their most important point of attack-oh my dear God, let Messi go What about Sunderland..."

Speaking of this, the famous mouth still pretended to rub his eyes, as if he had shed two tears.

"Here at Manchester United, Berbatov, who had just staged the 'five sons' enrolment' not long ago, is really in a hot state. In addition, Rooney has recovered from the sluggish state that just returned from injury..." Richard Keys Answering the question, I thought that the commentary for this game was mainly up to me.

Richard Keys hadn't finished speaking, and the monstrous sound of the Old Trafford stadium had already sounded-the picture was very clear, Messi went to the meeting alone, facing Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar alone.

"Messi!" Andy Gray had already stood up, waving his arms, "The man in the sixth second!"

He was referring to the lightning goal that Messi scored in the sixth second against Arsenal last time.

Obviously, Messi is the same today as that game. He entered the state super fast and has a strong desire to win.

In the Old Trafford stadium, some fans just came in with coffee and hot tea. They were stunned to see this scene, and the coffee was almost spilled.

——Is this another lightning goal?

However, Messi stretched out his foot and "passed" the ball back to Van der Sar. Then he slowed down, ran back with a smile, and high-fived Henderson who had passed the ball to him just now, expressing his gratitude.

Marcie, the beautiful lineman on the sidelines, raised the flag.She signaled to Messi that the ball was offside earlier.

Messi himself felt a little bit, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this penalty.But the cooperation between him and Henderson just now was very beautiful, steady and fast, the opponent was caught off guard, and Messi himself was a little proud.

If there is no offside, a goal must be scored.

Manchester United fans breathed a sigh of relief.

The Sunderland fans who came from afar were singing and dancing in the stands: Even if it is the last game, at this moment, they still have Messi,

In the live broadcast room, Andy Gray couldn't help muttering. After being beaten up by his partner, he quickly reached out and turned off the microphone.

"We saw Barcelona's coach Pep Guardiola in the stands earlier. I don't know if it is because of this reason that Messi is in such a good state today." Richard Keith commented, seeing that his partner has calmed down, and then went Tap Andy Gray on the shoulder and remind him to turn on the microphone.

The game continues.

"Sunderland played the same way they played Arsenal today - it seems that Manchester United did not get the treatment they gave Chelsea." Richard Keith continued to explain.

Sunderland's tactics in the game against Chelsea are the most commendable. Anton's team used a formation that the world has hardly seen. Through the crazy running and impact of the players, it completely overwhelmed Chelsea's defense. All three points.

But today's Sunderland has a rigorous formation at Old Trafford, and the defensive end and the midfielder are tightly integrated. Except for Messi on the forward line who is more "free and swaying", the others are more like a bite. In a compact machine, each individual is just a screw on the machine.

In contrast to Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson should have made a lot of preparations in advance, and studied all possible tactics of Sunderland including "running around".

Except for Messi's raid at the beginning of the game, which caught Manchester United off guard, Ferguson's team steadily controlled the situation on the field at other times.

"Manchester United is still stable!" Richard Keith shook his head and sighed, "Now that the season is nearly halfway, if there is any team that has a champion, I still have to say Manchester United... Wait, I take that back... ..."

As he was speaking, he saw Messi like a sharp knife on the camera, single-handedly inserted into the depths of Manchester United's defense.Messi didn't hold the ball, otherwise he might have been stopped by the Manchester United defender.

But at this time Eriksson's through ball has also reached Messi's feet.

"Messi—" Andy Gray jumped up.He saw Messi raised his foot to shoot, Manchester United defender Ferdinand raised his foot to block, and the ball bounced off Ferdinand's foot.

Poor Van der Sar, he had already rushed in the right direction.But because Ferdinand stretched his foot, the ball turned completely in the other direction.

"A goal—"

There was a sigh in the "Dream Theater".

Messi has already rushed out of the crowd in front of the door, and stretched out his right index finger to his teammates - "1!"

Today he scored another goal for Sunderland!

Unexpectedly, this "1" turned into a duck egg in an instant.

It was not until the broadcast at Old Trafford that the entire Sunderland team learned that the ball just now was not counted on Messi's head, but was counted as an own goal.

Messi immediately made a bitter face: Obviously the baby scored the goal...

The teammates stepped forward together and stretched out their hands at the same time, rubbing Messi's hair for a while.

Instead, Messi began to worry about his hairstyle, and the goal turned into an own goal or something, and he temporarily left it behind.

Manchester United defender Ferdinand is also in a bad mood: in front of tens of thousands of fans at home, he failed to make a clearance and instead became an own goal.Ferdinand stood in front of the goal with his hands on his hips, staring at the opponent's goal in the distance, as if thinking about how to make up for it.

"Amazing, my little black cat!" In the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, the two celebrities were speechless.Especially Richard Keith, his face is hot. He just said that Manchester United is a champion, and Sunderland scored first here. Does he have the attribute of "poison|milk" today?

"Let's see how Sir Alex Ferguson's United will fight back from one goal behind."

Sir Alex Ferguson on the sidelines was directing the game with his arms folded, chewing gum in his mouth.He didn't look panicked at all.Ferguson has coached for so many years, and he has experienced too many games where he fell behind and then reversed, so this is not a big deal.

Sure enough, 15 minutes later, Manchester United equalized the score with a corner kick: the goal was scored by defender Ferdinand.He kept hiding behind captain Evra, who drew most of the attention of the Sunderland defenders.After the corner kick was taken, Ferdinand jumped high, the lion shook his head, and immediately scored a goal for the home team to equalize.

So far, all the goals in this game have been counted on Ferdinand's head, and he scored.

There was joy in the Dream Theater.The fans applauded and celebrated, and hoped that the home team would score another goal and win the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain".

The game entered a tug of war, and the score of 1 to 1 was maintained until the intermission.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and both teams maintained their starting lineups.

But Sunderland's defensive pressure has increased significantly."Brother Chic" Berbatov, who fell asleep and woke up in the first half, began to exert his strength at this time, and several attacks made Sunderland stretched to the left and right, tired of coping.Had it not been for Pickford's concentration, Sunderland's goal would have fallen immediately.

"Why do I feel that Sunderland is a bit uneasy today? Ferguson Ferguson is still very good. He kept his kicks in the first half, and the whole team came out in the second half." Richard Keith commented.

Manchester United's tactics were indeed as Keith said, they hadn't exerted their strength in the first half, and they tried to stabilize, let Sunderland consume their energy first; wait until the second half to launch a general attack.

This tactic is very clever, and for a while, two celebrities published the "Sunderland Pill Theory" again.

Unexpectedly, Messi suddenly exerted strength at this time.

When no one else was paying attention to him, Messi ran back to his own half to help defend.

It is common for forwards to return to defense, but Messi is different. His stride frequency is special, and it is easy to snatch the ball from the opponent when intercepting-this time is the same. Dial, the ball is already at his feet.

"Quick, quick, quick—"

The two celebrities in the live broadcast room yelled at the same time.

On the field, Messi is faster than a galloping horse, dribbling the ball quickly through a large open area.

There are only two people in Manchester United's backcourt: goalkeeper Van der Sar and Ferdinand.

Ferdinand has rich experience, while stepping forward to intercept, while cooperating with the goalkeeper behind him to seal the angle.Messi rushed forward, feeling that there was not a good shooting angle. He was not greedy for merit, he just stopped the ball for a while, and gave the ball to Royce who came from the wing.

Without hesitation, Royce kicked towards the goal: he chose the far corner, the ball slipped in front of Van der Sar, crossed the goal, hit the post, and bounced out with a "bang".

Didn't go in!

The hearts of the fans are about to fall.

Unexpectedly, Messi had already been waiting comfortably behind the goal post.

Royce's kick seemed to be passing the ball to Messi, even taking into account the refraction of the goal post.

With a sound of "cha", the ball fell into the net.

Almost did not give Van der Sar a chance to react.

Messi didn't run this time, but stood still and raised his hands-he finally scored the goal.

This goal, from retreating back to defend against steals to get a chance, to Messi splitting the side, and then to Royce's assist, everything was unexpected and did not play according to common sense.

But for Messi, everything is reasonable and perfect.

This is Messi's highlight moment.

There was a moment of silence at Old Trafford, and as the fans of the away team burst into wild cheers, applause also broke out in the stands of the home team.
