Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 142

The evil wind caused trouble, and Sunderland played a thrilling first half.

In addition to Pickford's almost "being" an own goal, Sunderland's defense has gone through multiple tests.He almost broke the goal several times, but fortunately Pickford was focused and responsive, and finally kept his own goal and kept a clean sheet.

At the end of the first half, Anton, who was standing on the sidelines directing the game, could clearly feel Sir Alex Ferguson's emotions.

Ferguson has been standing on the sidelines chewing gum, but approaching the halftime break, Ferguson began to pace back and forth, looking very anxious.

After all, Manchester United played with the wind in the first half, and the second half is about to face the same test as Sunderland. If the first half cannot take the lead as soon as possible, the second half will be dangerous.

But Rooney is not there, "Little Pea" Hernandez and Portuguese rookie Nani are slightly immature.Now Manchester United's main attacker on the field is "Brother Chic" Berbatov.Although Beiba is unrestrained and unrestrained, he always has an energy that doesn't care so much about the outcome.

Sir Alex Ferguson folded his arms and paced back and forth, probably thinking of Cantona, the "king" of Manchester United in the past.If Cantona was there, he might have already shot through Sunderland's goal, and then turned up his collar, looking down on the crowd and looking down on the world.

Anton was standing not far from Sir Alex Ferguson, and couldn't help but think of another person - Ronaldo.

Because of the double speed of the time axis of the simulator, in "Life in Greenery", this duel has long been compared.The game in the simulator was extremely real, so Anton and Messi also experienced the evil wind of "October Curse".

Looking at the real game now, Anton has some emotions in his heart. Manchester United's team is very different with Ronaldo and without Ronaldo.Although the current tactics of Manchester United and the "You Luo" period are different, Anton has to admit that Ronaldo's desire to win is actually an indispensable part of the team.

As for the game played in "Life in the Green" - Anton's team, although there is a cheat like Messi, it is not a team with strong overall strength like Barcelona. In the end, it lost 1 goal and lost to Manchester United at home. , and it was his "Challenge Champions League" opponent Ronaldo who scored the key goal.

However, in the real game, the opponent does not have Ronaldo, but Anton still has Messi-can he lead the team and win the game?

By the time the second-half whistle blew, Messi had already got his headband back from Eriksson, tied it around his forehead, and his hair was finally out of the way.

But it was beyond everyone's expectations: the evil wind that had ravaged the stadium before seemed to... Gradually stop.

This game was the same as in the past. The [-] seats in the Stadium of Light were full. Sunderland fans, Manchester United fans, and some people's fans filled the entire stadium.Everyone has experienced the first half of the bewitching wind, and now one by one, the hairstyle is very enchanting.

Seeing that the wind had stopped, the Sunderland fans were in a panic and shouted together: "It's not fair!"

In the first half, Sunderland played so hard, they could hardly breathe against the wind, and it took several times more effort than usual to make an attack; the defensive end was so dangerous - it was hard to try to pick the fruits of victory in the second half Well, the wind actually stopped.

Why can Manchester United be so cheap?

Answer: Manchester United captain Evra is lucky.

After all, choosing a side is a matter of willing to gamble and admit defeat, and how the wind blows is indeed beyond human control.Although it was obvious that Sunderland suffered physically, they couldn't complain, so they could only bite the bullet and continue.

Anton gestured on the sidelines, asking the players to be patient and play well.They did a lot of homework in this game. Although they suffered a bit, as long as they played according to the tactics arranged in advance, they would have a chance.At least the second half was a fair game for both teams.

Sunderland quickly stabilized his position and began to attack.Messi is on the field today, and he drops back to get the ball from time to time, so the pressure on Eriksson is relatively small.

"Lord of Love" stretched out his foot and lightly padded the ball, and the ball reached Messi's feet.

Messi stopped the ball and looked up at Manchester United's defense. The Manchester United players immediately became nervous.These people are just guarding the front of the penalty area, and they may be located on the legendary "Messi Corridor".

"Messi Corridor" is a routine of Messi's offense. Generally speaking, after Messi dribbles the ball into the penalty area from the right side of the front field, he gets rid of the entanglement of many defensive players of the opponent, and then suddenly hits the goal with his left foot after a horizontal cut. The tricky ball is fast and fast, making it difficult for the goalkeeper to guard against.

Although knowing that this is a "routine", Messi's "big move" still makes countless teams hard to guard against.

Since landing in the Premier League, Messi has not staged a complete "corridor" goal.Now that he met a strong enemy, he caught off guard and used this move.

Several defenders of Manchester United rushed up, "sweeping the legs" to serve.After all, Messi's move is too terrifying. Once he breaks through and faces the goalkeeper, it is basically impossible to defend against.

Ferdinand, Smalling, and Nemanja Vidic stood on the classic route of the "Messi Corridor".

The Stadium of Light also seemed to quiet down in an instant. 4 people held their breath together, wanting to witness miracles and classic performances——

"Extraordinary bowling!" Someone shouted in the auditorium.

This metaphor is too vivid.

"Sweeping legs" has no effect on Messi at all, and he can't greet him at all; and his extraordinary movements are completely unclear, only where Messi goes, Manchester United's defenders fall one after another down.

The fans were all excited, and their eyes were all focused on Manchester United's goal.Many fans have already clenched their fists excitedly, ready to cheer at any time——

"My God—"

Many fans hugged their heads with their hands in disappointment.

Messi's shot is precise and tricky, but Manchester United also has the last line of defense-goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

Van der Sar accurately judged the angle of Messi's shot and jumped to save it.He has long hands and long feet, coupled with his abnormal concentration, he almost pushed the incoming ball out of the dead corner of the goal.

- Corner.

After the disappointment, there was a burst of shouts from the stands of the Stadium of Light, with Messi's name mixed with bursts of warm applause.

Wonderful!Bravo!It's a wonderful life, and the shooting and saving are equally wonderful!

The fans have been blown by the northeast wind for so long, but seeing such a wonderful offense and defense, it is not in vain to be blown into anything.

Messi stood in front of Manchester United's goal, his chest rose and fell, looking at the opponent's goal, feeling a little depressed.Originally, he was supposed to score the ball, but just before he shot, he suddenly felt the air around him—there was wind!

The human nature data processor immediately processed the wind direction data, and his left foot exerted a little less force.Who knows that the wind will disappear when the ball is shot.With such a slight difference in strength, Van der Sar seized the opportunity and threw the ball out.

Messi stood where he was and smiled at Van der Sar, feeling a pity in his heart.

Van der Sar waved vigorously at the lovely person in front of him: Are you trying to confuse me by smiling like this?Go to the corner kick soon.

So the "bowling balls" got up from the ground one after another, ready to defend Sunderland's corner kick.

Anton watched from the side. Like the fans in the stands, he clenched his fists. The shout seemed to have reached his throat, and he was about to blurt it out, but he finally swallowed it back.In the end, he chose to applaud gracefully, not only for Messi's wonderful "corridor", but also for Van der Sar's precise save.

It has been two months since Messi came to Sunderland. During these two months, Anton has had a very thorough understanding of Messi's temper.

Leaving aside the amazing skills on the court, Messi is definitely a good-tempered "child". He usually has no airs, and his personality is even a bit soft. Smiling at you.

On the court, Messi is not the kind of "tough guy" player. He is not like the opponent's former "King" Cantona, who will turn up his collar to show the "Great Emperor" style after scoring a goal; Like Ronaldo, there is a will to win all over his body.If everyone wants to use "eye kill", Messi must be the first to laugh.

So some people say that Messi's character is too calm and calm, lacks the style of a "general" and cannot become the real core and pillar of the team.

Anton understands Messi better than others: If the team is in adversity, this guy will silently plan in his heart.Messi is more inclined to rely on his own skills to break the deadlock and win the team for the team, so it seems that he has less "dominant" spirit.

But the talent he has is a gift from God.

Anton stretched out his hand again and gestured to Messi, indicating that his attack just now was great, and at the same time appeased Messi's little disappointment and encouraged him to continue to do so.

Sunderland took a corner kick. This time Manchester United's defense was very tight. Van der Sar quickly got the ball and drove it out quickly.

The battle line moved quickly towards Sunderland's goal, and Manchester United's counterattack was also very threatening.

So you come and go, the second half of this league finally turned into a "normal" and exciting game.

But the weather was unpredictable. In the 72nd minute of the game, the captain Garner slipped, and then sat down on the turf, unable to stand up again.The Manchester United player next to him kicked the ball over the touchline and ran away with his arms spread, saying there was no physical contact with Garner.

The team doctor immediately rushed up, asked about Garner's situation, and then made a gesture to Anton for a substitution.Looking at the situation just now, Anton guessed that Garner had strained a muscle and needed to rest immediately.He immediately communicated to the fourth official that he was going to change, and at the same time, he heard Russell behind him complaining in a very depressed way: "Why do you have to be forced to change again?"

Yeah, it hurts so much when it happens.

Turning his face away, Anton saw that Garner was limping off the field with the support of the team doctor.At this time, he took off the captain's armband he was wearing, stretched out his hand and called Henderson over, and put the armband on the vice-captain himself.

"The field is left to you." Garner could vaguely hear him urging.

The author has something to say: ①Cantona, the third King mentioned in this article, was the former king of the Red Devils Manchester United.

His signature action is to turn up his collar after scoring a goal, looking down on all sentient beings.His famous quote is: Manchester United only allows one king, and that is me.

It was too late for the rest of his life. When he started watching football, Cantona had already...entered the showbiz and started acting in movies.
