Chapter 767

Glasgow Rangers kicked the ball to the front court, but there was no one in the front court. The ball was taken by the Manchester United defender and hit the midfield again.

Fletcher used to be a defensive midfield, but the opponent had only one striker in his own half, and his defensive midfield was useless. He didn't pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong and pushed the ball directly to the 30 meter area of Glasgow Rangers.

There is no obstacle ahead. Today, Rangers have a sincere attitude, that is, they want to defend one point. You can take the ball outside the 30 meter area. After entering the 30 meter area, two people immediately rush to Fletcher's bag.

Fletcher is not a good player to break through. The two opponents are very close. He quickly points the ball to park Zhixing, who has a good relationship with him.

Park Zhixing took the ball from the side and quickly broke through to the bottom line. Glasgow Rangers stayed in the back court and didn't give Park Zhixing space. Park Zhixing's flexibility and quickness couldn't be brought into play. He was pushed out of the sideline by defender papach and easily broke the ball.

Glasgow Rangers' attack is very simple. After papac breaks the ball, he directly makes a long pass to find forward Miller.

United, even if replaced by Smalling and Vidic partner, is not a miller can easily get the header, Smalling fierce grab, the ball was headed back to Rangers half.

This time, the ball fell to Valencia's feet. Valencia had the advantage of speed. He quickly crossed the interception of the avant-garde, and then the man-made ball passed brodford and passed the ball to the penalty area from the bottom line.

Valencia passed a high ball, but the bodies of Rooney and Hernandez were shorter than Rangers' guards. The head ball was also very ordinary. They couldn't touch the ball at all and were headed out by the guards.

Gao Xiaodong knew there was no way when he passed the ball in Valencia. He was waiting for the second place.

But I didn't expect Rangers guard to have too much power. When Gao Xiaodong went to grab the second spot, he found that Fletcher arrived ahead of him.

Gao Xiaodong, of course, won't compete with Fletcher. He pulls aside to receive Fletcher's pass.

Gao Xiaodong has a general relationship with Fletcher. When he was at Porto, Fletcher was ready to shovel him and was stopped by Scholes. But now he is an offensive player and Fletcher is a defensive player. Facing the intensive defense of his opponent, Gao Xiaodong thought Fletcher would give him the ball.

But Gao Xiaodong was wrong. After Fletcher received the ball, he took advantage of the opponent's defense of Valencia's Cross and didn't press the ball out. He quickly entered the 30 meter area and fired at the goal.

Not to mention, Fletcher's shot was of great quality, and the ball went straight to the upper left corner. Goalkeeper McGregor struggled to get the ball out.

United got the chance of corner kick, Gao Xiaodong took the penalty personally, Vidic and Smalling all went in to grab the point.

When the corner kicks out, Rangers guard Weill heads the ball out. Park Zhixing catches the ball and passes it into the penalty area again. The ball is headed out again. Fletcher catches up and shoots a long-range shot, but the ball hits Rooney and pops up the bottom line.

After the opening, Manchester United's offensive wave after wave, Rangers stuck to the 30 meter area, piled up high points in the restricted area, allowing Manchester United to attack.

It has to be said that Smith has worked with Ferguson for so many years. He really knows much about Ferguson. He doesn't think that Rangers can beat Manchester United when Manchester United are on the bench. He insists on using the intensive defensive tactics formulated before the game instead of changing the playing method temporarily.

Smith's playing method for Rangers is very targeted. No matter the forward of Manchester United or Gao Xiaodong and Fletcher, they have no height. Facing a group of Rangers' long men, they have no advantage in fighting for the high ball, but they can't pass the ground ball. Penetration is not Manchester United's strong point. They can only wait for the opportunity to play long-range shots.

After 20 minutes, Rangers finally got their first shot.

Rangers midfield Davies had a long pass in the back. Rangers forward saw goalkeeper kuzzak stand in front of the ball, head straight back and shoot the goal. Kuzzak stepped back quickly and hit the bar with one hand.

The set piece is almost the only chance for Rangers to score goals. Their excellent heading players all came to the forbidden area to fight for the top. Davis opened a corner. The 40 year old captain Weill grabbed the spot from the crowd. A lion shook his head and directed the ball to the upper right corner. However, United's substitute goalkeeper kuzzak showed his stability and held the ball in his hands.

This is a rare chance to fight back. Gao Xiaodong quickly raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Kutzzak threw the ball to Gao Xiaodong, who made a direct long pass to counter attack. United's front court formed an opportunity for Hernandez and Rooney to play full back papac.

Hernandez knocked the ball to Wayne Rooney, who went to the right side of the penalty area to cross Hernandez, but the intention of the ball was too obvious, and was intercepted by papac.

The best chance of 2-1 was lost because of Rooney's mistake, and more than 70000 Manchester United fans at the scene all lamented.

"It's so special that you can make mistakes two times and one time. Can you have a better chance?"

"Rooney shouldn't be on the court, he should be in bed."

"Why didn't Berbatov go? I don't believe he can pass a ball like this

"Front two dregs, high belt does not move."

"Rooney has no pressure to pick two in bed, but two dozen and one on the court are useless. Let's go down."……

The commentator Martin also said: "Rooney, Rooney, with the style of a tramp, there are not many opportunities in the back."

It's useless for Manchester United to cross from the side and penetrate from the middle, so they have to rely on long-range shooting to find the chance to break the goal.

In the 25th minute of the game, before Park Zhixing crossed the penalty area, Fletcher fired furiously against the ball and deflected close to the post.

In the 27th minute, Hernandez took the ball back to the top of the arc in the restricted area, and Gao Xiaodong swung his right foot to hit the goalkeeper McGregor in the middle, making him lie in the restricted area for two minutes and unable to get up.

In the 32nd minute, Valencia's right cross was blocked in front of the penalty area, and Fletcher volleyed the ball and hit the plane again.

The 37th minute, Gao Xiaodong with the ball to kill in the restricted area, the ball was broken, Gao Xiaodong counter grab success, turned and a long shot, the ball flew to the stands.

At this moment, all the people who want to see something wrong.

"Is this Fletcher and Gao Xiaodong's long-range shooting competition in turn?"

"Although it takes a long shot to break through the intensive defense, it can't be without cooperation at all."

"Is Fletcher shooting a little too much. Can his archery compare with Xiao Dong? "

"If you go on like this, it's up to you to break."

"Fletcher should not be on, the opponent did not attack, why not Scholes

……

At this time, even assistant coach Phelan felt wrong and said to Ferguson: "today Fletcher scored too many goals."

Ferguson gave a meaningful smile: "maybe Fletcher is too eager to score."

In the 40th minute of the game, Rangers' long pass attacked. Vidic bowed his head under Miller's pressure and wanted to give the ball to the goalkeeper. However, kuzzak thought Vidic could get it. Vidic and kuzzak failed to cooperate and the ball nearly flew into his goal. Fortunately, kuzzak returned quickly and pressed the ball on the goal line.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Wayne Rooney was shoveled by Weill when he was catching the ball at the front of the penalty area. His ankle twisted and he fell to the ground in pain.

Manchester United fans are surprised, although Rooney is not in good condition, but his strength is second only to Gao Xiaodong, Manchester United want to win without him.

Sir Alex has to get the team doctors in and treat Rooney.

After all, Rooney is very strong. Although he tilted his ankle, after the team doctor closed it, he signaled that there was nothing wrong and turned back into the game.

Then Gao Xiaodong took the free kick.

Rangers know that Gao Xiaodong's free kick is powerful, and they have seven men to defend.

Gao Xiaodong saw the height of the Ranger's wall and knew that it was no use trying to get around, so he played with Rooney. When he passed the ball, Rooney raised his foot and shot, but the ball was thrown down by the Ranger's goalkeeper.

Rangers goalkeeper Gregor saw that the first half was over and he fell to the ground. Being recognized by the referee was a waste of time and showed a yellow card.

Grigor then kicked the goal and the referee whistled at the end of the first half.

In the first half, Manchester United scored 15 goals while Rangers scored only one, but the two sides drew 0-0 in 45 minutes.
