Manchester City couldn't make it, but Manchester United used a counter attack to break the goal.
Now that the score is 3-1 and Manchester United are two goals ahead, it's a bad situation for city because as time goes on, city's number advantage is getting smaller and smaller.
So after Valencia's goal, Mancini put all his eggs in one basket to replace the back midfield Derong and sent forward Dzeko, who had the flu, to attack Manchester United more fiercely.
Because of the time constraint, Manchester City didn't have time to work hard. After several times of cooperation, they couldn't get through Manchester United's defense, so they immediately made a long pass.
Dzeko, Balotelli and yayature all have height advantage, while Manchester City's midfielders Carrick, park Zhixing and Gao Xiaodong all have no height advantage and can't intercept Manchester City's high-altitude ball. The two centre backs Vidic and Ferdinand can't all head up to grab the landing point. Manchester City's long pass landing point is almost snatched by Dzeko and Balotelli.
With Dzeko's header ferry, Manchester City's attack has a fulcrum, and the impact on Manchester United's penalty area is simpler and more frequent.
Manchester United's defense is certainly not bad, but they play less than one person, the front court can not control the ball, the back line is constantly hit by opponents, no matter how good the defense will be.
After Dzeko came on the court, Manchester City got many chances to shoot, while Manchester United's forbidden area was full of danger, and everyone could not completely limit Manchester City's rushing and hanging when they returned to their own 30 meter area.
Ferguson will look at the bench and the stadium, full of anxiety. Although it's 80 minutes now and United are two goals ahead, as long as Manchester City score one more goal, the final result will be up to fate. Judging from the current situation, it's too difficult for Manchester United to hold on. For two strong teams, one less person is almost equivalent to a grade reduction.
At present, Manchester City's attack has no subtlety, because Manchester United are forced to shrink their defense, Manchester City's penetration and breakthrough can not come out, and they do not have the patience and ability to play. They just pass a few passes to the front of the penalty area, let Dzeko, Balotelli and Yaya Toure fight for the top and then attack.
This kind of offensive tactics is very extensive, and it is almost eliminated by the Premier League giants. However, it is very effective when the personnel characteristics are suitable. Manchester United can't defend well.
Manchester United is not without "experts", such as amarin, but amarin is the center back, not the back waist, his passing ability is very poor, and very impetuous, at this time, if there is a problem, it will be troublesome.
Manchester United situation crisis, Ferguson did not make adjustments, Gao Xiaodong worried, he said to Ferdinand: "Rio big brother, or we change the position, you top up, I fill your position, the opponent's long pass is too disgusting."
Ferdinand knows that Gao Xiaodong is very comprehensive and can also play at centre back, but Gao Xiaodong is still short after all. He is more likely to be bullied with a header when he exchanges positions with himself.
When Ferdinand hesitated, Ferguson made a shocking change. 18-year-old bogba came on and replaced winger Nani.
It's an amazing replacement. It's an FA Cup semi-final. It's against city rivals Manchester City. The key is that Manchester United haven't won yet. The scene is in danger. At this time, it's an 18-year-old boy, even if he's authentic in the back, even if he's taller than almost everyone else in Manchester United.
"God! Is Ferguson crazy? "
"How can you go to bogba at this time? Even if you want to fight for the air supremacy, you should go to Smalling?"
"Smalling is a big leak. What are you doing with him?"
"Who is this bogba?"
"The rookie of the second team is the hero of the FA Cup."
……
The fans are talking about it, and the players of Manchester United are all looking down. They know that Ferguson will definitely adjust, but it's a bit unexpected to have an 18-year-old. Even some fans doubt whether Ferguson wants to give up the FA Cup.
He Hui, the commentator on the spot, said in surprise: "it's really unexpected. Sir Alex is Sir Alex, and no one knows what he will do next. Now, only Smalling and bogba can break free from the air supremacy with his opponents. Smalling is not a back midfield player, and he can't play third centre back. Maybe that's why Sir Alex chose bogba, but for bogba, that's not the reason It's also an opportunity. If he can perform well in such a duel, there will be a big hope for the upper position
As the focus of attention, bogba's brain was blank when he came on the court. This is Wembley Stadium, this is the City Derby, even if it's an FA Cup game, it's better than an ordinary League game in the semi-final.
Gao Xiaodong saw bogba's tension and excitement. He took the lead in patting the little guy on the shoulder and said in the tone of passers-by and big brother: "don't be nervous, relax and kick. You go to head Dzeko and grab the header. It doesn't matter if you lose it. There's me."
Bog stammered: "I know Gao Ge, the coach also asked me to tell you, at the end of this time, not only to consume time, but also to fight back boldly."
Bogba's instructions surprised and admired Gao Xiaodong. At this time, he also considered counterattack. In addition to Ferguson, few coaches have the courage.After bogba came on, he brought vigor and height to United's defence.
Although bogba has the least experience compared with all the players on the field, he has plenty of physical strength and can keep up with his height. He is not good at marking Dzeko, but it is very difficult for Dzeko to easily grab the high-altitude ball and ferry it to his teammates.
Gao Xiaodong knows what this game means to bogba. He is worried that bogba will make mistakes and be scored by his opponent. In this way, he will be spurted by the fans after the game and affect the confidence of the players behind.
So Gao Xiaodong tries to get close to bogba. Once bogba makes a mistake, he can help bogba solve it immediately.
Gao Xiaodong's preparation was not wrong. Bogba scored two consecutive headers after he came on the court. He was a little relaxed, but then Manchester City passed a half high ball. Bogba made a mistake. He intercepted the ball and was taken by Balotelli.
However, when Balotelli buckled Vidic and was ready to shoot, Gao Xiaodong caught up from behind and kicked the ball out of the bottom line.
Manchester City sent a corner, the ball was jacked out, and the landing point was still controlled by the players of Manchester City. When the ball was hoisted into the penalty area, bogba grabbed the landing point, headed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, and he ran to meet Gao Xiaodong.
Manchester City pay attention to Gao Xiaodong's defense when they serve the corner. When the ball is passed to Gao Xiaodong, there are three players coming up and two people blocking Gao Xiaodong's pass.
Gao Xiaodong saw the tall bogba under the encirclement of his opponent. He picked on the instep and passed the ball to bogba. He ran forward quickly to break out of the encirclement of his opponent.
But how could Manchester City give him the chance to take over bogba? Barry reached out and grabbed Gao Xiaodong, who was running without the ball. Silva stretched out his foot and tripped again, putting Gao Xiaodong to the ground.
But at this time, the referee did not see Gao Xiaodong without the ball. His eyes were on bogba.
Bogba headed the ball to Gao Xiaodong and put it forward. He was a nobody and no one defended him. It was not until Gao Xiaodong picked the ball to bogba that sabaleta came to steal it.
Sabaleta didn't take bogba seriously. He threw too hard and was easily picked over the top by bogba. Then bogba stopped the ball steadily, made another spike and swung past Wright Phillips.
Bogba's two attempts to get rid of the ball protection were brilliant, and the Manchester United fans in the stands clapped.
"Good!" Ferguson is getting wet on the sidelines. It's beautiful. This is the midfield I want. After two years of training, it will be a great achievement.
Bogba protected the ball without being robbed by the opponent. At this time, Gao Xiaodong had already got up and ran over.
"Paul, give me the ball."
Gao Xiaodong called to bogba.
Bogba heard Gao Xiaodong call him, he did not stick the ball, quickly gave the ball to Gao Xiaodong, he continued to forward, to meet Gao Xiaodong.
