Chapter 989

Justin returned to the court after a simple treatment.

Manchester United once again from Valencia to serve corner, Gao Xiaodong is still in the front of the restricted area to prepare for long-range shot and rush for the landing point.

Everton is a team that is very good at playing away with top teams.

Against Tottenham, Moyes prepared a clever strategy to let Tottenham in White Hart Lane, Everton at the Emirates Stadium so that Arsenal can not play the kind of control football at home. At Manchester City, Everton played a very good defensive performance and won 2-1. Everton knocked out Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup.

Now faced with Manchester United, they have to do their best. Their defense is very tough and careful. This time, there is no chance for Gao Xiaodong and other players to reach the top, Phil. Neville entangled Gao Xiaodong, and let Gao Xiaodong slow down.

Justin defended Ferdinand and Evans headed the ball out of the baseline with gargiegier.

This kind of defense is only a miniature of United's attack. Most of the time in the first half, the game was rarely played in the United's half. It was all the attack and defense drill between the Red Devils' forward attack group of five and Everton's four defenders and four midfielders. United rarely found space and created opportunities in Everton's men's crevices, occasionally created goals Opportunities are always wasted because of the interference of the opponent or the rush to start.

After more than 30 minutes of the game, Manchester United were still unable to rewrite the score, which made the United players very anxious. Not only two full backs beat the half court, but also centre backs Ferdinand and Evans were on the middle line.

It's also a worry that United's players will not be offside when they cross the midline, otherwise they will even want to cross the 30 meter area of Everton.

Manchester United is not a team with very delicate technical cooperation. Their attack relies on impact. Now Everton is pressed into their own 30 meter area. Manchester United's own characteristics can't play any more. They can only pass around Everton's restricted area, but they can't penetrate into the restricted area. Occasionally, they shoot from a long distance and are blocked by defenders.

Manchester United have the right to control the ball in the air, but they can't finish the threatening shot. It's very dangerous. Once Everton strikes back, Manchester United's back court can be comparable to the vast grassland.

In the 40th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong's long-range shot popped up on the guard. Everton finally got the ball right. Rodwell grabbed the landing point and passed the ball to Osman. Osman looked for the full back Byrnes who was quickly inserted.

Byrnes is one of the sharpest points in Everton's attack. His side breakthrough and passing are extremely threatening. Everton was beaten by Manchester United in the first half of today. Byrnes has a very heavy defensive task and few opportunities to counter attack.

seeing his teammates get the ball, Byrnes immediately stepped in, and his teammate Osman passed the ball to him unexpectedly.

Byrnes is running wildly on the side road, Valencia is chasing after him.

Valencia's speed is extremely fast. After Byrnes rushed into the 30 meter area, he felt Valencia's breathing sound more and more clear. Knowing that he couldn't shake off Manchester United's winger, he immediately stopped, got rid of Valencia and passed to the middle to find his striker Beckford.

Beckford, with Ferdinand and Evans at his side, was unable to break through Manchester United's defence, so he stopped the ball and passed it across to Osman, who was in the ribs.

Ferdinand moved quickly to the ribs to defend Osman.

Osman got the ball, quickly broke into the penalty area and hit the goal directly.

Ferdinand has a lot of experience, he guessed that Osman wanted to hit the door, and started to block it directly.

Ferdinand had a good time to block, but the ball hit his foot and bounced towards the goal.

This change of direction scared Ferdinand, Manchester United players and fans. The goalkeeper was most afraid of this kind of refracted ball, so there was no time to save.

But Manchester United were lucky. Edwin van der Sar had moved to the left side of the goal. The ball just hit him in the leg and bounced out. Anderson, who was chased back to the penalty area, kicked the ball out of the sideline.

Although Everton's counterattack did not score, but the threat is not small, Manchester United people were surprised, after grabbing Everton's out of bounds, the two centre backs did not press so close, in order to prevent three lines out of line, Anderson also had to withdraw, so that Manchester United's front court to Everton's defense to reduce the pressure a lot.

Manchester United couldn't break Everton's defence and Everton couldn't organize the counterattack. In the first half, they came to the last minute in the fierce competition in midfield.

United have no time to be patient, Rafael a 45 degree long pass to the penalty area, looking for Rooney and Hernandez in the area.

Obviously, this kind of passing is a gamble. It's impossible for Wayne Rooney and Hernandez to win the spot.

The ball was not expected by Justin top out, the ball was grabbed by Anderson, Anderson in the middle of the rapid cross knock to Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong volley is a shot.

Gao Xiaodong's shot went through the seam, but Everton goalkeeper Howard seemed to find the feeling after returning to his old club's stadium. Gao Xiaodong's long-range shot with a good angle was saved out of the bottom line by him.Manchester United sent a corner, Nani's corner was shot out of the penalty area by the goalkeeper, then referee Jones blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

After the half-time, Manchester United made a replacement adjustment. Veteran Paul Scholes came on and replaced Anderson. Manchester United's midfield was no longer a purely defensive player.

Although it's a bit risky, Ferguson's judgment of the situation is very clear. The opponents defend intensively and don't have much power to fight back. Anderson's role on the field is very small. It's not as good as the veteran. Let the veteran Paul Scholes organize the attack and look for the flaws in Everton's defense.

Veteran Paul Scholes took over most of Gao Xiaodong's organizational work after playing, and Gao Xiaodong can go all out to attack Everton's forbidden area.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Scholes went straight to Wayne Rooney. Rooney took the defender's hand and set the ball. Gao Xiaodong quickly broke into the left side of the penalty area and shot from a small angle.

Howard's position is very good, he blocked Gao Xiaodong's shooting angle, the ball hit Howard and bounced out.

Scholes and Gao Xiaodong sent out a tactical corner. Gao Xiaodong broke into the restricted area and lifted the ball back. Valencia volleyed outside the restricted area and hit the ball on the side net.

In the 60th minute, Manchester United played the best match of the game. Scholes was on the edge, Gao Xiaodong, Valencia and Rooney made a continuous kick on one side of the penalty area. Finally, Gao Xiaodong knocked Hernandez with his heel, and Hernandez fell to the ground and strafed 13 yards from the penalty area.

Manchester United's passing and cutting cooperation was dazzling. When Hernandez shot, the defenders didn't respond.

However, Howard, who returned to Old Trafford, was in a state of great courage. He stretched out his foot to block the ball out of the bottom line before he could get off the ground.
