Chapter 192: Destiny is in your own hands
Chapter 192: The fate of oneself
When Tiger said this to Ross, he really completely let go of Inter Milan and Barcelona's interest in him - just as Ross never mentioned such a thing to him.
Ross said tactfully to Inter Milan, who had already started to contact him, that Tiger did not want to be disturbed by other things now, but just wanted to play the next game of the season well. Inter Milan also expressed his understanding. After all, Ross did not say anything. After this season, Inter Milan had time to contact us...
On April 14, two teams who had already fought a bloody battle on this field three days ago met again on this field. What they were competing for will be the final rights of this season's FA Cup!
In England, the status of the FA Cup is undoubtedly. So far, there are still many Premier League head coaches and quite a few British fans who believe that the importance of the FA Cup is more important than that of the league and the Champions League. Premier League teams may give up the League Cup, but they rarely give up the FA Cup.
Both sides once again sent out a starting lineup that was exactly the same as in the previous game. This is their strongest lineup. Neither Ferguson nor Wenger were willing to have any reservations in this game.
In the league, the two teams strangled together, and in the FA Cup, neither side was willing to give up.
No one who desires victory in this game is more eager than Tiger. Win this game. The most basic task this season is right in front of him. Another team participating in the final is Newcastle. They defeated Tottenham in the semi-finals to advance to the final. Hiller scored two goals in overtime. Whether it is for Manchester United or Arsenal, it will not be too difficult to defeat Newcastle. After all, Newcastle is not in good shape this season. No matter who enters the final, he almost won the championship!
There is no doubt that this is the most important game Tiger has ever had this season!
Only after winning this championship can Tiger participate in the remaining competitions at his best. He will no longer be nervous or become a little nervous. His mental state will be relieved like never before!
When playing the Charity Shield Cup before, Tiger was not the main player. He only came on as a substitute for a few minutes and could only watch the champion slip away from him. Now, Tiger recalled that if the champion had obtained it, maybe he would not have been in a state of nervousness this season, and there would not have been those bad things caused by emotional excitement. For example, when he was angry in an interview, he finally had to wipe his butt for him, such as refusing to play... Even the connection with Kelly would be more...
Because of the busy game, Tiger failed to meet Kelly when he went to London to participate in the national team competition last time. Kelly was also a little angry about this. He didn't call him for several days, and the relationship between the two has been alleviated in the past few days.
"Old man, kill these bastards in front of you and save my life!" Tiger clenched his fists before he went on stage and shouted in his heart.
Tiger, who was full of murderous aura, walked onto the stadium. When the players of both sides shook hands, Tiger and Vieira stared at each other for several seconds before letting go to the next Arsenal player.
In the game three days ago, Tiger attacked the front of the penalty area guarded by Vieira almost crazy. Vieira broke through several times and was embarrassed by him. Vieira's performance was not bad. Tiger also had many breakthroughs and passes and was intercepted by him in the middle. Although the two sides almost tied, they tied with Vieira, a top defensive player who had already established his position in the Premier League. Tiger invisibly improved his position.
However, Tiger was not satisfied - I must beat this guy completely! Then win this game!
After the game started, Vieira took the initiative to come to Tiger - in this game, Arsenal will focus more on defense, because the longer the time is, the more beneficial it is to Arsenal - after all, they have played several fewer games this season than Manchester United, and those more games are not just games that can win casually, but a Champions League knockout match that you have to fight for in every game to win, the FA Cup rematch... In terms of physical fitness, Arsenal has a slight advantage, and what Wenger has to do is to expand this advantage.
Because it is mainly defense, Vieira's offensive task in this game is not heavy, which also makes him very interested in defending Tiger. The excellence of Manchester United's double attack midfielder is that they can always run out of space in the midfield. If the defender tops the ball, the penalty area will appear very empty. But now, after Vieira returns to defense, Arsenal is not worried about this.
Seeing Vieira pounce on him, Tiger raised his foot and made a pass, then immediately dunked the ball back, and Cruyff turned around!
Although I knew that Tiger was doing this very beautifully, Vieira was still shaken by this action - the so-called fake action is real and real, and it does not necessarily mean that he would turn around. If Vieira did not take Tiger's action, Tiger might have passed the ball or made a breakthrough directly. Sometimes successful defense and failed defense are short of this moment, which is the charm of football.
However, Vieira turned around quite quickly, and he immediately turned around and then took off the scoop!
The threat of his long legs was too great. Even if Tiger tweeted it, it would be unlikely that he would push the ball away from his defensive range. However, Tiger didn't think about breaking through directly. The moment he dunked, he passed the ball horizontally to Giggs who was inserted on the left, then jumped up to avoid Vieira's tackle, then rushed forward and threw Vieira away!
As soon as Giggs touched the ball, he sent the ball back to Tiger's feet again!
"Tiger threw Vieira away! Now he has no defense! We have calculated that at this distance, no defense, Tiger can form a goal in almost every two attacks, whether it is his own goal or assisting his teammates to score!"
The commentator's shouts were still echoing in the air. Tiger had just received a return pass from Giggs, and a figure rushed over fiercely and blocked Tiger's face!
Arsenal captain, Adams, who has returned from injury shortly after returning!
Adams's timing for rushing out of the penalty area was just right, and all he had to do was delay this, because Vieira had already climbed up and would soon return to the defense - when Vieira came back, Adams would naturally be able to return to the penalty area to defend again. Now there is only York in Manchester United's penalty area, and Keon will be alone for a while.
Adams' front defense was quite excellent. Tiger was forced by him and there was no chance to move forward. He could only take the ball and turn to protect the ball. However, Tiger just turned around and saw Vieira pounce at him...
"The two of Adams and Vieira's two attacks! Poor Tiger is about to become the cream filling in the sandwich biscuit..."
The commentator joked that Tiger, who was on the field, began to feel unparalleled pressure. At this moment, he saw Beckham running from the right to the diagonal line towards the middle!
Before she could think, Tiger raised her foot and passed the ball horizontally. The ball landed directly in front of Beckham!
Facing Tiger's return pass, Beckham swung his right foot while running, and shot hard with a long shot!
A long shot that was almost thirty meters away from the goal!
The ball quickly flew into the penalty area, and Ximan jumped up, but there was a deviation in judging the height of the ball's flight. After he reached out his hand, he realized that he could not reach it. Ximan, who was in the air, immediately "splied" in his heart!
He could only pray that Beckham's long shot would be high, but before he could fall down, he heard a "swish" sound coming from behind!
Half of the Villa Park stadium immediately heard a huge cheer!
"The ball...the ball went in! David Beckham! A wonderful long shot from thirty meters away from the goal! The ball bypassed Himan's hand and flew into the dead corner of the goal! One to zero! Manchester United took the lead in the FA Cup semi-finals rematch!"
Ferguson waved his fists and two England internationals joined forces to contribute the goal, which also gave Manchester United the lead in this game!
Wenger stood up with a calm face, then made a gesture to the field - counterattack! Pull the ball back!
***************************************************
"Relying on Beckham's wonderful long shot in the 17th minute, Manchester United took the lead, and Arsenal was not willing to fail. They launched a fierce counterattack, and both sides made great moves on the court... Oh, before they finished speaking, Keane knocked down Borgkamp in the midfield and received a yellow card! This is the fourth yellow card both sides received in ten minutes. Manchester United's Keane and Johnson each received one, and Arsenal's Petit and Lungberg also each received one! The intensity of the game can be seen!"
As the commentator said, Arsenal launched a fierce attack in the next game, and Manchester United also made fierce pressing based on the midfield to maintain the leading advantage until the midfield. The consequence of the two sides fighting for in-depth land in the midfield is that there are many fouls and physical confrontations. Four yellow cards were given in ten minutes, and the rhythm of the game was frequently interrupted, and the angry players on both sides became increasingly fierce.
This fierce defense allowed both sides to have no good chance in the next game. The first half ended quickly, with Manchester United leading 1-0 to finish the first half and entering the halftime break.
"Good job! Continue to do this in the second half, stop their attack in the midfield, let Arsenal see that our defense is much better than them!" Ferguson shouted in the locker room, while Manchester United players who had already hit the real fire also waved their fists and shouted loudly.
Tiger applied his calves with an ice pack. In this kind of fierce physical confrontation, his skills were very little room for exercise. Most of the time he served in the frontcourt and occasionally retreated to participate in the midfield. However, both sides made many mistakes in offensive attacks, and he almost didn't get much good chance.
"Tiger, pay attention to his position in the second half and be ready to receive the pass from his teammates at any time... We won't get too many opportunities in this game, so don't waste opportunities." Ferguson said specifically to Tiger.
Tiger nodded. He could tell which one is more important, especially in such a critical game. If you seize one more chance, the team will have a greater chance of winning, and he will be closer to saving his life.
"Roy, pay attention to the cards. You already have a yellow card." Ferguson then said to Keane, he was still at ease with Keane. Although taking a yellow card made him have some concerns in the future defense, in this case, Manchester United really has Keane, Optimus Prime, who is in the midfield. Bart has excellent defense, but compared with Keane, there is still a big gap.
"In the next forty-five minutes, you must show your courage, perseverance and persistence. Arsenal is the strongest opponent in the league. In addition to the Champions League, they have fought fiercely with us in all fields this season... Last season they had already snatched the FA Cup and the league from us. Do we have to lose to them again this season? No! Last season was also in the FA Cup semi-finals, we were eliminated by them and overwhelmed by them in the league. Now, it is time to get all this back! Defeat them and then win the league championship. We will win the triple crown this season! League, FA Cup, Champions League, I want all of it!"
"It's all ours!" Keane waved his fists and shouted, and the players shouted with him one after another - yes, as a player, they just want to win honor! Last season, they were all empty, and this season they will take back what they lost from all aspects!
************************************************
After the second half, the competition between the two sides in the midfield was even better than the first half. In every corner of the stadium, Manchester United players wearing white jerseys and Arsenal players wearing red jerseys started a fierce battle. This game is not only related to the qualification of the FA Cup final, but the winning side will undoubtedly have a psychological advantage in the subsequent league competition!
The game was fierce but not exciting. Both sides invested too much troops in the midfield, so they failed to create too many good opportunities. In this case, the performance of the stars often determines everything, such as Beckham's shocking long-range shot in the first half...
The protagonist in the second half became Arsenal's number one star, Dutchman "Ice Prince" Borgkamp!
When the game reached the 24th minute of the second half, just when Manchester United had about twenty minutes left to win, Borgkamp's goal left Manchester United fans speechless and made Arsenal fans crazy!
He received an Anelka's return pass at the front of the penalty area, and then resolutely took a long shot. Stam stretched out his foot to block it, but the ball hit his knee and changed the line. Schmeichel, who had already made a save, was no longer able to turn the sky back and could only watch the ball enter the net!
There is no doubt that this is a goal with luck, but luck is also part of strength!
Even Beckham's long shot in the first half was not a manifestation of luck!
In this game, both sides almost achieved the ultimate defense - just like the last game, most of the game, both sides pressed desperately and defended desperately, so that the opponent did not get much chance. Manchester United scored an unusual long shot, and Arsenal scored a lucky balloon that changed the line!
The game returned to its initial state, but it was obvious that Arsenal, who tied the score at this time, began to gain an advantage on the field!
Four minutes after the goal, Borgkamp's long shot outside the penalty area, Schmeichel saved the ball and Anelka made a shot into the net - however, after a long discussion between the referee and the lineman, the goal was judged to be offside and then first, and the goal was invalid!
It was proved that the penalty was correct after the game. At the moment Borgkamp shot, Anelka had already passed half of the last defender Johnson, and the linebacker's judgment was very accurate!
Manchester United, who escaped the disaster, did not have to be lucky if they survived. Instead, in the 85th minute of the game, Orvemas broke through Erwin's defense on the wing and penetrated into the penalty area. Keane, who was making up for defense, was forced to stretch his foot to tackle the Dutch. The referee showed him the second yellow card, and Keane was sent out!
"The situation took a sharp turn! Manchester United had the opportunity to keep the lead until the end of the game, but Stam's knee blocked the shot of compatriot Borgkamp into Manchester United's goal! And in the current stalemate, Manchester United's captain Keane was sent off again! The current situation is quite unfavorable for Manchester United. You must know that although it has not been long since the end of the game, even if Arsenal does not score in the next game, there are still 30 minutes of overtime waiting for them! Can Manchester United, one less, pass the Arsenal level? Manchester United needs heroes!"
The commentator said in an extremely regretful tone, and on the court, looking at the Arsenal fans cheering wildly in the stands, Tiger clenched his fists!
One less person... Then, let me make up for this vacancy! There will not be too many players left in the frontcourt, so let me be a free agent who will take charge of the whole game, help Manchester United win this game, and also help myself increase more hope of winning the championship!
Destiny depends on yourself!
Heroes come from troubled times! This moment of crisis is the moment when I, Tiger Lee, show my skills!
Now that the situation is so serious, isn’t it time for me, Taeg Lee to show off her style? The hero who turns the tide is the real hero!
