Chapter 897 The game is over!

Time finally entered eighty minutes.

Ferguson stood on the sidelines, watching the game on the court anxiously, and was worried all the time.

There are still the last ten minutes left. As long as he can survive these last ten minutes, he and his team will create great miracles.

Perhaps, many years later, he will be circulated by others.

Gao Han has been in his debut for eleven years and has never been defeated. If Manchester United can defend the score 1-to-one to the end in this game, the Red Devils will become the first team in eleven years to force Gao Han to lose points.

And Ferguson will be proud of this.

But he knew how difficult it was.

In the past ten minutes, both teams were adjusting their own.

Manchester United still focuses on defensive counterattacks, and the main tone has not changed much from the beginning. At best, it has appropriately strengthened the midfield's defensive ability, especially the defense on both sides.

The key is Manchester City.

Gao Han replaced Sanchez with Gareth Bale, but Cristiano Ronaldo still occupied the left side, and Wales wings reached the right side. This was very obvious, which was to have a player who could cut inside and shot on both sides.

This is undoubtedly a signal to strengthen the offense.

Manchester City players on both wings have strong personal abilities and it is difficult to defend alone, so Manchester United must stabilize the defense on both sides, but in this way, the middle is a little empty.

Ferdinand was injured just now. The team doctor told him that it was when he was defending Cristiano Ronaldo that the two fell together and accidentally injured their leg. After a simple treatment, they could still continue the game, but it was obviously affected.

The goal that Manchester City equalized the score just now, Sanchez hit the penalty area, and Ferdinand hurriedly assisted in defense, but failed to keep up with Sanchez's pace and was eaten by the Chilean winger. If this was normal, it would at least be interfered with, and the Chilean winger would not easily pass the ball to the back point.

This is also the reason why Ferguson was reluctant to use the third substitution. He had to be wary of Ferdinand's unbearable end.

What's more, Evans on the bench does not have the strength to replace Ferdinand for the time being. Whether he will make mistakes on the bench in such a critical game is also a question that Ferguson must consider carefully.

Based on various factors, Ferguson finally chose to let Ferdinand stay on the court and persist in the game.

But in this way, Ferdinand and Pepe have to guard Benzema at the same time, and the middle lane is obviously empty.

After Manchester City substitution, they tried to pass the ball to Benzema many times, and then let Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale cut in from both sides, but Ferguson was prepared for this. Park Ji-sung retreated deeper, looking like a drag-back midfielder protecting the front of the penalty area.

This allowed Manchester United to temporarily block Manchester City's offensive.

However, Ferguson knew in his heart that this was only temporary.

With the strength of Manchester City players, even if Gao Han doesn't make adjustments, they will sooner or later react and take countermeasures.

Therefore, what Ferguson is thinking the most now is not how to counterattack the offense, but how to further stabilize the defense.

He even couldn't help but pray in his heart, hoping that the team could hold on until the end.

Just one draw is victory.

…………

…………

draw?

This is a result that Manchester City cannot accept anyway.

Kaka has no doubt about this.

He knew very well that head coach Gao Han had never won in his eleven years of debut. If he was tied in this game, then Manchester United would be very motivated in the second leg of the game at Old Trafford, while Manchester City would completely collapse.

The old fox of Manchester United obviously knew this, so he began to retreat across the board.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Gareth Bale were closely guarded by each other, with at least two players following them, which made Kaka realize that he had to do something and break the deadlock.

Thinking of this, the Brazilian players made a secret decision.

"Cristiano." Kaka shouted softly.

The Portuguese on the left side followed the reputation. The two of them just had a look of eye contact and began to know each other's teammates' thoughts.

Kaka walked back panting.

Until now, his physical fitness has been consumed very seriously, but he must stick to the end in the last ten minutes.

Modric and Xavi Alonso were both looking at him, and Kaka also had the same look, so both of them understood it.

Manchester City began to retreat to the center line, and the defense also retreated to its own half, waiting for Van der Sar to take the goal.

The Dutch goalkeeper set up the ball, took two steps back, took a deep breath, quickly stepped forward, and kicked the ball through half a game with a big foot.

Tevez and Rooney had no header advantage in front of Kompany, Xavi Martinez and Feltonheng, and Kompany pushed the ball back to the midfield.

Modric grabbed the second landing point and stopped the ball, but Manchester United's pressing was like a shadow.

Croatian midfielder quickly made a comeback, and Manchester City's overall formation retreated.

Tevez and Rooney actively pressed in the frontcourt, Manchester City retreated, and Manchester United's defense also began to adapt to the current pressure, supporting the pressing and pressure in the midfield.

After tossing and turning, Xavi Alonso suddenly moved the ball to the left.

Kaka didn't know when he suddenly ran to the left to catch the ball, while Cristiano Ronaldo was still at the front, which made Osheim and Matic have to pay attention to the Portuguese movement at any time.

Fortunately it was Kaka.

Everyone knows that after the Brazilian superstar came to Manchester City, he transformed very successfully, transforming from the original mid-lane assaulter to the frontcourt organizational offensive player. The original high-speed dribbling breakthrough is becoming less and less common, so Manchester United's defensive players are still more at ease with Kaka's goal.

Giggs leaned over to defend, but more wanted to force Kaka to pass the ball back.

But unexpectedly, before Giggs approached, Kaka suddenly started and drove the ball forward.

Everyone was a little surprised by the sudden change, but Giggs followed suit as soon as possible, and Matic even returned to prevent and intercept.

Kaka has indeed completed the transformation, but this does not mean that he has lost the sharpest weapon.

After a sudden activation, Kaka blocked Giggs with his body. Before Matic approached, he dribbled the ball and slashed the ball forward. After avoiding Matic, he accelerated to chase after him.

This move was Kaka's masterpiece at his peak. Now when using it, the rhythm and pace are still the same as before, but the speed is a little slower, but he still left Matic and Giggs away and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo is still standing on the left side. Osheim did not dare to be careless and followed him without hesitation because he noticed that the Portuguese had always deliberately kept a distance to avoid falling into an offside position, which proves that Manchester City could pass the ball to the left at any time.

Seeing Kaka getting closer and closer to the penalty area, Ferdinand and Carrick both rushed towards Kaka at the same time, while Pepe retreated back to the penalty area and was ready to assist in defense at any time. The positions of the three players made Manchester United's defense more layered, and at the same time, they were also guarding against Benzema who was following Kaka in the middle.

But just as Kaka approached Ferdinand, he suddenly pushed the ball back and passed it behind Benzema. The French striker also reacted very quickly. After a quick stop, he turned around and turned his back to the goal, blocked Carrick with his body, stopped the ball, pulled it, turned to the right, and pushed it lightly.

Not sure when Gareth Bale suddenly rushed over from the right.

The Welshman was very fast and directly left Leiden Bynes and Park Ji-sung behind and passed the ball straight to Benzema at the top of the penalty area.

At this moment, all the fans in the audience were shocked.

Ferguson on the sidelines rushed out of the coach's seat and looked at the stadium in disbelief.

Pepe reacted the fastest, rushed out of the penalty area at the first time, and directly rushed towards Gareth Bale and the ball. In order to boost his courage, he even shouted hard, hoping to shock Gareth Bale.

But unexpectedly, the Welsh took the lead and stopped the ball coming from left to right to the left, avoiding Pepe who was robbing, and then chased him. Before the ball could stop, he swung his left foot and shot it directly!

"My God, dangerous!"

"Manchester United..."

"Gareth Bale shot!"

"The ball is in!!!!!!"

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!"

"God, this is a long shot from the top of the arc!"

After Gareth Bale took a kick, he saw the ball crossing Van der Sar's head and almost hit the crossbar and hit the goal. He rushed to the side of the field quickly, shook his teammates away along the way, rushed out of the court, and slid and knelt in front of the chairman's stands, shouting with all his strength, venting his inner excitement.

"In the 82nd minute, a long shot from Gareth Bale from outside the penalty area."

"Marteau United's defense is indeed very well organized, but Manchester City's offensive ability is really amazing."

"Gao Han on the sidelines seemed extremely excited. His substitutions played a miraculous effect. After Gareth Bale came on the court, he scored a goal in a reverse. This is also one of the most important goals for the Welsh young player this season, which is very exciting."

"Ferguson looks very depressed. He has absolutely reason to be dissatisfied with this sudden goal, but he has to admit that at the critical moment, Gareth Bale's final decision decided the game."

"However, looking at the entire goal, Kaka's performance is also crucial. He suddenly switched from the middle to the left, making Manchester United's defense a little passive. His rare breakthrough dribbling also disrupted Manchester United's deployment, especially passing three opponents in a row, which was even more surprising, allowing us to vaguely see Kaka at his peak."

"This once again proves that even if the transformation has been completed, Kaka is still the most threatening and lethal superstar on this planet."

Manchester City players hugged each other on the sidelines, Gareth Bale was surrounded by his teammates, and the entire city stadium was shouting his name, which made the Welsh people feel proud, grinning, gritting their teeth, and shouting loudly, very excited.

This is a goal worth a thousand gold, and it is also a goal that locks the game victory!

Gao Han breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines.

He originally planned to use the skill card at the last moment to win a game for the team, but unexpectedly, the players he trusted at the critical moment brought him rewards.

This is definitely not the credit of Gareth Bell alone!

Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema...

Everyone in the team played a role and made contributions. Gareth Bale was just the lucky one who appeared in the most critical position at the last moment and calmly seized the opportunity.

"I'm right, this kid should be on the right!" Gao Han pointed at Gareth Bale and shouted vigorously.

"On the right, his speed and impact, his scoring ability can be maximized, and he will become an offensive machine that will not lose to anyone."

At this moment, Gao Han was full of confidence in victory.
Chapter completed!
