Chapter 0015 perfect curtain call
At the pre-match press conference for the 34th round of Premier League matches between Manchester United and Hull City the next morning, a reporter asked Ye Su about this report from the Sun.
Ye Su scoffed at this and said: "If I am really the evil cursed wizard as the tabloid said, and have the power to change the game, why don't I curse Manchester City together? Could it be that Manchester City is not our mortal enemy?"
Ye Su's words left this reporter speechless. Indeed, Liverpool is Manchester United's mortal enemy, so Manchester City is not Manchester United's mortal enemy? If Liverpool was cursed by Ye Su? Then wouldn't the profiteer become Manchester United's mortal enemy in the same city? If Ye Su really has that kind of cursing ability, why not even Manchester City curse together? Although such a profiteer is still not Manchester United, Chelsea is not Manchester United's mortal enemy, right?
Seeing that this reporter was stopped by Ye Su, other reporters immediately asked questions, but Ye Su didn't want to bother with this question anymore and said bluntly that he would not answer this question again. Now he only cares about the upcoming game and whether Manchester United can defeat his opponent.
In fact, this is the case, because whether the upcoming game can win depends on whether Manchester United can surpass Tottenham in the standings. If they cannot win the game, the next thing will have nothing to do with him, Ye Su.
……………………
Although Hull City is not a strong team and has completed relegation, in the 36 rounds that have ended, Tiger City has won 10 wins, 7 draws and 19 losses, and has won 37 points, ranking 15th in the Premier League. With only one game left behind, they are 4 points ahead of them, but no chance of being relegated. However, any Premier League team cannot be underestimated, because once you underestimate it, it may give you a first blow.
It was like Manchester United faced Sunderland in the last round, or it was a day before it blocked Liverpool's Crystal Palace.
What's more, Manchester United's situation in this game is actually very bad.
The fierce battle with Sunderland three days ago, especially Ye Su, who inspired the chicken blood scheming card. Although this made Manchester United turn the situation around, it also caused a huge overdrawal to the physical fitness of Manchester United players who played.
Obviously, 72 hours is not enough to restore most of the players who played in that game to their fitness, so among the 11 confirmed starters, De Gea was the only one who started the game against Sunderland.
This basically means that Ye Su sent a second Manchester United player to this game.
On the back line, Smalling, Phil Jones, Evans and Patna were partnered, Fletcher and Fellaini were partnered with midfielder, and on the forward line was a combination of Januzai, Shinji Kagawa and Villebeck, and James Wilson was the single arrow. The seven people sitting on the bench also basically couldn't see the first two starters, namely Lindergard, Michael Keane, Valencia, Giggs, Carrick, Hernandez and Van Persie.
These players had the starter before, and only Hernandez and Van Persie had the opportunity to play on the bench.
……………………
Ye Su was not sure whether such a team could defeat Hull City. However, he was very helpless to make such a decision, because the situation seen from the Savior system after opening the physical fitness card, including Rooney, the physical fitness of the starting players in the last game was really bad. Even if they were asked to come on as a substitute, there were considerable risks.
Originally, Ye Su wanted Van Persie to start, but judging from his performance in the last twenty minutes of the bench in the last game, General Fan's condition is worrying and he is still unable to start.
Ye Su plans to continue to let him play as a substitute in the second half, which is also considered a surprise player.
For Ye Su, the only good news is that Manchester United has an absolute crushing advantage in the historical record with Hull City. The two teams have only 25 matches in total Manchester United wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, and Manchester United won 14 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in the league. Manchester United has won all the results in the last 8 matches of Hull City. The last time Manchester United lost to Hull City was in the second division in 1974. Hull City has never won Manchester United in the league, and the only time he won at Old Trafford was in the third round of the FA Cup in 1952.
However, this season, Old Trafford has become a sad place for Manchester United. Various unbeaten records have been broken repeatedly, and another unbeaten record was lost last weekend. Now, Manchester United fans are having a headache when talking about unbeaten records, but Manchester United is an unbeaten record against Hull City at home.
Judging from the points, Hull City has already relegated ahead of schedule without any desire, and Manchester United still has some possibility of surpassing Tottenham to enter the European game. In terms of fighting spirit, Manchester United should be stronger.
……………………
Before the game began, Manchester United held a farewell ceremony for captain Vidic, who was about to leave Old Trafford. The Serbian took the memorial book from Bobby Charlton. Giggs, Rooney and Villebeck all stood up to dedicate applause to Vader, who will leave this summer.
This Manchester United second team, which looked more like a temporary piece of paper, actually burst out after the game started, fighting will and combat power that surprised Ye Su.
These players who usually find it difficult to even play opportunities cherish this rare starting opportunity. As soon as the opening whistle sounds, they run without hesitation to press their opponents.
In the third minute, Januzai, who was using the dribbling card by Ye Su in this game, dribbling and breakthroughs were made on the right, and then a cross pass was made. Fellaini headed the ball to the front of the goal, and Wilson's shot was blocked directly.
Immediately, Januzai received Valencia's cross, broke through the right rib and entered the penalty area, and then Efigueroa tackled from behind, but the referee Paulson refused to award a penalty.
This penalty made Ye Su very dissatisfied with the sidelines, and the Old Trafford Stadium booed all over the sky.
In the 8th minute, Shinji Kagawa shot with his left foot outside the penalty area and then shot Shinji Kagawa shot and hit the defensive player and then went out of the baseline after losing balance in front of the arc of the penalty area.
In the 16th minute, Weirbeck ran in the middle and shot 25 meters away from the goal and flew out of the baseline.
In the 28th minute, Januzai dribbled the ball from the right and broke into the penalty area again. Figueroa fell to the ground and blocked the ball, but Baosen still refused to award the penalty. This caused him to boo the ball from more than 70,000 fans at home, and even some voices of greeting his female family members.
……………………
But Manchester United, who took the absolute initiative on the field, still scored the first goal. In the 31st minute, Januzai took a free kick from the right to the far end, Fellaini beat Davis to head the ball. Wilson, who was only 19 years old, scored with his left foot from 9 meters, and Manchester United took the lead.
This goal relieved some Ye Su's concerns and also released some of the anger accumulated by home team fans due to consecutive unfavorable penalties.
However, neither team made any further achievements since then. In the first half of the game, Manchester United, which had the advantage in possession and took the initiative, led Hull City 1:0 and entered the half-time break.
At the beginning of the second half, Hull City replaced two consecutively, and Meller was soon warned by a yellow card for invading Welbeck. Then, Welbeck and Wilson each completed a shot in a short time, and the ball eventually missed the baseline.
In the 51st minute, Januzai shot with his left foot outside the penalty area, and Yankupovich saved the ball from the bottom line.
In the 60th minute, Januzai broke through on the right and made a cross. Fellaini's shot angle was too straight and was blocked by Yankupovich. Wilson shot twice with his right foot from the edge of the small penalty area.
However, Hull City immediately used the team's first effective attack in the game to score a point. In the 63rd minute, Boyd passed the ball. Foyat, who came on as a substitute in the second half, dribbled away from Carrick's front defense and then shot a long-range shot from 28 meters away to shoot a world wave. The ball directly drilled into the bottom right corner of the goal, and the score on the field became 2:1.
……………………
Shortly after Hull City scored a goal, Ye Su planned to make a substitution adjustment. He asked his assistant coach Giggs to go to the sidelines to start warming up.
Wanglaoji will retire after the end of this season, so in this last home game, Ye Su decided to give him some playing time.
In the 64th minute, Manchester United replaced two consecutively. Ye Su replaced Wilson, the goal-winning hero with Van Persie, and Giggs replaced Wilbeck.
With injury stoppage time, Wanglaoji will have about half an hour of performance in this game, and his position is the left forward he is best at.
Wanglaoji showed good condition when he appeared on the court, and he performed very positively on the court. He could not tell that he was a super veteran over 40 years old.
Manchester United fans naturally do not hesitate to their applause for their own legend. Whenever Giggs performs well, overwhelming applause and cheers sounded at the scene.
In the 72nd minute, Giggs received a pass from Kagawa Shinji to the edge of the penalty area, but Bruce fell to the ground in the penalty area and again appeared with a handball. However, the referee of this game ignored the foul again, causing Old Trafford to boo again.
In the 77th minute, Mele's shot from 17 meters was too straight and was blocked by De Gea.
Two minutes later, Van Persie received a pass from Januzai and missed the goal. Then, the active Elmuhammadi was injured and forced to leave the court.
In the 86th minute, two Manchester United players who came on the bench successfully connected and performed excellent cooperation. Giggs made a wonderful pass from the left rib. Van Persie turned half and shot blocked and scored with his right foot 15 meters after the goal was blocked. The score on the field was changed to 3:1 and secured the victory.
In the 88th minute, Smalling almost scored an own goal.
In the 90th minute, Meer deliberately stepped on Januzai's calf near the bottom line but escaped punishment.
In stoppage time, Giggs shot directly with his left foot from his free kick from 30 meters away. After appearing, Ye Su put the free kick on him. This shot like a flying fairy from the sky was directly at the dead corner. Even Hull goalkeeper Jankupovich flew to save it, it could not stop the ball from flying into the goal.
At that moment, Old Trafford completely exploded.
In the previous period of this season, Giggs had 21 opportunities to play and gave 2 assists. In addition, his assists to Van Persie in this game made him three assists in the season, but he did not score.
Seeing that the game was about to end, fans thought that Giggs' record of scoring goals in the top league for 23 consecutive seasons was about to end, but he did not expect that at the last moment, he actually kicked such a perfect free kick, winning the long-awaited goal of the fans.
Chapter completed!
