Chapter 0260 The scene is anxious

"Don't think too much, call back!" Zeng Zhi shouted loudly in the stands.

"Yes, call back and teach them a lesson!" Jesse Lingard also shouted loudly.

Many fans around also started to make excuses.

"call back!"

"Occurrence! Attack!!! Attack!!!"

“glory, glory, man united…”

...

The momentum is getting bigger and bigger, and Manchester United players have also noticed the shouting from the chairman's stands.

"Mar United fans are so crazy. They were almost broken by the goal just now, but in a blink of an eye, they are still calling on the team to continue attacking!" The commentator on the scene was amazed at the shouts of the fans of the St. Red Devils at the scene.

This is simply integrating offensive football into the team's blood and soul.

Southampton took a corner kick, and De Gea quickly rushed out of the small penalty area, grabbed the ball from mid-air before Wonte. The whole process seemed very decisive.

As soon as the ball was obtained, De Gea directly kicked the ball forward with a big foot.

Van Persie won the first place in front and passed it to the unguarded left side.

Luke Shaw was like a sharp knife, sprinting forward quickly on the left, grabbing Bertram before he grabbed Bertram and getting the ball. Bertram, who was back to defend, almost fell down, but quickly stabilized the formation.

Even when the corner kick was in, Southampton attached great importance to preventing counterattacks, and the return speed was very fast.

After Luke Xiao stopped urgently, he did not have the confidence to kill Bertram one-on-one, and knocked the ball back to Carrick who was inserted.

Carrick faced Schneiderlin, stopped the ball to the left with his left foot, and then passed the ball to the left foot, passing the ball to the right of the penalty area.

I saw Di Maria, who had been advancing just now, rushed into the penalty area and faced Carrick's pass, and kept stopping the ball, and directly volleyed with his right foot.

Manchester United's Mark Six's history has a good grasp of the landing point of the ball and is very accurate. In addition, Carrick's pass is also very comfortable and suitable for playing directly, so the entire volley was completed very well.

But Fraze Foster's position was stuck too well. Di Maria wanted to play a high ball, but the ball route was not low enough. He heard a bang, and the ball hit the crossbar, bounced high, and landed behind the goal.

Southampton goal!

The entire Old Trafford stadium sighed together.

If this ball is pressed lower, it will be there!

Di Maria also grabbed her head with annoyance. If this ball is in, it will be a super world wave.

"Manchester United quickly changed to color, and a very fast counterattack directly tore open the Southampton defense line."

"Dimaria's volley was very beautiful, but she didn't hold it down, which is a pity."

"This shot is a reminder to Southampton not to think that Manchester United is easy to bully."

"This shot hit Manchester United's momentum!"

...

The commentators said excitedly.

Zeng Zhi smiled bitterly. Both sides had an excellent opportunity, which was evenly matched. It was worthy of being a direct contest between the third and fourth place in the league.

Zeng Zhi sat back in his position. He felt that after these two shots, both sides should be a little more cautious in the first half, and the head coaches of both sides would definitely make some adjustments.

As it turned out, he was right. Although the following game was still very intense and the pace was still very fast, both sides began to become a little cautious.

This stalemate situation remained until the end of the first half. Neither side could rewrite the score and ended the first half with a score of 0:0.

……………………

The heat in the away team's locker room at Old Trafford Stadium was rising, and eleven Southampton players who started were sitting inside, gasping for breath. Even Frazer Foster, who was goalkeeper, was no exception.

The first half ended at zero to zero, but this did not mean that the game was dull. On the contrary, the pace of the game was very fast and the situation was tense, one after another, without any slack.

This also leads to serious physical energy consumption of players.

"Many players have problems with their physical fitness." Ronald Koeman's assistant coach observed the players' situation and walked back to the coaching area to report the situation to Ronald Koeman.

Ronald Koeman looked serious because he found that Manchester United was more difficult than he thought. Although Southampton escaped in the first half, he paid a considerable price. The large amount of physical energy consumed by the player was only one of them. The worse news was that the starting center back Oddwild, who left the court in the 21st minute of the first half, forced Ronald Koeman to make a passive substitution. In the next game, he had already played one card in his hand.

The assistant coach said with helplessness, and a little angry: "The consumption speed is faster than expected, and we can't control the rhythm at all, and it's simply a war of attrition!"

From the perspective of attrition, Southampton is in a disadvantaged position. Because Southampton is just a small team, it is much worse than Manchester United in terms of bench thickness, and they do not have many powerful substitutes.

More importantly, now is the late stage of the Christmas Devil schedule. The physical fitness stored by the players is almost gone after twenty rounds of league and league cup games.

But this is a six-point game, so it is known that it is a war of attrition, but Ronald Koeman has to push his head out.

"How long can it last?" Ronald Coman asked with a cold face.

"Sustaining for up to twenty minutes in the second half will cause problems if there are too many." The assistant coach made a prediction.

Ronald Koeman closed his eyes and said nothing, but anyone could tell that he was distressed.

The situation on the field is now very stalemate. Neither side has been able to break this deadlock and is unwilling to make adjustments and changes casually.

"Or, we'll hold a draw?" the assistant suggested.

……………………

At the same time, in the home team's locker room, the players were also gasping for breath, but the atmosphere was very different. Because they knew that as long as they won this game, in addition to the various bonuses offered by the team, they could also get at least 500,000 pounds of extra money. Therefore, the players all seemed very excited, excited and full of fighting spirit.

Head coach Louis Van Gaal walked out at this time and carried a tactical drawing board with him.
