Chapter 203: 1 to 1

Beep!

With a whistle from referee Martin Atkinson, Carvajal tackled a foul when facing Nani's one-on-one defense on the right, and the whole Wembley Stadium was once again fried.

"After the start of the second half, Southampton played obviously more aggressively. They were obviously more proactive and more desperate in some contestable and indisputable opportunities!"

After seeing the referee whistle, the TV commentator commented and analyzed the trend in the second half.

Martin Atkinson called Carvajal over.

"This is about to pay the card!"

There was an uproar in the stands, cheering and boos.

Obviously, the fans of Manchester United felt that the card was given well, but the fans of Southampton felt that this action would not be enough.

"The referee is a warning to the Southampton players. Carvajal's performance is still very good. He defended Nani well. The Portuguese winger has hardly made a breakthrough from his side."

Sure enough, Atkinson held up a yellow card towards Carvajal.

"In the 53rd minute of the second half, Southampton was one goal behind, and also got the fourth yellow card of the game. It was also the third yellow card in the Saints team. The other was given to Manchester United's Carrick. ."

"Now Carvajal has to be careful. Manchester United is clearly targeting the left. He has a yellow card again and has to stop."

The TV narrator's words only appeared on live TV, but at the scene, everyone could only hear the voice of the fans.

In the royal box, Abramovich laughed as soon as he saw Atkinson hand out the card.

"It's a pity, I just gave a yellow card. According to me, it should be a red card!"

Continuing to follow the two teams' play in the second half, Southampton could not see much hope at all.

At best, it can be said that Southampton fought harder and grabbed harder.

But the question is, this is only playing a war of attrition, what effect can it achieve?

Yang Huan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He didn't want to see Abramovich's triumphant posture after winning.

At exactly this time, sitting on the bench in Southampton, the Spanish midfielder Isco walked out and ran to warm up quickly, which attracted the attention of Yang Huan in the stands.

Is this going to be on the bench? Or is it just a normal warm-up?

Generally, players on the bench will take the initiative to warm up at regular intervals to ensure that their bodies can adapt to the rhythm on the court as soon as possible.

"Time is almost!" Wilkinson said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Prince William asked, turning his head.

Until now, the people in the royal box have been attracted.

The most important thing is because of this big bet between Yang Huan and Abramovich.

The eight-figure pound bet is no joke.

"The combination of Scholes and Carrick can't play a war of attrition, and they don't have enough coverage in the area. Bielsa further strengthened the force of pressing and oppression in the second half, playing a war of attrition, the purpose is to replace.

Such an explanation is not without reason.

After all, even if it changes now, there are still more than 30 minutes of the game, and a lot of time is left for Southampton.

As long as a goal is scored, the game enters the overtime period. Southampton's players are younger and have a certain advantage in physical fitness.

"Who do you think will be replaced?" Prince William asked.

"Vidal!" Although Wilkinson was guessing, he was confident.

Replaced Vidal with Isco, letting Isco and Adam Lallana, the two skilled players partner, together with Stromman behind him, resolutely continue to strengthen the offensive and passing threats.

To some extent, Isco's playing can relieve Adam Lallana's pressure.

Yang Huan shook his head, "I don't think so."

"Why?" Wilkinson asked instead.

Yang Huan smiled and said, "I don't know, a feeling."

At this moment, Isco, who was warming up on the sidelines, immediately returned to the coach Bielsa after running a lap.

Bielsa, who was squatting on the ground, stood up, pointed to the court, and asked Isco.

Soon, the fourth official on the sidelines raised the number plate.

Isco replaced the captain Adam Lallana!

"Swap Adam? Lallana?" Wilkinson was obviously confused by this substitution.

Adam Lallana's ability to take and play the ball at the front of the penalty area is very threatening, so why did he change it?

And his performance in this game is not bad, at least better than Vidal.

However, as soon as the captain of the Saints saw the number plate, he immediately walked to Ibrahimovic, and after handing him the captain's armband, he said again, asking him to lead his teammates to cheer, and then ran to the sidelines to follow Iss After Ke hugged, he walked out of the court.

After Isco went on the field, he did not go forward and appeared in Adam Lallana's midfielder position, but walked towards the midfield, came to Vidal, and said something to the Chilean midfielder.

In the end, it turned out that Vidal went forward and appeared in the midfield, near the midfielder.

Isco, who made his technique, dribbling and passing ability better, dragged him back, but pushed Vidal forward?

"I don't understand, I really don't understand!" Wilkinson kept shaking his head.

Bielsa is very risky, especially his trust in Vidal, who performed poorly in this game.

The bet was won, and everyone said he was a coup.

But if the bet loses, everyone will say that he is nepotism.

"Does he intend to use Vidal to further consume Scholes and Carrick? It's like Rooney's match-up harassment of Stroman in the first half?" Wilkinson frowned and guessed.

However, what is the use of Vidal, has not yet manifested, Isco, who came on the bench, has won a chance to show his face.

"Southampton's counterattack after stealing, Stromman passed to Chamberlain."

"Chamberlain pulled to the center to catch the ball, trying to break through, but Scholes got stuck."

Seeing that Chamberlain couldn't pass and break through, he immediately turned around, turned his back to Scholes, and protected the ball.

Seeing Isco quickly plugged into the right wing from behind, Chamberlain immediately passed the ball.

"Isco, facing Evra, with Nani behind him, a kick..."

"...Good shot! Pick again! Over Evra..."

After being caught between the two players, Isco picked Evra and immediately turned around, blocking Evra behind him.

"The chest stops, it's beautiful, and then pick it... it's behind Evra..."

"It's over, it's wonderful, Isco!"

As soon as the small Isco saw the ball passed Evra, he turned around and quickly caught up.

Evra also wanted to turn around, but he was a bit slow after all.

Isco grabbed the ball before everyone else, one trip!

"It's over, it's over!"

The whole picture is aimed at Isco!

No one thought that although the young general was placed behind him, he suddenly jumped forward, and he was inserted so resolutely.

More importantly, he just made a breakthrough when facing two double-team players in a very narrow range on the wing.

What will he do next?

Countless fans looked at him nervously, and even many fans in the stands were too excited to stand up.

"...Passing..."

The ball crossed an arc and fell into the penalty area.

Vidal quickly rushed up from outside the penalty area, leaping high to face the ball.

But the tall Vidic suddenly appeared, before him, the header passed the kick out of the penalty area.

The whole Wembley Stadium made a hum, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

There are also regrets from Southampton fans.

Who could have imagined that the Spanish teenager made a threat when he first touched the ball?

"Isco, this player has very fine skills at his feet, but a bit sticky."

Wilkinson feels that Isco belongs to the kind of player who is very impressive.

But if the ball was passed earlier and lowered and faster, the ball would basically be there!

"Arrangement of Vidal at the front of the penalty area seems to have to show his ability to score in the post."

Although the threat caused by the first touch of the ball failed to score, Isco has become more and more active.

After more than a minute, I got another chance to get the ball in the middle circle.

Vidal withdrew from the defense, stealing the ball and passing it to Stroman, who touched the ball to Isco.

Isco stopped the ball, turned, and started in one go.

After bringing forward for a while, suddenly a through ball with his right foot.

The ball passes between Vidic and Evra.

The right winger Chamberlain started quickly, urging him to go as fast as he could, and went straight behind Evra.

In the middle, Ibrahimovic also rushed forward quickly, ready to meet Chamberlain.

Evra and Chamberlain struggled for speed on the wing, but as soon as they started, Chamberlain's speed was beyond Evra's expectations.

After all, the England teenager has Jamaican ancestry. When he sprints, he can't stop the speed.

Evra didn't even have time to foul.

Just watched Chamberlain rush forward quickly, stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and adjusted quickly.

At this time, Ibrahimovic has rushed into the penalty area.

Only a few tenths of a second gave Chamberlain a reaction.

The England teenager raised his head, and in the penalty zone, Ibrahimovic was flanked by Vidic and Ferdinand.

Now it is difficult to have a chance.

Chamberlain chose to bring it himself!

The England teenager was fat and fierce enough to drive the ball directly into the penalty area.

Scholes and Evra both retreated, and the two of them tacitly wanted to clamp Chamberlain one after another.

To pass!

To pass!

If you don't pass it, you will be gone!

Everyone at the scene had such an idea.

Chamberlain also knew that it was going to be passed, but the question was, to whom?

Just when he was at a loss, a red figure swept across the corner of his left eye, and then a voice came from a person, "Give it to me!"

Who is this person anyway?

He is not clear.

The only thing I can be sure of is that the voice is quite familiar, it's my own.

So he passed it!

At the moment when Scholes and Evra were about to complete the double-team, Chamberlain passed the ball from Scholes's side.

After the transmission, he raised his head and looked forward.

"Vidal!!!"

Vidal, who just completed a steal in the backcourt just now, has already rushed into Manchester United's penalty area!

As soon as Vidal rushed up, facing Chamberlain's pass, every step he stepped on was very steady and very heavy.

Because each step will be related to a series of actions that follow him.

The left foot meets the ball coming from the right side and the ball bounces to the right.

Vidal quickly changed his center of gravity, stepped on his left foot firmly, and raised his right foot.

At this time, the ball was just within the volley range of his right foot.

He did not hesitate, facing the ball, a vigorous volley with his right foot!

The ball passed over Vidic's long stretched right leg like a cannonball.

Goalkeeper Van der Sar flew to save, trying to get the ball out~lightnovelpub.net~ But the ball got into the goal line at a very fast speed between his extended arm and the goal post. Hit the net.

Vidal was stunned!

The players in Southampton were also stunned!

Everyone at the scene was stunned!

This goal, just like that?

Yes, the ball, just scored!

The referee Martin Atkinson's effective whistle for the goal caused a burst of crazy cheers in the deadly silent Wembley Stadium.

All the Southampton fans reacted at this time and shouted hoarsely.

All the Southampton players rushed up in a swarm, hugged Vidal, and surrounded him.

One to one, Southampton tied the score! ()
