Chapter 170: Arrogant defeat
After sweeping Blackburn 7:1 in the league, Manchester United took a huge victory over Yu Wei and went to London to play in the League Cup quarterfinals against West Ham United.
Originally, Ferguson used the League Cup as a young player to train the team and gave some marginal players a chance to play. However, at such a crucial moment as the quarterfinals, the lord also gradually paid attention to the League Cup.
Especially now that the Red Devils have locked in the Champions League group ahead of schedule, while leading the second and third places in the league by as much as 10 points, which made the Grand Lord have the idea of winning the League Cup.
After all, the League Cup final will be played at the end of February, when the Champions League knockout has just begun, so winning the League Cup will not add too much burden to the team's schedule.
Of course, this is also related to the weakness of Manchester United's opponents in the quarter-finals. Their quarter-final opponent is the Premier League deputy squad leader West Ham United, and the Hammer Gang has been in the position of the deputy squad leader for nine rounds since the 7th round of the league became the deputy squad leader!
Today, the hammer's record is only a pitiful 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses, only got 12 points. Manchester United is the first team in the Premier League, with an unbeaten record of 12 wins and 3 draws in 15 rounds, leading the Premier League with a 10-point advantage. Even, they have remained undefeated on all fronts this season, coupled with the 7:1 victory over Blackburn in the Premier League last weekend, Manchester United don't feel that the bottom hammer of the Premier League can pose any threat to them.
Such a relaxed and enjoyable promotion, of course, Grandpa will not let go. Therefore, at Upton Park Stadium, the Grandpa sent out a half-main and half-replacement lineup. Goalkeeper Kuzzac, four defenders O'Shea, Smalling, Evans, Fabio, four midfielders Obertan, Fletcher, Anderson and Giggs, double forwards are small pea Hernand The combination of Sri Lanka and teenager Macheda.
In the eyes of the old lord, this lineup is enough to win the weak hammer.
………………
The so-called arrogance will be defeated, and the Hammer Gang quickly gave the arrogant Manchester United a heavy blow!
In the 15th minute of the game, Spector made a cross from the left side of the penalty area. O'Bonnell took a shot from the middle and the ball touched Specte's calf and changed the line and knocked Kushchak into the net.
Although this goal was clearly flagged by the referee to indicate that Spekt was offside and was judged invalid, it did not attract the attention of the Manchester United.
The arrogant Manchester United player really paid the price after 7 minutes. In the 22nd minute of the game, Obanna took a pass from the left side of the penalty area. Speckt grabbed a header 7 meters before Fletcher to break through the former club city. .
The United who threw a goal first made a counterattack, but because the striker lacked the opportunity to grasp the opportunity, he was unable to tie the score. Instead, he was hit again after a quarter of an hour.
In the 37th minute of the game, Fabio was unable to make a clearance in the penalty area. When he was ready to start reprocessing, Spiket got the ball to the left and then scored twice with his left foot.
Two goals behind before the first half left many Manchester United players on the field panicked. Although they tried their best to counterattack and hope to get the score back before the halftime, but in the absence of organization in the midfield, time and time again The offensives returned without success.
In the first half of the game, West Ham led Manchester United 2-0 into the halftime break.
………………
Before the first half ended, Ferguson went back to the locker room with a sullen face. Before he left, he left an order for assistant coach Mike Ferran to make substitutions in the midfield.
When Bell received Ferguson's order from Mike Ferran, he was a bit stunned.
According to the original plan, Bell will get some playing opportunities after 60 minutes, or later, which is considered to be the state of the game, but now it seems that he will be replaced after the intermission, it seems that the lord He doesn't want Manchester United to end the journey in the League Cup.
Bell smiled bitterly, and the expectations of the old man were really high. He also felt great pressure, because he remembered that this game, Manchester United suffered the worst defeat this year, as the top team in the Premier League, they were eventually washed away by the Premier League deputy squad 4:0 on the road!
However, since the old man decided to replace him early, Bell will definitely go all out and strive to change the final situation of this.
After all, if he can win the League Cup, he can also get an extra star experience card when he draws next season.
………………
No one knows what happened in the visiting team's locker room during the intermission, but if you think about the power of the Lord's hair dryer, you can think of some.
And at the beginning of the second half, Bell was also put on the field. In the first half, like the sleepwalking teenager Machida, he was decisively taken by the old man.
In the capital of the east, Liu Xian'er took some reluctant Zhang Liangliang back to the television in the living room, and the voice of the occupying army was heard: "The two teams returned to the game. We saw West Ham United did not make substitution adjustments, but Manchester United made a substitution during the intermission and replaced the striker Macheda with Bell on the 95th."
"Mechda played poorly in the first half and wasted a lot of scoring opportunities in the frontcourt. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Ferguson probably realized this too, so he replaced him."
"Manchester United is still playing a four-two-two formation. Bell didn't appear in the left-wing position after he debuted, but appeared in the right-wing position. However, this has no effect. The Welsh teenager's left and right feet are very balanced, in the right-wing position. It also has a good performance."
"Manchester United fans in the stands were very excited when they saw Bell on the court. Many of them pulled out banners and shouted slogans and called Bell’s name. Although the 21-year-old teenager was only this season The transfer came to Manchester United, but it has brought too many surprises to Manchester United. I don’t know if he can bring another wonderful performance tonight."
………………
The two teams returned to the court and Manchester United took the lead.
The effect of Ferguson's operation of his hair dryer in the midfield is very obvious. Manchester United started to attack at the beginning of the second half, and less than a minute after the opening, Manchester United played an attack on the left.
Fabio quickly inserted to the left, after receiving Anderson's score, the left foot crossed, Pea Hernandez grabbed the header and ferried, and Obertan subsequently hit the penalty area by England's Green. Struggling to block.
After West Ham United got the ball, Manchester United immediately launched a counter-attack in the frontcourt. The rhythm played quickly, forcing West Ham United to send the ball out of the dangerous area as soon as possible. As a result, the ball was quickly changed hands.
One minute later, Manchester United made a comeback again. Fletcher scored the ball at the front of the penalty area and slammed into the penalty area. Green left the ball with his left foot and Manchester United missed the opportunity again.
