Chapter 70. Heroes
At half-time, Kintiger told Phil Jones to continue to put pressure on Manchester City's attacking line in the second half.
Phil Jones waved his fist: "Boss, don't worry, as long as I'm on the court, I'll never let Manchester City players break through in front of me!"
Jin Taige was stunned when he heard this: "As long as you are on the court? I feel a little flustered when I hear this..."
"Boss, why are you flustered?" Phil Jones didn't understand what Kintag meant.
Jin Taige frowned and said: "Phil, you already have a yellow card on your body, I can rest assured that you are on the court, but if you get another yellow card, once you are sent off, you can no longer defend the Manchester City players. already."
"Oh, boss, I see, I'll try to be careful not to take any more cards."
"Phil, it's not a matter of trying, it's a matter of not being able to play cards anymore." Jintag repeatedly warned, "This is the home court of Manchester City. As long as we stabilize, we will definitely be able to find loopholes in Manchester City's defense."
The half-time break is almost over. The players of the two teams entered the tunnel with the instructions of their respective head coaches, preparing to start the second half of the game.
But just five minutes into the second half, Jin Tiger realized something was wrong. Manchester City's three attacking midfielders changed their short pass coordination in the first half. As long as these three got the ball, they recklessly moved in Jones' direction. Go, trying to break through Jones' defense. Jones shoveled Aguero and Navas to the ground twice in a row, causing Jin Taige to break out in a cold sweat.
Jin Taige couldn't sit still. He came to the sideline and took advantage of the dead ball to call Giggs to his side: "Look at Jones, don't let him play any more cards. According to his current posture, he is being It's a matter of time before you get punished!"
Giggs nodded: "Captain, I understand."
Giggs ran back to Jones and told Jones, "Watch out for dangerous moves, and don't take any more cards."
Jones agreed, and Giggs knew in his heart that Jones' style of play was like this, and it would be too difficult for him to change in a short period of time. Therefore, in order to fear that Jones would take another card, Giggs retreated slightly to help Jones defend and reduce his chance of taking a card.
"After the start of the second half, Manchester City's offensive became more intense," Raman's voice came from the TV again. "Just ten minutes into the second half, Manchester City already had three shots, and they were all very threatening."
"Nasri broke through Ryan Giggs' defense, he passed the ball to Aguero in the box, Aguero turned and pulled the ball in the box, Smalling was passed! Shot! Jones, it's Jones! He Flying to block Aguero's shot, Jones is a hero in the hearts of all Manchester United fans!"
The away fans applauded and applauded Jones' desperate performance to block the hole. Jones also waved to the fans and resolved a dangerous situation. Jones was very happy.
Jin Taige off the field was also scared into a cold sweat. He said in his heart that it was very dangerous. Fortunately, Jones chased back in time, so that Aguero would not score a goal. When Aguero shot just now, goalkeeper De Gea was completely blocked by his two central defenders, and he didn't have time to react. Fortunately, Jones returned to defense in time.
But Scholes on the side said: "It is because Jones always makes such desperate and dangerous moves that he is always injured."
Phelan next to him nodded, expressing his approval of Scholes' words.
Jin Taige's heart moved, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind...
He successfully rescued in front of the goal, Jones became the hero of the team for a time, and he was even more excited when he heard the applause and cheers of the home team's fans. Jones' performance today was the same as Kante's performance a few days ago. He can be seen in the entire backcourt. Such a continuous sweep made Manchester City complain.
At this time, Manchester City's midfielder Yaya Toure observed the situation on the field and found that the team could not break through Manchester United's defense now.
So Yaya Toure told Fernandinho, "I'm going up."
Fernandinho nodded: "The team needs your support, leave the defense to me, no problem."
Yaya Toure unknowingly wandered into Manchester United's frontcourt and participated in the attack. Ziggs found that Yaya Toure was coming, and he quickly directed the defense line to pay attention to Yaya Toure's advance.
Yaya Toure can be regarded as one of the top midfielders in the entire Premier League at present. Because of his physical strength, Yaya Toure often performed long-distance attacks last season. Yaya Toure inserted in the back row. His ability to instigate and instigate offense is unparalleled, and he also has a very powerful long-range shot.
Another attack by Manchester United was fruitless. Icardi was stared at by several defenders of Manchester City. There was no chance at all. Goalkeeper Joe Hart threw the ball to the midfielder Fernandinho not far away. Fernandinho looked up and saw that Yaya Toure was pushing forward at high speed, and he passed the ball directly to Yaya Toure. Yaya Toure went straight to Manchester United's penalty area after receiving the ball.
At this time, Manchester City's three attacking midfielders, Nasri, Aguero, and Navas, also hurriedly moved out of position, ready to receive Yaya Toure's pass. At this time, Jones wanted to go forward and break the ball at the feet of Yaya Toure, but as soon as he stepped forward, someone next to him said: "You go to mark other people, Yaya Toure gives it to me!"
As soon as the words fell, a figure quickly ran towards Yaya Toure. Jones saw that it was Giggs!
Jones thought, the captain must be afraid that I will take another card, so he went to grab it himself. In this case, I will quickly return to the defense and go to mark Aguero. Thinking of this, Jones ran in the direction of the penalty area, closely guarding Aguero.
Ziggs rushed towards Yaya Toure at the moment, and he was extremely anxious.
Manchester United has just finished an attack, and many players have not returned to the defensive position. Now Yaya Toure is dribbling the ball forward, which is a great threat to the team! Giggs has only one thought in his mind now: he must stop Yaya Toure from moving forward!
Yaya Toure saw that Giggs was coming towards him diagonally. He didn't stop, but continued to move forward. He thought to himself: If it was Giggs ten years ago, I would still be worried, but Now you're just a 39-year-old veteran, what can you do to me?
At this time, Ziggs was already close to Yaya Toure. He used his body to resist Yaya Toure, and wanted to win in the collision, but Yaya Toure's body was as strong as a big buffalo. It doesn't matter what happened to him, not only did Yaya Toure not get knocked down, but he almost fell.
Seeing that Yaya Toure was about to rush out of his defensive area, Giggs gritted his teeth at this time: Even at the risk of taking a card or being sent off, I will keep you in midfield!
