Chapter 237: Away

On October 2, 2013, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United tied the Donetsk Miners 1-1 away.
It was only a day's rest after returning home. In the afternoon of October 4th, Kintagel immediately led his players to rush to Sunderland, northeast England, to prepare to challenge their next league opponent, Sang, the next day. Deland.
Manchester United played a total of 3 games this week, and the next two are away games. Manchester United's players are already exhausted. From these two days of training, Kintag has found that the players are tired and lacking energy. .
Jintaige is preparing for a large-scale rotation this game to give the main lineup a better rest.
However, the good news is that Kanter has returned, which made Jintaige very happy. He repeatedly confirmed Kanter's injury. The team doctor told him that there was no problem. He then safely added Kanter to the starting list.
Today Manchester United sent several substitutes.
The standard 4-4-2 formation, the goalkeeper position Alisson starter, the back line exhausted a combination of Jones and Van Dyke, Alonso and Raphael separated left and right; midfielder Fletcher and Kagawa Shinji, left and right are Ashley Young and Valencia, the strikers are Icardi and Marshall.
Although Jintaige eliminated most of the substitutes in this game, because of his strong back line and Sunderland's strength is not strong, Jintaige is sure to completely freeze Sunderland's attack line.
The result of the final game was indeed what Jintaige thought. They frozen Sunderland's attack line and let Sunderland's attackers return empty-handed; but to the disappointment of Jintaige, although Sunderland did not score, but Manchester United have no great chances of scoring.
In this game, Sunderland played a defensive counterattack. No, to be precise, there was no counterattack at all. Most of the time in the game, Sunderland's 11 players were all deflated in their own half of defense, Manchester United players could not find any good opportunities.
Sunderland has already made up his mind. Facing the defending champion of the Premier League, being able to score 1 point at home is victory. Therefore, Sunderland ignored the huge boo of the fans and defended at home.
There are no big names in Sunderland, but one person has to mention that this is O'Shea.
O'Shea spent a glorious decade at Manchester United. Since joining the Red Devils in 1999, he has been loaned to Bournemouth and Antwerp for two consecutive years before returning to Manchester United. This stay is ten years. From 2001 to 2011, O'Shea witnessed the ups and downs of Manchester United and witnessed the growth of a generation of stars. Although he moved to Sunderland in 2011, O'Shea has always been the hero and veteran of Manchester United fans.
In the player channel, O'Shea looked at Manchester United's starting lineup, and his heart was filled with emotion. Now in this starting Manchester United lineup, with the exception of Rafael, Fletcher and Valencia, he is not familiar with the rest. Even these three are younger generations of their own, and have now grown into excellent players.
There are successors to Manchester United. O'Shea thought with emotion.
He has won 1 World Cup, 1 UEFA Champions League trophy, 5 league championship trophies, two FA Cups and three League Cups at Manchester United. Manchester United gave him the stage and honor, and he left all his best youth there. All the best memories of professional football in his heart are bright red. Those exciting games, those goals, those desperate defenses, the brothers who share the same shame.
O'Shea looked at the Manchester United starting players in the player channel, it seemed a little blurred, Neville Brothers, Keane, Scholes, Beckham, Fanny, those familiar figures, as if yesterday, as if on himself He was also wearing a bright red tabard, ready to fight for the red glory.
O'Shea was in a daze. At this moment a person came up to him and hugged him: "Brother, long time no see!"
O'Shea took a closer look: "Paul?"
It was Scholes who was embracing O'Shea. Scholes came to the player channel and came to see O'Shea. He looked at O'Shea in front of him, and was very emotional. Among the brothers of the Red Devils at that time, there is still little left to play on the court. He looked at O'Shea and said happily, "It's good to see you."
"Yeah, that's great," said O'Shea, looking behind him, "Ryan didn't start?"
Scholes nodded: "The last game was too fierce in the away game. This game they took a rest."
"How does the assistant coach feel?"
"Very good, but every time I ran out of the player channel, I still couldn't help but want to run on the field."
O'Shea was happy: "You retired and Ryan didn't play. This game is much better."
"We will definitely score three points here."
"Let's go and see."
When Scholes stepped out of the player channel, O'Shea slowly returned to his mind.
The two teams of players ran out of the player channel, O'Shea did not run into the field, but turned to the Manchester United bench. He hugged Giggs, Vidic, Evra, Rooney and so on, hugging these former brothers. Seeing that O'Shea could play a defensive core in Sunderland, a few of Giggs were also very happy.
Leaving Manchester United is the way O'Shea chose, and the brothers sincerely wish him all the best.
Don't look at the off-court, O'Shea and Manchester United's old man are close to each other; but after returning to the field ~ EbookFREE.me ~ O'Shea suddenly changed his appearance. When he faced Manchester United players, he showed no mercy, and when he stepped down, he seemed to be facing the enemy, handling the ball simply. O'Shea used his solid defense to block Manchester United's offense again and again.
At the end of the game, Manchester United's attack group has already tried their best. Two new players, Icardi and Marshall, struggled to find the chance of scoring in the last minute of the game. Ashley Young and Valencia of the road also played wonderfully, continuously threatening Sunderland's wing; Alonso and Rafael also frequently came forward to assist the attack. Although everyone worked hard, until the last minute of the game, Manchester United still could not break through the door of Sunderland.
The final score was set at 0 to 0. Sunderland's tactics were successful. They got the results they wanted. Manchester United regretted that they only took away 1 point away.
Two consecutive rounds of away games, Jin Taige did not get the desired results, he was a bit depressed, but this is the case in competitive sports, no one can always win.
After the game, Manchester United returned to Manchester overnight. On the bus home, Jintaige still had a hard time. He thought to himself: I can finally make time now and take care of the matter ... ()
