Chapter 78 Shao Jia 1 shines...

Five minutes before the end of the first half, Manchester United made another substitution.

Carl followed suit, he replaced Cheney with Russ Bender, and Sven Bender replaced Leporte.

The current substitution is just a prelude. In the second half, Manchester United and Munich 1860 are bound to carry out more rotations.

In an official game, there are only three substitutions for a team. It is rare that there is no upper limit for this friendly match. Whether it is Ferguson or Karl, they are all ready to have an addiction to substitutions here.Although Karl is more cautious than Ferguson, for the stability of the team, he is not going to do too many main rotations.

FIFA used to have no restrictions on substitutions in friendly matches, that is to say, you can change as many as you want. There is no problem with 11 players going through the whole round, as long as it is not a repetitive substitution.But later, FIFA issued new regulations, limiting the number of substitutions in A-level events to a maximum of 7—for example, the friendly match of the national team arranged by FIFA is an A-level event. Negative can affect the ranking of FIFA.

And like other commercial friendly matches, such as Manchester United's current warm-up match with Munich 1860, there is no limit on the number of substitutions.

It takes a lot of energy to organize such a warm-up match. First of all, the two clubs need to communicate and coordinate the time, place, tickets and other preparations. One of the teams must also fly to an unfamiliar city. After that, there will be not only competitions, but also a series of activities such as social networking and interviews.A club can travel to two places at most in one holiday, and arrange several friendly matches, because too many times will consume a lot of energy of the players and coaches, and if it is not slowed down by the start of the new season, it will be self-defeating up.

Therefore, if it is not for commercial development (such as going to the United States to develop the market, or Asian sponsors specially fund invitations, etc.), or if the friendship is excellent, the wealthy clubs will not take the olive branch thrown by those small and medium-sized teams.

After the two teams made substitutions, the remaining time of the first half was almost consumed. After a few meaningless passes, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

The current score is 1:3, with the home team at the front and the visiting team at the back.

……

During the half-time break, apart from giving necessary tactical explanations, Karl didn't say a lot of things to the players.

He believes that once some words get into his heart, there is no need to repeat them over and over again, so he simply encouraged the players: "You guys did a good job in the first half, and you didn't collapse in the face of Manchester United's strong attack. Ball, although I know that you can definitely do it, but I was surprised by how fast and beautifully you did it."

The players looked at the coach with confident and proud smiles on their faces.

"No matter how many people Manchester United changed in the second half, no matter what their attitude is, you have to play it as the most important game, make your own reputation, and let foreign fans know that there is another bad team in Munich. Mess with the team!"

The rest time of just ten minutes passed by, and Karl stood by the door, watching his players return to the field full of energy.

When Shao Jiayi walked past him, Karl called him, looked him up, and said with a smile: "Your fighting spirit seems to be stronger."

Shao Jiayi feared that he would be substituted in the second half, so he hurriedly said, "Boss, I think my energy is better than ever! Don't talk about the half game, even if there is another main game, I can still play!"

"I'll let you play another 90 minutes, and I'll have to send someone to lift you off the field." After making a joke, seeing Shao Jiayi's nervous expression, Karl withdrew his smile, nodded seriously, and said, "As long as you can perform As always, I'm not going to take you off the field."

Shao Jia nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

……

After the start of the second half, [-] Munich played more tenaciously.

Although the difference in the level of the two teams can still be seen, their fighting spirit is evenly matched.

The Manchester United players also played cautiously at this moment. They slowed down their rhythm and stopped attacking with big feet whenever they got a chance, because they realized that today's opponents are not weak sheep, and there are very few small teams. After encountering Manchester United and falling behind by a large score, he still showed such resilience.

Bavarian radio commentator Gayner gradually tasted something different: "The football style of Manchester United and Munich [-] is somewhat similar. Judging from their performance on the field, they did not blindly pursue a gorgeous and smooth attack, nor did they defend completely. When attacking wildly and bustling, the time is not long, and the transition between offense and defense is also very fast."

"It is well known that Sir Alex Ferguson's coaching style is a balance of offense and defense, but looking back at the past half of the season of [-] Munich, it was also a sharp offense, a solid defense, and full of pragmatism."

"Perhaps it is because of the similar style that [-] Munich encountered difficulties again and again at the beginning of the game. After all, in terms of this set of offensive and defensive tactics, the immature Lions are definitely not as good as the seasoned Red Devils. But I am very happy. Looking forward, after Munich [-] has fully developed, if these two teams meet again, will there be even more dazzling sparks?"

Just when Gaynor was commenting on the styles of the two teams, and even unknowingly talked about the playing style of other teams, there was a sudden change on the court!

In the [-]th minute of the game, using Smith's cross from the left, Giggs flew the header from the front court, Ronaldo jumped high, leaned on Johnson's relay with his body, and headed directly to the goal!

It's a pity that the angle of the header was too high, and it hit the goal post hard and bounced back.

While Munich [-] defender Johnson and others breathed a sigh of relief, Van Nistelrooy suddenly appeared in the penalty area and scored a goal with a supplementary shot!

[-]:[-]!Manchester United's massacre is still going on!

Seeing this, Karl sighed slightly in his heart, but he was also convinced.

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see the gap between the two teams, [-] Munich also scored a goal today, which is better than eating a duck egg. Now I hope his players can finish the game with high morale The game, and then they go back to sum up the experience and lessons... If there is a chance to fight Manchester United again in the future, the score will definitely be rewritten!

At this moment, Ferguson made another substitution: Pique replaced Heinze.

Carl moved his lips expressionlessly: "Substitution again? The agreed-upon main force."

"I didn't see that I didn't replace any of my core players!" Ferguson raised his eyelids: "These players are also the main players who are steady and steady in terms of strength, but they are usually rotated a lot and rarely play the whole game. It's rare now. If there is a chance, I can't let them play to relax?"

Carl calculated the thickness of the benches of the two teams, but in the end he did not follow Ferguson in the substitution, but he thought to himself: When the bench of Munich [-] is full of world-class substitute stars, he will also be in the game. Huge substitutions in friendly matches!Change a group in one go! [-] full rounds!

……

In the [-]th minute, the score was still [-]:[-].

Karl watched the situation on the field and felt that Manchester United's new No. [-] Pique seemed to be a breakthrough point-the young Pique came from the La Masia youth training camp and transferred to Manchester United last year. Ferguson is quite valued, but because Pique has not been well integrated into the Manchester United system, the number of starting games has gradually decreased, and he often plays as a substitute.

Because of this, although there is no problem with Manchester United's defense on the field, after careful study, it is a bit more uncoordinated than before.

I don't know if they can see it...do you want to mention it?

While thinking this way, Karl suddenly saw Shao Jiayi get the ball again near the middle circle.

The Manchester United players were in full swing at the moment. They watched Shao Jiayi, who was holding the ball, and were always planning to fight for it. Unknowingly, they slowly pushed into the half of Munich [-].

It seems that there is a gap in the defense line?

Not only Karl saw this, Shao Jiayi also saw it!

He decisively speeded up and dribbled the ball straight into Manchester United's half!

Pu Zhixing and others chased after him, slowly forming an encirclement trend.

If Shao Jiayi sticks to the ball a little bit more, he will soon fall into the encirclement, but Shao Jiayi is very smart and calm at this moment. When he saw Ferdinand appearing within two or three meters in front of him, he quickly raised his head and swept away. , and pump vigorously towards the football!

The football flew obliquely for dozens of meters and landed at the feet of Özil who was plugging in from the right!

Ozil took the opportunity to break into the penalty area!

Ferdinand and other players who had already run towards the midfield quickly turned around and chased them back.

Shao Jiayi and Portillo quickly followed up from the center and left respectively, ready to meet Ozil at any time.Seeing this, the other Manchester United players quickly returned to the defense. Several of them were very afraid of Portillo's effort to grab points, so they separated two people to follow behind him.

Ozil relied on his speed to dribble the ball past Neville, who was sliding on the left, but in the face of Pique's front-on press, he could not be sure that it would be perfect again, so he adjusted his posture and grabbed the Pique. Ke raised his foot before approaching, but instead of shooting directly, he blasted the ball directly into the middle of the penalty area!

Shao Jiayi will run to the football landing point!

He first stopped the ball with his chest, then lifted his foot directly, aimed the instep at the middle and lower part of the football, and volleyed violently!

The football flew fast and anxiously, and shot between the two goalposts like a sharp sword!

"Shao Jia, Shao Jia, Shao Jiayi!" CCTV commentator Huang Jianxiang was so excited that he forgot all the compliments he had planned, and only remembered to call Shao Jiayi's name.

But who is Huang Jianxiang?That's CCTV's leading actress, even if he doesn't use his brain, he can move his tongue faster than others: "Go in, go in, go in! Shao Jiayi has finally made a contribution to the team! My God, long live football! He single-handedly led the attack! If I cry now, everyone must forgive me...Facing such a powerful Manchester United with an assist and a goal, I can't believe that this thing really happened in front of my eyes! There are Wayne Rooney on the opposite side of him Ronaldo, Smith, Ferdinand, Neville, Van Nistelrooy, Giggs and Ferguson standing beside the stadium!...Shao Jiayi, are you really a Chinese player? Are you really a native of Beijing? For this goal, everyone please cheer Call him by name... Shao Jiayi Shao Jiayi Shao Jiayi! Your performance tonight was world-class!"

The head of the director in the live broadcast room was almost covered with black lines. He really wanted to slap the opponent hard on the head and ask, "Shao Jiayi, are you really a Chinese player? Are you really a native of Beijing?" ?"What exactly does that mean!

However, the Chinese fans became excited together with Huang Jianxiang at the same time: "Good job Shao Jiayi! Do a good job in the Bundesliga, and we must not be timid against the giants!" Ten minutes ago, they were still cheering for Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo's goals. The fans turned their backs in an instant, and even the most loyal Red Devils fans wished that Shao Jiayi would be possessed by Maradona's soul at this moment, so that he could play a few more goals.

……

"Maybe Munich [-] will eventually lose with a score of [-]:[-], or concede more goals, but even so, I don't think they are losers." Gaynor praised a lot in his words: "Facing the main force, try your best. Against the extremely powerful Red Devils Manchester United, they managed to pull back two goals tenaciously! These two goals were won not by any subtle technique, but by will!"

"Munich [-] showed the pure German football spirit in the game-iron blood, hard work, and never admit defeat! No matter how strong the opponent is, they must seize any opportunity to make a comeback! Karl Oston is worthy of being the German marshal. Representative, he transformed this team with the spirit in his bones and made them very tenacious!"

When Shao Jiayi was surrounded by his teammates to celebrate, Karl gave Ozil a thumbs up.

The player who scores the goal always gets attention, the player who assists gets much less.But a goal has to go through many passes before it is shot in the net, not that the finishing touch is the most important - no striker is there if there are no other players on the pitch to do all the dirty work brilliant performance?

Since Ozil joined Munich 1860, he has provided many assists for the team. Even if others ignore him, Karl cannot ignore him.

He deserves a word of praise.

Sure enough, after Carl made such a move, Ozil's eyes lit up, and he immediately showed his signature slightly shy smile.

The head coach did not forget himself at such an important moment, and was the first to make a gesture of praise to himself. Ozil was very happy.

……

The final score was fixed at [-]:[-].

Rooney scored the final goal of the game with 3 minutes left.

Munich [-] can be said to be a fiasco today, but they also gained a lot.

After the referee blew the whistle, the players of the two teams did not leave the court immediately. They stood on the lawn shaking hands, talking and exchanging jerseys.

Ferguson stared at the field for a while, and suddenly pointed at Portillo: "Sell this kid to me." He became interested in talents.

Although the best performance of Munich 1860 today is Shao Jiayi, who passes and shoots, but in the midfield, the most threatening is the increasingly excellent Portillo. With several Manchester United defenders in check, the two goals of Munich 1860 will not come so easily.

"Not for sale." Carl flatly refused: "Javier will definitely be a substitute when he arrives in Manchester. With Ruud and Cris there, I don't know when it will be his turn to be the main force. Although the Premier League environment is better, it can also develop. You also cherish him more than I do because he has more commercial value, and you know how to train those talented players, but I want him to be the main force here honestly."

Ferguson pointed out sharply: "You can't keep him by your side forever."

"Even if you want to leave, you have to wait until his wings are completely stiff, and he won't fall from the air again." Carl smiled calmly: "Now, even if you want to buy it, Javier may not necessarily leave. He is in Real Madrid. He knows what it's like in the locker room of a giant, and he will judge what kind of team is better for his development."

Ferguson was deeply surprised: "You actually talked about this with your players?"

"No, I haven't talked to Javier about these things, it's all my own judgment." Carl shook his head and said.

"You also said that I love talents, don't you also have a feeling of licking the calf." Manchester United is not short of people, so after the proposal was rejected, Ferguson put the matter aside.

The two turned around and prepared to return to the locker room.

Ferguson was chewing tasteless gum and was about to talk to Carl. When his eyes passed over Karl's cheek, he suddenly asked in doubt, "Karl, where is the gum I gave you?"

Carl froze.

"Did you vomit during the game?" Ferguson pointed out: "When you vomit that stuff in the future, pay attention to the camera. If it is caught, there will be reporters scribbling on the newspaper after the game." Ferguson, who spit gum on the pitch or at referees, suffered from tabloid journalists and environmental defenders alike.

Facing Ferguson's kindness, Carl said weakly: "I swallowed it." He even forgot when he swallowed it.

After being taken aback for a moment, Ferguson burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, did you swallow it? How can you be so careless?!" He must tell Katie when he goes back, and she will laugh until her stomach hurts.

Many players passed by them and looked at Ferguson with strange expressions and laughed, but no one dared to step forward and ask Ferguson what he was laughing at.

"Did the boss tell him a joke?" Sven Bender guessed with his brother as he walked.
