Chapter 589 Southampton is growing too fast! Giggs is old!

The fans of Manchester United were full of bitterness and couldn't believe that the powerful Red Devils could be overtaken by a team of Southampton's level.

Manchester United played so hard.

This is more difficult than playing against Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and other teams, and even as difficult as playing against Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Ferguson couldn't figure out why Southampton was so strong.

In the previous FA Cup game, Ferguson could comfort himself that Manchester United did not send all the main players, and they still had the energy to play in the Premier League and Champions League finals, but now... there is no excuse.

Southampton is growing so fast.

Now, not only Ferguson is shocked, but even Southampton's coach Adkins is in a daze.

Before this game, his original strategy was the same as in the FA Cup, which was to defend with a bus, and then at the last moment, he used Gu Ran's physical strength, explosive speed and skills to create impossible miracles.

As a result, the game is only 62 minutes old, and Southampton has already relied on its offensive ability to reverse Manchester United!
Can I, Southampton, have the strength to compete successfully with Manchester United?

Coach Adkins really wants to slap himself in the mouth to see if this is the real world.

Similarly, at this moment, Van Dyke's eyes widened and his mouth opened in horror, his face full of disbelief.

Gu Ran's is called the Full Moon Scimitar. It's really incredible. It's simply not something that humans can kick out.

Van Dyke already admired Gu Ran, and now he admired Gu Ran even more.

Van Dyke also secretly made up his mind to be tied to Gu Ran for the rest of his life. No matter where Gu Ran went, Van Dyke would follow him.

Not only Van Dijk, but also Rudiger on the field, Mane, Sturridge and others on the bench all agreed with Van Dijk after seeing Gu Ran propose the fatal elevator full moon scimitar ball for the first time!
Gu Ran is the boss!

If you follow a big boss, what else can you do without trophies and bonuses?

Southampton's new players are all excited!

Southampton fans also cheered and celebrated wildly. The stands at Wembley Stadium were shaking slightly as the fans jumped. The sky above the stadium was filled with roars of "Chinese Dad".

The game continues.

Manchester United, which was one goal behind, became more impatient and their style of play became more one-dimensional.

After Manchester United players get the ball, they usually pass it to Giggs as soon as possible, and then Giggs breaks through with the ball or makes long-distance passes.

Giggs himself is the absolute core of the Manchester United team, so Manchester United's style of play is naturally normal and usually works wonders.

After all, Giggs is Mr. Big Scene and an underrated world-class winger.

But the problem is...

Giggs is old, really old.

Although Giggs's physical fitness is still sufficient and his confrontational ability is still strong, the energy of Class 92 has been worn away. As his teammates in Class 92 leave the team and retire, Giggs is now alone. status.

With Southampton's Gu Ran and Mikel's dual defensive midfielders, no one in the middle can give Giggs real support. In front of him are Luke Shaw, Rudiger, and Giggs. Even if Si can occasionally make wonderful breakthrough moves, he can't form the bottom cross like he did in his peak period.

To put it simply, Southampton restricted Giggs from two points: Gu Ran and Mikel. Neither Carrick nor Park Ji-sung could help Giggs.

The more eager Manchester United was to equalize the score, the more mistakes they made. In the 75th minute of the game, Carrick passed the ball in the middle and passed the ball to Giggs who started on the wing, but Henderson quickly retreated and accurately intercepted the ball with a sliding tackle.

Immediately afterwards, Henderson lay on the turf and poked the ball to Lallana. Lallana turned around to get the ball and then moved forward. Gu Ran sprinted at high speed to help Lallana attract firepower and provide support.

Lallana brought the ball to the front of the penalty area, picked it up with his toes, and passed Nani who came forward to press. Salah quickly inserted from the back row!
Nani quickly used his body to block Salah, but he couldn't block it at all, so Nani didn't stop doing anything and dived directly.

Unfortunately, Nani jumped into the wrong pool, which was his own restricted area.

However, Salah is still a little younger after all. Being disturbed by Nani, his mood was slightly affected. This time, his kicking shot was not decisive enough and he failed to fully exert his power.

Van der Sar fell to the ground and held the ball firmly in his arms.

If he had been even half a step slower, Gu Ran would have rushed up and fired a volley and succeeded.

Manchester United fans gave a false alarm, while Southampton fans couldn't help but sigh - such a good opportunity to expand the score was just missed.

If this goal can be scored, then Manchester United is basically out of business.

The game continues and the suspense remains.

In the 81st minute of the game, Rooney retreated anxiously to the midfield to get the ball, and then made a powerful long pass and pushed the ball straight into Southampton's penalty area.

The dashing Goberbatov, the Vampire Duke who had been invisible for almost 30 minutes, made a ghostly move in place. He quickly passed through the gap between Rudiger and Jaidi, controlled the ball with one step, and then directly kicked the ball far away. shoot!

This kick was so sudden and wonderful!
Rudiger and Jaidi simply couldn't guard against Berbatov with all his skills!

There is nothing goalkeeper Davis can do...

boom!
Berbatov's cold arrow was too angular, and the football hit the goal post hard and bounced off the baseline!
Southampton also escaped a bullet!
The game continues.

Time is running out for Manchester United.

Ferguson frowned and chewed the tasteless gum in his mouth, wishing he could go on the field and play.

In the 85th minute of the game, Park Ji-sung, who could not run, was replaced by Fletcher.

In this confrontation, Park Ji-sung was completely defeated. Neither he nor Carrick could block Gu Ran.

The physical fitness of both sides has reached a bottleneck period, and mistakes by both sides have increased frequently.

Head coach Adkins kept shouting on the sidelines, indicating to the players on the field to stop kicking and strengthen defense.

After all, there is not much time left in the game, and now Southampton is leading by one goal. In order to win the Community Shield trophy, it is better to play conservatively, not to mention that the opponent is Manchester United at its peak.

As a result, the Southampton team retreated across the board, and even Salah returned to the central midfielder position to help defend.

This is also Salah's most useful role - a defender-type center who can defend and steal.

Facing Southampton's iron barrel formation, Manchester United has no good solution at all.

The 90 minutes of regular game time ran out, the fourth official raised his card, and there was 5 minutes of additional time!
