Chapter 26: Coming off the bench
[NOTE- Schedule has changed from 7chap./week to 5chap./week]
Manchester United's strength is indeed a lot stronger than Everton, plus the home advantage, not to mention Moyes had developed a defensive counterattack tactic.
Even if Moyes wants his team to play aggressively against Manchester United, it is estimated that he will be beaten by Man United players.
Although Keane is not on the court, Manchester United have launched attacks through their two wingers. Ronaldo and Saha, who have very strong offensive capabilities.
Together with Scholes' in the middle, Everton's midfield didn't have any ways to parry.
But Everton began its defense, and naturally, it was fruitful.
Although Manchester United attacked fiercely, under Everton's defensive posture, even if they had the advantage, they didn't have a way to create it into a real threat.
In the first 20 minutes, Manchester United's most threatening offense was Scholes' long shot that went near the front of the penalty area, but unfortunately the shot was slightly off.
Everton's tenaciousness was completely beyond Ferguson's expectations. Last season, his Scottish fellow Moyes did a good job and led Everton out of the relegation zone successfully.
At that time, Moyes had entered Ferguson's sights.
Today Everton's performance surprised Ferguson even more.
Even though Manchester United is not as strong as it used to be, at Old Trafford, there aren't many teams that can withstand such a strong offensive from Manchester United, especially teams like Everton, which is a relegation team.
Of course, Ferguson will not be too worried. Everton does not even have the ability to counterattack, and it is difficult to win the game by defense alone.
Vardy was sitting on the bench, watching his teammates play defensively, hoping that he could rush to the court and fight with his teammates.
Sitting on the bench was really hard.
"Young man, be patient, don't worry; it is not easy to face Manchester United's full-field defense?"
Perhaps seeing the restless posture in Vardy, substitute goalkeeper Wright said to Vardy in a tone of comfort.
Vardy nodded silently.
He knew the helplessness of a defensive counterattack team.
On the court, they will be crushed by opponents in the backcourt.
It took much patience to persist, and find a chance to fight.
Everton make it into the Champions League with this defensive counterattack!
Later, the living myth, Leicester City, won the Premier League by relying on a defensive counterattack!
At the end of the first half, although Manchester United were on full offensive, they still failed to break in Everton's goal.
The Red Devils fans in the stands were very excited.
In their view, Manchester United was at an obvious advantage.
The goal will come sooner or later.
Everton could only tremble under Manchester United's attack, then left Old Trafford with a failure.
Vardy did not enter the locker room.
When the main player returned to the locker room to listen to Moyes' tactical arrangements. He and several other bench players had to warm up around the court to prepare for coming off the bench anytime.
He was a little distracted when he was warmed up.
Although he successfully entered the big list, he did not know if he had a chance to play in this game, which is really a torment.
If Moyes only wants to draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford; he has little hope of playing, as his defensive ability is limited, and he is not fully integrated into the team's tactical system.
Moyes will not let himself play unless he is crazy.
Even if there are players who are in poor physical condition, but they are the midfielders and defenders on the bench.
Thinking of this, Vardy couldn't help but get frustrated.
...
After the start of the second half, Everton still played in a perverse manner, as all of the players shrank to the midfield, and backcourt for defense, for which Manchester United made targeted adjustments for Alan Smith, who has a large range of activities and is Everton's main strength.
They tried to create more space for Ronaldo and Saha and succeeded.
Manchester United's offense almost defeated Everton's defense.
Finally, Ronaldo's shot from outside the penalty area hit everyone with excitement and remorse.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who wasted the opportunity to break into the goalpost, hugged his head, regretfully, venting his depression.
If Manchester United failed to win this game, then Ronaldo who wasted
An unexpected thing happened.
After the assistant coach called back the players warming up, he called Vardy to his side alone and gave him some ideas.
"Stay near the midfield, after playing for a while, force Kleberson as much as possible during the defense. If you have a chance to fight back, you must give full play to your advantage. This is our last chance!"
Vardy still couldn't believe it.
He didn't listen to the assistant coach at all, but nodded subconsciously.
Even if he didn't understand anything, he knew he was going to play.
At this time, there was simply no time to think about why Moyes had to replace himself.
Taking advantage of the chance of a dead ball, the fourth official had already raised a sign to signal a substitution.
Replaced by Vardy is forward McFadden.
Because of his height, Ferguson has always had him defend with the high-altitude ball in his penalty area.
It seems that the only thing that has no obvious effect on the court is McFadden.
When he walked off the court, the young striker's expression was very frustrating.
In this game, he had no room to play at all.
It was like he was sleepwalking on the field.
Now that he is replaced, it may mean that he will not get any opening chances.
After clapping hands reluctantly with Vardy, McFadden walked off the field, and Vardy stepped onto the court for the first time.
'Come on, this is the stage I have been looking forward to!'
'Let the whole world watch my performance!'
At this moment, Vardy opened his hands as if he could embrace the whole world!
