Football nukes: a pound buys a club

Chapter 241

Zhang Chong was completely speechless on the sidelines. This time, he almost announced the end of his road to the League Cup.

One to one and two to zero, separated by a thin line, football is so exciting sometimes.

After achieving a [-]-[-] lead, Manchester United also began a strategic recovery, obviously satisfied with this score.

Although Bury has regained control of the ball, they seem to have no good way to deal with Manchester United's defense with one less player.

In the next ten minutes, Bury did not create any threatening attacks, and the final score of the two sides was also fixed at [-]-[-]. Manchester United won at home!

The old Sir Alex Ferguson in the stands also applauded happily. The victory of this game allowed them to step into the final with one foot!

And because Bury had eliminated Liverpool and Chelsea one after another before, and Manchester City fell to the third round, the semi-finals on the other side were Aston Villa and Southampton.

In other words, the semi-finals on this side are almost the finals staged in advance, and the championship can almost be locked after Bury!

After the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United experienced several years of turmoil, and finally won several championships in the hands of Mourinho.

The old man looked through the crowd and looked at the white-haired Portuguese, his eyes filled with too many emotions.

Zhang Chong warmly hugged the Portuguese and congratulated him on his beautiful victory.

The Portuguese smiled: "This is just my present, and you have an unlimited future."

Zhang Chong is still thinking about this sentence carefully, the Portuguese has already gone far.

The impact of this game on Bury is not only a loss, but Maguire will also be suspended in the next Premier League away game against Liverpool because of his straight red.

Zhang Chong's whole body is not well, and he suddenly felt that Maguire should be added to clean the toilet for a week.

After two days of rest in Bury, the Bury team set off for Liverpool.

After Liverpool got Van Dijk, they won the last two games.

It can also be clearly seen from the game that Van Dijk has raised Liverpool's defense by more than one level.

Zhang Chong couldn't help but frowned. This game will definitely be more difficult than the previous ones.

At the pre-match press conference, Liverpool, which has performed very well recently, immediately made Klopp stand up. He bluntly said that Liverpool's only goal in this game is to win!

Zhang Chong kept a low profile and did not clearly express his expectations for this game.

This also seems to have caught many of the media's loopholes. They thought it was Zhang Chong's lack of confidence in this game!

In fact, before this game, Bury had a lot of difficulties.

First of all, the absence of Maguire and Antoine Hill made them lack a general in tandem.

Secondly, because the last game against Manchester United was in a state of ten to eleven for a long time, many players who played the whole game in the last game were very physically exhausted, and their physical condition before the game was not very ideal.

In the end, after Liverpool got Van Dijk and sold Coutinho, the whole team took on a new look, and Bury just lost a game aggrievedly, and their morale is definitely not as good as Liverpool.

This also made Zhang Chong lower his expectations for this game.

In this game, Zhang Chong made the starting lineup of Mendy, Mazraoui, Shik, John Fox, Robertson, Kanter, Madison, Messias, Bowen, Mbappe and Harland.

Although it is a half-rotation lineup, his tactics are not conservative.

An away game against Liverpool, if they take the initiative completely, then their own team may not be able to make it through halftime.

So his tactical thinking is very clear, chasing and kicking their flanks!

Their two full-backs are the weak point of their lineup. The left-back Robertson who should have been in their lineup is now in his bowl, and Arnold's defense on the right is free, so Zhang Chong believes that the winner of this game The negative hand is whether Mbappe and Bowen can overthrow their two full-backs.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

With Van Dijk behind him, Klopp filled the rhythm of the game from the beginning and began to press Bury frantically.

He just wants to use the impact and pressure of his frontcourt to bring the game to his own rhythm!

But Zhang Chong has also been prepared for a long time. Bury gave up too much transmission in the midfield and backcourt in this game. Once he got the ball, he moved to the two sides as much as possible!

The two teams did not make any tentative moves, so the pace was very fast. In the first 10 minutes of the game, the two sides exchanged the ball many times, but neither created any threatening offense.

No. In the 13th minute, Bowen got the football in the frontcourt, first made an inward cut, which attracted Milner to take two steps inward, and then directly changed direction and walked towards the bottom line!

But Milner has a lot of defensive experience, he has already made preparations, and quickly adjusted his focus to follow up.

Bowen made a gesture to make a pass, and Milner also subconsciously stretched his foot to block it. Unexpectedly, this was another fake move. Bowen dunked the ball and cut into the penalty area!

But in front of him stood Van Dyke!

He didn't make any moves, but Bowen had the feeling that no matter what he did, he would be predicted immediately.

Although they had fought against each other when he was in Southampton, but when he was in Southampton, the comrades around Van Dijk were almost meaningless, which made him feel less oppressed than he is now.

Bowen also kept Zhang Chong's confession in mind, don't forcefully break through Van Dijk, his single defense ability is very strong.

So he directly chose a small arc with his left foot to pass into the penalty area.

Harland was watched by Matip at this time. Although this central defender with a height of more than 1.9 meters looks very thin, his physical confrontation is not weak at all!

The two took off at the same time, and Matip headed the ball first.

But the ball fell to the right outside the penalty area. Mbappe stopped the ball just before Arnold!

He observed the positions of the players in the penalty area, decisively chose to adjust his footsteps, and prepared to take a long shot!

Arnold on the side judged his intentions, and took advantage of the time when he adjusted his steps, he stretched out his feet and put the shovel!

Mbappe didn't expect that he would put the shovel directly, and he was caught off guard and was brought down even with the ball!

The referee immediately blew his whistle, ran over, and took out a yellow card!

But Mbappe has never been able to stand up!

He clutched his ankle in pain and curled up on the grass!

Off the field, Zhang Chong's heart tightened, don't get hurt!

But the fact was not as he wished, the team doctor came in, and after a simple inspection, he made a gesture of substitution.

Depend on!

Zhang Chong couldn't help but swear.

Maguire received a red card in the first half of the last game, and this game started with a combat reduction. Recently, he has been a little bit behind!
