“It’s mainly Evans affecting Huntelaar. Don’t underestimate Evans just because he’s a young defender; lately, his partnership with Ferdinand has been impressive. Perhaps it’s the experience learned from his older teammate.”
“Ferguson is anxious again. This match is a trial for the veteran coach. His tactical goals are clear, but once on the sidelines, he can’t just tell the players to play casually. It’s exactly this kind of personality that has brought him success at Manchester United.”
Mata wants to throw in the ball from out of bounds.
“Pass me the ball, I’ll throw it.”
Ballack, running up, said.
Mata tosses the ball and steps away from the sideline.
Ballack wipes the ball a few times after getting it, his serious demeanor making Evra sense something unusual.
Evra quickly turns and shouts, “Watch out, guys, this guy might try to throw directly into the penalty area.”
“Got it, don’t worry, Patrick!”
Evans makes an OK gesture.
The papers have been praising him recently, and now he’s full of confidence.
Evra smiles and shakes his head.
Being young is great.
Ballack, overhearing their conversation, didn’t expect his intention to be seen through.
He has been practicing his throw-ins for a while now.
Mainly because Chelsea is a bit different from before.
Huang Kaiwen can handle both organizing and scoring, reducing both his and Deco’s tactical importance.
As a player with ambition, Ballack immediately thought of ways to enhance his importance.
Delap’s throw-ins didn’t impress him much.
After all, many players have special skills that help make them stand out for their team.
But Huang Kaiwen’s skill inspired Ballack.
A player as talented as Huang Kaiwen practiced powerful throws for tactical variations, so he had no reason to lag behind.
This is Ballack’s first time showcasing his six months of practice.
Even if Evra pointed it out, he had no intention to change his plan.
After taking two steps back, Ballack took a deep breath, stepped with his left foot, tensed his body, and used his waist and abdomen for strength.
When his right foot was on the sideline, his hands, driven by his upper body, threw the ball fiercely.
The ball almost grazed Mata’s ear as it flew past, making Mata’s ear ache.
Instinctively, he turned his head back and saw the ball quickly flying into the right side of the penalty area.
Players on both teams started to move.
Terry and Ferdinand, both already on the right, jumped simultaneously. Despite their partnership in the National Team, neither held back, and they jostled their arms in the air.
Ferdinand is versatile, but he’s not as strong in aerial battles as Terry.
Terry clearly jumped higher.
Terry’s head grazed the bottom of the ball, sending it from the right towards the center.
Before Huntelaar could jump, Evans jumped first and cleared the ball out of the penalty area.
Outside the area, Gibson launched a powerful kick, sending the ball to the front, where it flew out of the right sideline.
“Heh heh, Chelsea is putting pressure on Manchester United whenever there’s a small chance.”
“Mainly, Manchester United’s substitute forwards aren’t performing as well as the starters today. Tevez is playing well, but Rooney and Berbatov are clearly stronger, which is why Ferguson mostly uses him as a sub. Youngsters Welbeck and Nani have talent, but neither can manage alone.”
“Yes, precisely, Ferguson is refreshing the team, and Manchester United is undergoing the growing pains of a transition. But if these youngsters can come through, losing a couple of titles will be worth it.”
Ferguson has never been one to rest on his laurels.
He’s a person with a strong sense of urgency.
Even back during the rivalry with Arsenal, winning 8 titles in 11 years, he was thinking about changing players.
If Kenyon hadn’t unexpectedly gone to Chelsea, disrupting Ferguson’s transfer plans, Giggs might not have been at Manchester United when the scandal broke.
After Gibson cleared the ball out.
Ferguson called Gibson over to the sideline to give him some instructions.
As he’s gotten older, Ferguson has become much more patient with young players.
Back when Scholes was young, Ferguson wasn’t as easygoing.
The game reached a stalemate on the pitch.
Boas also handed over someone he had caught to Chelsea’s staff.
That person definitely couldn’t be given to Wembly’s security.
The London afternoon sun was blazing, and the atmosphere at Wembley was heated.
Looking at the bustling stands, these people had no idea they just went through a crisis.
No one could guarantee what this magician intended to do.
After successfully thwarting the opponent’s plot, Boas felt a sense of achievement more pleasing than any victory on the pitch.
Standing in the shade of the stands’ entrance, Boas pondered.
Perhaps silently guarding this world is a greater role than being a coach.
Boas returned to his seat.
“Where have you been, Luis Andre?”
Mourinho, sitting with legs apart, asked.
“Oh?” Boas smiled and said, “Nothing, I got lost going to the restroom, not being familiar with Wembley Stadium.”
“Really, at your age, still so careless.” Mourinho laughed.
Boas pouted, glanced between Mourinho’s legs, and shook his head.
You have no right to lecture me.
Gibson has become Manchester United’s weakness.
His performances on both ends of the pitch are clearly several levels below Scholes’.
