    "Craig, what are you doing!" Shearer couldn't help it anymore. He was very tired from playing today's game. Bellamy has never been able to share the pressure on the opponent's defense for him. Now such a single strike can't help him.  How can Hiller not be angry about being grounded?

    The two disastrous defeats last season made Shearer extremely eager to win this game. His teammates all played hard, and Manchester United was not as strong as last year. Shearer has already seen the hope of defeating Manchester United in the away game.  But Bellamy's mistake destroyed Newcastle's hope of exceeding the score again!

    Bellamy, who knew he was in the wrong, did not refute, but just waved his hand to show that he understood. Shearer didn't have much to say, shook his head, turned around and ran back.

    "If you miss an opportunity, you have to pay the price - who said this?"

    Just a minute after Newcastle missed this good opportunity, Manchester United quickly organized a counterattack. Solskjaer took the ball from the right and cut inside. After attracting Bernard's attention, he distributed the ball near the right penalty area line and inserted  Neville received the assist and passed the ball. Ruud van Nistelrooy beat Dawson with a header in the middle. Scholes, who was at the back point, took a shot without being defended!

    "Oh! Manchester United also missed an opportunity. Scholes' shot four meters in front of the goal was weak and was easily saved by Given!" Lawrenson laughed: "Maybe mistakes are contagious."

    Mourinho had just kicked out the other four players on the bench except the goalkeeper to warm up. Speed, Viduka, Viana and Taylor had already finished warming up and came over.  Mourinho called Speed ??and gave him a few words of advice. Assistant coach Kafur had already applied to the fourth official for a substitution.

    Speed ??stood near the center circle, but the game was still in progress at this time, and substitutions could only be made when the ball was dead.

    Given's big kick was marked by Ferdinand. After Solskjaer took the ball, he handed it to Keane who was running towards the wing. Keane took the ball towards the wing.  When Robert returned to defend him, he handed the ball to Neville, who immediately passed it back to Keane.  A beautiful one-two, Keane dribbled the ball to the wing and immediately made a cross!

    ¡°Keep an eye on Van Nistelrooy, I¡¯ll keep an eye on Solskjaer!¡± Lucio rushed to the front point and shouted to Dawson behind him.

    Dawson had no time to answer, and followed closely next to Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was running back and forth. At this time, Keane's ball had already passed into the penalty area.  Passed Lucio and Solskjaer at the front point and flew towards the middle.

    Van Nistelrooy jumped up. Dawson didn't have time to think, and jumped up close to Van Nistelrooy. Anyway, he was marking Van Nistelrooy. Although Giggs also rushed into the penalty area, there was Kufuor guarding him.  It should be fine.

    After jumping up close to Fanny.  Dawson realized that he had been fooled. The ball was obviously flying much higher than the two people. This was just a cover!

    "It doesn't matter, Giggs is guarded by Kufuor" Dawson reluctantly looked back, comforting himself in his heart.

    Just when the ball passed over the heads of Dawson and Ruud van Nistelrooy, Giggs suddenly made a dash.  Kufuor also ran over, and then he immediately discovered that Giggs' running was just to attract him, and Scholes ran over from behind without knowing when!

    Kufuor reluctantly jumped up and tried to head the ball out midway, but his head that he tried to stretch out still failed to touch the ball. The ball almost missed his head and flew to the back point!

    Scholes rushed to the goal, but the ball landed in an awkward spot, between his chest and abdomen, out of reach of his head and feet.

    But Scholes immediately made the best choice.  He took another step forward.  Knocked the ball into the goal with his chest!

    "Two to one, Manchester United took the lead! Scholes knocked the ball into the goal with his chest! Keane's pass was so beautiful. Although the posture was awkward, after all, his shot was less than three meters away from the goal.  , It was a completely empty goal! Manchester United scored two goals in ten minutes and successfully took the lead!¡±

    "Damn it!" Mourinho cursed out of control. He had already made adjustments, but Manchester United overtook the score before he made adjustments!  However, he does seem a little younger than Ferguson now, and his response to the situation is still a little slow!

    More importantly, the tacit cooperation between Manchester United players is far superior to that of Newcastle. Perhaps, the gap between the two sides is only a little bit.

    After the celebration of the Manchester United players ended, Mourinho showed his determination and replaced three players in one go.

    Speed ??replaced Dyer, Viana replaced Robert, and Viduka replaced Bellamy. Newcastle's formation became a shallow dish midfielder of 442. Mourinho planned to pass two  Attack from the wing to provide support for the two central defendersA center creates opportunities!

    Ferguson also responded immediately. Ronaldinho replaced Solskjaer. The Jazz's intention was obvious. Don't you just want to play on both sides?  Then I'll use the wing attack to suppress it!

    Everyone thought that the game would be more exciting after the score became 2-1, but no one expected that in the next half hour or so, both sides suddenly fell into mediocrity.

    After gaining the lead, Manchester United began to control the ball in the midfield. After gaining possession of the ball, they began to move back and forth in the midfield. Newcastle players' pressing was not as fierce as in the first half. After all, after most of the  After the field game, their physical energy has been exhausted a lot, and it is impossible to maintain the whole game with as fierce pressing as in the first half.

    Ronaldinho's performance was not as eye-catching as when he came on as a substitute in the last game. Perhaps it was because Bernard was given instructions to "keep an eye on Ronaldinho as soon as he came on the field." After Ronaldinho came on the field, Bernard  De basically gave up his own attack and started to follow Ronaldinho. Moreover, Ronaldinho didn't have many chances to get the ball. In the half hour or so that he was on the court, Ronaldinho basically  It's equal to disappearing.

    Newcastle's offense also fell into monotony. After the two wings broke through, they hit the ball high and found the two centers in the middle. However, Ferdinand showed the style of the England national team's first central defender in the following time, perfectly controlling everything.  For high-altitude balls, Newcastle could only rely on Nie Fei to occasionally pull into the center to attack and create some threats. Newcastle's only equalizing opportunity came before the end of the game. Nie Fei's pass from the center helped Viduka form a single opportunity. Unfortunately,  Viduka's shot went past Howard, but was brilliantly cleared by Ferdinand in front of the goal.

    As the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the game finally came to an end. Newcastle was ahead with one goal but was overtaken by Manchester United with two goals in ten minutes. In the remaining game,  Although Newcastle worked hard to equalize the score, the veteran Red Devils maintained their lead until the end.  After Newcastle lost this game, their ranking fell to tenth, while Manchester United was tied for the top spot with Arsenal, who also won this round.

    When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Pei Wei stood up regretfully and shook hands with Manchester United chairman Keir next to him: "Mr. Keele, congratulations Manchester United played a beautiful game, Keane is this  One of the best defensive midfielders in the world.¡±

    Keir held Pei Wei's hand with a little complacency: "Mr. Pei, Newcastle also played well today. I think we have to be more careful when we go to St. James Park next season."

    Pei Wei shrugged his shoulders and did not comment.

    Red Devils captain Keane was named the best player of the game. The Irishman said after the game: "We got a lot of opportunities. We could have given our opponents more colors to look at, but it is always good to win."

    Although captain Shearer, who helped Newcastle open the scoring, seemed in a bad mood during the interview, he said: "Although we lost this game, it does not mean that our performance was worse than Manchester United. In the game,  We still created a lot of opportunities, but we are a newly formed team and cannot match Manchester United in terms of coordination. This may be the only reason why we lost this game. Newcastle today is very different from before.  , our goal will be longer-term.¡±

    When asked if he regretted not accepting Manchester United's invitation and choosing Newcastle, which resulted in not winning any championship in seven years, Shearer replied: "I am a 'coal guy' (Newcastle  Rich in raw coal), I am proud of this. Manchester United is a strong team, they are at the top, and we hope to be the ones to knock them down. At the same time, we also hope to be as brilliant as them. This is Newcastle's mission.  ¡±

    Pei Wei has also become the subject of media attention. It seems that the media in England want to know whether the Asian rich man is very angry about the defeat in this game. They even speculated whether Pei Wei would kill Mourinho in anger.  Get fired, as some upstarts often do.

    "Losing one game doesn't prove anything Manchester United has always been the best team since the establishment of the Premier League, and we are just a new force that has only been formed recently. At least in this game, we saw hope.  There are a total of thirty-eight rounds in the league, and now we have only played two rounds. We will be waiting for Manchester United to arrive at St. James Park Stadium. By then we will be able to prove what we are a team fighting for  "Also, I'm delighted with the courage and quality Newcastle showed today at Old Trafford."

    No matter what, Newcastle still got its first victory after Pei Wei took over.In the defeat, Newcastle may not be inferior to Manchester United in terms of the thickness of the lineup, or even surpass it, but the problem before head coach Mourinho is obvious. The problem of cooperation and tacit understanding, and the lack of a second scoring point.  These issues require Mourinho to make preparations in the coming time.
