    The first half of the game is over. Judging from the score, this is a boring first half, but anyone who has watched this game will not come to such a result. Newcastle took advantage of the home court to attack aggressively, and  Manchester United responded calmly and used defense to make Newcastle's offense futile. Moreover, they did not just defend. Several counterattacks were still extremely sharp. From a viewing point of view, this was still a wonderful first half.

    "We played well in the first half, what we lacked was just a goal." Mourinho said to all the players: "They are almost unable to support now, and they can only cause us a little trouble through counterattacks.  That¡¯s it. Although they have won six consecutive victories, their players have consumed too much energy in the winning streak. There is an old saying in China, to the effect that no matter how fierce the arrows are, when their flight momentum reaches the end, they will not be connected.  The lightest and thinnest gauze cannot penetrate Now Manchester United is the arrow that has flown to the end, but we are not thin gauze. In the second half, we continued to put pressure on them and patiently searched for their defense.  When we score the goal to break the deadlock, the victory of this game will come towards us.¡±

    Mourinho's words were filled with strong self-confidence, and this self-confidence also affected the players very well: "The Manchester United dynasty is almost coming to an end, and the players who have supported them in creating one brilliance after another have begun to  Going downhill, in the next few years, all they can do is accumulate their own ability, and they will never have a chance to win the championship, at least until Ferguson builds a great enough team.  In the next few years, we will stand at the top of the Premier League, and the game that marks our top position will be our victory over the defending champion today! Patience, we must be patient, we have an absolute advantage as long as we can.  If we maintain this advantage, our victory will come smoothly!¡±

    "Guys. I think you all should know what a difficult time it is for us right now."

    In the Manchester United locker room, Ferguson was also lecturing the players, but at this time, Ferguson was not like the usual "hair dryer" who flew spittle everywhere in the locker room: "We are missing several important players.  Players, in the past month, we simply could not field a complete lineup to face our opponents in the league, but even in this unfavorable situation, we still won the longest six-game winning streak of the season.  , even Arsenal, who have been undefeated so far, have not been able to win six consecutive games Your performance makes me proud, really."

    The players are all looking at Ferguson. They rarely hear Ferguson's words like this. As a coach with an extremely strong competitive spirit.  Ferguson was never satisfied with the performance of his players.

    "I think through the first half of the game, everyone should have an understanding of our opponents. They are very strong, really strong. We defeated them at home half a year ago, but it was also difficult to win. At that time, their new players  The players haven't integrated into the team yet, and now they are a unit. In the first half, they suppressed us for a long time, but we still withstood the pressure, which was good, really good."  Ferguson paused, and then said to the players in a voice full of emotion: "Now I ask, just in the second half, we can continue to withstand their offense. Newcastle is a young team. From the chairman to the players, everyone is very  We are so young If we cannot attack for a long time, we will definitely become impatient. At that time, it will be time for us to counterattack. We must improve the efficiency of our counterattack and kill them with one strike when their defense line shows flaws. We must be patient and endure it!  Given the disadvantage on the field, victory is what we need most.¡±

    Mourinho and Ferguson emphasized patience at the same time. This may not have been expected by both parties, but it also seems to prove that both of them attach great importance to their opponents, otherwise they would not emphasize so much on the players.  Stay calm.

    When facing a powerful opponent, any impatience may be a fatal mistake. Obviously, both Ferguson and Mourinho understand this.

    During the halftime break, the Newcastle fans were not idle. Being able to beat the old strong team, their enemy Manchester United, at home was enough to make them extremely excited. During the entire halftime break, they had been together.  Singing Newcastle's team anthem "inghome newcastle" loudly, the voices of Manchester United fans were almost inaudible.

    When they saw players from both sides appear on the court, they even let out cheers like a landslide and tsunami. They chanted the names of all the Newcastle players, eagerly looking forward to defeating Manchester United and then winning in one go.  League Championship.

    "With such passionate fans, why can't we win the championship?" Pei Wei said to Mourinho enthusiastically.

    Mourinho smiled and did not answer. The enthusiasm of the fans is obviously not enough. It also requires a strong and united team, strong financial backing and wise and decisive command. Otherwise, Newcastle would have been the dominant player in the Premier League.

    After the start of the second half, Newcastle continued to launch an onslaught, and Manchester United suffered another major blow. Shortly after the start of the second half, Giggs injured his foot during a fight with Kufuor and could only limp.  At the end of the game, a livid Ferguson could only replace him with Forlan. Scholes retreated to the midfield. Manchester United lost their only player in the frontcourt who could organize the offense, and Newcastle's offense became more and more unscrupulous.

    Giggs' dismissal was definitely a major blow to Manchester United, and it also cleared the last obstacle in front of Newcastle - Manchester United's forwards did not have the ability to break through with the ball. After losing Solskjaer and Ronaldinho in the midfield, they  The only player left who can break through with the ball is Giggs. Now that even Giggs is off the field, how can we counterattack?

    Originally, Ferguson could still give it a try, but this time the blow was indeed too big.

    Just five minutes after Giggs left the field, Gary Neville fouled Nie Fei in the midfield and received a yellow card. While he was still complaining to the referee, Nie Fei quickly took the free kick.  out!

    The ball accurately landed at the feet of Ibrahimovic at the edge of the penalty area. Shearer ran over and drew Ferdinand's attention a little. Ibrahimovic immediately made a beautiful horizontal dribble and got rid of Ferdinand's defense!

    Sylvester rushed over, but Ibrahimovic immediately turned around and passed him!

    "Oh my god, what did I see! The 1.92 meter tall man danced a waltz!" Williams shouted exaggeratedly.

    After getting rid of Sylvester, only goalkeeper Howard is left in front of Ibrahimovic!

    Ibrahimovic took two big steps to catch up with the ball, and he shot the ball furiously!  The ball flew past Howard's armpit and rushed into the goal!

    "goooooooooooal! Ibrahimovic scored his eighth league goal of the season! Beautiful personal performance!"

    Ibrahimovic opened his arms and hugged Shearer tightly. If it weren't for Shearer's interference, he probably wouldn't have been able to get rid of Ferdinand's defense so smoothly. Although he didn't score, Shearer still showed his value from the other side.  !

    "In addition to Shearer, we finally found a trustworthy striker! When our chairman Pei Wei bought Ibrahimovic for a very high price of 17 million pounds, many people were doubting  , but does anyone still doubt it? No! And he is only 21 years old and has a bright future! I think everyone in Newcastle does not need to worry about the forward line after Shearer leaves, because we already have a trustworthy team.  "The replacement!" Williams' shout was almost the voice of Newcastle fans.

    Ibrahimovic¡¯s goal became the straw that broke the camel¡¯s back.

    As Mourinho said, the current situation of Manchester United is that "the strength of the crossbow cannot penetrate the enemy". Continuous injuries have brought Manchester United's potential to the limit. Although these championship-level players have played their best  ability to win six consecutive league games, but in the process they have exhausted their last bit of energy. When facing the overall strength of Newcastle, although in the first half they could still rely on experience and  Newcastle has been struggling until now, but after losing the ball, the last psychological defense has been broken.

    If Giggs is still there, maybe they can teach Newcastle some lessons through counterattacks, but now that he has been injured and is off the field, except for Forlan, who can also bring a few kicks, no one else in the midfield has the ability to break through on their own.  to create some opportunities for the team.

    Ferguson replaced Phil Neville with South African midfielder Fortune, in an attempt to bring about some breakthroughs through his personal ability, but Mourinho immediately replaced Robert, who was in declining physical condition, with Stewart, allowing Bernard to focus on  Put it all on defense.

    In the following games, although Newcastle's offense declined, they still firmly controlled the situation on the field and did not give Manchester United any decisive opportunities. In the 80th minute of the second half, Jenas received a wonderful pass from Nie Fei.  After passing the ball, he took a long shot 20 meters away from the goal. The ball quickly flew into the dead center of the goal. Two to zero, Newcastle completely sealed the victory.

    Ferguson had no choice but to replace forward Ruud van Nistelrooy with Bellion and announced that he would give up the game. When the cheers in the stands of St. James Park became louder and louder, the referee blew the whistle to end the game!

    Mourinho shook his fist fiercely and walked towards Ferguson."A new era has begun, Sir."
