Chapter 387 I didn't say I wanted to give up
After scoring the goal, Weirbeck ran all the way to the corner flag area, and then he shut up to the Manchester City fans in the stands.
In fact, there were not many boos for him and Manchester City in this game, because ten minutes into the game, Manchester City lost the ball, and then in the twelfth minute, there was one less person. Manchester City fans were stunned and could no longer care about boosing the mortal enemy in the city.
So Weirbeck's move was not aimed at this game, he was aimed at Manchester City fans outside the game.
Because before this game, Manchester City fans took selfies of 6:1 scores and then posted them online to mock Manchester United.
Manchester City players and staff also mentioned this game repeatedly in interviews, and they were mocking Manchester United.
Manchester United remained calm and restrained at that time.
But now, with the lead of three goals, Manchester United no longer needs to remain silent and low-key.
Weirbeck used this method to shut up the whole Manchester City!
After the initial surprise, Manchester City fans booed.
But Weirbeck didn't care. He turned around and opened his arms to his teammates, giving the angry Manchester City fans a back.
The Manchester United people's suppressed emotions for a long time can finally be vented.
They firmly believe that three goals leads are enough to win the game.
The Manchester City players looked completely stunned, with their eyes confused and their expressions dull.

Just five minutes after Welbeck scored, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the first half.
Manchester United players seemed a little unhappy when they left the game - if they were given a few more minutes, they might be able to score the fourth goal of the game.
Manchester City players lowered their heads and walked off the court in great frustration.
They themselves don't know what's wrong.
Why did the opponent who had defeated 6-1 in the league suddenly change and make them unable to fight back?
※※※
During the halftime break, in Manchester City's locker room, all the players lowered their heads, and there was no other sound in the locker room except for the heavy breathing sound.
Everyone was frustrated.
After Benitez came in, he looked around the game first and said, "Even if we want to lose the FA Cup, I hope to lose in a dignified way, not like now!"
He spoke seriously and had a serious expression.
He then criticized the whole team without mercy and made adjustments to the second half.
In fact, there is nothing to adjust. The game is played like this, not a technical and tactical problem, but a gap in the team's spiritual and will. Such a first half is abnormal.
Because there was nothing to adjust, the fifteen-minute intermission only took six minutes.
After saying that, Benitez left the locker room.
He doesn't want to stay in the locker room, and the players need a little chance to relax. If they continue to be there, it will add pressure to them.
Next door, in Manchester United's locker room, the atmosphere is relatively relaxed.
Only Ferguson reminds the players that they should not be careless in the second half. "Don't think that the three-goal lead is done. Never relax until the last second of the game. Think about how Manchester City scored six of us in the first place? We have to do this too!"
His words aroused strong resonance among Manchester United players, and they howled and expressed their determination to completely bury Manchester City and completely clean up the 1:6 blood hatred of the first half of the season.
※※※
After Benitez left the locker room, the atmosphere in the locker room did not become much relaxed, and the air was still solemn and suffocating.
Everyone was silent, as if they were worried.
No one knows what others are thinking. They didn't discuss the first half, nor the second half, and they didn't discuss the things the head coach just said.
It seems that he has accepted his fate.
If you have this idea, it would be normal.
After all, that's three goals behind.
The 3:0 score is enough to make a team win in the ninety-minute game, not to mention that it is only halftime.
In such a situation, it is indeed difficult to make any powerful counterattack.
Just as the halftime break was about to end, Rongguang stood up.
As the captain, he is always the first to get up every time he appears.
So his rise didn't even make many people look up at him.
But he did not step towards the door.
He stood up and said to his teammates: "There is something I want to confess to everyone."
Hearing him say this, everyone raised their heads strangely.
What is there to confess to Glory to them?
"Although I was already three goals behind in the first half, I didn't plan to give up the FA Cup. I didn't want to be eliminated in the first FA Cup game of the season."
Glory said firmly.
※※※
After the second half of the game began, everyone observed that Manchester City did not make substitutions.
Although the team performed poorly in the first half, Benitez did not mean to replace anyone.
After all, he has used up a substitution quota, and now he has two. If he uses one at the beginning of the second half, he will only have the last substitution quota in the end. This is too dangerous. If there is something unexpected, he can only stare at it.
Manchester United has not replaced anyone.
Manchester United doesn't need substitutions anymore, they performed so well in the first half.
"Perhaps the impact of this FA Cup game will be far more profound than we thought," John Motterson said at the beginning of the half. "If Manchester United can eliminate Manchester City with a big score, it will be a great stimulus to Manchester United's morale and confidence, and in turn, it will be a destructive destruction for Manchester City. With one increase and another, maybe the performance of Manchester City and Manchester United will also reverse in the league?"
"It's very likely that John. This game may be a watershed this season!"
The TV broadcast pointed the camera at Glory. As Manchester City's captain, Glory performed very poorly in the first half, and he could only watch Manchester United players celebrate the goal again and again.
Such a situation is rare in him.
"What will Rong perform in the second half? This is also what we care about. If Rong did not perform in the whole game, it would be very rare..."
※※※
After the start of the second half, Manchester United still had an offensive of about five minutes. However, their offensive did not score.
It can be seen that after fifteen minutes of rest in the midfield, the performance of Manchester United players was a little different from the first half. It seemed that their good form was really interrupted by the halftime break.
However, with Manchester United's strong adjustment ability and Ferguson's on-the-spot command ability, perhaps in another ten minutes, they will be able to find their feelings again and continue to suppress Manchester City...
But some people won't let them get what they want.
After Manchester United's offensive ended, possession of the ball fell to Manchester City, and Manchester City launched an attack.
When the offensive pushes through the middle circle, it is difficult to move forward.
Although Manchester United scored three goals in this game, their defense cannot be ignored.
The last time they fought, they collapsed because there was one less defender. This time their defense line was complete, the whole team was united, and the defense was as solid as a defence. Manchester City could not find any good offensive method when they were stunned.
After the football turned around, he returned to Sneider's feet. Sneider's position on the field did not change much, and he was still in the middle circle.
Manchester United did not intend to give Sneider a chance to look up, their men followed the football and rushed towards Sneider.
If Sneed stops the football and then looks up and observes, he will not even pass the ball.
So Sneider did not observe anymore. In this case, he knew what to do, because there was a backup code that he always remembered in his heart. That was - "If you don't know what to do on the court, pass the football to Rong"!
He had been paying attention to the position of glory before.
After receiving the ball again, he didn't need a second observation and passed the football directly.
In that direction, the glory is surely there.
Sure enough, Luang Rongguang retreated and received a pass from Sneider.
Manchester United has been very strict in guarding Glory and has almost never left the corner.
With glory retreating, then behind him, there will definitely be a Manchester United player who will defend him closely, so that he cannot turn around easily.
But Rongguang didn't plan to drive the ball and turn around.
After receiving Sneider's pass, he did not stop the ball, but directly drove the football out.
Give it to Kaka not far away next to him.
Next, he turned around without the ball and ran forward.
Kaka was also facing the attack direction at the time. He did not stop to control the ball, but used his outer instep to push the ball behind him. He passed the ball back and cooperated with Rongguang with two passes and one wall!
After passing the ball, Kaka also turned around and ran forward.
Glory has accelerated to catch up with football.
As long as he faces the goal head-on, his threat level will be quickly improved.
Now Manchester United's entire defense line is on guard and guard against the dead, so that Rong Guang will never let the ball break in.
But what if Glory didn't plan to dribble the ball in?
He just caught up with the glory of Kaka's passing ball to himself, and did not want to continue dribbling the ball, but directly swung his right leg while running, and then shot a very sudden long shot!
Whether it was Carrick chasing him in the back or the entire Manchester United defense line in front of him, no one expected that Rong Guang would shoot directly from 35 meters away from the goal!
When Rong Guang's right foot hit the football, a muffled sound made, and he could hear it clearly in the noisy court.
Next, everyone saw that the football drew a silver line in the air, as if it were white marks left in the air after the missile streaked across the sky.
Then the football flew into the goal against the lower edge of the crossbar! Although Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea took off in the air, his hand was not able to touch the football.
Chapter completed!
