Chapitre 646: Create History

Manchester United established their two-goal lead within five minutes in the first half, while Nottingham Forest smashed Manchester United's advantage with two goals in ten minutes in the second half. Now the two sides were tied.

The result of the draw was also good for Manchester United, because even if they both tied, each team would still take one point and Manchester United would still win by one-point difference. But a football game was not a simple mathematics problem. To have an equalizer during this time, any fool would know that Nottingham Forest's morale was running high and could score again if they were not careful.

Ferguson had to make some adjustments.

To attack? Of course not, he was going to defend. He had to play it safe at the last minute.

He replaced Rooney with Park Ji-sung who was more physically energetic and balanced between offense and defense to strengthen the midfield defense.
