Chapter 35 A Sudden Goal
C-Ronaldo didn't know that Manchester City would target him this way, and wanted to use this road as a breakthrough to find opportunities. Perhaps for him, the other way around is similar. When many teams meet Manchester United, they will target him to defend. , as for Manchester United's approach... he didn't think about it at all.
If C-Ronaldo knew what Wansheng explained before the game, he would definitely be very angry - when did his own way become a breakthrough for the opponent's attack?
Maybe he was already pissed off.
The remarks of the opponent's young coach before the game made him feel contemptuous, so he had long planned to work hard to prove himself. At the same time, he also let the opponent know that he is not easy to mess with. paid the price.
From the beginning of the game, C-Ronaldo is doing the same.
His passing, dribbling and explosions are very sharp, and he threatened Manchester City's defense several times. Whenever he played a threatening attack, the Manchester United fans in the audience would cheer for his performance. This is for C-Ronaldo. It is a kind of affirmation, so he is more motivated to play. The only pity is that the opponent's performance is not much. Their offense is playing well, and the defense speed is too fast. to real opportunities.
But C-Ronaldo believes that there will be a chance sooner or later, because Manchester United is much stronger than Manchester City, and Manchester City's defense cannot be solid for 90 minutes.
After many unsuccessful attacks, C-Ronaldo was still thinking about how to break through the defense, but did not retreat immediately. Every time he attacks, he has to attack very early. When the attack is intercepted and then quickly runs back, the physical energy consumption is a bit large, so C-Ronaldo's approach is to slowly retreat and run back to participate in the next defense. Perhaps supporting his idea is O'Shea, who is experienced in defense behind him.
A few years ago, when O'Shea had just turned professional and joined Manchester United. Once on loan for two seasons, playing for Bournemouth and Royal Antwerp respectively, he performed very well in these two teams, and when he returned to Manchester United, he had a stable position.
O'Shea can play every position in the backcourt. It's a panacea for Manchester United's backcourt. After two years of stability at Manchester United, he also got the main position.
For a jack-of-all-trades player, it is not easy to get the main position, but O'Shea did it, and he can also play as a central defender and a full-back. He has very rich defensive experience. The most solid starting backcourt player. Not even Gary Neville and Sylvester can match that.
This shows O'Shea's ability.
It is precisely because O'Shea is behind that C-Ronaldo is a little slack in defense, because this trusted teammate can always guarantee the stability of defense... Of course, there is actually a premise that the opponent does not target him. all the way to attack.
At this point C-Ronaldo was very angry.
He also retreated to defend just now, but seeing the opponent's players running parallel to himself, he did not speed up. But what must be admired is that the opponent's passing is very accurate. The cooperation was also very tacit, and as a result, the opponent's player rushed up to the front and got the ball.
That's fine.
Anyway, his defense is not so good, and the opponent will grab the ball if he reacts first and grabs the ball.
C-Ronaldo didn't care very much, but the guy in front not only grabbed the ball one step ahead, but also made a provocative look and action 'by the way', as if he was mocking him.
No one can stand this kind of provocation!
"asshole!"
C-Ronaldo cursed and tried to catch up quickly, but what he didn't expect was that the opponent's foot skills were very good. Although he couldn't catch up with him, it wouldn't be too bad, especially now that he was on the defensive side. As a result, when he saw the opponent pull the ball, he stretched his foot and hooked the ball almost without thinking, and he was easily fooled.
Seeing this scene, the commentator of the Old Trafford Autumn Stadium said nervously, "Ronaldo was deceived..."
Manchester City fans shouted Joey Barton's name in awe.
......
Wan Sheng was not surprised when he saw Joey Barton cheating C-Ronaldo, and nodded with satisfaction.
Joey Barton is a very troublesome player, but his overall strength is very good. The most rare thing is that his 'dribbling' attribute potential is only lower than that of Anelka and Big Brother. Wei - Silva, and his 'dribbling' current ability evaluation, has 88 points, this data is considered high no matter what, in the Premier League, he is definitely a player with superior technology.
In addition, Joey Barton doesn't have any flaws in his technical strength. He has comprehensive personal abilities and good physical conditions. He is a player worth training.
So in Joey Barton's personal training, Wansheng specially arranged some 'dribbling' training. Joey Barton is not that kind of hardworking player. In fact, he can be said to be lazy, but with In a gap of a month, Joey Barton still completed a round of tasks, and his 'dribbling' ability also rose to 89 points, which is a small improvement in ability.
C-Ronaldo, who was opposite Joey Barton just now, is of course quite excellent in technology. He is completely a purple superstar player. Although he cannot see the specific attributes, Wansheng believes in the evaluation of C-Ronaldo's 'dribbling' ability. At least around 95, and speed and explosiveness are also his personal advantages, but C-Ronaldo's ability is more reflected in offense.
Defensively, there is a gap in his ability.
Despite his speed and explosiveness, he didn't use them defensively, so he was easily fooled when faced with Joey Button's dribbling, which may be the same as Joey Button's dribbling. The technology is related, but it is definitely directly related to C-Ronaldo's lack of emphasis on defensive ability.
It is precisely because of this that Wansheng wants to make a breakthrough from C-Ronaldo.
This may be the balance between the two teams.
C-Ronaldo's road is definitely a strong road for Manchester United, but the strength is the strength on the offensive end, not in the defense. Maybe other teams playing against Manchester United can hardly think of this, because they are playing against Manchester United. suppressing party. What qualifications does the suppressed party have to think that Manchester United's "weakness" is relatively large? Even if they know, they can't play against Manchester United, or they can do a good job defensively.
Manchester City is different now.
Manchester City was not suppressed in the situation, but somewhat suppressed Manchester United. They take advantage of constant passing. There are opportunities to penetrate every position and knowing where United's defence is weak is very useful for them.
If Manchester City can take advantage of the weak points found to make breakthroughs and complete the threatening attack, it will naturally find a good opportunity to score goals. On the contrary, Manchester City has been playing control. have been cooperating. It can also be said that they have been attacking all the time. If they cannot attack for a long time, it will definitely affect the morale of the whole team. At that time, it may also be an opportunity for Manchester United.
In short, whether you can advance the ball is likely to become a watershed in the game, so it is still very important to fight for the first ball.
While Wansheng was thinking about it, Manchester City players were also thinking about it.
They think differently.
Like Joey Button, he was thinking about the feeling of just passing C-Ronaldo, and that was wonderful. Especially thinking that the other party is a famous Manchester United star and a talented Portuguese star, Joey Barton is even more readily satisfied.
At the same time, he also found that what the coach said before the game was right.
C-Ronaldo is very strong in this way. But the corresponding defense is not very strong, compared to the other way is definitely weak.
Manchester United's starting full-back on the left is young teenager Fletcher. He is the result of Manchester United's youth academy and has been promoted to the first team. Since Ryan Giggs' injury has not fully recovered, Fletcher has the opportunity to start. .
It stands to reason that such an inexperienced young player is likely to become a breakthrough for Manchester City's offense, but this is not the case. Fletcher doesn't have a dazzling performance on offense, but he is very cautious in the game. Always be able to drop back on defense as soon as possible.
In the game, in fact, as long as you can guarantee the fallback defense, it is nothing to have less experience.
Fletcher, coupled with Gary Neville, Manchester United's defense on the left is still very solid, and it is difficult to find opportunities in this direction.
So C-Ronaldo's all the way, it may really be the weakness of Manchester United's defense.
Thinking of this, Joey Barton has to admire Wansheng, you know, it is C-Ronaldo! No matter how unconvinced he is, how unhappy C-Ronaldo is, he must admit that C-Ronaldo is a very strong player. His skills are definitely not worse than his own, and his body is also quite strong. He can almost be said to be a natural star. Such a player will become a threat to every opponent, but Wansheng regards him as a breakthrough in the attack. How many people will rush to think about it? What's more, it's really like what the coach said now, C-Ronaldo's defense is really weak this way.
Thinking of these, Joey Barton became more confident.
Other Manchester City players also thought about it. They saw Joey Barton take the initiative to find C-Ronaldo to fight all the way, and they knew what he was going to do. The result surprised them. Although they did not score this time, they found a good opportunity.
They found that C-Ronaldo's defense was a little weak.
Then, let's play according to the coach's arrangement for this road! ? As long as we keep going like this, we will definitely be able to score goals and even win!
......
In the next game, Manchester City began to deliberately attack C-Ronaldo.
They used constant running and passing to move Ferdinand and Robbie Keane away again and again, and then they could attack the wing without hindrance, even if it was only for a moment, as long as they passed the ball, and then Mu Sampa, coupled with the support of Joey Barton, Morris, Andy Cole and others, can make Manchester United's wing scramble.
After a few times, Manchester United also knows to strengthen the defense of C-Ronaldo this way.
But the defensive effect is not very good, because Manchester United also has to take into account the offense in this way, Fletcher's left wing is definitely not expected, they only have the support of C-Ronaldo on the wing, if there is no C-Ronaldo, Manchester United almost lost two flanks, so it is almost impossible to find opportunities just by relying on the middle, so they will only get bigger and more passive, so they must rely on C-Ronaldo to drive the attack.
But when C-Ronaldo drives the offense, there will be a problem, that is, the defensive retreat may not be timely.
This makes it easier for Manchester City to find opportunities.
The logic of this game, many players with good tactical awareness will think about it, but thinking about it does not mean what they will do. In fact, they have no time to do anything. When they realize that it is not good, they are completely powerless.
This time Manchester United's attack was intercepted as it advanced to the frontcourt, and then Manchester City launched a fast break.
For C-Ronaldo, these few minutes are very difficult. Whenever he goes up and changes the ball, he will find the emptiness of the defense, and then he has to run back quickly, but often this kind of running is fundamental It didn't work at all. After he ran to the position, Manchester City's attack threatened the goal, and the players who did not threaten were basically over. In short, he wasted his physical energy and played no role in defense. But he had to drop back to defend. After all, he is not a striker, or, in other words, even striker Wayne Rooney has the task of dropping back and defending. How could he have been standing in the frontcourt as a full-back?
After Manchester City counterattacked this time, C-Ronaldo also tried his best to run to the backcourt. Although he knew that his retracement might not be effective, he still did it, but he never thought that it was against him, and he was not very good. The young Belgian teenager who looks at him will suddenly plug in and surpass himself?
Leto Ziegler! ? It seems to be the name.
Why did this guy plug it in suddenly, and it was so fast! ?
C-Ronaldo is quite surprised, especially seeing the opponent running forward desperately, it is not easy for him to catch up. You must know that the opponent is a full-back, and the full-back is a supplementary attack. What are you doing so fast?
Soon he knew.
Because he saw the opponent's full-back Musampa pass the ball back, and then Leto Ziegler just ran to the position to face the ball, C-Ronaldo was a little annoyed that he should retreat faster, maybe he can He directly broke the ball first, but he didn't have time to think about anything else, because he saw the Belgian teenager who got on the ball kicked the ball high into the penalty area.
This is a pass! ?
Just now, the football was still at the foot of Musampa on the wing. He has been restricted by O'Shea, and it is impossible to pass the ball to the middle, so the Manchester United players are still very relieved, but they never thought that Musampa would suddenly Pass back, and then a full-back will jump in and pass the ball over. When they react, the football has appeared above the penalty area. At this time, there is even only one central defender in the penalty area. Rio Ferdinand!
"good chance!"
"Danger!"
Two words with opposite meanings, but expressed the same situation, Manchester United so he quickly passed the football back.
Anelka ran into the penalty area!
"Zigler's passing! Anelka! Good opportunity!" The commentator who supported Manchester City shouted.
This pass is not very subtle, but the timing is just right. The important thing is that Manchester City's defense in the penalty area is too weak. It is impossible for Rio Ferdinand to limit the entire penalty area alone. He even stood on the opposite side. In the direction, Anelka could not be stopped at all, and then he could only watch Anelka run to the position.
Anelka did not expect that he would easily get such an opportunity to face the goal.
The Manchester United players were also stunned. They did not expect the opponent to find space so easily and face the goal. They hoped that the opponent would not be able to play nervously, but unfortunately Anelka knew what to do.
Now, all that needs to be done is... shoot! He lifted his right foot high and kicked the falling football heavily!
This is a powerful volley!
The football was blasted out by him like a cannonball. Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar tried his best to pounce. He tried to stretch his arms in the air, but it was a pity that the speed of the ball was too fast. As soon as he stretched out his arm, the football was already in the air. A domineering gesture rushed over and plunged into the net! (To be continued ~^~)
