Chapter 122 All the Way to Play

The title race between Manchester United and Manchester City was widely publicized by the FA. Many fans in other regions saw the publicity to pay attention to the game. Everyone was looking forward to a collision between Mars and the earth, and the media reported it in the same way. , but in fact, the opening of the two teams was lethargic.

No one would have thought the opening would look like this.

To sum it up, it was City that had the ball...and then, no more. Manchester City is passing the ball, Manchester City is passing the ball, Manchester City is passing the ball, it has always been like this, Manchester United's pressing has no effect at all, and Manchester City is not in a hurry to attack. They seem to be playing to control the ball. It became an 11v11 yoyo game. Manchester City players used constant and subtle cooperation to pass the ball to each other, but they just didn't mean to attack.

Manchester United players are worn out.

They are not worried about the goal, because there is no problem with their defense, or in other words, even if there is a problem with the defense, Manchester City will not attack at all, but it is very annoying not to get the ball for a long time, so Rooney, Sa Ha waited for the players in the frontcourt and kept coming forward to try to press. When they were successful, when Manchester City passed the ball to the densely populated area in the middle, the possibility of losing the ball was much higher, but Manchester United failed to steal the ball twice in a row. Opportunity, and then it was Manchester City's turn to take control of the football.

The current game is like this. The fans of the two teams are cheering for the team, but even the fans of the two teams are not in the spirit. The game on the field is really far from the imagination.

Manchester United players are puzzled by Manchester City's style of play. If they control the ball and don't attack, they can't score goals? What are they going to do?

Many people don't understand.

Not to mention ordinary fans, some football professionals, commentators and guests have no idea what Manchester City is doing.

"This may be a specially arranged style of play by Wansheng, but what's the point of them controlling the ball and not attacking?"

Someone asked a question.

Then everyone continued to watch, but Manchester City was still playing like this, and the game was not in a hurry at all. It can be seen that Manchester City is really in no hurry. There were a few times in the midfield. They did not pass the ball forward, but continued to pass each other.

The game on the field was boring, and several cameras began to pay attention to the two coaches on the sidelines.

Ferguson watched the game a little anxiously. It can be seen that the old Sir's brows have been wrinkled.

The game is out of his control. He didn't expect Manchester City to play like this. If he keeps controlling the ball, of course it's good to be patient and look for opportunities, but now Manchester City's patience is too strong, right? ,

He didn't understand a little.

Compared with the old man Ferguson, Wan Sheng's energy is much better. He has been standing on the sidelines watching the game seriously, although his expression is very serious. But you can still see the smile on his face.

He is very satisfied with the game.

The team is sticking to his style of play. And the implementation is very thorough, and Wansheng is quite satisfied with this. In fact, this style of play is also very simple and direct, that is, be more patient with Manchester United!

Manchester City has always been a team that is good at attacking, so Manchester United will definitely work hard on defense. If it is a normal way of play, it is very difficult to use the attack to find opportunities, so it is necessary to be more patient with Manchester United. As long as they keep the ball in control, the first one who can't stand it must be Manchester United.

Think. When the football is always at the opponent's feet, constantly passing and controlling, one's own side will definitely be a little anxious, want to grab the ball, and want to complete the attack.

If you know the opponent's plan, you can stand up to defend the defense line at first, but after a long time, you will definitely be unable to resist, or if you are careless, then it will be an opportunity for the team.

This is Wansheng's plan.

Compared with patience, Manchester City have two advantages, one is that they are the side that controls the ball, and the football is under their feet most of the time, the other, they are prepared for this, Wansheng has emphasized many times before the game, This is how they are playing actively, and Manchester United must be unprepared for this. They are the passive side, so it must be them who lose their patience first and get anxious first.

While controlling the ball, the Manchester City players also thought about what Wansheng said before the game.

"We have to be patient with them. If their defense line is stable, we will always play like this, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, it doesn't matter if it's longer, anyway, football is under our control, even if 120 minutes have passed, it's not enough. It's a penalty shootout with them."

"As long as we are more patient than them, we are invincible..."

If you let others understand Manchester City's style of play, they will definitely comment - dirty!

It's just so dirty!

This kind of tactic can be described as 'disgusting', but this is a game between Manchester City and Manchester United. As long as they can win the most possible, it doesn't matter what means they use. What's more, the championship is the most important, so the most likely to win the championship. Play is the best, as for what other people think? He can't handle that much!

History will always remember the winner!

Many people are very dissatisfied with the conservative style of play implemented by Mourinho. A lot of football commentators and football legends think that it is a 'football retrogression', but what is the result? Mourinho has had success with Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

When he won the championship, people just thought he was a very successful football coach, and they didn't think about how 'dirty' his conservative style was.

The football world always belongs to the winners, the losers have no say in how they play, so winning is the most important thing.

At this point in the game, Manchester City insisted on controlling the style of play.

Manchester United players are a little numb to Manchester City's continuous passing. Several people think that Manchester City is playing this way to delay time. As long as the time can be delayed, the two teams will win by penalty kicks at the end of extra time. Negative, then Manchester City will have a good chance.

Many Manchester United players think so when they see that Manchester City is still in control of the ball.

So they pressed further forward and pressed harder.

It worked, at least City made a dangerous pass from the back, so they had to play the ball forward and United quickly got the ball under their feet and launched a wave of attacks that also created a shot from the outside of the box. Chance.

With this successful tackle, the Manchester United players remembered their style of play. That is to press ahead a little bit and play harder. This is the style of play that head coach Ferguson has repeatedly emphasized.

Now that style of play is working, they create chances with a hard pressing, so they play more decisively.

But what they didn't notice was. When Manchester City took control of the ball from the back again. The number of players who ran to the front and involved in the press was a bit higher.

Rooney, Saha, C-Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs, and even O'Shea were unwilling to run past the center line... The premise of two central midfielders drives Manchester United's entire formation forward, but in fact, football is still in Manchester City At his feet, Maurice's eyes lit up, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to request.

This action has been done several times before. Manchester United did not take it to heart. Because then Morris returned the ball again.

Soon Morris got the ball.

O'Shea ran back and was about to get close. He thought Morris would pass the ball back again, but Morris didn't pass the ball this time. Ziegler and Reina ran forward at the same time. A triangle stance is formed on the middle side.

Suddenly O'Shea didn't know how to defend.

He wanted to get close to Morris, but Ziegler ran past Park Ji-sung and was left unguarded, and Reina's position was even higher, the same. There are no Manchester United players around him either.

In the middle, O'Shea still insisted on pressing Morris. He believed that Morris was still the biggest threat.

Morris is not greedy for the ball. Quickly handed the ball to Reina on the diagonal.

Manchester United full-back Sylvester ran forward slowly, trying to put some pressure on Reina, but he was too far away to form an effective defense at all. Reina didn't dribble the ball himself. His skills were good, but he didn't want to waste his energy, so he gave the ball to Morris again.

At this time, O'Shea went to defend Ziegler, and Giggs had time to drop back to defend Morris.

Morris didn't pass the ball this time.

Giggs was running back, and he was still two positions away, and he took the opportunity to rush forward.

Giggs didn't expect Morris to dribble the ball himself. He didn't keep up for a while. As a result, O'Shea had to give up Ziegler and continue to guard Morris. At this moment, Morris gave the ball to Ziegler, then he sped forward on his own.

Ziegler didn't stop the ball, he kicked back directly and Morris completed a wonderful two-to-one, O'Shea was thrown behind.

At this time, Morris passed Andy Cole again!

Andy Cole plays a shadow striker behind Darren Bent in theory, but Manchester City's tactical position is relatively vague. In fact, all areas in the frontcourt are his space for movement, but his degree of freedom is full. Team highest.

When he saw that Morris was about to attack, he ran forward for the first time, and now he has reached the corner of the penalty area.

Just now everyone was paying attention to the cooperation of Morris, Ziegler and Reina, but no one noticed Andy Cole at all. As a result, Andy Cole received the pass easily.

However, the defense near the penalty area was already very dense, and he had little chance to get the ball, so he crossed the ball to the middle.

The constant cooperation of Morris and others on the flanks made Manchester United negligent in defending the middle. As a result, a large space appeared in the middle, and the direction of Andy Cole's passing was completely empty.

At this moment, a figure followed, it was Ivan Kru, his speed was not fast, but he just arrived in front of the ball.

Ivan Crewe knew that this was a good opportunity, he did not hesitate at all, and waved his right foot in front of the football!

Volley!

"Bang!"

"Ivan Krue! Shot--!!"

The on-site commentator shouted, and at the same time, all the commentators who paid attention to the game exclaimed.

The football sticks to the turf and goes straight to the right corner of the goal.

Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar reacted and rushed over quickly, but it can be seen that his reaction was still a little slow, and Ivan Crew's shot was also quite precise and powerful.

The hearts of Manchester United fans were in their throats, and Manchester City fans couldn't help cheering.

It's a pity that at the next moment, the football hit the column and bounced off the bottom line. There was a regretful sigh in the stands.

The attack was brilliant and the quality of the shots was high, but it was a little bit of luck missing.

Wan Sheng was very satisfied with the offense. He clapped his hands to express his affirmation of the team's performance.

It's impossible to score goals every time you play a good attack. That's too much. This attack at least proves that the team's attacking state is very good. As long as Manchester United doesn't pay attention, they can directly threaten Manchester United's goal.

That's all the way Manchester City played today.

To win quite a lot, control and attack are of course indispensable. First, use control to let the team take the initiative in the game, and then attack at an early opportunity to threaten Manchester United's goal.

Wansheng believes that if he continues to play like this, victory will definitely belong to his team. (To be continued ~^~)
