Chapter 554, Jiushu Battle Formation...

"The first and second half of this game showed a completely different situation: Manchester United had a certain advantage in the first half, while Atletico Madrid played against the Red Devils in the second half. It seems that Jin Taige's team wants to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League. It is very difficult. .”

In the live broadcast room of the Calderon Stadium, Trick was a little worried.

"I think Manchester United is out of luck!" Norrie directly sentenced Manchester United to death. "This is their third game within seven days. The players' physical condition is very poor. They could barely gain the upper hand in the first half. The second half has been up to now. , they didn't even have a shot on goal, and as their physical fitness declines further, they will encounter more difficulties."

Tricker looked at the Manchester United players on the field: "As a British TV media, I still hope that the Premier League team can win, but at present we can't see the slightest signs and signs that Manchester United can win. Let's not talk about other players. Just talk about Robin van Persie, who came on in the second half. Since he came on, two good chances on goal have been fired with anti-aircraft guns, which is a pity."

Norrie frowned: "I really don't understand why Kintag sent Van Persie today. Is it just because he is the top scorer in the Premier League for three consecutive years? With the current situation of Van Persie, his state is not enough to appear on this occasion. In a game of this intensity! After the serious injury, the Dutchman has completely lost his previous aura. He is just an old veteran now. If Kintag sends Martial and let the French boy go up and charge, the effect will definitely be very good ;Otherwise, Icardi can be replaced, his recent scoring state is very good... Oh, by the way, Kintag left Icardi in Manchester in order to bring Van Persie, what a pity..."

Now not only Trike and Norrie are worried about the situation of Manchester United, but even the Manchester United fans who followed the team to the away game are also very anxious.

Fatty Rodney was a little stunned: "Van Persie has not participated in the official game since he recovered from his injury. He is playing now. Tiger's decision is a bit hasty..."

On the other side, Cook is a loyal fan and good friend of Jin Taige. He glared at Rodney: "Tiger's decision is not wrong, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and cheer!"

"Okay..." Rodney pouted, and he continued to join the crowd of shouting fans.

"Come on Manchester United! The Red Devils must win!"

"We are the semi-finals of the Champions League!"

"Come on, Robin! Score a fucking goal!"

Van Persie, who had just boarded the plane, heard the cheers from the fans' stands and heard his name. He looked up at the fans' stands of the visiting team, clenched his fists and trembled slightly.

Don't worry, I will definitely break the goal of Atletico Madrid today!

At this time, beside the coaching bench of the visiting team, Ferran asked Jin Taige: "Tiger, Van Persie is not in a good condition today, is it a bit hasty for you to replace him?"

Scholes stabbed Ferran next to him, he was worried that Ferran's words would make Jin Taige unhappy. After all, before the game, the three people had different opinions on the candidate for the substitute striker: Jin Taige insisted on taking Van Persie, while Ferland and Scholes both felt that it would be more appropriate to take Icardi to Calderon.

Phelan believes that Icardi is in good condition recently and feels good on his feet.

But Kintag expressed his opinion: "Icardi is indeed very capable, but he has a small range of activities and is always used to waiting for the ball in the penalty area. If he is against a small team, then he may not be able to brush Few goals, but against a world-class team like Atletico Madrid, they have tough central defenders like Godin and Miranda on the back line, as well as midfielders with good defensive ability like Gabi and Saul , Icardi has very little room to play; and Van Persie has more experience in the Champions League, he is one-on-one in both running and shooting, and this game will definitely be able to play the role of a substitute."

Scholes reminded: "Captain, if it was Van Persie before, I would even suggest him to start. But since the Dutchman was injured in the World Cup, he has been recuperating. How much strength can he play in this game?

It's all unknown..."

Jin Taige said earnestly: "Although Van Persie has been out of battle for a long time, he has performed very well in training with the ball in the past month or so. He has also scored goals in team training games. I believe he will It must be fine!"

Seeing that Jin Taige was so persistent, Scholes and Phelan couldn't object anymore.

However, Van Persie has been playing for more than 20 minutes now, but he has not done anything very good at all. He got two consecutive chances to attack the goal, and they all missed the goal frame. This made Phelan and Scholes very anxious.

But Kintag remained calm and composed. He came to the sidelines and issued new instructions to the players: Kanter moved backwards and formed a three-center back with Vidic and Smalling; The position of the front midfielder, Lampard's position moved back, the two formed a midfield cooperation; Van Persie rushed forward alone, looking for opportunities to score.

Now Manchester United's formation has become a 5-4-1, which is mainly defensive.

At this time, Simeone's heart moved: It seems that Jin Taige is planning to stick to it! This is a good chance for Atletico Madrid to score!

Simeone came to the sidelines, waving his arms at the players and shouting loudly. Atletico Madrid players heard the head coach's voice and saw his movements, and immediately understood.

The head coach told us to attack with all our might!

At this point in the 68th minute of the game, Simeone made two substitution adjustments and put the team on a big push. It seems that he intends to resolve the battle as soon as possible.

Under the command of captain Nemanja Vidic, Manchester United began to defend more closely. At this time, Manchester United only left Van Persie in the frontcourt. Mahrez and Griezmann, who were closest to him, also frequently returned to defense to help the team. Midfield defense.

Although there was only Van Persie alone in Atletico Madrid's half, Godin, the captain of Atletico Madrid, was still very vigilant at this time. Although Godin is also an excellent defender with a knife, and his dribbling and assisting abilities are very good, but now he has no easy assists, but is closely following Van Persie. Since he moved to the La Liga powerhouse Villarreal in 2007, he switched to Atletico Madrid in 2010. In the past ten years, Godin knows Van Persie very well in European football. The Dutchman is definitely active in Europe. One of the best five strikers! Although he has experienced injuries in the World Cup, his experience and ability should not be underestimated.

Out of the importance he attached to Van Persie, Godin followed him every step of the way. Van Persie lost his sight for two shots just now, and both of them were related to Godin's interference. Under his marking, Atletico Madrid's defense is impenetrable.

Atletico Madrid's halftime was calm, but Manchester United's halftime changed suddenly!
