Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 318 Is Different From What We Expected.

Manchester United's strategy is to wait. As time goes by, Liverpool with one less player will definitely be inferior to them in terms of physical fitness.

This is their impression all along.

In fact, this idea can be applied to any game with unusual similar situations. One person missing does take more energy than the other person. Therefore, many one-man teams, if they are already leading, will immediately choose to withdraw and defend without hesitation, hoping to maintain the victory. The team that is still lagging behind will attack desperately to equalize the score before their physical energy is exhausted. If they haven't evened the score even then, just wait for the collapse.

Such a situation did not happen to Liverpool today.

Not only did they not consume a lot of physical energy, they didn't even consume their usual physical energy.

Because it is very simple, Chen Yingxiong alone provoked the team's offensive backbone, allowing other Liverpool players to get sufficient rest. If there were cameras specifically focused on those Liverpool players, you would find that many players were simply walking on the court, and some were even standing still.

How much energy do you think this consumes? Of course, you will feel tired after standing or walking for a long time, but it is nothing compared to running at full strength for ninety minutes.

If Manchester United wants to wait until Liverpool is exhausted before attacking, I'm afraid they won't be able to wait until the end of the game.

And none of these Manchester United players have discovered that yet.

Even the wily Ferguson didn't realize it.

Before, all their attention was on Chen Yingxiong, and Chen Yingxiong's every move affected their nerves.

Naturally, there is no time to take care of other Liverpool players.

Even now. Chen Yingxiong is still the protagonist of the offense.

The Liverpool players just kept passing the football to him, allowing him to attack Manchester United's backline.

※※※

For the Manchester United players, it was the sixty-fifth minute when they conceded the goal, ten minutes before the seventy-fifth minute. To describe these ten minutes as "a second is like a year" is not an exaggeration at all.

Every time Chen Yingxiong jumped up, the shadow in their hearts expanded.

They were always worried that he would break after he jumped up.

Even goalkeeper De Gea, who doesn't actually need to expend much energy, was breathing heavily. He is not tired, he is under pressure.

The only belief that supports them now is

As long as we wait for seventy-five minutes and the opponent's physical fitness reaches a certain level, we can attack unscrupulously! By then, Chen Yingxiong alone will no longer be able to stop us!

In these ten minutes, Manchester United really got through it.

Not just the players, but also the Manchester United fans in the stands and in front of the TV.

I was afraid that Liverpool would score a goal with this attack. If Liverpool had taken the lead before that, then Manchester United's strategy would be useless. Liverpool would definitely recycle their defense immediately and use their best defensive counterattack. Then Manchester United really has no way to do it.

Everyone knows that Liverpool are good at hiding in defense and then counterattacking.

Fortunately..., these ten minutes finally allowed them to get through it!

The seventy-fifth minute is up and Manchester United is liberated and they can counterattack!

※※※

In the 77th minute, Liverpool's offensive wave finally ended. Like a wave, it crashed onto the beach and finally retreated slowly.

Manchester United is brewing an attack.

They don't intend to just drive the football upfield.

Everyone knows that Liverpool's defense has outstanding header ability, and Rooney alone can't stop Agger and Pepe.

Therefore, Manchester United adopted short passing penetration and pushed the football into the dangerous area bit by bit.

This will at least ensure that possession of the ball is on their side.

But as soon as they passed the football out of the penalty area, they realized something was wrong.

It stands to reason that the Liverpool players have exhausted too much physical energy. At this time, they should quickly return to defense and fight Manchester United's attack at the front of the penalty area.

Unexpectedly, goalkeeper De Gea passed the football to center back Jonathan Evans, and saw Chen Yingxiong pressing up from behind...

He quickly shouted: "Be careful behind you!"

Evans didn't know what was going on behind him and didn't dare to raise the ball. He quickly passed the football back to goalkeeper De Gea. This is the safest and absolutely error-free approach.

But Chen Yingxiong directly passed him and ran towards De Gea after the football.

Well... Chen Yingxiong is born with good physical fitness...,

De Gea didn't panic when he saw Chen Yingxiong rushing towards him. Chen Yingxiong's pressing was within his expectation because Chen Yingxiong was in good physical condition.

He quickly passed the football to the wing defenders Rafaelda and Silva.

Just after passing the football, he exclaimed again: "Watch your back!!"

This time, Liverpool full-back Gareth Bale charged forward.

After all, Rafael is a Brazilian and a very brave man. He knew there was someone behind him and did not directly pass the football back to goalkeeper De Gea.

Instead, he looked back and saw Bell's position, then made a fake move, got away slightly, gained a little distance, and quickly passed the football.

He didn't dare to be too confident and didn't let the football stay at his feet for too long.

The football was passed to the feet of his midfielder Fletcher who came up to meet him.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, at least the football was passed on.

Those Manchester United fans breathed a sigh of relief. Once the football is passed, you can move forward.

They were only halfway out of their anger when they saw Chen Yingxiong chasing back. At the same time, Gerrard was also pressing up from the midfield.

Fletcher did not pass the ball immediately because he had not found a better passing route.

With just such a pause, he was caught by Chen Yingxiong. When Chen Yingxiong came up, it was a reasonable collision.

The collision caused Fletcher to stagger. If he hadn't been quick with his feet, he might have lost the ball.

But when he finally adjusted, Gerrard had already reached him.

Then he found that he was surrounded by Chen Yingxiong and Gerald.

It’s not easy to spread football out again.

He rushed left and right in the double-team of two people, finally found an opening, and passed the football horizontally to Shinji Kagawa who came up to meet him.

As a result, Kagawa Shinji also had an Omi behind his butt.

The Manchester United fans watching the game in the stands and in front of the TV could see it more clearly, so they discovered this anomaly earlier than the Manchester United players.

Liverpool did not retreat to the front of their penalty area to organize defense, but directly pressed forward collectively and started a siege in the frontcourt!

Is there any sign of physical exhaustion here?

You must know that rushing to encircle is very energy-consuming. If you don't have enough physical strength to support it, there is no way to implement it at all!

Some knowledgeable Manchester United fans only realized at this time - maybe Liverpool's physical fitness is not okay at all!

※※※

Ferguson was also the one who reacted.

He stood on the sidelines with his hands folded on his chest, his face gloomy, his mouth moving and chewing gum.

Ferguson is a smart guy, he just didn't notice before. So after he discovered that Liverpool's physical fitness had not declined significantly, he immediately understood where the problem was.

It's because of Liverpool's seemingly reckless tactics!

They used Chen Yingxiong's attack to divert the attention of the entire Manchester United, and then gave other Liverpool players time to fully rest...

This is really”…

Ferguson did not expect that the opponent's reckless tactic had a profound meaning.

He was deceived by Martin and O'Neal!

But considering that he also cheated on Martin O'Neill, the two of them are now even...

Ferguson's face was not good-looking, not just because he was deceived by Martin O'Neill, but also because he knew how dangerous it would be for Manchester United if Liverpool did this!

※※※

In fact, not only Ferguson but even an ordinary fan can see it now.

Manchester United did not expect that the Liverpool players still had the physical ability to carry out such a frontcourt press. They were thrown into a panic by Liverpool's press.

They couldn't pass the football forward!

The football was always hanging around in his own backfield, and everyone could see that it was dangerous.

Even a player with delicate footwork like Shinji Kagawa couldn't even turn around when facing Inler.

But he knows that if football cannot be spread, Manchester United will really be doomed. So no matter what, he must send the football forward. Just passing back and crossing the ball will not help.

Shinji Kagawa is confident in his skills. He intends to break through Inle's blockage and send the football forward.

This scene is really thrilling for the fans. But for Shinji Kagawa, he knew that danger also meant huge opportunities. If you want to know that even a defensive midfielder like Inler is pressing up now, you can imagine where Liverpool's defense will be now. Shinji Kagawa doesn't even have to look back. He knows that there must be a large space behind them. .

As long as he can send a direct pass, break through the opponent's defense with Rooney's speed, and receive the ball behind the defense, that will be the end of Liverpool!

Huge gains always come in pairs with huge risks.

Shinji Kagawa decided to take a risk.

He took a shot with his upper body and turned his body to the left, making Inle think he would break through from the left. Then he moved the football to the right.

But he didn't just break through from the right.

If it were just that simple, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to deceive Inle.

He turned his body, but it was not a direct turn to dribble, but a movement similar to Cruyff's turn.

He pushed Inler with his right hand to prevent him from getting too close to him, then turned around, turned his left foot and buckled the football on the right side forward.

If all goes well, the football will pass between Inler's legs, and then he will push Inler himself, and then his whole body will pass through the left side of Inler's body - a perfect and beautiful turn to escape!

But everything after that was all Shinji Kagawa's fantasy.

The actual situation is...

The football he dunked was blocked by Inle's left leg!

As for himself, he turned around due to inertia...

When he found that football didn't come with him, he looked back.

Yin Le crossed everything and blocked him behind him.

"Inle stole the ball one by one!!!"

I am so sorry!

Yesterday, many friends came to visit their children at home. They were very happy and overly happy, so I missed a chapter when uploading new chapters.

After being reminded by the reader, I reacted and quickly modified the internal code.

However, the chapter name needs the editor to help me modify it, and I have already left a message.

Please forgive me... (To be continued)
