Episode [193]: Sir Alex Ferguson’s Decision

Zero to one!

It's really difficult for Manchester United now.

Leeds United's initial plan was obviously to defend, and they still lined up two midfielders. In fact, Alex Ferguson was not sure yet, but now he is really sure.

Leeds United's defense is already strong, but now Zhong Cheng has planned for a long time and made such an arrangement long ago, so it will be difficult now.

Alex Ferguson gave Zhong Cheng a thumbs up in his heart.

Then, Alex Ferguson withdrew his gaze and looked into the stadium.

Leeds United's defense has many tricks!

For example, Leeds United's defensive pressure is very strong and the hardness is very high. For example, Leeds United sometimes has a very deep defensive formation and can defend almost all lines. For example, it presses high and crazy...

But one thing is unified, that is, the integrity of the Leeds United team is very strong, and the team's pace is very consistent.

Therefore, this is the scariest thing about Leeds United.

It’s scary to think about it!

How bad is Leeds United's discipline?

To be honest, Manchester United may not be able to be as inconsistent and unified as Leeds United!

That's why Alex Ferguson thinks Zhong Cheng is very powerful. In Alex Ferguson's view, Zhong Cheng is indeed very good at coaching the team. It is really not luck that Leeds United has such results!

Of course, now is not the time to praise Zhong Cheng!

Alex Ferguson must find a way to attack Leeds United as soon as possible, otherwise Manchester United will really have no chance in this game.

Of course, Alex Ferguson has faced a lot of teams that defend well. Alex Ferguson is not without solutions, nor is he inexperienced, but against Leeds United, Alex Ferguson is still really worried.

In the past few seasons, Manchester United's results against Leeds United have not been very good.

Alex Ferguson naturally knew that Leeds United was difficult to deal with, but Leeds United still had to deal with it.

To deal with a defensive team like Leeds United, Alex Ferguson now has no more than two methods, one is to tear, and the other is to press!

Yes, now Leeds United's let go is like a piece of cardboard, covering all areas in front of Leeds United's goal. The defense here is very tight. If Manchester United wants to break through Leeds United's overall defense, it must tear the entire piece of cardboard from a certain corner or a certain place...

This kind of tearing involves maneuvering Leeds United's defense back and forth, pulling left and right, back and forth, in order to tear apart Leeds United's defense. Of course, another very good way is to find a precise point, force a breakthrough, and then cause Leeds United's defense to lose position or create chaos and create opportunities.

In this case, Manchester United's frontcourt players moved back and forth and frequently moved the ball left and right.

The second kind of pressure is easier to understand, which is to press the whole team and press Leeds United's defense like crazy, either squeezing Leeds United's discovery very flat, or squeezing them to a small range. Inside, or the high-intensity pressure caused Leeds United’s defensive players to make mistakes...

Of course, both of these methods consume a lot of physical energy for the players!

Of course, Alex Ferguson won't care about this now, because if Manchester United wants to win, they must smash the turtle shell of Leeds United!

Of course, now Alex Ferguson wants to think about which approach is better?

Tearing or oppression?

Alex Ferguson looked up at the Leeds United defensive line arrangement on the pitch and stared at the Leeds United players carefully.

Leeds United's defense is composed of Evra, David Luiz, Kompany and Glen Johnson. The defensive strength of these four is also very strong. Evra is really a good player, she can go up and down, and she is both offensive and defensive. The most important thing is that her defense is indeed very good.

This point is very difficult to break!

David Luiz and Kompany are even more powerful. Although they may be worse than Rio Ferdinand and Vidic now, they may not be inferior to these two in the future. What's more important is that David Luiz and Kompany are very mobile, fast and flexible, and more importantly, they are both very tall and can cover the ground and high altitude.

Of course, the most important thing is that both of them have played as defensive midfielders before, so his ability to manage tackles and interceptions is very, very good!

It is very, very difficult to break through the defense of these two people from the front.

The only hole in Leeds United's defense is Glen Johnson, who is also very young now. The ability to assist from the wing is very, very strong, the speed is also very fast, and the ability to go straight up and down from the wing is also very strong. But this guy's defensive ability still seems a bit immature, otherwise Zhong Cheng wouldn't have introduced Lichtsteiner at the beginning of this season.

Lichtsteiner's defensive management is much better than Glen Johnson's.

In front of this line of defense, there are also Seydou Keita and Yaya Toure, two players with very strong mobility, very tough defense, and excellent interception capabilities.

Therefore, the strength of this defensive line is very strong.

At the same time, for this reason, the only weak point in Leeds United's current defense is Glen Johnson. This is Manchester United's only breakthrough now.

The breakthrough has been made, now we have to choose the method!

Is it tearing or oppression?

Soon, Alex Ferguson made a choice, that was to tear!

Because judging from the characteristics of Glen Johnson, he is not afraid of pressure, but he is not good at position selection and some timing of attacking, so it is easier to break through and tear.

So, Alex Ferguson has made his judgment.

Alex Ferguson turned his head and glanced at Zhong Cheng opposite, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he muttered in his heart: "Madman, I have found a way now? What will you do next?"

Crazy Loya, I'm going to take action, are you ready?

Zhong Cheng naturally did not see Alex Ferguson's gaze, because Zhong Cheng had more important things to do.

Alex Ferguson noticed that Zhong Cheng was still chatting with the people on the coaching bench, and he smiled lightly. It seemed that Tiger also took a nap!

Alex Ferguson is more confident now.

Alex Ferguson smiled in his heart and thought: "Madman, you look down on our Manchester United team too much!"

Alex Ferguson immediately walked quickly to the sidelines, told the Manchester United players in the stadium, and roared loudly: "Pay attention, pay attention! Now we start to tear apart the tactics, target breakthrough Glen Johnson, do you know?"

At the same time, Alex Ferguson also called Frank Ribery to his side and said: "Frank, you will have to attack Glen Johnson many times next. I believe you can defeat him. Our Manchester United team depends on you!"

After speaking, Alex Ferguson also patted Frank Lampard on the shoulder.

Frank Ribery immediately nodded and said: "Boss, don't worry, I am very familiar with Glenn. I will definitely break through from them and win!"

Frank Ribery really knows Glen Johnson very well. He is now full of confidence and will definitely help Manchester United win this time.

Franck Ribery immediately turned around and walked into the pitch, ready to attack Glen Johnson. Frank Ribery couldn't help but glance up at Glenn Johnson and said in his heart: "I'm sorry, Glenn, I'm going to be sorry for you this time!"

Frank Ribery immediately went on the court to explain to the Manchester United players. The next step was a big battle, so the Manchester United players should be ready.

The Manchester United players nodded slightly and were very excited. They believe in Alex Ferguson very much. They firmly believe in Alex Ferguson's tactics. This time their Manchester United team will definitely win.

The Manchester United players on the court couldn't help but glance at Glen Johnson. Some of them were teammates of Glen Johnson's national team. They were all mourning for Glen Johnson in their hearts, and some even said: "Yes. Can't stand it any longer, brother. You wish for good luck!"

The players of Manchester United are all in high spirits, gearing up and preparing for a big fight.

Alex Ferguson even raised the corners of his mouth slightly, turned his head and glanced at the Leeds United coaching bench and stared at Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Cheng really didn't notice Alex Ferguson's gaze and reaction, because Zhong Cheng was busy with his own affairs.

At this time, Lichtsteiner on the Leeds United bench had stood up and took off his coat.

Zhong Cheng said calmly: "After you go up, pay attention to defense and keep the team well unified. Now that we are in the lead, we are not the ones who are anxious. Do you understand? We must hold on!"

Lichtsteiner immediately followed Albertini out and walked to the sidelines. Lichtsteiner's substitution application has been approved. As soon as the ball dies, Leeds United can make a substitution.

Alex Ferguson, who was a little proud just now, was instantly confused, and his face was very ugly.

Alex Ferguson was really confused. He really didn't expect Zhong Cheng's reaction to be so quick? How could Zhong Cheng predict that he would attack Glen Johnson?

Alex Ferguson immediately turned his head and looked at Zhong Cheng in shock.

This time Zhong Cheng seemed to feel Alex Ferguson's gaze. He immediately turned his head and winked at Alex Ferguson with his right eye.

Alex Ferguson was stunned for a moment, what does this mean?

Could it be that Crazy Loya really anticipated that his Manchester United team would madly attack Glen Johnson?

Alex Ferguson took a breath, and he suddenly understood that Crazy Loya was really difficult to deal with.

Alex Ferguson turned his head and glanced at the stadium again, and was suddenly stunned.

It turned out that at this time, the Manchester United players on the court were all staring at Alex Ferguson with bewildered faces. Their eyes were all confused, and they seemed to be asking Alex Ferguson like curious babies. Ferguson: "What should we do now?"

Seeing such a look, Alex Ferguson also smiled bitterly and said in his heart: "What can I do? I am also desperate!"

Of course, Alex Ferguson will not just admit defeat, and he may not be helpless now. Therefore, this game will not end like this, absolutely not!
