Chapter 171: In Three Champions League Matches, Li Ang Fully Demonstrated His Worth [Please Subscribe, Big Guys! ]

It was no coincidence that Li Ang pulled Modric to quickly penetrate Manchester United's midfield defense.

Mourinho saw at a glance that Li Ang used the central assault tactics arranged by the coaching staff in the last round against Arsenal.

And the effect seemed to be almost the same as when Real Madrid played against Arsenal before!

Mourinho didn't know whether this situation was beyond Ferguson's expectations, but he was indeed surprised.

Because in his opinion, Carrick's ability as a defensive midfielder is still quite good.

Don't look at the fans who always evaluate Carrick as soft, mediocre, and a bit different.

But in fact, this is a relatively balanced offensive and defensive midfielder with first-class organizational ability.

Carrick's defense in his early years did have some big problems, but he was not originally a full-time defensive engineer midfielder.

In the past two years, as he got older, Carrick has played his peak level in Manchester United, and his defensive level has also improved with the increase of experience.

Indeed, Carrick's speed is still the biggest flaw in his defensive ability.

When facing an opponent with strong mobility and impact, his speed will become a loophole in Manchester United's midfield.

But Anderson and Cleverley, who Ferguson arranged beside him, made up for Carrick's lack of lateral movement speed.

Compared with Arsenal, Manchester United's midfield combination is more balanced in terms of offense and defense on paper.

Nani, Ashley Young, and Valencia can also assist Carrick in defense more timely.

So Mourinho's tactical choice at the beginning is still relatively safe.

Perhaps there is also a reason for respect for the name "Ferguson".

Mourinho subconsciously overestimated Manchester United's hard power by half a level.

And Li Ang is now using a strong and hard breakthrough to make his head coach sober up.

It's not that Carrick is not good, but the two midfielders who partnered with him today are more lame in defense and can't protect him at all!

So after some urgent tactical fine-tuning, Real Madrid changed its previous posture of defending the wing and supplementing the midfield defense, and directly turned defense into offense!

If the opponent's tactics and player strength have shortcomings, then naturally we must take advantage of them!

Mourinho has never missed the opportunity to catch such flaws.

Then can Li Ang and Modric complete the new offensive tactics?

"For this kind of team that can't protect the core of the organization, we have to break through their middle road fiercely, so that they must realize the importance of midfield defense."

After receiving Mourinho's tactical adjustment instructions, Li Ang rubbed his hands and cheered Modric excitedly.

Modric was somewhat unsure in his heart, mainly because he had lost too many times to Manchester United in the Premier League before.

But Li Ang is so confident now, and the head coach has made a decision. Modric is ruthless and rushes!

"After I break up Manchester United's midfield defense formation, you try to find opportunities to advance in the ribs on both sides, and after receiving the ball, find Karim to cooperate in front of the penalty area."

After defending Manchester United's another wing attack, Li Ang took the opportunity of a dead ball to make a final communication with Modric.

Seeing Modric nod to indicate that he understood, Li Ang devoted himself to the battle for the ball in the midfield and wing.

Rooney's starting position today is still the front midfielder, and Anderson is on his left.

When defending, Anderson will return to the middle, and Rooney will pull to the side to assist Evra to resist Di Maria's counterattack.

In terms of confrontation, Rooney has a lot more advantages than Anderson. Di Maria's several breakthrough attempts at the beginning were forced back by Lu Xiaopang's body.

But at this moment, when Li Ang also responded with a tough confrontation, Rooney's offensive ball advancement became quite uncomfortable.

In terms of confrontational ability, Li Ang is not Rooney's opponent now, but he is more physically fit and more difficult to deal with!

This is the same as Li Ang's previous fight with Messi.

Li Ang is definitely not Messi's opponent in terms of explosive speed, but his excellent positioning and sticky defensive tenacity can make Messi uncomfortable no matter how he plays.

Rooney can burst out and rush to squeeze Li Ang away, but this embarrassment is not a problem for Li Ang at all.

If he is squeezed away, he will stick to him again!

He just wants to entangle Rooney. If he can't compete with explosiveness, then he will compete with continuous strength!

After doing this several times, Rooney was also depressed.

His endurance is a bit hard to say, and the probability of losing the ball after exhaustion will inevitably increase.

Li Ang's kicks are fast and fierce. After stealing the ball from Rooney for the second time in the first half, Li Ang did not choose to pass back immediately.

He chose to lead the ball and speed up to move forward!

From his own defensive third zone to the midline, Li Ang burst forward and almost headed into Manchester United's half despite Anderson's immediate defensive interference!

At the moment when his position was pulled away, Li Ang's questioning look of "Can you do it?" made Anderson furious.

But he could only be furious at this moment.

He couldn't stand up to the opponent, and couldn't keep up with the speed. This time, he and Cleverley made the same mistake and didn't commit a tactical foul in time.

So Leon alone disturbed almost the entire Manchester United's defense deployment!

Nanine retreated to chase, and Cleverley would be taken away by Di Maria's side running.

Leon looked at Carrick who was pressing forward and approaching him, grinned, and quickly passed the ball to Modric who was already in the left side of Manchester United's half!

Modric, who was happy in his heart, still remembered Leon's instructions before.

Cooperating with Benzema can pull Ferdinand's defensive position.

As long as Ferdinand is attracted by Benzema's defensive attention, neither Rafael nor Evans, who is filling in, will be the opponent of Ronaldo's diagonal running.

Even if he has only played with Ronaldo for more than half a year, Modric has already fully trusted Ronaldo's ability to seize opportunities in the penalty area.

After passing the ball to Benzema who retreated to the penalty area line, Modric moved sideways in the opposite direction and quickly ran to the right from the left side of the penalty area.

Benzema took the ball with his back to the goal, Ferdinand stepped forward to intercept, but Benzema protected the ball and then passed it back.

It was not to Modric who was running, but to Li Ang who was using Modric to cover and move forward!

This series of passes and cuts in the penalty area were very smooth for Real Madrid, and Li Ang continued to move forward without stopping!

Ferdinand pressed out, and Ronaldo took the opportunity to raise his hand and move diagonally, and Evans and Rafael immediately doubled up.

Li Ang, who originally wanted to kick the ball through, quickly changed his mind when he saw this scene.

Ferguson has a deep understanding of Ronaldo.

Judging from the defensive arrangement this time, even after Ronaldo left Manchester United, Ferguson has been paying attention to Ronaldo's growth and performance.

He knew very well that Ronaldo was now running from the wing to the penalty area before shooting.

Manchester United's defense also took good care of Ronaldo.

But they still made a big mistake.

They let Li Ang hold the ball and enter their shooting range, and there was no defender to limit him!

Manchester United dared to let him go, so Li Ang naturally had no psychological burden to dare to try to shoot.

The skillful use of the left foot was not a problem for Li Ang, after all, he had been deliberately training his left foot since the beginning of his professional youth training.

He was not good at fine shooting yet, and both feet did not have the ability.

But he had the confidence to shoot without interference at a distance of less than 20 meters from the goal!

The adjustment and force preparation were completed almost instantly, and Li Ang's left calf quickly exerted force forward after a small swing!

There was no kick, and no weakness in the legs.

A powerful shot from the penalty area line one step away from the far corner!

Li Ang almost completed this shot at the risk of a high probability of hitting the ball.

He had to do so.

Because the one standing in front of Manchester United's goal at this moment was De Gea.

A young, talented and confident De Gea!

This handsome Spanish guy who is fully qualified to compete for the world's top goalkeeper in the future has a very good goal-line technique.

So Li Ang chose not to leave room for error for himself, nor for De Gea!

At this time, De Gea's confidence, standing in front of Manchester United's goal, also declined rapidly with the violent movement of the football.

He rushed to the top of the far corner of the goal without any hesitation.

But the speed of the ball was still too fast!

De Gea's heart trembled, and at this moment, he only felt Li Ang's decisiveness!

"This is a ruthless person who doesn't care about the possibility of embarrassing himself."

After such a thought flashed through his mind quickly, De Gea felt the strong wind brought by the football passing over his gloved fingertips.

After all, he couldn't turn his head as fast as the ball went into the net above the goal!

The ball was so fast that after the goal, Li Ang started to roar and run along the sideline, and many commentators were stunned for a second!

Zhan Jun was no exception, but his passion after being stunned was also particularly strong!

"Oh my God! Thunder came out of the blue!!! The ball went in! Li Ang!!! He used the most unusual way from his usual style to score the most exciting goal of this round of the Champions League so far!!!

De Gea's reaction was very fast, but it was too late! This was a super shot that left no way out for himself and absolutely no chance for the opponent!

A complete world wave!!! Real Madrid took a 1-0 lead at Old Trafford! Just twelve minutes into the game, Li Ang! Opened the scoring for Real Madrid!!!"

The Manchester United fans at Old Trafford seemed to have their vocal cords pinched at this moment, and the singing and cheering stopped suddenly.

The nearly 10,000 Real Madrid fans gathered in the stands and jumped and cheered wildly!

Under this white wave, Li Ang ran nearly 30 meters, slid to his knees passionately, and opened his arms at the same time!

Mourinho looked at Li Ang's goal, and first covered his head in incredible surprise, and then he did the same celebration as Li Ang.

Yes, after many years, Mourinho's figure once again ran passionately on the sidelines of Old Trafford!

Manchester United fans who recovered quickly regained their consciousness when they saw Mourinho's unrestrained celebration.

They began to greet Mourinho and Li Ang enthusiastically and booed strongly!

Ronaldo reacted after jogging for a while with the same excitement, and suppressed the passion in his chest, watching his teammates rush up and drown Li Ang.

Basically, after everyone had celebrated passionately, Ronaldo smiled and gave Li Ang a big hug.

"Chris, laugh if you want to, don't hold it back."

Seeing that Ronaldo was restraining his emotions, Li Ang couldn't help but make a joke.

Ronaldo didn't say anything when he heard it, and silently increased the strength of his hand patting Li Ang's back.

He was already feeling uncomfortable, and Li Ang teased him, which was really a case of watching the fun.

Real Madrid was jubilant, and they took the lead very early, and they had a great advantage in tactics later.

Manchester United's players on the field and their coaching bench were agitated.

Ferguson obviously did not expect this situation to happen.

Manchester United's defense line gave full "care" to Benzema and Ronaldo today, but who would have thought that Li Ang would suddenly stand up and score a goal?

At first, Ferguson tried to calm down and think about the direction of the next tactical adjustment.

But when he finished sorting out Real Madrid's attack mode, he felt that his mood was even worse.

The goal was the final result.

But what caused Manchester United's defense to make a mistake and let Li Ang kick easily was the loss of the midfield defense in front of Carrick!

If Ferguson remembered correctly, before this goal was scored.

In just twelve minutes, Real Madrid completely penetrated Manchester United's central defense twice.

Another time, Modric's counterattack attempt was destroyed by Rooney who retreated.

When Rooney couldn't retreat in the first time, both Cleverley and Anderson made big defensive mistakes when facing Li Ang.

This is definitely not a coincidence. Ferguson had a strong premonition that this was definitely a targeted tactical advancement by Real Madrid.

After the game resumed, Real Madrid's choice to speed up further confirmed Ferguson's conjecture.

Cleverley retreated and fell into position, but the key was Anderson. I don't know what was wrong with this kid today, and he directly confronted Li Ang.

Cleverley and Carrick defended the center line, but Anderson wanted to take the initiative to confront Li Ang on both ends of the offense and defense.

That was really a mess.

Anderson was no longer the high-spirited Brazilian golden boy a few years ago. Not only did his skills hardly grow, but his physical fitness also declined seriously.

Ronaldo felt very sorry for the fall of his friend.

But after receiving the pass from Li Ang in the first half, he did not hesitate to kick the ball.

A long shot from the left edge of the penalty area was also powerful and tested De Gea's saving skills.

Although Real Madrid did not score this goal, Sir Alex Ferguson, who had given Anderson enough opportunities, had made up his mind.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Ferguson replaced Anderson with Jones who had finished warming up, and changed the starting lineup from 4-3-3 to 4-2-3-1.

Carrick and Jones partnered as double defensive midfielders, Rooney remained in the middle, and Cleverley was moved to the left side of the midfield.

After this change, Manchester United's central defense was finally stable.

After a decent debut season at Manchester United last season, Jones' defensive talent and explosive physical fitness have made him a future pillar of defense in the eyes of Manchester United fans.

Except for the fact that he is injured too frequently, the 21-year-old Jones is the kind of defensive genius that almost all the top teams like.

As a central defender, he can also show a very good defensive performance in the right back and defensive midfielder positions.

With excellent confrontation, fast speed, and desperate temperament, his presence always inspires teammates to invest more passion on the defensive end.

Carrick can finally organize and organize the offense in the backcourt with peace of mind.

But Real Madrid will not take the initiative to attack at this time.

After getting a one-goal advantage, Mourinho was watching Ferguson's tactical adjustments.

After Ferguson chose to replace Anderson with a defensive player, Mourinho made a quick decision

and chose to shrink the formation!

Ferguson almost bleed because of Mourinho's operation.

Li Ang also smiled unkindly with Mourinho.

Sir Alex Ferguson probably thought that Real Madrid would continue to attack, so he replaced Jones to prepare for counterattack.

The result... Hehe, you didn't expect it, Real Madrid also wanted to counterattack Manchester United!

When Anderson was on the field before, although his defense was indeed useless, he could at least participate in the attack as the formation pressed forward as a whole.

But now that Jones is on the field, Manchester United's midfield is destined to lack the strength to press forward and organize.

Both he and Carrick are more adapted to playing in their own half.

Carrick can certainly press forward, but his speed is destined to make it difficult for him to return to defense when he presses forward.

So after Mourinho chose to shrink the formation and play defense and counterattack, Ferguson felt that he was trapped.

Manchester United took the initiative to attack?

Then Carrick's forward pressure and speed disadvantages will still be used by Real Madrid to counterattack.

Continue to fight a positional war with Real Madrid?

Then Mourinho is so happy.

He is now looking forward to Manchester United and Real Madrid fighting a positional war!

Can Manchester United, which has invested a small amount of offensive forces, attack Real Madrid's defense?

Even if Rooney returns to his peak last year or 10 years today, he can't do anything about the current Real Madrid defense system!

Even if God came today, Mourinho dared to say that peak Rooney could not get through the two lines of defense of Lionel Messi and Alonso and Pepe and Ramos!

That's how confident he is.

I'm not afraid of your attack, I'm afraid of you not attacking. If you don't attack, where will Real Madrid's counterattack opportunities come from~

This tactical problem was directly thrown to Sir Alex Ferguson.

However, Sir Alex Ferguson still resisted the impulse today, allowing the Manchester United players on the field to stabilize the situation and drag the score of 0-1 to the halftime break.

But, just like the Champions League final in the summer of 2011.

When facing an opponent who is clearly stronger than himself, Ferguson will not choose to avoid or retreat.

The delay of more than ten minutes is just for him to better adjust the offensive tactics.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United, who replaced Welbeck, took the initiative to launch a fierce offensive attack on Real Madrid!

Carrick still followed and pressed forward.

He had to share Rooney's offensive organization pressure, so that Rooney could focus more of his energy and physical strength on attacking Real Madrid's defense line.

Mourinho, who also chose to make substitutions at halftime, stood on the sidelines.

Modric sat on the bench, watching Essien and Li Ang's crazy sweep in their own half, without any dissatisfaction in his head about being substituted.

Manchester United's offensive started very quickly and fiercely at this time. If he was still on the court, Real Madrid's midfield defense would definitely not be as stable as it is at this moment.

Li Ang once again became the most dazzling Real Madrid player on the court.

His excellent defensive positioning and wide-range running coverage forced back Manchester United's multiple offensives.

Essien did not need to worry about physical fitness when he only had to play half a game.

Manchester United's offensive players who occasionally missed the game also had Alonso as a backup. The defensive upper and lower limits of this midfield combination were terrifyingly high.

Manchester United attacked hard in the first fifteen minutes of the second half, without stopping, but they just couldn't penetrate Real Madrid's midfield defense.

Van Persie and Rooney shot from outside the penalty area, and each of them kicked once, which just posed a little threat to Casillas.

There are many Manchester United fans who will criticize Real Madrid for not daring to press forward to attack.

But the noise at the scene did not affect Mourinho's tactical determination at all.

In the 70th minute of the second half, when all the fans thought Real Madrid would defend to the end, Mourinho stood up.

Li Ang, who had taken the ball from Welbeck, also knocked the ball sideways, and Alonso, who had inserted into the position, made a long pass again!

The long pass that swept past several Manchester United midfielders was like a sharp blade that cut through Manchester United's defense!

When Di Maria stopped and dribbled the ball, and then kicked it into the air above Manchester United's penalty area,

Ferdinand, who was too late to make up for the defense, could only see his former younger brother and comrade-in-arms overpower his partner Evans to complete a header!

De Gea still tried his best to save the ball this time. He saved the ball and almost blocked it out of the goal!

But Manchester United's own goal post finally did not reject the rebound of the ball!

2-0!

Real Madrid killed Manchester United with a textbook-like counter-attack goal!

Ferguson sat in the coaching seat, watching his beloved disciple raise his hands high and purse his lips to indicate that he would not celebrate.

He turned his eyes again and looked at Li Ang next to Ronaldo, full of regret! ! !

"If I had known this day would come, I should have directly spent 30 million to knock you down! Alas."

Countless fans at this moment were like Ferguson. After watching Ronaldo score the goal, they all looked at Li Ang!

This Champions League, no, it was the last three Champions League games.

Li Ang completely played his worth!

He is already a star who can decide the trend of the game in the Champions League!

There is still one chapter.

I have been trying to find a connection to negotiate the price of the house these two days. I have negotiated 40,000 yuan. I expected to negotiate 50,000 yuan. I will pay the deposit and down payment after the negotiation.

Damn it, if my mother hadn't said that I could find a connection to talk to the boss and save a few tens of thousands, I would have paid the deposit directly under the persuasion of the salesperson.

There are so many things to know about buying a house, and I feel that I am still a newbie in society.

I am a little busy during the day, so I can only update later these days, but I have still updated about 10,000 words.

After discussing this, I will update it at the end of the month.

Thanks to all the big guys for their support again.

I also especially thank the big guys "Iced Watermelon Juice" and "Three No" for their rewards.

I have already thanked the leader of the big guy "Suit or White Shirt".

But in fact, I always feel that words of thanks are very weak in my heart.

So, let's add more chapters!

From the 1st to the 5th of next month, I will add five chapters for the big guy "Suit or White Shirt", and the total number of words added will not be less than 25,000 words!
