Chapter 222 God's Stick Wins 2
In an instant, Manchester United players fell into unprecedented helplessness.
Originally, at halftime, Ferguson arranged tactics with confidence, which made Manchester United players regain some confidence. I have to say that Ferguson at Manchester United and Benitez are completely different at Liverpool. The old Jazz can be said to be the first star of Manchester United, even in the hearts of these players.
If they lose the game, Manchester United players will not blame the head coach's tactical problems, but they feel that their performance is not good.
This is the influence of the Old Jazz in Manchester United!
Look at Benitez again... This guy's small tactical mistake will be suspected by Liverpool players. The experience of the two coaches is completely different. It can only be said that Benitez is just the beginning in Liverpool.
At halftime, the tactics arranged by Ferguson made Manchester United players regain their confidence. The passivity in the first half did not let them down, but was high in the second half.
However, all this was defeated by Alonso's goal.
"Harvey, the Spanish boy from Liverpool. Alonso scored another goal for the team and opened the score of both sides!"
Camps, the commentator of Sky TV Sports Channel. Via still shouted excitedly: "I can't see that this is a game at the Old Trafford Dream Theater. If it weren't for the large badge in the center of the stadium, I would think it was Anfield Stadium. Manchester United has been suppressed since the beginning of this game. Many fans think that Manchester United will regroup in the second half, but Now Liverpool has scored again. This goal is the cooperation of their whole team. It is an extremely wonderful goal. The Manchester United players seem to be stunned by this goal..."
Yes, I'm stunned!
Manchester United players feel very helpless, their so-called stars Giggs, C. Ronaldo and others don't know how to play next. Do they still play as the coach said?
In fact, it is not mainly a goal.
Now they have all come back and know that at the beginning of the second half, Liverpool directly implemented the tactics of pressing the whole game, and regardless of the consequences, they succeeded in one fell swoop. In the past, which team dares to be so arrogant at Old Trafford?
But now, such a team has appeared, and Manchester United players feel that the sky is about to fall.
Two goals behind, many players don't know how to play. Speaking of which, they usually rely too much on the head coach. In addition, the stars of the team are all old, and several newcomers have not yet grown up. For a while, there are rumors that the Manchester United club has been acquired by the American boss and so on. These complex reasons have led to Manchester United. The staff has been in a state recently.
Now this situation makes them not know what to do.
"If it continues, will Liverpool score again?" It's only the beginning of the second half. It's normal to continue this kind of tactic.
At this time, Ferguson on the sidelines could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He glanced at the young coach on the Liverpool bench on the other side (relative to himself), but he had a feeling that he was really old.
This feeling is very bad, but now Ferguson also knows what he should do. He immediately called captain Keane and ordered the team to continue to attack according to the tactical arrangement.
Such a tactic is really right, but Liverpool caught off guard at the beginning of the second half.
Ferguson is very clear about the reason, and he thinks that if Liverpool continue to use such tactics, their defense will have a lot of loopholes. At that time, Manchester United only needs to kick out their feelings, and they will enter a few if they want to?
There is no problem with tactics, but the players who play the tactics are stunned.
Ferguson knows this situation, and Liverpool head coach Benitez certainly knows it. In fact, he just took advantage of Manchester United's inattention at the beginning to let the team hit a wave. It's like a gamble. If you win the bet, you will be happy. If you lose the bet, it's just let Manchester United enter one, or Manchester United will not even score a goal. Pu has a ball advantage in hand, and they can totally afford it.
And now?
Benitez won the bet. He smiled cheerfully in the coach's seat and didn't expect to give Gerald a gesture.
Ferguson saw the action. Old Jazz didn't understand what it meant, because it was obviously a previously formulated code code for Liverpool. He couldn't guess it, and he only saw that Gerrard received the signal and immediately told his other teammates on the court.
Soon, under the direction of the referee, Manchester United started the ball.
Then...
Ferguson understood the meaning of the code, and then he immediately scolded: "Fuck!!! Dog. Fuck Spanish bastard!!!" The old Jazz has always wanted to be rational, but the current situation is that the annoying Spanish bastard almost directly cut off Manchester United's hope of winning---
After the restart, Liverpool retreated from the whole line.
What does this mean? Ferguson, who has been the main coach for so many years, knows very well that the Spaniard just wants the team to start a defensive counterattack after sneaking a goal, and it is also a defensive counterattack of 'double insurance': Liverpool's ten players, including the goalkeeper, all come back to defend, only the No. 10 brunette boy. A man stood near the center line.
Such defensive strength, not to mention Manchester United, even the offensive power of Barcelona and Arsenal, it takes time and time to break the Liverpool fans. Luck.
Then, Benitez immediately made the next command, making Ferguson almost spit out a mouthful of blood in his heart.
Liverpool substitution: Traore, Cise; Harman, Louis. Under Garcia.
When the fourth official raised the substitution card twice in a row, Ferguson did not have much hope for the game. After Liverpool retreated from the whole line and replaced two forwards with two defenders, how much power and time does Manchester United need to invest to attack Liverpool's defense?
Moreover, there is mainly a gap between two balls!
That's two balls!
For a team at the level of Manchester United, it is very possible to hold on to the goal for the whole game. In just half a game, Liverpool has an iron barrel array. What else can Manchester United do?
What's more, Liverpool also put a very fast and personal No. 10 in the front court...
Can Manchester United really let go of the attack?
Ferguson has carefully studied the whole Liverpool team. With such a black-haired boy, in fact, Liverpool's defensive counterattack is the most threatening and utilitarian. That kind of game will be very bad, but Liverpool's defensive counterattack is the strongest, all because of this black-haired boy's speed and strength. Personal ability.
With this player, the opponent does not dare to let go of the attack. If the black-haired boy gets the ball in the front court and there are only one or two defensive players around, it almost means that tragedy is going to happen.
This kind of situation is what Ferguson hates to see most.
The old Jazz still saw the result, especially after Liverpool led two goals... In fact, if Liverpool poses such a reality at the beginning, Ferguson will have a headache, but he is not afraid. The main reason is that Manchester United can slowly turn around in the middle, stabilize the defense, and slowly find the opportunity to score.
But now, Liverpool is two goals ahead.
What should I do?
Manchester United players don't know that Ferguson knows that now Manchester United can only let go. They really have no good way. In the case of falling behind, all the initiative is in the hands of the Liverpool. They can only attack and let go of the attack. If they don't catch up with the score for only a minute, they don't have any initiative.
Attack!
With the words of head coach Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United immediately launched the fiercest offensive against Liverpool's backfield, three-way C. Ronaldo, Wayne. Rooney and veteran Giggs became the brightest people in the game. Their performance was very eye-catching and repeatedly made fans cheer and applaud.
Manchester United's attack at this time was extremely gorgeous. Liverpool could not raise their heads for a while. What's more, their ball possession rate was extremely high. According to statistics, in the next 20 minutes, Manchester United's ball possession rate was 97%, which was extremely high, even if it was the Premier League with the largest gap. That's the number.
This form of the game shocked Manchester United fans, and then their cheers became louder---
"This is the Red Devils Manchester United!"
"This is the game we want to see!"
"We can't raise our heads to Liverpool!"
......
This is the voice of Manchester United fans, but... Manchester United are not happy up and down. They are in pain!
Fans think that Manchester United has played morale and Manchester United, but what about the fact? Why is there such a situation now? Every player on the court, including many senior fans, can easily see that it is not Manchester United playing well, but Liverpool giving up the initiative to attack.
As a result, Manchester United had a chance to play.
How about that?
Manchester United has a high possession rate, but let's see how many times they have scored in Liverpool's penalty area? How many shots have you shot? How many times have you been within the scope of the door frame?
Camps, the commentator of Sky TV Sports Channel. Via gave a clear statistics to the fans in front of the TV: "... In the second half, Manchester United's possession rate was 73 percent, while Liverpool was only 27 percent; Manchester United's number of shots was four, the number of shots in the frame was one, the goal was zero, Liverpool's number of shots was two, the number of shots in the box was two, and one goal was one..."
That is to say, it seems that the scene is gorgeous, but the gap between the two teams that really threatens the number of goals is not big, and Liverpool still has an advantage in this regard, because later, using a counterattack opportunity, Don Jack kicked a long shot against the goalkeeper, but it was too straight to let the goalkeeper block it with his body.
What Manchester United fans don't know is that Manchester United is having a very difficult time on the court...
Ferguson regretted it!
Old Sir regretted letting Wayne. Rooney entered the game and regretted letting Ferdinand participate in the game. Such a completely unfavorable game allowed the two to complete Manchester United's debut and return to the first game respectively. You know, the first game has a great impact on a player's mental state.
For example, Rooney, a young man who is very active in the group stage of the Champions League, is now helpless at Manchester United. He feels that he should play on the bench, but now he feels very bad. In the face of Liverpool's "shameless defense" tactics, Rooney sometimes doesn't even know how to run.
Other Manchester United players don't know either...
The most important thing is that no matter which position they run to, it is difficult to get out of the gap. There are too many defensive players in Liverpool's half. It can be said that there is no gap for Manchester United to attack. What is the most important thing now?
It's the body!
In the face of such intensive defense, all the gorgeous technology is floating clouds, and don't look at the C who praises himself as having 'Portuguese gorgeous footwork'. Ronaldo looked decadent. This guy just wanted to break through in a row, but he passed one after another, one after another... The one in front followed again.
He is helpless.
and Fan. Ni's performance is very good. Why is that? Because of Fan. Ni Zhuang!
As an all-round center forward, Fan. There is no need to question Ni's physical fitness, even compared with Liverpool's central defender, Fan. Nidu didn't suffer at all. Although he can't be called a fish in water in the penalty area, he is also good. Occasionally, he can receive a pass, but so far, he has not got a good chance because he has been strictly guarded.
