Chapter 114 Fierce Confrontation
In today's game, C Ronaldo's position on the field is more like a right winger. He and Giggs take turns to hit Barcelona's side. There is no complicated penetration in the middle and dazzling pass cooperation. After the start of today's game, he can't see the orders he always likes to make in the game. The dazzling personal disc show, Manchester United often passes two or three, and the football reaches the side, and then the two sides hang the football in and head the ball.
Such a simple offensive tactic largely avoided the midfield competition. Manchester United took the initiative to lead the war to two sides, and C Ronaldo suddenly appeared on the right side, and Giggs returned to his old position on the left side. This tactical arrangement is definitely a strange move, and Ferguson also dares to use a strange move in the finals. This is not the first time.
"Cristiano Ronaldo!! Beautiful! His speed is so fast that Silvio can't stop him! Today's Portuguese young man is full of energy. The opening just gave us the feeling of a tiger out of a cage! Look, the Portuguese passed the ball and hung it into the penalty area!! Li Yu! He grabbed this point - beautiful! Valdes' save is also very beautiful! Corner kick! At the beginning of the game, Manchester United got the first corner of the game!"
Giggs's corner kick passed into the penalty area. Vidic jumped high and headed the ball in front of Yaya Toure, but unfortunately it was a little off.
"The game has only lasted for 5 minutes, and Manchester United have two shooting opportunities. As soon as Manchester United came up, they focus on two sides. It can be said that Ferguson is very accurate. If Barcelona has any weakness, then the lack of defender Barcelona's high-altitude ball is their shortcoming. Maybe he Our skills at the foot of the ground are so excellent, so some of them disdain to head the ball. Let's work hard in this regard. The commentators of Sky TV said sarcastically that it was obvious that the English were very satisfied with Manchester United's performance after the opening, which could also be heard from the singing of Manchester United fans on the scene.
Looking at the impact of Manchester United on Barcelona's sidelines, Guardiola on the sidelines couldn't sit still. He immediately stood up and shouted loudly on the field. After shouting, he was still playing. It is estimated that only Barcelona players can understand such a complicated and messy gesture, and then Yaya-tu Ray and Silvio nodded to understand the coach's intention.
Barcelona obviously does not adapt to this slippery field as fast as Manchester United. In the face of Manchester United's offensive, the opening is a little awkward.
In the 11th minute of the game, Giggs broke through Pujol's defense from the side. This time, the captain of Barcelona underestimated Manchester United veteran Giggs. He was a little too impatient to grab and was immediately formed a breakthrough by Giggs' dexterous buckle. Then the Welsh veteran made an internal cut, but there was no internal cut, but Pass it directly and hang the football into the penalty area!
The Manchester United captain strictly implements Ferguson's high-ball tactical intention.
Just look at Rooney jumping high in the crowd. He grabbed the front of Yaya Toure and rubbed the ball after the header. Then everyone saw Li Yu jumping at the second point and headed the goal!!
"Roney! Wonderful ferry! Li Yu's judgment on the second point is simply unparalleled. The ball and him seem to have formed a tacit understanding in the air! WOWOWO - Attack the door! Valdes! Save it beautifully!"
Valdes held Li Yu's header out of the crossbar, which shocked the Barcelona fans at the Rome Olympic Stadium in a cold sweat.
And Manchester United fans held their heads regretfully. This is the second threatening attack by Manchester United after the opening!
At this time, Li Yu made the same move as the Manchester United fans in the stands. He was also regretful and regretful. He thought he could score a goal just now!
"Thank you, Valdes! When the whole Barcelona team did not enter the state of the game, his wonderful save saved Barcelona twice!" The commentator in Barcelona said with a little fear.
The corner kick was still led by Giggs, and the football seemed to be a boomerang, hanging into the penalty area. The landing point of this football is very good, it is the front point.
Li Yuhong's figure suddenly accelerated and went straight to the front point. At the moment of the single start, Li Yu had got rid of the pull of Sylvigno around her, jumped high, and made a lion shaking his head in the air.
This time, Valdes made a mistake in his judgment. He came out of the door and planned to pick up the football in the air, but he didn't expect Li Yu to kill in an instant and rub out a hanging door. Valdes, who was shocked, could only turn his head and look at the goal, hoping that the ball could be higher than the crossbar.
The commentator is ready to cheer for the goal, and the Manchester United fans can't help cheering.
But I heard a 'bang', and the football hit the beam fiercely!!
Then, the ball bounced back to the door, and Pujol quickly kicked the football out of the penalty area.
Li Yu also felt that the goal was bound to be scored. He raised his hand in the air and was about to cheer and score a goal, but he saw the football hit the crossbar, and then was relieved by Pujol.
Li Yu kicked two feet with regret, and then grabbed the wet hair to vent her dissatisfaction.
"The crossbar blocked the ball. This time, Valdes can do nothing, but the crossbar saved Barcelona. Is God spending the night in Barcelona tonight?" Sky TV commentator Leiinkel said helplessly that after the start of the game, although Barcelona has not entered the state because of the bad venue, the Spaniards are also very lucky. The goalkeeper Valdes just now is like a help. This time, Valdes is obviously a misjudgment. But at this time, the beam saved Barcelona again. What the hell!
The game continues.
Seeing Barcelona, a world-famous attack, after the start of the game, it was actually suppressed by Manchester United. The game was almost 15 minutes, and he didn't even shoot decently. Many commentators were surprised.
"The bad venue situation made Barcelona passive as soon as it came up! This is not the way. If Manchester United seizes the opportunity and score a goal first, it will be very passive for Barcelona.
In fact, this is what Ferguson thinks. He knows that there will be a period of indifference for Barcelona. Then, this period of time is an excellent offensive opportunity for Manchester United. If Barcelona can take advantage of this period of not adapting to the field and seize the opportunity to score a goal, then Manchester United will have a psychological advantage. In the next game, if Barcelona becomes impatient because of conceded goals, it will be even more wonderful, and a Barcelona with an unbalanced mentality will not be difficult to deal with.
Ferguson's plan, of course, Guardiola will not be unclear on the coach's seat on the other side, but at this moment, Guardiola can't do anything. The slippery field is the same for the players of both teams, and it takes time to adapt. The problem is Barcelona's feet. The technology is too dependent. This is a problem that can't be solved. Barcelona is in this style, which makes the Barcelona players on the field attack like Manchester United, which is likely to be not as good as the current scene!
Moreover, Guardiola also saw that although the game scene is still a little passive, Barcelona's performance is much better than in the first few minutes. That is to say, his Barcelona has gradually adapted to the field situation and has gradually begun to get on the right track!
Guardiola believes that as long as the team starts to get on the right track, Manchester United is not Barcelona's opponent, and the crazy Barcelona machine can crush any opponent!
Harvey organized an attack in the middle. In the face of Carrick's grab, he divided the football to Iniesta on the side, and then inserted it forward by himself. Iniesta passed the ball to him again, and the two made a two-to-one.
Carrick immediately hesitated for a moment, and finally followed Harvey's footsteps.
Harvey made a fake move to pass the ball to Iniesta again. Carrick immediately stretched out his foot to intercept, but saw Harvey shake his feet and hit the football to Busquets inserted behind him.
The Barcelona brain, which is like a fish in water in the midfield, seems to be back!
Busquets stopped the ball with his beautiful chest, and then picked it gently. The football flew over Evra's head, while Busquets ran from the other side. Henry headed the ball back in the penalty area. After Busquets was in place, it was directly volleyed in the air. There was a bounce in front of the football, and the ball jumped out again. Shocked by the cold sweat of Van der Sar, the goalkeeper was afraid of this sudden shot in front of the door.
"Barcelona players have gradually adapted to the field. They can already make amazing and wonderful cooperation for the audience here. This is the place we are familiar with!" The commentator in Barcelona shouted excitedly.
Although Busquets's shot finally missed the goalpost, Barcelona's wonderful offensive cooperation won a burst of applause from Barcelona fans. Everyone can see that Barcelona has stabilized their position. Seeing this, Barcelona's fans are also in a lot of mood. This is the Barcelona they are familiar with. Such a Barcelona can defeat any opponent!
"Barcelona has come out of the discomfort after the opening. Now, both teams have entered the state. It depends on who can seize the opportunity first and score the goal first!"
The game seems to return to the rhythm that Barcelona people like. Barcelona players are no longer so anxious. They slowly kick the technical football that they are used to. By constantly inverting their feet and amazingly passing the running position, they seek the opportunity of the latter fatal pass and even the second hit.
On the sidelines, Guardio, who watched this scene, breathed a long sigh of relief, and the pressure on the young commander in the passive stage at the beginning was finally relieved!
Ferguson frowned slightly and failed to grab the first goal while Barcelona had not yet entered the state, which made the old Scottish man feel very sorry. The next game will be a real competition.
Barcelona controls the ball.
Barcelona's football is like this. They pay attention to ground cooperation, the passing and cutting of football and dazzling back and forth. The right to control the ball is always at the feet of their players. In this and backwards, they are also looking for the fleeting killing!
Like a top assassin hiding in the dark, optimistic about the opportunity to kill, suddenly the whole team accelerated the pace, a completely kill hit!
At this moment, Iniesta got the ball in the midfield. He was not in a hurry, but went back and forth. The football reached Harvey's feet, who immediately handed the football to Messi, who withdrew the ball.
At this time, the cheers from the stands of Barcelona fans at the Rome Olympic Stadium were much louder. This Argentine young man is now the favorite of Catalonia. The media and fans regard him as the king of Barcelona, which is why Barcelona sold Ronaldinho at the beginning. The reason is that we have younger and more lethal geniuses, so Ronaldinho, who is in a poor private life and in a declining state, can leave.
Messi's feet moved very fast, and his speed was also very fast. With one acceleration, the 'flea' broke through Park Zhixing's side. Park Zhixing had stretched out his legs to intercept, but he didn't touch anything.
This surprised the Koreans. When I met him last time, the little man seemed to have grown a lot. Thinking of this reason, the Korean couldn't help but take a look at Li Yu and couldn't help comparing it again. One was his teammate and the other was the opponent on the field. What strength and growth speed did the two have? He It can be said that I know more about it.
Li Yu? Messi?
Now it seems that Argentina's small man is more mature on the field, and his technical actions are also more reasonable. However, when it comes to the growth rate, there is no doubt that it is still Li Yu. In a team, although they are not often together, they can still often feel Li Yu's progress when practicing together. This is more. What a terrible growth rate. Almost a few weeks later, you will know another killer on the field. This may be the reason why other teams in the Premier League can't limit Li Yu's goal at all in the second year of the Premier League.
A brief sigh of distraction made Park Ji-sung realize his position again. He is a diligent blue-collar player in Manchester United. He can appear wherever he can't run!
Now, Manchester United's defense is still relatively tight. Evra immediately blocked Messi's way forward. Messi saw that there was no good chance to break through. He made a breakthrough fake move and passed the football to Iniesta!
This time, Barcelona fans finally waited for their own time, and the applause in the stands was also very loud. Iniesta's position in the eyes of Barcelona fans is constantly rising, especially when Xiaobai can score key goals, which is almost the same as Xiaobai's situation in the national team. In the past, Iniesta often didn't notice him in the field and didn't know what important role he played in the team. Now, after scoring, people realize the importance of Xiaobai in the team.
Seeing Iniesta dribble the ball, Barcelona fans in the stands will certainly not spare their applause.
Iniesta leaned sideways against Vidic. He stepped on the ball with his outer foot. This action is also one of the signature movements of Ronaldinho. Obviously, Xiaobai has also learned this trick now, which gives Iniesta more offensive options, because it is convenient to make all kinds of movements, whether it is passing the ball or It is difficult for defensive players to touch football at the first time.
Vidiqi was considering how to intercept the ball. In this way, he was leaned against Iniesta, and it was difficult to form an effective interception from the back of the side.
This is equivalent to the dominance of football and the dominance of attack. At this moment, it is at Iniesta's feet. You know, although Iniesta is called Xiaobai, it only needs his inspiration, and the score on the field may be rewritten.
Iniesta suddenly leaned back, then quickly turned around, passed from the left side of Vidic, and then strode to catch up with the football in people's exclamations.
"God... How did he do it? How did he break through and succeed?"
Not only the commentator asked, but many fans at the scene still didn't know how Iniesta broke through, and they also recorded what happened just now in slow motion.
It turned out that when Iniesta turned and ran to the right, his dragged foot was very cleverly hit on the football. The football just rolled over the other side of Vidic. Iniesta accelerated and caught up with the football!
"This is simply a magical performance! This action reminds us of Ronaldinho, but now Xiaobai is equally excellent!" The commentator said with admiration, and then Iniesta poked the football, and Eto'o chased after the football.
All the way back to prevent Giggs came from the side, and then quickly shoveled a foot, but Etoo was already prepared. He poked the football forward, and then jumped up and flashed deftly.
African cheetah Eto'o wiped the ball into the penalty area and faced the goalkeeper directly.
On the other side, Ferdinand is staring at Henry, and there is no time to make up for the interception!
"It's over! Eto'o's single knife!! A chance for Barcelona!"
The commentator shouted, and the fans at the scene also shouted. Van der Sar was very experienced. The Dutch veteran attacked decisively. Eto'o seemed to be a little unprepared for such a quick attack. He chose to volley, but the football hit Van der Sar's right leg and rolled out of the bottom line!
Barcelona fans sighed with regret. This was the best opportunity after Barcelona's opening, but Eto'o didn't grasp it!
"What a pity! This is Barcelona's best chance to score so far! Their offensive began to get stronger and stronger, and the game began to become more and more exciting!!"
Eto'o held his head in his hands and was very sorry and annoyed that he didn't kick the ball in. He looked at the turf under his feet. Just now, when he poked the ball over Giggs, when he jumped up and landed, he slipped under his feet and almost fell down, which made the subsequent shot so hasty.
