Chapter 629 Cottage Bara
After the start of the game, Inter Milan first started the ball very steadily controlled the ball and gradually passed it back to its own backcourt. When Manchester United quickly pressed forward, the ball was divided into the side road, and the sideline continued to pass to the midfield.
At this moment, the strikers did not quickly rush to the hinterland of Manchester United, but kept a closer distance from the midfield, echoed each other, and slowly pushed the three lines to Manchester United's half.
Inter Milan's pass between players is very fast, because Manchester United's players are very fierce, and they are easy to be robbed if they don't pass quickly. But the overall formation is not fast, just like a bulldozer, because their legend is mainly horizontal, supplemented by vertical.
Because Inter Milan is not in a hurry to attack, after kicking off, they passed the ball for a full minute and a total of 20 kicks before being forced to pass the ball out of bounds by Manchester United. However, Inter Milan's three lines are closely combined at this moment. Players hardly need to return to defense quickly, and they can arrange the defense line by step to wait for Manchester United's attack.
If Inter Milan's attack is like a bulldozer, then Manchester United's attack is like a Ferrari sports car. The ball is uploaded from Sylvester's hand to the feet of Giggs. Then the ball runs at high speed. They also passed the ball more than a dozen times in a row, but it took only 30 seconds to pass to Inter Milan with a dense defense. It was broken by mistake in the middle of the penalty area.
After the ball returned to Inter Milan's feet again, the speed immediately slowed down. The ball kept passing in the midfield and backfield, and then slowly pushed forward. After encountering an interception in front, it immediately returned to the backfield until it was passed to the foot of goalkeeper Toldo.
Because Manchester United only arranged a striker for Fanny in this game, it is impossible to form a defender and goalkeeper against Inter Milan in the front court. The goalkeeper Toldo does not need to open a big foot. He passes the ball to his teammates like a defender, and then continues to pass it in the backcourt, waiting for the Manchester United players to come up.
If this kind of play is put in 10 years, any fan can immediately think of a team, that is, Barcelona, which mainly controls the ball and uses ball control as the lifeline. This is the iconic tactic of the later space team Barcelona, and now Jiang Mu is imitating Barcelona's tactics, and they also have this. Players who mainly control the ball implement this tactic. If there is any difference from the Barcelona in later generations, it is that the current Inter Milan lacks the ability to grab at a high level, and the passing is not so fast and familiar, more like the AC Milan in 2007.
However, this is the first time that the ball control tactic adopted by Jiang Mu has appeared. There is no precedent at all. Sir Ferguson does not know how to deal with this tactical play, and he does not know the weakness of this tactical play for a while, which makes Ferguson, who has always been proud of on-the-the-spot command, frown.
"Their playing style is a little strange, which is completely different from their original playing style. We are not ready to use it." Ferguson's assistant coach Roman finally couldn't stand it after playing for five minutes.
Ferguson's expression was grim and said, "Well, the court is changing rapidly. We met another extremely cunning Chinese, asking the players to play according to the original arrangement, focusing on me, and I donating what the opponent uses."
Roman nodded repeatedly and remained unchanged. This is also the most correct way for any experienced head coach to do when he encounters a sudden situation. At this time, it is better to wait for change than to change.
Manchester United are carefully observing and actively looking for ways to crack Inter Milan's tactics. Inter Milan control the ball under their feet according to the pre-match arrangement and drills, looking for loopholes in the opponent's defense, and preparing to carry out a fatal blow.
The ball control is a double-edged sword. The ball control side controls the ball under its feet, just like raising a sword. The opponent does not know where the sword will stab, or when the sword will be stabbed out, which will bring great psychological pressure to the party without the right to the ball.
However, the disadvantage of the control side is that once they are robbed by the opponent when passing the ball in the backcourt, the opponent can immediately face the defender line of the control side. It can be said that both the party who controls the ball and the side that steals the ball have a certain psychological pressure, depending on which side has stronger psychological endurance.
However, there is another point that Manchester United is very unfavorable, that is, it is the first time for them to face this kind of tactical play. They don't know how to deal with it. Normal people have a sense of fear about strange things, and Manchester United players are no exception, so Manchester United players seem to lack confidence in the game.
And Inter Milan had a full understanding of Manchester United's playing style before the game. They are very clear about how Manchester United's players run, how to pass the ball, and how to pass. This feeling of insight into everything makes Inter Milan's players play very confidently. After the beginning of the game, the situation was also firmly controlled by Inter Milan. Manchester United, which came to win with momentum, gradually lost its spirit in Inter Milan's ball control, and the scene became very passive. They could only rely on the personal abilities of Giggs, Van Nis and Beckham to complete the threatening attack.
After 15 minutes of the game, Inter Milan has become more profiant with this ball control. They now have more time to move forward, the formation is gradually pressing forward, and the transmission at the front of Manchester United's penalty area has become more.
Among Manchester United's three lines, the weakest is their guard line. In fact, Manchester United's guard line is not bad, but mainly unstable. Left-back Sylvester is too young, central defender Blanco is too old, and goalkeeper Bats sometimes has a divine performance, but sometimes there will be low-level butter hands in the group stage. At that time, it was because of Battes' butter hand that Manchester United lost twice to A Coruña.
With such a group of defenders behind him, it is more than enough to deal with the strikers of the Premier League, because Manchester United's midfielders and strikers are very strong, but it is a little difficult to deal with these giants in the Champions League. Manchester United has encountered a lot of problems in the group stage. Now they have reached the quarterfinals and face a world-class striker like Inter Milan. With the midfield, their defense line seems so difficult that their own midfielders dare not dare to boldly devote themselves to the attack.
Inter Milan began to pass the ball in their midfield and backfield, which did not have much impact on Manchester United's defense. When Inter Milan passed the ball near Manchester United's penalty area, Manchester United's defense was a little unbearable.
In the 17th minute of the game, Seedorf suddenly made a direct pass. Ronaldinho passed behind Sylvester, forming a breakthrough, but the edger raised the offside flag, but the slow-motion replay can be seen that it was a good ball. At the moment of Seedorf's pass, Rona Erdinho is not offside.
Two minutes later, Inter Milan attacked the front court along the left side. Ronaldinho leaned to the penalty area to find a high speed and rushed to Ronaldo behind Blanco and Johnson. This time, Bats hit firmly and held the ball.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Inter Milan passed the ball to the front court in the rush of Manchester United. Ronaldinho held the ball to face Keane, who threatened to break his legs before the game.
In the face of Keane, who rushed over like a fierce god, Ronaldinho really didn't dare to fake it. He quickly changed his direction, passed the ball to Sanetti, who was assisted on the side, and quickly rushed past Keane.
However, Keane played very depressed in the first 20 minutes, because he, an interceptor and steal expert, has almost nothing to do. Inter Milan does not do one-on-one at all, mainly continuous passing. When he grabbed it, Inter Milan had already passed the ball to the side, or passed it back to himself. In the backcourt, Keane's strength was nowhere to be used.
Seeing Ronaldinho running past him, Keane rudely bumped his body across and knocked Ronaldinho to the ground.
However, at this time, the game was tense and fierce. Sanetti held the ball against Sylvester, and Ronaldo pulled the side to catch it. Manchester United's defense was facing a major test. The eyes of the referee Merck and the lineman were attracted to the side, and no one noticed that Ronaldinho was violated by Keane.
Sylvester's defensive ability is actually not bad. What's bad is only experience. The previous breakthroughs made the French guy summarize his experience. When Sanetti was about to break through, he suddenly boldly shoveled and kept the ball.
Manchester United paid attention to passing the ball, and Sylvester did not forget to pass the ball to his teammate Beckham after he fell to the ground. When the opponent attacks and presses forward on the three lines, if Sylvester can pass the ball to Beckham, with Beckham's accurate to a centimeter long pass, he can create a threatening attack.
But Sylvester lay on the ground with limited vision. When passing it to Beckham, he did not find Ronaldo running towards the side at high speed, and Ferneville, who was watching Ronaldo, did not keep up with Ronaldo. Just as Beckham was about to get the ball, Ronaldo also arrived at high speed and snatched the ball from behind.
At this moment, Manchester United is at a critical moment of offensive and defensive conversion. With a rich team like Manchester United, the playing style is mature and the offensive and defensive conversion is very fast. After Sylvester's successful steal, Manchester United's players have begun to turn forward. When the ball is passed to Beckham, the striker and midfielder have begun to run.
But at this time, Inter Milan's counterattack also began. Ronaldo held the ball and quickly went to the bottom, Sanetti moved to the middle, Rekoba and Sedorf inserted into the penalty area, Ronaldinho waited at the front of the penalty area, and Inter Milan instantly formed a situation of besieging the penalty area.
Ronaldo almost completed the cross without defense. The ball crossed a very fast arc around the front point defender Blanco and went to the middle to the middle.
The average goalkeeper will not intercept such a pass, because it is too fast and too difficult to grasp. Once it can't be intercepted, the empty goal will be exposed to the opponent, but Butters is not an ordinary person. This is a goalkeeper who wants to be a racing driver. This is a guy who dares to urinate behind the door. He decisively strikes to get the ball at this time. .
Consciously, Butters's judgment is correct, because Blanco obviously can't intercept, and Recoba is very likely to grab this landing point. It's an adventure, but it's worth it.
But Ronaldo passed the ball fast and swirling. Bats pounced on the ball, but did not hold it. The ball slipped out of his hand. Recoba, who had rushed over to grab the point, felt that the good opportunity was lost. He was regretful. Suddenly, he saw the ball rolling under his feet, and he almost subconsciously blocked it with his foot. Next, that's enough. The ball changed its direction and rolled into the empty door slowly.
