Chapter 135 The Trouble of the Porto Team

Although Roy Keane wanted to use his toughness and ferocity as a weapon to keep the little black-haired guy away from his defense zone, but Lin Yi responded with the same toughness, and that ferocious tackle did not dissuade him On the contrary, his aggressive thoughts ignited his persistence.

Even after receiving Maniche's throw-in, he failed to break through Roy Keane's entanglement, but his breakthrough energy still made the opponent frown. This kid obviously failed to achieve his goal. The kind of guy who won't give up, unless you really kill him, there will be no end.

Watching the black-haired kid pat the shoe prints on the socks and get up from the turf again, he still leaned towards him with a stern face.

Roy Keane already understood that this time he also met a guy who is not afraid of death and is very difficult to deal with. He usually handles the tricks of those genius boys in the Premier League and rushes to deal with this little guy. It doesn't look like that It worked, and being tough didn't make him back down.

Roy Keane's kicks weren't vicious enough. He had dribbled the ball several times and knocked Lin Yi to the ground. Once, even the referee ran to the scene of the incident and gave him a stern verbal warning, but The black-haired boy seemed to be unaware of it, and he was still so stubborn.

Every time Lin Yi breaks through, he almost dares to confront Roy Keane without hesitation. It seems that he has made up his mind to knock the gap in Manchester United's defense from him. Not flinching, this head-to-head confrontation makes people scratch their heads.

"Boy, if you don't want to break your own leg, don't challenge my patience! Otherwise, I guarantee that you can walk back to the locker room by yourself when you are off!" Roy Keane didn't rub shoulders with each other. And when he passed by, he verbally warned Lin Yi.

But that kid didn't talk to Roy Keane at all. He would give his answer in the most practical way, that is, to try again to quickly pass by the opponent, even if he would be overwhelmed by the opponent's viciousness again. It doesn't matter if he is on the ground, he is just smashing the Irishman now.

Lin Yi's persistence completely aroused Roy Keane's fierceness. Roy Keane was already very tough in defense.In the next few direct confrontations, he used his own iron leg to bring down Lin Yi at least a few times. This was a lesson he wanted to teach that kid.

There are fouls and reasonable physical confrontation. As long as there is a chance for two people's bodies to touch, Roy Keane will make it difficult for Lin Yi.

But that little guy always gets up from the turf quickly after falling down hard, and then continues to use his own feet to pass in front of Roy Keane and score the ball, without any change, although There were successes and failures, but Lin Yi never stopped.

The confrontation between these two people seemed to have abandoned everything around them, and they concentrated all their energy on the physical entanglement, and each other won and lost, and no one took advantage, which made Roy Keane very depressed. It was probably the first time he had encountered such a desperate stalker.

Keane has seen many defenders who are as fierce as himself, but he has never seen a few team midfielders who love to fight against the midfielder so much.

"That is a very difficult kid, and he is very desperate. It seems very difficult for Keen to deal with him at once." I don't know what Roy Keen is thinking at the moment, anyway, sit When Ferguson looked at Lin Yi on the Manchester United coaching bench, he had a headache.

He was really worried that Roy Keane would get an unnecessary yellow card in the opening stage. After all, this is the home court of the Porto team, and the referee also has his own tendencies. If the action is too aggressive, maybe the referee Will it be enforced more strictly?

But Roy Keane and Lin Yi seem to be in a complete match. Before they decide the winner, there is probably no way to pull the two of them away. Unless one of them is sent off, otherwise, it will be very difficult. It could turn into a medieval classic duel, one-on-one.

Ferguson was very troubled by this kind of confrontation, because he had to throw the most solid lock on his defense line on a young boy, but he could only tacitly allow this situation to continue to develop. After all, Bart To switch defenses, don't know what will happen.

Bart can guard Deco in the first ten minutes, but that old guy may not be able to guard Lin Yi, that kid is too flexible, Bart who is too calm will be dizzy by his flexibility, especially when Lin Yiyue Ferguson didn't want to take such a risk when he was getting tougher.

Now Ferguson is gnashing his teeth with hatred for Mendes. The player he likes has become the biggest trouble for Manchester United because of a promise to stay. Sign a contract with Manchester United.

At the same time, the old man wanted to quickly recruit Lin Yi to his account. In the football world, a talented player may not be hard to find, but a talented and fighting guy is very rare. And not everyone has the heart that refuses to admit defeat.

Just like Roy Keane, this guy's skills are not top-notch in the Premier League. It can even be said that in many cases, this tough Irishman seems a bit rough and careless. He doesn't have delicate footwork, but you never can't The role of this guy in the Manchester United team.

Ferguson just likes to use this fierce, savage guy who is a bit rough, so even if there are many stars in his 92nd class, no one can replace the Irishman. A desperate temperament that is tough to the bone.

When other Manchester United players become overwhelmed, this Irishman can use his scolding and roaring to awaken the craziest impulse in the heart of the "Red Devils". He can drive the Manchester United team to maintain their enthusiasm for the game. , even the desire to fight.

If this tough Irishman could play in the 1999 Champions League final, maybe Bayern Munich would not have been able to suppress Manchester United's offensive on the field, and "Super Mario" Basler might not be on the field So chic and comfortable.

Of course, if Roy Keane could be on the field, then the most exciting moment of the Champions League may not be there, and Manchester United's Jedi counterattack at the last moment will not exist, but compared to such a heart-pounding counterattack, Ferguson I would rather let the rhythm of the game be controlled in my own hands.

A player who did not participate in the Champions League final was selected by the whole team to be the first to lift the trophy after the game. This in itself is a kind of affirmation to Roy Keane, and it also represents the strength of Manchester United on the football field. A natural temperament, very tough, and would rather die than give up.

This is the core strength that can lead the whole team. Roy Keane may not have such perfect skills and talents, but he must have the courage and spirit to fight to the end with any opponent. This little guy Lin Yi has this right now. A feeling of desperation, and very strong.

Especially when he faced Roy Keane, the confrontation between the two continued to the bone, and it was impossible for anyone to take a step back in the game.

If Ferguson used to pay more attention to this little guy's skills and game awareness, then at this moment, what he values ​​more may be the toughness shown by Lin Yi in the game, which is an innate instinct. It is difficult to polish such sharp edges and corners the day after tomorrow.

"Manchester United has never lacked this kind of toughness, but there are very few such people in this group of new players. Maybe this little guy is a good addition."

Part of Ferguson's attention has now been diverted to the summer transfer market. For the little guy Lin Yi, Sir Alex now has a sense of urgency that must be won, especially with the 92nd confidant he cultivated, the years are gradually getting better. When he passed away, he seemed more urgent.

"Peter must not be allowed to disrupt Manchester United's future plans again. Even if it costs a lot of money, he must bring this little guy to Manchester."

But that is something that needs to be considered this summer. Now Ferguson still needs to ensure that his team can retreat from the Dragon Stadium, otherwise the summer transfer fee will be a big problem. The Champions League gives each team a generous bonus. Still irresistible.

The confrontation between Lin Yi and Roy Keane was just a fragment of the first ten minutes of the game. Every corner of the entire court was filled with gunpowder smoke. It didn't take much advantage in the fight with Manchester United.

Playmakers like Lin Yi and Deco were targeted by their opponents with special personnel. The Porto team began to slow down, the rhythm of the game began to be out of their control, and the offense and defense on both sides began to balance. Even fell a little to the side of Manchester United.

And the Porto team is not only caught in constant entanglement with the opponent in the frontcourt, but even if there is a midfield combination of five people, it still does not give full play to the previous numerical advantage, and it is impossible Very good at pulling the opponent's defense.

It was originally a tactical arrangement of five arrows in the midfield, but now the only ones who can move freely are Maniche on the wing. Their movement space has been greatly compressed, and the steals and counters in the midfield range It became the most common type of shot in the competition.

Scholes is always looming around Costinha's side, making this Porto's organizational midfielder unable to participate in the offense well.Especially the cooperation between him, Lin Yi and Deco, and because of the intervention of Scholes, it became difficult to communicate.
The frontcourt is now basically left with Lin Yi, Deco, McCarthy and Maniche on the left who can mess with opponents in the half, but the effect is very limited.Especially McCarthy, he was firmly watched by the opponent's two defenders, and even the running route was blocked by the opponent.

After all, compared with Gary Neville, McCarthy is still lacking in strength. For the first time, the South African diamond has lost its due dazzling brilliance.

However, McCarthy's physical fitness still won him some room for movement, but the South African, who lacked passing support, failed to play the state of his recent crazy goals.The midfielder lost the passing fulcrum and there was no reasonable way out of the ball. These are the problems in the offense.

These problems also restrict the offensive efficiency of the Porto team on the field. They are still grabbing opportunities more often than creating them.

Manchester United's defense is very tough. Even if there is an occasional out of position situation, they will immediately relieve the crisis. In the first ten minutes, Porto did not leave any space at all, let alone any suitable shooting opportunities. The offensive line was completely cut off.

The mercury-like offense of the Porto team in the past is gone, and the Porto team appears to be very sluggish when transferring the ball and cooperating.There is a problem with the continuity of the offense that they are best at. Even after Deco gets the ball, he rarely gets the ball in the first place.

Manchester United's oppressive defense was very successful. They used their strong body and complete defensive system to lock the hands and feet of the Porto people.

Even the Porto team's on-site commentator said worriedly, "The opponent's defense is very fierce. Maybe we should change something now. If we continue to play like this, those English people will only become more comfortable, and we will Becoming more and more passive on the court."

It's not that the Porto team doesn't want to change. They attack so high because they want the game to be on a familiar track from the very beginning, just like the usual league, to control the rhythm of the game early and take advantage of their technical advantages To fight a war of attrition with the opponent.

But they obviously forgot who the team in front of them is. Manchester United is not the opponents in the Portuguese Super League. It is impossible for them to let the Porto team dictate their own tactics. Even the rhythm of the game must be in their own hands. It is impossible to let the opponent become the master.

Manchester United will do everything possible to disrupt the rhythm of Porto. Their rich experience makes them very clear how to interfere with the opponent, making the opponent feel at a loss and even panic. Not only did Porto's rush attack not achieve the desired effect, but also Leaving their midfield in danger of disconnection.

Although Lin Yi can often withdraw to get the ball organization.But the strength of one person will not make much difference to the normal game, not to mention that Lin Yi is always accompanied by a very difficult Roy Keane, he can't move freely in the crowd as usual shuttle.

Mourinho has stood on the sidelines since the beginning of the game. He has seen everything that happened in the past ten minutes. He also knows that the current situation of the Porto team is very dangerous. His hands and feet are tied, and his own backcourt can't provide much help.

The Porto team is now more like two sections broken down by the opponent. The midfield is the dividing line. The fight about 40 meters in front of the opponent's goal was predicted by Mourinho before the game, especially the two attacking midfielders and the two sides. The confrontation between the two midfielders was something he had thought of a long time ago.

It is impossible to open a gap from the hardest defensive line, so we can only look for opportunities in non-stop sports battles.

What the Porto team lacks most now is the diversity of offensive options. Usually, that is what the Porto team is best at, but today they did not show it at all in the first ten minutes of the game.Especially the wing corridor that Mourinho most wanted to open, has not been able to do so.

The opponent's left flank was originally an absolute loophole, and Fortune was a standard weakness, but now all this has become very troublesome.

When Alenichev faced Fortune alone on the wing, it was now a [-]-[-] confrontation. The Russian's skills are very good, but Fortune's pure man's physical fitness is also very good. He can Based in the Premier League, this kind of pure physical confrontation cannot be bad.

Therefore, the confrontation between them did not appear to be overwhelming.Mourinho originally expected Ferreira and Costinha to assist the offense on this side, but now it seems that this idea is basically useless, and Ferreira is now having difficulty even protecting himself.

In front of Ferreira is the old and spicy Ryan Giggs. When the sharpest wing knife in Wales comes to the top, the kind of fierceness is simply as fierce as a throat-slamming knife.Beware of his breakthrough speed, you also have to guard against the unpredictable fake moves of this guy.

Because you can't tell when he chooses to cut inside and when he chooses to pass from the bottom, and his shots are also all-round and multi-angle.

Giggs' quick assault on the left put a lot of pressure on Ferreira. He has been unable to push the defense forward, but was pinned down near the sideline by Giggs.This forced Alenichev to retreat helplessly to help defend, but it also seemed very difficult.

The speed of the Welshman is still like a flying knife, and the assault on the side can always blow a cool breeze.The left side was not only pushed back, but the South African Fortune, who was born as a full-back, also took advantage of this opportunity to boldly press forward and actively participate in the attack.

The transposition assault between Fortune and Giggs created a great crisis for Porto's side defense, and the two crosses sent by this guy were also very precise, even a bit super-level. , I can't see that this guy is the most unstable factor.

If Carvalho and Costa hadn't entangled Ruud van Nistelrooy with their hands and feet, it is estimated that Baia would have been confused by the various head kicks of the Dutch killer at this time.

Even so, the Dutch killer also performed a difficult volley shot at the rear of the penalty area. If the angle was not slightly off, he would have already scored the goal. This also scared Baia into a cold sweat.

Compared with Manchester United's flourishing offense, the Porto team is much inferior. In the first ten minutes, the Manchester United team shot four times, but the Porto team only had one.

It was still Lin Yi's breakthrough from Roy Keane at the top of the penalty area, but Deco's volley from the edge of the penalty area still failed to penetrate Howard's ten fingers, but Lin Yi kept up with the follow-up shot. , It also made Howard look at the kid very vigilantly.

Compared with Van Nistelrooy's three headers in the penalty area, this kind of shot opportunity is much worse in practical effect and less threatening.

Mourinho is now well aware that his Porto team have lost their sharpest touch, which is a big problem for them. . .

The two guys who can take the Porto team out of this trouble, I don't know if they can adjust themselves quickly and bring cheers to the stadium.

The black-haired boy got up from the turf again, as if he was trying to find the answer from the entanglement. . .

(Manchester United VS Villa, I don’t know if it will collapse at the last moment... Ferguson’s 11th anniversary on November 6th, I hope this old man can sit in this position for a few more years...)
