Midfielder.

Chapter 140 Give you freedom
A damn red card, a helpless penalty, Ferguson heard the cheers of tens of thousands of people at this moment, and he absolutely couldn't calm down.

Ferguson's mood fell to the bottom of the valley the moment Fortune kicked out from behind. This may be the first time he felt uneasy.

"Will you lose?" When seeing Deco's penalty pass through Howard's ten fingers, even the always tough Sir Alex couldn't help asking himself this way.

As he himself said before the game, the Porto team is difficult to deal with, and now the damn score has verified his words.

Manchester United's lead only lasted 10 minutes. In fact, a few minutes ago, the opponent had a chance to equalize the score. God has saved them once.

The full-back will become a scar on his defense. Sir Alex had this idea before the start of the game, and it was very strong.

But what can Ferguson do now?Is Maldini fantasized for Manchester United out of thin air?If he could, he would certainly not refuse.

The old man has been driven crazy by the damn injury. He can only let a left midfielder withdraw to play a full-back, and there is really no other way.

In addition to hurrying up the limited time and telling O'Shea what to do on the field, he also had to appease Ruud van Nistelrooy who had just been substituted.

After all, Manchester United's striker now depends on this Dutchman to destroy the city, and he doesn't want this prolific killer to have any negative emotions.

After losing Beckham, the current Manchester United team can't afford too much trouble, and Ferguson doesn't want to let anyone go easily.

Ferguson has not forgotten Stam's lesson. He doesn't want to have that bad experience again, although it is only for his so-called coaching authority.

"If that kid belongs to me now, maybe I won't have so many scruples about employing people." Ferguson sighed secretly when he looked at Lin Yi.

The Portuguese boy in his team is very talented, but he always lacks a little bit of tempering, and he also lacks a little bit of ruthlessness that is unique to the Premier League.

If that kid can be as ruthless as a desperado in scrambling and attacking like Lin Yi, maybe it will be more exciting.

This stubborn old man was thinking at this moment, what kind of situation would it be if Manchester United lost in the summer transfer battle.

Many people may think that he is just an underage kid, but now Ferguson can see the future from him, which is a kind of hope.

But now many people are interested in this future. As for whether he will be held by Manchester United, even Ferguson himself has no idea.

That French guy who kept a group of decent ladies in captivity, that Russian guy who waved a lot of euros, alas, there are so many opponents who compete with him.

But now Ferguson is not in the mood to think about the distant future, at least the kid in front of him is definitely a big trouble for Manchester United and him.

If this kid can't be dealt with quickly, the Manchester United team will still suffer a blow. Ferguson doesn't want to fall twice in a row on one person.

He had to find a suitable way to restrain Lin Yi, but Manchester United, with one less man, might be a bit stretched to do this now.

What the unlucky Fortune will be thinking in the locker room at this time, I am afraid no one will be interested to know, especially the carnival Porto people.

They only knew that Lin Yi's miraculous performance gave Porto the chance to tie the score, and they wanted to cheer for the little black-haired guy.

"Lin Yi!", "Lin Yi!", this crazy voice has filled the entire dragon stadium, and everyone is shouting with their hands raised high.

Even Deco, who successfully scored a penalty kick, might not have this kind of treatment. At this moment, there is only one protagonist in the Dragon Stadium, and that is Lin Yi.

This is not the first time that the Dragon Stadium erupted in such crazy cheers for that kid, but this time the voice was more ferocious.

However, when Lin Yi was surrounded by his teammates, he still didn't forget to take a look at the tough Irishman. The duel between the two of them was not over yet.

Anyway, now Lin Yi is the bastard who eats the weight - he is determined, as long as Keane doesn't leave the middle, then don't care who Ferguson replaces.

He will try his best to kill the other party, just like he did with Fortune, one will kill the other, and two will kill the other, he will definitely do what he says.

Now that Manchester United's defense has allowed itself to successfully knock a hole, there is no reason to give up this opportunity to expand the results.

With one less man, the Manchester United team will definitely be more careful in defense, but Lin Yi is not worried about this problem, as long as he is human, he will definitely make mistakes.

Just like the unlucky Fortune just now, Lin Yi didn't believe that O'Shea, who played in a hurry, would be more difficult to deal with than the starting Fortune.

It's just that O'Shea, who was replaced, may not know what kind of devastation he will encounter. He probably won't be far from the moment of regret.

At this time, Ferguson would rather replace the striker than dismantle the double midfielder easily, in order to survive the rest of the first half.

He doesn't want to lose the lead, and then be played by the Porto team to a small climax, to bloom everywhere, Manchester United must guard the middle.

Although the Porto team is playing fiercely on the wing, Gary Neville and Brown are guarding the center, and there is no chance to score.

Even if Lin Yi created murderous intentions on the side twice just now, McCarthy, who was responding in the middle, failed to find a chance to shoot. If it weren't for the penalty kick, maybe Manchester United would still be in the lead now. Ferguson bit him to death. He couldn't let The center was pierced by the opponent's pass.

You can let the opponent look for passing opportunities on the wing, but the defense in the middle cannot be relaxed. If there is a mistake here, it will not be a draw.

Originally, the Porto team had accumulated enough giants in the midfield. If there is a disconnect between the midfielder and the central defender, then this kind of offensive tide will directly pour into Manchester United's defense. Ferguson knows how dangerous it is situation, so he would rather stick to the middle.

Even if the price of this tenacious defense is to fight the two flanks, he will not hesitate. If he loses the frontal defense, what awaits him will be a rout.

You have to hold on for the rest of the first half, even if you look a little embarrassed on the scene, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't lose the ball, it's acceptable.

In less than 10 minutes, the first half of the game is coming to an end, and Ferguson is ready to rearrange his tactics after returning to the locker room.

But one person didn't want to give him this chance. Mourinho, who hadn't spoken on the sidelines after scoring the goal, started to act.

Seeing that Manchester United made such an adjustment plan, Mourinho keenly felt that Ferguson was ready to delay, but he didn't want to.

"McCarthy, go up to Manchester United's penalty area!" The guy who had been restraining his performance finally issued the first order.

"Deco, follow behind McCarthy and get as close to the penalty area as possible. I need your shot to directly threaten the Manchester United goalkeeper."

"Maniche, try to stay close to the middle, don't hide your long shot, I'm not used to not hearing the muffled sound of your volley in the game."

"Any frontcourt players who can participate in the attack should focus their attack on the center. Now it's the Porto team's turn to attack."

Although Mourinho's shout was not loud, it was enough for his players to hear clearly, and this guy had already waved his fist on the sidelines.

"Attack! I want to see your offense! Just like before, use offense to crush those Englishmen! Don't let the offense stop!"

Hearing Mourinho's arrangement, the Porto players who are now in a state of excitement are like a pack of hungry wolves, ready to rush up and knock down their opponents at any time, and then show their sinister fangs, fiercely Bite down until the other party suffocates.

Letting them attack desperately at this time is a pretty NICE decision. These guys are already ready to attack Manchester United's defense.

But when the assistant coach Brito saw Mourinho issuing these orders, he was at a loss. This didn't seem to be the safe way of playing just now.

Did that goal get his partner a little carried away or excited?Isn't he afraid that this is a repeat of the mistakes made in the first ten minutes?
But at this time, Brito could no longer stop Mourinho from giving orders. He could only pray that this wave of offense would not be like the beginning of the game.

Otherwise, the spirit that has been accumulated with great difficulty will definitely be completely broken up by the opponent, and at that time, everything will become out of control.

But when Lin Yi heard Mourinho shouting to others, he knew very well what this uncle, who had been quiet on the coaching bench for a long time, wanted to do.

Lin Yi is not as worried as Brito. He can even understand the subtext behind Mourinho's tactical arrangements in the first place.

Containment, Mourinho dares to press the frontcourt players like this now, just to contain Keane and Butt in the middle of the defense and not move.

The main attack of the Porto team seemed to be moved to the middle, but Lin Yi understood that Mourinho didn't give him any instructions, just let him move freely.

To pile up those guys in the middle is to tie up Manchester United's defensive strength, and leave the two sides to Lin Yi to handle by himself.

As for the direction of breakthrough, choose the right flank guarded by Phil Neville, or choose to continue to torture the new O'Shea on the left flank.

Let Lin Yi decide for himself, and Deco was assigned a task by Mourinho, but he just ignored Lin Yi, as if he had forgotten about the kid.

"Give him the greatest freedom, without any restraints, and with ten minutes left, I'll let you kid dominate the game with your feet."

Mourinho did not say these words, but he has already told Lin Yi with his actions that absolute freedom is the greatest trust in you.

Before Lin Yi kicked off, he turned around and took a look at Mourinho, and then gave the wretched uncle a thumbs up with a very concealed movement.

"That shrewd kid." Mourinho didn't miss this scene on the sidelines, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

He understood that Lin Yi already knew the tactical arrangement, so the next ten minutes would be the moment of that kid's performance, and it might be very exciting.

Ferguson replaced Ruud van Nistelrooy, which means he has put all his offensive hopes on Giggs and Saha's quick counterattack.

However, the downside of this arrangement is that Carvalho and Jorge Costa are liberated and can start to assist their sideways in defense.

The liberated Ferreira and Valente can start to wreak havoc on the wing, and the Porto team now has to completely open the offensive corridors of the two sides.

In particular, Lin Yi, Ferreira, and Alenichev, who were concentrated on the left side of Manchester United, wanted to completely penetrate the flank of the "Red Devils" in one breath.

Porto began to press heavily in the middle, and completely overwhelmed Scholes with the advantage of numbers. The helpless Jiangtou can only be forced to retreat now.

Manchester United, who had already lost control of the midfield, completely lost control of the midfield this time, and now even the only organizer has disappeared.

Saha and Giggs could only retreat to the midfield to look for counterattack opportunities. After the opening stage, Manchester United was once again suppressed by Porto.

But this time is different from the opening period. At the beginning, Manchester United lured the Porto team to attack, but now they don't want to do that.

Just conceding a goal made the morale of the Manchester United team a little low, and now that there is one less person, it makes them feel very awkward.

Porto's penetration began to become faster and faster, their passing resumed their usual smoothness, and Manchester United's defense became more and more difficult.

Being pressed back by the opponent at this time is definitely not good news. The tough Keane can only rely on his own roar to support the crumbling defense.

Especially for the newly replaced O'Shea, he hadn't even gained a firm foothold. In his first defense, he was forced by Alenichev once on the wing.

The Russian's breakthrough this time was entirely relying on his own speed to forcibly break into the side lane guarded by O'Shea. The Russian side laner, who is only a little over 1.7 meters tall, has no problem at all when facing the Irishman who is over 1.9 meters tall. A sense of fear, after a fake move, he directly accelerated to overtake.

When O'Shea turned around and tackled, Alenichev's cross had already been hoisted to the edge of Manchester United's small penalty area. McCarthy and Deco hit the goal with a double ghost.

In the battle for the header, Brown, who had a slight advantage in height, missed again. McCarthy grabbed the football in front of him and shook his head directly.

But this time Howard didn't let the Manchester United fans worry anymore. His hands firmly grasped McCarthy's header without any mistakes.

"Wow, our South African diamond jumps really high! He warned those Englishmen again that the high-altitude ball is not in your control!"

The commentator who was in charge of the scene was completely let go now, and he began to heighten the atmosphere of the Dragon Stadium with his sharp lips like a knife.

Evening the score and pressing the opponent to attack wildly, this scene has already made the fans excited, and it is estimated that even the air in the Dragon Stadium can be ignited now.

However, Manchester United did not always suffer passively. After Howard grabbed McCarthy's header, he threw a long-distance hand throw very smartly, launched a quick counterattack directly from the goalkeeper position, and caught the ball with his back in the midfield. After Scholes received the ball, he immediately made a big long pass.

The Frenchman Saha, who had been idling on the sidewalk for a long time, finally caught an opportunity for him to run wildly, and he accelerated with full horsepower.

But when Saha grabbed the first point and controlled the football, Carvalho greeted him with a fierce shovel, and the football was directly kicked out of the sideline.

There was no second point of support, and not too many people participated in the offense. When Ferguson saw this scene from the sidelines, he was a little helpless.

When Saha pressed at full speed, only Giggs quickly cut in on the other side to prepare to respond, while the others were still hovering in their own half.

This attack was indeed a quick counterattack, and the speed was also displayed, but it did not have the sharp feeling of the opening stage, it was more like grabbing an opportunity.

Just like what Porto did in the opening stages, all the chances were due to the opponent's mistakes or hard work, and it felt really bad.

The offense cannot threaten the opponent enough, and the result is that the pressure on the defensive end is increasing. Just like before, the opponent's attack is very fierce.

The tall O'Shea is an all-rounder, and his performance last season was also very eye-catching, but it is this all-rounder status that made O'Shea confused after the start of this season.Injuries caused him to lose his main position, and his defensive strength on the wing began to decline significantly.

"Flying on the wing, O'Shea! O'Shea!" Such cheers have been hard to hear at Old Trafford, replaced by only boos.

Just like before, when O'Shea played full-back, once he encountered such a small but skilled wide player, there would always be problems.

Alenichev's breakthrough can successfully penetrate his defense, so what about the black-haired kid?Ferguson didn't dare to think about it now.

And not only the wing defense has become Ferguson's heart disease, but even the air defense alarm in the middle has sounded. Brown has lost three times in a row in the aerial confrontation with McCarthy. As long as the two of them compete for the header, Brown never From the beginning until now, he has never won against the South African.

Strong, fast, and accurate in grabbing points, and more importantly, Porto's side attack is flourishing, and the confrontation in the center will continue.

"Wes! Keep your spirits up! Don't let that black guy grab the header again!" Ferguson yelled at Brown from the sidelines.

Although Brown nodded to show that he understood what Sir Alex meant, it is estimated that even he himself is not sure now. Without the help of Ferdinand in the middle, Manchester United has lost four such players in the last few league games. Headed balls, and all missed from Brown's defense.

No one can guarantee what will happen in the next defense. The last 10 minutes of the first half have now become a hell for Manchester United.

And there was a little guy who stabbed an unusually vicious knife just after the gate of hell was closed. . .

(Oden missed another season due to injury, and it is estimated that his NBA career is coming to an end... This tragic old man, alas...)
