Chapter 78 The Sharp Ronaldo

In this game, both sides played a 4-4-2 formation. For Manchester United, the goalkeeper position is still the older and more demonic Van der Sar.

Brown replaced Anderson as the starting right back, Evra continued to play left back.

Manchester United's starting central defender combination is still the solid combination of Ferdi Rand Gavidic.

In the midfield, Carrick was behind, Scholes was ahead, and Hargreaves and C. Ronaldo were on both sides.

Lu Xiaopang and No. 32 Beast Carlos Tevez will start as double centers.

For Inter Milan, due to the long-term absence of Rock Samuel and Cordoba, Inter Milan can only discharge the central defender combination of veteran Materazzi and Rivas.

Maicon, the main defender of the Brazilian national team, is on the right, and Chivu is on the left.

In the midfield, because Vieira sprained his ankle during training, Inter Milan discharged the Argentine double midfielder combination of Zanetti and Cambiasso, while the Serbian core Stankovic and Jingxuan's two front midfielders Location.

Ibrahimovic and veteran Crespo made their debut and formed Inter Milan's striker.

This game can be called a side-to-side duel. Manchester United's wing speed exploded, while Inter Milan is better at defending in the middle, especially today's change to 4-4-2, the originally weak side defense will change. more fragile.

Jingxuan and Stankovic must run in a wide range in this game to make up for the lack of numbers in the midfield.

And Manchester United also has hidden worries. Only Carrick is a late midfielder. Once Jingxuan or Stankovic's midfielder takes the ball calmly, it is easy to form a situation facing Manchester United's back line.

Therefore, Manchester United must try their best to control the ball, attack from the side, put pressure on Inter Milan's defense, and not give Inter Milan a chance to comfortably get the ball in the middle.

Of course, to achieve such an effect, the Manchester United midfielders also need a wide range of running and changing positions.

In short, this will be a battle of Tai Chi that ebbs and flows. Manchester United is playing speed and counterattack from the side.Inter Milan needs to reduce fearless passing and improve the ability to seize opportunities.

Manchester United took the lead in the first half, and both sides appeared cautious after the opening.

In the 2nd minute of the game, Maicon broke through Hargreaves from the right, came to the frontcourt, and passed a low and flat ball diagonally to the penalty area.

Vidic reacted very quickly and cleared the ball before Ibrahimovic.

Scholes protected the ball with his back in the frontcourt, leaning on Cambiasso and gave the ball to Ronaldo on the right.

At this moment, Jingxuan has come behind Ronaldo. Ronaldo speeds up to take the ball forward, leaning against Jingxuan behind him, a movement of stepping on a bicycle shakes off Chivu's defense, and his big foot passes diagonally into the penalty area.

Carlos Tevez scrambled to attack the goal 8 meters in front of the goal. Cesar made a superb save and instinctively reached out to block the ball out of the goal.

Rivas then kicked the ball out of the baseline and Manchester United won the left corner.

Scholes took a corner kick, and Ronaldo jumped high in front of Materazzi to attack the goal. The ball was very powerful, but it was a pity that it was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Looking at Ronaldo's ability to bounce and stay in the air, which is different from ordinary people, Jingxuan is full of envy and thinks:

"Why is there no option to improve the jumping ability in the system!"

In the 5th minute of the game, Maicon dribbled the ball into the Manchester United half and hit the wall with Stankovic to reach the bottom line. Unfortunately, his cross was destroyed by Everett, and Inter Milan won the bottom line Near the touchline.

Maicon threw the ball, Ibrahimovic chested the ball, and then heeled to Stankovic in the rear.

Facing Scholes' pressing, Stankovic quickly crossed the ball to Jingxuan, but Jingxuan was not easy, Rooney has been following him.

Against Lu Xiaopang's strong body, Jingxuan obviously felt the pressure.

However, Lu Xiaopang is an English player after all. Although his basic skills are good, his feet are still not flexible enough.

The moment Jingxuan stopped the ball, he pulled the ball back and pierced Lu Xiaopang's crotch, and was pulled down by Lu Xiaopang when he turned around. Inter Milan won a free kick 25 meters away from the goal.

Jingxuan and Ibrahimovic stood in front of the ball and whispered, and Ibrahimovic said:
"Jing, let me kick this ball. I feel it very much now. Maybe I will blast it in. Go and tear down the wall. When I shoot the goal, you all squat down."

"OK!"

Jingxuan readily agreed, and then squeezed into the wall formed by Manchester United, and wanted to bring Cambiasso in together.

However, Cambiasso was pushed out by Vidic before he came in, and even Jingxuan himself was almost caught out by the Manchester United wall.

Seeing Ibrahimovic holding his breath, he continued to run up, and then kicked up, Jingxuan quickly squatted down, but it was a pity that Ibrahimovic fired an anti-aircraft gun on the ball.

I saw Ibrahimovic clapping his hands, cursed in a low voice, and looked unhappy.

In the 8th minute of the game, Zanetti fouled a handball outside the penalty area, and Manchester United also won a free kick at the front of the penalty area.

Ronaldo stands with his legs crossed in front of the ball. This is a free throw posture he has recently developed. The purpose is to make the calf exert better force, so as to obtain a faster ball speed without hitting the ball high.

Manchester United also came to tear down the wall, but they seemed to disdain to squat.

Cristiano Ronaldo's free kick from the elevator was of excellent quality. When it hit the upper left corner of the goal, Cesar let out a sigh of relief.

It is impossible for him to get this kind of shot. Whether he can make it or not depends purely on the performance and luck of the shooter.

Compared with Ibrahimovic's previous shot, Ronaldo's handling of this foot is undoubtedly much better.

In the 12th minute of the game, Carrick split the side and Hargreaves gave the ball to Scholes. The latter made a pass and Lu Xiaopang got the ball in the penalty area.

He did not choose to turn around and shoot, but dribbled the ball horizontally in the penalty area, driving away the defense of the Inter Milan defender. Ronaldo took the opportunity to kill the middle of the penalty area. Extreme saves, barely hitting the ball out of the goal, Inter Milan escaped unharmed.

Manchester United's tactics are very typical. Although Lu Xiaopang is the team's main center, his role on the field this season is more to attract and lead the defense in the middle, creating more space in the penalty area and shooting opportunities for Ronaldo.

Sometimes he even often pulls the side and swaps positions with Ronaldo. Of course, the premise of this tactic is Ronaldo's super running ability and various shooting abilities.

Some people say that Rooney is a false No. 9, and his role on the field is to attract defense and support for Ronaldo. Although it is a bit ugly to say this, Manchester United's offensive system is indeed centered on Ronaldo.

Some people may think that the tactic of sacrificing the center for Ronaldo is a bit unfair.

But in fact, this tactic requires extremely high personal abilities of the players.

First of all, the center forward who plays the ball needs to have a strong body, superb technique and first-class passing and control ability, all of which are indispensable.

Secondly, Ronaldo, as an offensive terminator, can't find a replacement in the entire football world.

Because you can't find a second player with excellent qualities such as awareness, perseverance, strength, speed, explosive power, endurance, injury resistance, bounce, header, balance of left and right foot shots, and no dead ends in the shooting position.

Of course, Jingxuan may have hope to become such a player, but the premise is that he must improve his injury resistance and header ability.
