Chapter 404 Strength Suppression
No tactic is perfect.

A team with a limited lineup uses excellent tactical arrangements to perform at a level that exceeds the strength of the lineup. Either the players are in excellent condition, or there must be certain flaws in the tactics.

Millwall is such a team. Their lineup is much worse than that of Manchester United, but the level of Millwall on the field has caught up with or even surpassed Manchester United.

It's incredible.

Ferguson observed halftime, recalled Millwall's game after game, and then compared the game in front of him, and finally came to a conclusion: It is almost impossible to rely on defense to completely limit Millwall's offense. of.

Millwall's lineup configuration is quite strong in terms of offense, not worse than Manchester United at all.

The striker Darren Bent is in the same state as Rooney.

The triangular combination of midfielders Braniff, Simpson and Livermore has one more player than the configuration of Carrick and Scholes, and the offensive ability of each point is much stronger.

For example, Livermore.

Livermore is the midfielder, Carrick is also the midfielder.

Carrick is more famous, but his long-range threat to the goal is not on the same order of magnitude as Livermore.

Scholes is a cooperative player. His personal ability has not reached the world-class level. He is the core of the team's midfielder, but most of the time he cooperates with his teammates and plays the role of threading the needle in the attack.

Simpson and Braniff must have done better than him alone.

Millwall's wings are very strong, and Quaresma and Pires are much better than Park Ji-sung.

The only advantage Manchester United has is C-Ronaldo. His personal ability is the best in the game, and no other player can compare.

Millwall's frontcourt configuration is not as luxurious as Manchester United's lineup, but their strength has surpassed Manchester United's. Their offensive ability is also quite strong. Coupled with the midfield advantage brought by the 'dual core' tactics, they want to rely on defense. Absolute restrictions are impossible.

United will gain little by focusing solely on defense.

Focus on defending Darren Bent and Braniff, or take care of Simpson, Quaresma, and Pires. It is impossible to block all points by relying on defense. Millwall belongs to that kind, and each point has a considerable amount. threatening team.

How to fight such an opponent?
Attack!

Ferguson always believes that Manchester United's lineup is stronger and will not perform worse than Millwall. The disadvantage in the situation is only caused by too much emphasis on defense.

Actually, they don't need to be.

Manchester United can play tough against Millwall.The opponent's offense is sharp, and the defense is definitely insufficient.

For example, they only have one midfielder Livermore.

In the absence of one striker, only one defensive midfielder is arranged to increase the frontcourt ability, whether it is 'single-core' or 'dual-core', the number of players on the field will not change, and Millwall's defense will definitely Not as strong as the offense.

How Manchester United will play is already obvious.

----

Intermission.

When the Manchester United players returned to the dressing room, most people were very quiet. The first half of the game was not good for Manchester United, and the situation at home was behind, so they knew that Ferguson would definitely be very dissatisfied.

Manchester United is Ferguson's team. When Ferguson is dissatisfied, no one will live well.

The Manchester United players were ready for the baptism of the storm, but what they were waiting for was Arsene Wenger's Ferguson. Ferguson walked into the locker room, did not mention the first half of the game, but told the players in a gentle tone about the second half how to fight--
"We need to step up our offense and fight against them directly!"

"Don't be too obsessed with defending the opponent's players. As long as we can suppress the opponent with offense, we will win half the battle."

"Don't think about anything, we are behind? It doesn't matter, we are Manchester United, I believe you can catch up, and the fans believe that everyone can do a good job and a great job!"

"..."

While Ferguson explained the play in the second half in detail, he also comforted all the players with words, telling them not to think about other things, but to play seriously.

This works great.

The Manchester United players took a long breath. Thinking of Braniff's arrogance before the game, coupled with the current passivity at home, even the head coach changed his usual temper and explained the tactics in a gentle manner. Everyone was full of enthusiasm. If you have a fighting spirit, you must perform well if you are determined.

----

Millwall was a different story.

When Zhang Yang walked into the locker room, he praised the performance of all the players, especially Braniff, "Kevin, you did a good job in the first half. You helped attract a lot of defense and gave other teammates more room to play. .”

Braniff likes to be praised very much. He immediately resolved his depression, raised his head again, and showed a smile of 'I am the best'.

After that, Zhang Yang told the players to pay attention to defense, "The opponent will definitely strengthen the offensive in the second half, and what I hope you can do is not to keep scoring goals, and defending the goal is more important than attacking."

This is Zhang Yang's heart.

If the general head coach will definitely not say "no goals", expanding the lead is what any team wants, and giving players a "no goals" statement may cause the players not to take the initiative to attack.

Zhang Yang didn't think so.

Millwall's away game against Manchester United is already under great pressure. If they can score, they will definitely score. No player will give up the chance to score because the coach didn't ask for a goal. Maybe it's because of the few players in the frontcourt. They are all familiar 'old people', Zhang Yang is not worried that saying this will affect their performance.

In the second half, Millwall's focus was on defense.

With a goal advantage, defense becomes the top priority. You can’t be too cautious when playing against Manchester United. The opponent strengthens the offensive, and playing against each other will make a goal advantage possible. none.

That's not the case in Millwall's favour.

----

As soon as the second half started, Manchester United launched a stormy offensive towards the Millwall half.

Millwall had been prepared for a long time and retreated immediately after the kick-off, but they did not expect Manchester United's offensive to be so fierce. The first wave of offensive lasted for nearly 4 minutes. They were almost playing around the half of Millwall. Millwall Wall occasionally snatched the ball, but was immediately counter-robbed. Manchester United also got two chances to kick the ball halfway.

It wasn't until Carrick's long-range shot was caught in the arms of goalkeeper Graham that Millwall had a chance to breathe.

Millwall also finally realized the difficulty of Manchester United.

The game went too smoothly from the beginning. In the first half as a whole, Manchester United was somewhat suppressed by Millwall. The Millwall players all had a feeling that they were playing at home and that the opponent was not a strong team. Now they finally realized that the opponent could be What a big team, the venue of the game is also the opponent's home field, and they have also found the feeling of 'away game'.

When the game became fierce and Manchester United also suppressed, the Manchester United fans in the audience were suddenly excited.

"This is a normal game!"

"This is how Manchester United should play! I didn't know what I was doing in the first half!"

"That's it, continue! We will definitely win!"

"..."

As Manchester United showed strength again, the fans in the audience cheered loudly again.

Manchester United did really well.

They played together one by one, so that Millwall could only choose to retreat, and the counterattack could not even start. Millwall was also at a disadvantage in the midfield competition.

Manchester United mainly attacked the wing, and C-Ronaldo shined again.

C-Ronaldo is indeed very good. Millwall has made targeted defensive arrangements, but it is still whimsical to completely block C-Ronaldo.

The most important thing is that C-Ronaldo is a right midfielder, and the full midfielder is a little too far behind the center and striker. It is impossible for any team to give up the defense in front of the penalty area to mark the side. The center of gravity of the entire defense line has shifted, and other positions are not easy to restrict defense.

Under the shining of C-Ronaldo, Manchester United's efficiency has also improved a lot.

In the 51st and 57th minutes, C-Ronaldo led the right side, made continuous breakthroughs and exquisite cooperation, and passed the ball to a dangerous position after penetrating Millwall's defense twice.

Manchester United also had two threatening shots.

Once, Rooney carried Livermore's shot hard. In the end, Rooney failed in the confrontation.

The other time was a direct shot by C-Ronaldo and his teammates. The goalkeeper Graham reacted quickly and made a save towards the far corner and accurately saved the ball out of the goal.

Millwall fans let out a long sigh of relief.

From the beginning of the second half to the present, Millwall's goals have always been dangerous. Manchester United's crazy offensive has made Millwall's defense stretched and directly affected its offensive performance.

There is a saying in professional football 'offense is the best defense' and Manchester United are showing that.

----

Zhang Yang's face was very serious, and the game was very unfavorable for Millwall.

Although the team has a scoring advantage, it can't hold back such a fierce attack by Manchester United.

Now Manchester United is suppressing with absolute strength. Their lineup is stronger, the ability of individual players is better, and the overall offense is stronger.

Millwall has to face a three-way offensive. The most troublesome thing is the left side, that is, Manchester United's right midfielder C-Ronaldo. The Portuguese star involved too much defensive energy alone.

If the game goes on like this, the outcome really depends on luck.

Now, the team's main focus is defense, Braniff and Simpson have retreated to their own half, 'dual core' has lost its meaning.

Zhang Yang is considering a substitution.

He carefully watched the game, glanced at the bench, finally made a decision, and shouted at Morris, "Go warm up! Get ready to play!"

Immediately after thinking about it, he nodded to Valdion next to him, "You go too!"

"I?"

Vardy didn't react for a while, but immediately pointed at himself excitedly, "Boss? I'm going to play too?"

Zhang Yang frowned.

Vardy came over and said excitedly, "By the way, boss, the goal celebration I told you about last time, I went back and thought about it..."

Zhang Yang twitched the corner of his mouth and stared at Vardy.

Wise stood up with a wry smile, and almost pulled Vardy to warm up. Vardy kept saying, "...the second celebration...I think it can be changed to kissing fingers..."

"..."

Zhang Yang took a deep breath, and felt that being angry with someone with a funny brain really hinders the perfect gentleman's demeanor. If a player with this kind of brain circuit is serious, he will be so angry that he vomits blood.

"What!"

In the end, he couldn't help but yell at the country.
