heir to the red devil

Chapter 120
"Hello, audience friends. We are broadcasting live for you the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2013-2014 season. Manchester United challenged Leverkusen away. At the beginning, Manchester United still maintained a strong attacking power and continued to put pressure on Leverkusen's goal."

In front of BT Sport's TV commentary booth, Trick and Norrie are explaining the game. The BT Sport commentary team is very interesting. Trick has fair skin and looks like a gentle scholar; while Nori is full of beards, muscular, and looks like a macho.The commentary combination of these two people is thick and thin, one literary and one military, and they can always bring complementary commentary characteristics to the TV audience through the difference in personality.

Just after Tricker finished the opening remarks of the second half, Norrie took over the conversation and said loudly: "The two teams played offensive football in the first half, which was very enjoyable for everyone to watch, but at the beginning of the second half, Manchester United was still full of attack power. But Leverkusen retreated to their own half and played a defensive counterattack. It seems that Hyypia was frightened by his old opponent."

Tricker shook his head: "I think Hypia's choice is very reasonable. Now Leverkusen is ranked first in the group. As long as they can keep a draw today, then Leverkusen will definitely be able to enter the Champions League The top sixteen, and as long as they can win the underdog Real Sociedad in the next game, they will be able to securely win the first place in the group. In this way, they will be able to obtain a favorable position in the draw of the top sixteen of the Champions League. But if they If they lose one game, they will be in danger of being second in the group, and it depends on the result of the last game. Therefore, in order to be the first in the group, Hypia's strategy of playing defensive counterattack is very correct."

Trick was right, Hypia really thought so.Instead of taking the risk to compete for the victory of this game, it is better to score a point steadily, and then save the strength to win the Real Sociedad in the next game, which is much less difficult.

But Kinteg’s situation is different. He has to win this game so that he won’t face off with Shakhtar Donetsk in the last game. Therefore, Kintag commanded the players on the field to attack with all his strength and continue to press on. .

But until 60 minutes into the game, Manchester United still failed to score Leverkusen's goal.

Seeing this situation, Kintegger made a decisive change. He replaced Evra with Alonso, and then let Rooney retreat. Manchester United's new formation 4-2-3-1 appeared again.

After experimenting on the training ground during this period, the Manchester United players have slowly become proficient in this style of play. Although they are not particularly proficient, they already have a very strong offensive power.Now several frontcourt players still rely on their personal ability to break through, and then pass or distribute the ball.Jin Taige is already thinking about it. In the next training, he will strengthen the short-pass cooperation between the players in the frontcourt, and use continuous passes to tear through the opponent's defense.If this is the case, maintaining Manchester United's high efficiency in counterattacks and achieving delicate pass control in positional battles, such a Red Devils can definitely shock Europe.

But this is just Jin Taige's idea. To achieve this, it is really not something that can be done in a day or two.

After Kintag changed, the situation on the Manchester United field suddenly changed. Rooney pulled out of the penalty area and began to play the role of the core of his attack. Van Persie's flexible movement in the penalty area also made Leverkusen players feel. The strength of the Premier League Golden Boot.Although Leverkusen tried their best to defend, under the continuous attack of Manchester United, the tall German still showed his flaws.

The newly replaced Alonso is very active on the left, and his cooperation with Mahrez has become more and more tacit. According to this posture, the old Evra will have to give up the main position to Alonso sooner or later.During the summer transfer period, Kintag also promised Alonso that he would be the main left back.Therefore, Alonso is meticulous in training. Although there is Evra who performed well in front of him, Alonso is still not discouraged, and he keeps asking his senior for some defensive skills during training. You must know that he was young and strong Evra is also a left-back candidate who can be ranked among the top three in the world.

In the 71st minute of the game, Manchester United launched an attack from the left. The initiator of the attack was Alonso. The forward space, and Leverkusen's right back is very hesitant, they dare not easily grab Alonso, because Mahrez is also a very threatening player in the Manchester United team in this game.Just when they were hesitating, Alonso broke through Leverkusen's defense under the cover of Mahrez. He made a cross from the bottom line, and the ball went straight to the middle of the penalty area.

At this time, in the TV commentary booth of BT Sport, the hunk Norrie suddenly became excited. He was not a Manchester United fan, but he was still very excited when he saw that his country's team got a good chance.

"Manchester United's new left-back Alonso has an assist! He is very fast and has broken through two Leverkusen players in a row!"

"Mahrez pulled to the edge of the box, ready to meet Alonso!"

"Alonso didn't pass to Mahrez, he then took the ball to the baseline!"

"Cross! Can the Manchester United players in the penalty area receive it?"

"Van Persie hit the ball! Goal!!!"

"Van Persie scored the first goal of the game, and Manchester United led 1-0 away! Hyypia paid the price for his conservatism!"

Van Persie, who scored the header, was very happy. He hugged his teammates together to celebrate this hard-won goal.The Manchester United fans who followed the team also cheered and celebrated in the stands, very happy for this goal.

Kintag and the coaching staff on the sidelines also cheered excitedly on the sidelines, and Phelan shouted loudly: "Let that Liverpool man see how good our Manchester United striker is!"

The Liverpool man that Phelan said was Leverkusen coach Hyypia.When Hyypia saw the goal, he slammed the water glass to the ground.This goal completely broke his tactical arrangement of defensive counterattack and put Leverkusen into a passive position.But now should we continue to look for opportunities, or should we resume the style of play in the first half and bombard Manchester United indiscriminately?

Hyypia was very hesitant at this time. He racked his brains, thinking about how to deal with the current situation on the court more reasonably.

Hyypia was hesitant, but Jin Taige was very firm. He waved his hand and shouted at the players on the field: "Keep attacking, don't stop!"
