Grass roots glory

Chapter 1114

The midfield attack was unfavorable. Zhou Tiancheng encountered a highly targeted press from the opponent, and Manchester United could only suspend the rhythm.Although they are still behind now, and this rhythm is definitely not what they want, Zhou Tiancheng took the initiative to pass the ball back, and he was still close to Fellaini, and he had no intention of turning around and attacking forward, even though they were not in the heart. I am willing, and I can only follow Zhou Tiancheng's rhythm.

Cooperating with him, Fellaini and Matic fully believed that there was no reason for Zhou Tiancheng to do so.

But what waited for them next was Zhou Tiancheng shouted rather displeasedly: "Maruwan, press up!"

what?
Fellaini's heart skipped a beat like this, he was sure that he had heard correctly, although he was a little surprised: It's not possible, he can't figure it out?
He wants to continue to pass the ball back to the defense, so he needs to be steady first, and he has to explain clearly the offensive and defensive responsibilities with Matic.

He passed back to Smalling, and this kick was a bit careless. As a result, before the ball reached Smalling's feet, Kanter caught the opportunity and accelerated faster than the ball in an instant.

"Oh! Kante, Kante who can do everything! Kante who is everywhere! Fight back, fight back, it's Leicester's roar!"

"Aww!" Leicester City fans cheered deafeningly.

Kante can't dribble, can't shoot, but beside him, Drinkwater is advancing at high speed.Kanter pushed the ball to the feet of his teammates with a light push, Drinkwater made another long pass directly to the ground, giving enough lead, right back Danny Simpson inserted at high speed, Leicester City's offense was Here we come.

Fellaini was indeed careless. Mourinho actually reminded before the game that Leicester City's pressing is definitely different from most Premier League teams.

In the general sense, defense starts in the midfield, that is to say, the key siege is arranged from the midfield, but Leicester City's defense starts from the frontcourt.

Their style really has the genes of traditional English football. At the same time, Ranieri also injected the essence of Italian football's high-position press into this team, with a strong impact. Although Kanter completed the steal directly, but when When they had this kind of intention, apart from the two defensive midfielders in the frontcourt, even the two full-backs Albrighton and Mahrez gave way to the side to participate in the press. The two full-backs Dan Ni Simpson and Fuchs are used as wingers at this time.

Of course, they are not needed in many cases. Leicester City pursues the simplest and most direct tactics, and usually passes the ball directly to Vardy.

This time is the same. Although there is an extra procedure, Danny Simpson gets rid of Luke Shaw's arc pass after taking the ball. Vardy takes off behind Smalling and hits the ball firmly.

Smalling is at the top again.

"Smolin! Ah, he didn't reach... Oh! De Gea! In the most critical moment, Manchester United still has the most reliable barrier, David De Gea! Of course, if Mourinho's If the tactics are more reasonable, maybe Zhou Tiancheng is the one."

When Yang Cheng was teasing Smalling, he couldn’t help saying that he was always dissatisfied with Mourinho’s positioning of Zhou Tiancheng. The best B2B midfielder was used as a midfielder... Ballack’s long-range shooting ability back then It's not far behind Zhou Tiancheng, but have you ever seen him in this position?
When Manchester United was going smoothly, no one would have thought of this, but in the current situation, some people began to come to their senses and miss Zhou Tiancheng, who appeared in the midfielder position and could attack, retreat and defend.

Mourinho looked gloomy, he wanted to get angry, but he had to hold back at this time, Rui Faria walked up to him and reminded him: "Jose, we can't decide anything at this time, hehe."

"Damn it!" Mourinho scolded angrily, "What did I tell them, these boys never put my words in their ears!"

Mourinho was quite annoyed, and Rui Faria, who knew him well, laughed after seeing him like this for a few seconds. It was not Smalling who really made Mourinho so angry. A mistake, but Zhou Tiancheng was effectively targeted.

Only this point, Mourinho has no plan... He never considered that Leicester City will really restrict Zhou Tiancheng, and although Manchester United has a lot of reserves in the midfield, Schweinsch is the only one who can replace Zhou Tiancheng Tiger did not enter the big list, and Mourinho was not at ease about his performance against Leicester City. In fact, Mourinho did not particularly trust Schweinsteiger-in Fellaini and Marty Qidu played well in the case.

But now, they can only rely on Zhou Tiancheng.Nobody can help him on offense.

In the away stands, the few Manchester United fans tried their best to cheer and shout for Zhou Tiancheng, but they didn't share much of Zhou Tiancheng's pressure.

This is not Old Trafford. Leicester City has the upper hand, and their spirits are naturally high. In fact, all their attention is on Zhou Tiancheng.

Zhou Tiancheng has to face at least three players every time he gets the ball-central defender Wes Morgan, Kante, Drinkwater, and of course sometimes even full-back Albrighton.

This is the treatment that Zhou Tiancheng enjoys. It is enough for Wes Morgan to stand up like a fierce god and use all kinds of small moves again and again, not to mention that there is Kanter by his side, forming a very small group around Zhou Tiancheng. The encirclement is still being compressed, and all passing lines are blocked.

Mourinho's face became more and more gloomy and terrifying. He saw that the front trident was still running in his own area, but now Zhou Tiancheng was completely surrounded and couldn't pass the ball. What's the use of standing still like this ?
"Move the fuck!"

Mourinho was so anxious that he jumped on the sidelines and really jumped up.

What is more frightening than defensive mistakes is that Manchester United's offense is now completely stagnant. Fellaini is close to him, but he is far away from the penalty area, and Lukaku just stands in the penalty area in a daze. Ba, he has performed his duties quite well - you can play as you please, and I have nothing to do with me outside the restricted area.

With Kanter and Drinkwater in front of him, Zhou Tiancheng didn't dare to pass back. With Fellaini's pass to Smalling, he could only forcibly pick up the ball and try to squeeze it from Wes Morgan. past.

There was no other way, and at the moment when there was no other way, Zhou Tiancheng himself could be a breakthrough point, at least able to force the opponent to foul and get a set kick.

Otherwise, in the opening 15 minutes, Manchester United would not be able to threaten Leicester City's goal, and it would even contribute to the atmosphere of the King Power Stadium. This problem will become bigger and bigger.

Although 35 meters from the goal, it is at least possible to try.
