Chapter 541 The most critical
In the Sina live broadcast room.

"It's a bit like the first half of the first round. Manchester United took the initiative." Zhang Lu was a little surprised. "After sweeping Bayern 7-0, Schalke 04 chose to withdraw..."

"Schalke 04 wants to advance in this game, 2 to 0, or 3 to 1 or more." Zhan Jun looked down at the real-time data, "It's almost 10 minutes since the opening, and Schalke 04 hasn't shot yet. It's the first time in the second half of the season."

"There is no oppressive style of play, no high-post press, and even the positioning of the midfielders is a bit disordered." Zhang Lu frowned and observed the players' positions carefully. Withdrew, the running position overlapped with Sun Wu several times..."

Sun Wu passed the ball slowly in the midfield, always observing Manchester United's midfield position through the "God's perspective".

High position pressing is a choice with both benefits and risks. If you want to do it, you must score goals immediately. Ferguson will not give Schalke 04 too much time, and will definitely make adjustments soon... Although Sun Wu believes that Ferguson has no good cards .

But now Manchester United's formation is a little bit forward, and they are very cautious in passing and receiving the ball in the backcourt. Both Vidic and Ferdinand are very experienced. Facing Cavani's ordinary press, they often give the ball to goalkeeper Van der Sar.

If you want to make a high-position press, you need to find a safe entry point and a logical reason...Let Ferguson have no way to judge the changes in Schalke 04 for a while.

In the 14th minute, Manchester United got the third corner kick. Wayne Rooney took a penalty kick. Vidic headed the ball and rubbed it back, but Neuer hit the ball out of the penalty area with a single punch before Ferdinand.

Sun Wu leaned against Park Ji-sung behind him, swaying from side to side, trying to turn around and wipe it away, but in fact he kicked the ball hard with his knee to Pekarik, who immediately sent a long pass!

"Schalke 04's counterattack!"

"It's just Cavani... Firmino is picking up speed."

Although there is no Vidic and Ferdinand, Cavani is not the kind of striker who is particularly capable of fighting alone. Facing the encirclement of Evra and Carrick, he finally chose to break through and shoot forcibly, and the ball was blocked by Evra. Out of line.

"Schalke 04's first corner of the game."

"Hao Junmin takes the penalty?" Zhan Jun laughed and said, "Generally speaking, Schalke 04's first set kick is Rakitic, followed by Farfan..."

"Technically speaking, there is no problem." Zhang Lu explained: "Rakitic is tall and has a certain threat when entering the penalty area. Hao Junmin is much worse in this regard."

"Hao Junmin!" Sun Wu roared and made a gesture, and then gestured to his teammates who were running up to grab points.

"Be careful!" Ferdinand raised his vigilance. He still remembers the first fight with Sun Wu. This Chinese made Alan Smith and Fletcher extremely embarrassed. Later, the second fight embarrassed Hargreaves. .

"It's started..." Lannick on the sidelines murmured in a low voice, "We have to watch the next 10 minutes..."

Hao Junmin obviously did not exaggerate, the free kick was high and floating, and it went over the heads of everyone in the penalty area...even Van der Sar couldn't touch it.

There were loud boos from the stands, a corner kick could be kicked over the other sideline...

"Successful start!" Sun Wu thought in his heart, turning his head and giving a thumbs up to Hao Junmin who was a little frustrated.

Raphael threw the ball from the sideline, Park Ji-sung passed it to Carrick without thinking, and Sun Wu rushed forward.

But "Ka Shen" has discovered the crisis, turned around to protect the ball and passed it back to Ferdinand, but Cavani accelerated his pace and rushed towards Ferdinand at a sprint speed.

"The high position press is coming!"

Ferguson commanded loudly on the sidelines, and Giggs and Rooney immediately retreated to catch the ball.

When Carrick ran away from Sun Wu, received the ball and passed it to Giggs, and then ran away from Firmino again to receive a pass from Giggs... an unexpected figure stabbed diagonally out!
"Jones... steal the ball!"

Jones, who suddenly advanced, poked the ball away with a flying shovel, and the ball fell to Firmino's feet.

The Brazilian did not hesitate to give the ball directly to Sun Wu in front of the penalty area.

"Sun Wu catches the ball!" Zhan Jun roared: "This is a shot...slow!"

Faced with this bouncing pass, Sun Wu stepped on the ball the moment the ball touched the ground, and took advantage of the momentum to pull the ball halfway around and speed up the cut. His eyes fell on Hao Junmin, who was driving at high speed on the right.

"Be careful!" Ferdinand put one hand on Sun Wu's shoulder, trying to poke the ball with his right foot, still reminding his teammates to pay attention to Hao Junmin's forward thrust.

Sun Wu struggled hard and raised his right leg!
Ferdinand shoveled without hesitation, blocking Sun Wu's shot with his right foot.

But Sun Wu kicked the ball back with his right foot, and Ferdinand, who was gnashing his teeth, swiped across the lawn in front of him.

It seemed to be a successful escape, but Manchester United, who lost the ball in the backcourt, successfully reorganized the defense. Ferdinand's shovel slowed down Schalke 04's offensive speed.

It was indeed a successful defense. There were no obvious loopholes in Manchester United's defense. Firmino, Hao Junmin, and Cavani were all running, but Manchester United's defensive players had already stared at them, and Carrick was pounced. After the spike, the ball was slightly away from Sun Wu's body.

However, in Sun Wu's "God's Perspective", a route to the ball clearly appeared in front of him.

After deceiving Ferdinand with a fake shot and a real kick, Sun Wu leaned back and put his left toe in the lower part of the ball when he could hardly maintain his balance!
Carrick, who rushed over, couldn't stop the car and knocked Sun Wu who had no resistance.

Although they fell at the same time, the two turned their heads to look at the ball in the air at the same time...

"Fuchs!"

Immediately there were boos from the stands.

Fuchs, who was plugged in at high speed, was completely unguarded, Valencia failed to follow him, and Rafael was taken away by Firmino who was retracted!

Lannick on the sidelines clenched his fists tightly...

Sun Wu clenched his lips and looked at the running positions of his teammates in the penalty area from the corner of his eyes...

Facing Rafael who rushed over in a panic, Fuchs made a direct cross and then accelerated into the small penalty area again before twisting his body and sending an inverted triangle pass back.

"Firmino... shot!"

"Van der Sar... Cavani shot..."

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

“Chinese Artemisia!!!”

Cavani relied on Evra's forced turn and hit the crossbar with a supplementary shot. The ball bounced off and landed at Hao Junmin's feet. He immediately made a vigorous supplementary shot!

Hao Junmin, who was knocked into the air by Vidic immediately after finishing the shot, rushed to the sidelines frantically, pointed at the equally crazy away fans in the stands with one hand, and tore the jersey on his chest with the other hand.

"Hao Junmin's goal gave Schalke 04 the lead, the total score is 2 to 2!" Zhan Jun shouted: "This is Hao Junmin's third goal in the Bundesliga, and it is also the most important goal!"

"A very important goal, the 15th minute, this is a node!" Zhang Lu couldn't help raising his voice, "The high press disrupted Manchester United's defense. Although Sun Wu didn't shoot, he sent an exquisite pass. Alex's cross caused chaos in the Manchester United penalty area, and Hao Junmin seized this opportunity!"

Lannick and Rolf hugged tightly on the sidelines, and Farfan, Draxler, and Raul all rushed towards Hao Junmin.

No one will ever say that Hao Junmin stayed abroad just to be gilded, no one will ever say that Hao Junmin played as the main substitute in Schalke 04 because of Sun Wu, no one will ever say that Hao Junmin is not worthy of starting in the Champions League semi-finals!

"Looking at the replay, it seems that it was an accident. Schalke 04's midfielder Jones lost his position and suddenly went forward. He blocked the pass from Giggs to Carrick 35 meters away from the goal." Mortensen Turning to ask, "Nicky, what do you think?"

"Not necessarily, it's probably Schalke 04's tactical arrangement." Butt shook his head and said: "They put the pressing target on Carrick, which is very interesting... The premise of the position of the defensive midfielder, from the organizational type. Steal the ball at the waist and feet!"

"It's really interesting. The midfield organizer retreated to avoid the opponent's defensive midfielder, but Jones followed up. This is an adventure, and it should be Lannick's tactical arrangement." Mortensen nodded in agreement. : "Pay attention to the replay... When Jones moved forward, Rakitic was retreating. This has already explained everything!"

After a short celebration, Sun Wu pushed his teammates back to the field, and turned his head to look at Ferguson who was discussing with Mike Phelan on the sidelines.

I don't know if Ferguson saw the problem...

The pressing of Michael Carrick, United's foremost playmaker, was indeed key...

But this is not the most critical!
