Football irons are burning

Chapter 303 Defeating Real Madrid
Ginger Head once again detonated the Old Trafford Stadium. This long-range shot is earth-shattering.

The tacit understanding between Li Tie and Scholes is also admirable. The previous two times were in the penalty area, but this time they suddenly changed direction, and the Real Madrid players were really distracted.

Of course, Scholes' footwork was also very lucky, and he actually kicked an elevator ball.

Elevator balls are generally unsolvable, with tricky angles, and it is difficult for the goalkeeper to judge.

At this time, there are not many players who can kick the elevator ball.

Scholes was originally known for his powerful shots. In fact, he also kicked the ball, and it turned out to be a world wave.

Scholes, who has always been relatively introverted, is also celebrating the goal crazily at the moment. He rushed to the sidelines, slapped his chest, and kept yelling "dog dog".

The fans also echoed, and the atmosphere at Old Trafford exploded.

Li Tie walked over and watched his teammates celebrate. The current overall strength of the Manchester United team, needless to say, is top-notch, and the increasingly tacit cooperation between his teammates and himself also made him satisfied.

In this way, he can reduce a lot of burdens, and he doesn't have to destroy the city every game.

Maradona was different back then. The Argentine team actually didn’t have many helpers who could help Maradona. He had to destroy the city himself, but at Manchester United, he had plenty of helpers, so he could enjoy the game easily.

Of course, if these guys fail, then Li Tie doesn't mind coming out to resolve the battle.

That's what the core does!

After the re-kick-off, Manchester United's formation immediately retreated, leading by two goals, and the team naturally played a defensive counterattack.

This kind of tactics, mature teams, generally do this!
Even Li Tie has retreated to the position of the midfielder, which is his old profession.

Now, Zidane didn't dare to come to this position to challenge. Seeing Li Tie's retreat, Zidane immediately went to the sidewalk.

But in this way, the crosses from both sides obviously couldn't pose a greater threat to Manchester United. Beckham was also in a bit of a bad state, and several passes were outrageous.

Halftime passed quickly, and Manchester United temporarily led 2-0 at home.

Back in the locker room, Ferguson's face was ruddy and his tone relaxed, obviously very satisfied with the team.

"You did a good job in the first half. In the second half, continue to maintain the strength of the defense. Li Tie, pay attention to the defense, remind your teammates to move, and continue to choke their crosses, and don't let them pass the ball comfortably. On offense, Xiao Dong, don't push too high, back up a little, and let the sprint space flow out. Do you understand the principle of the spring? The more you retreat and sprint, the more vigorous you are, and the more chances you will score, OK?"

Ferguson obviously attached great importance to Dong Fangzhuo, and even started to explain to him alone.

Dong Fangzhuo's foreign language ability is fine now, and his confidence has come, so he also nodded vigorously, accepting Ferguson's advice very much.

Li Tie discussed with his teammates where the opponent's loopholes are. In fact, if Real Madrid does not attack, the loopholes will not be obvious. Once they attack, their loopholes will definitely be many.

Makelele is a good midfielder, but he obviously can't help the team much on offense.

A counterattack around Makelele's two wings should have a good effect.

Of course, it also depends on whether the opponent's full-back will press very high. One of Maicon and Carvalho is more defensive, and the other is more offensive. It seems that there should be opportunities behind Maicon.

"Then it's such a happy decision. Pay attention to the counterattack behind Maikong. He is very fast, and he may not come back when he goes up." After discussing with his teammates, Li Tie decided to attack the opponent's right behind in the second half.

After 15 minutes, the two sides came out to continue the game.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid replaced Beckham on the right, transferred Figo over, and played Savio as a left back. This is also a player with excellent skills.

But it's a pity that injuries continued, and he was finally forgotten at a young age.

As a result, Manchester United's defensive pressure on the left has also increased. Figo and Maicon continue to put on, putting a lot of pressure on this side.

Li Tie is also constantly blocking the eye-catching, which ensures that the team does not lose the goal.

For a while, the form on the field was controlled by Real Madrid, and their ball possession rate far exceeded Manchester United.

But it's strange to say that this Manchester United just doesn't let the opponent score. Sometimes it seems to be shaky, but at the last moment, the ball will still run out of the goal.

In the blink of an eye, it was 70 minutes, and the two sides also changed players.

At this time, Scholes suddenly sent a long pass from Manchester United's backcourt. After the ball hit behind Maicon, Dong Fangzhuo, like a flash of lightning, quickly stepped forward to get the ball and broke into the penalty area, and then pushed into the far corner, 3:0!

The efficiency of Dong Fangzhuo's counterattack made Ferguson very satisfied, and this score was also guaranteed.

Dong Fangzhuo scored twice, which also gave Old Trafford a great stimulus.

For a while, the voices of Dong, Dong, and Dong were continuous. The three-character name is difficult for foreigners to pronounce, so it sounds a bit ridiculous.

The young guy is also smiling very sweetly at the moment, and his career has also started from a very high level.

The road Li Tie paved for him was as smooth as the Avenue of Stars.

This goal really ended the game.

In the following games, although Real Madrid hadn't given up, their offense still had no effect. Manchester United's defense was even harder, especially Zidane's defense, which was basically double-teamed.

De Jong's fierce defense made Zidane quite afraid, and Keane also showed the experience of a veteran at this moment. He has set a good example for the young De Jong in many defensive moves.

This kind of inheritance is a blessing for Manchester United.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Real Madrid 3-0 at home and won two consecutive Champions League victories. The prospect of qualifying for the group is quite bright.

At the press conference after the game, Li Tie also asked Dong Fangzhuo to hold it, so that this kid could show his face more, which would be beneficial in the future.

"Yes, Dong is a very talented kid. He is a treasure in our youth training. Everyone should be able to see that his physical fitness is very good and his shooting quality is also very high. He is our goal guarantee for the next 15 years!"

Ferguson's words were a little too high, Dong Fangzhuo listened to it, just smirked, and his heart was still quite strong.

In another game, Roma defeated AEK Athens 1:0, catching up with Real Madrid in points, while AEK Athens lost consecutive games and came to the bottom of the group. It is definitely impossible to qualify.

The other groups are also in full swing, and the strong teams have basically passed the test, with occasional upsets.

For example, in this round, Li Tie's old club Inter Milan was defeated by Feyenoord 2:1 in an away game, causing a big upset. The group only scored 1 point in two games. The defending champion must hold on, and don't be eliminated in the group.

Other teams in Serie A did not perform well either. Chievo lost 0:3 to Eindhoven, and Parma lost 0:1 to Auxerre at home.

If the group stage is over and no Serie A team enters the top 16, don't think it's April Fool's Day.

Serie A is behind the times.

Several teams in the Premier League are very strong. Chelsea, Manchester City, and Arsenal have won two consecutive victories. Manchester City even beat Bayern at home. This is enough to prove that the development of the Premier League is indeed the best.

La Liga will follow closely behind. Bundesliga may rush to third. Serie A should be careful not to fall to the fifth position. It would be embarrassing. The small World Cup may only be regarded as a supporting role. It will not be easy to get back together in the future.

After all, once the competitiveness of the league drops, players will go to other leagues one after another, especially those players with outstanding strength. Who would want to go to a league that is not competitive?

On Friday, Manchester United played the first round of the League Cup.

The League Cup is a game for all British teams, and all teams must start from the first round.

Manchester United's opponent this time is Leyton Orient, and the game is also played at the opponent's home court, which is also to take care of the low-level league teams.

The arrival of a large number of Manchester United stars is probably also to add some bright colors to the opponent's ticket sales, right?
