Chapter 427 Ferguson's Tactics
Manchester United's style of play is relatively mature, with Rooney, Scholes and Carrick in the midfield, and Atletico Madrid is not easy to grab.

Simeone asked Caesar to drop back to press Scholes, but Gingerhead could always handle the ball before Caesar ran over.Either trick Caesar with a subtle feint and move forward with the ball himself.

"Scholes broke through Caesar, and Rooney retreated to respond! The European Cup is about to start, and Rooney has adjusted his state to the best. He will become the key figure of Atletico Madrid in this game."

Rooney has his back to attacking and defending, behind him is Vidal.In recent years, Rooney's position has always had a tendency to lean back. Ferguson is no longer satisfied with making him a pure striker, and sometimes allows Rooney to retreat and become an organizer.

Vidal didn't post it in time, which allowed Rooney to watch Atletico's defense calmly, and then quickly transferred the ball to the space between Felipe Luiz and Godin.

Valencia on the right plugged in at high speed, and Manchester United played the gap between Atletico Madrid's center back and full back.

Felipe Luis turned around quickly, but Valencia's speed was quite fast, the ball arrived, and before Luis returned to the defense, he directly chose to cross.

"Little Pea" Hernandez was responding in the middle, so Valencia chose a low-level pass. Godin and Miranda pinched Hernandez, but the Mexican failed to receive the ball.

Courtois watched the ball go out of the crowd and came to the back point.

"Ashley Young!"

Professor Yang's goal flew to the stands, and Manchester United's attack ended amid the boos of Atletico fans.

Courtois passed the ball to Godin, Manchester United did not choose to press the frontcourt, and Atletico Madrid patiently started to fall from the backcourt.

No matter how strong, aggressive, or fast a team is, once it reaches the finals, it will become cautious.Therefore, the finals are often not very good-looking. The cautious play of the two teams is destined to be a utilitarian game.

"Gabi sent it to Vidal, and Vidal made a long pass to Cork. Cork has been playing well recently, and his through pass is a great threat. Let's see! Cork stops the ball and connects directly with Caesar!"

Simeone gave Cork maximum offensive authority, and he was eligible to choose to speed up the pace of the game or continue to maintain possession.

This time Cork faced a young Phil Jones, chose to pass to Caesar before he pressed forward, and then sprinted forward himself.

At the same time, Vidal also ran up, and Atletico Madrid's offensive rhythm suddenly accelerated.

"Caesar bypassed Scholes and received the ball. He dunked a step and chose a cross to the right! Turan received the ball, Juan Forlan came up from behind him, Turan gave the ball to Forlan, and Forlan made a cross!"

At this time, Vidal, Caesar and Costa were all standing in the penalty area waiting to respond. In an instant, Manchester United's penalty area was overcrowded, and De Gea watched the ball nervously.

"Costa hit the ball before Ferdinand! It's a pity that the ball was too straight and was confiscated by De Gea."

There is no time to regret, De Gea has thrown the ball vigorously, and the target is aimed at the gap left by Vidal.

"Rooney stopped the ball and gave it to Scholes! Ashley Young and Valencia on the wing are already running! This is Manchester United's counterattack!"

Gabi retreated quickly. Juan Fran hadn't returned the ball yet. Scholes gave it to Ashley Young. Atletico Madrid had a huge space on the right, so Gabi had to fill it.

Ashley Young was so fast that Gabi couldn't even catch up with him for a while.

"Look at the middle!" Gabi was running and had to command the team's defense.Rooney rushed into the penalty area like a light tank, and Ashley Young raised his foot and passed.

"Man United's cross! Wayne Rooney goes in from the back! Header!"

"The top of the ball is powerful! The ball bounced off the post! Hernandez made a follow-up shot!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!"

"The goal has been scored! The goal has been scored! Manchester United took the lead, uh, wait, the referee signaled that the goal was invalid!!"

Hernandez almost ran to the corner flag area, but the referee waved the ball invalid.

"Is it offside? Oh, the referee signaled that Rooney made a foul by pushing someone when he was heading the ball!"

"Look at the replay! Rooney plugged in from the back row! Sure enough, Godin was stuck in the position, and Rooney made a very obvious pushing action! The referee whistled the ball very correctly!"

Rooney himself seemed to know that the ball was fouled, so he didn't make any excuses at all.

Ferguson cursed a few words and returned to sit on the bench.

"It doesn't matter, the goal will come sooner or later." Assistant Ferguson said to Ferguson. The latter looked at Simeone, who was nervous because of this "goal", and said nothing.

Simeone felt his heartbeat stop the moment Hernandez made a supplementary shot into the net. Fortunately, the goal was not counted, otherwise he couldn't help his disappointment, and he was very likely to scold his mother on the spot.

"The bastards don't care about their heads and buttocks! Their buttocks are blooming! Tell Vidal to pay attention to the position behind him!"

The ball was indeed Vidal's misplacement. He was too excited today and always wanted to run into the Manchester United penalty area.

"The game lasted for 15 minutes! The two teams adopted a very English style of play, basically kicking the ball from both sides and killing each other with headers. But from the effect point of view, neither of them got a good chance."

"After the early trials of the game passed, I think both teams will start to get serious."

Ferguson walked to the sidelines and made a gesture to Scholes.

Boggs noticed this and whispered to Simeone: "That old man seems to be trying to play some trick."

Simeone nodded, and said, "Temporarily avoid the edge, and do a good job of defense first."

When Atletico Madrid is determined to defend, it can be said that no one can break through their fortress. Even Real Madrid and Barcelona lost to Atletico Madrid because of this.

Manchester United's lineup is average, and it is even more difficult to break through.But they still have one of the biggest magic weapons, that is the head coach Ferguson.

"Atletico Madrid's biggest weakness is that their defense is too good. In order to consolidate their midfield, they left Vidal, Gabi, including thick midfielders like Turan and Cork in the middle. To be honest, my skills are not as good as mine. " Ferguson said to his assistant Ferland.

"So their offense basically relies on stealing. With Costa and Caesar, two perverted forwards, this tactic is indeed feasible. But unfortunately, they met me."

Ferguson's confidence lies in that even if you Atletico Madrid can grab it again, as long as I control the ball, even if I fall in the backcourt, you will have no chance to attack me.

This game is the final. Atletico Madrid will never be able to set the front line like they did against Barcelona and Real Madrid. They cannot afford the price of mistakes.

So as long as you keep the ball under your feet, keep pulling the two sidelines, and let Ashley Young and Valencia keep running, you can eventually find the loopholes in Atletico Madrid's defense.

"This is a contest of patience. Whoever shows his timidity first will lose." Ferguson squinted his eyes and looked at the court. Now the clock of the game came to the 20th minute.
