Manchester United legend

Chapter 185

Ferguson created an invincible midfielder with his personal mark and Manchester United characteristics.

Many people have conducted research on the key reasons for Ferguson's success this season, but they all come down to Ferguson's ability to fully utilize the 442 tactical power.

In the eyes of experts, Ferguson's greatest reliance is to discover the personal characteristics and unique weapons of the players, and to combine the Manchester United midfielder with a reasonable combination of personnel, which has played a combat effectiveness far beyond the simple sum of personal levels, and has achieved a huge achievement that is far more successful than the traditional 442.

The Manchester United midfielder this season has perfectly combined strength and speed, awareness and understanding, individual and team.

In each attribute, the Red Devils midfielder has reached a peak height, so it has also achieved the best results overall.

Not only that, this team is strong in spirit, full of fighting spirit, and has an excellent sense of community. Every player is willing to dedicate himself and sacrifice himself for the team and his teammates.

In terms of combat effectiveness and performance alone, Manchester United's midfield combination this season is the best in all European clubs, and the midfield configuration is impressive.

Manchester United's midfielder is also the one Ferguson relies on and trusts the most-this is the biggest propeller for Manchester United's offense, and the safest buffer and pressure relief valve for defense.

Manchester United's midfield combination is the key to the world this season, and it is also the source of strength for Manchester United to win the "Triple Crown".

In fact, Ferguson did not use too many midfielders throughout the season. The main players were Jost, Scholes, Beckham and Giggs. Butt and Bromqvist were important substitutes. Cruyff had long been excluded from the main lineup and only played in a few games.

In general, Ferguson likes to use 442 parallel positions in the game, and sometimes uses a diamond midfielder.The former is more defensive, while the latter is more offensive.

This season, Manchester United's midfielder in the league is basically Ryan Giggs on the left and Beckham on the right, becoming the biggest firepower of Manchester United's wing attack, which is what Manchester United fans like to talk about, a pair of double wings with different characteristics but great power.

In the middle of the road, Jost and Scholes are usually partnered. Jost sits at the core of the central axis, mainly responsible for intercepting and sweeping, covering the entire field, and is the hub of offensive and defensive transitions.

Scholes, on the other hand, focuses on offense. He usually supports behind the two forwards, and often goes behind to attack, blasting heavy artillery in the area near the penalty area, using long-range shots to blast the opponent's goal, or inserting behind to look for opportunities in the penalty area, becoming a hidden killer in Manchester United.

Manchester United's midfield quartet has its own characteristics, but they complement each other when combined, and their joint effectiveness is extremely good.

All the specialties and stunts of the four were organically combined by Ferguson, so Manchester United's offense appeared to be very layered and rich in means, and the overall sense was excellent. Like a well-operated machine, it could continuously create various ingenious offensive combinations. Ornamental, which is one of the reasons why Manchester United was so popular in the world back then.

Let me talk about Captain Jost first.Jost is an all-around midfielder and one of Manchester United's best "B2B" players right now.

England's tough guy recovered from injury this season and played at the peak level of his heyday.

Jost has a strong body like a billet of steel, a strong will like steel, a fighting passion like magma, a calm and sharpness like ice, a strong physical strength like a wildebeest, and an extraordinary influence like a commander... At Manchester United, he is the captain on the pitch, the label of the team's style, the core, soul and cornerstone of the entire team.

Jost's game style is known for its fierceness and blood. He has fierce and spicy tackle skills, and a large area of ​​​​defense sweeps.

Cantonese football commentators sometimes even refer to him as "Jony the Midfield Killer".

It can be seen that Jost is of great significance in setting up a midfield barrier, which is simply irreplaceable for Manchester United.

In addition to defense, Jost actually has a reasonable and clear midfield organization ability. Sudden violent long-range shots from the back row are also his unique skills. He is also very good at grabbing headers and shooting in front of the goal. However, there are not many opportunities for these skills to be used this season. He is more likely to grab the ball while defending and then hand it over to the attacking line in the frontcourt. He does not need too much effort to attack and break the defense at the back, just more support.

Of course, at critical moments, Jost will motivate the team with goals and launch a general attack.What Manchester United fans admire most is Jost's confrontation and coverage ability, which is also his strongest point.

The super physical strength guarantees Jost to run in a large area, allowing him to often advance into the opponent's penalty area while defending in the midfield, catching the opponent by surprise.

From assisting the defense in the penalty area of ​​the own side to attacking and breaking the goal in the opponent's penalty area, this is Jost, the most critical "B2B" midfield core of Manchester United.

Jost supported Manchester United's entire midfield in the game, and also allowed Manchester United's midfield to gain an advantage when entangled with their opponents.

What other teams need two players to do, Jost can do it alone, and the quality and efficiency are excellent.

Based on the above, we know that Jost, who has multiple characteristics and multiple abilities between the two penalty areas, is Manchester United's most powerful fighter and the most rare handsome talent.

Not only that, Jost played an even greater role spiritually.Jost has inherited the tradition of Manchester United and carried forward the iron-blooded qualities of Manchester United.

As the commander of the Red Devils fighting on the pitch, he inspired Manchester United players to advance bravely and commanded his teammates to be tough and sturdy.

He can be regarded as the iron-blooded commander of the team, the most courageous and passionate leader in the team. He uses actions to inspire the spiritual strength of his teammates, stimulate the spiritual attributes of the team, and strive for those miracles of reversal and breaking the deadlock.

As a competitive sport such as football, if a team wants to achieve good results, it must have people like Jost as a banner. When encountering tough battles, they will never shrink back, never bow their heads, fight bravely, and fight to the end. Such talents can set an example for everyone, and can inspire and encourage some introverted and low-key teammates.

All in all, Jost, as the captain of Manchester United, is the most ideal spokesperson for Manchester United's character.

He perfectly embodies the bravery and tenacity of fighting to the last moment and never giving up.

And it is this kind of spiritual trait that has allowed Manchester United to be reborn in adversity many times, reverse their opponents when they fell behind, and finally win.

Of course, if you want to observe the comments harshly, some people may point out that Jost has many shortcomings-rebellious, ferocious and rough, as well as rough technique and slow speed.

Dong Qiudi can indeed criticize Jost’s average dribbling skills, but don’t selectively ignore his reasonable ball protection and passing; Dong Qiudi may criticize his excessive moves, but don’t forget that Jost has extraordinary foresight and can always appear in a reasonable position at the right time; his big moves are basically to deter the opponent and suppress the opponent’s arrogance.

Naturally, there will be some fans complaining about Jost's scoring ability. He has no scoring record throughout the season, but don't forget that he can always use long-range shots and headers to sound the horn at critical moments, and he can also use goals to turn the tide for Manchester United when the team is most dangerous.

So despite his flaws, Jost is the most indispensable leader of Manchester United.

The other three players in the midfield are also products of Manchester United's youth training generation. Central midfielder Scholes has inherited the toughness and physical strength of British players. At the same time, he also has the skills and minds that British players rarely see.

Beside Jost, Scholes acted as a wingman in defense. He is characterized by fierce tackles and brave fouls. His ability to intercept and fight is far from what the current players can compare.

While attacking, Scholes is more like a shadow killer. His judgment and timing of choosing the back row are unmatched in the entire Premier League. He has an almost natural sense and insight into space.Not only that, but in places where people don't pay attention, he is skilled in passing the ball accurately, can protect the ball very effectively and securely, can pass the ball quickly and neatly, and connect without sloppiness. He is an indispensable lubricant for Manchester United's frontcourt attack.

Moreover, his powerful long-range shooting skills are second to none in the Premier League. Therefore, his scoring ability is extremely strong. He is good at scoring points in the penalty area and long-range shots from outside the penalty area. What is particularly admirable is that he has amazing anticipation of the line, time, and landing point of the ball.

Therefore, he has become an important weapon on Manchester United's attack line-a hidden dagger, a super powerful heavy artillery.

In general, a rare player who has multiple roles such as intercepting midfielder, connector, shadow forward, heavy gunner, etc., this is Scholes.

Of course, Scholes was criticized by Wenger for "playing football dirty", but in fact, Scholes has a disease in his eyes. There will be a considerable time delay between seeing things and making actions, so many fouls that look "ugly" and many kicks are due to deviations in his actions and judgments, rather than real roughness and violence.

In fact, Scholes has a low-key and honest personality, has a clear mind in organizing offenses, and is calm at the end. He has always been a low-key and shy person.

Of course, at that time he was not lacking in passion. If Manchester United had a conflict with someone, he and Jost would almost certainly be the first to fight.

Manchester United's left midfielder is Ryan Giggs, who has long been famous. As the earliest member of the golden generation, Giggs has become more mature this season and has overcome the test of injuries, making an irreplaceable contribution to the great cause of Manchester United.

Since his debut, Giggs' biggest feature is the perfect combination of speed and technology. His high-speed breakthrough on the left has become one of the reliance of Manchester United's wing attack.

The exact positioning of Giggs is actually more like a left winger: high-speed dribbling breakthroughs to beat full-backs, accurate pass assists and aggressive inside shots.

Giggs' dribbling skills are not very good alone. He doesn't have as many dribbling skills as South American players. He lacks classic moves such as cycling, Marseille gyrations, and pendulum dribbles, but this does not affect his power. Almost every defender who faces him thinks that he will face a nightmare.

Giggs has excellent explosive power and acceleration ability, low center of gravity, many changes of direction, and fast frequency. Facing defenders alone, he can almost break through with a speed of the ball or a change of direction. He is a huge threat to the opponent's defense.

In addition to breakthroughs, Giggs passing is also a big killer for Manchester United.Compared with Beckham's passing accuracy, although it is not enough, it is also extremely accurate. What is different from the big arc is that his passing line is straighter and the distance is shorter.

Therefore, Giggs can also create a lot of scoring opportunities in a season, and can also generate abnormal assists.

Giggs is naturally eye-catching, his head is flexible and fast, and he is very brainy and smart when playing football.

In fact, he didn't play many games this season and was often affected by injuries.

At the same time, he also lost part of his speed advantage due to injuries, but even so, he was able to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses in the game, using more assaults, and minimizing non-stop long-distance sprints.

As a wide attacker, Giggs' offensive ability is not limited to dribbling breakthroughs and passing assists, in fact, his shooting ability is also very strong.

United fans will always remember Ryan Giggs scoring a miraculous goal in the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal, which was actually just one of his many goals.

Fast and smart, Giggs has a natural advantage when grabbing points, and it also makes the opponent's defense even more painful.

Giggs is still at his peak this season - although his appearances have dropped sharply due to injuries.

He is still cruising like a tiger shark, in the corridor on the left, in every corner of the frontcourt, he gallops, he dribbles, he breaks through, he passes, he assists, he shoots...he is almost omnipotent and almost everywhere.

The player who shines on the left and often reverses the situation on the field by himself, or the winger fighter who defeats the enemy by himself is Giggs, the left angel flying in the Red Devils Manchester United.
