I Want to Be the King of Football

Chapter 878 Hexagonal Warrior

In a Manchester City attack, Su Dong pulled to the left side of the frontcourt again. After receiving Marcelo's pass, he wanted to form a breakthrough on the left side, but was blocked by Ferdinand who came out.

As a last resort, after Su Dong made an emergency stop to protect the ball, he passed the ball back to Marcelo.

Marcelo crossed to Busquets and the team regrouped.

After David Silva received the ball, he completed a two-to-one match with Toni Kroos, and the Spanish midfielder dribbled the ball forward.

Di Maria suddenly went straight to the left side of the penalty area and took away Carrick, attracting the attention of the defenders.

Su Dong suddenly ran from the left to the middle along the front of the penalty area, just cutting into the front of Manchester United's penalty area.

David Silva understood and passed the ball to the feet of Su Dong.

Ferdinand abandoned Di Maria for the first time and chose to come over to block Su Dong. As a result, Su Dong did not stop, but parked David Silva's ball in the middle, and he suddenly accelerated and rushed. Opened up Ferdinand's defense.

Just after rushing out of Ferdinand's defense area, Su Dong quickly kicked a powerful long-range shot with his right foot.

The entire Wembley Stadium exclaimed from Manchester United fans, mixed with the muffled sound of a ball.

I saw the football, like lightning, quickly flew out from the left front of the big penalty area and landed on the lower right corner of the goal.

Van der Sar was already prepared this time, and flew sideways. The tall and long-legged Dutch goalkeeper was sure to save the ball, but what he never expected was that Su Dong's long-range shot was unexpectedly small. The rebound after landing in the penalty area is faster.

It was a complete surprise for Van der Sar, and although he saved, the ball went past his hand and into the goal behind him.

The audience burst into thunderous cheers.

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

After Su Dong scored, he raised his hands high, turned and rushed to the sidelines, heading straight to the stand where the Manchester City fans were.

In the thirty-seventh minute, Su Dong has another victory, scoring twice!

This is a long shot from the outside of the penalty area, from the area where Su Dong is best at. He bounced the ball with a very wonderful landing and once again broke Van der Sar's goal, 2-0!

Manchester City not only took the initiative in possession, but also suppressed Manchester United on the pitch.

Ferguson should reflect on Manchester United's tactics, especially after the attack in the opening ten minutes, Manchester United retreated a little too far back and played too passively, which caused Manchester United to be at the front of the penalty area,

The midfield was completely lost.

Carrick didn't appear in the position he should have appeared in time, he was taken away from his position by Di Maria, but can that be blamed on him? Ferguson should reflect, facing Manchester City, Manchester United arranged such a midfield configuration , is it a bit too risky? Or is it that he didn't think about winning this game at all?

Su Dong excitedly rushed out of the pitch, ran all the way, jumped over the billboards, and finally stopped under the Manchester City fans stand.

He raised his hands high, roared at the Manchester City fans in the stands, and finally kissed the ring on his left hand forcefully, while the live TV camera was very cooperative and switched the picture to the stands, focusing on Wang Chuqing's picture At this moment, she was full of excitement and pride.

But soon, Su Dong was surrounded by players who were catching up with Manchester City.

Two to zero!

Manchester City have a key advantage!

...

Ferguson didn't lose his composure as before.

It's not that he didn't think about winning, but he also didn't think that Guardiola would adopt such a set of play, and even withdraw center Su Dong to play Liberty, which is unbelievable.

If it is a player of the type of Messi or Maradona, it is understandable to play a free agent, but that is Su Dong!

Instead of putting Su Dong in the most threatening position closest to the goal, let him retreat and pull the side?

Isn't this nonsense?

Overkill! Ruthless things! Unreasonable!

But, Guardiola did just that, and it worked wonders!

Ferguson really wanted to ask, what is going on in the world?

Why are there hexagonal warriors like Su Dong?

In fact, the goal just now, really can not blame Carrick.

why?

Because of Carrick and Di Maria, it was Ferguson's order.

The key is that Su Dong pulls the side, Ferdinand chooses to follow, at this time the left side of the penalty area is a defensive gap, so Di Maria plugs in, Carrick must follow, not follow, David Silva kicks Straight plug, Di Maria is single-handedly.

But follow, well, there is a problem at the front of the penalty area.

Su Dong, who was originally pulling the side, chose to fight back to the middle and hit the neutral position after Carrick followed.

Of course, Su Dong's long-range shot is very beautiful, and it is also the decisive factor for the goal, but the whole offensive coordination is like this, and Manchester United really has no effective way to do this.

Unless, there is one more person in the midfield.

Ferguson really feels powerless now, because he found that all his pre-match deployments did not achieve the expected results, but he had nothing to do with Manchester City's tactics.

For example, when he went to Hernandez, he hoped to strengthen the frontcourt pressure and play Hernandez's speed on the counterattack, but in fact, Pepe and Kompany did not give Hernandez many chances.

Rooney retreated in order to strangle Busquets, but the Spanish midfielder did not stick to the ball, he was always on the move and shot the ball quickly, making Rooney unable to guard Busquets at all.

As for the offense, don't be kidding, when did Busquets push it?

Targeted defensive tactics did not work, but the hidden dangers of Hernandez appeared.

Without Fletcher, the midfield was weak, so Valencia and Park Ji-sung had to shrink in the middle, and the flanks were let out. Marcelo and Zabaleta were both active, and Su Dong frequently pulled aside.

This goddamn guy, he really has eyesight!

Sudong, David Silva, Tony Kroos, and even Di Maria, these players took turns to attack Carrick, so the hapless Red Devils midfielder ended miserably.

Not only to block the midfield, but also to retreat in time to make up for the defensive line. When switching from defense to attack, he is also responsible for passing the ball.

Don't say that Carrick is an ordinary mortal, even if he is given a pair of wings, it is estimated that he will be like this.

Ferguson is very clear that what the team needs now is to strengthen the defense of the midfield, but there is not much that can be done.

When facing Arsenal in the league before, Ferguson once swapped Park Ji-sung and Ryan Giggs, letting Giggs go to the wing to give full play to the Korean's running and covering ability, but Park Ji-sung performed poorly in the middle of the midfield. , lost his position when defending, and was scored by Arsenal's midfielder Ramsey.

Since then, Ferguson has not dared to let Park Ji-sung come to the middle.

Now, unless Ferguson is willing to make substitutions in the first half, he can only continue to defend so hard.

...

The first half ended with a wave of Manchester City attacks.

After taking a two-goal lead, Manchester United put more troops into the defense, and Manchester City also slowed down the offensive slightly. In the end, they failed to score in the first half, but Manchester City, especially Su Dong's performance, was still very eye-catching.

At half-time, Guardiola did not make any adjustments to the team's lineup.

With the team leading 2-0, he thought that Ferguson would try to counterattack, but there was a premise that Manchester United would be able to stabilize the team's midfield, so he concluded that Ferguson would choose substitutions.

Hernandez was mediocre in the first half. If there is no accident, he is likely to be substituted. He should be replaced by midfielder Fletcher or Anderson. The purpose of the substitution is very simple to strengthen the midfield defense.

If Manchester United want to counterattack, they must first stabilize the midfield and the defense, and if they want to stabilize the midfield, they need one more midfielder. Fletcher or Anderson are the best choices.

It is basically unrealistic to want to make adjustments in this starting lineup tonight.

From the current point of view, Ferguson's starting tactics tonight can basically be said to be a failure.

He obviously did not get any advantage from Manchester City.

Guardiola adjusted the team's tactics. He told Su Dong that he was allowed to decide his position according to the situation on the field. When needed, he could go up and return to the center position to directly suppress Manchester United's defense. .

This is also the problem exposed in the first half.

Neither Di Maria nor Sanchez could suppress Manchester United's defense, and the ability of these two players to seize opportunities was not strong enough, which caused Manchester City to miss a lot of opportunities in the first half.

If Guardiola's starting tactics bet that Ferguson will restrain Sudong in a targeted manner, then the tactical adjustment in the second half is to bet that Ferguson will seek stability, and Manchester City, which leads by two goals, also needs players like Sudong to suppress Manchester United. line of defense.

The frontcourt is suppressed, the midfield will be easier, and the goal of the team will be more stable.

As for the goals, they are already two goals ahead, do you still need to take risks?

...

Things seemed to be going as Guardiola had expected.

When the two teams returned to the pitch, they found that Manchester United had indeed made a substitution adjustment.

Fletcher replaced Hernandez.

This was an unsurprising substitution, and even the on-site commentator said that he had guessed the substitution.

Manchester United's midfield loss in the first half was too obvious. If Ferguson didn't replace a midfielder at half-time and strengthen the defense of the midfield, it would be a big strange thing.

If this is the case, then everyone will think, is Ferguson plotting something?

Of course, Lao Fu may also be swayed by his own willfulness and lose even more in the end.

Well now, honestly strengthen the midfield, block Manchester City's attack and penetration, leaving only Wayne Rooney in the frontcourt, which has basically stopped Manchester United's offense, but at least the defense has stabilized its position.

Fortunately, Manchester City also has two goals in hand, and they are not in a hurry and continue to control the ball steadily.

Sometimes it is like this, each other is predicting each other's tactics, Manchester City guessed the tactical adjustment of Manchester United in the second half, but Manchester United adopted a slightly conservative tactical strategy, so that Manchester City did not have a very effective way to do this.

The reinforcement of the midfield was evident when Fletcher came on.

Although Manchester City still has a huge advantage in possession, the attack has no way to be as capricious as in the first half.

The game also fell into a stalemate stage.
