Arthur's Football

My lord is refreshed!

Of course not just because he won a few hundred pounds, but also because after their victory over Porto, the opponent in the semi-final was the winner of Villarreal vs Arsenal.

Villarreal?

Did it this season.

Arsenal?

Did it this season too.

My lord is fearless!

So Ferguson has already set his sights on Barcelona and Bayern.

Because he is very familiar with Liverpool and Chelsea, he is not surprised or worried about which of the two teams wins, but Barcelona and Bayern are different.

After the lottery appeared, the major online companies also updated the frequency immediately, and Manchester United's odds topped the list.Chelsea overwhelmed Liverpool, which had just lost to the Red Devils.

抽签结束后的第二天,曼联在客场0：3轻取富勒姆，他们本赛季他们在接下来的9轮（算上1轮补赛）中，只要取得8分,就可以打破穆里尼奥率领切尔西在0405赛季95分夺得英超冠军的记录！

And they are only one home victory short of tying Chelsea's unbeaten record of 1 league games.

The bright future is ahead, but Ferguson can't rest assured, because the damn international match day is here again!

On every international match day, he has to worry about whether these darlings of his will be accidentally damaged, but without a good reason, he can't refuse the call-up of the national team. The players are upset.

Fortunately, it was just a warm-up match, and England's opponent was Slovakia.

Ferguson waited until 70 minutes in front of the TV to see Arthur play. Unlike him, Capello, who exploded in the midfield but lacked a reliable shooter, still put Arthur on the front line.

Facing Slovakia, which is not very strong among the European powers, Arthur handed over the report card of 2 passes and 1 shot before the end of the game.

Rooney was obviously overjoyed. He scored one by himself, and Arthur gave him two assists after he came on the field. Now he is capped!

Wear a hat! ! !

Seeing the fat man hugging Arthur around several times excitedly, the lord also smiled from ear to ear.

Sometimes no matter how much it is said, it is not as good as scoring a goal to build a forward's confidence.

He hopes that today's bloody performance can be maintained until the end of this season.

After the warm-up match, the upcoming European Cup qualifiers, England will meet the challenge of Ukraine at home, and finally, England, which has the home court advantage, scored 4 points at home 2:3, currently ranking first in Group F, and will qualify. Hold it in your hand.

After the international break, Ferguson did not receive any bad news, which made Sir Alex relieved.

In Ferguson's view, no enemy can stop Manchester United's progress, but injuries are not among them.

Manchester United's injury control this season has made Ferguson think that every pound Victor has spent in the medical center is worth it!

On the second day of the international break, Manchester United hosts Aston Villa.

Although Prince William said in an interview before the game that he would go to the scene to watch the game, at Old Trafford, Ferguson still dispatched almost all substitutes and beat Aston 1-0. Vera.

After the game, William answered the reporter's question with an expression of the rest of his life: "Aston Villa is the team I have always supported, but I also love Arte. If it is Manchester United playing against other teams, I will definitely support it He, but if it's against Weah, I think today is the ideal result."

Regarding William's remarks, his younger brother who is still serving in the army mocked his elder brother through Twitter, "I never worry about this, because I firmly believe that Arsenal is the most suitable team for Arter!"

Ferguson scoffed at this, just Arsenal?Could they afford one of Arthur's legs?

After the match against Villa, Ferguson began to go all out to prepare for the game against Porto.

波尔图在1/8决赛的对手是马德里竞技，两队的总比分2：2打平，最终波尔图凭借客场进球的优势晋级8强。

Ferguson is no stranger to Porto.

In the 0304 season, Mourinho led Porto to meet them in the 1/8 finals. In the final two rounds, Manchester United was eliminated by Porto 3:2.

So this confrontation also meant revenge for Ferguson.

He pointed this out in an interview with his own TV station.

There is no doubt that Ferguson is full of confidence.

And the Porto team in front of him is not difficult to win in his eyes.

On April 4, Manchester United played against Porto at home.

There is good news for Manchester United in this game. Porto's coach Ferreira was sentenced to not being able to direct the second round of the game because he insulted the referee Webb in the game against Atletico Madrid. Porto has already appealed, but it does not affect the team's visit to Old Trafford this time.

Ferreira is the native coach of Portugal, and this season Porto ranks first in the Portuguese League.

After leading the team to Manchester, Ferreira responded to UEFA's punishment at the pre-match conference and praised Ferguson and his players.

"Sir Ferguson is currently the head coach who has won the most games in the Champions League. Manchester United has not lost a single game this season. Coming to Old Trafford may put some pressure on my players, but we will still go all out."

"Yes, Manchester United now have the most terrifying attacking group in the whole of Europe. Just look at their scorer list and you will know that this number of goals will make any manager dumbfounded and any striker will be ashamed. But we also have good players. , like Sandro Lopez, who scored twice when he came on against Atletico Madrid."

"No, no, I didn't mean to compare Sandro with Cristiano and Anderson, but Cristiano will be their idol and role model for any striker who plays in the Portuguese League."

"Arthur? I don't know where Ferguson will put him. To be honest, his attacking power was terrible when he played the free man in the frontcourt. I think Ronaldo played for Eindhoven. He didn't show such strength when he was on the ball, scored so many goals, and more importantly, he was simple and efficient. He could choose to play more gorgeously than anyone else, but he didn't do that. I think this is He learned it from Cristiano."

Because the guests were very humble this time, Ferguson was also very polite in the pre-match press conference, but after the announcement of the squad, Ferreira still had some headaches looking at the starting lineup.

Ferguson didn't have any reservations at home. Of course, in Ferreira's understanding, this is also a typical Ferguson football style——

He can continue to attack after falling behind by 3 goals until a 5:3 comeback!

Ferguson's team is now very efficient in offense, which is actually very much appreciated by Ferreira.

But appreciation is appreciation, and it is a headache to be an opponent.

He played the strongest lineup in this game, and Ferdinand, who had always said that his injury had not recovered, actually started the game, which was a blow to him.

When he saw Arthur, he didn't know whether Ferguson would send him in the midfield or the frontcourt today. For this reason, he had to make targeted tactical arrangements, but as the game approached, he didn't know whether to let that hope Whether Arthur appears in the midfield or the frontcourt.

Of course, it was the midfielder, and Ferguson firmly pushed Arthur to the midfielder position.

Cristiano was born in Sporting Lisbon and is no stranger to the style of playing in the Portuguese League. He naturally occupies a starting spot.

Compared with him, Anderson, who played in Porto, can only sit on the bench and wait for the opportunity.

Scholes, Kaka and Carrick are partnering with Arthur in the midfield.

Ferguson gave a death order to the defense today, he must do a good job of defense honestly,

Ferguson's words undoubtedly stunned the defense's neck.

However, in Arthur's view, Manchester United's defense, which was rated as a wave by fans, is actually not considered a wave.

At least compared to the Real Madrid in his memory, the kind of moments of cheating Cassie and Navas are really nothing.

Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic's partner at least let Van der Sar still have a sense of security. Today, Gary is starting at the right back position.

Gary has a bit of a temper, but he's neither profligate nor reckless.

The only one who needs a place, Evra, the Frenchman who can compete for the first left-back in the world today, is very obedient as long as Ferguson speaks.

Before the game, Arthur watched Porto's videos, and what impressed him the most was not Sandro, who scored twice against Atletico Madrid.Lopez, but the attacking midfielder Mariano from Argentina.gonzales.

But Mariano did not start.

Because of Gary's presence, Gary is still the captain on the field today.

Although Gary lost the toss, the visiting team obviously prefers the ball compared to the toss.

Sure enough, after the opening, Porto started a wave of onslaught.

Scholes is an old man. He can see that Ferreira's formation is to score an away goal first, and then strictly prevent the defense. At this time, he must slow down the rhythm, or simply cut off the ball. down.

This is what Lao Si thinks, and he does the same, except... except for being a little reckless...

The reason why Scholes often brushes the topaz card is retaliatory fouls.

That is to say, whoever fouls him, he will retaliate properly.

This time it was a bit of a surprise, when Scholes wanted to cut off Christian.When the ball was at Rodriguez's feet, Rodriguez fell forward and rolled into the penalty area.

Today's referee is a Norwegian referee. He didn't listen to Scholes' explanation at all. He gave him a yellow card at the beginning and gave Porto a free kick in the frontcourt.

Arthur walked up to the referee and said to him: "Sir, although you have already made a decision, we will not ask you to withdraw this penalty. But you are indeed deceived. You can watch this at halftime. replay."

Because of the height difference, the referee looked up at Arthur. He pointed at Arthur and said, "Number 9, please return to your seat and don't waste any more time."

His attitude Gary frowned, but he didn't intervene, just stood behind Arthur.

Arthur nodded, then backed away.

He could see that although the referee's attitude was not very friendly, there was no guilt in his expression, so he should really think that it was a yellow card, not "having a special mission".

Christian.Rodriguez personally took the free kick created by himself. Van der Sar hesitated for a moment when he saw Arthur, but thinking that no one is born good at defense, he still directed Arthur to stand.

Arthur obediently lined up the wall side by side with Kaka and Cristiano.

[Every time I see such a scene, I shout in my heart: It's too extravagant! 】

[Learn about the human wall in the first phase of the Galaxy, it is more luxurious than this! 】

[If my shell is present, I can still win in terms of appearance~]

【Aren't you worried that the ball will hit the little angel's face?Don't dare to look at it at all! 】

Because it was far away from the goal, Cristiano speculated that the opponent might shoot hard, and whispered to Arthur: "If it is coming towards your head, remember to hide!"

"……OK."

"Be obedient." Kaka also told him.

In fact, the work of defending free kicks rarely falls on Arthur, not because the little guy is not happy, but because the previous few times, whether it was Deco or Lampard, they consciously hit Arthur this point.

Either bully him for his lack of experience, or bet that he will dodge.

It is human nature to dodge, and of course it is not worth concussion for a free kick, but it is not appropriate to put Arthur up as a target.

But Van der Sar named Arthur's name, and the little guy wasn't unhappy. Of course, they wouldn't refuse for Arthur, so they could only teach him to protect himself.

Christian.Rodriguez is the main midfielder of Uruguay. He became famous in the 2004 Copa America. In fact, he is not young, but because of his technical characteristics, he is called Ronaldo of Uruguay.

The Uruguayan is not so humbly accepting this kind of "compliment", he is holding back his energy to prove himself.

As a South American player, he has a gorgeous dribbling, extremely fast, and even a fast pace, but there is a gap of nearly 175 centimeters between his height of 10 and Cristiano.

When Arthur watched the Porto video before, he found that the Uruguayan national was too sticky to the ball, and his style of play was so independent that he often missed good opportunities.But his speed and good at breaking through also create opportunities for Porto, and he is an important scorer for Porto.

As for Christian.Rodriguez's shooting habits...

Arthur thought for a while, and said something to Kaka in a low voice, so Kaka, who was standing on the edge, squeezed towards him.

Cristiano didn't understand why, but he still moved, so that the entire human wall moved with him.

Van der Sar wanted to warn them, but suddenly saw Arthur stretch out a hand behind his back, pointing in a direction.

top left corner!

Fan Baba really wanted to kiss the little chick, the little guy must have done his homework in advance!

He stared at Christian.Rodriguez, after he took the corner, did not make a save immediately, but waited for a while, determined the direction, and then jumped into the upper left corner.

Actually Christian.When Rodriguez was shooting, he also wondered why the Manchester United people took the initiative to move the position of the wall, which made it easier for him to shoot, but who cares!

The ball went around the wall perfectly, but it was saved by Van der Sar in the end?This left him speechless!

After just flopping, Garrick set his sights on the Uruguayan, and after 5 minutes Sandro.Lopez received a pass from Evans and crossed Christian.Rodriguez.

Just as Christian turned around and wanted to break into the penalty area, Gary knocked him to the ground neatly.

This is of course a revenge, but the home fans applauded and applauded.

The referee also simply gave Gary a yellow card when he came over this time, and Gary turned around and left.

Van der Sar was ready to take another free kick, but only gave an indirect free kick, which made Van der Sar relieved.

Cristiano warned Arthur nervously: "Gary is Gary, you are you, you don't need to learn his style, you will go crazy if you go down to the boss, if Gary has prepared a replacement for him in advance."

No. 16 in Porto listened to his anxious Portuguese, glanced at Arthur again, and heard Arthur answer in Portuguese: "Why can't it be me?"

Cristiano choked a little.

Because you are the core, the tactical value of staying on the field is high?But he felt that the little guy might not like such an evaluation.

Kaka rescued him, "Because the BOSS arranged different tasks for everyone. The BOSS put you in the midfield to let you organize the offense, not to let you be a defender."

Arthur thought Kaka's words made sense.

Ferguson told him in the locker room that if Porto attacked aggressively after the opening game, try to stabilize as much as possible, don't rush to counterattack immediately, and kill their momentum first. Arthur thinks it is time to counterattack.

There was something uniquely magical about Arthur in midfield, for him it was a moment-to-moment calculation and a moment-to-moment correction.

His pass turnover rate was above 5% in the beginning, mainly because sometimes he saw the line, but his teammates didn't understand it.

Sometimes the opponent starts to move, it is a great opportunity, but if it is not found, it is a mistake.

He was a little troubled for a while, but his teacher Redondo told him that it was not his fault, but that the tacit understanding between him and his teammates was not enough.

"Arthur, I know what you want to pursue. You want your teammates to play the way you want. It's like playing FIFA on the pitch. But in my career, there have only been 1 game like this. Field. It’s not so much a state that can’t be met, it’s better to say that I had a tacit understanding with my teammates that day. At that time, I had already played for Real Madrid for many years, and I knew each of them.”

"I know you think you know enough about Chris, you know Kaka, you know Karim and Wazza, you know the other team-mates, but you can't make them understand what you want to do. They don't know enough about your intentions, you meet How do you deal with certain situations. Because you are a genius at this and they are not.”

This made Arthur suddenly enlightened, and he stopped thinking about why he made mistakes.

Isn't that why he fell in love with football?

Porto's coach Ferreira soon discovered that after 10 minutes into the game, he gradually lost the rhythm of Porto. Strictly speaking, it was under the control of Arthur and Scholes.

In the last double red meeting, Manchester United's midfielder was once suppressed by Liverpool and gave Ferreira some inspiration, but after he really played against each other, Ferreira could only helplessly watch Porto's midfielder being suppressed.

Porto's team does not have Mascherano, nor does it have a heroic organizational brain Alonso.

So Porto is still playing on both wings today, hoping to gain something on both sides.

But now the ball is dispatched by Arthur and Scholes with long and short passes, and their footwork is far more delicate than that of the Premier League teams. Porto, who also likes to play positional warfare, finds that it is almost difficult for them to touch football!

This is not because Manchester United players have good footwork, but because they don't need complicated passes, distribute the ball to the nearest teammate, or pass the ball back to Arthur or Scholes directly if they think they have good footwork, so that They deal with it.

Even Carrick has a good overall view and is comfortable in transition.

In the 18th minute of the game, Manchester United ushered in the best chance since the opening!

Gary, who started the game today, received a long pass from Scholes, went directly to the bottom line of the opponent's penalty area on the right, and successfully passed the ball to Cristiano's feet.

"Paul is reassuring." Ferguson looked at Gary, who was in a very good state today, and gave Scholes the credit.

Tacit understanding is really important sometimes.

"Paul's condition is maintained very well." Redondo concluded.

With Scholes' current style of play, it is absolutely no problem to play for another two or three years, and this time is enough for Kaka to transform.

Cristiano, who has been charged for a long time, jumped high and accurately headed the ball into the goal!

【etc!It is agreed not to wave!Why did I see Evra! 】

[Van der Sar is still applauding in the backcourt, it seems that he is used to it...]

[What is this? This is completely a routine operation of our group Saint Cassie~]

[Why do I feel that in this game, Benzema moved a position to the left, and Kaka is the Zhengyin striker? 】

[Believe in yourself, that's not an illusion, the presence of the jammed paper once surpassed that of a galloping horse at one point! 】

After Scholes came on the field, Kaka didn't have to help Arthur, and was obviously liberated, either in the frontcourt or on the way to the frontcourt.

After leading 1-0 at home by 1 goal, Ferguson did not relax, but Porto was easier to deal with than he thought.

He called Evra and made a gesture that anyone who saw it could understand.

The Frenchman, who thought he was going to be scolded, immediately nodded his head flattered, and let his head forward!

Ferreira knew immediately that Ferguson was done testing, and planned to pull it out and do it!

They played 433 today, and they lacked individuals in the midfield, so it was difficult to compete with Manchester United's midfield, but he didn't have any better way, and the strength of the continuous attack was obvious.

He is a head coach who advocates offense. He would rather be rubbed on the ground by Ferguson. As long as he doesn't lose by a big score, such as Manchester United's 7:2 Rome, he still hopes to attack!

Ferreira guessed right. After Ferguson made this gesture, Manchester United's two full-backs staged a model of what it means to be full-backs lapping and driving backwards.

He can still understand the Frenchman Evra, but what the Porto coach can't understand is Gary.Neville.

You are already old, why rush along with you!

If Gary knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him: no one else, only hands-on familiarity!

This is the Red Devils tradition!

The author has something to say: Finally finished _(:з」∠)_

Salah's family sacrificed three cows. I thought about it and only sacrificed my hands.

If our group wins, I will go until June 6th!
