host must win

Chapter 346

Deschamps said before the game that he doesn't mind being scored by Manchester United first, because he has made a series of arrangements and arrangements specifically for the situation after conceding the ball, and he even has a plan for how to reverse the opponent when he falls behind.

But what surprised him was that after taking the lead, Manchester United still played steadily. This team felt as if it hadn't scored a goal.

Although on the surface, the two sides fought fiercely, especially in the midfield. Word: Steady!

Under the combination of Yin Jun and Scholes, the two masters who control the rhythm, Manchester United controlled the midfield, passed the ball forward to infiltrate when they had the opportunity, organized and planned the attack, and returned to the defense quickly after losing the ball, without taking risks , not greedy for merit, it seems that he intends to waste money with Monaco like this.

The possession and rhythm of the ball were under the control of the opponents. Monaco no longer attacked like they did at the beginning, especially after losing the ball, they dared not counterattack. They always remembered that their strength was not as good as Manchester United.

Yin Jun and Scholes also consciously slowed down the pace of the game and steadily controlled the situation, which made the subsequent game a bit uneventful, and neither side invested much in offense.

During the 10 minutes, the two sides didn't even take a shot, who would believe it?
………………

This situation continued until four 10 minutes later.

The first half gradually came to an end, and the Monaco players began to lose their temper.

Didier Deschamps' plan before the game did have a plan for Manchester United to score first, but in his plan, after Monaco conceded the goal first, it should score an equalizer and then seek a reversal in the second half.

But Manchester United is too stable, there is a feeling of boiling frogs in warm water, wanting to slowly stew Monaco to death.So near the end of the first half, Monaco once again organized a wave of offensive.

Still trying to attack from the two wings, Ibarra on the right began to press forward actively, and formed a cooperation with Pursau, who came on the bench as Giuly, Evra and Rothen on the left also gradually exerted their strength
First, Roten on the left received a pass from Evra and tried to break through Gary Neville, but failed. He barely sent the ball into the penalty area and was pushed out by Wes Brown.

Afterwards, Monaco created another opportunity from the right. Pursau drove straight in with the ball, hit the right side of Manchester United's penalty area, and crossed to the goal. Morientes kicked the goal first, and the shot was directly hugged by Howard.

Two consecutive attacks have entered the penalty area, and Monaco has once again gained momentum.

………………

Manchester United was attacked twice in a row, but Ferguson was still rock solid.The old man stood on the sidelines and directed the team, indicating that the defense should be stabilized.

Ruud van Nistelrooy should hold Monaco's defense in front, and Yin Jun, Giggs and Ronaldo should retreat a bit more, and pay attention to hitting the opponent's back when counterattacking, especially what is left behind after Monaco's two full-backs advanced to attack Neutral.

Scholes and Keane should be more active in the running of the midfielder, blocking the pass of the two forwards of Monaco and not giving Monaco more chances to shoot.

Although Monaco's previous two shots were not too threatening, if they try too many times, it is inevitable that they will feel like they will hit an unreasonable world wave or something, then it will be difficult for Manchester United.

Manchester United's defensive strength and fast pace made Monaco very uncomfortable.So it seems that Monaco's offensive after conceding the ball is very fierce, but the situation that the audience imagined that Monaco besieged Manchester United's goal did not appear. They have been repeatedly resolved by Manchester United's defense.

Bernardi obviously felt that Manchester United's defense against him has been strengthened. It is a luxury for him to get the ball easily now. The Argentine midfielder tried to use his technique and speed to break through, but he soon lost Realize that it is difficult to fight a bloody road with personal ability.

Just before that, he had just used the change of direction in the high-speed dribble to pass O'Shea, and then he was about to cut inside. Keane came to make up for it, Bernardi was about to pull the ball again to change the direction, and O'Shea had already Stick it up, and Keane stabbed decisively and completed the steal.

………………

Monaco desperately wanted to equalize before the end of the first half, and obviously they also knew the huge difference between a 0:1 score and a 1:1 score.At the end of the first half, their offense became more and more fierce.

Monaco's head coach Didier Deschamps is a head coach who advocates passion and offense. His Monaco's offensive firepower this season is also very strong.Manchester United are only one goal ahead, and they are confident of equalizing the score, or even reversing the game.

When the game was about to enter stoppage time in the first half, Monaco once again organized a wave of offensive.

Chikos ferried the football to Bernardi who stopped the ball with his beautiful chest, and then pulled the ball Shi Shiran and turned around, but just as Bernardi turned around, he saw Keane's aggressive attack. big face...

The frightened Bernardi was about to move his feet, but when he wanted to pass the football, Keane had already rushed in front of him, and the two bodies collided.

Bernardi, who is 1.7 meters tall and weighs 68 kilograms, is not in the same weight class as Kean, who is 1.8 meters tall and weighs [-] kilograms. Bernardi staggered under the collision, and the ball under his feet was poked open. And Bernardi also fell to the ground.

Zikos, who was closest to Banega, made the worst choice at this time. Instead of going up to intercept immediately, he raised his hand to signal to the referee that Manchester United had fouled. The Danish referee Nelson, who was wearing a black robe, was While running, he shook his finger to indicate that there was no foul, and the game continued.

Because Chikos did not block in time, Keane was able to dribble forward. He was so excited that he was about to continue dribbling forward, when he heard Scholes next to him roar: "Pass the ball!".

Without the slightest hesitation, Keane immediately passed the football.

Scholes got the ball. After Cisse went off the field, Bernardi and Chikos were Monaco's double midfielders. They suddenly lost here, which made Monaco's defensive players immediately become very passive.

"Counterattack, counterattack!" The MUTV commentator shouted excitedly, "This is our chance to counterattack, and now Scholes has the ball."

Both Roten and full-back Evra rushed up to defend Scholes, who immediately seized the gap between the two and divided the football.

Behind Scholes, Giggs cuts in at high speed and catches the ball just in time.

"Giggs! Onside! Onside! His timing is excellent!" Lineker shouted.
