Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 110 The battle of contradictions and the battle of styles (3)

"All the players have been placed, and now I would like to introduce to you the starting lineups of the two teams."

"Wearing red jerseys, Manchester United is attacking from right to left. Mourinho arranged a 4-2-3-1 formation. The goalkeeper:."

"From this formation, it can be inferred that Manchester United will retreat to defend and hoard the midfield. The main tactic should be defensive counterattack."

"I believe fans and friends are very excited because Chu Feng returned from injury and served as the starting right midfielder for this game. This is a position that Xiao Chu rarely tries."

"It should be Mourinho's special arrangement. I hope Xiao Chu can perform well today."

"Wearing a blue jersey, Manchester City is attacking from left to right. Guardiola has formed a 4-3-3 formation. The goalkeeper:."

"Manchester City has been in very hot form recently, leading the Premier League in both offense and defense."

"But one thing worth noting is that although Manchester City has won the last three games, the process was extremely difficult. They basically won by winning the game in the final stages of the game."

"It can be seen that the mentality of the Manchester City players is a bit wandering, and they seem to be tired of the victory."

“So it’s hard to predict the outcome of this game!”

"Okay, the referee blew the whistle and the game officially begins!"

The cheers at Old Trafford were like exploding fireworks, heightening the intense atmosphere to the extreme.

After the game starts.

Manchester City acted very cautiously and did not use suffocating high pressure to press, and the total amount of player movement was below average.

The purpose of Chu Feng serving as the right midfielder is also reflected, that is, to increase the ball control ability in the frontcourt.

To put it simply, his task is not only to make explosive breakthroughs, but also to undertake part of the organizational work, which is very stressful for him who has just returned.

The 4th minute of the game.

Chu Feng received a pass from his teammate on the wing, and David Silva, whom Aragones called "the most talented man in Spain", immediately pounced on him, and the two started a fight in a small area.

After several months of hard training, his ball protection level has been greatly improved, and he can hold David Silva and pass the ball to the center.

However, Fernandini seemed to have anticipated it and intercepted the ball ahead of time.

Manchester City's defense on the right wing is very intense, like a lock restricting Chu Feng, not only preventing him from easily breaking through, but also cutting off his connection with his teammates.

"It's a tacit understanding to help defend!"

"Hey, Manchester City's frontcourt players also changed positions. Sterling was in the middle, Sane, who is more accustomed to the left, played on the right, and Jesus ran to the left."

"It seems that Guardiola knew that Mourinho would use a man-to-man defense strategy, so he disrupted the position of the frontcourt players."

"Although Manchester City's offensive intensity will be sacrificed to a certain extent, it will gain more space."

"What a game of intrigue!"

"There is no rush to advance. Fans and friends, please pay careful attention to the overhead view. Manchester City does not use the center as the axis."

"Instead, we built a flexible transmission and control network around De Bruyne and David Silva on both sides, advancing slowly and effectively."

"Matic and Pogba were restrained by Sterling and Sane who were active in the ribs. Rashford and Chu Feng had to retreat to act as defensive players. Manchester United's overall formation became 4-5-1."

Suddenly the situation on the field changed.

De Bruyne received a pass from his teammate, and Manchester City's frontcourt accelerated simultaneously.

After several seasons of training, he has become an all-around midfielder in the hands of Guardiola and is gradually reaching the peak of his career.

Defender, oppressor, organizer, creator, ultimate.

De Bruyne and Jesus, who retreated to support, hit the wall and cooperated. at the same time.

Manchester City's frontcourt duo suddenly accelerated and weaved in and out of Manchester United's defense.

De Bruyne seems to have a God's perspective in his mind. From his teammates to his opponents, every opportunity and loophole is clearly visible.

His movements seemed carefully calculated.

He tilted his body slightly and sent a pass.

Snapped!

The football was like a cruise missile, slipping into the gap created by the movement of Manchester United's defense.

Smalling quickly jumped high, trying to intercept in mid-air. Suddenly his expression changed, and his judgment made a mistake.

The football passed over his scalp.

"Precise pass!"

"The timing and power are impeccable, De Bruyne is Manchester City's quarterback!"

Sane used his powerful explosiveness to break through Pogba's block. The moment he entered the penalty area, the football fell right in front of him.

boom!

The football came out in response and went straight to the left side of the goal.

De Gea jumped lightly on the spot and jumped forward.

Stretch your body to its fullest.

"Pretty!"

"De Gea made a world-class save. Look at the way he raised his arms and roared. He seemed to be saying that if he wanted to win against Manchester United, he had to knock me down first!"

"The patron saint of Manchester United!"

Old Trafford immediately set off a violent sound wave, and Manchester United fans gave the warmest cheers.

This was a save worthy of a goal. It not only prevented Manchester United from falling behind at the beginning of the game, but also greatly improved the morale of the Manchester United players.

"Cheer up your spirits and keep your body in shape when defending. This is a football field, not a billiards court!"

Mourinho on the sidelines was not very satisfied.

In his opinion, De Bruyne's pass should be intercepted in advance instead of giving Manchester City the opportunity to burn the flames of war into their own penalty area.

The same goes for Guardiola next door. He thought it was a sure goal, but was saved by De Gea. It was really outrageous.

And this kind of opportunity is rare and can only occur a few times in a game.

At this time, barrages had flooded the screen during the LeTV Sports live broadcast.

[Manchester City is so offensive! 】

[Where is this? Didn’t you see that the two full-backs didn’t participate in the attack? As long as Manchester United dares to retreat to defense with all players, Manchester City dares to pass halftime with 10 men. 】
-

[Stop bragging, ask Kyle Walker and Delph if they dare to challenge? Manchester United only needs a counterattack, and Chu Feng and Rashford can break up Manchester City's defense. 】
-

[This game is even more exciting than I imagined! 】
-

[Games, intrigues, and dislocations are all intertwined in a game, and it feels like the final result may be dramatic. 】

[The snow on site is getting heavier and heavier! 】

"Look at Manchester City's corner kick opportunity, David Silva drove to the penalty spot!"

"Rojo grabbed a little bit to clear the siege!"

"Manchester United has an absolute height advantage, and it's difficult to put pressure on them with such high-altitude balls."

The game once again entered a fast-paced transition between offense and defense.

In order to reduce the pressure on the back line, Manchester United can only choose to attack, help defend, and interfere with the opponent.

Ensure the defensive width of the midfield and back line and maintain the only counterattack flexibility.

Manchester City, on the other hand, constantly uses passes and cuts to mobilize Manchester United players, with the purpose of luring them out and opening up the space behind the Manchester United central defender.
