Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 183 Advance to the Champions League semi-finals!

Old Trafford.

Amid the cheers of Manchester United fans, Ibrahimovic held Chu Feng's shoulders and excitedly pumped his fist in celebration.

"The ball is in!"

"Manchester United gave Bayern no chance to equalize!"

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has not played for several weeks, has not been in a slump. Instead, he has found the form that led Manchester United forward last season. He steadily pushed and scored to help Manchester United widen the score gap!"

Zhan Jun's expression was full of relief, and he looked at Chu Feng on the screen and smiled from ear to ear.

After calming down his excitement, he continued to explain: "Bayern, which was forced to the end, had to attack with all their strength, especially the right midfielder Vidal, but after he left the defensive area, Chu Feng faced great pressure Dip.”

"Manchester United was able to use the counterattack to complete the explosive breakthrough from the wing!"

"The video was replayed just now. Xiaochu and Kimmich were in similar positions. The latter was even closer to the football, but he failed to grab the ball."

"There can't be any hesitation on the green field. A half-goal like this must be fought for with all one's strength."

Zhang Lu nodded repeatedly from the side: "Indeed."

The barrages in the live broadcast room fell like snowflakes, flooding the entire screen.
-

[Manchester United is going to advance to the semi-finals! I didn’t expect it before the game! 】
-

[2-1 in the first round and 0-2 in the second round. As long as Bayern can score a goal, the game can be dragged into overtime! 】
-

[Heynckes’ pre-game arrangement was too conservative. He replaced Ronaldo after falling behind. The defensive intensity of the frontcourt dropped again, and he fell into an endless loop. 】
-

[Xiao Chu’s speed is really good, much better than at the beginning of the season! 】
-

[It is said that a player's explosive speed is basically a talent. It is rare to see a rapid growth like his! 】
-

【.】

The courtside at this time.

Faria couldn't help but clenched his fists and waved, "Boss, what are you going to make adjustments next and continue to strengthen your defense?"

"No, control the midfield. As long as you can lock James in, it will be difficult for Bayern to move forward."

"Our weakest point is the defense. We cannot give Bayern players a chance to enter the penalty area. Don't underestimate Bayern's ability to play against the wind, especially with Heynckes on the coaching bench."

Mourinho shook his head slightly.

He was not too excited about the goal, because he knew that the real danger was yet to come, and Manchester United had not even stepped into the semi-finals.

Not far from next door.

Heynckes seemed to have just undergone strenuous exercise, and his hair style was no longer meticulous.

He suddenly sighed, "There is no tactical significance in substituting now. We can only let the boys on the field adjust themselves."

The assistant coach's movements froze when he heard this.

Since they won the Bundesliga championship ahead of schedule, the mentality of Bayern players is somewhat unbalanced. Whether they can adjust is still a question.

He couldn't help but turn his attention to Kimmich.

Bayern's rising star seemed a little lonely, standing there with his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

"No matter how resolute your defensive attitude is, if you think you can't grab the ball, then you definitely won't be able to grab the ball!"

In the absence of Neuer due to injury, second captain Muller had to stand up. He clapped his hands hard to attract the attention of his teammates and shouted hoarsely.

"Don't be afraid, are our opponents strong? Absolutely not!"

Lewan also roared.

He has not yet won the Champions League in his career, so he naturally does not want to fail on his way to the semi-finals.

You absolutely cannot lose today!

The Bayern players have also experienced strong winds and waves, and they quickly dispelled their frustration and walked quickly to their positions, ready to kick off.

not far away.

As the celebration of the Manchester United players came to an end, Chu Feng reminded seriously: "There are less than 45 minutes until the end of the game. As long as we survive the last period, we can advance to the semi-finals."

"For the time being, no matter who the opponent is, there is no need to think about whether we can enter the finals!"

"We just have to do what we do now."

Everyone longs for victory, and Chu Feng is no exception.

Although it is a bit fanciful to say this, he wants to give it a try and win the Premier League championship and the Champions League championship in his first year.

"rest assured!"

Phil Jones looked determined and nodded vigorously.

He recalled what Ferguson once said: "Phil has great influence, natural instincts and game reading ability, and has a strong fighting spirit."

He had just joined Manchester United at the time and was so highly regarded that he was inevitably very proud.

But the subsequent experience made him miserable. First, he sat on the bench for several years, and then suffered consecutive injuries.

He was also called a "blood-sucking leech" by Ferdinand.

Now that he finally has the opportunity, he will never let go no matter what he has to do.

Several veterans looked at each other and patted the shoulders of the young players one after another, as if they wanted to convey their confidence to each other.

Soon, the game started again.

After the kick-off, Bayern did not rush to attack, but quickly passed the ball in the midfield and backcourt, and first stabilized the rhythm according to Heynckes' request.

As time continued to pass, Bayern seemed to find the rhythm of the attack and then gradually moved forward.

Ronaldo is still the core of the organization, but Vidal on the flank does not penetrate deeply, but close to Chu Feng.

Obviously, even if Bayern gives up the wing attack, they still have to forcefully lock Chu Feng to prevent another quick counterattack and score.

In fact, Heynckes's consideration makes sense. After all, Bayern is currently only one goal away. Even if the offensive intensity is low, there is still a chance to open up the situation from the center or the left.

But if Manchester United scores another goal, I'm afraid the players' morale will hit rock bottom.

That’s when the real despair comes.

From God's perspective.

Manchester United's overall formation compressed and retreated, setting up a complete defensive system in their own half, leaving only Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt to act as a counterattack point.

Chu Feng and Rashford both retreated to participate in the defense, assisting Ashley Young and Valencia in their defense to prevent them from suffering losses in one-on-one situations.

The next ten minutes.

The two teams fought fiercely in the midfield, and Bayern seized several opportunities to deliver the ball to the feet of the forward players.

But under strong interference, they failed to threaten Manchester United's goal, and De Gea continued to contribute saves.

As for the low-level mistakes that Bayern fans expected, they did not appear on Manchester United's patron saint.

The 68th minute of the game.

Martinez received the pass from Bernat and passed it to Ribery in front of him.

Facing the madly charging Rashford, the scarred man pushed forward slightly.

"Put your crotch on! Handle it very calmly!"

"This is the value of a veteran, he can often make key operations at critical moments!"

"Bayern's attack from the left is coming!"

Followed by.

Bayern's chariot roared loudly again, with Ribery holding the ball and rushing forward.

Valencia stepped forward decisively.

He couldn't let Ribery's central player complete the connection, nor could he let Ribery go down and send a cross.

A showdown between two veterans!

After a few seconds.

The two of them bumped into each other, making a dull sound that made their teeth sore, and they stumbled in unison.

Ribery gritted his teeth, used his hands and feet to maintain balance, and continued to dribble the ball forward.

"Force a breakthrough!"

"This is Bayern's Scar Warrior!"

In the sight of tens of thousands of fans.

Ribery burst out with terrifying speed, like a high-speed tank, heading straight for the bottom line.

The other Bayern players also started to move.

Lewandowski suddenly moved backwards and took Smalling out of the penalty area.

Muller and Robben moved to the right side of the penalty area to attack Phil Jones.

Near the bottom line.

Ribery made a cross.

A rainbow seemed to appear in the penalty area, and the end of the trajectory was clearly on the right side of the penalty area.

"Wonderful pass!"

"Ribery relied on his personal ability to open up the situation!"

As the screen switched rapidly, Muller and Robben appeared in the center of the screen.

The latter entangled Phil Jones, and the former took advantage of the momentum to score the ball.

clang!

With a crisp sound, the football hit the outside of the right goal post and bounced off the baseline. Old Trafford suddenly burst into exclamations.

Bayern fans covered their heads in disbelief and wanted to tear down the goal.

Manchester United fans praised loudly.

The goal is the 12th man on the field!

Manchester United's crossbar in the first round made them resentful for a long time, and now they finally found a chance to get revenge.

"Bayern are not very lucky!"

"An excellent opportunity was missed. If Muller's direction is more positive, both sides will be back on the same starting line!"

"It's a pity that there is no if on the court, Bayern can only swallow a bitter pill!"

On the green field.

Even though Muller is a natural optimist, he can't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

He played as a starter in the two previous games that eliminated Manchester United, and he can be considered a frequent visitor to Old Trafford.

But today it felt different.

Manchester United is different, especially mentally.

As for Bayern, after Lahm left, it seems that they are no longer the giant that cannot be defeated.

Moreover, in the Bundesliga environment, basically no team can pose a threat to them, and the players gradually become arrogant.

"Stop sighing! Hurry up and get back on defense, the game isn't over yet!"

Robben wiped the sweat from his forehead and said viciously.

His playing style determines that his career will not be too long, and he is expected to retire in the next two seasons, so he wants to win the Champions League again before leaving.

And this season is the season with the greatest opportunities.

Lewandowski also patted Muller on the shoulder to express his determination with action.

Muller took a deep breath and tightened the captain's armband on his left arm. There was a time when he was as frustrated as he is today, but at that time there were Kahn, Van Bommel, Lahm and Neuer.

But now that they are not on the court, he must shoulder the responsibility of captain.

Muller waved his arms vigorously and quickly returned to his position.

Looking at the Bayern players who had regained their fighting spirit, Chu Feng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The most important thing for a wealthy club is the foundation, because the club will always have its ups and downs, but as long as the foundation is still there, the spirit will still be there.

Although football continues to be commercialized, it gives people the feeling that if you have money, you are the father.

But that spirit is essential.

Bayern is very strong and Manchester United is not weak either.

The eyes of Chu Feng and his teammates met, and they clenched their fists in unison.

"In the 70th minute of the game, Manchester United made substitution adjustments. Lukaku replaced Ibrahimovic and McTominay replaced Lingard!"

"Mourinho did not give up the counterattack point in the frontcourt, and at the same time strengthened the defensive intensity in the midfield. However, McTominay's mobility is not as good as Lingard, which may cause some hidden dangers."

"But this is the most appropriate substitution plan. There are no extra defensive players on the bench."

"Bayern has also made substitution adjustments. The physical fitness of several veterans has declined rapidly, making it difficult to continue to provide effective breakthroughs."

"Wagner replaces Ribery!"

Before Ibrahimovic left the field, he hugged the Manchester United players and said: "I don't want to see you being scored after I get off the field, so I have to cheer up!"

"Don't worry, Zlatan, maybe we will score again after you come off the field."

Pogba laughed and joked.

"I am looking forward!"

Ibrahimovic raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

The game soon resumed.

De Gea's goal kick went to the left. Chu Feng and Vidal jumped up to grab the point at the same time. Chu Feng relied on his higher height to ferry the ball to the center first.

McTominay hits the ball lightly.

The ball drew a wonderful arc and fell behind the Bayern defense.

Lukaku and Boateng were like two bulls, and they started a fierce confrontation. In the end, Lukaku suddenly shot a cold arrow from the front of the penalty area, but unfortunately the football slipped past.

Bayern responded quickly.

The 77th minute of the game.

Ribery broke through from the wing and was directly pulled down by Valencia, paying the price of a yellow card.

"Pass it directly into the penalty area!"

"Lewandowski! Header!"

"De Gea!"

"A crucial save, the wild horse parted its mane to block the ball!"

The 84th minute of the game.

Kimmich pushed forward, received Ronaldo's pass and ran along the sideline. Chu Feng immediately turned around and followed up to defend.

The two started a speed contest on the wing.

In the expectant eyes of Bayern fans.

Kimmich got out of the space and made a direct pass.

Chu Feng threw his body out without hesitation.

boom!

With a muffled sound, the football was blocked from the sideline.

five minutes later.

Chu Feng advanced with the ball from the wing.

Under the strict defense of Vidal and Kimmich, he found a space to cooperate with McTominay in the center. Just as he was about to rush forward and dribble the ball, he was blocked by Kimmich.

The referee's penalty was consistent and Kimmich was given a yellow card.

As the ball continues to overlap.

Everyone on the green field was exhausted, but they did not choose to give up, but continued to run with their tired bodies.

Because everyone has a reason not to lose.

The last minute of injury time.

Martinez stole the ball from McTominay's feet and transferred it directly to Ronaldo in front of him.

Ronaldo gritted his teeth and held Matic, flicked his ankle, and picked the ball into the penalty area.

"Robben!"

"Get down and shoot!"

"Phil Jones blocked the ball with his body!"

"Both teams have worked to the limit! The Bayern players have gone crazy. For them, not scoring means failure!"

"The referee is looking at the clock! Bayern should only have the last chance for a corner kick!"

"Uraishir also entered the restricted area!"

Courtside.

Heynckes stood in the coaching area, staring intently at the penalty area.

Mourinho stood next to the fourth official. If the referee did not blow the whistle after the corner kick, he would probably protest immediately.

The 665.28-square-meter penalty area, with 22 players inside, suddenly became extremely crowded.

Ronaldo took a deep breath and hit the midfielder of the football with his right foot.

boom!

With a muffled sound.

The football spun violently and went straight to the center of the penalty area.

"I come!"

De Gea roared, leaped high, stretched out his hands, and steadily took off the ball with his emerald green gloves.

Then he was knocked to the ground by Lewandowski.

Even so he didn't let go.

next second.

Beep-beep-beep-

The referee blew the whistle to end the game.
