Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 185 The ultimate expression of personal heroism, single-handedly destroyed Manchester City's right defense!

There was a red wave at the Etihad Stadium.

"Twelve minutes after the game started, Manchester United took the lead in breaking the deadlock with an efficient counterattack and took the lead!"

"It seems that the defeat in the Champions League some time ago did not have a big impact as Guardiola said."

"In this wave of offensive and defensive transitions, the Manchester City players were obviously half a beat slower. Whether it was counterattacking on the spot or returning to defense, the speed was not up to standard."

Zhan Jun carefully analyzed the situation and expressed his opinions.

Next to him, Zhang Lu also echoed, "In the critical period of the championship at the end of the season, every game is crucial, and morale will fluctuate with the results of the game."

"We can see that Manchester United is obviously in an exciting state after defeating Bayern, and every player is highly motivated."

"A teacher who always wins, a teacher who always wins, his confidence is accumulated in every victory."

The nearly 10 million fans in the live broadcast room were also very happy. When the two teams met for the first time, Manchester United still barely defeated Manchester City, but today they scored first.

They seemed to see victory beckoning.

The barrage in the live broadcast room flooded the screen.
-

[Lukaku has finally found his form. I was anxious watching him play some time ago. 】
-

[Not to mention, after slowing down his weight gain, his impact outside the penalty area is stronger than before. There were few goals like this before. 】
-

[Xiao Chu’s cross is also very good, and his left foot is obviously much more delicate than at the beginning of the season. 】
-

[As long as Manchester United stabilizes the situation, the further back they play, the better. After all, if Manchester City misses a day of rest, their physical fitness will definitely not be restored to its best. 】
-

[I can only say that God helps Manchester United and the schedule is completely on their side. 】
-

[As well as the referee, Atkinson can be called Manchester United's lucky whistle. Manchester United won both Manchester derbies he officiated. 】

Courtside.

Mourinho looked at the Manchester United players celebrating crazily and couldn't help but raise his arms and roar. He actually understood that with Manchester United's level, it would be too difficult to win the Champions League.

So he put all his expectations on the league.

If they fail to win the league title, Manchester United will lose everything this season.

No matter how good the previous record is and how many unbeaten games it has been, it has no meaning at all.

Because the football world is very realistic and the championship means everything.

Mourinho needs a championship to get investors to increase investment, introduce stronger players next season, and then compete for more honors.

The other side.

Guardiola feels very tired. He has won 9 league championships in the past 6 years of coaching career. He came to Manchester City last season and was preparing to show off his talents.

This season has indeed improved, setting a Premier League record of 18 consecutive wins. You must know that the Premier League only has 38 rounds in total.

He may also become the first Spanish championship coach in the history of the Premier League.

But who would have thought that Manchester United was stumbling, but Manchester City failed to widen the gap, and instead overtook them step by step.

Although in front of the media, he admitted that he has a good relationship with Mourinho.

However, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no intention of competition. The feeling of losing to Mourinho is very uncomfortable. He really doesn't want to experience it again.

Guardiola walked to the command area angrily.

Using crazy hand gestures to convey instructions, I wish I had a controller to control the players to play football.

Soon, the game started again.

Manchester City began to change its formation rapidly in accordance with Guardiola's requirements.

The two full-backs penetrate deeply, the full-backs move into the center, and the frontcourt keeps changing positions.

Only Kompany remains at the back.

In Manchester City's passing system, the numerical advantage is very important. It means more contact points and more options.

After De Bruyne and David Silva came to the center, Manchester City's progress became smoother.

The former is good at utilizing space, while the latter is good at creating space.

It can be said that the two are the core players of the Blue Moon Legion.

The 35th minute of the game.

David Silva advanced with the ball, facing the close pressing of Spanish fellow Herrera, without any confusion at his feet.

Although he is very thin in stature, he has strong fighting ability.

His ability to escape in a small area is comparable to that of Messi.

The continuous flashes and moves dazzled Herrera, and he inadvertently exposed his flaws.

David Silva took advantage of the situation to complete the breakthrough.

Then he didn't even need to observe and decisively passed the ball to the right.

"The tacit passing and running coordination in the midfield!"

"Created passing space in Manchester United's dense defense and steadily delivered the ball to De Bruyne's feet!"

"He is an unobtrusive part of Manchester City and the most indispensable part!"

"How to deal with it?"

De Bruyne, who was temporarily unmarked, seemed to have a formation diagram in his mind when facing the football rolling in at extremely fast speeds.

Each player's position is clearly visible.

Childhood setbacks, character flaws, ridicule from others

De Bruyne's football career has been brutal, so he has become more and more reserved.

But he soon met his best friend, Malan.

But bad news struck again.

Malan died in a car accident on the way to pick him up for training.

Perhaps since that time, he was no longer playing football alone. It seemed that there was always someone guiding him.

What is the essence of football?

Flashy dribbling, swift dribbling and brilliant finishing?

No.

It is an ever-changing geometric figure composed of 22 points.

Cut through the clutter and you'll find the core principle, which is passing.

The last player to utilize space to the extreme was Pirlo.

De Bruyne leaned slightly.

There seemed to be an unobstructed route in the field of vision.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound of touching the ball, the football spun off the ground and flew away according to the expected trajectory.

Like a sharp dagger, Manchester United's defense was divided into two.

Smalling took several steps back, roared, and jumped up high.

But the football whirled past his head. The distance between him was only a few centimeters, but it was these few centimeters that became the most deadly distance.

Upon seeing this, De Gea quickly abandoned the goal and wanted to hit the ball out of the dangerous area in advance.

"Sane!"

"Smart movement deceived Valencia!"

"Fall down and shoot! Beautiful! The goal is scored!"

"De Bruyne seems to have opened up a God's perspective and found an almost impossible passing route!"

"As David Silva continues to age, he gradually becomes the helmsman of the Blue Moon Army and controls the attack direction of this luxury battleship!"

The Etihad Stadium was completely ignited, and the Manchester City players in blue jerseys raised their arms and roared wildly.

Just when they were about to lose hope, this goal was like a shot in the arm, rekindling his fighting spirit.

So what if we lose the Champions League game?

After so many years of ups and downs, Manchester City will never give up easily.

Sane excitedly opened his arms and ran like a plane gliding to vent his excitement, and the rest of the Manchester City players also followed suit.

As for De Bruyne.

He jogged for two steps and then jumped slightly, which was undoubtedly a community-level celebration.

The Manchester United players not far away looked at each other. To be honest, no one expected that the opponent's goal would come so quickly and in this way.

Somewhat caught off guard.

Smalling spat in frustration. His judgment on the landing point just now was not accurate enough, otherwise he should have been able to complete the interception in advance.

But it's not that frustrating.

We have come this far, and no one will choose to give up easily.

Manchester City won't do it, and neither will Manchester United.

Everyone has a reason not to lose, De Bruyne for his late friend, Valencia for Manchester United, where he played for ten years, and Phil Jones for Ferguson's appreciation.

Chu Feng's chest rose and fell violently, and he was carrying the expectations of many people.

Parents, fans, and most importantly, myself.

Without any words of encouragement, everyone returned to their seats silently, waiting for the game to start again.

On the sidelines, the roles are reversed.

Guardiola celebrated excitedly, but Mourinho waved away helplessly.

As they said before, the two are like twins whose destinies have long been intertwined with each other.

It starts with Barcelona and will end sooner or later.

But at least today they don't want to lose to each other, and the reason is their recognition of each other and their strong confidence in themselves.

The game starts again.

Manchester City, with their morale improved, were unstoppable, regaining the ball through pressing and allocating more tactical resources to De Bruyne.

Those fatal passes made Manchester United's defense crumbling.

Pogba can only increase his investment on the defensive end and keep an eye on De Bruyne at all times.

Fortunately, De Bruyne is not strong in getting rid of skills. If you give him David Silva's foot skills, he will really become an all-round midfielder, the kind who will win the Ballon d'Or in the future.

The situation has become stalemate and time is passing rapidly.

Near the end of the first half, Sterling dropped back to catch the ball, passed Matic and then shot. The football went straight to the stands behind.

Beep!

Referee Atkinson blew the whistle.

The tense hearts of the players from both teams calmed down and they quickly walked towards the tunnel.

After the Manchester United players returned to the locker room, the assistant coach had already laid out the tactical board. Mourinho said straight to the point: "Actually, the game was pretty good in the first half. The offense and defense were in place. That goal was just an accident. "

"Next, you have to pay attention to your position. You should sit a little deeper than in the first half. Manchester City's strikers are used to using speed to move forward and take advantage of the space behind our defense."

"The pressing intensity in the midfield cannot be reduced, and the speed of counterattack must be increased at the same time."

"Remember how we beat Manchester City last time? This time we need to use the same time and the same method to press."

"If that doesn't work, move the ball to the left if you can."

At this point, Mourinho looked at Chu Feng with a very serious tone, "I need you to tear apart their defense on the wing, and if there is a chance, break into the penalty area directly." There were no tactical instructions, just a simple request. .

Perhaps this task is difficult for others, but Mourinho believes that Chu Feng can complete it. This is an unreserved trust.

Of course, it is based on Chu Feng's strength.

Chu Feng suddenly grinned, showing his white teeth. He also had confidence in himself.

Although Kyle Walker is fast, his defensive actions are not standardized, and this is the point of breaking the game.

He needs to use small area dribbling to complete the breakthrough.

In the home team's locker room at this time.

Guardiola kept chattering about the review, and the tactical board was covered with dense arrows, which made people feel scalp numb when they saw it.

Take a look at European football today.

Regarding the control and training of ball control and offense, Guardiola said that he is second. It is estimated that no coach dares to say that he is first.

"Ensure our numerical advantage in zones 12 and 14 and form two vertical channels wide enough to deliver football to the frontcourt players."

Guardiola pointed at the tactical board, his expression very excited, even a little crazy.

The "Melon-style 20 Zone Theory" he created has two more half-zones than the traditional theory, and this is tailor-made for the two offensive midfielders.

The fifteen-minute break ended quickly, and the Etihad Stadium returned to hustle and bustle.

"Good evening, viewers!"

"Welcome back!"

"The score between the two sides is 1:1 for now!"

"Both teams have not made substitutions. I believe that after the adjustments in the midfield, the next game will be more exciting."

Zhan Jun was sitting in the studio, looking at the players who were already in position, with strong expectations in his heart.

In the last Manchester City derby, Manchester United won the final victory with Chu Feng's goal, so will the same thing happen today?

Beep!

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The second half of the game begins!

Manchester United moved forward quickly after the kick-off, trying to seize the opening and seize the initiative.

But Manchester City's defensive resoluteness was unexpected.

They built an iron-clad defense in the midfield, including forward players who all dropped back to participate in defense.

Pressure without hesitation and high-intensity confrontation

The midfield seemed to turn into a bloody meat grinder, with frequent switches between offense and defense, making everyone's nerves tense.

Manchester City continued to create threats on both sides.

If it weren't for the high concentration of David Luiz and Smalling, coupled with De Gea's fiery state, I'm afraid the score would have been changed long ago.

As City's possession continues to increase, time flies by.

The 65th minute of the game.

Fernandinho completed the interception in the backcourt and directly passed the ball diagonally to seat B on the right.

The Manchester City players quickly moved into action.

From God's perspective.

The number of people in the vertical area shall not exceed two people, and the number of persons in the horizontal area shall not exceed three.

A perfect 3-2 principle.

Sane and Seat B quickly pulled wide, leading the Manchester United full-back to follow up the defense, thus exposing a large gap in the ribs.

The two attacking midfielders move forward to occupy the two ribs in the frontcourt.

"Manchester City's most classic style of play is here!"

“By utilizing the two half-areas, we can perform the final refinement in various ways!”

"Split sides, penetrate, cut inside and shoot, and cross at 45 degrees!"

Amid the cheers of Manchester City fans, Seat B gradually slowed down and hit the right side of the ribs.

De Bruyne once again found a gap. Just after adjusting his posture, he suddenly heard a reminder from his teammates.

But it was too late to stop the effort, and he was hit at the moment of passing the ball.

"Beautiful! Chu Feng's interference from the back caused De Bruyne to make a mistake!"

"The football was kicked towards Pogba!"

"Manchester United takes advantage of the situation and launches a counterattack!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Pogba no longer showed his personal strength and selflessly chose to pass to the left.

After De Bruyne lost the ball, he quickly retreated a few meters and prepared to counterattack on the spot.

Chu Feng's eyes were locked on the falling football, and he also saw De Bruyne staring eagerly.

The ball bounced off the outside of his right foot just right.

De Bruyne can neither reach it nor have the desire to try.

Sometimes a person's body is faster than his mind. He tried his best to suppress the urge to steal, but he still subconsciously stretched his legs to sweep.

And at this moment.

Chu Feng lightly touched his instep, and the football jumped up lightly and flew over De Bruyne's feet.

Then he completed the starting speed in an instant, moving towards the penalty area like lightning.

The route of the attack is very elegant, meeting Kyle Walker head-on and avoiding the insertion of Fernandinho.

Earn yourself a brief one-on-one space.

The sweat on Kyle Walker's forehead kept sliding down, and his eyes suddenly became hot, but he still resisted the desire to blink.

He knows his defense is critical.

It even determines the outcome of this game.

The outer instep of Chu Feng's right foot touches the ball continuously and frequently, and it seems that his next move will be his killer move.

In the blink of an eye.

Chu Feng moved!

Cut the ball with the inside of your right foot and go outside.

Kyle Walker quickly followed up, but didn't dare to steal.

Before he could judge his opponent's intentions, a series of actions followed one after another, which was dizzying.

The inner arc of the right foot goes around the front of the football, and then the outside instep moves the ball outward.

This was what Kyle Walker was waiting for. He stepped out with his left foot stably and stabbed the football accurately.

Chu Feng discovered Kyle Walker's actions.

In an instant, he changed his thinking and suddenly cut the ball with the inside of his foot!

The timing, power, and angle are all impeccable!

Kyle Walker felt determined, gave up his focus, and moved forward again.

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, Kyle Walker's heart seemed to break.

Chu Feng seemed to have expected it. His body suddenly swayed and he stopped the ball with the inside of his left foot.

Escape Kyle Walker's interception in a flash of lightning!

The Manchester City fans in the stands witnessed everything, their expressions gradually became dull, unable to believe the scene in front of them.

But they soon regained their composure.

Although Kompany is very old, he is not far away from retirement.

But he has a wealth of defensive experience, especially in assist defense.

He specifically waited for Chu Feng to make a move before stepping forward to steal, but what he saw next made him regretful.

What is the top center of gravity change and movement connection?

After Chu Feng stopped the football, he touched the ball again in an instant, and his whole body shot out like an arrow from a string!

By the time Kompany arrived, it was already too late!

In an area of ​​just a few square meters, Manchester United's No. 7 moved around and performed a performance that made the Etihad Stadium fade.

Ederson directed his teammates to cover the center while he stood at the near post.

There are no shooting angles, no passing routes.

Even if you pass all the defensive players on the left, so what?

God's perspective.

Chu Feng was like a lighthouse in the vast ocean, standing alone near the bottom line of the restricted area.

Three dimensions!

An alternative way of thinking allowed him to find the answer!

The nimble right foot lifted slightly, touching everyone's heartstrings.

Ederson quickly stretched out his hand to save, but the time left for him was too short. He could only watch the football pass overhead in despair.

A brilliant rainbow seemed to appear in the Manchester City penalty area!

"Otamendi!"

"Barb clearance! He didn't kick it out and the football hit the net!"

"The goal went in!!!"

"The ultimate expression of personal heroism!"

"Single-handedly destroyed Manchester City's right defense!"

"Chu Feng used his extremely dexterous passing and unconstrained shots to help Manchester United gain the lead again!"

"Unbelievable!"

Zhan Jun was excited and incoherent, and his voice began to tremble.

This is exactly what he has been looking forward to!

Zhang Lu also stood up, rubbing his eyes in disbelief, as if he couldn't imagine what he saw.

This breakthrough was so shocking, and it was against Manchester City.

Although De Bruyne and Kyle Walker's defensive skills are not high, this is also terrifying.
