Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 189 Chu Feng’s single-point blast, Lingard’s follow-up shot, and De Gea’s high pass and low block!

After the game restarts.

The Manchester United players got rid of the fatigue caused by the long journey and fully entered the game state. They still stabilized the defensive rhythm first, and then waited for opportunities to attack through counterattacks.

Exactly the same as league mode.

As for Rome, it did not disappoint.

Their frontcourt collaboration is very tight, and they have a different style from the British.

The two centers Dzeko and Schick moved in an arc to block the goalkeeper, forcing De Gea to pass the ball to the right, and then the two full-backs pressed forward deeply, using man-to-man marking to press the Manchester United backcourt.

Under such circumstances, Manchester United basically loses its ability to play the ball in the backcourt.

After all, both Smalling and Phil Jones lack sufficient level of vertical long passes.

Therefore, it is urgent for Manchester United to sign an excellent ball-playing defender. For example, Maguire has already entered Mourinho's candidate list.

Facing Kolarov's pressing, Valencia decisively made a long pass.

But the accuracy was indeed not enough. De Rossi, who had settled into a good position in advance, grabbed a little bit of the ball and passed the header to Nainggolan on the side.

Smoking, drinking and perming your hair.

He is considered a trend-setting player in football and an excellent B2B midfielder.

However, his skills at his feet were not delicate enough, so he quickly lost the ball when Matic, Lingard and Chu Feng surrounded him.

The two teams went back and forth, with frequent switches of offense and defense, and time kept passing.

It wasn't until the 28th minute of the game that the situation changed.

Phil Jones intercepted the football from Schick and passed it diagonally to Pogba in front of him.

When he was at Juventus, he often played against Roma and was familiar with Roma players.

For example, Stroman was guarding him.

Although he is not as famous as other players, he is definitely a world-class midfielder.

You know, Roma even re-activated the retired No. 6 jersey for him.

Stroman stuck closely to Pogba and interfered with his hands, and then made a precise and fierce steal.

But Pogba seemed to have expected it, and the instep of his outer instep gently stirred.

With a crisp sound, the football avoided Stroman's feet and quickly flew to the right.

"Mata!"

"According to Mourinho's tactical thinking, Mata, as the second organizational point in the frontcourt, plans the attack through skillful passing skills!"

"Without giving Roma's second line of defense time to recover, they just passed the ball diagonally to the left!"

"The advantages and disadvantages of the three-center-back system are obvious, that is, they are good at wing attacks, but they are also afraid of wing attacks."

"So as long as the width of the field is widened, Roma's defense can be torn apart!"

Glancing at the falling football, Chu Feng dexterously removed the ball with his thigh, and then drove the ball straight towards the baseline.

"You go up and I'll take the place!"

De Rossi ran back and yelled at Manolas.

After hearing this, Manolas no longer hesitated and rushed towards Chu Feng crazily. He had already noticed this "Premier League rising star".

Before the game, I studied Chu Feng’s game videos countless times.

In fact, as a defensive player, it is more important to remember the technical characteristics of the opponent. For example, some players' non-dominant foot is almost disabled, so they only need to guard against their dominant foot.

Delicate dribbling, powerful bursts, and good shooting skills

Countless information flowed in Manolas' mind. He did not block the inside like other players, but cut off Chu Feng's passing route as much as possible.

This is actually an absolute confidence in his own strength. He believes that he can adjust his position as quickly as possible to steal after Chu Feng makes a move.

Because his 11.2 meters time is seconds.

Among defenders in football, only Rudiger can beat him.

Facing Manolas, unless Chu Feng can train his explosive speed to the level of Da Luo, I'm afraid he really won't be able to force a breakthrough with speed.

As the distance between the two became closer and closer, the rest of the Manchester United players were already in position.

Lukaku transformed into the king of stakes, standing near the penalty spot, ready to header at any time.

Fazio could only follow closely and guard.

Lingard is like a fly that keeps buzzing, wandering between Roma's defense lines, which makes De Rossi and Jesus very upset.

As for Pogba, he has already penetrated into the hinterland.

Manchester United's frontcourt offensive has taken shape!

Tens of thousands of Roma fans stared wide-eyed.

next moment!

Chu Feng suddenly slowed down, ran a perfect inward arc, and then made a move to kick off.

Shoot!

The same word comes to mind for Manchester United fans.

CF7 area!

To outsiders, this title seems very exaggerated. After all, Chu Feng is just a young player who has just debuted. What qualifications does he have to name a region after himself?

In fact, there is some truth in what he said.

Want to know who the previous players were named after?

Robben, Van Nistelrooy, Del Piero, Maldini and so on.

Compared with these players, Chu Feng is indeed very immature.

Even so, Manolas did not dare to let Chu Feng shoot and hurriedly followed up to block it.

The moment his center of gravity shifted.

Chu Feng spiked the ball lightly again, stretching half of his body.

Wandering on the green field like a leisurely stroll!

But the Roma fans were not in the mood to appreciate it. They all held their breath nervously and saw the scene reflected in their pupils.

Chu Feng quickly completed the step adjustment and hit the midfielder of the football with his left instep.

One kick!

The football was like an unsheathed sword, rolling against the turf towards the lower left corner of the goal.

Alisson, the main goalkeeper of the Brazilian national team, is ready.

He believes that he cannot perform to his full potential in Rome, so he plans to leave at the end of this season. The next club he has already negotiated is Liverpool.

Therefore, he subconsciously regarded Chu Feng as his destined opponent.

He wants to score a clean sheet against Chu Feng in this game and give Liverpool a vote of confidence.

I saw him stretching his body to the extreme and jumping towards the football.

"A world-class save! Alisson and Paul kept the goal alive!"

Zhan Jun's voice was full of regret, but he regained his excitement in the next second, "Lingard! Get ahead of De Rossi's clearance and follow up with a stab to score!"

Roma fans turned their attention to the dancing Lingard and Chu Feng, and a silent anger surged into their hearts.

How dare a man dance in the sacred Olympiastadion in Rome?

They thought it was a humiliation, so they showed the international friendship gesture and said various words.

Some people even took it out to make a funny look.

"!"

"You should all kneel down!"

"."

Although Chu Feng couldn't understand the other party's language, he also understood the meaning of those gestures.

And the expressions of those people were arrogant, prejudiced and taken for granted.

Just like when he elbowed Trippier before, he believed that the best way to face discrimination and injury was to fight back.

A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others. Of course, he can't climb into the stands and fight with fans.

But you can use goals to crush the opponent's secret and useless sense of superiority.

"We'll get another one later!"

Chu Feng pointed at Roma's goal and said viciously.

"Yeah! When they attack later, follow the pre-match arrangement and randomly change positions in the frontcourt to mess up their defense."

Lingard's expression was unkind and he was obviously very angry.

Alisson climbed up from the turf, looked at the football lying quietly in the goal, and spread his hands helplessly.

Seeing this, Manolas said angrily: "My problem is that I shouldn't take the action, and I didn't keep up with the second step."

"There is no need to blame ourselves. We are a team and everyone needs to be responsible for conceding goals."

De Rossi patted Manolas on the shoulder hard, then turned to look at the other players, "We can defeat Chelsea and reverse Barcelona. This shows that our strength is not weak, and the gap with the European giants is not as big as you imagined." So big."

After Totti retired, he began to serve as the captain of Roma, and he realized how difficult it is to be a captain.

To face the picky fans in this ancient city and to serve as a guiding light when the team is in trouble.

De Rossi said a few words briefly, then turned and returned to his seat.

He is like the leader of the wolf pack, conveying his beliefs with silent actions.

Roma players followed suit.

Di Francesco, who was on the sidelines of the court, couldn't help but smile with relief when he witnessed the scene on the court.

When many people are confused, they only need a clear direction to regain their fighting spirit and take steps again.

And football is even more so.

Why can they reverse Barcelona?

Of course there are reasons for Valverde's tactical mistakes, but more of it is the spirit of never giving up.

Mourinho and Faria high-fived in celebration next door, and the latter said excitedly: "Boss, luck is on our side, how can we lose!"

"Don't be too happy too early. The role of Roma's two centers has not yet been fully realized. The real strength is in the middle of the game. Looking at Roma's midfielders, they basically all have good long-range shooting skills. So we The power node must be set here!"

Mourinho shook his head slightly and said seriously and seriously.

He wants to take this opportunity to defeat Roma in one fell swoop, win with minimal expenditure, and retain his strength to challenge Arsenal.

Although the Champions League draw results are very good, he still believes that it will be difficult for Manchester United to win the championship unless there is some miracle that is difficult to replicate.

So Manchester United should focus on the league now.

The game on the green field resumes.

Much as Mourinho expected, after the 35th minute of the first half, Roma began to significantly increase their offensive intensity.

The two wide midfielders moved deep forward to form a front four with Dzeko and Schick.

The overall formation becomes 3-3-4.

The midfielder assumes an inverted triangle position, relying on the organization of Nainggolan and Stroman to move forward.

"Both of them are typical B2B midfielders, and they also have good ability to read the game."

“How do you distribute the ball to mobilize the opponent’s defense?”

"Rome is undergoing a textbook transfer!"

From a macro perspective, the tactical styles of Manchester United and Roma are very similar. The offense is basically through breakthroughs from the side, and then waiting for opportunities to cooperate with teammates in the center.

Kolarov received a pass from his teammate on the wing.

He is famous all over the world for his chic style of play and unique free kick skills.

He once transferred to Manchester City for 2010 million euros in 2400 and was an important contributor to Manchester City's first league championship. This season, he moved to Roma for 500 million euros.

The heartstrings of the Manchester United fans in the stands were instantly tense.

Kolarov took a slightly heavy step and launched continuous tests against Valencia.

After dodging the tiny space.

His left foot suddenly moved.

The football flew out in response, spinning violently, bypassing Valencia who was marking him, and Phil Jones who was trying to clear the ball in front of the goal.

At the same time, the landing point accurately came to Sigg's feet.

No adjustments needed!

He only had to kick the football to score and become the hero who saved Roma.

De Gea!

He calmly judged the trajectory of the football and pounced resolutely.

He used to be slender, thin, and had extremely poor resistance.

It can be said that he made a fool of himself in his first season after joining Manchester United.

However, Ferguson still firmly supported him in adapting to the Premier League, even if it meant losing many key points and even watching his noisy neighbors set records.

It can be said that Manchester United "tempered" De Gea at the cost of losing a Premier League championship, both in terms of competitive level and mental will.

"Beautiful! De Gea!"

"He judged the move in advance and stole the football from Schick's feet!"

“This requires extremely high judgment from the goalkeeper!”

De Gea hugged the football tightly and recalled the past inadvertently.

Manchester United have been caught off guard by the turmoil since Ferguson left.

As the team's weak link in the past, he no longer had the chance to be confused and submissive. He could only block the ball with high passes again and again, guarding the Red Devils' defense that was at the mercy of others.

It's not like he never thought about leaving.

But the fax machine malfunctioned at an inopportune time, and perhaps this was everyone's destined fate.

De Gea suddenly smiled as he listened to the praises of his teammates.

He now wants to stay at Manchester United.

After the game restarts.

Under Mourinho's command, Manchester United strengthened the defensive intensity on both wings, including Chu Feng and Mata who both retreated deeply.

As for Rome.

After their excellent scoring opportunity was destroyed, the offensive rhythm also came to a standstill.

"After Manchester United took the initiative to compress the space in the backcourt, it was difficult for the Roma players to hold the ball in a small area, so they were unable to provide more pressure!"

"The two full-backs, with the assistance of the defensive midfielder, can complete the defensive task very well!"

"After a whole season of training, Mourinho's tactical system has gradually taken shape, although in the final analysis it is still a 'defensive counterattack'."

"But it is not an easy matter to be able to defend and counterattack steadily."

"Compared to last season, Manchester United's defensive counterattack success rate increased by 12.3%, of which Xiao Chu played a big role."

"Don't refute it yet. Xiao Chu can create deep threats with absolute speed, and can also rely on amazing and delicate skills to suppress the opponent's defense and bring more teammates to participate in the offense."

"If you analyze Xiao Chu's technical characteristics carefully, he is more like a winger and a center."

"And this kind of fast and slow play, which is suitable for both long and short lengths, will greatly improve the team!"

"If you think about it, Mourinho abandoned Martial at the beginning of the season and reused Xiao Chu. It can be regarded as a huge gamble with huge profits!"

Zhan Jun looked at Chu Feng who kept running, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Beep!

Soon, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
