Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 33 Another assist, winning the first show
  "We played well in the first half, but there are a few things we need to pay attention to."

Mourinho first praised the players' performance, then pulled the tactical board in front of him and made adjustments for the second half.

"First of all, when dealing with difficult positional battles, the overall coordination is not enough, and the mutual cover and support are not good enough."

"If you think about it carefully, can Leicester City players make too few defensive moves?"

"This is because your pulling range is too small to cause major changes in the opponent's formation."

"So when holding the ball, each player should pay more attention to the contact with his teammates and not be limited to the space in front of him."

Mourinho commented on the team's overall shortcomings.

He seemed a little hesitant, but continued to say in a deep voice: "The quality of the cross and the conversion rate of the shot are also not good, which makes the efficiency of relying on passing and running to advance extremely low."

"Chu, actually after you complete the breakthrough, you don't have to worry too much about passing the ball. You can try to use your dribbling ability to continuously squeeze Leicester City's defense into the penalty area."

Chu Feng looked at the formation diagram drawn on the tactical board and quickly came to his own understanding. He tried to answer: "Boss, I understand. We need to make the opponent's defense lose enough flexibility to protect the arc of the penalty area. The role of the top zone.”

"Yes, that's what it means."

Mourinho snapped his fingers and said with satisfaction.

At this time, in the Leicester City locker room next door, Shakespeare was giving blood to the players.

"We started well but Manchester United scored first."

"But you must remember that you are champion players. When facing difficulties and setbacks, you must not choose to escape."

"Boys, get excited and prove your strength to the fans!"

Old players such as Morgan, Vardy, Shinji Okazaki and Mahrez were the first to stand up.

They have already experienced troughs and glory, and have extremely tough hearts.

Led by several people, the Leicester City players formed a circle and put their hands together, seemingly transmitting strength to each other.

Then, he roared loudly: "Come on!!!"

"come on!!!"

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, and the King Power Stadium returned to its previous bustle.

The second half of the game officially started.

Manchester United pressed forward decisively, obviously trying to seize the opening and take the rhythm of the game into their own hands.

Moreover, after adjustments in the midfield, the proportion of the left wing in the offense has once again been increased.

After Chu Feng received the pass from his teammate, he also began to pay attention to controlling the rhythm of the breakthrough, and tried to promote passing and cutting cooperation in the local area.

To put it simply, his playing style is more curved and not as straight as in the first half.

But what makes Leicester City most uncomfortable is the change of positions between Valencia and Blind.

Zhan Jun, who was watching the game from God's perspective at this time, couldn't help but sigh: "At this stage, Manchester United mainly relies on the assists of the full-backs to support the width of the system in positional offense."

"Fans, you can pay attention to Chu Feng, Mkhitaryan and Mata running routes in the rib area."

"Basically, it is to intersperse and connect on both sides of the central axis, and complete the offensive advancement by increasing fluidity and series connection."

"Mourinho is deliberately rehearsing the advancement and penetration in the middle. He has made huge changes compared to last season."

Zhang Lu laughed "hehe" twice and also echoed: "I feel that Manchester United is on the right track, and it will be great in the future."

As the two talked, time continued to pass.

The 64th minute of the game.

Ndidi dribbled the ball near the center circle, and under the interference of Mkhitaryan, he reluctantly sent a long diagonal pass.

The football fell straight to the right.

This pass is not only fast, but also carries intense internal rotation.

It can be said that the quality is extremely poor.

But Mahrez's feet seemed to be covered with glue and he steadily removed the football.

He is indeed one of the best players in football today.

Upon seeing this, Matic quickly shouted: "Steal it on the spot, don't give him a chance to play the ball!"

Then he, Valencia and Chu Feng double-teamed from different directions and attacked Mahrez like a horn.

Mahrez originally wanted to find a teammate in the middle to support him, but looked up and found that Shinji Okazaki had been entangled by Pogba and could not provide any support at all.

So he had to do it by himself.

However, in the small wing space, it is too difficult to break through the defense of three people.

He continuously swayed away from Valencia, but was still intercepted by Matic from the side. Chu Feng’s movement was very clever. He immediately turned around and ran wildly along the side road.

Facts have proved that his choice was not wrong.

After Matic completed the steal, he simply passed the ball to the center.

Mkhitaryan, who retreated to receive the ball, was just about to react to the ball, stabilize the rhythm and then attack again.

But he suddenly heard a familiar voice and made a decisive pass without hesitation.

Snapped!
  With a crisp sound.

The football drew a beautiful parabola and fell in front of the boy who was running desperately.

"Beautiful pass, beautiful movement, Manchester United's quick counterattack. Here it comes!"

"Can you seize the opportunity?"

Chu Feng stopped and headed straight ahead.

At the front of Leicester City's penalty area, Simpson knew that he could no longer retreat, otherwise his opponent would most likely threaten his own goal.

He stepped forward decisively and assumed an impeccable defensive posture.

You will definitely not get through this time!

Chu Feng saw the shadow of his teammate with his peripheral vision, so he dribbled the ball closer to the center and opened up space on the wing.

Valencia understood the situation very well and quickly adjusted his movement direction.

Under the enthusiastic gaze of tens of thousands of Manchester United fans.

Chu Feng slowly slowed down and made a fake shot.

The moment Simpson stretched his legs to intercept, he realized that he had been deceived.

But his focus has been handed over, and he can only watch in despair as the football passes by and rolls towards Valencia on the side.

The latter met the ball and pushed it into the far corner, steadily sending the ball into Leicester City's goal.

The King Power Stadium is boiling again.

Valencia rushed to celebrate excitedly, walked around half a circle and came back to give Chu Feng a warm hug, grinning and praising him.

He thought to himself that the four-month scoring drought had finally been broken, and he wanted to see who would dare to call him "a tile that doesn't shoot" in the future.

“A delightful collaboration!”

"In the 65th minute of the game, Manchester United once again expanded its lead."

"I have to mention Chu Feng here. He has a very clear thinking in the penalty area, pressing the opponent's defense and creating space for his teammates."

Zhan Jun suddenly saw the scene on the sidelines and said doubtfully: "Hey, are Manchester United going to make substitutions?"

"No. 39 McTominay replaces No. 23 Chu Feng, and No. 27 Fellaini replaces No. 22 Mkhitaryan."

The Manchester United fans in the away stands spared no effort in applauding.

Chu Feng first thanked the fans and then walked quickly to the sidelines.

He didn't have much objection to being substituted.

Because of the two-goal lead and this time period, the defense must be strengthened.

Moreover, his continuous breakthroughs in the early stage caused his physical fitness to decline rapidly and he could no longer provide enough impact.

On the edge of the court, Chu Feng high-fived McTominay and encouraged: "Come on!"

The latter nodded vigorously.

When it was Mourinho's turn, he patted Chu Feng on the shoulder, said some words of encouragement, and then continued to direct.

After the game restarts.

Under Mourinho's adjustment.

Manchester United's overall formation reverted to strengthening defense and constantly defusing Leicester City's offense.

McTominay's current strength level is average, he is mainly responsible for defensive responsibilities, and his performance is not too outstanding.

finally.

When the harsh whistle sounded, the game came to an end.
