Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 63 A rich arsenal of weapons
  Manchester United on the bench.

"Zlatan, it seems our luck is not good."

Chu Feng covered his mouth and whispered.

Ibrahimovic curled his lips and said domineeringly: "That's because I wasn't replaced."

After several months of training, he has re-entered the squad and his return to the green field is just around the corner.

Chu Feng smiled and said nothing, silently reviewing the first half of the game in his mind in case of emergency.

Manchester United planned a lot of attacks, basically hitting behind the opponent's defender.

However, due to the high level of offside caused by Benfica players, they often use their positioning to lure Manchester United players into traps, thereby defusing Manchester United's offensive.

Therefore, Manchester United's advantage in the first half was very obvious, but there were not many real threats.

Injury time period.

Manchester United got a corner kick on the right. Mkhitaryan stretched out two fingers and quickly passed the ball to the penalty spot.

Lukaku overpowered several defenders and scored with a flick of his head.

However, the referee signaled that the goal was invalid because Lukaku committed a foul when taking off.

This made Benfica fans so arrogant that they booed deafeningly and seized the opportunity to ridicule and ridicule.

“You can’t play football without setting up a bus?”

"Are you capable of entering one? Aren't you very powerful?"

"It was the most correct choice to tell you to get out at that time!"

As long as they recall that Porto won the Champions League, the Portuguese Super League and the Portuguese Cup, they will be furious.

Mourinho still didn't respond and walked quickly to the locker room.

After a few minutes.

"Remember, Benfica cannot maintain concentration for 90 minutes. They cannot defend with high intensity throughout the game."

"Next, we will continue to strengthen the offensive rhythm, mainly on the left wing, with more wing breakthroughs."

"Chu, as usual, I will replace you in about 70 minutes."

"."

Mourinho talked about tactical adjustments in detail.

Soon the players from both sides returned to the field, and at the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.

Manchester United's offensive strategy has obviously changed.

While Rashford used his speed to frequently make breakthroughs from the wing, the other players also began to pass less and instead chose to shoot more from the outside.

Benfica's goalkeeper is Sveral from Belgium. He is only 17 years old, so his overall technical level is not high.

Faced with Manchester United's heavy artillery, they gradually became confused.

Benfica's overall formation had to move forward so that Manchester United players could not easily take long shots.

But this results in increased space behind you.

So in the 63rd minute of the game, Matic completed the steal in midfield and passed the ball directly to the left wing.

Rashford started on the spot and burst forward, but was dragged to the ground by the Benfica full-back.

"foul!"

"Manchester United won a free kick on the left side of the frontcourt. Let's see who will take it?"

"He chose to do it himself!"

Rashford silently took five steps back, took a deep breath, and recalled the details of his idol's free kick.

The run-up shot was completed in one go.

The football went straight over the goal and suddenly fell violently.

However, Svelar's position was too far forward, and it was too late to take off again. After all, he paid the price of his youth.

"Rashford! Nice lift ball!"

"Manchester United takes the lead!"

The Stadium of Light suddenly burst into loud cheers. The Manchester United fans who traveled with the team were very enthusiastic and repaid all the taunts sent by their previous opponents.

"Yell! Why don't you bark?"

"If you can't even maneuver a bus, how can you play football?"

Mourinho, who was on the sidelines of the court, directly responded with his face and made a shut-up gesture with his fingers.

The stands suddenly became noisy.

Benfica fans took out their belongings and smashed them down, including water bottles, keychains, car keys, and some even wanted to dismantle the bench.

However, with the intervention of riot police, the chaos was quickly calmed down.

The game continues.

Mourinho did not continue to defend conservatively, but made substitutions in the 70th minute as planned.

Rashford and Chu Feng high-fived each other on the sidelines of the court.

"That free kick is beautiful!"

"Haha, come on!"

Although the competition between the two is becoming more and more intense, this has not affected their relationship, and on the contrary, they are closer than before.

The situation on the green field changed again.

In accordance with Mourinho's request, Manchester United continued to launch a violent offensive on the left wing, leaving no time for the opponent to breathe.

What troubles Benfica players is that Chu Feng's technical style is very different from Rashford's, and he is better at using his skills at his feet to make continuous breakthroughs.

Chu Feng took the opportunity to show off his two months of study results.

He made crosses with his left foot, crosses at a 45-degree angle, and cut and shot laterally. As he kept switching his arsenal, Benfica's defense became increasingly chaotic.

After just ten minutes passed, Pereira and Feisa each received a yellow card.

Of course, Chu Feng's body was also covered with dirt and grass clippings. Fortunately, the current football rules are relatively complete, and his playing style is very smart, so there were no serious injuries.

The 83th minute of the game.

Pereira made a pass from the edge, but due to interference from Smalling, Jimenez's header was weak.

De Gea easily picked up the ball and threw it directly to Blind on the left.

The latter faced Pereira's pressing and passed the ball lightly.

Chu Feng steadily unloaded the ball in front of him, quickly raised his head to observe the position of his teammates, and completed the long pass before Feissa could grab it.

Because Benfica tilted too many defensive resources on the right, the left side was very empty.

At this time, Mata was already ready and passed the ball to Mkhitaryan in the middle, who penetrated Benfica's defense with a diagonal kick.

Lukaku easily pushed the ball into the near corner.

Wow! ! !
  Manchester United fans shouted again and gave them warm applause.

After scoring, Lukaku celebrated in a very arrogant way. He stretched out two fingers towards the home stands and shook them rhythmically.

This caused the Benfica fans, who had finally calmed down, to riot again. They blurted out obscene words such as "bitch" and "bastard" and kept the riot police busy for a while.

"Keep a low profile. After all, we are on someone else's territory."

Mata quickly ran over to stop him.

"Chu, your long pass is getting better and better."

Lukaku smiled "hehe", pretended to be innocent, and changed the topic.

Chu Feng imitated and giggled twice, "It's all from Carrick's teachings."

Mata sighed helplessly, feeling like he was raising a baby, but he was not very good at this, so it would be best to let Ibrahimovic do it.

However, he suddenly thought that if Ibrahimovic was present, he might behave even more arrogantly.

Mkhitaryan looked at the harmonious atmosphere among his teammates, and subconsciously glanced at the coaching bench, thinking that the atmosphere in the team was getting better and better, and he should be able to achieve good results this season.

The game soon resumed.

Even though Manchester United had a two-goal lead, they still did not give up the attack.
