Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 64 The connection between two teenagers

In fact, Mourinho is not mindlessly arranging the bus. He is more accustomed to defending against strong teams and attacking weak teams.

Just like now, although Benfica dominates the Portuguese Super League, they could not even play CSKA Moscow before, let alone Manchester United today.

The 86th minute of the game.

Mourinho replaced Mkhitaryan with McTominay.

Benfica replaced a defender and replaced it with a forward.

At this time, Victoria, who was sitting on the coaching bench next to the court, had a gloomy face and her eyebrows were wrinkled.

As for the reason?

When Mourinho coached Benfica, he was the coach of Benfica's youth team.

And they even tried to stumble behind the scenes. After all, under the circumstances at that time, if you didn't stand in line, you would be kicked out.

So he didn't want to lose to the opponent in such an embarrassing manner. At least he wanted to score a face-saving goal. It was a middle-aged man's self-esteem.

The game continued on the green field at this time, and McTominay quickly ran to his position.

His heart is full of expectations. This is his first appearance in the Champions League. It would be perfect if he could score twice.

After all, he and Chu Feng were both youth training players and had been roommates for three years, so their relationship was naturally extraordinary.

And every time he watched Chu Feng dominate the field on the bench, he was happy for Chu Feng, but also had some complicated emotions.

But he also knew the hard work behind Chu Feng, so he later reduced his entertainment activities and focused on training, just to catch up with his good friends as soon as possible.

"Scott, don't forget that your position is the midfielder. Please rush forward faster later!"

Chu Feng reminded.

In fact, in the Manchester United team, McTominay was positioned as a defensive midfielder and was often placed in the backcourt to participate in defense.

But it turns out that this effect is not good.

Because he was born in the center position, coupled with his tall stature and keen sense of smell, he can often play an important role in forward attacks.

Perhaps Mourinho asked McTominay to replace Mkhitaryan today as an experiment.

McTominay responded loudly, saying that being able to compete on the same stage with good friends makes people full of motivation.

After the game restarts.

Manchester United's control in the midfield and frontcourt decreased, so they reduced their control of the ball and at the same time made the formation retreat slightly, playing a trick of luring the snake out of its hole.

On the other hand, Benfica players began to press forward and increase the scope of their defensive actions.

Soon they regained the ball as they wished, and Feissa found Benfica's midfielder Pizzi with a straight pass.

The latter shook out of space continuously and connected with center Jimenez.

However, Lindelof and Smalling seemed to have been prepared for it. The two of them sandwiched Jimenez in the middle like a closed door and completed a crisp steal.

Then Manchester United began to advance quickly along the right side. After Herrera saw the space Chu Feng ran out of, he made a diagonal pass near the center circle.

Chu Feng continued to stop and attack towards the bottom line.

And once Barcelona full-back Pereira was pulling and pulling, he wished he could grow eight hands.

However, due to his excessive physical exertion, coupled with his height of 170cm and weight of only 60kg, he was completely unable to hold Chu Feng back after he started to speed up.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans.

Chu Feng slowly slowed down after entering the restricted area, as if waiting for something.

at the same time.

Lukaku, Matic and McTominay were like the Manchester Air Force. After taking off along the wide runway, they rushed to the front, middle and rear points respectively, implementing multi-point bombing tactics.

This caused Benfica's defense to become chaotic.

Ruben Dias subconsciously kept an eye on Lukaku, who threatened him the most, but he really had no time to take care of the other two.

And at the moment when the defensive player stepped forward to steal.

Chu Feng's right foot suddenly swung, as if he was rubbing a shot or passing the ball, leaving people unable to guess his intentions.

Snapped!
  With a crisp sound. The football is like a brilliant rainbow, spinning and falling towards the back of the penalty area.

And McTominay transformed into a B2 ghost bomber and slammed the ball into the net with his head.

0-3!

The Stadium of Light became agitated again. Listening to the roar after the goal, McTominay subconsciously ran towards the corner area and performed a passionate kneel-down celebration.

Then he stood up again and hugged Chu Feng, so excited that he was a little incoherent.

"Chu, I scored a goal, and I also scored a goal in my Champions League debut!"

The smile on Chu Feng's face was sincere and he shouted loudly: "Scott, that's right, you scored!"

McTominay could not calm down his excitement for a long time. He joined the Manchester United youth training camp at the age of 5. It can be said that the blood of the Red Devils flows in his body and he understands the spirit of Manchester United better than anyone else.

When he was young, his short stature meant that he rarely got opportunities to play, and he was even bullied by his peers.

Someone gave him a message at that time.

"People's talents are not easily revealed."

So he persisted.

The sudden rise of Chu Feng just confirmed the correctness of this sentence. Now years of hard work have finally come to fruition.

McTominay looked at his good friend in front of him, and countless images flashed through his mind.

In order to help Chu Feng fight with Milche and others, not only was he unable to participate in training for a week, but he was also reprimanded by Sir Alex Ferguson.

However, the relationship between the two has become better and better because of this, and they have spent the boring time of youth training side by side.

Support each other and grow together in each other's company.

McTominay suddenly whispered: "Thank you!"

"I won't accept this. I have to treat you to dinner when I get back. It just so happens that a Shaxian snack shop just opened outside the base."

Chu Feng deliberately looked contemptuous.

The emotion in McTominay's heart disappeared. He rolled his eyes twice and asked tentatively: "Chu, can you pass it to me again later?"

"Look, I'm in a hurry. I'll definitely pass the ball to you if I get the chance."

Chu Feng patted the other party's shoulder angrily.

At this time, Mourinho, who was on the sidelines of the court, was full of joy. His first impression when he saw McTominay was that the freckle-faced child looked like a "mad dog".

It's not meant to be derogatory or insulting.

It's because the opponent has an indescribable madness, so he promoted McTominay, who was mediocre, from the youth team.

Now it seems that my vision is quite good, and both disciples performed very well.

Victoria on the other side could no longer stand it and turned around angrily to leave.

Today is a complete loss, and the hope of qualifying for the Champions League has become slim. If we can't make up for it in the league, I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before get out of class.

When the game restarted, the morale of the Benfica players dropped to the bottom, and everyone huddled behind to defend.

Beep-beep!

Soon the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Benfica 0-3 Manchester United!

　　It’s not water. Wheat is an important supporting role in the outline, so there will be a little more ink.

　　If you are interested, you can search for the mentoring video of DY Football Memory. The video is too long and I can’t finish the Easter egg chapter. It tells the mentoring story of Mourinho and McTominay, and you can also introduce the protagonist a little bit.

　　And I personally like the child Mai very much.
