Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 95 The Devils are halfway through the schedule, losing the Champions League and winning in the league (third update)

11 month 23 day.

Northern Switzerland.

St Jacob's Park Stadium.

In the 89th minute of the game, the score was still 0-0, and Basel got the final corner kick opportunity.

Petretta kicked the ball to the back of the penalty area, and the unmarked Michaelan easily headed the ball into the goal to help Basel beat Manchester United.

Soon at the referee's whistle, the game came to an end.

Swiss powerhouse Basel won the game, and Manchester United's Champions League winning streak came to an end.

The current points for Group A are as follows.

Manchester United ranked first with 12 points, Basel ranked second with 9 points, CSKA Moscow ranked third with 6 points, and Benfica ranked fourth with 0 points.

That is to say, no matter what the final round result is, Manchester United will qualify first in the group.

Mourinho on the sidelines didn't pay too much attention. In order to ensure the condition of the players, he specially brought a group of rotation players here.

The purpose is to avoid the fatigue of travel and travel and retain strength for the next league.

However, this made CSKA Moscow very angry. They believed that Manchester United and Basel were playing tacit football and wanted to squeeze them out. For this reason, they even reported it to UEFA.

Naturally, there will be no results in the end, because this is a normal formation, and it really can't be called a "fake match."

At this time, Chu Feng was stretching with his teammates. After this period of continuous training, his various attributes have increased to a certain extent.

But what troubles him a little is that Inzaghi's "Anti-Offside King" module is progressing very slowly.

This module, unlike other modules, can be improved through repeated practice.

Rather, it is necessary to consider the formation, position, movement and other factors of the players on both sides and make judgments in advance.

However, he soon discovered that he could learn by combining tactics, and by analyzing the trend of the game and the goals of the opponent's players, he could also achieve good results.

For example, Bergkamp’s “First Touch” module emphasizes counter-breaking the opponent’s defensive thinking.

After Chu Feng figured it out, he created his own method.

That is to use game videos, put yourself into the defensive players, and reason backwards based on the results.

Soon the time came to November 11, and the 25th round of the Premier League was about to begin.

Chu Feng and his teammates came to Brighton, a southern coastal city. It was once a summer resort appointed by the royal family and is famous for its beautiful scenery.

But they didn't have time to take a healthy bath in the sea, but came to the American Express Community Stadium in the suburbs.

Brighton has a long history. They were once a founding member of the Southern League, but gradually declined and did not even have their own home ground.

Things turned around in the 2010-11 season, when the injection of new capital allowed Brighton to regain its vitality.

However, they failed in the playoffs for promotion to the Premier League from the British Championship three times in a row. It was not until last season that they entered the Premier League three rounds ahead of schedule due to their outstanding performance.

This is also their first return to the FA top flight since 1983.

Brighton has also entered the top six in the standings this season, and is even regarded by fans as a club that hopes to replicate the "Leicester City Miracle".

Amid the cheers of 30,000 fans.

A huge seagull TIFO unfolds against the wind. It is worth mentioning that seagulls are not synonymous with docility in England, but are regarded as evil-doing animals.

In fact, Brighton's previous logo was a dolphin, but later it was changed to a seagull in order to fight against unfair competition.

With the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

The trained Manchester United players were full of energy, but their tactics at the beginning were slightly conservative. The overall formation did not press forward too much, but defended in their own half.

Brighton, on the other hand, did not look like a newly promoted team at all. Not only did they fight hard, but they also dared to launch attacks. Twenty-three minutes of the game passed unknowingly.

Lindelof completed a crisp tackle, but Brighton winger Conoket suddenly fell to the ground clutching his calf.

The referee did not stop the game.

So Lindelof passed the ball to Pogba, who keenly discovered the gap in Brighton's formation and decisively kicked off to send a through ball.

Chu Feng suddenly changed from horizontal movement to vertical movement, causing the defensive players marking him to fail to keep up in time.

Brighton players immediately raised their hands to indicate offside, but the referee did not see the linesman raise the flag and signaled the game to continue.

But Chu Feng didn't pay attention at all. As long as the whistle didn't sound, he just moved forward.

Single sword!

Due to the vast space in front of him, he no longer used the pendulum to pass people. He just used a simple acceleration to throw away the goalkeeper, and then easily pushed into the empty goal.

0-1!

This made the Brighton fans in the stands very unhappy, because they felt that their players were injured and their opponents should stop attacking.

But they quickly shut up.

Because when Conoket saw that the game was about to restart, he stood up with a whoosh, as if nothing happened.

In fact, some weak teams often use the "lying on grass" tactic when facing strong teams, which is to frequently fall to the ground and pretend to be injured to interrupt the rhythm of the game.

After the game restarted, two defensive players appeared next to Chu Feng, making it difficult for him to gain space through movement.

Upon seeing this, Mourinho immediately replaced Mkhitaryan and replaced him with Rashford, who had a stronger impact.

Then Manchester United started the simplest way of flying together on both wings, constantly using speed to get to the bottom, and then allowing the towers to penetrate.

Under such a war of attrition, Manchester United quickly achieved results.

The 54th minute of the game.

Rashford made a breakthrough on the right and passed directly.

Matic, who came in from the back row, took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, heading the ball into the goal to help Manchester United win another victory.

The mental attributes of Brighton players are indeed very strong. Even if they were two goals behind, they still maintained their fighting spirit and continued to use long passes to hit the Manchester United defense.

The 78th minute of the game.

Brighton midfielder Gross advanced with the ball, and suddenly a pass came.

Lindelof made a relatively low-level mistake. He thought that according to the trajectory of football, he should be able to intercept it.

But he actually slipped and fell.

Glenn Murray passed by him, facing De Gea who abandoned the goal, and finished the goal with a light flick.

1-2!

This goal boosted the morale of the Brighton players. They took advantage of the opportunity to continue to launch fierce attacks, constantly lifting the football into the penalty area, creating chaos and seeking opportunities.

The Manchester United players could only retreat continuously and barely survive this dangerous period.

The 87th minute of the game.

De Gea passed the ball to the left with a big kick from the backcourt. Chu Feng stopped the ball lightly and avoided Conoket's steal. He was just about to counterattack with the ball when he was caught by Conoket.

So he received another yellow card.

In the end, the game ended with a score of 1-2. Manchester United once again won a victory and remained undefeated in 12 rounds of the Premier League.

Manchester United's last game in November will be at home against Newcastle United.
