Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 257
Manchester United played in a 442 formation.

The two players in the middle of the midfield are Scholes and Alan Smith. The four midfielders are in a diamond shape. Scholes is the core of the offense and can be said to be a central midfielder. The defensive midfielder must take into account the defensive task.

However, the position is only a theoretical division of labor. In a real game, the game situation will also lead to some changes in tactical coordination. For example, in the current game, Manchester United has been suppressing Millwall with offense. The continuous cooperation makes Millwall only shrink. Formation defense, most of the time, football is under the control of Manchester United players, their offense is continuous, and the tactical division of labor is not so clear.

When Manchester United launched an attack, Alan Smith stood on the left side and cooperated closely with the left forward Fred, and had little cooperation with C-Ronaldo on the other side.

Scholes stood on the right, but was defended by Millwall to death.

After two seasons, C-Ronaldo has grown a lot. His ability is recognized by everyone. Many times Manchester United's offense is also played around him. C-Ronaldo will become the initiator of the offense and also the terminator of the offense. , he shoulders the main offensive task and can be said to be the 'super player' in the game.

Now C-Ronaldo is in trouble.

When Scholes is restricted, there will be fewer passes to him. It is not easy for C-Ronaldo to cooperate with Scholes. He can only break through with the ball several times in a row. It is very gorgeous, and its explosive power is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Joey Healy has been swayed continuously, and he can only cooperate with left back Konchesky to defend C-Ronaldo. The defense of the two also makes C-Ronaldo very uncomfortable. Every time he passes Joey Healy, he has to face Joey Healy and Konchesky's front and rear double-teams, and he will also face a fairly dense defense in the middle of the cut. Long passing is not what he is good at. It is too difficult for Lu to rely on short passes to penetrate Millwall's defense.

Manchester United's offensive on the right was blocked, and they began to seek an offensive on the left.

It's been 25 minutes since the game, and Manchester United has been playing around Millwall half-court. Millwall has little ability to fight back, but from the beginning to now, Manchester United haven't got any good chances, which is still surprising. .

It's normal not to score a goal for more than 20 minutes, but not even finding a chance is enough to prove Millwall's defensive ability.

Many media have begun to discuss --
"Millwall did a good job defending!"

"Manchester United has never had a chance. Scholes doesn't seem to be doing very well. He has been targeted!"

"C-Ronaldo was also defended to death!"

"The focus of Millwall's defense is Ronaldo's way. Manchester United still look for opportunities in another way!"

"..."

During the media discussion, Manchester United also began to try to find opportunities from the left. After the backcourt players got the ball, they began to seek to pass the ball to the left.

This is targeted play.

Millwall's defense is mainly aimed at the right side, Scholes must be restricted, and C-Ronaldo should also pay attention to dribbling forward.

These two players were the main targets of defense for Millwall.

When the defense on the left and the center is taken care of, the defense on the right is sloppy. There are only eleven players in a football game, and it is impossible to take care of every line of defense. What's more, there is an obvious gap in the basic abilities of the players on both sides, and they want to defend all positions. is impossible.

Millwall can only rely on two players on the right: right forward Josh Simpson and right back Alan Hutton, because it is necessary to pay attention to the defense of other positions. If the right is penetrated, it is not easy for the central defender to defend .

Alan Hutton's performance has become very important.

If you compare other players, Alan Hutton is not bad. He is the main full-back of Glasgow Rangers and can perform well in the Premier League, but Alan Hutton is still a bit too young, only 21 years old is not enough How much experience he has in major competitions, not to mention, the opponent is Manchester United. When facing each star, it is very uncertain what Alan Hutton can do.

Zhang Yang hopes that Alan Hutton can withstand the pressure.

The only good thing about this match against Manchester United is that Manchester United's left forward Giggs was injured and could not represent the team. The replacement for Giggs was Fletcher, who was born in the Manchester United youth academy.

Alan Hutton is also playing against Fletcher.

Fletcher was a little arrogant.

In the entire Manchester United formation, Fletcher is just an ordinary player.

If the main players are not injured, or the team needs to be rotated, Fletcher will rarely have the opportunity to start, but he is still proud. Many players from Manchester United's youth training, as long as they can be promoted to the first team, the future is tantamount to a bright future. It's time: They will definitely grow into Manchester United's main force and soon become world-renowned stars.

Fletcher is one of them.

There are many talented stars in the Manchester United youth team, each of whom is worth hundreds of thousands of pounds or over a million pounds, but most of them cannot enter the Manchester United first team. They are old enough to either choose to be loaned for experience, or leave the team to join other clubs .

This is the cruel aspect of professional football.

Fletcher is better than most of his 'former team-mates'. Not many have been promoted to the first team as a midfielder, and only Richardson has done it in the same period. Everyone else is still in the youth team. Or simply choose to leave, and because of this, Fletcher has the capital of arrogance, many media have regarded him as a star, and Manchester United fans also agree that he will be the future support of Manchester United.

In the star-studded Manchester United team, Fletcher has nothing to be proud of. Most of the teammates around him are better than him, such as C-Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, who are similar in age, have already become big stars. They also have more chances to play than him, and are more famous than him, let alone their salary.

But facing Millwall players, especially a Millwall player of the same age, Fletcher is proud enough.

He will be a big star in the future!
What about the other party?
This guy who doesn't know his name seems to have seen his name before the game... Well, I think he's a Scot?So much for this guy.Following Millwall to participate in the Premier League will be the pinnacle of his career. The opponent has reached the pinnacle, and his brilliant achievements have just begun.

The gap between the two is that big!

When Manchester United tried to attack the left wing, Fletcher knew his chance was coming. When there are more opportunities to touch the ball, there are more opportunities to perform.

Next, Fletcher began to attack Millwall from the left!

Fletcher's technique is excellent. When he met Josh Simpson with the ball, he accelerated and left Simpson behind.

Fletcher suddenly became more proud!
Let's see!
Josh Simpson is constantly being praised by the media in the Millwall team. The so-called 'David Beckham successor' is just hype. .

The next thing Fletcher has to face is Alan Hutton.

Fletcher didn't pay attention to Alan Hutton at all. He got the ball once at the beginning of the game, and the opponent was easily thrown away by him.

Alan Hutton is just a newcomer in the Premier League. He has no strength at all, let alone defensive experience. It is already quite lucky to be able to follow Millwall to participate in the Premier League. Now let him know the gap between them .

At the same time, there is an opportunity to perform!
As long as he passes Alan Hutton again, he can dribble the ball into the penalty area. Even if he dribbles the ball along the side, he can pass the ball to the center in a good position to create opportunities for his teammates.It's hard to say the result of an attack, but as long as you keep dribbling the ball, completing breakthroughs and passing the ball again and again, it is enough to bring countless opportunities to your teammates, and it is also enough to make yourself the focus of the audience.

Fletcher thought beautifully.

What Fletcher didn't expect was that Alan Hutton's defense was very tough. As soon as he approached, the opponent took the initiative to fight for it, and at the same time stuck to him with his body. Suddenly he felt bad and realized that he had to Difficulties faced: Difficult to make room for a kick unless you get off your opponent quickly.

Fletcher tried his best to protect the ball, but still took the ball over the baseline.

When turning around and walking back, Fletcher gritted his teeth fiercely. He knew that not only did he not perform well, but he also wasted an offensive opportunity.

"hateful!"

"Boy, wait for the next time!"

Fletcher talked trash hard, and then secretly glanced at the referee, a little afraid that the trash talk would be heard by the referee. If he got a yellow card like this, it would be a bit of a waste.

Alan Hutton ignored Fletcher and just shrugged slightly.

Alan Hutton discovered a very interesting thing: he thought that Manchester United were all big stars, and their technical prowess must not be bad, so he had to defend cautiously, but this guy in front of him seemed to be different.

Maybe this is your chance?
In previous games, the Millwall team had outstanding performances, always a few frontcourt players. He was just a full-back and was responsible for defense most of the time, so it was difficult to have any chance to perform.

But now, it seems like an opportunity?

----

Manchester United's attack continued.

Millwall's rare counterattack is also difficult to play too far forward, so he can only focus most of his energy on defending San.

The game situation highlighted the gap between the two sides.

After continuing to attack on the right to no avail, Manchester United focused on the left, and they found the emptiness of Millwall's defense on the right.

Manchester United's left corresponds to Millwall's right.

Josh Simpson's defensive ability is not very strong, and most of the defensive pressure is concentrated on Alan Hutton alone. For a 21-year-old player who just came to the Premier League, the offensive pressure of facing the giants is a bit too cruel.

The reporters in the media box noticed this, and they started discussing, "That Scottish player is going to be overwhelmed!"

"Simpson should pull back some!"

"Simpson's defensive ability is too poor, he is always easily passed again and again!"

"Millwall still wanted to counterattack, so Simpson stayed on the court! But the current situation is optimistic. The Scottish player seems to be named Hutton?"

"Yes, at Rangers last season!"

"poor guy!"

"Probably he will be taught a lesson! If Hutton is broken, Millwall's goal is also in danger! It seems that the goal is approaching!"

"..."

Following the analysis of the reporters on the media table, Manchester United also looked for opportunities on the left side again and again.

Fletcher was rather annoyed when he broke through once and failed, but turned to the second attack, and Alan Smith asked for the ball, and he had to pass the ball.

This time Fletcher has the ball again.

Smith is defending the opponent's midfielder, and Fletcher has the right to choose. He can make a long pass, cooperate with teammates behind him, or dribble the ball himself. Fletcher chooses without hesitation. With regard to the latter, he already had an experience. Just now, the opponent made a decisive move, so this time he also wanted to trick the opponent into making a move, and took the opportunity to speed up and throw the opponent away.

But Fletcher was disappointed again.

Alan Hutton followed all the way to the baseline, and he didn't choose to step out. Instead, he stuck his body tightly to him, and didn't even give him a chance to pass the ball. As a result, Fletcher dribbled the ball out of the baseline again.

Fletcher gave Alan Hutton a hard look, and finally realized that the other party was a bit difficult to deal with.

"Should be more serious," Fletcher said to himself.

He dribbled the ball out of the baseline twice in a row. Not only Fletcher himself was disappointed, but other teammates were also very dissatisfied. Smith ran over and shouted, "Pay attention to the pass!"

"it is good."

Fletcher responded helplessly.

In Manchester United's dressing room, it is difficult for a fringe young midfielder to have any say, and Fletcher dare not refute Smith.

Soon the next opportunity will come.

Fletcher has learned a lesson, he no longer dribbles recklessly, but controls the ball, looking for breakthrough opportunities while also observing the positions of his teammates.

Alan Hutton didn't rush forward, but just jogged closer, as if letting Fletcher pass the ball.

Fletcher was a little surprised. He was going to wait for Alan Hutton to rush over before handing the ball to his teammate.He didn't dare to continue to break through, but it was also very interesting to play tricks on the opponent.But the other party didn't rush over, he hesitated for a while, and in the moment of hesitation, he realized that there was a figure behind him, and the football under his feet was also kicked away. When he realized that something was wrong, the football had already been kicked At the feet of Alan Hutton.

Only then did Fletcher realize that he was being pinched from front to back!
"asshole!"

Fletcher was a little annoyed. He attacked three times in a row, dribbled the ball out of the baseline twice, and was directly intercepted once. This kind of performance can't be called good.

Probably the coach will be very disappointed, right?

Fletcher was a little afraid to look at the coach's bench, for fear of seeing that angry face!
Others did not expect that Fletcher's performance was so poor, or that Millwall's Scottish full-back performed so well. Every time the opponent was able to deal with it calmly, Fletcher was completely at a disadvantage in the confrontation with him.

Fletcher is considered to be "the future pillar of Manchester United", and his strength will definitely be analyzed by many people. His technical coordination ability is quite good. Although he is not qualified to play the main force of Manchester United, if he is in an ordinary Premier League team, he is enough. Occupy a main position.

At this time, many people realized that Millwall's young right-back Alan Hutton was also a player worthy of attention.
