Chapter 599: The Massacre Begins
Once the game began, the tactics of both sides were quickly clear. (No pop-up ads)
As Ferguson had predicted, Gamba Osaka contracted to defend and stick to the counter-attack. Naturally, Manchester United are attacking aggressively and they want to score quickly, preferably in the first half.
Hargreaves pressed through the half, Nani came from the wing, the latter raised his hand to ask for the ball, Hargreaves passed, however, his passing intention was seen by the opponent, the pass was tackled by Gamba Osaka's midfielder Ridai Yasuda, however, Hargreaves reacted quickly and immediately went up to counter-attack. Rita Yasuda didn't expect the Manchester United to fly back so quickly, and was directly put down by Lianren with the ball.
After breaking the ball, Hargreaves quickly played the ball, Scholes, who received the ball, pulled the ball horizontally and looked ahead, and passed a through ball, Cristiano Ronaldo cut in high to receive the ball.
Suddenly the atmosphere at the Yokohama National Stadium changed, and the Japanese fans immediately became nervous, and of course, some Japanese Manchester United fans excitedly chanted Cristiano Ronaldo's name. The new European Mr. Golden Ball still has a lot of fans in Japan.
Manchester United's players are not familiar with Gamba Osaka's players, and they don't deliberately understand them, but Gamba Osaka knows Manchester United's players quite thoroughly. Of course, they knew how good Cristiano Ronaldo was, and when they saw Cristiano Ronaldo take the ball, someone immediately came up to intercept him.
This is Gamba Osaka's right-back Shota Nakazawa, who reacts fairly quickly. Hargreaves rushed over when he passed the ball and tried to hold Cristiano Ronaldo down.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo's speed was too fast, and Nakazawa Shota let him break through with a hesitation in the face of Cristiano Ronaldo's feints.
"Ronaldo broke through! beautiful feints!" the commentator cheered for Cristiano Ronaldo's breakthrough, "It's so fast!"
"Stop him!!!middle lane!middle lane!go up!!!" Osaka Gamba goalkeeper Yosuke Tengya shouted in front of the door. The middle is empty, and once Cristiano Ronaldo crosses the middle, if someone comes up, he can shoot head-on to the goal.
Of course, the biggest threat in Yosuke Tengya's eyes now is Cristiano Ronaldo with the ball, and he quickly moves his body to the front of the post, which is to prevent Cristiano Ronaldo from suddenly cutting inside and then shooting - the Portuguese is very good at scoring this way.
Cristiano Ronaldo made a feint attempt to cut inside in the corner of the box, and Yosuke Tengya and Gamba Osaka's right centre-back Tomoshi Yamaguchi made an immediate move, one of them sinking his center of gravity and the other immediately turning sideways to block the shot.
However, they were fooled, Cristiano Ronaldo This was just a feint, only to see him flick the ball outside and go straight to the bottom!
Then when Yosuke Tengya raised the center of gravity in a panic, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly cut inside when he was close to the bottom line, which was an oblique inward cut, and the breakthrough was very decisive!
In the face of Tomoshi Yamaguchi, who came up in a hurry to block, Cristiano Ronaldo lifted his right foot!
This time it's a real shot!
The football flew towards the goal, the ball speed was extremely fast, Osaka Gamba goalkeeper Yosuke Tengya only felt a white light flash in his eyes, he subconsciously reached out to block, his luck was good, and the outstretched left arm knocked the football out. (Good Novel)
"Pounce out!" shouted the Japanese commentator.
At this time, Yang Fan, who had been following up in the middle, suddenly broke free from the close marking of another Osaka Gamba fullback Jia Diliang, and then rushed forward with a powerful rush!
Header shot!
Yosuke Tengya didn't react, he couldn't do anything about this follow-up shot, and the ball flew into the goal from his side!
The ball is in!
Yang Fan opened the scoring for Manchester United!
It was only five minutes before the start of the game.
※※※※※※※
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaal!”
“yang’s――goooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!”
"Shot!Yang Fan!Yang Fan!Ball in! In, in, in! 1-0! Yang Fan's goal!"
"Manchester United scored! Gamba Osaka's goal was lost after only five minutes! Yang Fan's goal! Scoring so quickly is a wonderful start for the European champions! Gamba Osaka's defense looks so weak in the face of Manchester United's superstars, neither Okiyawa Shota nor Tomotoshi Yamaguchi can stop Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ryo Kadi can't keep an eye on Yang Fan! Manchester United's superstars show the Japanese team how strong they are!"
After the goal, Yang Fan's celebration was simple, he ran to the side of the stands and raised a finger.
It's easy to understand what it means, it was his first goal of the day.
A simple celebratory gesture, but with a huge murderous aura. Although Yang Fan did not make any statement before the game, now his action clearly sends a message: in this game, he is going to kill!
The fans of Gamba Osaka at the scene let out huge boos, and it is true that some of these Japanese fans are also fans of Yang Fan, but at this moment, in the face of Yang Fan's strong and unscrupulous arrogant behavior, and considering the hostility between Japan and China, this time the Japanese fans were stimulated......
Yang Fan's celebration posture didn't last long, an opponent like Gamba Osaka, scoring their goals, there is nothing to show off, if it weren't for the fact that the opponent was a Japanese team, Yang Fan would not have made such a celebratory move.
After celebrating the goal. Yang Fan high-fived Cristiano Ronaldo again, and he said in Ronaldo's ear: "Thank you for the pass, Cristiano ......"
The corners of Cristiano Ronaldo's mouth twitched, he was obviously shooting just now, this guy didn't mean it. He just wanted to speak, but Yang Fan had already run away, which made him depressed, gritted his teeth and swore that he would definitely score a goal in a while.
Nishino Lang saw Yang Fan squeezing away Jia Di Liang in his penalty area, and when he made up for the header, he closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it anymore. The result is already no suspense, the strength of that Chinese is too strong, let him get such a shooting opportunity, how can this goal not score.
Sure enough, Yang Fan scored a supplementary shot to help Manchester United take the lead in the score. Nishino Lang did not immediately get up and go to the sidelines to direct the team, but sat in his seat and thought, conceding the ball at the beginning, what should Gamba Osaka do in such a situation?
Osaka Gamba head coach Nishino Rou is a typical kick and excellent coach, because as a famous striker in the late 70s and early 80s of the last century, he is an indispensable main player in the national team and the club, after retiring from the game in 1990, he became the club's assistant coach, and the following year he was promoted to the head coach of the national youth team to become a turning point in coaching, after years of ups and downs, he has been coaching the Osaka Gamba team since 2002, and he is also one of the few professional coaches who can coach a team for six years.
The tactics formulated by Nishino Lang for Gamba Osaka is to defend and counterattack, and one of the prerequisites of this tactic is not to concede the ball and do a good job of defense, and now, Manchester United is ahead, in this case, will Gamba Osaka continue to adhere to the tactics of defensive counterattack? or not defend, attack?
※※※※※※※
After taking the lead, United played more relaxed and aggressive.
They completely took the initiative on the field.
Nani dribbled the ball on the side, attracting the attention of Gamba Osaka, and suddenly crossed, Yang Fan came out of the penalty area to respond, after he stopped the ball on his chest, he made a move to dribble forward, but suddenly a diagonal pass to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Gamba Osaka midfielder Ryuji Sato came up to intercept.
Facing Ryuji Uto, who defended him, Cristiano Ronaldo didn't seem to have the Japanese in his sights. He planned to break through from the other side after a dummy and then drive straight with the ball, but Cristiano Ronaldo just made a move and realized that something was wrong, and the opponent reacted quickly and made a decisive interception.
Cristiano Ronaldo showed the strength of today's football superstars at this time, only to see that he was quick to strain, immediately pulled the football back again, and then turned around on the spot for a half, and at the same time knocked with his heel, the ball rolled between the legs of Ryyuji Uto, and at the same time Cristiano Ronaldo bypassed the defender and caught up with the football.
However, Gamba Osaka's players are clearly focused on Cristiano Ronaldo, who has just broken through Ryyuji Bando and a new interceptor has appeared in front of him. The two men were about to collide with each other, and this man was planning to make a tactical foul to stop United's attack.
Ronaldo reacted quickly and poked the ball out with his toe just as he was about to collide with Masato Yamazaki.
It was Rooney who received the ball, and he also did not dribble the ball, but passed the football to Yang Fan.
For Yang Fan's defense, Osaka Gamba also paid great attention to it, Yang Fan just received the ball, pulled the ball and turned around, and someone came up to defend.
Satoshi Nakazawa intercepted head-on, and Endo Hohito, who was back on the defensive, responded by the side, eyeing him fiercely.
Yang Fan made a few feints, however, Satoshi Nakazawa was not fooled, but it was Endo Hohito who suddenly grabbed it, but fortunately, Yang Fan reacted quickly, buckled the football back, and controlled it at his feet.
Yang Fan saw that there was no chance to break through in a short period of time, so he simply gave up the idea of breaking through and passed the football back to Scholes......
The Japanese commentator immediately shouted: "Yang Fan chose to retreat and escape in the confrontation with Gamba Osaka!"
There are many Chinese in Japan, as well as those supporters of Yang Fan, who are also watching the live broadcast of this game in front of the TV, and when they hear the commentator shouting like this, they really want to smoke the commentator's mouth.
Soon, though, they jumped up and cheered.
Scholes, who received Yang Fan's return pass, did not stop the ball, but suddenly shifted diagonally, his vision was very broad, and he directly transferred the football to the other side, and Hargreaves understood the high insertion. The England international scrambled to unload the ball before Gamba Osaka's defender Ryo Gadi, and at the same time was about to cut inside, Ryo Gadi's immediate step up to stop Hargreaves' breakthrough.
Gadiliang was fooled, Hargreaves didn't really break through, but passed the ball out, and then people saw Nani plug in at high speed, facing the rolling ball, he didn't stop the ball, and directly rubbed the ball into the penalty area.
Rooney, who was in front of him, rushed over to head the ball but he was stuck in position by Yamaguchi and couldn't touch the ball.
Then people saw a figure rushing up.
This is Yang Fan who is inserted in the back, his whole body is in the air, his body is leaning back, his right foot is stepping forward, and he kicks the football into the goal with an unconventional shooting action similar to a flying kick!
The second!
