Chapter 264: Second □□:

United's starting eleven and line-up were announced an hour before the start of the game, and it was around this time that Barcelona were in a very clear tactical position, and surprisingly, Ferguson fielded a fully defensive formation: 6-3-1.

Goalkeeper: David De Gea

Defence: Samba, Amos, Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Evans, Rafael

Midfielders: Nani, Kaka, Ashley Young

Forward: Leander

This lineup is very strange, almost all of the uninjured at the back have started, the three in the midfield are okay, and the forward line is very unexpected...... Leander's start is certain, he is in good shape, his momentum is like a rainbow, Rooney ate a red card in the last round, and he didn't even have a chance to play today, I thought Ferguson would let Welbeck partner with England's new idol, but now it is really unclear what the situation is.

Is there a problem with their cooperation? Can't get along?

Fans have been thinking a lot in their hearts, and the commentary did not analyze it for the first time, but posted the lineup, and at the same time announced the starting eleven of Barcelona.

There were also surprises on Barcelona's side, such as Cesc Fabregas and Pedro both on the bench, and on the whole, the tactical idea was clear, that is, 4-3-3, they fell behind at home in the first leg, and the visit to Old Trafford was bound to fight, and the advantage of not being able to play two goals had to drag the game to extra time.

The intentions of both sides are very clear, think about it carefully, there is nothing unacceptable, since Manchester United has the initiative, it is not shameful to stick to the advantage, and Leander is a good receiver of long passes, England's teams are very good at this trick, and the bus is suitable for them. This season, for the first time, Ferguson has played in a fully defensive formation, and the determination to win is too great, and whether he will play well or not is not in his mind at all.

As for Barcelona, their 4-3-3 formation is like Manchester United's 4-4-2, the most commonly used, and they can play with their eyes closed, after all, it is the second leg that determines life and death, and the importance of the Champions League does not need to be repeated, and both sides have taken out their housekeeping skills.

It's easy to say that other positions are not up, and it can be said that Park Ji-sung and Ryan Giggs are out of physical considerations, and Welbeck's point is very controversial, and the commentator also read the comments of the fans on the message board, and after consideration, he said his thoughts.

'I think Ferguson should have thought carefully when he set up his formation, Leander is already very good individually and doesn't need to play with Welbeck. Seriously, I was surprised to see the starting lineup of the Red Devils at first, think about it carefully, this is the best arrangement in line with the tactical intent, the 6-3-1 formation Mourinho is very easy to use, the Red Devils are ready to block an offensive line with dense defense today, Barcelona has more than two people in the past from that point in the past, there are too many people in the penalty area, even if one person makes a mistake, there is room for remedy, this is a more reassuring lineup for fans. ”

Saying that Ferguson is instigating Manchester City and Arsenal and the like, Manchester United fans can understand very well, their first task now is not to play beautiful football, but to win! A win would have met the winner between Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals, and if you lose a game, it's all empty talk, and if the Champions League stops there, you'll lose not one title, but three.

The UEFA Super Cup is the pinnacle battle between the Champions League winners and the Europa League winners.

Manchester United's priority for the Club World Cup is also to win the Champions League.

They can't stop here no matter what, the league title is in their hands and now they can fully commit to it, and the Reds have an advantage over Barcelona. Barcelona currently sit second in La Liga, behind Real Madrid, and have a much tougher schedule to face their arch-rivals at Camp Nou in late April.

The purpose of announcing the starting list in advance is to make the game more exciting, leaving time for each other to deal with it, generally half an hour before the game at the latest, and an hour under normal circumstances. Manchester United's side announced happily, since they decided to defend intensively and beat Barcelona to any lineup, they are not worthy, whether you are two strikers or three strikers, you have to suffer enough when you meet the back six.

The day before, Ferguson also did an ideological mobilization for his disciples, which he did alone, and he didn't say anything when he went to Leander, just to let him not lose face and win back Wayne's share.

Because the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals and the FA Cup semi-finals are very close to each other, Ferguson decided to let them both take the lead after a little thought.

Seeing Barcelona's starting lineup, Manchester United was very calm, and the Cosmos team that came to visit was not so happy in comparison.

6-3-1!

This lineup can't help but remind people of Mourinho's face!

At that time, some people couldn't help but complain: "Putting a bus in front of 70,000 people at home, Ferguson can really do it!" ”

After complaining, I turned my head and thought, what can't I do?

Alex Ferguson has been in charge of the Red Devils for 25 years, he has created many great things, he is the king in the hearts of the fans, what's wrong with the bus? When Leander was allowed to guard the goal before, the fans could cheekily praise him, saying, "Who is the sir?" He obviously has a deep meaning in sending people like this, and he needs you to guide him? ”

"Let's think about how to block Leander and how to break down Manchester United's dense defense."

Even Barcelona, which once caused a headache for the whole world, their routines are not much to do under this kind of dense defense, what can you do if Manchester United is playing hooligan at home?

Seeing the line-ups of both sides, the happiest are Chelsea and Real Madrid.

Chelsea, hehe, we put the bus and you mock it, saying that the food is too ugly, look in the mirror, hey! How good are you doing?

As for Real Madrid, they will be visiting Camp Nou a week after this game, and now they are on their knees and begging Manchester United to kick their rivals to the ground.

There is no absolute strength or weakness on the football field, not to mention that there is no gap between the current Red Devils and Barcelona, and even if there is, it can be overwhelmed by Barcelona with the blessing of formation and accumulated advantages. As soon as the starting line-up was announced, Mourinho made an analysis on his homepage, and he felt that it was more suitable for the Red Devils than 4-4-2, because they have the world's No. 1 attacker in the team, and in terms of individual combat ability, Leander definitely overtakes Messi.

Objectively speaking, Mourinho appreciates this kind of player, and it may not be good to say that the cooperation is not good. Leander's personality is a more out-of-the-box type, the principle of the lord is football first, you can play well in other aspects he does not restrain you, Mourinho is discipline first, the two may not have a good result when they get close. However, this did not detract from the praise in football, and before this game, Uncle Bird boldly predicted that although they opted for a more conservative formation, he believed that the Red Devils could play their own style, and he believed that Leander could break through the Barcelona defence, and more than once.

The Real Madrid coach first blew Manchester United, and then praised the lineup after blowing, he said that although it is practical to put the bus, it is not easy to be a good driver, and I hope to see the excellent driving skills of the lord.

When the formation came out, the whole Real Madrid team laughed.

England's teams like long balls the most, and Leander's teams are good at corners, free kicks, and throw-ins, which is a big killer for Manchester United, and Barcelona's air defense is relatively weak in various indices. The more reliable one is Puyol, although he is not high, he predicts well and bounces well; Pique's ability is also very good, there was originally an Abidal, he was in the same situation as Rooney, and they were all in the audience at this time, and there was a terrible Yaya Toure before, who was taken away by Manchester City, and Professor Bu and the like were unreliable.

Barcelona's air defense has not been excellent, and one of the reasons why it is not easy to see in normal times is that it has strong offensive ability, most of the time it is active in the midfield, and the defense is not very tested. This game is different, Manchester United players like to rush to the top of the header ferry, let alone a free kick corner, it is not easy to block Leander. If the air defense scum is today, let alone winning, it will collapse.

Who gave Manchester United a name to Manchester Cross United?

Barcelona didn't look easy, Manchester United were much more laid-back in comparison, and Leander also greeted Wayne Rooney in the stands and waved to the fans.

Five waves of people came to Old Trafford today. Red is the most, which is the color of Manchester United's home stadium; Then there are the Barcelona fans in blue and black striped shirts, which look like thousands of people, and the noise is not small; Blackburn Rovers and Manchester City both have policies, although there are only a few hundred or thousand, because the colors are obvious and you can see it at a glance; There are also groups of 1,000 people from China. There is no clear position just don't want to miss the fans of this game, let's not talk about it, there are too many people here today, most of them are in support of Manchester United, the blue moon next door loves the deepest, no matter who wins, kneel and beg for a miserable victory.

They don't want Manchester United to win, and they don't want to see Barcelona complacent.

After all, there was a feud before, and if Manchester United lost here, the Spanish media would be angry about Barcelona football.

What happened to Ying Rough?

What happened to the body collision long pass rushing crane?

Therefore, Manchester City fans are the most positional and the least positioned.

Whoever wins, as long as they can kick out the fire and get a few people.

The warm-up time passed quickly, the game was about to start, and the live broadcast platforms were roaring: "This is the first match day of the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, two hours ago, Bayern Munich overthrew Plzen and took the lead in advancing to the semi-finals, and the biggest dark horse of the season stopped here." And now, the second game is about to begin, the two sides are the home team Manchester United and the away team Barcelona, which is as much to look forward to as the Spanish national derby, it can also be said to be the pinnacle of football, Manchester United is the king of England in the Premier League, Barcelona is the only club that has created a six-crown dynasty, their strength is undoubted, today is still the formation and play, the state of the players is crucial. ”

"We can see that Manchester United are relatively easy for the whole team, they have the advantage in the first leg, 5:4 away is a very dangerous score for Barcelona, if they can't win two goals in the second leg, they have to enter the link of comparing away goals, Manchester United's five goals are difficult to surpass."

Andy Gray made two opening remarks, and Richard Keith nodded: "On top of that, Manchester United's formation also gives us confidence, which is arguably the most practical tactic, and dense defending is a problem for any club. ”

Despite the analysis, they were impassioned, and when they spoke, the referee team brought players from both sides into the pitch, and the fans shouted his name when every Manchester United player appeared, which was a great morale boost and would encourage the players.

Ferguson is also in the dugout, he looks at his players, the preparation is very thorough, now is the stage for young people, they have done well this season and I believe that today will live up to the expectations of all the fans.

The result of the coin toss is that Barcelona picks the side, Manchester United kicks off, there is no wind today, you can pick at will, anyway, after halftime, it will be changed. After exchanging flags and picking sides, the game was about to begin, and the broadcast media around the world waited with bated breath for this moment, the moment when the referee blew the whistle.

"Welcome to Sky Sports' live broadcast of the 2011-12 Champions League quarter-finals between Manchester United and Barcelona, starting with Manchester United, who flicked the ball to Leander, who disliked the first wave of attacks."

'You'll see that Manchester United didn't have as much attacking momentum today as usual, that's the formation and Ferguson ruled out a 4-3-3-3 against Barcelona 6-3-1, so it will be up to us who gets the upper hand in the next game.

It's a cliché, it's a cliché to say at the beginning of every game, and when they say that Leander has come to goal and is about to cut into the box, the Barcelona defender Shinichi panicked.

Foul! It's a foul!

The referee knew that this game would be a firefight, and in order to suppress the momentum, he decisively showed the yellow card to the player who fouled Barcelona, because the foul was still two or three steps away from the penalty area line, and he gave a direct free kick in front of the court, which was quite good.

Seeing the referee give the card, 70,000 fans shouted, and they were overjoyed to see the penalty kick.

There is a kind of player who is unlucky with free kicks, such as Andrea Pirlo in Italy, such as David Beckham, who came from Manchester United...... Of course, there are times when penalties are missed, but every season there are a number of free kicks that go straight to the goal, and Leander's success rate is no worse than that of his predecessors, and he can be called a master of free kicks when he comes from behind.

Seeing him smiling and walking to the place designated by the referee, the female fans in front of the TV couldn't help but cover their faces.

It's so handsome!

It's really 360 degrees without dead ends, he is too confident, he can give fans unlimited confidence at any time, this kind of player is not too good!

Although the referee has not yet signaled the start, many people have already raised expectations in their hearts.

I'm going to get in!

Break down!

Score in the opening minute!

Manchester United will lead at home, and the pressure on Barcelona will be greater than ever!

……

The Barcelona fans in the away stands all stood up, some people lay on the shoulders of the people around them and didn't dare to look, and some covered their mouths.

It was a crucial goal, and if Leander scored, Barcelona would have to chase three goals to advance.

The hearts of all the fans were about to stall, and the referee gave Leander a signal that he could start at any time, Leander did not take two steps back to run, he got up on the spot and drove the ball out beautifully, and the ball drew an elegant arc and flew over the wall of Barcelona's low man, and hung in the corner of the goal. At the same time, all the players are scrambling for points, Barcelona want to rush to clear the ball, and Manchester United are ready to shoot at any time.

Whether it is Barcelona or Manchester United fans, there are many people who dare not look at it, and the facts once again prove that Barcelona needs to strengthen the interception ability of high-altitude balls, Leander's angle is too tricky, the ball speed is not slow, the arc is very beautiful, Valdés is probably a hand short of distance, not reachable!

“al! al! ”

"Drift Ball! It's Leander's signature drift ball! As beautiful as ever, he can master such a difficult shot as easily as eating and drinking, and he can be so accurate, he is a monster! ”

"It's not an exaggeration to say that the first wave of attacks in the Premier League can be effective, and they came prepared today."

"In the first half, Leander scored and Manchester United opened the scoring, and their aggregate score became 6:4, completely dominating, Rooney, who was sitting in the fan stands watching the game, had already jumped, he seemed to be crazy!"

Can you not go crazy?

Manchester United have scored, this goal will strengthen their confidence, they must carry out the dense defense to the end, it is enough to have a good Andre up front, he wants to prove countless times that it is enough to have him.

Old Trafford sang loudly and the fans were already in high spirits, singing and dancing in the stands, kissing their loved ones excitedly, and shouting the names of their heroes.

"Go to his Barcelona! We don't lose to him in English football!! ”

"Manchester United are fantastic!"

"Leander is fantastic!"

At the same time, Red Devils fans around the world were cheering, with some pouring champagne early after the first goal was scored...... That's the rhythm! Take out the Cosmos! We are the only ones who will qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League! It's only us who land at the Allianz Arena!
