Chapter 346 Planning an attack without the ball
In fact, in Madiburg's formation, Zhuo Yang is not far from Hamsik behind him.
Behind Zhuo Yang, Madiburg's shallow saucer-shaped four-man midfielder, in order to target Manchester United's two wingers Rooney and Xiao Xiaoluo's alternate impact, Zhirkov will naturally greet Lu Xiaopang, and his all-round attributes have nothing to worry about. Khedira, one of the central midfielders, was clearly leaning to the left today, assisting Zepek in keeping an eye on Ronaldo, leaving the responsibility of protecting the two centre-backs to Prouss. In this way, Hamsik naturally leans closer to the middle, behind Zhuo Yang for easy pick-up, and looks more like a forward midfielder.
Klopp's arrangement is very effective, once Manchester United's two wings can't fly, Ruud van Nistelrooy in front of him can't make any splash at all. As for Manchester United's three-man midfield, Keane is all focused on Zhuo Yang, and the other two Fletcher and Richardson can't give much support to the front, and they are not afraid.
Now that Ferguson has let Keane have an effect on Zhuo Yang's close defense, Uncle Scum decided to let Zhuo Yang and forward Hamsik swap positions. The advantages of this are, first, once Zhuo Yang loses the ball under the pressure of the midfield, the other teammates in the midfield can quickly counterattack; Second, Zhuo Yang's retreat increased his passing targets from Gomez to Gomez and Hamsik, thus maximizing his ability to organize attacks.
While this will keep him a little farther away from the United goal, he will have more range of movement and Keane will be carried away from his original area, leaving United with holes in the middle and more room for the rest of Madiburg. Zhuo Yang's threat to the goal has decreased, but his threat to the entire stadium has not decreased.
Zhuo Yang also agrees with this change, he is temporarily trapped in Keane, but he is not very worried in his heart, the reason is simple: I am 20 years old, and you are 34. Using non-stop large-scale running to walk the opponent out of his neuropathy, this kind of thing Zhuo Yang didn't do once or twice. He was waiting for Keane's fitness to decline or even dry up, and Uncle Scumbag's adjustment just gave him a larger area to 'walk the dog'.
Zhuoyang's retreat will also bring Keane Keane into midfield, causing the area to be overcrowded and greatly hampering Fletcher's vision of the ball. On the contrary, the Madiburg midfielder is more able to organize short passes because of the return of Zhuo Yang.
All tactics are routines, and on the whole, Madibao began to reverse his feet in a large area in a row, instead of blindly looking for Zhuo Yang, and gradually entered the front court through short passes. Among them, the finishing touch is that the positions of Zhuo Yang and Hamsik are reversed. When carrying out tactical all-round reverse passes, the midfielder needs the running and scrambling of the young master of the grenade to reduce the burden of Zhuo Yang when he rushes into the front court.
Zhuo Yang led Keane around the midfield and even seriously affected the attacking line of Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo, who were forced by the Madiburg to look more like two defensive wing-backs than wingers.
Back in midfield, Zhuo Yang has a wider vision, his passing and organisation are more varied, and the team's front, back, left and right are completely handed over to Khedira. So, in order to limit Khedira's response to the front, Fletcher could only choose to go up and was forced to become a defensive striker. You see, can Manchester United's current formation still be seen?
It's a pity that Fletcher, who plays in the front midfield, is not as good at playing the ball as Scholes after all, and Keane, who plays in the back, ...... in fact, he is not a waist at all, and his real identity today is a bodyguard. Bodyguard Keane did an almost perfect job, but he had a lot of movement and dispatch skills,...... With Zhuo Yang here, those don't exist!
The tactical effect that Uncle Scum and Zhuo Yang wanted began to be reflected, and then Madiburg had two shots on target that seriously threatened Van der Sar, both from the line of Zhuo Yang Hamsik: in the 34th minute, Zhuo Yang passed the ball over the top from the right side, and Hamsik's volley hook was touched high by Van der Sar's fingertips; In the 39th minute, Zhuo Yang crossed from the left, and Hamsik's nod in front was tipped out of the near corner by Van der Sar.
Keane began to sweat on the lobes of his lungs!
The tenacious Keane still follows Zhuo Yang without giving up, and it is difficult for Zhuo Yang to catch the ball even if he wants to. But Madiburg's technical mastery, as well as the tactical mastery of Zhuo Yang and his team-mates, allowed him to organise beautiful attacks without even touching the football.
In the 44th minute, Khedira suddenly rushed to the front with the ball and went straight to the throat of Manchester United's middle. At this time, Fletcher was far behind him, Richardson was still on the left wing, and only captain Keane was in this key position.
Zhuo Yang didn't hesitate to run to the right, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to shake off Keane. Keane didn't hesitate, raised his leg and followed. He had to cut off all possible routes to the ball, because in Keane's opinion, a Zoyang without the ball was much more dangerous than Khedira with the ball.
So, this scene looks as if Keane took the initiative to avoid Khedira and surrendered this inevitable path to the German teenager.
Although Khedira is a midfielder, he has quite good organisational and playmaking skills. Seeing this situation, of course, he will not hesitate, and he will take two steps in a row to penetrate the Manchester United backline. The adducted Heinze could only throw Hamsik and rush desperately to block him, and Khedira duly stuffed the ball into a grenade that fell in the box.
In desperation, his grandfather Mertesacker could only defend Hamsik and football, so that the musketeer Gomez had a chance. When the ball reached his feet, there was only one Van der Sar between him and the goal.
Gomez bent sideways, but before he could unleash a shocking blow, Ferdinand was brought down by Ferdinand from behind him. Ferdinand was even more helpless because it was his only option.
Yellow card plus penalty! To be honest, Danish referee Andreas Christensen was clearly merciful.
Keane gasped and frustrated, he knew in his heart that the biggest responsibility for this ball lay with him, and it was he who gave way to the vital passage in the middle, allowing Khedira to hit Manchester United's back line by surprise. But if he did it again, Keane would have to make the same choice. Obviously, if he goes to block Khedira, the football will definitely be knocked to Zhuo Yang by Khedira, and Zhuo Yang will also face the Manchester United defence unattended, and no one knows what he will do after taking the ball.
So for Keane, it was an unsolvable situation just now, and he could only choose the opponent he thought was the most threatening, but this opponent was naturally Zhuo Yang. Therefore, in this attack, Zhuo Yang didn't even touch the football, but he still planned a perfect killing move for Madibourg.
Zhuo Yang stood in front of the twelve-yard point, and Kean couldn't possibly still be clinging to him. Will Zhuo Yang make a mistake when he kicks a penalty? Hehe, non-existent!
