Times are evolving, football is improving.

Kevin Keegan has to admit that football in the 21st century is very different from the football of his youth, and the tactical refinement has become more complex on the one hand, and the ability level of the players has also improved dramatically.

The Zhen Shaolong in front of him is an example.

Zhen Shaolong's technical strength is simply unreasonable, one person can create a threat, and turn opportunities that are not chances into goals, with his decades of football experience, he can't read it at all.

He was even a little lucky: "Fortunately, Zhen Shaolong ...... Disobedient, fortunately he is free from the system, otherwise I really don't know how to use it! ”

Keegan had this kind of thought, he thought about it carefully, if Zhen Shaolong is also a player in the system and implements the coach's tactics very well, how should a player like this be arranged?

Playing center?

Playing in the heart of the midfield?

No!

No matter what position he puts in, he can't let him play to his heart's content, it's better to be outside the tactical system like in front of him, and give him enough space to play.

Think about it from this perspective......

"I'm such a good coach!" Keegan suddenly felt pride.

The Manchester United players don't think so much.

Vidic.

As United's main centre-back and considered to be the most consistent player in the next five years, Nemanja Vidic has always been confident in his own strength, believing he is one of the best centre-backs and one of the best in the world in defence.

Zhen Shaolong's getaway just now was really a bit humiliating.

He was determined to defend well.

"How can you be by him like that? Or even a breakthrough! Be sure to pay attention! Pay attention! Vidic kept reminding himself.

The next opportunity to perform is coming soon.

After the resumption of the game, Manchester United launched a series of attacks, causing a lot of threat, but several waves of attacks still failed to score.

Newcastle United counter-attack.

Newcastle United did not put much energy into the attack, the frontal advance of the central defenders did not come forward, midfielders Gutiérrez and Grammie, only one will rush up, and the other will stay in the middle line and retreat at any time to prevent the front court from being suddenly tackled, so that the opponent has the opportunity to counterattack quickly.

One by one, the other players stepped forward.

The ball was handed to N'Zogbia by Geremi, who played a long pass to the right and Milner echoed to run to get the ball, but was tangled up by the opposing full-back Evra, who simply dribbled the ball back to make room before handing it to Gremie.

Graemi kicks Owen.

Owen took the ball at the edge of the penalty area, Ferdinand immediately went over to block, he glanced at the goal and still did not break through himself, but handed it to Zhen Shaolong, who came laterally.

Zhen Shaolong is still surrounded by Carrick and Vidic.

Vidic kept following very closely, Caris was a little farther away, and when the football rolled over, Zhen Shaolong glanced behind him and immediately knocked the ball back.

Knock back?

Zhen Shaolong's movements made Vidic incomprehensible, the opponent was diagonally facing away from the goal, and there were no teammates behind him to answer.

"How can it be a heel?" Vidic didn't have time to think, he immediately stretched out his foot to block it, and the ball hit his foot, and the moment his foot made contact with the football, Vidic felt wrong.

Because......

Strength!

The ball hit his foot and rushed towards the goal, and it felt like he had come with a push pass and deliberately kicked the ball over.

"How could such a mistake occur!"

Vidic didn't have time to be annoyed, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the goal, Zhen Shaolong just ran over, and the football happened to 'pass' to his feet.

"Dangerous ——!"

Many people are aware of the threat.

Zhen Shaolong was about to open up the space when he broke out, but unfortunately Ferdinand decisively gave up Owen, rushed over and just blocked the front, and cleared the ball before that.

"Hoo ......"

United breathed a long sigh of relief on and off the pitch.

If it wasn't for Ferdinand's decisive defense just now, let Zhen Shaolong dribble into the penalty area, and the goal would be very dangerous.

"What's going on? I see that you seem to be cooperating with him......" Carrick saw the whole process clearly, and couldn't help but ask Vidic, of course he didn't question Vidic, he just thought the process was surprising.

Vidic shook his head a little annoyed, gritted his teeth and said depressedly, "I don't know, it seems that as soon as I exert force, the ball will pass, I wanted to pass the ball to you." ”

"Be careful!" Carrick added, "Next time that kind of ball, just kick it out!" Don't hesitate! ”

"Got it."

Vidic nodded back, not in a good tone.

In the dressing room of each team, there are 'levels', such as Newcastle United Club, Zhen Shaolong is the number one boss, and what he said is the most effective, Owen and Smith are second, and the other players are somewhat worse, and the main players and veteran players must have status than the edge, and what they say is more effective.

The same goes for the United dressing room.

Vidic is not the boss of the dressing room, but he is also a figure in the first echelon, he is the absolute main force in the team, and the one who can 'reprimand' him at the back is Leo Ferdinand, or captain Gary Neville.

Carrick?

Although Carrick is also the absolute main force, he is not higher than his status, so what qualifications do you have to reprimand him?

Other than that.

The two of them defended together, and Carrick didn't do anything, and he followed the side a few times, did he feel the same.

And now even remind him to pay attention?

Eligible?

Vidic was a little indignant, but he still decided not to deal with Carrick, there must be no infighting in the game, but the opponent's No. 13 Zhen Shaolong, you must pay more attention, he was actually thrown away in a similar way for the second time.

"Shame!"

"There is one, there are two, there can be three!"

"Damn!"

"Next time you'll wait for me! I, Nemanja Vidic, am not to be trifled with! ”

————

Nemanja Vidic didn't wait for the next time for a long time, but he was not relieved at all, because Manchester United's attack was so fierce that they could not even get the ball, let alone anything else.

Manchester United's attack was very fierce and the effect was very obvious, they got a lot of chances, but they were a little unlucky, and they couldn't find the back of the net on consecutive chances.

In the 26th minute of the game, Manchester United played a 'trick corner', Rooney pretended to walk away from the corner area, and at the same time touched the ball out of the corner area, Giggs suddenly started to take two steps forward, and then suddenly crossed with his left foot, C-Ronaldo scored with a header six meters in front of the goal.

However, the referee thought that there was a suspicion of fast serve, and the whistle vetoed the "surprise" goal, and the penalty caused dissatisfaction in the surrounding stands.

This is Old Trafford!

The referee actually vetoed such a beautiful goal, which must be intolerable to Manchester United fans, and there was a huge uproar from the stands, which also made the referee feel very pressure, but the penalty has been made, and it cannot be changed at all, so Manchester United can only re-take the penalty.

United converted a second corner and it was still the back of the net when Dimitar Berbatov's header was deflected wide and Wayne Rooney headed in from the far post to find the back of the net.

1 to 1!

Manchester United equalise!

This goal immediately boosted the morale of Manchester United, and also made Manchester United fans feel very honored: "See? ”

"Even if we get blown away, we can still score!"

Manchester United celebrated wildly.

They took a little longer, and the referee rushed to urge a restart before the players got back into position.

Newcastle United attack.

It was the first time in nearly eight minutes that Newcastle United had pushed forward head-on, and they were so pressed by Manchester United that the players in front of them couldn't get the ball at all and spent most of the time in the box.

Now regrouping the attack, Newcastle United also focused on stability, with a pass from the midfield lasting half a minute, before Geremi passed to Gutiérrez, who moved to N'Zogbia on the wing.

N'Zogbia couldn't control the ball and could only meet the ball and cross directly.

N'Zogbia's ball was so good that it fell in the middle of the box, and Owen was the first to grab the ball and go a little to the right.

Zhen Shaolong!

Zhen Shaolong sprinted forward, looking at the football rolling sideways, he had the urge to cry.

This pass is fantastic!

In the past dozen or so games, it has been difficult for him to receive such passes, the football is in front of him, he happens to run over to control the ball, and even in the penalty area, the only thing is that the opponent's defense is also very tight, Vidic is running fast next to him, constantly affecting his running, and it is difficult to have space when he rushes over to shoot in a few steps.

Zhen Shaolong tried his best to step forward, but he still didn't get rid of Vidic, and when he was close to football, he didn't have time to slow down at all.

"Damn!"

"You still have to use skills!"

Zhen Shaolong simply kicked the ball towards Vidic's leg, and then ignored it and continued to step forward.

He couldn't stop the car.

When I sprinted forward just now, the speed was too fast, and it was too late to slow down in the middle of the penalty area, and after forcing the ball to kick it, it began to slow down significantly, and immediately crossed the small penalty area, jumped past goalkeeper Van der Sar, and continued towards the goal.

Meantime.

Vidic was surprised by Zhen Shaolong's reaction, he thought that Zhen Shaolong was going to shoot, and he would probably stab him before he had time to adjust, but he didn't expect the opponent to kick the ball towards him, and his knee-jerk reaction was to kick his foot wide.

The penalty area is definitely going to be cleared!

He kicked his feet.

Although it was not the force of swinging his feet high, Vidic naturally used no small force, and he poked the ball directly with his toes.

The next moment, he regretted it.

The toes are full of uncertainty, and if you control it well, you will go straight forward, and if you don't control it well, you may change direction.

Vidic's foot changed direction, the football was stabbed hard, and instead of flying head-on towards the sideline, there was an angle to the goal, goalkeeper Van der Sar was rushed by Zhen Shaolong, and his vision was blocked and he had no time to react.

And then.

The soccer ball flew into the goal.

When Zhen Shaolong ran over the goal line and braked the car, he noticed that the football had successfully appeared in front of him, and then continued to roll forward with the help of inertia......

"It's ...... Entered? ”

Zhen Shaolong's mind was momentarily confused.

The other players who saw the process became rigid in their minds, and the Manchester United players couldn't help but look at Vidic, and Carrick's eyes almost wrote, "I told you to kick the ball off, and you drove straight into the goal?" ”

Vidic didn't move with his mouth open, then covered his cheeks with his hands, as if hoping that he was dreaming.

Not really......

It's a dream......

Oolong definitely wasn't scored by me, it should be Carrick, it's this damn guy who framed me......
