541. There's something about this tactic
Old trafford.
In the 33rd round of the Premier League, Manchester United hosted Crystal Palace.
The game has been going on for 30 minutes.
The score is still 0:0.
Neither side scored.
Ryan Giggs stood on the sidelines, watching the game.
Ferguson was not in the dugout today.
Due to the exhaustion of work, Ferguson has been in poor health lately, and his personal doctor recommended that he recuperate for a week. Therefore, in this game, Wang Laoji acted as the head coach of the team, and Ferguson "rested".
"How's it going over there?" Giggs walked back to the dugout and asked Mike Ferran.
Ryan Giggs didn't say 'which side' it was clear, but Phelan knew immediately that he was asking about a Chelsea game.
Today, Manchester United's league game with Chelsea is played at the same time.
"In the eighth minute of the game, Sunderland scored first, but it was a pity...... They didn't last long. Chelsea's Willian recently scored a goal with an assist from Diego Costa. Now they are both drawn, just like we did with Crystal Palace. Phelan gave a brief overview of the Chelsea game.
Giggs nodded. 'It would be great if they could get a draw.' He laughed.
"It's not a good habit to put your hopes in someone else. No matter what the result is, we still have to find a way to win and be ourselves to have a chance to turn them around. Phelan said with some seriousness. He knew Giggs was just joking, but he wanted to be reminded anyway.
"Well, I understand. However, when it comes to scoring goals, sometimes it takes a bit of luck. Giggs was a little helpless.
He looked at the field.
At home, Manchester United's advantage over Crystal Palace is still relatively obvious. In order to win the game, Ryan Giggs fielded Chou Go, Ibrahimovic and Anthony Martial, three players he believes have been in the best form of recent times. However, the delay in the goal still worries him.
You must know that not long ago, Arsenal was planted on the team of Crystal Palace.
In the unlikely event that United are unable to break the deadlock, have some mistakes in defence and are seized by their opponents to score a goal or two, this game will be in trouble.
Ryan Giggs didn't want his first game as a substitute only to be beaten by his opponent.
That would be a shame.
It's not good to deal with the old man.
Just when Ryan Giggs was a little worried, there were some changes on the pitch.
Chu Ge was kicked in the opponent's penalty area with the ball.
The referee blew for a foul and awarded United a free-kick.
The free-kick was about 25 meters from the goal, a little off, but basically it was still in a good position.
'It's an opportunity for Manchester United.'
'If you don't get a goal in the open game, a set-piece could be a good opportunity. We see that Chu has already stood in front of the ball. Now when United get a free-kick from a good position, it's him who takes the penalty. And this set-piece was also obtained from a foul on him by a Crystal Palace player. ”
Taking advantage of the time for the Crystal Palace players to line up the wall, Martin Taylor made some brief commentary.
Taylor looked at Chu Ge who placed the football and praised: "The players of Crystal Palace have obviously increased their marking of Chu Ge, but sometimes, they still can't completely limit the breakthrough of this player." He's very skilled with his dribbling skills and he has a fast cadence at his feet, just like a Brazilian player. ”
……
Chu Ge glanced up at the goal.
Soon, after a short run-up, Chu Ge kicked the football towards the goal.
The soccer ball jumped over a high wall and headed straight for the goal.
Full Moon Scimitar!
Whirring.
The ball made a very pronounced arc, slightly above the crossbar, and flew off the baseline.
"Whew!"
The fans in the stadium exclaimed in unison.
Immediately, Old Trafford burst into applause.
"It's a pity. The quality of the free-kick was very, very high, with good arcs, angles, power, and it also went over the wall, just a few centimeters above the goal, and there was no goal. If the goal was a few centimeters lower, it would have been a goal. The Crystal Palace goalkeeper was basically powerless to do anything about this shot. ”
"It looks like Chu's free-kick is in pursuit of an absolute dead end. And the pursuit of angles also increases the difficulty of the main penalty. ”
Zhan Jun had some regrets.
At that moment just now, from his point of view, Chu Ge's free kick seemed to be scored.
……
Sidelines.
Giggs tactically holds his head.
He was sorry.
"Why didn't you go in? What a pity. If it had gone in, it would have been a lot easier. He complained a few words to relieve the pressure in his heart.
With no goal for a long time, Giggs was still a little nervous.
Especially in the absence of Ferguson, standing alone on the sidelines and not seeing the team scoring, Giggs was a little unsure.
'Chelsea are scoring again.'
When Ryan Giggs returned to the sideline dugout, Phelan reported back to him.
'Eden Hazard's goal.' Phelan added.
"I know Sunderland can't be trusted." Giggs shook his head helplessly.
'The quality of the squad is there, it's too difficult for them to hold Chelsea out.' Phelan said with a calm face. The progress of that game was all in his expectation.
Sunderland's opening goal was a bit of a surprise but it proved to be a flash in the pan.
'Chelsea are still very stable.' Ryan Giggs stared at the pitch and sighed, "And, it was Eden Hazard who scored? ”
After receiving Phellan's affirmative answer, Giggs shook his head, "That player is really good. If memory serves, many of Chelsea's games have been based on his goals. ”
……
Chu Ge was brought down again by the Crystal Palace players.
He pulled the ball with his right foot, then duffled it and a Figo-style pull passed to shake off the defender's defence. And after he completed the breakthrough, the defender was slow to kick out, just kicking Chu Ge down.
The referee blows for a foul.
On the left-hand side of the arc of the penalty area, United were awarded another set-piece.
"The Crystal Palace defenders defended really well against Chu today. Whenever he gets the ball, there are always several defenders around him, and even if he completes a breakthrough, many times the players of Crystal Palace would rather foul Chu Ge and stop Chu Ge outside the penalty area. ”
"I believe that after seeing Crystal Palace's defensive strategy against Chu Ge today, many teams will follow their example. Under such a defense, Chu Ge's performance today was indeed quite restricted. ”
Chu Ge set up the football.
Once again, he stood in front of the ball and looked at the door.
"The ball just now, according to the Magnus effect formula, should be that the angular velocity of the football rotation is not enough, so the arc of rotation does not come back." Chu Ge pondered.
