"In the midfield confrontation, Atletico have a vague upper hand...... Veron was completely controlled by Atletico's midfield defence, making it difficult for the team to organise the attack, and after the link in the middle was severed, United's midfield was left to fight on its own. To be honest I really don't know why Ferguson wanted to sign Veron, it's clear that Manchester United's midfield is intact, and to force a Veron to join is simply to force a part that doesn't work on top of a well-oiled machine! Football is not about accumulating stars to make them perform well, the characteristics and chemistry of the players are things to consider. Even if Paul Scholes is pushed up front, what can Veron do in Manchester United's midfield? It is Keane who is in charge of the organization, Beckham is the crosser, and it is Giggs who breaks through, if it is said that receiving and long-range shooting, this kind of thing Scholes can do, and Veron is used to a slower pace of the game, he is very slow to adapt in the Premier League environment, he is not a young player anymore, he is a superstar whose technical characteristics have been set, such a star can play well in the right system, but in the wrong system, it will become a waste. ”

The commentator commented on the situation on the field, now Atletico Madrid gradually dominates on the field, because their midfield is more efficient than Manchester United, although in football games is not the midfielder who wins the world, but both sides do not have fast strikers, but both need midfield support in the case of strikers, whether the midfield can dominate, will play a big role.

The Manchester United fans in the stands watched very breathlessly, when did they have the midfield at the bottom of the line? In the Premier League, there is no team's midfield that can compete with Manchester United's golden midfield, whether it is Arsenal or Liverpool, in Europe, there are few teams that can suppress them in the midfield, and the number is nothing more than Real Madrid, Bayern and other teams, but now when facing Atletico Madrid, they find their midfield at a disadvantage......

They don't believe in their hearts that Manchester United's midfield strength is lower than Atletico Madrid, even if Atletico Madrid is often able to gain the upper hand in the midfield competition when facing Real Madrid Bayern, but in their hearts, Atletico Madrid is a Champions League newcomer, how can it be better than a team of Manchester United's level?

It must be the problem of the Argentine named Veron, he shouldn't come, after he came, Manchester United's midfield not only did not rise, but declined!

They didn't think it was Ferguson's strategy mistake, after all, Ferguson brought them too many championships in the past, they just felt that Ferguson looked away, Veron's strength is not worthy of Manchester United at all!

Veron also played depressed on the field, under the running interception of Baraja at all costs, it was difficult for Veron to receive the pass from his teammates on the field, and naturally there was no way to organize, strengthen the run, always out of line with the running of other players of Manchester United, and retreat to take the ball and occupy Keane's position, and if he retreated, Baraja would dare to follow all the way up!

Dick did not use a double striker in this game, just to strengthen the midfield, Makelele intercepted, Belleron organized, Baraja's task is to disrupt the opponent's attack by running in the midfield, and now it seems that his role is obvious, at least under his pressing, Manchester United's midfield has not been able to function well.

"These guys are really good." Ferguson's eyes are on Belleron, Makelele and Baraja on the field, since last season, Atletico's midfield triangle has begun to show its prestige, Makellele's interception, Belleron's organization, Baraja's running and forward, although before last season, their fame was not particularly great, but when they began to put together, they formed a near-perfect midfield combination - attacking, defending, running, confrontation and skill......

When he saw Belleron controlling the situation of Atletico Madrid in the midfield, Ferguson suddenly felt a little regretful - he should have paid close attention to Atletico Madrid's game last year, so when Dick wanted to buy Stam, he could use Stamm to exchange for Belleron, with this characteristic of Belleron, it seems that he is more suitable for the midfield of Manchester United than Bellelon......

It's just that as a Premier League coach, he will only focus on the games of other opponents in the Premier League, and at most focus on the games of those opponents in the Champions Cup, how can he think of following the games of Atletico Madrid? And now the Premier League is slowly rising, they trust the team from Serie A more, Veron's performance in Serie A is top-notch, who knew it would be so difficult to adapt to Manchester United......

So Ferguson quickly put this regret behind him, Ferguson has not regretted it, but instead of regretting wasting time, it is better to do a good job now - he began to think about how to get back on the field, now Manchester United's midfield is divided by Atletico Madrid, and is fighting on its own, if this situation cannot be solved, it will be very unfavorable for Manchester United sooner or later.

It's easy to change – sending a striker on to replace Veron would allow United to go back to their most accustomed tactics, but if they did, it would be a compromise and a failure of Ferguson's reforms – something Ferguson could not tolerate.

Ferguson is not afraid of failure, he failed many times before his Manchester United dominated the Premier League, and at the worst moment he was on the verge of resignation, but he was resurrected by an FA Cup title - so neither defeat nor low point will stop Ferguson from constantly trying to break through his heart!

"Keep it up like this...... Against such a great midfielder, it's time to test them! Ferguson chewed gum and thought to himself.

Dick glanced at Ferguson thoughtfully, he thought Ferguson would make a change for this - because his on-the-spot command ability is also very good, which is where he surpasses Wenger, in the 99 Champions Cup final, because of the suspension of Scholes and Keane, Ferguson made a big change in the midfield, let Beckham play the front, Giggs played the right midfield, Blomqvist played the left midfield, and the midfield was beaten into a mess by Bayern, at this time, the Ferguson midfield adjusted in time, Bringing Sheringham on the field and Beckham and Ryan Giggs back to their place - such substitutions stabilized the situation on the pitch in time, although it did not have an immediate effect, but it allowed United to not suffer in the second half of the game, thus laying a solid foundation for the comeback in the last few minutes!

It is impossible for such an excellent manager not to see the problem of Manchester United's current midfield operation, but he has not made any moves, which only shows one thing, that is, Ferguson still hopes that this midfielder can run in better, so as to contribute to his tactical progress!

"In that case, then you're welcome."

Dick smiled hesitantly, and there was no action - what should be done in the previous stalemate, what should be done in the situation of dominance in the midfield, Dick has already arranged, and now what he is waiting for is the moment of the lead!

With Atletico gradually gaining the upper hand, the shouts of Atletico Madrid fans in the stands began to fall apart, and they were looking forward to seeing the team's lead and the team's victory!

Atletico's players have become completely immersed in the midfield lead, and they have now developed a habit of tearing apart the opposition defence with continuous passes, or smashing open the opposition with wide crosses!

When the other players began to fall into a frenzy, Belleron, as the core of the midfield, kept calm enough, he kept receiving the ball, and then kept passing the ball, he never confronted the opposing captain Keane, but like a lubricant, constantly made Atletico Madrid's midfield run more smoothly......

This style of play makes Manchester United's midfielders feel a little powerful, Keane is fierce enough, but Belleron never faces him head-on, follow the other side, Belleron is also under the strict protection of his teammates, it is unrealistic to want to force him closely, Beckham's cross is excellent, but he can rarely take the ball, Giggs's breakthrough ability is excellent, but as soon as he gets the ball, he will be caught by Capdevilla and Camoranesi, in the case of not opening the situation on the side, Veron and Paul Scholes were also unable to play their long-range shots, and Ruud van Nistelrooy was caught up in the opposition's dense defence, with few chances to catch the ball.

Keane was just about to cut off the ball at the feet of Belleron, who had already raised his foot and passed the ball to Camoranesi on the right side, Camoranesi passed to Héctor on the side, Héctor made a feint to break through to the bottom line, but passed the ball directly back to Camoranesi.

When Atletico Madrid's midfielders are constantly going back and forth, Jardel is constantly looking for opportunities through running in the penalty area - if Atletico's midfield does not have an advantage, he still needs to constantly retreat to make the ball, but now that Atletico Madrid's midfield has an advantage, then what he has to do is much simpler, wrestle with the opponent's central defender in the penalty area, run to find gaps, and seize advantageous positions......

When Camoranesi passed the ball back to Belleron's feet again, Jadel quickly moved sideways, then collided with Blanco, and when he used his own power to knock the opponent to a halt, he turned a halfway and stopped Blanco a little behind him, while cleverly keeping himself out of an offside position.

At this time, Belleron, who was looking up at Vicente on the left side, shook his right ankle without looking at the penalty area, and picked the ball directly into the Manchester United penalty area!

The ball drew an oblique arc in the air, and then fell directly to the right of the penalty area, and Jadel, who was stuck behind Blanco himself, took a step to the right, shook off Blanco's defense, and then took a step forward with his right foot, stopping Johansen who came to fill in the position!

After all these actions, Belleron's pass had landed in front of Jadel with precision, and Jadel took a step forward, unloaded the ball with his chest safely, and then picked up his right foot and shot hard in the box!

Faced with this close shot, Barthez couldn't make the ball even if he reacted quickly, he made a freeze motion, and then followed the direction of his turn, the ball had hit the net behind him!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！ Jadel! A pick-and-roll from the midfielder created an opportunity for him to beat two of United's centre-backs by himself! Before the start of the season, Barthez had said that after Blanco joined, someone would finally be able to kiss his bald head to bring good luck, then he would concede fewer goals, and now it seems that in front of Jadel, the good luck brought by Blanco's kiss could not stop Barthez from conceding goals! ”
