"Atletico made the first substitution of the game! Argentine striker Julio Cruz replaces winger Vicente...... Since joining Atletico Madrid from Feyenoord for $10 million last summer, Kros has been La Liga's most amazing super-substitute – 10 of his 12 league goals last year came after coming off the bench! At the same time, in the UEFA Cup final, he also came on as a substitute and scored a goal for Atletico to extend their lead! It is worth mentioning that Manchester United now has a world-famous super substitute in the team, Norwegian goalscorer Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is also a super substitute who often comes off the bench to score goals, and scored four goals in 12 minutes off the bench against Nottingham Forest. Now that these two super subs are on the field at the same time, who could be more amazing? Let's wait and see! ”

When Cruise and Vicente high-fived, and then ran onto the field, many commentators began to get excited, last year Cruz came off the bench in La Liga after a series of magical performances have already made Cruise also famous to a large extent, his super substitute name is also well-known on the European continent, Solskjaer is the old magic substitute, although the past two years are a bit magical, but such two super substitutes at the same time substitutes, and in this stalemate situation, Who can perform better and who can save the team?

If Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scores and Crews doesn't score, they can report that "it's still the old magic substitute who is good, and the Norwegian babyface killer shocks the whole game", if Cruise scores and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer doesn't score, then they can say "a new substitute ace is born, and the Argentine stone Buddha is amazing", and if both people don't score, then they can say "it's better to be famous than to meet, and the super substitute is not worthy of the name"......

Either way, it's a gimmick.

This is not a big concern for Cruise, who has been more composed since breaking his goal drought this season in the Madrid derby, not saying much when sitting on the bench, only occasionally chatting with Torres about observations, and always stepping silently on the pitch when Dick needs him to play.

After Cruise came on the field, Atletico Madrid's formation also changed from 451 to 442, at the beginning the formation of both sides was 451, but the actual style of play is completely different, and now the formation of both sides is 442, and the actual style of play is completely different......

Manchester United's midfield is a standard diamond-shaped midfielder four-four-two, this formation looks flat, but in fact has a high demand for the back, if it is not for Keane's super back, Manchester United will not be able to use this formation in England for so many years, this tactical play, what is necessary is to have a top midfielder with both offense and defense to be able to run well, so this once very popular, and even considered to be the standard tactics on the football field after the arrival of the new century slowly few teams used.

The so-called standard formation is determined according to the jersey number - in the past professional games, there was no personality number, but the player on the field of jersey numbers from one to eleven, the number one is the goalkeeper, the number ten is the center, the number 11 and seven are the wingers, the number two and three are the fullbacks, and the number four and five are the central defenders......

In such a formation, the midfield is arranged in a diamond shape - and Manchester United is the last big team to use this formation.

Atletico Madrid's 442 is more modern, in the eyes of Dick, who has been cultivated by later generations, the formation is not important, although the responsibility of blurring the position on the field has not been able to do it well, but his midfield arrangement looks weird, a defensive midfielder, a core of the back organization, two midfielders who run back and forth, it took Dick a year to get the players used to this tactic, and it has a lot to do with his careful selection of players.

Now the midfielders of both sides are beginning to strangle, and Atletico Madrid's midfield strength is basically used in the middle, just to press Keane, the core of Manchester United's organization, so that he can be more distracted on defense and can't play too much role in the attack!

This style of play, of course, suffers a little on the side.

The right side is okay, although Giggs is in good shape, but Camoranesi is difficult to defend after grabbing Erwin's assist, so that Atletico Madrid's right side does not suffer any losses, but on the left side, Capdevilla is a little unbearable in the face of Beckham and Neville's seamless cooperation, after all, no matter how good he is, he is also a person, in the face of Beckham's cross and Neville's edge, he is very difficult to resist.

Dick did not let the other players in the midfield help Capdevilla, but strengthened the fierce attack in the front, hoping to score in front of the opponent, so that he could better grasp the initiative!

Anyway, no matter how well the opponent plays on the side, it is difficult to directly threaten the gate, there are two strong central defenders in the penalty area, and they are not afraid of the opponent's goal for a while, and compared with Atletico Madrid, Manchester United's defense in the central defender position is a little weak, as long as it continues to play like this, it will be Atletico Madrid who will take advantage!

Catch a flaw of the opponent and chase hard, this is also an excellent way to attack!

The two sides began to attack back and forth, fighting for the quality of the attack, fighting for goals, and seeing who could grasp the opportunity faster - in this style of play, the chances of both sides will naturally become more.

In the 47th minute, Cruz pulled to the left and received the ball and crossed, and the follow-up Belleron shot hard and was saved by Barthez.

A minute later, United immediately set up an attack, and instead of crossing into the box, David Beckham crossed a low ball to the edge of the box, where Paul Scholes fired a long-range shot that Molina held in his arms.

In the 50th minute, Beckham took a tactical corner, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer received the ball and passed it low in front of goal, but Vanney failed to get the ball under the Stam defense, and the ball rolled directly off the bottom line.

In the 53rd minute, Camoranesi crossed from the right, Jadel burst into the box and fired diagonally, and the ball grazed the far post and flew off the line.

In the 55th minute, Bellerón went through the midfield, and Cruise's shot was blocked by Blanco halfway through.

In the 57th minute, Paul Scholes created a free-kick in front of goal, which David Beckham took and the ball went just over the crossbar.

The two sides carried out a high-quality attack on the field for more than ten minutes, and there was only one reason why they failed to finally form a goal, that is, the two sides still put a lot of effort into defense, and defended the opponent's key offensive players very well.

Both sides have a chance, and they spare no effort in defense, who can score first depends on which of the shooting players on both sides can play better when the opportunity comes, or the defense on that side makes a mistake first!

When the game reached the sixty-first minute, Manchester United was fiercely pressed by Atletico Madrid when passing in the midfield, and this time their entire midfield poured up, in addition to constantly forcing Manchester United's players with the ball, but also faintly cut off the offensive route of Atletico Madrid players!

Under such pressure, Manchester United can only choose to pass back - Keane raised his foot to pass the ball directly to goalkeeper Barthez, seeing Keane pass back, Brown wanted to form protection while returning to the defense, and Barthez had rushed out of the penalty area, ready to drive the ball directly out of the penalty area.

At this time, Cruise strode towards the ball, his speed was not very fast, but the two long legs were quite amazing, under his pressure, Barthez, the butter hand goalkeeper, seemed a little panicked, the distance between the two people and the ball was about the same, and the ball was rolling in the direction of Barthez, he had an absolute advantage to clear the ball in advance, even if it was kicked out of the sideline, it would not let the door have a direct threat.

Barthez is a goalkeeper who has always performed very well in the national team, but there are often low-level mistakes at the club, especially after the transfer to Manchester United, and this time is no exception.

With some time left to get to the ball, he chose to tackle the ball on the ground - this action itself is very dangerous, and defenders generally rarely do this kind of action, because the tackle is a kind of unsuccessful and benevolent practice, if you can't clear it, you fall to the ground again, and it is difficult to form a defense again.

However, Barthez made such a dangerous move in his head, and the worst thing was that he couldn't fully tackle the ball - he just tried to touch the ball with his toes, and the ball bounced back, smashed right into Cruise's calf bone, and then flew in the direction of the United goal......

Cruise was only slightly stunned, then rushed straight to the ball without slowing down, and as he started to sprint, the stands at Old Trafford resounded with the exclamations of Manchester United fans!

Such a low-level mistake put Manchester United in a very dangerous situation!

United's two centre-backs rushed towards Cruise like crazy, but they had a bit of a gap with Cruise before, and it was a bit dangerous to catch up with him......

Cruise caught up with the ball in the box, and then he didn't adjust, but stretched out his left foot along the path of the ball's rolling, and then lifted his foot to push the ball into the empty net!

Three to one! Atletico extended their lead in the 63rd minute! In a tug-of-war battle, Atletico scored first and extended their lead to two goals!

"Julio Cruise! Good luck striker! Five minutes after coming on as a substitute, he scored! It was a bit of luck with this goal, but if it wasn't for his relentless running up front, there wouldn't have been such a lucky goal that fell on his head! Opportunity only favors those who are prepared, and the same is true on the football field! Great super sub! Fantastic super subs! ”

Dick waved his fist off the field, and it seems amazing that Cruise can score goals off the bench, but behind this magical performance, there are countless efforts - he always thinks about what he should do on the field when he is on the bench, and after he plays, he is constantly looking for opportunities by running, and he can think and work hard, even if his talent is not very high, he can still have his own highlight moments through hard work!

"Well done, Julio!"

Dick shouted at the court with a fist swing, and after the celebration, Kruster ran to the sidelines, then reached out and high-fived Dick.

The palms of the two slammed together, and Dick had never been so confident in winning this game as he was now!

Victory is in sight! Group qualification is in sight!
