When sending Brown, Ferguson also sighed slightly in his heart, although Johansen is not very famous, he is a reliable central defender under him, but after last year's serious injury, his body has begun to become fragile, and now he has been replaced by Brown, although Brown has a good quality, but after all, he is still relatively young, and if something goes wrong in this level of competition, it will be very troublesome......

"You have to be in control in the midfield so that the pressure on the team's defense can be reduced...... Ferguson set his sights on Veron on the pitch, and in the away game, Veron led the team to suppress the opponent in the midfield, can he still do it in this game? Definitely, he will be able to do it, and he has been in pretty good form in the last few games......

Three minutes later, Veron, who was pinned on by Ferguson, did not play too well, but it was a flash of inspiration from Ryan Giggs on the side that opened the door to victory for Manchester United, he received a pass from Keane on the left side, first a quick stop to get rid of the return of Camoranesi, and then began to move towards the middle with the ball, under the involvement of Scholes, Makelele failed to come to defend at the first time, and Baraja, who came to fill in the position in a hurry, was accelerated by him again, Then under the attack of Thuram and Héctor who came to the back, Giggs still passed the ball beautifully, and the ball fell to the feet of Van Nistelrooy in the penalty area, and Van Nistelrooy, who had not played at the Calderón Stadium before, shot with his feet at the first time, and the ball flew into the corner of the goal, and Manchester United led 1-0!

The Old Trafford stadium immediately erupted in huge cheers! Their favourite Ryan Giggs brought them the goal with a beautiful individual breakaway! This made Manchester United fans even more convinced that the victory of this game would be theirs!

Dick pouted, the goal was a solo flash of Ryan Giggs, and it would have been a bit of a bit if it had disrupted the team's set-up......

Manchester United also has a magical nature, originally in a flat and stable confrontation with Atletico Madrid in the midfield, but now with the stimulation of this ball, their state will most likely play heartily!

Dick's keen sense of smell was on full display at this moment, and he sensed it in time, and then called in Belleron as the United players began to celebrate, telling him to tell his teammates to focus on defense during this time: "Defend first, don't let them continue to attack, and when I give instructions from the sidelines, then start a counter-attack, understand?" Now we need to be steady, it's still a long time to go, it's an emergency. ”

Belleron nodded, although the pre-game arrangement was to fight with Manchester United in midfield, but now there is indeed a sudden situation, that is, the sudden outburst of Ryan Giggs......

Belleron quickly conveyed Dick's instructions to the rest of the players, starting to focus more on defending and not leaving too much space for United to attack at the back.

Sure enough, immediately after the restart, Manchester United launched a press in the midfield, and then launched wave after wave of crazy attacks!

In the ninth minute, Ryan Giggs broke down the left and crossed, and Ruud van Nistelrooy was pressed by Stam to send the ball high.

In the twelfth minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Paul Scholes played the ball out after a one-two, and Giggs, who followed him, shot directly from distance, which was blocked by Makelle with his body.

In the fourteenth minute, David Beckham's cross from the right was nodded in by Ryan Giggs, and Ruud van Nistelrooy followed up with a header on the back of the net, but Stam interfered with him in time and Ruud van Nistelrooy's header went high.

In the midst of United's frantic attack, Atletico retreated in time to keep the most dangerous areas tightly guarded, which made United's attack constantly frustrated - although their attack became very ferocious at one point, but under Atletico's orderly defense, they were not able to get many chances.

"Defense, defense again! When will Spanish teams only defend? The commentators at the scene were unscrupulously mocking Atletico's performance of shrinking their defence, while the United fans were laughing and booing, despised Atletico's performance.

Ferguson frowned, the goal brought by Giggs just now was not his tactical arrangement, but because of his personal sudden outburst, of course, Ferguson is not Van Gaal's kind of manager who arranged Rivaldo to move on the left side As a result, Rivaldo ran to the middle and scored two goals and was furious, he didn't care much about this, but the next piece of suppression was completely based on the suppression brought by Manchester United's previous offensive instincts, when Manchester United had such a play before, even Real Madrid Bayern had to temporarily avoid the limelight, It is normal to suppress Atletico Madrid, but Atletico Madrid's defense is not chaotic at all, and it looks like it is steadily guarding its one-acre and three-point land, as if it was premeditated......

Ferguson couldn't help but glance at Dick – the young manager seemed familiar with Manchester United! You must know that the previous midfield confrontation was comparable between the two sides, but after conceding the goal, he decisively chose to defend first, so that Manchester United's crazy energy during this period passed instead of immediately launching a counterattack to quickly fight for an equalizer......

Thinking of this, Ferguson made a gesture on the field, let them return to the midfield confrontation just now, although this kind of suppressive attack looks beautiful, but there is a great danger in the backfield, in Calderon, Atletico Madrid is after Manchester United's suppressive attack, through a counterattack and set-pieces to achieve the final victory, if they can't attack for a long time, the opponent a counterattack equalizer, it will be a bit bad......

Under the command of Ferguson, Manchester United's players began to gradually slow down their offensive rhythm, Atletico Madrid gradually came out, the two sides formed a state of stalemate in the midfield again, Dick couldn't help but glance at the home team's coach's seat at this time, Ferguson is worthy of a very keen sense of smell of the manager, although he did not expect that Dick's ultimate goal is to take advantage of the weakness of the five people in the Manchester United midfield to attack with the weakness of the coordination and characteristics of the tacit understanding, and the final target of the attack is Manchester United's defense, However, he realized that such an attack actually did not work under Atletico Madrid's defense, and immediately asked Manchester United's players to stabilize and stifle Atletico's hope of scoring through counterattacks!

It's like two masters making a move, always responding in advance when the other party is about to make a move, others seem boring, but between the two of them, they are frightening step by step, like walking on thin ice!

Under Ferguson's command, United began to retreat voluntarily...... It was a game that was really incomprehensible, Atletico Madrid were not at a disadvantage before, and they began to shrink their defence just because of an accidental goal, and Manchester United took the initiative to retreat and cede midfield when they had completely suppressed Atletico, which seemed to be actively looking for a defeat...... What exactly were Ferguson and Dick thinking? A commentator asked in confusion.

The two sides began to fight and press again in the midfield, trying to create opportunities after suppressing the opponent from the midfield, Atletico Madrid's attack gradually became ferocious, first Baraja inserted and then the long shot at the edge of the penalty area was lifted off the crossbar by Barthez, Belleron took a corner kick, the ball was pushed out of the box by Blanco, Camoranesi outside the box took the ball and shot again, and Erwin, who was in the position, blocked the ball again with his body.

Atletico's two attacks also made Manchester United fans break out in a cold sweat, although they have not attacked many times so far, but the momentum of each attack is very ferocious!

Ferguson's brows furrowed tightly, because in the midfield confrontation, Manchester United has gradually fallen behind, once again like the last game in the first 20 minutes of Calderon, Manchester United's midfield is constantly being cut by Atletico Madrid, splitting, Veron and other players are cut off, and the other players begin to involuntarily fight their own!

This situation makes Atletico Madrid's advantage in the confrontation begin to become more obvious, Manchester United often falls into the opponent's multi-person package when attacking, while Atletico Madrid's attack is always able to pass through the midfield smoothly under the organization of Belleron, directly to the hinterland of Manchester United!

"What's going on?" A question flashed through Ferguson's mind.

Atletico's midfield attack is a little faster than before - this is the rhythm that makes Manchester United's midfield very awkward - they were slower when they were at the core of Veron, and the pace was faster in the previous four mid-field games, and now the pace of the game is exactly between these two rhythms, Veron is a little unable to keep up, and the other four midfielders have to slow down to get used to!

All of a sudden, United's midfield began to get into disarray!

"That's it, attack!"

Dick waved his arms on the sidelines, and under his command, the Atletico players began to launch a tidal onslaught!

Belleron organized the team's attack in the midfield, and in such a confrontation, his light began to gradually flash, which was in stark contrast to Veron's somewhat scrambled performance in the midfield!

Thirty-sixth minute.

Belleron broke through Veron's defence with the ball in midfield, and after attracting Keane's attention, he immediately lifted his foot to deliver a penetrating diagonal cross to Vicente, who crossed into the box along the left flank!

Vicente broke through with the ball in the penalty area, Brown retreated and tried to block Vicente's forward path, but he ignored that Barthez was also attacking, and the next moment, the two of them collided hard!

Brown fell, and Barthez fell!

When the United fans in the stands let out an exclamation, Vicente naturally did not let go of this great opportunity, he quickly took a step, and then easily pushed the ball into the empty net to push the ball into the door of Manchester United!

"The ball is in! Vicente burst into the box and scored! What was Brown thinking? When he returned to the defense, he actually collided with the attacking goalkeeper Barthez, causing Vicente to easily hit the ball into the empty goal! Brown made a big mistake! ”

When Vicente ran around the stadium to celebrate, Ferguson's face became ugly, not only because of Brown's low-level mistake, but also because in the previous midfield confrontation, Manchester United was completely at a disadvantage, and there was almost no power to fight back!

From his vision, it can naturally be seen that Manchester United's passivity is not a problem of play, but in terms of rhythm and control, it is completely behind Atletico Madrid!

Will Atletico Madrid, who can play like this, be so dominant in midfield by Manchester United at their home turf? He can see that Atletico Madrid's game at home is no worse than this one, which can only prove one thing, Manchester United's advantage on the road is because Atletico Madrid did not compete with Manchester United for midfield! Why not fight for midfield? It is to create such an illusion for Ferguson, in the midfield confrontation, Manchester United can compete with Atletico Madrid!

"I've been completely deceived...... Ferguson's mind welled up.
