Chapter 150: Manchester United Hair Dryer
Manchester United's attack is fierce!
Alex Ferguson's side were the quintessential wide shock, constantly attacking Luton's defence on both sides.
Valencia and Nani's crosses on the left and right kept smashing into the Luton penalty area! And in the middle, Carrick's ability to control the overall situation also made Luton's counterattack almost impossible!
"Luton are completely suppressed, and if they continue like this, they may not be able to resist for long!"
That's what Lightkinson said ten minutes ago, but now ten minutes have passed and United still haven't scored!
It's not just ten minutes.... Twenty minutes passed, and the score on the field was still 0-0...
'Manchester United's attack looks quite ferocious, but surprisingly, Luton's defence is also solid!' Lightkinson himself was a bit surprised, "Saul Campbell and Jeffrey are a good centre-back pairing, they have cleared most of the dangers, and the addition of Drinkwater and Kante has also reduced the quality of United's crosses..."
'Schmeichel was also good, he's made a couple of key saves!' Redknapp Jr. added.
The United fans in the stands were cheering loudly, and it was still Manchester United's attack.
And Luton's fans are a little nervous, although Manchester United have not scored yet, but now Luton Town is indeed suppressed by Manchester United.
Ferguson was chewing gum, in fact, from the frequency of chewing gum, you can roughly tell the mood of the helmsman of the Red Empire at this time.
Now Ferguson's mouth was stirring up and down at a high frequency - which showed that he was also a little worried at this time.
At this time, it was already more than 30 minutes into the first half of the game, and Manchester United was attacking, but the score still did not change!
The two sides started a tug-of-war in the thirty-meter area!
Manchester United's players desperately want to squeeze inside, and Luton's players are naturally desperate to push Manchester United's attacking line a little farther away, away from their own goal!
In the 38th minute of the game, Rooney pulled out of the penalty area, received the ball and turned around and directly came with a long shot!
Schmeichel reacted quickly, he immediately moved a few steps, then flew to the side and saved the ball off the line!
"Wayne Rooney's long-range shot!! The test came to Schmeichel!! The commentators in the commentary table looked excited.
The fans behaved differently and the intense competition allowed the fans on the pitch to fully immerse themselves in the mood of the game.
Rooney pulled out seems to be a signal! After a long period of attacking from the wings, it seems that Manchester United is going to change some of their style of play!
In fact, in the face of dense defense, wide crosses or long-range shots are the methods that most teams like to use.
Now that the cross from the wing has been passed for a long time, Luton's defenders seem to be adapting, so now Manchester United has to strengthen their long-range shots!
Rooney's shot was a signal!
United's corner did not threaten much and the ball was cleared off the line by Saul Campbell's header.
However, the periphery is still under the control of Manchester United.
No sooner had Carrick taken the ball down than N'Golo Kante had already rushed up and stabbed it away.
This took Manchester United by surprise... Fortunately, Fletcher behind Carrick had the ball under control before N'Golo Kante.
Fletcher takes the ball wide and passes it forward to Nani!
Nani is seen as Ronaldo's successor at Manchester United, in fact, even in Portugal, so the Portuguese winger cut in directly after receiving the ball!
Nani cut the shot beautifully, and the ball arced towards the goal!
However, the ball was still far from the goal, and just when people thought the football was going to fall into the net, the volley turned around in the air and grazed the post and went out of the bottom line...
Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief, he walked to the sideline and loudly reminded the players in the midfield to watch out for Manchester United's long-range shots!
Forty minutes into the game, and for Luton, conceding a goal at this time is the worst thing to do....
The Reds then tried a couple more long-range shots, but they couldn't hit the back of the net.
Long-range shots weren't easy to control in the first place, so after a couple of times, United tried to penetrate the middle.
In general, Manchester United's arsenal still has quite a lot of weapons...
But it's too late.
A minute of stoppage time in the first half passed quickly.
When Berbatov tried to pass in the box and was fouled by Kante in a replay, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief, when facing a team like Manchester United, the pressure is always very high.
He turned around and went back to the dressing room after the referee blew the whistle, where he needed to hurry up and make some arrangements for the second half.
.....
"Elastic!! Watch out for the resilience of the defense!! 'Gobo was writing on the tactical board and the most dangerous moments of the first half were the threat that United created after the Luton formation was completely flattened.
"In the second half we continued to play on the counter-attack!"
That's not to say, it's been a week or so of the team's preparation for this game.
Even if it is a 0-0 game, it is not a big deal, and the Community Shield match is regarded as a high-quality test match, and the focus of this game is naturally the team's defensive ability.
If the counter-attack can score, then it will be better!
Gao Bo didn't say much, it took him five minutes to explain the matter, and the rest of the time the players needed to take a shower, change into a dry jersey, and maybe some players had to refuel and eat some bananas or something.
Bananas are the most common food in the dressing room, and most teams will prepare some bananas for the players to refuel at half-time or something.
.......
And at this time in Manchester United's dressing room, Ferguson's hair dryer was already on fire!
"Is this what we should do when we play against a first-division team?!!
Ferguson was spitting and none of the Manchester United players dared to intervene at this time.
"I don't want to see it again in the second half!! We need to score!! We need to score as soon as possible!! Ferguson slapped the table, "Damn!!" No matter what method you use!! You've got to get the ball into the damn goal!!! ”
"Cross!! Long Shot !! ”
"Oppression!! Constantly oppress them!!! ”
Ferguson roared.
In the entire dressing room, there was only Ferguson's voice, and Manchester United's players did not dare to come out.
"Danny !!"
Welbeck looked up.
"You played in the second half !!"
Welbeck was happy out of the corner of his eye, when he needed to strengthen the attack, the old man actually thought of him first, not another striker sitting on the bench - Michael Owen!
But Ferguson has clearly not forgotten Owen either.
"Michael! You're ready too! ”
Ferguson was prepared to make two changes up front, but of course he doesn't necessarily have to make strikers in a row, because he needs to put a little pressure on the strikers.
Sure enough, even Berbatov, who looked indifferent, had a serious expression.
You must know that Manchester United has a lot of good players sitting on the bench.
Needless to say, Michael Owen even Welbeck made Berbatov feel dangerous.
Now Manchester United is still playing the traditional 442 formation, and now the two strikers who start Rooney and Berbatov, Rooney's main position must be guaranteed, at least his order of play is higher than Berbatov, therefore, if there is more pressure on the two main forces in the forward competition, it must be Berbatov!
Ferguson's words made Berbatov, who didn't seem to wake up, have to fight hard in the second half!
