Chapter 291: The Ball Is For Me, I Want to Go Home (Part I)

Sometimes, the world is just ready for innovation. Both Newton and Leibniz were inspired by themselves and discovered calculus at about the same time. The same is true of football, with Heidward and Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford almost learning the same way at Old Trafford. In their view, football is about space and how to control it: making the pitch bigger when you have the ball is good for keeping the ball; Making the pitch smaller when not possessing the ball is good for defence.

Both coaches encouraged players to swap positions and relied on their teammates to help protect them. Of course, United are more aggressive, their offside tactics are very frequent, and the pressing in midfield is very strong. Belotti was clearly too far behind Van Persie up front, and his threat became less and less dangerous as his fitness began to decrease in the second half, with the referee raising the offside flag every three or four minutes to bring Portsmouth's attack to an abrupt halt.

The more time goes by, the more pressing tactics the Reds have, which is rarely seen in other Premier League teams, where he is physical, players who have to move almost constantly, who need great fitness and, of course, a good striker like Robin.

On the left side, Van Persie and Rooney formed a local two-on-two, Mane made a mistake with the ball and was tackled by Evra, who was on the wrong side, Evra's snatching action was very rough and pulled, so after being intercepted, Mane raised his hand to signal the referee for a foul. The referee's whistle on duty was not blown in his mouth, Evra stepped forward, this kick penetrated Portsmouth's wide defense, Magnetic Card and Kante used great speed to help defend over, but the broadcast footage clearly showed that although the two men were extremely close, they were unfortunately in the status of chasers, Van Persie was very experienced and did not dwell too much, he shook off the ill-intentioned Kante and slipped into the diagonal side. On the field, it is most taboo to throw the pot to his teammates, but apparently Kante can't keep up at this time, he chooses to rush to the goal in a different way, occupying the left and right posts first, it's not that he doesn't have confidence in Goretzka, but it is impossible to prevent Rooney alone.

With Lu Xiaochub, blessed and healthy, Rooney's small steel cannon type player has a small area breakthrough is his forte, and he almost ignores the pressure behind him and charges forward. Goretzka has replaced Freel's main position in recent games and has played well, with better technique, better passing, more accurate shots, and attacking from the back has gradually become his personal label. Premier League statistics show that his shooting accuracy is above 63%, surpassing the vast majority of strikers in the Premier League and ranking in the top 10. Of course, this is a good aspect, defensively he is not as fierce as Frere, nor as energetic as England, and the air defense is even worse, after all, Frerell is close to 2 meters tall and stuffed into the front line is an air bully. Magnetic card's defense is not as careful as Kante and Margery, and it is enough to rely on his extremely fast recovery speed and resolute, unobtrusive tackles.

But against Rooney, it's still a little bit worse.

He did catch up with Lu Xiaopang, and the commentator was also excited: "This German midfielder reminds me of Frank Lampard, whether it is forward or shooting, Goretzka is better than the Blues legend in terms of absolute speed. As soon as the words fell, the vicious tackle with foul implications of the magnetic card was dodged by Rooney as if he had a long eye in the back of his head, "Of course, this young man is still far from defensively, Portsmouth has a number of talented players, it is said that Goretzka only spent 1 million euros from the club to win Bochum in the Bundesliga, now it seems that this is a worthwhile recruitment, he has all the ingredients for success, of course, the young man remembers this fall, and may even lose a goal!" ”

Rooney didn't take much, he aimed at Van Persie in front, Robin burst along the wing to the middle, Rudy extraordinarily extended to defend, Van Persie burst in a few steps and shook a feint, deceived the defense and then shot with his right foot to sneak up on the far end.

The handsome action is reminiscent of the Western Cowboys' throwing gun, Navas defends the near corner but not the far corner, Robin is most likely to pass the ball to the middle in that area, and the second option is to count on the success of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in a small space. But dad is dad after all, Robin chose to shoot in an unconventional way, but Navas stretched his body to the extreme, flicked the ball lightly with his fingertips, and the ball began to fall, smashing near the goal line, and then before anyone could see if it was completely past the goal line, Kante cleared it far with a big foot. Then all eyes were on the referee on duty.

The black-clad judge looked at his watch, Hawkeye didn't have any hints or reactions, and he shook his head to signal the United touchline ball.

The studio showed the whole process of the ball just now, the ball was plucked and changed its trajectory, almost 2/3 into the goal line, and the commentator exclaimed: "Manchester United's first goal is less than 2 centimeters." ”

Hydward let out a long sigh of relief, just now he had almost forgotten to breathe on the sidelines, and his heart was beating several times faster than usual. Ferguson's face flushed, and his mouth kept chewing gum at a rate that sped up several times. The piece of gum was already out of flavor, he stood up, waved the flag, and on 73 minutes Scholes replaced Shinji Kagawa, who had played mediocre, and walked to the sideline with his hands crossed on his chest.

The assistant coach was about to pull Scholes to say something, but Ferguson interrupted impatiently, "That's it, Paul doesn't need you to teach." ”

Scholes smiled apologetically at Assistant Coach Whelan, straightened his clothes, and ran off the court.

He patted Kagawa, who was depressed, and didn't talk much nonsense, in his eyes, if a midfielder can't even pass the ball from 30 yards, he doesn't deserve to be paid so much salary to play the main force at Manchester United, he doesn't care how comfortable this person is with 15-20 yards, 27.435 meters is the basic element to measure a good midfielder.

You're not even close!

A master is a master, and he's still running on the pitch, with almost all eyes on the veteran who has been in the Premier League for most of his life in 1974.

He had a slight asthma, exhaled two breaths, and his face was slightly red as if to say, why are you all looking at me?

Hydward scratched at the bridge of his sore nose and then got off Gretzka and onto Freel, leaving room for Kanter to keep an eye on the old guy. There was a joke in the Class of 92 that Gary was training and ran under a tree to relieve himself, and his classmates bet poor Gary on his ass, and Scholes hit him in the ass from 40 yards out, winning a week's worth of pocket money, and the same story is said to have happened to Schmeichel, but Peter was not so easy to mess with Scholes and was a good beating.

Ferguson's chewing gum action was much more soothing, he remembered the Champions League final in 09, Anderson only completed 3 effective passes in the entire first half, and Scholes completed 25 times in 20 minutes in the second half. He dragged Paul back to Manchester United from retirement because he had an alternative even in dangerous situations.

In the 75th minute, Paul Scholes brought N'Golo Kante where he shouldn't have been, and when the ball came to his feet and kicked it wide with a light touch, the Frenchman had to run back to his own area to defence. Again, Paul's footplay is too much of a feint that looks like a real, real and a fake, and he leads Kanter off the rails again, like a headless fly flying and flying, being played around.

The lord smiled, another victim, that's how Scholes usually destroys a player.
