During the period of Manchester United's treble, the defense of the midfield relied most on Keane.

As an all-round midfielder, Keane is responsible for the team's transition and sweeping defence.

In that era, only Vieira and Effenberg could compete with him in the same type of midfield.

Keane's excellence at that time brought a lot of convenience to Ferguson, and he could do the work of two people by himself.

However, there are pros and cons to everything.

It was precisely because he relied too much on Keane back then, so one day, it should be said that it is now, Keane is old, and the defense of Manchester United's midfield has weakened a lot.

Scholes? Unfortunately, in Keane's time, Scholes had more than enough to get involved in the attack because his defence was too strong.

At that time, Scholes was known for his excellent offensive ability.

Manchester United fans even directly asked Scholes to play as a striker, so that the unpopular Black Wind Shuangsha will follow up and get out!

In other words, the current Scholes is actually an attacking midfielder.

He is in a transition period, his offensive ability has not weakened, but his defensive ability has not been exercised for the time being.

Therefore, now that Keane is old and Scholes has not successfully transformed, the defense of Manchester United's midfield is actually very problematic.

Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs are only wide players, and they dare not be complimented in terms of defensive level or contribution to defense.

As for Fletcher, he was still just a young man and there was really not much he could do in the face of the onslaught of the Aachen players.

As a result, when the Aachen midfielder intercepted Keane, there was a break between United's midfield and the two wings.

At the same time, Giggs, who is not good at passing, and Xiao Xiaoluo, who likes to do it alone, also have limited cooperation with center forward Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Manchester United's attack has been almost completely cut off!

Ronaldo finally received Scholes's ball and immediately planned to dribble forward.

Only, after receiving the ball, he glanced at Aachen's midfield.

In this short period of time, he was able to see the form of Aachen's midfield and think of an attacking route.

There is nothing wrong with this approach, but it is not easy to see the situation clearly in a very short time.

However, it was in this short period of time that Xiao Xiaoluo's rear was shrouded in a dark shadow.

"Be careful!" Keane sensed the danger and shouted desperately.

Xiao Xiaoluo heard the voice, and before he had time to think, he suddenly felt a wave of uneasiness-

There are footsteps, there are footsteps that are very close to you!

Xiao Xiao Luo immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and tried to control the ball at his feet.

However, the moment of stunned just now was enough for his opponent to take the lead!

Xiao Xiao Luo was squeezed to the ground, and when he looked up, the man wearing the number 10 jersey had the ball snatched from him at his feet.

Profound!

You don't need to look at the name, just by looking at the number, Xiao Xiaoluo already knows who the opponent is.

Damn it!

Xiao Xiao Luo hurriedly got up to chase after him, but found that Zhuo Cunzhi had already thrown off his five positions!

Can't catch up!

Xiao Xiao Luo knows this very well, and he knows even more that even if he catches up, with his defensive ability, it will be difficult to steal the ball from the opponent's feet.

However, he lost the ball, so should he just let him wait where he was?

How is this possible!

Wait a minute......

Xiao Xiao Luo suddenly realized that he had another path.

Speaking of which, wouldn't it be better if you just fell directly to the ground and took a gorgeous dive?

Why did you subconsciously jump up and chase back!

At this moment, Xiao Xiaoluo was a little embarrassed.

However, he did not slow down because of this idea, and was even trying to speed up!

On the other side, Keane also realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately went back to make up for it.

It's just that by his side, Bernd follows like a shadow.

You may not be able to say it, but Bernd's main defensive target in this game is Keane, who is known for his fierce defense!

Restricting Keane's forward and ball-sharing ability proved to be a big problem for United's front and back link.

Harassing Keane with small gestures, Bernd gave a mocking smile.

At this moment, Keane really wants to eradicate Bernd!

Speaking of which, it's not like he hasn't done it before.

He has a long-standing feud with Manchester City's Erling Haaland, and in a Manchester City derby, he deliberately injured someone and destroyed the opponent's cruciate ligament!

This is what he personally admitted in his autobiography published in '02!

What you need to know about the cruciate ligament is that Van Basten retired directly at the prime age of the player because of an injury in this place!

In the future, Deisler, Owen and others also suffered from it.

The same is true of Haaland, who quickly chose to retire after suffering such an injury.

However, even Keane knows equally well that it is okay to hurt people in football, but it is not possible to use lethal tactics endlessly.

Otherwise, even if he is biased towards Manchester United, he will not make him look good!

Therefore, just angry for a moment, he still chose to calm down.

For the time being, I chose to calm down!

However, Keane was restrained, which does not mean that Zhuo Cunzhi will be able to break down Manchester United's defence easily.

Gary Neville rushed over as soon as possible, and this time he was very cautious, just constantly compressing Zhuo Cunzhi's offensive space and attacking angles.

Ferdinand also rushed over at the first time, and took advantage of Zhuo Cunzhi's inattention, and directly broke Zhuo Cunzhi's ball.

Zhuo Cunzhi fell to the ground, and after a stumbling sound, he stood up again.

It can only be said that the weakness of Manchester United's two ribs is actually only relative.

At least compared to Manchester United's attacking holes, Manchester United's defense is actually quite solid.

Zhuo Cunzhi faced such a defense, and it was impossible to make a difference at every opportunity.

The current Zhuo Cunzhi thinks that he is no worse than an ordinary superstar!

But even then, he couldn't easily break down United's defence.

Zhuo Cunzhi can only pray that his teammates can withstand Manchester United's attack.

Despite all the problems in the Manchester United squad, there is no doubt that Manchester United have a lot of stars in their midfield.

With a so-called flash of inspiration, they were able to change the situation on the field.

This is also the most elusive and attractive point of competitive football.

It's a pity that with the continuous penetration of capital, football has slowly become a game for the rich.

The overly luxurious lineup has almost turned all flashes of inspiration into vanity.

In the future, football will become less and less eye-catching, and this is the problem.

Zhuo Cunzhi stood up and re-revealed his resolute gaze.

Manchester United have a lot of stars who can change the deadlock, yes, but can't he be ambitious?

With the flaws of the lineups of both sides, as long as there is one goal, the balance of victory will tilt!
