Chapter 0702: Manchester United's Stalemate
Manchester United's midfield, Paul Scholes has the biggest weight of defensive responsibility.
However, that doesn't mean he's defensively good.
It can only be said that compared with Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs, who basically can't defend, and Carrick, who has not yet practiced defense, Scholes's defense is already the best among the short men!
The level is not enough, but he needs to take on a lot of defensive tasks for the team, which leads to the ball blindness, and it can be seen that his defense is not very good.
In order to make up for the lack of defensive ability, Scholes can only pretend to be reckless.
In fact, he is usually a very low-key and unpretentious player, so low-key that he does not accept media interviews, and he does not even have an agent.
Scholes has always considered himself a professional athlete rather than a football star, in stark contrast to David Beckham.
It is also because of this attitude and outstanding strength that Scholes has been praised by his peers in the industry.
But at the same time, his style of play on the field and the news off the field are not attractive, and he was once called a "ball blind discriminator".
As for Beckham, he was pulled on the road of fashion by his wife and hot girls, and did not focus on football.
It is also because of this that after the "flying bootgate" happened, Beckham could only go away to Real Madrid.
Perhaps to fight against something, Beckham has maintained the most professional attitude since then, while not pulling down the pursuit of fashion, almost achieving the best of both worlds!
It's hard to say whether Ferguson regretted dealing with Beckham, but one thing is for sure -
He had no regrets about keeping Scholes!
The attacking ability of the past has been worn away with time, but Scholes has slowly transformed into a playmaking midfielder!
His long passes, his precise positioning, and more importantly, the landing, speed and spin of the ball are all exquisite.
This kind of "nanny" level long pass gives people the feeling that even if the Chinese striker comes, he can stop this ball well!
Of course, Scholes' best position, or perhaps biggest contribution to the team, is not his long balls.
No matter how good his long ball is, he can't be better than his former rival David Beckham.
What really makes Scholes a master, and who can be called a master, is his excellent vision.
His vision is a bit different from Alonso's, and he focuses more on the opponent's holes than on the movement of his own players.
If you look closely at his game, you can always see that his movement allows him to connect with several of his teammates.
Don't underestimate this, Scholes, who can do this, so that his teammates can always have one more point of the ball!
So, when Rio Ferdinand grabbed the ball, he glanced left and right and quickly chose to pass to Scholes.
Except for him, there is really no one who can pass it on.
Scholes received the ball and saw Ronaldo raise his hand, but did not pass it immediately.
He gave the ball to Carrick and motioned for Carrick to pass it back to him.
After two back-and-forths, the attention of the Liverpool players was drawn to this side.
What's more, Scholes' move gives the impression that the Red Devils want to scramble in midfield.
Just as the Reds players hesitated to look at it, Scholes suddenly made a long pass.
Ronaldo comfortably received the ball and when he looked up to the left to see that his teammates were ready!
Could it be that the reason why you didn't pass the ball just now was because the others weren't ready?
A thought flashed in Ronaldo's heart, and he didn't stop at his feet, and a bicycle under his feet shook Rieser directly and burst into Liverpool's bottom line.
Excellent players, even if they don't need a code, a glance can understand each other's intentions.
Larsson and Ronaldo looked at each other and then looked at the same position.
The moment Ronaldo crossed with his feet, Larsson suddenly cut in diagonally.
Carragher realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly squeezed Larsson's body hard.
Larsson forced the ball to stop, but after all, he was old, and he was squeezed by Carragher, and he was also knocked crooked.
Before his body could lose his balance, the demonic Larsson flicked the ball to the other side with a flick of his feet.
The ball only rolled a little distance, and it was the first to be grabbed by Ronaldo who rushed over!
12 yards in front of the door!
The only one who can stop him is Reina!
The Red Army goalkeeper has reacted and blocked the space for Ronaldo's shot.
Ronaldo, who has not yet been able to practice his quick kicking stunt, watched Reyna stand in a good position before he adjusted his shooting posture.
It didn't take long for him to discover that it was impossible to score with a normal shot, he had to go for the angle!
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was also not very accurate in his marksmanship, fired a low shot wide of the near corner, and the ball rolled out of the boundary.
Reyna breathed a sigh of relief.
Liverpool's commentators remain serious.
"If this goal is received by Zhuo, he will definitely be able to score a goal!"
"Liverpool's defence needs to be strengthened and Manchester United can't be allowed to take the lead!"
Off the pitch, Ferguson made no secret of his disappointment when he saw the goal not scored.
This goal can't be scored, and it's just as hard to score later!
The wave of attacks just now is enough to react, Ronaldo's shooting skills are still not perfect, and Larsson's mental shooting skills are quite good, but his physical fitness is inevitably aging.
As for Rooney? He hasn't scored as many goals this season as Cristiano Ronaldo......
What are United's weaknesses?
It's midfield!
Veterans Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are both old and strong, but their strength is destined to decline.
Now they can still be voted the best of the month in the Premier League, more because of "feelings".
They have been playing in the Premier League for more than a decade and with the memory of a generation.
Their opponents have changed wave after wave, but they have remained strong.
Such feelings really add a lot of points to them.
For Alex Ferguson, if it weren't for the old days, if it weren't for their incomparable familiarity with the tactics and style of the Red Devils, they might have to endure the pain of his mentor.
A veteran can't be a pillar, but it's not bad either.
Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly a superstar and has a strong organisational ability, but the only problem is that he is not strong defensively and is not active defensively.
These are small things, and the biggest headache for Ferguson is the one person left.
He's looking for a player who can play both offensively and defensively, at the level of a supergiant, like Steven Gerrard.
But the Red Devils can't have Gerrard, so he can only hope to develop new talents.
Carrick and Hargreaves had high hopes for him.
However, after pursuing Hargreaves for so many years, Bayern has always disagreed!
As for Carrick, he hasn't gotten the hang of it yet.
A midfielder like Manchester United is a food delivery in front of Liverpool......
Liverpool have not been without weaknesses before, and the poor ability of the strikers to grasp opportunities has always been a problem they have always had.
Liverpool, who have been chasing excellent strikers, are not rich in their own right.
After the arrival of the American boss, Liverpool seem to be a little wider.
Ferguson was wary of the future reinforcements of the Reds, but in the winter he suddenly found that Zhuo Cunzhi came to Liverpool for 5 million.
This transfer fee is not even his annual salary for a year......
With more Chinese, Liverpool's weakest line has become the strongest in a blink of an eye!
Liverpool, who have filled the last vacancy, can Manchester United really be able to win?
Just when Ferguson was worried about the future, the situation on the pitch changed like a storm! If you love it, how can you not pay attention to this or the hot online article, and chat about the online article together~
