Chapter 453: Ancient Formation 5212

With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game begins!

As soon as the game began, Manchester United launched a tidal wave of attacks on the Real Madrid penalty area!

In the 47th minute, Ibrahimovic's close-range shot from inside the box slid out of the goal.

In the 49th minute, Lukakune cut through and fired a shot at goal.

In the 52nd minute, Liu Yun's long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area was confiscated by Navas.

For the first 10 minutes of the second half, United were firmly in control. It's just that they were unlucky and couldn't overtake the score.

However, the tide of attacking Manchester United still their fans saw hope of winning. Manchester United fans shouted in unison: "LIL! LIL! LIL! 3:2! 3:2! ”

Manchester United's big pressure in the opening game gave Mourinho a bad premonition in his heart.

With the speed of Ronaldo, Bale, and Benzema, as long as you seize the opportunity to play Manchester United's counterattack, Manchester United's defenders will definitely not be able to prevent them!

Mu Shuai walked to the sideline and was about to remind the disciples on the field not to press too far forward, when suddenly the situation on the field changed abruptly!

Marcus Rashford picked up the old lieutenant Liu Yun in front, and the pass was cut off by Ramos. Ramos kicked straight behind Manchester United!

Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale, and Benzema accelerated almost at the same time!

Cristiano Ronaldo used his speed to shake off Phil Jones, who was marking him closely, and got Ramos' long pass!

In the Manchester United half, there are only three people left: Nemanja Matic, Smalling, and Valencia! Real Madrid formed a local 3 on 3 in Manchester United's half!

Smalling stands in the way of Cristiano Ronaldo! This time, Ronaldo was unusual, did not be greedy, and distributed the ball to Benzema on the side!

Benzema got past Valencia, cut inside in the direction of the penalty area, and rushed forward!

Chris Smalling intercepts Benzema on the edge of the box. At the same time, Nemanja Matic came up from the flank.

At the critical moment, Benzema crossed the ball to Bale, who was inserted at high speed! Bell is now unmarked! He got the ball with ease! Face De Gea!

De Gea had no choice but to attack! I have to say that Manchester United's back line is really unreliable when facing the top European teams. In this game, they have already given Real Madrid two one-on-one goals!

Bale didn't panic in the face of De Gea, he slammed the ball horizontally, pushed forward, and completed the smash to change direction! Bale has crossed the last barrier in front of the Manchester United goal!

He walked leisurely to escort the ball all the way into the Manchester United goal!

The ball is in! 3:2! Real Madrid take the lead again!

After the goal, there was a Klose-style backflip celebration!

Huang Jianxiang said: "Real Madrid seized an opportunity to defend and counterattack in the 55th minute and rewrote the score again! The overall defence of Manchester United just now was pressed too forward. This gives the BBC a chance! The speed of any of the three members of the BBC is among the best in the world! The situation is very bad for Manchester United. ”

Liu Jianhong said approvingly: "Manchester United was indeed too big just now. Pogba and Blind both assisted on the edge of the box. If it's a half-time 3v3, the BBC is not afraid of any defender in this world! ”

Conceding another goal just 10 minutes into the second half took a big toll on the morale of the United players.

For the next 10 minutes, the situation on the field reversed. Real Madrid took the initiative. Their offense was impressive. Bale crosses in after a number of breakthroughs down the left. Cristiano Ronaldo in the middle also had two high-quality long-range shots.

The fierce confrontation on the field made Valencia run out of energy prematurely.

In the 65th minute, there was a cramp in Valencia! Pogba drives the ball off the touchline. The stretcher team enters to carry Valencia off the field.

Mu Shuai knows that he must make adjustments now!

Jose Mourinho decisively replaced Valencia with Victor Lindelof. Replace Marcus Rashford and bring on Marcos Rojo. At the same time, he asked Lindelof to inform the disciples on the field to change the formation!

Liu Yun retreated to the forward position to deliver shells to Ibrahimovic and Lukaku. At this point, Manchester United's formation has actually become 5212.

When Huang Jianxiang saw the current on-field formation of Manchester United, he was surprised: "5212 formation? Oh my God! In modern football, this is a formation that no one will use at all, right? 5212 to put it bluntly is to completely abandon the attack on both wings. Ten years ago, Mourinho tried 5212 at Inter and played two games. The biggest feature of this formation is one word - slow! So Mu Shuai later abandoned this formation. ”

Liu Jianhong thoughtfully: "Now that Manchester United is one goal behind in the single-game decisive cup final, it stands to reason that Mu Shuai should strengthen his attack." But Mu Shuai did the opposite. He was afraid that United would collapse before Real Madrid's powerful attacking pressure. Now that the game has been played for 65 minutes, United are almost certain to lose the game if they concede another goal. ”

Song Shixiong shook his head: "The 5212 formation is not useless in modern football. In the late 70s and early 80s, Nottingham Forest won the Champions League for two consecutive times with a 5212 formation. At that time, we did not have a TV broadcast in China, and we can't find any video materials now. I was on CCTV and I was listening to the Nottingham Forest game on a foreign radio. ”

Song Shixiong watched (listened?) The man who is almost 60 years old! It can be said that he is a living football database.

Manchester United has obviously stabilized the situation on the field after changing to the 5212 ancient formation.

5 defenders made the "Neche Party" Bale and Ronaldo suffer. Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba are also in shape. The two beasts made four interceptions in the space of eight minutes.

Manchester United did not concede another goal, but the game was already in the 73rd minute. There are only 17 minutes left for Manchester United to equalise!

In the 74th minute, there was another danger in front of Manchester United's goal!

Ronaldo passes the ball to Karim Benzema, who has his back to Manchester United. Benzema did not turn around after receiving the ball, but passed the ball directly back to Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo breaks through to the Manchester United penalty area with the ball and kicks up!

The ball flew straight into the top right corner of the Manchester United goal!

De Gea, perhaps because his team-mates blocked his view, made his save noticeably half a beat slower!

More than 40,000 United fans in the stadium raised their voices.

If it is 2 goals behind Real Madrid in the 74th minute, no matter how strong Rao is LIL, no matter how sharp he is, he may not be able to return to the sky! You know, today's opponent of Manchester United is not a Premier League team, it is the mighty Real Madrid!

Luck is on Manchester United's side at this time!

"Bang~" Ronaldo's shot hit the right post of the goal and bounced into the penalty area. Substitute Victor Lindelof kicked the ball out of the box!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who shot at the post, hugged his head in frustration.

Countless Manchester United fans in the stadium were busy thanking God: "Oh God! Thank you for keeping Manchester United in the open net! ”

Although 5212 has improved Manchester United's defense, the attack is not satisfactory. Liu Yun obviously did not adapt to the position of the front waist.

The game has reached the 85th minute of the game!

There are only a few minutes left for Manchester United!
