Chapter 740: You hit the front waist
On the one hand, Vardy felt that his running habits had been understood, and when he ran in every direction, there were immediately Manchester United defenders on top, so that he could not comfortably receive the ball.
On the other hand, when they finally get the ball, the United defenders will use very annoying small actions to stop themselves, and even do not hesitate to foul in the non-threatening zone, which makes it impossible for them to spread their fire at all.
After all, these small actions to respond to themselves are all good friends who used to be in Manchester United, and after the foul, they will also stretch out their hands to pull themselves out as before, with a smile on their faces, how does this make you angry?
Well, they've mastered their weaknesses thoroughly!
Seeing that Vardy seemed to be entangled in a spider's web, unable to get up and struggling to get the ball, the fans were surprised, when had they ever seen such a Vardy?
A combination of factors has led to Vardy's current predicament, is it possible that the number one person in world football is finally facing a problem?
So, how will Vardy crack it?
In fact, fans always thought that Jamie Vardy was going to score, but forgot that it was Inter who were now leading and away by two goals.
If the game ends with this score, then Inter has absolutely no regrets, which is equivalent to stepping into the door of the Champions League quarterfinals with one foot, and in the history of the Champions League knockout round, there are almost no home goals behind and then away from home.
So it is Manchester United that should be anxious now, not Vardy and Inter, even if Manchester United now tie Vardy's hands down, but the attack can't score, everything is useless.
Manchester United are in an awkward situation and they need to attack, not defend.
But Vardy alone on the field can contain a large part of Manchester United's energy, even if Vardy is defended, but Manchester United does not have more energy to put into attack.
And don't think Vardy can really be sealed.
He is not a muscular player with a simple mind and developed limbs and a very low ball quotient, and he will always try his best to solve the difficulties that arise on the field, rather than sit back and wait.
Once Vardy thinks of a solution, then Manchester United will face an even heavier blow from Inter, and it is likely that Manchester United will be killed here directly, and they will never be able to raise their heads again.
This is no joke, at least no team has really defended Vardy yet, so will this time be an exception?
Maybe many superstars can't play well in every game, sleepwalking is normal and understandable.
But if you're to assume that Vardy is the same, then you could be very wrong.
Jamie Vardy is always a man who doesn't follow the usual path, and often when you have already defined Vardy, the next second, that definition can be completely overturned, and you never think about what he will do next.
Vardy is indeed now shackled, passive, but also active.
If you turn Manchester United's defense upside down by yourself, it will also create opportunities for your teammates, and then Manchester United will not have the energy to attack, and in the end, will Inter win?
It doesn't matter if you score again or not!
With this mentality, Vardy is a bit of a fan of the excitement.
Ferguson stood on the sidelines, his brow furrowed, he knew the predicament United were in right now, don't look at them as if they were defending Vardy, but have you forgotten the score they were behind?
The dilemma is a perfect description of Manchester United right now.
When a team has a superstar, the opponent is often a headache, and when a team has Jamie Vardy, the opponent may not be just a headache.
He's the kind of terrifying being who can really solve the game alone, and if Vardy is really determined to do something, Ferguson can't be sure he will be able to stop it.
In the fierce entanglement between the two sides, the first half of the game was over, with a score of 2:0, back to the locker room, the relaxed and comfortable expressions on the faces of the Inter players were clearly visible.
Most of the Manchester United fans at home fell silent, and perhaps some people couldn't help the reality and still dreamed of Manchester United dominating the world, but the vast majority of fans could see from the first half of the game that Manchester United was no longer the Manchester United that could defend the Champions League.
In the dressing room, Vardy was a little content with the status quo, and wasn't it a good result to win Manchester United by two goals away?
But what he never expected was that Mourinho was not satisfied.
"Jamie, in the second half you play in the forward position, don't hit the opponent's defense like a fly without a head, since the opponent is strict against you, then you use the pass to create a threat, we must do our best!" When explaining the tactics of the second half, Mourinho spoke directly to Vardy.
Vardy was stunned, he really didn't expect that the usual pragmatist didn't seem to be planning to take a safe win at Old Trafford today, do you still want to knock Manchester United down?
However, now that Mourinho has given the order, Vardy will naturally not disobey, he is a professional player and knows what is important.
Therefore, I can only mourn in my heart for Manchester United.
When playing in the second half, everyone was keenly aware of the change in Inter's formation, from the previous 442 to the current 4231, Vardy from a striker, retreating to a forward midfielder.
Ferguson chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh that Mourinho still came up with a way to liberate Vardy.
Don't look at Jamie Vardy's farther back in the back of the pitch, but he was actually given more space to maneuver, leaving United unable to defend him tightly, and in doing so, Vardy's threat was doubled.
You have to be clear that Jamie Vardy has never been an opportunist who only scores goals in the box, but a superstar who can create chances.
Dropping back to catch the ball, breaking head-on still had a high success rate, and then bombarding the United goal with a heavy artillery blast, which was equivalent to being directly within the range of Vardy's artillery fire.
Moreover, Vardy has also developed a midfield ability this season, that is, lethal threat passing, and the coquettish degree of a straight kick is simply embarrassing many regular midfielders.
Next, Manchester United is in trouble!
Sure enough, Ferguson's worries were right, and Vardy, who retreated from his position, suddenly seemed to be a dragon returning to the sea, completely turning Manchester United's half upside down.
In the 49th minute of the second half, Vardy combined with Sneijder in the middle of the field, and then dribbled to the Manchester United penalty area, a sharp scalpel directly penetrated Manchester United's defense, through the rib area between Evra and Ferdinand, but Ibrahimovic started a little slower, did not adjust the angle of the shot, and finally the shot was blocked by Van der Sar.
Two minutes later, it was Vardy again, and it was a straight rib plug, but this time it was Sneijder who was looking for him, but unfortunately, Sneijder stopped the ball a little too much and was tackled by Vidic in the penalty area to end the attack.
Those two through balls have already shown Vardy's ability to threaten the ball and have also made United jealous, and if Vardy is allowed to continue with such reckless passing, it will only be a matter of time before United lose the goal.
And just when Manchester United had to increase the number of defenders to intercept Vardy head-on, Vardy suddenly dodged the space and fired a heavy gun, which made everyone feel excited, why did they forget that Vardy also shot from a distance!
There's no way to prevent this!
If you don't prevent passing, you can't prevent shooting, you can't prevent passing, and with Vardy in the front midfield position like a-stirring stick, making Manchester United's defense a mess, if it goes on like this, something will happen sooner or later!
It's just bullying, Vardy's presence on the pitch makes the opponent helpless, including Manchester United, there is nothing to do.
And in this panic, Manchester United's goal finally fell again!
In the 64th minute of the second half, Jamie Vardy sent the ball forward in the middle and hit the ball at the feet of Ibrahimovic, who turned to the left to try to break through and attracted the attention of the defender, however, the ball was not taken away by Ibrahimovic, but after he turned, he suddenly slammed backwards and knocked Jamie Vardy, who was inserted at high speed.
At this time, Vardy had already used his excellent burst to start, shook off the Manchester United players who were marking him, and met the ball at the edge of the penalty area, and the ball hit the Manchester United goal directly like a cannonball, blowing up a corpse!
At that moment, the eyes of the whole world seemed to be focused on the bursting ball, silent!
