Chapter 73: Battle Blue Army 3

Webb blew the whistle for the start of the game, Manchester United took the lead and Yu Liang passed the ball to the back. Chelsea started the game with a very positive start and Didier Drogba and Shepchenko started pressing up front......

"The ball was at Yu Liang's feet again, and Makelele rushed to Yu Liang......"

The narrator's voice rose sharply.

Makelle suddenly appeared in front of him, and Yu Liang was also taken aback.

I don't know much about Makelele, but I basically know the characteristics of Makellele's play. Focused on defense, he rarely rushes to the front court to press in games. Even when the team is in absolute advantage, he will stay at the back and be the last barrier in front of goal. Makelele in defense has the momentum of a man who is unstoppable, and it is precisely because of his presence that Mourinho dares to use the formation of four forwards or even five forwards frantically when the score is behind.

Startled, Yu Liang immediately pulled the ball back with his right foot, and at the same time turned sideways to try to protect the ball with his body. Seeing Yu Liang turn around to protect the ball at his feet, Makelele directly slid and stuck to Yu Liang's back, pulling the jersey on Yu Liang's waist with both hands, and stretching his legs to interfere with Yu Liang at the same time.

Although Makelle is in his thirties, his confrontation ability is still incomparable to Yu Liang. Feeling the pressure from behind, Yu Liang directly hunched his waist and pressed his ass against Makelle behind him. But under the interference of Makellele, Yu Liang's center of gravity is still moving forward.

Yu Liang knew that if this continued, he would definitely be cut off by Makellele.

Because of the shift in the center of gravity, the ball has completely stepped on Yu Liang's feet.

After rubbing the ball forward with the ball of his foot, Yu Liang pushed the ball directly to Ferdinand.

Makelele saw Yu Liang pass the ball to Ferdinand, so he did not continue to press, but directly retreated to his own half. Without Makelle's interference, Yu Liang was much more comfortable. Soon the ball was back at his feet, but at the moment Chelsea were in a regrouped formation and not as high as they had been at the start. The formation was recycled, and the gaps in Chelsea's ribs naturally disappeared.

Losing the opportunity to attack with a direct long pass, Yu Liang began to direct his teammates to run and organize the attack in the backfield.

In the face of Chelsea's tight defense, Yu Liang kept making continuous crosses, trying to use the width of the pitch to pull Chelsea's defense, and then seek opportunities to break through from the middle. But Chelsea were not fooled, and the two defensive lines were closely integrated, giving Yu Liang no chance to take advantage of it.

Unable to break through in the middle, Yu Liang shifted the attack to two wings.

Of course, this is also Manchester United's attacking routine. From the first day Yu Liang came to Manchester United for a trial, he was exposed to this most simple and crude tactic. Although everyone knows this set of tactics of Manchester United, it is very difficult to really freeze such a set of tactics.

As everyone knows, Chelsea's dominant tactic is to defend intensively and then wait for an opportunity to counter-attack.

But will you be able to hold off their counterattack?

No!

Why?

Reasonable staffing and sincere cooperation have sublimated this seemingly simple tactic.

Just like the attack of Manchester United now.

Yu Liang passed the ball diagonally to Ryan Giggs on the left.

The pass was a clear sign that United were going to step up their attack on the wings.

Could Frank Lampard, the heart of the Blues' midfield, not know United's intentions?

Of course he knew, so he immediately pressed towards Giggs.

But did he stop Giggs?

No!

After Giggs feigned a breakthrough to attract Frank Lampard's defence, he split the ball straight to the touchline. Heinze, an Argentine who quickly plugged in, caught up with the football and rushed directly towards Geremi.

Instead of rushing directly towards Heinze, Grami jammed Heinze's incision and blocked the route of the cross, if you want to break through, I will break through for you! Your speed is not fake, and my speed is not slow.

In terms of speed, Heinze didn't have much of an advantage against Geremi.

After getting stuck in the path of cutting inside and crossing, Heinze burst some distance with the ball and couldn't get rid of Geremi, then smashed the ball back to Ryan Giggs. Giggs made an unsuccessful attempt to break through and played the ball back to Nemanja Vidic near the halfway line.

Vidic knocked the ball directly to Yu Liang in the middle.

After the attack on the left side reached a dead end, Manchester United's attack went too far at Yu Liang's feet and went directly to the right.

As soon as Ronaldo got the ball, Ballack pounced.

However, this time the German pounced more urgently, Ronaldo shook his ankle, and the football passed directly under Ballack's crotch, and then accelerated past Ballack's side, trying to pass Ballack.

Who is Barak?

The captain of the German national team, the spiritual leader of the German team, has an iron will and an unyielding fighting spirit. Just give you a hairy boy to wear the crotch, and you still want to complete the ball division.

No way!

Ballack reached out and brought down Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Manchester United fans at Old Trafford were cheering for Ronaldo's crotch one second ago, and at this moment they immediately erupted in boos and gave it to Ballack.

Backbite!

Webb blew his whistle as soon as he ran towards the foul.

was stopped by Barak and put down, Ronaldo jumped up very unhappily and pushed Ballack. Ronaldo's action directly angered the Germans. Barak, who was not in a very good mood, didn't expect to be provoked by a hairy boy. Just as he was about to find his way back to the field, Webb, who ran over, stood directly between the two.

After separating the two, Webb called them aside and gave them a verbal warning.

Ballack's foul awarded United a free-kick on the right side of the pitch.

It's just that this position is far from the goal, so it's not suitable for direct shots. But for Manchester United, it was a great opportunity to find the back of the net. They don't lack players with great passing skills, nor do they lack players with great headers.

Giggs, who was standing at the place of the foul, adjusted the football.

After Webb's whistle, Giggs raised his left hand into the box and, after a run, sent the ball directly into the box with his left foot.

The moment Giggs got to his feet, there was chaos in front of the Chelsea penalty area.

The Red-shirted Manchester United players and the blue-shirted Chelsea players intertwined and raced towards the box, scrambling for the ball still flying in the air.

After a spin, the ball flew straight to the middle of the penalty area.

Ferdinand watched the ball fly towards him, waved his big hand back, stuck the defender behind him, and swung his head against the ball.

Ferdinand's flurry of actions was done in one go.

But the moment he shook his head, he felt a darkness in front of him.

Behind him, John Terry was the first to strike, his forehead pushing the ball straight over Ferdinand's head.

John Terry's header over Rio Ferdinand thrilled the Blues fans who were following Chelsea and they immediately applauded Terry's clearance from the stands.

But their applause was drowned out in even louder cheers from the United fans.

Yu Liang is not involved in the attack of set-pieces, he is only responsible for controlling the second drop point and preventing them from attacking quickly on the perimeter.

But Yu Liang didn't expect Chelsea's clearance ball to fly directly towards him.

Yu Liang jumped lightly against the football, and after the chest and part hit the football, he quickly glanced at the situation in front of the goal.

John Terry's clearance gave the Chelsea players a chance to counter-attack, with the two full-backs cutting forward quickly. At the same time, Manchester United's players are also retreating. This has led to a vacuum in front of Chelsea's goal.

At the moment when Yu Liang stopped the ball with his chest and part, Rooney cleverly twisted forward and inserted.

Spotting Rooney's figure, Yu Liang didn't wait for the football to hit the ground, and directly picked up his right leg. (To be continued.) )
