Chapter 356: The Red Devil's Dilemma

"Phew, what the hell is wrong with Cristiano?"

"If it doesn't work, spread it! What the! ”

"Alas, it's a pity for Carlos' pass!"

After another misstep, some Manchester United fans couldn't sit still and began to complain, faintly dissatisfied with Ronaldo's wave shot, and couldn't help muttering.

A fan of a team has never said that it will be a fan of a person, Beckham is impossible, let alone Ronaldo.

The only one who can really unite Manchester United fans is Alex Ferguson. But even Ferguson, in the two years of 04 and 05, there were times when he was defected by Manchester United fans.

So seeing Ronaldo's individual efforts increase, it is normal for Manchester United fans to complain.

Because he went it alone, not only did it have no effect, but more importantly, Manchester United's defense on the right side could not withstand it.

After the start of the second half, most of Arsenal's attack was concentrated on the left flank.

Ferguson has already seen that his old opponent is playing the strategy of attacking instead of defending.

Use the attack on the left side to make up for the natural defensive holes on the left side.

Ferguson actually thought of this step, allowing Ronaldo to strengthen the offensive and cut inside to attack Silvestre, which also allowed the opponent's left-back to pull in to make up for the defense and consume his energy.

It's just that he couldn't think that his strongest killer weapon would be so 'unbearable' in front of that opponent's defense.

Cristiano Ronaldo's solo play is completely ineffective, but because of consecutive defeats, the Portuguese are a bit caught in a vicious circle, and the more they can't play, the more they have to explode at this point.

The aura of the past has become gambling at this moment.

Let him strengthen the offensive of individual combat, it does not mean that Ferguson completely let him fight alone, he just wants to involve Xiang Hao more in that area.

But the containment is containment, but Xiang Hao's power has not diminished at all, but he has taken advantage of the opportunity to switch from defense to offense again and again, and frequently hit the ball into the left side, but he hit behind his side.

Such signs are not what Ferguson originally envisioned.

But what worries Ferguson the most is that the mental state of this Arsenal team, they are not in a hurry at all!

Ferguson thought that in the second half of the game, Arsenal would bring the whole rhythm of the game and play their own attack, like a tidal wave, wave after wave, just like in the past few years.

But this expected scenario did not appear, Arsenal played steadily, very steadily, as if they were down 0-2, not them, but Manchester United.

Ferguson was puzzled and was 2-0 down, and even though Arsenal still had a home game, it was difficult to catch up with such a scoreline.

Not to mention that their own team is stronger than them, even if they are equal in strength, they are sure that they will score three goals on their home turf.

Ferguson felt that there was something going on here, as if there was always a thorn stuck in his throat.

"Phew, Cristiano is obviously in a hurry, it's very different from the first half, he seems to be vindictive, and he doesn't have teammates in his eyes."

Mortensen shook his head with some sighs, from the second half to now, what Ronaldo's performance is, he also sees it.

It's like a repeat of the last Carabao Cup final, Cristiano Ronaldo's pattern is too small.

Blindly trying to solve the battle with their own strength, after several consecutive failed attacks, the entire Manchester United's attacking rhythm has been interrupted.

'Manchester United can revert to the way they did in the first half and play a little bit more flexibly. In the first half, Cristiano was good enough in the first half to use himself to contain Arsenal on the entire left flank.

The current situation has allowed Cristiano to face Hao's defense too much one-on-one, and the entire attack of Manchester United has fallen into a state of pause.

It was clear that United had mistaken tactics in the second half and they had to adjust in time. Lineker is vaguely anxious for Manchester United.

So far, Manchester United has an absolute advantage on the field, and the big score is 2-0 ahead, such a good situation, Manchester United did not hurry up to control the game, but played not as well as the first half, Lineker puzzled.

Ronaldo's performance in the first half against Xiang Hao was remarkable, but after the second half, there was a big change.

In these fifteen minutes, Ferguson seemed to lose control of the game, and the field spread to chaos, which is not Manchester United's style, let alone Cristiano Ronaldo's real strength.

Especially now Arsenal's performance is really a bit abnormal, the mentality of the players is 'abnormal', they are not in a hurry at all, and they are not in a hurry.

Such a mentality makes Lineker Moore worry about Manchester United, and he is also the same as Ferguson.

Could Arsenal really be so sure that they can turn the tables around at home? Or is it really just accepted, a failure?

All the people had the idea that the second half of the game, so far, they don't understand.

"What's going on? It's a bit weird. ”

"What happened to Cristiano? Why did he do it with Hao, didn't he perform well in the first half? ”

'Arsenal are not in a hurry, they are not playing right, you must know that they are 2-0 down.

"The second half was a bit boring."

Watching the situation change on the field, there are constant doubts, and puzzled questions.

Cristiano Ronaldo played abnormally, and the style of play in the first half was completely different, too lonely, and Manchester United was a bit chaotic.

People don't quite understand why Manchester United, which has the initiative, has such a change?

As for Arsenal, this steady and steady posture is not like Arsenal's style.

The mode of playing the whirlwind, but Arsenal's forte, especially if they are still the lagging side, they have to rush the tempo.

Pressing through the half at once, but when it comes to positional battles, it is a slow and methodical attack, doesn't this give Manchester United time? Really!

Some fans couldn't stand it anymore, and began to complain secretly in their hearts, hoping that Wenger could give more accurate information, so that the players could press up and attack!

But in fact, Arsenal's lack of urgency is precisely what Wenger demands.

He wants United to focus all their attention on their defense on the right side, not only to suppress their attack on this side, but also to mobilize their forces to get the United players used to this defensive thinking.

"Phew, Cristiano, if this continues, Manchester United is a little dangerous, and Arsenal will definitely fight back."

Mortensen sighed a little unhappily, worried about Manchester United, Ronaldo played too forgetful.

In another duel, Ronaldo's legs, which were full of anger, were like a motor spinning at high speed, and finally went further and "snapped".

The Portuguese finally passed Xiang Hao and grabbed a step.

But this step, because he had to pass Xiang Hao, Ronaldo used all his strength to come, and it was a big trip.

Gibbs, who was inactive in defending against Ronaldo, finally waited for the opportunity to take the lead and stabbed the ball to Xiang Hao.

After Xiang Hao took the ball, a pass through the center circle was passed directly to Bendtner, who was pulling the side.

It's a pity that the second brother didn't pass the ball at the first time, stopped for a while, and planned to show his footwork, but Carrick saw through it.

A sliding tackle that breaks the ball off his feet. Although the ball was won by Nasri, who snatched it back, the Manchester United defense has also landed.

Arsenal's attack this time is still a tough battle, and the game is once again anxious. However, at this time, it was Arsenal who had the upper hand.

Through this steady rhythm of the game, Arsenal finally took back the initiative of the game and began to press back Manchester United.

'Manchester United have to adjust in time, Ferguson has to give the players a clear attacking routine, not Cristiano, like that.

Otherwise, Cristiano will be replaced, and in the second half of the game, he obviously took too much of the ball, and Wien and Carlos basically did not have the opportunity to participate in the team's attack in the front court.

The whole of Manchester United's attack, in fact, is out of touch on his side, and United need to be a little more tactically safe. ”

Almost half an hour has passed, Manchester United's attack is still disappointing, to be precise, it is the disappointment of Ronaldo, Mortensen was not polite at all, and directly suggested that Ferguson make a substitution.

'Well, Cristiano needs to make sense of the situation, it's Manchester United who have the advantage now, he doesn't have to attack so hard, get back to the first half, he definitely has a chance to score.'

Lineker agreed with Mortenson's view of the current situation, but shook his head firmly about Mortenson's suggestion that Ferguson make a substitution.

'I don't agree with replacing Cristiano now, he's on the pitch and it's a deterrent to Arsenal.

Now if they want to replace him, then what Manchester United will get is a released Hao, and I don't think Ferguson is unaware of this problem.

Once Hao presses out, then Arsenal's attack will not be delayed like this, but wave after wave of impact, Hao's long-range shot and the advance in the midfield, Manchester United may not be able to say that it can resist 100%.

Now Cristiano is consuming Hao, although he has not exerted the strength of the previous one-man combat, but with him, Hao must always keep an eye on his back.

In this respect, Cristiano's tactical role was successful. ”

As one of the bullishes on Manchester United, Lineker is absolutely unlikely to agree with this suggestion.

After watching Xiang Hao's games so much, he knew very well that once Xiang Hao's energy was put more into attacking, few people would be able to stop him.

Xiang Hao's mid-lane rush has long been a nightmare for many people, and once he is released and let him find his rhythm, it is more terrifying than a torrent.

Lineker understands it, and so does Ferguson.

The old man put his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless, and only by chewing on the gum could he see the dissatisfaction in Ferguson's heart.

Although Ferguson attaches great importance to Ronaldo and cultivates him as his own child, the Scots are not loving fathers, but strict fathers.

If it weren't for the purpose of containing Xiang Hao, Ronaldo would still be stronger, and Ferguson would have replaced Ronaldo a long time ago to wake him up.

Now he can only hope that the rest of the team can adjust in time to get the game back on track, and to do so, he motioned for Andre to play more into the left flank.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and United's second-half 'inertia' was inevitable.
