Under normal circumstances, looking at the motivation of a player on the field, you can look at a lot of jù.

For example, the distance traveled.

More than half an hour into the game, Manchester City ran the most distance is Vidal, whether in defense or attack, you can see the figure of the Chilean, of course, this is also the characteristic of the Chilean, active running and fighting. The one with the least running distance was Adriano, who was Manchester City's starting striker in this game.

So, does this prove that Adriano is the laziest player in Manchester City's starting line-up? The answer is no.

Adriano did have a bad record in the past, but even at that time, he probably couldn't be passive on such an occasion. Therefore, the reason can only come from two aspects, one is the relationship of position, as a single striker, Adriano, so far has been responsible for all three shots of Manchester City since the start of the game, which of course does not explain his running distance, but explains his position limitations. On the other hand, it comes from head coach Lin Sen.

"Arrange your body reasonably and try to shoot from a distance."

This is what Linson gave Adriano before the game.

In the first half of the sentence, Adriano almost became Manchester United striker "dashing" Berbatov sitting on the bench in this game, and in the second half of the sentence, two of Manchester City's only three shots came from long-range shots.

For Linsen, who emphasizes the establishment of the first line of defense from the front line, such Adriano is very rare. And because of the rarity, Ferguson, who has been studying Manchester City almost in his dreams in the past week, naturally also sees it, but he doesn't care about it, because he is not worried about Adriano at all.

It's not because Ferguson despises Adriano, after all, it was Adriano's long-range shot that kicked Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid out of the Champions League, and Ferguson wasn't worried. It's because he has enough confidence in his defense, or to put it simply, the Manchester United team on the field, he is most assured of his central defender partner.

Ferdinand and Gavidic, even if you look at world football, how many strikers can make this pair fearful?

Ferguson is more worried about his two wings than Adriano.

There are some things that can be compensated, and fighting spirit is one of them. As long as there are the right conditions. And there are some things that can't be made up, such as natural talent, which is nothing to be left to chance.

While in many stories, hard work and talent seem to be inherently opposites, but what about the truth? It's never antithetical. On the football field, there are many inspirational dramas in which players with ordinary qualifications finally win a place for themselves with their own efforts, but there is never a shortage of idol dramas in which talented players set records with their own efforts.

Valencia and Park Ji-sung, against Bale and Robben.

Ferguson was never presumptuous. But not being presumptuous, it does not mean that you are empty-eyed, your own pair is compared to Manchester City's pair. The advantages and disadvantages are very obvious, and this advantage and disadvantage is precisely a reparable and irreparable relationship. The biggest advantage of Manchester United's wide combination is that the fighting spirit is impeccable. And Manchester City's wide combination. To put it simply, it is to be more prominent in personal ability.

Such an advantage and disadvantage, if it is just an ordinary game. Ferguson didn't think the other side would have any advantage.

Unfortunately, this is the Champions League final.

As I just said, the fighting spirit, as long as there are the right conditions, can be compensated, such as this final. But talent is irreparable, a simple comparison, Robben can run all over the field like Park Ji-sung, and Bale can also be a cameo as a full-back when necessary like Valencia, but Park Ji-sung is absolutely impossible to treat passing people as if he was drinking plain water like Robben, and even Valencia, who is fast, can't match Bale in this regard.

That's the difference, that's what Ferguson was worried about.

It is also based on this concern that Ferguson did not let Berbatov start in this game, and instead chose the "little pea" Hernandez with excellent ability to capture fighters to partner Rooney, in this game, he wants a finisher more than a frontcourt fulcrum, especially when the wing may not be able to occupy the advantage-

Watching, listening, and discussing.

Sitting in a somewhat unfamiliar studio hall, Gary Neville and the hosts Keith and Sun Hai, looking at the big screen, listening to the commentary of Martin Taylor and Andy Gray, discussing the tactics of the two teams and the player table, just watched the first half of the game.

Throughout the first half, there were occasional waves, but overall, the wind was calm.

It's like the atmosphere in the studio right now.

"Okay, the first half is over, two, what do you think?" Going into halftime, Guise went straight to the point and threw the problem directly to two people.

And this time, both Gary Neville and Sun Hai had a very unanimous view of the first half: in the first half, the two sides won and lost each other, but on the whole, both sides did not have a good appearance on the offensive end.

Of course, just because they agreed on the first half doesn't mean they have the same vision for the second half.

Gary Neville believes that the outcome is still uncertain and he undoubtedly wants United to win, but who wants to win and who has more hope of winning is always two different things. Hopefully United won, but whether United are really the better side to win, as the odds suggest, is another matter. Sun Hai, who looks very humble, has a bold outlook this time, and he believes that the initiative is on Manchester City's side.

The reason given by Sun Hai is simple, but also very realistic, that is: bench thickness.

When it comes to bench thickness, many people will think that this factor has a higher impact on the season than on a single game, because the length of the season, the thickness of the bench will ensure that the team is physically sufficient, and at the same time minimize the risk of injury impact on the team's strength. However, that doesn't mean that this factor doesn't have an impact on a single match.

In order to prove his point, Sun Hai gave two names, one is Adriano, who started this game but is not the absolute main force this season, and it was he who decided the quarter-final between Manchester City and Real Madrid. And the other name is Royce. In the away game against Barcelona, it was his play, which decided a qiē.

First Real Madrid, then Barcelona, who can guarantee that Manchester United will not be next?

The thickness of the bench is more about quantity for the season, and for a single game, it is about quality.

Take a look at the players on the Manchester City bench right now: Falcao, Di Maria, Reus......

When the game enters the second half, when the string in the hearts of the players on both sides has been tense, the surface is calm and the inside is treacherous.

It should be said that Sun Hai's view itself is not wrong.

The depth of the bench is indeed a big advantage for Manchester City, and this advantage is earned by Manchester City itself and by Manchester United itself. Manchester City, which is not bad for money, plus Lin Sen's plug-in, how can the bench not be thick? Manchester United, on the other hand, are often described by the media as being full of patches to show Ferguson's skills, but on the other hand, it also illustrates the shortcomings of United's current squad.

However, Sun Hai forgot one thing, that is, football games are never rules.

In the second half, Yibian fought again, and I didn't see personnel adjustments or tactical changes. A qiē seems to be just a continuation of the first half, but the mentality has been decidedly different.

Manchester City, who accompanied the other party to play half the Tai Chi, took the lead in carrying the cannon, and then, just a shell, directly scared all Manchester United fans into a cold sweat.

In the 47th minute, Adriano received a pass from David Silva 30 meters in front of the goal, and did not try to continue to break forward, but adjusted his posture slightly, fired directly from a distance, and hit the leg of Vidic, who forced Adriano out of the penalty area several times in the first half, and turned into a refraction that made Van der Sar almost lose his soul, and he almost gave up resistance.

However, the ball just went out of the door.

When he saw the ball roll out of bounds instead of the net, Lin Sen subconsciously made a "shout" gesture on his face with both hands, and Ferguson, who was still sitting in the coach's box, seemed to have a calm expression, but perhaps he forgot that his chewing gum action stopped completely at that moment.

"So close! What a pity! Andy Gray let out an exclamation, and from his point of view, he was even ready to shout "GOAL", Adriano's shot hit Vidic's leg and changed direction, Van der Sar couldn't do anything about it, but unfortunately it eventually slid out and Manchester United escaped! ”

'Manchester United's defence needs to be careful, Adriano did have a few shots wide of the net in the first half, but that doesn't mean they can let their guard down against him, Carrick was too careless with the shot just now, he should have interfered with Adriano in the first place.

……

Lin Sen has some regrets, no, very regrets.

Adriano's shot just now, as if the goddess of luck suddenly fell on Manchester City and suddenly flew away, if Manchester City can score this goal, then the next game, Manchester City will be much better, because at that time, Manchester United will have to attack, and the leading Manchester City can play the opponent's counterattack.

But, there are no ifs in reality......

Linsen chose to start Adriano instead of Falcao in this game, in fact, the former's long-range shooting ability accounted for a large part of the reason.

A lot of things were to be expected against Manchester United, including the most likely stalemate, and to break it, in addition to set-pieces, long-range shots were also a means of solving it, although it wasn't all the reasons.

Compared to Adriano, Falcao, who needs more help from his teammates to play his most powerful, will encounter greater difficulties than the former in this situation, although the striker said that the good point is to allow 89 minutes of inaction, and only one flash is enough to decide the game, but if there can be more flashes, as a manager, why not?
