"Mike, look at Schalke's side, what's the biggest problem."

When Ferguson started the second half, he didn't sit down, but stood and watched the game for a while. Then he asked Mike Perlan, the assistant coach next to him. Mike Perrin became assistant coach to Alex Ferguson after Queiroz left Manchester United.

As Ferguson has aged, the role of the coaching staff around him has grown.

"The formation is not compact enough."

The answer is simple.

But Ferguson smiled and nodded.

"There's a complete disconnect between their attacking players and their defensive players. And the young Greek midfielder, there may be no problem with partnering, but he has a poor sense of position alone. ”

What kind of coach is Alex Ferguson.

Alex Ferguson is truly the world's top coach.

Just look at Manchester United's history. Ferguson single-handedly cultivated the 92 generation of players who shocked European football at Manchester United, and their peak was the Manchester United treble in '99. Alex Ferguson's United were at their peak at the time.

Later, as the 92 generation aged and disintegrated, Ferguson began to develop a new generation of young players.

Among them are Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.

This group of players reached the peak again in '08, winning the Premier League and also the Champions League. With his outstanding results in '08, Cristiano Ronaldo also became the Footballer of the Year.

Then Cristiano Ronaldo left.

Everyone thinks that now Manchester United is starting to become civilian, and the results will definitely decline. But I didn't expect Manchester United to be in the hands of Ferguson, and the fighting power is still very strong. Look at the Premier League title again this season and the Champions League semi-finals. It is known as the team most likely to reach the Champions League final.

That's what Ferguson is capable of.

From the start of this game, Ferguson had already seen Schalke's weakness.

The formation is not compact.

There is a complete disconnect between the front and back. In the midfield, only Papadopoulos, a single midfielder, remains, and his quality is very good. But it's more that his physicality is outstanding, his running ability is outstanding.

But he was young after all.

Papadopoulos was not yet nineteen years old, and at such an age he had no experience at all. Therefore, against those teams with average strength, Papadopoulos relied on his running ability and did a good job. Or when working hand-in-hand with Matip, both of them make up for other shortcomings with their strong running ability.

But Papadopoulos alone, that's a big problem.

No matter how fast you can run, you can still be faster than the ball. When a team like Manchester United keeps moving you with passes, it doesn't matter how much you run. can only be played like a monkey by others.

That's the problem with Schalke now.

Although Kruger came on in the second half, Schalke still couldn't control the midfield. Let United's midfielder pass the ball unbridled in Schalke's midfield.

Jin Ming was too tired.

Running up and down the wing, you can't get the ball at all. The Schalke midfielder couldn't hold the ball at all, so he couldn't pass the ball to the wings. The loss of momentum in the whole midfield made the whole team unable to create a threat at all.

Schalke doesn't attack, Manchester United is different.

United had already had plenty of chances in the first half, but it was Neuer's bravery that kept Schalke clean. It's a pity that Neuer is just a great goalkeeper, not a real god.

Sixty-four minutes into the game, United had another chance.

Wayne Rooney received a pass from Carrick up front and then turned and handed the ball to Ryan Giggs. One of Giggs' counter-offsides had a one-on-one chance. Neuer couldn't do anything this time and couldn't keep Giggs' shot on goal.

Jin Ming couldn't help but pat his forehead.

The game was too depressing.

But the gloom didn't end there. Less than five minutes into Giggs' goal, Wayne Rooney slotted home again. Within five minutes, United had scored twice in quick succession against Manuel Neuer to give Schalke a 2-0 lead.

Jin Ming, who was on the side, didn't know what to say.

At this time, Jin Ming deeply felt the powerlessness of a person. Everyone has always said that football is an eleven-man sport, and this is definitely not a lie. Yes, it is.

The midfield lost momentum, and Jin Ming had no room to play even if he wanted to play.

After scoring two goals, Manchester United are playing more and more aggressively. They continued to put pressure on Schalke in midfield and wanted to keep hitting Schalke. A complete finish for Schalke in one game.

Jin Ming is really going crazy on the side.

"This way, this way."

Because he couldn't get the ball on the side, Jin Ming returned directly to his half this time and came to the middle.

Bear.

Sometimes you have to dare to take responsibility, this is what Raul occasionally says to Jin Ming these days. It's clear now that the Schalke midfielder can't get the ball out of the way at all. Since he can't wait, Jin Ming can only ask for the ball in the past.

"Metzeld, Jin Ming returned to the position of the midfielder. Jin Ming stretched out his hand to ask for the ball, which is rare. Metzelder handed the ball to Jin Ming. ”

It's rare.

Jin Ming has been retreating to the back position and asking Metzelder for the ball.

It was precisely because of the rarity that Metzelder handed it over to Jin Ming without any consideration. Although it was Schalke's half, Rooney, Manchester United's biggest name, was next to Jin Ming.

Jin Ming turned around slightly, and immediately accelerated.

No matter how much strength Jin Ming has now and how strong his ability is, speed is the foundation of Jin Ming's strength and the foundation of Jin Ming's strength. Therefore, for the use of speed, Jin Ming is also becoming more and more handy.

"Jin Ming, Jin Ming accelerated, Jin Ming broke through Rooney. Rooney didn't give up, and Rooney followed Jin Ming behind. ”

Wayne Rooney is a strong player.

However, Rooney's strongest thing is not his speed, nor his physical intelligence, nor his technical ability. Rooney is most commendable for his never-give-up spirit.

After being rushed by Jin Ming's sudden acceleration, Rooney did not give up. Originally, according to Rooney's identity as a striker, even if the ball was passed by Jin Ming, he didn't need to play like this. After all, he has a Manchester United midfielder behind him, as well as Manchester United's backline. Even if it's over, it has nothing to do with Rooney.

That's the kind of character that Clooney is.

Chase the ball in the back.

At the same time, because although Jin Ming is taking the ball in the back position, Jin Ming is a left-sided player. Naturally, they broke through to the left, so Valencia immediately defended Jin Ming in front.

This is Manchester United.

Manchester United have a very tight formation. The distance between the backline, the midfielder, the striker is never more than 20 meters, whether it is attacking or defending, they will abide by this.

Because this can support both the offense and the defense.

There will be no loopholes between one attack and one defense.

Although Jin Ming is fast, Rooney's speed is not slow. And because it was running from the middle to the side, Jin Ming's speed was not yet fully up. Therefore, Jin Ming could feel Rooney following behind.

Coupled with Valencia in front, there is a situation of pinching Jin Ming back and forth.

"Jin Ming, Jin Ming has a ball. Jin Ming's use of this speed is really wonderful. ”

Velocity.

Jin Ming's speed is really fast. Although Rooney and Valencia are both fast players, and they are both well-known players in English football, Jin Ming has no timidity at all.

When he was about to face Valencia, suddenly a man split the ball.

Not only did he pass Valencia, but he also made Rooney and Valencia almost run into each other. Jin Ming's combination of man and ball is still quite good, so many of the actions are made lightly in high-speed running.

"Jin Ming, Jin Ming has Fabio in front of him."

This is Manchester United.

Although not deliberately, their players defend layer by layer. As long as you are slightly blocked by them for a moment, then the United defence will be in order. This time Jin Ming was obviously suddenly accelerating, and Manchester United was on the offensive because the defensive line was not complete.

But even so, Manchester United is blocking Jin Ming layer by layer.

As long as Jin Ming paused slightly, their goal was achieved. However, Jin Ming was born as a wide attacking player, and was used by Magath as a counterattacking weapon last season.

Although Magath has not fully developed the potential of Jin Ming, the use of Jin Ming in the counterattack has been incisive. Therefore, Jin Ming is also quite clear about what he should do in the counterattack.

The last thing you can do at this time is to hesitate.

Therefore, although Jin Ming has already run more than 30 meters, it is almost 40 meters. But he didn't slow down his pace at all, but accelerated directly on the wing. No matter what happens after that, anyway, if you quickly advance into the opponent's penalty area, you can create a zào threat, which is what Magath told Sù Jinming.

This time, Jin Ming ran as Magath had taught him.

"Jin Ming, Fabio's reaction was quick. However, Jin Ming's speed was faster, and Jin Ming slowly widened the distance between him and Fabio. Jin Ming, Jin Ming is going to break through. ”

Be.

Fabio is a post-90s player and a teenager. Although he is fast and has good skills, the fullbacks from Brazil cannot be changed because they are strong in attack and weak in defense. When he defended Jin Ming, he couldn't compare to those experienced veterans.

Therefore, let Jin Ming overtake in the corner and go into the penalty area.

"Van der Sar, Van der Sar sealed the near corner. Jin Ming, Jin Ming has already come in. Jin Ming, Jin Ming...... Pass! ”

"Jin Ming, he didn't choose to shoot!"

"Raul, Raul rushed to the penalty spot. Raul, left-footed strafing! ”

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"One-to-two, one-to-two. Schalke pulled a ball back. ”
