Manchester United's attacking football is not as glamorous as Spain, nor is it Italian's more heroic, and if fans in other leagues see Manchester United's attacking football, they won't think how strong Manchester United is - that's what it looks like.

But Manchester United is one of the strongest teams in the world today!

Although it is only 'one', the strongest means that in the first group, they can be compared with AC Milan and Barcelona, while Roma is definitely not one of the strongest, they can only be second-rate, the second group, and a quasi-giant team.

What's so good about football at Manchester United?

Their attack is very English style of football, and on that basis they have made some improvements, to make the football more penetrating, to make the football more cooperative, their passing, especially in the attack, tends to be very direct, but very effective, they don't do subtle combinations just for the last pass, but do subtle combinations before shooting, for the first goal, that's the difference, and it makes Manchester United football efficient.

In Manchester United's efficiency football, the most important thing is the midfield, the most important thing is the striker, in this game, Ruud van Nistelrooy started the game, the Dutch striker seems to have fully recovered, his start gave Manchester United momentum a boost, for Manchester United, Van Nistelrooy is still quite important, he can always score goals is a testament to this.

When Ruud van Nistelroy was on the pitch, Rooney had to play as a second striker.

Rooney's fame is no less than that of Van Nistelrooy, he is young, strong and expensive, but in fact, in Manchester United, Rooney is now difficult to replace Van Nistelrooy's position, his occasional appearance may be good, but the overall stability of the table and the dominance in the penalty area are much worse than Van Nistelrooy.

Up front, Ruud van Nistelrooy has a combination of Paul Wales, Roy Keane and Cristiano Ronaldo and Phil Neville. It was enough to gain an advantage in the midfield confrontation with the Roma team, and with this lineup, Manchester United's attack suppressed Roma at the beginning of the game.

However, the defensive counterattack that Roma was supposed to play, for the control of the midfield, will not compete too hard with Manchester United.

The two teams tacitly entered a mode - Manchester United attack. Roma defends and looks for opportunities to counterattack, and at the same time Manchester United has to worry about their defense, the two teams play like this, Roma is more passive, but no one dares to say that the current Roma has no power to fight back, and Manchester United's active attack is also very threatening, and then it depends on who of the two teams is better.

……

Roma fans don't care if the team is passive, in fact they are prepared before the game.

Today, nearly 95,000 Roma fans come to the Stadio Olimpic. Their aim is not to see how the team can beat Manchester United in a tight way, which is very unrealistic, they are more concerned about the result, and they hope that the team can go one step further in the Champions League and achieve a new breakthrough in more than two decades.

As long as you can achieve this goal, it doesn't matter if you are passive.

What's more, they know that the team is not as strong as Manchester United, and Roma fans are even more blind. It's crazy, but most people are sane. They like Roma and know Roma, compared to Manchester United, Roma is really nothing, even if it is their home stadium, but the difference between the two teams is enough for Manchester United to suppress Roma.

Like those media outlets say, Manchester United have Ruud van Nistelrooy. With midfielders Paul Scholes and Roy Keane and a whole line-up of world-class defenders at the back, what does Roma have? Totti isn't necessarily better than Paul Scholes and Roy Keane, Cassano, De Rossi? Manchester United does not have Tiruni and Cristiano Ronaldo in the lineup, and the first two and the latter two cannot be compared at all. Cassano and De Rossi are Roma stars, but Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo are already world superstars, and they are a little younger.

So compared to Manchester United, Roma is really nothing.

Perhaps the only one worth mentioning is Zhang Tiehan, Roma fans believe that if the team has a better position than Manchester United, that is Zhang Tiehan's point, the same position Manchester United is Van Nistel, Van Nistelroy is the Dutch general, but can he compare with Zhang Tiehan? Zhang Tiehan is young, physically stronger, and the most important thing is that Zhang Tiehan has scored more goals than Van Nistelroe this season, which is the most important thing, and it can also be directly positive, and now Zhang Tiehan is better than Van Nistel, which is the only thing they can think of to be gratifying.

So many people are paying attention to Zhang Tiehan.

There is nothing to see in the game of the two teams, more fans, the media like to see the star's table, and only when one side scores a goal or has a wonderful table, can they pull their eyes back, obviously Zhang Tiehan is the star that everyone pays attention to, he has repeatedly been created zào goal miracles, even if Rome plays passively, no one dares to say that Zhang Tiehan will be bad, perhaps, Manchester United does not pay attention, Zhang Tiehan scored.

That's what everyone thinks.

There were even two commentators who supported each other when commentating the game, and the commentator on the Roma side bet that Zhang Tiehan would definitely score, but the other commentator who supported Manchester United disagreed, quipping, "If Zhang can score, then I will imitate the Joker's funny pose on the spot and worship all the fans in front of the TV." ”

"Of course, if Zhang doesn't score, you're the one who does it."

The bet between the two is also a joke for fans watching football games, but it also shows that there are still people who are not optimistic about Zhang Tiehan, after all, Manchester United has a great advantage, especially in this game Ferdinand played, Zhang Tiehan was more tightly defended, and it was very difficult for him to break free from the defense and score the ball by his own ability.

However, there are also 'fanatics' who think that Zhang Tiehan will definitely score.

They convince others and convince themselves for a very simple reason - Zhang Tiehan has always been a miracle player, no matter how passive the situation is, as long as there is a slight opportunity, he may score, just like the last game between the two teams, Zhang Tiehan scored the 'God-possessed' goal.

……

Just when many people were talking about Zhang Tiehan, Zhang Tiehan was fighting for a position with Ferdinand in the front court, trying to entangle with Ferdinand.

Rio Ferdinand's defence really caused him a lot of problems.

In United's backfield, he can get very little support, many times Roma's attack is just a counterattack, it is too difficult to miss the fast break time to push forward and find opportunities, when Zhang Tiehan gets the ball, he has very few teammates around him. Sometimes there are teammates who want to help, but there is no way, Zhang Tiehan is besieged by many people every time.

He's stuck in this predicament.

When he didn't get the ball, Ferdinand's entanglement was annoying enough, and after getting the ball, Manchester United immediately blocked him, especially since Roma did not have many people to attack. Manchester United can calmly divide the manpower to limit Zhang Tiehan, which is already good for him to get the ball and not concede a goal, let alone take a forward opportunity to shoot.

In the first ten minutes of the game, Zhang Tiehan conceded twice in the game.

It's nothing, what bothers him the most is Ferdinand's defense, Ferdinand has more defensive experience than Silvestre, is physically stronger, and has better skills, in terms of Zhang Tiehan's feelings. Rio Ferdinand's defence is all about 'Silvestre' and it will be very difficult for him to get rid of Riodinand before he gets the ball.

He kept trying to do it, but it didn't work out well, and he didn't succeed once.

Manchester United took the initiative in the game, their defensive pressure was not great, Ferdinand followed Zhang Tiehan throughout the game, as long as Zhang Tiehan appeared in the half, Ferdinand will definitely appear next to him. This big black man is like Zhang Tiehan's personal bodyguard...... Zhang Tiehan thought so, but when the two stood together. No one can be sure who is who's bodyguard, after all, Zhang Tiehan is two or three centimeters taller than Ferdinand.

In short, Zhang Tiehan was entangled by Ferdinand.

Ferdinand's defensive style is very simple, he will try to cooperate with his teammates to block Zhang Tiehan's route, and then try to follow Zhang Tiehan's side, so that it is very difficult for Zhang Tiehan to get the ground ball passed by his teammates, and his best chance is to fight for the high ball. He still has a little bit of an advantage in this area, but Ferdinand is also very tall, very physical, and has a good bounce, and every time Ferdinand takes a good position. There's nothing he can do about it - he can't just run past Ferdinand to grab the ball, that's a foul.

In addition, even if Zhang Tiehan gets the ball, it is useless.

Manchester United limits the area where he gets the ball, he is almost impossible to get the ball in a sensitive position, even if he gets the ball, there will be Manchester United players other than Ferdinand to defend, such as Silvestre, and then such as the retreating Scholes, Roy Keane, etc., Manchester United is in defense, the whole team seems to be paying attention to Zhang Tiehan, they don't give Zhang Tiehan a chance.

Zhang Tiehan could only smile bitterly in his heart.

It seems that Manchester United really attaches too much importance to himself, he doesn't know whether to be satisfied or dissatisfied, satisfied that Manchester United values himself, obviously, Ferguson's bad old man has faced up to his own ability, and let the entire defender, all the players in the midfield pay attention to their own defense, which is also an affirmation of themselves.

I don't like it, but I really don't have much of a chance in this way.

……

Many people have seen Zhang Tiehan's situation.

Many Italian media expressed concern about this, and as an Italian television station that supported Rome, they naturally had to say a few words to express their worries, "Zhang has encountered some trouble. ”

"Sorry, it shouldn't be described as 'some', he's really in big trouble!"

'It seems that United have learned the lessons of the last leg between the two teams, they have done a lot of work on Zhang's defence and a lot on the pitch, Rio Ferdinand, Silvester and even the captain up front, Roy Keane, will be next to Zhang, and he will have to deal with several opponents alone.

"As long as Zhang gets the ball, they will go over and defend ......"

"Maybe Zhang needs the support of his teammates, but Roma can't attack at all, and even if they can, they are more afraid of the defensive ...... at the back than Manchester United."

This is the situation in Rome now.

There are a lot of players in the backfield, but they don't dare to pull the lineup to attack, they can only play counterattacks, really push the attack, they won't attack too far forward, the main thing is to worry about the defensive problem, in case there is no goal and Manchester United is beaten back to a fast attack, it is very dangerous, no matter what, you can't take that risk.

It's not cowardice, or lack of risk-taking or anything, I'm afraid Manchester United would like Roma to attack, so that as soon as the Roma squad is opened, they really have a lot of opportunities.

Manchester United in the dugout.

The old man Ferguson watched the game with great grace, Manchester United had not scored yet, they did not have a score advantage, but looking at the old man looked like they were going to win the game.

The old man looked confident.

When the two teams drew together, Ferguson was very confident, after all, Roma is not too strong opponents, the only thing is that the two teams did not know each other at all, and could only understand the opponent through some media reports and video materials. As a result, Ferguson got to know Zhang Tiehan again, and he also formulated a defense against Zhang Tiehan in the last game, but the effect was not great, Zhang Tiehan scored two goals, which was simply two slaps in the face of Ferguson.

But through the game, Ferguson knows Roma better.

Roma's quality is very different from Manchester United's. The only real threat is Zhang Tiehan, so Ferguson did a lot of work on Zhang Tiehan's points in this game, and he even 'sacrificed' Ferdinand to mainly defend Zhang Tiehan, and at the same time told Sylvester not to insert too far forward, and others also cooperated with Ferdinand in defense at the right time, so that he felt foolproof.

As long as Zhang Tiehan doesn't score, what threat can Roma create?

Ferguson couldn't have imagined that he could score two goals as long as the team could show normalcy. The final victory was for Manchester United, but the game itself proved that it was not easy to break down Roma's defensive formation at the Stadio Olimpic.

Even if they have Ruud van Nistelro, Cristiano Ronaldo, Paul Scholes and Roy Keane, and even Rooney, who should be the first striker, is a brilliant talent. But it's still difficult to break the goal, after all, this is the Olympic Stadium. And the Roma defense has also done a lot of work on the defense.

But it is undeniable that Manchester United's attack is still very threatening.

Twenty minutes on, United had five direct shots, three of which hit the woodwork, notably Rooney's sudden long-range shot that almost hit the post. Even if there is no goal, there is a lot of noise in front of the Roma goal.

The Roman offensive side showed little of it.

A shot on goal in 20 minutes came from a long shot from Zhang Tiehan's hasty foot, which was also blocked by Sylvestre with his body, as if he was interpreting the meaning of a martyr. resolutely blocked the flight path of the football, and then Zhang Tiehan was a little annoyed that the football failed to play hard, otherwise Sylvester would not have had a chance to block the ball.

All in all, Qiē is moving in the direction of Manchester United's victory.

But Manchester United also have problems, the main thing is that they haven't scored so far, there are a lot of chances, a lot of shots, a lot of threats, it all boils down to one point, they haven't scored so far.

What's the use of a game advantage?

The most important thing is to score, the last round between the two teams, Manchester United had the advantage of the whole game, but in the end it was a draw with Roma, so the advantage is useless, the most important thing is to score, as long as you don't score, Manchester United people's hearts are always lifted.

Old man Ferguson was a little anxious.

He paced to the scene, shouting the names of the players, telling them what to do, and pointing out the mistakes in what they were doing, which seemed to be good, but no Manchester United player wanted the old jazz to mention him, and Ferguson's yelling was definitely a big killer in the dressing room, and there was no Manchester United player who was not afraid.

Even players who have been with Ferguson for more than ten years, such as Scholes, such as Roy Keane, etc., are afraid of Ferguson's yelling, so they can only try to do their job as well.

Ferguson's yelling really helped.

The Reds then made significantly fewer mistakes, and the attack was smoother with fewer mistakes, and they played two brilliant games in a row to get the ball into the box, and on one occasion Ruud van Nistelrooy got a shot on goal, he kicked the ball hard with his back-heel, only to bounce off the goalkeeper's foot and still couldn't score.

But when he saw the team's appearance, the old man Ferguson seemed satisfied, and he sat back in his seat, and a gentle smile was gathered on his face again, as if it was someone else who had been yelling just now.

……

At this time, Zhang Tiehan was fighting Ferdinand in the frontcourt.

The two teams have been entangled since the beginning of the game, and it is still the case, various TV stations have given the two of them a lot of pictures, although Zhang Tiehan has nothing to do with the table so far, but the live TV pictures still give him a lot, especially every time he grabs the ball with Ferdinand, he will almost appear on the TV screen for the first time.

Fans can clearly see that in fact, the entanglement between Zhang Tiehan and Ferdinand is still dominant.

Many times in the same situation, Zhang Tiehan can grab the ball first, and after winning the ball, he occasionally has the opportunity to use stronger explosiveness to shake off Ferdinand, but Ferdinand is not fighting alone, and Zhang Tiehan is really fighting alone, and the collective advantage is reflected, Zhang Tiehan still has no chance.

Many people sighed, "It's a pity for Zhang Tiehan in Rome." ”

Even the Italian commentator who supports Roma said, "If Zhang can be at Manchester United, his appearance will definitely be better, at least he doesn't have to face the opponent's entire backline." ”

It's like laughing at the rest of the Roma players.

But the rest of Rome really couldn't attack it. At most, Totti, Cassano and Zhang Tiehan passed the ball to each other, but under the strict blockade of Manchester United, the probability of conceding the ball is not lower than that of their own dribbling, especially when Roma does not occupy the numerical advantage, they cannot send as many players as Manchester United to attack, so there are still very few others who can help Zhang Tiehan.

Zhang Tiehan also sometimes passes the ball to the back. But when it is passed back, there is no chance, and in most cases, the football will be directly snatched by Manchester United.

He could only rely on his own impact again and again.

"That's not going to work!" Zhang Tiehan gritted his teeth and thought.

If it goes on like this, he won't have any chances, that's how it started and how it will be in the second half. Drinel is hoping that even if he can't score, Roma will eventually knock out Manchester United if they don't allow Manchester United to score. This is the most stable option.

But watching the game, it is impossible for the team to hold the whole game.

In other words, in such a situation, if you want to beat Manchester United, you must have a goal, as long as there is a goal, the team can defend with confidence, otherwise there is no difference between blindly defending and handing over the victory to the opponent.

And what can you do?

Zhang Tiehan swept the Manchester United players around him, and then looked at his teammates who were trying to defend in the backfield. Suddenly, he saw a figure, running back in chagrin. That's Cassano, Cassano was shaken by C-Ronaldo's feet, he was very annoyed in pursuit, but he couldn't catch up when he started late, in front of C-Ronaldo, Cassano's star aura was really much weaker.

But Zhang Tiehan's eyes lit up.

Take advantage of a break in the serve. When Zhang Tiehan ran to the backcourt and passed by Cassano, he suddenly said, "Antonio, insert a few more times in a while, I will pass the ball to you if I have a chance." ”

Cassano was immediately a little excited, although the coach gave him the task of defending as much as he could. But after all, he is a striker and prefers to attack rather than be shaken off so easily by the Manchester United players, especially the pesky Portuguese.

"Okay, Zhang, I'll do it!"

……

Many people are disappointed with Zhang Tiehan's appearance, but when you think about it, it feels normal, just ask, under such a tight defense of Manchester United, who in the world can still be excellent?

It is estimated that even if Maradona came to this stadium at his peak and was in the same position as Zhang Tiehan, he would not have any good performance!

After all, Zhang Tiehan is facing the entire Manchester United backline, and he wants to score unless he is 'possessed by God' again.

So Roma fans began to worry about the team's defense, since Zhang Tiehan can't create a zào miracle, then they can only hope that the team's defense is more stable, otherwise it will be more difficult for the team to play if Manchester United scores, and this game is likely to end in a 'tragedy'.

Manchester United fans have the opposite view.

Roma's 'tragedy' is their 'comedy', they want Manchester United to score, and then it will be the beginning of the comedy, they will be happy to celebrate the goal for the team, happy to be ready for Manchester United's victory.

But wanting to score goals is not just a matter of words, United launched another brilliant attack, but when the ball was passed into the box, Ferrari headed it out. Soon, after several scrambles, the ball reached Totti's feet, and Totti did not hesitate at all, and drove the ball directly to the front.

Zhang Tiehan and Ferdinand are battling for position.

When he saw Totti's pass, 'see through' let Zhang Tiehan clearly know the landing point of the football, and he suddenly started to rush to the right side, after the first few times, Ferdinand also knew very well that Zhang Tiehan seemed to be able to predict the landing point of the ball first, so he also followed Zhang Tiehan closely for the first time and did not let him get the ball easily.

But after all, it was one step behind, and when Zhang Tiehan started, he still threw off Ferdinand's two positions.

Standing in a favorable position, Zhang Tiehan turned around and jumped up, stopped the ball firmly at his feet with his chest, and protected the ball with his body, Ferdinand followed closely and squeezed hard behind Zhang Tiehan, preventing him from turning around lightly.

Sylvester also pressed over.

This kind of scene has happened many times in the game, and the pictures of various TV stations also show the confrontation between Zhang Tiehan and Ferdinand and the movement of Sylvester, Sylvester and Ferdinand have formed a bag for Zhang Tiehan, and the defense in both directions will be very troublesome for anyone to face, not to mention that Ferdinand and Sylvester are very strong, experienced, and very good in technology.

Zhang Tiehan has to face such a defense.

At this time, it is somewhat similar to the scene just a few times, Zhang Tiehan gets the ball, and then has to face Manchester United's two big iron guards, he can't shake two people at all, and there will be no room to start.

Many people think that Zhang Tiehan is about to lose the ball again.

'Zhang is in trouble, he has to face both Silvester and Rio Ferdinand, I'm afraid there are no players in the world who can deal with these two, it's a world-class challenge......

"If I'm facing a defense like that, I might as well pass the ball straight to the opponent."

"We can expect Zhang to concede another goal next, it has happened many times in the previous games, of course, this is not to say that Zhang is not good, it is that Manchester United are too tightly defended."

Roma fans also saw it this way, and some of them covered their eyes with their hands, as if they couldn't bear to see Zhang Tiehan being robbed.

Others, including those media reporters, also watched carefully, although they had a 'hunch' that Zhang Tiehan would lose the goal next, but they still didn't want to miss any details of the game, in case ...... It's just that if something happens, they don't see it, they don't shoot it, that's a pity, and it's also a mistake in the work. (To be continued......)
