Chapter 101: Mad Wolf Tactics

Chang Sheng walked to the sidelines and made a set of gestures that the others couldn't understand, but the Lazio players definitely could understand.

He's creating a closer connection between Candreva, Cazorla and Motta, while allowing Götze to drop back and Cavani to continue to roam up front and draw attention to the opposition's defence, and to stay up front if attacking.

Then everyone in the midfield has to establish an organic connection, when attacking, push together, shrink together when defending, and do it freely and consistently.

The "Mad Wolf Tactics" was officially launched.

By this time, the first half had already gone on for thirty-five minutes.

In the 35-minute game, not a single goal appeared, which made the commentator sigh that "this game is more than intense, but not exciting." ”

But in Chang Sheng's eyes, these 35 minutes are really exciting!

It is countless times more exciting than the two sides pouring seven or eight balls into each other.

Because these 35 minutes are a duel between two head coaches, you go back and forth, you make one move, I dismantle one move and then make my move, and then you dismantle my move and make your second move......

Just like that, you come and go, so that Chang Sheng is addicted to it in his heart!

The players have the way the players fight, and the manager has the way the manager fights!

It looked like there were no goals, the scene was uneventful, but there were several transitions between attack and defence, changes in possession, and changes in the advantages and disadvantages on the field, all of which were the result of the manager's encounter.

※※※

When Motta picked up the ball again, Carrick and Wayne Rooney rushed in front of him to flick him in front of him, with Paul Scholes still waiting for him.

The previous few times this kind of defence was successful. One of them broke the ball directly and launched a counterattack, but it was unfortunately destroyed by Jose Passarella.

On the other occasions, although they did not break the ball to launch a direct attack, they also disrupted Lazio's attack.

But this time. The situation is different.

Motta had just picked up the soccer ball and passed it before they could get around. Then he ran forward and got out of Carrick and Rooney's encirclement.

Candreva did not continue to possess the ball and passed the ball to Cazorla.

After passing the ball. He's the same as Motta. Running forward, too, but not in a straight line. Instead, it was written that ran out of an angle.

Cazorla received the ball and repeated Candreva's previous moves.

But it doesn't have to be to be passed to Candreva or to Motta, he can pass to any Lazio player who appears next to him.

That's it, a few seconds. Lazio's three midfielders and the football team had already crossed the halfway line and headed towards United's penalty area.

Carrick is desperately trying to chase back, but he has a problem now.

He's not a speed player, and even if he's fast, he can't keep up with the speed of a football......

Rooney is even more embarrassed - do I chase or not?

If you want to chase back, you have to go to the front of your team's penalty area in one go, so will you still have a chance to participate in the attack? I'm an offensive player after all. You can't defend full-time......

But not to chase back...... It seems that Carrick alone will definitely not be able to handle so many people on the other side......

Just when Rooney hesitated to chase after him, Scholes and the rest of the United players chased it back.

There are only two people left in the front court: Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Rooney thought for a moment...... Forget it, I'd better chase it back......

So he buried his head and sprinted to the backcourt.

Cristiano Ronaldo saw Rooney also chasing back and wanted to stop him. But as soon as his mouth opened, Rooney ran away, and his voice could not be heard.

He sighed.

When they all go back, they are the only ones left in front of them, so isn't it the same as before?

was pressed back by Lazio, and then he couldn't get up......

Then their Motta can then calmly organize the attack at the back......

※※※

Lazio's attack was fast-moving, but it didn't threaten United's goal.

Cavani's shot was distracted by Vidic and was saved by goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

Fans can breathe a sigh of relief that Lazio launched a pointless attack.

But United manager Alex Ferguson can't see it that way.

He sniffed bad from this attack.

Especially when Lazio pushed forward as a whole, Manchester United could only be forced to chase back, so it became the way it was before the adjustment......

The players must be pressed back to attack against attack!

This time he didn't let Mulensten go, he got up from the dugout himself, and then walked down the steps to the sidelines.

He didn't shout, but he gestured, he waved his arms and swiped forward twice.

Anyone who sees him will know what it means.

As a result, Manchester United regained their strength and launched a fierce attack on Lazio's penalty area......

※※※

The entire first half passed in a battle of wits between the two managers.

Because the entanglement was very tight, neither side had too good chances, so naturally there was no goal.

When the first half ended, the score was 0:0.

There were no goals, there were few even dangerous shots on goal, and the two sides mainly battled in midfield.

So there are a lot of fouls of all kinds.

Several players from both sides were shown yellow cards.

There are also players who have been injured, but the injuries are not very serious.

For example, Pa collided with Rooney in the game, and he didn't get up at the time, but after treatment, he continues to be on the pitch and his performance is normal.

For Lazio, although this first half was a tug-of-war, there was good news that they did not concede a goal.

The score was still 3:2, and they were ahead.

Now United only have 45 minutes left to change the situation.

As the game time wears out, the odds will grow in Lazio's favour.

However, at halftime, Chang Sheng's expression was not relaxed at all.

"If you guys feel like the first half is exhausting, then the second half is going to be tougher, guys. As the end of the game approaches, United will go crazy if they can't get the ball out of the way for us. Like ferocious beasts, that time is often the time when we are most tired. Beware of Manchester United at this time. ”

'We played well in the final moments of the first half and when United were attacking and pressing us, we used our speed to break down their defence. Be ye convinced. Overall wheel speed. In today's football, there is no team that is our opponent! ”

※※※

The first half of the game surprised a lot of the media. The TV stations that broadcast the game asked the guests to analyze the first half at halftime.

The eyes of professionals and the fans who watch the excitement are indeed different.

Although this first half was relatively boring, in the eyes of experts, it was exciting.

Because this first half has a high tactical content.

Overall, Chang initially did what he said after the last round.

His team still holds a 3-2 lead.

However, the final conclusion of these experts is not as high as the winning setting.

'I think it's often a matter of trying to use this tactic to get tangled up with Manchester United in midfield. Dragged United down in midfield so they could not threaten Lazio's goal. It looks like an offense, but it's actually a defensive tactic. As long as they don't concede a goal, Lazio can knock Manchester United out. However, at half-time, Ferguson will definitely make a change and they will put more pressure on Motta......

These experts thought that Chang Sheng was arranging this for the sake of defense.

But in fact, Chang Sheng really intends to attack when he does this!

He doesn't think his team will be able to keep a 0-0 away game. It's hard not to let Manchester United score.

So you have to score more goals than Manchester United.

※※※

At the start of the second half, there were no personnel changes on either side.

Naturally, there were no tactical adjustments.

Manchester United still defended high and pressed, pressing Lazio with a fierce attack, while getting closer to Motta.

Lazio, on the other hand, used a rapid overall push to crack it.

For this. Manchester United frequently used various foul tactics to block their progress and interrupt their rhythm of the game.

The two sides were locked in another scuffle at midfield......

There is no sign of any possibility of change.

But...... The impasse always has to be broken.

Either it is the result of a conscious tactical arrangement, or it is an accident......

※※※

When Motta is getting tighter and tighter, it's time for the rest of Lazio's players to step up.

However, as the main players of Lazio, they also have a high reputation and strength.

It is impossible for Ferguson not to know the names of Gotze and Cazorla, or the threat posed by these two men.

As a result, Götze and Cazorla have also been closely watched by Manchester United's players.

But in fact, it is already difficult for Manchester United to defend like this.

Chang Sheng saw it clearly off the field.

Because there are so many attacking players in the Lazio team, Motta alone needs two Manchester United players, Cazorla and Gotze also need to be marked, not to mention Cavani.

So, in fact, Manchester United's defensive players have all the tasks to do, and the defense is also saturated.

However, United's defence remains tenacious, as evidenced by the fact that Lazio have not had too many scoring chances so far.

At this time, breaking the deadlock requires not only surprise, but also enough strength!

Chang Sheng believes that Candreva has such power!

This kid can run, and it was because of this constant victory that he was bought to Lazio, because his running ability and Lazio's tactics can be perfectly integrated.

Chances are out of the box, and Candreva will get more when Cazorla, Gotze, Motta and Cavani are all restricted.

It's up to him to see if he can grasp it!

The task given to Candreva by winning is to link up in midfield and get a long-range shot forward when he has the chance.

That's what Candreva does best.

At first glance, Candreva was still running, and there were no Manchester United players around him.

Manchester United didn't take this substitute midfielder seriously from top to bottom.

Because in terms of past results and stats, Candreva really doesn't deserve to be remarkable.

However, Chang Sheng knows that this player has run all the way to the giants......
