Section 352 Pseudo No. 9
"Rossi is warming up on the sidelines!"
When Manchester United's offensive began to go on again, Parma also began to make substitutions, Keita, Rossi, and Thuram have all warmed up on the sidelines, but the only one of these people who can get everyone's attention is Giuseppe Rossi.
Keita and Thuram are all very good players, but they are not players who can score for the team at critical moments, only Rossi is a striker, so only Rossi is on everyone's radar.
Giuseppe Rossi has had almost no good season, his injury has put him off for half a season, and after his comeback, he stumbled for another half season, and it was not until the game against Lyon that he played at some level. Before the game, the favourites analysed that he would be one of Parma's key moves, as he had better technical skills than Cavani and could be more dangerous when he got the ball up front. However, his fitness has not been very good and United could make a difference if they had defended him tightly......
As Lineker was giving his opinion, another attack was interrupted. This time it was Rooney who attacked: Ronaldo tried to break through on the left wing, and after being stopped by Cannavaro Jr., he transferred to Rooney in the middle, and Rooney, who received the ball, immediately gave the ball to Tevez on the right side with a long pass - after Scholes was marked, only Rooney could play the role of the central state, Manchester United's arrangement was very good for Tevez to get a chance, but Agger made a timely tackle foul and put him to the ground, and he was saddled with a yellow card.
'Parma's defence is starting to tighten up now, Manchester United's attack is starting to pay off and Parma need some changes. Edinson Cavani was mainly tearing up in midfield, his role was not particularly obvious, and if he were replaced at this time, it should allow Parma to get some good chances......
Watching the game, the Italian commentator Carraci also made his own judgment, but before he finished his judgment, he saw the sign held up by Parma on the side of the stadium.
"Parma substitution, Rossi up...... Am I not mistaken, Milito? What was Li Bin thinking, why did he want Milito to come down? β
Karachi looked at the sign held up on the sidelines, stunned and didn't know what to say. In this game, Milito is almost one of Parma's best players, he is in the front position, withstanding the position of two defenders, so that Manchester United's two defenders have a big problem, which is also the essence of Parma's attack tactics in this game, but now, how to replace Milito?
What is Li Bin's substitution for? Replace Milito, who played the best, what does he want? Milito is in the strong dialogue, but he will never be soft-footed, why do you want to replace him?
"Is Li Bin's brain broken? How can Milito be replaced at this time? Replacing Milito, Parma still relies on what to attack. How could Li Bin commit such confusion at this time? Even if his mind is confused, there is Crespo sitting next to him, Crespo can also remind him that in 05, Ancelotti replaced Crespo's failure, has he forgotten? What are you thinking about replacing your main center forward at a critical moment? β
Not only him, but even the fans on the sidelines have a hard time understanding this substitution, Milito played very well, no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be the one who was replaced. Moreover, even if it is to replace him, it should be Crespo to replace him, how can Rossi be replaced by him? After Rossi replaces him, who will play the center? Cavani? But will Cavani be able to withstand his opponents?
"Parma, for part, seems to have made a rather stupid substitution, how can they replace Milito at this time? They are disrupting their own attacking tactics, playing like this, what are they thinking? Lineker spoke at the same time.
In the eyes of almost everyone, Li Bin's substitution was simply nonsense: they originally thought that replacing Cavani, replacing Rossi, and then Milito resisted in front, and Rossi and Arshavin organized attacks behind them, which was the best way to play. However, now it is Milito who has been replaced, what did Li Bin think about this time?
The only thing that didn't change his expression was the replaced Milito: he knew that this was a tactical change that had been said many times before the game, that his mission had been completed, and that the following thing was Rossi's.
And Rossi, who walked onto the pitch in such a situation, also walked directly to the front of the penalty area. When the game started again, it didn't take a few minutes for Lineker to suddenly notice that something was wrong with Parma, "Parma didn't put Cavani as a central striker, they used Cavani as a winger, but let Rossi play as a central striker!" The unthinkable decision that they had a player under 175cm playing as a central striker, did they want to play without a striker against Manchester United? β
What Parma did, Lineker immediately understood. They put Rossi in the middle of the midfield, and instead of pressing the opposition back line, he kept dropping back, taking the ball, pulling the side, nominally a number nine, but in fact a false nine.
This style of play is quite similar to Manchester United's Rooney's style of play, which makes the English fans who watch the game also feel that Parma is too crazy in their hearts: this style of play is obviously the most familiar style of play of Manchester United, and if you want to use Manchester United's style of play to deal with Manchester United, this approach is too crazy, right?
However, this change has played a role.
Rossi got the ball and didn't rush forward, but slowly moved forward with the ball in the middle, he didn't rush to accelerate, but on both sides of Parma, Cavani and Arshavin had already spread the wings and wanted to kill from both sides.
The two of them, on both wings, suppressed the positions of Patrice Evra and Brown on the two wings, while Rossi was still further forward in the arc, waiting for Motta and Toure to step in with the ball at the back.
Seeing Parma's style of play, Carrick took a step back and came here to steal. In Manchester United's style of play, tackles at the edge of the box have always been done by defenders. Although Rossi's position is a big threat, as long as he can grab the ball before Rossi passes the ball and make it impossible for Rossi to complete the attack, it will all be fine.
However, as if Rossi saw him rushing from behind, he suddenly accelerated forward, and rushed forward with small steps. Vidic was greeted by Vidic in front of him, and he had enough confidence in his body that he believed that he would definitely be the one who won the confrontation.
However, Rossi did not choose to confront him. He leaned forward, looking like he was about to speed through, but then he pulled the ball again and made a sharp turn backwards, allowing Carrick to run past him. At this moment, Vidic also immediately rushed over to make up for it, but at the moment he grabbed it, Rossi had already kicked the ball out of the box, and the ball was kicked directly to the top of the arc of the penalty area, where he took the ball and looked at the Manchester United backline that had a hole because of Vidic's fill, and blasted the ball out!
Van der Sar pounced in time, fell to the ground suddenly, and threw the ball into his arms!
Manchester United are still alive, they are a little bit away from the door being breached!
"It's thrilling! I didn't expect Parma to play without a striker, and they could use it well! Lineker said with some surprise.
"It's just a little bit off!" Karachi looked at this scene, but applauded, "If this goal goes in, the game is over!" Li Bin was not wrong to replace Rossi, this is a very remarkable substitution! β
Speaking of which, Karachi also continued, "The two teams have always had different views on whether the striker formation is an invention of Rome or Manchester United, and both Serie A and the Premier League think that this is their own invention, but in fact, this tactic was the Danube school of play at the earliest, and the earliest use was in 1932, Austria before World War II. And the pinnacle of this tactic was Hungary in the 50s, and speaking of which, the peak of Hungary's tactics was marked by Hungary's 6-3 victory over England at Wembley Stadium. This tactic has been around for a long time, but it is rarely used. Roma and Manchester United play like this, making people mistakenly think that they are the inventors, but in fact, the striker formation has been around for 70 years! β
These things, that is, some professionals are willing to look through them. Austria in the 30s, Hungary in the 50s, and Hungary, which was invincible in the world, are all things that are too old, the former is before World War II, at that time, football was still played by a large group of Jews, and the latter is also a long time ago, Hungarian Puskas have been dead for two years, and few people pay attention to those clichΓ©d things, but Karachi happens to know the way.
"Every time there is no striker, the most disadvantaged is England's parallel defense model, Austria in the 30s played 3-4 with England, almost breaking the pride of the English, Hungary in the 50s made England football lose its aura of superiority and enter the flat ground, Li Bin obviously knows this, his style of play is aimed at parallel defense a lot, he did not ignore the application of the false 9. However, what is admirable is that he did not use it at the beginning, the style of play without a striker formation may be affected by the stubborn defense, and may also be blocked because of the field, these are all problems, this tactic can be used as a change, not as a dependence, Li Bin knows this very well, he did not use this tactic to start, in order to seek safety, and now use this tactic in order to seek change. After being suppressed by Milito at half-time, Manchester United gradually adapted to Parma's attacking style, and it was unbelievable that Parma could change their methods and continue to slaughter them! β
Moreover, he calculated very clearly: because after being suppressed by Milito for the whole game, Manchester United's back line has also accumulated a lot of fire, and after losing the striker who suppressed them, it is difficult for them to still hold back in the backfield in the face of a retreating striker, which is too difficult for them. And once they bounce back and grab it, then this is a great opportunity for Parma! Li Bin's change is not only in the face of changes in tactics, but also in the face of changes in the emotions of players! β
"It's a pretty good change, a substitution, a completely change in the tactics up front, and all of a sudden, Manchester United are one step closer to losing!"
