Chapter 392: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole (77/134)

Although Ferguson repeatedly stressed before the game that Manchester United's task in this game is to keep a 0-0 draw, although 1-1, or 2-2 is the better result, once the team has more ideas, problems can arise.

Ferguson has repeatedly told his players about this, especially when he mentions the point of "more ideas or not".

But when the players get to the game, it's inevitable that there will be actions that don't match the manager's expectations.

To put it simply, this is "the general will not be subject to the king's life outside".

In fact, it is precisely because of the ever-changing situation of the game that the players will inevitably no longer be able to maintain the idea they had when they first stepped on the pitch.

Sometimes it's the blood that rushes to the head and runs the manager's thoughts aside.

Other times, although they remember the manager's request, the temptation of the game is greater than the manager's advice, and their overconfidence in themselves and their misjudgment of the situation...... All of this will cause them to put aside the manager's advice for a while.

For example, the manager says to his players: "You can rest assured that your team-mates are in this game." "But when a player is facing an empty goal in a game, how many people can resist the temptation to pass the football again?

The vast majority of people will choose to shoot on their own.

Therefore, no matter how good or right the manager said before the game, it is impossible to control the thoughts and actions of the players 100%.

Because his players are a bunch of living people who think for themselves.

Even a person who has a high degree of control over the team like Chang Sheng will inevitably lose control of the team at some point.

It's not uncommon for Lazio to almost lose a match because of pride.

A momentary distraction on the pitch, that's more.

So no one dares to say that their team listens to themselves 100 percent, and there is no second heart.

Nowhere is this more evident than in Manchester United.

Despite Ferguson's early calls, his authority and authority in the team is also great.

It's really in the game. There are always some surprises......

※※※

The Manchester United players were excited when they realised that if they worked harder, they might be able to score goals and take the lead on the road.

The boss only asked them to complete one, but wouldn't it be better if they could give the boss ten in the end?

So the minds of the Manchester United players came alive.

Whether, again, when Lazio attacked, they recklessly passed the ball straight out, but lost it. Manchester United intercepted the ball and they started to try to counter-attack.

Rooney immediately turned and ran forward, and he raised his speed to the highest level.

Not only him, but other Manchester United players are also switching from defense to attack.

The midfielders spread forward and the full-backs are ready to move forward.

Manchester United didn't just kick the ball forward.

That's not about attacking. That's the breakdown.

Just like before, even if Manchester United got the ball, they directly kicked Rooney who rushed to the front. As for whether Rooney can receive the ball and how to attack after receiving the ball, this is not something for anyone else to consider.

Now it doesn't hurt, Manchester United didn't directly kick a big kick to the front, they pushed the football forward layer by layer.

This is a typical offense!

Manchester United is an English team though. But it is mainland football that is played, and more emphasis is placed on the feet.

So if Manchester United are going to attack like that, it means that they really want to go for the goal.

※※※

Chang Sheng saw this scene on the sidelines, and he lowered his head. A smile was revealed.

But when he lifted his head again, the smile was gone.

He didn't want people to know what he was thinking by his face.

Lazio have managed to lure Manchester United out.

But for Lazio, that's not the end of the story.

Because their opponents are not idiots, something that even ordinary fans can see. Ferguson could see it, of course.

As soon as he realizes the danger of doing so, he immediately stops his team from doing so.

The power of the old squire hair dryer is still very great. As long as he does that, many United players will regain their composure......

Then Lazio's chance is lost.

So for Lazio, it's actually this one chance.

Whether you can catch it or not will determine the direction of this game after that.

So Lazio must kill with one blow!

They are not entitled to squander and waste opportunities.

He hopes that Lazio's players on the pitch will be well aware of this.

※※※

The winning Lazio players know it well. Lazio's tactical lessons may be the deepest, and every player still has a tactical vision under the influence of such an environment.

They also know that for themselves, there is only one chance.

If it doesn't work out this time, it will be a surprise, and Manchester United will resolutely recover it and will not come out again until the end of the game.

So once they decide to counter-attack, they have to be fast, and decide what to do before they counter-attack, and don't break the ball and think about whether Lazio's attack will go in the middle or on the wing, will it be for David Silva, or for Ledesma, or for Gotze?

It had to be decided before then.

This is where multi-core tactics come into play.

Everyone is able to organize the attack, so the choice is much simpler.

Plus everyone has a tactical eye, so it's also easier for them to make the right decisions when they decide to pass the ball back and fight back.

It's a lot faster than having to hand over the football to the playmakers and then the playmakers decide how to attack.

This is also the reason why Lazio attack faster than the average team......

They eliminate a lot of intermediaries.

At the same time, it is also a tacit understanding cultivated by playing together for many years.

※※※

United's attack soon advanced into the Lazio half, and the small number of United fans in the stands cheered, although they were quickly drowned out by the boos of the Lazio fans, who continued to cheer happily.

Because at this time in the game, this is the first time that Manchester United can be regarded as "attacking...... Offensive.

They looked happy that the team had been able to keep Lazio at bay and still have the spare hands to counter-attack.

As for those who can't come to Rome with the team. Manchester United fans who can only tune in to the game live on TV from their homes or bars are even more excited.

They shouted excitedly: "them, Manchester United!" ”

United's attack has been progressing well, with Lazio rushing back and they haven't caused much trouble in midfield.

All the way to the front of the back line.

Rooney has been on the same line as the centre-back from the distance of Jose Passarella.

When he saw that his team's attack was really coming up, he started to move closer to the middle.

Why didn't he stay on the wing?

Because there were no of his teammates in front of him, for a relatively long time. His teammates may not be able to plug in the first place.

So if he pulls sides, it's really pointless......

He couldn't threaten the goal directly and push him to the side, which is exactly what the Lazio players wanted.

Lazio are worried about the trouble, why not Manchester United?

They also think that such a chance is the best time for them to score goals. So if you have the opportunity, you must definitely take it!

In order to directly threaten Handanovic's goal, Rooney naturally had to move closer to the middle.

Then his teammate made a through ball, and he started at the same time, hitting behind the Lazio back line, receiving the football, and the anti-offside position was successful. Form a single knife!

This is the line of attack that Rooney has in mind.

He thought his team-mate could see it, so he started to cut in from the flank and cut in from the middle, and when he was about to play offside, his team-mate passed the ball again. It's beautiful.

As he was about to get to the middle of the lane, Rooney suddenly turned forward!

At the same time, Carrick, a Manchester United player who was holding the ball in the frontcourt, suddenly kicked straight away!

The timing is just right, not offside at all!

※※※

"Carrick passes! Nice straight stopper!! Manchester United's chances—"

With an exclamation from the narrator. There was a huge cheer from the Manchester United fans in front of the television.

"Beautiful-!!"

※※※

And on the other side......

"Carrick straight stopper...... Lazio is in danger!! ”

The Lazio fans in front of the TV clenched their fists and stiffened. Looks nervous......

※※※

Just when everyone thought that this counter-attack from Manchester United would break through the Lazio defence, and then Rooney would score.

The football is the reddest but it doesn't really roll to Rooney's feet.

Wayne Rooney had run to the passing route, but the ball didn't come!

He looked back and saw that between him and Carrick, a figure had suddenly appeared...... He wears the captain's armband of Lazio and it is Jose Passarella!

The Spanish international stretched out his long leg and blocked Carrick's pass!

It was as if he had seen through Manchester United's attack a long time ago, and moved in advance to appear where he should have appeared!

United's attack was stopped by him!

The cheers of the Manchester United fans in front of the TV came to an abrupt end!

Lazio fans exclaimed, with a sense of detachment from the aftermath of the catastrophe.

"José! Jose! Jose Passarella! At any given time, he is definitely a line of defense that Lazio can trust! Once again, he saved his team! ”

The Italian narrator on the TV shouted excitedly.

The Lazio fans at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome also jumped from their seats and chanted for the defense of Sepasarella.

And Jose Passarella, who broke the ball, didn't have time to enjoy the cheers, he quickly put the football in front, and Modric, who was still on the back, did not receive the ball, turned around directly, let the football pass, and let himself complete the action of turning and adjusting, and now he is facing the direction of attack, facing the Manchester United goal!

Lazio's horn of attack, blowing!
