Chapter 1142: Single Knife Ball (II)
When there is a "fast horse" in the opponent's lineup, it is very dangerous to be beaten back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There is a "fast horse" in Liverpool's lineup, and it is not only fast, but also hurtful, he is Chen Yu, the world footballer.
Chen Yu's position in Liverpool is particularly respected, and he is the core force of the counterattack, Liverpool's ball wants to pass to him, and Manchester United's defense against him is also extremely powerful.
If Manchester United didn't press hard and launch a fierce attack on Liverpool, leaving a lot of space in the back, even if Liverpool wanted to counterattack through Chen Yu, it would be difficult for Chen Yu to have a chance to get the ball smoothly.
The ball passed to Alonso's feet as quickly as possible, and at this moment Alonso's eyes had just been withdrawn from the front court, from seeing the ball to getting the ball, he was very clear about how to counterattack, he did not pause when he received the ball, and directly raised his foot and passed long behind the defender.
Alonso's pass was well timed, Chen Yu was just getting ready to start, and the United defenders were also turning.
Alonso is in the top three in the hearts of Manchester United's defenders, except for Chen Yu and Gerrard, especially in the role of counter-attacking, Alonso is unique, without his long pass, Liverpool counter-attack threat is less than half.
When the ball was passed to Alonso, Manchester United's defenders immediately looked for Liverpool's two strikers to see what position they were in, and found that Kuyt and Chen Yu were not offside, and they immediately did a good job of dividing the work.
There is no problem with this defensive strategy, the problem is that Chen Yu's speed is too fast, almost at the same time, Anderson, who is ready to get close to Chen Yu, is not left behind, although the fullback Brown is in front of Chen Yu, but Chen Yu's speed is obviously faster than Brown, if Alonso passes the ball to Chen Yu, the distance is farther, Brown may not be able to grab Chen Yu in front.
Manchester United's defenders found that the ball was passed to the side to find Chen Yu when the ball was in the air, but at this time there was no way to contain Chen Yu, Chen Yu had quickly broken through on the side, surpassed Brown, and went straight to the ball landing point, Manchester United's defenders had to quickly return to the penalty area, focusing on Chen Yu's pass and inward cutting.
Brown's speed is not as good as Chen Yu, Chen Yu still has the spare energy to observe the situation around him when he is running at high speed, Kuyt's position is very good, and the two central defenders are almost at the same time, and only one Gerrard is followed behind, a little farther away, Chen Yu's cross wants to find Gerrard's point, you have to wait, but Brown is also very close, and Chen Yu has no time to wait after he gets off the bottom.
After looking at the surrounding situation, Chen Yu immediately made a decision to do it himself.
It's not that Chen Yu doesn't trust Kuyt, with what he knows about Kuyt, his speed can't completely shake off Vidic and Ferdinand in a short period of time, Manchester United's two defenders have enough experience to deal with Kuyt, so that Kuyt can't play at his normal shooting level, Kuyt's previous performances against Ferdinand and Vidic have also shown this.
Chen Yu began to accelerate, he had to completely shake off Brown and Anderson behind him, otherwise he would be surrounded and suppressed when he cut inside, and he would be too passive at that time.
Chen Yu's explosiveness is quite amazing, Brown and Anderson both have a feeling that Chen Yu is about to take off in an instant, they are worried that they will be pulled away too far away, so they can only follow the acceleration.
In the stands
Manchester United fans' hearts are in their throats, the situation of Manchester United is very bad at the moment, although there are only two people in Liverpool's counterattack, but it is Chen Yu who carries the ball, he has thrown off all the defenders, if he wants to cross the bottom, no one can stop him, if he doesn't want to cross the bottom, want to cut directly at the goal, there is also a great chance.
Manchester United has actually a lot of defensive players, Manchester United fans' reassuring combination Ferdinand and Vidic are there, the two fullbacks are also moving closer to the middle, there are only two people in the vanguard of Liverpool's counterattack, and only Gerrard has a chance to respond, but Manchester United fans still can't help but feel cold, which is all scared by Chen Yu, previously in the game with Manchester United, Chen Yu's performance is too prominent, as long as Chen Yu appears in Manchester United's half with the ball, even if Manchester United has ten players to defend, Manchester United fans' hearts can't settle down.
Ferguson was already standing on the sidelines, he was as nervous as the fans, as a coach, he knew very well what the situation of Manchester United was, whether they could prevent the opponent's counter-attack was not determined by the number of people, if you can't keep up with the ball player, no amount of defensive players is just a decoration.
"Follow Chen Yu! Follow him! ā
"Hurry up and run! Run faster! ā
Ferguson shouted vigorously, and the assistant coaches next to him also shouted, because the situation on the field was very tense, the fans on both sides were very worried, the singing, applause, and boos stopped, and the shouts of Ferguson and the assistant coaches could clearly reach the ears of the players.
Manchester United's defenders are not trying to run faster, they have almost taken out all the strength to feed, but the distance between them and Chen Yu has always been expanding rather than shrinking.
After Chen Yu accelerated, he slowed down slightly, then suddenly dialed the ball and changed direction, and ran diagonally to the middle of the penalty area.
At this moment, the fool also knew Chen Yu's intentions, Vidic and Ferdinand were originally running towards the penalty area, at this time Ferdinand immediately changed direction and ran towards Chen Yu, Vidic continued to run with Kuyt to prevent Chen Yu from passing.
On the other side, Anderson and Brown both followed Chen Yu to the middle, at the moment Liverpool's wing attacking players have not kept up, even if they do, Brown and Anderson will not leave a single person, Chen Yu's threat is too great, they would rather Chen Yu pass the ball to the players inserted on the side, put Liverpool crosses, and must also protect the middle.
Benitez saw that the momentum of the counterattack was very good, and he could immediately complete a good play of a bottom cross and a midfield outflanking, and suddenly found that Chen Yu was turning to the middle, he couldn't help but be shocked, this is a typical reluctance to go far and far, at least one attack can be formed on the side, but if you cut inside, Chen Yu is likely to fall into the opponent's bag and waste the opportunity.
Benitez understands that Chen Yu does not believe in Kuyt, and he is also dissatisfied with Kuyt's shooting ability, but football is a team sport, and even if you are dissatisfied, you must attack in the most advantageous way, not to achieve individual heroism.
"Chen Yu! Don't cut in! Keep going to the bottom! ā
"Chen Yu goes to the bottom!"
"Chen Yu passed back to the side!"
ā¦ā¦
Liverpool's assistant coaches and substitutes are also shouting, when they started shouting Chen Yu, Liverpool's midfielder Babel has not come up, at this moment Babel has come up, and now he has added to the side after Chen Yu left, the coaches feel that Chen Yu is slow to go down, it is better to pass back to Babbel, let Babel cross at the bottom, Chen Yu inserts into the middle to grab points, so that Liverpool's counterattack success rate is higher.
But this is just the "unrequited love" of Liverpool's coaches, Chen Yu is dribbling the ball at high speed, there are chasers behind him, and there are interceptions on his side, where does he have the energy to observe the running position of Babel behind him, not to mention that he has already made up his mind to cut inside, even if he sees it, he will not necessarily pass.
Chen Yu can only accelerate desperately, exert his speed to the limit, and only by throwing off everyone can he find a chance to score.
Manchester United's goalkeeper Van der Sar has been retreating before Chen Yu cut inside, he is afraid that Chen Yu will shoot the goal, this shameless Chinese has staged a hanging shot forty meters away, and Chen Yu's situation just now is to go down, Van der Sar only needs to retreat to his own penalty area, the task is completed, as for how Chen Yu passes, how Kuyt grabs points, this is the defender's business, he only cares about the shooter.
As soon as Chen Yu cut inside, Van der Sar didn't dare to retreat, he had to think about whether to attack and when to attack.
This is a difficult problem, the attack is easy to be hanged, and if you don't attack, you may not be able to stop your teammates.
Van der Sar hesitated for a moment in the penalty area, Chen Yu had already smashed the ball to avoid Ferdinand's flying tackle, and changed from a diagonal cut to a horizontal dribble five meters from the front of the penalty area.
Brown and Anderson in the back were still chasing wildly, and Vidic in the middle couldn't take care of Kuyt at this time, and he immediately rushed to Chen Yu to prevent him from entering the penalty area and facing goalkeeper Van der Sar directly.
Van der Sar was also nervous at this time, and at this moment his eyes began to look at Kuyt, and if Chen Yu passed the ball, he would definitely save at the first time, and save the ball at Kuyt's feet before he could control the ball.
However, Chen Yu still did not pass the ball, he continued to dribble horizontally, and when he was about to collide head-on with Vidic, Chen Yuren, who had been prepared, passed the ball and avoided Vidic.
"it!" Vidic almost vomited blood, he never thought that Chen Yu would use this trick, he subconsciously reached out to drag Chen Yu, but Chen Yu used the ball to avoid his foul, how could he be caught at this time.
Chen Yu shrunk his shoulders, avoided Vidic's pull, and ran quickly towards the ball.
Chen Yuren's ball passed Vidic, and he also looked at Kuyt, he was on Chen Yu's running line, but he didn't dodge, and standing there became an obstacle for Chen Yu.
The coaches who were still shouting Chen Yu's pass on the sidelines just now saw it clearly, and they were all angry, shouting at Kuyt, "Get out of the way!" Move! Kuyt, you idiot! ā
Kuyt hurriedly dodged to the side, but at this time, Chen Yu had already walked in an arc and ran past him like a gust of wind.
At the moment when Chen Yuren divided, Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar saw the danger and also saw the opportunity, he rushed out without thinking about it, he had to attack, he believed that this was Manchester United and his last chance, if Chen Yu got the ball again, he was not sure to block Chen Yu's shot.
Van der Sar's time to attack was very good, at least he had the opportunity to compete with Chen Yu for the ball, Chen Yu had no way, so many people defended him, he could only risk letting the ball out of his control, otherwise he would not be able to get rid of Vidic's foul.
Football is round, and this sentence shows that on the pitch, although strength is important, luck is often decisive.
Kuyt was stunned by Chen Yu just now, and he only got out of the way when the coaches shouted, but his run just blocked Van der Sar's attack line.
Van der Sar's eyes were only on the ball, and he almost hit Kuyt, and when he bypassed Kuyt, Chen Yu had already caught up with the ball before he grabbed Van der Sar.
Van der Sar was so angry that he couldn't wait to shoot Kuyt with a gun, but the current situation was too dangerous, and he didn't even have time to scold, so he quickly turned around and ran towards the penalty area to prevent Chen Yu from hanging the door.
Chen Yu was facing the goal sideways, but he knew that the opportunity must not be missed and would not come again, as long as he adjusted, there would be no chance to shoot the empty goal.
Chen Yu accelerated violently, about half a meter past the ball, and then half-turned around and shot the goal with his toes.
Chen Yu purely followed his feelings this time, but the well-honed archery finally played a role at this time, the ball went over the head of Vidic, who jumped up to clear the siege, avoided Van der Sar's fingers, and fell into the goal lightly.
