Chapter 504: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts

Home team dressing room.

"Beckham and Veron are huge trouble!"

"We have to find a way to deal with them."

Trigra is discussing tactics with Dunkai.

Marksa was communicating with the players about the emotional stuff.

Today, the performance of the two players with the word Bei in their names at Manchester United can be called "super double"!

'Manchester United know our ability to chase the points and they couldn't go on in the second half. Deng Kai analyzed, "Ferguson will ask Veron and Scholes to put more into defense."

"Beckham and Ryan Giggs will also be relatively retraced."

"In this way, Veron's pass completely lost the space to play."

"So there's only one real problem, and that's Beckham."

"Becky is invincible in crosses, but his dribbling skills are simple, and he lacks the ability to pass one-on-one, so it is difficult to exert his power when there is kraft candy sticking to him."

Deng Kai said this, and Trigra also understood: "Evra, you go out to warm up, and you go straight to the court in the second half."

"Pep Guardiola, you're going to have to rest for a while."

Pep Guardiola nodded, understanding and supportive.

He accepted to be replaced.

Because from the point of limiting Beckham, Evra is much more suitable than him.

Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

The match between Manchester United and Sporting Lisbon continues to begin.

Everyone has taken note of Sporting Lisbon's substitutions.

"Patrice Evra was brought in from the lower divisions of France by Sporting Lisbon this season, this player does not have a lot of talent, so far at Sporting Lisbon it has been more of a jack-of-all-trades substitute."

"Letting him replace the midfielder Pep Guardiola may be hoping to use his running ability and speed to limit Beckham."

"But from Manchester United's position, Beckham won't be too far up in the second half. Sporting Lisbon's adjustment to Beckham is likely to fall through."

Forty-ninth minute.

Evra's role is still underestimated.

Admittedly, Patrice Evra's defence was not strong, but his mad dog runs caused United considerable problems.

Especially when Veron can't connect directly with the frontcourt players.

Manchester United is not allowed to launch a long pass directly from the back to find the center forward when they have the initiative.

They play mainly from the wings, and are more accustomed to playing through the wings of Ryan Giggs and David Beckham.

In the first half, Manchester United's attacking routine was basically Veron looking for Ryan Giggs and Beckham on the left and right sides of the front.

The latter two create opportunities for the strikers.

But when Ryan Giggs and David Beckham are both at the back, Veron will have to wait for them to run if he wants to pass the ball to them.

[In view of the general environment,

This time does not seem to be long, one, two, three seconds.

But it was these two or three seconds that made it much more difficult for Veron to hold the ball.

Drip!

The referee blew the whistle, pointed to Veron, and showed a yellow card.

Veron was waiting for Beckham to run for a tackle from Patrice Evra.

The ball was dangerous in this position, and Veron immediately fouled Evra and brought him down.

Fifty minutes and eight minutes.

Mateus, Patrice Evra and Deng Kai surrounded Veron.

Veron's pass to Scholes was intercepted by Patrice Evra.

Patrice Evra passes the ball to Dunkai.

Deng Kai made a quick pass and gave the football to the front.

Didier Drogba slammed into the box, but the ball was cleared by a quick-paced Butters and punched out of the box.

Sporting Lisbon threatened a couple of times in a row.

Let Manchester United

The players got nervous.

Sixty minutes.

Deng Kai kicked back to find McConn, and at the same time pointed forward, signaling McConn to find a way to step forward.

McConn passes the ball to the returning Mateus and initiates a forward cut.

Mate Uss crosses Dunkai.

Deng Kai picked up a pass past Veron and gave the ball to the feet of Xiao Luo on the right.

Ronaldo feints to the right and can't shake Phil away, but the next moment he knocks the ball to the left.

McConn, who played as a cameo centre-back, flew straight to the right rib position.

Bang!

Phil turned around with a tackle, brought McCone down and completed a one-two-two at the cost of a yellow card.

Sporting Lisbon won a free-kick from a wide position.

But McCone fell to the ground, clutching his ankles.

"McHole's plug is beautiful!"

"Foul! Phil Neville gets a yellow card."

"Oh! McConn seemed to be injured. It's bad news, he's just found a way to help the team and he's very threatening."

"We can see Wu Xudong warming up."

"Sporting Lisbon is going to make a substitution. The domestic fans should be a little excited at this time, although I am sorry to say this, but Wu Xudong is about to become the first player in China to play in the semi-finals of the Champions League."

"This is a historic moment!"

"Okay! Sporting Lisbon substitution, Wu Xudong replaced the injured McConn, wait, Yin Bu is also going to play, is it so early?"

"Not Drogba! Yin Bu was not replaced by Drogba, Mateus was gone, and Sporting Lisbon was ...... Did you switch to 442?"

He Wei frowned: "It seems that Sporting Lisbon has disarmed and surrendered. Yin Bu and Drogba are double center forwards, and Ronaldo, Kaka, Deng Kai, and Xiao Luo are parallel midfielders. Patrice Evra, Fonte, Nemanja Vidic and Wu Xudong in the back four."

'It's a safe choice, they don't want to let Manchester United score any more. I think they made the right decision, and since there's no chance of winning, let's not lose too ugly."

"Otherwise, the flaws of the players will be exposed one by one, and the value will be greatly reduced."

As soon as He Wei finished speaking, Sporting Lisbon made a direct attempt by Deng Kai to hit the goal with a free kick.

But the distance was really too far, the football did not hold down and flew up to the stands.

Sporting Lisbon's next retreat is indeed a 442.

He Weichun looked at Huang Jianxiang proudly.

Meaning, look at me, no!

Huang Jianxiang shook his head.

Naive.

You don't know anything about Sporting Lisbon!

Defend?

This team never defends when they are behind.

On the field, the tempo of both sides was relatively slow.

Sporting Lisbon used a big circle tactic to keep possession for a long time, but neither side could find a chance on the left and right, and it was a touch away.

Seventy-seventh minute.

Xiao Luo passed back to Deng Kai, Deng Kai passed to Evra, Evra passed to Font, and Font passed to Deng Kai.

Bang!

Deng Kai suddenly fired!

The big foot was given to the right side of the pitch.

But the strange thing is that Xiao Luo has been detouring in the midfield position after the return pass, and this ball ...... To whom?

Five seconds later, Ronaldo?

"Wu Xudong! Wu Xudong and Xiao Luo are staggered! He's up to speed!"

"It's so fast, Sporting Lisbon's substitute right-back Wu Xudong is too fast!"

"Ronaldo completely interfered with Ryan Giggs and Scholes, and he created space for Wu Xudong to catch the ball."
