Section 647 Manchester United's counterattack
“gooooal!!!!!! Luis Garcia!!!! He scored his first goal for Liverpool and just three minutes into the game he scored at Old Trafford! ”
Garcia was running with excitement and it couldn't have been more perfect to be able to score on the turf of his sworn enemy! He couldn't compete for a place in the national team and was suppressed by Figo in the club, but he is still proving in his way that he is still an extremely important member of the team and that he can still make a great contribution to the team!
"Liverpool scored a goal first, and Zhao Yaning drew the attention of the opposition perfectly on the edge of the box before passing a beautiful assist. He was too much of a deterrent to Manchester United, causing the United players to make mistakes and concede goals. Conceding such an opening goal made United's problems worse. Falling behind at home is not a very good phenomenon, not to mention, falling behind at home to Liverpool, Manchester United must be quite anxious. ”
The judgement made by the commentator clearly did not change Ferguson's mood. He called Gary Neville to his side and said a few words, then motioned for him to play again.
Neville's opposite is Zhao Yaning, and what Ferguson obviously made is also how to guard Zhao Yaning's arrangement. In Ferguson's view, in terms of the team's tactics, Manchester United is not lagging behind, and what they really need to guard against is Zhao Yaning's play.
Sir Alex Ferguson focused on Zhao Yaning...... This kind of thing is quite normal, and we all remember how Zhao Yaning helped Liverpool win the title at the end of last season. Five goals in five games, one goal at a time, protected Liverpool to the championship. He's the kind of player who can rely on a chance to decide the winner, and Sir Alex Alex Ferguson rightly values him. ”
"But he didn't play as well at the beginning of the season as he did at the end of last season."
"The first thing that any good playmaker thinks about when they are playing is how to get their teammates to perform at a great level. Liverpool has made some changes this season, the team is not as good as last season, as the organizer, Zhao Yaning to direct the team's attack and defense, it is not wrong to mobilize the strength of his teammates, if he keeps standing up at any time, it may not be a good thing for the team. No one can guarantee that your body will always be in the best state, your mind will always be in the best state, and you will always be inspired and your ability will not decline. Then, when a player is unable to step up, he has to rely on the help of his teammates to play the ball. If you don't care about the state of your teammates, just care about being safe, and almost everything is done by yourself, then when you can't stand up because of an accident, and your teammates are not able to stand up, it's the team's trouble. ”
Lineker's style of play against Zhao Yaning is obviously very respected. As a frontcourt player, one of the most important questions is when to shoot and when to pass. Not to mention the striker, even if it is a striker, the kind of striker who can only score goals and will not do other work is also criticized, football is a team sport, and in team sports, cooperation is the most important.
Zhao Yaning already understands this very well, but obviously, Xiao Xiaoluo still has some ...... It can't be said that he doesn't understand, he must understand such a simple truth, and with his ball quotient, he must understand it more thoroughly than many people. However, he has too strong a tendency to personal heroism, but he always gets into trouble. Although he knows that there are some opportunities that should be more suitable for passing, he always likes to fight against the enemy himself.
At this time, he just made another mistake. After getting the ball, he ignored Saha, who was better in the middle, and instead accelerated towards Rieser on the right side.
Reese has never been afraid of such a confrontation, and he also stuck in his position and watched Xiao Xiao Luo rush over. The two collided together, but Xiao Xiaoluo kicked the ball to Rooney in time at the moment of collision, and then he immediately got up and ran forward while reaching for Rooney to ask for the ball.
Rooney kicked the ball back, and when Ronaldo got the ball, he immediately cut in to the middle. And just when Vidic came up, he shot the goal and blasted the ball straight out!
His position is not good, such a shot, obviously not too threatening, the ball is high above the crossbar, which also makes Xiao Xiaoluo clench his fist hatefully and retreat.
"The opportunity just now, if Zhao Yaning is given, he will either break through the penalty area, or cooperate with his teammates to break through - Zhao Yaning is not so greedy for shooting opportunities, this is the biggest difference between the two people. Zhao Yaning is more of a team, while Cristiano needs to improve in this area. Lineker made a brief comment.
The tempo of the game quickly shifted in favour of Manchester United. After all, it is a home game, and since this season, with Carrick as a midfielder to receive the ball, pass the ball, and start to share the pressure for Giggs, Giggs has played a lot better. Moreover, when Manchester United faced Liverpool, their tackles, interceptions, and runs were much faster than usual, such an invisible change made Manchester United quickly take the advantage, and on the Liverpool side, Mascherano and Alonso were not skilled enough to cooperate The problem was also reflected, but fortunately, both of them were smart enough, and when they saw that the momentum was not good, they took the initiative to take a few steps back, relying on a closer connection with the back line, and defended Manchester United's attack.
However, United are clearly not content to be scoreless. Soon, after a Giggs break was disrupted by McCaone, United were given a chance to shoot from a free-kick.
And the person who took the penalty was of course Xiao Xiaoluo. This season, he is already United's main penalty taker. His free-kick skills have indeed improved a lot in this summer.
He was in front of the ball, legs spread apart, and he stood like a compass. And after the referee's whistle, he kicked a free-kick. The football flew out like a cannonball, and the erratic route was clearly above the goal and flew directly into the audience.
In a sigh, Zhao Yaning felt that the penalty was still good.
Xiao Xiaoluo's free kick is obviously also the path of a fallen leaf ball. Although the standing posture is different, and he uses more force when he plays, Zhao Yaning himself is also an expert in free kicks, and he can of course see that Xiao Xiaoluo's free kick power skills are falling leaves.
It's just that his calves are more explosive and powerful, which also makes his free kicks faster and more powerful than others. Of course, the accuracy is also slightly worse. It's not impossible to play like this, but the problem is that the most important thing about free kicks, especially falling leaves, is accuracy and consistency, not speed. The falling ball itself is the most difficult ball to catch, if it is not a professional goalkeeper, it is generally difficult to catch even the ball that is hanging well, let alone the ball with a strange arc like a fallen leaf ball? Speed is not very important for the deciduous ball, the most important thing is the accuracy and stability. Juninho's fallen ball is a good kick, and he is actually remarkable, which is that his free throws are more consistent.
However, Xiao Xiaoluo's style of play is difficult to be stable. He relies on the power of the free throw, the speed to make up for the lack of accuracy when shooting, the speed of the football is fast, the more difficult it is to save, naturally the success rate is high, even if the angle is slightly worse, it can also be a good goal. In a short period of time, the results of this are of course faster than grinding his skills, but doing so is tantamount to giving up the free kick assist and creating other effects of the own goal, although this makes him a free kick master quickly, it is also quite problematic.
However, one person, one method - although Zhao Yaning feels that his idea is more correct, it is undeniable that Xiao Xiaoluo is also very smart. Perhaps, he has his own ideas and can kick a better ball?
This guy has a good brain, and Zhao Yaning also hopes to see what he can research by himself.
The game lasted until the end of the first half, and neither side did much to achieve enough. At the start of the second half, Saha was replaced, replaced by Manchester United veteran Paul Scholes.
Paul Scholes didn't play much last season due to an eye problem, and further on, his style has been played very little because of the difficulty of transitioning. This season, he regained his rotation position, and the transition period seems to be over, and Zhao Yaning also wants to know what kind of player he has become.
And soon, Zhao Yaning was shocked into a cold sweat: not long after Scholes came on the field, a long pass to the front court after getting the ball in the backfield directly helped Rooney play in an anti-offside position. If Reyna hadn't reacted and stopped the ball, the ball would have gone in.
This surprised Zhao Yaning, and in his memory, it was not Scholes's or even all England players' style of play to launch a pass in time in the midfield pass.
And after playing for a while, Zhao Yaning also had to feel admired: when Scholes played, he had lost his early England striker-like style of play, and began to look more and more like a midfielder on the European continent. Catching, controlling, combing, guiding, Zhao Yaning believes that he is not a Premier League player, but a representative of continental football, and someone believes in you.
How much has Manchester United suffered over the years if it wants to transform into a continental style? If a team's tactics are still like this, how difficult should it be for players to transform? And Scholes has quietly and successfully transformed into a European-style style of play, and he has a well-founded approach to advance and retreat, and he has a bit of a master's demeanor, which makes people have to say that people can't be deceitful. This is indeed a great master, at least, Zhao Yaning thinks that Frank Lampard, who is now close to his early style, may not be able to turn into a successful one in the future.
And Manchester United, after expanding the advantage of the midfield, also began to slowly press the midfield line, and this time, Xiao Xiaoluo also saw something, he was no longer in a hurry to ask for the ball, but on the side, constantly doing running. Clearly, he was waiting for his chance, waiting for an opportunity to kill his opponent.
And he didn't have to wait long for such an opportunity.
Soon, after receiving the ball again, he slid it to the side. Reese stopped him, but Xiao Xiao Luo made a few bicycle movements in a row, so that Reese didn't dare to step out resolutely.
But what's the use of such an action? Everyone knows that pedaling a bicycle in place is a fool of people. However, at this time, Reese suddenly thought of something and raised his head, and sure enough, Rooney had already run behind him.
Xiao Xiao Luo kicked the ball out and ran away on his own. Rooney took the ball, turned, and relied on his brute force to squeeze Riser to prevent him from making a tackle, and then ran forward. By this time, Vidic had already run over, faced the pinched Rooney, and passed the ball back to the middle.
Scholes made a precise through ball and sent the ball back to Ronaldo, who had run down the middle. With a smile on his face, Ronaldo accelerated to the backline, but Vidic didn't have time to get back into his defense, he changed direction and passed Carragher, and then, with a left-footed shot, kicked the ball towards the goal!
“gooooal!!! Cristiano Ronaldo!! Manchester United equalised!! (Starter:)
