opening a balotelli

Chapter 143 Peak Lu Xiaopang

Sheffield United completely gave up the midfield transition, and Maguire or Drinkwater after the retreat directly opened his feet and looked for Li Mo in the frontcourt.

Although the efficiency is low, as long as one of the three kicks is successful, then Sheffield United can make a quick counterattack.

When Sheffield United faced those teams in the middle and lower reaches of the league before, the opponents would use this method to try to get offensive opportunities when there was no other way.

Now that Sheffield United has become a weaker side, they will naturally use this tactic, and what is different from those mid- and lower-level teams is that their team has a super-strength center forward who can compete for the top and get the ball , can also work alone.

So Manchester United's backcourt players began to have to disperse energy to deal with Li Mo.

Because Ferdinand is no longer the omnipotent super central defender of the past, in the first confrontation with Li Mo, he was knocked out of position by Li Mo, so he had to call his teammates to help him defend.

No matter how strong the players were, they are still unable to withstand the invasion of the years. Ferdinand is old. Sadly, Manchester United still can't find a defender who can take his place.

Ferguson squinted at the situation on the field. He really didn't expect Sheffield United, or Speed ​​would be so single. The core of the playmaker was restricted, so he just didn't transfer the ball from the midfield. Playing star tactics?

In the past, Manchester United also played similar tactics, especially a few years ago, at this stage from 06 to 08, when Manchester United still had Ronaldinho in the team, they couldn't open the situation and often relied on Ronaldinho's ability to kill on the side. , can tear apart the opponent's line of defense.

When there is such a star in the team, it is indeed easier to play, because it is necessary to choose a double-team tactic for gestures. Once double-teamed, there will be loopholes in the defense, and there will be loopholes that can be exploited. Ferguson's Red Devils are also there. In [-], once again dominated the Premier League and won a Champions League.

It's a pity that the children he cultivated carefully are going to chase dreams and more honors after all, otherwise Manchester United will only get more honors in the past few years.

Feeling sorry again in his heart, Ferguson quickly regained his composure.

Sheffield United chose to play star tactics, and they can only rely on one person to break the game. It is destined not to last. Manchester United has more stars, and Rooney is in good condition. Ferdinand may not be able to guard Li Mo, but Can Maguire stop Rooney?

There is no need for Ferguson to give any instructions. The Manchester United players on the field all have rich experience in Premier League games. Carrick's position is retreated and he is closer to Li Mo. He is tall enough to interfere with Li Mo without seeking to confront him. Just go to Li Mo's fight for the top.

In the frontcourt, Nani began to frequently take the ball and break through on the left.

Many Chinese fans may have heard the legend of Manchester United's dark four kings in the next few years, but in fact it is more of a joke.

At least for now, Nani is Manchester United's No. [-] killer on the wing.

After Ronaldinho left, Nani carried Manchester United's offense on the left side alone. In the last season, Nani reached his peak personal competitive level.

In the 10-11 season, Nani played 49 games for Manchester United, contributed 10 goals and 19 assists, helped Manchester United regain the Premier League title, and successfully reached the Champions League final.

Many Manchester United fans still miss the omnipotent Ronaldinho, so they always compare Nani with Ronaldo, so they are always picky and dissatisfied with Nani.

But in fact, after many years of Nani's departure, countless Manchester United fans will miss this diligent Portuguese magic wing who has made great contributions to Manchester United.

Don't ask, the question is that the Red Devils behind on the left side simply don't see it.

But now, Nani is at his peak, and the Red Devils' attack from the left is still flourishing.

Evra is in good form. Although his speed has dropped, he has more experience. He and Nani worked together and quickly exploded Sheffield United's right-sided defense.

Medel needs to sweep in the middle and interfere with Rooney's retreat to get the ball. Trippier and Drinkwater are the main defenders on the right, but one of them is not the main defender, and the other is too young to withstand Manchester United's left. The impact of two stars.

In other words, since being promoted to the Premier League, this is the first time Sheffield United's defense has been inspected by a well-known football star, and it has suffered a big loss.

Rooney also got into the penalty area of ​​Sheffield United at this time. Although he was not tall, Lu Xiaopang was very powerful, with a steady foot and avoided Maguire, making Matthew Lorton complain secretly.

Being able to send nearly 20 assists last season, Nani is not the Nabu pass that fans ridiculed. On the contrary, Nani's wide cross and bottom pass are very threatening.

In the first 10 minutes of the first half, Rooney accepted his pass many times and succeeded in shooting.

Fortunately, Ji Wenbao was not old enough to block Rooney's stab shot and hugged Rooney's goal shot. Otherwise, if Sheffield United were scored at this time, the game would be very difficult to play.

Manchester United's offensive is raging, and Sheffield United is not to be outdone.

It was decided before the game that they would fight against Manchester United. Although Drinkwater was restricted, but the tactics of finding Li Mo with a long pass and two flanks to attack, it was still a match against Manchester United. color.

Sheffield United does not pursue the success rate now, and the offense only highlights one word: fast!

In the limited attack time, try to use the shortest time to advance the football to Manchester United's half, and then try to send a pass to Li Mo, or let Li Mo attack with the ball himself.

Such a sharp counterattack made the Manchester United fans on the scene hooked.

It's really cool to just watch Manchester United attacking their opponents, but it's far from exciting to see the two teams attacking each other on the field.

Manchester United fans also understand why there are so many media praises for Sheffield United.

This team is indeed strong!
Although the defenders were very embarrassed, at least they haven't allowed Manchester United to score yet. Even Trippier, who was blown off, chose to quickly chase after being passed by many times. He was full of fighting spirit and was not discouraged at all. .

Maguire's frontal defense and header defense ability are even more impressive.

And he is!

Like Li Mo in the frontcourt, after watching Maguire's performance on the field, Manchester United fans have only one comment on him: he has a bright future.

In addition to the performance on the defensive end, Sheffield United's performance on the offensive end is also very impressive.

Sheffield United's wing attack started quickly. The rapid advancement of Matridge, Bertrand and Trippier made Manchester United fans feel very dangerous several times.

It's just that Vardy doesn't get any opportunities now, so Manchester United fans can't see the level.

Naturally, Li Mo didn't need to say more. To hold the ball alone, two Manchester United backcourt players needed to defend, which made Ferdinand have to shake people. This performance can't be overstated.

Besides, how many teams dare to play against Manchester United at Old Trafford now?
Sheffield United made such a choice because it was hard enough, at least worthy of Manchester United's respect, and the best way to respect the enemy is naturally to beat him with all his strength.

Park Ji-sung is also a player who plays old games. Although the main task is to interfere with Drinkwater and pull the opponent into stealth, he will also participate in the offense when given the opportunity.

In the No.208 minute of the first half, Evra and Nani suddenly switched positions. After getting the ball, Evra pushed along the sideline and knocked the ball back to Nani before Trippier interfered. In the big foot pass, Anderson on the right has already plugged in at high speed at this moment.

After receiving a cross from Nani that almost crossed 40 meters, Anderson knocked the ball back to the middle again.

The change caught Sheffield United's defense by surprise.

Park Ji-sung had been honestly staying by Drinkwater's side before, but at this moment, when he suddenly stepped in, there was no one around him to interfere, and he easily dribbled the ball to the top of Sheffield United's big penalty area.

Matthew Lorton quickly explained to Maguire, and then rushed to intercept, and Park Ji-sung was waiting for this moment, and without hesitation passed the ball across to Rooney who was pulled to the edge of the penalty area!

Rooney turned around after receiving the ball, and Trippier was in place at this time. Seeing Rooney's ball and lifting his foot, Trippier hurriedly went to the ground to block Rooney's shot.

But Rooney suddenly smashed the ball, and then slammed the ball to the left side of the penalty area. Unguarded Nani met the ball and shot it directly into the far corner. Shay was also shaken by Rooney. It was difficult to make a quick save after losing his position. , can only watch helplessly as the football spins and hits the net behind him!

Nearly three and 10 minutes into the game, Manchester United finally broke Sheffield United's goal!

Rooney, with just a feint, tricked Sheffield United's defender and goalkeeper, and assisted Nani to break the deadlock of the game!

The fans at Old Trafford gave out loud cheers and celebrations. Li Mo stood in the frontcourt and watched the scene, but he didn't complain, and he didn't put his hands on his hips.

He clapped his hands vigorously, cheering up his teammates.

They had expected the conceded goals before the game. It’s nothing. Manchester United is not comparable to the mid-lower teams they played against before. Chelsea, which they once won, is also in turmoil. Manchester United is the team they faced. China's first top football team.

Losing the ball is not terrible, just stand up and go back. Li Mo's loud shout made the players of Sheffield United look at him.

"Don't panic! Let's pay them back one ball! Come on, come on! The game is still long, brothers, let's go back together!"

Complaining is the stupidest way, and Li Mo doesn't like complaining either. His actions slowed down his teammates, and they all renewed their fighting spirit.

Since they chose to play confrontation instead of retreating, it is normal to be scored, and just return it. They are "blades", and counterattacks are also what they are good at!
Rooney was originally celebrating with Nani, but when he saw Li Mo encouraging his teammates, he couldn't help but stop celebrating.

After a while, he suddenly laughed.

"Maybe I underestimated you before, good boy, you have kindness!"

Rooney has always appreciated this kind of tough player who can withstand pressure, or in other words, as long as players who have been at Manchester United for a long time, they all like players with this kind of mentality.

The pride in Rooney's heart also surged up.

The opponent is very promising, he admits, but there can only be one winner in this game, and that is the Red Devils Manchester United, and it is him Wayne Rooney!

This season is destined to belong to him Rooney's season, everything he lost in the past, golden boots, Champions League, attention, he will get it all back!

There are still many stumbling blocks on the way forward, but Sheffield United is not yet qualified.

This three points, he wants to decide!
