Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 254 Ronaldinho’s unbridled goal!

"Good evening, viewers!"

"The fourth round of the FA Cup is live for you now!"

"Arsenal plays against Manchester United at home. The starting lineups of the two teams are as follows!"

"Emery sent out the 4-4-2 diamond midfielder with the highest usage rate, but there were many substitute players in the lineup."

"Because Arsenal has been plagued by injuries recently, Holding, Bellerin, Welbeck, Mkhitaryan and others have all put up a truce card."

"How do you say that?"

"There are three major signs that spring is coming: rising temperatures, longer days and Arsenal falling out of contention."

"Looking at Arsenal's data from the past five seasons, they often stretched their hips from January to April, and even went without a win in nine games of each season."

"Hopefully they can perform well today."

Zhan Jun joked a few words and then continued the introduction.

What is interesting is that the team with the second most FA Cup titles is Manchester United. They have tied Arsenal's record of entering the FA Cup finals (21 times) and have won 12 FA Cup titles.

Manchester United has lost a total of 9 finals and only finished second in the past 4 finals. This makes Manchester United fans very unhappy!
They have been looking forward to tying or even breaking Arsenal's record and becoming the winner of the most "Thermos Cups" since many years ago.

Mahrez quickly jumped on Chu Feng's back and waved to the fans who came from afar!
"Chu, you understand me better than Romero!" Mahrez shouted excitedly, "We are a perfect match!"

Not only have they won the FA Cup 13 times, but they are also tied with Tottenham for their unbeaten record in finals.

"Okay, the referee's whistle sounds and the game officially begins!"

The FA Cup is the oldest competition in England and has always been Arsenal's strongest area.

That’s stability!
He suddenly stopped to shake off the chasing Niles, and aimed at Chu Feng's path, pushing hard on the middle of the football with his right foot!

Even if Arsenal fans have confidence in their defense, has Chu Feng created too few miracles?
"leak!"

Manchester United's attack does not go through the middle, but uses width to spread out from the wings.

For example, the Europa League and the FA Cup, etc.

Luke Shaw and Matic continued to hit the wall in the ribs, causing Niles, who was inexperienced in the game, to lose his position.

Chu Feng quickly moved forward and followed up along the middle, attracting the attention of three defensive players.

Next to him, Koscielny also quickly blocked the far corner, and in the middle was Petr Cech, who was wearing a tank hat and waiting closely. It can be said that Arsenal's goal was so impregnable that not even a fly could fly in.

"I think it was in the last two games that Kanter conquered the head coach with his strength."

boom! ! !
The football rolled against the turf at high speed and was hit by Mahrez's left foot. It drew a precise arc and grazed the left goal post before drilling into the goal!
The Emirates Stadium was boiling and became noisy.

Emery frowned tightly on the sidelines, always paying attention to the movements of Manchester United's No. 7. A few days before the start of this game, he laid out targeted tactics.

A look of despair flashed across Lukaku's face on the bench.

only.
Of those 13 FA Cup titles, a full 7 were won by Wenger.

So he could only remind his teammates loudly.

Although Luke Shaw's speed is not as fast as before, he has also developed other abilities.

Unfortunately it never came to fruition.

Wenger also became the most decorated manager in this competition and the only Arsenal coach to win this competition multiple times.

Even before Mahrez gave a warning, he had already faked a shot and leaked the ball to the right side of the penalty area!

Everyone in the audience held their breath nervously.

Emery did achieve his tactical intention, but the problem was that Chu Feng quickly switched his position from a breakthrough center to a fulcrum center.

Pull your opponents away while creating space for your teammates!
Chu Feng has reviewed so many games and has sufficient practical experience in how to move to make the opponent most uncomfortable.

"Cross from the ground!"

For Arsenal, victory is a must today because they are now out of the title race and can only pin their hopes on domestic and foreign cup competitions.

But therein lies the problem.

"Let's take a look at Manchester United's starting lineup. Mourinho still uses 4-3-1-2, and has Kante as the starting midfielder."

Therefore, for both teams today, this is a game that cannot be lost.

Xhaka desperately chased back, but the explosion in the first few steps was really not as good as Chu Feng.

Therefore, in those years when he missed the league championship, as long as the sound of dismissal was heard inside and outside the team, Wenger could always win the FA Cup to extend his life.
As a result, the FA Cup is also nicknamed the "Thermos Cup" by fans.

That is to let Xhaka retreat to mark Chu Feng, plus the help of two central defenders.

When you are heavily guarded, the best way to deal with it is to move.

Hearing this, Papastathopoulos no longer hesitated and rushed forward to block the shot from the near corner!

Can three people still be unable to defend themselves?

Chu Feng observed the position of his teammates before running.

"Don't let him touch the ball!"

Where no Arsenal player noticed, Mahrez quietly emerged like a ghost.

Obviously the two were a tacit understanding partner last season and made the classic Musketeers celebration, but now they can only sit on the bench.

Sometimes, a small thing can break down a person's psychological defenses.

Lukaku decided to transfer next season to find a team that truly suits him.

"Don't say that in front of Lukaku."

Chu Feng said seriously.

You must know that in order to maintain the stability of the locker room, he not only has to mediate the relationship between players and coaches, but also pays attention to the mentality of individual players.

It can be said that a lot of energy was put into it.

It's best to keep it going forever and don't let anything happen again.

"Don't worry, you still don't know what kind of person I am?"

Mahrez nodded repeatedly.

He would just complain about it on a whim, and he would definitely not tell anyone else.

After all, his emotional intelligence is much higher than Martial.

I think that when he was already twenty years old, he participated in the training of the French fourth-level team Quimper, but the team director told him that he could not sign.

If it hadn't been for better luck later, he would not be able to stand in the Premier League now.

It was this tortuous experience that gave him a "little understanding" of the ways of the world.

By the way, his roommate was Pogba's brother at the time, and the relationship between the two could be said to be that of brothers.

Why hasn't Pogba caused any trouble recently?
Because there are too many people on the team that he is familiar with.

Soon the game restarted. Due to Mkhitaryan's absence, Arsenal's frontcourt organization was close to non-existent, and they could only pass through frequent side separations and inverted triangle crosses.

But Manchester United showed their strong defensive level.

Kanter frantically swept the large area in front of the penalty area, and Maguire partnered with Bailey on the back line. Although there were occasional mistakes, they were basically harmless.

Moreover, De Gea will be there to check and fill in the gaps later.

Although De Gea is not as good as Onana in terms of playing the ball, his goal-line skills are definitely more than one level better.

Recently, he was nicknamed by Zhan Jun: "He Ya sits on the lotus!"

Manchester United, which defended steadily in the backcourt, in the 34th minute of the game, Herrera and Kanter completed the defense and stole the football from Ramsey's feet.

Without giving Ramsey and Iwobi a chance to counterattack, Kanter directly started and made a long pass.

In the past half season under Sarri, Kanter has learned more or less offensive methods, especially the timing of passing and route selection.

The football rolled accurately to Pogba's feet. Xhaka and Pogba faced off head-to-head, attracting the attention of all the fans.

The former has been criticized quite a lot by Arsenal fans recently.

As for the reason?

His reckless actions and fiery temper became the target of severe punishment by the referee. Not only did he receive too many red and yellow cards for himself, but he also often put the team into trouble.

Sometimes the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. This sentence is suitable for Xhaka.

The reckless steal was taken advantage of by Pogba. With a slight shake, he got out of the way and passed the ball to the top of the arc in the penalty area, which was the gap left by Xhaka's forward pressure.

Amid the cheers of Manchester United fans, Chu Feng ran back in an arc to catch the ball.

The right leg steps forward and feints, and at the same time the center of gravity swings sideways!
Papastathopoulos didn't dare to take the lead, for fear of being deceived by Chu Feng's fake moves, so he chose to remain unchanged in response to all changes.

But Chu Feng had an idea and thrust out with all his strength with his right foot drawn in.

"Bang!" The football flew to the right side of the goal.

No one expected Chu Feng to shoot, including the 36-year-old Cech. He could only look at the football helplessly and make a symbolic save.

0-2! ! !

Manchester United fans at the Emirates Stadium witnessed the dramatic scene and shouted Chu Feng's name one after another.

This player from Manchester United's youth training brought them too many surprises.

For example, this fantastic goal.

Chu Feng celebrated enthusiastically in front of the cheers that filled the sky. He just thought of Ronaldinho, so he had the mentality to give it a try.

The result is really satisfying!

After scoring two goals, Manchester United entered a defensive state, not wanting to waste too much physical energy and energy in the game against Arsenal.

After all, they have the second leg of the English League Cup semi-finals on the 27th, and they need to score at least two goals to drag the game to penalty kicks.

Because the EFL Cup does not have overtime, if the two teams have the same score in the two rounds, the winner will be decided directly through a penalty shootout.

Manchester United's paper strength is significantly higher than Chelsea's.

Mourinho certainly doesn't want to take penalties, so they must go all out to end the game in regular time.

That means scoring three goals.

If Chelsea continues the tradition of setting up a bus, it will definitely be difficult for Manchester United to overtake.

Mourinho rubbed his temples and returned his attention to the green field.

Although Manchester United is based on defense, they have not fallen behind in attack, advancing from the wing, through the middle, and passing long balls.
Various counterattack routines are used in turn.

After a recent period of running-in, Manchester United players have gradually adapted to 4312 and formed a good understanding with Kanter.

Unfortunately, Chu Feng was not very lucky. His long shot in stoppage time in the first half hit Cech's arm, hit the lower end of the crossbar, and bounced vertically onto the baseline.

Cech fished the ball out in shock and was cleared by Koscielny.

Manchester United players did not surround the head coach to ask for an explanation. After all, we are now in the age of technology, and there is a goal line system with an error of millimeters.

In the end, the referee crossed his hands to indicate that no goal was scored.

Chu Feng could only shrug helplessly. If the ball had rebounded at a deeper angle, Manchester United could basically seal the victory in advance.

Manchester United returned to the dressing room with a two-goal advantage.

Mourinho simply reviewed the situation and did not make many tactical adjustments.

After the start of the second half, Emery took the lead in making substitutions, replacing Iwobi with Deadeye.

He really had no choice.

Mkhitaryan was injured and absent, and no one could organize the frontcourt, so he could only act as a living doctor.

But life has not been easy for Dead Fish Eye recently.

He only played 14 times this season, scoring 4 goals and 2 assists, and missed almost half of the games.

The main reason is that Emery's tactical system requires the attacking midfielder to press, press and run more.

But Dead Fisheye is used to investing more energy in the offensive phase, so he inevitably lost Emery's trust.

This is not over yet
In the just-concluded World Cup in Russia, Germany's performance was extremely poor, ranking last with a total of 3 points in the group stage.

The dead fish eyes have become the target of criticism from German fans.

It is precisely because of his extremely poor condition that he occupied the starting lineup, which dragged down the overall offensive rhythm of the German team.

And Cross's position is too far back, lacking effective organization throughout the field.

After playing the game, Dead Fish Eyes changed from his normal state and actively ran and participated in defense. After being hidden for such a long time, he felt a little panicked in his heart.

So I want to use this game to prove myself and regain Emery's favor.

However, his technical level has already declined seriously, and he cannot maintain his condition without playing games for a long time, which has directly become Arsenal's offensive black hole.

In the 65th minute of the game, Dead Fish Eyes received a pass from his teammate and wanted to use a little trick to turn around.

Unexpectedly, Kanter fiercely grabbed the ball and knocked him over with Matic.

Matic looked up after stealing the ball, and then decisively made a long diagonal pass, aiming directly at the polo king on the right!

Mahrez stopped the ball with his chest and picked it up, passing Kolasinac.

"Chu!"

As his voice sounded, the football quickly rolled towards the center.

Chu Feng swung his heels lightly, passed the ball to Pogba on the left, and then suddenly started to speed forward!
He believes that Pogba understands what he means, which is to make time difference and space difference!
Sure enough, Pogba kept hitting the ball.

Koscielny was worried that Chu Feng would repeat his old tricks, so he quickly stepped forward and stretched his legs to intercept, but Chu Feng fell down inexplicably.

He quickly raised his hands to show that he had not committed a foul!

Referee Craig Pawson ignored it and raised one arm diagonally forward, pointing to the penalty spot.

The hearts of Arsenal fans suddenly went cold.

However, it was not over yet. He also took out the red card from his trouser pocket and showed it to Xhaka who bowed his head and remained silent.

He had a clear view from behind just now.

After being beaten one-on-one, Xhaka quickly chased back and deliberately pushed Chu Feng.

Xhaka did not refute or explain, and left the stadium gloomily. Immediately afterwards, the fans in the audience booed and criticized him.

The Swiss, who was already in a bad mood, exploded and put his hands to his ears to signal the fans to be louder.

When have Arsenal fans ever felt this wronged?
Even Wenger didn't dare to confront them, so he broke out with more intense abuse.

Xhaka ignored the then head coach Emery, angrily took off his jersey and walked into the dim tunnel.

Chu Feng stood in front of the penalty spot and took a deep breath.

In fact, although Xhaka used a lot of force just now, he could withstand it with his physical fitness, but his movement when touching the ball would definitely deform, and he would be intercepted by the defensive player.

So it's better to be Lin Daiyu, a restricted area.

Beep! ! !
After the piercing whistle sounded, Chu Feng abandoned his distracting thoughts, took a running start, swung his arm, hit the goal, and whipped the ball to the right side of the goal!
But Cech pounced in the opposite direction.

There is no suspense at this point in this game. Liverpool had united as one to create the miracle in Istanbul.

But Arsenal's morale is currently unstable, so it's good to be able to maintain the score.

In the end, Manchester United won 3-0 Arsenal and won a big victory, advancing to the top of the FA Cup!
Manchester United players left the Emirates Stadium in a happy mood.

They have only two games left in January, the second round of the EFL Cup against Chelsea on the 27th, and the 30th round of the Premier League against Burnley on the 24th.

Manchester United's schedule will be much easier next, basically only five to six games per month.
