Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 266: The English League Cup final, Gua Tu’s revenge battle and Chu Feng’s exciting skills!
In the current Premier League environment, defeating Arsenal is not something to be proud of. Chu Feng just played an ordinary game and turned his attention to the EFL Cup final a few days later. .

"Recently, both weak and strong teams are using the 'iron barrel formation' to deal with Manchester City."

Looking at the picture on the screen, Chu Feng murmured to himself.

Because after recent seasons, the whole world has learned about Guardiola.

Even though the Spaniard has changed his past habits, he still likes to use about 20 minutes of passing and controlling to test the opponent and allow his own players to get into the state.

But the problem is that after entering 2019, Manchester City gradually lost its ability to "speed up".

"Speed-up" does not entirely refer to fast speed, but to rapid changes in rhythm, which is the most important thing on the offensive end of football.

As for the reason?
De Bruyne is often injured and has become a "glass man", and David Silva is not the "space magician" he used to be. Occasionally created scoring opportunities are always spat out by Sterling.

"If nothing else happens, the boss should do the same and rely on defense to survive Manchester City's strong period."

Chu Feng wrote the summary in his notebook.

And his position can also be changed to seize Manchester City's weakest point as a whole - Zinchenko on the left!

After the start of the second half of the Premier League season, Manchester City's main left back Mendy suffered a serious injury and may even miss all subsequent games.

Delph also played as a left back for a period of time, but his offensive ability was almost zero, and his defensive end was also beaten by various speedy wingers.

For example, in the league match between Manchester City and Manchester United, Delph was almost cut into pieces by Chu Feng.

Therefore, youth training youngster Zinchenko has become Guardiola's first choice.

"I heard Maria say a few days ago that this kid is very popular with Guardiola recently." Chu Feng opened Zinchenko's personal information, which was collected by the Manchester United coaching staff.

In the 22 games they played, Manchester City won all!
Hey, he is really Guardiola's lucky general. A playful smile appeared on Chu Feng's face, wanting to give his future father-in-law a surprise.

But you have to discuss it with the boss first to ensure the rationality of the overall tactics.

On February 2019, 2, the EFL Cup final is about to begin.

Chu Feng and his teammates came to Wembley Stadium again, looking at the magnificent and tall buildings outside and listening to the shouts of the fanatical Manchester United fans on the roadside.

He knew he was in good shape before the game even started.

Because the whole person's emotions have been aroused, there is a hot and exciting feeling all over the body, as if every cell is stimulated by electric current and trembles.

Chu Feng had goosebumps all over his body. He said loudly to his teammates: "Brothers, the first championship in 2019 starts with the English League Cup!"

"Fuck Manchester City!"

"Long live Manchester United!"

Maguire screamed strangely, and he was very excited to see it.

"Although Manchester City has been in a slight decline recently, they have not lost a game in the league. It is best for everyone to stay vigilant!" Valencia's tone was full of seriousness, and the expression on his face was also very serious.

He hopes that in his final season at Manchester United, he can lead the boys to continue chasing honors and leave good memories for himself, his teammates and Manchester United.

"rest assured!"

The Manchester United players nodded in understanding.

After half an hour.

Chu Feng led his teammates into the venue early to complete the warm-up and returned to the locker room to make final preparations. Mourinho did not repeat the tactics, but tapped the tactical board and said in a deep voice: "Today is very important for us. Manchester City is a very good team, I think everyone must admit that.”

"But-" Mourinho looked around, "we are better than them!"

"In the last season and a half, we defeated Manchester City three times. I wonder if you still remember the details of the game."

The hoarse and deep voice echoed in the locker room, as if it could attract people to listen carefully and subconsciously, and then recall those glorious years.

It was very difficult for Manchester United to win the three games. In the end, they gritted their teeth and fought hard for the breath in their chests.

Fortunately, Manchester United survived until the end.

But Manchester City did not stand still. They suffered an unforgettable defeat and will only come back more determinedly.

Now, City are barefoot and United have the baggage of victory.

Therefore, Mourinho needs to remove the baggage from the players' backs so that they can devote themselves to the game.

“In those three games, I saw the run, the desire and the ability to overcome obstacles.”

"And today, I hope you can find a reason not to lose, whether it's honor, family, friends or whatever, it doesn't matter."

“The important thing is to remember that feeling!”

The emotions of the Manchester United players in the locker room, with the pitch changing from high to low, reached the extreme at the last moment.

"Although the boss hasn't taken much blood recently, his skill has increased instead of decreasing compared to before!" Chu Feng smacked his lips.

He didn't have too many feelings, because he had experienced too much before, and the reason why he couldn't lose was already engraved in his bones.

However, newcomers such as Wan-Bissaka and Maguire were directly teased by Mourinho, and they wished they could play and devote themselves to Manchester United immediately.

At the same time, chicken blood was also being given next door.

Although Guardiola usually pays attention to rationality, his level of making chicken soup is really not low. He pointed outside the locker room and said: "How many consecutive victories have we had so far?"

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, but I know that the whole of England and even the whole of Europe wants us to lose. If we lose the game today, maybe they will designate today as a holiday."

"This is the culture that thrives among the weak!"

"That's why we can't let them get what they want. In the last two seasons, we have lost to Manchester United in a row."

"You know what Manchester United fans say? Noisy neighbors with no history."

"Their eyes are raised to their heads and they never take us to heart. I only have one request today!"

Guardiola's gray beard trembled.

"Win the game and let the world know that the era of red Manchester United has passed, and the Premier League will become a blue ocean now and in the future!"

For high-level teams like Manchester United and Manchester City, the importance of mobilizing before the game is self-evident. After all, the game is still a contest of people in the end.

As long as people have high fighting spirit, they can often create something impossible.

In fact, Guardiola also expressed his true feelings. He was fed up with losing to Manchester United, Mourinho and Chu Feng.

"Today, I don't understand you, and I want to end it!" Guardiola thought of the little cotton-padded jacket he once had, but now it was so worn that it leaked air everywhere, and he wished he could beat Chu Feng violently.

But the key is that there is no chance.

"come on!"

"Use the championship to prove that we are the strongest!"

David Silva stood up and extended his hand, and the Manchester City players folded their hands on it and roared hysterically.

They are also fed up with losing to Manchester United, and today is the best chance to avenge their humiliation!
"come on!!!"

The locker room doors of the two teams were pushed open at the same time. Chu Feng and David Silva came face to face. They saw the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

Some things are indeed mysterious, but they do exist.

With cheers ringing through the sky, the players walked out of the tunnel one after another. In today's English League Cup final, the number of fans on site was close to 80,000.

This is the result of the Football Association deliberately vacating some stands to prevent vicious incidents.

This shows how attractive this game is.

"Good evening, viewers!"

"The live broadcast for you now is the 2018-19 season, the EFL Cup final!"

"Manchester United vs. Manchester City!"

"This is a match between Mars and Earth. The two heroes of Manchester City are facing off again. Who can win the final championship trophy?"

In the commentary seats in the stadium stands, commentators from various countries spoke similar opening remarks in different languages. "The following is an introduction to the starting lineups of the two teams. The one wearing the red jersey is Manchester United. Mourinho did not choose 4312, which has the highest usage rate recently, but re-activated Manchester United's main formation last season, 4-2-3- 1. Goalkeeper: "

"Xiao Chu returned to the familiar left winger today, and paired with this special formation, it should be Mourinho's special arrangement."

"The two full-backs are also veterans."

"Let's look at Manchester City again. Guardiola still uses a 4-3-3 formation. The goalkeeper:."

"Due to Mendy's injury recently, Zinchenko became the starting left back, but he is obviously inexperienced and often makes relatively low-level mistakes."

"Fortunately, Laporta has a good sense of defense, otherwise it would be difficult for Manchester City to maintain their unbeaten record."

The camera returns to the green field.

Valencia guessed the direction of the coin and thought it was a good sign, but he actually chose to pick the half.

David Silva is not surprised either.

Because the English League Cup starts at 3 pm local time, and the sun shines out in London, which is gloomy every day, Valencia chose the right half with the sun behind it.

"Those are details that don't need to be taken care of. The kick-off right was originally our first choice, so we just played slowly according to the arrangement before the game."

Guardiola clapped his hands vigorously on the sidelines, his head dazzling in the bright sunshine.

"Glory belongs to Manchester United, the Red Devils move forward bravely!"

"We are the red boys, we are the great Manchester United, and we are on the road to Wembley!"

"Manchester United! Manchester United!"

When Manchester United fans come to Wembley Stadium, they feel like they are back at home, cheering for the team with the loudest songs!

In comparison, Manchester City's team song seems too melodious.

The next second, a giant Tifo was spread out in the stands, with the back of Manchester United's No. 7 on it. He jumped up and punched hard in mid-air.

Splashes of ink reveal the beauty of strength.

Chu Feng grinned, showing his big white teeth, raised his arms high and shouted loudly: "Manchester United, we must win!"

Beep! ! !
With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!
Manchester City possession.

Aguero kicked the ball back to Gundogan, who then passed it to De Bruyne.

Chu Feng rushed forward without saying a word, actively looking for physical confrontation and trying to interfere with De Bruyne.

This is Manchester United's pre-match arrangement - a high press during the half.

When possession of the ball is definitely not dominant, Manchester United players must look for the right opportunity and use the numerical advantage in the area to block Manchester City defenders and midfielders at the first opportunity, preventing Manchester City from comfortably organizing from the backcourt. Attack.

boom!
De Bruyne handled the ball very quickly and passed the ball directly to Seat B in front.

"Although he doesn't look very strong, he does have a lot of meat on his body." Chu Feng swayed and quickly retreated to help defend.

He approached Mourinho before and said he wanted to try playing as a right winger to target Zinchenko.

But Mourinho flatly refused: "Manchester City has Kyle Walker, De Bruyne and Seat B on the right, and the most threatening offense is often launched from here. So..."

Therefore, I want to use my personal ability to suppress Manchester City's right wing.

That's why Chu Feng plays his old position.

"I have never had the chance to face him head-on before. Today I can feel how strong Walker is."

Chu Feng retreated very deep and formed a tight defense with Kanter and Ashley Young. Seeing that there was no chance to break through, the B bench simply knocked to the supporting Gundogan.

The German from Dortmund played as a substitute in Manchester City for two and a half years and finally secured his main position.

Accurate passing, defensive positioning, and versatile midfielder
This is his most obvious advantage, but too slow speed is the biggest problem and is often targeted by other teams.

Mourinho naturally would not miss this opportunity. Kante quickly jumped out from Gundogan's side, like a cheetah hiding in the dark.

I found the right opportunity and bit it hard!
"Nice steal!"

"Kante's support for Manchester United was too strong, and his large-scale sweeping of the midfield and backfield made it difficult for Manchester City to attack like before."

"Manchester City's counterattack is very fast! This is Guardiola's 'three seconds theory'. After losing the ball, they start a counterattack on the spot to delay the opponent's counterattack."

Kanter is very calm when handling the ball and has no habit of procrastinating at all.

"Paul!" Just like he did when he was in the national team, he directly started to look for Pogba in front.

Pogba looked back and saw Otamendi approaching.

So he moved the ball to the right without stopping.

Chu Feng's center of gravity flashed forward quickly. Unexpectedly, Kyle Walker could only dribble the ball forward and actively approach without being caught.

He knows that Kyle Walker doesn't like to tackle, but is used to using speed to counter-press, and then looking for opportunities to steal. This technique has been very mature and effective.

After all, Walker is the fastest right back currently in service.

"Let's try it!" The moment Chu Feng's thoughts arose, his rhythm suddenly changed.

The spikes of the sneakers dug into the turf, and the surging power was reflected back, as if the whole person had cut through the air!

Wow! ! !
The most exciting things in the world are speed and power, because they have a shocking visual impact.

Kyle Walker seems to have been prepared for a long time, and he started to keep pace with Chu Feng!

On the side of the court closest to them, Guardiola put his head in his hands, Mourinho put his hands in his pockets, and their eyes were locked on the two of them.

Even though Kyle Walker always plays immediate, his strength really hasn't declined much.

In European football, those who can keep up with Chu Feng's first three steps are probably no more than a handful.

"Fuck, this kid is just playing dirty!"

Kyle Walker's sense of superiority had just emerged when he saw Chu Feng relying on his small leading position to slow down and put his body across the front, and stretched out his right leg in an extremely subtle way!
This is the "disturbing skill" he learned from Hazard.

Of course, not everyone can use it, but the premise is that you must have strong calves, otherwise you are very likely to injure yourself.

Kyle Walker was caught off guard and was tripped up.

"Hey, it's rare to see this kind of passing!"

"We saw Kyle Walker reaching for a foul, but Xiao Chu's behavior was difficult to accurately define, so the referee signaled the game to continue!"

"Otamendi changed direction and stopped Xiaochu in front of the penalty area!"

"Again another pass?"

No, passing the ball is the most efficient method, so Chu Feng blocked the front of the penalty area diagonally.

Lukaku held Laporta with his back and set up a fort for Pogba.

"Kick up and hit the door!"

"Ederson! Made a world-class save and didn't let Manchester City score in the opening game!"

"Kyle Walker would like to give Ederson a big thank you."

In fact, Kyle Walker was so angry that he walked up to Chu Feng and said viciously: "Next time, wait for me and see if I can kick your ankle!"

He knew that the theory would be useless, so he simply said harsh words.

"Well, I'll wait."

Chu Feng shrugged. If he was afraid of being threatened by others, why would he still kick the ass?

Moreover.
I have an "injury immunity module" and I will mess with you a few more times later!
