Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 269 It’s obviously just the EFL Cup, how can it feel like playing in the Champions League?

"Mourinho replaced Ashley Young and Valencia with Luke Shaw and Wan-Bissaka. The two veterans are now close to their physical limit and cannot provide sufficient defensive intensity."

"And I think Manchester United should also take this opportunity to restart the attacking system on both wings."

"As for Manchester City, Sane replaces Sterling."

There was some confusion on Zhan Jun's face. He didn't understand Guardiola's intention. "Virtual right, real left" has always been Manchester City's strategy, but Manchester United has strengthened its defense on the left.

It stands to reason that Manchester City should in turn increase the offensive intensity on the right.

"Compared to Sterling, Sane has a stronger explosive speed. Guardiola wants to use his personal ability to make a fuss." Zhang Lu gave his own inference.

The camera returned to the green field.

Before leaving the field, Valencia ran to Chu Feng, took off the captain's armband and put it on him personally, "Chu, every time I come off the field, I feel very at ease. Do you know why?"

Before Chu Feng could answer, Valencia said in a positive tone: "Because I believe you can lead them to victory, come on!!!"

"Antonio!"

Kanter raised his head and quickly observed, trying to pass the ball to Pogba, attracting Gundogan to move to the right.

The situation once again became like that at the end of the first half, with fierce physical confrontation giving people a sense of suffocation.

"Mourinho's prejudgmental substitutions are so critical. If Wan-Bissaka hadn't frequently assisted in defense, I'm afraid his right rib would have been beaten to pieces by Manchester City!"

Because Kanter is short but fast and agile, Matic is tall but not very agile, and one of them has a left foot and the other a right foot.

The softness when touching the ball is unparalleled.

In the 76th minute of the game, the situation finally changed.

If there were no conflicts within the team, he might have been able to leave Chelsea a year later, and when he bought Kante, he really said he had a chance to win the championship again.

"However, Manchester United's configuration of double defensive midfielders has good strength in itself."

But Gundogan is already running back, and he can insert the connection between Kanter and Pogba at any time!

This time they had a good memory and avoided Kanter's left side and focused on Matic's right side.

No matter how good you are in martial arts, I won't let you turn around!
Kyle Walker felt the power in front of him, and his whole face turned red, thinking that the two of them were not at the same level at all!
Chu Feng raised his left arm to block, separated Kyle Walker with his body, and lightly tapped the football with his right foot.

After saying that, he quickly turned around and left.

This is not the best option.

This sentence made perfect sense. Matic could only step forward and at the same time called Kanter: "Help me fill the position!"

From Pogba of the national team to Bakayoko of Chelsea, there is a taller partner.

Laporte found De Bruyne with a long mid-range pass. Tintin is now at the peak of his career, and his physical fitness has not declined as seriously as it will in the future.

When the media asked Kanter who he liked to partner with the most, Kanter hesitated for a long time and said Matic.

Watching Gundogan pass the ball over, Kanter suddenly accelerated his sprint and intercepted the ball before David Silva!

Kanter pushed the arch of his foot firmly into the midfield of the football and delivered a mediocre pass.

Before, Manchester United could rely on their super offensive line to cover up.

After the game restarted, Manchester City's surging attack came.

What's even more amazing is that the skin color is one white and one black.

Kanter turned his head and looked to his right, where David Silva was making a diagonal penetration.

"Nice steal!" Mourinho waved his fist vigorously.

as predicted!

So he quietly moved a few steps laterally.

Mourinho stared at Kanter and kept saying: "Paul did not participate in the meeting and returned to defense. He is in the best offensive position, but..."

"Run!"

Perhaps because he was afraid of Chu Feng's acceleration ability, Kyle Walker positioned himself slightly behind, but he reacted quickly and got close immediately.

Before Chu Feng could challenge him, Ding Ding finished the ball with one kick.

Looking at the back of the old captain, Chu Feng smiled and said loudly: "Just wait and applaud for me!"

"If Guardiola is best at playing as an attacking midfielder, then Mourinho is best at playing as a defensive midfielder. The two of them are the pinnacle of offense and defense!"

Due to his height disadvantage, it is difficult for Kanter to play as a single defensive midfielder.

Of course, maybe others don't think so.

Mourinho yelled with hatred. He had known for a long time that putting Pogba in the front midfielder would cause the problem of letting go and not being active.

But at this moment, the passing route to the left was opened!

But those are just passing thoughts.

But in the face of Manchester City's average and tyrannical strength, this fatal problem was fully exposed!
If you don't do your job well, your teammates will suffer.

It's not that he suddenly became pretentious, but when he felt the restraint of the armband on his upper arms, he would always feel that his shoulders were heavy.

Gundogan stepped forward from the center to connect, but Pogba did not retreat, resulting in a gap in the Manchester United midfield!

The fans in the stands had the illusion that it was not Chu Feng’s feet that were leading the football, but the football that was leading Chu Feng’s feet.

The football slid past Chu Feng and got out of Kyle Walker's block!

"Why is this kid so difficult to deal with?" Kyle Walker was extremely irritated.

From Tottenham to Manchester City, he rarely encountered similar forwards, and he was always on tenterhooks when defending.

The key is, you never know what Chu Feng will do!

"Cruyff turns around!"

"It is a practical passing movement to get rid of the pressing defense from the side and behind. It is also a perfect combination of fake movement, speed and flexibility!"

Here, Chu Feng completed his action and rushed a few meters away with the ball before the commentator's voice sounded.

And Kyle Walker remembered Guardiola's instructions, quickly turned around, and used his hands and feet to pull Chu Feng.

I wish I could hang on Chu Feng.

"If you fall to the ground not far from the center line, you may not even be given a yellow card."

Due to Mourinho's tactics, Manchester United did not have many chances to counterattack, and Chu Feng was unwilling to return without success.

So he dragged Kyle Walker forcefully, tried his best to adjust his posture, fell to the ground and passed with his left foot!

"Are you still a human?" Kyle Walker was stunned.

The next second, a dull voice was heard.

boom! ! !
Under the illumination of dozens of spotlights, the football was like a meteor streaking across the sky, spinning and falling towards the right wing.

The cheers of Manchester United fans also became louder.

The reason why they like Chu Feng is because of the spirit of never giving up in him.

It is precisely because of this that Manchester United emerged from the Munich tragedy and created an era belonging to the Red Devils!
Mahrez predicted where the football would land, gritted his teeth and ran as fast as he could, and Chu Feng tried his best to create the opportunity.

He couldn't waste it!

Zinchenko, who was "crouching" in defense, thought Chu Feng would fall to the ground and take a free kick, but he didn't expect him to pass the ball.

Caught off guard, he relaxed his vigilance, and then recklessly stepped forward to grab him.

"Go back!"

Laporte reminded him anxiously, but in the end he was still half a beat too slow. He could only watch Mahrez stop and buckle, and beat Zinchenko cleanly!

Wow! ! !
At Wembley Stadium, the Manchester United fans in the stands suddenly stood up, like balls of blazing flames.

Immediately afterwards, impassioned singing began.

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

"Wembley! Wembley!"

"We are the great Manchester United!"

Mahrez dribbled the ball towards the penalty area at high speed while observing the position of the defensive players.

Chu Feng and Kyle Walker were still in the midfield and would definitely not have time to participate in the attack. He suddenly felt a strange feeling.

It turns out that since he came to Manchester United, basically every time he attacks, he can see a familiar figure.

His father passed away due to a heart attack at the age of 15. He missed the opportunity to change his destiny at the age of 18. At the age of 22, he was still playing in the French low-level league.
I don't mean to say this to say how miserable his life was.

After all, whoever you want to be has to endure the pain.

It’s just that Mahrez understands that training rain or shine does not necessarily lead to a beautiful tomorrow.

So like Chu Feng, he is used to seizing opportunities!

Otamendi wants to mark Lukaku, and Laporta will definitely attack him, as long as he can get past the latter.
Mahrez has been playing wingman before, but today he also wants to be the protagonist.

Although Lukaku always missed good opportunities in front of the goal, his consciousness was reasonable and he immediately moved in the opposite direction and took away Otamendi.

The polo king knows that his explosive power is inherently lacking.

But what he is good at is rhythm and technique, so he touches the ball continuously and quickly, and immediately swings his left foot out of space.

Laporta subconsciously stretched his feet to intercept.

"Mahrez plays the ball horizontally again, he looks a bit like Robben!"

"Cut inside and shoot. Beautiful!"

"The goal was scored! Manchester United took the lead and scored a valuable goal in the 81st minute of the second half at the end of the game!"

"As long as they hold on to the score, they will be the winner tonight!"

boom! ! !
Wembley Stadium was like boiling water, churning violently.

After Mahrez scored, he did not celebrate alone. Instead, he trotted all the way to Chu Feng and said, "Chu, thanks to you, not only did you pass the ball, but the quality is also so high."

"I'm passing the ball with my feet. It's also a trick." Chu Feng high-fived and hugged him, not forgetting to say a few words of humility.

In fact, he was not lying, because it was indeed very difficult to send that pass when he was about to lose his balance.

Didn’t you see that Kyle Walker hasn’t recovered yet?
Just because he racked his brains and couldn't figure it out, he could only lower his head and say to his teammates: "Sorry, my question."

"It doesn't matter, the game is not over yet, let's continue!" De Bruyne explained.

As long as he doesn't run into Courtois, he has always been considerate.

At the same time, Guardiola on the sidelines had no time to worry and urgently asked Fernandinho and Delph to warm up.

In fact, it was not just Zinchenko's problem just now, but there is no point in worrying about who takes the blame now. The top priority is to find a way to equalize the score.

Guardiola did not leave any substitutions. Anyway, there is no overtime in the English League Cup, and injury time is over!
He must risk everything!
Mourinho was not too excited, but called Matic to the sidelines, "Let the boys move bigger and give free kicks from 30 meters away. Manchester City does not have high points to compete for high-altitude balls." After Teach returned to the green court, he conveyed his boss's instructions to his teammates.

Here the Manchester United players have finished celebrating, and Chu Feng is also assigning tasks to his teammates, "Romelu, you have to retreat deeply later, between the Manchester City defenders and midfielders, and try to interfere with their ball play as much as possible."

"Paul, the same goes for you, always pay attention to your position."

"."

Lukaku nodded to express understanding, but Pogba was a little unhappy, but if you ask him to explain the reason, he really can't tell.

Maybe it's just the temperament of a child.

Unexpectedly, the fourth official suddenly raised an LED sign with two numbers clearly written on it - 6 and 39.

McTominay replaces Pogba.

"."

Pogba is not as bold as Kepa, because he knows Mourinho's character and will definitely do it if he puts him on the bench.

Maybe I’ll have to spend a few days with the youth team.

As for the reason for all this?

Pogba glanced at Chu Feng without leaving a trace. It turned out that he was the future of Manchester United. Both his teammates and the senior management could be said to dote on him.

But it's different now.

"Well played."

McTominay praised him, high-fived Pogba and stepped onto the pitch.

Since Kante came to Manchester United, his playing time has been squeezed again, but even so, he has not relaxed his training.

Because he knows he will be able to play sooner or later.

"Scott, the task of keeping an eye on Fernandinho is up to you!"

Chu Feng stretched out his right fist towards his friend.

"Don't worry!" McTominay's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Beep! ! !
When the game started again, Manchester City was not in a hurry, calmly passed the ball and slowly moved forward.

It has to be said that Guardiola is very good at training players.

But Mourinho also said that when the game reaches the final stage, they will not give the opponent a chance to control the ball.

High position press, frontcourt pressure!
Everyone is chasing football like crazy!
Fernandinho was originally inferior to Gundogan in terms of organization, and he was even less able to sort out the offense under Manchester United's relentless pressing.

So this job has to be left to De Bruyne and David Silva.

However, the latter has entered the end of his career and is even preparing to return to his hometown to retire after the season.

The physical fitness bar has already turned red!
Soon, the fourth official raised the sign again, indicating 6 minutes of injury time.

At Wembley Stadium, some people had begun to leave the stadium one after another, seemingly not having much hope for victory, as if the EFL Cup championship had already belonged to Manchester United.

"So tired!" De Bruyne said to himself, as if he was numbing himself.

But what can he do?

You can't give up and quit, right?
"Xiao Chu's physical fitness also declined severely. Kyle Walker and De Bruyne hit a wall and broke through. Fortunately, he grabbed De Bruyne's clothes in advance!"

"He also received a yellow card for it."

"Let's see how Manchester City will deal with it?"

De Bruyne looked at the scoreboard and saw that the time had reached 94 minutes and 52 seconds. This might be Manchester City's last attack.

He originally wanted to pass the ball directly into the penalty area.

But that can only rely on the Manchester United players making mistakes, otherwise with the average height of Manchester City players, there is basically no hope of grabbing a point.

So he passes the ground ball to Fernandinho.

Xiaomai kept his duty in mind and pounced ferociously.

"The old captain still has rich experience. He blocked the position in advance and then transferred it, passing the ball to David Silva on the side!"

"Can a space magician save Manchester City?"

No!

He no longer had the strength to break through, but his years of experience allowed him to discover the gaps in Manchester United's defense.

Not big, but enough!
A precise pass ripped open a corner of the defense, and the football rolled against the turf towards Sane.

The most common mistake for young players is to lose concentration late in the game, and Wan-Bissaka accidentally fell to the ground and shoveled.

Neither the man nor the ball was tackled!

Sane had no time to thank Wan-Bissaka and dribbled the ball towards the Manchester United penalty area.

"David Luiz's defense was timely!"

"Sane, he chose to sweep towards the center of the penalty area!"

Under the watchful eyes of all the fans.

Aguero squeezed out the last of his energy, inserted diagonally to Maguire's left side, and shot directly towards the football!
The football drilled steadily into the lower right corner of the goal!
2-2! ! !

"Aguero is absolutely flat!"

"Only football can take your emotions from high to low, or from low to high, in just one second."

"People always say no one knows, what's going to happen next?"

"Today's game really showed this for us."

"The time seems to have returned to May 2012, 5. Who can bring a perfect ending to the Premier League is still unknown."

"Aguero has become the embodiment of miracles after arriving at Manchester City for the first year!"

"I used the miracle of 9230 to snatch the league championship from Manchester United. How could it be today?"

The only thing left at Wembley Stadium was the cheers of Manchester City fans.

The Manchester United fans had painful expressions, and their emotions went from high to low in an instant. They also thought of the nightmare they had.

"Damn, it's obviously just the EFL Cup, how can it feel like playing in the Champions League?" Chu Feng stared at the Manchester City players celebrating crazily and pushed back his sweat-wet hair.

At the end, he said with a wry smile: "It's not too tiring!"

If they can't complete an attack in the remaining time, it is estimated that after they restart the ball, the referee will directly signal the end of the game.

To be honest, there must be some disappointment.
"Brothers, we fought against Real Madrid on penalty kicks, and it was in the Champions League final!"

"Don't be afraid, just do it and it's over!"

Chu Feng shouted at the top of his lungs.

But the effect was not very good, and Manchester United players were still dejected.

"I have to do it." Chu Feng rubbed his brows and cheered up again.

Beep-beep-beep! ! !
Just as Chu Feng thought, when the football was kicked out of the sideline by Manchester City, the referee immediately blew the whistle!
All the players were lying on the turf, their chests rising and falling like bellows.

累.
They all had the same idea in mind.

After a while, players from the two teams gathered in their respective areas. Mourinho asked in a deep voice: "Who wants to be the first to take the penalty?"

In last season's Champions League final, Ibrahimovic stepped up.

What about this time?
"Boss, let me do it." Chu Feng raised his hand without saying anything and said in an extremely relaxed tone.

Mourinho nodded.

The first penalty had a great impact on morale, and several veterans were replaced. The one he trusted the most was Chu Feng.

With Chu Feng showing off, Mahrez, Kante, David Luiz and Matic also stepped up.

"If you don't know which direction to kick, then kick to the center, because the goalkeeper often won't stand still and it will make them look like a fool!" De Gea repeated what he said in the Champions League final.

"David, is there a possibility?" Chu Feng said with a smile: "Man City thinks so too?"

De Gea was stunned when he heard this.

Good boy, how dare you disturb my Taoist mind!

"Okay, let me tell you a few words at the end." Chu Feng regained his serious expression and pointed to the goal in the distance, "All the penalty kick players and goalkeepers are fighting with their hearts."

"Only those who conquer their own hearts are strong enough."

“So, follow your heart and don’t think too much!”

After saying that, Chu Feng stretched out his right hand and roared: "Manchester United, we must win!"

The Manchester United players folded their hands one after another.

"Manchester United must win!"

Then they stood side by side in the center circle until the final moment came.

Chu Feng walked slowly towards the penalty spot, without any pressure between his eyebrows. He picked up the football and turned it around on his fingertips several times.

"This mentality is really invincible!"

Commentators from several countries couldn't help but admire it.

But Edson was under great psychological pressure and kept jumping in place nervously.

Whistle, run-up, hit!
There was no fake move and he hit the right side confidently, but Ederson finally judged the wrong direction.

Chu Feng looked back at his teammates and raised his eyebrows pretending to be light, as if to say: "Look, it's very simple, just do this as I do."

People, it's always like this.

If someone takes the lead and sets an example, the heart will not be shaken. Besides, who is the person who takes penalty kicks at Manchester United who has not experienced many battles?
The psychological quality is very strong!
"The first penalty kick for Manchester City was David Silva. He deceived the goalkeeper and pushed the shot to the left to score!"

"Mahrez, Aguero, Kante, Fernandinho, all of them are very stable in their free throws, and they all put the ball into the goal!"

"Just look at the last two rounds!"

David Luiz took a deep breath and scored again with a volley from the center. He clenched his fists to celebrate and walked towards his teammates in the center circle.

Soon, De Gea looked at De Bruyne in front of him, and Chu Feng's words were all in his mind.

I'll be a fool for once!
Then he saw De Bruyne take a penalty kick.
When De Gea held the ball in his arms, he heard the roar of the mountain and the tsunami of cheers!

"Beautiful! De Gea!"

"As long as Matic can score the ball, Manchester United will win the EFL Cup!"

"Run-up! Hit the goal and the ball goes in!"
